Shenandoah Valley Campaign Sesquicentennial
A Whirlwind in the Shenandoah: The formal celebration of the 150th Anniversary of Stonewall Jackson's Shenandoah Valley Campaign ended this past Sunday but the battlefields are still there and there will be continuing reenactments and other special events for the next three years, so y'all come.
In the spring of 1862, amidst the breathtaking beauty of the Shenandoah Valley, Confederate Gen. Thomas J. "Stonewall" Jackson conducted one of the most brilliant and audacious campaigns in American military history. Jackson and his "foot cavalry" changed the course of the Civil War - and carved their names in history.
Now, 150 years later, sites throughout the Valley are commemorating that campaign with a series of well over 35 exciting events - reenactments, living history programs, walking tours, driving tours, conferences, lectures, youth programs, memorial ceremonies, passport programs, and exhibits. Make your plans now to be part of those special programs - and to follow the dramatic story of the pivotal events of those war-torn days.
A few notes about the first Battle of Winchester: Two days after being defeated by Gen. Jackson at nearby Front Royal, Union Gen. Nathaniel Banks having reached Winchester, attempted to reorganize his men and defend his base from the hills on the south side of the town. As Jackson's Army approached the Federal defenses from the south, Gen. Richard Ewell's Confederate division converged on Winchester from the southeast. On May 25, Ewell attacked Camp Hill, while the Louisiana Brigade of Jackson's Army outflanked and overran the Union position on Bowers Hill. As both lines gave way, panic spread through the Federal ranks as Banks' men raced through the streets of Winchester attempting to escape. Banks' shattered army withdrew north across the Potomac River. During the battle and the subsequent retreat, Banks lost more than 2,000 men along with most of his supplies, while Confederate casualties were only about 400.

Throughout the 1990s, I lived near Baltimore, Maryland. Since I was a pre-schooler, my parents had lived in Charlotte, North Carolina. When I lived in Maryland, I made relatively frequent trips between Maryland and North Carolina. Usually, I took a shortcut from Frederick, Maryland to Interstate-81 just south of Winchester but when I was not racing to get to my destination, I would often spend an hour or two in Winchester. I love that town and could very easily live there, IF I could afford it.
It seemed that every time I went to Winchester, I "accidentally" found a great spot which I had previously been totally unaware was in the area. I am writing this tip because I have just learned some terrific news about one of those discoveries. It was a working class home in which Virginia Patterson Hensley lived from the age of 16 to 21. She left that home to marry contractor Gerald Cline and her name lasted much longer than did her four year marriage. We now know her as Patsy Cline, and, as we sometimes say, "The rest is history."
There's little doubt that today's predominance of women country singers owe their success to the trail blazed by Patsy Cline in the male-dominated 1950s. As of last year fans—and aspiring singers—can visit the house where it all began.
She did a lot of singing as a teen but her singing career really took off in 1957, about the time she split with Mr. Cline.
Taking a long, slow, and often painful climb from obscurity to international fame, Cline captured the hearts of country music fans everywhere before her tragic death in an airplane crash in 1963, at the age of only 30. Her career culminated with her becoming the first solo female singer to join the Grand Ole Opry in 1960, and the first woman to be inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame in 1973.
The house was not open to the public when I was doing all my traveling between Maryland and North Carolina but it has now been restored and is open six days per week from April 1 through October 31, 2012. Schedule is changed twice each year.
She is buried at the Shenandoah Memorial Cemetery in Winchester and the auditorium at John Handley High School, which she attended but did not graduate because she felt it necessary to leave school when her father deserted the family when she was 15. There is also an annual Patsy Cline Festival in Winchester on Labor Day weekend.

