Napa Valley, famous around the world as the Wine Country, is one of the most popular tourist attractions in California. More than five million visitors come each year, often overcrowding the roadways on summer weekends. Peak times are the summer months and the harvest "crush" during September and October. Napa Valley is home to more than two hundred wineries. With wine as a focus, great dining naturally emerged to compliment it, making it a food-and-drink lover's paradise!Spring and fall are the best times to visit. Summers tend to be hot and dusty, as well as decidedly crowded. Fall (September-November) combines fine weather with the grape harvest, and the wine-making season is on in full swing! The gloroious vineyards of the beautiful Sonoma county are a visual and gratifying treat,irres
Went to Savage Mill today–
This is a pleasant venue with WiFi access. Savage Mill is actually an old [historic] mill converted into shops and eateries. I am constantly surprised by the cost to dine out these days– however given that this is an expense I rarely incur these days– it should be surprising.

The question is often asked as to when be the right and correct time to "prune" your trees? This is always a topical and highly relevant important question when it comes to the topic of tree care - for your yard and garden landscaping - whether it is your city house or rural cottage or chalet. When considering the timeliness of pruning one must consider various factors. The correct timing is not always when it is easiest and most convenient for the landscape artist or technician. The first factor to consider is that every pruning cut on a living branch is a direct insult and injury to that plant is it tree, bush or shrub. These wounds take away energy from the plants vital stores and reserves. Pruning wounds will cause the tree to use energy to contain the decay that is caused by injuring

Reading through the most recent issue of Dothan Magazine, I found an article titled “The Best of Dothan”. The story was simply a compilation of some of the great and unique things Dothan has to offer both citizens and visitors alike. One particular entry caught my eye, and that was “Best street for a scenic drive”. The portion of Woodland Avenue between West Main Street and Fortner Street was highlighted as having some of the most interesting homes and architecture in Dothan.Specifically, I wanted to focus on the section from West Main up to South Orange, right behind the Dothan Country Club (see map below). There are several different styles of homes in the area; each piece of real estate offering something different from the rest.
This spanish style building is formerly a residence, but is currently an accounting office. It is also one of Dothan’s most recognized real estate landmarks, and marks the starting point of the annual Azalea-Dogwood Trail in

Puisque l'on est dans la catégorie des groupes qui ont la classe totale, parlons un peu d'un groupe de Detroit qui n'a pas la reconaissance qu'il mérite. Un groupe qui ne fait aucune concession dans sa musique et dans ses choix de morceaux, car en effet il s'agit d'un "groupe de reprises", vous l'avez compris, il s'agit des Detroit Cobras. Groupe de reprise ne veut pas dire groupe de bar miteux ou groupe de merde, au contraire par leur seule existence, The Detroit Cobras ont inventé un genre à part entière, le groupe pas connu qui reprend des chansons rarissimes mais toujours de bon goût, pour couronner le tout, ils arrivent à rendre chaque morceau unique en developpant leur style à travers la chanson sans jammais manquer de respect à l'artiste original, sans jammais oser plus que de raison (au temps des Star Academy et nouvelles starlettes, ca fait du bien), le tout réhaussé par les voix profondes et puissantes des chanteuses.Si vous conaissez déjà le groupe, pas
During the fall, one of my favorite things to do is take road trips to enjoy the trees changing colors. Last week, I mentioned a road trip on Skyline Drive in Virginia. When we lived in Colorado, we took several trips like that. One beautiful drive is the Peak to Peak Scenic Byway from Black Hawk/Central City to Estes Park.Once we reached Estes Park, we also enjoyed the fall colors and elk watching at Rocky Mountain National Park. The best time for fall colors is usually the last week in September and the first week in October.
Beginning in the rich farmland of the Willamette Valley, this 66 mile route then winds along rushing streams and through thick forests, climbing into the West Cascades and McKenzie Pass, and joins the McKenzie Pass- Santiam Pass National Scenic Byway. Much of the Byway parallels the Santiam Wagon Road, and this road was built to lead livestock ranchers east to pasture lands in Central Oregon, as well as to gold mines in Eastern Oregon and Idaho. The Byway begins on Interstate 5. Moving East from Interstate 5, you'll first come to Brownsville Oregon, which was settled in 1846 and is Oregon's third oldest town.

