Question & Answers
Can't jump into pool in Candle Room
I've tried several times. I can see the pool but can't jump into it. I think if I read correctly this is the pool where you find draculaura. Please help, been trying for weeks now. Where do you jump from?
Answer from: 1dgurl4eva
You just jump in the pool and swim until you see a person that looks like Draculaura on a ledge. Jump on the ledge and you will find her
Answer from: CR
I can't seem to jump into that pool where she is though. I'm standing on the ledge on top where clawdeens teleport is and that is as far as we go. Just can't figure out how to jump into it below. :(
Answer from: Gigi
You can't find Draculaura because she is found in the palace candel room

Warner Bros. Pictures has released seven brand new clips for GANGSTER SQUAD to ComingSoon.net, directed by Ruben Fleischer and starring Josh Brolin, Ryan Gosling, Nick Nolte, Robert Patrick, Michael Peña, Giovanni Ribisi, Anthony Mackie, Emma Stone and Sean Penn. The film is set to open in theaters on January 11. Check them all out below!
Los Angeles, 1949. Ruthless, Brooklyn-born mob king Mickey Cohen (Sean Penn) runs the show in this town, reaping the ill-gotten gains from the drugs, the guns, the prostitutes and--if he has his way--every wire bet placed west of Chicago. And he does it all with the protection of not only his own paid goons, but also the police and the politicians who are under his control. It's enough to intimidate even the bravest, street-hardened cop...except, perhaps, for the small, secret crew of LAPD outsiders led by Sgt. John O'Mara (Josh Brolin) and Jerry Wooters (Ryan Gosling), who come together to try to tear Cohen's world apart. "The Gangster Squad" is a colorful retelling of events surrounding the LAPD's efforts to take back their nascent city from one of the most dangerous mafia bosses of all time.

Party Recap
Who can resist a huge celebration when the first baby reaches that all important milestone of One Year? We were lucky enough to share the big day with two other turing-one-year-old friends and their families. The theme came from the desire to celebrate our little boys in a very classic and festive way. We made sure that each element of the party was a true celebration of our little guys. The park setting, picnic lunch of one-year-old friendly foods, festive hats, usable finger-puppet favors and easy to enjoy donuts all were fun for the birthday boys, as well as the guests. Small details made the big difference and we all were super pleased with the fantastic party.

MILAN — Italy's luxury outlet Fidenza Village has tapped three new managers to strengthen its team and further grow the company.
Giuseppe Servidori joins as new business director at Fidenza Village, one of the nine outlet centers Value Retail operates in Europe. Servidori was previously worldwide managing director at iconic Italian coffee maker firm Bialetti Industries, after holding senior positions at Luxottica and Oakley. Alberto Bartoli, former London-based European sales and marketing director for IMG Fashion, was named marketing director, while Myrianne Gaeta joins Fidenza Village as deputy director of PR and communications. Gaeta was previously worldwide communications director for Valextra and Ducati.
"Our villages are all about creating the best value for our global shoppers and for our brands, and all of our new appointments share our commitment to delivering shopping experiences unrivalled anywhere in the world," said Value Retail chief executive officer Desirée Bollier.

Got to come up with a name for this technique, the stair pump hop perhaps? Been around this sport for a long time, seen barriers hopped and stairs ridden, but not like this without pedaling at CX Natz.
We're so into Cyclocross that we made this special page for it. Also publish a Tumblr about Suffer Faces.
Mark's Green Steel
When our new team kit arrived, Mark V liked it so much, he pranced around like Zoolander. Mark is very particular about how his kit fits and I've got Italian Kitarexia. Nalini didn't send Italian tailors to Hugga HQ to measure us, so they've got the sizing down in how they cut it for the smaller and bigger guys.
I wear a large on my thinnest days and XL when I'm layering for the cold or want a more relaxed fit. Nalini made this kit for us in Castel d'Ario, that's 30km south of Verona with Salinas fabric for the jersey and Lycra Sport for the shorts.
In Nalini
As we told Albabici who distributes Nalini in the US and handles the custom kit orders, we race and ride in all seasons on the road, dirt, and mud. So our kit needs to perform across temperatures and the Manto Dry treatment the Salinas fabric receives wicks very well. Lyrca Sport does the same with muscle support and flexibility for dismounts and remounts (it stays in place). The Nalini Fabric page reads like a buffet menu and that's how custom you can have your kits made, choosing the fabric technology for your riding and racing. For the shorts, we chose a thermotaped TPU gripper, with a microfiber pad.
Nalini sent us their best, we highly recommend their custom team kits, and I'm wearing it here in the Maui sun after the cold rain at the Seattle CX races.
Last CX race of the regular season
The Making Of
On G+, see photos of the Nalini factory, where our kit was made.