Visit nearby Harpers Ferry, West Virginia
Harper's Ferry, at the border of Virginia, Maryland, and West Virginia, and at the confluence of the Potomac and Shenandoah Rivers, was a strategic Civil War location with lots of history. Long before the war, Harper's ferry was established as a manufacturing and transportation center, as the US Armory and Arsenal was established in 1799. In the 1830s, this town hosted the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad, the Winchester & Potomac Railroad, and the Chesapeake & Ohio Canal.
Before the war, John Brown's raid was a key event in the history of Harper's Ferry as his band of abolitionists attempted to seize the weapons at the armory to fight a guerrilla war in the south to free slaves. Once the war started the Federal troops destroyed the Harper's Ferry armory and weapons manufacturing machinery.
During the war, the town changed hands 8 times, leaving much of the area in ruins. One key battle in September 1862 left 12,500 Union prisoners in the hands of Stonewall Jackson, allowing his forces to join the battle at nearby Antietam and prevent an even worse defeat.
Today Harper's Ferry National Park is a popular tourist destination. It offers a unique historic village with shops and restaurants alongside historic buildings and ruins, all in a beautiful scenic location.
Parking fee for vehicles in the lower town is $6, but you can leave your car at the park headquarters outside of town and ride the bus. The first time I visited, the town lots were full, but the second time in the winter there were several spots available. The battlefields are located outside of the central, historic town and have plenty of parking.
In July 1859 John Brown, two of his sons, and others met in Maryland about seven miles from Harpers Ferry to begin creating an army and drafting plans to attack Harpers Ferry. They intended to seize the 100,000 rifles at he armory, then use them to arm lsaves throughout Virginia. On October 16, 1859, Brown and his 21-man "Provisional Army of the United States" took over the US Armory and Arsenal at Harpers Ferry in an effort to create an uprising among the slaves. Militia units and federal troops responded from surrounding areas, some led by future Confederate leaders Robert E. Lee and JEB Stuart. For the next two days several of John Brown's raiders along with numerous townspeople were killed as the raiders were gradually pushed from the Armory and Arsenal into the small firehouse in the far corner of town. Finally, on the morning of October 18th, twelve US Marines broke down the door of the Armory's firehouse, capturing Brown and the remaining raiders. In all, 17 people died including 10 of Brown's men.
The 45-minute trial took place on November 2nd 1856, as Brown was charged with murder, conspiring slaves to rebel, and treason against the state of Virginia. He was sentenced to a public execution that took place on December 2nd, and was attending by VMI cadets led by Major Thomas J. "Stonewall" Jackson. John Wilkes Booth also witnessed the execution.
It is said that the John Brown's failed raid raised tensions between the North and South the led to secession and the American Civil War.
Shenandoah River and Valley
The Shenandoah River runs 150 miles through western Virginia from Port Republic into the Potomac at Harpers Ferry. The lowest 20 miles of the river are in West Virginia, while the rest of the river and its tributaries flow through Virginia. Around Front Royal, the Shenandoah is famous for Canoeing and the city of Front Royal was named by the Virginia legislature as the Canoeing Capital of Virginia.
The Shenandoah River Valley is bound to the east by the Blue Ridge Mountains, to the west by the eastern front of the Ridge-and-valley Appalachians, the town of Roanoke in the south and Harpers Ferry in the north. Some of the key cities in the valley include Staunton, Harrisonburg, Winchester, Lexington, Waynesboro, and Front Royal.
During the Civil War the Shenandoah Valley a key agricultural region for the Confederacy was used as an attack route for Confederate raids on Maryland, Washington and Pennsylvania; because of this strategic importance it was the scene of three major campaigns.
Over half of the land int he valley is used for farming and ranching. This is Virginia's top livestock region, as is apparent by the huge horse farms you'll see when driving through the area.
Downriver Canoe Company, along with several competitors, offers canoe trips on the Shenandoah River, just outside of the Shenandoah National Park. The Downriver Company is located near the northern end of the park in the town of Bentonville, just 10 miles south of Front Royal, off US 340. We did a 7 1/2 mile trip from a starting point called "Burners Ford." As soon as you enter the water you encounter a set of Category I rapids... though small, they really surprised us and caused some difficulty and wet feet. At about halfway, you will hit a set of Category II rapids that you will hear long before you see. If you follow the Company's guidance and stay left, these will be exciting, but uneventful. Unfortunately, after these Cat IIs, the river is very calm and it offers no real challenges. The last mile or two gets almost boring as you have to paddle pretty hard to move at a decent speed.
Throughout our trip, we saw dozens of turtles sunning on partially submerged logs, as well as a lot of fish. We also encountered some geese and a few farmer's cows who decided to enter the water just as we were going by...
Cost per canoe is $39.00. It is enjoyable, especially for beginners, but the end of the trip is slow and somewhat boring.
Shenandoah National Park
When in Winchester, be sure to make the 30-minute side trip to Skyline Drive at Shenandoah National Park. The cost is $10 per car for one week of unlimited entry and exit. The feature of the park is Skyline Drive, a twisty, turny two-lane road that follows the ridge of the mountains providing countless breathtaking views to the east and west, along with wildlife, hiking trails, falls, and a few rest areas with snacks and souvenirs.
Shenandoah National Park is a 105 mile long park that sits in Western Virginia between Interstate 66 to the north and I-64 to the south. The park covers almost 200,000 acres of unspoiled wilderness, with scenic, winding Skyline Drive running through the middle. Most of Skyline Drive is atop the ridges and has dozens of beautiful overlooks, quiet picnic areas, and peaceful hikes.
Skyline drive is the centerpiece of Shenandoah National Park. It is controlled-access, meaning only vehicles which pay the $10 fee may enter. Though the price seems steep, it greatly limits the numbers of vehicles on this scenic and historic route. The 105 mile long roadway, running northeast to southwest has only four entrances, from north to south: Dickey Ridge off US Highway 340, Thornton Gap from US 211, Swift Run Gap at US 33, and Rockfish Gap at US 250 and Interstate 64.
Skyline Drive is packed with overlooks, gaps, and picnic areas announced with fanciful names such as Bearfence Mountain, Little Stony Man, and Hogwallow. You will be hard pressed to find a 1/4 mile stretch with no pull-off areas. Food and gas are a little more difficult to find... the drive has about 5 areas with food and only 2 with gasoline. You may need to venture off the parkway to get necessities.
Old Town Winchester
