Automated detection and response to attacks
Learn how to monitor and block attacks without lifting a finger.
One of the first things I learned about computer security was logging [1]. If you don't have logs, then trying to reconstruct what happened when something breaks, or when you get broken into, is almost impossible. The second thing I learned was that you have to centralize your logging; this is the only way to get a complete picture and ensure that an attacker can't simply wipe the logs on a compromised host, leaving you nothing to work with. But none of this will alert you to an attacker or, even more importantly, stop an attacker from getting in. It will simply give you something to look at once you figure out you have been broken into. For this, you need a human being in the loop, right? Well, you either need a human being or some smart software.
Wouldn't it be great if you could monitor critical logfiles (like mail and web) and actually have something respond to attacks, notifying you and even blocking the attacker from further access if you so wished? Well you're not the only one. Daniel B. Cid is the lead developer of the OSSEC project, an effort to build an open source host-based intrusion detection system [2]. OSSEC uses a traditional server and agent approach: You install the agent software on each system you want to monitor, and a central server collects all the data and sends out alerts. Additionally, the OSSEC project has released a web-based interface; however, it is only capable of reporting. Unfortunately, it can't be used to configure the system.
Installing OSSEC
When installing OSSEC, you have three options. The server option allows you to have it monitor itself and collect alerts from other systems. The agent option simply monitors local events and fires anything interesting off to the server. The local option runs the monitoring locally and can send email alerts, but it does not listen for any remote agents (so if you have one server or want to test it, this is the option for you). Simply download the OSSEC package (ossec-hids-2.0.tar.gz") and unpack it to a directory:
# wget http://www.ossec.net/files/ossec-hids-2.0.tar.gz # tar -zxf ossec-hids-2.0.tar.gz # cd ossec-hids-2.0 # ./install.sh
Now you simply choose your language, your server type, and whether you want to run the integrity check daemon, run the rootkit detection engine, enable active response, and enable the firewall to block attacks. If you are setting the system up as an agent, you also need to point it to your server and paste in the agent key. The agent key is a long string used to secure communications between an agent and the server, preventing fake messages from being injected, and so on. Why is it important to prevent spoofed or fake messages from being sent to the server?
If an attacker can trigger fake or spoofed attacks and a system blocks IP addresses or users because of this, the attacker can easily block legitimate systems and lock users out. In a worst case scenario, you might have to break into your own system if your accounts are locked out, which is why most HIDS and NIDS support whitelisting (see the "HIDS vs. NIDS" box). Administrators simply create a list of hosts and networks that are critical. Of course, determining which hosts are critical depends on the exact setup (DNS, email, file servers, authentication servers, routers, etc. are all a good place to start). With OSSEC, the whitelist is held in the ossec.conf file (by default, this is kept in /var/ossec/etc/), and you can specify individual hosts or networks:
<global> <white_list>127.0.0.1</white_list> <white_list>126.96.36.199</white_list> <white_list>10.0.0.0/8</white_list> <white_list>192.168.0.0/16</white_list> </global>
HIDS vs. NIDS
Host-based intrusion detection systems (HIDS) are generally defined as applications that run on specific systems and monitor local logfiles, inbound network activity, and other items to detect hostile behavior. The advantage of HIDS is that it has deeper access to a system and can correlate local events easily (e.g., a web application error followed by a new user being added). The disadvantage of HIDS is that you must install software on each system you want to protect and manage many endpoints.
Network intrusion detection systems (NIDS) typically consist of one or more network-based sensors deployed at network choke points (such as firewalls) or attached to switches that are configured to replicate traffic to the sensor. The advantage of NIDS is that you can cover large portions of a network and network traffic with a minimal number of sensors. The disadvantage of NIDS is that you could miss internal attacks that don't cross monitored networks, and you can't see deeply into a system.
Running OSSEC
The OSSEC program comes with its own control program called ossec-control. Additionally, when installed on Red Hat Linux or CentOS, a standard set of rc.d/init scripts will be added, allowing the OSSEC services to be control through the standard chkconfig utility. When OSSEC is running, you should see a number of programs running.
The monitoring processes generally need to run as root:
USER PID COMMAND ossecm 17381 /var/ossec/bin/ossec-maild root 17385 /var/ossec/bin/ossec-execd ossec 17389 /var/ossec/bin/ossec-analysisd root 17393 /var/ossec/bin/ossec-logcollector root 17405 /var/ossec/bin/ossec-syscheckd ossec 17409 /var/ossec/bin/ossec-monitord

