Navarro College Residence Life Department Commitment
The Navarro College Residence Life Department is committed to providing an environment that is conducive to learning. This learning takes place at many different levels. Living on campus will help students learn how to socialize and live in a community governed by rules that help to promote the welfare of each individual in the community.
The residence halls provide additional education outside of the classroom experience, and the Residence Life Staff is here to help facilitate this transition from living at home to becoming a responsible adult. The residence halls are part of the Navarro College community and reflect community living with regard to life. Community is achieved by interaction involving people in various degrees of relationships. One of the goals within the Residence Life Department is to support and encourage interaction among people and to promote awareness, understanding, and diversity inside and outside of our community.
The Navarro College Police Department is professional law enforcement organization — not a "security" organization. The College Police Department is committed to providing professional service to the Navarro College community. Our police officers are Texas State-certified officers and have all the same power and authority as any other sworn police officers in Texas; each officer is empowered by state laws to make arrests, investigate crimes, and carry fire arms. All federal, state, and local laws will be strictly enforced. There are campus police officers on duty 24 hours a day, seven days a week. They can be reached at 8-903-875-7500 or 8-903-654-3999. Their primary responsibility is the safety of the Navarro College community and the protection of property, as well as the enforcement of College policies.

There are several differences between traditional dorms and residence halls.
The main mission of a residence hall is to foster an environment of learning and growing outside of the classroom setting. Traditionally, dorms do not provide any social or educational programming. Students find it difficult to learn outside the classroom. Area Coordinators and Resident Advisors (RAs) in residence halls are trained to deal with situations and to help people with their problems. In traditional dorms, housemothers are there to enforce rules and to carry out disciplinary actions for people who violate the rules. Our main emphasis is to give students a place to learn and grow while living in Navarro College residence halls.
The administrative offices of the Residence Life Department are located in the Student Center of Gibson Hall. Our philosophy is to assist each resident in
experiencing growth to become a fully balanced and mature citizen, as well as attaining academic standards. The office is open from 8a.m. to 6p.m. Monday
through Friday. The office phone number is 903-875-7541.
Residence halls are supervised by Area Coordinators, each of whom assumes primary responsibility for one or more halls. These Coordinators are professional,
educated administrators and full-time College employees who have knowledge and expertise with residential living in the college environment. Area
Coordinators are on duty 24 hours a day, seven days per week. They can be reached at all times via the housing cell phone (903-654-2778). All Residence
Life staff are College officials, and their requests must be respected by residents at all times. This is stated in "The Code of Conduct" that is found in the Student Handbook. For assistance in your building, please contact your Area Coordinator at his/her apartment or by cell phone.
Resident Advisors (RAs) are returning residents selected for their leadership ability and sensitivity to the needs of other students. RAs are assigned to a
residence hall, and they cooperate with the staff of other halls to help ensure a quality living environment. Their primary duty is to assist students and to
foster a strong sense of community. They are committed to helping with academic or personal problems and adjustments to group living. RAs are responsible for
enforcing residence hall policies and directives of the Area Coordinators. RAs have scheduled times when they are on duty throughout the year. If you are
interested in becoming a resident advisor, you must have a minimum 2.5 G.P.A., a good conduct record, and have demonstrated maturity, responsibility, and the
ability to communicate well with individuals and groups. For more information, see the Assistant Director of Residence Life.
Residence Hall Facilities and Services
Navarro College maintains 24 modern, air-conditioned residence halls with space for approximately 860 full-time students. The traditional-style hall (suite-style) is a two-person room, sharing a bathroom with another two-person room. The apartment-style hall has 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and a common living room. The suite-style hall 2 has a common area, 3 bedrooms, and 2 bathrooms. All rooms have beds and mattresses with covers, chest of drawers, a study desk and chair, closet space, and mini-blinds. At no time should the mattress covers be removed. The mattresses are covered to protect them and to help create a healthier living environment. There is also a couch and a side chair in the living room area in the apartment-style halls.
Living in on-campus housing provides an unique experience for students to interact with others from diverse groups and backgrounds. Residents engage in interactions that promote learning and appreciation of each other's individuality. The privilege of living in on-campus housing comes with responsibilities for personal behavior toward others in the community.
To create a positive living and learning environment, campus residents must be civil with each other. Residents are expected to understand the impact of their individual actions on the community and change any behavior that does not support our community expectations.
As a member of our residential community residents will be expected to adhere to the following policies:
- Wear their Navarro College ID at all times.
- Dress within the College dress code.
- Communicate with each other in a civil matter.
- Treat community members with consideration and respect.
- Confront behavior or report any incidents to a staff member.
- Create a community in which actions of bigotry, oppression, and hatred will not be tolerated.
- Refrain from utilizing technology/social media in a way that is disrespectful and hurtful to others.
- Refrain from displaying items that are disrespectful and hurtful to others.
Residence Hall Statement of Responsibility
Each resident has the responsibility to:
- Respect other residents' rights
- Abide by federal, state, and local laws.
- Adhere to College rules and regulations.
- Understand and agree to comply with all information and policies provided in this and other College publications.
- Accept responsibility for the actions of his/her guest.
- Comply with all reasonable requests of all College officials, which includes, but is not limited to, Area Coordinators and Resident Advisors.
- Report residence hall and College policy violations to the appropriate staff members.
Citations Issued by Residence Life Staff or Campus Police
As adults, all residents are individually and collectively responsible for their behavior and are fully accountable for their actions. Lack of knowledge of specific policies will not be an excuse for breaking any Navarro College or State of Texas policy or law. Such behavior will result in disciplinary action, which can include, but is not limited to, monetary fines ranging from $10 to upwards of $300, and/or suspension, or expulsion. A monetary fine is intended to serve as a reminder that such behavior or actions are not to be tolerated in the Residence Life community.
Navarro College Disciplinary Point System
The disciplinary point system is designed to promote consideration and safety for others living in a community. All Residence Life violations are assessed by the disciplinary point system. If a resident accumulates any combination equaling six or more points in an academic semester (this includes Fall, Spring, Minimesters, Summer sessions, and break periods), he/she will be removed from the Residence Life Program for no less than one academic semester and will be subject to being trespassed from the Resident Life Program. The disciplinary points issued are valid for one full academic semester. In addition to the infractions listed on the following pages, illegal activities on or off campus may be grounds for removal from the Residence Halls.

