Found out on Friday that one of my favorite games from PSX days is on the PSN, Parasite Eve. I installed it to my Vita and spent the weekend going through it. It came out about a year after Final Fantasy 7 so it has a great mix between the gameplay and look of FF7 and FF8. As with most great Squaresoft games the soundtrack is classic as well.
Parasite Eve was a fantastic experience when I played it. I believe I was in Jr. High, which I consider the golden years of my gaming (yes that includes FF7 of course). Every single game I played I ate up and accepted and got incredibly involved/lost in...regardless of the game's imperfections, flaws, etc. So the REALLY good games, such as Parasite Eve, were incredible.
No online play but a huge library that wil be super cheap, possibly play some gamecube games too if you get an old enough one

If you enjoy wasting money, buy the Wii.
I can tell you it's helluva lot cheaper and a much better deal than the money you'll be shelling out for a console designed for a 2nd grade class.
Dude, chicks dig Nintendo games way more than Metal Gear Solid and Assassin's Creed
Has anyone played Retro City Rampage yet?
I'm going to download it tonight, based off what I've heard:
In anticipation for the new Simcity, I bought Simcity 4 off Amazon. The deluxe version was about $15. I had never played this one, and I think it's pretty amazing.
I've learned that I probably wouldn't make a good mayor, governor, or president. My solution to balancing the budget is to build factories everywhere. Understanding that Obama doesn't have the option of zoning for factories because of their being outsourced makes me appreciate the difficulty of his job.
Is anyone utilizing smart glass? How is it? Worth downloading?
Why might my PS3 be able to connect to PSN, but not to the Black Ops server? I accidentally kicked it a few days ago while walking past it. It wasn't on but Black Ops was in it.
Because Sandy.
Halo 4 vs. black ops 2? Which one will be better? I have never played any of the halo series.
So I'm enjoying Assassin's Creed 3 so far... but one thing I have to say...
the lock picking mechanic was designed by someone who wants to be held down and force fed an entire bag of dicks!
Pretty sure supre isn't a game developer.
Skyrim on the 360 burned a persistent image into my older JVC DLP TV. It's actually several images but the most pronounced is where my character is positioned on the screen. I'm going to put in a new lamp tomorrow but my guess is the shadowing is permanent. Kinda bummed about it but I guess I was looking for an excuse to buy a new LED/LCD.
PS: SKYRIM- I'd like my life back! kthx

New GTA V trailer:
Honestly, I'm not that excited for this game. GTA 4 sucked IMO, and I never even finished San Andreas...I feel like you've played one GTA, you've played them all. This one might have a few more bells and whistles, but eh. There are other games next year I'm more excited about, including Beyond, Revengeence, and Last of Us (assuming that one comes out in 2013).

i turned 2k into 11k this past week. even though i f**ked up on friday .. monday - thursday was over a 500% gain imagine if i had taken his hypothetical 100k and had a 500% return on that in 4 days. you can turn 100k into a million in a week in the markets. trust me ed, investing is not gambling. there's a strategy to it. | |

Because whilst there are 500% return trades out there, I don't think they exist so frequently in the $100k range, and even if they do, its due to considerable volatility, which is essence is like taking a gamble.
I'm not saying high returns arn't out there, but they're undoubtedly a.ssociated with higher levels of risk. If trading were that easy, then there would be significantly more prop traders than there is now. Also given that trading (day trading at least) is zero sum game, that indicates that not everyone is a winner. | ||

If you had 100k it would be very foolish to put it in the stock market, very foolish...
for one its ultra risky because you have no control, real estate is better because of the control, the stock market isn't bad, but its a side thing, never a main thing. Its just a dumb idea to put your money in a place you have no control over, thats better for discretionary income, that you can say "aw, damn" if you lose but no cry over. if that was all I had in my account...I would probably start low overhead business or businesses. Then learn sales and marketing by going to seminar and getting products aka investing in myself, then take it from their. That way I have control over my destiny. I have well over 300k worth of education on a lot of topics and that allows me to move more freely. I say that because I'm kinda lazy and don't like anything that resembles a job. Day trading reminds me to much of a job and the hope and pray mentality. I would rather buy a hot dog cart businesses or something and pay someone to run it and collect 1/3 the daily money than invest in the stock market and wait. Because I can market my hot dog stand from home and build signs and do all kinds of controllable things. Then I can start 40 hot dog cart businesses and really lay back. |