BELLEVUE Bellevue s Downtown Business Association believes it is time to discuss a potential arena on the Eastside.
We think it s good for the region to have more than one option, more than one way to grab that brass ring, said Leslie Lloyd, president of the association. Bellevue has always been in the mix.
Lloyd hosted a breakfast discussion called The Arena Opportunity on Tuesday morning. City Manager Steve Sarkozy spoke at the meeting, along with Brian Robinson, founder of Arena Solution, a group of business and civic leaders seeking a new arena for the Puget Sound region.
The meeting was scheduled long before trust fund manager Chris Hansen announced his plan for a Seattle arena. Bellevue civic and business leaders have been quietly pursuing an NHL/NBA arena project for more than a year.
Sources say potential arena investors have kicked the tires on property on Auto Row, near 405, along Bel-Red, and near the old Safeway distribution site on 124th. Chicago minor league hockey owner Don Levin, acknowledged he visited Bellevue last year, and that he s interested in owning an NHL franchise in Western Washington.
I believe the region has a number of options, and Bellevue has been really classy about it, said Robinson. (Bellevue) would love to be a city to host the NBA. Bellevue has some great options.
Lloyd acknowledges it is likely early in the game, but believes it is time to hold a public discussion about the prospects. This is the time to make it a public, or community conversation, says Lloyd.
Real Estate broker Craig Kinzer and Goldman Sachs Managing Director Tim Romer were also expected to speak. The DBA said the event was sold out.

ALBANY - Not only has Gov. David Paterson proposed substantial cuts to public schools, but he has promoted deep financial cuts to the State University system - $90 million worth.
In response, SUNY Chancellor Nancy Zimpher said recently that Paterson's reductions carry major economic ramifications.
"People will see a change in quality," she said. "And we can't afford that academically - To say these cuts don't have a profound impact would be wrong."
Phillip Smith, president of United University Professions, testified before a joint legislative committee, stating that the SUNY system is already being forced to turn away thousands of qualified students.
Smith said Paterson's cuts would eliminate about a quarter of SUNY's total operating budget.
"Funding for SUNY, if this is allowed to go forward, would be 80 million dollars less than it was in 1990," he said. "And yet we have 40,000 more students in our institution."
Paterson has acknowledged the cuts are deep - but he's also reiterated that he will not budge. The Governor has repeatedly stated that if legislators refuse to make the tough decisions, he'll do it for them.
But Smith said the SUNY system is taking a disproportionate hit. According to his math, Paterson's proposed cuts slash about $500 million from SUNY operations over the next two years.
"This would be a 25 percent cut to the budgets of all agencies combined," Smith said. "It just begs the question: why is public higher education being targeted in this manner?"
Carol Brown, president of North Country Community College said that Paterson's budget, if passed, would have a dramatic effect on the region. She said she was more optimistic than Smith, however. because of several other proposals being discussed by the state legislature.
Paterson has proposed to allow each individual SUNY school to set its own tuition and he also wants to let institutions enter into more public-private endeavors. Brown says that will also prompt colleges to become more fiscally creative.

The Russians are coming
|This article does not cite any references or sources. (December 2007)
The Russians are coming is a phrase attributed to United States Secretary of Defense James Forrestal in 1949. In full, Forrestal said "The Russians are coming. The Russians are coming. They're right around. I've seen Russian soldiers."
Forrestal allegedly uttered those words while suffering from mental illness, not long before purportedly committing suicide. The allegation originated with Forrestal's bitter political enemy, columnist Drew Pearson, and has been verified by no other person. This is what Townsend Hoopes and Douglas Brinkley have to say about the episode in their 1992 book, Driven Patriot, the Life and Times of James Forrestal:
Pearson had, in fact, decided to fire his heaviest ammunition in a radio broadcast on April 9. He charged that Forrestal, awakened by the sound of a fire siren (on the night of April 1 at Hobe Sound), had rushed out of his cottage screaming, "The Russians are attacking." He defined Forrestal's condition as "temporary insanity." In subsequent newspaper columns he asserted that Forrestal made three suicide attempts while in Florida – by drug overdose, by hanging, and by slashing his wrists. According to a later statement by [Navy psychiatrist Captain George] Raines, all of these assertions were lies.
– pp. 455–456.
Uses of the phrase[edit]
- As the title of a song by Val Bennett (which was itself a reggae version of Paul Desmond's classic jazz song Take Five)
- The title of the movie The Russians Are Coming, the Russians Are Coming was inspired by this phrase.
- As the title of a documentary – five of Russia's most promising young television reporters took a journalistic tour of small towns across the United States. [1]
- The title of an episode of the first series of Only Fools and Horses.
- The title of a book by Irish writer Denis Sugrue, Limerick Leader, Sept. 2010, "Limerickman falsely accused of being a 'KGB spy reveals all about his ordeal"
- The Russians Are Coming! The title of a book by English writer Erik Gustafson (2014) ISBN 9781291800678
- The title of a book by Russian Canadian writer Lily Alex [2] PublishAmerica (Jan, 2003) Language:English [3] ISBN 1591294584 [4]
- The title of a composition by Robert Volkmann
- An allusion to the phrase is made in the film The Spy Next Door

Tomatoes. Notes.
Summer conjures images of lazy days, hammocks, beaches, bare feet, lemonade…all that good stuff. Let's pretend for a moment that that's why I've been so absent here.
That was nice.
The real reason is that I'm in a season of lots of work, work travel, and more wedding weekends than a person should be able to attend and still come out sane on the other side (we've had to turn the experience into a Bingo-style game to survive). Combine this with the fact that I coordinate our summer farm market, a few black bear incidents, the death of one friend, the birth of another friend's baby…I'm a little spent.