The appeals procedure is a process that takes place in a college setting and is a
community of individuals working together for the benefit of students. Within this framework, the institution embodies the laws of the state and nation, but maintains the authority to govern itself. Any resident who receives a College citation will, under due process, have the right to appeal to Residence Life Authorities. Students wishing to appeal will be required to adhere to the following steps:
- Each student, within 24 hrs or 1 business day of receiving a College citation, will submit a letter in writing to the Office of Residence Life stating his/her grounds for appeal.
- The Assistant Director will review the appeal and within 3 business days issue a written reply stating the outcome of the appeal.
- If the resident's appeal is not overturned by the Assistant Director of Residence Life, the resident has the right to appeal to the Director of Residence Life within 24 hours.
- If the resident's appeal is not overturned by the Director of Residence Life, the resident has the right to appeal to the Vice President of Student Affairs. The Vice President of Student Affairs will determine if the appeal has merit to be overturned. The decision of the Vice President is final and binding and serves as the final step in the appeal process. As referenced in the Student Grievances Procedures, the role of the District President in these procedures is not to decide the case or appeal thereof, but merely to determine whether the administrative chain of command has adhered to Navarro College procedures.
Residence Hall Policies and Procedures
Any resident who checks out of Residence Life or is removed administratively
will be required to remove all personal items. Any items left in the facility will be considered abandoned property and will be disposed of. Fines will be assessed according to the condition of the room, removal of property, cleanliness, and damages.
Each residence hall is air-conditioned for the comfort of the residents. Controls
are located in the living room of apartment-style residence halls and in each room of the suite-style halls. The Residence Life Staff will resolve all disputes regarding temperature control. The set ranges for the thermostat are approximately 69 to 78 degrees. Tampering with the thermostat could lead to monetary fines.
For security reasons and to help conserve energy, windows are not to be opened. They are not to be used to enter or exit a room, except in an emergency. Blinds should always be visible from the outside of the residence hall. (There should be no covering between your window and the blinds).
Alcohol or alcohol paraphernalia is not allowed on the Navarro College campus. Residents found drinking or in possession of or in the presence of alcoholic beverages, alcoholic containers, or paraphernalia will be reported immediately to Campus Police and will face disciplinary action from the College, as well as any penalties issued in accordance with Texas state law. Any containers found in a residence room will be confiscated. Any resident who receives an alcohol violation will be required to complete the Alcohol 101 course as well as meet with a counselor in the Student Services Office. The Department of Residence Life retains the right to have the Navarro College Police Department or the Corsicana Police Department enter any residence hall when deemed necessary. Residents who return to the residence halls and appear to be intoxicated will be subject to disciplinary action. Determination is left to the discretion of the Residence Life Staff and/or Campus Police.
Any student who is found to have been involved in an assault or violent conduct toward themselves or others will be removed from College housing. If you are the victim of assault or violent behavior please contact the Campus Police department or the Office of Residence Life.
Bacterial Meningitis Vaccination is required for new students living on campus.
The State of Texas requires all first-time freshman and transfer students who wish to live in campus residence halls to have a vaccination against Bacterial Meningitis. Students are strongly encouraged to visit their primary care physicians or area health clinic as soon as possible to receive the appropriate vaccinations. https://webds.dshs.state.tx.us/immco/affidavit.shtm
Cancellation of Housing Contract
All cancellations must be submitted in writing to the Residence Life Office.Any cancellation after the following dates will result in forfeiture of the deposit:
New and returning residents must request their deposit before August 1 for the Fall Semester. New and returning residents must request their deposit before December 1 for the Spring Semester.
Any resident who continually exhibits a continual disrespect for the college policies or staff will be referred to the Assistant Director of Residence life for disciplinary action which could lead to the loss of the student's eligibility to remain in on-campus housing or the denial of future housing requests.
Check-in and check-out procedures are crucial. Students must complete all check-in paperwork before occupying a room. Students should arrive on campus during the scheduled hours for check-in unless prior arrangements have been made. Prior to leaving campus at the end of every semester, each student must complete specific check-out procedures. On the day of their last final exams, students are expected to check out of Housing with a professional staff member. Failure to do so could result in an improper check-out charge of $150.00. Failure to check out on the day of your last final exam will result in a $100.00 charge for every day past the initial check-out date. Instructions for this process are given at the mandatory residence hall meetings at the beginning and end of the semester and should be followed. If these instructions are not followed, a disciplinary fine may be assessed. Thanksgiving and Springbreak residents are required to complete a checkout form and leave on their bed. Residence Life Staff will inspect and collect the forms upon school closure. Fines will be assessed for improper checkout.