No, I'm not talking about penny stocks. Yes, you could essentially make high returns in penny stocks as well...but I trade index options, ETF options, and stock options. As well as some big board and penny stocks. I know someone who turned 5k into what is currently about 900k just in penny stocks in about 3 years. There is not as much risk as people make it out to be. If you know what you're doing, you can limit risks. You hedge your positions, you use stop losses, etc. Vagnum, you know Gambler on HSM right? He turned 10k into what is now 500k in the stock market. Now he's rich making huge money on a consistent basis. I never said trading were easy. It's not easy. I've been doing for it about a year now full time..but it took me a while to learn everything, develop a strategy, etc. I wasn't making a ton of money when I first started out. But I stuck with it, and I improved. Nothing comes easy in life. I didn't say you would become an over night millionaire in the markets. Yes you CAN turn 100k into a million in 1 day, but the odds are you won't. Especially if you're new at it. But over time, you can turn 100k into a million easily.

Ultra risky? Have you ever invested in the markets? Do you know anything about stocks? Real estate is riskier than stocks. What happened to the people who invested in real estate before the housing market went to s**t? They lost the majority of their investment. In stocks, if you see a stock going down, you can sell immediately and minimize your losses to 5% if you wanted to. It's a click of a button away. How about real estate? Do you have buyers lined up willing to buy your house right away? I don't think so. | |

You have to learn. It's up to you to learn. I can't hold your hand through the process. If you're not willing to take the time out and educate yourself on whatever you're looking to get into, then you'll never get anywhere. That goes with anything. If you wanted to get into a business, you'd have to learn the ins and outs of the business too...but if you're not willing to put in the time and effort, you won't be successful. | |

Personally I would rather collect checks every month without doing anything because I put forth effort early on, than to constantly watch the markets, I would rather watch the markets part-time and use play money personally. So i'm not bashing the market itself, I compare it my world of marketing and advertising, if you think you can just start an adwords account, start bidding and you're going get tons of traffic most likely you're going to lose all your money because of the learning curve and what a mistake costs. I think its the same in markets, start small and learn the ropes before invest large amounts....investing large amounts in something you know nothing about and isn't straight forward is kinda dumb IMO. Real Estate doesn't move as fast as the market so its easier for a beginner IMO. Last edited by mr_underground; 05-23-2010 at 09:59 AM.. | |

Barely a month after he took charge, new sports minister Jitendra Singh has been saddled with one of the trickiest jobs; finding a way out of the mess in the Indian Olympic Association after it was suspended by the International Olympic Committee (IOC).
What's the reaction of the sports ministry?
It's really unfortunate that National Olympic Committee (NOC) has been barred from participation in multi-discipline events held under the umbrella of the IOC. The sad part of the suspension is that it may not have any implication on the profile of the country's sports administrators, but will certainly affect the mind-set of the budding sportspersons of the nation.
Who is to be blamed?
Certainly it's the IOA. The situation could have been averted had the IOA incorporated certain changes in its constitution. The IOA had agreed to amend its constitution in 2010, but it never happened. There is also wrong interpretation that ministry wants to interfere in the functioning of the national federations or the IOA via the sports code which lays emphasis on age and tenure. We are only interested in the development of sports in the country and this can only be done if there is good governance. That is why we have been emphasising on that. It's simple, but people running the show have made it complex.
What does the ministry plan to do?
Prior to the elections today, the ministry had also made efforts to discuss the issue of the sports code with the IOC. In fact, the ministry had proposed a meeting with the IOC to clear the issue.
We are still open to ideas and would welcome any decision to share a common platform where the ministry, IOA and the IOC can sit together and sort out the issue at the earliest.

Berding says "it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. The worst part is getting out."

