The big question, or a big question, is should we define ourselves by our jobs. Indeed, how many classes must a man teach before you can call him a man? There are jobs, however, of such singularity and uniqueness that it seems that the very essence of a person is a coagulation of sweat and steel that fuses their working and private selves. Their specific sagacity gives them a universal appeal but are there comparable jobs in the modern world? To paraphrase the great Black Eyes Peas, where is the love (of romantic jobs)?

You have heard a lot from my opponent(s). I think it's time to set the record straight.
My opponent says my experience consists of five trials. Here are the facts. Since 2011, I have been lead prosecutor for the Lancaster Police Department.
I am writing in support of James Brooks, candidate for Lancaster County school board, District 1. James lives and practices three major attributes that will be demanded by this job: leadership skills, communication skills and dedication to community.
James' leadership is clearly demonstrated by professional activity as vice president of a major construction firm, through his membership and participation in the Indian Land Rotary Club as an officer and board member and his co-chairmanship of the Board of Zoning Appeals for Lancaster County.
In less than two weeks, the voters of Lancaster County will be tasked with the responsibility of choosing the best person to manage a government office that, sooner or later, will affect every family in our area – the probate judge. In this election, the voters are offered two sharply contrasting candidates with regard to their levels of relative preparedness for the challenges that face them.
Albert Einstein is often credited with saying that insanity is doing the same thing over and over again, but expecting different results.
The voters of Lancaster County have elected the same probate judge over and over again during the past 20 years. They undoubtedly didn't know the true results they were getting. Our probate court is ranked in the bottom third in the state.
John Hess is running for the Lancaster County Council District 4 seat. And I am voting for him. Washington and Columbia continue to increase taxes while decreasing services. Federal and state governments are out of control. Things must change.
We can't keep doing the same kind of tax-and-spend in Lancaster County either.
County officials have to learn to control the spending of our tax dollars. The answer is not to continue increasing taxes.
I read lots of posts as to why I should not vote for a particular Republican because he or she voted yes or no on a certain bill. They can't tell you why they voted as they did, since all they read was a headline.
Let's just cut to the chase. President Barack Obama has made this election easy. If you like higher taxes, more debt, higher medical premiums, continued unemployment, more scandals and cover-ups, plus more welfare, Muslims and floods of illegals, then simply don't vote (like in 2012) or vote Democrat.

Freeman Burns is a breath of fresh air. He offers us strength, innovation and a pro-active look into the future of our children.
Our district is growing in leaps and bounds. We have more students to educate and more students for which to build a better future. Mr. Burns will fight for our children, which ultimately means he will also be fighting for a better tomorrow for all.
In preparation for writing the last column on the best football for the decade of the 1950s, I asked Jimmy Horton to assemble as many players from the 1957 Heath Springs High School football team as possible.
I wanted them to tell me their story firsthand concerning the last game that Coach R.L. Abstance coached against Springfield for the the state championship.

This item is well made from quality materials and features firm foam to protect your drive. There's plenty of room for your portable drive and a cable as well.

Very good case, it really protects the hard drive since it is smooth. I have been using it for more than a year with no problems at all. Resistant material, it opens and close very smoothly. None.

The size of this case behaved perfectly on my seagate 250gb external hd. The inner pouch is large enough to store the USB cable. And have a great resistance against impacts.

Quite roomy, none of my three 2,5" disc enclosures had any problems to fit in, with the cables bundled. The material is quite protective and seems to work well. There is only one elastic on the inside, on the opposite side of the pouch. I would have liked to have at least two elastics, and possibly ... Read more
The protective case is very simple with minimalistic design. It's also a good protection for your hard disk. Material is very smooth and a build quality is also good.

Has a good zipper for this price. Has a good pocket inside the case. Fit well in the small pocket devices, like USB devices, cables and adapters. The design is very elegant and robust.

It is fairly cheap and does the job well enough. Some of these pouches you can buy smell pretty bad, but this one had a rather neutral scent to it that faded quickly. Room for (short) USB cable.

So I got a call from the bank on a property that was recently appraised. The property has a quarters or garage apartment over the garage. They want an addendum stating that the owner's family member lives there?! I know this isn't a huge request but it still strikes me as odd. If there is not a tennant who lives there (no rent being collected), this doesn't seem to have anything to do with market value, approaches to value, etc, therefore why should it be in the appraisal? I don't have any proof someone lives there or not, other than it looking occupied. Who knows if the owner is lying about who really lives there. Better yet who cares?? The guy at the bank said they would not make the loan if it were occupied by a tennant... since when does the bank supersede an owner's rights to property?
Maybe this makes perfect sense to someone out there but I have never run across it and naturally it means doing work for no compensation. I'm done ranting though..

