Crane's development as a poet owed a good deal to the work of firstgeneration modernists such as Eliot, Pound, Stevens, and W. B. Yeats, under whose collective shadow he began his career. Of these, it was Eliot who had the most important influence on Crane's work. Crane's relationship to Eliot's poetry could be described as obsessive: he claimed to have read "Prufrock" at least twenty-five times, and after an initial disappointment with The Waste Land he went on to read it, too, over and over again. Both Crane's long poem "For the Marriage of Faustus and Helen" (1923) and his verse epic The Bridge were written at least in part as a response to The Waste Land.
While Crane was impressed by Eliot's undeniable poetic genius, he rejected what he considered the spirit of "pessimism" underlying the older poet's work. As he wrote in a 1923 letter to Gorham Munson:
There is no one writing in English who can command so much respect, in my mind, as Eliot. However, I take Eliot as a point of departure toward an almost complete reversal of direction ... I would apply as much of his erudition and technique as I can absorb and assemble toward a more positive, or (if I must put is so in a skeptical age) ecstatic goal.
Whether or not Crane succeeded in realizing this "ecstatic" goal is a matter of some dispute. Not all readers respond affirmatively to Crane's poetry, and while poets such as Allen Tate and Robert Lowell have praised Crane's accomplishments, a number of distinguished critics - including Yvor Winters and R. P. Blackmur - have found fault with one or more aspects of Crane's writing. There is no doubt that Crane was among the most naturally gifted of American poets: lacking the education and erudition of a Pound or an Eliot, he was to become the most purely Romantic poet of the modernist era, a visionary American poet in the tradition of Emerson and Whitman. Crane's "ecstatic goal" of achieving a "mystical synthesis of 'America'" is unrivalled in twentieth-century American poetry.
Crane was born in 1899, and spent most of his early years living in his grandparents' home in Cleveland, Ohio. He moved to New York City after high school and held a series of menial jobs before returning to Ohio to work in his father's candy store. After a violent quarrel with his father, Crane returned to New York, where he worked for several advertising firms while pursuing his career as a poet. It was during this period that Crane had the first of many homosexual love affairs. Some of these relationships were to take on a mystical dimension in Crane's mind, and they would serve as an inspiration for much of his poetic writing.
Crane also began a serious study of poetry in the late 1910s and early 1920s. In addition to American writers such as Whitman, Melville, Eliot, Pound, and Williams, Crane read deeply into the work of Elizabethan dramatists and poets - Christopher Marlowe, John Webster, Ben Jonson, and Shakespeare, among others - as well as the French symbolists. From the eclectic mixture ofthese influences, Crane fashioned his densely packed lyric poems, the best of which would be published in the 1926 volume White Buildings. In the spring of 1924, Crane moved to an apartment building in Brooklyn which overlooked the Brooklyn Bridge: the sight of the bridge helped inspire the creation of The Bridge, which occupied most of his time and energy for the next six years. After the publication of the poem in 1930, Crane was awarded a Guggenheim Fellowship; he used the money to travel to Mexico, where he hoped to begin a new epic. On the return voyage in 1932, however, Crane jumped from the ship on which he was traveling and committed suicide.
Crane's poetic style depends heavily on what David Perkins calls his "alog-ical language of packed associations," a highly symbolic and often almost impenetrable language depending more on connotation and allusion than on rational meaning. As Crane himself put it in his essay "General Aims and Theories," the construction of his poems is guided by a "logic of metaphor," such that the "terms and expressions employed are often selected less for their logical (literal) significance than for their associational meanings." Crane gives as an example of this kind of writing the expression "adagios of islands" from the poem "Voyages." Rather than using a more literal phrase like "coasting slowly through the islands," Crane employs the associational term "adagios" to suggest a musical cadence (an adagio being a slow tempo in musical composition), thus capturing both the rhythm of the boat's motion and the aesthetic beauty of the islands themselves. At the same time, Crane exploits both the sound and the foreign derivation of the word "adagio," using its long vowels and soft consonants to suggest a fluid motion and a peaceful exoticism.
Crane's complex, enigmatic poems proved difficult for editors as well as general readers. In 1925, Marianne Moore accepted "The Wine Menagerie" for publication in The Dial only with the stipulation that she be allowed to rewrite the poem in the interests of clarity. The "clarified" result, however, was so different from the original that Crane "almost wept." When Crane submitted "At Melville's Tomb" to Poetry the following year, Harriet Monroe wrote back asking for an explanation of the poem's more elusive lines. Crane provided some clarification but refused to give a prose paraphrase, which he felt would be a "poor substitute for . . . the more essentialized form of the poem itself." As he went on to explain, he was more interested in "the so-called illogical impingements of the connotations of words on the consciousness," as well as their "combinations and interplay in metaphor," than in "the preservation of their logically rigid significations."
"At Melville's Tomb" is one of Crane's most famous lyrics, its tightly wound stanzas exhibiting both his penchant for linguistic density and his characteristic allusiveness. The poem begins with a reference to Melville, the author of Moby-Dick, whose "tomb" is imagined to be resting on the ocean floor:
Often beneath the wave, wide from this ledge The dice of drowned men's bones he saw bequeath An embassy. Their numbers as he watched, Beat on the dusty shore and were obscured.
Crane explained the central image of the "dice of drowned men's bones" as the small pieces formed from sailors' bones by the repeated action of the sea and then washed up on shore, where they are mixed in with shells and sand. In a general sense, the dice symbolize "chance and circumstance" (the element of risk taken on a sea voyage, and more generally in life itself), but they can at the same time be seen as illegible records ofthe sailors, erased or hidden messages about their lives and uncompleted voyages. The drowned men's bones "bequeath an embassy" in the metaphorical sense that they pass on or communicate messages from one person or one life to another; yet at the same time these messages are "obscured," rendered impossible to read. Crane also alludes to Moby-Dick, in which men's lives are viewed as a game played with an unpitying fate and the sea is a destructive force beyond human control or understanding.
The poem continues with a more direct reference to ship-wrecks such as the one with which Melville's novel dramatically ends:
And wrecks passed without sound of bells, The calyx of death's bounty giving back A scattered chapter, livid hieroglyph, The portent wound in corridors of shells.
Here Crane's arcane vocabulary contributes to the stanza's extreme difficulty, as does his often cryptically associative logic. But the difficulty of deriving sense from the poem's language is not intended merely to frustrate the reader; it is meant to suggest the virtual impossibility of our hearing the drowned men's messages, their "portents." There is no sound of bells to mark the sinking of the ship, no recognition by those still living of the sailors' deaths; all that remains is a "calyx," the whirlpool or funnel caused by the disappearing vessel. As the ship sinks, the rising wreckage gives back a "scattered chapter," an incomplete record of the ship and her crew. This "chapter" (also a reference to the chapters in Melville's novel) is identified in two other ways: as a "livid hieroglyph" and as some kind of "portent" or omen. The "hieroglyph" - a written marking used to convey a coded message - is described as "livid," suggesting its discoloration by the ocean, but also conveying a sense of the anger or rage associated with the wreck. The portent - like Melville's enigmatic masterwork and now Crane's poem - is inaccessible, "wound in the corridors of shells." As Crane explained in his 1926 letter to Monroe, "about as much definite knowledge might come from all this as anyone might gain from the roar of one's own veins, which is easily heard ... by holding a shell close to one's ear."
