Its' free and it takes less than 1 minute!
My eventual goal is to become a creative director on games, getting to that point through the art lead position. This is all very far down the line (possibly around 10 years AFTER graduation) but I was wondering, is it possible to minor while in the CA and GAD programs?
If so, I'd like to utilize their Business of Art and Design minor, but I've heard that people put in well over 80hr a week into the CA and GAD majors. would there be time to do a minor?

I honestly don't think you can Minor in GAD or CA, they are always EXTREMELY busy. As for the difference, the two are very similar but from my understandings GAD's focus more on environment and technical aspects (Like actually programming playable games) which is slightly different from preset CA's. If you want to do things like Pixar/Movies, go to CA. If you want to make interactive games, go to GAD
Of course everyone who watches a pixar movie wishes they could do that, but I more like the depth of interactive gaming environments. It's hard to explain, but the CA thesis seem flat whereas the environments seen from the gad programs feel like you could actually reach into it. I know what I'm talking about, lol.
By any chance would you know anything about the amount of programing that goes into the GAD program?
I've heard that it has literally next to none, that it is primarily and almost extensively an art program, yet then I've heard that in years to come the thesis films may be turning into creating a playable demo of a game. I'd be fascinated to learn how to make a playable demo, but I'm not looking forward to heavy programing.

From what I have seen of GAD students, I am pretty sure sophomore year they are required to make a playable platformer, but I'm not 100% on that.
Hello everyone! It's been a while, but I think that's because nothing I write is getting sent through. Oh well, moving on~
I have a question open for anyone really. Has anyone gone to/know someone who has gone to the Precollege thing Ringling has? I have applied for it and am currently waiting for my teacher to send in the letter of recommendation before they review it. I live in Pennsylvania, so 4 weeks in Florida is going to be crazy, but I am really excited because I haven't visited campus yet, and if the campus is bad, I may have to find another school :/
I guess another question would be how do you like the campus? I've talked to some other people who have said that they really like it, and I'm always curious about this until I can go.
It's awesome reading everything that's been posted, a big thanks to Lizzybeth, I remember reading your posts a few years ago, and it's awesome that you are still helping out even though you've graduated!
I know there are better people to help you out than myself, because I've never done the precollege thing, but I'll throw in my two cents anyway.
I didn't find out about ringling until after I graduated high school, so I couldn't really go to the precollege thing. . If I had, I certainly would have tried to go.
I used to live in the mountains of Pennsylvania, up around the tobyhanna area, and then I lived in south new jersey for awhile. I'm now just north of sarasota (tampa). I can tell you the weather difference is really easy to get used to if you like the heat. I know I do, so It was actually a great change. I haven't experience the terrible humidity people always talk about, but I'm pretty sure I can take it. as long as I don't have to deal with snow ever again, I'm good.
I've also yet to visit the campus, but from what I understand the campus itself is gorgeous. The issue is the surrounding area, I've heard isn't the best, but that is the case with all schools. they need to buy a lot of land so they buy in the cheaper areas, and there is often a good bit of crime right around the school. but that's every where. Look at temple university and rutgers. the schools themselves are beautiful, yet right around the corners are often the "ghetto". If you are living on campus with the dorms, you shouldn't even have to worry too much about going off campus.
Personally I've grown up in bad neighborhoods my whole life so IDK what the big deal is, but if it is a worry for you, just try not to leave campus at night, and never alone. that goes for any school you go to.
If you want to do an earlier visit, there is the spring open house coming up in February, and you can basically schedule a personal tour just about anytime throughout the year. I would have done this already myself, but I've been bust doing other things. I like to pretend I'm busy.
ANyway, nice to know there are some other GAD hopefuls floating about (even if you are a year away from applying). Hopefully i've been some help, and soon someone else will pipe in with some more info.