I do understand their problem as an 'investment' or 'income' property falls into a different category of loan typically with lower LTV maximum and higher interest rate. I don't blame them at all for wanting an answer to that question.
Problem is, they're trying to get an answer from the wrong person. The appraiser is NOT the occupant 'police'. I would very nicely let them know that "I have no authority to go knock on someones door and demand their ID and really can't do that."
I don't know who they might get to do this but it wouldn't be me!!!
I've had orders that were suspicious and if I didn't 'catch' the occupant while I was there and find out it's really a tenant instead of the the owner, if I do think the owner is not the occupant, I do not mark who the occupant is and state that I'm not sure if the occupant is actually the owner or a tenant. It's up to the lender to decide what they want to do about that. It's the lenders problem to solve, not the appraisers.
All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men/women do nothing.
Fight Back!
We have oddles of these up here in the north country. And I've had the very same thing asked of me: give them an addendum stating that the quarters are used by a family member. My answer was to give them an addendum that said it did not appear that the quarters were occupied at the time of my visit and that the owner stated it was not rented. They came back and wanted me to state that it was being used by a family member. I told them that I could not say that because I did not know that to be a truthful statement. I told them that if they wanted that kind of a statement, let the owner so certify at closing. They had an addendum that said all that I could say about the quarters.
One thing I've learned about these is to never, never, never ever call them an apartment unless they are rented. If they are, I decline the order (don't do income properties). They are called guest quarters. UW's seem to have a lot less problem with the term guest quarters as opposed to apartment. If it is not rented, I really don't care what the owner does with it. If he wants to rent it out after I leave, that is between him and the mortgage company but it is not my problem. However, at every house that has one of these "guest quarters" the question is specifically asked at the time of the data visit, "Is it rented out?" Whatever I do after that is based on the response of the homeowner to that question.
Now it's time to go fishing and ride the bike........
I just don't like going back and making addendums when they are not justified in the first place.
Good tip about the quarters vs. garage apt. I'll keep that in mind.

I want resolution reduced?
Is there any way to reduce the resolution of the java program window so that 1 pixel is shown at twice the size, for instance? Or do I need to pixelate the various textures etc manually e.g. by making 4 pixels look like 1? How do I get "low fidelity" graphics (if I've understood that phrase correctly), reminiscent of the really old PC games and SNES 16-bit graphics?
Would be nice if there existed some setWindowResolution predefined java method or class.

PrincessPalooza 2012 - A Long-Delayed (and photo-heavy) Trip Report (Oct 12-20)
This was our first trip to the Fort, and our first trip to Disney since 2001. DD is 4 and VERY into the Princesses, so we figured it would be a good time for her first trip. My FIL flew in from TX to join us.
The trip down couldn't have been smoother - Magical Express was splendid and Garden Grocer had our food already in the cabin.
Our first night's dinner was at Chef Mickey's - so much fun!
The boat ride to & from the Contemporary was lovely and relaxing - and Katherine could NOT stop laughing at "a train that goes THROUGH a building?!?!?!"
The next day was DHS. We were supposed to be there at rope-drop, but I got my first lesson in You Can't Hurry Your FIL 101, and we arrived around 10ish. It was packed and TSMM fastpasses were for 4:30 already, so we watched the Disney Junior and Little Mermaid shows, then went to lunch at Hollywood & Vine. Despite having fun with Mickey & Co the night before, Katherine decided she was shy that day & didn't want to greet anyone. Until June came out...
And then Jake...
Home for naps and then on to Mickey's Backyard BBQ. Food was yummy, entertainment was entertaining, but First and Foremost: Katherine danced with Chip.
And ate a Mickey Bar.
Sunday was our first MK day. Let the Princess Hunting begin! We managed to get out the door a little earlier (and the easy boat commute was perfect), so my blood pressure dropped a bit. We charted a course through Fantasyland, hitting Peter Pan, iasm, Pooh, Teacups, Dumbo, and Barnstormer, as well as greeting Merida and Minnie/Daisy/Donald/Goofy in their Storybook Circus locations. (Major shout-out to easyWDW for all the excellent advice that made our touring plan both easy and flexible! Thanks, Josh!!)
Home for naps (thank God for naps!), because it's Halloween Party Night!! Katherine dressed as Rapunzel for MNSSHP, complete with a frying pan "In case I meet Bad Men!" The frying pan was a constant source of amusement for the various characters. Tiana asked if she could borrow it, because sometimes Naveen can be quite naughty. K replied very seriously that "We don't REALLY hit people with frying pans, and also it's just plastic so it won't hurt him anyway." I thought she'd fall over.
First came dinner in the Castle, with Cinderella, Snow White, Aurora, Ariel and Jasmine.
We got my FIL a "Grumpy by Choice" t-shirt, and Snow White insisted on a picture:
Out in the park:
In addition to princess hunting, we rode Haunted Mansion, Jungle Cruise, Pirates, Aladdin's Carpets, and BTMRR during the Party. And gathered candy. We were badly positioned for the parade, but had a good spot for the fireworks, which were just as wonderful as expected.
That's all I can do for now. Coming up - a rest/pool day, Epcot and AK!

