Our History Project -Archeology Report 03-18-09

To the Spooky Southcoast Fans. Please bear with me on posting the Our History Project shows and information on here as well. This is a new venture for me and I am the owner. It is brand new and I am placing this on the 8-10 sites I run in-order to gain my web presence. In the past week it has started showing up in search engine results and I expect about one more month of posts on any releases we have. Thanks for understanding.

Hello and welcome to Our History Project where history comes to life and history becomes his story.

In this segment we will focus on U.S. archeology in the news. We are digging up, if you will, the news on what is happening around the country.
This will be a feature segment of our show and we will be hosting these points either by its own stand alone broadcast or contained within the Our History Project regularly scheduled show. Either way we will scan the country at least twice a month to give you a report from local newspapers of what is going on.

In saying that, if you have a story on archeology, in any part of the U.S. send it in. That will make sure we know about it and pass it on to our listeners.
Don’t forget the first Our History project will be released on March 28th. We will be interviewing Sue VerHoef of the Kenan Research Library at the Atlanta History Center. We will be talking to Sue and discover what the Kenan Research Library has to offer, not only to the city of Atlanta but also for the rest of the country.
Let me take this opportunity to thank you for tuning in. I hope you will find this show is not only educational but also entertaining and interactive. That’s right, we do want you to get involved we have our forum set and it is ready for you to come on in and join us for some historical conversation.

You say, “You’re not a history buff?” That’s ok too. Drop in and let us know what you think. I think I can speak for all historians and researchers on this one. We love teaching and sharing. That my friend is what history is all about, passing it along.

Rangers Apprentice Series Update

I checked the AU website(http://www.rangersapprentice.com.au/index.asp) the other day and John advised that the new book (#9)"Halts Peril" will be out on November 2nd.

If you are a die hard fan like my daughter and I you will want to get it when it comes available. I have had alot of hits on this page concerning the Rangers Apprentice Series so I thought I would share the best place to order.

It is hard find a dealer that will have reasonable rates to the U.S. and some traps not to get caught in. I have ordered a number of times and have found that Chaos (http://chaos.com/) will handle the orders online as good if not better than anyone else. They are basically the equivalent of Amazon the world over, but for Australia.

When ordering you can find coupons on-line for discounts but do not use them for shipping. Go with the ones that give you a percentage off. For some reason the shipping coupons only apply to in country sales only. I have tried it.

You will have to sign up and create an account. They will send you spec ails (ads) about twice a month so if you do not want to be bothered use a second free mailbox (yahoo, google,hotmail, windows) that you can verify orders form. I like many use this strategy for anything I fill out online. It keeps your personal e-mail account clean.

If you are looking for the audio of the books net library which is affiliated with most libraries here in the southeast has them available on line for free. You can download it and listen for 30 days. The first 3 were available the day that the book was released here in the U.S., which was great. The last one that came out took almost 6 months longer.

The U.S. is catching up on the series in general. Australia has gone from a 6 month release date to a 12 month release. The U.S. also changed from 12 months to 9 months. But, I think it will never catch up completely.

The good news is that searching the places like Amazon, ebay and Craigs List will find you a used new release in about 2-3 months after the release.

Hope that helps folks.
