No Hot Water for 90% of time spent
March 31, 2008
The villa was beautiful - setting great - so many great things but a 12 gallon/rusted out hot water heater for 8 people - NOT - shower drain didn't drain - son came home with infected toe from it - sink in bath and 1/2 bath downstairs -leaked water daily on tile floor - had to stand on towel - constantly calling maintenance - on FRIDAY before we left on sunday- they installed a new 50 gal. water heater - called for shuttle - sometimes it came - sometimes we had to walk - didn't know we would be "berated" on daily basis to listen to sales pitch to buy, buy, buy their time share living area downstairs needs a/c - only in bedrooms - our nightly gatherings were TOO HOT - we would not have used a/c during day as it was so pleasant and we spent day outside - but it needs it - bedrooms were fine with a/c - but little things like HOT WATER is major to everyone - kids/ladies and gentlemen language barrier difficult at times but overall i still gave it a grade of "A" -don't know if we return

Hola, Hola!!
Thank you for inquiry, your msg did not get lost...swamped here trying
to catch up from WONDERFUL vacation.
We had a FANTASTIC time (I was tempted to stay and get a job there!).
Villa was terrific (E3). The resort was everything as described. We
were able to get a cart as our villa was furthest away. We did
appreciate the cart as we were told they were for owners only.
Security got a laugh every time we drove by (see photo).
We had no problem with car service to/from airport(would recommend this
service to you as was $95 for 8 with one person van as opposed to VIP
two vans at $140). One of our group left early to go to St Martin and
she used VIP to return to airport.
Our maid (Christina) was fantastic...made the best eggs every morning.
We heard a few complaints from others (greasy eggs), but ours were
perfect!! Loved the picante sauce (we went through two bottles!).
Only negative, and rather minor in scheme of things...We had thought an
entrance to Ocean World was included (something thought we had read or
interpreted), but we were told that is not the case...maybe we
misunderstood. We did go to the VIP Ocean World party that was
advertised in daily paper as having sea lion/dolphin show. We were very
disappointed as this never materialized, it was only a Vegas review
which was nice, but not what we wanted to see.
We all loved the VIP restaurant. We would highly recommend the VIP for
every night of dining!! We did not care much for the Italian (probably
as we get such great Italian here in NE) or the main buffet. The
Oriental (Indochina?) was good. The buffet at VIP party was ok, not
greatest (we heard many complaints). As we did not go there for food
and knew it would not be gourmet, but because of VIP restaurant and
breakfast in villa, we were pleasantly surprised!
The spa was nice for a massage. I also had a manicure/pedicure as I did
not have time before leaving and found it to be ok, but better here at
We did a few ventures out into town and Sosua Beach which we had the
most fantastic fish lunch. This was a cute area, although shops all had
same "original" art and such with pushy shop owners. One night we went
to local dance bar with couple of "local" Canadian girls. This was
quite fun/amusing.
One of the girls would like to book same vacation with you for her,
sister and friends...I will give her your e-mail?
Many thanks!!
Hi Elena,
Everything is terrific so far, thank you very much! I have a question for you.. Have you ever used Oswald Tours. They are set up on the beach and to seem to be a lot cheaper than the resort tours. Have you any experience with them? Can they be trusted?
Any feedback would be helpful! We are ready to book again for next year! (smile)
Weather is terrific!

