Digging up the Past at a Richmond Jail
The excavation of a notorious jail recalls Virginia's leading role in the slave trade
- By Abigail Tucker
- Smithsonian magazine, March 2009, Subscribe
Archaeologists knew that Robert Lumpkin's slave jail stood in one of the lowest parts of Richmond, Virginia—a sunken spot known as Shockoe Bottom. From the 1830s to the Civil War, when Richmond was the largest American slave-trading hub outside of New Orleans, "the devil's half acre," as Lumpkin's complex was called, sat amid a swampy cluster of tobacco warehouses, gallows and African-American cemeteries. This winter, after five months of digging, researchers uncovered the foundation of the two-and-a-half-story brick building where hundreds of people were confined and tortured. Buried under nearly 14 feet of earth, the city's most notorious slave jail was down a hill some eight feet below the rest of Lumpkin's complex—the lowest of the low.
"People inside would have felt hemmed in, trapped," says Matthew Laird, whose firm, the James River Institute for Archaeology Inc., uncovered the 80- by 160-foot plot. On a wet December day, the site was a deep, raw pit pocked with mud puddles, with an old brick retaining wall that divided the bottom—which soaked workers were struggling to pump dry—into two distinct tiers.
A century and a half ago, there would have been plenty of traffic back and forth between the upper level of the complex, where the master lived and entertained guests, and the lower, where slaves waited to be sold. Lumpkin, a "bully trader" known as a man with a flair for cruelty, fathered five children with a black woman named Mary, who was a former slave and who eventually acted as his wife and took his name. Mary had at least some contact with the unfortunates her husband kept in chains, on one occasion smuggling a hymnal into the prison for an escaped slave named Anthony Burns.
"Imagine the pressure that was applied, and what she had to live through," says Delores McQuinn, chairwoman of Richmond's Slave Trail Commission, which promotes awareness of the city's antebellum past and sponsored much of the dig.
Though Lumpkin's jail stood only three blocks from where the state capitol building is today, except for local history buffs "no one had a clue that this was here," McQuinn says. Razed in the 1870s or '80s, the jail and Lumpkin's other buildings were long buried beneath a parking lot for university students, part of it lost forever under a roaring strip of Interstate 95. Preservation efforts didn't coalesce until 2005, when plans for a new baseball stadium threatened the site, which archaeologists had pinpointed using historical maps.
The place has haunted McQuinn ever since her initial visit in 2003, soon after she first learned of its existence. "I started weeping and couldn't stop. There was a presence here. I felt a bond," she said. "It's a heaviness that I've felt over and over again."
Digging from August to December in "this place of sighs," as James B. Simmons, an abolitionist minister, called the jail in 1895, Laird and his team found evidence of a kitchen and cobblestone courtyard on the upper level of Lumpkin's property, but didn't verify finding the jail itself until the last weeks of work. Even then they couldn't do much more than mark the spot, because groundwater from a nearby creek filled up trenches almost as fast as they could be dug. Decades of dampness had its advantages, though. Because oxygen does not penetrate wet soil, the bacteria that typically break down organic matter don't survive. As a result, many details of daily life were preserved: wooden toothbrushes, leather shoes and fabric.
The archaeologists found no whipping rings, iron bars or other harsh artifacts of slavery, but there were traces of the variety of lives within the compound. Shards of tableware included both fine hand-painted English china and coarse earthenware. Parts of a child's doll were also recovered on the site, a hint of playtime in a place where some people were starved into submission. To whom did the doll belong? Did its owner also belong to someone?
"Robert Lumpkin came out of nowhere," says Philip Schwarz, a professor emeritus of history at Virginia Commonwealth University who has researched the Lumpkin family for years. Lumpkin began his career as an itinerant businessman, traveling through the South and buying unwanted slaves before purchasing an existing jail compound in Richmond in the 1840s.With a designated "whipping room," where slaves were stretched out on the floor and flogged, the jail functioned as a human clearinghouse and as a purgatory for the rebellious.

I have learned and been told about the history of this city thru the eyes and experience of my grand mother. She is well into her 90's and shared plenty with me over the years in growing up. It is sad that many places are covered or built over erasing much of the history some wish to forget and other's desire to preserve.

I can always tell who white and who's not when speaking on the iissue of Slavery in the United States...the good white citizens will usually say things like"we need to get over it" or like Debbie "every culture had slaves"..you will never hear a black person so cavalier in their discussion of slavery in America. Many of these whites citizens families never owned slaves but does that mean they never benefited from the decades long system of Jim Crow in any way? As far as the 100 million ...why is this so hard to believe pratically every european powerhouse invested in slaves!!..problem with the U.S slavery institution was the hyprocrasy of it all...land of the free,as long as you're white!,all men are created equal..unless you came shipped from a slave ship!

