► Jhd2 globally demethylates H3K4 at intergenic regions during yeast sporulation ► JHD2 represses interfering intergenic transcription globally in postmeiotic cells ► JHD2 represses nucleosome accumulation at NDRs during sporulation ► JHD2 mutants produce prematurely formed gametes that are stress sensitive
Gametes are among the most highly specialized cells produced during development. Although gametogenesis culminates in transcriptional quiescence in plants and animals, regulatory mechanisms controlling this are unknown. Here, we confirm that gamete differentiation in the single-celled yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae is accompanied by global transcriptional shutoff following the completion of meiosis. We show that Jhd2, a highly conserved JARID1-family histone H3K4 demethylase, activates protein-coding gene transcription in opposition to this programmed transcriptional shutoff, sustaining the period of productive transcription during spore differentiation. Moreover, using genome-wide nucleosome, H3K4me, and transcript mapping experiments, we demonstrate that JHD2 globally represses intergenic noncoding transcription during this period. The widespread transcriptional defects of JHD2 mutants are associated with precocious differentiation and the production of stress-sensitive spores, demonstrating that Jhd2 regulation of the global postmeiotic transcriptional program is critical for the production of healthy meiotic progeny.

CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- A severe thunderstorm uprooted a tree and caused it to fall onto a Kanawha City home Thursday evening.
Penny Atkins, the daughter of Fred and Sandy Combs, who own the home, said her parents were not in their Washington Avenue home when the large tree fell.
She said the tree fell into the left side of the house, where the living room and bedroom are, causing parts of the roof and walls to collapse. The garage, located in the rear of the house, was also damaged, along with a truck that was parked in front of it.
"They were getting ready to come home," she said. "If it had been probably 10 minutes later, they'd have been home. They would have probably been in that room. That's right where the bed would be; I'm glad this just happen at night time."
Atkins, who lives down the street from her parents, said she was at home when the storm began about 5 p.m. Along with strong winds and torrential rains, she said the storm brought penny-sized hail that damaged windows and destroyed screens.
She said a neighbor stopped by her house and to let her know the tree had fallen.
"We got up here as soon as we could and we found it just like this," she said. "I've never seen so much damage in my life."
The damage, she said, was not only to the home itself but also to its contents. In the rooms the tree landed on were family heirlooms like photographs and furniture that could not be replaced.
Atkins said her parents were in the process of contacting their home insurance agent and did not yet have any estimation of the cost of the damage.
Firefighters on the scene said they were still assessing the damage as well, and that it was too early to make any definitive calls about if the home would need to be demolished. Atkins wondered out loud if more could have been done to maintain trees around the city following last June's derecho, a much larger storm that caused similar damage all over Charleston.
She pointed up to a large tree standing opposite the one that had fallen, noting several dead branches that had never been removed. With another storm, she said, the same thing could happen again.

"The author gave me a copy, signed, so it really means something to me," Ben Kingsley says. Journalist Simon's stark depiction of everyday life in wartime focuses on Irena, a Bosnian teenager who becomes one of an army of lithe young snipers during the breakup of the former Yugoslavia in the '90s. "I enjoyed how the novel speculates about what happens to people during a war. It doesn't explain anything, but it elucidates the chaotic carnage of it. Our European genes are still playing out the same conflicts over and over," Kingsley says ruefully. "It never ends."

After 29 years in California, the influential TED Conference will make the move to B.C. in 2014, with keynote events scheduled for Vancouver and Whistler, according to an announcement from organizers Monday (Feb. 4).
Citing a need to go global, the flagship TED event is moving the conference from its usual home in Long Beach to the West Coast, where it will likely stay through 2020 according to local promoters.
Organizers of the non-profit event that brings together some of the world's foremost speakers and thinkers were looking to better position themselves as a global brand, and approached local business and tourism leaders last year, who have been working on bringing TED to B.C. for months.
"We put together a combination of concessions with the hotels and Vancouver Convention Centre, as well as partnership investment dollars," said Greg Klassen, the Canadian Tourism Commission's (CTC) senior vice-president of marketing strategy and communications in a press release. "The cash contribution derived from the consortia of the CTC, Tourism Vancouver and the Vancouver Hotel Destination Association is a partnership. It allows our partnership to leverage the TED brand with that of our own."
TED announced that the conference will be held March 17 to 21, 2014 at the Vancouver Convention Centre, with a satellite event, TEDactive, to be held in Whistler.
Chris Anderson, a magazine publisher whose non-profit company, The Sapling Foundation, oversees the TED Conference, called Vancouver "one of the world's greatest cities, combining a thriving culture of innovation with glorious nature," in the release.
Anderson hopes to create a "TED city enclave" between the Vancouver Convention Centre, the Pan Pacific, Waterfront and Pacific Rim hotels where most of delegates are expected to stay.
The move to host the wildly popular conference fits with national tourism leaders hopes to make Canada an attractive locale for international meetings and conventions. A recent tourism industry roundtable attended by senior government officials and industry leaders like Tourism Whistler president Barrett Fisher identified the need to attract more large-scale meetings and conferences to B.C. as a primary objective moving forward.
According to industry figures, meetings, conventions and incentive travel attracts close to two million visitors each year to Canada, with total spending of $1.7 billion—almost 24 per cent of all money spent by inbound overnight travellers.
Klassen and the CTC sees the benefits of hosting TED as larger than a simple hike in tourist numbers, however.
"Through TED and other influential conferences we will be able to achieve Canada's economic and social goals through possible direct foreign investment, foreign education in Canada and investor-class immigration," he said in the release. "The war on international talent is massive. It's through conferences like this that we can secure a world-class engineer or scientist and bring them and their family here to create here. That's the bigger payoff."