@tmg: I think CA mostly concentrates on story-telling and being able to effectively convey emotion through their characters, they're supposed to bring life and believability to these characters. Maybe? Right? Their characters have to be like actors. Not that they don't need environments, because that's also very important, but animators need to be able to relate to their audience more than GAD needs to In GAD environments are very crucial and believability in the space needs to come across if needed. Game characters need a lot of room and levels to run around and shoot zombies in Story and graphics are very important to both though c: I wanted to minor in Business too but it doesn't seem like there'd be much time :Y
@ minaudie: I've visited the campus and it's really beautiful. I don't know if I'm biased just because I was so excited, but compared to the university I attend now, Ringling still beats it in environment. It's bright and it always seems so cheerful. I've never done the precollege thing either, I didn't have the money to spare at the time. But one of my classmates did and she loved it and learned a lot, even though she didn't end up going there (financial reasons I assume). Sarasota's right on the coast so there's always a nice breeze and temperatures level out so it's not toooo hot as inland. I've heard a lot about the crime too, but as long as you go in a group and are careful, I'm sure you'll be fine. My high school was in a terrible neighborhood too, but as long as I was careful, I've had nothing worse than a homeless man approaching me for a few minutes.
Anyone knows the score requirement for the TOEFL test? for international students who needs to take the test, do you know the score requirement? Also, if you get a low score, should you apply for the applications anyways? will the school not accept your application because of your low score?
I have never heard of the TOEFL test so about that I wouldn't know.
My view on applying, is if you want to get into either CA, GAD, or even Illustration, I'd apply anyway. You basically get one change a year you get in, so you should increase your chances by applying as much as possible. Statistically speaking your chances increase every time you apply (but at once a year, that's still a pretty slim chance). The school's representatives (if you call them) should be able to tell you everything you need to know.
here's what a quick search under how to apply brought up, when looking at Ringling's site.
"International Students
Ringling College students come from 42 countries! We welcome applications from international students. Because Ringling College does not offer English for Speakers of Other Languages courses, you must be proficient in English to be considered for admission. If you are a citizen of a country where English is not a common language, please submit scores from the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) or International English Language Testing System (IELTS). A minimum score of 61 (internet version) or 500 (paper version) on the TOEFL; or 6.0 on the IELTS is required. In addition, please submit the International Supplement* to the Common Application"
hope that helped.
Some times you don't have to shoot zombies. sometimes you need to jump on things too.
I think you're right about the whole believability and life bringing thing. I've read people say that if you can have your audience become emotionally attached to you characters, you did it right.
I've read dealing with games is more like playing god.
I kind of figured so much, but I wanted to be sure. I do love characters to, so maybe in 4 1/2-5 years time, I'll try and combine the two ideas into one thesis. Yes I do live in a fantasy world. One where I can find time to learn everything, ever.
speaking of time constraints, if it were possible, I know I'd fill my elective with animation classes and just forgo sleep until I gained my degree. Business sounded a bit more plausible though.
Reading some of these posts make me feel like a "bad boy". Is it bad that I was one of those who would approach the homeless guy unafraid? Ask him about the weather? When they go on psychotic tangents about the FBI, it's sad and hilarious simultaneously.
I think the worse thing that ever happened to me was being approached by a pushy drug dealer. They really are in disbelief when you don't want to buy their "goods". Well no, when I was like 12 My brother got mugged. But that was in a nice neighborhood. So yeah, bad neighborhoods mean nothing. Just learn the language of the "streets" and you have nothing to worry about, lol. That and never leave your abode with anything of value... I never own anything of value so it works perfect for me.
And about the weather. IDK about you, but it's been feeling cold to me. 66 degrees feels icy to me. IDK how my body forgot the cold so fast but it thinks it's freezing right now.

