For the second time in as many months, the recent adaptive restoration of Graves Hall is receiving recognition for excellence.
The project is being named the area's top historical-renovation project in the 2010 Construction Awards Program of the Western Michigan Chapter of Associated Builders and Contractors Inc., and will be honored during a banquet on Tuesday, Oct. 26, at the Pinnacle Center in Hudsonville. The program will present awards in several categories, such as historical renovation/remodeling, new construction, renovation and/or additions and green building.
On Saturday, Sept. 25, the Grand Valley American Institute of Architects (GVAIA) recognized the project in the Historic Preservation/Adaptive Reuse category of its 2010 Honor Awards program.
Dedicated in 1894, Graves Hall re-opened in August 2009 after a year-long, $5.7 million, adaptive restoration that emphasized a return to the building's original character while updating the 19th-century landmark for use in the 21st.
Construction manager for the project was Lakewood Construction Inc. of Holland. Architectural design was by Fishbeck, Thompson, Carr & Huber Inc. of Grand Rapids.
Graves was constructed as the college's chapel and library, but ceased serving as first one and then the other when Dimnent Memorial Chapel and Van Zoeren Library opened in 1929 and 1961 respectively. Renovations in 1962 and 1980 reconfigured the building for new use, but at the expense of much of its beauty.
In both updating and restoring the historic structure, the latest work has been informed by original blueprints as well as photographs and even living memory. Remade were the distinctive art-glass windows that were once a fixture in Winants Auditorium, a connection to the space's original use as Hope's chapel but removed in 1980 due to their deterioration. As when the building opened in 1894, the second floor features four large classrooms, the varnished wooden doors and wainscoting without suggesting the classic elegance of a bygone era. The main staircase, isolated behind metal doors in the 1962 redo, again greets visitors to the main lobby. As prior to the restoration, the ground floor of the building continues to house the Upward Bound and CASA programs, as well as the Schoon Meditation Chapel, all in improved space.
A major new addition - built of stone to match the rest of the building and facing the Pine Grove - includes an elevator that provides access for the first time to the top and ground floors for those with mobility impairments. Other features where the library stacks once stood include an additional classroom and the "Presidents' Room" conference room featuring portraits of all of Hope's presidents. Additional amenities undreamed-of when the structure was built include wireless Internet service and wiring throughout for access to the complete array of technologies that exist in support of education and air conditioning.
Associated Builders and Contractors is a national association representing more than 24,000 merit shop construction and construction-related firms in 78 chapters across the United States. There are four chapters in Michigan: the Western Michigan Chapter, based in Grand Rapids; the Central Michigan Chapter, based in Lansing; the Saginaw Valley Chapter, based in Midland; and the Southeastern Michigan Chapter, based in Madison Heights.

Here is something many of us seem to run into now and then, and it can be a total mystery as to what is going wrong (Just happened to me not 10 minutes ago).
While working on a project, suddenly you get errors for Right(), and usually the Mid() function as well. They have been working the entire time, but now vb simply "forgot" what they are! One thing that many have found is to use VBA.Right(), but you know this shouldn't be necessary. After all, it was working fine.
So, a few minutes ago, it started doing this to one of my projects. I have two projects grouped together. The odd thing is, vb recognized the Right() function in one of the projects, but not the other! I checked the references, and found that vb had a reference to a "missing" project! It would not let me remove it, saying it was in use, even though nothing from this third project was actually being used, and it did not show up anyplace else. How could a project which does not even exist be in use anyway? Another m$ "feature" I guess...(they think of everything, don't they). Also, there were no errors while loading the project, which you would think it would give, especially when vb really likes doing that to us.
Now for the solution. I opened the vbp file for the project which had the trouble (not the vbg file), and removed the line referencing the mystery project. Tada! Works perfect! (for now).
Maybe this will be of some help to others...

STANFORD (AP) — No quarterback in the country has had to manage expectations the way Josh Nunes has had to this season succeeding the NFL's No. 1 overall pick.
In the last three weeks alone, the redshirt junior quarterback outplayed Heisman Trophy hopeful Matt Barkley to upset Southern California, shouldered the blame of a stunning loss at Washington and rallied No. 17 Stanford (4-1, 2-1 Pac-12) from a two-touchdown deficit for a thrilling 54-48 overtime win against Arizona that quieted questions about Andrew Luck's successor
"It's not that we learned," Cardinal coach David Shaw said. "It's maybe that other people learned he's a tough kid. He bounces back, he doesn't listen to the noise. He's steady."
Nobody said filling Andrew Luck's shoes would be easy.
Fair or not, Stanford's streakiness this season has been tied directly to its new quarterback. Both are still somewhat of an unknown heading to seventh-ranked Notre Dame (5-0) on Saturday, with the exception of one undeniable fact.
As Nunes has gone so far, so has Stanford.
Nunes overcame a pair of first-half interceptions to throw for 215 yards and two touchdowns in a 21-14 win against USC, including a 37-yard strike to tight end Zach Ertz for the winning score, vaulting the Cardinal to as high as No. 8 in The Associated Press college football poll.
He followed that by completing 18 of 37 passes for 170 yards and an interception in Stanford's 17-13 loss at Washington, often underthrowing receivers on short routes or misfiring completely. The offense converted 5 of 18 third downs, never scored a touchdown and looked lost for the first time since Luck left.
Fans and media began to criticize Nunes enough for Shaw to open his weekly news conference defending his quarterback. Nunes rewarded his coach's loyalty with his best performance yet, throwing for 360 yards and two touchdowns and running for 33 yards and three more scores against Arizona on Saturday.
"I definitely have confidence now," Nunes said. "The guys up front did what they needed to do as well as the guys downfield. I definitely used last week (at Washington) as a stepping stone forward and learned a lot of things to work on. I feel like I did a better job this week, but there are a lot more things we need to correct."
Notably, consistency.
Coaches and teammates have insisted that, more than anything, Nunes needs time and experience to adjust to the starter's role. After all, he went almost four years since his last start at Upland High School in the Los Angeles area until beating out Brett Nottingham and Kevin Hogan this season.
Nunes has shown flashes of Luck-like ability to in big moments.
He scrambled for a pair of key first downs against the Trojans. On the final drive of regulation against Arizona, he ran for 16 yards on third-and-7 from midfield, threw 17 yards to Ertz on fourth-and-9 from Arizona's 20 and ran for the tying touchdown on a read option with 45 seconds remaining.
"If you told me a year ago that we'd call multiple run plays for Josh Nunes, I'd laugh at you," Shaw said. "The bottom line is he's a tough kid. He's not afraid of it. He doesn't back down from challenges."
The road ahead will not ease up any.
While Stanford has beaten Notre Dame by at least two touchdowns the last three seasons, this appears to be a more a difficult trip to South Bend. Not to mention matchups at No. 2 Oregon and a home date against No. 10 Oregon State later this season.
The Fighting Irish improved to 5-0 for the first time since 2002 with a 41-3 romp over Miami on Saturday. Notre Dame's 587 yards of offense was a season high, and its 376 yards rushing was its most since Nov. 11, 2000.
Asked if Nunes' turnaround performance against the Wildcats will do enough to quiet critics before Notre Dame, Shaw shook his head and smiled.
"Probably not," he said. "And once again, I don't care. He doesn't care. We're a team. We're tight in our locker room. We support him through everything, and he understands that. We hold him accountability for what his job is. But at the same time, we know he's more than capable. And I think he showed that."