Rode hard and put away muddy
After the last cross race of the regular season in Seattle, Mahan brought his bike home, parked it in the hallway, and left it there. He'll deal with it after the holidays. That's where we're at too with the blog, on Xmas eve, and a vacation next.
We wish you and your family well and Happy New Year.
Russie on his way to winning Seattle CX at Enumclaw
As the regular CX season ended in Seattle, I said to Russ, "If you're judging how fast you are by the time it takes you to lap me, then that was the fastest!" I had a lap one mechanical, but still that was impressive. "Well," Russ said…
It starts with good fitness. If you're feeling good, fit and fresh you'll usually have a good race on any course. Enumclaw for me was just one of those days where the pain wasn't registering. When that's out of the way you're just out there riding having fun. And when that's going on you're fully aware, making fast lines happen and 100% checked into the task on hand, the perfect marriage!
Finding speed is simply not riding in the muck. That course wasn't muddy by my standards but I saw a lot of covered bikes. It's easy to get out of rhythm and tossed into bad slow lines. I think that's the case with many of us. When your not suffering you can usually put more into where and how you're putting your power down. A lot of this line selection happens in pre-ride. If you can see it there you can usually see it racing, but not always. In these sort of courses I prefer to go out on my own controlling my own destiny and no, I don't always have this luxury. Often the course, your fitness level or your competitors force you places you don't want to be.
I'll also point to the course design itself. That really was an excellent layout. It reminded me of old school SCX courses at Sea Tac where you're legs hurt after the runs and you had to focus 100% of the time on your lines. No spacing out or drifting! The course was hard and that to me is what CX should be. It demanded of course good fitness but also bike skills, agility and creativity. The on-off punchy style suited me and my strengths. I'm not surprised I did so well, I usually do when I'm enjoying myself.
And he's right, form and fitness are so elusive as you get older, celebrate those times you're in it, as Russie did. For me, this season had no measurable results, except for being out there, finishing every race, and at the end I fit into some fine Italian kit from Nalini. Props to Matt Hill, cause without his encouragement, I'd have ended the season after CrossVegas. He insisted I start AND finish the races.
You bigger guys like me, know what I'm saying about Italian Kitarexia. It was a long season too, with Worlds in January, where I think I had one of my best rides from the back of the starting grid.
Russ is a racer to watch next month in Colorado at CX Natz. He'll have on his World Championship jersey and Hugga cap.
Up next, big miles in Maui and then more dirt in 14.

That's four barriers in a row and not the usual two
Before the start of the race, Matthew Hill says to Richard McClung, "It's like Brown M&Ms, man." 40 seconds later, we were off. Matt told me the rest of the story, about reading the freaking rider at a race, and I'm sharing it here. I clipped the 3rd and 4th barrier a few times, until I got the rhythm right…
Way back when, in a previous life before bike racing, I made my bones in the music business. One of the things I did to pay the bills was work with touring rock bands, at the tail end of the Heavy Metal Hair Band days.
You see a lot of s**t working that side of the scene, and – as you would expect - I've got stories to tell. You can fill in the blanks on most of them, of course. Groupies, drugs, debauchery… you've heard it all before.
That's all just daily distraction type stuff, though.
The stories you don't hear are the ones that aren't nearly as flashy, or vile, or… well, they're the actual nuts & bolts, down-low of what is, ultimately, a business.
Stuff like the legend of the Van Halen M&Ms.
When a band goes on tour, they send out a list of promoter & venue requirements in advance of their arrival. It's called "The Rider", and it's purpose is to make sure that everyone is on the same page, and that the infrastructure is in place to support the band & their production staff at the gig.
Most of the stuff on The Rider is pretty straight forward; "There will be x number of 15 amp electrical sockets placed at y foot intervals evenly surrounding the stage area".
Some Rider requirements can seem pretty bizarre, unless you know the band in question: "Promoter shall provide 6 new pairs of athletic sweat socks in sealed, plastic packaging" (cough – RHCP)
And then there's brilliant.
Van Halen toured with a Rider that looked like a novel written for electrical engineers. When you're hauling 9 trucks worth of production gear to every gig, there's a long list of shit that can go wrong, and if you don't want to see things blow up, trusses fall down, and people get electrocuted, you need to make sure that the "I's" are dotted & the "T's" are crossed.
Which ain't easy.
'Cause lots of the time, people flat-out just don't care.
Or pay attention.
Or something.
People will figure out a way to miss something that really matters, even though you spelled it out in exquisite detail, and it's going to make the evening a nightmare for someone on the crew.
So, what do you do?
If you're Van Halen, in the middle of your book-length Rider, you insert a line requiring that the promoter provide – along with a deli tray, and enough booze to intoxicate a fairly large fraternity – a bowl of M&Ms.
With all the brown M&Ms removed.
Brown M&Ms in the bowl?
No show.
Van Halen still gets full payment.
There's one word for this, and it's brilliant.
If you've heard this story before, odds are it was in the context of "…and then they trashed the green room in a petulant rock star frenzy after finding their obscene demands weren't adhered to."
That completely misses the point.
Brown M&Ms in the bowl?
It's the perfect "Don't give a shit" litmus test.
If they're gonna' miss something this simple - and this obvious – what the hell else are they 'gonna miss, and what are the odds it'll be something important? Brown M&Ms in the bowl? Get out the microscope & check everything 'cause you know they either weren't paying attention, or they just don't care.
So, OK… great.
What the hell does all this have to do with bike racing?
It's pretty simple.
When I show up for a USCF/UCI Cyclocross race, and the first thing I see is a neat group of four barriers proudly taking center stage, it's like a big-ass bowl of g-damned brown M&Ms.
Read the freaking Rider.