Spring, in sum
I'm not really sure how this is possible, but between late-coming warmer temperatures and the impending solstice, I seem to have missed documenting an entire season here. It's been muggy and very warm here, per the rules for Virginia-in-June, and I'd feel remiss if I didn't write down a few notes before it's full-blown summer.

you ought to prize this
I was the lucky recipient of an unexpected windfall last weekend. Ben's grandmother is in the process of moving out of her home of 50 years, and, in that sad-ish but grateful way, her son and daughters are kept busy divvying up the accumulated belongings that would otherwise become the casualties of downsizing.
My haul from this process was a yellowing envelope, cracked and brittle at the corners. Ben's mom placed it in my hands, telling me, "I knew this was for you."

Chewy granola bars with pecans & figs,
breakfast confessions, & more
I am bad at breakfast. While it may be easy to assume that I, of the let's-cook-dinner-every-single-night! ilk, eat a decent breakfast every morning, that would be incorrect. (Especially if by "incorrect", you mean "resoundingly, totally not true".) There are a lot of factors that culminate in me messing up breakfast, but the main one is this: I take a train into the city at an hour that makes most people cringe, and I'm just not that hungry when it is kind of-sort of STILL NIGHTTIME.

I will lose my trust fund if I ever get married. (ok, not really)
I have no trust fund, but I have a good job and enjoy my work. I must admit, I supplement any satisfaction from my career with community work and trying to do anything I can to give back. This is what makes my blood pump - doing things for others and helping people who need it. I grew up in the northeast and moved to the Atlanta area in 1998. I enjoy working out (kind of my hobby) and work out with a GREAT group of people at a cross fit gym in my area. It is always a ton of fun and VERY challenging. I also enjoy the indoors too and spending it with someone special watching a movie on a cold rainy day. (who doesn't?) I look forward to finding a special someone to travel with as well. I'm looking for someone who's honest, positive, funny, fun, responsible, adventurous, grateful, and kind. I'm looking for the real thing, but believe it starts with a friendship and takes time to cultivate. I don't play games and appreciate the same. Good luck!

Very roomy
Par Kathy
de Timmins
Ordered the only size available which was the plus size and unfortunately it was much too big. I really liked the style, colour and material and would have reordered had smaller sizes been available.

orange ? still not happy
Par Margaret
de Toronto
I bought this top in regular size, I am Large and the fit was good, what I not liked was underarms, low cut, showing a bit too much , unless combined with the camisole, soft fabric, but nothing I can WOW about !!!!
En résumé
Non, je ne recommanderais pas ceci à un ami
Comfortable but a bit too roomy!
Par Nana
de Peterborough
This is a very comfortable top but it is cut in a way that makes me look heavier than I would like and it may look too big on petite women. I would recommend this for comfort around the house for those with a perfect figure but for large ladies or petite ladies it may not work.
Par Barb
de North of 53
Really love the feel of these sweaters, bought in charcoal and brown,(more of a very deep merlot)incredibly soft, washed well, will look for more from Orange Fashions.
Par Kat
de Richmond BC
OOOOOOOO, feels like cashmere..and POCKETS??!!! love love love
Beautiful sweater
Par Joy
de NL
I generally wear a 1x and the PLUS size (one size fits all?) fit perfect. It is so soft and falls very nice. I ordered the Brown - it looks more like a deep WINE color, but I still love it! Worth the reduced price. Can be dressed up or worn casual.
Par Very Happy Shopper
de Ontario
I ordered two of these in PLUS ( because as per the size chart that's what I needed, as well according to Sandie on air).They were HUGE on me, and when I went back to order regular they were sold out again!! This is so FRUSTRATING!!! I purchase quite a few items from the Orange Fashion Line and have notice lately, the sizing is not consistent at all.The quality and the feel of this fabric was GORGEOUS!!! Perhaps TSC can bring other tops in this fabric back from Orange, maybe with a "V" neck or scoop neck. Please make sure of the sizing.
Love it!
Par Diamonelle Lover
de BC
So soft and comfortable. I ordered charcoal. Then I ordered a second one in grey but received another charcoal - not sure what is up with that but had to return it as I did not need two the same color. Wish the colors came in a wider variety.
LOVE it!!!!!
Par Barbara
I ordered it in plus and had to exchange it for regular, then I bought it in taupe and brown, love the pockets, so comfortable!