We stayed 2 nights at A Touch of English B&B in November. The rooms, service and food were outstanding and the rates very reasonable. I would not hesitate to stay here again if we return to Kelowna.

Beds and food were good. The apartment/suite was ok. Not real comfortable for eating or watching TV.

We returned to A Touch of English Bed & Breakfast for the 3rd time and as usual had a great 5 day stay. Clare and Kelly are the most gracious hosts, their warmth and good humour always makes our stay a great experience. They have very well appointed rooms and suites, lovely décor, very clean and very cosy. The suites are very well equipped with everything one would need for a short or an extended stay. With Kelly's cooking skills and Clare's baking skills be prepared to be wowed. With the three course breakfasts of juice, fruit, yogurt, granola, waffles, eggs benny with smoked salmon and various other delectable hot breakfast delights, you certainly won't leave the table hungry. Enjoy Clare's yummy home made scones with some afternoon tea or in summer Clare's Sangria, certainly an added touch. In summer the pool is a welcoming sight and one of our favorite hangouts at the end of the day. A Touch of English is certainly not your typical bed and breakfast......you come as strangers and leave as friends!!

Our first visit to A Touch of English was a memorable one. Kelly and Clare were warm and engaging hosts. Their home has a beautiful view of the Kelowna scenery. Kelly's culinary skills are top-notch (this from people who are regularly spoiled by a daughter who is a chef). The service was outstanding, and the rooms were kept spotlessly clean. Other guests who were repeat visitors have come to expect this kind of experience regularly. We heartily recommend A Touch of English.

I had a quick one night stay at A Touch of English Great room (even had a little decanter of Port). Very nice visit with the hosts. Great breakfast. For the price, far exceeded what I would get in any hotel. If I have to stay in Kelowna again, I wouldn't hesitate coming here

Lovely place to stay, with a spectacular view of Kelowna. The hosts are really interested in your comfort, and the breakfast is really wonderful. Very nice rooms, and great beds. Quiet.

Great B&B, wonderful rooms, great hospitality. A little bit out of the centre of Kelowna, in a residential area. Do not quite understand the 'English' slant and would take away the flags at the front of the house, which are a little too much for me. Do bring your slippers, as shoes are to be taken off at the front door.

Clare & Kelly really show commitment and have a beautiful place with an excellent view. Kelly is a great cook, Clare welcomes you and take care you know everything you have to know about Kelowna. Rooms and beds are large and clean. They are proud entrepreneurs as they should be. They don't serve dinner.

We had the pleasure of staying at A Touch of English for our babymoon. The suite was beautifully furnished and we were delightfully surprised. The property was stunning, the beautiful garden, the clear pool, the view of the mountain, the high bushes providing privacy. The breakfast was delicious and the other guests provided interesting conversation. High tea was quite delightful, including fruit and scones fresh out of the oven. The hosts were warm and generous, treating us like old friends. We were disappointed to have to leave and we will definitely stay at A Touch of English again.

A touch of English B&B can only be highly recommended. Clare and Kelly welcomed me after along flight with wonderful afternoon tea and a comfortable room with a view of the mountains. The breakfasts were outstanding and Clare couldn't have taken better care of us if we were family. Hope to be able to return!

Thank you for taking the time to write this wonderful review, we love it when our guests hope to return to the Okanagan and you know our doors are always open.

