Citrine Healing Crystals properties & Crystal Meanings…
This Citrine page is part of the Crystal Meanings section from the Alizon's Psychic Secrets website full of fascinating information on subjects such as the Tarot, Psychic Abilities, the Seven Secrets, Chakras, Color meanings, Crystals, Herbal Lore, Wicca, Magic Spells and much much more…
Citrine as a power stone is said to increase courage, boost confidence and raise self-esteem. It is also said to draw wealth and unlimited prosperity.
Healing Properties
Citrine enhances the body's healing energy and is useful for balancing the energies and aligning the Chakras. It is linked with the Solar Plexus Chakra and can aid the digestive system and assisting treatment of digestive disorders.
It also opens the conscious mind to intuition and allows psychic abilities to be enhanced.
It is good for assisting with adjusting to the process of change and helps you feel confident and secure.
Magical Meanings
Citrine is connected with the Element of Fire and the direction of South and the planet of the Sun. Its Zodiac signs are that of Libra, Gemini, Aries and Leo. The Star Tarot card is also linked with this stone.
Magical purposes for use in rituals and Spell work associated with Citrine are dispersing accumulations of negative energy and transmuting it into positive energy. This then allows optimism, improved confidence and promotes creativity and helps with mental clarity and problem solving.
Its other main usage for magical workings is as a bringer of wealth, abundance and prosperity.
I use Citrine in the Spells I cast including my Prosperity Spells and Confidence Spells.
Spiritual Purposes
This stone is linked to the Solar Plexus Chakra so it stimulates both mental focus and endurance so is perfect for deep and lengthy meditations. It activates and energises both body and mind
For meditation purposes Citrine encourages individuality, self-confidence and courage. It is the 'Happy' stone so should be used by those who are feeling lost, depressed or grieving.
Myth, Legend and Folklore
The first occurrences of this gemstone being used by man was in Greece in the Hellenistic period for ornamental decorations on jewellery items.
The Romans also used it in their jewellery in intaglios (similar to cameos).
In ancient times, it was carried as a as a protective talisman against the plague, skin problems, snake bites, and evil thoughts.
Known as "The Merchant's Stone", this power stone is said to bring prosperity and draw wealth when placed in a purse, wallet or cash register.
Since it is reported to hold no negativity, it doesn't require cleansing or clearing.
Scientific Information
Citrine is any Quartz crystal or cluster that is yellow or orange in colour. It gets its name from the French word for lemon 'citron'. Citrine crystals can form together with Amethyst or Smoky Quartz to form a bi-coloured quartz named Ametrine. Found in its natural state it is often cut as a gemstone, but natural Citrine is actually rare. It has a hardness of 7.
It is mainly mined in Brazil, Russia, France and Madagascar.

I think you'll find that it is right! Have you tried to play it?
Hey guys and girls,
I have an iso of a game (mario). When I copy the file to Hdd using wii backup manager the file shrinks from 4.7 gb to 300 mb. Obviously this is not right and i was wondering if there is an easy fix or i just need to re obtain the image?
I think you'll find that it is right! Have you tried to play it?
I have games that are less than that. Have you tried the game to see if it works?
Sent from my HTC Desire Android using WiiHacks
Actualy I just played it and it works!!!! How is this possible? Are nintendo using fake tracks or somthing like the old ps1 copy protection methods? Also, I have Supoer smash brothers brawl but when I copy it to HDD, it gets to %100 percent, says its finished. But then there is nothing on the drive. Is my file corrupt? :-(
Most games are just filled with junk data which gets removed when ripping to HDD!
Are you using your original SSBB to rip to HDD?
Not original..naughty.
Ahh....Yes that is naughty! If you've read the forum rules, you would see that piracy is not
supported here at WiiHacks, and you won't receive anymore help with this question.
Sorry, but thread closed!

Easter 100 egg huntLogin to add to your tracker
Celebrate Easter and WAGGGS by having a 100 Egg Hunt (or other object). Try hiding different kinds of eggs such as the fillable plastic kind, ornamental, candy, hard boiled or other.
This idea can also be used with other objects such as patches, or symbols special to your troop. You could even keep a running total of GeoCaches you have found till you reach 100 or count a certain type of object each time you see it like street signs with the letter of WAGGGS in them.
Have fun and happy hunting!

Ok so before I start posting Malena's pics, I thought it'd be a good idea to write a few words about her first.
Malena Morgan was born on June 23, 1991 in the United States. Her eyes are blue and the natural colour of her hair is brown. She's 5'8″ high and weights 114 lbs. Her measurements are: 34C-25-34.
Malena has taken the net by storm and has already appeared on the major "babe" websites including: Twistys (where she was chosen as a Treat of the Month September 2011), FTV girls, Little Mutt, She's a Freak, X-ART, Vip Area and many others which I don't remember right now.
Currently, there's no wikipedia article about her, Im thinking about writing one.
If you're looking for her Twitter , it's here.

Girl Scouts Provide Tech Savvy Ways to Locate Favorite Cookies
What are your favorite kinds of Girl Scout cookies? Everyone seems to have an opinion about whether they prefer Thin Mints, Samoas, Tagalongs, classic Trefoils, Do Si Dos, or one of the newer varieties like Savannah Smiles and Thank U Berry Munch but did you know that the $790 million dollar cookie program goes beyond supporting local troops and the experience of selling to teaching life long skills?
Girl Scout Cookie sales have provided leadership skills to over 59 million women across the country and Friday, February 8 is National Girl Scout Cookie Day, a day that honors the many skills that this youth-based program teaches. Girls in kindergarten through high school learn 5 essential skills as they learn to set goals, make decisions, manage money, interact with others, and ethical business practices.
If talking about Girl Scout cookies makes you crave a Samoa or Thin Mint, the tech savvy organization has multiple ways customers can find their favorite cookie by providing information about local cookie sales. Download the free Girl Scout Cookie Finder App for iPhone or Android or visit the Official Girl Scout Cookie Finder to buy or order cookies from a local Girl Scout.
In honor of today being National Girl Scout Cookie Day, New York City residents who want to get out of the house before the blizzard hits should stop at the pop-up" cookie shops to stock up on favorite treats. Sweetery NYC Food Truck, Zagat's #1 rated New York City food truck and mobile bakery will be in select areas during the day. Check the route of the Girl Scout Cookie Truck as it makes its way through Manhattan for your cookie fix.Add a Comment

I use this to mainly flavor the water I put my mixed m.s.m & glucosamine-chrondroitin in- as the msm can be somewhat bitter. Also its a good flavor if you have hard water.This is all so far but I plan to try it in other things.

We like it!

