I have lived here about a year its not to good or bad just is in a bad area if you are looking for cheap rent that's here. The AC last year sucked but with this mild summer had been great.

Don't believe the positive reviews. There are few to no things to be appreciated about this place. The staff will be nice to you initially, but give it time and they won't care. There are indeed roaches, bed bugs, and little rude kids with parents that don't seem to care. The workout area will never be fully functioning and you may run into people who don't even live there sleeping in various locations. The walls are paper thin and you may end up next to government housing folks who party every night. If you get the apartment with the balcony the temperature in your apartment will rival the temperature outside due to poorly sealed sliding doors. The heat may go out on the coldest day of the year as well. The security that they had when I was there was pretty bad, but from what I hear the complex was actually cutting back the hours of the security. This would be fine if the towers were located in a less crime ridden neighborhood, but the towers sit in a rough part of town. To give you an example, in addition to the guy I found sleeping the computer room (who after I informed security of his presence would routinely hassle me when I was working out) I had a guy come at me and threaten my life. Bottom Line don't move here unless you're just looking for those things I just mentioned.

Overall would absolutely not recommend. Pros: Staff and residents generally seem genuinely nice and friendly. The communal facilities are great, the exercise equipment is good and the convenience of it makes me so much more likely to exercise on any given day. The convenience store, short term leasing and value are all pluses. Neutral (I don't care but maybe you will): It's in what I would consider a poor neighborhood that's minority dominated. Smelled marijuana frequently. Cons: The worst thing is the heating/cooling. You have no control over the temperature and during the winter it was often 80-85 degrees, even with 2 windows open. I don't understand this at all - why they do it or why anyone would want to live like that. You can turn thermostat but it doesn't actually control temperature. When I inquired they said that's just how it is/open a window. A bit dirty when I moved it (they offered to clean). Shower temperatures were extremely inconsistent and it was rare to find a happy medium (temp would change on it's own shortly thereafter). Refrigerator issues took 3-4 maintenance calls to fix and I was never credited for spoiled food even after going through the proper motions (didn't push the issue thereafter). There is a $100 charge if you don't return the parking sticker that goes on your car window (?). I had other forgettable, minor issues. Conclusion: The cons outweigh the pros, 85 degree temperatures being the biggest issue - not what I'd consider a comfortable lifestyle. PS: The statement/rebuttal that there is no drug traffic here is a bit naive. That said, I grew up in an upper market neighborhood of an Ohio 'bedroom community' and to say there was no drug traffic there would also be naive.

I currently live at Skyview Towers I have a city view and it's amazing!! The maintenance are handy they're always there when you need them!! The office staff is also always very helpful.. The area may scare people but really you don't even have to leave your home because everything is in the building. There security here all the time and to get in you have to have a key or someone would have to let you in. I would recommend it. I'm going to renew my lease now in November. I only pay 625 a month and that includes everything.

Provisions For Students Impacted By Acts Of Violence
When a member of the Marist community has been impacted by an alleged act of misconduct which violates the physical, emotional, and/or mental welfare of an individual, the impacted student should expect that the student conduct system shall respond in a caring, sensitive manner which allows the impacted student to utilize the student conduct process unimpeded, while still maintaining the rights of the charged student. In cases including, but not limited to sexual misconduct, physical assault, hazing and harassment, the following rights shall be provided to impacted students of alleged offenses:
A. A impacted student has the right to be treated with dignity and compassion by the conduct body and by all persons involved in the disciplinary process.
B. A impacted student has the right to information pertaining to the campus conduct process and appropriate referrals for information on the criminal process.
C. A impacted student has the right to information pertaining to counseling assistance available to him/her.
D. A impacted student has the right to assistance throughout the conduct process, including the right to have an advisor present at all proceedings, provided that the individual is not an Attorney. (Exceptions to this rule can be found in the Code under Section VII, E, 5).
E. A impacted student has the right to all student rights and protections provided to charged students, including the right to written notification of a hearing, the right to hear all information presented, the right to present information and witnesses, the right to verbal disclosure of the results of a hearing, and the right to appeal imposed sanctions.
F. A impacted student has the right to testify from another location as long as it does not infringe upon the rights of the charged student to have a fair hearing.
G. A impacted student has the right to have any unrelated past behavior (including past sexual behavior in cases involving sexual misconduct) excluded from the hearing process. The conduct body shall determine what constitutes unrelated behavior.
H. A impacted student has the right to submit a written impact statement to the conduct body which will be considered only in sanctioning, should there be a finding of violation against the charged student.
I. A impacted student has the right to privacy throughout the student conduct process in relation to campus and other media and from all other uninvolved parties.
J. A impacted student has the right to expect to be free from intimidation and harassment throughout the student conduct process.
K. A impacted student has the right to request that campus personnel take the necessary steps reasonably available to prevent unwanted contact or proximity with the charged student(s).
L. A impacted student has the right to appeal the sanctions imposed upon the charged student(s). For more information on the appeals process, please see Section XIII.
The Charged Student or Organization will not be permitted to directly question the Impacted Student where the alleged violations are sexual misconduct or abuse. In such cases, the Charged Student or Organization and the Impacted Student shall submit questions to the Hearing Body prior to the hearing. However, the Hearing Body shall not be required to ask those questions submitted by the Charged or Impacted Student.
Where the student conduct review process addresses an allegation of sexual misconduct or abuse, the Clery Act provides that both the Impacted Student and the Charged Student or Organization must be informed of the final outcome of the student conduct process without a commitment to protect the confidentiality of the information. The "final outcome" means only the final determination with respect to the alleged sexual misconduct or abuse and any sanction(s) that is imposed against the Charged Student or Organization. If the Impacted Student is deceased, the next of kin shall be considered as the alleged Impacted Student for purposes of this paragraph.