If you're going to be visiting Kelowna and you're considering accommodation options, A Touch of English B&B is definitely worth a look! Clare and Kelly are just about the nicest people you'll meet, and the property is beautiful. Despite our arriving late in the evening (about 10pm), we were greeted by a bubbly and vivacious Clare. After promptly showing us to our spacious guest room (complete with king-sized bed and private ensuite), she recommended a seriously amazing restaurant for dinner ( RauDZ Regional Table). After the best meal I think I've ever had, we returned for a late swim in the heated outdoor pool (Clare was a doll and left the garden lights on for us!) and a supremely deep sleep on an impossibly comfortable mattress. Kelly's skills in the kitchen were on full display come breakfast time (smoked salmon eggs Benedict anyone?), and Clare's winery recommendations (Mission Hill, Quail's Gate, and Little Straw) ensured that we were able to experience the very best of what the Okanagan Wine Country has to offer. Clare and Kelly went above and beyond to ensure that our first bed and breakfast experience would be a memorable one. Their passion and devotion to hospitality is evident in every corner of the property, and the warmth with which they welcomed us was truly touching. A fantastic experience all around, I can't wait to go back!

wow - what an amazing review and we are so glad as first timers to the B&B world you had a wonderful time. Do come back to the Okanagan and we hope you consider our B&B again.

Touch of English B& B was an oasis in the beautiful Okanagan area. The owner operated B& B was a perfect solution to rest, relaxation and great conversation. The owners are on-site and really pay attention to every last detail, making our stay comfortable. The pool is a wonderful refreshing option after a day of tastings in all the nearby wineries. We loved it! See the Purple Roofs link for details on The Touch of English.

Very charming couple, made us feel completely at home, and provided an exceptional breakfast both days that we were there. We were out for 11 hours on Saturday and returned to the lights on in our room and the fireplace going, a very welcoming sight. We will make a point of staying again. Thank You

Afternoon tea was a lovely welcome. Breakfast was the best we had our entire ten-day trip. Altho' a bit hard to find, the location high on a hill in a quiet neighborhood was very relaxing.

So glad you enjoyed your experience at our B&B - thank you for review.
5 su settembre 19, 2013
It is easy to see why this B &B is one of the 10 best in Canada. The service and hospitality are top notch. Claire and Kelly make you feel right at home and part of the family. They are quick to offer fantastic tips about what the area has to offer and their suggestions are right on. The accommodations are great and extremely comfortable and the breakfasts each morning will make anyone go off their diet. They're superb. There are only six rooms so reservations in advance are essential.... Especially in the high season. The Okanagan valley is a fantastic destination if you love wine, golf and water sports. Okanagan lake is a beauty to behold.

What a wonderful review, thank you - our guests mean so much to us and your words describe that.

We stayed for three nights September 2013 and Clare and Kelly were brilliant hosts. Can't recommend it highly enough, and would encourage anyone to stay. The gourmet breakfasts are just too good for words. Our only regret is that we live too far away to stay regularly!

The room was very spacious and clean, wonderful view of the valley and breakfast was very good. We enjoyed the afternoon with self maked scones and the use of the swimming pool.Clare had good advices about things to do in Kelowna.

Our visit took place in July this wonderful B&B was the cherry on top for our vacation. Pool and pool service made us feel so special. Breakfasts were fit for a queen. Location is wonderful. Owners make you feel so comfortable you feel like you've known them for a long time. Je suggere a tous.

We had an excellent stay at A touch of English b&b. Book early if you want a room. We had to switch rooms to accomodate the scheduling, but they happily moved our bags. The breakfast was excellent, and rooms were comfortable and clean. The pool is a nice bonus if you want some quiet away from the city beaches. Overall, we would stay there again!

I stayed at this amazing B&B for the weekend and can't wait to go back. The beautiful stunning views, the house is amazing and the pool is fantastic!!! We all had a blast with Kelly and Clare!!! Thanks so much for the amazing hospitality! The food that Kelly cooks up is 5star!!! Loved it all...would recommend to all wanting a terrific Kelowna stay--not to mention the wine....

We have stayed twice with Clare and Kelly and it is one of our two favourite B & B's and we have stayed in quite a few over the years. Clare is an enthusiastic host and nothing is too much trouble for her. Kelly produces sumptuous al fresco breakfasts, a feast to last you the day, to say nothing of Clare's scones and tea in the afternoon. She also mixes up a mean smoothie. The rooms are very comfortable but why stay there when you can relax around or in their refreshing pool. We highly recommend staying at "A Touch of English" and we are looking forward to our next stay with Clare and Kelly.

I stayed in this fantastic B&B for the weekend and highly reccomend this place! It was so beautiful and the pool was great. The hosts-Kelly and Clare made it perfect! Breakfast was 5 star:) The rooms are fantastic and I will return so I can try out each one..I also think it would make a great girls getta-way or guys golf trip headquarters. If your looking for amazing views, tranquility, 5star accomadation and breakfast this is the place. thanks for the amazing expereince Kelly and Clare--see you next year!!!

