If you have Instagram on your BlackBerry Z10, don't sign out or you won't be able to sign in again!
Just a quick PSA today regarding that sideloaded Instagram you may or may not be using. Users across the board are reporting that if you sign out for any reason, you most likely won't be able to sign in again. This means if you remove the app or try to load it up on a different device, you may be flat out of luck. The version that works on the BlackBerry Z10 is a bit outdated and users are receiving an error message when trying to log in.
The message states:
Your version of Instagram is out of date. Please upgrade your app in the Play Store to log in to Instagram.
Some users have said that closing out the app entirely by performing a long press on the X (tap and hold) and restarting has done the trick, a few others have snuck in after a few reboots. So try what you can if you're having this issue and be sure to let us know if anything works out.
Now of course this could be some tricky doings by Instagram to prevent BlackBerry users from accessing the app, or it could just be bad timing since the latest version is far ahead of this one. Either way, if you have Instagram loaded up already, make sure you don't sign out or you'll be out of luck until another solution - or an official version - comes along.
Detective M Downs Mar 19, 2013 at 2:48 pm
Again, so much for that 'great' working relationship with Facebook.
randall2580 Mar 19, 2013 at 9:18 pm
My very thought while reading this. The speculation is it will come with the USA launch, and I guess we have that going for us next...
westex74 Mar 20, 2013 at 10:23 am
In BlackBerry's defense... Microsoft is a minority owner of Facebook, and Windows Phone doesn't have an app. So, I'm not sure it's BlackBerry's fault.
avatsaev Mar 19, 2013 at 2:51 pm
that why i hate android sideloaded apps, make it native already
DanielLui1 Mar 19, 2013 at 5:58 pm
I completely agree.
Without side loaded apps then we wouldn't have as many apps. Better to have a non native version than no app at all.
arvind1983 Mar 19, 2013 at 10:13 pm
If you don't like then don't sideload it. Simple!
avatsaev Mar 20, 2013 at 3:11 am
Didn't even bother, because I was pretty sure some shit like this would happen
RP Singh Mar 19, 2013 at 2:50 pm

PlaybookFanatic Mar 19, 2013 at 2:57 pm
I wish someone can explain the logistics behind the scene that would allow a native Facebook app, but not a native Instagram app. Is there something that we don't know? It's almost seems like folks over there want the z10 to fail. Were they paid for this to happen? I would love to know. Even though I don't have instagram, it's a huge draw for folks in the phone market.

Facebook app is built by BlackBerry.
Posted via CB10
I'm a 99% sure that the Facebook app is built by by the guys @ Xtreme Labs http://www.xtremelabs.com/
randall2580 Mar 19, 2013 at 9:23 pm
I understand the part built into the hub is made by BlackBerry but the actual app is the old Android HTML app that everyone disliked on Android., ported to BB10
filmgirl Mar 19, 2013 at 7:35 pm
Well, first, BlackBerry built the Facebook app as others have said -- but Facebook consulted or whatever. Basically they took the HTML5 code from the old iOS/Android apps (before both were rewritten to be native) and put them in a container for BB10 and maybe added some native UI elements.
While owned by Facebook, Instagram is its own team. It is 20 people. They don't have the resources to do a Windows Phone port from what I understand, and you better believe Microsoft has a much better relationship with Facebook than BlackBerry every will.
It's not a giant conspiracy against your platform, it's the reality of trying to maintain a huge product with a small team.
It probably doesn't help when in addition to the official apps, the support team now has to contend with people using a hacked copy of the software distributed outside of official means and spread across the Internet. Shit, I'd plug that version hole too -- if only for security.
D.Vader Mar 20, 2013 at 12:12 pm
Well is it me or does it seem very short sighted to only have 20 people working on a mobile Application that is as popular as Instagram is?
Bla1ze Mar 19, 2013 at 3:04 pm
Was only a matter of time anyway.
ken2ts Mar 19, 2013 at 3:05 pm
I feel bad for saying this - but I really don't understand what sideloading is. All I know is it's Android running on a BalckBerry.
rasmadrak Mar 19, 2013 at 4:53 pm
It's basically an unofficial Android app that has been loaded onto the Z10 outside of BlackBerry World. It has not been tested and verified by BlackBerry and most probably not sent to BlackBerry by the developers yet.
Serkle K Mar 19, 2013 at 4:29 pm
There has got to be some kind of under the table business going on here... how long has it been, and how many excuses do they have to come up with to keep avoiding the fact that there is something just not right about how BlackBerry, and ultimately we as users, are being treated unfairly and purposely shunned by developers!!!
There has got to be a way we can file for some type of investigation for the blatant disregard for BlackBerry and it's user base! I am really getting sick of being pushed aside because of the device I CHOOSE to use!!
Sorry for the rant, but it had to be said.
amantisia Mar 19, 2013 at 3:53 pm
I agree 200% with you, seems like there are developers out there that refuse to build an app although its proven already that BB10 will succeed!
Cragula Mar 19, 2013 at 4:18 pm
Indeed. I remember with my Playbook on day one Hulu worked just fine, it was great, but by the end of the week suddenly "BlackBerry is not supported". It worked just fine and they had to go out of their way just to turn it off for BlackBerry..
PostMortem Mar 19, 2013 at 6:20 pm
I agree, these are the worst kind of haters. It is one thing not to port your app-no matter how easy it may be to do so. It is another thing altogether to willfully go out of your way to make something that worked, not work.
RP Singh Mar 19, 2013 at 3:10 pm
If they did this because there is to be a native app soon, then this is not a big deal. BerryReview also has an article discussing that very possibility. We should know soon. I don't use the app myself so I am not sure what kind of impact a few days without it could represent.