All prospective students who wish to reside on campus must pass a criminal background check. Each student will be responsible for the $10.00 fee. Criminal background checks help to provide a safe and secure community environment. Background checks will be re-run for returning students each Fall semester.
Damage or Loss of Personal Property
The College does not assume responsibility for any loss/damage of personal
property, whether by theft, fire, vandalism, flooding, etc. Your personal property loss may be covered on your parents' homeowners insurance. If not, there are insurance companies that will provide renters insurance coverage, if you feel the need to be protected. Any missing items should be reported in person to the Office of Residence Life and Campus Police immediately. Resident property lists will be available during check-in for you to fill out. These lists are kept on file in the Housing Office.
Pants are to be worn around the waist at all times. "Sagging" will not be tolerated. A shirt must be worn at all times while on campus.
Any student who possesses or participates in the presence of and/or under the influence of the use, sale, manufacturing, or distribution of illegal drugs and/or mood-enhancing substances will be subject to disciplinary action and/or criminal proceedings. Sanctions will include, but are not limited to, probation, suspension from on-campus housing, or expulsion. Drug paraphernalia, including bongs, hookah pipes, clips, residue, seeds, needles, a smoke-filled residence hall room, or any other items used in the preparation or consumption of illegal drugs and/or mood-enhancing substances, are not permitted on the Navarro College campus. These items are subject to confiscation by the College Police Department,Corsicana Police Department, or the Texas Department of Public Safety. Random room inspections by authorized staff accompanied by NC Staff with canine or independent contractors with canine units may be conducted periodically to enforce the zero tolerance policy in reference to the unlawful possession, use, sale, or distribution of narcotics, dangerous drugs and related paraphernalia, and any mood-enhancing substances on campus. Navarro College considers the possession, use, sale, or distribution of illegal and/or mood-enhancing substances detrimental to students and the educational process. Students found in possession of prescription drugs not prescribed to the student or who have an abnormal amount of over-the-counter drugs will be sanctioned under the terms of illegal drug possession. Room inspections are subject to but not limited to an individual room, whole apartment, personal items, or entire facility. Students who make a conscious decision to remain present during illegal activities such as alcohol consumption, use of illegal drugs, or other illegal activities will be disciplined accordingly, which may include cancellation of housing contract and referral to the Office of Student Services for further sanctions. Those who believe they have a problem with drugs are urged to call the Navarro College Counseling Center for assistance at 903-875-7379.
Exterior doors or doors with a deadbolt to the residence halls should be locked at all times to promote safety and limit access by non-residents. These doors should not be left unlocked or propped open at any time. Unlocked doors could lead to fines for all residents of an unlocked room. These fines will be assessed at $25 per resident or $100 collectively for all residents in that apartment. Front doors and bedroom doors are to remain closed and locked, except for the purpose of entering or exiting a room. Any student, whether resident or non-resident, found trying to enter a room illegally or by force will be removed from College housing.
College ID's should be worn and visible at all times and should be able to be seen easily at the chest area. It should be attached to a lanyard worn around the neck or on a clip visible from your shirt or jacket collar. The ID should never be clipped to pockets where it cannot be easily seen or in a wallet. Residents will receive a written warning and then disciplinary action taken upon your second offense.
Halogen lamps are prohibited in the residence halls. Holiday lights, lava lamps, colored light bulbs, and bulbs over 60 watts are also prohibited. Use of these lamps is against the National Electrical Code and The Life Safety Code. Several colleges and universities have experienced residence hall fires due to the amount of heat these lamps produce. Space heaters of any kind are not allowed in residence halls. Candles of any kind (decorative or scented), including candles that have not been lit, wickless candles, incense, and open-flame decorations such as potpourri are fire hazards; therefore, the burning of candles, incense, or potpourri is prohibited. Any cooking/kitchen device with a heating element, such as coffee pots, crock-pots, hot plates, George Foreman Grills, and toaster ovens, are not allowed. All these items will be confiscated, and a monetary fine will be issued (this is listed on the fines list as a violation of the fire code). There will be a $30 charge per item, not to exceed $250. Repeated offenses could be subject to termination of the housing contract. Possession of these items will result in immediate confiscation, fine, and disposal of the items.
Fire Drills/Emergency Evacuation
Fire drills are conducted every semester to educate residents on how to react in the event of an emergency situation. Staff use various techniques to alert students of such a situation. Examples include using the sound of the fire alarm, staff knocking on a door, using air horns, directing students to the emergency exits, and following the procedure for evacuating the building. During a fire drill, every room will be checked by staff to ascertain that all areas have been evacuated. Failure to evacuate in an immediate and cooperative manner during a drill or alarm will result in a $50 fine and further disciplinary action. A fire drill is conducted at least once a semester in each residence hall.
Fire Evacuation Instructions
If the smoke alarm sounds, students are to evacuate the building IMMEDIATELY
following the instructions listed below:
- If your door is HOT to the touch (use the back of your hand to touch) do not open it.
- Turn on lights and unlock your room door. A staff member will check the room.
- Use a secondary means to exit the room.
- If your door is cool to the touch, open it slowly.
- If the living room or the opposite bedroom is clear, close the door behind you and proceed to the exit. If possible, alert other students on your way to the designated area.
- If you encounter heat and/or pressure in the living room or coming from the opposite bedroom, leave your apartment/suite, carefully closing all doors behind you, and proceed to the previously designated area to be counted by a staff member. If possible, alert other students on your way to the designated area.
- If you encounter smoke, take short breaths through your nose and stay close to the floor; crawl, if possible.
- Once outside the building:
- Move far away from the building and wait until contacted by an authorized College official.
- Disabled people who require assistance in evacuating should notify and make prior arrangements with their Resident Advisor.
- Do not try to remove personal items!
- If your clothing catches fire, STOP…DROP…AND ROLL!!
Residents must be enrolled in 15 semester hours and maintain 12 semester hours each Fall/Spring semester. Resident enrollment is monitored, and residents who do not maintain full-time status may be removed from the Residence Life Program without a refund. These students will be required to turn in their IDs and will be removed (criminally trespassed) from the housing area due to falling below the required number of hours. This removal may be appealed, in writing, to the Office of Residence Life. Any student found residing illegally in a residence hall room once removed for not maintaining 12 semester credit hours is subject to a Criminal Trespass issuance.
Any form of gambling is prohibited at all times on the Navarro College Campus (including the Game Room) and at all College-sponsored activities.
Group Billing for Damages/Vandalism/Littering
Residents are collectively accountable for any special cleaning required or repair of damages occurring as a result of horseplay or vandalism to the hall or apartment. This includes billing for damages to an entire apartment or residence hall if these damages cannot be attributed to a specific resident or unit. The office of Residence Life will determine the amounts of such loss or damage. Residents will receive warnings in the form of hall meetings and letters before billing will occur. The total amount of the damage/vandalism to date will be addressed at each warning. If those responsible come forward or if information is given that leads to the identification of those responsible, then the billing will be assessed to those individuals rather than to all residents of a building. Residents are not permitted to make any repairs or alterations to their room or suite. All maintenance requests must be reported to the Residence life Office for repair.
When weather conditions are sufficiently hazardous to warrant limited activities at Navarro College, residents and staff will be advised by the Watchdog Alert System. Residents and staff will be given instructions as to the status of Navarro College operations via the system. Only under emergency or threatening conditions will Navarro College be closed during normal operating hours.