I am not sure if this message will find you 2+ years later, it is worth a shot. I have compiled some ancestry of Robert Lumpkin's "wife" Mary. I am attempting to discover why she relocated to New Richmond, Ohio, when her daughter was in New York, and two living sons were still located in Philadelphia, where they were raised. Would love to exchange info @ firstname.lastname@example.com (cheryL email@example.com)
Thank you!

I was so lucky to find this article about the Lumpkin Jail at one of my clients' homes. I was actually looking at a different article when the name Robert Lumpkin caught my eye. I believe this may be the missing link I have been looking for. Robert Lumpkin and his 'acting' wife may be relatives to my family. I am looking forward to any new discoveries in and around this plot. Even though we may not like some of the things our country has done in the past, we can't just sweep them under the rug as if these things never happened. Let's remember and learn from our mistakes so we can move on as a country.

It is with much honor that I come upon this article as my third Great Grandfather was Nathaniel Colver and after much research have discovered all of the wonderful duties that he, as a Baptist Minister and as a Man, accomplished in his life. It is a goal of mine to come to Virginia and visit this site along with the University that exists today.

I am glad that have started digging to uncover the past in Richmond, alot of the buildings have been tored down and the past is lost forever, we have only a few people that lived during thoses times that can really tell the stories to be pasted on to the next generations of people. The real stories need to be told to all

If we are ever going to heal as a nation of people, we need to get past the wrong-doings of our previous generations. No one in my family's history owned slaves. I've never been prejudiced against another race of people. I grew up in the sixties in Montgomery, Alabama. I saw the unfair treatment. It was wrong. I didn't agree with it then and I don't now. There is too much hate and resentment in this world. We need to love one another and live by the golden rule. We can't change the past, but we can learn from it and change the future through forgiveness. I celebrate our diversity. It is our strength as a nation. We need to move forward. God bless...

I was involved in saving a slave cemetery from developers in Dallas. I am 78 y.o. grew up in the old Freedman"s Town of Dallas,TX. So I had been told by elders that this was a place where slaves where buried. The area was all black at this time (1930-1948). This land is now some of the most valuable in Dallas, now referred to as Uptown. we worked with the state highway department, and solicited state , city and private funds. This is now the most beautiful memorial in the city.

I live in Richmond,Va and adjacent to this site on the opposite side of the street is a yet to be researched Slave burial ground where the remains of hundreds of slaves (many from the Lumpkins site) are believed to be buried. This site was(and part of the area still is) a parking lot up until 2-3 years ago and Virginia Commonwealth University (V.C.U.) still owns the property and have only recently decided to halt any further "parking lot improvement" plans. Their are also those who want to move a new baseball stadium onto the land near the Lumpkins site(the entire area around the Lumpkins site was once a human market place)The Shockoe Bottom area is fundamentally an outside market area with nightclubs,bars&restuarants,apts,condo's train station,art galleries etc..The historic preservation has to be regonized. For those who want to state themes such as "get over it" or "slavery existed everywhere in the world" allow me to briefly make a point....none of those "other" past or present slave nations ever claimed to be be "God's" country (although some Jews may argue that God gave Isreal to the hebrews but that's another discussion) to the point of included those themes in it's Constitution,none of those "other" countries openly claimed to be the greatest nation in modern history based on it's blessings from God & it's open opppurtunity ideology either,hypocracy can't define democracy.

Kim Jones- Richmond's beautiful historic neighborhoods were built in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, after slavery ended in the US. The State Capitol was probably built with slave labor, as the US Capitol was.

Keep up with the ongoing story of Lumpkin's Jail in Richmond: http://riverdistrictnews.com/tag/lumpkins-jail/
Posted by john m on March 4,2009 | 12:54 PM
I am reminded of the "Door of No Return",at the Goree Island Museum off the coast of Senegal, West Africa. As Kim Jones stated, these prisons were "Hell Holes" of unbearable cruelty. When I read about the whipping room in the Lumpkin jail I had a flash back of going inside the cell of the "Recalcitrants".The floor was constructed as a slope that caused captured slaves to be piled one on top of another. It is time that the city of Richmond honored the historical past by constructing a museum that documents what role slavery played in our not so distant past. Slavery still exists in the 21st century as unpaid labor, however, the post-traumatic slave syndrome exists in our society with individuals who say we must "get over it". We get over trauma by first admitting that it occurred and learn how we can heal from it. Thanks to Delores McQuinn for her determination to honor this historical past.