Few would downplay the importance of ancient Egypt and its role in shaping the world we live in today. As civilizations go, theirs was an enigma in that they were able to do things that we still don't quite understand.
The most obvious is the building of the great pyramid, a construction that would be extremely challenging with the heavy equipment that we have at our disposal toady. Building it by hand in 20 years as the books tell is beyond comprehension and there is still a ton of debate about how this possible could have been done.

Michel Vorm heads into this weekend's meeting with Manchester City adamant that he will be at Swansea next season.
The Dutch goalkeeper, whose contract at the Liberty Stadium runs until 2016, has been linked with the likes of Barcelona, Arsenal and Liverpool in recent weeks.
A recent family holiday to Barcelona sparked reports he was there to agree terms on a move to the Nou Camp, while quotes attributed to Vorm in the Dutch media suggested he was keen to be reunited with former Swans boss Brendan Rogers at Anfield.
Vorm, who joined Swansea from Utrecht for £1.5million in 2011, was quick to reject those reports, and he reiterated no club has made an approach to sign him.
He said: "I expect to be here next season. I have a contract until 2016 which I signed at the beginning of this season.
"Obviously you never know what can happen in football but I see myself playing here next season.
"Talk of me joining other clubs is something that has been put together by the media.
"No one has ever been to (Swansea chairman) Huw Jenkins or to my agent saying they want to sign Michel Vorm for next season.
"It is all speculation, but in some ways it is positive because it means people look at you as someone who is doing well."
After a season littered with memorable moments - none more so than Capital One Cup success at Wembley - Swansea are stuttering in sight of the finish line and have gone six games without a win.
And not many will fancy Michael Laudrup's side to repeat their famous win of last season over Roberto Mancini's men on Saturday.
But Vorm believes recent performances have not been as bad as results suggest, and victory is possible if the Welsh club rediscover their touch in front of goal, having scored just four goals during their recent slump.
"We have played against good opponents, including three sides in the top five, but it's hard to put your finger on why results have not gone our way, we haven't been playing that badly," he said.
"We have been unlucky in the final third, we have created opportnities and we have not taken them.
"Against the top teams when they create chances most of the time they take them, and if you don't take yours you lose the game.
"It also makes it hard for the defence to always have to try and keep a clean sheet.
"When we played Tottenham, they had two chances and took them, and we missed some we would normally score.
"It shows the quality the top teams have and what we need to improve on."
Swansea lost 1-0 at the Etihad Stadium earlier this season, but Vorm hopes home advantage can give his side the edge.
He said: "We know they are a side with so much quality with players like Carlos Tevez, Sergio Aguero and Samir Nasri, but at home we can beat anybody and we have shown that in the past.
"We beat them here last season and maybe they were stronger then than they are now.
"If we can perform for 90 minutes, not just 45 or 60, we can win."

Read Poems by
Brian Anderson
she wears his name
but calls mine
she called him "my love"
but said i'm "fine"
in fact me and him
shared the same places
i often wonder
if she intermingles our faces
don't get me wrong
i know we all have a past
but because he was first
doesn't mean i'm last
my blood flows through veins
as real as your own
my heart still yearns
for our happy home
i know pain is life
and life is pain
but i know in my heart
you should wear my #@$!%! name

I had a birthday yesterday. A thirty-eighth one.
My therapist asked me if I ever thought that at thirty-eight I'd have a partner and two kids and a house and stable employment, and freedom to be creative. I told her I never really thought about it.
To be honest, six months ago, I didn't expect I'd live to see my thirty-eighth birthday.
What I do know is that I am blessed. Every day. Some days when I am drowning, the blessings in my life are the only things that put one foot in front of the other. Most days, my cup runneth over.
I floated through the day carried along by birthday wishes from friends and family. And cupcakes.
Thank you for sitting shotgun on this sometimes crazy ride.

Comments about Adams Golf Idea a12 Hybrid Club:
Velocity slot technology really works. Tried these at DG Milton Keynes against TM RBZ Hybrid and the new Cobra hybrid. Slightly longer than the RBZ and much longer than the Cobra. The shaft is more stable than the RBZ and the dispersion, at least for me, was much tighter. One downside - I hit one out of the bunker the first time I took it to the course and the sand pitted the face immediately. Nevertheless it is a very good club.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

The New York Times (Sunday Circulation: 1,672,965)
Lehigh quarterback Mark Borda grew up a few miles from the stadium where his surprising junior season is unfolding. "I remember when I was little trying to get through the fence with all my little friends," Borda said. "We ended up having to pay." Give Borda any wiggle room now, and he will literally scramble to a better vantage point. Saturday, he rushed for 91 yards and passed for another 134 to lead the Mountain Hawks to a 21-14 victory over Colgate at Goodman Stadium. The outcome ended the Raiders' Patriot League winning streak at 15.