Thank you theme, your answer helped. I have one more question; how do you guys photograph your work? also is it ok to use photoshop to organize your images? like for sculpture, should I put 3 or more images onto 1 page or should I send it as separate pieces?
I've only seen pictures/video of the campus, it looks so beautiful though o0o I'd like to schedule a visit before I send in the rest of my stuff (especially since you can get a portfolio review there), but since it's in the middle of the holidays I may not make it.
We have a lot of homeless here, and I would agree about "speaking the language of the streets" lol. walking downtown Houston at 2 - 4 in the morning you get all kinds of folk bothering you ( I could tell some stories lol), but there are a few things you can do to minimize threats
Also, I was thinking about minoring in business too! I thought about illustration as a minor, but the CA program is so intense it's like...well what CAN you do on top of all of that, yanno?
And, to answer that question really quickly:
I photograph all of my work with a regular camera phone and then edit it in Photoshop. It is more than okay, and in fact, at the Ringling info session they mentioned it was a good idea to do just that. As for a sculpture, my personal opinion is to do different angle shots and then edit it all into one image. If it's different sculptures and they aren't related (like from the same series and whatnot) then I would probably make those separate images.
IDK about what's allowed or not, or what's best, but I personally, do use photoshop with the images. I put like sketches on the same image, and cut out what I didn't like. And since I use a camera instead of a scanner, sometimes i do get pesky shadows, which is often pretty easy to get rid of using adjustments > layers, and then using those eye dropper tools (I just was doing it on a couple of images in my sketchbook).
as far as what I understand about photographing your image, it has a lot to do with lighting your image. If you are taking a picture, you want there to be as few shadows as possible, so you should try to have two light sources of equal high and strength, tilted at 45 degree angles on either side of the image. that or use natural daylight. in either case, try to keep the image perpendicular to your camera, and keep the shadows off.
as far as taking pictures, again, I think if you go to Ringling.edu an then into their portfolio section they have a whole section just on how to photograph your work. they used to.

I've only managed to get 1 piece of my portfolio into the computer thus far, and I did both: by taking a couple pictures of the piece, AND scanning it. Any opinion on which method is better?
If you post the image up, I"d be able to tell you of the two you have which is preferable. As which is better, that up to each person's own preference. As long as the end result is what you want, than it's the best choice. I think.

Hahaha I did that too for some sketches. I'll probably end up doing like a collage of my best gestures, just to use one image versus multiple. I play with the lighting too, using brightness contrast just so it's easier and clearer to see if the picture came out a little dark. Or using the clone tool to erase mistakes or writing that would distract.
I just take pictures with our small family camera on pretty solid resolution. I use multiple lights as well, and set it somewhere where my shadow won't cast on top of the image.
As an international student applied for Ringling before, I don't need to submit TOEFL test as long as English is my first language in my country. I think they prefer looking at your portfolio to GPA. All the best for your application! What major are you applying for?
Ringling allows you to combine sketches/drawings/etc into one image. The only requirement ( I think it's the same for all categories) is 5 - 25 images (how those images are put together is up to you!) and it has to be 5mb
ummm.... Wow.
I didn't expect it at all, since I'm still working on my portfolio NOW; but guess what guys? I got in!
I guess when I asked for my application to be renewed, they just sent last years portfolio in as well.
I just received my acceptance letter about an hour ago.
I've read it about 8 times. It's for the 2013 school year, and they are waiting for my $500.00 dollar acceptance fee.
Wow. A really unexpected, beautiful start to my day.

*clinks wine glass* Thank you kindly. All I can say is persistence has won. Soon enough we will be drinking wine in your honor as well.
Honestly me neither. That's why I read it over like 8+ times, and it wasn't until my mom read it over that I was sure I was reading correctly. Bear in mind it was Game Art and Design, not Computer animation that I was applying to. CA is the only program that has the January 15th deadline. I guess everything else is first come first serve. I bet being put on the wait-list last year didn't hurt either.
Absolutely. As I said it must have been with last year's portfolio because I didn't update my slideroom yet this year, so my new work couldn't have been used. If you look in my sketchbook, I think the post before my newest has a lot of the work I eventually used in my portfolio. I'll get my full portfolio up as soon as I get it together.
It's funny. I was today, going to post on this thread if anyone has recently looked at the portfolio examples that ringling shows. I recently looked at them and was struck with fear of not being good enough. So much of those examples are beautiful. like a mix of dali and M.C. escher.