County may seek permission to impose meals tax
Henrico County officials plan to petition the General Assembly in the coming months for the right to institute a meals tax in the county next year.
County Manager Virgil Hazelett suggested the idea to the five-member Board of Supervisors during a work session tonight, and it met with the board's unanimous support.
Hazelett, who is retiring in January, told supervisors that the county must find new sources of revenue to combat falling revenue from both real estate taxes and the state government.
"We lost $96 million in Fiscal Year 2011," he said. "I think it's time that we try to do this, for the future of Henrico County."
Implementation of a 4-percent meals tax would generate an estimated $18 million annually for the county, Hazelett told the board.
"As the economy improves, it will only increase," he said, while noting that about 40 percent of all meals purchased in the county are bought by non-Henrico residents.
State law permits the governing bodies of any Virginia city or town to enact a meals tax by a unanimous vote, but counties are required to put the issue to voters in a referendum. Henrico did so in 2005, but its proposed 4-percent meals tax was defeated by just 151 votes.
Hazelett's proposal to the General Assembly would require that implementation of such a tax be approved by a unanimous vote of the Board of Supervisors, to mirror the existing requirement of cities and towns.
There are 204 localities – including 45 counties – in Virginia that have a meals tax, Henrico's director of management and budget Brandon Hinton told the board. Five of those counties were granted the right by the General Assembly to impose such a tax, while voters in the other 40 approved the measure.
Richmond collects a 6-percent meals tax on all prepared meals purchased in the city.
Hazelett conceded that such a plan would not come without some controversy but suggested that the timing was right to make the attempt. Henrico and Arlington counties are the only two in Virginia that maintain their own roads, and Arlington has a meals tax.
"We are the only locality that maintains its own road system and lacks the ability to impose this tax," Hazelett told the board. "You are going to have difficult with this budget. You need to consider this – the General Assembly needs to consider this."
The board is expected to present the request to Henrico's General Assembly delegation at a Nov. 7 dinner.

More than monkey business
Disneynature's 'Monkey Kingdom' is its strongest yet
"Did you know monkeys could swim?" asks Tina Fey in Monkey Kingdom. While she's asking, a toque macaque (a two foot-long monkey with red-white fur and great hair) breast-strokes under the surface of a pond, yanking out lily pad flowers by her teeth and dragging them ashore to munch later.
Turns out monkeys can swim. And slide down telephone poles. And do the thing from Flashdance where you bring down a cascade of water on your head and shake it off in slow-motion.
All will happen in Monkey Kingdom, the eighth film in nine years from Disneynature, Disney's wildlife documentary outlet. > Read more.

A new Indian feature film was inspired by a group of prisoners who formed a well-known classical dance company. Commentator Sandip Roy has the true story of a famous Indian dancer and the convicts she befriended.
Alokananda Roy walked into Calcutta's Presidency Jail on International Women's Day, 2007. The Indian classical dancer had been invited to watch female inmates perform, but it was the men who caught her eye.
"They shook me," she says. "Their body language — it was as though they had no future, nothing to look forward to."

It's difficult to hold a camcorder while, say, climbing up a sheer face in Yosemite. But there are many camcorders on the market that allow hands-free operation. The LOREXvue Video Sunglasses will capture video while freeing your hands up for other duty. You put them on, turn them on and shoot video, all while doing whatever else you like. Whatever you see, the camera sees and captures.
If you're a musician who wants to film your practice sessions or a fan in the crowd recording your favorite band, here's a common problem that can often occur: the video you shoot will end up looking OK, but the audio sounds weak and thin. For a medium in which audio is the key component and portability is important, there are relatively few options.

A court case and a referendum petition make for a double threat to Maryland's new gun control laws
April 15, 2013
By: Josh Altic
Annapolis, Maryland: Recently President Barack Obama congratulated Maryland Governor Martin O'Malley on passing strict gun control laws, but there is a chance that they will not hold up under the efforts of the opposition.
The new gun control prohibits the sale of 45 different types of military-style semi-automatic rifles, limits magazine size to ten bullets and imposes other strict limitations. Currently there is an effort to petition a referendum, giving voters a chance to overturn the new laws. The petitioners were recently joined in active opposition by the National Rifle Association, who have pledged to challenge the constitutionality of the new gun control in court.
David Keene, President of the NRA, had this to say on Tuesday, April 9th: "We are already in court in New York and we will be in court and aiding those in Maryland — and I am myself a Maryland resident — who want to challenge the constitutionality of this and other provisions here in Maryland."
O'Malley is reportedly confident that the court will rule in favor of the gun control. His spokeswoman Raquel Guillory said, "We believe, as does the attorney general, that our new law is constitutional. We currently have a ban on enumerated assault pistols, which has been on the books for decades." He expressed that he does not think there is much of a threat from the referendum approach saying, "You can't fear that. The people of our state are smart and they are fair."[1]

