In a must-read book, The Age of the Crowd, the author, Serge Moscovici, writes on crowd psychology.
In crowds, there is a strong pressure towards equality, which is one of their universally recognised characteristics. Why is this? In social and family life, there are many people with whom we would like to have an exclusive relationship - a woman, for example, or our father or a famous artist. It only needs a friend, brother or neighbour to have such a relationship for us to be filled with envy. Throughout our lives we are tortured by the question of why it should be them and not us. We are a prey to uncertainty from our earliest childhood, continually wondering whether our parents and infant school teachers love us as much as our brothers and sisters or the other children in the class. But at the same time we want to be the only ones to be loved. When someone says that he likes Johnny or that Johnny is intelligent, we feel a pang of jealousy, as if he had said that he likes Johnny better than us or that Johnny is cleverer than we are, even if no comparison was intended. The tension between a desire for a unique and exclusive relationship and one based on identification and similarity never slackens. We would like to be different from everyone else, but at the same time no-one should be different from us or better than us.
Let us move on from these general statements and consider a more concrete situation. Imagine the reactions of the firstborn when a second child arrives. He will spontaneously feel jealousy and hostility towards the new arrival, who disturbs his exclusive relationship with his parents. He is no longer the sole focus of their attention and is obliged to share the love that was previously his alone, and all this in addition to the quasi-sexual envy he feels when his mother breast-feeds the baby. Think too of the earliest fans of a star who becomes increasingly popular. They too will feel only jealousy towards newer ones who steal their idol's affection. In both situations, the firstborn or the fans would like to get rid of the intruders, the spoil-sports, and keep the exclusive affective relationship with the loved one. What do they do? Throw the baby in the dustbin? Machine-gun the other fans? They cannot, for that would mean going against the parents desire to have more than one child or the star's wish to have a host of admirers. Whatever their personal preferences might be, parents have obligations to all their children and stars to all their fans, and neither can single out one for special favours.
So, since they cannot get rid of bothersome rivals and remain in sole possession of their beloved or give free rein to their jealousy and hostility without endangering their own relationships with those they love (who could not tolerate such things), both children and fans are obliged to modify their position. We see a decline in mutual hostility and attachment to former rivals becoming dominant. Conflict becomes coalition. Some give up the idea of privilege and a past exclusivity, others the idea of achieving such things in the future. As a result, the distance created by distrust and hate is reduced and there is universal mutual identification, imitation and repetition, with everyone immersing himself in the same activities and receiving some degree of consolation from the pleasure of these mimetic exercises. As Canetti writes:
Only together can men free themselves from their burdens of distance; and this, precisely, is what happens in a crowd. During the discharge distinctions are thrown off and all feel equal . . . and an immense feeling of relief ensues. It is for the sake of this blessed moment, when no-one is greater or better than another, that people become a crowd. (Canetti, 1973: 19)
They nevertheless continue to keep a close watch on each other to make sure that no-one gets more or special favours.
This discharge is a sign that the amorous attraction has been replaced by mutual identification, which is the best means of cementing relationships within a crowd. This is indicated by the birth of the feeling of a common destiny and a community spirit whose first demand is for justice, for equal treatment for all. We all know how loudly and implacably this claim is put forward at school. If one cannot be the favourite oneself, at all events nobody else shall be the favourite. (Freud: XVIII, 120)
It also becomes apparent in the admirers of idols of the theatre or popular singers.
Originally rivals, they have succeeded in identifying themselves with one another by means of a similar love for the same object. (Freud: XVIII, 120)
Crowds would thus seem to obey a principle of negative democracy or levelling down. If someone else looks as if he may be lucky or may benefit from something, their reaction is Why him? Why them? Why not me? There are always grounds for envy. No-one ever gets everything or exactly what he wants, and so the universal reaction to other peoples desires is always the same. Envy produces rivalry, and equality offers a way out of it, even if it means universal renunciation and general deprivation.
Public-spiritedness and esprit de corps are based on reversals of this kind. We give up hoping for the things we want and abandon our most cherished ambitions in order to oblige everyone to make the same sacrifice. This is often reflected in hypocrisy and fools' bargains. Whether we are happy or unhappy, the main thing is to be together, with no-one's fate being different from that of his fellow-citizens, neighbours or friends. In Freud's words:
This demand for equality is the root of social conscience and the sense of duty. It reveals itself unexpectedly in the syphilitic's dread of infecting other people, which psycho-analysis has taught us to understand. The dread exhibited by these poor wretches corresponds to their violent struggles against the unconscious wish to spread their infection on to other people; for why should they alone be infected and cut off from so much? why not other people as well? (Freud: XVIII, 121)
The pressure to conform becomes so strong and concentrated that the slightest divergence becomes a threat against the group, which sees it as a breach of the unspoken agreement its members have entered into, the spark that could cause a sudden outburst of long-contained hostility. We should remember that constraint is at work. We have surrendered our individuality for the sake of being like our rivals. The rewards for that difficult task of limiting ourselves are justice and equality. And transgression is a challenge that calls its utility into question. That is why they do us some degree of violence, and democracy presupposes a strict inner discipline, for everyone has an ambivalent attitude towards it and is ready to question it. There are still some who, in Orwell's phrase, would like to be more equal than others.
Seen from another angle, the equality operating within the crowd makes it a kind of haven of peace, a place of refuge where people feel that they are among their own kind. Individuals feel a sense of release, as if they had laid aside the burden of social and psychological barriers and discovered that men are equal. Being with other people is like being with oneself. Hence a certain lack of order. The crowd is filled with hundreds of incessant movements like those of particles suspended in a liquid and is perpetually milling and agitated.
In that sense, we can describe masses as libertarian, for their equality encourages anarchy. This positive democracy is powerfully attractive. It is given a new lease of life by every revolution and in every community, and each of them promises its earthly kingdom. What is the psychological driving force behind it? It would see it as lying in the pleasure derived from the mimetic desire to be like one's fellows, one's parents or one's children and the imagined lack of any difference. Usually this desire is not imposed without a struggle. It means that we have to make sacrifices and it causes discord. At this stage, however, we imagine that we can enjoy it without hindrance.
What we are dealing with is an imitative enjoyment rather like sexual pleasure. But there is a difference, for the former means that individuals are almost submerged by the crowd, whereas the latter produces isolated couples. Freud describes this phenomenon thus:
Two people coming together for the purpose of sexual satisfaction, in so far as they seek for solitude, are making a demonstration against the herd instinct, the group feeling. The more they are in love, the more completely they suffice for each other. (Freud: XVIII, 140)
When these two versions of equality are superimposed, the crowd is both a form of extreme constraint upon the human person and an unlimited field of freedom and individualism. Some people withdraw and resist it, keeping themselves aloof. Others, however, throw themselves into it and lead the life they have dreamed of. We are eternally at cross purposes here. There are those who urge a return to the old village community life. But the people in those very same villages are leaving them for the shelter of mass urban anonymity, to get away from the watching eyes of family and neighbours and the jealous tyranny of all those people who wish them well and do them harm.
There is one exception to these two versions: the leader. To put it differently, every group demands that its members should be identical and have the same lifestyle and future. Only one person is excepted. In Freud's words:
Do not let us forget, however, that the demand for equality in a group applies only to its members and not to the leader. All the members must be equal to one another, but they all want to be ruled by one person. Many equals, who can identify themselves with one another, and a single person superior to them all-that is the situation that we find realized in groups which are capable of subsisting. (Freud: XVIII, 121)
Crowds are therefore like solar systems with many planets revolving round a sun, their central point. If we are to describe their movements, however, we need to work out the relationship between love and identification in the same way as we work out that between attraction and repulsion in astronomy.