2011 - Earth's 7 billionth resident was born into a world of contradiction and change. There could be enough for all, yet a billion people remain hungry. Around the world protestors fought for freedom and better opportunities. From conflict in Libya to nuclear disaster in Japan and famine at the Horn of Africa - the UN provided relief and solutions. UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon declared sustainable development and lifting people out of poverty the main goals of his second term in office.

Afghan Opium Survey for 2011 (UNODC)
The price of opium in Afghanistan rose dramatically last year, according to a joint survey by the United Nations and the Government that was released on 12 January, which also shows that the farm-gate income from the narcotic probably amounted to over $1.4 billion, equivalent to nine per cent of the gross domestic product (GDP). The 2011 Afghan Opium Survey, carried out by the UN Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) and the Ministry of Counter Narcotics, reveals a 133 per cent increase in the farm-gate value of opium compared with the previous year.
Case Study on Youth Participatory Research on Education Quality in Central and Eastern Europe and the Commonwealth of Independent States - Innovative Practices, Lessons Learned and Recommendations (UNICEF)
Young people often report that they are not given the opportunity to participate in processes that affect their lives; or when they are, they often feel their participation is not meaningful enough. A new case study on youth participatory research supported by UNICEF's Education in Emergencies and Post-Crisis Transition (EEPCT) programme, or Back on Track, looks at the methodology and processes used in 'A Study of Adolescent and Youth Perspectives on Education Quality in the Central and Eastern Europe and the Commonwealth of Independent States (CEE/CIS) Region' (henceforth referred to as 'Adolescent and Youth Perspectives Research').
Drinking Water: Equity, Safety and Sustainability (UNICEF / WHO)
UNICEF and the World Health Organization released a report on 20 December showing that the Millennium Development Goal of improving access to safe drinking water will likely be achieved considerably ahead of the 2015 target date. The report says between 1990 and 2008, the proportion of the world's population with access to improved drinking water sources increased from 77 per cent to 87 per cent. That means the world will soon meet the MDG target to halve the proportion of people without sustainable access to safe drinking water.
Economic Role of Cities (UN-HABITAT)
The report examines the economic role of cities. It illustrates the important contributions of cities to national economic development and poverty reduction. It looks at the agglomeration economies, city clusters, city regions and mega city regions.
Prevent, Combat, Protect: Human Trafficking; Joint UN Commentary on the EU Directive – A Human Rights-Based Approach
At a time when the Member States are embarking on the transposition of the Directive into national legislation, this joint UN Commentary by UNHCR, OHCHR, UNICEF, UNODC, ILO and UN Women on the Directive is meant to support these efforts, by providing practical guidance on the application of a human rights-based approach to the transposition and implementation of the EU instrument. The commentary on selected provisions of the Directive is complemented by boxes with the relevant international standards and examples of good practice. It also provides a series of concrete recommendation for the transposition and implementation of the Directive.
Reference Guide: Normative developments on the coordination of humanitarian assistance in the General Assembly and the Economic and Social Council since the adoption of General Assembly resolution 46/182; 2nd Edition (20th anniversary of General Assembly resolution 46/182)
Twenty years ago General Assembly resolution 46/182 provided the framework for emergency relief. Since 1991, significant challenges have emerged from the changing environment in which assistance has been provided. These challenges are evident in a number of areas, such as those related to internal displacement, gender, access, protection, safety and security of humanitarian personnel, humanitarian civil-military relation, global challenges and vulnerability, among others. This updated Reference Guide is intended to provide a concise overview of the normative evolution of key policy decisions of the General Assembly and the Economic and Social Council pertaining to humanitarian affairs as seen through humanitarian resolutions since 1991.

Startup Tarsier promises a touchscreen floating in the air
- 02 October, 2012 04:07
While consumers go crazy for touchscreens on their smartphones and tablets, Minnesota startup Tarsier is working on what it calls the interface for the next 30 years: a touchscreen you don't have to touch.
Tarsier's MoveEye technology lets users reach out and manipulate icons, windows or images on a screen as if they're floating in the air, according to co-founder Shafa Wala. The company is looking toward TVs as a natural place to implement MoveEye, because users normally look at TVs from several feet away. The company will demonstrate some of the MoveEye technology at the Demo Fall conference this week in Santa Clara, California.
Despite years of promises of interactive TV, the systems that have hit the market, such as Google TV and Microsoft's earlier WebTV, have never gained much traction.
"Today, we don't really have a way to interact with our TVs from a distance," Wala said. "The remote control, the mouse, and the keyboard are really not the ideal input devices for interacting with TVs."
In place of those familiar PC tools, MoveEye uses a special pair of glasses, a "media box" to run the interface, and software. The glasses have a built-in stereoscopic pair of cameras pointed at the screen, sensors to detect the viewer's eye movements, and Wi-Fi to talk to the media box. Together, these give the illusion of viewing and touching the interface in thin air.
"You just point at what you want to interact with, or you just grab something that's projecting out of the screen," Wala said.
The first version of MoveEye will be two-dimensional, with the user manipulating objects on a plane suspended in space. Later, Tarsier will add 3D capability so users can feel as if they're reaching into an interface that has more than one layer.
Using gestures to control something on a screen is not new. Both Nintendo's Wii and Microsoft's Kinect let users play games and carry out other tasks with movements and gestures. But MoveEye can better read hand gestures as well as where those gestures are directed, Wala said. That precision is necessary for the full range of actions on a computer, such as grabbing a small object, he said.
MoveEye achieves this by viewing the screen from the user's perspective. While the Wii system follows a controller in the user's hand and Kinect faces the user and watches body movements, MoveEye captures the user's own perspective through the stereoscopic camera in its glasses. That, and the eye-tracking sensors, help to tell the system precisely where each element on the screen appears from the user's perspective, Wala said. Algorithms and software developed by Tarsier do the rest.
Though games on big-screen TVs are one obvious use for MoveEye, Tarsier has higher ambitions as well. A 3D MoveEye interface could be used for military applications such as combat simulations and controlling bomb-defusing robots, Wala said. In medicine, it could allow doctors to virtually reach inside 3D MRI scans, he said.
At Demo, Tarsier will show MoveEye working with a wired version of the glasses and controlling a customized OS based on the Boxee freeware platform. But for its eventual product, the company may use a derivative of Android and allow selected Android apps and games to work with MoveEye, Wala said. Whatever platform it uses, Tarsier believes it can offer interface innovations that make computing easier than ever.
Wala, who studied mechanical engineering and computer science at North Dakota State University and the University of Minnesota, founded Tarsier in 2010 with Axel Chevaillier, whose background is in aeronautical engineering. They brought their ideas to professor Nikolaos Papanikolopoulos of the University of Minnesota, who is helping with the project.
The company has a fairly detailed roadmap for commercializing MoveEye. It tentatively plans to put the 2D system on the market in November 2014 for about US$300. The 3D system would come out the following year.

