Psychology, Liberalism, and Activism: Challenging Discourses of 'Equality With' in the Same-Sex Marriage Debate
Riggs, Damien W., Gay and Lesbian Issues and Psychology Review
Current activism within the discipline of psychology, particularly with regard to the same-sex marriage debate, has at times been limited by the reliance upon liberal individualism. More specifically, the liberal assumption of 'equality with' may be seen to produce a number of negative outcomes that result from a focus upon singular axes of identity. In contrast to an understanding of activism that focuses on equality, this paper provides an examination of the American Psychological Association's resolution on same-sex marriage, and proposes that activists (both within the discipline and beyond) may benefit from engaging in analyses of how state sanction serves to 'domesticate' same-sex attracted individuals. By elaborating the notion of 'state moral minimalism', it is proposed that future resolutions may move away from a simplistic reliance upon the concept of 'equality', and may instead move towards an acknowledgment of the multiple ways in which oppression and privilege intersect.
The discipline of psychology has two quite distinct, and indeed paradoxical histories. The first history tells of a discipline "that would make a difference": that would not only "describe reality but [also] change it, and for the better" (Bradley & Selby, 2001, p. 84). The second history is of a discipline that "always serves to obscure larger social and political issues (sexism, heterosexism, racism, classism), converting them into individual pathologies by an insistent focus on the personal" (Kitzinger & Perkins, 1993, p. 6). In regards to the first history, Bradley and Selby suggest that psychology was originally conceived as a means to promoting social welfare, one that would necessarily start from a critique of the status quo. They propose that in moving away from these aims, the discipline at large has failed to take account of how individual oppression occurs in a broader social context. This point also informs Kitzinger and Perkins' critique of the discipline. They propose that the shift towards an individualised, acontextual approach to psychological research means on the whole that psychology is inherently unable to explore political issues, other than through an individualised lens.
In regards to the view of psychology held by Kitzinger and Perkins (1993), it is important to clarify that there are of course a wide range of psychological approaches that are indeed critical of mainstream psychology's focus on the individual (these include critical psychology: Fox & Prilleltensky, 1997, community psychology: Watts & Serrano-GarcÍa, 2003, and feminist psychology: Burman, 1998). Kitzinger and Perkins focus specifically on how psychology has often been complicit with the oppression of lesbians. My focus within this paper takes their critique as a starting place, but offers a more optimistic view of psychology's role in activism or advocacy (as does Kitzinger in her more recent work, such as Wilkinson & Kitzinger, 2005). My aim is therefore not to paint a view of psychology that ignores the vast differences that exist within the discipline, but rather to draw attention to the limitations that arise from employing an individualised approach to activism within the discipline of psychology, and the attendant problems that result from focusing primarily on single-issue identity politics. In other words, I seek to question some of the implications that might arise from the two competing understandings of the discipline of psychology as described above, and to investigate how the discipline of psychology on the whole is both a part of, and potentially an effective counter to, the ways in which individualisation can negatively impact upon particular marginalised groups. In order to do so, I focus on the example of same-sex marriage, and explore the ways in which debates over marriage rights have been taken up by the American Psychological Association (APA).
At the same time as I seek to explore the issues that may arise from any use of an individualised approach to activism in regards to same-sex marriage rights, I also wish to examine how the promotion of such rights within the framework of identity politics can work to further exclude or oppress certain groups of people. …

Client Services
Front Office ManagerKori H
Kori has been with VCA Old Trail Animal Hospital since August of 2010. She started out as a receptionist and in July of 2013, she was promoted to Front Desk Supervisor. She also works as a kennel technician. She enjoys working with the furry (and sometimes non-furry) pets, their owners, and her coworkers. In her spare time, Kori loves to spend time with her family, friends, and her Golden Retriever, Crazy Bennie. She also loves to travel to her hometown in upstate New York to visit her family.
"When asked why I do what I do, the answer that first came to minds was simple. I love people and I love animals. But it's more that that. It's the emotion behind it all and shareing those emptions with people who truly care. The joy of having a new puppy or kitten. The happiness and love you feel when your pet overcomes a sickness or something traumatic. Ths loss and pain you feel when you pet may not overcome something, but the comfort you get from the supporting and loving people beside you. It's looking into a pet's eyes and seeing the love an happiness he or she has for its owner. That's why I do what I do."
ReceptionistCathy Bull
Since I was 19 I have dedicated and devoted my life to raising my sons and putting them first at all costs. I was single for the first 6 years of my oldest son's life and then became single again the last 19 years of my youngest son's 20 years. My youngest son is special needs and he lives at home with me and always will, he is truly my best friend. Now that he is older and able to do some things on his own, I wanted to do something for myself, something I could be as proud of as I am at being a mother.
I love animals and people and the opportunity to work with a company like VCA Old Trail that truly puts the pet and the owner first was just what I was looking for. I work with an incredible team of people that work so well together and the first concern of the whole team is the pet and the owners. There isn't a day that goes by that I don't leave saying I am making a difference. I have seen some amazing life saving events while I have been here and some emotionally heart filled supportive goodbyes. I am proud to be a part of this team.
ReceptionistCarol P
Carol P. has been wroking with VCA Old Trail Animal Hospital for more than 25 years. She has been through several phases here, but truly enjoys the pets and their families. She has many pets at home, including cats, fish and a tarantula named Terminator. She loves all of her pets who are a huge part of her life, as is her 2 year old grandsone, Layne.
"When I was just a little child, I use to bring home injured bugs and birds for my mom to 'fix'. I have always had a special place in my heart for animals and always will. They give me much comfort when I truly need it. I will never be without a pet in my life. They are my family."