While Winchester has grown to some 25,000 people, the Old Town area is still a quaint small town that has lots of history and numerous businesses in focused on a small, old fashioned pedestrian mall. While the Loudoun Street Mall is the focus of Old Town, this area covers a four by four block area bordered by Washington, Fairfax, Clifford and Kent Streets.
This are has four museums, nine churches, and businesses employing about 1800 people.
Old Town has 210 parking spaces in lots, 400 on-street metered spaces, and 1,242 parking spaces in the three garages (with a fourth garage to be constructed).
Civil War history of Winchester
The Shenandoah Valley was a crucial battleground early in the American Civil War, and Winchester, at the most accessible point of the valley, was the scene of numerous major battles and smaller skirmishes from 1861 to 1864. The more significant battles include the First Battle of Kernstown and the First Battle of Winchester in 1862, the Second Battle of Winchester in 1863, and the Second Battle of Kernstown and the Third Battle of Winchester in 1864. In all the town is said to have changed hands some
The battles took place all around town and are marked by various historical signs. Some of these areas include Fort Jackson, Fort Alabama, Fort Collier, Louisiana Heights, and Bower's Hill. Jubal Early Drive runs south of downtown Winchester, along the central location for many of the battles. The Old Court House in downtown was used as a field hospital, and the Stonewall Jackson HQ stands on North Braddock Street. The Winchester National Cemetery holds the remains of over 5,000 Civil War dead, and it has numerous monuments dedicated to units that fought in the war.
Winchester's George Washington era history
The Virginia House of Burgesses chartered Winchester (as Frederick Town) in 1750, and George Washington arrived soon after to help survey the town's lands for England's Lord Fairfax. When General Edward Braddock crossed through Winchester on the way to Fort Duquesne in the French and Indian War, Washington joined the expedition as he was very familiar with the local lands; he became Braddock's aide-de-camp. In 1756 Washington constructed Fort Loudoun on about one acre of downtown Winchester on present-day Loudoun Street. Fort Loudoun was manned until the start of the Revolutionary War. Later during the French and Indian War (in 1758) Colonel George Washington was elected as a representative to the state's House of Burgesses.
Years later, during the Revolutionary War, the same House of Burgesses chose local resident and Washington's French and Indian War colleague Daniel Morgan to raise a company of militia to support Washington's Siege of Boston. Morgan's Sharpshooters assembled in Winchester on July 1775 and marched to Boston in 21 days. Later Morgan was part of the disastrous Battle of Quebec where he and most of the Colonial force were captured and imprisoned for more than a year. After his release, Morgan was promoted to Colonel and he took part in numerous significant battles of the Revolution including Saratoga, Freeman's Farm, and Bemis Heights. after some time off from the war, he returned, was promoted to Brigadier General, and engineered the brilliant tactical victory over British Colonel Banastre Tarleton in the battle of Cowpens, capturing or killing almost all of Tarelton's 1,100 man unit, while suffering only 25 killed.
Historic sites related to Washington and Morgan in Winchester include the Adam Kurtz House (called "Washington's Headquarters") and a lot with a historic plaque designating it Washington's lot. Daniel Morgan Middle School stands today in Winchester and Morgan's mansion--called Saratoga-- stands in nearby Boyce, VA. There are also various streets named after this era including Washington, Morgan, Loudoun, Braddock, Monmouth and Fairfax Streets.
Winchester's Pedestrian Mall
Central Winchester has a great Pedestrian Mall the runs perhaps three blocks in the heart of the historical city center. On Loudoun Street it is completely blocked off two traffic, but cars are allowed on some of the side streets that are partially pedestrianized. This is the core business district of the historic area and it has numerous local restaurants, bars, shops, and other stores that are generally not national chains. To make up for the parking lost on this street, the city has erected at least three large garages all around the pedestrian mall.
I was surprised to read that the Pedestrian Mall was created in 1974, and this was Virginia's first pedestrian mall.
During our visit, we fell in love with this part of town. We stayed at the Washington Hotel nearby, ate at Brewbakers Restaurant, had drinks at the V2 Piano Bar, and had breakfast the next day runs outside of the Pedestrian Mall at the Piccadilly Grill. We also stopped by a few of the historic sites here, particularly the Old Court House.
Winchester's Old Court House & Feltner Building
The historic Winchester Court House preexists the Civil War, but two previous court houses also share in the town's history.
The first court house was constructed in 1741, and is considered the first courthouse ever constructed beyond the Blue Ridge mountains.
The second court house was built on this site in 1758, and it was here that George Washington was first elected to public office--Virginia's House of Burgesses.
The present court house was built in 1840 to serve the citizens of Winchester and Frederick County. This 1840 courthouse served as a prison and hospital during the Civil War. It served as the main courthouse until 1984 when the Frederick-Winchester Judicial Center opened. This site continued to be used for Frederick County meetings and offices until 1995, when city leaders decided the courthouse should be renovated and turned into a Civil War museum. The Old Court House Civil War Museum opened in 2003 and it houses numerous exhibits featuring writings by Civil War soldiers soldiers as well as some 3,000 artifacts of the war, ranging from buttons to cannonballs.
In front of the Court House is a statue that is the town's Civil War Monument.
The Feltner Building stands right beside the Court House and also has some interesting history. Most of the buildings here were constructed in the 1830s and 1840s, and they housed a local tavern, the local newspaper, and the county records storage room.
Glen Burnie Historic House - Highly Recommended
This is the home of Colonel James Wood, who settled here early in the 1700's and donated portions of his homestead to establish Winchester in 1744. The Glen Burnie site is now part of the Museum of the Shenandoah Complex, which includeds the house and informal gardens located on 6 acres. The 18th Century home is furnished with 18th and 19th century antiques. The paintings and decorative objects in the home are owned by Julian Wood Glass Jr. Sections of this Georgian red brick house date to 1794.
After obtaining your admission ticket take advantage of the small exhibition that features an exact scale replica of the house and a video.
The tour of the house is docent led and the gardens tours are self-guided. Wander through the garden and enjoy statuary and fountains.
The site was opened in 1997. It is a great addition to the attractions in Winchester.
When we took the tour I was impressed by the quality of the furniture and the art work that is housed there. You can probably spend about 2 hours looking at the house and the garden. There is a rose garden here that is lovely.
Glen Burnie is open March through November, Tuesday through Sunday 10 to 4.
Admission is $8.00 for an adult, $6.00 Students and Seniors.