Art the osprey could arrive home in NH Tuesday night
Art the osprey could return to his home nest in Bridgewater as early as Tuesday evening.
The osprey migrated south to Brazil for the winter last October, and began his trek back north to New Hampshire last month.
On Monday, Art was nearing New York, and experts suspect the bird will be able to cover the 270 remaining miles of his journey by Tuesday evening.
The Squam Lakes Natural Science Center has tracked the osprey's movements since May 2012.

10 Square NFL Football Office Pool Template and Rules
Learn how to run a 10 square NFL office pool for the NFL playoffs or Super Bowl. Printable 10 square football office pool template, sheets and rule
Office football pools are the most popular form of sports betting. While easy to set up and run, we've included instructions, sheets, and rules below just in case you need them. Most states in the U.S. have clarified their laws regarding this form of entertainment, allowing it as long as 100 percent of the funds in the pool are paid back out to the contestants. We strongly suggest that you check both your local laws and workplace rules before participating in any office pool.
10 Square Football Pool Rules
- Print our 10 square NFL office pool template and write down one of the teams on each side.
- Decide how much to sell each square for, any amount is fine, and sell them all. Players may purchase as many squares as they like.
- As the squares are sold, have players write their names in any square of the "Name" column. All 10 squares must be sold for the pool to guarantee a winner.
- When every square contains a player's name, it's time for the drawing! Write the numbers 0 through 9 on a piece of paper and place them in a hat. As each number is drawn, write it down in the left column beginning at the top and work your way down until all numbers have been drawn.
- At the end of each quarter, add the scores of both teams together. Whoever has the box next to the last number of that sum wins the quarter.
- When the game is over, the winners of each quarter divide the pot amongst themselves four (4) ways and each winner receives 25%.
- Overtime can be treated as an extra quarter and the winners divide the pot five (5) ways and each winner receives 20%. You can also treat overtime as an extension of the fourth quarter and the score at the end of overtime is used to determine the winner. If so, there would be four (4) winners, each receiving 25% of the pot. Either way is fine so long as it's decided before the game begins.
- It's possible for one player to win more than one game and get a larger share of the pot. Each win is a share of the pot!
- An alternative is to play winner take all and only pay out the final score of the Super Bowl.

"We're building a national model of how to get to get universities and community colleges to work together, to create the work force of tomorrow," he said.
RapidTech recently redesigned a paddleboard handle for Hobie.
Paddleboarders were able to try a variety of handles and choose the best, which was then scanned and printed.
Traditional manufacturing methods would have required 12 weeks to go from testing multiple handles to producing a finished design, Tackett said; using 3-D printing, it took a week.
"We allowed Hobie, through the use of technology, to penetrate the commercial sector a lot faster, to give them a competitive advantage," he said.
The handle, and many of the models, prototypes and products at Rapidtech, might begin with a laser scan of an existing object.
That was how the Japanese Zero's rear landing-wheel part was recreated. Engineers first laser scanned damaged parts, using the scans to create a new, intact version.
The scans are translated via computer to instructions, to be sent to the 3-D printer.
Tackett even has a portable scanner.
"I call this my ray gun," Tackett said. "I want a big holster for it."
Both he and Madou compare today's 3-D printing technology to the early days of computers.
"In a way, it's the same revolution scenario as when we went from mainframe computers to the P.C.," Madou said.
Tacket agreed.
"We're right at the very beginning of that explosion," he said.