Finding a natural solution
by Dani Hurst
green your life, dani hurst, twist sponges, all-natural sponges, biodegradable sponges, plant-based sponges, green dish washing, dye-free sponges, twist loofah sponge, twist ravioli hemp scrubby, twist dish dumpling agave scrubber, twist
I want a green dish washing experience as much as the next greenista, but that doesn't mean my sponge has to be an unnatural neon green color. I never even considered switching sponges as a step toward greener dish washing until I discovered Twist. Nowadays, I'm scrubbing more sustainably with Twist's line of biodegradable, dye-free and all-natural sponges and scrubbies. Each sponge sports slightly different materials (cellulose, loofah, hemp, agave and bamboo to name a few), but they're all as effective as they are earth-friendly.
Thanks to dye-free cellulose on one side and hard-working loofah on the other (both all-natural), this versatile sponge pulls double duty. And if you feel your sponge needs a little cleaning of its own, simply drop it into boiling water or microwave it damp for 1 minute. Photo By Dani Hurst.
Loofah Sponge
Of all the Twist sponges I've tried, the Loofah Sponge is by far the most useful and versatile one. It features Twist's "naked sponge" on one side (dye-free cellulose) and a naturally tan scrubby loofah on the other; it's gentle when you need it, but it can get down and dirty if necessary. Because the sponge is white, I was worried that with use it would quickly become dingy, but I found that as long as you wring it out regularly, it will stay pristine longer.
Perfect for when you need a little muscle behind your sponge but don't want to scratch surfaces, this scrubby is made of all-natural hemp (an awesome renewable resource). This naturally brown scrubby is also good to use when dealing with spaghetti sauce or other really colorful foods to keep white sponges cleaner. Photo By Dani Hurst.
Ravioli Hemp Scrubby
Even though it is a somewhat controversial material, the fact remains that hemp (not to be confused with its hippie cousin, marijuana) is a durable, sustainable and versatile natural resource. This is why I was happy to see that Twist has incorporated hemp into one of its scrubbies. The Ravioli Hemp Scrubby is tough (but not too rough) on the outside and spongy on the inside, making it the perfect cleaning mate when you need a sturdy side kick that will help you get the job done without scraping up the crime scene. I also like to use this naturally brown scrubby when I'm washing dishes with spaghetti sauce or other highly colored foods to help preserve my white Loofah Sponge.
Replace that old plastic or metal scouring pad with this all-natural alternative. One of Twist's sponges wrapped in agave, this scrubber means business, so be sure to test it on a small corner of your dishes before you use it to prevent any unwanted scratches. Photo By Dani Hurst.
Dish Dumpling Agave Scrubber
This lil' guy may be cute, but he's also who you call when you need to break out the big guns. The Dish Dumpling is an all-natural and dye-free sponge sporting a coarse agave jacket. Meant as the natural alternative to metal or plastic scouring pads, this scrubber is tough on baked-on grime and crumbly leftovers. I don't use this scrubby as much as the others because the agave strands tend to fray a little with each use, but it is effective, especially as a natural replacement for plastic or copper scouring pads. If you're concerned that this scrubber will be too harsh on your dishes, just be sure to test it on a little corner before going to town.
Not only are Twist's sponges sustainable, but its packaging serves multiple purposes, too. It protects the integrity of each sponge and scrubby, and each also includes plans for making a cascading bird mobile or bird feeder. Making one of these mobiles or feeders is not going to save the planet, but if more companies thought this way, we might be a step or two closer. Photo By Dani Hurst.
Visit Twist's website to learn more about the company, all the sponges and scrubbies they offer, and where you can buy some of your own.

