\r\n Default Help with the Acronyms on Here\r\n

\r\n
\r\n Being a relatively to our discussion threads I find it hard to keep up with conversations because of the acronyms that are used. I am not talking about the common Internet chat type but the ones that are specific to our hobby. Can ya�ll enlighten the fresh fish so we will know what is going on? It really kills the learning ability when you don�t understand the best part.
\r\n

    \r\n Default Here are a couple mentioned in my post\r\n

    \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n
    \r\n
    \r\n
    \r\n "Visible kabuki"
    \r\n
    \r\nKabuki is a form of Japanese theater. The proper word should be, kuroko, which is a stage hand dressed entirely in black and are considered invisible. Stage hands assit in costume changes and moving things on the set. The term has evolved in the reenacting community to mean the people behind the scenes doing the work so the reenactors can reenact.
    \r\n
    \r\nWhen I wrote, visible kabuki, I meant people like those involved in moving trash, cleaning portajohns, making sure the water lines are running and et cetera. People who make an effort to not be so noticeable and obvious when performing logistical duties are always appreciated.
    \r\n
    \r\n"Been to the circus and seen the elephant"
    \r\n
    \r\nSeeing the elephant is a common theme in period literature. Elephants were an unusual thing to be seen in America. The first glimpse by folks then was often in a travelling circus. I have seen it used by folks early in the Civil War to describe their first battle. Here\'s a google search I used for the term, seen the elephant.
    \r\n
    \r\nAn interesting quote is, "I\'ve seen the elephant, and I\'ve heard the owl, and I\'ve been to the other side of the mountain."\r\n

    - Silas Tackitt
    \r\n
    \r\n"Civilian Camps are Resource Pigs. Let\'s do something about that. Hardly an original concept, nor are the solutions. Civilian Camps tend to suck up more of the wood resources of an event because each and every Canvas Palace has to have its very own fire in which to cook its very own Plumb Duff and Roast Beast." - - Terre Lawson, 27 April 2015.

    Just to muddy the water:
    \r\nAOP also stands for Army of the Pacific, a reenactor organization based on the west coast which participates in NSA (North/South Alliance) events, usually in the western theater area, such as Franklin, Corinth, Perryville and Mill Springs. I believe they have a website.\r\n

    \r\nIt\'s also thought of as "F***** Up Beyond All Recognition"

    \r\nAnyway not a period expression, it\'s a 20th century thing, and so is SNAFU "Situation Normal, All F***** Up" .

    \r\n Default CDVs\r\n

    \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n
    \r\n
    \r\n
    \r\n One that had me stumped for months when I started reading posts here was CDV - Carte D\'Visite = low cost reproduction photographs which were printed on card stock paper a little larger than visiting cards (which is what the name means in French).
    \r\n
    \r\nBefore this, when you had your image "struck" (picture taken) the image was on tin or glass, it was a relatively expensive process and when you were done you had only the single image.
    \r\n
    \r\nJust before our time period the process of commercial photography evolved so that you could have CDVs made, and have multiple copies for very little money. It became common to have your picture taken and send copies to families and friends. Because of this, we have many more pictures of more ordinary people (and soldiers) available as documentation.
    \r\n
    \r\nHope that\'s helpful,

    \r\n
    \r\nBefore this, when you had your image "struck" (picture taken) the image was on tin or glass, it was a relatively expensive process and when you were done you had only the single image.
    \r\n
    \r\nJust before our time period the process of commercial photography evolved so that you could have CDVs made, and have multiple copies for very little money. It became common to have your picture taken and send copies to families and friends. Because of this, we have many more pictures of more ordinary people (and soldiers) available as documentation.

    \r\n \r\n Is there a reason for this "disagreement", that the great unwashed of us may be informed?\r\n \r\n

    If there is a reason for this disagreement, it is between Paul at the AC and that individual and has no business being aired here, especially if there were threats of a lawsuit involved. Any posts on this topic will be automatically deleted.\r\n

      Help with the Acronyms on Here

      Being a relatively to our discussion threads I find it hard to keep up with conversations because of the acronyms that are used. I am not talking about the common Internet chat type but the ones that are specific to our hobby. Can ya�ll enlighten the fresh fish so we will know what is going on? It really kills the learning ability when you don�t understand the best part.

      Thanks