Wow, this went unnoticed for a while, didn't it? On November 23rd, Google's own GoogleinHK YouTube account posted a video walkthrough of the new Google Voice Search in Cantonese. With only 2100 views, this official Google-authored video did not grab anyone's attention, until someone noticed that it featured over a minute of the clearest Gingerbread user interface video we've seen to date. The greens, the blacks - it's all there. Have a look:
Update #2: the original video was pulled but luckily, I found another copy:
Update #3: another mirror, in case Google takes down our YouTube mirror.
The folks over at XDA-developers have prepared an exclusive treat for all of us who are patiently (and impatiently) awaiting both Gingerbread and the Nexus S. One of their sources managed to get ahold of the upcoming flagship device from Samsung, which, as we all know, runs Gingerbread. He even spilled some beans on the specs:
- ArmV7 CPU
- Open GL ES Supported
- 512 or 328MB Ram (Not 100% known)
- 1GB or 2GB Internal Memory (Not 100% known)
- 800×480 Screen Resolution
- 4″ Screen Size
- SuperAmoled2 – Possibly
- 720P HD Video
Update: There was an update posted over at XDA claiming that the CPU is indeed a dual core Orion Cortex A9 running at 1GHz:
Today, I was looking at the Android Development Tools (ADT) commit history, as I normally do on a Tuesday morning at 3am, and I noticed something that made my heart skip a few beats. But let me back up for a second.
Every Android SDK release is normally accompanied by an ADT release that adds support for the new functionality and fixes existing bugs. ADT, in turn, is an Eclipse plugin, which is essentially a set of developer tools for one of the best free open source editors out there (that's Eclipse), which also happens to be the IDE of choice of Android core developers.
Eric Schmidt, the CEO of Google, was scheduled to appear at the Web 2.0 Summit today, and while some speculated that he might finally announce Gingerbread to the world, I had my doubts about whether he would actually announce the update rather than talking about it on some tangent. Unfortunately, the truth ended up being somewhere in the middle, with Eric only brushing up on a few things and then going off about the general strategy.
Engadget - whose record on these things is usually among the best in the business - seems to have pulled the trigger on one that's pretty obviously fake. Check it out:
The spec sheet reads like a dream phone (which, again, it very well may be):
Cool, right?
It's a wild day for Best Buy Mobile and the Samsung Nexus S, and from the looks of it, it's only going to get wilder.
No, it's not just you - the device on the right-most side of the screenshot above is indeed running Gingerbread (at least judging by the notification bar and its revamped icons), and it is indeed what we've come to know as the Nexus S.
This week promises to be huge for Android - we've been hearing about the Gingerbread SDK possibly coming out on November 11th, and today an Open Handset Alliance team member Alvaro Fuentes Vasquez announced 2 very important details via his twitter account, namely:
Direct translation of the above, according to Google, is:
Prepare your Nexus One (Developer version) for Android OTA update 2.3 (Gingerbread) for the next few days:-D
The Open Handset Alliance (OHA) was announced on the same day Android was revealed to the world a bit over 3 years ago, with the sole purpose of promoting the open and free mobile platform.
If you want to find out all the new goodies Android's newest upcoming OS, codenamed Gingerbread, is going to bring, you may want to ask Satya Komatineni, Sayed Hashimi, and Dave MacLean. These 3 writers are the co-authors of the Pro Android book series, and, thanks to a tip from @brodduncan, we now know they've definitely been playing with Gingerbread, likely for quite a while.
The new 3rd edition of Pro Android, which recently showed up on Amazon, mentions the Gingerbread SDK in its description:
Pro Android 3 shows you how to build real-world and fun mobile applications using the new Android SDK, codename "Gingerbread."
Learn what's new with Gingerbread: improved UI across all Android platforms, integration with WebM, the latest Flash integration techniques, and more
The above confirms our earlier suspicions of user interface improvements that Gingerbread is bound to bring as well as reaffirms the WebM integration that Google promised at Google I/O this year.