Clare and Kelly were great hosts! Their home is charming, spacious, well-maintained, and has beautiful views. Clare's sassy English humour was delightful. Kelly went above and beyond by preparing delicious gluten and dairy free breakfasts for me. We met a wonderful assortment of international travelers at breakfast each morning. We will definitely stay here again! - Holly & Darren

Our stay at A Touch of English B&B was our first Bed and Breakfast experience. What an amazing stay it was. My husband and I were greeted by a very upbeat and welcoming Clare. She made us feel very welcome and explained to us the ins and outs of B&B'ing. She served us freshly baked scones, local fruit and afternoon tea on her deck, which overlooked her pool, beautiful property and mountains in the distance. We soon met her husband, Kelly. He was also very nice and welcoming. Clare helped with recommendations for dinner, beaches to visit and local events (farmer's markets etc). We took advantage of the pool a couple times on our one night stay. It was very clean and had great scenery. The room was very beautiful, clean and had a very comfortable bed. The tv in the room is a nice touch, although I was asleep as soon as my head hit the pillow. In the morning, I went down to the deck to read and catch some sun. Clare served me coffee and scones since my husband wasn't quite awake for breakfast yet. Clare and Kelly were very laid back. They served breakfast whenever you were awake enough and hungry. To quote Clare "we serve breakfast when we see the whites of your eyes." Kelly's breakfast was very delicious and featured fresh local fruit (it was peach season...mmm), homemade waffles and a yogurt parfait. Clare and Kelly are such a nice couple, we will remember them for quite awhile. On our drive home we had already talked about staying there again, but for more than one night!

We stayed for one night at Touch of English, in the Berkshire Suite. The suite was decorated to a high standard, with excellent amenities including an en-suite bathroom and in suite refrigerator. The view from the room was simply breathtaking, overlooking the wonderfully refreshing pool and beautiful patio area. Clare and Kelly were wonderful hosts, and made us feel so very welcome in their home. Afternoon tea, of fruit scones and fresh tea, was absolutely delightful. The scones, jam and cream were absolutely delicious. The only thing nicer was breakfast: smoked salmon with poached eggs, and a lemon and dill hollandaise. Kelly is truly an exceptional chef. We wished we could have stayed longer, and would highly recommend Touch of English to anyone visiting Kelowna.

We didn't have the best trip of our life in Canada because of the flooding and because of a bad tour operator, but thanks to Clare Sucloy we could enjoy a wonderful last day in Canada. She really sheered up our holiday. So if you want stay at a nice place, enjoy the spirit of Canada this is the place to go. Clare can provide you with plenty of information about what you really should do in the neighborhood. You want feel sheeted on you anymore, because you again went to the wrong and very expensive tourist attraction. Thanks for all to Clare.

My boyfriend and I visited with our dog for 2 nights and all 3 of us had the best time. Clare and Kelly welcomed us so warmly into their lovely home. I have a gluten allergy and they were so accommodating, both mornings we were treated to the most delicious gourmet breakfasts which were made even better by the stunning view from their deck dining area. Clare is the most enthusiastic lovely person, she goes above and beyond to make sure your stay is everything it can be. We highly highly recommend staying at A Touch of English, you will not be disappointed. We can't wait to return!

My daughter and I arrived on a Friday at Clare and Kelly's lovely b&b for a 3-day break. From the time we were greeted at the door we were made to feel very welcome. This is a beautiful location for a getaway. There is a wonderful view and several places to sit. I loved the deck of the pool, but especially loved a corner of the deck with the white wicker furniture. This is a cozy place to sit and enjoy the view. Kelly prepares excellent breakfasts. If you bring a treat back to the house, they are more than happy to give you whatever you need to enjoy it. We would recommend a stay at Clare and Kelly's anytime.

My boyfriend, two dogs and I stayed at A Touch of English over a lovely May weekend. We had a wonderful time and will absolutely visit again. Here's why: First, our hosts Clare and Kelly: They were absolutely wonderful! Clare is a bubbly lively host who kept us entertained during our stay. Kelly is a very warm gentleman who was very friendly and made us feel welcome. We felt like friends visiting more than strangers. Even the dogs felt at home! Second, the food: OMG… Kelly is a wonderful cook who made us these unbelievable breakfasts everyday! Then Clare served us scones and tea in good old fashion English. Absolutely lovely! Overall, this has been my best B&B experience.

We spent 3 nights at the Touch of English and it was far too short. We are already planning our next visit. The whole experience was far more than we have ever experienced in our previous visits to a B&B. The hosts are amazing and everything was fantastic. Would highly recommend a stay at the Touch of English to anyone.