Dumbarton Elementary library named best in state
By Tom Lappas, Citizen Editor 03/22/12
The Dumbarton Elementary School library is a special place – just ask any of the school's students, who regularly participate in collaborative learning projects with classmates and their teachers there and who are free to return and check out books any time during the school day.
Ask principal Eileen Traveline, who has witnessed a revival of the library as a place where true 21st century learning takes place each day and where students become excited about new technology and well-versed in group interaction and communication.
Ask parents of students for whom English is a second language, who have engaged in family literacy nights and taken field trips to public libraries to become more proficient in a new culture, thanks to the efforts of school officials.
Ask sixth-year librarian Suzanna Panter, whose leadership efforts have transformed the library into the focal point of the school.
Or, simply, take the opinion of the Virginia Association of School Librarians, which recently named the Dumbarton Elementary library its library of the year – making it the first elementary school ever to win the award.
"Our kids are constantly over-achieving," Panter said. "It's definitely a success story, and the library plays such an important role in the school."
Dumbarton is unique in the way it utilizes its library as a developmental classroom for students. Instead of simply being dropped off by their teachers to spend time inside, students in second through fifth grades come to the libraries with their teachers to work on special projects and assignments that go beyond simply researching and reading.
"The teachers buy into the flexible schedule because they are a part of it and see the academic results in their students," Henrico Deputy Superintendent for Policy and Elementary Education Pat Kinlaw wrote in a nomination letter on behalf of the school.
Achieving buy-in from teachers for the new system required some adjustment, principal Eileen Traveline said. But "I don't think anyone would go back now. Once they got in there and realized the benefit of it for the children an their learning, I don't think they would turn back."
Reaching a diverse student body
Dumbarton has a diverse student population – 43 percent black, 25 percent white, 17 percent Hispanic and 9 percent Asian – and more than a quarter of its students speak English as a second language. Panter found that many children and their parents had not been to a county library, so she established regular family literacy nights at the school, during which students play literacy-themed games and read with their families. On other nights, translators explain the program to new ESL families and encourage parents to get their own school library cards as a way to help them learn English.
The school also has organized several field trips to public libraries to further its education and outreach efforts.
Because only about half of Dumbarton's students live in households that have computers, it's even more critical that they are exposed to technology in school, Traveline said.
"If we don't provide them with 21st-century skills, then they don't get them," she said.
Traveline credits Panter with creating the culture that has helped students excel.
"She's very innovative, very much on top of what current research says," Traveline said. "She has a vision, and she's constantly trying to think of new things to do.
"The kids are excited about what they're doing. They're working in groups, they're collaborating, they're learning."
Panter and Dumbarton officials have viewed the school's library as a model for other elementaries because of the unique way it serves its community. Now, the VaASL has concurred.
"Ms. Panter integrates information literacy, skillful research and inquiry, and ethical use of technology for all students," VaASL officials said in a statement announcing the award.
The library's "open-access" model is designed to encourage students to spend time in the library any time. With their teachers' permission, students can visit the library during the school day to return and check out books.
"People just think that kids just come to the library, read books and go, and that's just not how it is in Henrico and at Dumbarton," Panter said. "We collaborate with teachers to come up with projects to teach SOL skills on problem solving drills.
"I'm hoping that we'll become even more of a model, especially with the collaboration piece."
Thanks to federal stimulus money several years ago, the school was able to purchase 10,000 new books for its library, replacing a number of old ones in the process. Now, with a complement of 15,000 books overall, students have plenty from which to choose – and choose they do. They check out an average of 7,000 books each month.
Dumbarton also recently earned a grant from the Henrico Education Foundation to support its e-reader incentive program, which Panter identified as a way to engage students who weren't excited about reading. Students can check out an e-reader for six weeks, take it home and read with their parents.
"The ultimate goal is for kids to love to read," Panter said. "Students will check out the [e-readers] for six weeks and twice a week will come to the library to discuss the books they're reading. Parents are invited once a week as well."
Said HEF program manager Paula Roop of Panter's concept: "We like the idea that she was trying to use technology to impact achievement. By letting children take it home, it engages the parents as well as students."
Dumbarton officials will be honored during the VaASL Conference in Hampton Nov. 9.
HCPS wins national honor for overhaul of Code of Student Conduct, supports
Citizen Staff Reports 03/28/2017 Education
Henrico County Public Schools recently was recognized by the National School Boards Association for a sweeping overhaul of the school division's approach to student supports.