Parisian, calf's head!…Parisian, ape's head!
by L'Atrabilaire
Among all the territories stolen by Jacobin France that we think about, we are most interested by those that are Occitan, i.e. from Occitània or Patria Linguæ Occitanæ, the land of the Occitan language. Why this favouritism? Because the speakers of Occitan, perfect modern heretics in a mono-linguistic French Freemasonic Republic held up by the Parisian bourgeoisie, are the greatest linguistic minority in Europe…And also especially because Occitan, although now a clandestine tongue that has undergone relentless persecution for centuries by Popes, Kings and the Republic, was originally the language of warrior musicians/poets who in the manner of punks recounted their vida in their writings. Who were they? The troubadours. Yes, poets AND warriors, two formally united aspects which are now separate, that we struggle to reconcile with our Mesnien lives. This schism can be discerned through observing the bloodless, scrawny and runtish appearance of our most acerbic writers/pamphleteers/polemicists in the style of Will Self or Chris Addison. They are truly highbrow, but not the kind you would bring along to guerrilla games in the ghettos, or a street prowl. If you want to make war with them by your side, your enemies for sure will tan your hide. No, with the troubadours we're dealing with cocky knights, not sausage jockeys…
So, I said it was a union of body and nib. Their nibs in the bodies of domnas [ladies], this was in a time when literary and musical sensibilities, erudition, nobility of blood and soul were always accorded with virility, physical prowess and carnal pleasure. 'C'est le trou-baba / C'est le troubadour / Qui baise la nuit et qui baise le jour / C'est le trou-baba / C'est le troubadour / Qui baise la nuit, le jour / Le troubadour! [It's the trou-baba/It's the troubadour/Who fucks all the night and fucks all the day/ It's the trou-baba/It's the troubadour/Who fucks all the night, all the day/It's the troubadour!]' recalls a bawdy song full of popular wisdom. They were the very first cracker rappers, proud tappers of ass and cuirass while blowing their own horns! And they were no strangers to wanton provocation, like the big Provençal cheese MC Raimbaut d'Aurenga, who said '[I am] the best troubadour since Adam, if anyone doubts this, he ought to challenge me with spear and shield'. Others, such as Bertran de Born, were masters of sirventès, these polemic poems of battle that were satirical, imprecatory, and directly addressed to the enemy, and these earned him a good reputation as a shit-stirrer! And òc [Occitan: Yes], the word 'racaille' [scum] is the Frenchified version of the Occitan word 'racalha' (from the verb 'racar', to vomit)!
Before becoming the precursor to all this gallant court poetry, later called the 'courtly love' (fin'amor in Occitan) genre, the debauched nobleman William IX (Guilhèm de Peitieus (1070 – 1127)), the first known vernacular troubadour/poet in the history of European literature, would batter the wogs from 1101 to 1102 in the first crusade launched by the Frankish knight Godfrey of Bouillon, and revive Greek paganism in the midst of the Middle Ages through his insanely erotic verses. The poems written by 'one of the greatest swindler of ladies' hearts and excellent knight-at-arms' recounted his vida [i.e. life], notably talking about war and his libidinous exploits. In 'Ben vuelh que sapchon li pluzor' if we listen to him, it's he who has the most 'impressive presence'!:
Qu'ieu ai a nom 'maistre certa' / For I bear the name of 'infallible master':
Ja m'amig'anueg no m'aura / never will my mistress have me for one night
Que no-m vuelh'aver l'endema! / and not wish to have me the next day!
Qu'ieu suy d'aquest mestier, so-m va, / Because in this trade I am (and I freely say it)
Tan ensenhatz / so expert
Que be-n sai gazanhar mon pa / that I can earn my living
En totz mercatz / in every market.
In the canso 'Companho, farai un vers qu'er covinen', William asks in particular which mistress/mare he should ride: the shy Agnes or the hot-to-trot Arsen? He also alludes to his latent bisexuality, not hesitating to talk of love between lads in an era when the Church had not totally clamped down on all instincts yet (this 'unfaithful dog' had also written 'Farai un vers de dreit nien', a poem about 'pure nothingness'!) At the Battle of Cutanda, during the re-taking of the Kingdom of Valencia (from 1120 – 1123), an episode in the 'Reconquista', William bore a shield on which was apparently painted the body of his adulterous biatch, the appropriately named 'la Dangerosa'.
Peire Vidal, who chased pussy over hill and dale and even to the edges of the East, also participated in the First Crusade, that horndog bastard. Jaufre Rudel became a crusader (in the Second Crusade) with the hope of tapping a princess, sistah Tripoli, and died in her arms in 'The Holy Land' (he made a crossing for her, not with her…you get the difference bro?). In the Fourth Crusade Raimbaut de Vaqueiras was all up on his high horse…His vida records that 'he was risen up by spirit, arms and poetry' etc…
I say this at the moment when the most frequently bandied insult in BM, moreover often emanating from cherries, is 'gay', to describe all that is not knuckle-dragging and overflowing with testosterone (even having a girl in a group…for them that's 'gay'! Unless she has a hairy back or can burp longer than them…) However, if our Joe 666-packs in Black Metal, our modern warriors (!), are still called Bertrand or William, at the Weights Room my mates have for names Mourad and Djelloul, and at the Thai Boxing Club, Moussa, Boubacar and Abdullah.
And would they measure up to the art of the troubadours, our white alpha males of extreme metal? Alas not at all…all talk and no trousers. They try to philosophise with their three neurons…they write 'papa' with three 'Ps' in the imperialist Yankee gibberish they pick up in 'World of Warcraft' (a style of game that allows them to practise the only physical activity that they know: handling their (own) joysticks)…They act like toughs with their BLASPHEMY costumes, but beneath their army pants they wear fine lingerie….They are covered head to toe in cartridges…but where the hell are the guns?
L'Atrabilaire, 'Parigot tête de veau!….Parigot tête de bonobo!' [Parisian, calf's head!...Parisian, ape's head!] in the magazine La mesnie Herlequin #1, forthcoming.
Translation by Martin & L'Atrabilaire.