Good flavor - light but still tastes like grape. The kids like it and it's a good value.

i have farmers but usually big insurance businesses are really fast at working.
When i called farmers the next day they had an agent come out and write a check.
You should keep calling. Insist that you need transportation.
Was this answer helpful to you?
I was in an accident friday afternoon and by the time I was able to call Allstate it was about 8:00 p.m.
Good, that seems to indicate you contacted your agent, and reported the accident. Of course it is going to take some time for the adjuster to gather up all the information, and a day or so before the police report is ready.
My car is def. totaled just by looking at it. I was not in the wrong but the other driver also had allstate
Only the adjuster can determine whether or not your car is a total, you aren't qualified to make that decision. I've been in the towing business for years, and occasionally *I* even guess wrong. You'll have to wait until they have accomplished all they need to do and send out the adjuster. In the mean time you can probably get a rental if you need one. Even though the other party has the same parent company, Allstate, it doesn't mean they have the same policy or agent. It does help somewhat that Allstate is talking to themselves, it could speed things up.
How long should it take before they inspect my vehicle, process all the information, do what they have to do?
As long as it takes, see the first answer for that discussion.
How long before i get my money to buy a new car????
Never. Just because you had an accident doesn't mean anyone is going to buy you a new car. If you're found not at fault, you will be compensated for your loss. If it's economically feasible, they will fix your car, if not they will total it, and give you fair market value for it, adjusted for condition. And you will only get that assuming their isn't a lien holder on the car. If there is, the lien holder has first claim on any compensation you receive. If that amount is less than what you owe, you will have to make up the shortfall unless you have GAP insurance in place that would make that up in the case of a total loss. If that amount is more than what you owe, it will eventually reach you, but not be enough to buy a new car in any case.
If you have any questions, the person best equipped to answer will be your own agent. I do wish you well.

Nate W
You should get a call today from an adjuster. They will want to set up a time to look at the car. Once they have inspected the car and they decide the car will cost to fix than it is worth, they will usually offer you a check right there on the spot. They should also provide you with a rental car in the meantime.

This year HUCK magazine have been on a bit of an adventure, hunting down the men and women of surf and skate who make their living with their own two hands; stitching, shaping, whittling and painting until they've got a final product that's like nothing else out there. The project is titled The Working Artisans Club and currently consists of a handful of videos that go behind the scenes with a small selection of these talented folks.
Woo! Hanly Banks has put all her photos online! If you don't know Hanly's work, she's the girl who managed to single-handedly track down mysterious dreamboat Bill Callahan and make a tour film about him, which subsequently got screened worldwide (as featured in our Printed Pages Spring issue). Her style is laidback, polite and slow, making for some emotional and thoughtful filmmaking. Her collection of snaps are no different. Taken casually with not even a tiny hint of pretension, this is a wonderful collection of images that records the travelling Hanly has done in the past few years, making films, driving and making friends with members of the general public all over America.
"The station's got a new floor, and the motorway runs by the door…and you know just where you're headin', it's equidistant between London and Reading." Yep, that's right, The Office's David Brent is BACK and he's giving us guitar lessons. The best thing about this series (apart from hanging out with David Brent again) is its simplicity. David sits against a black backdrop, plays guitar and chats to the audience about, well, his general arrogant bullshit. It just goes to show that you don't need a million quid and 400 PR people to make a seriously successful series of short, internet-based videos.
How about we take your local peeping Tom, and raise you a peeping Jack Taylor? This freshly graduated Kingston student has made a beautiful book called Lost about the close proximity of urban dwellings. Reflecting thoughtfully and with his tongue firmly in his cheek on the window-gazing, neighbour-watching, semi-voyeuristic habits you can fall into without even realising when you live in a small flat in a big city (guilty), Jack's cheeky risograph prints give a glimpse of what might be going on inside, leaving the viewer to construct their own narratives about what the characters might be up to. We can't wait to see what Jack has coming up next.
Claiming the brief burst of sunshine that follows months of London's torrential rain as her inspiration (ah, aren't we all?) Finnish illustrator Annu Kilpelainen makes work that pulls vibrant patterns from otherwise drab urban landscapes, and abstracts them into images so tropical they look like you could wring a piña colada out of them. Her way with colours, juxtaposing thick brights with the intricate detail of a woven shopping bag, is a proper visual treat that only those longing for summer in a bipolar climate can properly understand. Stare at these for too long and before you know it you'll have dived into the nearest American Apparel and emerged dripping in floral prints ready for a Caribbean street party. Just make sure you bring a brolly so your colours don't run.
It's no secret that we're big fans of Jamie Hawkesworth, and it's probably because he's one of the only men on the planet who can make Preston Bus Station look genuinely appealing. For those of you who haven't actually been to the iconic bus station, it's worth a quick Google search. It's huge, wave-like outer walls are now a little stained, but still reek of the hope for the aspiring area when it was built back in 1969. As with most ugly-but-eye-catching buildings in the UK, this bus station has become a national treasure yet it is sadly being demolished next year.
This very smart set of posters was created by the Aesop agency for an event in London last weekend which saw a corner of Soho turned into Little Italy for a couple of days.