Follow the Herd:
Listen to the Game Live: CLICK HERE!
Bisons Baseball Network: CLICK HERE!
Email the Broadcast Team: CLICK HERE!
Everything about the Herd: CLICK HERE!
Get to a Bisons Game: CLICK HERE!
TODAY'S GAME: Tonight, the Buffalo Bisons face the Rochester Red Wings in the second game of a three-game set at Frontier Field (7:05 p.m.). The Herd struck first in the series with last night's 8-7 victory. The Bisons have gone 3-4 so far on their season-long nine-game roadtrip that has already stopped at Scranton/Wilkes-Barre and Pawtucket. On Tuesday, the Bisons return to Buffalo for their final four home games of the season.
vs. THE WINGS: The Bisons are 5-7 against their closest rivals so far this season. That record does include an even 3-3 mark at Frontier Field. The Herd has not won a series against Rochester in 2009, earning just one split of a four-game set at Frontier Field, July 4-6. Dating back to last season, the Bisons are just 6-16 in their last 22 games against the Red Wings.
ROSTER MOVE: RHP Jose Sanchez will make his Triple-A debut tonight after his promotion from St. Lucie (A) today. Sanchez began the year at Binghamton (AA), where he was 1-6 with a 6.88ERA in 10 starts. The 25-year old has made 66 career appearances at the Double-A level in the past three seasons, all with the B-Mets. Sanchez was 13-7 with a 3.83ERA in 29 games and 26 starts with Binghamton in 2008.
MOUND WORK: Bisons starting pitchers continued their strong stretch of work as LHP Adam Pettyjohn earned the win last night. In the team's last 11 games, the rotation has combined to post a 2.45ERA. Herd starters have allowed just 17 runs in 62.1 innings with 42 strikeouts to only 13 walks.
BALANCED ATTACK: The Bisons 8-7 victory last night included a hit by seven different hitters, a run scored by seven different players and an RBI from six different batters. C Robinson Cancel had three hits last night and has now hit .455 (10-22) in seven games against the Red Wings this season.
THE HIT-MAN: The International League hit competition continues to be a two-man race. Both OF Jesus Feliciano and Gwinnett's INF Barbaro Canizares got a hit last night. That means Canizares kept his one-hit lead, 140-139. Feliciano's hit extended his hit streak to eight as he has averaged .406 (13-32) since August 21.

Golden Words
Posted by Chic Aeon in design, hair, iheartslFeed, new releases, sneak peak on Saturday, August 31, 2013
This post features two of my long time favorite designers and I do mean long time. I have shown you my early posts from BAIASTICE a time or too, so let's move on to LARK.
Now I featured Sienia Trevellion way back in her wilder grungy days over four years ago. If memory serves she told me that was either the first post about her shop or one of the first. (Happily I have made some progress in my photo skills since that time :D).
There are new books coming. Very fun and creative books.
The Arcade gatcha festival starting the first.
There are a variety of library shelves with curtains and some really super books. They have a sort of fantasy feel for me -- knights and castles and witches brooms; that may just be my Windlight setting and my imagination.
Who knows?
My outfit is the new release from BAIASTICE for FaMESHed. The top and skirt are separates and come in a myriad of colors; mix or match to your heart's content.
The minute I put the top on I was in love. Classy and feminine, it fits me perfectly. The ties in the back are lovely and realistic looking. And happily it is made with "B" cup gals in mind. OK, I may actually be an "A" but I have cleavage shadows after all. It looks really good.
This is absolutely beautiful so be sure and try on a demo when the event opens and the crowds clear a bit.
My new hair is SERENDIPITY, a great name, from Vanity Hair. The rigged mesh style (very long and full in the back) comes in three sizes. I am wearing small. I happily played with the new color huds which is SO MUCH NICER than guessing at the colors -- and easier on your inventory count to boot. Oh yes!
My bracelet is from Eclectica; always lovely.

Teenage Memories
Posted by Chic Aeon in design, iheartslFeed, new releases, sneak peak on Friday, August 30, 2013
The theme for this month's challenge is "Teenage Years" and that is indeed the theme of this post. But before we get there I want to mention some other items of note.
I have had this Talulah belt from EMO-tions for some time now. I loved it from the beginning but no new outfits appeared for a pairing. So yesterday I decided to give it an outfit of its own. I am very comfy in what I am thinking of as my Teenage Years outfit, AND it is quite appropriate really. I so wanted a belt like this back then. My Kimberley hair is also from EMO-tions. Outfit from 1Hundred.
Behind me are two of the three dimensional posters from Sways for The Arcade. There are all sorts of themes in the big gatcha collection and they resize easily; great additions to many room styles. Now for the reader who tracked me down looking for an landmark to The Arcade, here it is. Remember it ISN'T OPEN YET!!! And it will be close to impossible to get into and very gray when it does. Patience my darlings, the items will still be there when the hoards fade.
Now I haven't opened all the Teenage Years packages yet. Some designers are burning the midnight oil; the event does open at MIDNIGHT tonight in each of the participating store locations. Here is the website where you will be able to see all the creations (soon). I won't be showing you everything so you will want to check that listing for more info.
One of my favorite pieces so far is this bunkbed set from [hate this]. It comes with one of those kneeling chairs. Both chair and bunks are packed with poses including ones for couples (PG of course) AND there is an extensive menu to change colors and patterns of the fabric and woods.
The woodwork is especially lovely on this set and the land impact very good, so if you have a kid in the house or even want to relive some memories, venture over and have a look.
You can also see this set up in the BRIGHT blue cottage on the ground level at LEA7.
Some handmade magazines are offered from ChiC buildings. Purchase singles, collections of four or the fatpack at a discount. I should mention that most merchants have their items on discount for the first week, and some for the whole month.
The lava lamp is a textured SAMPLE from Naked Mesh, a full perm mesh store. If you have some building skills you can add your own textures to the base mesh. Four lava textures are included in the pack (this one has more colors than my photo shows) and the lava MOVES inside the glass so it is quite realistic. There are teeny tiny legs and I think the land impact is one. Remember folks there are user licenses that goes along with any full perm builders tools, you can't just pass things around. ALSO, my info card noted that you CAN purchase the textured models if you IM the designer (Charles Hera). The textured items will not be for sale at the store in order to cut down on confusion.
Another part of the set from Naked Mesh are these posters. The textured posters use creative commons graphics so you can feel guilt free hanging OR just add your own photos or posters. Most anyone can slap on a texture *wink*. The tiny push pins can be colored as you like using the select face option in the build menu. And that is my building lesson for the day.
Stay tuned for more great items from The Challenge and get ready to revisit your younger years.