by Free Britney at . Updated at .Honey Boo Boo's Sugar Bear and Mama June are husband and wife.
Well, maybe. They won't say if they've actually gotten married or just committed to each other. In any case ... there was a big wedding-type thing!
There were vows, a cake, a camo gown and tons of family and friends present to honor Mama June (June Shannon, 33) and Sugar Bear (Mike Thompson, 41).
Honey Boo Boo herself (Alana Thompson, 7) and big sisters Pumpkin, Chickadee and Chubbs all joined the duo in their Georgia backyard for a ceremony.
A rowdy Cinco de Mayo BBQ followed.
June Shannon said of the family affair:
"The day was very special mostly because my girls were able to take part in it. I felt like it was important for them to see this moment and celebrate my love for Sugar Bear."
The fun-loving family, whose series returns to TLC July 17, said they didn't go over the top with the celebration, though it was reportedly taped for TV.
"My sister baked the cake, and we spent most of the money on barbecue," says June. "We stayed true to our roots and made the focus on the family."
"You can definitely plan an event on a budget!"
Married or not, June says she's found the secret to lifelong happiness:
"Never settle for a man who doesn't treat you right," she says. "If a guy doesn't love everything about you, move on! There are plenty of other fish in the sea."
"I give this advice to my daughters, too, because I always want them to be themselves and surround themselves with people who love them for them."
Congratulations to the whole Honey Boo Boo family!

I know this family is not conventional but I really respect their closeness and doing what makes them happy, despite judgment. If everyone in their family is safe and happy, I'm all for a camo gown or cozy BBQ fare at the wedding. HCHBB definitely started out - just like almost all TLC shows- as "check out these weird people", but I think, especially when you take away the pageant aspect of their lives, they can grow on you. You see the warmth and love in their lives and it makes you question convention, and I think that's a great thing. June said she wants her family to "be themselves and surround themselves" with loving, supportive people and I think that's an incredible message that many parents say and far less actually execute, because there comes a line for some people where "that's just too weird" or "don't you want to be like so-and-so?"

SOUND OFF: 12 Years, Bigger & Longer - The 2014 Oscars
by Pat Cerasaro - Mar 3, 2014 The 2014 Academy Awards telecast was lovely, lengthy and a generally low-key affair, filled with more than a few buzz-worthy moments worth a replay or two as well as some spectacular song sequences, too - as would be expected from two noted and similarly Oscar-winning producers Craig Zadan and Neil Meron. Ellen Degeneres delivered on the humor as expected, if not surpassing expectations in doing more than merely decently, whereas the winners themselves were generally smart and savvy choices, all said - 12 YEARS A SLAVE and DALLAS BUYER'S CLUB nabbing many top awards. Plus, FROZEN took home a well-earned trophy or two and its sensational lead Idina Menzel was responsible for not only the performance of the night - a Swarovski explosion of epic proportions, with vocals to match - but also the viral video, too, byway of John Travolta's unfortunate faux pas introduction mispronouncing the Broadway superstar's name. Oops, Oohs, Ahhs, and, well, OZ, the 2014 Oscars fulfilled its promise of entertaining, if perhaps overstaying its welcome - yet, who would want to sacrifice those fabulous speeches; or anything else, for that matter? Everyone got their moment - but maybe just a moment or two too many. (more...)

Posted By armstrong.j on 29 Sep 2010 09:00 AM Great suggestion! I have a question? I have attached hard baits like yours to swivels before, usually with a swivel and clip combo tied on straight to the main line or leader. I clip on and the bait usually ends up rolling on me on the retrieve. I assumed it was because of the swivel and quite this practice and always tie my hard baits on straight to the line (main or leader). When you put the swivel on do you have these problems? Something similar to your suggestion with the loop. I have from time to time for quick changes when I'm trying to find the right lure that will offer a strike, tie a surgeons loop on to the end of my leader, then I pull the loop half way through through U or split ring on the bait then loop it over the body of the bait and back up to the line. Then when I want to change I just pull enough slack back through the loop to slide it back over the body of the bait and out through the U or split ring. It's a been a good way to make quick changes on the go without having to re-tie a new lure all the time. Plus the added benefit I have gotten from it is the bait is not connected by a knot that can fail, but actually a continuous line looped through that has two points of contact on the lure and not just one at the knot that could fail. May be a false sense of security, but to me it seems that tensile strength of two points of continuous line is better that one point of knot. Thanks for the idea sb!
These are but a FEW of the ways that a person can attach a lure to a line. Great pics Bob In the end though...whichever way works for an individual angler is what that person will recommend to others.May not always be right....nor the BEST recommended method...but if it works for the fisher-person....who can argue?!?!
Posted By Pegsguy on 29 Sep 2010 09:07 AM Another effective way to attatch plugs to your line is to remove the split ring and use a small cross-loc snap (no swivel) such as the Berkley #1 snap. One of the editors at In-Fisherman is a big advocate of this and it has worked well for me. When selecting a snap, be sure and choose one that keeps the lure directly in line with the main line tie.