This feisty little girl's just started surfing the crimson wave of puberty at her summer camp. Luckily for her, she's the first girl at camp to get her period, so she becomes something of a coach, nay dictator, among her naive peers as they all start their periods too. "For these campers, I was their Joan of Arc…I'm Joan, and their vaj is the Arc…"
It doesn't take a keen eye to know that Emily Maye is seriously adept at capturing the pure thrill of cycling with her meticulous photographs, nor is it hard to believe that she keeps on improving with each new series she produces; whether it's road racing or cyclocross Emily documents the atmosphere of the event majestically. What is hard to believe is that she's only just shot her very first Tour De France – though it was the centenary of the event, so that's a pretty special honour in itself.
Press images from events gone by tend to be pretty bland. Not only is the event over but the images documenting it can very rarely convey the level of excitement or fun a place had to offer. That was, until, Secret Cinema put on their spectacular Laura Marling event and actually got the job done properly. Not just properly, magnificently! The top-secret event was held in a beautiful old red brick school in London, decked from the insides out with ivy and old props transforming it into The Grand Eagle Hotel.
This month west London-based design studio Two Times Elliott turned five and naturally felt some kind of celebration was in order. To ensure that the event passed with an appropriate amount of revelry, they commissioned 22 design studios to produce prints based on the number two. Friends from far and wide, including Colophon, Hyperkit, Studio Makgill and Hort, all produced a unique screen print that was hand-pulled by Thomas Murphy and displayed last Thursday in a one-off show. If you couldn't make it down for a slice of the action the prints are now for sale online with proceeds going to Cancer Research UK. If only all fifth birthdays were so well-planned.
Isabel Greenberg already proved her admirable illustrative skill with Love in a Very Cold Climate, so it came as no real surprise that the sequel, graphic novel The Encyclopedia of Early Earth is a beautiful and enchanting successor. Luring you into folkloric fantasy world that dances halfway between where the Aurora Borealis hangs over the Antarctic and the strange place between a deep sleep and being awoken, Isobel's storytelling counters the icy cold of her chosen land, Britanitarka, with the persistent warmth of tales about bickering gods, ancient battles, mystical happenings and human sentiment.
Do you ever get that feeling when you go to the RCA that you can actually hear the collective humming of people's brains? The fruits of that brain juice (if you will) is here; the lovechild publication of the 2013 graduating students of MA Critical Writing in Art & Design. After Butler's Wharf is a fascinating collection of essays, photographs and extensive research and critical writing about a landmark London building near Tower Bridge.
If you check out Jiro's London flat on this recent edition of The Selby, you'll see kitsch objects, weird art, ethnic rugs and enviable clutter EVERYwhere. One look at this floor-to-ceiling mass of artistic and hilarious memorabilia was enough that we presumed a very meaty bookshelf. We weren't wrong. Jiro's selection is full of rare and exciting tomes that he's picked up throughout his life. Aside from the way he's photographed his books – which could be one of the best examples ever, perhaps save Jaimie Warren – what we love about Jiro's selection is his insightful description for each one.
Not being either a super-rich investment banker (yet) or a footballer's wife (yet) I don''t really go to Mayfair that often – I find more prosaic ways of feeling poor and rejected like when my travel card gets rejected on the bus. But if anything was going to tempt me in to that weird otherworld of high end boutiques and art galleries that don't seem to want anyone in them, it would be this beautiful work from Ico Design for new Mayfair development The Mellier.
I never really went in for drama lessons at school, but something tells me that if it had been Mkgk and Raw Color telling me to "imagine you're a tree" instead of Mrs Hawkswell in a fusty room at the back of the drama department, my thespian career might have spanned a little longer.
They say good cameras don't necessarily always get you good results, but in this case I think we can definitely say they do. Using only a very good macro lens and some vibrant ink, artist Ruslan Khasanov has created this terrifyingly hypnotic short film. With the magic combination of what looks like hundreds-and-thousands among jelly-ish blobs of rainbow liquid, he beckons your eyeballs in to his world, which is cleverly soundtracked by someone called Boris Blank. Boris' rather tense, ominous music combined with Ruslan's candy colours makes for a very strange couple of minutes indeed. Enjoy!
You're probably already wondering how this post is going to pan out, what an article mentioning panty liners in the headline could possibly do for you. But we'll level with you; we know you designers like a challenge, and that's exactly what's on offer here.
When he spoke at our Here conference earlier this summer, Rafaël Rozendaal gave us a fascinating insight into how his online artwork now spills over into physical spaces and the interesting dialogue that throws up. Not content with exploring his practice in the context of an exhibition, Rafael has now been documented in print form as well, as part of designer Philippe Karrer's Spheres series. Each issue of Spheres is: "dedicated to a young artist and their work…exploring character, surroundings, everyday life, inspirations and ideas using unconventional innovative formats so as to create a different, more visual approach and understanding of the artist and his or her work."
He's a tad mysterious but Alex Sullivan's bold graphic design suggests he's a pretty fun man. Judging by the fact that most of his designs are for lo-fi films, underground music and record labels, we can almost guarantee that Alex is quite cool, which is pretty refreshing seeing as a lot of the time people who design stuff for labels and indie films can be a tad pretentious. None of that over here though; his pieces are a perfect blend of retro-inspired, well-informed graphic design that we loved the minute we saw it. His series for City Bass in particular is a very, very impressive.
Dutch designer Lex Pott has a product design practice that's intuitive in its logic, making use of natural processes, historic traditions and happenstance to inform the conceptual backbone of his physical projects. He's fashioned jewellery from coins, intentionally tarnished mirrors for aesthetic purposes and even, most impressively, created furniture that's reliant upon the oxidisation of its component materials.
Stop, stare and enjoy folks, because this is about as close as you're ever likely to get to a luxury yacht – unless you clean one for a living, pilot them on summer charters or you're an oligarch; all of which seem unlikely. Master of crisp, technical imagery Benedict Redgrove has done all the negotiating, blagging and (naturally) polished camerawork to capture this beautiful aquatic beast in construction so that you – humble bicycle rider and potentially (if you're lucky) future car owner – can gawp at a luxuriously-crafted plaything for the rich and famous without having to lift a finger.
There's something about true craftsmanship that is completely timeless – even or perhaps especially in the midst of our digital age – and Tomáš Libertíny is an admirable pioneer or exactly this kind of practice. His 2007 sculpture The Paper Vase is an oldie but a goodie; by gluing together hundreds upon hundreds of sheets of paper, compressing them into a huge, solid block and then sculpting them, he fashions a lovely white vase out of what had previously been writing paper. Even better, he filmed himself doing it, creating an awe-inspiring, almost trance-inducing clip so that you can watch his process. I especially like the stray wisp of discarded paper which is stuck to Tomáš' hat as he holds his vase up proudly at the end.
Before you laugh, this isn't just some stupid internet-friendly cats Photoshopped on to rice, it's much more than that. Neko-Sushi is "an extremely unusual life-form" the website tells us, "although several references have come down to us through history from various researchers and witnesses, their existence is still shrouded in mystery and actual sightings remain rare."
Now it's not what you think, nobody has thrown their hole-punch from their desk in a fit of stationery-centred pique; Kelly Kristin Jones' circular collage studies are far more interesting than that. Her new project Skinned takes a look at the distribution and representation of various skin tones and colours in print media. By cutting a circle from each skin tone featured in both the adverts and content of popular women's magazines – with the size of the circle to corresponding to the size of the body or body part featured – Kelly remaps the way the media views race and skin colour. The intriguing collages which result from this experiment offer a new perspective on the representation of who is included and what is beautiful in popular media, setting a match to the quietly smouldering debate about racial prejudice and inclusivity with a series of curiously beautiful images.
In an overwhelming ocean of fashion photography full of carefully polished pretty girls taking care not to dirty their clothes, French photographer Fanny Latour-Lambert's work is like a little wooden fishing boat bobbing happily along doing its own thing. Her careful combination of models who look like actual people getting a bit grubby and trying to catch rain in their mouths, in places that are neither urban and gritty nor fairytale dreamworlds, explains exactly why the super young and very talented photographer has already been published in Vogue Italia, L'Officiel Hommes and i-D. She might well be treading a delicate line between styling, direction and seemingly improvised brilliance, but she is doing it it with aplomb.
Earlier this month It's Nice That director Will Hudson went on a week-long coding course with our friends at Steer. Here's how he got on…
Monday morning can be a tricky little blighter. Are you one of those people who springs out of bed ready to seize the week ahead and all it has to offer? Or do you stare disbelievingly at your treacherous alarm clock and wonder where the heck the weekend went? Either way, we've got your back by way of our brand new weekly feature A Week On Monday. We're going to kick off each week by talking to a creative we admire about what their next seven days has in store, and we're kicking off AWOM (as all the cool kids will soon be calling it) with photographer Nick Ballon.
For most creatives (whether they admit it publicly or not) there's a frisson of pride and excitement at seeing their name on blogs, in print or in vinyl on a gallery's window. But others genuinely seem to shun the limelight, such as the man or woman known simply as A Graphic Artist. There's scant information on his/her website, and unsurprisingly a Google search bears little fruit. Anyway this enigma produces some really interesting work – not just vector illustrations and GIFs – but also an excellent new series of collages made from cut coloured paper and black crepe tape. In an email to me that wasted few words, the artist explained: "The artwork takes on a physical process, no longer a gestural mark; by applying cut paper the image becomes a constructive collage." And if the form is unusual, the scenes themselves are intriguing too, with a certain film noir, Charles Bukowski vibe of snatched moments and quiet, sexy sadness.
Before we begin, let's take a moment to briefly remind ourselves of how good the Pokemon opening credits were. Well, while we're here we may as well watch the Sailor Moon ones as well. Ok, so we came across the work of Donguri Kyouwakoku on Haw-Lin recently and were blown away. His style is totally 1980s lunchboxes, Saturday morning cartoons and comic books. There's even a touch of Betty and Veronica in there too. This may not be for everyone, but for me these kind of clean, youthful cartoons provide a certain level of aesthetic pleasure that no other illustration can quite match.
Life's cool if you're in Tyler's gang. Riding round in cars wearing fancy dress, getting wasted, playing with cats and dogs, spending hours in sun-drenched skateparks. You'd think that if they were having this much fun they wouldn't have time to blog but nope – they bloody do! The gang is from LA and call themselves OFWGKTA which stands for Odd Future Wolf Gang Kill Them All. Despite showing off their relatively give-no-shits leisure time, they're actually all very hardworking boys with record labels, clothing labels and every other kind of label you can think of. Add some applaudable photography skills into the mix and you've got a very powerful bunch indeed.
The contribution of plastic bags to my emotional development has been limited at best. Oh, sure, I got a bit misty-eyed about that one blowing around the empty street in American Beauty (who didn't?) but other than that they've been a largely pragmatic part of my life… until now. Back in 2005, creative agency Mother launched a range of Uncarriable Bags adorned with embarrassing motifs and they've just launched a second range "to make people think about plastic bags in 2013."
I always found zoos a soberingly disappointing affair as a child. Not only did you see first hand that these animals were actually couped up in cupboard-sized pens, but also you could never get the view you wanted. Being less than six feet tall always made trying to see some monkey magic or spontaneous penguin cuteness an impossibility so my thanks go out to Kate Moross for creating this beauty for Washed Out and perfectly summing up THE zoo view I always wanted. Personal childhood angst over, now go and let those
colour-rich close ups erode the bad times.
This week two healthy and quite well-off young people gave birth to a baby boy – and the WHOLE WORLD lost their sh*t! Nah we're not trying to be edgy good on them – producing a king is pretty cool. But quick thing Twitter, ALL the jokes have now been done. Yep that one. And that one. That one is days old now. That one doesn't make sense. Oh wait because heir sounds a bit like hair? Yeah done. So at ease online wags, let's all just look ahead to two glorious days of revelry…
"It's the only tool that will stop time," quips one of the photographers in this trailer, and I don't think anything has made me want to pick up a camera more than that. The trailer itself is for documentary Everybody Street, which is made up of stills and interviews revealing the darkness and the joy seen through the lens of some of the world's most famous street photographers.
Much of the cultural world's attention will be focussed on Edinburgh and its famous festival over the coming weeks but it's no secret that Glasgow is really where cutting-edge creativity shines in Scotland. Now Talenthouse and O2 are offering young artists, illustrators, designers and graffiti artists a cool opportunity to create an original piece of work to take pride of place at the city's O2 Academy, one of Glasgow's most popular live music venues which is celebrating the tenth anniversary of its relaunch this year.
Hmm. That's odd. I thought these were real people living inside my disgustingly large screen. Oh wait, these are PAINTINGS created by artist Kang, Kang-hoon. What I don't get about this sort of thing (apart from why hasn't Kang, Kang-hoon been awarded some sort of lifetime achievement award) is why haven't camera manufacturers just given up? You can imagine the big dogs at Leica seeing this and doing that thing when you brush everything off a desk in one swoop and storming out yelling "That's it!" in rage. Because Kang, Kang-hoon is obviously some sort of human camera and we should be afraid, very afraid.
We're always interested to see what the fine folks over at viction:ary are up to and almost every new release tickles our fancy. Their latest title Just Kidding is themed around play and its creative potential, featuring 100 design and art projects in an A-Z format "infused with the essence of play." With the likes of Jean Jullien, Damien Poulain and Torafu Architects included, the book's charm lies relies not only on the kind of work showcased within but also on the sheer breadth on display. This gives readers a really eclectic sense of how this intrinsic and very powerful urge to play can be manifested across so many different projects, from lighting to footwear, architecture to home furnishings.