Unfortunately, I'm having a problem with Version 1.3.2. In prior versions, clicking on a slideshow image would display a larger version of the image. This no longer occurs with Version 1.3.2. I checked all the custom URLs in the media library, and they are correct.
Here's the page with our slideshow:

These jeans run HUGE. I am usually a 26/27. I order the 27 and exchanged them for the 26, and exchanged the 26 for a 25. I got the 25 in today and they are still too big so I am sending them back for a 24. This is extremely frustrating?:(
These ran ENORMOUS typical to normal Rag & Bone Skinny. ?There must have been production issues with this wash because I have read the same feedback on other websites. ?I am typically a 24/25, so I ordered both sizes to determine the best fit. ?The 24 fit me like a 26/27 and the 25 fit like a 27/28 in all other Rag & Bone, etc. ?I was so disappointed because the wash/quality is AMAZING - the fit is just too big - I recommend ordering AT LEAST 2 sizes down.
I normally wear a size 27 in R&B but I ordered a 26 due to other reviews.....they fit perfectly. I have the same jeans in a size 27 (ordered from another site) and they look very much like a boyfriend fit verses a skinny jean?!? I love the feel and look so much that I kept both pairs :) awesome jeans, pricey, but worth it!!

No wine for Valentines?
Despite support from city officials, the State Tax Commission rejected Oxford's request for a one-time exception for on-premise Sunday alcohol sales for Valentine's Day. Given that Oxford has been allowed Sunday alcohol sales periodically over the years, the denial came as a shock to local officials and business operators. (February 3, 2010, Page 1)

BIR amends rules on income tax deductions
The Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) has amended rules on certain income tax deductions, banning taxpayers from deducting items from their returns if these separate payments are not made on time.
"Any income payment shall be allowed as a deduction from the payor's gross income only if it is shown that the income tax required to be withheld has been paid to the BIR," a statement released Monday said.
These deductions cover taxes withheld by businessmen from payments to suppliers. These also include taxes withheld from employee salaries.
The new rule, outlined in Revenue Regulation (RR) No. 11-2013, was issued last July 12 and amends the requirements for "deductability" of certain income payments.
The BIR said the current rule allows certain exceptions where a deduction will also be allowed even if no withholding tax was made on time.
These exceptions are allowed for deductions made during audits or investigations of taxpayers.
The new RR removes such exceptions, not being expressly provided for by the Tax Code, and maintains the rule that any income payment shall be allowed as a deduction only if it has shown that the income tax required to be withheld has been paid to the BIR.
The new RR is the latest in a series of reforms that aim to plug holes in the country's revenue base.
Earlier this year, in an effort to further curb tax evasion and smuggling, the BIR issued a directive mandating that all businesses transact only with BIR-accredited printing companies for the paper receipts that are issued to customers.
The controversial rule stated that all businesses replace older receipts with new ones made by accredited printers starting this month.

The 'Bang Bang' team had caught everyone's attention after releasing the teaser for their song 'Tu Meri' on their YouTube handle on Thursday. But once they released the song on Friday morning, what grabbed everyone's attention was the peppy, groovy beat along with the scintillating moves of Hrithik Roshan.
While we thought the 'Tu Meri' number would be a spectacular eye feast with both Hrithik and Katrina Kaif burning the dance floor, it was only Hrithik's brilliant moves that kept the ball rolling for us. We all know how brilliant a dancer Hrithik is and the 'Tu Meri' number seems to be just an addition to the plethora of songs that he's previously grooved to.
Although Katrina did not quite dance in the song, the chemistry between the two is palpable. From the short smile to the sparkling camaraderie that came in bits and parts, it has sky rocketed our expectations from the couple at large!
Check out the song right here.

I just bought a used magazine back for my Hasselblad and I think it has a problem when it comes to winding up the finished film into the take-up spool. After the 12th frame, normally I just wind up the remaining film and paper into the spool but for this one, significant effort is required to do the winding at 1 point, and the result is that the tail of the film which has that bit you wrap around the completed film is scrunched up like an accordion has totally come off the film paper backing.
Is there any fix for this? I suspect that piece of metal which holds the film tightly wound is catching on the tail end.