Let's not forget that there are over 27,000,000 (yes, million) slaves in our "modern" world. Sad but true fact, and what's being done about it ???

eCalton is excited to announce the rollout of its new company name change from "eCalton.com, Inc." to "Blue Tangerine Solutions." The new name supports the 2006 change in ownership when Greg Bray, then Vice President of Operations for eCalton, purchased the company from Calton, Inc. Now being owned by Bray Web Development, Inc., the company continues to focus on Internet technology and office networking solutions. "Blue Tangerine Solutions was selected as our new company name because it is unusual enough to be memorable, and it's generic enough to support our business growth in the rapidly evolving sector of the Internet technology industry. And although it is a bit longer than "eCalton," it's actually easier to spell," said President, Greg Bray. "As the Internet continues to weave itself into all aspects of business, we look forward to guiding our clients through the complexity to find clear solutions." While we will have a new name and logo, our staff and corporate direction have not changed. We are now more focused than ever to provide technology solutions to help our clients gain competitive advantage. We have specialty strengths in building Web sites for the homebuilder and real estate industries, e-Commerce Web sites, general database-driven Web sites , and business office networking. We've been developing Web sites since our company was first founded as iAW, Inc. in 1995, and are proud to continue the tradition as Blue Tangerine Solutions.

This is an extremely attractive site when you view it in its entirety. The architecture theme is masterfully done and I love the use of bright colors mixed with an otherwise dully gray theme.
Posted in Web Design → DesignA really nice photo-centric design with beautiful graphics and an awesome color palette. I really like the double column layout and strokes in the actual blog area, it is a fairly typical layout but looks particularly attractive here.
Posted in Web Design → BlogMcdonalds really stepped up to the plate with their most recent website design. It is modern, clean, and uses superb food photography extensively. By ditching the clutter and letting the food be the hero, they really highlight their products well.
Posted in Web Design → FoodBusy textured design is not easy to pull off but this designer did a great job. I love the combination of the bright colors with the grunge textures.
Posted in Web Design → CommunityA nice use of photography to add color and depth to a design. I love the use of bold colors, typography and graphical elements that really bring a unique quality to this design.
Posted in Web Design → FoodA beautiful site with a well-executed space theme, large attractive graphics and photos, and attractive typography. From top to bottom this is just a great looking site that perfectly nails the aesthetic for the target market.
Posted in Web Design → MusicA very simple and clean design with just a touch of silliness with the gecko peeking over the fold. Scroll down to the area near the footer. I like the large screenshot with comments and the nice button design in this area.
Posted in Web Design → CorporateIt is nice to see a designer put a lot of thought towards aesthetics on a site for a local business. I like the use of shiny red elements scattered throughout the page and the modular structure of the information.
Posted in Web Design → SportA dark and dramatic theme that uses faux lighting effects and wooden textures to add visual interest. The crazy footer design is a particularly nice and almost hidden touch. Be sure to visit the site and scroll all the way down to check it out.
Posted in Web Design → PortfolioThis site uses a very simple layout to pull off a classy and minimal portfolio. The biggest section on the page is the work sample slider which really gives emphasis to the talent of the designer and therefore highlights the product for sale.
Posted in Web Design → PortfolioThis site is a perfect example of how good photography is an easy and almost instant way to create classy design. The dramatic photo does all the aesthetic heavy lifting along with some grungy and old style text to support the theme.
Posted in Web Design → PortfolioAn interesting take on the grid-based portfolio. I like the hover effects and the scattered client quotes. Those really help to provide comfort for potential clients who might be wary about hiring a designer they are not familiar with.
Posted in Web Design → PortfolioThis site presents an interesting mix of grunge textures and modern design elements. I love the shadows under the portfolio items and the faux sticker look.
Posted in Web Design → PortfolioA really nice freelance design portfolio with a solid layout and some fun illustrations. I really appreciate how well thought the entire page is from top to bottom. The area above the footer is just as nice as the header.
Posted in Web Design → PortfolioThe messy desk look has sort of been done to death but this site pulls it off much better than most. The wooden texture is really well done and the all the Photoshop work is quite impressive. The bottom portion has some nice shadow effects you should check out as well.
Posted in Web Design → CorporateThis site is fantastically unique in just about every way possible. From the crazy illustrated background to the original 3D ribbon navigation area, it all has a high quality custom feel that is hard to find and easy to appreciate.
Posted in Web Design → DesignThis site uses dark colors and grunge textures to set a young and edgy vibe. I particularly liked the hover effect on the navigation area. It stretches all the way to the top and is sort of a faux lighting illusion.
Posted in Web Design → PortfolioLooking great in black, this site features a simple artwork display area with a welcome message. There is lots of subtle texture work here that really brings a finished look to the site.
Posted in Web Design → PortfolioThis site uses an awesome vintage photograph theme with birds and clouds. The clouds provide an animated background which stays fixed when you scroll as the foreground content glides over it. A nice effect!
Posted in Web Design → PortfolioThis site features an excellently original design with a Photoshop empty canvas stretched into a 3D environment. I love the visual communication here. You do not need a single word to see that the site is for a female designer who is a little on the goofy side.