Just One Shot Maenad at Tempura Island
Posted by Chic Aeon in iheartslFeed, new releases on Thursday, August 29, 2013
It has probably been two years or maybe three since I had been to Tempura Island. I remembered it in shades of gold and orange and my memories had not faded. On several lists in this weeks meme, it is exactly as I had remembered it. Like Babbage, time seems to stand still here. And perhaps that is not a bad thing.
My dress is one of many versions in a pack from deviousMind. A version that came into being during the making of her limited edition item for The 24. While similar, this one seems to be more suiting for me somehow -- a bit of fantasy like a forest princess. There are many choices including some long flowing golden skirts. Me? I like the leaves just fine.
This is from the Gold-Canary pack. Other colors are available. Find them for sure at The 24 (follow your beam). They may also be in the main shop.

New fashion releases from Ducknipple incude these leather pants and cropped tank. Kneepads change color by hud and the top has a huge variety of hues. Look for the Loes Tanktop and the Padded Pants.
My friend Sami has returned after a long SL absence. It is great to have her back. She has had a hard time getting her "look" back as she left during the new days of mesh. I have had other friends tell me how difficult finding mesh clothes can be for them. I feel very lucky that most things fit me naturally or with a tiny bit of tweaking. After two days of shopping she finally came away with an outfit mixed of new and older. The big find she made that I want to tell you about are her new jeans. While she was very willing to pay, nothing was fitting -- until she found these gift jeans on the Marketplace. So that's my tip of the day.
On the horizon we have The Arcade opening soon. {what next} has the cutest golf carts. You play for a hud that let's you rez the carts. There are three places to sit WITH adjustments (woot). While I am NOT a good driver, I seem to be able to handle this little guy very well -- at least up on my building pad. You may still need to watch out for me on the streets. There are tons of options in the menu including the ability to set this to group so your friends and alts can use the car once rezzed. With lots of fun colors (there is one that I just have to show you soon -- need corresponding clothes), this is one of the rare ones, camo.
I plan to leave a couple rezzed for props at MOSP. You can visit this one up in the full sim city here. While cars can now be "primmy" and still drive (it is apparently the physics LI that is important), this darling weighs in at only 24. Even if you don't drive often, this makes a great prop.

Sugar and Spice and Everything Nice
Posted by Chic Aeon in design, iheartslFeed, new releases, sneak peak on Tuesday, August 27, 2013
We will be turning a page on the calendar soon. That means lots of new venues opening. More shopping, more adventure, more decorating. The Arcade's gatcha machines will be fill anew and ESPECIALLY if you are a girlie girl, you will be thrilled with the goodness from Second Spaces.
Now I can't recall actually being a very crafty gal. I was very "neat", hated finger painting and spent lots of time carefully drawing inside the lines of my coloring books. But even if you don't have fond memories of ink and ribbons, glue and glitter -- you can't help but marvel at the details in these sets.
And they ARE sets. Each photo is a linked mesh that weighs in at one (oh my!).
I am not a gatcha gal at heart. For me the perfect gamble is one where you can't loose. And really all these pieces are worth going after.
Now I have to be honest and say that these were difficult to photograph. Lots of details to pack into shots. If you are like me and like to see what you are buying, then please do come by and see these in person. There is nothing better than up close and personal.
Favorite Places Meme
Posted by Chic Aeon in comment, iheartslFeed, places
This week's Monday Meme (a little late and many of us may have been panicking) is about sharing our favorite places. Now I had been to all of Berry's spots and it is certainly possible that you have been to all of mine. I did attempt to pick different areas though. No point in repetition. Up at the top of my list is The Looking Glass. (The Mother Road would have won but apparently seems to be gone. If you know where it might be lurking, please give me a shout.)
Timeless and always photogenic it is a perfect photo spot for many genres from burlesque to Gothic.
Next up is Babbage which is timeless in another way :D. It is about in the same state as when I first visited many years ago. But, if you get your Windlight just right, it is still quite magical. A free to rez zone, it is a great place for showing off Steampunk memorabilia.
Now to be fair, I hadn't visited the Arabian Market in a long while, but it never fails to take me to an exotic place. Almost magical in that regard, its narrow streets speak of other times and places.
Last up is Peaceful Valley at MOSP. This was my home on the Bayou for many months. The Bayou is still around but much smaller, it has changed hands and doesn't feel like home any longer. This, for me is a reminder of those happy days. It is larger and fancier than its predecessor, but the memories still remain. I don't hang out here of course as I do like my privacy. But I visit often.
Keeping It Simple
Posted by Chic Aeon in iheartslFeed, new releases on Monday, August 26, 2013
It is going to be a simple post this morning. I am struggling with getting my system back to normal after I got a " your graphics settings have been reset because of a change in the rendering system" message. Getting them to STICK doesn't seem to be easy and in order to get this shot with everything seemingly set back to normal I had to take a 4000 pixel photo WITH DOF on -- not my norm -- and then retouch. So whatever is going on with the rendering system, I am not terribly happy *wink*.
Slightly later note: I see a few examples of my problem (sort of an anti-aliased black line between avatar and background) on the feeds from yesterday so apparently I am not alone. Check your settings folks. Mine were turned way, WAY down. Uncalled for.
I AM happy that Ducknipple has some new duds out. This is the Corrie Dress with color change hud. You get the full dress as well as just the corset and skirt should you want to wear different tops or in case you are a VERY brave pasties gal.
And yep, this is the RARE black latex snake from the deviousMind gatcha at The 24 event. See previous post for more details.