Amherst electronic account and e-mail
Amherst accounts for students provide access to e-mail, network drives, the college website and other resources available over the Amherst network. The college's general policies and codes of conduct apply to the electronic environment just as they apply in all other college settings. The Electronic Resources Acceptable Use Policy supplements these existing standards by describing the special rights and responsibilities that come with use of the college's electronic resources. Passwords should never be shared, and accounts should not be shared with or lent to others. Each student is responsible for all activity in his or her account.
If a student suspects his/her password has been compromised it should be changed immediately. This can be done by going to https://www.amherst.edu/help/passwords. Students who forget their passwords can go to the Help Desk in Seeley Mudd during college business hours and have an IT staff member assist them. They must present their college ID.
Amherst email is available online via a web browser at exchange.amherst.edu. Students may also manage their e-mail on mobile devices or personal computers using email clients. Directions for setting up these programs, as well as more information about email, are available on the IT website.
The Amherst Network and the Internet
All student residence halls have hardwired Ethernet and/or wireless network (802.11a/b/g/n) connections for accessing the Amherst network and the Internet. Devices using the wired and wireless networks must be registered. Students should not bring their own routers or wireless access points — these can interfere with the College network and even prevent other computers from getting to the Internet. Instructions for registering computers, mobile and other devices to use the college network are available on the IT website.
Wireless networking is available in campus buildings as well as major outdoor areas (Freshman Quad, Valentine Quad, Webster Circle, Pratt Field, Gooding Field and the softball field).
IT provides many services over the network, including Userfiles personal network storage space (also known as the "U: drive"), the content of which is backed up every night. Students can access their U: drives from any computer on campus. Learn more about Amherst network storage and network services on the IT website.
Student Personal Computers
A complete list of IT services available to students is available on the IT website on the IT Services webpage. Select the tab "By Audience" then select "Students". While IT staff will help a student fix an operating system, virus or networking problem, they are not authorized to repair hardware. Therefore, IT strongly urges every student to purchase an extended hardware warranty from his or her computer vendor.
Students having problems with their computer operating systems, viruses or spyware or the Amherst network may call the IT Help Desk at (413) 542–2526 or visit the IT Help Desk on the first floor of Seeley Mudd.
Computer Software
IT provides free antivirus software for all students. Instruction on how to download ESET software is available on the IT website.
The current version of Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, PowerPoint and more) for Windows or Mac and the current version (upgrade only) of windows are available for under $10. Complete the online order form on the IT website.
Computer Labs and Public Printing
Public computers for the college community's use are located in the Seeley Mudd Center for Creative Technology, the Robert Frost Library's A Level, Keefe Science Library and the Music Library. All facilities have Windows and Macintosh systems running Microsoft Office and many other applications, such as EndNote, PhotoShop, Illustrator and InDesign. Animation, video and GIS applications are available in specialized computer labs. Professional-quality scanners are available in Seeley Mudd and on the A Level of Frost Library.
Students who are interested in doing multimedia projects for their courses may check out equipment and receive training from Academic Technology Services staff. Located on the first floor of the Seeley Mudd building are facilities containing hardware and software for editing video and audio, composing and recording digital music, developing mobile applications and building 3D games or simulations.
Some academic departments have their own computer labs for classes or for student use. In many cases, these computers run software that is required for a course or special study and that is not available for students to install on their own computers.
Public printers are available for use in several campus locations, including Seeley Mudd, Frost Library's A Level, the Keefe Science Library and the Music Library. They include high-speed black-and-white and color laser printers, as well as a large-format color printer in Seeley Mudd. Laser printing costs start at $0.06 for one double-sided black-and-white page, and large-format charges depend on the output size. Individual printing charges are automatically added to student bills.
Student ID and AC Dollar$
The Amherst College ID is used in all campus dining facilities and for access to residence halls, athletic facilities, select classrooms and special functions. The ID also allows students to check out books at the Amherst College Library and all the other Five College libraries. Off campus, the ID card entitles students to discounts at movie theaters and with many local merchants.
Students may use their ID cards as a debit card on campus by depositing funds to create an AC Dollar$ account. The account operates on a declining balance system and may be used at any time. An ID card with AC Dollar$ may be used to purchase food and services from select locations. All campus dining facilities accept ACDollar$ for food purchases outside of the normal meal plan. More than half of all campus vending machines, all dorm laundry machines and the photocopiers in the library have card readers that accept ACDollar$. Deposits to ACDollar$ may be made by credit card, by mail and by phone. Find more information about deposit options.
College ID cards are produced in the Dining Services offices, located in the basement of Valentine Hall.