Marseilles, France was our first stop on new Carnival Breeze and it was a special one for us. When I think "France" I first think "Paris" then right after that, "romantic" but hardly ever "Marseilles". Still, we found it to be an eclectic mix of very old and very under-construction that made for a great day ashore.
We had no shore excursion planned so took a shuttle bus from the cruise pier ($12 per person round-trip) in to the center of Marseilles. Dropped off at what was probably a typical tourist stop, we wandered down the street past stores, café's and a whole lot of tourists.
Going off the beaten path a bit, still within sight of the busier tourist areas we found a little café, sampled a local beer, bought some French bath products to take home and called it a day.
The story could end right there and be a win for a port we had never been to before and might not make it back to again. But in the process of that short trip we created a memory that will live on with us always.
It will probably be referred to as "the day we spent in France, just walking the streets, having a good time", much like a couple much younger might have done in Paris, then recalled throughout their lives together with a great deal of fondness.
To be sure on the memory part, we bought things that might remind us of those we met and where we visited. Some French lavender lotion and spray essence recommended by a shopkeeper will surely take us back with just a spritz years from now. A tin advertising sign for the beer we shared, later pinned for all to see in our "Travel Beer" Pinterest board will bring memories of sitting on the sidewalk as merchants prepared their stores for a busy day.
It's was all very much a simple, wonderful memory created because one of the cruise industries newest, largest ships brought us here, allowing that memory to happen. Rated among all such memories, though, it ranks in the top ten easy.
This, to us, is very much a big part of what cruise vacations are all about.
Returning to Carnival Breeze, a Guy Fieri Burger, a Thirsty Frog Red beer and a nap made for a simple day that would live on far after the ship has left port.
It's all about memories. We know that from previous sailings and cherish those times to be recalled later; times that could never be repeated even if we wanted to.
First stop on this 12-day voyage: a win in anybody's book.

My God shall supply all you needs, according to His riches in glory — Philippians 4:19 (KJV)
I'm thinking that the above verse is being recalled by many Christians lately. I am familiar with the verse and for a very good reason I should be: my wife had it framed years ago and it is on the wall just inches above my computer monitor.
Honestly, I don't look at the verse enough nor do I constantly reflect on what it means. Until I have a pressing need. Like right now.
This one verse has been pulled out of context so many times that I'm sure that it's meaning has been skewed for many believers. I've heard people use it as a reason to get something from God, invoking a name it and claim it principle when uttering the verse.
Clearly, the apostle Paul was saying that our needs would be met, not our greediness. Even then, does it mean that all of our earthly needs will be met? Yes, but not always immediately nor in the manner we expect.
Food, shelter, bodily warmth and good health are some of the things we want, even expect in this life, but oftentimes we lack one or more of them. We should continue to ask God for the things we need, but also know that our character is built by being patient as well as trusting in Him.
In verse 12 of the chapter Paul said that he knew how to be abased and he knew how to abound. Clearly, if there was anyone in the Bible who suffered much and often had to wait for his needs to be met, then Paul is a prime example of that person.
Sometimes being without something we need, even a very important need, can help to develop our character which is meant to conform us to the image of Christ (Romans 8:29). We aren't necessarily thrilled to go through a difficult time, but we're required to go through them nonetheless.
Be patient, then, brothers, until the Lord's coming. See how the farmer waits for the land to yield its valuable crop and how patient he is for the autumn and spring rains. You too, be patient and stand firm, because the Lord's coming is near James — 5:7,8 (NIV)
We can get discouraged as we wait for God to respond, getting in our mind the idea that He doesn't care or isn't hearing us. Brethren, toss those thoughts away because your infernal enemy would have you think that way.
Instead, we should heed what Paul said in Philippians 4:8 (Amplified):
For the rest, brethren, whatever is true, whatever is worthy of reverence and is honorable and seemly, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely and lovable, whatever is kind and winsome and gracious, if there is any virtue and excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think on and weigh and take account of these things [fix your minds on them].
God knows your needs and what you need is already in His hands. Lovingly, God will dispense His gifts in the manner and portion that He sees fit. Thankfully, God already knows what we need and what is best for us.
Do your part by asking Him in faith.

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) -- A former top Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE: BRK-A ) (NYSE: BRK-B ) executive whom many investors expected to succeed Warren Buffett one day reportedly won't face any charges for the questionable trades he made shortly before resigning in 2011.
Attorney Barry Levine told The Wall Street Journal and The New York Times that the Securities and Exchange Commission told him Thursday that his client, David Sokol, won't be charged.
The attorney and Sokol were unavailable for comment Friday. An SEC spokesman declined comment.
Sokol bought nearly 100,000 Lubrizol shares in 2011 when he knew Lubrizol's board was discussing selling the specialty chemical company to Berkshire for $9 billion. Sokol had recommended Lubrizol to Buffett.
Sokol has denied any wrongdoing in his Lubrizol investment.
Buffett called Sokol's actions unethical and inexcusable.

