HRL Freshman Move-In Guide 2014
Housing & Residence Life Freshman Move-In Guide
Housing & Residence Life FRESHMAN FALL MOVE-IN GUIDE 2014 Welcome to Old Dominion University! Welcome Monarchs! I am thrilled you will be living on campus with us! I remember the day I moved into my freshman residence hall - it seems like yesterday! I was a first generation college student excited to meet new friends, build experiences with my roommate and hall-mates, and engage in the college experience. My new friends and Resident Assistant were instrumental in my involvement in campus activities and adjustment to my new 'home'. Living on campus significantly changed my life. Not only was I academically engaged as a biology major, I also became a student leader for several organizations on campus which opened the door to my career path. Through these experiences I connected with peers from all walks of life, and these people have become life-long friends that I now connect with through social media. Lastly, and most importantly, I learned a lot about myself in the process. I share this with you because we all have a story - you will have a story. As you prepare for your first year at Old Dominion University, I challenge you to think about what is important to you - academics, social connections, extra-curricular activities, etc. What experiences will be a part of your story? The decisions you make while in college will significantly impact your future. Enjoy every moment! Reach out if you need assistance, connect with your peers and faculty. Get involved in campus organizations like Residence Hall Association or Community Council, learn beyond your current knowledge, and dedicate time to your academic studies. Navigating life as a college student will present both challenges and rewards. We are here to assist you and provide resources that will help launch you on your way to success. Best wishes to you and have a successful year! April Hicks Konvalinka, Ed.D Executive Director of Housing & Residence Life Old Dominion University 1. Contact your roommate(s). 2.

£300,000 of public money is being spent to dredge part of the Chess. We doubt this will provide a solution to flooding.
The River Chess Association
The River Chess is a chalk stream that rises in Chesham in Buckinghamshire and runs through the Chess Valley to Rickmansworth, where it becomes a tributary of the Colne.
The Chess Valley is part of the Chilterns Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, of which chalk streams are a characteristic feature. The Chess is home to a variety of important wildlife, such as water voles, brown trout and stream water crowfoot. The scenic river is enjoyed by walkers, fishermen, photographers and wildlife enthusiasts.
However, the Chess faces many threats, including low flows caused by abstraction for the public water supply, sewage discharges, and invasive species such as mink and Japanese knotweed. For this reason the River Chess Association was formed to protect and enhance the River Chess for future generations.
On our site, you can find out what makes the Chess special, the problems it is facing and how the River Chess Association is working to conserve the river.

Man who hosted kids' parties faces charges
FORT WORTH - A man who hosted parties for children at his miniature-train complex in this Fort Worth suburb faces two charges of aggravated sexual assault of a child after turning himself in Friday.
Clinton "Don" Simpson, 65, of Keller, was booked in the Tarrant County Jail on two counts of aggravated sexual assault of a child younger than 14. Bond was set at $75,000 on each count.
One victim is involved in both counts, and five girls have made accusations, Keller police said.
Simpson targeted the girls on visits to his backyard miniature train facility, called Mr. Don's Whistle Stop, police said. Authorities said they ordered the Simpson family to shut down the facility.
Police said about 200 parents have called them, and investigators are checking to see whether follow-up interviews are necessary.

text: The F100 is a very nice camera. I have two of them, both with grips, and probably with less than 20 films through them. I think I paid the equivalent of around 50 and 100 quid for them, respectively. I got them as parts of jumble sales, and just resold all the bits I did not want. I've taken the grips off, because their batteries drain when attached, even with the camera off. When I do wildlife or macro photography, I put the grip on to have the vertical shutter release. Otherwise, it just makes the kit heavier. Having two bodies also means that you can one day, when both have broken, use parts from one to fix the other. I'm not there yet, and hope that is not necessary.