One year after a lengthy holdout impacted the Tennessee Titans in a negative way, the Titans avoided another potentially ensnarling situation by signing first-round pick Kendall Wright on Tuesday. In a 9-7 season in 2011 with a new coaching staff at the helm, Chris Johnson's holdout -- which preceded his least productive pro season -- might have made the difference between the Titans' chances of qualifying for the playoffs and not qualifying, which is what happened. With Wright, the issues weren't nearly as thorny or contentious as they were with Johnson -- though it's worth noting that another wide receiver who was a first-round pick of a fellow AFC South team, Justin Blackmon, remains unsigned by Jacksonville. Yet the way that coaches talk about Wright, specifically offensive coordinator Chris Palmer, the Titans seemingly expect the 5-foot-10, 196-pounder out of Baylor to make a big contribution -- a factor rendered all the more acute by the uncertainty surrounding wide receive...

Danny and Baez must track down a Marine veteran, Corporal John Russell, who very nearly beat his wife to death and then kidnapped his own son. Danny believes that Russell is experiencing very bad symptoms of PTSD brought on by his service in Afghanistan - something Danny has struggled with in the past as well. He eventually finds Russell standing on the roof of their first family apartment building, ready to leap to his death with his son. Danny talks him down enough to save the boy, but Russell sees death as the only way out and jumps to his death. Meanwhile, Frank is caught off guard during a press conference by Betty Lowe, a mother seeking justice for her murdered daughter. After speaking with Betty in private, Frank learns that she believes the wrong man went to prison for her daughter's murder and that the real killer is still out there. He quietly asks Erin to look into the case, and she, too, notes some suspicious elements, inspiring Frank to reopen the case on Betty's behalf.

Many issues surrounding quality of life and family well-being can only be addressed by states. Because of this, the Under Secretary of Defense for Personnel and Readiness started the USA4 Military Families initiative. The DoD-State Liaison Office engages state policy makers, nonprofit associations, concerned business interests and other state leaders about the needs of military members and their families. By developing state and military partnerships, the DoD seeks to work with states to remove unnecessary barriers and significantly improve the quality of life for military families serving in the active force, in the National Guard and Reserve Component, and as they transition to civilian life.
Each year, the Defense Department asks for help identifying new issues that could improve the quality of life of service members and their families. The DoD requests input from personnel and community support staff in the military services, Joint Staff, the National Guard Bureau, Office of the Secretary of Defense, military support organizations, veterans' services organizations and the general public through the Federal Register. After receiving all of the proposed issues, the DoD analyzes and ranks them to identify the top areas of concern. The final list is approved by the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Readiness and Force Management and includes those issues that affect the largest number of people in the largest number of states to achieve the largest impact on the military community.
After an issue is selected, the DoD-State Liaison Office works through its regional liaisons to engage and educate state policy makers and other state leaders about the issues and the needs of military members and their families, and how changes in state-level policies may improve the quality of life of military families.
The DoD-State Liaison Office has started the process of identifying the issues it will address through the USA4 Military Families initiative during fiscal year 2015. Your input can help improve the quality of life for all military families. If you can think of a time when you believe that military life may not have been considered in the application of a state law, and as a result, you felt the law was not evenly applied as compared to other citizens, the DoD-State Liaison Office wants to know.
Before submitting an issue, please take a look at the current issues that the USA4 Military Families initiative is already addressing. The USA4 Military Families website provides detailed information on the issues the DoD-State Liaison Office is currently focusing on, including the status for each state and identified best practices. You can submit your ideas through the USA4 Military Families Key Issue Feedback website.

Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (Hardcover)
|Author: J. K./ GrandPre Rowling
|Illustrator: Mary Grandpre Mary GrandPre
Learn more about Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix:
Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix is the latest volume in the thrilling, moving, bestselling Harry Potter series!
From the Publisher:
The hottest day of the summer so far was drawing to a close and a drowsy silence lay over the large, square houses of Privet Drive.... The only person left outside was a teenage boy who was lying flat on his back in a flowerbed outside number four.
"Later in the novel, J.K.Rowling writes:"
Dumbledore lowered his hands and surveyed Harry through his half-moon glasses. 'It is time,' he said 'for me to tell you what I should have told you five years ago, Harry. Please sit down. I am going to tell you everything.'
Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix is over 255,000 words compared to over l9l,000 words in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. The new book is 38 chapters long, one more than Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire.
About the Author:
A graduate of Exeter University, a teacher, and then an unemployed single parent, Rowling wrote Harry Potter when "I was very low, and I had to achieve something. Without the challenge, I would have gone stark raving mad." But Rowling has always written; her first book was called "Rabbit." "I was about six, and I haven't stopped scribbling since."
For Rowling, the change in her fortunes has been slightly bewildering. But her daughter has no doubt about her mother's new career: when asked what mommies do, she replies without hesitation, "Mommies write!"
Most critics and readers agree that HARRY POTTER AND THE ORDER OF THE PHOENIX marks a turning point in J. K. Rowling's enormously popular series in that the story takes on a more mature, darker tone. Now 15 years old, Harry faces the downside of being the world's most famous wizard-in-training and must adjust to changes in his relationships with friends and mentors. He also learns something quite disconcerting about his deceased parents and begins to realize how his personal demons make him vulnerable to the evil Lord Voldemort. Further complications arise when Harry grows disillusioned with the government of the magical realm and begins to question the power of the authorities at Hogwarts. A film version was made in 2007, releasing just days below the final book in the series.
"If Harry has hit his awkward age, Rowling the writer has already passed through it. HARRY POTTER AND THE GOBLET OF FIRE, her first long novel, was a somewhat lumpy affair; though ultimately winning, it suffered from her lack of experience with the form and her rush to meet her publisher's deadline. If that book was the work of a born storyteller still sorting out her technique, PHOENIX is the smooth product of a natural at the top of her game." - Laura Miller 06/23/2003 Los Angeles Times
"In dramatizing the angst that Harry experiences, Rowling does her usual page-turningly good job. Although this is a complex novel, the high energy level almost never flags, thanks in part to the author's ability to create vivid scenes and set pieces. And although her tone is much darker than previously, there are welcome elements of humor too, many of which are rooted in the characters and quirks of Harry's friends Hermione, Hagrid and Ron, who comes into his own as a newly designated prefect and keeper for the Gryffindor quidditch team." - Michael Cart 06/23/2003
Customer Reviews of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix
good book4/30/2012
this book takes the child heroes that we have grown to love and introduces the challenges of adolescence, acceptance and fitting in as well as a good dash of suspense, high drama and danger. It is of all of the books, the most psychologically thrilling in the series.
Another excellent book. Read it.
Best Yet!8/9/2003
Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix is the the best in the series so far! It explains so much and has a great plot! Harry is cool and Dumbledore is the greatest! Everyone should read this book and the whole series!
It could have been better7/19/2003
I really enjoyed the first four books, but this one wasn't that great. More pages doesn't equal an exciting adventure; I go for quality over quanity. This book didn't really have much of a mystery for Harry & friends to solve. It was quite depressing and kept rambling on and on. The ending was the worst part. My favorite adult character was killed. What's up with Dumbledore? Ms. Rowling seemed to go out of her way to make him a error-prone cowardly old man instead of a wise and powerful wizard. What I enjoy most about this book is Snape's worst memory. I find the mysterious Severus Snape a very interesting character because it's hard to understand where he's coming from. We get a glimpse into his childhood. It was worth buying the book just to read about that chapter. I also like the Christmas scenes. There isn't much else I can say about this book that's positive. It would have been much better if Harry and friends had exposed curruption at the Ministry since I sense the wizard government and Minister Fudge knew that Voldemort was back and they intentionally covered it up. However, it didn't happen. This book was boring and it didn't have a real adventure. Hopefully, the next book will be better. I'm still a big Harry Potter
HP and the Order of the Phoenix6/22/2003
If you have read the other books, this book is superb. JK Rowling does use a couple of phrases and words over a few to many times, but everyone does, and a few words were annoying. Like "pur-lease" (please), but everything was wonderful. The book was very easy to understand if you have read the others, and if you have read the others, than by all means read this. The plot is twisty and new, and this book includes new phrases, settings, and characters that she explains well.
J.K. Rowling Strikes Again Part 46/22/2003
Amazing...trully amazing. Harry Potter's fifth year at Hogwarts is his finest and darkest hour yet. Line after line, page after page, chapter after chapter, book after book, the series only gets better and better. If the quality of the book were measured by heat, Ootp is fresh magma from Mt. Fuji--no pun intended. I've read the book twice already and my wife nearly wants a divorce. Though Harry is not as likable in this book, the other characters pick up his slack. I hate the English but boy do I love their literature and those delicious biscuits. No I'm not talking about breakfast biscuits. I'm refering to cookies, the silly English call them biscuits. Whatever, they're good. My kids want to see Hulk, I want to read the book again. Guess what I'm gonna choose to do tonight? Note to J.K. Rowling: Will you marry me? Also, does anyone know where I could order a 24-K gold, diamond studded hardcover edition of the book?1 Helpful | 1 Not Helpful
A wonderful book. It's a bit dark and somewhat jarring, but difficult, if not impossible, to put down. I strongly recommend it. Rowling is very consistent with her characters, weaving them together and not forgetting this and that and them and that. Anybody who's ever written about one character or place for a long period of time knows how difficult this can be, because that character or place becomes more detailed and complex as time passes. Sticking with it takes a lot of discipline, intelligence, and will-power, and I commend her for that. And don't let eager naysayers scare you off. I've read quite a few books, and while there are minor similarities, such as a bad guy, a good guy, and looming danger, only jaded elitists will be harping on about how "done before" the book is. Now a word of caution for others writing reviews, please be considerate and don't insert spoilers in your text.2 Helpful | 0 Not Helpful
Come on guys...read between the lines...6/21/2003
First and foremost, J.K. Rowling is a very good author and I'm not writing this review to bash her. I am writing this review to remind all of you faithful Harry fans that Rowling borrows much of her content from stories that have already been told. Her writing style is pretty straightforward (i guess it would have to be when you cater to that age group), and she hasn't done much for the fantasy genre that hasn't already been done. The one thing she has done is get young people to read again and that is great...but the books are only okay. I'm halfway done and I could have spent my $18 elsewhere.4 Helpful | 13 Not Helpful
Harry Potter returns!1/17/2003
Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix is the best in the series!! I cannot tell you what happens but it is AMAZING. That is all i can say because i don't want to spoil it for you. It took me all day to read the book since it is so long. What an enchanting world J.K. Rowling has created. Like many, my other all-time absolute favorite book is Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban. But Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire is a close second. If you don't already own them both, buy them now. Also get Classic Books from the Library of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry for more info on the world of HP! Thanks buy.com for the awesome price on this book.10 Helpful | 14 Not Helpful