by James Slater - Tonight in Germany, 24-year-old 6'5" Italian southpaw Francesco Pianeta retained his European Union heavyweight title for the third time with an 8th-round retirement win over Britain's Matt Skelton. Ahead on points after the eight completed rounds, the unbeaten Italian saw his 42-year-old challenger fail to come out for the 9th; due officially to a hand injury. Pianeta is now 19-0-1(12). Former British, Commonwealth and European champion Skelton is now 22-4(19.).
Stopped for the first time in his career in his last fight, when he was stunned in the 11th-round of a great slugfest with Ireland's tough Martin Rogan, Skelton knew he had a make or break fight on his hands going into tonight's bout - yet after training hard it was not to be for the likeable and gutsy "Bedford Bear." The former kick boxer had his moments against the much younger and good deal taller man, but overall big Matt was too slow and didn't throw enough punches.
Still, it was something of a shock when Skelton failed to come out for the 9th. Interestingly, when Pianata won the EBU-EU title against another U.K fighter in Scott Gammer, back in August of last year, the Italian also won when his opponent remained on his stool at the end of the 8th-round due to a hand injury. But despite the disappointing ending to his winning fight, Pianeta can be proud of his victory - very possibly his best and most meaningful yet as a pro. Last time out, against British-based Pole Albert Sosnowski, the big lefty was held to a draw in a fight many people felt he really lost. Now, in stopping the physically strong former world title challenger, Pianeta can celebrate.
Big things are expected of the German-based big guy, and some interesting fights lay ahead for him. Not a huge puncher despite his intimidating size, Pianeta did trouble the rock-chinned Skelton with some stiff left hands tonight, and it will be interesting to see just how far the young heavyweight can go. Considering how he has been a pro only since July of 2005, Pianeta has sure made good and fast progress. His future looks pretty bright, put it that way.
As for Skelton, who got into boxing at a relatively late age, his future looks less promising. Now having lost three of his last four outings - two inside the distance - Skelton may well decide to call it quits. Should he do so, the 42-year-old would be more than entitled to go out with his head held high. Matt got much further than many people felt he would, and during his career he earned himself wins over good men like Danny Williams, John McDermott, Michael Sprott and Paolo Vidoz.

The varied experience of the African American residents of Montgomery County, Virginia, reveals itself in many documentary sources, but perhaps none as unexpected to some researchers as in the chancery causes. As a preview of the upcoming workshop "Researching Your African American Ancestors: Genealogy to 1870" scheduled to be held at the Christiansburg Public Library on 19 July 2014, here follow five examples from the Montgomery County chancery causes highlighting different facets of African American life over the span of 100 years.
Whether as slaves or free persons of color, African Americans arrived in the western parts of Virginia as soon as the area began to be settled by easterners. The earliest chancery suit with an identified free person is suit 1819-016, Lewis Garner vs. Peter Hance. Peter Hance executed a bond to Garner, "a man of color" for $49.75 in 1813. Garner then lost the note and Hance refused to honor the debt. Garner filed suit against Hance to clarify the circumstances of the debt, the loss of the note, and to collect what he was owed. The suit was dismissed at the request of the plaintiff in 1819.
Slaves appear throughout the chancery suits in many different situations, most commonly in an estate settlement suit when the slaves are divided among heirs or sold to pay debts. Chancery cause 1847-015, Ann Trigg, … read more »
In the late 1880s and early 1890s, Southwest Virginia was gripped with "boom" times as the Norfolk & Western Railroad opened up the region for development. Small towns and even previously non-existent ones exploded with growth seemingly overnight. Land development companies swooped in, mainly with northern capital, to carve up farmland into future cities. Montgomery County was no stranger to this concept as the "boom" swept through its borders. Central Depot at the far western edge of the county had been a small railroad community, but by the 1870s and 1880s, developers started devising ways to make it grow. The community would go on to become Central City as a fully incorporated town, then Radford, and then the independent City of Radford. A group of chancery records from Montgomery County bear witness to the "boom," or more accurately to its aftermath, as the bubble burst on dreams for development. These cases, W.R. Liggon vs. George W. Tyler etc., T.E. Buck vs. George W. Tyler etc., and Nancy M. Liggon etc. vs. George W. Tyler etc. (1897-056) and R.B. Horne etc. vs. George W. Tyler etc. (1897-057) give fascinating insight on the inner workings of "boom" times.
In this period of extraordinary growth for many towns, real estate speculation was the name of the game. Huge profits could be made by buying land, dividing it into … read more »
Our valued colleague in the Imaging Services Section, Dwight Sunderlin, passed away on February 8 after a brief illness. He will be laid to rest this spring in his beloved hometown of Winchester, Virginia. During his lifetime, Dwight wore many hats as both a soldier and a civilian. He proudly served his country in the National Guard. Here at the Library of Virginia, Dwight was a methodical, trustworthy coworker who was willing to assist in any type of situation–from changing windshield wiper blades to implementing the operational procedures for a new software program.
Dwight was an avid hunter throughout his life. As a civilian, he always scheduled his annual vacation in November to go deer hunting. The yearly trip had a three-fold purpose. First, hunting allowed him to apply some of the training that he received in the military. Secondly, it allowed him to practice his marksmanship using weapons from his extensive firearms collection. Hunting was a contest between him and the deer; however, the deer usually won. If he was successful, Dwight acted like a little kid and bragged about his prize! He even took a picture of the trophy buck that he'd bagged and displayed it proudly on his desk. Finally, and most importantly, was the bonding time spent between Dwight and his brother, with few interruptions from the outside world.