Could in be that the owners or developers of instagram and Netflix are shorting the stock and not making the apps to win big on the stock rather than make the apps and lose big on the stock?
Posted via CB10
Allan Godden Mar 19, 2013 at 3:25 pm
Yesterday is the last time I signed in and out. Also I have deleted the app off my device and re installed it a couple of times to fix the issue with the pictures but it did not work lol. I downloaded the app through apps.goodereader maybe a week ago.
Never used instagram, not going to start now. Don't care much about Facebook either, if they won't support my device of choice, I don't support them. Opens the door to new players.

no amount of reboots or long presses makes a difference
That was the first thing I tried before I reported this early yesterday afternoon. If the app version is out of date, these approaches can not make it up to date.

Graheem Mar 19, 2013 at 3:50 pm
You're right Allan, Facebook native for BB10 is terrible. You can't even view it/photos horizontally. Also, it always shows me old posts. I only use it for notifications, then use the browser page or sideload to actually use FB.

For those who think its Instagram targeting BB maybe it is. But what I can tell you is I used an inverted instagram app based on an older version on my android but yesterday I got the same message. So maybe they just want users to upgrade their IG app. Who knows..
Driftdreams Mar 19, 2013 at 6:05 pm
100 Million morons use this app and it draws a lot of attention. I for one don't get it, nor will i ever use it. But BlackBerry should really make a deal with these companies to be paid apps on their app store. All numbers show that BlackBerry users WILL pay for apps. Its rare to find a BB user who bitches about a .99 app. So, make Instagram .99 to buy on BBWorld. On a side note, I cant fathom why THIS would be a deciding factor for anyone when it comes to purchasing a phone. There are 100's if not 1000's of apps that do exactly what Instagram does. Is your life so glamorous that you feel the need to not only share your breakfast on FB, Twitter, Pinterest, Flicker, Tumbler but not Instagram too?... Enough!
Graheem Mar 19, 2013 at 3:58 pm
@Driftdreams - Since you say "I for one don't get it, nor will i ever use it." then how do you know "There are 100's if not 1000's of apps that do exactly what Instagram does." There are not. Also, for any app, if it's free on one or more platforms, it should be free on all.
Rise above ignorance.
Driftdreams Mar 19, 2013 at 6:05 pm
Ignorance?... You got "ignorance" from what i wrote?... There are PLENTY of apps that are free and cost on other platforms (FACT)... and I know Instagram is a photo edit app... just like many others that I've used before (which is what i meant). Come at me right when you try to address me again. Especially if your gonna speak of things you clearly know NOTHING about.
Rise above your idiocy
Serkle K Mar 19, 2013 at 4:27 pm
it's not just a photo filtering app, it's another form of social networking. That's the main reason people want it, not the filter or edit functions, but the social functions. I don't have any means to use Instagram, because I have been able to go this long without the app on any of my BlackBerrys since the app has been available, but IMHO it's just another piece of the overall puzzle that would help bring BBRY back into any kind of regular prominence if it were available in a good native app.
Graheem Mar 19, 2013 at 4:31 pm
(My original) point made.
Iamanonymous62 Mar 19, 2013 at 11:20 pm
@Driftdreams Yes, ignorance is about right! You clearly don't know what Instagram is all about, it's a Social Network, that's why it's so popular.