Museum of the Shenandoah Highly Recommended
The Museum of the Shenandoah and Glen Burnie are located on the same campus. The newly completed Museum is open year round.
This complex offers a tour of a 18th Century historic house, six acres of beautiful garden and a museum that holds two spectacular collections of art and glassware.
This is a first class venue and certainly something not to be missed when travel plans include a visit to Winchester.
The attached web address really offers a great presentation of this complex.

Old Town Winchester
I spent a minimal amount of time in Old Town Winchester, the downtown of this 24,000-person town, and I know I would like to spend more time here next time I visit. Winchester has some beautiful buildings and streets; there's a pedestrian mall, the Handle Library, a big apple, the City Hall, and some very beautiful churches. Winchester is a rather historic town; it was the site of a Civil War battle, and has some relatively-aged buildings, most from the early 1900's.

Hill High Farms Pumpkin Patch
The Pumpkin Patch is the main attraction of Hill High Farms. Each fall, pumpkins are harvested and often used by American families at Halloween. Visitors at the pumpkin patch can buy pumpkins at the main farm, or take a tractor ride out to pick their own pumpkins. Pumpkins abound; throughout Hill High Farms, you'll see plenty of orange.

Marker-Miller Orchards Farm Market
Marker-Miller Orchards is another pick-your-own apple orchard. We did not do PYO here, we only went inside its large farm market. The market sells various produce (apples, peppers, peaches, etc), apple cider, donuts, cheese, pies, wine tasting, jams, etc. Marker-Miller also has pick your own peaches during July and August. PYO apples are $10.00 for half a bushel. You can also find pumpkins and take wagon rides on the farm. The Marker-Miller Orchard is considerably larger than the one at Hill High Farms.

Earlier this year before the three major equipment-leasing companies formed a gray chassis pool in Los Angeles-Long Beach, Direct ChassisLink Inc. was positioning 300 chassis into a marine terminal in Long Beach while Flexi-Van Leasing was pulling 280 of them out of the same facility. Thanks to the gray, or neutral chassis pool that went into operation on Mach 1, that type of inefficiency has very quickly become a thing of the past.

New Air Monitoring Data Shows Lowest Levels of Diesel Exhaust Around Port of Los Angeles Since Collection of Data Began
25 Mar 2015
APL issued an upbeat customer advisory Wednesday about conditions at Los Angeles-Long Beach, saying that while many ships remain at anchor off the coast, the pace of cargo handling is noticeably picking up.
24 Mar 2015
Recognizing the impact that port congestion is having on the ability of marine terminals to work container ships, the Long Beach Harbor Commission has extended a cap it had placed on dockage fees charged to shipping lines until June 30.
24 Mar 2015
International Longshore and Warehouse Union Local 13 President Bobby Olvera told the Long Beach Harbor Commission that dockworkers are committed to clearing out the worst container backlog to hit the Southern California ports in more than a decade, and wants to see the reputation of the ports restored.
23 Mar 2015
The ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach are partnering with cargo interests, terminal operators, harbor truckers and the railroads to hasten the day when marine terminals become transit facilities rather than storage sites for containers.
22 Mar 2015
Signs that the container logjam in Southern California is beginning to break are showing up on the truck spot market, as deconsolidated loads come up for grabs at West Coast warehouses.
20 Mar 2015
The daily vessel report Friday from the Marine Exchange of Southern California demonstrates that the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach are making progress in digging out from the congestion they experienced in recent months, but they still have a long way to go.
20 Mar 2015
Representatives from the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach visit Washington, D.C., every year around this time to meet with legislators, shippers and federal agencies, but their fly-in earlier this week was particularly pointed.
19 Mar 2015
The announcement last week by carrier alliances that beginning in late March they will deploy three new all-water services from Asia to the East Coast through the Panama Canal was a dagger to the hearts of West Coast ports besieged by congestion and labor problems.
17 Mar 2015
Container volumes in Los Angeles and Long Beach plummeted in February as the ports faced another month of severe congestion and labor problems.
16 Mar 2015
The tentative West Coast waterfront contract that the International Longshore and Warehouse Union will vote on next month includes plenty of perks for the union and could revolutionize how day-to-day disputes on the waterfront are adjudicated.
16 Mar 2015
The average ship turnaround time at the Los Angeles-Long Beach port complex in the fourth quarter was twice that experienced by carriers in August, with the congestion during the three month period costing carriers an estimated $150 million, or $1.5 million per weekly service, according to analysis by Drewry.