Junior Docent Program
New Recruit Adventure Day & Interviews
May 4, 2013
(Please call Amy Orchard at 520-883-3083 to register)
Applications due: April 15, 2013
Do you think the desert is a really "cool" place? Would you like to learn more about snakes, minerals or cactus and teach others what you know? If you are even just a little bit curious, then the Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum's Junior Docent program might be for you!
The Desert Museum Junior Docent program is designed for Tucson area boys and girls ages 13 to 18. Junior Docents receive training on the plants, animals and geology of the Sonoran Desert Region and how to interpret (teach) it to others. Desert Museum membership, special privileges and recognition, and the opportunity to help out with Museum events are just some of the benefits Junior Docents receive in addition to being part of a world famous museum!
Junior Docents are trained volunteers, between the ages of 13 and 18, whose major responsibility is to help Museum visitors better understand and appreciate the Sonoran Desert region. Recruitment for the 2-year program begins each spring but applications are accepted year-round. Applicants must be between 13 and 16 years of age.
Initial training classes for the Junior Docent Program begin in June and continue through September. Junior Docents meet at the Museum for six hours two Saturdays out of each month.
The classes, taught by Museum staff, focus on topics such as the flora and fauna of the region (with emphasis on desert adaptations and interrelationships), interpretive methods, and Museum philosophy. Training may include short excursions into the field and homework. Junior Docents are expected to attend all meetings.
The main responsibility of the Junior Docent is to present interpretive kits and live animals to our Museum visitors twice a month. Other activities include on-going training in interpretive kits, field trips, campouts, behind-the-scenes tours, and live animal encounters. On occasion Junior Docents will also be asked to volunteer for special Museum functions.
Duties and responsibilities increase during a Junior Docent's second year of involvement, which include mentoring of new Junior Docents and animal handling. All Junior Docents are expected to remain in the program for two years, after which they receive recognition at a graduation ceremony.
A new crew of Junior Docents are selected each year in May. However, applications are accepted year-round. Selection is based upon teacher recommendations, application and an interview. For an application and teacher recommendation form call (520) 883-3083 or download the forms from this site. One application (PDF) and two teacher recommendation forms are required for each applicant. Program cost is $100.00 per year, payable to the Desert Museum upon acceptance. Payment plans and a limited number of scholarships are available (call number above for info).

Tongue Problems (cont.)Medical Author:
Donna Bautista, DDS
Medical Editor:
William C. Shiel Jr., MD, FACP, FACR
William C. Shiel Jr., MD, FACP, FACRDr. Shiel received a Bachelor of Science degree with honors from the University of Notre Dame. There he was involved in research in radiation biology and received the Huisking Scholarship. After graduating from St. Louis University School of Medicine, he completed his Internal Medicine residency and Rheumatology fellowship at the University of California, Irvine. He is board-certified in Internal Medicine and Rheumatology. In this Article
TasteDysgeusia is the term used to describe the distortion of the sense of taste. Common causes of dysgeusia include medications, cancer therapy, dry mouth, gum disease, and common cold or flu. Cancer therapy that involves chemotherapy and radiation to the head and neck area can greatly affect taste. Radiation therapy can damage taste buds and salivary glands. Decreased flow of saliva causes a dry mouth and further compounds the problem. Cigarette smoking also can affect taste. If dysgeusia is due to a temporary condition, it should resolve once the cause is removed. Damage to taste buds through radiation therapy may require time for healing to occur. Taste may slowly return. However, this depends on the amount of damage from radiation therapy. Artificial saliva and zinc supplementation may help in restoring taste for some individuals. Tongue movementTongue movement problems are often caused by nerve damage (for example, post-stroke or post-surgery nerve damage). Limited tongue mobility can greatly affect our eating, swallowing, and speech. Depending on the extent of nerve damage, sometimes physical therapy may help in regaining control of the tongue. Ankyloglossia, also known as "tongue-tie," is a less common condition where a band of tissue that connects the tongue to the floor of the mouth is too short or tight and impedes tongue movement. Because the tongue is vital for sucking, infants with ankyloglossia may be unable to breastfeed properly. For toddlers and older children, sometimes the tongue is able to compensate, but ankyloglossia can affect speech as well. The treatment for ankyloglossia is a surgical treatment (frenulectomy) that relaxes the tight band of tissue that is restricting the tongue's movements.