The only concern I had was the massive cornice above my head, just out of the frame. I guess sometimes we take risks in the streets and the backcountry. I like to think they're calculated, and not reckless, but it's good to be realistic and explore all the scenarios of what could go wrong. I got the shot, and got out of there quick, and luckily no cornices came down.

Forest Insect and Disease Newsletter
Minnesota's Forest Pest First Detector Program
2011 marked the fourth year of Forest Pest First Detector workshops taught by the award-winning Minnesota Forest Pest First Detector training team, comprised of representatives from University of Minnesota Extension (UMnExt), the Minnesota Department of Agriculture (MDA), and the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR). Minnesota is the first state to use the National Plant Diagnostic Network (NPDN) to focus on detecting forest pests. Using a step-by-step process to identify signs and symptoms of invasive forest pests, the first year of workshops focused on identifying and reporting infestations of emerald ash borer (EAB). While continuing to emphasize EAB, training in subsequent years expanded its focus to other forest pests such as gypsy moth, bur oak blight, Asian long-horned beetle, thousand cankers disease, and mountain pine beetle.
UMnExt houses the database of Minnesota's First Detectors and directs calls from concerned citizens who think they've spotted a pest to a trained Minnesota First Detector. The First Detector can then determine if the call warrants a site visit. In addition, Minnesota First Detectors can contact the MDA themselves using the MDA's Arrest-the-Pest hotline at the first sign or symptom of EAB or other forest pests.
In the past three years, UMnExt referred 463 out of 1,229 calls regarding potential forest pests to First Detectors. In 2010, First Detectors volunteered 1,316 hours and traveled 7,733 miles, which resulted in a total public value of nearly $29,000. The discovery of EAB by a tree care worker in St. Paul in May, 2009 was a result of First Detector training, demonstrating the value of the Forest Pest First Detector program.
These popular workshops attracted 203 participants in 2011. Since 2008, 411 volunteers from 66 out of 87 Minnesota counties have committed to becoming First Detectors. Volunteers from Wisconsin, Iowa, North Dakota, and South Dakota have also attended the workshops.
In recognition of their efforts, in 2010 the First Detector team won five awards:
- Dean's Distinguished Team Award, University of Minnesota Extension Dean's Office
- Silver Award, Innovative Program, Association of Natural Resources Extension Professionals (ANREP)
- Silver Award, Outstanding Team, ANREP
- Innovation Award, Minnesota Association of Extension Professionals
- Excellence in Natural Resources Programming, Minnesota Association of Natural Resource Extension Professionals
In 2011, the team was honored with the NPDN Outstanding First Detector Educational Training Award .