What Color is your Heart?
Robert Rosenwein, professor of sociology at Lehigh, was quoted in two articles saying that people tend to be more attracted to others who share their political beliefs. "Fifteen years of research in social psychology shows that the basis of attraction is similarity," says Rosenwein. "It is much easier to be with people who look at the world the way you do. The fact that the Internet is now being exploited for ways of defining similarity so that people can meet each other does not surprise me.''

Summer Fun at Materials Camp
The Lehigh Valley Chapter's Materials Camp was co-sponsored by Carpenter Technology Corporation, Reading, PA, and Lehigh University. Graduate students from the Department of Materials Science and Engineering at Lehigh volunteered their time to develop lesson plans with Materials in Transportation, Materials in Sports, Materials in Entertainment and Failure Analysis as themes. "What's unique about us is the fact that the graduate students are doing the teaching," according to Wojciech Misiolek, Materials Camp Program Coordinator and associate professor of materials science and engineering at Lehigh. "The graduate students are not much older than these kids. And yet they are essentially experts on the subject."

The Effects of the New Goodwill Accounting Rules on Financial Statements
James A. Largay, professor of accounting at Lehigh University, co-authored an article on the new goodwill accounting rules on financial statements. The study suggests that impairment write-offs produced significant income and asset effects, especially in the first quarter following adoption, for about one-third of the company pool. Elimination of goodwill amortization impacts all companies' reported incomes by an average increase of about 15% to 20%.

"Group Think" Undermined Government at the Top
John Karakash, dean emeritus of engineering at Lehigh, wrote an op-ed on election politics. "Bin Ladenism disrupted our national life, not excluding governance. This saddens me," he wrote. "I believe that the breakdown of our constitutionally mandated governance 'tripod' is of far greater consequence than intelligence failures. I am saddened that neither candidate for president raised the issue."

Wall Street Training Ground
College senior David Versace compares studying at the Lehigh University Financial Service Laboratory to sharing an office with Manhattan power brokers. The finance major, who interned last summer at JP Morgan's New York City offices, says the university's newest lab is the next best thing to working at the prestigious brokerage house. "The students have an opportunity to be in an environment just like they would be on Wall Street," said Anne Anderson, associate professor of economics. It makes sense to implement the lab at Lehigh, where more students aspire to work on Wall Street than to become physicians, according to Richard H. Durand, Herbert Ehlers dean of the school's College of Business and Economics. Math, engineering and journalism majors can also make practical use out of the posh study hall. "How do we as an institution get our students to take theory into practice?" Durand said. "Without this facility, it's just theory."

Week in Reviews: Saturday, Oct. 30
It's not every day that a jazz legend spends time right here in the Lehigh Valley. So it was an uncommon treat to hear legendary jazz singer Nancy Wilson at Lehigh University's Zoellner Arts Center Sunday night. After a few songs, her technique became obvious. Most surprising was Wilson's voice, which showed no sign of the ravages of time, although Wilson often referred to lyric sheets, which was unusual, but not unheard of.

Master of Darkness
David Hawkes, associate professor of English at Lehigh, will teach a course next semester about "Satan in Literature," where he will outline how writers such as John Milton and Edgar Allen Poe have used Satan to try to come to terms with how God could allow evil. "What we call Satan comes to be an aspect of God, and that's a terribly hard thing for some people to reconcile," says Hawkes. "Because it means that when bad things happen in the world, it must actually be good in some way because Satan was made by God."

Solid bindings for the price!
By wish the season were longer
from Pasadena, CA
About Me Intermediate
Comments about K2 Agogo Snowboard Bindings - Women's 2013:
As a disclaimer, I've only used these bindings once so far (with my brand new board and boots), in very slushy conditions. I bought them because I thought they would be a lot easier to get out of than the bindings that were on standard rental boards. It was easier, but it took awhile to get used to. You have to adjust the toe part so that it can be secure but slip off easily when you're getting out of it. Other than that, I think these bindings gave me good control of my board and were easy to put on my board. I would recommend these bindings for the price I paid for them.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

About Me Beginner
Awesome binding. The single ratchet is great and really cuts down on the amount of time spent buckling in. And that means more time riding.
easy entry, amazing hold

About Me Expert
I use the agogo with my 2012 Roxy ollie pop, fits very well. has very good performance on the park and off groomers, while the performance on kickers and drops are stellar. Auto system is very easy to use when adjusted, but it needed a couple days of slight adjestment to get it to the point of perfection. very good overall.
No going back

from Crystal Mtn
These bindings are my favorite!! I don't think I will ever ride anything else. They are super comfortable and durable, plus strapping in takes half the time! Adjustments for the binding are super easy, and I love the dampening harshmellow in the footbed.