Here, here! America needs to create better security measures, some are outdated and utterly useless.
First, I'm sick of taking my shoes off every time I go through security, can be come up with a better solution?
Second, from what I see, the people working in airport security really don't give a crap. They're performing routine task and look like they need consistent coffee breaks. And when they do find something interesting (usually a belt buckles setting off the alarm), they act like something sensational is happening.
Yes, we need tight airport security, but it needs to be more professional and not lax. I feel like I'm walking through a high-school metal detector when flying to across the States or to Europe.
I wish we could emulate the Israeli airport security system, but here's what their chief of security said:
"The way things work in the United States is 180 degrees opposite to the way things work in Israel," said Yuval Bezherano, an executive at an Israeli consulting firm that designs airport security systems. "Adopting the full Israeli system won't work, because of costs, time and legal differences."
As the French say, quel dommage!

I worked at McKesson as a contractor (less than a year)
McKesson has wonderful people working there. They are cheerful, helpful and flexible. They made my work experience a fabulous one and I wish I could still be there!
There was nothing I didn't like about the company, except navigating through their recruiting department was a huge challenge. It seems if they have such a large population to serve, that's one area that could be tightened up quite a bit.

benefits do not, pay rent, or cover the expenses involved in just showing up every day.
A "pro" might be health insurance, but as a major player in the industry the health coverage offered has been reduced over the years and is still a MAJOR burden for many employees.Cons
Lack of flexibility which has impacted the bottom line. Low wages in relation to the local economy,
Puget Sound is a very expensive, which McKesson has never recognized. Poor management at local
level. Inadequate resources to do the job properly, lack of material support in facility. Favoritism and politics are rampant and damaging to the workplace environment.Advice to ManagementAdvice
I do not believe management is open for advice at least on the upper levels. Local management deals
in such things as what to have at the company picnic, how to prompt workers to greater production
with trinkets, t-shirts and meaningless incentives, who works when, where and on what day. Upper
management relies on bean counters and long established company policies. There is little or no
flexibility or creativity in the decision making process. This eliminates the possibility of improvements
and lowers the possibilities of even greater profits. It is the people making less than $20 an hour who
make it possible for executives to make tens of millions of dollars and these peole are under
recognized and rewarded. The business plan that McKesson uses might be called "Plantation".Doesn't RecommendNeutral OutlookDisapproves of CEO

The company overall is an a wonderful company. McKesson as a parent company is great. The benefits are great and the compensation is competitive at initial entrance into the workforce.Cons
The Charlotte office has a lot off issues. The turn-over rate is very high. Management is not supportive of career growth or development. Management plays favorites and those are the only people who get promoted. Some managers will block your ability to interview elsewhere to grow within the company. Executive management is aware of the low employee morale and has yet to place anything into action. Management would rather keep everything under wraps so it makes things seem better than they are. HR has been notified of issues multiple times by multiple employees are employees were told to "stop taking things so seriously." So if you want to work in an abusive, micro-managing environment, then the Charlotte office is for you.Advice to ManagementAdvice
When you stop being a leader, your employees do not believe in you anymore. Being selfish to your own department and not letting employees explore other opportunities within the company hurts McKesson as a whole. If nothing changes, more and more people will leave.Doesn't RecommendNegative OutlookApproves of CEO

Shaun and Danielle were super friendly and welcoming! They answered our texts promptly while we were on our way there. Danielle gave us a number of recommendations for things to do during our stay.
Shaun and Danielle are very approachable and sociable, although our itinerary didn't allow us much time to enjoy more of their company.
Their house is amazing and is located very close to a main road, lots of amenities within walking distance or a short drive.
The view from their rooftop is stunning. Breakfast was plentiful and offered healthy varieties. The main guest bedroom has AC which was very cool . . . hehehe
Super friendly. Super accommodating. Beautiful home! And such an awesome dog! We had a great stay and felt at home immediately. We definitely recommend staying here and will be back next time we're in Kelowna!
It was a lovely experience. The townhouse and room were beautiful. The hosts were awesome. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this Airbnb.
We had a wonderful experience at Fell House!! Danielle, Shaun and Von were there to greet us and made us feel at home immediately! Their home is gorgeous with so much space you can be as social or private as you wish! Danielle gave us so many awesome suggestions and tips for things to see and do in the area which was so helpful! The breakfast provided in the mornings was beautifully laid out and a welcome treat to get the day started. Fell House is the perfect home away from home! Thank you so much for your hospitality!!
Shaun and Danielle are absolutely amazing. The room was great and the rooftop patio was perfect for a glass of Kelowna's wine at night. The breakfast was delicious!!! If I go back to Kelowna definitely I'll stay with them!!!!
It's our first airbnb experience and we were glad we found Shaun and Danielle's place to stay. "The Fell Place" gave us lots of fell about home and old friends. If airbnb can be this great and we will stay bnb forever. Shuan and Danielle Rockkkk!!! AirSnD (Shaun and Danielle) for sure is a signature place to stay in Kelowna.
Shaun and Danielle were superb and very relaxed hosts. They have a lovely clean home with a spectacular roof terrace and parking immediately outside. Their dog took a little longer than most to warm to my boyfriend but the impressive breakfast helped him get over it.
Amazing host! Shaun and Danielle were extremely friendly. The location is great and there's Street parking out front. Would definitely stay there again if I am in Kelowna.
Shaun and Danielle are very friendly people and hosts. They have a really nice home with a spectacular rooftop terrace where we sat one night. The breakfast and everything else was just perfectly. We would definitely recommend their place and stay there again.
It was just like the photos. Clean and comfortable. Shaun and Danielle were both really nice hosts. Great first airbnb experience!