Despite the fundamental difficulty of the poem's language - which at times renders its meaning nearly impenetrable - "At Melville's Tomb" remains a strongly evocative poem, in large part because ofCrane's careful use ofsound and rhythm. The sound patterning includes alliteration (wave / wide; dice / drowned; bones / bequeath; bounty / back), assonance and consonance, and both internal and end rhyme. Crane's use of caesuras and enjambment is also highly effective in varying the basic pentameter rhythm.
It is the third stanza that constitutes the poem's climax in both narrative and lyric terms. Here Crane uses a more sustained rhythm, in keeping with the stanza's elevated rhetoric:
Then in the circuit calm of one vast coil,
Its lashings charmed and malice reconciled,
Frosted eyes there were that lifted altars;
The calyx of the previous stanza has expanded into a "vast coil" as the poem moves from the immediate event of the shipwreck to a more cosmic perspective. In death, the drowned men are finally calm - all "malice reconciled" as their "frosted eyes" look toward the heavens - and they achieve at least the possibility of contact with the divine. The very action of lifting their eyes in search of some greater meaning (the "altars" of gods if not gods themselves) elicits the only "answers" mentioned in the poem: those "silent answers" which creep silently "across the stars." In the final stanza, Crane makes explicit the futility of man's attempt to find answers to his questions about the universe:
The compass, quadrant and sextant contrive No farther tides . . . High in the azure steeps Monody shall not wake the mariner. This fabulous shadow only the sea keeps.
The instruments we have invented to measure space - the compass, quadrant, and sextant - cannot measure such eternities as death. Similarly, the poet himself cannot wake the mariners with his "monody" - the elegiac lament for their passing. All that remains of the shipwreck and its drowned sailors is a "fabulous shadow": they become a legend, myth, or fable whose truth is closely guarded by the sea. Crane's use ofrepeated sibyllants, especially in the final line, evokes the sea's ultimate withdrawal from the realm ofhuman understanding.
Crane's magnum opus, the work on which he was to stake his final reputation as a poet, was clearly The Bridge. Before writing The Bridge, however, Crane had experimented twice before with longer forms. "For the Marriage of Faustus and Helen" (1922-23) is a poem in three parts, an attempt to update the Faust myth in a contemporary setting. Crane's use ofthe imagery of the modern city in a highly symbolic and intellectual poem - the poem's "fusion of our time with the past," as he put it - was clearly indebted to Eliot, but the Romantic tendency to seek a transcendent reality beyond the chaos of the city departs from Eliot's more skeptically modernist vision. The figures of Faustus and Helen represent the artist and his quest for unchanging beauty; the modern world is represented by stenographers, baseball scores, stock quotations, the subway, a jazz dance, and warplanes. The poem ends with an affirmation of both past and present, as the poet attains "the height / The imagination spans beyond despair."
"Voyages" (completed in 1925) is a six-part poem about the journeys of a seagoing lover, and it contains some of Crane's most lyrically evocative writing. These sea poems, which are also love poems, represent a step beyond "The Marriage of Faustus and Helen" in Crane's poetic maturity. As Warner Berthoff suggests, each lyric within the sequence constitutes its own "imaginative-expressive voyage": linking "private experience" with the "grandeur and immensity of the created world," the lyrics enact "a venturing out into the seaswell of conscious existence and above all into the turbulence of love."9 In "Voyages I," written three years before the other sections, we find the speaker observing a group of children playing on the seashore. The section ends with a warning: the line that separates the sea from its shore is also that which divides childhood innocence from the erotic "caresses" of adult relationships. "The bottom of the sea is cruel," the speaker concludes.
In the famous opening of "Voyages II," Crane qualifies this last statement, suggesting that while "cruel," the sea is also sublimely beautiful and a source of inspiration for both poets and lovers:
- And yet this great wink of eternity, Of rimless floods, unfettered leewardings, Samite sheeted and processioned where Her undinal vast belly moonward bends, Laughing the wrapt inflections of our love;
Take this Sea, whose diapason knells On scrolls of silver snowy sentences, The sceptred terror of whose sessions rends As her demeanors motion well or ill, All but the pieties of lovers' hands.
The almost grandiose exuberance ofthe language is proclaimed by its imperative constructions - "Take the sea," "Mark how her turning shoulders...," "hasten while her penniless rich palms" - its exaggerated use of alliteration (lines 7 and 8), and its elongated syntactic structures. The sea is a "great wink of eternity," both "rimless" (extending out beyond the horizon) and "unfettered" (free of all bonds). As Lee Edelman notes in his careful reading of the poem, Crane abandons normal syntax in order to "proclaim the triumph of imagination over reality."10 A single sentence extends across the first two stanzas, which are both connected to and cut off from "Voyages I" by the syntactically broken "- And yet" with which "Voyages II" begins.
Similarly, the language of the poem suggests a break from normative speech or writing. The metaphoric "wink of eternity" which first describes the sea is an oxymoron: how can the eternal be expressed by a wink, a transitory motion of the eye? Is the wink meant to represent the sea as an eye, with the upper and lower lids meeting at the water's surface? Or is the "wink" some kind of private communication from eternity to the speaker?
Crane hardly allows us the time to ponder these questions before moving on to other images: the sea is "samite sheeted" and an "undinal belly" bending to the moon. The first of these images is fairly straightforward, once we know that "samite" is a heavy silk interwoven with gold or silver (anticipating the "silver snowy sentences" of stanza two). The second image operates on both a literal and a figurative level: the sea does "bend" moon-ward - toward the heavenly body that governs its tides - yet at the same time the image suggests the underlying erotic narrative of the poem, the joining of wave to moon figuring the meeting of the speaker and his lover. In the second stanza, the erotic subtext becomes clearer with the mention of "lovers' hands" and the call to his imaginary companion to "Take the sea."
In an earlier version of the poem, Crane had written that the sea "is our bed" and "enlist(s) us / to her body endlessly." Here the forbidden act of a sexual encounter with the sea is figured as a dangerous "voyage," the poet and his companion protected from the "sceptred terror" of the sea only by "the pieties of lovers' hands."