Simply the best B&B I've been at. The place was beautiful and homely decorated, it also has a gorgeous view of Kelowna (especially at night!) The rooms are quiet, private, spotless and the beds made for kings. My room had its own private ensuite bathroom, fireplace, fridge, TV (with lots of channels!) and high speed wirelesss internet. Kelly's 5 star cooking will you make you wish every meal was breakfast. He's now even experimenting with gluten-free ingredients, and is already an expert in my opinion. From the moment I arrived Clare and Kelly made me feel extremely welcome, more of a friend than a guest and were very accommodating. Easily one of the most delightful hosts I've ever encountered. My only complain would be that they got me hooked on their home-made scones and now I crave them almost every day.

You are Welcome, we enjoyed having you stay with us and definitely enjoy experimenting with Gluten-free menus. The pool is open now and summer weather is here. :)

We had a week's stay in Kelowna while travelling from west to east Canada. A Touch of English offers much more than a regular B & B you would expect. The room is classy and spacious. There's always a special attention to details such as the decanter of sherry in the bed room, freshly made scones upon arrival, all the luxurious toiletries in the ensuite etc. Both Clare and Kelly are wonderful hosts. Clare is so funny and ever so helpful and i believe Kelly is well known with his breakfasts He is always finding new recipes to create interest among the guests such as freshly made granola, ice wine jam etc. It has set a new standard for us when measuring the quality of B & B. So far none has come near it.

We came to Kelowna for our honeymoon and A Touch of English was a really great place to stay! We felt instantly welcome and at home in their beautiful house. Their hospitality was always present. We really appreciated the delicious sangria and homemade scones that Clare whipped up in seconds, along with the 8 a.m. tea outside our room! True talent, character, and passion is found in this Bed and Breakfast. We will definitely be back!

We've been to Okanagan three times this summer, but the weekend at A Touch of English B & B was a real TREAT. We enjoyed our time filled with all things luxurious: fresh-crispy-scones greeting on a shady vine-covered patio overlooking spectacular mountain view, our clean, spacious suite and pastoral landscape paintings on the walls, deluxe lace bedding and sherry in crystal glasses, backyard luxury of the swimming pool and the convenience of a fully-equipped kitchenette, and finally, Kelly's full-blown breakfast spiced up with a zest of Clare's humour and her lovely English accent… The hosts' hospitality, a fantastic setting and beautiful weather made our adventure the most thrilling and memorable ever!

Clare and Kelly welcome you into their B&B with the warmth and hospitality of long-time friends. The rooms are tastefully decorated and our king-size bed was so comfortable.

Be prepared to show up at that breakfast table with an empty stomach because the food is magical... We stayed five days and will be back

Gourmet breakfasts, excellent local travel tips/suggestions, beautiful view from our upstairs bedroom, privacy,... and Toby is a cool cat.

It was our last day of vacation and Kelowna was the final stop before we headed home. We were greeted as is if we were long lost friends and felt very welcome. Wecwerecalso presented with an afternoon tea out on the deck overlooking the valley. Very peaceful,and pretty. The scones and biscuits (cookies?) were delicious. This was a very nice touch after a long day of driving. Clare was very accommodating, cordial and funny too. The rooms are a little dated, but very clean. The bed was comfortable and linens were top notch. Breakfast was just great! There were so many choices and all delicious. No doubt we would stay there again and are looking forward to visiting Kelowna soon.

We enjoyed our stay very much and our hosts Clare and Kelly were great. However, if the weather had been better we would have been disappointed not to have been able to swim due to the disrepair of the pool. Otherwise the food, rooms etc were excellent.

This was a truely outstanding and wonderful B & B. After a wet drive from Revelstoke we were welcomed with scones, jam and fruit to eat. Breakfasts were the best we have ever tasted. Clare and Kelly welcomed us into their home like one of the family, and we had long chats about England, obviously! Whenever we next visit Canada we will be back.

Clare and Kelly are very attentive, and Kelly provides excellent breakfasts. The tea-time scones are wonderful.

From the modern on-suites in every room to the gourmet breakfast, this B&B has got my vote for top in Kelowna. Full size pool, lovely gardens, and exceptional attention to detail make this the perfect quiet get away.

I have been fortunate enough to stay with the Sucloy family at 'A Touch of English' Bed and Breakfast several times. I come to Kelowna regularly for business, and find the location of this B&B very convenient. The rooms are modern and extremely comfortable, with king sized beds, plush robes and slippers. They are always spotlessly clean. I am always impressed with the delicious breakfasts served. They are diverse and arranged beautifully. I must say that my hosts are wonderful people who have begun to feel like family. I always look forward to staying at 'A Touch of English' and would highly recommend it.