Brodeur to start Saturday against Florida
Friday, 02.10.2012 / 3:30 PM ET / News
By Eric Marin
Martin Brodeur returns to action Saturday, when the Devils host Florida for a 1 p.m. matinee at Prudential Center.
Brodeur was back at practice Friday after being scratched from Thursday's shootout loss to St. Louis. Jeff Frazee was recalled from Albany (AHL) under emergency conditions to back up Johan Hedberg, who made 23 saves in the defeat.
Brodeur tweaked his ankle in a collision with Ryan Callahan on Tuesday. He blanked the Rangers 1-0 to notch his first shutout of the season in dramatic fashion, but missed practice the next day.
He has felt a noticeable improvement since then.
"Night and day," Brodeur said. "Almost all of the swelling is down. That was what prevented me from moving it around as much as I wanted. Now a full-tilt practice here, I didn't miss a beat, so it's good."
Coach Peter DeBoer was relieved that Brodeur's setback proved to be minor.
"You watch the play back, it's kind of an awkward-looking play," DeBoer said. "You can see where he tweaked his leg. Anytime something like that happens, you worry about worst-case scenario. Thankfully, we didn't have to deal with that."
The Devils' (31-19-4) winning streak ended at five games against the Blues, but DeBoer's squad has collected points in a season-high seven straight (5-0-2). Sunday brings another chance for them to gain separation in the conference standings.
The Panthers (25-17-11), currently third in the East by virtue of their Southeast Division lead, have been battling Washington to stay out of ninth place. Florida is 4-3-3 in its last 10 games.
"These points are crucial, not just for us, but for them," Brodeur said. "They're coming off a big win against L.A. [Thursday] night. It'll be a big challenge for us to bounce back. We played, I thought, pretty well [against St. Louis], coming back from an emotional win against New York. We have to step it up and even play better. Their D are going to be something that we're going to have to watch, and their big line [Tomas Fleischmann-Stephen Weiss-Kris Versteeg], also."
• Hedberg and Dainius Zubrus had rest days and did not practice.
• Forward Ryan Carter (hand) was placed on injured reserve, retroactive to Feb. 2.

The abstract deadline for NOFOMA 2008 is approaching soon – note Jan 15 in your calendars! Uniquely, the conference is co-organised by four different universities, actually, ALL of those that have logistics education in the Helsinki region (and yes, I say Helsinki region, because oddly enough, the Helsinki University of Technology is actually located in Espoo, not in Helsinki). The big four are Hanken, the Helsinki School of Economics, Helsinki University of Technology, and the National Defence University. Just in time that they've started to co-operate, after all this is nothing smaller than the 20th anniversary conference! So you can be sure of a great celebration in Helsinki during Jun 4-6.
While the website is migrating (we are still waiting for access rights), here are the crucial dates to note. And a link to the call for papers. UPDATE: you'll find the CFP on the Nofoma 2008 page of this blog!
First to the dates:
– Deadline for structured abstracts (for Nofoma and Educators Day): Jan 15, 2008
– Full paper deadline (for Nofoma and Educators Day): Mar 28, 2008
– Revisions, WIP papers, poster sessions, and papers for the NORDLOG doctoral workshop: May 2, 2008
– Early bird registration: May 2, 2008
– NORDLOG Doctoral Workshop: Jun 4, 2008 (at the Helsinki University of Technology)
– NOFOMA Educators Day: Jun 4, 2008 (at the Helsinki School of Economics)
– NOFOMA main conference: Jun 5-6, 2008 (at HANKEN)
As you'll note from the CFP, there are a couple of new features coming up with the conference.
– First of all, the educators day has a call for papers! I.e. please submit your teaching-relevant publications to the conference! They'll be reviewed, and the ones that make it as a full paper will be included in the conference proceedings.
– Secondly, there is a poster session with a special deadline.
– And… lots of surprise elements to come. But they wouldn't be surprises if I were to post them here, would they?😉
So, note the dates and have a look at the CFP. You'll find all traditional logistics/SCM themes on it (from theoretical developments, modelling and simulation tracks, to TPL-related issues, ICT in logistics etc.). And a couple of new ones: humanitarian logistics, security & safety in traffic and transport (greetings to the EU's 7FP), and healthcare supply chains.
Most importantly, this is a conference with a full paper review. And, best papers will be selected for the International Journal of Physical Distribution and Logistics Management.
Welcome to Helsinki in June!