Parents and families are key partners in a student's commitment to higher education, and the Office of Student Activities and Greek Life values their interest in better understanding the organizations that their son or daughter chooses to join while in college. The fraternity and sorority experience may be something completely new to the families of Gettysburg students, or something very different from an older family member's own experience. We hope the information on our website helps to shed some light on the fraternity and sorority community at Gettysburg, but if there are any additional questions or concerns, feel free to e-mail email@example.com or call 717.337.6304 at any time.
The Office of Student Activities and Greek Life hosted webinars during the summer with information about the Panhellenic sorority recruitment and IFC fraternity recruitment processes. Below, you will find links to the slide decks utilized during these two webinars. We discussed the schedule of events, the details of the recruitment process, requirements to join, expectations of membership and housing commitments for fraternity members. If you have additional questions, knowing that the audio portion of the webinar is not available, please feel free to contact our office.
Panhellenic Recruitment 101 Webinar
Additional information on organizations and comparison information can be found by clicking the the link.
Perceptions of Fraternities and Sororities differ widely among parents and students. This information seeks to explain many of the areas of Greek Life specifically concerning parents. Social Fraternities and Sororities have enjoyed a long tradition at Gettysburg College.
- Since 1852 social fraternities have thrived on this campus and were joined by sororities in 1904
- Students at Gettysburg College cannot join a social fraternity or sorority until their sophomore year
- Today, 47% of the eligible upper-class students are Greek
Although almost everyone has heard about what Fraternities and Sororities are as well as what they do, what are the actual reasons that they exist? Many stereotypes exist about Fraternities and Sororities but when one inquires into their fundamental intent, action, and purpose one will see a very different representation.
- Fraternities and Sororities are organizations made up of groups of students that have bonded together and agreed to live out the values espoused by their founders, their creed, and the national organization.
- The Fraternities and Sororities are values based social organizations; meaning, that the organizations subscribe to a specific set of core values and beliefs that incorporate the concepts of brotherhood, service, tradition, scholarship, leadership and building relationships into their ideals and traditions.
Financial Responsibility
- Greek letter organizations have been self-sufficient since their inception, and continue that tradition today.
- Upon joining a Greek organization, your son or daughter will be billed both a candidate and initiation fee by the national organization.
- These are one time only fees that will help cover the cost of the materials your son or daughter used during the pledging process (manuals, leadership retreats, etc.). Every semester thereafter, your student will be expected to financially commit to local dues assessed by the chapter, which cover annual educational programs, social activities, and insurance fees from the national organization. Due to the financial burden of maintaining a chapter house, Fraternities have traditionally higher per semester dues. Generally, dues range from $250-$650 per semester.
- For more information on the financial responsibilities in a specific organization, please encourage the interested student to ask about dues during the rush process.
New Member Education
With the common stereotypes of Greek organizations predicated through examples such as "Animal House," many parents have concerns regarding the procedure of joining a Greek organization on campus.
- The Greeks here at Gettysburg College are a progressive community that has taken a strong stance against any type of hazing.
- Our new member education process will vary in length by organization, but is not permitted to last more than eight weeks. During the new member education period the College conducts a core new member curriculum to help students understand key topics related to the Greek community.
- Every fraternity and sorority must submit their schedule and plan for new member education by the beginning of the semester. If there are concerns about the activities in which a new member is participating, please contact the Office of Greek Life or the Department of Public Safety.
- For more information on hazing in general, as well as the College policy, please feel free to refer to the Student Handbook website. Any student that feels they are being hazed is encouraged to report the hazing to the authorities and College administration. If you, as a parent are made aware of any hazing that your student experienced while at the college, please report this to the Office of Student Activities and Greek Life.
- Due to the fact that there are no sorority houses on campus, sorority membership is not a factor within the housing selection process. However, all eleven of the active Fraternities on campus do have chapter houses; most are owned by an Alumni Housing Corporation, and need occupants to cover expenses related to maintaining the property including regular maintenance and mortgage.
- Your son will be eligible to live in the house as early as spring semester of his sophomore year, provided that he has maintained a 2.7 GPA. Otherwise he will move into the fraternity house for his junior year.
- Your son will more than likely be asked to live in the Fraternity house through his senior year. Please be aware that if your son chooses not to live in the Fraternity house, he will be assessed a non-residence fee every semester in order to offset the expenses of services that the house provides during brotherhood activities. These non-residence fees generally range from $100-$650 per semester.
- Please be aware that the individual fraternities Alumni Corporation, and not the college, determine both the housing and non-residence fee for non-College owned housing. Billing for fraternity housing is done by the College's Financial Services Department as a support service for the fraternities. Housing fees paid to the College are forwarded to the Alumni Housing Corporation for each non-college owned fraternity's operations.
The academic life of any student during his or her college years is of the utmost importance for someone looking to succeed during his or her career. The Greek organizations of Gettysburg College understand this, and strive to provide their members with the best opportunities to succeed while being active in the organization.
- Fraternities and Sororities include within their education program for new members, study sessions, as well as library hours.
- Many organizations require a minimum GPA in order to live within the house, remain a member, and even higher GPA requirements to become an executive board member.
- Each individual chapter has an elected scholarship chair that is responsible for keeping track of members and their academic performance. The scholarship chair helps not only those who are struggling, but also develops programs to assist the entire chapter in excelling academically. The scholarship chair offers scholarships, awards, and programs for individual members and the chapter in order to realize the entire organizations academic success to its full potential.
Although some parents who have knowledge about the system may not consider this aspect of Greek life to be of high concern, many of the stereotypes that exist around Greek life cause the issue of secret societies to be a concern for parents. For those parents who have had no previous involvement or experience with Greek organizations, several aspects of the organizations' membership knowledge and traditions are unknown to the uninitiated.
- Fraternity and Sorority rituals and secrets exist not to separate members of the Greek community, but instead are designed to bring together common bonds and shared values.In no way are the ritual and secrets of fraternities and sororities designed to be an elitist dogma that seeks to separate people along the basis of membership in an organization.
Fraternities and Sororities at Gettysburg College offer great opportunities for students to experience leadership, scholarship, service, and life long friendships.