In the final three stanzas of the poem, Crane shifts to a softer register in describing the sea: the personified sea is no longer a terrifying monarch, but a nurturing muse who enables the speaker and his companion to experience beauty, love, and poetry. The dominant imagery of flowers signals this change: the lovers drift under "crocus lustres of the stars," they pass through "poinsettia meadows" of the sea's tides, and they finally reach a moment of ecstatic union - "sleep, death, desire, / Close round one instant in one floating flower." Having consummated their relationship with the sea in a moment where sleep, death, and sexual desire are joined, the lovers require no return to the "earthly shore" until they have experienced a total unification with natural forces. As in "At Melville's Tomb," where the sailors were pulled under by the "calyx of death's bounty," here the lovers will be dragged down to their deaths in a whirling vortex which will give them a final view of heaven: "The seal's wide spindrift gaze toward paradise."
The Bridge is a far longer and more complex poem than either "The Marriage of Faustus and Helen" or "Voyages," and we can only touch on its structure and major themes here. That Crane considered the poem to be an important modern epic is made evident in a 1927 letter to his benefactor Otto Kahn which compares The Bridge to Virgil's Aeneid: "I feel justified in comparing the historic and cultural scope of The Bridge to this great work. It is at least a symphony with an epic theme, and a work of considerable profundity and inspiration." The poem has eight numbered sections and contains a total of fifteen connected lyrics, including a "proem" dedicated to the bridge itself ("To Brooklyn Bridge"). The Bridge encompasses a number of places, historical moments, and characters. The poem also moves through an astonishing array of literary styles, from free verse to blank verse to rhymed quatrains, from montage sequences to rhythms based on ballads, blues, and jazz. The unifying symbol of the poem is that of the bridge, which represents a connection of the present moment both to the past and to the future.
The bridge also evokes other themes that run as important motifs through the poem. In a letter, Crane described the bridge as "a ship, a world, a woman, a tremendous harp." The comparison to a ship suggests the theme ofspatial movement, a recurrent motiffirst established by the seagull's flight in "To Brooklyn Bridge," and found in the sea voyages of Columbus in "Ave Maria," the clipper ships in "Cutty Sark," the westward-moving pioneers of "Indiana," the trains of "The River," the spreading streets of "Van Winkle," the airplanes of "Cape Hatteras," and the subway of "The Tunnel." The bridge can also be seen as "a world" in the sense that it figuratively connects
North America both to Europe (through Columbus) and to other places reached by clipper ship: Cape Horn, Melbourne, Japan. The curving shape of the bridge suggests a feminine figure, later envisioned as Pocahontas in "The Dance" (who also stands for the "physical body of the continent"), as the pioneer widow in "Indiana," as a burlesque dancer in "National Winter Garden," as "blue-eyed Mary with the claret scarf" in "Virginia," as the unnamed "woman with us in the dawn," and as the various archtypal women named in "Southern Cross": Eve, Mary Magdalene, Venus, and the Holy Virgin.
Finally, the metaphor of the bridge as a harp is suggested by the visual presence of the long cables supporting its span. Music and dance are of central importance to the poem, and Crane himself indicated that certain sections corresponded to different musical forms: a "water-swell rhythm" for "Ave Maria," a "largo" for "The River," and a "fugue" for "Cutty Sark." Other kinds of music are contained in "The Dance," with its pounded tribal rhythms, "Three Songs" (the popular song and tom-tom music of the burlesque hall), and "Indiana," with its folksong or ballad structure. And throughout the poem, the presence ofmusic and sound function as a kind of orchestra for Crane's "symphonic" form. We hear the "nasal whine" of the modern industrial world; the gongs, sirens, and fog horns of the harbor; the ambient sounds ofthe hurdy-gurdy, pianola, radio, and phonograph; and the songs of hoboes, road gangs, gypsies, and steamboat men. In "Quaker Hill," we hear the whippoorwill song ("That triple-noted clause of moonlight"), and in "Cape Hatteras" we hear the bird note "a long time falling." The airplanes in "Cape Hatteras" are "choristers of their own speeding," and the bridge itself is a giant wind-harp, whose "choiring strings" accompany all the activities of the modern city.
As the proliferation of musical figures suggests, Crane's gifts were above all those ofa lyric poet, and his desire to construct an American epic out ofwhat were essentially lyric materials was, as he himself feared, "too impossible an ambition." Crane's goal was never that of Pound in The Cantos: to engage in a poetic project that would last a lifetime. In fact, Crane was not well suited - either poetically or temperamentally - to writing the kind of long and complex poem The Bridge would become in its seven-year gestation. If The Bridge is to be judged primarily as a modern epic celebrating the mythic and historical sweep of America ("a synthesis of America and its structural identity," as Crane himself put it), then it must be considered a failure, since the project of presenting a coherent rendering of the American experience from its origins to the present day is never accomplished. If, however, we read the poem less for its epic structure and more for the intensity of its vision and the accumulating power of its often brilliant lyric sections, the poem can be seen as at least a qualified success.
Some critics have seen the poem as Crane's private psychodrama, a work more concerned with his own search for personal and artistic fulfillment than with its overt subject. As Crane himself suggested in a 1923 letter to Louis Untermeyer about The Bridge, the challenge of such a poem would be in how to transform "history and fact, location, etc . . . into abstract form that would almost function independently of its subject matter." Four years later, Crane expressed the tension between "the logical progression" of The Bridge and the need for an imaginative "temperature" or "fusion" that might disrupt its unity or logical coherence. The Bridge is a precarious attempt to balance the intensely personal and highly metaphorical style Crane had mastered in his shorter poems with the more expansive and "symphonic" form appropriate to his communal and historical subject.
This balancing act was more successful in some parts of the poem than in others, and at times we feel Crane's effort to finish the poem and "get the 5-year load of The Bridge off my shoulders." Much of "Cape Hatteras," a lengthy section originally conceived as "a kind of ode to [Walt] Whitman," seems both trite in its sentiment and forced in its language. "Quaker Hill" is another of the weaker sections. Composed of rhymed octaves, it attempts a satiric mode, contrasting the new suburban world of golf courses, antique auctions, and real estate deals with the vanished world of Quakers and Iroquois; but Crane clearly lacked Eliot's gift for satire, and his portraits do little to develop his overall themes. The most compelling parts of The Bridge are those in which the lyric voice and the presentation of contemporary or historical details form an imaginative synthesis that provides a new way of viewing the world. Clearly, the much-celebrated opening hymn "To Brooklyn Bridge" falls into this category, as does "The River" - with its concentrated voyage through both time and space - and "The Tunnel," with its gritty snapshots of a nightmarish urban environment.
At his very best, as in the final stanzas of "To Brooklyn Bridge," Crane is unparalleled in his ability to combine a precision oflanguage with a unique sense of lyric rapture:
O harp and altar, of the fury fused, (How could mere toil align thy choiring strings!) Terrific threshold of the prophet's pledge, Prayer of pariah, and the lover's cry, -
Again the traffic lights that skim thy swift Unfractioned idiom, immaculate sigh of stars, Beading thy path - condense eternity: And we have seen night lifted in thine arms.
Under thy shadow by the piers I waited; Only in darkness is thy shadow clear.
The City's fiery parcels all undone, Already snow submerges an iron year . . .
