  9. I lived in the NC outer banks for a while. I can't fathom what would give the English the idea that it was a suitable place for a colony. The barrier islands are essentially just wind blasted sand bars sticking above the water. Very little fresh water. Surrounded by deep water on more or less all sides. Constant danger of storms. Alligators were likely everywhere. Miserable summers and miserable winters. Especially considering this was during the little ice age which lasted from 1400-1800, time would have been tough. So they chose a sand bar. Genius. The mainland would have been a much better choice.

  14. VIDEO EDITOR: You might want to have a chat with your host. Looks like the camera is focused on the microphone setup because that's crystal clear. LOL. Yeah. He needs to move the microphone out of shot so the camera can focus on him and not the object that's closest to it (the microphone). It was the issue even in the ad for the sponsor. He looks hazy. It's headache inducing and makes people's eyes ache too (mine anyway). Thanks!

  25. I do not think half brother and stepbrother are interchangeable terms. Genetically speaking, marrying your stepsib isn't incest (though it is weird, even if you met as adults) Your children would have 4 different grandparents. Marrying your half-sib most definitely is incest, since you share a parent. You only have to look at my half-brother and I to realize we're related, for all that we only share a mother, not fathers. Pictures of us as children could be interchangeable except for eye color & hair style