Nothing Wrong With It
I'm homosexual. I've been in a relationship with the same man for 11 years. I don't see being gay as anything wrong...it's just the way I was born.
Although I have some family members who can't deal with me being gay, that's their problem. Me being gay is just way it is...like my blue eyes or being right handed.
I do dislike how religion causes so many people to be prejudiced and hateful but there's nothing really that I can do about it. I just live my life with honor and hope that people see that being gay is no big deal. It's part of who I am but not all I am about.
Before I comment here.... I would like to state that you have a great screen name! LIFE101 it is so scolar and clever with deep meaning as I get it (I dont know if that was your goal) but it is very successful!

Ok. I agree religion is a drawback in our society as well. But I think things are changing now for the better. Priests that were exposed and etc have made people think that really homosexuality is state of life and not a desease. I also believe that in the near future ( i dont know what gives me this impression) but yes, I beleive that churches will meet (christian churches) and discuss in depth this matter and will change some grounds of thinking. I sound rediculous, but I hope for this to happen.

Yes, our sexuality does not define the whole of our being but a part of us. I totally agree!

See you soon. I like these discussions!
I totally agree with you. I too think that's there's nothing wrong about being gay---that's just the way I turned out and since there's nothing I can do about it, I just try and live my life with honor and hope--the same as you do.

Healthy Weight Gain
If you are starting your pregnancy weighing more than you'd like, don't try to diet. Dieting will rob you and your baby of needed nutrients. Focus instead on eating a healthful diet, avoiding junk food, and exercising to the extent that your doctor allows. Aim for gradual weight gain. It's best to gain a little at a time rather than load on 6 pounds in 1 week and nothing for several weeks afterward. Pay attention to the scale and these general weight-gain guidelines:
- If you are a normal weight before pregnancy, gain 25-35 pounds
- If you are overweight before pregnancy, gain 15-25 pounds
- If you are underweight before pregnancy, gain 28-40 pounds
- If you are obese, gain 15 pounds or less.
If you are pregnant with multiples, your weight gain will depend on several factors, including your prepregnancy weight and how many babies you're carrying. For example, a normal-weight woman who is having twins should gain 35-45 pounds.

Jonny Venters Position: P Height: 6-3; Weight: 195 BatThrow: LL Hometown: Berkeley Lake, Ga. Experience: Third season 2011 in review: Venters formed part of the formidable OVentbrel bullpen trio.

Career highlight: Earned his first career save by throwing only one pitch against to preserve a 4-3 victory over the Dodgers at Dodger Stadium on June 3, 2010. Venters struck out one of the two batters he faced in the 2011 All-Star game.