Uthiyan Cheralathan
|This article does not cite any references or sources. (June 2010)
Uthiyan Cheralatan (Perum Chorru Udiyan Cheralathan, Athan I) is the first recorded Chera ruler of the Sangam period in ancient South India. He had his capital at a place called Kuzhumur in Kuttanad (central Kerala) and expanded the kingdom northward and eastward from his original homeland. His lifetime is broadly determined to be between first and third century AD. His queen was Veliyan Nallini, the daughter of Veliyan Venman. Uthiyan Cheralathan was a contemporary of the Chola ruler Karikala Chola. He is praised for his elephant corps and cavalry.
His famous royal kitchen is said to have been at Kuzhumur. He is even fabled to have fed the armies of the Kauravas and the Pandavas in the Mahabharata war.
During the reign of Uthiyan Cheralathan, foreign trade by the famous sea port Muziris flourished, bringing great prosperity to his kingdom. Uthiyan Cheralatan assumed the title "Vanavaramban" which could either mean "one whose kingdom reaches up to the sky" or "the one who's loved by the gods". The latter title was previously adopted by the Maurya emperor Ashoka. He went into several battles and in the Battle of Venni with Karikala Chola, his back was injured while leading the army. Being unable to bear the disgrace he is believed to have committed suicide by starvation, a common practice at the time. It is said that some of his companions also died with him unwilling to part him. Uthiyan Cheralatan was succeeded by his son, Nedum Cheralathan.

Your solicitor will look after this for you. It's all about formally transferring ownership from us to you, and checking there are no legal obstacles in the way.
Once the legal work is complete, your solicitor will exchange contracts with us. This is when you pay your deposit and commit to the deal taking place.
On the date of completion, you become the legal owner of your new home. Collect the keys and make yourself comfy!

Step in to discover a traditional pub of unique character, revered for its eclectic range of real ales and its quality pub food, which are served, as they should be, with a generous measure of famous British hospitality.

'Deadliest Catch' Captain Phil Harris Dies
The deep-sea fisherman, 53, suffered a stroke on Jan. 29 while in an Alaskan port off-loading a catch. He was flown to Anchorage for surgery and showed signs of recovery through the days following, but ultimately succumbed to the trauma.
"It is with great sadness that we say goodbye to our dad - Captain Phil Harris," his sons Jake and Josh Harris said in a statement posted on the Discovery Channel Web site. "Dad has always been a fighter and continued to be until the end. For us and the crew, he was someone who never backed down."
The reality show, which has filmed five seasons, has been one of the Discovery Channel's most popular. Harris was a central figure for this drama featuring the ageless tale of man taking on the elements. It depicts the crab fishing industry in the dangerous waters off Alaska.
In a statement, Discovery Channel senior vice president Elizabeth Hillman says, "Phil was a devoted father and loyal friend to all who knew him."
"We will miss his straightforward honesty, wicked sense of humor and enormous heart," she said.
Harris had been showing signs of recovery from the stroke. His sons wrote in a Feb. 3 posting on the ship's Web site: "No one ever said Captain Phil Harris wasn't tough. Today, dad showed some good signs of improvement, squeezing our hands and even summoning his trademark Captain's bluntness ... We are encouraged, but still very cautious."
Harris began working on a fishing boat at age 7, and by the time he was 21, he was running a fishing vessel out of Seattle.

Geez he smoked three packs of cigs a day.. i cant believe he lived this long.. he looked like crap
- Wednesday 10 February
Just because he smoked cigarettes doesn't mean anything, and he looked fine to me. He went through a lot, almost missed a season of fishing due to an accident while out on the sea. I would like to see you do the work he and his crew did. Josh and Jake, I know the pain, the suddeness of your loss, all I have to say is remember the good times, the bad times and the fun you had with him. I admired Phil for going back out to sea after his accident, and I admire you, his sons, for being strong in his absence. Take care and God Bless all of the crew of the Cornelia Marie.