O Sleepless as the river under thee, Vaulting the sea, the prairies' dreaming sod, Unto us lowliest sometime sweep, descend And of the curveship lend a myth to God.
To analyze these stanzas in any kind of detail would require more space than we have here, but I will suggest a few directions such an analysis could take. In the previous seven stanzas, Crane has introduced the two major symbols of the proem: the seagull flying "with inviolate curve" over the New York harbor and the bridge itself, standing high above the river. The gull and the bridge are opposites - one a part of nature and the other a human creation - and yet they are closely associated in visual and symbolic terms: the shape of the bridge reproduces the curve of the seagull's flight, and like the bird the bridge serves as a mediating link between the mundane world of the city and the transcendent realm of artistic or imaginative freedom.
In the eighth stanza, the bridge is figured as both "harp" and "altar," and thus related both to music and to religious worship. These two functions are fused by a "fury": the fury of creative process which will bring the poem into being. The bridge, transformed into a sacred musical instrument (the "choiring strings" suggesting the choirs of heaven), becomes the "threshold" of a new era, one in which the poet is to play a central role. The poet is seen in his three guises: as prophet, pariah, and lover.
Much of the imagery Crane uses suggests the religious dimension he assigns to the bridge: in addition to the images oflight and darkness, Crane uses the word "immaculate" - usually applied to the Virgin Mary - and describes the bridge as lifting the night in its arms, an allusion to Mary lifting Jesus from the cross. Like the bridge under whose shadows he waits, the poet remains "sleepless" - filled with creative expectation - as he hyperbolically figures the bridge as connecting everything from the Atlantic Ocean to "the prairies' dreaming sod." The bridge is "vaulting the sea" in two senses: it is building a protective vault, or arched ceiling, over the sea (also suggesting the vaulted architecture of a church or cathedral), and it is more actively vaulting, or jumping, across both space and time. In the final and most dramatic formulation of the poem, Crane proposes that the bridge "Unto us lowliest sometime sweep, descend / And of the curveship lend a myth to God." Crane's invocation to the bridge - at once his muse and his primary symbol -has reached its climax. The word "curveship," Crane's own coinage, contains within it the shape of the bridge, building on the "inviolate curve" of the seagull and forming part of the circle ("white rings of tumult") delineated by the gull's wings. At the same time, the suffix "-ship" suggests both the majesty of the bridge ("lordship") and its sacredness ("worship"). The bridge becomes a kind of saviour, sweeping down to move among the "lowliest" of his folk but ultimately rising to the point of divinity.
The ambiguity created by the locution ofthe final line cannot be entirely resolved: how can a "curveship lend a myth to God"? In the most literal sense, myth gives a shape (a "curve") to God: it makes God visible through narrative. At the same time, the "curveship" of the bridge is its most sublime attribute, that which marks it as a work of art and an analogue for what Crane hopes to accomplish in his poem. As Lee Edelman suggests, the "godhead that Crane would fortify with myth" is less that of Christianity than "that of poetry itself."11 Like the poem, the bridge is a modern creation, a work constructed by a combination of inspiration and "mere toil" that can "condense eternity."
The proem also stands as Crane's response to Eliot, who at the end of The Waste Land uses London Bridge as a symbol for the decay of Western civilization: "London Bridge is falling down falling down falling down." Crane's bridge, on the other hand, stands tall, vaults through space, and even, at the end of its curve, ascends to the sky, taking "the arching path / Upward" ("Atlantis"). While the depiction of urban alienation in the first stanzas of "To Brooklyn Bridge" echoes Eliot's "Unreal City" - the views of Wall Street, the bedlamite's suicide, and the cinemas where "multitudes" are "bent toward some flashing scene / Never disclosed, but hastened to again" all serving as analogues to Eliot's London - the ending of the proem shifts to a very different register of language. Here, Crane's concentrated lyricism moves toward an ecstatic expression of the Romantic sublime, one that becomes even more extreme in the "Atlantis" section which ends The Bridge.
Yet if The Bridge looks back to Whitman and the Romantics, it also looks forward to the poetry of the generation that followed Crane. Admired by such postwar poets as Charles Olson and Allen Ginsberg, Crane became a hero for the counterculture of the 1950s, and his hobos and sailors served as prototypes for the "angelheaded hipsters" of Ginberg's Howl. Crane's prophetic stance, his stylistic compression, and his surreal depictions ofurban life all left their mark on the poetic language of thirty years later. Crane's agonized and heroic speaker, "Searching, thumbing the midnight on the piers . . . Tossed from the coil of ticking towers," is reborn in Ginsberg's Beats, "dragging themselves through the negro streets at dawn looking for an angry fix . . . burning for the ancient heavenly connection to the starry dynamo in the machinery of night."

MURFREESBORO — Bolstered by the first-year VetSuccess on Campus program and all-round quality service, MTSU once again is considered one of the top Military Friendly Schools in the country in the 2013 list announced by G.I. Jobs magazine.
It marks the third consecutive year the university has made the list. The 2013 Military Friendly Schools list can be found at http://www.militaryfriendlyschools.com.
This year's list, announced Sept. 18, recognizes the top 15 percent of colleges, universities and trade schools in the nation that are doing the most to embrace America's military service members, veterans and spouses as students and ensure their success on campus, according to the magazine.
"MTSU is truly a military friendly campus," said Cathy Kirchner, registrar in the Office of Records. "As the first school in Tennessee with a VetSuccess representative on campus, MTSU offers more services for those with military service and their families than ever before."
"We're proud to be on the list, and proud that so many of our veterans choose MTSU as their university home," said Dr. Deb Sells, vice president of student affairs. "We've made significant progress in identifying and responding to their needs, and look forward to finding new ways to support them in the coming years."
This fall, MTSU has 1,005 students, including dependents, using GI benefits and at least 1,040 students on campus who have military service or are dependents using GI benefits, Kirchner said. For fall 2011, MTSU had 1,038 students receiving GI benefits.
Full-time staff members Ray Howell and Gerry Craig and six student workers assist veterans. For information on MTSU's services for veteran students, visit www.mtsu.edu/military and http://www.mtsu.edu/records/vets.php, or call 615-898-2600.
"A school's inclusion on the 2013 list of Military Friendly Schools shows commitment to providing a supportive environment for military students," said Sean Collins, vice president at Victory Media and director for G.I. Jobs.
Kirchner said for years MTSU administrative staff and faculty have worked behind the scenes to address the needs of students with military service. In 2011, a university standing committee, the Veterans and Military Affairs Committee, was formed.
The committee is comprised of one faculty member from each academic college; one representative each from the University College Advising Center, admissions, business office, counseling services registrar/Veterans Affairs office and ROTC; a representative from the students' Blue Raider American Veterans Organization and faculty adviser; two veterans memorial committee representatives and one student appointed by the Student Government Association.