...a couple staffers had been armed?
Views: 8454
Replies are closed for this discussion.
k - you left out the Kardashians --
"It's the fucking system that breeds these people."
What system is that? The school system?
Society in general.
Which is changeable.
I don't know the answer to that. I suspect it depends on what particular subculture you are in.
It would be useful, I think, to break down that vaunted 9000+ homicides figure by various demographic factors. It may well be that some segments of society have rates down in the sort of range Blaine's poster from a couple pages back would consider acceptable.
As has been pointed out before, the mere presence of guns is not the issue; I point to Switzerland, and I also remind people of what Cody said (a few hours ago but a couple of pages down), that within the US the states and locales with the strictest gun laws tend to be the ones with the most crime, both firearm related and not.
States with stricter gun control laws have fewer deaths from gun-related violence.
Last year, economist Richard Florida dove deep into the correlations between gun deaths and other kinds of social indicators. Some of what he found was, perhaps, unexpected: Higher populations, more stress, more immigrants, and more mental illness were not correlated with more deaths from gun violence. But one thing he found was, perhaps, perfectly predictable: States with tighter gun control laws appear to have fewer gun-related deaths. The disclaimer here is that correlation is not causation. But correlations can be suggestive:
"The map overlays the map of firearm deaths above with gun control restrictions by state," explains Florida. "It highlights states which have one of three gun control restrictions in place – assault weapons' bans, trigger locks, or safe storage requirements. Firearm deaths are significantly lower in states with stricter gun control legislation. Though the sample sizes are small, we find substantial negative correlations between firearm deaths and states that ban assault weapons (-.45), require trigger locks (-.42), and mandate safe storage requirements for guns (-.48)."
Because the real issue is total crime, not gun related crime.
But the real question is, do states with looser firearms laws have lower or higher overall crime rates? The pro-gun thesis is that allowing ordinary citizens to have firearms reduces crime overall.
There was no firearms related crime in the 11th century. But there was plenty of violence and mayhem.
The fallacy behind this sort of statistic is the assumption that the citizens of all states are homogeneously similar, but everyone knows that the typical Texan is far from identical to, say, a New Hampshireite. Studies based on "states with" have to find some way of accounting for that and I've never seen that done. Have you?
The fact that "Firearm deaths are significantly lower in states with stricter gun control legislation" means little unless you can disentangle the statistics from the fact that (to cite the map above) Californians aren't North Carolinians, for example.
I wonder about correlations with other population density, income, poverty rates, drug use, employment, etc?
I'm sure that liberalizing drug laws (only beginning to happen in the U.S.) and treating drug abuse as an illness instead of a crime would help a lot.
But what about the guy selling the drugs?
If the drugs became legal, the thugs who presently control their distribution today would have to find other work. So would the more casual sellers who perhaps have never committed a violent act in their lives.
People who deal drugs are the last ones who want them to become legalized; they would find their merchandise much less valuable.
I'd personally like to see full pardons for anyone whose "crime" was purely using drugs and maybe even selling them--but any sort of violent crime related to the business should never be pardoned.