Hospital blames Obamacare over layoffs
KSN.com, December 6, 2012
Nine nurses and supervisors were shown the door when they arrived for work at the South Central Kansas Medical Center on Monday after they were laid off. In a letter sent to all employees, administrators laid part of the blame for the cost cutting move on Obamacare. "With the Affordable Care Act being rolled out and many outside forces demanding accountability for improved outcomes and better systems for healthcare, we have to make changes or we will not survive," the letter reads. Seven of the laid off workers were full-time employees. One was part-time and the other was an on-call worker.

CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- A disabled man was robbed at his home on Walsh Lane in Mammoth today.
The man hired some men to come to his house and do work today, according to a Metro 911 dispatcher.
"When the male took out his wallet to pay the worker, the man stole his wallet," the dispatcher said. "The worst part is the man was disabled and couldn't use his legs," so he couldn't defend himself.
The men got into a vehicle and fled the scene.
The suspects were last seen leaving Kellys Creek in an older model Chevy pick-up truck painted red and white, with a little amount of blue in it, the dispatcher said.
Both suspects are described as white males in their 20s or 30s. One male is wearing a gray toboggan, a white sweatshirt and blue jeans.
The other is said to be wearing a tan Carhartt jacked, a tan hat and blue jeans
The Kanawha County Sheriff's Department is in charge of the investigation and is currently searching the area for the suspects.

Paramus lawyer testifies against Bergrin, a onetime mentor, in racketeering and murder trial
Paul W. Bergrin promised to make a "million-dollar lawyer" out of Thomas Moran in 2008, but first he would have to learn a few tricks, Moran testified Monday as Bergrin's murder and racketeering trial entered its sixth week in federal court in Newark.
Bergrin would visit clients and prospective clients in jail every Saturday and Sunday, smuggling in contraband, such as cigarettes and pornographic magazines, that they could use as jailhouse currency, Moran, of Paramus, testified. And he always asked incarcerated clients – many of them members of violent drug gangs – a key question.
"He would say, 'Can we get to the witnesses,' " Moran testified. " 'Is there someone, one of your affiliates, who can get to the witness and get him not to come to court?' "
Asked by Assistant U.S. Attorney John Gay to elaborate, Moran said the point was to use violence, or threats of violence, to force witnesses to recant.
"There is a criminal credo, or mindset, that there's no snitching, no cooperation," Moran said. "Snitches get stitches. Terminate on sight someone who gives a statement."
Moran spent just 30 minutes on the stand at the end of a long day of testimony in the six-week-old trial. But his statement, delivered with the poise and lawyerly turns of phrase that belied his nine years of courtroom experience, promises to play a key role in prosecutors' case against Bergrin, his former mentor.
Bergrin, 57, of Nutley, — a former federal and Essex County assistant prosecutor — is accused of plotting the murders of at least three witnesses against his drug clients, running a call-girl ring in New York and using his Newark law practice as a racketeering enterprise to traffic in multi-kilogram quantities of cocaine.
Moran appeared after several days of testimony about an alleged plot to kill a Mexican cartel underling known as Junior the Panamanian in order to protect one of Bergrin's clients, a former cocaine kingpin named Vicente Esteves.
Moran, who pleaded guilty in 2010, was allegedly tasked to get a gun for Oscar Cordova, a former Latin Kings gang member who was posing as a hit man in his role as a federal informant. Prosecutors said Bergrin recruited Cordova, who wore a wire to secretly record his conversations with Bergrin, to carry out a plot to murder several witnesses against Esteves.
Bergrin did not get a chance to question Moran on Monday.