It's not the violenceon May 13, 2014 @ 6:55 am (Updated: 9:22 am - 5/13/14 )
But it's not the violence. "Across our studies we look at both violent and non-violent games. What we found is it's not the content that drove post-game aggression, it was more whether you're frustrated in the game itself by a failure at mastery," explains the University of Rochester's Professor Richard Ryan.
Ryan had his test subjects play violent and non-violent games, and then he played tricks on them, like sabotaging the controls to slow down the response time. He found that post-game rage was linked not to what game you played but to how well, or badly, you played it.
What created rage was not shooting, it was losing.
And it doesn't even have to be a violent game! You could be playing Candy Crush.
"Any game where you feel like you can't control it."
And it doesn't even have to be games, you could become enraged when your word processor computer is just running slow or losing data.
"Our theory says that too leads to aggression," said Ryan. "Very similarly too, you see a lot of aggression after sports - if you feel like you've a had a bad call from the ref - it feels like it takes the game out of your control."
We all know how that feels. So what does this research say for parents who are worried about the effects of video games on their kids? Well, seems to me, instead of worrying about the violence, you may just need to upgrade your Internet speed. Or buy your kid a faster computer.

I love running and I love lifting. The two don't normally go together well. I have found that if I want to run distance, then my lifting lacks...and vice versa.
I'm trying to find a happy middle. I'm not running anything over half marathons (yea, I know...I said 10, but what's 3 more?) And I really want to start lifting heavy again. I enjoy being strong. I never had any desire to be skinny, just strong and healthy.
Does anyone else run and lift? Any hints on running and lifting big? I could use any advice on workout routines too. I'm excited to start lifting big again...starts tomorrow, the hubs is spotting me :)
I normally wouldn't do this. I like to grieve in private, but I need to share this with you.
My sister weighed 340+ pounds, she was around 5'4," she was 38 years old. She smoked cigarettes a lot and was on prescribed medication for depression and COPD and for foot surgery. She had foot surgery on Monday, Jan 14th and died Wednesday, Jan 16th. She had a heel spur removed which required that her achilles tendon be cut and sewn back together. The recovery process would be 3 months of almost complete immobility. Due to my sister's size and a previous car wreck, she was not able to get around very well anyhow.
My sister passed away mostly due to her weight. She had to change the way she slept because of the surgery. They had prescribed her percocettes (?) for pain. The way she slept on Wednesday virtually crushed her. Her weight was too much for her body to bear in the position she was sleeping.
I tell you all this because I know there's a lot of us out there trying to lose weight for one reason or another. Frankly, it could mean the difference between life or death. I had no idea this was so common and I had a difficult time believing it, at first. My sister gave up trying to lose weight and healthy lifestyle, she said she couldn't because of the medication and she couldn't move well.
I want you to know about my sister because if you ever feel like giving up on a healthy lifestyle; if you feel like it's unreachable, I want you to think about the alternative. I'm not trying to scare anyone, I just want you to know that this happens. It's so sad because it didn't have to happen.
I am a Christian and I love the Lord. I know that He has a wonderful plan for all of us. I know that He will guide me and I will follow. I am at peace because I know my sister is at peace.
Please don't give up on your battle for a healthy lifestyle. I promise you that you are worth it and so is everyone in your life. If you ever feel like giving up, please send me a message. I refuse to let anyone else give up.
The thing I hate the most about people suddenly passing away is that sometimes I forget they aren't there.
My sister passed away suddenly on Wednesday afternoon. I just got back from Tennessee yesterday. I already caught myself texting her. I closed my eyes and shook my head and just started to cry again. I was texting her to tell her that we made it home last night.
My sister was 38. She would have been 39 on March 12th. I have a 15 year old nephew who does not have a dad or a mom now. He is staying with his other aunt until the end of the school year and will be moving in with us this Summer.
I used to teach classes at the YMCA. I taught a beginner's class for those who were just beginning to join exercise classes and needed to ease into it and get a good idea of work outs. What I discovered was the majority of my ladies had children, jobs, and very little time for themselves. I only got to see them twice a week so they had to do a lot on their own. I introduced them to what I call "100's"
It goes like this: Set aside 20 minutes-3 times a day. For example: Morning, afternoon, and evening. I give myself a 20 second rest after the 2nd set if I need it. :) This also works very well for kettlebell training.
Morning: 4 sets of 25 of each: shoulder press, lunges (stationary or jump), reverse crunches
Afternoon: 4 sets of 25 of each: curls, plie squats, 30 second planks
Evening: 4 sets of 25 of each: push-ups, burpee's, steam engine
I'm taking my own advice now. BUT! if you're looking for a quick fix 100's are a really good alternative to spending 60 minutes at a time in the gym. Also,
20 minutes is a very liberal time allowance- you may only need 15 minutes. You can change/add your own exercises just do 4 sets of 25 and do 3 different exercises each time. Just think, by the end of the day you've done 200 ab exercises, 100 push-ups, 100 burpee's, 100 squats, etc!!!!! And then, think...you're pretty awesome. :)
I ran 6 miles yesterday. It was the most I have ran since I had to quit marathon training when my dad passed away in October. My last long run was 18 miles. I had injured my hip while training last year, but I had planned to run through it. It does bother me a bit and the doctor told me to put marathon aspirations out of my head and learn to be happy with shorter distances.
I put on my own little run mix: Mumford & Sons, the Naked & Famous, Old Crow Medicine Show and I was off. I wasn't fast, I averaged 10:06 a mile but my splits were okay and my fastest mile was around 9:07 (3rd). I am considerably slower and I'm okay with that. If I can run slower, but keep gaining in distance then I'll be happy. Sprinting kills my hip :( I'm considering keeping my distance low, under 10. I'm going to see how that feels and after the Charleston Bridge run (if I can run a sub 55:00) I'll start trying some speed training.
Sure, I may never run a marathon. I just want to run. It's my therapy.