WSOF 2 Results: Burkman Wants Title Shot After KO of Simpson | MMA News
Josh Burkman is now two-for-two with the World Series of Fighting and he hopes that leads to something special in his next fight.
Burkman (25-9) used a right knee to knock out Aaron Simpson (14-5) in the first round in a battle of veteran lightweights at World Series of Fighting 2 on Saturday.
Burkman, fighting out of Salt Lake City, also defeated Gerald Harris at WSOF 1 in November. He could be in line to face the WSOF's latest signing, Jon Fitch, but he wants something more.
"I think I deserve a title fight," Burkman said. "I beat Harris and Simpson, two of the best guys outside the UFC. I think Jon Fitch needs to earn his title shot."
"The People's Warrior" caught Simpson with a right hand that hurt him, and then added a combination that backed him up. Then came the big right knee, which landed flush. The end came at 3:04.
Burkman said he thought he would have to cancel the fight a week ago due to an injury, but his wife came up with a home remedy that helped heal him.
"I had a great training camp," he said. "I never really stopped training after my fight with Harris."
One Response to "WSOF 2 Results: Burkman Wants Title Shot After KO of Simpson | MMA News"
This guys composure is crazy. Athletic dude that had more to give too he just didnt have a chance. To handle ATrain like that is impressive. He looked like a ninja on Xanax. I've always liked him but that was sweet.

Mom, new husband wanted in sons' alleged kidnappings
Lone Star Fugitive Task Force now on the case
SAN ANTONIO - The U.S. Marshals Service's Lone Star Fugitive Task Force is trying to locate two young brothers allegedly kidnapped over the weekend by their mother and her new husband.
Its spokesman said their role is locate people, but he could not get into their possible whereabouts.
The missing boys are identified as 3-year-old William Sage Walker and his 6-year-old brother, Thomas Darwin Walker.
The suspects are their mother, Brandy Romano, and her new husband, Raymond Grant Romano.
Tom Walker, the boys' father, said his divorce was amicable and he and his ex-wife had a shared custody arrangement that seemed to be working.
However, Walker (pictured below with the boys) said he became concerned when their mother wanted to take their sons out of the country on vacation.
"I didn't want them leaving the country because I was afraid she would not come back with them," Walker said.
He said his belief was based on different reasons, nothing concrete.
Walker said, "It was just am uneasy feeling I had."
He said his attorney was able to get a court order to stop them.
Walker said she was served the court order a week ago.
He said when he went pick up the children Sunday at their grandmother's house at the end of a weekend visit, the couple and the boys were gone.
"Please come home. Bring the boys back," Walker said as a message to their mother, a schoolteacher. "'You know this is not smart. You're giving up your career. You're not going to see your family if you continue this."
Walker said the couple was last seen driving a 2005 Kia Sedona, Texas plates BDV 9751.
A spokeswoman for SAPD said an Amber Alert was never issued because it began as a custodial issue.

SANTA CRUZ, TEXAS (Duval County). Santa Cruz is on Farm Road 1329 and Los Olmos Creek, twenty-five miles south of San Diego in southeastern Duval County. It was named for the Santa Cruz de Concepción land grant. In 1906 a post office was established with Crescencio Leal as postmaster, and that year nineteen pupils attended the Santa Cruz school. Santa Cruz had a general store in 1914, and by the mid-1930s it consisted of three businesses and an estimated population of 100. In 1947 the town had one business. During the late 1960s the Santa Cruz school was consolidated into the Premont Independent School District. At that time the town consisted of scattered dwellings and two cemeteries. By 1990 the Santa Cruz and Gonzales cemeteries were all that remained of the community.

Book Review
From Russia With Love
A book about the Ballets Russes
reviewed by Renee Renouf
The National Gallery of Australia, Roger Leong, curator:
For fans of the Ballets Russes tradition and history, this is a must have!
The splendor of the catalog is enhanced by the concept of the exhibition itself. Each costume displayed was augmented by a costume design of the same ballet and a photograph of one of the principal dancers, wearing the same costume where possible. Set designs were included if they were available. Therefore, short of film or the dancers themselves, a visitor to the exhibition could enter into a time warp. With imagination and the aid of these objects the viewer could be projected into the original production. The catalog also included close ups of certain costumes which indicated the care and thoroughness with which the designs had been realized and the high level of workmanship of the costumers and seamstresses.
Costumes depicted came from ballets noted and obscure: Prince Igor; Thamar; Carnival ; Firebird; Cleopatre; Le Sacre du Printemps; Petrushka; Le Dieu Bleu; Sadko; Ode; Le Bal; Daphnis et Chloe; Le Chant du Rossignol; Narcisse; Le Coq dOr; L'Apres Midi dun Faune; Chout; Scheherazade; the 1921 production of The Sleeping Princess; Les Presages. It is an extraordinary visual feast, gourmandaise in its extent.
The impact of the catalog continues with essays by: Roger Leong on the collections background; Natalia Metelista, Head of Research and International Relations, St. Petersburg State Museum of Theatre and Music; the late Nancy Van Norman Baer, Curator, Theater and Dance Collection, The Fine Arts Museum of San Francisco; Dr. Lynn Garafola, author of a definitive study of Diaghilevs Ballets Russe published by Oxford University Press; Sarah Woodcock, Research Assistant, Theatre Museum, Victoria and Albert Museum, London; Dr. Michelle Potter, author, editor and Manager of the Keep Dancing Project, National Film and Sound Archive, Australia.
From Russia With Love will absorb you every time you turn a page.