Doing the right thing and being kind don't get you anywhere evidently, it just comes back to bite you in the ass in the long run. That's what I get trying. I allowed myself to be used and manipulated because I willingly overlooked the voice in my head that said this was a bad idea. I broke off something pretty great and instead went after a superficial, manipulative ***** only because of the fact that it would have made me look good in the eyes of some people, and I liked the idea of being superior...

The grapes for Root:1 are hand picked from two of Chile's most well known viticultural regions, Maipo and Colchagua. The wine is grown, harvested, blended, and bottled to create a balanced, fruit forward, expressive Cabernet true to the terroir of Chile's best viticultural regions.
(CHEE-lay) Long and thin, Chile has a lot of land north to south. The wine region here is a series of districts based near Santiago. The vineyards are protected by the Pacific on the west and the Andes mountains on the east. This could help explain why the climate changes more from east to west than north to south - also why the country has remained phylloxera free....Read More About Chile

CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- A bit of West Virginia history returned home Friday morning when contractors used a boom truck to guide a chunk of limestone into place beside the Huntington Banks Building in Charleston.
The intricately carved piece -- roughly a 3-foot cube -- once crowned one of the Ionic columns of the old Capitol Annex, which later became the Charleston Library and then the Kanawha County Public Library.
The building stood along Lee Street between Hale and Dickinson streets until its demise in 1967. When it was torn down, scavengers saved some of its best parts. You can find a few relics on the lawn of the University of Charleston, said local history buff Richard Andre.
Another piece wound up in the hands of Gene Jordon, the late real estate entrepreneur and antiques dealer. Jordon put it in the back yard of a house he owned on Quarrier Street, near Bradford Street.
"That was his office for a long time," said his son, George, who oversaw the moving of the relic Friday. "It's been near the alley behind 1413 [Quarrier] for at least 40 years. It's been used as a picnic table. Kids would sit around it. They put flowers on it."
Several years ago, at Andre's urging, members of the Kanawha Valley Historical and Preservation Society started rounding up pieces of the old Victorian state Capitol building and its Annex, which anchored the downtown more than a century ago.
They retrieved a rough-hewn capital (the architectural term for the top of a column) that had been lying, unmarked and nearly forgotten, near Daniel Boone Park, and gave it a new home in the Lee Street Triangle. Then they turned to the Annex.
Judging from old hand-colored postcards, the Annex must have rivaled the brick Capitol in grandeur. It stood three stories tall, topped by a dome, with twin curving stairways leading to an elevated entrance.
It was built in 1902, designed by Harrison Albright, the official state architect. Albright, a Philadelphia native, designed a number of structures across West Virginia -- a miner's hospital in Fairmont, an asylum in Huntington -- before earning greater fame in California.
The Annex housed a number of state agencies, including the auditor, treasurer, Supreme Court, state law library and Department of Archives and History. Its fireproof construction probably came in handy in 1921, when fire ravaged the Capitol across the street.
For an even longer period -- 1926 to 1966 -- the building served as the Charleston/Kanawha Public Library, and for a dozen years, it did double duty as home to Morris Harvey College (now the University of Charleston).
Seeking larger quarters, the library moved to Capitol Street and sold the Annex property to the National Bank of Commerce, which tore it down and built Commerce Square, the bank tower you see today. The National Bank of Commerce later merged with Huntington Banks.
Negotiations with Huntington Banks took far longer than expected, said Henry Battle, the society's president. The society ended up signing a multi-page agreement and buying liability insurance, he said.
A bank spokesman said he was aware of the project but had no comment.