We had a bit of a sleep-in after staying up for MNSSHP - or at least the menfolk did! Katherine was up by 7:30, so she and I wandered down to breakfast at Trail's End (yummy! gotta love a place that serves bread pudding for breakfast!). We played on the climber, checked out the dock, visited the horses, then got some pool towels at the Meadows Trading Post and went back to the cabin to get changed to go swimming.
No pics from the pool, I'm afraid, but Katherine loved both the little splash area and the "BIG SLIDE" (I swear, every time she said it it came out in all caps). I snagged her a life vest from the bike barn and hung out on the pool steps while she went down the slide about 150 times.
After lunch and naps, we got in a little more pool time and then were off to Boma for dinner. AMAZING. I realize it's Americanized African food, but we all thought it was delicious and loved the different flavors and spices. And the glimpses of the animals on the savanna were a good precursor to the next day at AK. Starting with Donald's Safari Breakfast:
We got right on the safari after breakfast. It was so cool! And one young giraffe was RIGHT up next to the road.
More meeting & greeting:
That evening, we took some hot dogs and s'mores makings down to the Sing Along & Movie. So much fun!
Wednesday was relaxing - breakfast at Cat Cora's place on the Boardwalk, then into Epcot for more princess hunting. We bagged Belle, Mulan, and a Tink-in-training:
Dinner at Trail's End. Just as delicious as breakfast!
Thursday we were up and out early for an 8am breakfast at Akershus with Belle, Cinderella, Aurora, and Arielle. Epcot was pretty crowded, but we got to all of our "must-do's". After naps, we headed to 'Ohana for dinner. The food was tasty, but I could have done without the entertainment.
We split up again on Friday - DH and FIL wanted to tour the Fort (they were hoping for a golf cart, but settled for a bike for DH and FIL on his scooter), but Katherine and I headed back to MK. Splash Mountain, BTMRR (twice), Haunted Mansion, Pirates, Teacups, iasm (gharg!), and the Carousel (my favorite). We had so much fun together! The line to meet Alice was long and in the full sun, so we got a hot dog from Ray's and found a seat in the shade to people watch. Then Alice went right past us for a break, so we got a chance to say "How do you do!" as she went by.
We ended the day at DHS for Fantasmic. I had assumed that there was NO chance to get on TSMM, but as we were going in a woman asked if we could use fastpasses, as they had to leave unexpectedly. Pixie Dust!!
We had about an hour, so we went up the "left" side, hitting Star Tours and meeting Phineas & Ferb, then circling around for our FP window. What a fun ride! FIL had the highest score, then DH, then me. But I spent 1/2 my time trying to aim Katherine's shooter, so I could have done much better - really!!
Dinner at H&V - I know it gets very little love, but we had both lunch and dinner there and found it clean and tasty. Not fine dining, but we all enjoyed our meals. Fantasmic was lots of fun, and made a great "last night" experience for our trip.
So sad to pack up Saturday morning, but again Disney made it easy with checking our bags right at Outpost. The flights home were uneventful and now all we have to do is plan for our next trip. I think we'll be camping (tent), so that will put a whole new spin on the experience!
Thanks again for all the great advice!

It's so cute when children that age are really *into* the characters There was pure pleasure in your little girl's facial expressions! Our youngest son was really *into* castles and of course Princes and Princesses, so at four we took him to eat at (what was then) King Stefen's Banquet Hall and Cinderella came to our table and kissed him (left a big lip print on his cheek). I thought the poor little guy was going to swoon LOL. He left the *kiss* on all day . Jasmine's costume was almost rated "R" wasn't it?
Glad you had a great trip!

Sharon Cross joined the expanding Sherburne Inn team just a few weeks ago as our resident housekeeper. She spent the winter with her husband in Lauderdale Lakes, Florida and she'll spend the season with us on Nantucket.
Having spent many summers on the Island, Sharon knows Nantucket well. She has an eye for details and will be terrific at maintaining Sherburne Inn's reputation for outstanding cleaniness with her years of service at the White Elephant Resort where is was the supervisor of the Cottage housekeepers.
She's already mastered the technique of ironing the guestroom bed linens. We are delighted to have Sharon with us this season! Her unflappable personality and bright smile adds greatly to the friendly ambiance of the Sherburne Inn.
You have a lot of choices when thinking about accommodations on this popular resort island: hotels, inns, b&b's, guest houses, rental houses and even several motels.
Since I am the owner/operator of one of the 45 Bed and Breakfast / Inns on Nantucket, I would highly recommend considering b&b lodging, particularly if you are planning on a 2-5 day visit to Nantucket without your young children.
Here are some suggestions for evaluating your choices when considering a Nantucket b&b/inn:
- Location, location, location
- Reputation, reviews, website appeal
- Your budget vs posted rates
- Personal priorities such as cleanliness, friendly staff, amenities, AC, private bathrooms, views
- Personal attention so you can customize your time on island to your interests–fine dining, beach exploration, sailing, fishing, shopping, riding bikes, sightseeing, golfing, swimming, eco tours, relaxing, reading, etc.