The VetSuccess on Campus program is a collaborative effort between MTSU and the U. S. Department of Veterans Affairs with the purpose of providing a supportive, on-campus environment where students with military service may gather to obtain assistance and peer support.
Heather Conrad, the VetSuccess on Campus counselor at MTSU now in Keathley University Center Room 124, meets one-on-one with veterans to find solutions to problems, answer questions and to connect them to needed services in the community such as the Veterans Recovery Center or the VA Medical Center, Kirchner said. To contact Conrad, call 615-898-2974 or email email@example.com.
"Vocational counseling and testing is an important service offered by our Vet Success rep to assist veterans to choose a VA program and MTSU degree program so that veterans will graduate and enter a career that meets their interests," Kirchner said. "It's one more way that we can support our students along the academic path toward graduation."
Leaders at the national level encourage mentoring and tutoring programs for veterans at each VetSuccess school, Kirchner said.
"This is a project we will be working on in the months ahead," she said "In fact, representatives from VetSuccess schools across the country visit via conference call each month to share ideas and discuss campus initiatives. This gives us a great support network with our colleagues from across the country."
Kirchner said some of our most recent initiatives include scheduled workshops, "How to be a Successful Veteran" and "Getting Ready for Spring 2013 Early Registration."
For students receiving GI benefits, faculty provide academic progress in the MTSU Academic Alert self-service portal at least twice during the term. This past summer members of the Veterans and Military Affairs Committee participated in new student orientation.
In October, the Veterans Affairs staff will move next door to the VetSuccess' Conrad as part of the Military Center in KUC Room 128, Kirchner said, adding that this will become a one-stop shop for MTSU students with military service.
"We anxiously anticipate the opening of the new Veterans' Lounge and what we currently are calling the Military Veterans' one-stop-shop on campus," said Dr. Tony Johnston, School of Agribusiness and Agriscience professor and Military Committee chairman.
"We've got a dedicated group of veteran and veteran-supporting faculty and staff on campus who have done an awful lot for our veteran students," Johnston added. "I work with a great group of people on this."

Civil Rights Attorney And Law Professor Rediscovered In March 2012, five months after he passed away, Derrick Bell became the target of conservative media, in particular Breitbart.com and Sean Hannity, in an slap against President Barack Obama. After the footage of a young Barack Obama hugging Professor Bell at a Harvard Law School student demonstration was shown on all the television news shows, the "scandal" waned as not much of a news story. Paradoxically, this lame slap against Barack obama has given us a chance to learn more about the late civil rights activist, legal academic and respected author Derrick Bell. Critical Race Theory The majority of people who heard the reports of Derrick Bell's death probably had little acquaintance with his idealistic career as a lawyer and law professor or his importance as one of the architects of critical race theory. The Critical Race Theory (CRT) is a field of study focused upon the application of critical theory, a neo-Marxist examination and review of culture and society, to the intersection of race, power, and law. According to CRT racism is inherent in the system and fabric of the American society. Bell continued writing about Critical Race Theory after accepting a teaching position at Harvard University in 1969. Writing in a narrative mode, Bell contributed to the intellectual discussions on race. According to Bell, his intention in writing was to analyze the racial issues within the context of their political, social, and economic dimensions from a legal standpoint. Embracing the Narrative Much of Professor Bells scholarship discarded dry legal analysis in favor of stories. In books and law review articles, he presented parables and allegories about race relations, then argued their meaning with a fictional alter ego, a professor named Geneva Crenshaw, who compelled him to address the truth about racial bias in America. Scholarship Bell is probably the most significant source of thought critical of traditional civil rights discourse. He used three major arguments in his analyses of racial patterns in American law: constitutional contradiction, the interest convergence principle, and the price of racial remedies. His book Race, Racism and American Law, now in its sixth edition, has been continually in print since 1973 and is regarded as a classic in the field. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Noteworthy Writings of Derrick BellRace, Racism and American Law Published in 1973 by Little Brown: This is Bells milestone work in the study of race, racism and civil rights law in the United States. This was the first judicial decisions book devoted to race and racism in relation to the American law. It has been part of law school curricula for almost four decades and is currently in its sixth edition. And We Are Not Saved: The Elusive Quest for Racial Justice Published in 1987 by Basic Books: Bell initially wrote And We Are Not Saved as a foreword to a 1985 publication of the Harvard Law Review on the Supreme Court. In this expanded adaptation, professor Bell stated that although racial equality has been legally confirmed, economic equality after initial gains is retrogressing despite affirmative action. He recommended the formation of a alliance of disadvantaged blacks and whites, urging that entitlement standards include class as well as racial disadvantage. Faces At The Bottom Of The Well: The Permanence Of Racism Published in 1992 by Basic Books: This group of essays discussed the problem of racism in America and the class differences involved in discrimination against minorities. In this book, Bell discussed the civil rights movement in American society, and determined that racism is everlasting, and will forever be part of society. Confronting Authority: Reflections of an Ardent Protester Published in 1996 by Beacon Press: Derrick Bell wrote this book three years after sacrificing his tenure at Havard Law School. Bell provided a detailed account of the events that led him to give up his position as a Harvard Law School professor to protest the school's never having granted tenure to a minority woman. Gospel Choirs: Psalms of Survival in an Alien Land Called Home Published in 1997 by Basic Books: Gospel Choirs is the third in a series of essays and parables by Derrick Bell that shed light on probably the most perplexing challenges of our day--racism. Bell merged dialogues and dreams through his own voice and that of the fictional civil rights lawyer of the 1960s, Geneva Crenshaw,. Not to mention, it's not just racism that Bell pondered. Some of the writings challenge African-Americans' attitudes toward sexuality and sexism. Ethical Ambition: Living a Life of Meaning and Worth Published in 2002 by Bloomsbury USA: In Ethical Ambition, Bell produced good insight into an individual's quest to live by the highest of personal ideals and standards. Bell analyzed his struggle to meet what he termed an ethical standard. He confessed that an obsession with ambition, even in an altruistic sense, may violate the ethical obligations owed to family. He considered the conflicts of issues in his own religious traditions that he negotiated to reach a higher spiritual awareness frequently lost in traditional religions. Bell also cited cases of well known ethically principled individuals--W. E. B. DuBois and Martin L. King Jr., among others--who often strove for higher ethical standards, single-handedly and at great personal cost. Silent Covenants: Brown v. Board of Education and the Unfulfilled Hopes for Racial Reform Published in 2005 by Oxford University Press: In Silent Covenants, Bell critiqued the function and constraint of the landmark Brown decision. He asserted that he, like many of his colleagues, confused the means of integration with the objectives of superb education and racial equality. To analyze racial reforms, he created a theory of converging interests into one of racial fortuity. In other words, when the interests of African-Americans converge with the interests of whites, African-Americans are more likely to have their needs addressed; otherwise they are not. Bell admonished blacks to not abandon their real interests even when they do not converge with the majority, and certainly prime among those interests is the educational advancement of black children. Conclusion Whether you see Derrick Bell as a raving racist or a distinguished intellectual, introducing his books to your non-fiction bookshelf would be a sensible step. In 1971 Derrick Bell became the first black tenured professor in the history of Harvard Law School. That marked a significant critical point in his life. Two years later he wrote his seminal opus, Race, Racism and American Law, thus starting his career as one of Americas most important theorists.