Name the feature you're adding or editing as it's known in the real world. There are three types of information needed about the name of your feature: the language, the name itself, and the type of name.
Choose the language of the name you're adding. Capitalise the first letter of each word according to the customs of the language the name is added in.
Multiple namesIf the place is known by more than one name, you may enter all of the names. Just click Add more names. Any additional names that you include are also searchable on Maps. To delete a name, click .
If a road is known by more than one name, you may enter all of the names:
- Use the Select Road Segments tool to add a name to a part of an existing road.
- Use the Edit option to add a name to the entire road (concurrent with an existing road name).
Name Type
You can specify different types of names. Select the correct type to ensure that the most appropriate name is displayed on Maps.Local
- Features with only one name shouldn't be obscure.
- Obscure names can be given to historical names if:
- The historical name applies to a single current feature. The extent (boundary) of the current feature may be changed. Examples:
- Incorrect: Czechoslovakia (as its divided into 2 separate countries: Slovakia & Czech Republic)
- Correct: Calcutta (New name: Kolkata), Zaire (New name: Congo)
- Historical route names should be added as type "obscure" to the route which best represents its historical location and extent.
- If multiple current routes represent the extent of the historic route, the historical name should be added as type "obscure" to each of the current routes.
- If the extent of the historic route cannot be represented accurately by current route(s), don't add the historical route.
- The historical name applies to a single current feature. The extent (boundary) of the current feature may be changed. Examples:
Road name types:Numbered highway
Route number for bicycle paths (if any) such as "U.S. Bicycle Route 76".
Note: Frontage roads also known as access roads, service roads or parallel roads should not have the same type as a numbered highway.
Best practices
- While adding names in different languages, do not translate names. Instead, use the transliterated version.
- While adding names in different languages, establish the default language for entering data in the Settings menu.
- Wait until the feature has been renamed in real life to change it on the map.

Colorectal Cancer Health Center
Fruit May Sway Colon Cancer Risk
March 20, 2007 -- Eating lots of fruit and little meat may help prevent precancerous colon polyps, a new study shows.
The take-home message: "Eat more fruit, eat less meat, and don't stop eating your vegetables," Gregory Austin, MD, MPH, tells WebMD.
Austin is a gastroenterology fellow at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. He and his colleagues studied the dietary patterns of 725 adults who got colonoscopy.
In colonoscopy, doctors guide a thin, flexible tube with a tiny camera through the colon, looking for abnormalities including colon cancer and polyps. Some polyps can become cancerous.
Most people in Austin's study were in their 50s or 60s. Colonoscopy showed that 203 participants had at least one adenoma, a colon polyp. The other 522 participants had no adenomas.
Within three months of colonoscopy, the patients were interviewed about their diet and lifestyle.
Dietary Pattern
Austin's team analyzed the amount of fruit, vegetables, and meat that participants said they usually ate.
Participants' dietary patterns fell into three groups.
The largest group included people who ate a lot of meat and skimped on fruits and vegetables. That's the typical American diet, Austin says, adding that a little more than half of the participants ate that way.
The second-largest group included 181 people who reported eating a lot of fruit, little meat, and a moderate amount of vegetables.
The smallest group included 119 people who reported eating a lot of vegetables and moderate amounts of meat and fruit.
Fruit Eaters' Advantage
"The group that had the lowest risk of having an adenoma was the group that ate a lot of fruit and avoided meat, basically," Austin says.
He notes that "meat" didn't just refer to red meat, but included beef, pork, veal, chicken, fish, frankfurters, and luncheon meat. The study didn't focus on specific foods.
Adenomas were more common and were found at roughly the same rate among the other two dietary pattern groups.
The results held when the researchers took other factors into consideration.