You can watch what historians think happened to the Lost Colony here on UNC-TV's Emmy-Award winning program called Birth of a Colony.http://www.unctv.org/content/birthofacolony
Illustration by North Wind Picture Archives/Alamy
Published December 6, 2013
It's a mystery that has intrigued Americans for centuries: What happened to the lost colonists of North Carolina's Roanoke Island? (See "America's Lost Colony.")
The settlers, who arrived in 1587, disappeared in 1590, leaving behind only two clues: the words "Croatoan" carved into a fort's gatepost and "Cro" etched into a tree.
Theories about the disappearance have ranged from an annihilating disease to a violent rampage by local Native American tribes. Previous digs have turned up some information and artifacts from the original colonists but very little about what happened to them.
Until now.
Thanks to technological advances and a cover-up on a map, researchers are getting closer to finding out what happened to the lost colony of Roanoke Island.
What Do We Know?
The lost colonists were the third group of English arrivals on North Carolina's Roanoke Island, settling near the modern-day town of Manteo.
The first group to arrive, in 1584, came to explore and map the land for future groups. A second group, which arrived in 1585, was charged with a military and scientific mission. But this second group's trip was far from peaceful.
"That's where tensions begin [with the local Native American tribes]," said Clay Swindell of the Museum of the Albemarle in Elizabeth City, North Carolina, a member of the archaeology team investigating the colony. He says that this second group was driven out in 1586 by local tribes angry that the colonists were taking up good land and resources.
The third group arrived in 1587. Entire families came with children—17 women and 11 children accompanied a party of 90 men. That meant the group wanted to settle in the New World and was not a military excursion, which would have included only male explorers.
A Map With Secrets
A clue uncovered in a long-forgotten, centuries-old map of the area called "La Virginea Pars"—drawn by the colony's governor John White—kicked off a reexamination of the fate of the lost colonists. An artist and employee of explorer Sir Walter Raleigh, White was later appointed governor of the new lands; he was also the grandfather of Virginia Dare, the first English child born in the New World.
Two patches on the map made Brent Lane of the First Colony Foundation (the group behind the latest archaeological trip and whose work is supported by National Geographic and the Waitt Grants Programs) in Durham, North Carolina, wonder if they might hide something beneath.
Scientists at the British Museum looked into the patches and discovered a tiny red-and-blue symbol. Could it have indicated a fort or a secret emergency location?
"Our best idea is that parts of Raleigh's exploration in North America were a state secret, and the map 'cover-up' was an effort to keep information from the public and from foreign agents," said Eric Klingelhofer of Mercer University in Macon, Georgia, a historian and the principal investigator on the project.
Disappearing Act
Most researchers think the colonists likely encountered disease—caused by New World microbes their bodies had never encountered before—or violence.
The research team thinks that when the crisis—whatever that may have been—hit, the colonists split up into smaller groups and dispersed.
"It's a good strategy," he said, explaining that the previous group from 1585 had been ordered to do so if disaster struck. "We don't definitely know that they do, but it's obvious that that's the only way they could have survived. No single Indian tribe or village could have supported them. They would be even larger than some villages—I mean, they were over a hundred people."
The prevailing theory has been that the colonists abandoned Roanoke and traveled 50 miles south to Hatteras Island, which was then known as Croatoan Island. But, Klingelhofer said, what if they went in another direction?
What if some of the colonists traveled west via Albemarle Sound to the mouth of the Chowan River, to a protected inlet occupied by a sympathetic tribe? (See "What 'Sleepy Hollow' Didn't Tell Us About Roanoke's Lost Colony.")
Furthermore, archaeologists have identified the nearby site of a small Native American town named Mettaquem, which may have adopted some of the colonists. Klingelhofer said that while researchers don't know much about the Native American town and its inhabitants, its existence has been verified.