He is such an encouragement.....a breath of fresh air!!!!....I could listen to him for hours.....such calming, down to earth wisdom.
"ATTACK", When does a simple critique of policy become an attack, and so what?
The left is circling like a pack of dogs trying to find the angle to attack an attractive plain spoken black doctor. Attack? attack the lies and bs of the left with the truth and don´t be surprised when Dr Carson is Palinized.
Another thumb check of the Alinski Rules should do the trick for the lefties in attacking Carson.
I must have missed something. I don´t believe Dr. Carson sounds anything like Sarah Palin, neither in tone nor content. He speaks without platitudes, which is a refreshing change from too many on our side.
The best the left can do is ignore him--pretend he doesn´t exist. There are no grounds for attack: He´s well-spoken, knowledgeable, highly educated (Yale, Michigan), has an astronomical I.Q., holds four full professorships, 50+ honorary doctorates, and is at the very top of his field in neurosurgery.
Dr. Carson did not ´attack´ obama. He exercised his constitutional (and God-given) right to express himself freely.Only in the perverted minds of liberal-progressive-commies would Carson´s words be considered an attack.And that is his point. Enough of the PC crap!

DENVER (AP) -- Democrats rejected a Republican proposal to give business owners and employees in Colorado the right to use deadly force against suspected intruders.
The so-called "Make My Day Better" bill failed Monday in a Democrat-led House committee.
Republicans have pushed the proposal for several years. The bill would expand to businesses the legal protections that exist for people who use deadly force at home under the state's "Make My Day" law.
Republicans say business owners and employees should be able to protect themselves like people at home. But opponents of the bill say it would give businesses too much discretion to use deadly force.

Wooden Window was amazing to work with. The product is beautiful. I've never seen windows that were so well made. It was a pleasure doing business with them. I would use them again.
Wooden Window has done work for me before...I knew they would take care of things very quickly. Wooden Window went above and beyond getting those things fixed before the new renters moved in. I truly appreciate that..
Wooden Window is our "go-to" source for highest quality custom wood windows and doors. They not only provide a great product, but they have the technicians to make sure every installation goes smoothly. Great company! Highly recommended.
Wooden Window was very professional. They kept the work space in our house clean. They answered all of our questions. The windows are beautiful and we get compliments all of the time.
When Plath shops windows for our clients, Wooden Window are our go-to guys. Their product is first rate, locally made in the Bay Area, and delivered on time. I highly recommend Wooden Window for quality service and good value.

I'm a 4th year kindergarten teacher at the Indiana School for the Deaf and I am constantly creating new things for my classroom and school by finding ideas and inspiration online - especially from wonderful blogs like yours! I was drooling over the conference details the other day and was waiting till the weekend to sign up. Thanks for blogging and sharing all your wonderful ideas with the world!!
email@example.com am really excited to learn new ideas from fellow teachers out there! I'm always looking for ideas in all different areas. I follow you on facebook and now your blog!
Growing Up TeachingI want to attend because I need all the help I can get to help my kindergarten teachers. I am an Academic Coach with no background in working with kindergartens. This expo is exactly what I have been looking for.
Thinking Out LoudI would LOVE to attend, i am a final year student teacher, and would love to participate in this virtual conference!! What a fabulous idea! I love learning from experienced teachers, and as it is my final 6 months, i am sure i need all the coaching and experience i can get :-)

Help!! I am back in K (the happiest place on earth) after 10 years of first & second!! I am collecting the freshest and most amazing ideas for my K Stars!! I would LOVE attending!! I would love to win a ticket to attend! I am brand new to K this year and I'm trying to slowly bring our K dept. out of the depths of yesteryear! Being able to actually see and hear the wonderful presenters would make reading and blogstalking so much more worthwhile! Not to mention to the goodie bag that is included!!!
ReplyDeleteHi Crystal! I just found your blog and I am so inspired by it! I work with 3-5 year olds in a Head Start, but my career goal is to become a public school Kindergarten teacher. Where I'm currently working we aren't allowed to do any worksheets with the children, which I feel is not preparing the 5 year olds for when they get to public Kindergarten. I need some help and new ideas for getting these 5 year olds ready for Kindergarten! Since I work with 3-5 year olds I have not been provided with much training on school-readiness for the 5 year olds, and my employment will not be providing me with any. So I am seeking it out on my own, and would love to participate in your conference! I am applying for a public Kindergarten position for this coming fall, and if I get it, I want to be as prepared as possible! Also, I need a free ticket because I just got engaged (yahoo!) and we are saving every last penny for our wedding July 27, 2013 as we are funding it ourselves (both our parents are unable to help- mine were recently divorced and suffering financial difficulties, and his are supporting their oldest child & his son).
Thank you!!!!