Customers Reviews
"This is my third purchase and I've loved them all. I searched for a photo of my dad holding my daughter and couldn't find one. But you were able to pull two photos seamlessly together and gave me exactly what I searched for and couldn't find on my own!"
-- Jackie R.
"I have ordered a number of items from Picturesongold and have been pleased. In one instance, there was an error with my order but they graciously corrected the mistake and did so in a timely manner. They have an item that I love--the Rembrandt police charm. I hope they continue to carry this item and continue to show their support for public safety. I will continue to purchase from this establishment and encourage others to do the same"
-- Karen
"I am so excited and pleased with the new corrected photo engraved dog tag I received today!! It is absolutely beautiful, crystal clear and vibrant colors.
As I told you when I placed my order, my son is deploying to Iraq in January and requested 'military' items for Christmas. I thought, what would be more appropriate than an engraved dog tag of the two women he loves most; his mother and his brand new wife who is also deploying in January to Kuwait.
When I got the first dog tag, I was disappointed when I found a mistake, but you were wonderfully understanding when I phoned. You informed me to send it back to be re-done, and you turned it back around to me in less than one week. That is exemplary and commendable customer service, especially with the holiday rush.
Feel free to use my comments on your site if you wish, and also the two pictures and how they were merged together to make it appear as though we were together in one photo. I will highly recommend PicturesOnGold.com !!"
-- Barbara C.
"Nice bracelet and fast shipment. Wish the lettering was larger. Almost too small to read."
-- Karen
"I just received the fire fighter watch I ordered for my boyfriend's graduation, and it is beautiful! It is simply stunning and it arrived so quickly! Thank you so much, I can't wait to order from you again for gifts for my whole family!"
-- Sarah
"I ordered 6 pendants for me and my 5 sisters in memory of my Mom. I ordered them in 14K and they were beautiful. I also ordered a man's keychain for my Dad to carry with him, but I could not afford it in 14K, so I ordered it in Sterling Silver. The picture quality was not good. I am not sure if it was because it was on the Sterling Silver or if it was because the picture size was a little bigger then the pendants. Unfortunatly you cannot return picture jewelry so "Live and Learn".
Daniel was very kind in customer service. Thank you Daniel!"
-- Jane
"Just wanted to say thank you once again for a great product. This is the second time I have purchased from you and have been in awe of the finished product. After the first purchase I felt comfortable enough to order again and send it right to my mother in law without seeing it. Keep up the great work. Thank you"
-- Dorothy
"I recently ordered a piece of your Michael Jackson Tribute Jewelry as a birthday gift for my daughter. The service was excellent! It arrived promptly and we were so thrilled with it that we ordered another piece, and that arrived even faster! Both pieces are so cute. Thank you for offering such adorable MJ items!!!!!"
-- Julia
"My children purchased a photo engraving for me on silver of my Yellow Lab for Christmas. This is one of the most wonderful presents I have ever received and I will cherish this long after she has passed on. Thank you!"
-- Helen B.
"Hi there!
I just received the pocket watch I ordered for my husband for our first Christmas together. It looks amazing, you did such a lovely job! :)
Thanks so much..."

Motor vehicles became an important part of our lives simply because they aren't just competent at transporting us from point A to point B, they as well do that with too much convenience on our part and that's all because of the suspension system. The Honda Wagovan control arm is among the most significant components of your suspension which functions as a well performing linkage between the wheels and your ride's framework.
By letting the down and up movement of the wheels while keeping it from roaming backward and forward, the control arms are able to keep up correct wheel alignment, hence decreasing tire wear and giving you favorable handling. Though they are crafted durable enough, Honda Wagovan control arms can also get damaged due to old age and frequent use or they might get bowed when in road mishaps, leaving you short of top quality replacement. To determine if there's a damaged control arm in your Honda Wagovan, test drive your automobile and pay attention to shaking as well as peculiar noise from the steering; also discover how it runs on straight lines to notice if the wheels are moving too much.
In case you discover one or some of these symptoms, then its time to get a replacement Honda Wagovan control arm here at Parts Train. This online shop keeps its working relationship with respected companies including AC Delco, Raybestos, and OES Genuine this means you are ensured of premium quality automotive products provided at reasonable prices.