College employees have the right to enter assigned rooms of residents in the performance of legitimate functions, including, but not limited to, maintenance, emergency situations, possible violations of College policy or civil or criminal law, and to ensure that safety and sanitation standards are being observed. Illegal or unauthorized items may be confiscated, and appropriate citations may be issued to the residents involved. Inspections may take place at any time and with- out warning to the resident. Area coordinators will conduct health and safety inspections throughout the semester. The Department of Residence Life retains the right to inspect closets, storage trunks, and refrigerators during any health and safety inspection. Any resident found in possession of another person's personal items will be subject to disciplinary actions. Students are not allowed to store items of any nature that do not belong to them. Random room inspections by authorized staff accompanied by NC staff or independent contractors with canine units may be conducted periodically to enforce the Navarro College zero tolerance policy in reference to the unlawful possession, use, sale, or distribution of narcotics, dangerous drugs, and related paraphernalia on campus.
All keys are considered College property and must be returned to the Residence Life Department. Duplication of keys is strictly prohibited. Under no circumstances should a resident lend his/ her key(s) to anyone else. Students should keep his/her room key in their possession at all times. A student found giving his/her key to another person to use to enter their room or building will be subject to an improper key usage charge of $75 and will receive a three-point violation, as well as be subject to expulsion from the Residence Life Program at the discretion of the Director of Residence Life. A charge of $50 will be assessed for any lost key. A $25.00 charge will be assessed for a lost mailbox key. Any student returning keys after the checkout process will be charged $25 for a housing key and $12.50 for a mailbox key.
Residents living in College housing are required to display their Navarro College ID and have their Residence Hall keys on them at all times. If a student is locked out, he/she can call the Emergency Cell Phone (903-654-2778) and request to have his/her door unlocked. The student must show his/her Navarro College ID before he/she will be allowed entry into the room. The first unlock is free. Each additional unlock will result in a $10 fee. Doors will not be unlocked if you are not a resident of that room or if you leave personal items in another resident's room.
All porch areas, sidewalks, parking lots, and stairwells must stay free of loitering at all times. Students are allowed to sit on the benches in front of the residence halls in groups of six (6) or less students during the hours between 10 am and 10 pm. On a daily basis, Quiet Hours are enforced from 10 pm to 10 am, which means that no one will be permitted to be out and about in the Residence Life area unless going to a destination. For Navarro College, loitering means a congestion of students outside a residence hall, Gibson Student Center, any College building, or parking lots associated with the buildings. Loitering is also defined as "to wander or be idle in the Residence Life area without a valid purpose or destination." A College citation will be given to anyone who violates this policy. Students who are in groups of six or more will be asked to disperse at the discretion of the Residence Life Staff. Inside the residence halls, there should be no more than four (4) people in a room or twelve (12) people in a suite at any time, due to the size of the residence halls. If a group becomes excessively loud or unruly, the group will be asked to disperse.
Providing false information to College officials or Campus Police, lying in a disciplinary hearing, or lying to Residence Life Staff will result in disciplinary action. This can lead to removal from Residence Life and administrative fines.
Mandatory Residence Life Meetings
Mandatory Residence Life meetings will be held throughout the semester. They are held to notify residents of important information. They are usually held at the beginning, middle, and end of each semester. Each resident must attend. A $25 fine will be assessed for failure to attend. Residents who miss the meeting are still responsible for the information discussed. All residents will be notified through posters, emails, and flyers. Any resident who is late to a Mandatory Hall Meeting will not be allowed to enter and will not receive credit for attending the hall meeting.
Consideration for other residents should be observed 24 hours a day, especially with regard to noise. Quiet hours, which begin at 10 p.m. and continue until 10 a.m., are maintained to give residents a period of solitude each day to rest and study. The Residence Life Office reserves the right to extend quiet hours when deemed necessary. During final exam week, quiet hours are in effect 24 hours a day. Please note: Any loud noise (i.e., music from stereos, car stereos, radios, and TVs) that can be heard outside of a room or apartment is prohibited at all times. Parties are not allowed at any time in the residence halls. Any noise that disturbs other people at any time of day may be deemed a noise violation. Residents with noise complaints are encouraged to contact the residents making the noise and request that the occupants lower their volume. If the problem is not resolved, the residents should contact a staff member to report the problem. A member of the Residence Life staff or the Campus Police Department may issue a citation for noise if a resident is abusing the rights of others. After a warning, items can be confiscated to help ensure the quality of the living environment. Items include, but are not limited to, radios, speakers, TV's, etc. Excessive noise coming from car stereos can result in having parking privileges revoked and no longer being allowed to park in the housing area for a set time period. It is very important that residents be aware of their responsibility to monitor their behavior, regardless of the time of day. The Residence Life Office /Housing Department tries to provide a reasonably quiet environment that is conducive to the community.
Failure to respond to an official College summons will result in additional disciplinary action by the Residence Life Office, Student Services, or Business Office.
Pets of any kind are not allowed at any time in or around the Residence Halls, including porch areas, and Gibson Hall. This is for cleanliness as well as to safeguard the health of those who have allergies. Students who require a service animal will be accommodated. (See the Student Handbook for an overview of Disability Services and procedures for applying for assistance animals in Housing.) Any resident(s) found in violation of this policy will be subject to an administrative fine and removal of the pet.
Physical/Verbal Abuse/Profanity
Physical or verbal abuse of any person on College property or disregard for the physical well-being, property, or rights of any person on College-owned property or any conduct that threatens or endangers the health, safety, or well-being of any such person is subject to disciplinary action. Navarro College specifically prohibits the use of profanity and obscenity on College-owned property or at College-sponsored events. Use of profanity and obscenity may result in one or more disciplinary measures, ranging from a warning to a fine. Music containing profanity or obscenity that can be heard by others may be confiscated.
Residence Life Early Removal Process
Once removed you are no longer a resident of NC housing and will be required to adhere to the following guidelines.
- Must check out officially with a staff member and submit your student ID.
- Possible Criminal Trespass based on the nature of policy violation.
- Not allowed to visit residents for extended periods of time, use their facilities, be left unattended by the resident. Any host found in violation of this will receive disciplinary action from the Office of Residence Life.
- Remove all personal items from the residence hall. Once removed you are not allowed to store personal items in the residence halls.
- If found living on campus, the student will either be trespassed on sight or arrested.
A resident's facility is not to be used by any other individual other than the resident to whom a key has been issued to.
During the registration process, each student is required to obtain a current student identification card from the Registrar's Office. This ID card is required for library services, campus activities in Gibson Student Center, and meals. It is also required for participation in student activities, elections, athletics, and cultural events. This ID card must be validated with a color-coded sticker for the current semester. An ID card is non-transferable; only student to whom it was issued can use it. IDs must be worn and visible at all times to help promote safety on campus, and readily shown upon the request of any College official, faculty member, or other person of authority. A student should never lend his or her ID card to another student and may not use another student's card for any function. Lost ID cards should be reported immediately to the appropriate campus location, where they can be replaced at a cost of $10 (first two are free). Failure to comply with this policy can result in a Failure to Show I.D. charge to the student.
The Residence Life Department reserves the right to refuse a request for campus residency to any student who has been charged or convicted of a felony, offenses involving moral wrongdoing, other offenses of a serious nature, or who exhibits serious psychological problems. Any resident who continually exhibits a continual disrespect for the college policies or staff will be referred to the Assistant Director of Residence Life for disciplinary action which could lead to the loss of the student's eligibility to remain in on-campus housing or future housing requests.
With regard to room assignments, first priority is given to returning students. Every attempt is made to accommodate student roommate preferences for housing assignments. New/incoming students are considered for placement once all Residence Life paperwork is received and if the student meets all the Residence requirements set forth by the College. The student may be subject to a waiting list if maximum occupancy is reached. If maximum occupancy for on-campus housing is reached, students may be placed three to a room at the discretion of the Office of Residence Life. The Residence Life Department reserves the right to make adjustments to room assignments when deemed necessary.
There is a two-week freeze on room changes at the beginning of each semester. After the two-week freeze, you may visit with the Assistant Director of Residence Life for a room change. A resident who wishes to make a room change should contact his/her Area Coordinator or visit the Office of Residence Life. Any resident requesting a new roommate will usually be required to change rooms. Residents changing rooms must follow standard room change procedures through the Residence Life Office. Room changes take place two weeks after the first day of class and are at the discretion of the Residence Life Office. Any student who moves from his/her assigned room or building without written consent from the Residence Life Department will be charged a fee of $100/2pts and will be asked to move back to his/her originally assigned room. Any resident found not residing in his/her assigned room will be subject to disciplinary actions. The host of the guest will be held responsible and disciplinary sanctions administered. The room change/hall transfer policy was developed to help promote the safety and security of residents by allowing College officials to know exactly where students are residing.
Any student who is experiencing roommate/suitemate conflict is encouraged to speak with his/her roommate/suitemate in an attempt to resolve the situation. If the attempt is unsuccessful, the student will be required to meet with the Area Coordinator and the roommate/suitemate and set up a roommate/suitemate contract. If either party fails to comply with the contract, both parties will meet with the Assistant Director of Residence Life. One or both parties may be required to move in an attempt to alleviate the conflict. Moving of residents is done at the discretion of the Office of Residence Life.
Residents are responsible for the cleaning of their assigned rooms, common areas, and bathroom areas on a regular basis. Residents must promptly correct any unsafe or unsanitary condition pointed out to them by staff. If not corrected, an administrative fine will be assessed. Students who fail room check will receive a written warning the first time, and fines will follow for each failed room check thereafter. Residents are responsible for promptly reporting any maintenance needs or broken or missing items to the central office Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. at 903-875-7541, or to the housing cell phone after 5 p.m. at 903-654-2778. College property, including furniture, may not be moved within the apartment or removed from the apartment. Missing or broken College property in assigned rooms will be charged to the resident(s) unless properly noted on the Room Inventory Sheet during check-in. Inventory sheets must be turned in within 2 hours after the resident has received the key. If not, the inventory sheet will not be accepted. Additionally, residents may be held accountable for any abnormal wear, damages, or cleaning of public areas of their residence hall. This includes billing damages to individual residents, as well as billing for damages to an entire apartment or residence hall, abnormal cleaning, or vandalism, which cannot be attributed to a specific resident or apartment. College officials shall make a determination of the amount of such loss or damage.
No screws, nails, bolts, double-stick tape, masking tape, pins, or tacks are to be used in residence hall rooms (walls, ceilings, or floors). Plastic, adhesive putty "hold it" may be used to attach decorative pictures to walls. Black lights, Christmas lights, colored light bulbs, lava lamps, and bulbs over 60 watts are also prohibited. Please do not bring couches or love seats. The College furnishes all living room and common areas with furniture.
Satisfactory Attendance and Academic Progress Requirements for Residence Life
The Navarro College Board of Trustees has adopted the following requirements for all students residing in residence halls. The intent of this policy is to ensure success for students during the semester. The fifteen-semester-credit-hour (15 SCH) minimum enrollment is designed to allow students to maintain twelve semester credit hours (12 SCH) so that students may continue to be eligible to reside in the residence hall and maintain financial aid eligibility if it becomes necessary to drop a course.
1. Enrollment in 15 SCH while Maintaining 12 SCH
All students living in residence halls are required to enroll in at least fifteen (15) semester credit hours and maintain twelve (12) semester credit hours during the sixteen-week fall and spring semesters. Enrollment in at least six (6) semester credit hours is required for residents enrolled in a summer term. Students enrolled in internet courses only will not be permitted to reside in campus housing.
2. Attendance Requirement
All Residence Life students will be monitored to assure that they are in strict compliance with the Navarro College Attendance Policy as cited in the Navarro Catalog. Excessive absenteeism is defined as being equivalent to two (2) weeks of instruction in a sixteen (16) week semester.". At the end of the fifth, eighth, and tenth weeks of classes, the faculty will be required to submit a listing of students with excessive absenteeism or who are not attending classes. This attendance report will be administered by the Vice President of Student Services, and a copy of the report will be provided to the Student Financial Aid Office and the Residence Life Office. Exceptions to this policy will be excused absence due to athletic competition, illness verified by medical doctor, or excused absence by the faculty member.
Students residing in residence halls who are in non-compliance with this policy will be given one warning commensurate with the first offense. Students will be informed that they are subject to removal from Residence Life at the College with one additional occurrence. Notice of the second unexcused absence will result in the student being dismissed from the Navarro College Residence Life Program. The Vice President of Student Services will require all Residence Life students not attending class or with excessive absences to move out of the residence hall within 48 hours.
3. Grade Point Average (GPA) Requirement
Students in the Residence Life/Housing Program are required to have a minimum GPA of 1.75 at the end of their first semester. A cumulative GPA of 2.0 or higher is required at the end of the second and subsequent semesters in order to remain in the Residence Life/Housing Program.
4. Course Load Requirement
Students residing in residence halls must ensure that their course load includes at least two-thirds traditional lecture/laboratory form with face-to-face teacher-student relationship in a classroom on one of the Navarro College campus sites. This face-to-face teacher-student relationship must prevail throughout the full sixteen-week semester. Exceptions to this policy will be approved by the Vice President of Student Services.
Students who fail to meet this requirement for two consecutive semesters will not be permitted to continue as a resident student living on campus. If the student course load fails to meet this requirement at any time during a long semester and the student has been permitted to participate in the Residence Life program, the student will be removed from the Residence Life program within one week following notice of violation of College policy.
The policies will be administered by the Vice President of Student Services. Any appeals or exceptions to these policies must be approved by the Residence Life Appeals Committee, composed of the Director of Residence Life, the Assistant to the Vice President of Student Services, the Director of Student Activities, a student representing the Student Government Association, and a faculty member appointed by the Faculty Association Executive Committee.
Residents are not allowed to solicit, sell, offer services, or purchase items in the residence halls. This includes any services including an exchange of money for services rendered. Students found violating this policy will be subject to disciplinary action or removal from Residence Life.
Navarro College does not allow a student to add personal locks to any part of the residence hall in order to secure personal items. All residence halls are equipped with locks on the main entry door and the doors to personal rooms. Students are encouraged to bring a footlocker, storage bins, locking file cabinet, or a small safe. Please note that any storage device is subject to being searched by professional staff or campus police.
If a resident is occupying a double room without a roommate, the resident must keep the unoccupied half of the room in a condition that would allow someone to move into the room on short notice. Any resident using the unoccupied half of the room will be documented and required to remove his/her belongings from the unoccupied half of the room immediately. The College reserves the right to periodically inspect half-filled rooms. Failure to comply with this policy could lead to monetary fines and disciplinary action. Navarro College reserves the right to consolidate students living within a Residence hall when students are singularly occupying a double room. All room changes are decided by the Residence Life Office.
All Navarro College Campuses are smoke/tobacco free.
The student is advised to discuss the grievance informally with the person who is the source of the grievance. If the grievance is resolved by the parties, the matter is deemed closed. If the grievance is not resolved at this level, the student may request an informal review by the Assistant Director. A formal written complaint must be submitted in order to initiate the process. If the complaint is on a College employee, either the Administrator who directly supervises the employee or the Administrator's designee will oversee the complaint. (To promote a fair and swift resolution of their concerns, students are advised to consult with only those administrators designated by this procedure, unless there are compelling reasons to do otherwise). A written response will be given to the initiator within 5 business days of the submission.
Tampering With Safety Equipment
Tampering with, unnecessary use or misuse of or removal of a fire extinguisher, smoke alarms, or fire alarm equipment (including removal of smoke alarm batteries) will result in serious disciplinary action, because such act may endanger the lives and safety of others. If batteries are needed, please speak to the Residence Life Office or your Area Coordinator.
Temporary 24-Hour Quiet period
Residence Life staff members will announce to all residents that they need to be in their rooms or leaving the Residence Life areas. Residents are not to loiter outside in the Residence Life area during this period. Disciplinary actions can be assessed to the residents who are in violation of this period.
Termination of Housing Contract
The room rent portion of the room is due in full when a student signs the Residence Life contract and takes possession of a room key. If a resident moves out of College Housing voluntarily or is removed for discipline reasons, he/she is still responsible for the room rent charges for the remainder of the term. The unused portion of the meal plan will be pro-rated and refunded.
Theft or possession without permission of any property of the College, any member of the College community, or any campus visitor is subject to disciplinary action. Each resident will be issued a property form during the check-in process. Any resident in possession of stolen property will be subject to removal from the Residence Life Program. Navarro College is not responsible for personal items that are stolen or damaged. All students are encouraged to obtain insurance coverage for all personal belongings. The Residence Life Office has information on companies who offer insurance coverage to students.
Any act or threat, including profane or abusive language, used for the purpose of harassing or submitting any member of the College to pain, discomfort, or indignity, whether in or on College property, is subject to disciplinary action.