A chancery case from Frederick County looked like any other business dispute except for a unique item presented as an exhibit. Columbia Wagon Company vs. John G. Crisman & Company, etc., 1903-058, involved the bankruptcy of the Crisman Company and the efforts of its creditors to collect on the debts owed them. One of the many parties involved in the case submitted an exhibit of their showroom catalog of wagons and carriages. The Hughes Buggy Company's catalog reads like a modern day sale brochure by any major auto company selling a Ford Fusion or Honda Civic. The wagons listed in the Hughes Buggy catalog have their own unique names and descriptions for their particular style. "The Physicians' Phaeton" was a canopy covered carriage with large wheels having "1 inch tread" supporting its carriage described as ideally suited for the traveling doctor making house calls. The catalog offered customized color options with purchase of this new buggy.
Another style called "The Matchless No. 35" implies the manufacturing quality and customer appeal was second to none:
"This wagon is without a doubt the most popular vehicle built in the United States today. Every single item of material and workmanship is positively the very best that can be procured. Every known improvement is substituted in this carriage without additional cost.
The price includes Fnenuatic Tires, Wire Wheels,
Flora of Virginia, the Library of Virginia's latest exhibition, highlights the botanical exploration of Virginia from the colonial days to the present. Curated in partnership with the Flora of Virginia Project, the exhibition explores the history of botanical description and illustration and celebrates the power of the flower. It features original artwork and colorful illustrations from the LVA's collections, as well as books, photographs, and plant specimens. With the exhibit as inspiration, I wondered what flora history could be uncovered in Virginia's local court records. Plats and surveys, documents frequently included as exhibits in court cases, are excellent resources to discover which trees grew where in Virginia counties. Trees were often used as landmarks in plats or were included by the survey maker as decorative elements to their work. My search revealed a wealth of plat and survey examples from different parts of the state spanning over 250 years of Virginia history.
B. A. Colonna, the deputy county surveyor of Northampton County, drew a unique and detailed plat of Catherine H.G. Kendall's land. His 15 January 1869 plat included symbols for the pine, oak, and gum trees growing on her land and a key to identify what each symbol represented. This plat is part of Northampton County Chancery Cause 1869-015, Samuel E. D. Kellam & wife vs. Juliet J. Kendall, etc.