Haven't been doing any quilting!
Well I haven't been doing any quilting for the last few weeks injured my shoulder and it is taking sometime to heal..so I really haven't been doing to much....
That is messed up -- how did you hurt your shoulder? (Were you by chance swinging a golf club?!!!?
I have not been quilting either. I have been so busy with work. Right now I'm in Honolulu. No not as exciting as it sounds when you are in a hotel room or law firm the entire time...
I was rather depressed for a bit about not being able to do any quilting, but I decided to "accept my fate" and suck it up and just do the work. When I changed my attitude and stopped even thinking about finding time to do anything that I wanted to do for the next few months, it wasn't so bad. (I figure Some people with kids go 18 years w/out doing anything they want -- LOL -- so a few months for me is not so bad. I guess.)
I do miss the quilting though and hope to get back to it soon. I've not even had much time to check in here.
Hope your shoulder heals red. The quilts need to be made!
Sorry about your shoulder injury Red. Hope it heals really fast for you.
I haven't done any quilting either this summer. I've watched my three grandsons while their mother works. They are 11, 9 and 5, so they still need a keen eye cast on them.LOL
School starts back next Monday, 8/27, so I'm looking forward to more quilting time for me then. WooooooHooooo!!!
Sorry about your shoulder Red.Hope it's better soon.
I havn't done any sewing of any kind lately,it's just too darn hot and humid,plus i also have the GK'S for the summer.School starts monday,but then i'm also on standby for GGK #3.due sept 1st.
Right now my shoulder is kiling me...I injured it MOVING FURNITURE lol........I tore the muscle in my shoulder and
neck! DGS keeps asking me when I am going to knit him a sweater LOL.....The swelling is unbelievable and pain...
I feel like the Hunchback of Notre Dame LOL

I just came across this story and it's fascinating to me that a 10 or 12 year old kid breaks into a Bank of America branch with his bike. What is the world coming to?
Then again, I guess it's not that surprising since there are other things occurring like a 5 year old getting a hold of his dad's gun and shooting him.

I always LOVED that car, and yes, I'm old enough for it to be the definitive Batmobile.
I'd love to pull a Bat-turn on I-10 one day.........again, but in that car rather than my own.
It's the definitive Batmobile to me also. I was old enough to still enjoy the (first rounds of) re-runs, and see it in an "antique" auto museum close to the area I grew up. I remember making a point of touching it, to see if it was a real car. Ah, the good old days.

Mars Grapes
sandyjmacMay 15, 2012
I live in VA and i have a three year old Mars grape vine. I always get lots of leaves and it looks like it is growing very well. Between year 1 and year 2 i just let it do it is thing, no pruning. Last year, i pruned around November when all the leaves were gone. I finally have little grape buds, however they look like the same size for about a month straight, no real growth. is that normal, or is there something wrong?
the buds are about the size of a crumb of cake.

Thanks much, your a life saver!
I think I have a defective unit mine is only a single stage meaning i can either have it heat, or cool but can't have a heat source and cooling source wired up at once.
from the directions if I understand it correctly when in settings menu "CA= temperature" well my Ca only goes from -7 to 7 what kind of crap is that?
I am going to be using this unit for my keezer so I need the cooling part to function and right now its now.
its to bad we don't have a clear set of instruction for an american to use in this thread some where.
Which one did you buy?
I have this controller:
Here is how mine works
I press and hold the "S" button for 3 seconds and the indicator changes to F1, release the "S" and use the arrow keys to toggle through F1, F2, F3 and F4
F1 = Temperature set value in Celsius
F2 = Difference set value (this is the amount the temp needs to change before the unit activates the heating/cooling circuit)
F3 = Compressor Delay Time (I set mine to 10 minutes)
F4 = Temperature calibration value (I left this at zero)
once you get to the F value you need to change, press and hold the "S" button while simultaneously hitting the up and down arrows, when you get the value you want, release the "S" button. You can then hit the up and down arrows to select another F value and adjust the same way. When everything is the way you want it, press the power button (the one directly above the "S") to save the settings
ok, so it just looks like I had no idea how to set this thing up.. lol
holy crap yeah so I was making things way more complicated then they needed to be.
I set my CA back to 0
from the main menu where it shows the actually temperature I pressed "SET" the the up and down arrows and guess what it worked like it should, in the Cool setting I set it to 10 then grabbed the probe and when it got warmer than 10 it kicked on my shop light I had plugged in.

Microsoft 'Hut' Opens Outside Seattle Apple Store 262
from the competition-on-your-doorstep dept.

On October 20th, Microsoft will open its 14th store in Seattle's popular University Village shopping center...
Why do they need 14 stores in one shopping center?
Microsoft can have a store at every corner of every street in the world and I'd still avoid them like the plague.
I lost respect for them completely in 1997 (cratered by their previous blunders), so it'd be on par with walking into Walmart.
In fact, both have the same feel.
Apple may not have a living room console, but they've got the handheld market.
Absolutely. Clearly the serious gamers have given up on Modern Warfare 3 and Gears of War and have moved to Angry Birds.
It's revolutionary!!
Seriously, is it really impossible for an Apple fan to admit that there's one thing that Apple does not do better than Microsoft. So much so that they won't even recognize that playing a game on an XBox360 and high definition TV and surround sound system is maybe a slightly better experience than playing the same game on an iPhone? Or even admit that you cannot play Gears of War or Modern Warfare 3 on the iPhone?
I can hear it already..."Yeah? Yeah? Well, Apple sold more iPhones than Microsoft sold XBox360s so clearly that means Apple is superior in every way. And you can't make a call with your XBox, so that means iPhone is a superior gaming platform."
Hey, I'm getting good at this...
The universe seems neither benign nor hostile, merely indifferent. -- Sagan

Oh, and I don't suppose that not liking the GOP's a valid reason for voting for Obama (who during his world tour managed to visit *gasp!* 57 U.S. states, a feat never accomplished by any presidential candidate in history). To say that your opinions remain unsubstantiated would be a gross understatement. Please, for the love of God Almighty, don't jump to conclusions simply because you're read something both catchy and demeaning regarding Republicans; it's not like they're responsible for ALL the wrongs you've been "seeing" so far, y'know.
As for me, I'm rooting for McCain/Palin, if even just for the Alaska guv'nor's sake. As for McCain... Better the devil you know than the devil you don't, as they say.