Almost a Day Off
Posted by Chic Aeon in comment, hunts, iheartslFeed on Sunday, August 25, 2013
It's heading towards noon and I really am taking a day "off". Well almost. I went to the feeds and saw this post which peeked my interest. Thoroughly enjoying it, I made a long comment, then decided that it might be something that both hunters and merchants -- as well as some hunt organizers needed to think about.
And in Deoridhe's post, she "may" have answered the question of how I got banned from two sims long long ago. Always nice to have answers *wink*.
So here is my comment on her musings:
Hey there. Taking the day off (oh my) but saw your post and actually read it all. I admit I am
unusually a pics and links gal -- only so much time.
Just wanted to say that I completely agree and if you toss my rainbow house you can do it with absolutely no feeling of guilt. When Chandra told me what she wanted -- well, it was a stretch for neutralesce me. Still, that hunt (no names, not try[ing] to plug) has been the best one that I have been in maybe forever. Since the general caliber of the gifts is higher than the norm these days, I think a different set of folks are hunting. Amazingly, they are also BUYING -- something that most merchants don't associate with hunts these days.
So maybe -- this is a good lesson to lots of folks. Maybe small and "elite" is the way to go not two hundred stops or trudging through a whole hunt to get your prizes.
And now that I've been so eloquent I think I am going to post this on my blog, day off or not and link to your post as I really enjoyed it.
Hitting the Target
Posted by Chic Aeon in design, iheartslFeed, new releases, poses, props
A new pose prop (PRETENSE POSES AREA 51 SHADOW BOX) is being introduced today, part of the Poser Pavilion, a Liaison Collaborative event. The box was created in a collaborative project between Cajsa Lilliehook and Gidge Uriza, two well-known and slightly "antique" bloggers. I mean that in the NICEST way of course. Good to see folks sticking around!
Cajsa is the architect of the box; Gidge is the creator of the poses.
The box uses projected lighting to cast shadows on the wall, but even if you can't use shadows, there are still some great poses from funny to fashion included in the mix -- eleven in all.
My outfit is fully chronicled here, except of course for the new addition of the snake from deviousMind, available at Chandra's gatcha machine at The 24 event.
Here is my little buddy -- up close and personal. There are five colorful patterns to win as well as solid black which will probably come in handy in the future. Today I was feeling "dangerous" :D.
And here is a long shot of the box. Lots and lots of possibilities. These photos were NOT taken with a materials viewer by the way, just plain old vanilla Firestorm.
The 24 Event: Fashion and Home
Posted by Chic Aeon in design, iheartslFeed, new releases, poses, skins on Saturday, August 24, 2013
It takes awhile to visit each of the 24 shops in 4 areas of The 24 event. Today's post is brought to you by Womensware (pink) and Home (green).
My outfit is Frida from Faster Pussycat; my skin from Modish, both limited release items. Now I am going to be honest with you -- I was not too sure about this look when I started putting it together. This isn't exactly a style I venture into often. But you know what? It really has grown on me! I feel sort of brave and timeless. My Naomi hair from EMO-tions sort of pulls it all together. I also have on EMO-tions boots.
This is the: Cheeky Pea: Francesca Window Nook, also a limited edition item. And if you are good little thoughtful readers I bet you are wondering what about "all" the blogger copies that went out -- how limited edition is that? Well, guess what? Those were very limited also. So your "limited edition status" is really pretty safe.
This brand new original mesh set includes many lovely details. I especially like the curtain which has a tiny little pull tassles that look very, very real. There are two versions in the set, PG and Adult. For those of you that are Photoshop gurus, there are ambient maps that let you add your own textures (with shadows) to the various parts like pillows.
Best of all (well for me anyway) there are a whole lot of NEW animations included. I really didn't have time to try them all out, but the ones I saw looked great.
So hop on over to The 24 and have some fun. There are fashion shows going on daily which have been very well attended so arrive early and turn down your draw distance. Plain dressing of course will be appreciated by your fellow shoppers.

Now I haven't had time to look at the feeds today but I am guessing that this Fifty Linden Friday dress from Miel is all the news. It is indeed a great week for FLF, so if you are in need of newness, get out your sneakers and make your way through the stores. I did in the very early hours and it was crowded even then.
I am busy modeling (yes really -- my, my) so a friend let me take her photo. The dress fits her perfectly (demos are of course in evidence). The back has a really low dip with cute ties. And best of all ---- TWELVE colors via hud.
The 24 event.
It comes with poses for both singles and couples and has a hud that let's you change colors on poofs individually should you have several out.
There is a big variety of color choices including lots of bright hues. You can see them all in the shop at the event.
I of course picked the neutral color as it coordinated so nicely with the decor. The hud is a little tricky so read those instructions.
Go shop!
The 24 Event: Romance
Posted by Chic Aeon in design, iheartslFeed, new releases, sneak peak
Romance. If you have a couple of X chromosomes, it is pretty much guaranteed that you can never get enough. Well, I can think of a time or two when there was more than needed -- but a time or two hardly counts when we are talking about decades.
As I was taking these shots I couldn't help but think about the old time movies that I used to watch with my great grandmother. Always a handsome and well-dressed lead. Always a beautiful (sometimes coy -- sometimes vixen) heroine. In fact, I was so enamored with the setting and the exceptionally nice animations that I pulled out my movie camera and filmed a bit.
My dress is the Nicola limited release from Gizza Creations. It qualifies as timeless in my book. A full and very flowing long skirt is perfect for dancing.
The bridge fountain from Atelier Visconti comes with some amazing animations. The beautifully flowing water offers an extra touch of realism. It weighs in at 21 land impact at the default size (shown here).
So get on your shopping shoes -- or feet if you are a barefoot kinda adventurer and head on over to The 24 event. Here are your SLURLs. Well honestly, they are all the same one. It's a choose your path venue. Click your choice though -- just for fun.

The 24 Event : The Pink Zone
Posted by Chic Aeon in iheartslFeed, sneak peak on Thursday, August 22, 2013
It will likely be crowded. You know the drill. Turn off shadows. Honestly you won't need them anyway. Limit your draw distance. (Again, the smart sim plan let's you do this without losing any of the glamor).
And OF COURSE I'll be showing you some of the available items very soon.

Summer's Sunset
Posted by Chic Aeon in design, freebies, hair, iheartslFeed, new releases
We are nearing summer's end in my corner of the corporeal world. Warm days are still in evidence but you can feel the hint of Fall in the breeze. Autumn is my favorite season so I don't mind too much that the days will be getting shorter.
Sway's is happily open again with three new releases and a gift for visitors.
Newness includes this mesh dock with various version of land impact thriftiness.
And if you have a dock, you need a way to get to and fro -- of course you do. This wooden boardwalk set comes with a big variety of shapes to let you build the path you need. I made a game of it using all the different pieces, then adding a few more. I had to backtrack a bit as logic escaped me at the start. Naturally I should have started at the HOUSE, not the dock which is easily movable.
There is also a tiny beach hut suitable for swimwear changing or just a quiet respite.
This cute and homey picture gallery is the opening gift.
Add your own photos to customize and make it a memorabilia piece.
My hair is once again Estra, a new release from Amacci.
Clothes are very old and no longer available, but I DID change for ya.