Below is the poem entitled Tyndall's Grey which was written by poet
Roy. Please feel free to comment on this poem. However, please remember, PoetrySoup is a place of encouragement and growth.
Read Poems by
Iman Roy
The chameleon shuddered profusely,
It had never climbed to the top of a sky scraper before,
The melanin refused to scatter,
It could not make up its mind:
To take after the blue of the sky?
Or to be grey...
Every morning it felt the sunshine gold,
Caressing the slippery unevenness
Like the first waterfall down a nascent hill,
Stealthily through promenades,
And shrieking ladies on the way,
It reached the flies' humdrum festival
On a gloomy velvet cynosure of rejection from the other world.
That day, from the branch it saw the reflection of serenity,
And while it slithered through coffee machine conversations,
Geriatric glasses emanating dismay,
Fervid love affairs,
And lonely, revamped furniture
It reached the zenith of monotone,
Yet either of the eyes revolved unheeding cadence.
The journey had been iridescent,
And the Wind was colourless,
So even though it swayed in harmony with Her,
It didn't know what to be...
And it didn't know how to sprinkle white,
If mimicked the sky,
And so it became grey again,
Like on the trees,
And every dawn.

A Simple Heart Test for Newborns
One in 100 newborns has a malformed heart. It's the most common birth defect. Now, a federal advisory panel recommends a simple and painless test for all newborns to detect such defects before the babies are released from the hospital.
Pulse oximetry measures the amount of oxygen in the blood via a small light sensor taped to a baby's wrist, hand or foot. It's inexpensive ($5-$10), fast (five minutes) and can detect a life-threatening condition otherwise difficult to find in a physical exam. An infant's cardiovascular system might appear normal in the first few days after birth, even though it continues to mature.
According to WebMD, only two states -- Maryland and New Jersey -- legally mandate the test. Some hospitals elsewhere do it voluntarily, but it's not in widespread use.
The federal panel's advice has been endorsed by the American College of Cardiology, the American Heart Association and the American Academy of Pediatrics.
If you're expecting, and you don't live in Maryland or New Jersey, make sure your hospital knows you want the test to be performed before your bring junior home. The chances of heart problems are low, but it's better know if there is one -- and to address it -- before it presents far from where it can be treated.

When contemporary composer Yoomi Paick writes music, she begins it the old-school way with a pencil, eraser and lots of blank sheet paper.
The Tennessee Tech University music professor's classic ways may have helped her write a piece to premiere with the Romantic program set for the New York Classical Players' most recent concert in New York City.
The premiere was Paick's first in New York. The Classical Players is a professional chamber orchestra dedicated to bringing free classical concerts to the public. Its performers are all younger musicians at the beginning of their careers.
"People think contemporary music is always hard and it's always strange, so the Classical Players commission new composers to narrow that gap," said Paick, who teaches aural technique and music appreciation at TTU. "When you're sitting there, listening to your piece being performed, it's exciting but you're nervous too."
The Classical Players commissioned the piece, "Sudden Path," for a string ensemble. Paick has also written solos for performers and ensembles at TTU. She also serves as an accompanist for TTU's concert choir.
Classical Players called Paick "a brilliant young composer." The group put on two performances of the concert that included "Sudden Path," one in the Bronx and another in Manhattan earlier this month.
Another of her compositions will premiere in January at her alma mater, Indiana University. In February, she will rejoin the Classical Players to arrange their next concert.

Transferring Heat
Transferring Heat
The body cools itself using one of the following methods to transfer heat:
- Evaporation (sweating). This method is important when the air is warmer than 20°C (68°F). Evaporation during strenuous exercise helps the body lose most of the excess heat produced by the activity. Sweating is not as effective in a humid environment. Sweat that drips off the body does not transfer as much heat away from the body as sweat that evaporates from the skin.
- Radiation (similar to heat leaving a wood stove). This occurs when the air temperature is lower than body temperature. Radiation helps cool the body but is less effective when the air is warmer.
- Conduction (such as sleeping on cold ground or swimming in cool water). Cool air does not help the body cool very quickly. But the body can quickly lose heat when it is exposed to cool water.
- Convection (such as sitting in front of a fan or standing in the wind). Convection helps cool the body but is less effective when the air is warmer.

To the committee members,
I am adding my voice – as a freelance writer – to the debate around Canadian copyright law.
I work fulltime as a freelance writer and – even though I am one of the more "successful" ones – am currently compensated at a level well below the official poverty line. It has been this way for all of the creative arts for much too long. There is not a week that goes by where I don't do an online search of my name and find websites and publications that have used my material without contacting me or compensating me. And I am certain that it happens ten-fold over what I discover through a simple online search.
Here is the basic message I would like to pass along to the committee: I work hard at my job; I need and deserve to get paid for what I do. It is, quite simply, "wrong" for others to take my work and make use of it without compensation. Working as a writer is difficult enough in this current publishing market, without adding theft of my material to the list of violations.
Many thanks,
Josephine Matyas

Buffalo's Handsome Jack are a lesser-known band that are gradually gaining notoriety for their '70s power-charged blues-rock that's chock full of soul. The band represents the gritty southern rock aesthetic, with forefathers such as the Black Crowes and a smattering of Muscle Shoals mainstays coming through as clear influences on the band's second full-length album, Supermoon. The record consists of 11 loud, rambunctious tracks of sweaty venue blues. Charged and snarling, the Jacks hold nothing back, hinting that their live game is likely twice as powerful. A cleverly-wielded rock organ and whining guitar runs are at the center of Handsome Jack's heft, grounded by throbbing drums and better-than-average whiskey-drenched-lead-singer vocals.
Supermoon opens with "Take Me Back Home", a slow, howling guitar ushering in a powerful ballad, with vocalist Jamison Passuite's soulful howl mirrored by glowing organ chords and hooky guitar lines. "Faking It" is the catchy standout, a song nearly impossible not to move to. From this point on, the pealing, steady roots rock chugs along beautifully ("Turn to Dust", "Strangers") and packs some serious power ("Freelance Fiend"). The album's endnote, "Roll On", practically begs for a cliché lighter salute.
Because of the Jack's obvious strengths, Supermoon devotes much of its play time to peeling guitar and organ jams, but by about the album's halfway mark, it starts to sound a little monotonous. These tricks probably translate exceptionally well live, but restrained to small speakers and studio mixing, Supermoon comes across as flat and predictable. Perhaps this confinement is the only element of Supermoon that leaves something to be desired. Handsome Jack is worth a listen for rootsy southern blues-rock fans, but break out the subwoofer for this one.
Essential Tracks: "Marry Louise", "Strangers", and "Faking It"