TripAdvisor has served up a list of the top-rated states and restaurants for barbecue and declared Tennessee as No. 1 in the U.S.
"Being named the No. 1 state for barbecue, by the No. 1 most popular travel site in the world is a huge honor for Tennessee," said Commissioner Kevin Triplett, Tennessee Department of Tourist Development.
"We look forward to welcoming foodies from far and wide to our state to fill up on the best barbecue in the world."
Gas prices are still creeping up in some parts of the Southeastern United States, but motorists are forecast to pay the lowest summer gas prices since 2009.
In comparison to this same date last year, motorists in Tennessee are saving 92 cents per gallon.
"Prices should begin to drop later this month as refiners around the nation complete their maintenance switch over to produce summer-fuel grades," said Mark Jenkins, spokesman for AAA-The Auto Club Group.
The U.S. Department of Energy's 2015 Oak Ridge facilities public bus tour is now offered to visitors through November.
This popular tour of the 33,000-acre DOE Oak Ridge Federal Reservation offers visitors a first-hand look at all of the DOE's Oak Ridge facilities and provides historical commentary on the transformation of the Oak Ridge Reservation in more than 70 years.
Since its inception in 1996, the DOE public tour program has attracted about 35,000 visitors from all 50 states.
A "Super Hero Magic Show" is the next installment in Kingston Public Library's annual summer reading program.
Barry Mitchell will headline the show on June 10 in the library at 1004 Bradford Way.
"Every Hero Has a Story!" is the theme of this year's program, which will continue each Wednesday through the end of the month at 10 a.m.
A photo shoot and tattoos are planned for June 17.
Police and firefighters will represent hometown heroes in the final program on June 24.
It's summertime, and time for the Rockwood Public Library's 2015 summer reading program.
This is the 27th annual statewide summer reading program in Tennessee. The theme is "Every Hero Has a Story!"
"We will be exploring all heroes — real and fiction — this summer," said Rockwood Library Director Margaret Marrs. "These programs are designed not only to encourage the individual reading habits of older kids, but also to inspire and delight preschoolers."
"Every Hero Has a Story," the 2015 summer reading at Harriman Public Library, kicks off June 17.
HABIT — or Human-Animal Bond in Tennessee — will have representatives at the library at 601 Walden St.
A number of activities are planned for "Transform Yourself and Read!" Harriman Public Library's 2015 Teen Summer Reading Program.
All programs are from 2 to 3 p.m. each Thursday in July. The program could extend past the designated time.
Activities get underway on July 9, with "Divergent and The Hunger Games T-Shirt Designs."
Discussions will focus on females coming into power in books and on screen, as well as male vs. female heroes.
The first in a series of five workshops to help nonprofit agencies will be on June 12 in Roane County United Way offices in Midtown.
The workshop, "Board Development," will be from 8:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. The United Way offices are at 2735 Roane State Hwy.
"An effective board of directors is essential for a nonprofit organization to be successful," said Dina Jackson, United Way executive director.
"This workshop details the characteristics of high-performance boards."
Louise Warmley has seen far too many people die far too early.
Her father and two uncles were taken by heart attacks. Siblings died as a result of cancer and lung disease.
But, on the other hand, there was her mother.
"She died six hours before she turned 100," Warmley said with a grin. "Her hands were never idle, except when she was asleep."
It is obvious that Warmley, 95, inherited her mother's life expectancy and strong work ethic.

Arizona Cardinals
ESPN's future power rankings place Arizona Cardinals 16th in NFL, last in NFC West
By all accounts, the Arizona Cardinals are in much better shape heading into the 2014 season than they were entering the 2013 campaign.
Their defense has emerged as one of the best in the league. Their offense is filled with playmakers at the skill positions. The offensive line should be improved, and Carson Palmer stands to be the first QB to start Week 1 in consecutive seasons since Kurt Warner did so in 2008 and 2009.
But no matter how much things may have improved in Arizona, the unfortunate reality is it still might not be enough to get them to the top of the ridiculously loaded NFC West.
That seems to be the belief shared by ESPN's panel of NFL and analysts, who in an ESPN Insider piece about the future power rankings has the Cardinals 16th in the NFL, but fourth in the NFC West.
The panel rated every NFL team's three-year projection in roster (excluding QB), QB, draft, front office and coaching, with the results being averaged and weighted to produce the overall rankings.
It's noted that the Cardinals improved in every one of the five categories since last season -- and their movement in the non-QB roster category tied San Diego for the biggest jump in the league in that spot -- but unfortunately their uncertainty at QB beyond this season holds them back a bit.
The dilemma: The QB position will determine the fate of this franchise the next three seasons, with Palmer (who is an unrestricted free agent at the end of the 2014 season) and with his eventual successor (Logan Thomas, Ryan Lindley or a player not yet on the roster). Palmer turned the ball over in every one of the first nine games of the 2013 season, which will kill the fortunes of any team, no matter how good the defense (the Cardinals' defense was fourth in the NFL in yards allowed per play in 2013). Patrick Peterson will be due for a big contract extension soon, so figuring out the QB position is just a starting point. --Louis Riddick
As far as the future is concerned, Mel Kiper wrote that while the Cardinals don't have an obvious successor for Palmer, provided they can block for him he'll be pretty effective leading the team. The big thing, he believes, is actually the development of the team's secondary, especially with Tyrann Mathieu and rookie Deone Bucannon.
This could become not merely one of the best secondaries in the NFL but also one of the NFL's most versatile and effective in tackling -- a huge factor when you play Colin Kaepernick and Russell Wilson each two times a season.
Indeed, the Cardinals appear to be in pretty good shape going forward. However, the panel placed the St. Louis Rams 12th, San Francisco 49ers third and the Seattle Seahawks first.