My wife and I only had 1 day in Kelowna and were really glad we chose this B&B! The hosts, Clare and Kelly, are so warm and friendly and the facility is just what we were looking for...thanks again!
4,6 su ottobre 16, 2011
Every detail taken care of - afternoon tea on arrival, out-of-this-world breakfasts, great views, good contacts for taxis and restaurants, and a fantastic house in a lovely quiet suburb of Kelowna (but still close to the city centre action!). Kelly and Clare clearly pride themselves on the personal touch, and they will be the first people we call when we return to the area. Keep up the good work!

Very nice property. Spacious room. Breakfast was ourstanding and delicious!

Our host and hostess could not have been more accommodating! From the moment we walked in till our fond farewells, it felt like going home. The breakfasts were WAY beyond our expectations! Eggs Benedict with smoked salmon, asparagus and hollandaise. Great homemade smoothies and granola, fresh fruit from the nearby orchards, homemade marmalade...... Kelly is a fantastic cook! What a lovely place to stay! Clare and Kelly could not have made it any nicer!

We arrived late in the afternoon, very thirsty, very hot, and just wanted to get to our rooms and put up our feet. However, Clare brought us into her home where she placed a glass of sangria in my hand and a beer in my husband's. She had us sit on the covered deck and put our feet up, where we noticed the swimming pool. We were 100% pleased at that point with our choice of B&B. And suddenly a tray of scones and chocolate covered strawberries appear out of nowhere. However, when we were shown our room, which turned out to be a small apartment, with all the comforts of home, a separate bathroom, bedroom and combined livingroom kitchenette, with microwave and fridge, we were so impressed. We would most certainly stay at A Touch of English Bed & Breakfast the next time in Kelowna. And the breakfasts were lovely. The best biscuits I have ever had~!

Enjoyed the tea and scones upon arrival, a very nice touch. Kelly and Clare made us feel very welcome. Breakfasts were superb! I lost a little bag of photos and receipts and while they were not found at A Touch of English, Clare expressed concern and kept in touch with me. A little out of the way, but once we got our bearings we commuted easily. Thanks for an enjoyable two days. R & N

This was our first stay at a B&B and it was wonderfull. Clare and Kelly are amazing hosts and the breakfasts were star quality, maybe even better! We rate this a 10!

Hi there! I would love to recommend A Touch of English B&B to anyone that is looking for a wonderful place to stay. I really got nothing bad to say other than good things. I rented The Essex Room and I did not regret it. The room is very clean, beautiful and updated. Also, Clare and Kelly are very friendly couple, and they do make you feel like home. Overall, I would love to come back again on my next trip to Kelowna. Thank you!
4,4 su agosto 30, 2011
The hospitality, friendliness and attention to detail by Clare and Kelly are truly outstanding. They make you feel like family and ensure the guests are well looked after and pampered. We will certainly return to A Touch of English on our next visit to Kelowna. Keep up the fantastic work!

Clare and Kelly are very heartily. The room was clean and capacious. It was one of our best stay in British Columbia.

We stayed at the Touch of English B&B for a week and had an amazing time. Our hosts, Clare and Kelly were very gracious, the accomodations were clean and we had everything we needed including our own private patio and BBQ....home from home. The breakfasts were the highlight of our day with fresh fruit each morning followed by eggs benedict, eggs with smoked salmon and full English and Clare's famous fresh baked scones....what could be better to start the day! The property is well appointed, quiet with lovely views; the garden is very well kept and we had the added extra of the heated pool....who needs a beach! We will definitely be returning to A Touch of English, it was our home away from home, we had great hosts, great hospitality, some good laughs and a great vacation
4,2 su agosto 10, 2011
This is a gem of a B&B. The hosts, Clare & Kelly are fun, very welcoming & professional. They clearly enjoy what they do! The house is outstanding where guests can relax poolside at the end of the day, in the beautiful garden with a lovely view of Kelowna. The breakfast was certainly the best at any B&B I have visited - fresh baking, fruit, juice, etc. followed by a main such as eggs benedict. You won't go hungry!
4,6 su agosto 08, 2011
The epitome of what a host and hostess of a B&B should be. Suggest you put a book in each room so that guests can comment on their stay.