The Corona Open J-Bay kicked off with the completion of Men's Round 1 and the first two heats of Round 2 at Supertubes. The men made the most of the conditions with a full day of surfing that included big announcements, wins, and performances.
Joel Parkinson, 2012 WSL Champion and two-time event winner, announced his retirement ahead of his opening Round 1 heat. Parkinson will surf the remaining events of 2018 and officially hang up his competitive jersey after the Billabong Pipe Masters in December.
Joel Parkinson
Earning the Round 1 win against current World No. 1 Julian Wilson and event wildcard Matthew McGillivray, Parkinson advances straight to Round 3, while Wilson and McGillivray surfed against each other in elimination Round 2.
Matthew McGillivray
Wilson went on to battle Jeffrey's Bay local McGillivray in Round 2 Heat 1. The nail-biting heat had the home crowd on their feet rooting for the local favourite, but the South African fell just 0.93-points short of defeating the Jeep Leader in his CT debut. McGillivray exits in Equal 25th place.
Defending event winner, Filipe Toledo has already set the bar at the Corona Open J-Bay with a near-perfect 9.17. The Brazilian shot out of a deep barrel to earn the highest score of the day and skip the dreaded elimination Round 2.
Filipe Toledo
Frederico Morais, 2017 event runner-up, opened the day with a big win over South Africans Jordy Smith and Michael February. Despite having the support from the crowd, Smith and February will need to win their elimination Round 2 matchups to avoid an early exit from the Corona Open J-Bay.
Kanoa Igarashi defeated Italo Ferreira and Kelly Slater in non-elimination Round 1 Heat 3. Igarashi displayed aggressive surfing to take the win over the two top seeds. Slater's return to competition marks one year since his foot injury sustained at Jeffreys Bay in 2017. He will now need a strong performance in Round 2 against Jordy Smith to avoid early elimination.
Kanoa Igarashi

Heat 1: Frederico Morais 11.93, Jordy Smith 10.17, Michael February 7.24

Jenny Burrell BSc (Hons), DipSMRT, WHNC - Head and Founder of Burrell Education
Hello and welcome to Burrell Education!
Since February 2007, Burrell Education has curated live and and now online courses and events designed to educate and support Women's Health, Physiotherapy, Soft Tissue Therapy and Fitness Professionals in the creation of STAND-OUT offerings that have the potential to transform the lives of the women they serve.
The power of all our educational offerings is enhanced by the equal emphasis we place on theory, practical application and essential business and marketing strategies, VITAL for real-world success.
Our aim is to both deeply educate and get our students confidently 'OUT THERE' serving the many women who truly need our help, guidance and support.
My name is Jenny Burrell and I'm the head of Burrell Education one of the UK's leading-edge educators in the field of modern Pregnancy, Post Baby, 3rd Age (Peri-to Post-Menopause) and Female Fitness, Wellness, Massage + Bodywork Therapies. Burrell Education also stands alone in the UK as the only education company solely dedicated to creating and delivering education to professionals serving women throughout their major lifephases. We are an unashamedly female-focused education company. The Mission is to ensure that no woman gets left behind when it come to her being deeply educated about her own body and empower to be her own deepest advocate for her health in both good and challenging times.
When I created Burrell Education in 2007, my sole intention was and still is to REVOLUTIONIZE THE WAY WE, AS FITNESS AND WELLNESS PROFESSIONALS WORK IN WELLNESS, NUTRITION, SOFT-TISSUE THERAPY AND FITNESS WITH PREGNANT, POST BABY AND PERI TO POST MENOPAUSAL WOMEN!
I'm also the creator of the ground-breaking Licensed women's Core Health wellness system, Holistic Core Restore® with close to 100 Licensees in the UK and Internationally. Holistic Core Restore was created as a direct response to the Pelvic Health and continence issues I experienced after Sub-Total Abdominal Hysterectomy. Ultimately, the education and aftercare I received post-op didn't prepare me for the life that I wanted to live, an active and future-facing life. In possibly the most challenging period of my life so far, I made a pledge to dedicate myself to creating a Pelvic Floor and Core rehab programme that 'Everywoman' would benefit from and was actually FIT FOR PURPOSE! That was way back in 2013 and the results of this programme and the testimonies of the 1000's of women we empower every year, speak for themselves! Read what 1000's of women say about Holistic Core Restore® here!
As well as authoring or co-creating all the education offered, I lecture and present both nationally and internationally and have a monthly clinic serving women at the Hale Clinic in Harley St, London.
Burrell Education also partners and has partnered with some of the biggest and most respected names in fitness to bring leading edge education for this special population to a global audience such as Virgin Active, Power Plate and FitPro to name a few.
Quite simply, my intrinsic mission and that of my co-authors, is to help moms/women and specialist professionals who work with them to realize the unlimited forward-facing possibilities for creating intuitive, real-life programming that quite simply GETS RESULTS but most importantly helps women re-connect with the power of who they REALLY are!
Because, as we all know happy, successful and empowered clients, especially female clients = REFERALS AND RETENTION ....the holy grail of running any successful business. I hope that my education and systems will take you from FEAR to FANTASTIC, FUNCTIONAL AND FREEING EXERCISE PRESCRIPTION THAT HELPS YOU FULFIL THE NEEDS OF THE WOMEN YOU HAVE THE GOOD FORTUNE TO WORK WITH.
I'm hoping that if you are currently or are a would-be a fitness professional serving women, BURRELL EDUCATION will be your ongoing one-stop education (fitness, movement, soft-tissue therapy & business) resource. Offering you some of the most inspiring and up-to-date education and information at the click of a mouse. This is a living subject area - EVER EVOLVLING - and needs to be treated as such. Thanks to the advances in technology and the amazing paradigm shift that we are now experiencing within the whole of fitness education, the game has finally changed for the better in this niche area of our industry and BURRELL EDUCATION aims to be at the forefront of this change and truly lead the way.
Welcome again, and I hope to be part of your educational journey!

The majority of applications run fine on a single server, and vertical scaling goes a long way. Horizontal scaling is often advertised as the "better way", but why? What problems does it solve? Which challenges does it bring? What risks does it try to mitigate? Let's see how we can set sail in the sea of trade-offs and get a feel for what lies ahead.

Liz Epstein
Founder, Literary Masters
My two most important accomplishments (well, technically, they are still works in progress) are my amazing daughters. When they were much younger, I enrolled in graduate school part-time. It was one of the best decisions I have ever made; I found it to be a mind-altering experience. After my classes, I would come home and we would all do our homework together, which made the work fun for me. I get nostalgic thinking of those days…
I earned a Master's degree in English Literature. My thesis, entitled "Mind the Gap," is a Lacanian reading of three of F. Scott Fitzgerald's novels: The Great Gatsby, Tender is the Night, and The Love of the Last Tycoon. Let me know if you're interested in reading it.