"It's a very strategic place, right at the end of Albemarle Sound," he said. "You can go north up the Chowan River to Virginia or west to the Blue Ridge Mountains. They were big trading partners" with other Native American tribes.
After the map's secret was revealed, Klingelhofer, along with the First Colony Foundation, which studies the first attempts at colonization in the New World, proposed a return trip to the area, with a twist. This time, shovels would have 21st-century helpers—magnetometers and ground-penetrating radar (GPR).
Using Modern Technology
Malcolm LeCompte, a research associate at Elizabeth City State University in North Carolina, was responsible for the addition of GPR in the archaeological search for what happened to the lost colonists of Roanoke.
The process began earlier this year with a satellite survey of the site.
"What we do is we get the oldest maps we can find—so we can get a historic sense of what was there and what's there now—and orient them," LeCompte said. The point is to compare "what may have been there in the past to what is there now."
Researchers look for similarities between the old maps and the current geography of the area. Once they identify where the spots on the map correspond with today's landscape, a painstaking process of laying out a grid and systematically searching it with their GPR ensues.
The technology emits radio waves into the ground and measures the echo as the signal bounces off of various things buried underground. Essentially, it measures the depth that signals travel before hitting something that causes a measurable bounce back. In other words, signals potentially indicate a hidden object underground.
Metal objects—like the iron cannons that have been found at the site—act like "giant antennas." Graves and coffins are also detectable, because they contain voids with different densities and poorer conductive properties than the surrounding soil.
LeCompte and his colleagues found a previously undetected pattern that may indicate the presence of one or more structures, possibly made of wood, under about three feet (a meter) of soil.
"I don't know if it's one or a group [of structures]," he said, adding that they "could be joined or they could be close together." Perhaps the wood of the structures collapsed over time, leaving impressions in the surrounding soil, LeCompte speculated.
The Museum of the Albemarle's Swindell suggested the use of a proton magnetometer to enable the researchers to double-check their GPR findings. Much more sensitive than a metal detector, the device can spot objects buried about 13 feet (four meters) underground.
The device measures distortions of the Earth's magnetic field due to the presence of various objects buried underground.
"We're looking for anything that affects the local magnetic field," Swindell stressed. "That could be things like burn pits."
Swindell, for his part, thinks there may also be remains of a palisades that would have been used by farmers to keep wild animals away from crops.
The presence of the buried structure and the fence strongly indicate that there was some sort of colonial presence in the area. What complicates the story further is the presence of later colonial sites in the area through the 1700s.
Unfortunately, neither piece of technology has shed light on the role of Native American populations in the area. That's a puzzle that remains to be solved.
It's Complicated
In the days of the Roanoke Colony, relations with the local Native Americans were mixed.
Roanoke was geographically located in the crux of sociopolitical friction between the Secotan—who held sway over Roanoke—and the Chowanoke, who controlled the nearby waterways.
Tensions were especially high between the colonists and the Secotan tribe.
"There is no doubt that there was a lot of hostility," Klingelhofer said. "Not all the tribes were hostile, but some of them were hostile. They felt imposed upon. There was fighting between [the groups]"—both among the tribes, and between some of the native peoples and the English settlers.
It didn't help that the English attempted to explore the area multiple times. The group that arrived prior to the lost colonists were driven back to England, which meant when the ill-fated third group of colonists showed up, some sour feelings remained.
"It would not surprise me that the Secotan would want to be done and get rid of the English," Swindell said.
Whether groups of Secotan banded together to rid themselves of what they saw as interlopers is anyone's guess, he said.
The area does seem to hold clues to contact between local tribes and European colonists in the 16th and 17th centuries.
The next step in solving this age-old American mystery? "We have to go in and dig some holes, I guess," Swindell said.