I would love to attend the expo. I too work at a school where there is very little money for professional development or to pay subs while I am gone. This is a perfect opportunity. No misssed days of school. I follow your blog and want to thank you for all that you do. You are awesome!
firstname.lastname@example.com I would LOVE to attend this expo!! I signed up for a previous expo, paid for it, got the info in my e-mail, and then my e-mail got hacked and my wonderful hubby shut it down without telling me!! Oh well, I would love another chance to attend the expo!!
Oh, and here is my e-mail...
email@example.com have been wanting to purchase a ticket, but I feel selfish spending the money when my family is needing other necessities. Although I view learning new things for teaching as a need, I could not break down to purchase the ticket. I would LOVE to see and hear the advice and suggestions that will be offered during this EXPO...You ladies ROCK! firstname.lastname@example.com

I would absolutely love to attend the conference. Unfortunately like you said my school is not fortunate enough to send us all to professional developments. So instead of professional development I try to follow as many educational blogs and such to learn new techniques and stay current with the times. I've been following you on Facebook for some time now and I love everything that you post so I believe this would be an awesome opportunity for a k teacher like me!
Jessica Stanford
firstname.lastname@example.com I would love to attend this expo. Like you, my district cannot afford outside conferences or speakers for the teachers as a whole, just the teacher leaders. The kinder teachers in the district do not get the opportunity to get together and share their ideas as often as I would like either. I am always looking for new methods and ideas to keep my kinders excited about being in school. For most of my kinders, this is their first experience with formal learning and I want to make sure it is a great memory in the making for them.

firstname.lastname@example.com I'm an ESE teacher, and this has been my first year in Kindergarten. I'm having a blast with my little ones, but it is definitely oh so different than working with intermediate kiddos. I'm always looking for new ideas on how best to help my sweet babies learn and flourish. I would love the opportunity to attend the Everything Kindergarten Expo!
ReplyDeleteThis couldn't come at a better time. Tuesday I take over a Kinder class mid-year for a retiring teacher. She was wonderful - the kids will definitely miss her.
I NEVER would have thought that I would be a kinder teacher! My focus and resources have always been on 3-5 so I am in desperate (and occasionally terrified) need of resources and suggestions. I am also smilingly excited about the class of 23 engaging students. What a help this would be.
firstname.lastname@example.com- AnonymousJanuary 15, 2012 at 9:06 AM
I would beyond love to attend. I am a fist year kindergarten teacher with no other kindergarten experience. It has been a scary year, but I am loving the little ones! I constantly blog hop to find all of your wonderful ideas and the expo sounds like the crown jewel! Thanks!

I would love to win a ticket. I have taught for many years but always looking for new ideas and way to teach. I love following you on your blog and Facebook. Many great ideas there.
ReplyDelete I'm a first year Kindergarten teacher (this was more of a career change for me). This is my first job as a teacher in which I am teaching in the grade I'm always wanted, in the school closest to my house, and in the same county I grew up in! There are 2 new Kindergarten teachers this year. I would love to attend the Expo to get more ideas to share with my team! I've attended our state's Kindergarten Teacher Conference this year but that is the only money our little county has for professional development for all the teachers at our school. Attending the virtual Expo would be a wonderful way for me to grow as a new teacher!
Diana Grubb
email@example.com would love to attend the virtual Expo. Getting new ideas and taking old ideas and putting a new spin on them to make it more exciting is what it's all about! I follow your blog and a few of the other presenters blogs as well and have loved the ideas and thoughts you have all shared. I don't get to attend a lot of Kindergarten conferences so this one would be a wonderful experience.