I have taught English at both the college level (in a state prison) and at the high school level, two very different and incredibly rewarding experiences. I love teaching, but even more, I love learning! I approach my book groups with this attitude: let's exchange our ideas and thoughts and see what we can learn from each other.
I lived in England for a time, and it remains one of my favorite places in every respect, including its literary heritage. I love Jane Austen~for many reasons~and occasionally I run a "Jane Austen Literary Salon," in which we read all six novels. This is one of my most popular book groups; stay tuned for the next one!
Alison Engel
I am a reader. I read a lot all of the time, sometimes even when I am drying my hair. Like Liz, I have two daughters whom I regard as my biggest accomplishments. I read to both of them almost all of the way through their middle school years, and was susceptible to bribes of backrubs in exchange for reading "one more page" or "one more chapter."
For someone who loves to read, it may be odd that my graduate degree is in television. It is officially a Master's degree in Broadcast Journalism, which, as my parents predicted, I never used. My career ended up being in advertising at several agencies both in San Francisco and New York so I spent a lot of time thinking about effective communication.
Whenever I can get myself into my desk chair and offline these days, I like to write fiction, both short and long form. I have taken a number of creative writing classes at the UC Berkeley extension. Through writing, I have come to appreciate good books, whether for children or adults, even more. I know how hard it is to create them!
Kathy Moore
I am a lifelong word lover! For the past fifteen years, I have signed every email with this message, "words matter," because they do. The words we read, the words we write, the words we speak, and those words that are unspoken – they all have weight and meaning. My passion is literacy, and I believe in promoting social justice through sharing books and ideas. My doctoral work was focused on looking at poetry and language as a way to better understand mathematics. I have an enormous collection of books – more than 4,000 copies line the shelves in every room of my house.
I have facilitated numerous book clubs and writing groups; when my youngest daughter was in elementary and middle school I hosted a Mother-Daughter Book Group out of our local bookstore. I love talking about books almost as much as I love reading them. Probably my favorite thing in the whole world is sitting in the backyard for uninterrupted hours, lost inside a good book while the birds sing in the treetops.
My full time job is working with teachers and coaches in the local school district. I also teach poetry workshops and am an adjunct professor at St. Mary's College. For the past four years I have had the honor of being the City of San Ramon's Poet Laureate. My greatest joy in life has been raising four daughters who are now grown. My husband Bob and I also have two young grandsons with whom we share a love of books and stories.
Courtney Rodgers
So many books so little time. For too long now I have lamented over my busy teaching schedule keeping me from reading all the books on my ever-growing list. No more. I've recently concluded a 16-year-long chapter in my life when I retired from teaching this past June. A favorite part of my work was serving as the reading specialist at Ross School, a K-8 public school in Marin County, California where I worked with learners of all ages to further elevate literacy and the joy of reading. Our reading program at Ross School earned the International Literacy Association's exemplary program award for California. While at Ross School I also served as the learning specialist, instructional coach, library teacher, middle school humanities teacher, enrichment project developer, and director of educational technology.
I grew up in San Marino, California and attended public schools all the way through high school graduating as a San Marino High School Titan just like my mom, dad and 3 siblings. For undergraduate work, I attended SMU, Southern Methodist University, in Dallas, Texas, and graduated in 1997 with a BA in Spanish and minors in art history, creative writing, and Latin American Studies. I later attended the University of San Francisco to obtain my K-8 teaching credential as well as a MA in teaching, 2001. I also hold Gifted and Talented certification from USC and a secondary CA Clear Reading Certificate.
My husband Matt, also a SMU graduate, our 8 year old daughter Quinn and 6 year old son Fletcher and I are moving east this summer to settle into a new home in Franklin, Tennessee. Starting in January 2019 I hope to begin new book club groups amongst a new set of book loving people. My goal as a Literary Masters Facilitator is to spark your children's curiosity for story because today's readers are tomorrow's leaders.
Marie Crouch
My love of literature burgeoned in Vermont at Middlebury College where I had the opportunity to study works in their original language. Having grown up in the Midwest, my introduction to Gabriel Garcia Marquez, Descartes, Proust and Tibetan Buddhist philosophers in their native tongue was a revelation. There was so much to discover, all in a small, rural town blanketed in snow! Many believe Freud's theories borrowed heavily from Tolstoy's writings, and I would agree. That literary exposure piqued my interest in psychology, and soon, I headed across country to pursue a doctorate in Clinical Psychology at UCLA, where my focus was on Child, Teen and Health Psychology. I worked with children and families on issues ranging from depression and anxiety to learning differences. While I relished my time in Los Angeles, when we landed in the Bay Area, I decided to take a break to raise our two daughters.
In San Francisco, I committed myself to volunteerism in the arts. One of my favorite volunteer positions was to arrange author and illustrator visits for our daughters' middle school and adult fundraisers. I was fortunate to become acquainted with a wide range of authors and artists and to hear their stories about how and why they wrote what they did. Those presentations, combined with my own experiences in adult and Mother/Daughter book groups, convinced me that books had the power to heal, elevate and challenge others' perspectives.
I look forward to sharing the seeds of the authors represented in Literary Masters' library and to embarking upon a journey of discovery, connection and inspiration with adults, parents and their children.
Mary Steele
My love of stories and reading has been life-long, but the intensity of my curiosity
about a broad range of literature has escalated in recent years. Reading provides
me with a reprieve from my obligations and an opportunity for new learning. And
best of all, I can choose what alternate vantage I'd like to explore. I also find that
talking about what I've read deepens my enjoyment immensely. I can share my
perspective and learn of previously hidden pearls that others found. As such, I am
thrilled to be joining the Literary Masters team.
When I am not reading, I am a pediatrician with a special interest in working with
children who have neurodevelopmental differences (such as autism). I have also
been involved in a range of community organizations, and am particularly proud of
my past involvement in The Reading Tree (now part of Good Samaritan Family
Resource Center) – a local San Francisco non-profit focused on early childhood
literacy. My biggest priority in my personal life is my family, including my husband
and our two teenage daughters.
As a parent, reading together has been one of the most rewarding ways to engage
with my daughters. The opportunity to snuggle close, share an experience, and
then follow with a conversation about a picture, a character, a choice, an idea, a
place we'd like to visit, or whatever is sparked by the narrative is truly priceless.
And, reading is something you never outgrow – so this has continued to be a way to
delve into important topics in a safe and meaningful way as my girls have aged. Join
me, and we'll explore together!

X'S BEHIND McKINNEY FORCE DECIDING GAME FIVE
Sioux City, IA - Facing elimination the Sioux City Explorers got a huge performance from starting pitcher Ian McKinney to force a winner take all game five as they shut out the Kansas City T-Bones 5-0.