Isles baseball coaching list shrinks
Brian Teter's search for a new head baseball coach just got a lot easier -- not that the Texas A&M-Corpus Christi athletic director wanted it that way.
Jacksonville (Fla.) University associate head coach Tim Montez emailed the Caller-Times late Tuesday night to inform the newspaper that he has dropped out of consideration for the position. That leaves former UNLV assistant Scott Malone, Rice assistant David Pierce and TCU associate head coach Todd Whitting as the remaining finalists.
Teter said that Montez, a long-time assistant head coach whose strength is working with the pitching staff, had strong references and was a tremendous interview.
"It was surprising he pulled out," Teter said. "He impressed a lot of people when he was here. He was a unanimous choice to be a finalist by the search committee.
"Tim was great. He was the wild-card factor. He didn't have the standard lay-down Texas connections, but he had recruited the state when he was at Arkansas. He interviewed unbelievably. I really am disappointed he withdrew."
Montez, who interviewed a little more than a week ago, could not be reached for comment Wednesday.
Teter said Montez's references backed up an impressive resume. Before Montez coached at Jacksonville, which has reached the NCAA regionals in successive seasons, he had stops at Arkansas, Fresno State and Pepperdine, among others. In 16 seasons as an assistant, Montez coached on seven teams that made the NCAA regionals.
Montez's sudden departure from the candidate pool has not affected Teter's timeline. In his fourth coaching search of the year -- men's basketball, women's tennis and softball now have been filled -- Teter hopes to have a new coach named by the end of the week.
Baseball came open 10 months ago with the abrupt resignation of Hector Salinas, who started the program. Assistant Gene Salazar acted as the interim coach this past season, the third losing campaign for the Islanders over the past four years.
Malone and Whitting interviewed more than a week ago. Pierce left town Wednesday after his meeting with Teter and athletic department staff.
Teter was seeking input from the search committee Wednesday, and felt an offer would be on the way to one of the candidates by Thursday or Friday.
"I'm shocked if I don't have someone by Friday," Teter said. "Now, it's all on me. I'm going to talk to the search committee and get some evaluations back. Then, it's my decision to make."

Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas, everyone. Here's a simple children's book style illustration I made for my Christmas cards this year. I hope you enjoy it. Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas, everyone. Here's a simple children's book style illustration I made for my Christmas cards this year. I hope you enjoy it. Merry Christmas!
Here are 5 new wallpapers. I made these all using my Wacom tablet and had them printed last Fall for a show. I consider them abstract illustrations (illustractions?) that tell a story in their titles. They're very personal, emotional, and graphic, so I hope you like them.

"A New Path"
"Holding On"
"Mental Overflow"
Here's another Daily Drawing Book that I started last July. I told myself to carry this around wherever I went and draw one thing every day. No other rules. Just draw one thing every day. Only problem was there were points of weeks/months that I didn't draw every day, so it went on for a whole year with only 83 or so drawings. Some stuff had very clear inspiration and I took a lot of time on, and others, I just sorta stuck to the rule and had to draw something that day. Still, though, I feel like I came up with some great ideas, some awesome drawings, and as a whole, it tells a story. Like a visual journal of some sort…
Click here to view the entire album of daily drawings. I've already started the next book. Click on the thumbnails of my favorites below to open them in a new window.
Mega Christmas, everyone! I made this illustration in Flash/illustrator for my Christmas card this year. Everyone loved it, so I'm sharing it online now, too. Mega Christmas! I mean Merry Christmas!
I have been collecting bottle caps for a while now, with the intention of making art with them. This past Winter, I made a huge Super Mario sprite out of various bottle caps for my friend, Dan.
I gave it to him for his Birthday.
After making the Mario one, I knew I had to make one for myself. It was going to be of MY favorite video game character: Mega Man. I set out collecting the bottle caps, and friends were giving me bags at a time. Everyone thought I was a weirdo, but that's fine.
This is a 40″x60″ plank of wood. It's huge and heavy. I had to have somebody pick me up at work to bring it home.
Here I am, spray-painting the background. I decided to go with a sort of explosion looking thing, but keeping it clean and simple with solid lines and bold colors.
Round 1 of the blue spraypaint is done. Seriously, this thing is as big as me.
I taped off the rest of the areas and finished the spray-painting. I was pretty pleased at this point with the background.
There are 417 bottle caps, including the bullet. This took more than just a few hours to lay all these out on the floor…
…and another few hours to move them from the floor to the spray-painted wood.
I wasn't super pumped with how the yellow background was showing through, and a few of my friends noticed it, too. I had to color in the background areas where it was yellow as I glued the caps down. This took a really, really long time…
…but I got it finished, and I Love it. Seriously, Mega Man is as big as me. Awesome.
Agent # 417, named after how many bottle caps (pixels) there are in this thing.
Here's a banana for scale.
Thanks for viewing this, but don't ask me to make you one. I'm never making bottle cap art again.