Environmentalists say budget hurts efforts to protect bay
By Julie Rothey, Capital News Service 03/28/2017 Government
Environmental groups are outraged at the Trump administration's proposed funding cuts for Chesapeake Bay cleanup programs.
President Donald Trump's budget plan, released last week, reduces the budget for the federal Environmental Protection Agency by 31 percent. That includes a $427 million in funding to address regional pollution, such as the Chesapeake Bay protection efforts. The proposed budget would eliminate funding for the EPA's Chesapeake Bay Program, which received $73 million from the federal government in 2016. > Read more.

Virginia raises a toast to George Washington's whiskey
By Megan Corsano, Capital News Service 03/27/2017 General AssemblyGeneral Assembly 2017
George Washington is recognized as the father of our country, but with a bill signed into law by Gov. Terry McAuliffe, Washington also will be recognized under another title – distiller of Virginia's official liquor.
SB 1261, sponsored by Sen. Adam Ebbin of Alexandria, adds a "state spirit" to the list of the commonwealth's official emblems and designations and crowns George Washington's rye whiskey with the title.
The bill, which McAuliffe signed last week, highlights George Washington's contributions to the culture of Virginia as "a native son of Virginia born on February 22, 1732, in Pope's Creek"; "the first American president, commander of the Continental Army, and president of the Constitutional Convention"; and "a model statesman ... universally acknowledged as the father of our nation." > Read more.

It's a bunch of middleaged lawyers and other types of legal theives that have a pathetic life, so they have tried to find a way to fill that missing void. They call themselves Tiger Pimp Nation, you can find the. They take it real serious too. It's kinda sad, I feel bad for them.
Here is their website to bash them.

New Zealand wicketkeeper-batsman BJ Watling admitted that a long, hard battle lies ahead in the second Test against India, after the visitors took a formidable 246-run first innings lead, riding on Ajinkya Rahane's maiden Test ton. Shikhar Dhawan got out for 98.
"It was not really an ideal day for us. We got ourselves into situations where, if we had taken another wicket or two, we could have been chasing 100 or 150. Obviously, it was a disappointing result in the end but we have still got three days to grind it out here. The pitch is definitely looking a lot better to bat on," Watling said at the end of second day's play.

Seagate gets into storage on the side
Subject: Storage | January 16, 2006 - 04:15 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Seagate has implemeted some new technology into their new series of laptop harddrives. By using Perpendicular storage, as opposed to the Longitudinal storage that all current harddrives use, they vastly increase storage denisty, as well as improving shock tolerance. Read the full review at Big Bruin and clear up the confusion you likely feel right now.
"The future of perpendicular recording hard drives looks to be very interesting, and Seagate is
ready to show off their first entry into the market with the release of the Momentus 5400.3 line
of drives. Higher capacities, greater shock tolerance, and greater reliability are the key
features in my opinion, but this new technology offers far more."

