What was once part of the Slaughter Pen Farm Battlefield in Fredericksburg, Virginia now serves as a small airport.
Slaughter Pen Farm
Into the Field
You are standing near the center of the most successful Union attack at the Battle of Fredericksburg. Two Union divisions, Gen. George G. Meade's on your left and Gen. John Gibbon's on your right, advanced into this field and soon encountered the "Virginia ditch fence" visible on your right and left. The ditch fences, dug by farmers to divide their fields and to promote drainage, were much steeper, deeper, and wider during the battle. Union soldiers scrambled across this and other obstacles however they could.
After Union troops crossed the ditch fences, converging Confederate artillery fire stopped them cold. The Federals laid down in the fields in front of you as Union cannons replied in kind. Both sides suffered heavy losses in men, horses, and equipment. When the fire was too hot for the men of one Confederate battery, its commander "wrapped his battle flag around him, walking up and down among his deserted guns" to shame his gunners back into position.
"The trees around our guns were literally torn to pieces and the ground plowed up. I have been several times covered with dirt, and had it knocked n my eyes and mouth." — "Ben," Pee Dee (South Carolina) Artillery, CSA
"Being no breeze to carry away the smoke of our guns, the gunners on firing would quickly run to either flank to clear the great volume of smoke hanging in front of their muzzles that they might see where their shells were going." — Pvt. Bates Alexander. 7th Pennsylvania Reserves, USA
As the Union troops advanced into this field, terrain slowed them and Southern cannon fire brought them to a halt.
"We blew up one of their caissons," remembered one Union soldier, "causing a cheer to break forth from our lines. But soon thereafter they blew up one of ours." This 1863 image was taken on Marye's Heights, a few miles to the north. - Courtesy National Archives
Just prior to the Union assault, 24-year-old Confederate Major John Pelham advanced one cannon a mile to your left and wrought havoc on the Union lines. Dangerously exposed and outgunned, Pelham disrupted the Union attack for nearly an hour and emerged unscathed. Of Pelham's actions, Gen. Robert E. Lee said, "It is glorious to see such courage in one so young." - Courtesy Library of Congress
À la suite de l'essaimage, j'en ai profité pour installer ma deuxième ruche, la FlowHive (au fond), et de diviser l'essaimage entre les deux ruches. On voit sur la photo le nouveau support fabriqué à partir des instructions de Beekeper's Corner Podcast www.bkcorner.org/?p=642... parfait pour la FlowHive!

The 79th Sustainment Support Command exhibits a “Days of Remembrance” display put together by Ms. Rita Cossio, the 79th SSC’s Equal Opportunity Specialist, and Master Sgt. Sophia Mendoza, of the 79th SSC, at Joint Forces Training Base, Los Alamitos, Calif., April 2, 2015. The sunflowers added were added to highlight "The Sunflower", a book on the Holocaust by Simon Wiesenthal. In his book, he reminisces his experience with a terminally wounded Nazi. The book recounts Wiesenthal's experience in the Lemberg concentration camp and discusses the moral ethics of the matter. The title comes from Wiesenthal's observation of a German military cemetery, seeing a sunflower on each grave, and fearing his own placement in an un-marked, mass grave. The book's second half is a symposium of answers from various people, including Holocaust survivors and former Nazis. The book was originally published in France. (U.S. Army photo by Spc.

It was my birthday on Friday, and I was in bed by 21:30. How sad is that? I was fighting a bug but had a barbecue on Saturday regardless. On Sunday I was in bed by nine...
Never mind: there's still some beer left over from Saturday, brewed over in Wickwar. You can't beat a nice pint of BOB.

Douglas College support staff were on a one day strike in support of a fair and reasonable deal on November 14, 2012.
All Douglas College New Westminster campus classes were cancelled. The monetary offer on the table for support staff at Douglas College was half what support staff at other post secondary institutions have settled for.
Douglas College is the seventh largest post secondary institution in British Columbia, with 4,700 full-time and 10,000 part-time students for the 2011-12 school year.
There are 304 Douglas College support staff represented by the BCGEU. They work at registration, in IT services, as library assistants, at the bookstore, in student services, and offer financial aid to students.