A shepherd mix dog named Einstein is campaigning to become the next mayor of Oakland, California. The only dog in the running, Einstein joins 20 humans in the race to replace Mayor Jean Quan.
Einstein is no newcomer to political issues. The dog has been attending Occupy Oakland protests for some time now.
Entered into the race by Occupy Oakland, the future mayor hopeful has a Facebook page called "Einstein for Oakland."
His biography on the Facebook page starts off: "My name is Einstein and I am running for mayor of Oakland, California. I like to run. A lot! I mean A LOT! So make no mistake, I can make it all the way to the finish line, and I invite you to join me!"
A victim of Oakland Police brutality, Einstein is against, as the page says "Oakland City officials not doing their job, and police not being prosecuted for beating and killing innocent beautiful creatures like Alan Blueford & Gloria."
Einstein for Oakland writes that while participating in peaceful rallies and marches, along with humans, Einstein has been tear gassed, and a grenade exploded next to him. He has since been diagnosed with canine post-traumatic stress disorder as a consequence of what he has been through.
Included in his impressive campaign is that Einstein wants to make sure the Oakland shelter is a place where animals can expect kindness, care, and placement in a loving home.
Einstein is also campaigning for stronger weapon-control laws. He promises to "put his paw down" and stop the Domain Awareness Center, a "networked surveillance grid recording our every movement around the City, monitoring whether we are leashed and are wearing our City-mandated licenses." Oakland requires that all dogs have a microchip. "I also believe that human rights are not just for humans, all creatures have an expectation of privacy," says Einstein for Oakland.

North Node
in Synastry
When your Jupiter is conjunct your partners' North Node, or vice-versa, an relationship based on mutual generosity and good-will is indicated. The couple is likely to share common philosophical and religious beliefs, which can go a long way in maintaining a long-term relationship. Jupiter may provide the Node person with material wealth, good luck, support, and spiritual guidance. Indeed, this is an ideal aspect in the charts of guru-disciple or teacher-student relationships.

The Detroit Red Wings announced on Tuesday that they have re-signed veteran defenseman Chris Chelios. Financial terms of the one-year deal were not announced.
Chelios, 45, was the league's oldest player last season. He has previously stated that he would like to play until age 51, one year younger than Gordie Howe's record of 52.
Detroit alternate captain Kris Draper praised Chelios for his work ethic and resiliancy.
"The one thing you could say about this year's playoffs is everybody stepped up on the back end with all the injuries we had. And nobody did that better than Cheli. Guys went down and he kept playing more minutes. It's unbelievable what he's able to do."
With Chelios signed, Red Wings' general manager Ken Holland's focus turns to goaltender Dominik Hasek.
Hasek's agent, Rich Winter, told the Canadian media earlier this week that the goalie has made his decision on whether or not to return for another season and will tell the Wings in the next couple days.
wow i am really suprised that they signed him for another one year deal. i would not have been suprised if he would of retired this year. the only other thing that would suprise me with the wings is if hasek decides not to retire and sighns for a couple more years, but i think that is good that chelios has played for so long