Downtown Cancun Restaurants: Taste What Lies beyond the Hotel Zone
By Kristin Busse
Cancún Local Expert
Cancun's Hotel Zone is famous for its beautiful beaches, resorts, nightclubs and restaurants. However, at the northern end of the "HoZo" you'll find downtown Cancun, a city of more than 700,000 residents. Escape the Hotel Zone for an evening or two and make the trip downtown or you will miss some of the best and most charming restaurants that Cancun has to offer.
Both Du Mexique and Peter's on Bonampak Avenue are very close to the Hotel Zone entrance and are local favorites. Locando Paolo, an Italian restaurant also located on Bonampak, serves modern Italian cuisine with Mexican and Asian influences. Julia Mia, which sits across the street from Costco, serves up gourmet Mexican cuisine and lovely ambiance.
L'escargot is a small French restaurant hidden on a side street that some call one of the best restaurants they've ever visited. La Troje is an economical favorite of locals which serves fresh, nutritious eats. La Habichuela, a Cancun dining institution, features Yucatecan food and has been open since 1977.
If you're in the mood for something international, Yamamoto is the oldest (and some say the best) Japanese restaurant in Cancun. Hip Marakame is great at anytime of day, visit for breakfast, lunch, dinner or drinks.
So venture out of the Hotel Zone and discover Cancun's amazing downtown restaurants. You won't be disappointed.
10 Marakame
Hidden in an upscale neighborhood in downtown Cancun, Marakame is open for breakfast, lunch and dinner. They even deliver. This indoor/outdoor restaurant is great for an event, like a baby shower or birthday, a family breakfast or a romantic dinner. Thursday-Saturday nights they feature live music outside under the twinkling lights in the trees. Marakame features an extensive menu of pasta, seafood, salads, pizza and a fully stocked bar. The ambiance is welcoming and relaxing. Leave your board shorts and flip flops at the hotel, this crowd is casual but fashionable. To arrive, take the bus, get off at the first stop downtown and then take a 25 peso taxi to the restaurant. (887-1010, 887-0187)
9 Yamamoto
While patrons can order Asian staples like fried rice and stir-fried chicken or beef at Yamamoto, the real draw is the sushi. With so many seafood restaurants in the city, it's surprising that there are not more sushi bars in town, but even if there were, this one would still be a crowd pleaser. You can sit down right at the sushi bar and watch as expert chefs prepare your fresh feast right before your eyes. Take it easy on the food and sake so you can save room for the tempura ice cream. (998-887-3366)
8 La Troje
La Troje (The Shed) is tucked in a upscale neighborhood near Plaza Las Americas in downtown Cancun. The restaurant has a sidewalk cafe feeling and they serve delicious salads, pasta, crepes, baguettes, pizza, fondues, beer and wine...so it's a wonderful place for lunch or a light dinner. Try the extremely popular Ensalada Margarita (Margarita Salad) which features shrimp and asparagus. From the hotel zone take the R-27 Bus and get off downtown on Tulum avenue just in front of Sports City then walk through Sport's City front entrance and parking lot. When you reach the next street La Troje is to the left. (998 887 9556)
7 Cocina de Autor
Cocina de Autor is hidden away in a residential neighborhood in downtown Cancun. A hotel concierge may not typically recommend this restaurant to guests, but this is one of the best dining establishments in all of Cancun. Chef Cristian Morales personally attends to guests and also acts as Sommelier. Entrees range from 20 to 50 USD. If you'd like to try a bit of everything, a degustation menu is available for about 65 USD/person. Morales' enticing Argentinean - Pre-hispanic Mexican dishes will please even the most discriminating foodie. A visit to elegant Cocina de Autor will be a highlight of your vacation. (998 251 9145)
6 Locanda Paolo
This Italian fusion restaurant has been open since 1989, an eternity in Cancun. The fare can be described as Italian with a Mexican Caribbean influence. The service is impeccable, attentive yet unobtrusive, and the chef always comes out of the kitchen to greet customers and ask if they are enjoying their meal. If you have a taste for something, just ask, the kitchen is very accommodating. This is a great setting to celebrate a birthday or anniversary. If you arrive at 8 pm, you'll wonder where all of the customers are, but by 10 pm Locanda Paolo will be full. (998 887 2627)
5 L'escargot
This small French restaurant is tucked away on a quiet side street in downtown Cancun and is operated by a Parisian who arrived in Cancun some 30 years ago. Don't be surprised if she's sitting at the door waiting for you when you arrive. The menu is small but the fare is fresh and perfectly prepared. At night the garden area is filled with twinkling lights. The intimate setting is lush with tropical vegetation and is perfect for a romantic date or a quiet dinner with a friend. With an impeccably trained wait staff and french music, L'escargot makes for a delightful evening in Cancun. (998 887 6337)
4 La Habichuela
La Habichuela has been a fixture in Cancun for many years with restaurants in both downtown Cancun and the Hotel Zone (La Habichuela Sunset). You'll find high quality food and great service at both establishments. The restaurant's signature dish is Cocobichuela, a mixture of lobster, shrimp, rice, curry sauce, and tropical fruits served in a coconut shell. You simply must try it. You won't regret it. The original La Habichuela has been open downtown in Parque las Palapas since 1977 when Armando Pezzoti opened the restaurant in what was once his home. People return year after year due to the delicious food, impeccable service and unparalleled ambiance. (998-884-3158)
3 Peter's Restaurante
This cozy restaurant in downtown Cancun has only been open for 2 years, and it's ranked number three on TripAdvisor's list of Cancun restaurants. The restaurant is staffed by the owner Peter, his wife Claudia and their son Eder. Dishes include shrimp, fish, veal, beef, vegetarian and pasta and a small but good wine list. Prices are considerably lower than they would be for a restaurant of this caliber in the Hotel Zone. You can easily take the bus to Peter's by getting off at the first stop downtown and walking just a few blocks to their location on Bonampak. (998 251 9310)
2 Julia Mia
Julia Mia is Cancun's newest Mexican restaurant and is quickly becoming a local favorite. Owners Lupita and Irma Chavez, sisters from Guadalara, opened Julia Mia in June. The restaurant features contemporary Mexican food, but never forgets to incorporate traditional flavors and ingredients. The inspiration behind Julia Mia (My Julia) is a woman "that's not afraid of anything or anyone, she enjoys ilfe and her traditional Mexican drink, tequila, as well as the best selection of recipes from Mexico which integrate tastes and smells, always respecting and honoring each ingredient." Expect to be wowed by the tostadas, flautas, sopes, quesadillas, enchiladas, sea bass tacos, blue crab taquitos, roast corn soup, red pozole, chicken with mole, salmon al pastor, corn smut and goat cheese ravioli, garlic octopus fettuccini, and scrumptious desserts like flan, chocolate volcano, and chocolate truffles with mole and churros. Julia Mia is open daily from 1 pm to 12 am. (01 800 849 1343)
1 Du Mexique
Du Mexique is another one of the amazing restaurants on Bonampak avenue in downtown Cancun. This is a lovely place to celebrate a special occasion like an anniversary or birthday. Located in what used to be a house, the divine ambiance, service and food make this restaurant stand out on the endless list of Cancun restaurants. Chef Alain Grimond and his wife Sonya prepare and serve the food themselves. The cuisine is an interesting combination of Mayan and French. Have an appetizer in the lounge or "sala", move to the 20 seat dining room for dinner, and have dessert on the patio. If you would like something special that you don't see on the menu, ask and if it's possible, they will prepare it for you. (998 884 5919)