Very friendly, polite, fun hosts who are fortunate enough to own a wonderful kitten "Toby", whom we would have gladly given a new home to. The view from the dining area is spectacular and we would have loved to enjoy what was a very attractive pool area, but Mother Nature did not comply. Kelly is a master in the kitchen and the breakfasts are delicious, but be forewarned you will need to bring your appetite, as the portions are not small! The location of the house is in a very nice quiet neighborhood. The tranquiliy of the neighborhood along with a very comfortable bed, made for a great sleep. Liz Conroy

Once upon a time, before kids could read books, they listened to stories. As they listened, imaginations sprung to life and almost magically, if not scientifically, language and comprehension skills were acquired. And so goes the tale behind author/illustrator Steve Light's new story boxes. The simple wood crates contain all the elements your little Hans Christian Andersen needs to "tell" the stories of Rapunzel, Hansel & Gretel, The Girl Who Loved Danger, and Little One Inch — in his own words. Each box includes hand-painted resin characters, props to represent the setting (a river of light blue fabric), and a simple version of the folktale to read with your child before he begins spinning a yarn. Light also suggests researching alternate versions of the classic fables, so that kiddos can pick and choose their own details. So it's not the same old story.

Motorists are the problem, not cyclists
Original post made by Renee Batti on Apr 4, 2007
Let's turn Maria Ploeger's (Letters, March 21) question around: Bicyclists and pedestrians are not put in danger by other bicyclists and pedestrians.
Why then, would parents knowingly put children in danger by driving anywhere near a school?
Robert Cronin
Marmona Drive, Menlo Park
Comments (9)
on Apr 4, 2007 at 5:10 pm
Because it's OTHER PEOPLE'S KIDS that they are putting in danger.
Not their own.
on Apr 4, 2007 at 5:19 pm
I would never let my child bike to school, and I cringe when I see kids biking down these busy streets. I wish their parents had more sense!
on Apr 7, 2007 at 10:07 am
We create the world we want to live in. Drive your kids every where. Feed them junk and let them zone out on computer games.
It's your choice.
Let fear drive your decisions?
We'll see what kind of adults are produced with this mode of parenting.
on Apr 7, 2007 at 10:45 am
Uh yeah, that's the logical next step. If we don't allow our kids to bike in heavy traffic, then obviously we are the kinds of parents who feed our kids junk food and let them watch television all the time. We're only concerned about their safety because we want them to grow up to be useless adults instead of winding up in a morgue before they turn 10 years old.
A teenage driver lost control of his car and ran onto Encinal school grounds yesterday, driving over the landscaping and stopping within inches of the building. Fortunately, school had not yet gotten out for the day and no one was injured. Instead of campaigning for kids to be out biking on our streets, maybe you should be asking parents of teens not to give them high powered cars that they cannot handle safely. As long as there are high school kids racing down Ringwood, I cannot imagine why any responsible parent would allow a child to bike on that street.
on Apr 7, 2007 at 1:06 pm
I agree with "Safety Conscious Mom"
We've taught our children the importance of safe biking and driving, but we still drove ours to M-A across town because of safety concerns.
Bikers and pedestrians always lose when cars are involved in accidents.
"Common sense" doesn't understand that some of us established car pools to minimize the traffic impacts we and fellow parents might make, and our kids once they were the drivers. We make prudent decisions regarding safety decisions and concluded that we weren't willing to risk our childrens' lives by forcing them to bike when there aren't adequate or safe ways to do so between home and certain schools. For other schools, we've made different decisions.
We think it's time the school systems stepped up to address this matter. With the huge bond issues, there should be sufficient funds to do so.
on Apr 7, 2007 at 5:26 pm
Finally, someone has brought up the concept of creating safe routes for our children to get to/from school. Let's start with reducing the speed on Middle Ave. which is the city's designated "safe route to school" street. 25 MPH instead of 30 MPH!
Next, let's get an undercrossing of the train tracks so that no child walking or riding a bicycle has to conquer the Ravenswood intersection. The Civic Center which features the pool, the library, the skateboard park, the baseball diamond and the soccer fields is a destination for many of the chlidren in Menlo Park. How can they get there without being driven by their parents.
Another project crying out for attention is the need for sidewalks on the north side of Santa Cruz Ave. so that the Hillview Middle School students don't have to walk in the street.
Is there a disconnect between how we Menlo Residents see ourselves and what we are actually willing to support and finally fight for? This new council needs to hear from parents. Start with Boyle. He seems to be the only one listening these days.
on Apr 8, 2007 at 11:02 am
To "safe routes to school advocate" - I agree that community members need to speak to the council on safe routes around town, not just on behalf of children by the way. However, I find it highly inappropriate that you suggest only one councilmember listens.
Are you suggesting that the other councilmembers who are parents of young children (Cline, Fergusson, Robinson) and Cohen (I think he has an older child) really don't care about safety? Your divisive comments really get in the way of solving problems as a community.
on Apr 9, 2007 at 10:14 am
Safety Conscious Mom:
Why stop with teens driving high-powered cars they can't handle?
Let's get tiny trophy wives banned from driving giant hummers and SUVs that they can't maneuver into parking spaces, let alone drive safety on the streets.
Let's prohibit every overcompensating man roaring down the street from driving a ridiculous pick-up truck.
And those mid-life crisis cases with their failing eyesight and slowing reflexes -- they should definitely not be behind the wheel of high-performance sports cars.
Then we can train our sights on old people, cell phone yammerers, oblivious Lexus drivers and distracted mini van moms.
By the time we get done ridding the streets of unsafe drivers, there will be no one left but kids on bikes!
on Apr 10, 2007 at 9:25 am
The school provides crossing guards at the school sites, but in other communities the city also provides crossing guards along popular biking and walking routes to school. I hope that the City of Menlo Park will consider doing this as part of their joint effort with the school district to promote safe routes to school.