30 Things To Do Before You're 30
Nope, we don't mean taking a road trip across America, or, like, finally learning to love yourself (pfft). This is about what you need to do and learn before you hit the big three-oh. Because you are now a grown up and it's time to stop denying it.
1. Stop automatically ordering the cheapest wine on the menu. Go for the second cheapest instead, much classier. Then when a waiter asks you if you want to 'sample' it, say yes, because you are an adult. You can totally fake the sniffing and swilling (don't spit it out though, waiters hates that).
2. Um, Kate Middleton was marrying the heir to the throne by the time she was 30. So… yeah, stop getting off with that idiot, James, who you know to be a idiot, and get cracking with finding your prince. Harry's still mostly available, right?
3. OK, look, you've spent (probably?) the last ten years deciding to get fit. It's time to finally make that leap. It's time to finally do it: Decide you can't be bothered. Give up on getting fit. Just wear tracksuit bottoms all the time instead and people will assume you're a fitness fanatic (or Amanda Bynes). Oh and if it helps, studies say thinking about your muscles can make you stronger. So suck it, MyFitnessPal.
4. Watch all seven series of Buffy the Vampire Slayer again. Realise that Buffy (Sarah Michelle Gellar) is now 36, so it happens to us all. Also, you've forgotten how brilliant it is.
5. Be brave. Ask that friend you've known forever what she does for a living. It'll be OK! She's probably never really understood what you do either.
6. Try wearing double denim. Because it's time to break some rules and figure out your 'look'. And, y'know, maybe it'll actually work on you. At the very least you'll provide some light relief to any passing teenagers.
7. It's time to admit to your mum that the night when you were 15 and you threw up all over Lily the dog was not "because of an out-of-date turkey burger you ate at your friend Harry's house," but, in fact, alcohol related. We're all grown-ups now, right? She can handle the truth. And Lily's long dead, so she's not going to care.
8. Get on top of your correspondence at last, by reading every email in your spam folder. Decide maybe you should get a penis enlargement.
9. Take on a challenge: The Cinnamon Challenge.
10. Learn all the words to Cam'Ron's Hey Ma so you know how to cope with Youths hitting on you in clubs. Realise it's actually quite an offensive song and never bring it up again.
11. You've been thinking about it for years. Just once – one time – write that comment you want to write on Your Most Annoying Friend On Facebook's latest smug photo. "Nobody cares about your feet. Stop posting pictures of them." Passive-aggression is so grown up.
12. Get your zombie apocalypse contingency plan ready. YOU NEVER KNOW. And now you're heading for 30, you're going to be that much slower.
13. Start a 'birthday cards drawer'. Your mum has one, right? It's something every grown up has. Pretty sure.
14. Become suspicious of technology. Get a landline. Start referring to things as "new-fangled".
15. Wait for a windy day, pull a funny face, convince a small child that your expression is stuck like that. As an adult, it's your responsibility to start lying to kids.
16. Tell everyone you're having a mid-life crisis, that you're buying a motorbike, quitting your job, and going off around the world on your own. Do none of these things.
17. Katie Price is currently promoting her FORTY-NINTH BOOK. Think about that for a bit, then finally start writing that book you've 'always had in you'. Or give up on humanity. Either way.
18. Six year olds laugh an average of 300 times a day. Adults only laugh 15 to 100 times a day. So dammit, stop being so happy all the time. What are you, six? Hide your space hopper, steer clear of bouncy castles and avoid ball pits at all costs.
19. Pose like a thumb. It's funny, and it'll be much easier now you are old and have all those chins.
20. Spice things up by booking a night in a hotel under the names Clive Bixby and Juliana. And if that makes no sense to you, spend a night at a hotel watching Modern Family, it's great.
21. Watch The Human Centipede. We're really sorry, you have to, it's a rite of passage and important so you can say you have seen it. Sorry.
22. Time to start being really patronising about youth culture. Find out what twerking is, then use it in conversation with air quotes and a wry smile. Same with YOLO.
23. Get in touch with nature (think Julia Roberts/Eat, Pray, Love) by having a conversation with a dolphin. They can apparently understand a large vocabulary and basic sentence structure. You guys, dolphins are awesome.
24. Enter a Daybreak competition, because Lorraine Kelly is now going to be your favourite celebrity. Plus, how awesome would it be to win a mini van and £20k in cash! *immediately sells mini van*
25. Finally confront your sister about that time she stole your KitKat from the fridge – the one you were specifically saving for later just to annoy her. It's time to put those demons to rest, my friend.
26. Check out what your name is according to Urban Dictionary. There's an alternative and inexplicable meaning for everything and it's great fodder for all those awesome dinner parties you're going to be attending from now on.
27. Now you're such an adult, you can get away with things you couldn't before. Draw a 'tache on a poster! Write a rude word on a toilet door! No-one will believe it's the grown woman wearing double denim.
28. Boys are no longer scary and confusing, it's men that are now scary and confusing. So arm yourself with some facts about the differences between your species. Eg. Did you know that women blink twice as many times as men do? And that we are more sensitive to smell and sounds than them? Isn't that weird?
29. Reach 69 followers on Twitter, just so you can screen grab it and prove you're not losing your stupid sense of humour in your old age.
30. Soon you will be above this kind of thing, so this is your last chance to get something to go viral. You will need: An adorable child or an adorable old person. Or: Your boobs.

Director of Sustainability
As Davidson's first director of sustainability I organize and lead sustainability efforts at the college. I also started my own non-profit, WildSides, which produces human-wildlife conflict documentary and educational media. My project on the Plight of the North Atlantic Right Whale has played in multiple film festivals in 2013 and was awarded Best Conservation Message at the Beneath the Waves Film Festival. I worked for the U.S. EPA's Office of Inspector General in Research Triangle Park evaluating air quality programs, including air toxics monitoring and new source review in coal-fired power plants. I was a vice president and senior analyst at Bank of America working on green building, sustainable purchasing, green cleaning, renewable energym and more. I then designed, implemented, and managed a national sustainable manufacturing initiative for a D.C. nonprofit, the National Council for Advanced Manufacturing. The U.S. Department of Commerce appointed me to the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development's Advisory Expert Group on Sustainable Manufacturing and Eco-Innovation. I earned a master's degree in journalism and mass communication where I worked on the 2011 Powering A Nation team to make the award-winning interactive documentary Coal: A Love Story. I hold the following degrees: B.A. 1999, Psychology, Davidson College. M.E.M. 2003, Resource Economics and Policy, Nicholas School of the Environment and Earth Science, Duke University. M.B.A. 2007, Entrepreneurship and Sustainable Enterprise, Kenan-Flagler Business School, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. M.A. in Journalism and Mass Communication from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
Julia Singley '15
Sustainability Fellow
As the Sustainability Fellow, I support the Director of Sustainability in introducing sustainability-minded strategies into Davidson's operations. While a student at Davidson College, I earned a BA degree in Anthropology and cultivated interests in the triple bottom line and its interface with multimedia and ethnographic storytelling. In my junior spring, I studied abroad with the School for International Training in Bolivia. While abroad I created a documentary film on practical understandings of Vivir Bien, or the good life, in communities in the Amazonian region of the country. Along with other storytelling projects for local nonprofit Circle de Luz and Opportunity Threads, a worker-owned textile cooperative in my hometown. I have also worked in the local food system in various capacities, beginning my sophomore year when two peers and I built the hydroponics system at the Farm at Davidson College. I am excited to join the Office, to continue to learn and grow by introducing and supporting sustainable practices at Davidson.