I'm surprised the colonists didn't get killed earlier when they tore down a native American village killed most of the Indians and burned their chief alive.
what if there there was a hurricane and swept everything and everyone out into the ocean
I am interested in the Indian tribe that lived there before Sir Walter Raleigh lead the English expedition to Roanoke Island. In my ancestry information it calls the lady: Native Indian Maiden Croatoan. I have not been able to locate any name for her. She married one of my ancestors -- John Brooks. I am interested in trying to find out what her name is. She died in Kentucky so I no they moved from Roanoke.

We talked about this in my college history class. Our class guesses was that there was a
Native American attack but also some of the students guessed that maybe the
colonists sailed off to sea. The colonists were living a new lifestyle that was extremely
different from their original England lifestyle. So we theorized that perhaps the colonists panicked about living alone in the colony and some tried to sail back to Europe or find a better place in Native America that would suit their old lifestyle more. Maybe they got caught in a storm and drowned which could explain why new settlers could not find any dead bodies in the vacant village, because all of the bodies are lost at sea. It is fascinating that our technology is advancing rapidly and that we might possibly be able to answer questions that we have long been trying to answer. Especially one that involves a huge part of American History.
why would they dismantle there homes unless they new where they were going.They took them with
When I first moved to NC a few years back, I remember taking a group of students to the site. I remember teaching about it and actually writing a small historical account of the Lost Colony.
Although, I am sure there is something significant in the Lost Colony, I am not sure of how significatnt it is in the overall scheme of US history. Short of being an attempt and ultimate failure to achieve a settlement by the English in the Americas, I cannot see who benefits from this piece of history.
This does not mean that I do not find the story interesting, I do. I just wonder in the overall scheme of history where its significance lies?
My best guess is the old fashioned notion of Exceptionalism that has been hijacked by some as only meaning that we think we are better than everyone else. My understanding of Exceptionalism is more about the ambition to try and not stop upon failure; to keep trying until the task has been successful. The Lost Colony would be an example of that kind of Exceptionalism in my book.
If were in the classroom today, that kind of Exceptionalism is how I would teach it.
But I do agree with this analogy it list good reasons thank you.
Historical Background
The fate of the Lost Colony of Roanoke is one of America's most famous unsolved mysteries. What began as a strategic venture ended with a string of tragic events. By the late 16th century, the race for the New World was on, and Sir Walter Raleigh was charged with establishing an English foothold in the Americas. This would allow England to scout out resources (i.e. gold), claim some territory, convert some pagans and establish a base camp for raids on Spanish ships.
In 1584, Raleigh financed a scouting expedition in order to find the perfect spot for his new venture. Captains Phillip Amadas and Arthur Barlow returned with glowing reports of a "most pleasant and fertile" land, inhabited by a "loving and faithful" people, and it was decided that Roanoke Island's protected shores would be the perfect place to start England's first colony in the New World. With the Queen's blessing (and financial support), a boatload of soldiers was promptly sent off to the shores of North America.
The 108 men dropped off on Roanoke settled on the north side of the island and built a defensible fort. Artist John White diligently recorded the local people, flora, and fauna of Roanoke. Scientist Thomas Hariot busied himself with the metals and minerals of the island. Initially the colonists traded beads and trinkets to the Indians for food and supplies. As winter set in, food became scarce and tensions grew between the ill-prepared colonists and the Roanoke Islanders. By spring, there was open conflict between the parties. At war with the Native Americans, and tired of waiting for overdue supply ships, when the colonists saw Sir Francis Drake's fleet passing by, they hopped on board and headed back to England. The tardy supply ships showed up just days later, and a group of 15 men were left to "hold down the fort" until a new group of settlers could be recruited.
For his second attempt at colonization, Sir Walter Raleigh decided to mix it up and add women and children to the group. He offered each settler a plot of land in the "cittie of Raleigh" that they were sent to establish. These brave new colonists (two of them pregnant!) arrived at Roanoke in July of 1587. They had planned to make a quick stop to resupply the 15 soldiers and then move inland. Upon their arrival, they found little evidence of the soldiers, and it was feared to be too late in the season to safely venture further. The colonists were left on Roanoke to settle in the abandoned ruins of their predecessors. Shortly after the colonists arrived, they celebrated the birth of the first English child in the New World, baby Virginia Dare.
Relations with the Native Americans were still troubled and grew worse after a series of miscommunications and ill-fated actions by the colonists. John White, now governor of the fledgling colony, left for England on what was to be a quick supply run. The colonists were instructed to leave a note if they moved on or ran into trouble. Due to a series of unfortunate events, White was unable to return for three years. Upon his belated homecoming, he found his family and community missing and the colony in ruins. The letters "CRO" were carved into a tree near the water, and "CROATOAN" was carved into the gate post. In what must have been a most frustrating situation, White was forced to leave with his ship without searching for the colony. White would make several more attempts to find his family and friends, but the fate of the Lost Colony of Roanoke remains a mystery to this day. Theories abound on the fate of the settlers: drought-induced starvation, Spanish attack, lost at sea trying to return home or the possibility that the colonists moved inland and set up camp with the friendly Indians on Croatoan. We may never know what happened to the Lost Colony, but finding where the settlement was on Roanoke Island would be a great place to start unravelling this 400-year-old mystery.Fort Raleigh Site Timeline