How do you squirt?
My boyfriend loves squirters and I want to figure out how I can do it for him to turn him on. Any pointers?
Most Helpful Opinion
WOW! I just responded this on another question..
All right... I like this.. There's no better thing than finding someone who wants to learn something new.
1st: You must had done pee before you do this. Since your squirt will come from you urethra which is the passage that your pee comes from. So, you must drink lots of water during the day to clean your system up. You don't want to scare your boyfriend if it comes out smelling like pee. He may not do it again.
2nd: You must be very wet and aroused. Be very horny the first time so it won't bother you. Just like your 1st vaginal intercourse and anal for the 1st time.
3rd: You must use a curved dildo or someone else's fingers.
4th: You have to push up against your vagina wall behind your stomach.
5th: Procedure:
1. Lay down on the edge of your bed, open wide.
2. Have your mate stand in front of you. With one hand, making the "spiderman hand" when he's shooting his web, entering you and the other hand pressing a bit firm on your stomach, way below your belly-buttom / top of your vagina wall. So, your stomach will be between both of his hands.
3. He is going to enter you all the way in with his 2 middle fingers. To be clear, middle and ring fingers only. The pinky and index fingers he will leave them out hitting your butt.
4. He will then go up and down in you, not in and out, fast and hard. It will be uncomfortable at first but that is the way to stimulate your "g" spot and get you to ejaculate.
5. He has to push your "g" spot with "inside hand" up against his other hand on top of your stomach, FAST AND HARD". If you are wet and horny and well-concentrated. You will squirt. You can instruct him of where you feel the most pleasure so he can concentrate in that area. He could bent/fold slightly his fingers.
Hope this wasn't too long. Let me know how it goes.
I want to let all you guys know that this is something you DO NOT DO.
When you press a girls stomach while a finger/d*** is inside her and you hear your girl moan/scream, she is not screaming from pleasure. She is screaming because this move (that many guys think girls like) actually hurts like a b*tch. No girl likes this. It doesn't feel good and she wants to hurry up and fake an orgasm so you'll stop doing this.
Yes, girls do like the stomach pressing. But ONLY with clitoral stimulation.
Thanks for the comment and update on my knowledge.. You are well appreciated.
What Guys Said 10
He has good taste.
though not all girl can squirt.
You do so by massaging the g spot. you'll get a feeling of having to pee but work through it and then your about to come push on the g spot and rub and the same time (keep a constant pressure.)
-What a g-spot?-
This is an erogenous zone which when stimulated can lead to high levels of sexual arousal and powerful orgasms.
To find the female g-spot:
Get into position. Lie on your back and place a pillow under your head and a towel under your buttocks. Bend your knees and spread your legs until you are able to reach your vagina easily.
Apply oil or lubricant. Pour a small amount of oil or lubricant around your vagina and clitoris. Lightly massage the oil into your genital area. Spend a bit of time arousing yourself to make it easier to find your G spot. Next Place your palm face down on your vulva and insert a finger inside your vagina bending it forward and pressing upward. It's important to use firm pressure when trying to locate your G spot. It's about 2 inches in on the what would be considered the ceiling of the vagina. It will feel much different from the rest of the vagina. This area is usually only about 1 inch in diameter. When you stimulate your G spot it will produce a very strong sensation.
You need to let go. My Girlfriend is a HUGE squirter. More like a gusher. From what she tells me it feels like she is going to urinate. That is when you need to let go. Many women hold back at that point thinking they are going to p*ss all over their man. Let him have all you got. Just relax and enjoy.
Same. Mine literally soaks the sheets.
What Girls Said 5
g spot massage can getting you to squirt..I am practicing that at the moment. LOL
they say every woman can do it but not all of them will..whatever that means.
check out this:
also check out g spot orgasm in the search option on this page..
hopefully someone who can already do it will come and help out better
I am a big squirter. I can do it almost all the time very easily and they are huge. Unfortunately it is very hard to explain how to do it. It takes a combo of different stimulation I believe. Sometimes via my clitoris alone and sometimes with clitoris and g-spot stimulation. I can even do it while having anal sex and rubbing my clitoris. Mine usually accompanies a long series of extreme orgasms and I will often squirt several times in a row (meaning several distinct and separate squirts--NOT pulses). Like many other women here have said, the biggest thing to remember is that you have to relax. It is very helpful, not to mention reassuring, if you pee before doing this. It can happen as much by luck as by skill. You can do it through masturbation of course too. Once you figure it out, you will very quickly learn how to do it all the time--I promise.
Okay...this is kind of hard to explain. I squirt...but it has never, ever been something I have had to intentionally think about really. It just happens, but not all the time. I actually squirt from "mixed stimulation" meaning clitoral and gspot, not necessarily at the same time though. It doesn't ever happen with just one or the other.
It is definitely a feeling like you are going to pee, but you just have to relax and realize that that's not what is going to happen...
It is the same muscles you use when you pee or when you are holding your pee...hence the feeling is the same...
One piece of advice is to go to the bathroom right before you are trying this...and then you will know that what is coming out is really, in fact, not pee...
I don't know what else I can say really...any other specific questions?
I agree with you. It is very hard to explain how. It's like a Rubik's Cube. Get all six sides by a mix of luck and skill and then you get the big prize.
Have an opinion?