A "Notice of No Trespass" means that an individual by law is not permitted nor privileged to visit upon, occupy, or enter any apartment, resident structure, or property in the immediate area and surrounding the residence halls of Navarro College. This Notice is issued to individuals who have committed serious College/Office of Residence Life offenses and/or violations of the law or who have their Residence Hall Contract terminated by the Office of Residence Life. A student is required to receive written "Notice of No Trespass" when the Residence Hall Contract is terminated. A Notice of "No Trespass" may also be issued upon immediate removal from the residence halls and is required pending the investigation of serious violations as deemed such by the Office of Residence Life. This is a precautionary measure for all involved, including the residential community, and does not assume responsibility. This may be done for non-resident students and non-students alike. A student may be required to continue abiding by this notice from the Office of Residence Life until a decision is made regarding the violation. A review of a student's disciplinary file will be initiated upon the student's request once the sanction has been completed or a decision has been reached. The Office of Residence Life reserves the right to extend the suspension of housing, deny an application for housing, or complete placement for housing based upon the severity of the violations/sanctions in the disciplinary file.
Uncooperative Manner/Disorderly Conduct
A student is expected to comply with the reasonable request of a College official. Examples of Uncooperative Manner would include, but are not limited to, refusal to open a room door, refusal to produce/show identification, giving false or misleading information, or failure to follow Residence Life emergency procedure directives.
The reason for the visitation guideline is to ensure, at a certain time, that members of a suite or room could have privacy from people who are not contracted and assigned members of that community. All residents are responsible for seeing that their guests follow the rules and policies as described in this handbook and can be subject to disciplinary action for their guest's actions. A resident of the designated room must always be present when there is a guest in the room. All guests must be at least 17 years of age. No children are allowed in the Residence Life area. All guests are expected to leave the premises in a timely fashion in order to ensure that the privacy of the remaining community members is respected. Visitors found in the opposite-sex area before or after visitation hours will be issued a citation. Visitation hours for all guests (same sex and on-campus residents) are as follows:
10 a.m. to 11 p.m. Sunday –Thursday
10 a.m. to 1 a.m. – Friday – Saturday
Any person found unattended in a room during visitation hours will be asked to leave, and the host will be assessed an unattended guest violation. An unregistered guest is defined as any individual who is found to be residing in the residence hall and not assigned to that room. Any unregistered guest will be asked to leave, criminally trespassed, and the resident will receive disciplinary sanctions.
Non-student visitors after hours could be subject to a criminal trespass. There is no visitation during closed times of the College (Thanksgiving, Christmas, Spring Break, Closed summer). This includes visitation of the opposite sex, as well as a same-sex visitor from outside the Residence Life Program. Any resident found not residing in his/her assigned room, with a guest present, will be subject to disciplinary actions. The host of the guest will be held responsible and disciplinary sanctions administered. Inside the residence halls, there should be no more than four (4) people in a room or twelve (12) people in a suite at any time, due to the size of the residence halls. If a group becomes excessively loud or unruly, the group will be asked to disperse.
No weapons, ammunition, shell casings, or explosives of any kind are allowed in the Residence Life areas (front entryways, rooms, hallways, lounges, parking lots, and grassy areas).