It's very interesting. Hope this mystery can finally be solved for the sake of history.
Good research and finding. I agree wi this
Rick Savage should be employed finding Roanoke settlers
What is the connection between Roanoke Island and Roanoke the city, in Virginia? Being born in that city I've long wondered if the name came with settlers from the island. the Roanoke valley is one of the most protected ( from weather and possibly natives) areas in the region. There is no good explanation for the coincidence of names.
I wait patiently to learn what was discovered.
J Henry, your comments were most realistic. I agree with your reasoning.
wow! for years I've been sitting in class wondering what it meant. maybe we could even find Amelia Airheart in another 200 years!
Following some good ole diggin'that surely needs to be done, I am sure should any human remains come up, they would be subject to modern DNA discovering techniques. That should give some more light on the interesting matter...
There is evidence that they were assimilated into the native populations:
"John Lawson was an early English explorer who left a permanent record of his travels among the tribes of the Carolinas. He commenced his journey on December 28th, 1700. Lawson's History of North Carolina is regarded as the standard authority for the period it covers, and he says that there was a band of Indians in the eastern part of North Carolina known as Hatteras Indians, that had lived on Roanoke Island and that these told him that many of their ancestors were white people and could "talk in a book." That many of these Indians had grey eyes that were found among no other Indians, that they were friendly to the English and were ready to do all friendly services.
He says it is probable that White's Colony miscarried for want of timely supplies from England, or through the treachery of the natives, for we may reasonably suppose that the English were forced to cohabit with them and that in process of time, they conformed themselves to the manners of their Indian relations....
"Just when the colonists and Indians, with whom they amalgamated, removed to the interior is not certainly known, but it is believed to have been as early as 1650. At the coming of the first white settlers to what is now known as Robeson County, there was found located on the banks of the Lumber River a large tribe of Indians, speaking the English language, tilling the soil, owning slaves, and practicing many of the arts of civilized life. And what is of greater significance, a very large number of the names appearing among the Lost Colony are to be found among the Croatan Indians, a fact inexplicable upon any other hypothesis than that the Lost Colony amalgamated with the Indians.
it was a lot of reading bet i think that it was very facttuwal
The carved 'Croatoan' seems an obvious indication that is where they were headed. This did put them closer to the Secotan tribe with which they had the worst relationship of all the tribes. Looking at the map, it seems that they might feel Croatoan would offer a more defensible position and one where they could hope for rescue.
It makes no sense for them to have traveled to some place unknown to possible rescuers. I think that an extensive search, such as that undertaken, could turn up similar possible houses or fences almost anywhere. They definitely intended to head to Croatoan. The unfinished message on the tree suggests they left in a hurry (probably wore out their welcome with neighboring tribes). Indians may have killed them or as someone else has suggested a hurricane or storm may have washed them off the face of the earth.
Just wondering if there has been any work on the weather patterns of that time in history. Could a hurricane have devastated those exposed islands?
I have always thought this story was super creepy. Can you imagine the colonists trying to escape and communicate where they were going, by carving "Croatoan" into the gate post, then trying to write it again in a tree but only able to finish the letters "Cro" before being force to flee. Creepy!
greed was the thing back then.to much greed will bring much pain. B.A.GRIMM
The second expedition ended its year-long stay by attacking the Roanoke Indian town of Dasemunkepuec and beheaded its leader. The expedition leader spread ill-will wherever he went. It is doubtful that the local nations, Chowanoke, Secotan, Moratuc and Weapemoc would have allowed a fort or a settlement at the Albemarle/Chowan/Roanoke crossroad. Also, the third group of settlers probably would be diying of hunger and disease while attempted to settle to another location. I wish the researchers good luck on their quest.
....discovered a tiny red-and-blue symbol. Could it have indicated a fort or a secret emergency location?
"Our best idea is that parts of Raleigh's exploration in North America were a state secret, and the map 'cover-up' was an effort to keep information from the public and from foreign agents"
Oh, those nasty politicians, always hiding, lurking and tapping everyone cell phones. When will ever end?
Just kidding. Intrigue is just another human emotion and we shouldn't be shocked that it is going on today. Well I am not anyway, I have nothing to hide. But I did inhale back in the eighties!
In 1492 Columbus Discovered America. When he returned to Spain he left behind a colony of 39 Spanish men near what is now Cap-Haïtien in Northern Haiti. When he returned in 1493 he found that all of those 39 men were dead, having been eaten by the Taino Indians. The Taino Indians complained that the Spanish men had monopolized all the Indian women, taking five women for each man. Columbus found the arm of one of the men in a cooking pot in an Indian hut. Does this help explain what happened to the lost colony of Roanoke Island? In view of the absence of three years, it would explain what happened to the dead bodies of the more than one hundred English settlers when the ships returned three years later in 1590.
Fascinating! - Had heard of the Roanoke mystery, but obviously it is still unresolved. A most unfortunate decision to send a bunch settlers with women & children into an area where a military group had previously been driven off. - Wasn't that a hint????
I'm interested in this but sorry I had to read this article. It's the Internet Age. Indicate a Subject, give straight and direct information. This article rambles everywhere but there.
Plus -- I guess you'd have to be a scientist or maybe an academic to not think these people went to WHERE THEY CARVED A NAME IN A TREE....gosh...get a clue.
@Shirley Wright Seriously, I would actually like to get to know an ACTUAL ancestor of this lost Roanoke Colony! You have to have some family stories of life in the colony or her means of travel to Kentucky, Absolutly marvelous, dyeing to hear more!