When the best features of an approach shoe (smooth sticky rubber outsole for optimal edging and scrambling traction) cross-pollinate with the best features of a trailrunner (lightweight design, stable, aggressive tread), the Patagonia Rover ($125) is the result.
This mutant shoe breed is designed for the runner who wants to add rock scrambling and mountainous terrain to her run.
Unfortunately for me, I was unable to test these kicks on the terrain in which they are truly intended because Minnesota lacks mountains higher than 2,301 feet. I could literally run to the top of Eagle Mountain in flip-flops as it's such a nice, smooth trail.
So I had to break up testing in segments: standard trail running and scrambling over the rocks.
The Rover has a nice 4mm drop midsole and a .8 mm forefoot ESS plate to protect feet against rocks and other trail debris.
Since my favorite network of running trails have hills, rough terrain and the occasional felled tree creek crossing, the Rovers were ideal.
The aggressive lugs allowed for stability and good control on descents with loose gravelly rock. The nice wide toe box allowed my piggies to splay comfortably.
One potential downer to keep in mind is the uppers. It's a combination of abrasion resistant mesh and synthetic leather, with seemingly more synthetic leather than mesh. The leather gives the required structure for scrambling but I fear it may contribute to diminished breathability on hot and humid days.
I began running in the Rovers last October so this is not something I can accurately report on at this time. Patagonia did add the Dri-Lex® lining for moisture control so hopefully that will balance things out come July. If you live in a dry climate, this won't be an issue for you.
For sizing, I found that the Rovers run to be right in that sweet spot between medium width and perfection. The variable lacing system accommodates a sizable range of foot widths so the chances of these not working for you, width-wise, are pretty slim.
I experimented with sock thickness and found that the thinner the sock, the better. At least for my normal-width foot. I like the Darn Tough Vermont No-Show ultralight ($14).
If you have a classic narrow foot, you can go with a thicker sock. Like the Darn Tough Vermont Daphne ¼ sock ($17). It's a classic hiking sock made with fine Merino wool but, because it cushioned and breathable, it also works well as a thicker running sock.
You can also consider the Patgonia EVERlongs ($110) if you can't see yourself combining a hiking sock with a running shoe.
Rock Scrambling
Before I go into this part, I have to be clear about something. These are NOT the shoes to wear if your plan is to run up to the base of the Half Dome and scale its bare face without changing shoes. In fact using the Rovers in place of proper rock climbing shoes is a bad idea (but would be fun to watch in a YouTube compilation video of silly self-inflicted injuries that could have been avoided!).
I tested them for their rock scrambling capability at arguably the best scrambling location in the Midwest: the rocky gorge of Gooseberry Falls on Lake Superior's North Shore.
Wrought with lumpy beds of ancient lava, loose boulders and wet, wave-splashed low-angle slabs, the wrong outsole would have sent me plunging into the gorge of the Gooseberry River and over the falls into the frigid depths Lake Superior.
I remained safe and dry this particular weekend because the Rover's stiff rubber made for confident edging where necessary and the aggressive trail running tread was grippy over rocks both dry and wet.
I like the Patagonia Rovers because it's a multi-faceted multi-sport shoe for the runner who is at the level of the Hardrock 100, aspires to be at that level, or merely wants to run over mountainous terrain with a stable, confident, comfortable shoe.

This review and recommendation is about Loveless. It is written by Yun Kouga. It is an ongoing series. It is released by TokyoPop. It has an anime based on it.
It's about a boy named Ritska. He becomes friends with a girl named Yuki on his first day at a new school. He meets a man named Soubi who knew his older brother, Seimei. All Ritska has wanted since his brother died was his brother alive and his memory back. After meeting Soubi, he finds his brothers will and gets Soubi as his fighter unit. Later, Ritska gets involved in the fights as the sacrifice. From his brothers will he learns that he was killed by a group called Septiminal Moon. Though later, he hears rumors that Seimei is still alive. He becomes closer to Soubi during this time. Is his brother still alive? How close to Soubi and Ritska get? You'll have to read and find out.
Loveless is a shonen-ai. A really great one at that. It's dramatic, a little funny, and a little realistic. If you haven't already read it, you should. It should be read by Teens and older.
If you live in the Colorado Springs area, you can find a copy at PPLD. Happy Reading!

If everybody smoked a blunt, relieve the mind
The world could be a better place
If everybody took a break
And we all just got wasted float out

Pull another O
(Out, out, out)
Let's get P O D ded

20 dollar hollars, all day, everyday
Come around my way, we gone want to stay
Weed makes me hungry, happy and all I can say
Sure I need some more
Don't make me wait, stay awake, fake sleep
Got the weed between the sheets catch me
Mary Jane bless me, open up the dime, stimulate your mind
Slide my thumb up the blunt, open up to what you find in marijuana
I've never been in high times
(Lovin' them high times)
I never been in high times
(But could you tell me)
Am I high enough
(Am I high enough)

(Am I high enough)
I remember being a little thug
Weed, really didn't know what it was
Then I took a puff and I realized

(The weed, alright)
If you feel like I feel, I got half on your dime
If you got weed smoke it, I'm a real weed smoker
If it's mine then I would since its yours you could, you should
If I ain't there when you blaze a blunt nigga huh, please think of me

High, high, all night, high, high, so high
Oh my, oh my, oh my, oh my, my, my, my

Bangin' and ringin' inside my head
I wanted to make love to you baby but last night I got P O Ded instead
So baby don't go away, all I got to say is I gotta have you Mary J
Such a heavenly feelin' I get when I'm taking fat ass blunts to the brain
Oh darlin', I'm going insane and I wish we really can
Kick it at home in America, like it was on in Amsterdam
You heard that I'm, you heard I'm, nothin' but a realer thug nigga
Nothin' less than a killa, I might if I'm makin' a scrilla
I never knew no one as live as the bone that kick as strong as me
Be rippin' the bong like me, can hit it as long as me
When I need to free my mind I can find, satisfaction in a bag of weed
Everything I need, leave it to the trees
It can make me feel better and everyday I wake we
Be rollin' up blunts and mo blunts and mo blunts
And I keep a case of swiss ha sweets in the trunk
So when I'm rollin', smokin', chokin', just floatin'
Through the city in the drop top, glock cocked, rollin', just rollin'
Me and Mary Jane that's my world, that's my thang
The way she penetrates my brain
Buddha, done blessed me with game
Good game, you wanna chop it up
We can kick it, smoke a patty to the dome
Nigga lay high, thugged out, smokin', all, night, long
The weed can't get no better
(No better baby)
The weed can't get no better
(No better baby)
The weed can't get no better
(No better baby)