Angelina Jolie is happy she went public with her preventive double mastectomy because it raised awareness of breast cancer. Jolie said she's touched by all the people she meets who share their own cancer stories with her.
"Wherever I go, usually I run into women and we talk about health issues, women's issues, breast cancer, ovarian cancer," Angelina told EW. "I've talked to men about their daughters' and wives' health.
"It makes me feel closer to other people who deal with the same things and have either lost their parents or are considering surgeries or wondering about their children. I was very, very moved by all the support and kindness from so many people."
It has been one year since Jolie underwent a preventive double mastectomy after genetic tests revealed she had an 87 percent chance of developing breast cancer and a 50 percent chance of contracting ovarian cancer.
As a result of her mastectomy, Angelina's breast-cancer risk has dropped to under five percent. Jolie's mother, aunt, uncle, grandmother and grandfather all died from cancer, forcing the Oscar winner to take the radical step of preemptively removing both her breasts.
Jolie is doing well now after the double mastectomy, but will remove her ovaries in the near future. The ovary-removal procedure, called an oophorectomy, calls for the removal of both ovaries. Removing the ovaries reduces the risk of ovarian cancer by 80 to 90 percent by reducing the amount of estrogen and progesterone circulating in the body.
"There's still another surgery to have, which I haven't yet," said Angelina. "I'll get advice from all these wonderful people who I've been talking to, to get through that next stage."
Jolie said despite her health issues, she focuses on raising her six childrenwith partner Brad Pitt. She credits them with helping her laugh and feel like a kid again.
"Outside my home I can be somewhat serious," she said. "[But with my family] we laugh and we play, and I'm light again. I'm a kid again, and I'm loving and soft because they've brought that back in my life."
Angelina, who has been a United Nations goodwill ambassador since 2001, discussed how her charity work has changed her life in Notes from My Travels.

I'm going to start my graduate studies in theoretical physics. My supervisor wants me to work on quantum gravity. He gave me the liberty to chose a particular approach to Quantum gravity (Excluding string theory, he does not like string theory).
So I'm thinking which approach to Quantum gravity should I chose? I have a fascination about twistor model http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twistor. But I think it's not that developed fully due to lack of attention from physicists.

Episode #18 of "Are You Serious?" with Road Dogg and Josh Mathews is embedded in the video below:
Wrestling news, rumors, spoilers and results. We are a leading resource for WWE, TNA and everything related to pro wrestling.
This show is really not funny.
I disagree. I actually find it pretty enjoyable. And it's one of the few "shows" that WWE produces on their YouTube account that's entertaining. But to each their own!
It's not meant to be funny.
It's my favourite WWE YouTube show ahead of Santino and Ryder.
I think it's quite entertaining and they both have a good chemistry together

This last Friday, June 6, 2014, Las Vegas Weekly held its Music Edition Event showcasing the Brooklyn Bowl, a bowling venue located at the newly opened 'Linq', located at 3545 Las Vegas Blvd. South. The 'Linq' features the much touted 'High Roller', as well as other venues for dining, shopping and for fun. Very charming!
It was a nice opportunity to be able to network at the Brooklyn Bowl event, as there will be quite a few concerts and other events being held there this summer. Last Thursday featured the Black Label Society, with future musical events happening for the 'Theivery Corporation', 'The Greyhounds' and 'Steve Winwood'. There are many events with live bands with no cover charge scheduled also, sure to be a hit with the local population. The Brooklyn Bowl is inviting, comfortable, rich and classy, with bowling lanes, big floor, great bar layout, food and beverage vendors. Sure to be an exciting location for the multitude of events scheduled there this summer.
The event, featured a live band, A Moth and The Flame, free drinks from their sponsor, El Jimador Tequila, and free bowling for their guests. A fun networking event, kudos to the LVW event manager, Kristin Wilson, for a great evening.

Sticky Aperture?