|Further details indoors
The house has an interesting history, which we are starting to piece together from the village locals. So far it is our understanding that the house was built by/for an American sailor shortly after The First World War for his Italian girlfriend from the village. Unfortunately before he could complete the house, he was called back to his boat and left Italy, his girlfriend either couldn't afford to complete the house, or else was prevented from completing the build due to the fallout with the immediate neighbours as the American had built the house in the middle of one of the villages squares (blocking the views of surrounding properties). The house then remained empty until The Second World War.
During the Second World War the property was used as a safehouse for partisans and the Italian resistance as a stop off point for American, Canadian and English soldiers and spies escaping from Florence. They would spend up to 12 days in the house until being called to the West coast and their boat home. Indeed one of our neighbours has a letter from General Alexander thanking them for supporting British troops during the war as they provided food and clothing to the house. Following the war the house was again left empty, although the wartime occupants did leave a small number of hand grenades and pistols which were found and disarmed by the Italian bomb disposal team during the recent renovation. As such the property has never been permanently occupied, making it an 80yr old new build!
|Further details outdoors
Although the property has no allocated parking, there is plenty of public parking in the village, there is car parking by the two small shops which are a thirty second walk from the house through an arch, even if these spaces are taken on your arrival you can pull in to unload the car.
There are more spaces by the church which at the furthest are 50 metres (100 foot approx).
All parking areas are well lit, paved and relatively level.
|Further details
New for rent August 2005.
PLEASE NOTE ALTHOUGH THE PROPERTY WILL SLEEP 7 MAXIMUM IT IS MORE SUITED TO FOUR PEOPLE AS THE 5-7th PERSONS WOULD BE ON A SOFA BED AND SINGLE BED IN THE LOUNGE AREA.
The Tuscany region
The Italian region of Tuscany is amongst the most beautiful areas of Europe offering stunning Alpine hills to the North, the rolling hills of Siena to the south, sandy beaches and beautiful coast lines and some of the most historic cities and towns in Italy.
A holiday in North Tuscany is characterised by beautiful and lush scenery, hill and mountain roads to traditional, rural Italian villages and masses of history and art .
Tuscany was the region in which the Italian Renaissance produced its first results. The unique artistic patrimony of this region includes architecture, painting and sculpture, collected in dozens of famous museums like the Uffizi in Florence and in situ in even quite small cities.
Tuscany is also known for its wines (most famous of which are Chianti, Morellino di Scansano and Brunello di Montalcino) and has 120 protected regions (nature reserves). Notable tourist destinations in Tuscany include Florence, Pisa, Lucca, Maremma (in Grosseto province), Crete Senesi, and Siena.
Bagni Di Lucca
La Piccola Torre sits nestled in a small square in the mountain village of Benabbio, at the foot of the Apuan Alps and 6km outside the historic spa town of Bagni di Lucca, the house is perfectly located for exploring the national park area of the Garfagnana, the cities of Lucca, Pisa, Livorno (Leghorn) and Firenze (Florence). The house is located just 50 minutes from Pisa airport, 50 minutes from the beaches of Viareggio and Forte Dei Marmi and 50 minutes from the local ski resort of Abetone. Further afield beautiful Porto Venere is 90 minutes away to the North West and the rolling hills of Sienna a couple of hours to the South East.
Benabbio - the village facilities
Situated along the road that climbs from Bagni di Lucca over the Pizzorne plateau and goes down to Pescia, this charming traditional working village stands on the hillside and on the top stands a Romanesque church and the few ruins of the castle of Lupo Luperi. Benabbio is a typical mountain Tuscan village with a wealth of history stretching from Medieval times, please note due to the location/altitude of the village walking to Bagni-di-lucca is only advised for the really fit, obviously downhill is fine but walking back is not for the faint hearted! But the village has two shops which between them should provide all the goods you need. Taxis are also available from the village. During the summer months the villagers open the small outdoor bar and dancing (ballroom not modern) area called 'la Lucciola' (the Firefly) the bar serves snacks and children /young people are very welcome, it is a three minute walk from the house. There are two restaurants in the village, a new restaurant opposite the church in the centre of the village offering traditional Tuscan dishes such as wild boar and a Pizza/pasta/ice cream restaurant just five minutes walk up the hill (on the left) by the side of the church, offering very reasonably priced food and is ideal for children, it also provides a take away pizza service. There is also a great western style riding centre which provides local trecks just outside the village - www.ruscelloranch.com.
The village also has an annual festival in August which includes outdoor cinema show on the church wall, literacy and poetry reading, outdoor dining and a candlelit procession up to the highest church in the village.
Just down the hill from the village Bagni di Lucca has a number of bars and restaurants to satisfy most appetites, with more gastronomic experiences further toward Lucca including the beautiful 'Butterfly' restaurant on the main road to Bagni di Lucca from Lucca, where you can experience the very best in high quality Italian gastronomy.
BAGNI-DI-LUCCA (5km) hosts an amazing period natural thermal spa offering many treatments and beauty products. The town also has a lovely large outdoor/indoor swimming pool providing sunbathing areas, snacks and drinks - great place for the children. An historic casino museum has also recently opened after national investment and refurbishment. (2010) - now non operational,it was apparently the first casino to open in Italy.
Bagni di Lucca was established in late roman times. Its health -giving springs have been used by the nobility of Europe for over 1000 years, and was known as "The Italian Switzerland". The magnificent and unique Ponte della Maddalena (The Devil's Bridge) was built in 1101 so the baths could be reached from Lucca. In the 18th and 19th centuries there were particularly strong ties with England and it was an essential stop on the "Grand Tour". It was frequented by Shelley, Byron, the Brownings, Strauss, Listz, Paganini, and Puccini and many other notables.
Today Bagni di Lucca is a beautiful little spa town with a variety of shops, bars and restaurants, The town nestles in the lush valley of the Lima River which flows right through the middle of the town (you can swim in many places)) in the foothills of the Apennines surrounded by picturesque medieval hilltop villages, many of which are worth a day's visit especially Barga.
The house is also on the doorstep of two National Parks offering mountains, forests, gorges, rivers, lakes and caves (La Grottto Vente is not to be missed it is known as the wind cave, its very large and has amazing formations inside - tours are available in English and run approx every half an hour- further info at house).
The skiing in Abetone is fantastic with runs to suit beginners as well as experienced, the resort has 60km of stunning piste and a modern lift system (apart from one chairlift - a bit old and slow!). Lessons are available in English and prices for lessons, lift passes and eqipment hire are about the cheapest in Europe as the resort is not advertised. There are NEVER any queue's and skiing is possible from Dec right through to April - the resort has an excellent snow record due to its own mirco climate and it has never experienced an avalanche!
The nearest beach resort is Viareggio,, it has miles of sandy shoreline and is ideal for children and sunbathers, in summer the resort gets busy with the rich and famous italians who often arrive on their own private yachts - very entertaining!

"Simply Fabulous!"
I was lucky enough to have the opportunity to spend 5 days in this beautiful part of Tuscany! Traveling with friends to ski at the Abetone ski resort (less than a hours drive), w decided to stay in this small village of Bennabio. I found this home such a warm, comfortable and lovely place, very light and airy with plenty of sun shining thru the many windows.
We arrived the day after a snowfall and the village was simply beautiful. The roof terrace provides spectacular views of the town and the surrounding hills and valley and is a wonderful place to have a glass of wine and just enjoy the peacefulness of a lovely Italian Village!