Why sign out of Instascam anyway? I don't sign out of any apps, except financial ones, on my BB. But CB10 app automatically signs me out all the time, which infuriates me. Instascam still working well enough though for me.

Iamanonymous62 Mar 19, 2013 at 11:31 pm
Kevin is just weaseling out of it, he was clearly wrong when he claimed that his "sources" told him that Rim's strong relationship with Facebook meant that Instagram would develop an app. He wasn't talking about a port. I suspect it's not the first time Kevin's mouth wrote a check that he couldn't/wouldn't cover.

It's an older version ported for side-load use, why the conspiracy theories?
I suspect their system changes and updates require the newer versions of their app which under normal circumstances would be available anyway, the fact that the BB10 version is being outted has more to do with the aged version and not some crap reason of hating on BlackBerry.
Pretty sure sooner than later a fully native version of their app will be released, encourage them to hurry by posting requests, not cooking up crap as many have done above... oh yeah and don't log out if you have a copy running :-)

I don't use this app, but hope it works out for those who do. Instead of side loading, I wish all this stuff was searchable in blackberry world for the average or novice user just starting out with the bb platform. Lots of folks aren't techy and just want to load it directly from blackberry world.
ronniell Mar 19, 2013 at 6:16 pm
Why can't the guys at crackberry schedule an interview with them and get an idea as to exactly why they doing that? I think that would be a good solution.
DivideBYZero Mar 19, 2013 at 6:27 pm
Why on earth would they stop BB10 users from accessing Instgram? Seems a little vindictive, without any quantifiable reason.
filmgirl Mar 19, 2013 at 7:33 pm
Because it's an old-ass version of the app and Instagram is 20 people. They can't be busy maintaining and doing bug reports and support requests for people using an outdated version of the app just because someone managed to convert it to a BAR file.
And when you consider that someone took Instagram/Facebook's own IP and packaged it and distributed it in an unofficial way and without permission, it doesn't look vindictive -- it looks like protecting access to your service.
pgg101 Mar 19, 2013 at 6:39 pm
I just might use it out of spite. I still don't get it, but I never logged out. I should take pictures of my Z10 just so they know we have infiltrated their glorious Android/iOS utopia.

If anybody here thinks this is a conspiracy, they should put on their tin foil hats. My gf on Android was asked to update her really old version of Instagram last night. She's one of those people that don't have auto update on and never think to update the app unless it's not working.
For the above poster who is clearly ignorant about Instagram. Instagram is more than a photo editor, it's used to share photos to your network. Where are the 1000 other apps that do this? It's this kind of attitude that is killing the blackberry community.

The not-for-profit Clive Barnes Foundation, named after the late theatre and dance critic who died in 2008 at the age of 81, announced the finalists on Nov. 9. Barnes' work appeared in the New York Times, the New York Post and many other publications.
Ashford and Rodriguez play Maureen and Angel, respectively, in the current Off-Broadway revival of Rent; Grisetti got love-letter reviews for his work in the musical comedy Enter Laughing at the York Theatre Company's home and later at Bay Street Theatre in Sag Harbor, NY; and Damiano is the Tony Award nominee of Next to Normal who created the role of Mary Jane Watson in the musical Spider-Man.
Barnes' widow, Valerie Taylor Barnes, oversees the awards. This is the second year of the honor. Two top winners (one representing theatre, one from dance) will be picked from the finalists and revealed at the awards ceremony 3 PM Dec. 5 at the Walter Reade Theatre at Lincoln Center. Nonagenarian dance legend Fredric Franklin will announce the dance winner and 2010 Barnes awardee Nina Arianda of Venus in Fur will announce the theatre winner.
"[Clive] was very keen on young would-be performers and dancers," Valerie Taylor Barnes previously told Playbill.com. "I decided that's what we should do…honor and continue helping young people."
The awards address fall-to-spring seasons.