Art news: Harps take on the '1812' overture
Art news
Harps take on the '1812 Overture'
The annual concert dubbed Harp Fest by many will return to Naples with more than 20 harps — enough to supply a heavenly host — and some guest stars.
Local child soprano Zofia Majewski will sing, and guest harpist Meko, an international star with his dreamy New Age harp songs, also will perform.
The Kellyn Celtic dancers will bring lively stepping to the stage.
But the Florida harps themselves will provide most of the power for such diverse works as "Blue Tango," the Pachelbel Canon and hits from Beach Boys composer Brian Wilson.
Ever heard harps play the "1812" Overture? They will Sunday, Feb. 10.
What: The Naples Harp Ensemble will present its annual "For the Love of Harps" concert
When: 4 p.m. Sunday, Feb. 10, at North Naples United Methodist Church, 6000 Goodlette-Frank Road, Naples
Admission: Free
Something else: As an appetizer, Meko will offer a solo concert at 7 p.m. Saturday in the church chapel
Edna will return
The Bach Ensemble of Naples "Fantasia V: Love is in the Air!" will be the ensemble's fundraiser, and the music this time will be laughter.
The group will bring in the Florida "Dame Edna," a high-spirited matron who can plumb the most remote corners of Sunshine State humor.
This will be an encore performance for Edna, who entertained for the ensemble's fundraiser last year.
When: 6 p.m. cocktails and silent auction, 7 p.m. dinner, 8:15 dinner show and live auction, Feb. 15
Where: Hilton Naples, 5111 U.S. 41 N., Naples
Cost: $65; tables for eight are available for $1,000
To purchase: online at www.thebachensemble.org or at 239-732-1055
'Voices' winners to sing
Nadia Marshall of Naples and Tiffany Farina of Fort Myers will be guest soloists at the Voices of Naples' 10th anniversary spring concert, "A Celebration of Song," at 3 p.m. Feb. 17 at the Naples United Church of Christ, 5200 Crayton Road, Naples.
The two college students earned scholarships for tuition from the community chorus in 2012 and will return to share their musical growth in their choral music careers.
The 75-member chorus, under the direction of Artistic Director Dr. Douglas Renfroe, will celebrate its 10th anniversary by choosing the group's top 10 favorite songs of the last 10 years.
Choices range from Broadway hits, patriotic classics and a spiritual, topped off by a Gaelic blessing.
Two numbers are classics by liturgical composer John Rutter.
Tickets are $20 and are available from any member, or by calling 239-455-2582.
Will-call service is available; visit the website at www.voicesofnaples.org

Bob Bell served as president of Tennessee Tech University for more than a decade, and now the university will recognize his service by naming the Nursing and Health Services Building in honor of him and his wife, Gloria, as Robert and Gloria Bell Hall.
The community is invited to a naming ceremony in the auditorium of Robert and Gloria Bell Hall Thursday, Oct. 24, at 3 p.m. A reception will follow in the hall's rotunda and in Bell Hall 260.
"Dr. Bell recognized the need for a strong nursing school in rural Tennessee and garnered support from the state legislature, U.S. Congress and private and corporate donors to fund the construction of the Nursing and Health Services Building," said TTU President Phil Oldham.
"Dr. Bell envisioned that this building would lead to the establishment of auxiliary programs in family life, nutrition and healthcare as catalysts for innovation and growth. This building also signaled a transformation in the nursing program so that it now better meets the needs of traditional students as well as working professionals.
"As always, Dr. Bell's initiative was to equip students to succeed. Our students consistently pass the national licensure exam with passage rates of 97-98 percent or greater," Oldham said.
As eighth president of Tennessee Tech, Bell led TTU through more than a decade of steady enrollment growth. TTU was consistently ranked among the nation's best universities during his tenure, and the TTU endowment more than doubled during his presidency.
Bell joined the TTU faculty in 1976 in the College of Business, and he served as its dean from 1991 to 2000.
Gloria Bell embraced the role of serving the university and the community as first lady of Tennessee Tech. She hosted many events, established campus traditions and created a culture of appreciation for the arts, service and education.
In 2003, she created the university flag to symbolize the strengths of TTU – a proud spirit, a solid academic reputation and a foundation of character and commitment – that permeate every program at the university.
Robert and Gloria Bell Hall is located at 10 West 7th Street on the TTU campus.
The TTU Brass Arts Quintet will provide prelude and ceremony music. The quintet members are Charles Decker and Chris McCormick, trumpets; Greg Danner, horn; Joshua Hauser, trombone; and Ryan Snell, tuba.
TTU professor William E. Woodworth will provide carillon music, playing the system of bells from the clock tower of Derryberry Hall before and after the naming ceremony.
The naming ceremony will be livestreamed at http://www.tntech.edu/web/live/
For guests who cannot be accommodated in the Bell Hall auditorium, additional seating and viewing will be available in Bell Hall classrooms.
All classes in Bell Hall are cancelled Oct. 24.
The ceremony and reception are open to the public. Guests should RSVP by Oct. 15 to firstname.lastname@example.com or 931-372-3301.