"Lovely house beautiful village."
We booked this house after seeing the photographs on the website. The house was lovely set in a beautiful village.With a great little supermarket and a local resturant. Just the peaceful holiday that we were looking forward too.
The house was as described. However, during the evening a local fiesa was held in the village so from about 10pm to 1am there was very loud music and local people singing and having a good time. The weather was SO hot but we had too close the windows there was no fans and it was just unbearable.This was a holiday and we had to try and settle our child while all this was going on. You knew that this was going to last all week.
The owners knew this too as several families had had the same problems - this was written in the guest book!!! I was not happy with the owners they knew that this fiesta takes place every year. It would have been good to have the knowledge that this was happening, and been able to book another week. I contacted the owner and she said she would pay £100 to us. Never heard from them since!!!!!!
This is an review from a customer who stayed in our house in 2010 so we are a little confused as to why the review has only just been received!! The house now has fans in each room to allow windows to be shut when it is hot.
We were not aware of any festival in the village and we presume the noise is from the August open air bar which is clearly described in the details of the property. Guests have commented in the guest book how much they enjoyed going to the bar with their children and being welcomed by the locals and being part of the dancing, it is tradition in Italy for children to attend these social events with their families during school holidays and to go to bed later than normal and to lie in longer in the mornings. The description is clear that the house is in the centre of this lovely village and you will experience 'real' Italian life. It is a very small village but the one thing that is consistently noted in the guest book is how friendly the villagers are and how much they enjoy it when the people staying at our house mingle within their community.
If you do prefer isolation then this is probably not the holiday property for you.
We did offer to compensate the customer with £100 as a goodwill gesture but unfortunately my computer 'died' due to having a pint of water dropped onto it and I lost all details necessary to continue communication, we then bought a new laptop but changed accounts to a yahoo address (was a mail address previously) this email address has been clearly visible on the holiday lettings website for 2 years and we received no communication from the guest who supplied this review so we were unable to return the £100.

"Delightful and relaxing holiday in a beautiful property in a stunning location"
Absolutely loved our stay at La Piccola Torre. We found both the property and its location enchanting. The hillside village setting is breathtaking and provides an authentic Tuscan experience. I actually loved waking to the peal of the church bells. The house is warm and charming, exquisitely furnished in chic rustic style. We enjoyed breakfasting on the roof terrace taking in the ambiance of village life and then spending evenings with a glass of wine chilling out by a roaring log fire. Excellent location for visiting hotspots like Florence and Lucca but also lovely for walking around the village area and Bagni-di-Lucca. Good restaurants locally in Bagni-di-Lucca. Would love to come and stay again.

"It would not have been included in our shortlist"
As we are two couples, our main criteria when looking for a holiday villa is that it MUST have two bathrooms.Although you advertise La Piccolo Torre as having two, it only has the one. This was most upsetting and very inconvenient. This problem is not new, as the visitors book mentions it on several occasions going back two or three years.This is misrepresentation and should be addressed to prevent disappointment to others. One of the bedrooms was far too small for the double bed that had been put in it which left no provision for any kind of wardrobe. After deciding that we had to make the best of it, we had an enjoyable stay.
We advertise on two sites - holiday lettings and owners direct - holiday lettings did not allow provision for a separate toilet and sink(but no shower or bath) to be ticked on the specification so at the time of the booking this could have been misleading although the house description clearly gives an account of each room in detail. We changed our holiday lettings spec. to state one bathroom only immediately after receiving this feedback and responding to the clients concerns.
There is a photo of the second room which gives a good representation of the size of the second bedroom, although the room has no wardrobe we provide plenty of hanging space in the actual room. Ice can be made at the top of the fridge. As the owners we strive to represent our property in a true manner and provide a welcoming and real experience of Italian living, the house is old and full of character and history which is supposed to be its main charm, we feel we offer exceptional and competitive value which is supported by many positive comments in our guest book over the last six years.

Buying a bike in Cali without residency?
Hey guys, I'm from Australia and want to get a one way ticket to LA, buy a XR650 or ktm 690 enduro, set it up and ride to chile.
I've got no idea of the legality of my idea though.
Am I able to register it in my name?
Can I ride across boarders to Mexico?
Would I even be allowed in the country with a one way ticket?
As for the bike, what's the best way to buy one and set it up for someone like myself who won't have tools or a workshop?