Welcome Wagon
Posted by Chic Aeon in design, hunts, iheartslFeed, new releases on Wednesday, August 21, 2013
On a happier note, there are lots of new hunts (good ones, yeah) on the grid at the moment. I went on the Atooly Colors of Summer hunt this morning. It is a short one with photos on the blog of some prizes as well as SLURLs. All good. While I didn't get every prize, I found some nice things. My friend went along and she is happily wearing new duds from Adoness #17.
There are SLIDING doors that swoosh gently and dark toned wood trim. Accent doors are orange as is the front.
This is a large house and could certainly be a home for anyone with lots of possessions -- especially those that like to entertain.
There is an atrium in the middle of the home that leads to other rooms. This is definitely a house for those in San Diego and similar climates.
It would be a very nice office space with each worker having their own space but being able to see what's going on in the building -- and greet customers when needed.
It would be a great building for those that want to share a dwelling. Each room feels like personal space without the cramped space vibe.
There is a fireplace in the largest room in the back of the house and doors to a roomy exterior patio.
The chair, step table and flowers in rusty pot are newish releases from StoraxTree. You can find the chair and the three step shelf at the Cosmopolitan Sales Room. The teapot with flowers is at the Outlet Sales Room Event.

A Note To A Fledgling Blogger
Posted by Chic Aeon in comment
I answered a post on the forums this eve. It was from a brand new blogger asking about sponsorship, free stuff, early access, blogging events and the like. I thought it might be helpful to a few folks out there that are thinking of joining the ever-growing ranks of Those That Blog.
Here is what I wrote:
Five plus years and well over 3500 posts, I may have some insights *wink*.
First of all there is often a difference between "early access" and "official blogger". Early access gets you into a venue before the crowds descend (like Hair Fair).
"Official blogger" MAY or MAY NOT have strings attached. Sometimes samples, hunt prizes and the like are put into the group pool (there is most often a group involved). Sometimes there is a list of "approved bloggers" that designers can -- if they choose -- send items too. There is no guarantee they will send and there is often no guarantee that the bloggers will blog.
There are actually very few venues that have chain-like strings and criteria. These should be noted on the blog sign up sheet or in the notecard you received. If they expect you to blog everything? Well that doesn't work for me, but starting out it might be OK for you. You are the one that has to decide.
Ask questions.
I am not really sure what your mention of "sponsor" covers. Normally those are people who put ads on the sides of some blogs (Blogger doesn't let you do that and I hate ads so wouldn't do it anyway). Maybe you mean you have been asked to be in a blogger group?
Whatever -- the important thing, now and forever in my mind, is to make sure you LIKE what you are blogging and respect the designers, their work ethic and their customer service record. You are connecting yourself with them after all.
It takes awhile to climb your way up the blogger mountain. It is a long journey, hopefully fun and if you are lucky filled with little dra-ma. Eventually if you do a good job, keep your reputation clean and earn the respect of the blogging community and the designers -- you get to blog for some of the best. It won't happen over night.
If you are in doubt about a designer who has asked you to blog for them, get some demos and CERTAINLY visit the shop. Don't start blogging for someone just because they asked - LOL. I know it might be tempting, but it could hurt you in the long run.
Good blogging is not about the "free stuff". It is about doing your part in the giant wheel of fashion and design. Bloggers ARE important, but how important depends on skill, commitment, attention to detail and -- morals.
Go forth. Learn. Grow, Enjoy.
That was good for me to write on many levels and hopefully helped her a bit.
And on a personal note -- now and then even those most savvy of us can get sucked into something we later regret. That happened to me this last month. I can't go back. Deleting a post is immaterial since you all read it long long ago. What I can do is not make that same mistake again. Giving someone a second chance is a good thing -- one that often comes with a hard set of lessons.
Thanks to all the designers I "blog for". I do indeed respect your work and work ethics or you would not be in that sidebar *wink*.
Getting Girlie
Posted by Chic Aeon in design, hair, iheartslFeed, new releases on Tuesday, August 20, 2013
Lots and lots of newness in just one shot. Here's the scoop.
Very cute new hair from Amacci, Thea has a neat little low ponytail in back. It is gently whispy and very "real" looking. We like real looking! I went with the Graphite color as a thematic counterpoint to my schoolgirl outfit from PARADISIS. Top, skirt, socks, panties and gloves (not shown) are all in one very special priced set. Look for Marie.
My Ducknipple Seabird Wedges are color change by hud (well of course they are) and perfect for running from all the boys.
The chair in the background is one of four Trompe Loeil grayscale releases for The Neighborhood. Apparently (I did some research) these have already come and gone with me not finding them until Sunday, alas. Note to self to find and sign up for The Neighborhood subscribo.
Later note: Lots of looking and visits to shops that participate in "The Neighborhood" have still left me sans info. If anyone knows the webpage or where a subscribo is actually located *wink*, please IM me or leave a note on this post. Thanks.
Later note: a reader sent me an IM with the group to join for anyone interested.

Come As You Are
Posted by Chic Aeon in comment, hair, hunts, iheartslFeed, new releases
I decide to challenge myself to a post "as I was". The windlight was dark and sharp (my alt had been over on the Realms and this is good crystal hunting light *wink*). There wasn't much that was photogenic around and derendering once again saved the day.
My outfit is a very pretty one from {MV} on a hunt. Now I think it was the Atooly Hunt, but since I have taken part in three in the last couple of days, I'm not making a promise on that. I have a similar dress as another {MV} gift, but I prefer this color.
Amacci has some new hairs out. I actually wrote about the more casual style first, but as scheduling goes you will see that post later in the day.
This Estra updo comes with OPTIONAL color change flowers.
While I thought it was very pretty on opening, I had no idea what I would wear it with -- then, what do you know? A perfect pairing arrived.
There are many lovely orchid colors to choose from -- and who doesn't love orchids!
While I was at the tower and sandbox, I took a quick scan at the learning facility. I remember my struggle to understand building methods in my first months here. I am glad the schools will be getting tier reductions again (although it seems that some were all along in a "quiet" way :D). Hopefully some new schools will pop up for the folks wanting to learn to build.
And you know WHAT? This is really hard to believe -- and I am marking this as a newly discovered secret in case Berry ever asks that, but until about a week ago I was not using the red, green and blue grab bars to stretch. Only the white ones were viable in my building world. I know; it seems quite insane.
I was so structured into my learned skill-set of plopping those numbers into the boxes, I just DIDN'T. Now I am building with prims so much faster. So we learn as we go along, one day at a time.
Which makes a nice segue into a recent film I made which actually won the Centenary award at UWA. It is about learning over time, structure, changing paths. Find it here if you are a film buff. And for the person that sent me those crayons *wink*, here is another big "Thank you!". Drawing Outside the Lines --