wind ensemble will be headed back to Champaign next year for the prestigious Illinois SuperState Concert Band Festival, according to the YHS band website.
This year's 42-piece ensemble earned the Honor Band award for having the best performance among the Class AA (schools with 801 to 1,600 students) group. That means the wind ensemble will be invited to next year's festival without needing to audition, according to the YHS band website.
The wind ensemble performed Saturday in the Foellinger Great Hall at the Krannert Center for Performing Arts in Urbana.
, Band Director Victor Anderson emphasized the caliber of the festival. The audition process involved hiring a recording engineer. Then, the ensemble met three times outside school, brought in clinicians and added a few more percussionists to prepare.
At Super State, college music professors and other high school band directors – who Anderson said are "some of the harshest critics in the state" - will provide feedback. Click here to read what they said.

WIND LAKE, Wis. (AP) -- Divers resumed their search Monday for a missing swimmer in a Racine County lake.
Wind Lake Fire Chief Rob Robins says visibility and windy conditions have complicated the search for the man's body. The 57-year-old victim was boating with family and friends Saturday afternoon when he went for a swim and did not resurface.
Robins tells The Journal Times (http://bit.ly/L3vtHx ) rescue and recovery personnel have used sonar and an underwater camera in their search for the victim. The man went missing in the deepest part of Wind Lake where depths range from 25 feet to 40 feet.

Wow – could we have fit any more people into the room if we tried? Probably not! Yesterday's New Member Orientation Meeting was jam-packed with both new and potential members. And, the fun part was meeting and talking with the diverse crowd that attended – from education, to finance, to marketing, to restaurants, to home improvement and everything in between.
It was a great meeting – chock full of information about up-coming events and programs with a focus on the Community, Promotions and Economic Development initiatives. The energy in the room proved that working together will positively impact not only our own businesses, but the entire community.
Oh, and the food! We have to mention the food! outdid themselves (as always!). Just another reason to look forward to the next Orientation meeting!

United Capital of Tampa Bay is a private wealth counseling company located in Pinellas County. According to Managing Director, Mark Chmielewski, United Capital's job is to "help our clients avoid big losses and protect profits." It's an established fact that most people do not have a coordinated financial plan and are more than likely taking more financial risks than they need to. That's why obtaining professional advice is so important.
United Capital takes the financial welfare of their clients seriously and uses a planning process called "Honest Conversations™" – an ongoing identifier of long-term goals that provides unique solutions to manage the risks. Briefly, the process begins with having an "Honest Conversation™" about the client's finances that addresses two simple facts that: 1) no one can predict the future; and 2) no one can control the financial market. Thus the necessity for stable risk management solutions.
Other phases of the process that United Capital uses with their clients is to: take control of their financial life; follow their own master plan; and choose independent solutions. For further information, go to .
Their name is The Bank of Tampa… their tag line is "Locally connected – personally committed".
And now they're connecting in St. Petersburg.
The Bank of Tampa is a community bank committed to taking an active role in our chamber and our city.
President A. Gerald Divers is quoted as saying that their "values continue to be centered on personal service, trust, respect, high ethical standards and confidentiality.
What makes this bank's model a bit different? Niche focus. Since 1964 they have focused on some specific sectors which has resulted in their having relationships with 40% of the law firms, 25% of the medical practices and an estimated 20% of designated owner-managed businesses in Hillsborough County. And they're bringing this kind of focus and expertise to our members too.
President Divers, Terry McFatter (pictured here) and their entire team has a great reputation in the region and the state – and we're excited to have them join us in our great city. Welcome Bank of Tampa!
The St. Petersburg Chamber of Commerce welcomes member Ernie Kassoff of Hilldrup United Van Lines!
Originally called Hilldrup Moving and Storage, the company was founded in 1903 as a horse and carriage transportation company based in Fredericksburg, Va.
Hilldrup continued with horses and carriages as their mode of transportation until the 1920s when they upgraded to motor vehicles and added bus, taxi, rigging and freighting services. In the 50s Hilldrup began focusing on the moving and storage industry, sold off all of its other divisions and moved on to partner with United Van Lines in the 60s. That partnering allowed Hilldrup to significantly expand their service area.
Now in its second century, Hilldrup continues its long history of commitment to excellence by focusing on quality service. In fact, their stated goal is to "maintain lasting relationships by providing outstanding service every time; satisfying the customer, no matter how great the challenge; honoring all service commitments; employing skilled professionals….". Hilldrup prides itself on their use of technology and extensive training to support their business processes, all of which have resulted in numerous customer-service awards.