I don't have any answers for you, but here in the USA California is regarded as the most difficult and expensive state to do most anything in.
If you're not locked into somewhere in CA I would consider flying into Oregon or Arizona instead. Laws and taxes are different in each state here.
And AZ will lock you up and make you wear pink underwear if your green card status isn't perfect... come to LA and have a burrito... it's all good. :clap
Maybe there is the info you need here, but I have not looked carefully:
Good luck.
Oregon has no sales tax but being a out of state person you might not have to pay Cal sales tax. Az will not charge sales tax if you buy a used bike from a privet party. You will need a address so the DMV can mail the papers on the bike. You will need to have the papers for the bike to clear into Mexico so you can get a import permit for the bike and your stuff you bring in. This is a great plain and will be fun to pull off. Find a safe place to stay at night, but a guy on a bike should be OK.
u need to be an Oregon resident to get a tax exempt vehicle from a dealer
being out of state has never gained Me tax exempt in any other state as far as vehicles
check this out
Check this thread out, Adam Lewis bought a DR650 back east and was able to get papers on it, he's from England. http://www.advrider.com/forums/showthread.php?t=582578
I am a 'fixer' for travelers.
I can get you registration, in your name in one day, no license or insurance needed. Title will be in your name.
I can get you insurance for USA. No USA license needed.
You use my address.
The title takes 21 days to come so allow for that if you want to leave for Mexico mainland.
You need actual title to travel to Mexico mainland, not for Baja, not for USA travel.
I can buy a bike for you and get it ready or can help you when you arrive.
We also rent rooms on availability.
Southern California is absolutely the best place to buy, lots of low mileage choices and great condition because of weather.
If you want to start looking (and use me) try craigslist 'all of los angeles'.....or..Ebay '75 miles from 91711'
This should get you started.
email me for simple price list.
Oh, the one way ticket I know little about. BUT a traveler just did it to my house. Hans from Norway. He is on the road now.
I believe he said they only gave him a 90 day stretch when he entered.
It's good to have a destination address and a travel itinerary, but yes it can be done.
Hans is Hansi on here, you may find him somewhere.
I have helped four this year alone.
Whoops. I'll be gone from 11/11/2013 until about 5/11/2014 or maybe 4/11 we'll see.
email me and we'll figure out a plan.
a one way ticket... they won't even let you out of the LA airport.
I'd be more concerned about riding a motorcycle through Mexico.
Yes. It's really disconcerting. Don't do it.

Daily Deal 2/25/13: The Corner
Every morning I wake up to an inbox overloaded with special offers, deals, flash sales and hot items. So why not let me do the work for you? I have looked through them all to pick the deal you just can't miss! Whether it's an on trend item, a fantastic sale or a classic staple piece, rest assured I will give you the daily deal worth buying.
Sometimes it's really fun to shop for "bargains" among the higher end designers like Missoni, Rick Owens and Marni. The Corner is one of my favorite places to drool, I mean shop, because of their crazy array of items and some of the best unique pieces I have ever seen. And right now they are offering up to 70% off of designer items. A lot of the pieces are leftover Winter items but if you look, there are still plenty of pieces that can be worn through the Spring.
Some of the best finds are their accessories. They have some of the funkiest rings and bracelets you will ever find. But remember, these items even at 70% off will still cost you a few bucks, so get something that is different not trendy. Another place where you will find some great deals are on the Missoni pieces which never go out of style. There are dresses, sweaters, scarves. It's always a happy day to get Missoni on sale!

The Global FlyFisher - The Largest and Best Place to go for Online Fly Fishing and Fly Tying
Global FlyFisher
Use your eyes
This rather bland piece of advice can create success for most fly fishers.
Fish actually show themselves more often than most people think. And I don't just mean fish that jump out of the water with loud, obvious splashes on a mirror smooth surface, but also small whirls in a riffled surface or shadows over the bottom on a sunny day.
Use your eyes and be on the lookout for movements in the water - even in rough water. More than a few fishers imagine that you can only see fish touching the surface when it's quiet, but not so. Even when there's foam on the top, you can often see your quarry when it moves.
|Obvious and huge splashes
are not the only signs of fish.
Look for the subtle signs too.
Martin Joergensen photo
The key is to look for differences and variations: a quiet swirl in randomly turbulent area, an odd splash in a calmly moving surface, foam or sprays in soft waves. All these and more can be indicators of fish under the surface. Even fish moving half a meter or 1-2 feet down in the water can stir the surface. Don't count on a 10-lbs. fish underneath, but it won't do any harm to cast to the spot. The splash can be a coincidence, but you might as well fish to a splash than any other random spot.
If fishing slows down or comes to a complete halt and no movement is seen, go sit on the bank or beach and watch the water. Leave it alone for 10 or 15 minutes, and you will be surprised; often a fish will show in the spot where you were wading just a minut ago.
|The third piece of advice: Don't wade too far...
|More great articles on The Global FlyFisher
|A couple of random articles
MangoThe Mickey Finn is one of the first streamers many beginning fly tyers learn to tie. Kasper Mühlbach never used it and for years a yellow and orange fly was missing in his fly box. Last year he was inspired to tie a replacement.

Publisher's Description
These devotionals provide rich reflections on every aspect of a grandmother's life: keeping up with the grandchildren, whether they're near or far away; changing relationships with adult children; maintaining and handing down family traditions; passing on the blessings of faith to a new generation; all the while keeping active at work, church and in the community. Meet dynamic grandmas like Carol Knapp, Marilyn Morgan King, Mary Lou Carney and Carol Kuykendall as they share their own experiences with God and the grandkids. Each devotional contains a short Scripture, a true, first-person anecdote, told in an informal, conversational style, that shares the ways God speaks to us in the ordinary events of life, and a brief prayer to focus the reader's own prayers and put the day's message to work in her own life.