Cafe 51
Posted by Chic Aeon in design, iheartslFeed, new releases, places on Monday, August 19, 2013
Still in my Ducknipple cherry wrap from yesterday I present Cafe 51. Not yet completed but tons of fun to make, a New Mexico diner filled with paintings and UFO memorabilia. Plus a super cool retro jukebox. Here's the scoop.
The Standby Inc. retro jukebox hales from -- well you guessed it, the TLC Area 51 themed event. Several styles to choose from it is no copy item (something I actually missed with the vendor photos but will live with keeping fingers crossed) and amazingly detailed. Truly beautiful mesh. It has a built in list of stations and I believe a list of alternatives (I did save those). Happily, it also let's you choose "none" from the menu as having music playing when trying to film at MOSP would not be a good thing *wink*. I am very thrilled.
Standby Inc. is the same shop that brought us that $44,000 RL gaming console at a very reasonable SL price. Oh the thrills. I zipped over to the shop and found a few other very nice items. I am definitely looking forward to future releases.
Also in this pic, some of the Area 51 accessories from Second Spaces. There are various sets to purchase, some with furniture. I love the bulletin board, books and comics. The cafe is filled with Trompe Loeil Retro Cafe stools and tables. They are so easy on the land impact I had no guilt whatsoever.
So stop by the cafe when you have a chance. I'll be adding things over time of course. There isn't quite enough "clutter" for my realism level to feel at ease.
See yesterday's post for styling.

DWTS Season 13 Campaign – Ellen Kay and…Derek Hough?
One of PureDerekHough's readers, Jane, sent me the following transcription of a conversation between Deena Katz (DWTS Casting), Ryan Seacrest, and Ryan's cohort, Ellen Kay from Ryan's show today:
You probably already have this info, but if not, Ryan Seacrest and Ellen Kay spoke to Deena Katz this morning trying to pitch Ellen for the show. She asked who Ellen wanted to dance with and she started to say Louis but then said Derek Hough. Ellen asked if Derek would be back on the show and Deena said yes. Also said that Regis called dibs on Derek. Ellen again said she wanted to dance with Derek or Louis. Deena will be sending out invite letters after July 4th.
As we previously reported, Ellen (with Ryan's help) has been waging a campaign to get herself on Dancing with the Stars for the upcoming season. It appears the campaign continues and she's lobbying for Derek – or Louis, I guess if Derek's not back.
But there are other interesting tidbits in this conversation, if everything Deena is saying is true. First, "Derek will be back" – that sounds like a pretty solid statement. I take it to mean they are definitely planning on him being on the show. However, unless Derek is an indentured servant and I don't know about it, I'm not calling it a sure thing just yet. I think we will see him this season, but it's always possible something else (more fun and/or more lucrative) could come up and he decides to sit it out.
Interesting tid bit number 2 – they are sending out "invite letters" after July 4th. So, all you bozos claiming to know the cast? I don't think so. 🙂 That said – we've not seen too many claims by people that they are on the cast yet, and only one person claiming to know some of the cast. I do find this information more helpful though – it means I don't have to spend a lot of time every day scouring for tidbits…until after the 4th of July. 🙂
ETA – LISTEN FOR YOURSELVES. I haven't listened to it yet, but Lori tells me that when Ellen says something about Derek, Ryan says "he's not there". Deena then insists that Derek will be back, to which Ryan replies, "What do I know about the Houghs?" Which can be taken sarcastically…you judge for yourselves and tell me what you think. 🙂

ENGS 60: Introduction to Solid-State Electronic Devices
In this course the physical and operational principles behind important electronic devices such as the solar cell and transistor are introduced. Semiconductor electron and hole concentrations and carrier transport are discussed. Carrier generation and recombination including optical absorption and light emission are covered. P-N junction operation and its application to diodes, solar cells, LEDs, and photodiodes is developed. The field-effect transistor (FET) and bipolar junction transistor (BJT) are then discussed and their terminal operation developed. Application of transistors to bipolar and CMOS analog and digital circuits is introduced. The course is primarily intended for students interested in electronics, including digital, analog, power and energy, both at component and integrated circuit levels. The course may also be useful to students interested in electronic materials, device microfabrication and communications.

Lets see. Would this mid-70s Ford Pinto mid-riser qualify as a Donk or a Bubble? Either way, I think we're all for this kind of thing, if only due to its blend of twisted irony and off-kilter car-to-rims value ratio. We're also wincing for those craptacular Pinto axles and poor differential struggling to make heads or tails of that acres-from-stock wheel diameter. (Thanks to 72GTOJudge for the tip.)