In this job I get to work with some incredible people…good folks who really care about the future of our city. And most of the time our relationships revolve around the roles we play in our daily lives…you know, I'm the chamber guy, you're the _______(fill in the blank – ie lawyer, banker, tech guy, university official etc). And for most of us, that's how we want to be known…but every once in a while, we'll stumble upon someone who we learn so much more about. Last Saturday night was one of those great moments for me when my family and I attended Terry Brett's One Man Show. Terry is a great leader of our community and a past chairman of this chamber. He runs a local funeral home in town and has always been part of those things good about St. Pete. But he's so much more…he's an artist…a creative soul who's courageous enough to put this work on the wall for all to see and say – "here I am." Who knew? – not me…When he greeted me at the door of the Interior Motives Gallery – he proudly showed me his work and jokingly said "geez Chris, I hope this side of me doesn't scare you away!"…we joked about it and then my family and I strolled through this great gallery and took in his work. And had a great time. While we couldn't stay long, his words seemed to keep echoing in my head…you see, i found myself more drawn to him – for his willingness to expose his other talents and interests gave me a deeper appreciation for all he has to offer……rather than just being defined by his business card, he showed me another side…and i bet there's many of us who, for whatever reason, may feel these constrains…but in this city, you'll find that there's an opportunity to be so much more…and that's a pretty great place to be.
We are so pleased to welcome the St. Petersburg-Clearwater International Airport () as a member of the St. Petersburg Chamber of Commerce!
These days, airports everywhere are facing challenges such as rising fuel prices and security issues that are resulting in increased ticket prices and additional charges. So, how wonderful to hear that an April 2011 NY Times article, , found the St. Petersburg-Clearwater International Airport to be the most competitively priced small airport in the nation! And the Airport's Spring 2011 newsletter, Fly2Pie News, proves this by reporting a strong schedule over the past few months that was averaging over 75 weekly flights.
Other recent news about the Airport includes:
- Vision Airlines has expanded their service to include air service to Ft. Walton Beach/Destin FL, connections to Asheville, NC, Huntsville, AL and Chatanooga, TN in addition to their regular service to Biloxi, MS.
- Allegiant's new air service facility has been completed.
- Commercial filming continues at PIE including a Discovery Channel episode of "Life on a Wire".