Ian McKinney picked up his first post season win as he tossed a dominating 7 shut out innings, scattering 5 hits, allowing just 2 walks and picking up 3 strike outs. During his start and throughout the entire game McKinney never allowed a single T-Bone to reach third base. McKinney got a couple of double plays once in the fifth and once in the seventh to get out of those frames. Only twice did McKinney allow consecutive batters to reach and the lead off man got on for Kansas City just one single time.
The Explorers gave McKinney all the run support he needed in the second inning and it happened with two outs. Dean Green lead off the frame with a walk. But the next two men would be retired without Green advancing. With two outs in the inning Dylan Kelly was in a battle with T-Bones starter Jared Mortensen. With a 3-2 count and two outs in the inning, Green got a head start on the pitch and Kelly smacked it the opposite way off the left field fence. Green scored all the way from first and the X's went in front 1-0. Then Daniel Jackson followed and he crushed his first career post season home run to left and put the X's up 3-0.
But for much of the game that's all either team would be able to muster up offensively.
The X's had a chance with runners on the corners with only one out in the fourth but were unable to bring home a run.
The X's turned to their bullpen in the eighth as Ryan Flores continued to keep the T-Bones at bay in this series as he and Patrick Schuster combined to pitch a scoreless eighth.
In the home half of the eighth Sioux City was able to pad their lead. It started with a lead off walk of Dean Green. A strike out would follow but then a Blake Schmit single and a walk by Kelly loaded the bases with one out. Jackson then faced Jackson Lowery fresh out of the bull pen but Lowery walked him on four pitches to make it 4-0, and Luis Durango added a sacrifice fly to center to pad the Explorers lead 5-0.
In the ninth Eric Karch came on and set down Kansas City in order to finish the game and the shut out for the Explorers. It was the first time the Explorers have shut out the T-Bones during the 2018 season.
With the win it sets up a winner take all game five from Mercy Field at Lewis and Clark Park on Sunday at 6:05. The winner will face the St. Paul Saints in the American Association Finals. It will be a pitching rematch of game one as Tommy Collier takes the hill for Kansas City and the Explorers will send out James Dykstra.

Frankie Lor Fu-chuen trained a winner with his first runner 12 months ago but Jimmy Ting Koon-ho is not fussed whether he emulates him or not when he begins his debut season at Sha Tin on Sunday.
The 45-year-old, who worked under Danny Shum Chap-shing last term, has four runners on the opening day but is more focused on embracing a "special" season rather than sitting on edge in anticipation of his first winner.
"It doesn't matter too much, I'm just keen to let it happen," he said.
Before Shum, Ting worked under David Hill, Michael Chang Chun-wai and Francis Lui Kin-wai, as well as riding for legendary local trainer Brian Kan Ping-chee during his time as an apprentice jockey.
Ting was visibly excited when talking about the prospect of Kan being trackside on Sunday as he finally sends out a runner of his own.
He is saddling up Triumphant Jewel in the first race, a Class Four over 1,000m, and gives the eight-year-old gelding a chance despite saying he lacks fitness.
Southern Legend to 'find it tough' in Chief Executive's Cup with focus on HKIR: Caspar Fownes
"It has a little bit of a chance," Ting said. "The horse is still a little bit fat and not fit enough, but in that race the other horses are not so strong so he's a bit of a chance."
Ting also has Richcity Fortune in the fourth event and Peace N Prosperity in the fifth, but it is his final runner of the day that has him most excited.
"I think my best chance is Cheerful Boy in race six. His form is very good and he is going better than any other horse in my stable," he said.
Build a stable from scratch in five weeks? Hong Kong's newest trainer Jimmy Ting says 'I can handle it'
After finding out in June that he had been granted a licence to train, it's been a busy couple of months for Ting as he's gone about assembling a stable from scratch.
But the unflappable Ting has taken it all in his stride – a trait that looks set to hold him in good stead in his new life as a head trainer.
"It's good, all is fine. It's been a rush but I have been able to handle it," he said.
Who will replace Joao Moreira as John Size's go-to jockey?
As for the training style that punters can expect moving forward, Ting says he hopes to put his own spin on the knowledge he has picked up from everyone he has worked with.
"Every trainer that I have worked for before I have learned something from," he said. "I have brought different things together from different trainers to create my own style."

Having a confident smile can change everything. And Invisalign makes the decision easy because you can get a stunning smile without most people even noticing you're going through treatment.
Invisalign is the clear way to straighten teeth. This state of the art system gradually moves your teeth through a series of custom-made removable aligners; no braces, metal wires or brackets. Because the aligners are removable, there are no limitations to eating, and maintaining good oral hygiene is easy
Invisalign is the best way to transform your smile without interfering with your day-to-day life. So start on the right track today, and find out more about Invisalign.
Dr. Sullivan prides himself on being one of only two doctors north of Traverse City who has earned the Invisalign "Preferred Provider" status.
Invisalign FAQ
Misaligned teeth are not just unattractive, but they really need to be corrected because they can also lead to other oral health problems. The good news is that you no longer have to worry about putting up with cumbersome metal and wire braces – Invisalign is an efficient orthodontic treatment that can transform your smile comfortably, and with amazing results.
Invisalign clear braces have been used by millions of people to straighten their misaligned teeth and restore their appearance. One of the reasons Invisalign clear aligners are so popular is that they are comfortable and easy to use.
Since the aligners are made of a smooth plastic material, you don't have to worry about the discomfort and irritation of sensitive mouth tissue that often occurs with traditional metal braces.
The two things that really make Invisalign so popular are that the aligners are clear and virtually invisible. And you don't have to worry about oral hygiene or food getting stuck in brackets and wires because Invisalign clear braces are removable for brushing, flossing, and eating.
If you want to finally fix your crooked teeth, Invisalign is a great solution.
Invisalign is an orthodontic treatment system that has provided outstanding results for over two million patients, and that number grows daily.
The virtually invisible aligners resemble teeth whitening trays. These aligners are made of a unique, BPA-free plastic material designed specifically for Invisalign orthodontic treatment.
First, your certified Invisalign provider will map out a plan for straightening your teeth that is specific to your needs. Based on this plan, a series of custom-made Invisalign aligners will be created for you that will gradually move your teeth into the proper position.
Invisalign offers treatment plans for both adults and teens. Both types of treatment offer the advantage of providing discreet treatment since the aligners are virtually invisible.
Before you make the decision to choose Invisalign, you should get as much information about treatment as possible so that you feel confident about the process and know what to expect. While Invisalign treatment has helped millions, it may not be the best solution for addressing your alignment issues.
One benefit of dental braces over Invisalign is that these are not removable. … Braces can also be expected to work faster at closing gaps and aligning the teeth than Invisalign. According to patients, braces work in moving misaligned teeth within a relatively short period.