Constant Convocation Center (map it)
4320 Hampton Blvd
Norfolk, VA 23529
Constant Convocation Center website
Year Opened: 2002
Capacity: 8,639
There are no tickets available at this time.
Official Review by Jason Bullock, Stadium Journey Regional Correspondent
If you find yourself in the Hampton Roads area of Virginia and are looking for a fun night out for the family, chances are there is an event at the Ted Constant Convocation Center in Norfolk that will fit the bill. Opened in 2002 at a cost of $47 million, the Constant Center plays host to the men and women's basketball teams at Old Dominion University, as well as the wrestling program. That's not all, however; on any given night, you could find a concert by contemporary bands or solo artists, the Harlem Globetrotters or a variety of Disney programs.
2013 was the first season the Monarchs played in Conference USA. Most recently a member of the CAA, they have made 14 trips to the NCAA tournament - the last one in 2011, where they lost to eventual national runner-up Butler. Notable alumni that played in the NBA include Mark West, Kenny Gattison and Chris Gatling, a 1997 All-Star as a Dallas Maverick.
The FANFARE scale is our metric device for rating each stadium experience. It covers the following:
Each area is rated from 0 to 5 stars with 5 being the best. The overall composite score is the "FANFARE Score".
The home of the Monarchs has quite a few great food options. There are four different concession stands, each located in a corner of the arena. Take some time to take a spin around the concourse before making your choice, as you will find something for everyone. There are two stands that are similar, as they offer pizza for $4-$5 a slice, hot dogs and chicken tenders. I tried the pizza; however, I was not a big fan of it, even though the vendor is a local small chain and many fans seemed to be enjoying it. You will find another stand that has a good variety of hamburgers (beef and veggie), chicken sandwiches and Philly cheesesteak for $5-$7. They also offer combo options to include fries and a drink for about $7 more, saving you a little bit of cash. My favorite stand is behind section 115, and they have the best deal in the building - barbecue nachos that come with a generous helping of chips topped with pulled pork, cheese sauce, sour cream, lettuce and jalapenos. This is a meal in itself for $6! They also serve nacho waffle fries and barbecue sandwiches, among other things, so if you are looking for something a little different, don't miss this stand.
Pepsi products are served fountain-style at $5 for a large and $4 for a regular. If you have room for dessert, there are some options here. Funnel cake fries are $5 ($3 as an add-on if the rest of your food comes to $8 or more), and you will find a cotton candy vendor in the hallways of the concourse. All of the main concession stands take credit cards, but if you find yourself short on cash, there is a bank of ATMs located behind section 102.
The outside architecture of the Convocation Center is eye-catching. It definitely brightens up the area and is a complement to the surrounding campus. Once inside, the interior continues to impress, with a well lit main level that showcases the history of athletics at ODU. You will find an open concourse with section numbers clearly marked so you can find your seat easily. If you need assistance, there are ushers in Monarch blue shirts that will help out. All seats are padded fold-down style and are pretty comfortable. The arena holds a little less than 9,000 fans, so anywhere you sit, you are going to have a good view of the action on the court. Section 111 will get you behind the home team bench, and the team enters and leaves the court between 109 and 110. Section 104 will give you a good look at the center-court logo with the benches on the opposite side. Above the lower seating bowl, you will find the club level and suites. Club level tickets are available for purchase and the suites can be rented out for individual games.
There is a four-sided scoreboard that hangs from center court and it provides all of the pertinent game information. There is also a live/replay video screen on each side that is helpful, but it is surprisingly not a high-definition display. As nice as the rest of the arena is, it takes a little bit away from the atmosphere. You will also find a smaller scoreboard in each end of the arena with the game basics displayed.
Looking to be entertained during time-outs? You will see a lot of the cheerleaders and dance team, along with a ton of t-shirts being thrown out in the stands. There are a few promotions during the game, but I enjoyed the fact that not every time-out was being sponsored by a local business. The PA system in the arena is good, and the announcer does a good job of keeping the crowd informed. The pep band sits in the student section and plays at appropriate times during the game, but they are barely audible on the other end of the arena. Big Blue, the Monarch's mascot, can be seen throughout the arena during the game interacting with the kids and posing multiple times for photo opportunities.
ODU is located in the northern part of Norfolk, Virginia, and other than attending the basketball game and taking a walk around campus, I did not find anything really interesting to do within walking distance. If you are coming from out of town, there is a SpringHill Suites by Marriott on Hampton Boulevard right next to the Convocation Center, and would be a perfect place to stay if that is all you are in town to do.
While there is not much in the immediate area, there is plenty of history in the Hampton Roads area to visit, including Colonial Williamsburg and Yorktown, about an hour away. If you're on an extended visit to the area, these are great places to visit for the entire family.
The fans who were at the game I most recently attended are passionate about their team. However, the Monarchs were playing to a half full arena, which was not what I was expecting, based on the support I witnessed for their football program. It appears with the entrance into Conference USA, the Monarchs' attendance has dropped to 5,500-6,500 a game, which could be the result of lack of familiar competition and in-state games. Also absent is a vocal student cheering section. Sections 101 and 115-16 are set aside for students, and those sections were half-full and quiet when I visited.
Fans at the game I attended were there from beginning to end and were very vocal, as they cheered the home team to a hard earned victory. I just don't get the feel that the support and the home crowd advantage is the same here as it is for other programs.
The Convocation Center is located on the southeast side of campus in Norfolk. There are two large parking garages that serve the arena, one on 43rd Street and the other at 45th right off of Hampton Boulevard. Parking is free, but beware that the lower levels of the garage are for permit holders, so plan on being directed by one of the many attendants to keep going up if you don't have a permit. Your tickets are scanned in as you enter the arena and the lines move quickly. Once inside, you will find yourself on the lower level of the arena. The ODU Athletic Hall of Fame is located here, which contains a lot of great information and mementos of the history of the school. On the far right side, you will find the three women's basketball NCAA championship trophies proudly displayed.
You will need to take the elevator or stairs to the upper level to get to your seats. The majority of the seats (except for club level) are located below the concourse area, and you can see the action on the court when you are in line at the snack bar. The concourse is wide and never seems overcrowded, and you will find restrooms located in each corner of the main concourse that are sufficient for the typical crowd size. Diaper changing stations are located in each restroom for those with little ones.
A typical seat to a Monarchs home game will cost $15, if you buy it at the box office. You can purchase them online, but an array of fees will bring a single ticket to almost $25. Unless there is a specific section or seat you want to sit in, you are pretty safe waiting until game day to purchase your ticket. Club seats are available for a higher price, but if you are on a budget, you won't be disappointed with any of the seats in the arena.
Potential fees aside, combine the ticket price with an overall good value and variety in food and the free parking and a night at the Convocation Center is a great value.
Get to the arena a little early and spend some time in the Hall of Fame. If you're a lifelong ODU fan, it will bring back some memories.
If you have a chance to catch the Monarchs at home, don't pass it up. The Ted Constant Convocation Center is a quality arena in which to see a game, and you will definitely get your money's worth.

Member Review by jharver
For better and worse, Norfolk is a middle-tier sports mecca.
Having struck out in efforts to lure professional franchises to the area, local fans are still entertained year-round by their minor league baseball and hockey teams "" the Triple-A Norfolk Tides and the AHL's Norfolk Admirals, respectively. In the ever-shuffling world of semi-pro sports, those two teams have been rooted in the area for decades, enjoying top billing (and good crowds) as the biggest fish in a smallish pond.
But would that support extend to the local small-conference college basketball team, two days before Christmas, against a smaller-conference opponent?
Believe it. The Ted Constant Convocation Center, which opened in 2002 as a multi-purpose facility for everything from local high school graduations to concerts, seems a bit overdone for small-school basketball at first glance.
Then, as with the Tides and Admirals, the fans start filing in.
Member Review by roundpizza on Jul 30, 2012
No bad seats, but the food is average and overpriced. The video board is a bit outdated as well but still above average. Otherwise, the arena is beautiful and well maintained, and is one of the best for basketball.