WASHINGTON (AP) – Two years ago, Sen. Bob Corker wondered aloud whether the standstill Senate was worth a grown man's time.

Dr. Phil toys with me as he allows me to work my center and left wing to get the puck tantalizingly close to his net.
Then that big smile erupts on the face of a man who hands out "Live With Happiness" dog-tags – like the one dangling beneath his Hawaiian shirt – as he passes through life. With a couple of cagey quick twists of his wrists, Dr. Phil clears his end of the rink and fires a slap shot past my befuddled defensemen and goalie.…
A few years ago, Tandy Wilson, chef and owner of City House, offered this tip about earning his respect as a diner: Don't tell me you're a foodie, he said, tell me you're a "regular."
We were having a conversation about overuse of the term "foodie," and how even though it can be a well-meaning label to show a person's interest in a particular topic, it also can carry the snobbish weight of those who salivate over the trendiest dishes – and then salivate over their keypads to type a Yelp review after just one visit.
YOU GOTTA LOVE 'EM. When some fall in love, falling headlong and defenseless, even despite subsequent events and the weight of time and change, never mind the disappointment and the heartbreak – never mind life – the love remains because that fall and the feel of it last a lifetime.

Thanksgiving can be a near sport if you forget there is more to it than the start of a shopping season and columns of dollar figures set against projections for and by retailers.

A Norwalk woman has been arrested and charged with murder in connection with the dead of an elderly Sandusky man.
Bethany Sandy, 24, of Norwalk, was charged early today with complicity to aggravated murder, aggravated arson and aggravated robbery, Sandusky police Sgt. Dana Newell told the Sandusky Register.
Police plan to release more details during a press conference this afternoon.
First-responders to a house fire in Sandusky found a body in the basement Dec. 3 and both the death and the fire are being investigated as suspicious by state authorities.
The deceased was 86-year-old George Martin, who lived at the home at 2201 Campbell St., according to Sandusky Police Lt. Robert Vanscoy. He lived at the home with his wife, who arrived at the scene after the fire had started and told firefighters he might still be in there.
While investigating the fire, and upon closer examination, Martin was observed to have what appeared to be multiple stab wounds to his body, Sandusky officials said. Several agencies working together with the investigation.
Sandusky firefighters were called to the blaze just before 8:30 p.m.
On arrival, they found the two-story, wood-frame, single-family home engulfed in flames. With the help of Perkins Township Fire Department, the fire was knocked down by about 9 p.m.
By midnight, local authorities had turned the investigation over to the State Fire Marshal and the Bureau of Criminal Investigation.