As President Obama grumbles on the sidelines of the debt ceiling debate, the growing chorus of dissent from liberals who are disgruntled with the White House is starting to be heard. While Monday's night's speech proved the president is still playing to his base with class warfare rhetoric aimed at the Republicans, many on the left are unhappy with the cuts to entitlements that Obama has appeared to accept. But an even bigger problem is the president's supporters have come to realize how ineffectual his efforts have been in this crisis.
Though the president has acted as if all the political stars were aligning to favor his positions on the issue and ultimately his re-election, the impact of recent events on the enthusiasm level of his base must be extremely troubling.
Just a couple of months ago, Democrats were convinced they would spend the next year and a half raking the GOP over the coals for Paul Ryan's Medicare reform proposals as they cruised to victory in 2012. They believed Mediscare tactics would be their ticket to retaking the House of Representatives next year as well as dooming Republican presidential hopes.
But the last month of negotiations have not only made it clear to the general public that restoring a semblance of national solvency required cutbacks in entitlements, but many Democrats understand it, too. Though the president has been acting as if a default was in his political interest, it has not escaped the notice of liberals that even his desultory attempts at negotiations have countenanced such cuts.
This has demoralized the left wing of his party in Congress. It is also having an impact on the very same young and liberal voters who elected Barack Obama in 2008. While Obama's fundraising doesn't seem to be greatly affected, the president's bad polling numbers reflect not only the unhappy independents who regret putting him into office but also disillusioned liberals.
While the story that has received the most attention during the course of the debt debate has been the influence of the Tea Party, the marginalization of the political left during the negotiations is far more important. It should be noted that for all of the efforts by Democrats and their allies in the media to demonize the right wing of the GOP as out-of-touch extremists, the left is clearly far more removed from mainstream American political thinking these days than even the most hard-core Tea Partiers. Many Americans may like Obama's talk of a "balanced approach" to solving the problem, but increasingly fewer are willing to oppose the reforms of entitlements Republicans have proposed.
The president has infuriated his base while doing nothing to convince Americans he can run the country effectively. Though Obama may still believe he can outmaneuver Republicans on the debt ceiling, all this bodes ill for the president's hopes in 2012.

Jon Stewart last night derided a Senate panel's kid-gloves treatment of Apple Inc.'s testimony on its complex corporate tax structure.
Tuesday's hearing in front of the Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations was meant to discuss the corporate tax laws that allow Apple to shelter over $102 billion through a web of foreign subsidiaries. However, it quickly became a forum in which senators expressed their love of the company's products to Apple CEO Tim Cook.
"I love Apple!," said Sen. Claire McCaskill, D-Mo. Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., asked Cook why he had to keep constantly updating all the apps on his iPhone.
Stewart noted "there is nothing Apple can do to get us mad at them," and said people would probably keep buying the company's products even if the hearts of kittens powered its electronics.

You take only one or two out of several factors into account, and you're too quick to anger because you're a tight ass. Just go get an Xbox360 arcade, they made them to be cheap so 10 year olds could buy them with their saved lunch money.

US$299, at average of recent currency exchange of past year of 73 cents (you dont seriously expect them to alter the price every time the exchange rate changes do you?), and adding on GST because the american one doesnt have tax included works out to around 450 AU. It's not as bad as you whiners make it out to be.

D-OGS Newsletter – February 2008
News & Articles of interest to Durham-Orange genealogists
The next D-OGS Meeting will be held on Wednesday evening, 6 February 2008 at 7 p.m. at the Duke Homestead Visitor's Center, 2828 Duke Homestead Road, Durham, NC 27705. Phone: (919) 477-5498 – One-half mile from I-85 and Guess Rd (Exit 175), Follow the brown historic site road signs.
The 6 February meeting program will be presented by Dr. Walt Wolfram of NCSU. He will discuss NC Dialects and play recorded video of various native speakers from a variety of regions of North Carolina, i.e., mountain, Outer Banks, central Piedmont, and Robeson County. Walt Wolfram is a William C. Friday Distinguished Professor, the Coordinator of Linguistics at NC State and specializes in language variation and social and ethnic dialects.
More about the Linguistics Program at NC State : http://www.ncsu.edu/linguistics/
The D-OGS Computer Interest Group (CIG) Meeting will meet on Saturday morning, 9 February 2008 at 9 a.m. at the Chapel Hill Library downstairs in the small conference room of the Chapel Hill Public Library, 100 Library Drive, Chapel Hill, NC. The program is presently TBA. Please check the D-OGS website or attend the regular D-OGS meeting on 6 February for further details.
The meeting was called to order at 7:05 PM. There was one new member in attendance and two guests out of the 31 attendees.
The evening's program was "The Digital CSR: Saunders and Clark (and Weeks) in the Internet Age" by Jason Tomberlin, the special projects librarian at the North Carolina Collection, University of North Carolina.
Mr. Tomberlin offered this explanation: "Documenting the American South and the North Carolina Collection, both a part of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill Library, are digitizing the twenty-six volume set of The Colonial and State Records of North Carolina, together with the four-volume Index to the Colonial and State Records of North Carolina. This three-year project continues the legacy of an earlier generation's extensive scholarship, improve it with this generation's technology, and empowers today's and tomorrow's users by offering easier, more efficient and more flexible access to 9500 colonial-and early state-era documents."
He said they had found the D-OGS cemetery index to be one of the best resources and he had turned to it frequently.
He explained that volumes 1-26 of the CSR were Colonial records, letters, and both court and church records. 1-10 covered 1622 to 1776; 11-21 contained records from 1776 to 1790; 22 was a "miscellaneous" volume; 23-25 were General Assembly session laws and volume 26 contained the 1790 Federal Census which was not in the master index since it had its own index. Jason said these records contained approximately 9500 documents. Volumes 27-30 had a master index for volumes 1-25.
He reminded us that these are copies—sometimes a document was copied several times—and there are built-in errors due to the number of copies involved. There was not time to go back and look at each original document and check for errors. Once the complete version of the records are online, there will be a comment page so that any errors researchers note can be identified.
Jason said there is a Beta version online at this time so you can start using the database. You can locate it in two ways. Either type in the direct link: http://docsouth.unc.edu/csr/ or start at the Libraries page for UNC at http://www.lib.unc.edu/ and select "Digital Collections including DocSouth" on the lower right. When that page opens select "Documenting the American South" on the upper left. From there, select "Collections" in the blue bar across the upper fourth. Then click on the second picture from the top and you are ready to start.
There is a keyword search which will take you to a page where, for instance, your family name is listed. At this point, it won't take you directly to the name so use the Find feature.
There will be many more search options available in the near future. At this time, Volumes 1-10 and 12 are live on the site. Remember that it's not all up yet so Jason suggested we visit frequently to see what's been added.
After Jason answered a number of questions and received an enthusiastic round of applause, Paul began the business part of the meeting.
The Minutes for November 2007 were approved as published in the December newsletter.
Rob Elias reported on the Trading Path and said an issue would be coming out in February and would be 40 pages long. He said it was ready to go out to the people who volunteered to proofread.
Richard presented the Newsletter report and suggested that a future project would be a listing of books and other publications in the possession of D-OGS members that might be helpful for the general membership. He was asked to make suggestions for format so we would know how to submit the information.
Paul said that there had been problems with the web site and D-OGS-L in that some people have been dropped. If you aren't receiving messages let Paul know. He said he's been sending out messages at least every 2-3 weeks.
The February meeting will be February 6 at Duke Homestead at 7 PM. The topic will be "North Carolina Dialects" and the speaker will be Dr. Walt Wolfram at NCSU.
There being no treasurer's report, the meeting was adjourned at 9:02 PM
Respectfully submitted,
Tonya Krout, Secretary