Sticky Aperture?
I recently purchased a used SAL35F18 that seems to have a "sticky aperture", i.e., the aperture doesn't close fast enough resulting in overexposed shots. It seems like a pretty open and shut case, however, the aperture appears to spring shut quickly when it's not attached to a camera. Has anyone ever seen this happen with a newer lens like the SAL35F18, and if so, was it just a faulty lens or something else entirely?
Here's a video of me pressing the DOF preview button repeatedly with the SAL35F18:
For comparison, here's my Tamron 28-75 F2.8 doing the same thing:

Category: baby name Autumn
By Kelli Brady, Name Freak!
I love the autumn season. I MISS the autumn season. Living in Thailand for the past couple of years, I have not experienced fall in all its glory and I miss it. This time of year brings thoughts of the colorful season, and those thoughts inevitably turn to names (of course). What's the history with the seasons as given names? How have Winter, Spring, Summer and Autumn fared over the years?
It's probably no surprise that Autumn has been the most widely used season name since 1880. But here are some things that you may not know…
TBy Abby Sandel, Appellation Mountain
Choosing a great baby name is a little bit like putting together a puzzle.
This week's baby names in the news – and my, it was a busy week – all share a certain pattern.
Start with a recognizable, but not too popular, two-syllable name.
Add a middle, or even two. Don't fret about rhythm and flow, especially if you're honoring a loved one or extolling a virtue.
Now calibrate. If the first name is common, make sure the middle name is a real surprise.
Since the Fall season is officially upon us, it's time once again for an update of our annual round-up of crisp Autumn names–those appellations which refer to the season directly and those that are more subtle references.
Autumn — Autumn is ironically the hottest season name once again this year, the only one in the Top 100 where it's maintained its status for over a decade now. The name Autumn first entered the U.S. Top 1000 in 1969, inspired by the hippie nature names and word names. While it's still attractive, however, it's hardly fresh. (Note: Winter is also in the air—though it hasn't yet made the list, we're seeing more and more interest in it as a name.)
Names from other cultures that provide a newer route to Autumn include the Japanese girls' names Aki and Akiko, the Turkish girls' name Hazan, the Vietnamese Thu, and, in Chinese, Qiu for either girls or boys.
Appellation Mountain's Abby Sandel wonders if maybe we're overthinking the naming process, and in this week's The Nameberry 9 she gives some examples of celebs who have gone back to basics.
Has it really become harder to name a child?
It seems to be the theme in recent days. Over at Offbeat Mama, Caitlin wrote about her struggles to name – and eventually rename – her youngest child. The New Zealand Herald reported the same thing, noting a 12% increase in parents filing to legally change a child's name prior to his or her second birthday.
My maternal grandparents named their first three children in accordance with family and cultural custom. My dad's mom, undecided, pulled his middle name out of a hat. As for my parents, they felt no obligation to honor anyone, and chose short, peppy, upbeat names for their three daughters – until along came a son, and suddenly, family names mattered. If any child ever went nameless for months, or if aunts were divided over accusations of name theft, I've never heard the tale.

We are going to build a Large Enterprise Cloud Solution and would like to know in which configuration we would have a better redundancy/performance and cost efficient.
Here are 2 examples which we're considering as good configurations to grow.
Main Hardware:
- 42U Rack
- 2x Dell Force10 S4810
- 2x HP P2000 iSCSi (2x AW595A Controller), 12x 600GB SAS (RAID10)
Example 1 for a configuration with many small nodes:
- 36x HP DL120 G7 (Xeon® E3-1240 @ 3.30GHz), 32GB RAM, 2x10GE, 2x240GB SSD (RAID1)
Example 2 for a configuration with fewer, bigger nodes:
- 18x HP DL380p G8 (2 x Xeon® E5-2640 @ 2.5GHz), 256GB RAM, 2x10GE/4x10GE, 2x240GB SSD (RAID1)
So the question is now, is it better to take 36x DL120 or 18x DL380?
Would the DL380 handle for example 40GE (2xNIC) or is that to much to handle for the server? Even if we would set up 40GE, is the RAM just too large for the DL120, or is the 32GB RAM not enough resources and won't be cost efficient because of the expensive switches and iSCSi devices?
How do other companies operate, like Rackspace, Amazon, Facebook, Google etc. (I mean they have a very large number of servers, I know, but for me the main strategy is what is important to know.)

Home skin care tips for summer months
Depicted in the video, Elizabeth Arden teamed up with E! News' Catt Sadler and she invited us into her home to talk about how she prepares her skin for the summer months with Beauty Expert Georgie Eisdell. Georgie shares her expert advice about adjusting your skincare routine like you would adjust your wardrobe for the summer months such as using lighter-weight products and always protecting your skin from the environment. Environmental threats such as sun and pollution can cause visible signs of aging to the skin, including premature wrinkles, age spots and discoloration.
UV protection and sunscreen just isn't enough, antioxidants are crucial in protecting against environmental stressors. Antioxidants work like a screen helping to protect your skin from free radicals caused by pollution in the air, sun, smoke and fumes.
Georgie recommends in addition to your regular SPF, to use products that contain Idebenone, a powerful antioxidant. Elizabeth Arden PREVAGE® Intensive serum is a great choice to help keep skin looking radiant and reduce the look of lines and wrinkles. It also minimizes the appearance of age spots, you can see younger-looking skin in 15 minutes.*
*Based on a US home use consumer test on 104 women aged 25-65 using Intensive eye Serum and 108 women aged 30-60 using the Intensive Daily Serum after 15 minutes of use.

Students at Salnave Elementary take a stand against bullying.
Students at Cheney's Salnave Elementary School took part in a national campaign last week to "Take a Stand, Lend a Hand, Stop Bullying!"
According to information from the school district, the campaign is a collaboration between organizations across the country, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, the Health Resources and Services Administration and the Maternal and Child Health Bureau, making it the largest government-organized campaign to combat bullying.
In the school newsletter "Salnave Elementary Snippets," school social worker Catheleen Schlotter said students are taught...

Short Sentences for Stonewall Inn Assaulters Irk Patrons
The two men who attacked a bar patron received sentences of two years and six months, respectively.
Maybe you recall that incident last fall where a pair of Staten Islanders assaulted a patron at historic gay watering hole the Stonewall Inn, hurling gay slurs at him and beating him up pretty badly. Well, although both attackers initially faced sentences of up to eight years, they accepted a plea deal last week that got two years' jail time for one man and just six months for the other. Naturally, patrons of the Stonewall Inn interviewed by DNA Info are not pleased by this. "The one kid who got six months is going to be like, 'Oh, I only got six months,' and maybe do it again. And, who knows, kill someone next time?" speculated one bargoer. [DNA Info, Earlier]