Frank Veney… the other half of the Bethany Veney Story
In April 1915, the Page News & Courier featured a story about Frank Veney, stating that he claimed to be over one hundred and twelve years old at the time. Though he was, according to census records, more than likely born around 1830 rather than 1803, in his remarkable life span, Veney made the claim of having been married no less than 25 times. The paper read, "Whether his claim of having lived more than a century can be substantiated, the old man bears unmistakable marks of having weathered a long and checkered career. All this is evidenced by his flowing gray locks, his palsied form and unsteady gait. All this coupled with his great memory of the stirring incidents recorded by ancient history and we find the elements that contribute to perhaps the oldest person in Page County."
Though he claimed to have been married twenty-five times, Veney, in his March 30, 1915 interview, could only recall the names of eleven of his wives. Interestingly, Frank Veney can be found in the 1860 Page County census records as being a free man, 30 years of age and living with his son, Joshua (12) at the William H. Brumback place in Luray. Though he was free, many of the wives that Veney could recollect had been slaves. To the best of his memory, his first wife was "Nancy." Though he could not recall the first name of the next wife, he did remember that her last name was "Mullen." Veney could not remember his third wife's name whatsoever but did recall that she had been a slave and was owned by a man by the name of Mills in Greene County. The fourth wife recalled was Fannie Brady, "who died after being married on year leaving an infant child" (perhaps Joshua). "On her dying bed the woman requested as her last wish that Frank marry her sister, Mary, in order that the child should be taken care of." Frank Veney married her as his fifth wife, and then followed by Sarah Smith. However, that "domestic felicity was of short duration" as he had "found out some things on her that made him leave her." Frank Veney's next marriage was to Mildred Todd, and then a "woman by the name of "Read." Finally, by the mid 1850s (according to how Bethany Veney's account reads), it appears that he finally married Bethany. Bethany was at that time a slave belonging to John Printz. According to Frank Veney, "She was a noted cook employed by the late Daniel Adams (likely this was G.J. Adams) who conducted a hotel for many years in Luray. Before being in the employ of the Adams hotel she was bought by the late David McKay of Luray. She did a great deal of the cooking for the hands of Mr. McKay while he as engaged in building a railroad (actually a turnpike) in Bath County."
Though standing in stark contrast with the story that appears in Bethany Veney's personal account The Narrative of Bethany Veney: A Slave Woman, published in 1889) and reasoning for leaving Page County in 1858, Frank Veney recalled "Influenced that she possessed in the culinary art finally led to her settling in Worcester, Massachusetts, where she now lives at One hundred and three years of age."
Frank Veney continued that "After leaving these parts Frank Veney says he never heard anything of her whereabouts for three year, and thinking she was dead, the old man made another matrimonial plunge" with his next wife, Mandy or Amanda Jeffries. To this particular marriage was born a daughter, Flora (ca. 1874), who later married Cyrus Dixon in 1902. It is with Flora Dixon that Frank Veney resided at the time of the interview, "in the western suburbs" of Luray.
Interestingly, Frank Veney stated at the end of his interview that he had been in "correspondence with his former wife in Massachusetts, who has made many contributions to his comfort in his declining years."
From an article written by Robert H. Moore, II for the Heritage & Heraldry column of the Page News & Courier, July 1, 2004.

This is a very interesting story between Bethany and Frank Veney. I can't wait to be in Luray, Va to see if things have changed… When things seem to had changed shortly after the Civil War, but once she reached Luray, VA, and spending six to seven weeks there, she was ready to leave. It is apperant that she did not see the change that Luray, Va and wanted to return north. In 2009, I am leaving Dallas, Tx to move to the home land of my people, which is Luray, VA and I am wondering, now too, if there is change.

Dearest Cenantua,
It is a pleasure to see that you have taken the time to write me back. This is an honor. I am the granddaughter to William Veney of Luray, VA. William Veney and Nancy Deane had a daughter by the name of Lillian Renee Deane (Veney). Lillian Renee Deane is my mother. She lived in Luray, VA up until my grandmother Nancy Passed away in 2005. In June I will be moving to our home on West Main Street. I am the founder of Global Slavery Remembrance Day.com or http://www.projecta23.com. On March 25th, 2009, I was presented by the City of Hampton, Virginia Mayor, a Proclamation Proclaiming March 25th, as International Day of Remembrance of the Victims of Slavery and the Transatlantic Slave Trade in the City of Hampton. I don't know how I'm related to Frank Veney until I get to Luray but I am very sure Frank and William were very much related. There are not too many Veney's not related in Luray, VA. Smile. Also I loved how Bethnay Veney spoke so very well of Frank. It did my heart good and I am ever so grateful to Bethnay for including him in her book. He is either my great grandfather, grandfather or an uncle. Whichever, I know we are related. I am a Diversity Program Manager and I really am in prayer that Luray, VA has made the change that Bethnay Veney so loving desired. Luray, Va is such a beautiful place on earth for all to see, seek and visit. I hope to meet you in person soon. Sincerely, Venita Benitez

It will be an honor! Thanks for the invite. I will see you at the end of June. Write me with more details at firstname.lastname@example.com Also, I will do some research on Noah Thornton and the United States Colored Troops burried in Luray. My great grandfather and several uncles where also confederate soldiers too. As you can see, I have it all in my family. I am related to the Wingfield's (first president of Virgina Jamestown 1607) the Gosnold's, Keene's, Garner's, Chappelier's and the Lawsons. See you soon.

As a decendent of Bethany Veney. I had been researching other members of her family, but not being a researcher stopped, with the idea that I will begin again sometime in the summer.
Bethany Veney had a sister by the name of Matilda. I understand that there was Matilda Veney. Could Frank Veney have married Bethany's sister not knowing it? (smile)
Do you know if Aaron Jackson was from Page County and who could have possibly owned him?
Thanks for any help that you can give me and for he help you have given me in the past. It has been greatly appreciated by my entire family.

Dear Benetta,
I think I can assist you with your Veney family research. My name is Gloria Roye. My parents are William "Buster" Roy and Mary Roye. My father's parents are Major Roy and Louise Veney, both from Warsaw, Virginia.
I just came back from the 2009 Veney Family Reunion, which was held in Charleston, South Carolina. The Veney Family reunions are not your typically family reunions. We have a society, a committee board, a historian, a treasurer, a annual business meeting, held at the reunion etc..
At the reunions family history is discussed at lenth, there was lots of talk about Bethany Veney, who is our decendant. The 2010 reunion will be held in Richmond, Virginia.

Hi Gloria can you please log on to the Veney family site on facebook and let everyone know what information you have about the reunion for 2010? There are over 500 Veney's listed on facebook. Have you ever heard of Jesse Veney? His son Edward and Cora Veney were my great grandparents. There are over 100 of us in Johnstown, Pa.
Than you for your help! Lisa

Hi I'm Jahrod Pender, a descendant of Angeline Lomax, who was a neighbor, of Leroy and Kitty Veney on the Page County, Luray 1870 census. I noticed that Leroy Veney had a grandchildren named Leroy and Andrew McAfee or Mcfee, does anyone know anything about connection of Lomax,Veney,or the Mcfee family? Angeline Lomax had grandchildren named John and Andrew McAfee! What is the Veney Nationality or Race, I see Mulatto next to their race, even Angeline Lomax has Mulatto next to her, her daughter Harriet Lomax was even described as white the same year on another census. A cousin said Harriet Lomax was part cherokee or blackfoot indian. Were the Veney's native american? Maybe the Lomax and Veney are from the same tribe?

My husband, Anthony Preston, is a Veney by way of Thomas Veney in Pholadelphia, PA (Germantown) passed away May 2000. However, my mother-in-law gave him her last name. Anthony was born in PA, moved to Maryland and then in his teen his monther moved back to Gretna, VA (maiden name Bennett). We know Thomas Veney was married to Gloria Veney and they had three children: Thomas Jr, Glen and Cynthia. He worked on the police force and possibly with the DA and other government officials. If you can be of any assistance in finding the relatives of Thomas Veney, Anthony's father, please contact us at 770-595-2834.
Have a bless day.