Preparations for the 3rd Blogoversary
Hey, people. There have been a few changes to the site over the last few days, with more to come in preparation for the Call's 3rd anniversary and my first giveaway celebration for you, my amazing subscribers, whether by mailing lists, RSS feeds, newsreaders, and those direct visitors from locales elsewhere in the silicon data-hives of the web.
This blog's been online since December 28, 2008, though the archives have been shifted forward in time a bit, and it's gotten over 91,900 page views, 1,300 posts and 1,105 comments since I've started it.
And it couldn't have happened without all of you.
As an evolving experiment in free-form writing and learning experience, and to promote science and reason, posting on this site has been an absolute joy for me, and so have all of you.
Thanks to those of you who actually take the time to read my stuff and comment on it, whether videos, text, links or on-site images.
I hope to keep things interesting, and to continue to refine the quality of presentation of both this site and its posts.
Again, thank you. I'm humbled (such as that sometimes is) by you all.

Holy smokes. Every individual D-Rock part is already an edit of the best skating that went down. This incredible, ultra-selective montage is what you get when those edits are combined even further.
Vincent always brings those unique tricks and loose style wherever he goes and this time he also brings Ronnie Sandoval, Nakel Smith, and Jon Sciano.
Dudes you've never heard of, with names you can barely pronounce? Don't trip; skating is universal and these guys totally rip and have some truly wild moves.
Board company teams often share some traits and Expedition is known for clean skating and wicked tech-snap. Here's Zered Bassett, Spencer Hamilton, Taylor McClung, Matt Miller's crazy pop, and others.
When you've got both Shaun Ross and Tyrone Olson, you know it's a unique crew of rippers. Another rad ender goes down on the big QP.
With momentum building from his sick "VX-clusive" part and a KOTR Mystery Guest spot, Auby is on a real tear.
The hubbas and handrail get skipped this time, but the Wunga skate crew rips the park to shreds anyway. You gotta see what Ronnie Sandoval does at 1:54.
If you wanna really handle D Rock properly, camp out at the park for a couple days like Taylor Kirby, Riley Hawk, T-Spliff, and the rest of the Shep Dawgs crew. These dudes are the shit!
A bunch of hungry ams in town and a few hours at The Rock led to some ridiculously wild Hubba ledge and rail stunts. Somewhere, Scott Kane is smiling...
He's been known for his loose trucks and creative style for three decades. We're stoked and honored that Matt filmed a part at D-Rock.
We heard that he's a ripper, but this part truly shows how gnarly Jack Fardell is. With guests Austin Kanfoush and Milton Martinez.
Some of the DGK crew briefly rolled through town and rattled off as many tricks and lines as they could. Here's Jack Curtin, Dane Vaughn, and others.
Give Ben Hatchell a couple days inside The Rock and he'll rip the place to shreds. You gotta see some of this transition wizardry.