My trip to Skatelöv paid off. I got some photos of the rune stone Sm 6, the “picture stones” and more.
Sm 6. The size and form of the rune stone is that of a tombstone, but the outlay of the inscriptions and decorations seems more a test inscription but the inscription says otherwise.
Inscription: bosi : tlhi kirki þ bosi : ta=lhi sten til skatma kirkiu
In translation:
“Bósi cut the church. … Bósi cut the stone to the church of the Skatamen(?).”

An animal carved in the style of those found on rune stones, but this is probably carved as an adornment on the church.
Two stones with figurative carvings, they are rather worn so it’s hard to interpret them. Both have probably been carved as some form of adornments. If tou look close enough on the stone to the left it is easy to make your self believe that there are carved runes on it, especially up in

To our left, the Tam Dao Mountain Range swooped across the horizon, casting majestic shadows on the quiet villages underneath. Already we felt at peace even though all we could see of our goal – the recently built Truc Lam Tay Thien Zen Monastery – were the red tips of its tile-covered roof, peeking at us from a distance through the trees.

I found out a article about terrorist spots in the world. Once you step to these places, it's difficult to bring you home - coz probably you would die at there. I don't know whether this is true or not, but i think it is worth to share with you all. Let you judge it.Indonesia Jawa Valley HoleThe Indonesia Jawa valley hole is most terrorist strangely. In this valley has 6 big caves, the hole assumes the loudspeaker shape, all is the big trap. Does not need to say "enters it by mistake", even keep the distances from the enter can't be safe. When the person or the animal pass through from the enter, can 'eat' by one kind of formidable attraction. even there is 6 to 7 meters distances from the enter, it also can "attract" by the evil spirit mouth, and 'swallows down' by it. According to the reconnaissance, in the hole, the bones of the dead is countless, which difficult distinguishes clearly which are the person bone or which are the animal bones.Unavoidably death area - Kamchatka P
Flight hours: 5.2Study hours: 0Aviation Reading: NoneWade and I decided to take a leisurely scenic flight around Brisbane and the islands before I had to finalise my preparation to depart for Sydney.There is a published VFR track that takes you south of the city, over to Stradbroke island, tracking north to Moreton island before crossing water to the west for Bribie island and finally now being north of the city, returning to Archerfield.There were some interesting colours to be seen, the coast and islands looked great from the air. Pity about the low cloud which reduced picture clarity.During some of the island hopping, I decided to provide Wade with a taste of what a zero G environment feels like. Seeing as I still had the sound recorder hooked up, I decided to record the experience. You can listen to it here (Warning: Contains Explicit Language).On the return trip to Sydney, I decided to re-record most of the radio conversations again for my Student Pilot Training podcast listeners.
Malaysia Prime Minister Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi announced that the construction of the controversal "Scenic Bridge" which were to replace the 82 year-old Johor Causeway linking Malaysia to Singapore will be stopped permanently, to everyone's surprise.The idea of building this bridge was mooted in 2003 by the former Prime Minister of Malaysia, Tun Dr Mahathir who reasoned that the Causeway was built without giving due environmental considerations to the Strait of Johor. He claimed that the Causeway was blocking the free flow of the water of Johor Strait and eventually turning it into a pond of dead water. Whereas a bridge will allow the sea water to flow freely below it. But his proposal was met with strong protests from the Singapore government, whatever for, I really don't understand. Maybe Singaporeans love dead waters.When Tun Dr Mahathir retired and Datuk Abd Badawi took over as PM, he continued to pursue the idea of replacing the old causeway with a new bridge, he even