A Genealogist's New Year's Resolutions
By Joan Young
You've probably made the usual New Year's resolutions in the past. You know–the ones about eating less and losing weight, exercising more, cleaning out the attic and garage. If you are like most of us, those resolutions are soon broken or forgotten–until a new year rolls around again.
This year, give some thought to resolutions you could make for the New Year (one's that might be easier to keep than the above) that would help you to progress in your genealogical research. I have a list of genealogical resolutions I'm going to make for the New Year; perhaps you would like to adopt one or more of them for yourself.
At the top of my list is being more meticulous about documenting where I found information–always listing a source for each event I've found and listing what records I've used to reach my conclusions.
Your source is where you learned your information. It might be a birth certificate, tombstone inscription, information your grand-aunt Susannah told you, or even Sally JONES's research files. Don't list a document as your source if you didn't actually see the document. If Mary SMITH told you she saw a document, then Mary SMITH is your source unless or until you also see the document.
Documenting sources and then sitting back and reviewing them can help you determine whether your sources are good ones that you can readily accept, or whether you might want to dig a bit deeper for more reliable documentation. Mary SMITH may be an excellent researcher but if you have taken her word for the evidence you might want to obtain the original document she claims to have seen. You might find something in the document that Mary overlooked.
If you have searched the local newspapers looking for an obituary for Uncle Harry or checked the local cemetery records where you think he might have been buried, and you have come up empty-handed, make sure you record the fact that you have searched these resources and list the date on which you performed your search. This is an error I made in my early days of research and I can tell you it has led me to repeat searches unnecessarily in the future, in places I've already looked. Of course, recording the date you did your search is important as you might later find that new records have been discovered for the cemetery you previously searched.
If you have been researching for any length of time, you have probably come to a dead-end on one or more of your ancestral lines. Among my brick walls is my Irish MCCONNELL line, mostly because I have been unable to ascertain where they lived in Ireland before immigrating to America.
The New Year is an excellent time to pull out all of the information you have gathered–clues and hints and family stories, and also the leads you eventually ruled out. Revisit the research with a fresh look. Also take into consideration that new information may have become available online that was not there when you last checked. Don't forget to search the archives of the RootsWeb mailing lists and message boards as well as look for new Web pages and family trees that have been posted by others since you last looked.