Lewis urged to fight Social Security cuts
Ken Watts | 6/21/2013, 6:22 a.m.
DECATUR Georgia voters delivered more than 670 petition signatures to 5th District U.S. Rep. John Lewis asking him to vote against any cuts to Social Security, Medicare or Medicaid benefits.
The signatures were delivered June 11 to Jared McKinley, Lewis' outreach coordinator, at the Scott Candler Library in Decatur.
Yvonne Gamble, coordinator of the Progressive Change Campaign, presented the signatures to McKinley at Lewis' Congress in the Community event. Lewis did not attend.
The petitions ask him to sign a letter to President Barack Obama written by Rep. Alan Grayson (D-Fla.) and Rep. Mark Takano (D-Calif.).
"The idea of cutting Social Security makes us angry because several administrations since President Richard Nixon have borrowed from the Social Security trust fund and no one's been putting the money back," Gamble said.
The Grayson-Takano protest letter says: "We will vote against any and every cut to Medicare, Medicaid or Social Security benefits, including raising the retirement age or cutting the cost of living adjustments that our constituents earned and need." The full letter can be viewed at NoBenefitCuts.com.
McKinley said Lewis has always fought for the rights of the individual "so this is a no-brainer for him as far as the issue is concerned."
To date, 44 of Lewis' colleagues in Congress and more than 200,000 "citizen co-signers" across the country have signed the letter, according to BoldProgressives.org.
The activists are worried that a Social Security cost-of-living reduction coupled with new age requirements and cost-sharing for Medicare and Medicaid might be part of a deficit reduction deal between the president and congressional Republicans.
Obama's proposed fiscal year 2014 budget includes "chained CPI," a major benefit cut that affects 57 million Social Security recipients, veterans and disabled people. Republicans also have offered budgets that would cut Medicare and Medicaid drastically.
Gamble said an entitlement reduction bill might make quick progress in Congress.
"So we're moving proactively across the country, trying to get signatures for this petition signed in various congressional districts because we don't want a bill to come up for a vote before Congress takes its summer recess in mid-August," she said.
"You have many of the baby boomers who are reaching retirement age now, and we know that will spike the number of people applying for Social Security benefits and in the next 10 years lead to the largest number of new recipients ever."
Lewis' Washington spokeswoman Brenda Jones said Thursday he has "always strongly opposed tampering with entitlement benefits and will continue to do so." She said he has signed several "pledges" against cuts.

An abnormal PAP smear; What does this all mean? Nov 8, 2002 MY PAP CAME BACK ABNORMAL AND THEY RULED OUT ANY STD SO WHAT DOES IT MEAN? |
Response from Dr. Dezube
Your query does not have enough information for me to answer fully. Are you a woman talking about a cervical PAP smear, a guy talking about an anal PAP smear? There are many abnormalities-- which do you have? These are the questions you need to get from your provider who presumably has the PAP report. Most abnormal PAP smears need to be followed-up. For an abnormal cervical PAP smear, this would mean culposcopy. For an abnormal anal PAP smear, this would mean anoscopy. Both culposcopy and anoscopy are procedures by which your health provider looks at the cells lining either the cervix (for culposcopy) or the anus (for anoscopy). During this procedure biopsies are usually obtained to get a better idea as to the meaning of the abnormal PAP smear. Only through a combination of scoping (culposcopy or anoscopy) and of biopsies, can a treatment plan be made for you. |
One more armpit follow-up; What do you do about lymph nodes which neither grow nor shrink? | Is my KS related to my Thyroid Lesion? |

I came across the Questions like, why it has been withdrawn? If it can be available in 12.1 then please realease a Hotfix for the same.
Ajit Jha
Technical Consultant
The "Clear Infected Status" button is missing from 12.1 SEPM as documented here:
http://www.symantec.com/docs/TECH193160 and here: http://www.symantec.com/docs/TECH165846
There is now in SEPM v12 no quick way to clear the infected status (to delete the flag) for administrative purposes.
Why is this feature needed? For example,
Responding to the threat flags (plural) on the Computer Status log. suppose I work on one remote machine, perhaps just deleting a malfile. Then I send a scan command from the SEPM for a degree of assurance that the matter is resolved.
Now I need to clear that infected flag so that it is out of the way (no longer a distraction) and I can work on just the flags that need my attention, with the assurance that if the scan I just invoked finds the file has returned, a new flag for that client will appear the the Comp Stat log.
That is one typical scenario. Please vote up if you have limited staff and want your machines clean.
Additional clarification
Yes I understand that the SEP 12.1 approach is: you send the scan command and if it returns clean, THEN the flag gets cleared. One problem with that is that I need the flag to be GONE when I am done working so I can go on to the others and not have to keep re hashing my way through through all the ones I have already fixed, trying to keep track of which flags to quit reading which are old which are new - re-opening the flag to see what the date(s) are on the detections listed there.
( A quick scan might not clear the flag. See the Solution here: https://www-secure.symantec.com/connect/forums/how-clear-still-infected-pcs-virus-and-risks-activity-summary-sepm-121-ru1-mp1-console#comment-7670341 )
Worse, it seem that all flags will clear anyway after 12 hours or 24 hours. Home page Security Status > Preferences > first tab. which is not good if you do not work seven days a week.
This change was made to give "a more accurate status for how many client computers really are infected." So, a mere count will be more accurate but it is now harder to actually fix machines.
Thank you for your consideration.