I had the opportunity last night to finally see a FC Tampa Bay game at Al Lang Stadium – and I walked out of there wondering why it took me so long. Every time I go back into this historic field – I just feel the energy of all the good times past – there's just something special there. And now it's home to – our region's professional soccer team. While many locals just haven't gotten into the sport, it's a game that if seen in the right venue with the right crowd – can be electric. Which brings me to -quite possibly the most energized sports fanatics in our community. While the name was generated from the original "Rowdies" icon of years past, these folks are definitely living for today. It's this mob that keeps the pace for all the fans – they're energy and enthusiasm for all the subtleties of the game is quite creatively generated into songs, cheers and jeers that keeps everyone on their toes. As I sat back and took it all in with my family and friends – it hit me that there's some good take-aways to learn from Ralph's Mob. Here's a few:
1. Energy is exponential: The mob's dancing and singing had me and my family doing the same – even though we were sections away.
2. Low-tech can be as impactful as high-tech: these folks didn't use any digital billboards or pre-recorded music videos to get my attention – simple messages delivered with enthusiasm had me hooked.
3. People will follow a good leader: this mob was proud to quickly and loudly support the commands of their cheer leader – his passion quickly enlisted his mob (and my family/friends) without any cajoling.
4: Have fun, it's a game!: While most of us tend to look at the scoreboard to identify our successes, last night i was reminded by youngest son the best lesson of all when he said: "dad, it's nice that they won, but I'm just glad we had a good time – together."
So go see and when you do, go sit as close as you can to the mob – you'll come home with more than a ticket stub.
You'll be seeing him around town and at the Chamber – anywhere there's good news to share. We're excited to welcome him back as we remind everyone of all good stuff going on in this city…ready, set…go!

Check here for the latest reports on news from Stafford County.
Dream Duck Hunt
If you're a local sportsman, you could do worse than waterfowl hunting on Crow's Nest in Stafford County. The Virginia Department of Conservation and Recreation is running a lottery to award permits to hunters who want to take part in a managed hunt of the state natural area preserve. Not only is Crow's Nest a protected piece of state property, it is not yet open to the public.
Permits are $100, and any applicants must pay a nonrefundable $5 deposit to put their name in the lottery. Check the press release for more details.
I've been to Crow's Nest, and it is a gorgeous piece of waterfront property–ideal habitat for all kinds of wildlife. At the very least, it would be one of the most beautiful places in the state to catch a sunrise from a blind.

The card can hold up to three currencies (Euro, US$, SG$) at one time, and is designed to meet the needs of the growing segment of Myanmar nationals who are traveling abroad in record numbers.

You rock Mike.
Only thing I ask, is PLEASE treat them with Kid Gloves, if you decide to listen to them (and anyone else who takes possession). I think these have foam surrounds, and if they aren't starting to go, they are probably pretty close.
I want you guys to listen, and enjoy, just be *extra* careful with the volume - high current amps or not.
On that note Mike, don't feel like you need to hurry and get them to Lou - work it out with him - but take time to enjoy them, if you want to.

Civil Rights Oral History Project On Display At SVHEC
- Last Updated on 11:00 PM 02/25/10
"When most people think of the Civil Rights Movement they think of Birmingham and Selma, but there was actually a great deal going on locally," said Sandra Conner, Teaching American History Grant coordinator at the Southern Virginia Higher Education Center (SVHEC).