Choppy Scrolling
I have had my nexus 4 for about 2 weeks now. For the first week it was amazingly smooth when scrolling in all applications. About a week ago it began being very choppy while scrolling in apps (Facebook, Twitter, Google+, Chrome, etc). Flicking between homescreens and app pages is still great as always though. I've tried doing multiple factory resets and even with nothing installed (except one of the apps having a problem) the scrolling is still really choppy.
Anyone else experienced anything like this? Any suggestions on fixing?
Thanks! - 01-10-2013, 07:56 PM #2

Re: Choppy Scrolling
I don't know much/anything about the n4, but I remember someone else having this problem after we received the JB update to our EVOs. Surprisingly the fix was as easy as turning on and then off "Power Save" mode. Hope this helps.

Mine has always been like this I think. I noticed it pretty early on anyway. I kept thinking how annoying it was that everyone called the phone so smooth when it was so choppy so I guess that isn't normal........ But my gs3 was a lot smoother. Hoping this rumored update fixes it

Re: Choppy Scrolling
I think a lot of these issues are app specific. We get updates that aren't always optimized for the latest OS. It's just the way it is when you have a Nexus. That's why it doesn't happen on every app. It's a developer phone.

Re: Choppy Scrolling
My Nexus 7 became choppy about 2 weeks after receiving it. It's mostly just on the home screens when scrolling between pages and trying to swipe down the notification and settings bar. Sometimes it won't even let me swipe them down. They "shoot" back closed. Anyone figured anything out? That's the only problem I have with the tablet.

Jersey Shore Musicians Stage Benefit Concert To Raise Funds For Highlands Community Devastated By Sandy
Hope for Highlands Benefit Concert Scheduled for January 20th at the Count Basie Theatre
HIGHLANDS, N.J., Jan. 11, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Brian Kirk, in partnership with Hope for Highlands (www.highlandsnj.com/hope) and Helping Highlands Survivors (www.helpinghighlands.org), are pleased to announce the Hope for Highlands benefit concert, Sunday January 20th, 7:00 pm, at the Count Basie Theatre in Red Bank, NJ. Brian Kirk & The Jirks will be joined by The Jukebox Criminals, G-Band and Pat Guadagno.
"Badly needed relief money for the Jersey shore post-Sandy has been slow to materialize," said Mr. Kirk, whose band has entertained Jersey crowds for nearly 20 years. "I am organizing this show to raise funds for the Highlands community that will benefit families and businesses now, as they start to rebuild."
The Highlands, located at the tip of the Jersey shore, lost roughly 1,200 of its 1,500 downtown homes from Hurricane Sandy and almost all of its business sustained significant damage. The impact to this working class neighborhood was unprecedented, tearing apart buildings that have stood for 80+ years and nearly wiping out an entire mobile home community.
The musicians involved have deep ties to the Jersey shore and hope to attract local support. All proceeds from the benefit concert will be used to provide assistance to the Highlands community.
Rebecca Kane, Deputy Mayor for Highlands praised the spirit behind the event. "This concert is a great example of the local government and private citizens coming together to help out their neighbors," said Ms. Kane. "We continue to face enormous challenges in Highlands but we will rebuild and make Highlands better than ever."
Bob Small, President of Helping Highlands Survivors, organized the charity to provide residents with a direct, local channel for aid. "The needs of the Highlands community are immediate and will continue for quite some time," said Mr. Small. "The funds from our charity will assist with real life, day-to-day issues residents are facing as they wait for funds from the government and insurance." Helping Highlands Survivors is a 501(c)(3) organization formed by families born and raised in the Highlands, and dedicated to generating funds to assist residents impacted by Hurricane Sandy.
Tickets are $35 and go on sale Friday January 11th at 12:00 at the Count Basie box office or www.countbasietheatre.org.

Plans to build a tornado shelter in Vine Grove have stalled over the last several months because of residents' aesthetic opinions and money.
Officials hope a third design will get the project back on track.
Mayor Blake Proffitt told Vine Grove City Council members Monday during their monthly meeting that a third design is expected to be submitted to the city next week for a community tornado shelter.