Intellectual Property
Wolk v. Kodak Imaging Network, Inc.
Date Filed:
Case #: 10 Civ. 4135
Full Text Opinion: http://scholar.google.com/scholar_case?case=3878548313413303059&hl=en&as_sdt=2&as_vis=1&oi=scholarr
Copyright: Defendant largely acted in accordance with DMCA when it provided plaintiff with a means to contact concerning removal of infringing images.
Shelia Wolk ("Wolk"), artist and owner of copyrighted depictions of fantasy settings and animals, filed a pro se copyright infringement suit against Photobucket, a free image-file sharing service, and Kodak Imagining Network, Inc. ("Kodak"), whom partnered with Photobucket to provide printing services for Photobucket users. Photobucket, in compliance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act's ("DMCA") "safe harbor" definition, provided copyright owners a means to contact Photobucket for removal of infringing images, so long as the copyright owner gave the URL and copyright information for the image. Wolk sought to have Photobucket remove up to 3,000 images. Although Photobucket managed to remove many of the images, Wolk, being a self-described computer novice, could not provide all of the requisite URLs, and filed suit before Photobucket could complete the removal process, seeking an injunction and damages up to $6,000,000. Both Wolk, and the co-defendants, Photobucket and Kodak, filed motions for summary judgment. The District Court found that Photobucket had largely acted in accordance with the DMCA, and that Wolk had not demonstrated that Photobucket had contributorily infringed her copyrights by acting with the knowledge that it was passing along infringing images to Kodak. The District Court GRANTED Photobucket and Kodak's summary judgment motion.

PARKERSBURG - Visitors to Blennerhassett Island Historical State Park were able to commemorate West Virginia's birthday as well as the state's historical ties to the American Civil War over the weekend.
The park marked the state's 151st birthday over the weekend with activities that ranged from an 1860s-style baseball game, a barn dance, riverboat rides, West Virginia musicians, cake and ice cream to Civil War re-enactors conducting a period camp throughout the weekend culminating with battle re-enactments on Saturday and Sunday.
"We have been very busy this weekend," Pam Salisbury, activities coordinator for Blennerhassett Island. "We had a lot of visitors and families coming over to enjoy the West Virginia Weekend, the period baseball game and the Civil War re-enactment."

Union cannons, some manned by Carlin's Battery D, participated in a Civil War battle re-enactment Sunday on Blennerhassett Island Historical State Park. The park marked West Virginia's 151st birthday over the weekend with activities that ranged from an 1860s-style baseball game, a barn dance, riverboat rides, West Virginia musicians, cake and ice cream to Civil War re-enactors conducting a period camp throughout the weekend, culminating with battle re-enactments on Saturday and Sunday.
Park officials estimated about 700 visitors came to the island Saturday and about 350 on Sunday.
In addition to the special activities, the park still conducted its regular tours of the Blennerhassett Mansion, Maple Shade was open and the horse-drawn wagon rides were conducted throughout the weekend.
Through the efforts of the re-enactors, the park volunteers and others, people had a real taste of West Virginia history, Salisbury said.
"It has just been a great weekend for living history," she said.
Civil War re-enactors from the 105th Ohio Volunteer Infantry, the 17th Va. Cavalry, Kanawha Artillery Battery D, Carlin's Battery D and others conducted battlefield demonstrations with cannons and single-shot muzzleloaders on Saturday and Sunday to give visitors a glimpse of how battles were conducted during the Civil War.
There were around 50-75 re-enactors participating in the period camp over the weekend and the battles. Many were in authentic uniforms and using equipment that was period specific.
"This why they call us 'Living Historians,' we studied the four-year period that was the Civil War," said Captain Don Van Meter of the 105 Ohio Volunteer Infantry. "The American Civil War was the most important part of American history."
Had things turned out differently, the whole political structure of the world would have been changed drastically, Van Meter said.
"We retained the Union of the states," he said. "Because of the Civil War, we were able to go on and make the most powerful nation in the world."
Following Sunday's battle re-enactment, Van Meter talked to those gathered about how things were done during the period in battle, how people stayed in contact with home, family responsibilities and more.
A lot of people asked where they get their costumes, Van Meter said.
"These are not costumes," he said. "They are authentic from the bottom of our shoes to the tops of our hats.
"If you have someone who knows what they are doing, they will be as authentic as they can be."
Owen Headley, 10, of Zanesville, Ohio, was part of the Ambulance Corps of the 1st Ohio Infantry. During the battle re-enactment he was helping to tend to the wounded and helping to carry them off the battlefield on stretchers.
This weekend was his first time participating in a Civil War Re-enactment. He learned about it from someone with his local Boy Scout council and wanted to try it.
"It was very fun and interesting," Headley said. "Even if you are just waiting, you get to talk and find out more (about the Civil War) than you already know."
He learned about the different designations on a battlefield in dealing with wounded from a dressing station to an actual field hospital and how those different areas were marked.
The people who came out to watch learned a lot.
Eric Lyons, of Panama Beach, Fla., had never seen a Civil War re-enactment before. In listening to Van Meter and others speak, he got an idea of how things were done back then.
"It was really cool," he said. "I really learned a lot."
Lyons commented on the authenticity of the uniforms.
"They would have to have a lot of money put into those uniforms," he said.
Michelle McLendon, of Parkersburg, commented on the re-enactors' dedication to what they do.
"It is really neat that they do that," she said.
Mark Nicholls, of Charlotte, N.C., was in the area visiting relatives.
"They said this was a pretty good show," he said. "It was terrific, very historically accurate."
Nicholls was out Sunday enjoying himself and what the area had to offer.
"It was inexpensive," he said. "It is a beautiful day to be out in the country, we got to go on a boat ride, got a little bit of a history lesson and got to do a little bit of shopping."
The Mid-Ohio Valley has a lot of history that many people are not aware of.
"We want to bring the history out. They aren't teaching a lot of this in the schools," said Robert Neff, co-organizer of the the weekend event and a Captain with the 17th Virginia Cavalry. "West Virginia - our state - was born out of the Civil War.
"We wanted to show that there is history here that hasn't even been touched. That history needs to be put out there."