I would love to attend the Virtual Expo so that I can get some great ideas to use in my classroom. I would like to make a difference even more than I already do with my Kindergarten students. I need some more great ideas in order to help them to succeed.
ReplyDelete I would love to attend your workshop. It would give a little lift during the winter blues. I follow your blog and the others who are presenting. I love your stuff. I live in a small rural town in Maine. I teach in a k-12 school. The only converstation I get with other teachers is online through blogs. I would love to hear your great ideas and how I can add them to my class.
ReplyDeleteHi! I found your blog through TBA and just love it! I am in grad school right now, getting my degree in Early Childhood Education. I would love to attend the workshop! It would be a great supplement to my education and help me learn some great things that I can use in my future classroom as well as bring fresh ideas to the classrooms I volunteer in now. Thanks for providing us with this opportunity!
-Jennifer (firstname.lastname@example.com)This is my second year teaching kindergarten, but my third year experiencing it overall. I was a student teacher/intern for a full year before I started teaching the grade level. I had the most creative, wonderful mentor helping me, but even she felt that she could always grow and learn from others. She taught me to go out and research teacher blogs, get involved on Twitter and Facebook, and now to search Pinterest for awesome and exciting ideas. Teaching isn't just what I do. It's who I am and I am completely addicted to it! Going to this expo would make me like a kid in a candy store again! I would absolutely love it!
ReplyDeleteOk, so here is why I want to attend. I hate PD. There I said it and I have a good reason, they are never directed to specific grade levels (even when they are suppose to be). Here's the other reason I hate PD, can't attend in my jammies. However, if I can attend a PD in my jammies and it is grade level (with some AMAZING Kinder teachers leading it), well hot diggity I NEED to be there. So pick me pick me pick me...I may need to buy new jammies for the event!
email@example.com would love to attend this conference because I feel that my fellow teachers and I need some new ideas to implement. This is my fourth year in kinder and my partner's 8th and we tend to do the same 'ol same 'ol every year. We really need motivation to change it up and I know this conference will do it.

What a great give-away. I have never attended a virtual workshop/ conference before but it sounds wonderful. Conferences always fill me up with exciting new ideas that I can't wait to take back to the classroom.
Kathy Crowe
firstname.lastname@example.com I am so excited for this giveaway. I would like to win because my school has funds, but doesn't approve stuff like this for some reason. Also things are so strapped for my family that even the small fee is becoming hard for me to justify. I have followed several of the presenters blogs since this summer and love the things that I have learned from their blogs, I know I would learn so much more from this conference that I could take back to my teaching partners to share.

I would be so excited to attend the EXPO!! I started following blogs last summer and have had so much fun following so many of them. I keep adding to my list every week. I have taught for 32 years the last 5 back in kindergarten and I am having so much fun learning so many ways to teach my K's. You can teach old dogs new tricks.
Good luck with your new computer.
Thanks sharing,

Thank you for sharing your talents and advice so that we don't feel all alone thinking our kids are the only ones who "don't get something" or have those wonderful tales to tell.
My email address is firstname.lastname@example.com am new to blogging but old to teaching.

Efforts to Date
Since the fall of 2010, students in an Introduction to Rhetoric class taught by Allen Brizee, Ph.D., professor of writing, have worked each semester with Richnor Springs Community Association on compiling neighborhood stories and histories. In the fall of 2010, the students met with the association to develop a plan and flyers to support it.

Summary (Magill's Survey of American Literature, Revised Edition)
Gaddis's third novel in as many decades, Carpenter's Gothic was also his bleakest satire. Its style, as well as its theme of cultural entropy in a civilization where meaning and value are utterly degraded in a complex "media-scape," are consistent developments for him. While no plot summary can succeed in conveying the rich tapestry of characters, events, and cultural detailing in his work, this novel is not only briefer (at 262 pages) but also more focused—and therefore more readable—than either of Gaddis's prior works. For many readers, it therefore constitutes the best door into the writer's work.
The story centers on the last four weeks in the life of Elizabeth Vorakers Booth, a former debutante and the daughter of a mineral tycoon. Her father's suicide, nine years earlier, had been a desperate attempt to block the U.S. Senate's investigation of various briberies, manipulations of the media, and monopolistic dealings in Africa that assured his company's success. Liz's husband, Paul, a Vietnam War veteran, transacted F. R. Vorakers's bribes; he met (and seduced) Liz while testifying before the Congress after her father's death.
The novel thus opens, as did Gaddis's prior works, with complications resulting from a father's will or lack thereof. Desperately frustrated that fortunes are either tied up in lawsuits or manipulated by a network of self-serving associates, Paul Booth rages against his fate,...

"Good for what it is"Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Sep 28, 2012
This was a nice comfortable hotel. I stayed in a room with a full kitchen but the strange thing was there were no kitchen utensils, pots, pans or cutlery. The bed was very comfortable.
"Fantastic"Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Jun 4, 2012

"good stopover after late flight"Reviewed by jane c of "Ipswich UK" on Aug 22, 2011
We arrived very late (about midnight) in Anchorage after very long flights from UK and this hotel was ideal for first night in Alaska. We were wellcolmed and shown room quickly. Room was clean and comfortable and good breakfast followed to set us on our way