Danville was one locality that was a hotbed of Civil Rights activity, particularly in the summer of 1963, though many students today fail to realize the significance the city played in the national Civil Rights Movement. To help tell the story of the Civil Rights Movement in southern Virginia, Halifax County native Emma Edmunds has undertaken an oral history project, "Mapping Local Knowledge: Danville, VA., 1945-1975."
An exhibit based on Edmunds' work is currently on display at the SVHEC and may be viewed by the general public through March 13.
Photos taken by Charlottesville photographer Tom Cogill, and compelling excerpts from the oral histories of 10 individuals who experienced the Civil Rights Movement in Danville are on display on the second floor of the SVHEC.
Full transcriptions of the oral histories on display are also available for review.
According to the Mapping Local Knowledge Web site, "those pictured provide local context for the national civil rights movement that often appears in history books and dominates our collective memory."
A journalist by training, Edmunds was initially drawn to the project because she felt personal stories were a wonderful way to convey history and reach a broad audience.
"I was interested in Danville because I grew up in Halifax County, graduated from Halifax County High School in 1963—yet I knew nothing of the 1963 civil rights demonstrations, the speeches of Dr. Martin Luther King, the violence, and the protracted legal struggle that occurred there—until I learned about these events at an Atlanta History Center display," Edmunds said. "I felt my ignorance was emblematic of the ignorance many whites have of African-American history and culture especially in their own backyard. I also felt that the civil rights history of Virginia is an untold story; we think of Alabama, Mississippi civil rights stories, not Virginia accounts. So I resolved to do what I can to address these issues," she continued.
Over the course of the past 10 years Edmunds has collected more than 30 oral histories. Her work has been funded by the Virginia Foundation for the Humanities and the Elizabeth Stuart James Grant Trust of Danville. She has also worked with the Virginia Center for Digital History to create an online exhibit that may be viewed at http://www.vcdh.virginia.edu/cslk/danville/.
"I am grateful to have received the support and resources to continue the project over so many years," said Edmunds who is currently the director of Editorial and Design in the Office of Development and Public Affairs at the University of Virginia.
On Feb. 20, Edmunds presented her work on the oral history project to the Teaching American History Grant Fellows at the SVHEC. The Teaching American History Grant is a three-year grant that brings together selected teachers from Halifax, Charlotte, and Pittsylvania Counties, and the City of Danville to study American history through the lens of local history.
This year's fellows are focusing on 20th Century History with emphasis on the Civil Rights Movement. Hearing from Edmunds gave the fellows an opportunity to understand the power of oral histories and to study how they can be used effectively in the classroom.
"If you can make the national Civil Rights Movement relevant to the local scene, it makes it much more memorable," Conner said.
This summer, the 23 Teaching American History Grant Fellows will have an opportunity to travel to several local and national sites with significance to the Civil Rights Movement.
Scheduled site visits include the Mary M. Bethune High School in Halifax, the Robert Russa Moton Museum in Farmville, and the Dexter Avenue Baptist Church in Montgomery, Alabama.
The public is invited to the SVHEC to view Edmund's work, "Mapping Local Knowledge: Danville, VA., 1945-1975," through March 13. An online exhibit of the oral history project may be viewed at http://www.vcdh.virginia.edu/cslk/danville/.