a fawn. 1 Chr. 4:14. (1.) A city of Benjamin (Josh. 18:23); probably identical with Ephron (2 Chr. 13:19) and Ephraim (John 11:54). (2.) "Of the Abi-ezrites." A city of Manasseh, 6 miles south-west of Shechem, the residence of Gideon (Judg. 6:11; 8:27, 32). After his great victory over the Midianites, he slew at this place the captive kings (8:18-21). He then assumed the function of high priest, and sought to make Ophrah what Shiloh should have been. This thing "became a snare" to Gideon and his house. After Gideon's death his family resided here till they were put to death by Abimelech (Judg. 9:5). It is identified with Ferata.
Men of Shechem too would not be governed from ophrah if they had any spirit.
And when he died, he was buried in his own country of ophrah.
As the flame goes up from the altar at ophrah men feel a flash of hope and promise.
After this victory Gideon bore rule over Israel from his home in ophrah, until his death.
One band turned back toward Beth-horon in the west, another went north to the southern ophrah, otherwise known as Ephraim.
Gideon died at a good old age and was buried in the tomb of Joash, his father, in ophrah of the Abiezerites.
And when Gideon was come to his own country of ophrah, he slew the kings of the Midianites.
For a while we see the hero acting as judge at ophrah and presiding with dignity at the altar.
It was designated by the biblical historians as ophrah of the Abiezrites, being named from the clan to which Gideon belonged.
This led to a civil war, for Jephthah was not so submissive to the proud Ephraimites as the judge of ophrah had been.

NHL cancels November games
The six-week long NHL lockout exacted another heavy price toward a potential 2012-13 season Friday when the league canceled all games through the end of November.
The ongoing labor battle between the owners and players guarantees a second lockout-shortened season in the league's 95-year history will occur if the two sides are able to agree on a new collective bargaining agreement in time to play at least part of a season.
The NHL had a 48-game regular season in 1994-95 because of a work stoppage.
Negotiations toward an agreement remain at a standstill, and there is a growing possibility this lockout could result in a repeat of 2004-05 when that entire season was wiped out
The current work stoppage is in its 42nd day and has cost 326 games or 26.5 percent of the season. The Winter Classic, scheduled for Jan. 1 in Ann Arbor, Mich., and All-Star Game on Jan. 27 in Columbus, Ohio, might be axed if there is no deal in place soon.
Owners and players continue to spar over how to work toward a 50-50 split of league revenues in addition to sharp disagreement on terms for free-agent and entry-level contracts.
The NHL said it would pull its latest offer off the table because of the unwillingness of the players' union to negotiate off it.
In the past two days, NHL commissioner Gary Bettman and deputy commissioner Bill Daly effectively quashed any hope for an 82-game season. The big question now is whether the two sides are willing and able to save what's left of it.
NHLPA executive director Donald Fehr blamed the owners for the latest cancellation, calling their offer a "take-it-or-leave-it proposal" and reiterating that it was the owners who rejected their three counteroffers in 10 minutes.

Kobe held off free-throw line by Blazers, refs
February 23rd, 2011, 9:39 pm by KEVIN DING, OCREGISTER.COMKobe Bryant has been known to make his opinion heard with NBA referees -- sometimes getting technical fouls for his words and gestures, sometimes getting some leeway because of his star status.
He didn't draw a single technical foul Wednesday night in Portland, but it wasn't for a lack of words and gestures. Bryant was as upset as any point this season with the lack of foul calls on his offensive thrusts. Referees Ron Garretson, Marat Kogut and Leon Wood listened without calling a technical on Bryant -- although Lamar Odom did get one in the fourth quarter for his complaint.
Bryant got just one free throw -- coming with 3:00 left in the third quarter on a play where he pump-faked the defender into the air and still made the shot -- until deep in the fourth quarter. Bryant missed that free throw, too. He missed his first five shots from the field before finding the range later.
The Lakers struggled to get calls inside also. Neither Pau Gasol nor Andrew Bynum had a single free-throw attempt as the game's end neared.