Made this last night for dinner. It was OK, but that's about it. I took 4 or 5 bites and threw the rest in the trash and had a bowl of cereal for dinner. Hubby at least finished his, but agreed that it's just OK.
We really liked this recipe added red pepper flacks for a little zing. Egg drop soup on the side with unsalted stock.
I made this with pork. I didn't have the peppers and onions. Simple ingredients.
This was really good.

Medal of Honor: Warfighter Review
publisher: EA
developer: Danger Close
genre: Action
|ESRB rating: RP
release date: Oct 23, 12
|» All About Medal of Honor: Warfighter on ActionTrip
Uros "Vader" Pavlovic
You can tell it's the fall can you? Golden, dry leaves everywhere, it's getting colder by the minute and we're getting more and more rain by the day. Of course, the market being flooded by numerous first-person shooters is yet another unmistaken sign. EA's much-touted big-budget title, Medal of Honor: Warfighter has hit stores for all major platforms and we've spent the last several days digging into its single-player and multiplayer treats.
In MoH: Warfighter, players head out on a mission with a group of colorfully named U.S. Navy SEALs - Mother, Preacher and Voodoo (not that colorful as a matter of fact); who are all characters from the previous installment. The goal of the first mission is to interfere with a black market arms deal, although as soon as our heroes reach their destination the mission goes awry and they were forced to escape. After a debriefing you are sent immediately to Somalia to accompany U.S. Marines as they try to end piracy operations in the area.
He's thinking: "Why the hell am I in this game?"
Love choppers. Just love 'em.
The story is linear, as expected, and it unfolds quickly. To be honest, the story won't make much sense to a lot of people. This is yet another game where we are thrown into a typical warzone of all of the world's most popular hot spots such as Yemen, Somalia, Pakistan and so on.
Gameplay wise, it's likely that you're heading straight into familiar territory. The single-player campaign is linear, offering a standard on-the-rails type of shooter experience we've all seen countless times before. In a nutshell, restricted movement and dashing through hordes of baddies, with a relatively predictable storyline, is what you can expect. This would've been a cool ride if the developers added at least something unique to the experience - be it an intriguing plot, cool characters or a few interesting additions to the FPS formula. Sadly, MoH: Warfighter's mechanics feel way too familiar and, to top it off, it seems to be riddled with bugs. We've seen a nasty issue in the sniper mission at the beginning of the game. Right in the middle of the mission, the aiming system gets all screwed up and you can't hit the last two targets for some reason. As we understand it, a few issues have been fixed with the initial patch (still not 100% sure about that), according to some reports a lot of the bugs weren't ironed out.
At any rate, visual glitches remain throughout gameplay, with the framerate slowing down considerably during certain cut-scenes and even some flickering and other weird issues like enemies spawning out of the sky and so on.
The multiplayer, on the other hand, is actually a huge step forward from the previous Medal of Honor title. For instance, one of the most appealing additions to the multiplayer is the new-fangled Fire Team mode, which represents an interesting combination of co-op elements and standard competitive matches. Players are offered a chance to select one of the following classes: assaulter, spec ops, point man, sniper, demolitions and heavy gunner. Classes are distinguished by their abilities and support actions (kill streaks). It's a fairly simple game. Two-man Fireteams are formed and each team has a player who has the ability to rearm or heal a teammate. This straightforward system is extremely cool, as it encourages gamers to cooperate during matches.
There is also solid range of weapons on offer. In that respect, there are a few cool features such as being able to utilize different magnified scopes on a single weapon, preparing for either close-ranged or long-ranged combat. Additionally, you might enjoy the game's frantic vehicle segments, but in all honesty, there really isn't more to the game than these facets.
4.3 Tolerable
Moments of fun are sporadic, pretty engaging multiplayer mode that certainly feels way better than in the previous MoH game;
Buggy, damn-near terminally dull story, linear campaign, gameplay has nothing to draw you in.

Photos and Pixies
By smg on Mar 03, 2009
An interesting thing is happening (again).
Having a large parade is one thing, recording it in as many ways as
one can imagine is another. I still recall the days when RTE would
have just the odd few fixed cameras watching the Dublin parade and
some sprinkling of others around the country. It didn't make for
pleasurable viewing, the weather not permitting either.
Come to thises modern days and what have ye ? These folks today with
their DSLR technological marvels, while still below par compared to
some cameras (lomo for instance) with cross processing methods. They
do however outnumber the fabled self-wind variety. They do converge
on public events. And they do take decent photos (me being one of them).
One such event soon to happen is the annual St. Patrick's Day Parade in
Dublin. With the help of pix.ie these would
be (and those that are) will be descending upon the parade armed with their
mix of plastic, steel and finely crafted glass pieces.
I for one look forward to the results.
The competition helps too I suspect.

In a time that seems hotels are coming up with new ways to make more money from guests, one property has decided to make movie watching free in your room. Hard Rock Hotel Palm Springs (HRHPS) announced today, June 30, 2014, the roll-out of a new, consumer-friendly in-room entertainment that includes complimentary Nexus Tablets and Google Chromecast that let guests stream movies and television shows without additional hotel fees.
"We're excited to be one of the first hotels to offer this modern technology to guests," said Andy Carpiac, majority owner of the Hard Rock Hotel Palm Springs. "With today's streaming options, paying $15.99 to watch a movie in your room seems antiquated and unfair. A more consumer-friendly approach makes sense and the Google system we provide for free is one of the best and most user-friendly options available. We think guests are going to really appreciate the innovative new approach."
The new systems include a bedside tablet that syncs to the room's 42-inch flat screen television. By logging in to subscription based services such as Netflix, guests can stream viewing content to their room's TV for free. The new entertainment systems are already installed in the majority of pool view rooms and suites, with complete roll-out anticipated by the end July.
"The City of Palm Springs is thrilled that the Hard Rock Hotel is utilizing this technology to offer visitors this consumer-friendly way to watch content in their hotel rooms," said Mayor Steve Pougnet. "I commend Andy and his team for bringing this forward thinking entertainment option to the Hard Rock Hotel and to Palm Springs and I would not be surprised if other hotel chains followed suit because it just makes good business sense and it's great for our visitors."
The relatively new music-centric hotel is one of the hottest spots for the young and trendy who like to party hardy. It has 163 rooms and sits in the center of downtown Palm Springs, California. Hard Rock Hotel Palm Springs is owned by Kittridge Hotels & Resorts, LLC. For more information visit www.HRHPalmSprings.com.