"great location"
Loved itGenuine Hotels.com guest review
friendly, easy and quietGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Insufficient parking, no restaurants nearby"
Did not like this hotel at all, Long check-in wait times, poor parking situation and far from restaurants.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
This hotel is disgusting. It smells and feels dirty. The staff is very nice and it is a great location but that doesn't overcome the facility. It is an old hojo and everything is old and rundown. The wreak of cigarette smoke is overwhelming.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Good location. That's it."
Near downtown and shops for tourists. For the price they charge, the service and the rooms just do not match up. This should not be your first choice for stay. Avoid if possible.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Decent value in a city with limited options"
We chose the Lofts because, frankly, it is hard to find a reasonably priced hotel in Anchorage during the summer. Its best quality is the location. You are close to all the attractions along 4th Avenue - including an impressive Farmer's Market on weekends - at "midtown prices." That said, east of C Street (where the hotel is), downtown Anchorage rapidly […] turns into a blighted area. The worst part of staying there was the lack of parking. The Lofts must have at least 100 rooms in it, but a free lot that can maybe hold 20 cars. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
This hotel should be skipped until they have a chance to clean up and maybe remodel their rooms. The stairwells where littered with trash and over the 3 days we where there nothing was cleaned up. Stains on linens, crumbs on floor. Staff was ok one didn't understand the reservation and tried to tell me I didn't have one. For what they charged it was […] a very unpleasant stay Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Convenient location in need of overhaul"
Parking and location are convenient for downtown with several restaurants, and shops nearby. Free coffee vouchers for the attached bar. Bar/restaurant is only open Monday to Friday though. No "Do not disturb" signs for doors.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Just ok for an overnight stay."
The gentleman on the reception was very helpful.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"OK Overall"
Nice location, average overall. Not 5 star but weren't paying for that. No ice bucket. :-(Genuine Expedia guest review
"Old, I mean OLD Place, despite the renovations"
1. Hotel is very wide, so if you park in the wrong area, get ready to walk, and walk, and walk. The signs pointing to the lobby may or may not be present so ask the first person you see where to go re-verify at every opportunity. 2. Bring your own hangers, ironing board, and iron. Oh, if a dirty tub with mold is an issue bring your own bath mat, and […] shower shoes. 3. Soap was not present, however, the previous guest's soap and wrapper was. 4. By 8:00am breakfast was done; well they ran out.The woman at the front desk was kind enough to give me directions to a cafe down the street a few block on a corner. As I was running down the sidewalk in the pouring rain in my wrinkled shirt I realized that the same woman who gave me directions to the cafe, had just minutes earlier told me where the hotel serves breakfast. Before I could say misinformed, I arrived at the cafe on the corner; CLOSED. Turns out, I ran by an old greasy spoon and didn't even notice (I'm still pretty speedy).

"a pleasant stay"
comfortable stay, convenient to downtown and airport, aging furnishingsGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Not bad in downtown Anchorage"
Let me just say that this hotel is going through a makeover. It has new owners and a great staff but there is work to be done and they are doing it. It is not the Ritz but is good if you are just looking for a place to put your things and sleep for the night. It is old and you can tell. The rooms are okay. The furniture and fixtures need updating. Overall […] not a bad place. If you are a guy and need a place to stay for awhile this is a good spot. If you are with your wife or girlfriend she may not like it. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"Beyond mediocre."
This hotel did not seem clean and the facilities were uncomfortable. Don't take the bait. Pay a little more.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Short Notice stay"
It is obvious that the staff is trying to get this new venture off the ground. The staff is very helpful but the facility is dated. Hopefully they will have the resources to do some remodeling soon.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Location is great for downtown."
For reasonable rates in the summer this is OK. Appeared to have new beds and sheets. Everything else in the room was clean but the carpet. I wore my flip flops all the time. If the carpets in the room, hallways and stairs were replaced along with the blankets this would make a big difference. They seem short of staff since the stairs and hallways were […] not picked up. Small trash items around. Staff was friendly but not very efficient with their time. Parking is limited. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"August 2013"
This hotel is old and it shows.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Great Downtown Location"
The service folks are great. The rugs and/or curtains need to be replaced since there is a musty smell throughout and the rugs themselves feel somewhat slimy. The bathroom is clean but the fixtures are falling apart. I am not sure I would want to stay in winter unless I could also keep the window open. The free espresso in the morning was a great touch […] though! Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Nice Downtown Hotel"
Staff was very helpful and courteousGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Still Needs Work"
Not horrible. Not good. Still needs money and renovation.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Run down"
This property is run down and in a state of neglect. When they don't replace burned out light bulbs its a sign that they are not paying attention.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"in walking distance to many sights"
Hotel room for the most part was clean, but carpet in the room and in the hall looked dirty and was very worn.the ice machine in the hall didn't work. their was not a Do Not Disturb Sign and the safe in the room did not work. called to lobby to have it fixed but no one came.The area of the hotel didn't feel real comfortable. I realize that the hotel […] is under new management since November but they need to do some additional work. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review