Remember to send me your goals for the New Year for the CIG so we can start planning the year's agendas. It all comes from you, so let's make it as relevant as it can be. Carol Hubbell Boggs – email@example.com
Do you have any good tidbits about Orange & Durham County research or just genealogical research in general that you would like to share with others? If so, please send them to us. We would like to reprint them in the newsletter or the Trading Path Journal. If you have suggestions for other relevant material to include, please let us know about that, also.
It is with a great deal of sadness that I report the death of a long-time D-OGS member. Altha W. Parks "Weynette" Haun, 81, passed away at her home on Argonne Drive in Durham Saturday morning, 5 January 2008. Over the years, Weynette had been very active in county records transcriptions in North Carolina and had several volumes of county records transcriptions, including early court records for Orange County, available for sale.
Ms. Haun is survived by her two sons, Robert Arnold Haun Jr. and Walter Reid Haun Sr.
A funeral service will be held at a later date.
The family is being assisted in Durham by Clements Funeral Service Inc.
Last month, I proposed that we develop a spreadsheet or database of research materials & resources that each of us own. We could make this information available to all members via the "members" website. It should be another place to look for materials to aid each of us in our family research. Judging from the D-OGS members surname list, I am betting that we have many gems that we can share with each other. This would, of course, be voluntary but could be our own smaller version of RAOGK (Random Acts Of Genealogical Kindness).
I suggest that we provide the following information:
– Media (book, CD, pamphlet, etc.)
– Title
– Author or editor
– Publisher
– General description
– Geographical location(s)
– Surnames, if applicable
– Timeframe, if applicable
– Ethnicity, if applicable
– Submitter's name with contact info preference
If you send it electronically, it can be in a word processing document or a spreadsheet or a text document sent as an email attachment. You can just include it in the body of an email, if you wish. You can even send it via US mail to me at the D-OGS mailbox (Box 4703, Chapel Hill, NC 27515-4703). The most important is that as many members contribute as possible. Please include a description of how you would like to be contacted for questions (phone, email, "snail mail").
This could be a very helpful project to us all. I look forward to seeing your responses.
I don't know if my grandmother got her Christmas coconut cake tradition from Orange County, but she was the daughter of Saurin Orsborn Lloyd, who moved to Lauderdale County, TN, about 1850, and it is quite likely Saurin had enjoyed that in his youth. Bettie (Lloyd) Dickerson always made a four layer white cake with fresh grated coconut icing, and many years after she passed the younger family members still remarked about Auntie's cake.
My mother continued the tradition, as did I. When my son was married in December, some years back, his bride-to-be asked for that to be her wedding cake, so I made it in three tiers, surrounded by fresh camellia blossoms, and topped with the bride and groom from my own wedding cake. The descendants may be scattered, and they may add and alter some details, but I'd like to think that the traditions carried on give us a sense of belonging and some gratitude for family, past and present.

Representatives from Riggs Ward Design, the contracted planning consultants for the Durham History Museum planning study will be in Durham on THURSDAY, JANUARY 31 and will be conducting a series of charettes (information/idea gathering sessions) to gather input from the community.
There will be three opportunities to participate in this first stage of the process, at the start of a five-month research study.
The charettes will be held at the shared offices of Preservation Durham and the Parrish Street Project. 200 N. Mangum Street, corner of Mangum and Parrish Streets, Durham.
Each charette will last approximately one hour. Times are 8:30am, 10:30am and 1:30pm.
You are invited to attend and to encourage others to participate. The charettes are open to the public. In order to anticipate attendance at each session, please ask those who will be attending to RSVP to email@example.com and indicate which time they will attend. (This is not required but would be helpful.)
The History Museum Planning Project is a cooperative project of the Cultural Master Plan Advisory Board, Preservation Durham, and the Parrish Street Advisory Group and is funded by the Cultural Master Plan, a joint project of the City and County of Durham.