The Dordt College Community
At Dordt College we attempt to be a community of people dedicated to growing in the knowledge of God, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, and of his creation. We seek to apply this knowledge in each person's life as well as in the area of his or her chosen career. In other words, we seek to serve as well as to prepare for service in the kingdom of Jesus Christ.
Because the majority of Dordt students live on or near campus, Dordt is able to offer each person the experience of functioning as part of a unique community. While Dordt is a community of persons, it is more importantly a community of Christians. Thus, it seeks to model itself after the believing community which is described in Acts 2:42-47 as working together, praising God always, and constantly looking out for the needs of the rest of the community.
In addition we are exhorted to "...be likeminded, having the same love, being one in spirit and purpose. Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit, but in humility consider others better than yourselves. Each of you should look not only to your own interest, but also to the interests of others. Your attitude should be the same as that of Christ Jesus." Phil. 2:2-5 NIV
In the spirit of these commands, Dordt assumes that all present and potential students will prayerfully consider that their responsibility involves seeking and upholding standards and behavior that enhance the welfare and best interests of the whole group. With the diverse needs of the many individuals that make up the Dordt College community in mind, certain behavioral standards have been developed. While only faith in Jesus Christ can provide the basis for our relationship to God, these standards have been adopted to promote both the growth and the testimony of our community.
Responsibilities of Membership in the Community
As a Christian college dedicated to the task of providing an education which is in accordance with the Word of God, Dordt strives to establish an environment that is conducive to the spiritual development and welfare of its students. Dordt College desires to have students who are men and women committed to Biblical-Christian principles of life.
The faculty, staff, and students at Dordt College constitute a Christian community in which all must seek to speak the truth in love as brothers and sisters in the Lord. Faculty, staff, and students should admonish and encourage one another unto lives of faithful obedience to him (Matt. 18:15-17). It is expected that students will strive to obey the Lord's teaching in every area of their lives on campus and off campus. Students who do not share this Christian view of life may not be in a position to appreciate Dordt College's educational experience. Students who come to Dordt should be fully prepared to abide by Christian standards and the policies adopted by the college.
With the above principles in mind, Dordt assumes that students will prayerfully comply with the guidelines listed in this handbook.

Revision as of 18:33, 20 June 2011
The nobility is a class of people who had special political and social status. Nobility is inherited or granted by the Crown as a reward to people who perform a heroic deed, achieve greatness in some endeavor, or hold a prominent government position.
British nobility has a well-defined order. The highest noblemen are peers, which include the titles of (in descending rank) duke, marquis, earl, viscount, and baron. This is followed by the gentry, whose titles are baronet, knight, esquire, and gentleman. Both peers and gentry are entitled to coats of arms.The noble class forms less than five percent of England's population. England limits the growth of the noble class. The eldest son inherits the father's title, and younger sons may or may not have lesser titles. Younger sons do, however, have the right to use the father's coat of arms altered with cadency, a mark showing birth order. When a nobleman dies without sons, the title may pass to a brother, cousin, or uncle. It may also lapse unless the Crown awards the title to a daughter's husband.
Most family traditions of having a noble ancestor who was disinherited and then emigrated are not true since most noblemen did not emigrate. Contrary to popular belief, few nobles disowned family members for unacceptable behavior. Thus, most traditions of an ancestor's being "erased" or "eliminated" from all records are unfounded.
Illegitimate children are not entitled to noble status and often do not appear on family pedigrees. They may, however, be granted a variation of the father's coat of arms.
Visitations, Heraldic
Because of frequent false claims to coats of arms, kings' heralds required descents to be documented. These pedigrees are called "visitations." Many visitations from the 16th and 17th centuries have been published by the Harleian Society and other private groups. Those available at the Family History Library are listed in the Place Search of the Family History Library Catalog under:
There are many publications that can help you trace noble families. The most important are three indexes to published works compiled by Whitmore, Marshall, and Barrow. These books are described in England Genealogy.For further information on visitation records, see:
- Squibb, G.D. Visitation Pedigrees and the Genealogist. Revised Edition. London, England: Pinhorns, 1978. (Family History Library book 942 A1 no. 702, 1978.)