Release Date: July 24, 2007
WASHINGTON, DC — A U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) project is turning "stranded" natural gas at marginal, or low-production, oil fields into fuel for distributed electric power. The breakthrough is bringing previously idle oil fields back into production and could boost domestic oil production by some 28 million barrels per year within the next 10 years, helping to reduce the Nation's dependence on foreign oil sources.
Stranded gas is natural gas that is uneconomic to produce for one or more reasons: the energy, or Btu content, may be too low; the gas may be too impure to use; or, the volume may be too small to warrant a pipeline connection to the gas infrastructure. Non-commercial gas is sometimes produced along with oil, becoming an environmental liability. This unwanted byproduct of oil production has become a major problem in California oil fields where producers have been forced to abandon sites early, leaving valuable reserves of domestic oil untapped.
Typically, there are three ways to deal with stranded gas: venting or flaring the gas contributes to air pollution without any beneficial offsets from the gas; using electrical energy to re-inject the gas incurs significant extra costs; and, shutting down oil production leaves valuable oil in the ground.
Researchers have recently found another, useful, way to solve the stranded gas problem. A project managed by the Office of Fossil Energy's National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL) called the Oil Field Flare Gas Electricity Systems, or OFFGASES, project, is turning this waste gas into a valuable fuel for distributed generation power units at marginal well sites in California.
Oil production sites are heavy electricity consumers. According to the California Oil Producers Electric Cooperative, electricity accounts for 40 to 60 percent of the operating cost of oil production and delivery, and it represents one of the highest expenses in producing marginal oil wells. In California, equipment such as pump jacks are all run by electricity, and this power must be purchased from the utility grid. This figures heavily in deciding which sites remain economical to produce as oil production declines and which ones must be abandoned. By using microturbines to harness the stranded gas and generate low-cost electricity - usually at 20 to 40 percent of the costs of utility grid electricity - the Distributed Generation/OFFGASES project is increasing oil production in previously hopeless fields, making use of a fuel that was previously considered unusable and uneconomic to produce. In electrical terms, the equivalent of about 45 megawatts of potential electrical generation has been identified as stranded gas.
The project is conducting four field demonstrations with fuels of varying energy contents and quality. Three of the demonstrations have shown success so far:
The fourth demonstration deals with ultralow-Btu gas, which has as little as 15 Btu per standard cubic foot of gas. This gas is of such low quality that it's not immediately flammable and therefore cannot even be flared; operators have been spiking the weak gas with purchased commercial natural gas just to flare it. As part of the NETL-funded project, operators are now using FlexEnergy's Flex-Microturbine, a new technology that uses catalytic combustors and actually runs on 15 Btu gas. While the microturbine is working, improvements are still needed, and researchers are testing the equipment needed to turn this field into another success.
NETL demonstration partners include FlexEnergy, the Interstate Oil and Gas Compact Commission, California Oil Producers Electrical Cooperative, California Energy Commission, and California South Coast Air Quality Management District.
The project was awarded under DOE's Office of Fossil Energy's Preferred Upstream Management Practices program, which aims to slow the decline in America's oil production by pairing "best practices" and solutions from new technologies to an active campaign of disseminating information to domestic producers.

We were there for the whole day, using the restaurant and beach. Delicious homemade and fresh Aegean food. Definitely the best lemonade we ever had, made fresh by the owner with lemons from their trees. In fact, everything is fresh from their garden and it's marvellous. Owned by a family with two daughters, who are all working there. The beach... More

Debate: What Good Are Planetary Boundaries?
Bob Lalasz is director of science communications for The Nature Conservancy.
Does Earth have limits — limits to how far we can push its natural systems and deplete its resources, beyond which we will incur major blowback?
Almost every environmentalist would answer "yes" — and have pugnaciously strong opinions about what we should do (or stop doing) to avoid crossing them. But what does science tell us about those limits? Which are really science-based? Can innovation can stretch any of them? Are they useful for motivating policymaking and behavior change?
A world-class panel of scientists grappled with these questions last Thursday's during "The Limits of the Planet: A Debate" — the final forum in this year's "Nature and Our Future" discussion series, sponsored by The Nature Conservancy and held at The New York Academy of Sciences headquarters in lower Manhattan.
The major disagreements of the evening came over whether outlining global limits for the stable functioning of nature (as opposed to tipping points for individual ecosystems) is good science — and whether "limits" are the correct approach to achieving environmental goals. On this point, not everyone was in the Bill McKibben/350.org camp.
"The evidence is incontrovertible that there are local tipping points — for coral reefs, for instance– but not so for global ones," said Erle Ellis, a panelist and associate professor of geography and environmental systems at the University of Baltimore, Maryland County. "It's not a runaway train. Ecosystems change, but it's not a domino effect. You can change all the systems on the planet. But does that constitute a global tipping point?"
