Documentary
Timewatch - The Mystery of the Headless Romans
Wow! I have to say, it's nice to know that the people at the BBC, The Discovery Channel and National Geographic are finally tired of my posts and are now making a concerted effort to cast their history documentaries more accurately. All my years of posting vaguely readable diatribes on Comment Sections, Feedback Pages and Message Boards, have now today I know, not been done in vain.

LAST CHANCE FOR 2013 GULLAH FESTIVAL ADS!
The 27th Annual Gullah Festival will begin on May 24, 2013 and open its doors to a potential 70,000 visitors over the course of three days. It is not too late to have a display ad for your company in the festival's OFFICIAL ANNUAL and Booklet. Just call 525-0628 or email us and a representative will call you to work up your ad. Don’t miss your chance to become an Official Sponsor at this year’s Gullah Festival.
The Gullah Festival Weekend is highly recommend. The festival happens on Memorial Day weekend. The Gullah are the descendents of former slaves who live on and own the land of St. Helena, South Carolina. The festival celebrates modern Gullah culture and the West African history. We were also treated to an unbelievable tour of St. Helena and surrounding Islands by the Rev. His is a tour that can't be missed.