@Shirley Wright thats really cool think about it you could be an ansetor of the people from the missing colony that awesome
@jerry satter what if they were killed off n they native americaan dematled the homes n used the wood
@Erik Kajca Wow, How can you not see it's historical value. It was the first attempt at a settlement with actual families. Virginia Dare was the first child ever born on American soil. If you can't see the value I shutter to think you are teaching our children.
@Erik Kajca You are a teacher of some sort? And you don't see how significant the Lost Colony is? Are you a Gym teacher?
These settlers were the first. Before Jamestown....the first people who came with the idea of living here, and the first who made their home here from Europe. The were the first European women in the new world, who gave birth to the first child,...and they disappeared without a trace.
I have to say, I'm really confused how somebody could NOT find it extremely significant, much less a somewhat educated person...
Somehow this isn't historically valid, but an example of "Exceptionalism",...I don't know when I've heard something so abstract.
What exactly do you teach?
@Phillip Harry I would MUCH rather have you as my history teacher than that Erik Kajca so-called teacher (above). THANKS for your time writing this. Most appreciated.
@David Stacy Hurricanes erasing land evidence was my initial thought when I first read about the lost colony. It is a vulnerable area. Couldn't the entire coastline (and islands) have been altered? I haven't run across any research in support of the theory.
Greedy Native Americans refusing to share the land with the brave colonists? I thought Native Americans rejected the idea of land ownership and that the land was for everyone.
The Native Americans had no right to prevent undocumented citizens from another land from simply moving into the Native American's land. Or so I am told by La Raza.
@Ben Mclovein GREED IS AN ON GOING DIESEAE
Colonists - the other, other white meat
@Sam Sloan You do realize that Hispaniola isn't in present day North Carolina, correct? You just drew parallels between two peoples that most likely never were aware of the other. Which means they were culturally distinct from the Antillean Islands cultures. Maybe you should look at the other cultures that surrounded present day North Carolina instead of one tribe out of thousands covering two continents. If not, you might as well compare the inhabitants of the Roanoke Islands with Indians in India. It would be roughly just as accurate.
But those Indians were not ever known to be cannibals. I thought that it was the Carib Indians that did the cannibalizing. All of the other tribes in the Caribbean were terrified of them, for some strange reason. (humor) And the Caribbean would have been a long way from the North Carolina area in those days.
"Plus -- I guess you'd have to be a scientist or maybe an academic to not think these people went to WHERE THEY CARVED A NAME IN A TREE....gosh...get a clue."
if it's so obvious that they went there, why is there no evidence of them ever being there? yeah, thought so. might want to work on the critical thinking skills a bit there bud
@Taylor Piercefield @Erik Kajca They certainly were not the First Europeans in the new world to settle down...the first European child born in the continental USA was Martín de Argüelles in 1566 in St. Augustine, which was founded decades before the Lost Colony.
@laurence Soronen Hmmmm ... so, not greedy colonists helping themselves to established resources of the natives? If your second para is correct, how do most countriest today justify their immigration restrictions on refugees, for instance, or others seeking to live in their space?
@laurence Soronen I think you just lumped millions of different people into one generalization.
@cj h.Intending to go there doesn't mean they made it. They were presumably moving for a reason, and the move to an island suggests that it was hostile locals. If they tried to make the whole journey by sea, what were they using for boats? I suspect they wouldn't have had many (if any) decent ones, and may have tried to do it on improvised rafts that would not have survived any rough weather. If they tried to make part of the journey by land, the hostiles would have probably been able to destroy them in a series of ambushes just as other small groups wiped out Cabeza de Vaca's large armed expedition in just a few days. All this apart from simple hardships of the journey that might have seen them all perish en route.
@cj hoef You comment contains nothing constructive and is chalked full of anger. I hope figure out what you are angry about. I doubt it is National Geographic. I'd hate for you to hurt yourself or someone else due to unresolved anger issues.
Carving the name may only means they were planning on going there, not that they made it. The partial carving may indicate they were interrupted, say by an attack. The attack may not kill everyone but might drive them into ill prepared, overloaded boats and rafts. Such craft would be very vulnerable to the weather turning bad. Such a scenario would mean most of the artifacts we are hoping for are lost in the mud of the bay. Any scattered survivors would be completely at the mercy of the tribe on whatever shore they washed up on.
Another theory might be the natives on Croatan wouldn't let them land so they had to go somewhere else in an area where nobody really likes them and many hate them. They may have been weakened enough by disease and or combat that they could no longer force the issue.
@cj hoef
If, instead of being so eager to slap someone with the 'you might want to work on your critical thinking skills' chestnut, you had done something as basic as look at a simple wiki on the subject, you would have begun to discover that there is plenty of documented evidence in the form of explorer's journals and other document-based or oral-history-based sources as well as genetic evidence, that supports the conclusion that the colonists were absorbed into one or more of the nearby tribes including the Croatoans. Enough so that most serious historians consider the 'mystery' solved, give or take one or two minor details.

Petition the Burzynski Clinic to release data.
We the undersigned wish to encourage the Burzynski clinic, which claims to have developed a radical new treatment for cancer, to release and make public all the trial data it has collected over the past thirty years into Antineoplastons. The failure of the clinic to publish the results of trials is nothing less than scandalous. If the clinic truly believes this shows the efficacy of the treatment than it is their moral and ethical duty to provide the evidence that this is the case. We would also like the clinic to make the trial protocols publicly available so the scientific community working to treat and cure cancer can truly critically appraise it's work.