SEATTLE -- A year after rewriting the record books for 49ers tight ends, Vernon Davis reached another milestone Saturday: He became the highest paid tight end in NFL history.
Davis signed a five-year extension worth $37 million, including $23 million guaranteed.
"He deserves everything that he gets,'' said coach Mike Singletary, Davis' one-time critic.
Davis put up modest -- even disappointing -- statistics over his first three NFL seasons before his breakout performance a year ago. Davis scored 13 touchdowns, tying Antonio Gates' single-season mark for NFL tight ends. Davis also established career highs with 78 catches and 965 yards.
His new deal pushes him past Gates as the highest-paid tight end. The San Diego Chargers star inked a five-year deal worth $36.2 million ($20.4 million guaranteed) in July.
"It says a lot, being the highest-paid tight end," Davis said. "But what it all boils down to is that I'm not playing this game for the money. It's about the passion in my heart. It's what I've been doing since I was a kid, and I love the game."
Davis' deal comes on the eve of the 49ers' season opener against the Seattle Seahawks. The No. 6 pick in the 2006 draft said negotiations were never a distraction during training camp, in part, he said because his grandmother, Adaline Davis told him that everything would work out.
Saturday's announcement comes just months after the 49ers wrapped up another star, linebacker Patrick Willis, with a five-year, $50 million extension. Davis is signed through 2015; Willis is committed through 2016.
"You're talking about two of the finest players at their positions in the league," Singletary said. "That's very exciting for the organization."
Davis' touchdown total last season year broke the 49ers tight end record of nine set by Ted Kwalick (1972) and equaled by Brent Jones (1994). Davis' yardage total surpassed Eric Johnson's previous team record of 825 yards (2004).
As the 49ers considered their long-term investment, they were swung as much by his maturation as his production. Davis once inspired Singletary's famous "I want winners!" tirade for the tight end's boneheaded play.
Singletary has since named Davis a team captain and said Saturday Davis is the type of player his teammates should emulate on the practice field. He said Davis' tone-setting behavior is part of the reason the team felt comfortable making such a lucrative long-term investment.
"Vernon is one of the hardest working guys on the team. What's going to change him?" Singletary said. "He's been like that since the day he got here. Hard work is the mark of Vernon Davis.
"All you have to do is look at the identity of the 49ers, and Vernon fits it. Vernon is that guy."