The one thing I noticed at nude beaches in Russia, France and Spain is that there were so many families there compared to ones in Florida etc. It was not at all uncommon to see Mom, Dad and their sons and daughters all enjoying the day together. It makes for a nice family atmosphere.
If you enjoy the free pictures we post here then I urge you to visit Pure Nudism. These samples are much smaller than what their members enjoy. They have very high quality photos and also videos and DVDs.

Hi, I started on a early age with CB dx-ing.Main interest in this hobby is contesting while playing with monoband antennes.
Visit www.pi4dx.com to get the right impression. The PI4DX station is very close to my house where I live today.
In the begin of my radio time I was very active with the group PI4COM. (check www.pi4com.nl)
The last years I am only supporting the boys of PI4DX Hobby time is hard to find.
A small part of the hobby is sharing our special hamradio items which we sell, like automatic antenna tuners and power meters.
Just check our website. http://www.stockcorner.nl
I did nice DX trips to HB0 and was active as 9G5BQ in Ghana. After 5 visits the 9G5BQ calls stopped. I traveled also a bit to VE5, VE6 & VE7,W, ON, F, DL, G ,OE, HB0, HB, SV,OZ, A41, S21, CN, LX , SM, TA, VR2 and I am always searching for the antenna farms but I was not active fromall theseplaces....
I own the PA7DX call from Januari 2013. I played on the HAM HF bands from 1993. I lived for 28 yaers in Rotterdam and now in a very small village. I am active from 1993 untill now and I still enjoy the hobby.My job is a service area manager by a global Communication and Security compagny.
>>>> Every QSL is answered via buro or direct with SASE <<<<<< I do not use EQSL anymore.
Regards and 73 tu TEST
Main picture : My QSL card since 2013
1 : Total antenna setup at contest location PI4DX jan 2012
2 : 5 element wide space 20 meter beam on a 12 meter boom, Tower is 24 meter high at contest location PI4COM.
3 : Our family dog !
Heredown a long time ago in 1996 I had a GAP Titan DX vertical antenna for 3,5 Mhz - 28 Mhz. The space was limited but I worked JA on 80 meters. (My parents at that time were not so happy........) Below the GAP there was a small 16 element UHF vertical beam
Heredown before the GAP I had a tiny triband Fritzel FB-13 dipole. This is arround 1994
Back in 1994 I collected some radio units: My budget was very limited at that time. I wish I had never sold my Kenwood Custom Special 599 line. Later on I also bought a Kenwood TS-430 line. You can also see the Yaesu FC-902 tuner and some small toys.
Heredown my hobbyroom back in 1997. Kenwood TS-700,TS-850,SW-2100,MC-80, Dentron GLA-1000, AEA PK-232, PK-88 Yaesu FT-2700
In the days of 1992 my QSO's started on VHF/UHF. Some old Kenwood TR-7400A was founded and I studied a lot for the CW exam wich I passed in 1993. On the picture below you can see my ZX-Spectrum computer wich I used for receiving Fax pictures on 137Khz. On this 137 Khz in those days all the weather cards were transmitted. I build my own receiver for that frequency with help of my friend. So funny, I did learn a lot aboutelectronics.On the picture you can also see the analoge PABX modem (under the small monitor) wich I used to send my messages to the BBS systems to the world. (before email) . The 2 big black units are 5,25 inch floppy drives for my ZX-spectrum. All kind of converters to let it run. I upgraded from Commodore 64 to Amiga. After that to DOS wich you can see on the pictures. Amazing how far Amiga was in those days. After DOS I upgraded to all the Windows versions during the years. But I still doubt to switch completely to Apple today. In my opinion DOS was the most stabel operation system ever made. (Yes Linux is also great)
Vintage from 1998 : Heredown on the location of PI4COM my contest setup : Kenwood TS-850SAT, CT from K1EA with a PA0ZH homebrew AMP with a 3-750Z tube. The big PI4COM box is the HV-supply for the AMP