The Library of Virginia is pleased to announce that digital images for the King William County (Va.) Chancery Causes, 1868-1913, are now available online through the Chancery Records Index on the LVA's Virginia Memory site. Because they rely so heavily on the testimony of witnesses, chancery causes contain a wealth of historical and genealogical information and are especially useful when researching local, state, social, or legal history. Chancery causes often contain correspondence, property lists (including slaves), lists of heirs, and vital statistics that are especially helpful in documenting the African American experience, family history, women's history, and Southern business and labor history. Following are a few suits of interest found in the collection.
The King William chancery causes contain several suits which illustrate the experiences of Native Americans in the Tidewater region. The Mattaponi Tribe is represented in Chancery Cause 1895-002, George F. Custalow vs. James S. Robinson, Trustee. In the case, two members of the Mattaponi Tribe, Custalow and Austin Key, dispute ownership over a piece of land. In Chancery Cause Walter Miles vs. Alice Miles, 1907-006, two members of the Pamunkey Tribe, living in Indian Town, head to the King William County court to seek a divorce. Walter Miles claimed that on 15 November 1904 he was called before the chiefs of the tribe to face a charge … read more »
The Library of Virginia has completed the digitization and transcription of the last of the cohabitation registers in its possession, the Henry County Cohabitation Register, 1866. Others have already been transcribed and are available in the cohabitation register digitization project via Virginia Memory. For African-American genealogical researchers, the names contained herein provide priceless clues to retracing their ancestors. Cohabitation registers imparted legal legitimacy to African-American marriages and children. This was also the first time many of these individuals would appear in public record under their own names.
Naming under the practice of slavery was fraught with power dynamics. The enslavers often gave names to the enslaved. The amount of input the family of the child would have in his or her name varied, but journals of slave-holders indicate they specifically assigned names to slave children on a regular basis.[1] Newly enslaved Africans were often issued a new name by their captors, causing their identities to become yet another site of colonization. Naming was a powerful tool for enforcing cultural assimilation and denigrating African cultural identity.[2]
When viewed simply as data, the set of names used for slaves seems to have been larger and more varied than the set of names used for free people. Slave names tended to fit within five categories: diminutive versions of English names (Jim, Bess), place names … read more »
Warwick County records that date from 1650 to 1840 have recently been added to the Lost Records Localities Digital Collection available on Virginia Memory. The types of records found in this addition include wills, deeds, court suits, estate records, jail reports, a docket book, a complete order book, and pages torn from order books. Many of these documents were removed from the Warwick County courthouse during the Civil War by Union soldiers as spoils of war. Over the course of the last century, they made their way back to Virginia.
A page from a 17th century order book, removed by John Hart of the 29th Massachusetts Regiment in 1862, ended up in the hands of LaRoy Sunderland of Boston, Massachusetts, who donated it to the New England Historic Genealogical Society. The society discovered the torn order book page while in the process of moving to a new location in 1964 and returned it to Virginia. Other documents were returned to Virginia after being discovered amongst family papers. E. Russell Jones of Pennsylvania and Charles Fitchorn of Missouri both discovered Warwick County records taken during the Civil War among the belongings of their deceased relatives. In 1914, James P. Williams returned Warwick County records he received from a friend named Edward G. Wood whose grandfather was a collector of relics. In a letter … read more »
The editors of Out of the Box would like to give a belated good-bye to Carl Childs, the Library of Virginia's former Local Records Services director. Last month, Carl started his new job as Director of Archives and Records for the Colonial Williamsburg Foundation. When former local records archivist Dale Dulaney first proposed our little blog five years ago, Carl's support, encouragement, and leadership helped Dale's idea become a reality. The result: the Out of the Box blog may be the most successful outreach tool used by the Library of Virginia. For the fiscal year ending 30 June 2013, Out of the Box had 435,859 page views, 221,667 visitors, and 369,123 visits.
Out of the Box is one of many innovative projects that Carl has been a part of at the Library. In a 20-year career at the agency, Carl moved into increasingly responsible positions, from his first job as a front desk attendant, to state records archivist and then local records archivist and, beginning in 2005, Local Records Services director. Carl brought enthusiasm and a willingness to try new things to every position. Accordingly, in his tenure overseeing the Circuit Court Records Preservation (CCRP) grants program, Carl helped strengthen the application and oversight process, resulting in a more efficient and beneficial program to care for historic records in Virginia's circuit courts. Similarly, … read more »
Processing of the Montgomery County chancery began in August 2013, and one of the early finds was Chancery Cause 1848-016, Letitia Floyd vs. Executors of Elizabeth Madison, which involved two locally well-known Virginia families, the Prestons and Floyds. While much of the history of these families revolves around the military, economic, and political exploits of the men, this particular suit reveals great politicking among the females as well. Additionally, this case permits researchers to evaluate changes in women's economic and social status over several generations.
William Preston, an Irish immigrant who arrived in Virginia in 1737, moved to western Virginia and became a surveyor in Augusta and Botetourt Counties. He fought in the French and Indian War, became an officer in the colonial militia, and eventually served in the House of Burgesses and as a sheriff and surveyor in Fincastle County. In 1775, he signed the Fincastle Resolutions and helped to recruit soldiers for the militia, ultimately serving as a colonel in the newly-created regiment mustered from Montgomery County. Preston and his friend and fellow surveyor, John Floyd, (among others) advanced land claims for prominent Virginians by surveying tracts (legally and illegally) in Kentucky.
Numerous local and area histories celebrate adventurers and pioneers but few of these accounts consider the experiences of the women who carved out a home for their families in the … read more »

"This could be the start of something great. Olly Richards, Empire Magazine
Editor's NoteA teenage fugitive with an incredible secret races to stay one step ahead of the mysterious forces seeking to track and destroy him in this sci-fi action thriller from director D.J. Caruso (DISTURBIA, EAGLE EYE). With three dead and one on the run, the race to find the elusive Number Four begins. Outwardly normal teen John Smith (Alex Pettyfer) never gets too comfortable in the same identity, and along with his guardian, Henri (Timothy Olyphant), he is constantly moving from town to town -- the perpetual new kid in a series of strangely familiar schools. Despite the fact that his nomadic lifestyle has made it difficult to form meaningful connections, John experiences the joy of first love with a beautiful young woman (Dianna Agron) and begins to unlock his full potential after arriving with Henri in a small Ohio town. With each passing day, John gains a stronger grasp on his extraordinary new powers, and his bond to the beings that share his fantastic fate grows stronger.

Professional Reviews
Customer Reviews of I Am Number Four (Blu-ray)
Lovely movie5/27/2013
An interesting sci-fi film filled with alot of action and some amazing battle scenes with both natural and unnatural powers. The storyline is easy enough to follow and the end implies a possible sequel. A young man with a secret past and destiny about to unfold, John Smith is running from forces trying to kill him. He is protected by a guardian but also has powers within him that will change him by the end of the film. On a grand scale, this is by no means an epic film, but the action, plots, twists and turns, keep you watching and thrilled.
Sometimes survival is fighting back7/8/2011
Survivors of an alien race with special powers are being hunted down by another alien race, and all the action takes place on earth. Three have been already hunted down and now they are coming after the fourth. It is good movie.