The U.S. National Genealogical Society has issued a call for papers for the 2009 Conference-in-the-States to be held 13–16 May 2009 in Raleigh, North Carolina.
Among the topics being considered are lectures on the history, records, repositories and ethnic and religious groups of North Carolina and neighboring states with special emphasis on migrations into, within and out of the region and the origins of the early settlers. Other regional topics of interest include land and military records (especially the French and Indian Revolutionary and Civil wars).
Proposals are also solicited for the broader genealogical categories including federal records, the law as it relates to genealogy, methodology, problem solving, the use of technology including genetics and other 20th-century research topics and hands-on and computer workshops. Details may be found at http://www.ngsgenealogy.org/callforpapers.cfm.
Documenting the American South is pleased to announce a beta release of "The Colonial and State Records of North Carolina" (CSR) on December 31, 2007. When completed, our newest digital collection, which is available at <http://docsouth.unc.edu/csr/>, will present an online publication of The Colonial and State Records of North Carolina, a twenty-six volume set of transcribed and published historical documents, with a four-volume master index. The printed edition, which was published between 1886 and 1914, has been an extraordinary resource for students of North Carolina's history for over one hundred years. The series includes documents and materials from throughout the country and from several European repositories covering the earliest days of North Carolina's settlement by Europeans through the ratification of the United States Constitution.
In "The Colonial and State Records of North Carolina" digital collection, we have brought together traditional historical editing practices with modern digitization practices to facilitate multiple browsing and searching options. Readers can access the original publication's master index and browse through the series as the editors arranged it. They can also search the full text of each document and search by several metadata elements, including creator, date, title, and document type, created specifically for the digital collection.
We plan to release the digital collection in several installments. Below you will find a tentative roadmap, detailing future additions of features and functionalities to the site. In addition, more volumes will be published as they are digitized:
January – March 2008
+ Add "Browse by Date" feature
+ "Advanced Search" goes up
February – May 2008
+ More supporting materials will be added to the collection, including
"FAQ" and other "Help Pages"
March – April 2008
+ More "Browse CSR" options added (by Creator, by Document Type, by
Document Group)
+ Add documents and topics cross-reference within the whole series
May – June 2008
+ Fully functional integration with other DocSouth collections
This and subsequent revisions have been made possible by a Library Services and Technology Act grant distributed through the State Library of North Carolina.
We will meet once again at Duke Forest west of Hillsborough for our February First Sunday Hike. This is a favorite spot filled with artifacts of early roads, quarries, cabins, and farmsteads. We've never hiked here that we didn't find something new. The meeting place is along the east-bound connector between Interstate 85/40 and Highway 70 near interchange 161 of the interstate. Exit the interstate and follow the connector northward. After about a half mile begin looking for Trading Path event signs.
For some time the TPA has been locating bits and pieces of what appears to have been one of the earliest trading paths in the southeast, a path that connected the Chesapeake with all of the Native American folk in the southeast. This path, later trail, later road crossed the Eno River several places above the great bend; at the future site of Maddocks Mill, at the future site of Fawcette Mill, or at Halls Mill and at least one or two spots farther upstream depending, it seems, on water conditions and ultimate destinations. The most-used downstream crossing along the Haw River on this line was at Saxapahaw. The most-used upstream crossing was probably at Ossippee or even High Rock. The main line, though, ran down Highway 57 and Mount Willing Road in Orange County, Mount Willing Road in Alamance County and crossed the Haw at Cedar Cliffs. A variety of evidence indicates this Haw crossing is where John Lawson forded in 1701. We'll look at a portion of this venerable path/trail/road.
AFRICAN AMERICAN LIVES 2 (AAL2) will air on PBS February 6 and 13, 2008 from 9-11 p.m. ET) (check local listings). AAL2 is a co-production of Thirteen/WNET New York, Kunhardt Productions and Inkwell Films.
You may remember the first AFRICAN AMERICAN LIVES series (Feb 2006) hosted by renowned Harvard scholar Henry Louis Gates Jr. The series used genealogy, historical records, oral histories and DNA science to trace the roots of eight accomplished African Americans including Oprah Winfrey, Whoopi Goldberg, Chris Tucker, Bishop T.D. Jakes and Quincy Jones, among others.
AAL2 builds on the themes of the original series – the power of rediscovering lost history and the excitement of genealogical and historical investigation – while providing an in-depth look at history and race relations in America.
Joining Professor Gates in the new broadcast are poet Maya Angelou; author Bliss Broyard; actor Don Cheadle; actor Morgan Freeman; theologian Peter Gomes; publisher Linda Johnson Rice; radio personality Tom Joyner; Olympic athlete Jackie Joyner-Kersee; comedian Chris Rock; rock 'n' roll legend Tina Turner; and college administrator Kathleen Henderson, selected from more than 2,000 applicants to have her family history researched and DNA tested along with that of Professor Gates and the series' other ten participants.
The opening of his exhibit at the NC Museum of History is especially poignant, since February is Black History Month. Nationally renowned photojournalist Alexander M. Rivera Jr. revealed aspects of the Civil Rights movement that mainstream newspapers did not cover. The Greensboro native often witnessed pivotal moments in civil rights history while working for some of the country's leading black newspapers: the Journal and Guide (Norfolk, Va.), the Pittsburgh Courier, and the Washington Tribune (Washington, D.C.).
Rivera's dynamic images of African American communities during these tumultuous years are captured in the upcoming exhibit Bearing Witness: Civil Rights Photographs of Alexander Rivera, on view from Jan. 25, 2008, to March 1, 2009. See his compelling images, and learn how Rivera's dual role as a reporter and a photographer positioned him to become one of the era's important civil rights activists.
Born in 1913 during the height of the Jim Crow era, Rivera is the eldest of three children of Greensboro dentist and civil rights activist Dr. Alexander M. Rivera Sr. and his wife, Daisy Irene Dillard Rivera. The photojournalist grew up immersed in civil rights activism, since his father was a zealous NAACP member and traveling national NAACP leaders, such as Walter White, William Pickens and James Weldon Johnson, frequently stayed in their home.
Mr. Rivera lives in Durham.
The genealogical records of Madison County will be available online soon. The Edwardsville Public Library has received a $6,200 digitization grant from the Illinois State Library to make the records of the Madison County Genealogical Society available online. The materials cannot be checked out, so putting them online will allow more people to research their family trees.
You can read more about this future online offering in the Belleville News-Democrat web site at http://www.bnd.com/news/local/story/224869.html.
(This nugget of information was found in the Eastman's Online Genealogy Newsletter. Several old Orange County families migrated to Illinois, beginning in the early 1800's, so this may be of interest to some of you. Ed.)
A book of maps is called an atlas because of the innovative sixteenth-century Flemish geographer Gerardus Mercator's book of maps detailing various portions of Europe. Sported on its cover was a picture of the Greek titan Atlas holding the world on his shoulders–and that book became known as the atlas.

There was a four-year-old child, whose next door neighbor was an elderly gentleman who had recently lost his wife. Upon seeing the man cry, the little boy went into the old gentleman's yard, climbed onto his lap, and just sat there.
When his mother asked him what he had said to the neighbor, the little boy just said, "Nothing, I just helped him cry."