School History
Danes Hill House
The history of Danes Hill is an interesting one, reflecting as it does many of the social and economic changes in British life during its time as a private house, and important educational changes as a school.
The major impetus for the construction of the house was the opening of the railway line through Oxshott in 1884. The line came to Oxshott because Queen Victoria did not want it to pass too near to the royal residence at Claremont – which also accounts for Esher station being so far from the centre of Esher, and Cobham station being more than a mile from Cobham.
The exact date of Danes Hill's building is the subject of some debate, but the first documented evidence of its existence comes in the 1891 census, where seven servants and their children were recorded as living here. In 1892, Arthur Edgell Eastwood, proprietor of a cement company, listed Danes Hill as his residence in the Electoral Register.
In 1901 it was bought by R J Lambert, a member of the tobacco family of Drury Lane. Under his ownership, Danes Hill enjoyed the typical Upper Class lifestyle of the high Edwardian era; servants, butlers, local cricket and football matches with the village and neighbouring estates (the largest of which was Bevendean), and land bequeathed for the building of the local church, sporting facilities and Working Men's Club. The estate stretched for 67 acres, and included a model farm, several cottages, arable land, pasture, an orchard and a kitchen garden.
So it continued, passing through several owners and decreasing gradually in size, until in 1938 47 acres were bought by the Crown Estate Commissioners on behalf of the Crown. During the war years, 1939-45, the house was taken over by Borax Consolidated Ltd, presumably as a base for evacuated employees, and, according to local tradition, Canadian troops were also based here in the build-up to the D-Day landings.
The changed economic climate of post-war Britain, the need for servants to maintain it and, no doubt, the hammering it took during the war, meant that after 1945, Danes Hill's days as a private residence were numbered.
Danes Hill School
As with the building of Danes Hill, its transition from private house to school is poorly documented, but we know that it opened its doors for business as a school in 1947 with 16 pupils, and in 1948 it was being advertised as a boarding and day preparatory school with J Hendy-Morton and T J Powell-Shehan as principals. In 1951, F R H 'Billy' Bevan had joined Hendy-Morton as principal and in 1952 the first scholarships to public schools had been won, with the school roll expanded to 61 boys. By 1954, Bevan had been joined by J F 'Jack' Beckett as joint principal; fees in that year being 58 guineas a term for boarders and £28.17.6d for day boys. Messrs Bevan and Beckett continued their successful partnership until 1967, during which time Danes Hill's local reputation was established.
In 1969, Danes Hill was bought by the triumvirate of Graham Hill, Michael Bolan and J E Todd, and it was during this time that Danes Hill's expansion and educational changes really came on apace. A major step was taken in 1975 when boarding was abandoned, and in the following year the school acquired the lease for Wren's Hill and the Ridgeway on which much needed new playing fields were constructed. From 1980 onwards, the school took boys from the age of 4, and the Lower School was able to flourish with the construction of its own purpose-built and self-contained classroom block.
A major change in the history of the school came in 1982 with the purchase of the former Bevendean School in Steel's Lane which became the new pre-prep school. With this came the decision to become fully co-educational, at first to 11 and then right through to 13. This bold step led to even greater expansion, and in 1984 Danes Hill was acquired by the Davies Educational Trust, subsequently the The Vernon Educational Trust. Robert Hadman was appointed headmaster at this time, and under his stewardship the quality of facilities improved greatly, most notably with the construction of the Year 2 'Rookery' teaching block.
In 1989 Robin Parfitt was appointed headmaster and the school continued to expand and flourish. During his tenure there were many changes, including new classroom and dining facilities on both sites. The Ark was opened in 1994 and the Pitblado Centre, accommodating Science and ICT, was opened in 1998. The school celebrated its Golden Jubilee in 1997 and the adventure playground at the Main School was presented by the FODH to mark this event. The Link Building was opened in 2002, and the astroturf was added in 2003. Robin Parfitt's untimely death in August 2006 was a great shock for the school community: in the course of his 17 years as headmaster the school had doubled in size to over 850 pupils, and it was now firmly established as one of the leading preparatory schools in the country.
Willie Murdock was appointed Acting Headmaster in April 2006 and Headmaster in January 2007, and there has been no let-up in the school's development programme. The opening in September 2007 of a wonderful new Reception and Year 1 classroom block has transformed the facilities at Bevendean and the original Bevendean building has been redeveloped. The establishment of an outdoor classroom on the Bevendean site with incubation facilities has proved to be a valuable addition.
A new 25 acre site of pasture land and a wood with a pond known as the Paddock is being enjoyed by our Early Years children. It is a beautiful oasis, rich in flora and fauna which provides the perfect environment for our children to explore the world around them - in all weathers!
"Robins", the Art and Design building on the Main School site, named after Robin Parfitt, was opened in May 2009. This provides two additional Art rooms, two Design Technology rooms and eight general classrooms. In November 2009, the Stable performing arts block was completed, adding new music practice rooms and a state-of-the-art theatre with dance facilities.
The rebuilding of Ravens for Years 4 and 5 and the development of a new Dining Hall was finished in 2015 and Years 2 and 3 are enjoying the spacious Wrens block situated next to the car park.
The development of a sports complex will be the biggest project undertaken by the school since the completion of the Ark in 1994. It is proposed that it includes an integral swimming pool as well as a sports hall, gym, indoor and outdoor changing and toilet facilities, ideally located on the site of the existing outdoor swimming pool. Together with the completion of the 5 football/Rugby pitches, 2 cricket squares and a full size all-weather surface hockey pitch, the children will have facilities to be envied. A planning application for the Sports Centre has been submitted and we hope for a favourable outsome in the very near future.
Exciting times lie ahead as we strive to provide our children with only the most excellent of facilities and resources to enable them to get the very best education and life experience from their time at Danes Hill.
With thanks to Francis Hansom

text: They raised our rates for combined phone/internet/basic cable to $140. I think we are going to cancel everything but the internet. How am I gonig to adjust to this? I love certain shows but we never watch them live and always DVR them and watch them when we get the time. Not all of them are online either. I know it's silly but I'm bummed out. How long will it take for me to adjust? I know I can still watch live local TV with our rabbit ears but man I'm going to miss the DVR and the movies on the weekends.

Nitrate is the form commonly found in water, often in areas where nitrogen-based fertilizers are used. Vegetables, food, and meat are the major sources of nitrate exposure. The greatest use of nitrates is as a fertilizer. Nitrate and nitrite originate in drinking water from nitrate-containing fertilizers, sewage and septic tanks, and decaying natural material such as animal waste. Nitrate is very soluble in water, can easily migrate, and does not bind to soils. Nitrates/nitrites are likely to remain in water until consumed by plants or other organisms.
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) set levels of 10 mg/L for total nitrate and nitrite, 10 mg/L nitrate, and 1 mg/L nitrite as drinking water standards. Infants under the age of 6 months who drink water containing more than 1 mg/L nitrite, or 10 mg/L nitrate, could become seriously ill and, if untreated, may die. In the body, nitrate converts to nitrite. Nitrite interferes with the oxygen-carrying capacity of blood. Symptoms, such as shortness of breath and blueness of the skin, can occur rapidly over a period of days.
Exposure and Risk
The risks of excessive levels of nitrates apply to infants:
- long-term: Researchers continue to explore if there are associations with long-term exposures to nitrates, including adverse reproductive effects and some cancers. The studies are not conclusive at this time, and health standards are focused on protecting infants.
- short-term: Excessive levels of nitrate in drinking water have caused serious illness and sometimes death. The serious illness in infants is due to the conversion of nitrate to nitrite by the body, which can interfere with the oxygen-carrying capacity of the child's blood. This can be an acute condition in which health deteriorates rapidly over a period of days. Symptoms include shortness of breath and blueness of the skin.
Reduce Your Risk
Nitrate is monitored once a year during the quarter that previously had the highest nitrate result. If a water system's samples are less than 0.5 mg/L nitrite, the state specifies the frequency of additional monitoring. Initially, a water system samples quarterly for at least a year. The following treatment methods have been approved by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for removing nitrates/nitrites:
- electrodialysis.
- ion exchange,
- reverse osmosis, and
If the levels of nitrates/nitrites exceed their Maximum Contaminant Levels, the system must notify the public via newspapers, radio, TV, and other means. Additional actions, such as providing alternative drinking water supplies, may be required to prevent serious risks to public health.

On my laptop I have a 250gb hd that's separated up in 2 drives:
C: which is 64gb D: which is the rest.
I'm logging on my laptop as a domain user which is administrator on the laptop. However, when I want to save files through my browser on the D: drive i always receive an access denied. Same thing when I want to attach a vhd in hyper v that's on the D: drive. Also access denied. However no problems at all when using the C: drives.
So there is something weird going on, on that D: drive. Because I can move files to the D: drive using explorer just fine.
Any recommendations as what to do to make it use the exact same permissions as on the C: drive... This behavior was not present in Win7 or Vista and is something new to win2008 r2.
Thank you in advance.