Pre-Market Primer: Durable Goods Orders Soar, but Markets Are Still Soft
Vincent Trivett
Global markets are stabilizing after the Fed announcement on Wednesday.
Stock futures sagged this morning but a better-than expected durable goods order report could brighten the mood in the markets.
Orders of durable goods increased 3.3% in April. Economists only expected a 1.5% rise. Capital expenditures also beat forecasts, rising 1.3%.
Wall Street is heading for a third straight day of losses.
(INDEXDJX:.DJI) futures are down 0.24% at 15,253 before the opening bell.
(INDEXSP:.INX) futures sank 0.41% to 1,643.20 and
(INDEXNASDAQ:.IXIC) futures fell 0.45% to 2,978.75.
Global markets were volatile overnight in the wake of the Fed's announcement that it will possibly taper off asset purchases. After dropping over 7% on Thursday, its worst drop since the 2011 earthquake. Japan's
(INDEXNIKKEI:.NI225) index ended the day up 0.89%.
Germany narrowly avoided a recession in the last quarter. Europe's largest economy grew 0.1% in the quarter after a steep 0.7% decline in the fourth quarter of 2012. Exports fell 1.8%, but personal spending rose 0.8%. German business confidence also rose. The IFO survey showed that investors and businesses are more upbeat about the current economic situation. The index rose to 110, beating forecasts of 104.5. Consumer confidence also unexpectedly rose to its highest level since September 2007.
(NASDAQ:GOOG) is facing an anti-trust probe from the Federal Trade Commission, according to
. The FTC is looking into whether Google broke anti-trust regulations when it acquired DoubleClick, the display ad company, in 2007. Complaints from competitors allege that Google pushes ad clients to use other Google offerings such as Ad Exchange. The news wire's source said that the regulator has not yet notified Google.
Abercrombie & Fitch
(NYSE:ANF) shares fell 10.5% after it reported a loss of $0.09 per share, up from a $0.25 loss a year earlier. Revenue also fell to $838.8 million. Analysts expected a loss of $0.05 on $938 million in sales for the holiday quarter that ended February 2. The company also cut its outlook for the year.
(NASDAQ:SHLD) shares dropped 14% after reporting a heavy loss. The retailer took in $8.45 billion, down from $9.27 billion and made a loss of $1.29 per share.
(NYSE:P) shares are up 12% after delivering better-than-expected revenue. It posted a net loss of $20.2 million, or $0.12 per share. Revenue climbed 55% to $126 million. Pandora is still the Internet radio leader despite Google's similar offering. There are rumors that
(NASDAQ:AAPL) might wade into the space as well.

text: Over the course of the past ten plus years, we've had an opportunity to dig deep into the historical vaults to unveil some photographic treasures that haven't seen the light of day in decades. It's been fun sharing some extraordinary shots taken by a wide assortment of top-notch photographers, many of which are truly unsung hero's of our sport. Since the first "Blast" feature of the Tom "the Mongoose" McEwen back around the late 90's or early 2000, we've had a lot of fun unveiling quite a cross-section of both color and black `n white imagery. All together, we have released a whopping 360 images, many of which have helped shape and reflect back on the history of Firebird and other noteworthy works. We have a ton of favorites in this section of our site. This photo from 1968 (and we haven't a clue who the two cars or drivers may be) is pure dynamite, providing a vivid explanation point on how Firebird got its start. As the old catch phrase acknowledges, "a picture is worth a thousand words". In our opinion, this one is pure bliss.

Good luck,
I wanna see the end project of this. It looks like you have a good start.
Good luck,
Looking a great project chaps, been away a few days so just catching up. looking forward to seeing the finished model, was going to knock one up a while ago (I still might if I find some spare time) but space is limited and to be honest I aint a real fan of the little space monkeys
I havent read the entire post but a rough shaping using polystrene then final shaping using decorators filler was the approach I used for shaping the domed carapace on my warlord, it would probably be a good approach to the curves on this beast. This of course couldnt be used if you went for the flying one!

Yeah, I give him crap all the time about leaving Ohio, but Lack0f is a loner who wanders dusty trails, only stopping in a town long enough to get in a game of Aeronautica and maybe build some titan templates. And then like the wind, he is gone.
@Lack0f: I dig the newest plans and movie, but I feel like the degree of the wing tips may be a bit too steep based on a couple of images that I've seen. I'll try to show you what I'm talking about later.

LatD, Orks, Emperor Titans
I did more work but no real updates today.
Hopefully construction will begin on Friday.
I did figure out that bulldog UK is a crafty fellow.
He somehow managed to scratch build a copy of my dog.
The first two pictures are of my dog. Pictures 3 and 4 are of his which i shamelessly lifted from his website without permission.
My dog ironically is named Baden, after Lord Baden Powell which is someone from bulldog's homeland.

Two more pictures, first one being an action shot for good measure. The second one showing me and the eaterofsmallthings in deep 40k conversation over a game of worms 3D (game cube), while baden eats the eaters foot.... how ironic.

Can someone scratchbuild me one of those dogs? Preferably in the hammock pose?
Getting sidetracked, a (dozen) projects at a time...
"Mathematics? Logic?
Neither has ANYTHING whatsoever to do with any of this. Mixing Spock, the Borg and something else we arrive at the truth: Logic is futile. You will be administered. "
ROFLMAO, it's amazing what you can make with a little paper mache, glue and black paint!
This project is goning to totally rock, I can't wait! I second Bulldog's recommendation on using filler for the smooth edges, and I recommend getting the ones in powder form (I used the Polyfiller brand) which have to be mixed with water.
What I've noticed was that the ready mix variety only dried when exposed to air meaning you couldn't add large amounts at a time and took ages to dry, the powder form seemed to chemically react and hardened over 3-4 hours, I was paricularly suprised about this as I had used it to create a hill (as is I only used large blobs of filler!). Obviously test your filler when you get it.
I've also had some experience making a Tau vehicle, so I can add advice where I can. Here is my Tau Tigershark, it was mainly artcard and superglue to build with polyfiller on the edges.

slaaneshi thats a sweet lookin aircraft.
Ok now "real tangible stuff"
So the the largest size blue foam any hardware store ive been able to find in my area sells is 1/2" thick. I have not picked any up yet, so i started making the udnerside out of foamcore. I have left 1" inbetween the ribs to i can go back in and fill in with blue foam later. After that i hope to cover the thing in sheet styrene, gap filler as required.... Atleast thats the running plan.
So i started underneath with the cargo area. I'm not sure it will actually fit a devilfish, but it will be a big open area that looks like it can carry stuff. I also am going to be leaving the front access ramp open.
I guess thats about all for now. Hopefully will get blue foam and do more work later.
EDIT: I just noticed the last picture the "belly" is on the manta in backwards... long day... big door goes at the back, small door at the front. Dont worry its not attached yet. Still lots of work to do. Currently pondering the use of LED's in the main cargo area.

WOW. . . . . . Just WOW. Lackof you are one crazy bugga' you know that right. Well i hope to see more insanity.
dude, y'know I always look forward to you completing your works so I can get the templates and build one (I must have passed your reaver and 'hound plans to literally dozens of people) but this time I think I'm just along for the ride. I reckon this project will prove wayyyyy beyond what I can replicate.
At some point you need to visit Bulldoguk and have the mother of all apoc games!
Sleazy builds a Reaver titan...
Sleazy paints a proper Reaver...
Old meets new meets scratch - Eldar log
Found blue foam in a box.
Built more stuff, you can see the front lower access ramp.
Are there going to be templates for those "ribs" ? Dimensions would be nice. Keep up your awesome work!
Templates will probably be forthcoming at the end of the project.
This section is done, I will probably paint the interior before i attach it. At some point in the future i will be seeking large amounts of plasticard.
Oh my lord... that is a beast!!! How will you attach it to a stand? Will it be attached to a stand at all? It'd be one hell of an awesome centre piece for an apocalypse game...
You could do a 'grounded' piece, and have troops coming out the 'ramps'... in their dozens... *drool* I can just see Krootox lumbering out of them now...
More work done. My lower cargo bay was too short so "i raised the roof"... may still not fit a tank, but im done messing with it. Also to everyone, the templates are not done, i well let you know when they are. No more e-mails or PM's Please. I also began work on the upper half of the manta.
WOW! Amazing work! I am in awe!
Are you going to be putting the additonal tau models into the "cargo" hold as the forge world model pictures have?
Very inspiring!