need advice on best drums available for Wii
marius12 Unsigned
edited August 2012 in Less Rokk More Talk
Hey, Im buying my son new drums for Wii and need to know the best options out there. I am a drummer and he is 6 yrs old. Ive checked out the ION Rocker and like that I can get the brain for this kit and unplug from WII.. however im not sure what games this kit is compatible with.. other less expensive kits he wears out in no time.. any advice would be helpful.....
topdrawer Opening ActI use a roland kit. Not ure what other games it works for but pro drums is all i play now and ive tried it with guitar hero and that worked
I got the kit used for 450. It has lasted me over a year now and im pretty sure i could make a good chunk of my money back if i decided to sell it. Unlike something like the ion kit. Plus i think with the drum rocker you dont get a drum brain. It is just a game controller. Plus it will be console specific as opposed to midi out

Off-Campus Housing:
I do not live off-campus yet so I can't properly rate it.
Local Atmosphere:
There are a lot of food places, including two wawas within 15 minutes. There is a mall close by as well.
Guys & Girls:
Some guys are jerks and some of the girls can be mean.
A lot of people always go out on the weekend and have a lot of fun.
Greek Life:
I am not apart of the greek life so I can't properly rate them.
The courses seem more difficult than most universities and some of the professors are not very good at teaching.
Health & Safety:
They help you whenever you need it.
Campus is small, and what little transportation you could need is provided by public safety. There is a plaza within walking distance for convenience items, but in order to find any real entertainment, you need a car. No one takes the bus.
People party at private houses. Greek life is huge, but it's not the only place to party. Make some friends and more likely than not, you'll find a party.
Off-Campus Dining:
There are a lot of really great options within about five minutes from the school if you have a car. Without a car, you're limited to pizza and Chinese food, which isn't awful, but by and large, it's not exciting either.
Off-Campus Dining:
There isn't a lot of variety, which kills me. However, everything is at a reasonable price and what they offer is delicious. The best place is Mama's because of their student discount and it's a block or two away from the campus.
Most days the weather isn't bad. It's relatively normal considering the seasons.
There are usually spots open all around the school that you don't have to pay for. The parking lot is also free but you need to sign in with public safety. There is also $5 fee but you get it back after you sign out. If you want to get off campus a car is usually needed, but there are shuttles on certain days that can take you off campus. It's also very convenient to park wherever you want.
You have to work for it but you can get it. You have to fight for it every year so that you have the aid you need. Start early so that you can work through the process and fix any problems.
The taxis aren't that great some days, but they are cheap and the bus terminal is very close by. For those traveling to New York like I do, It can be a relatively easy ride to the city and then from there there are trains.
The school is small, so there isn't a huge party scene. However, if you ever want one its easy to find. Transportation isn't needed, since a lot of the parties are close to campus. However, if you do need a ride, you can call public safety and they will drive you back to your dorm. If you are clearly intoxicated and seem to be in danger to yourself and those around you you can get in trouble. However, if you don't deem to be causing trouble, they let you go, no questions asked. There is a drinking scene, but you don't have to partake if you don't want to. It's a great place just to dance and socialize.
The sports here are wide in variety. During the weekend games, a huge crowd always comes out to support the teams. However, there are some sports that don't get as much recognition. There is still a fan following but it's not always big. The teams are usually very close on and off the field. Often times you see a lot of the athletes together. School Spirit is very big on campus, whether there is a game or not. Many people love the school and it shows everyday.The gym is also a very big place to go on campus. It's just a 2-3 min walk away from the dorms. A lot of athletes and non-athletes like to go there to stay fit and healthy.
Health & Safety:
Public safety is very close to the dorms. There aren't too far and there are emergency boxes around campus should they ever be needed. They aren't overbearing and often the appear when needed. They do make daily rounds around the campus and the dorms. They are also open 24/7, so I feel better knowing that they never close. The officers are also friendly so it's never intimidating to approach them. There isn't a lot of campus crime, however the surrounding city sometimes has incidents that bleed onto campus grounds. We are informed as soon as an incident occurs via emails and text messages.
Drug Safety:
There are hardly an incidents when it comes to highly illegal substances. In fact, I have not witnessed nor heard of an incident yet. The only drug used is weed and it is a very small population of the school that uses. Alcohol is strictly forbidden in dorms and if caught with it there will be write ups and AA meetings. No one is ever peer pressured into drink or drug usage and those who do not partake are never isolated or shunned. The college is relatively safe when it comes to any drugs and alcohol.
I wouldn't travel around campus, a lot of kids get robbed.
The diversity is terribly choppy and it's obvious that it's hand picked.
It's Insanely difficult to pass the science classes. Very demotivating. Very small selection of Professors and not only do they not curve, but they are extremely hard graders.
Easy to get in, but once your in you won't stay long. So don't even bother.
Local Atmosphere:
Super Ghetto right outside the school.
Greek Life:
I'm not too involved. It's not affiliated with campus life.

Open Letter to MSU Campus Community
Recent incidents have caused us to reflect on how to handle issues of race and intolerance on campus. The recent use of Twitter to promote bigotry and intolerance has many wondering how far has the Murray State University community really come? Murray State University is a culturally diverse campus and we have seen the benefits of that diversity. However, with that said, rights are given by the United States Constitution for others to have opposing views.
We can look to the characteristics of a MSU Graduate to help us dictate how we express any divergent views and values within our community.
The sixth characteristic of the MSU Graduate is an understanding of the dynamics of cultural diversity, of competing economic and political systems and of complex moral and ethical issues.
The seventh characteristic of the MSU Graduate is the understanding of the importance of and engagement in ethical behavior and responsible citizenship.
Students should not wait until they have graduated and then seek to espouse these characteristics. Faculty and staff should not only assume students should exhibit these characteristics. We should begin now by speaking out against injustice and intolerance in our community. Many may say this is not their issue or concern; however, it is everyone's issue and concern if we are to consider this a true intellectual community. A few misguided persons should not set the agenda, control the climate, or dictate the direction of the campus community. Remember, "Silence is Acceptance" so speak loudly against all forms of hate. Challenge yourself and make the following pledge:
"I enter this community understanding that I will be changed by having been here."
By accepting membership in the Murray State University community I realize that membership obligates me, regardless of my roles or responsibilities, to commit to and practice several basic principles of diversity:
1. Accept one another
2. Learn from one another
3. Create an atmosphere of positive engagement
4. Challenge bigotry