Through his personal interest in World War I, George S. Tate finds deeper meaning of D&C Section 138. Remembering the circumstances of 1918—the war, pandemic flu, and Joseph F. Smith's loss of a son—makes the assurance of divine love and ultimate redemption found in D&C 138 more poignant.

The tragic murder of Joseph Smith and his brother Hyrum in June 1844 sent shockwaves through Nauvoo. Despair and bewilderment combined with pervasive sorrow as the reality of the calamity settled over the city. Some, fearing that the internal dissension that had contributed to the Prophet's death would intensify, must have wondered whether the Church could survive. A visitor to Nauvoo a few months later, however, would have encountered not chaos and confusion, but harmony and optimism. He would have seen the Saints, under new leadership, purposefully pushing forward the "measures" of their deceased prophet with more energy and intensity that even before. What had happened to the crisis? How had potential disaster been avoided John Fullmer's view, Joseph Smith had prepared for his death. What actually occurred in succession—and why—has been much discussed but little understood.

Can West Virginia make a title run?
The Mountaineers' offense should be elite; can the defense keep up?
ESPN Insider's "20 teams that can win it all" series is previewing each of the top 20 teams in Brian Fremeau's five-year program metric, with the help of ESPN's Stats & Information group (for a full explanation and links to all of the previews as they are published, click here). This is the entry for West Virginia.
On the surface, the initial season in Dana Holgorsen's tenure as the West Virginia Mountaineers head coach lived up to expectations. His team won 10 games and a share of the Big East championship, and topped off the 2011 campaign with a 70-33 win over the Clemson Tigers in the Orange Bowl.
As great as those accomplishments are, the season in some ways wasn't as impressive as it looks at first glance. The LSU Tigers crushed the Mountaineers by a 47-21 score and then West Virginia ended up on the wrong end of a 49-23 thrashing on the road against the Syracuse Orange. The Mountaineers also lost to a mediocre Louisville Cardinals squad two weeks after that, and won their last three Big East games by a total of seven points.
In order to get West Virginia to BCS title game status, Holgorsen will need to lead a team more like the one that closed out the 2011 season rather than the one that struggled through much of the year.
So what are the odds that he will be able to achieve this goal? Let's take a look at some of the Mountaineers' pros and cons to find out.

Mark of the Ninja
Best ninja game since Tenchu series.
- Back To:
- Board List
- Topic List
- Topic Archived
For me, being a ninja was always about stealth ever since I first experienced Tenchu: Stealth Assassins. This game has it's own style and feel to it yet it pays homage to the stealth genre.
I've been waiting for a ninja stealth game like this for awhile now. The last decent ninja stealth game was Tenchu Z imo. While other games like the Shinobi series and the Ninja Gaiden series are fun action filled adventures in there own right, they never really appealed to me to the degree of the stealth based games.
It's nice to see a game company do something a little different in a 3D dominate game industry. The 2D idea was brilliant. Reminded me a bit of how Castlevania: Symphony of The Night was such a hit back on PS1 when everything was just starting to move into the 3D era, albeit this game is more for a niche crowd.
Hopefully the success of this game will bring more sequels along in the future.
Kudos to these developers =)
Faith is the substance of things hoped for but not seen.
100% agree with you here.
I have been a huge fan of Tenchu ever since the original came out in 1998. But, Mark of the Ninja truly does rival it, and dare I say surpass it, as hands-down the best ninja game ever in my book.
I literally feel like begging Klei to make a sequel! This masterpiece deserves one.
I agree, this game is fantastic.
Pittsburgh Penguins fan for 25 years.
My feelings exactly.
The Tenchu series needs more love. And a new sequel.
Mark of the Ninja scratches that itch sooooooo well.
I want another Tenchu game. The last good one was Wrath of Heaven. That was a long time ago

Brutish tempers curbed by ten to twenty lashes.
Agreed. I have been hoping for a new Tenchu game for ages. Honestly, it is incredible to me how badly the Tenchu IP has been mismanaged by From Software and why they are not focusing more on it.
In the meantime, thank goodness for Mark of the Ninja and Klei. Hopefully, Klei will make a Ninja 2!

are you not counting Tenchu Z for some reason?
It took hundreds to kill me, but I killed humans by the THOUSANDS!!! Look at me!!! I am sublime!! I am the TRUE face of evil!!!
Tenchu Z was great. The Wii title stripped most of the original gameplay, and was too linear. Not to mention the god awful wiimote first person battle mechanic. Disgusting.
Tenchu needs better production value like Metal Gear and Splinter Cell series. Maybe there is little hope of a new one being announced at Tokyo Game Show.

Tenchu Z was awesome----definitely one of the better Tenchu games, despite it's faults, and it was a great step in taking the Tenchu series and gameplay in a good direction.
As much as I love Tenchu, now that I have played MotN, I am almost more wanting now a MotN sequel from Klei over a new Tenchu game
