|Key Info
Villa Pavone B is a welcoming apartment that covers the entire first floor of a villa surrounded by the greenery. It sleeps five people. From Villa Pavone B you will enjoy a broad view of the valley and of the surrounding countryside. Villa Pavone B is 60 square meters (645 square feet). It features a shared swimming pool, a shared patio, a shared garden, winter heating and WI-FI Internet access.
You will be roughly 5 km (3.1 miles) from the medieval hamlet of Montone, where you will find restaurants and shops. You will reach Villa Pavone B from the main entrance of the building along an external stairway which consists of approximately 20 steps.
To stay at Villa Pavone B you will need a car. You will be able to park it free of charge on the premises.
Villa Pavone B is one of the holiday homes available in a small complex. Please find a general description of the complex below, and please scroll further down for a description of Villa Pavone B.
Villa Pavone is in the middle of a 120-hectare agricultural farm which stretches over a verdant valley at the same height of the secure medieval hamlet of Montone, a small village which is listed as one of the most beautiful hamlets in the world.
Almost the whole land of the farm is actually pasture or range, being used to breed cattle of the famous Chianina breed. Cultivations and breeding of animals are developed with organic methods. The old countryside houses have been restored to host guests in small apartments which still keep the simple warm and cozy furnishing style of country homes.
At your arrival at the villa, you will notice a group of age-old buildings in grey stones surrounded by the verdant countryside scenery. Porticos and outdoor staircases render the façades picturesque. In front of the villa, there is a large courtyard around which the outdoor spaces available to all guests are distributed: the swimming-pool, the sun-drenched area, the gazebo, the barbecue, and the playground for kids.
You will be greeted by the kind and friendly proprietors: they will soon make you plunge into the relaxing atmosphere of a simple and tranquil vacation where you will be in contact with nature and all the activities developed in the countryside.
All around you will soon notice that the animals are kept free: a couple of some splendid peacocks and several cats, just to begin with. And there also the shelters under which cows and calves are placed, kept in outdoor areas not far from the houses so that you can easily feel in the air the perfume of stables, typical of real life in the countryside and not a trait invented by tourist tales…
An extraordinary resource of the farm is the spring of mineral water which flows not far from the house: its temperature is the same all year round, which means it comes from deep underground. During summer you will find it delightful and unique to get fresh water straight from its source!
Also in the place, it is possible to purchase products from the farm, vegetables, salamis, and homemade sweets, not mentioning the opportunity to taste super-size grilled steaks taken from the Chianina breed. Breakfast and dinner is available upon booking.
The farm is located within a natural reserve area where hunting is forbidden. Mountains bikes are available for you to visit the place and surroundings. In the farm, you will also find a lake where you can go fishing and a bocce field. You may also see all the activities which are run inside the farm, especially apiculture. As guests of the farm, you will be able to attend and have a discount on a thermal bath establishment in Umbertide, only 5 km (about 3 miles) away.
In the small reception hall of the farm, you will find all the information regarding tourist activities of the region and a socket suitable for laptops and internet connections.
Swimming Pool
The swimming pool is 8 meters (26 feet) large by 16 meters (52 feet) long. The swimming pool area is equipped with tables, chairs, sun umbrellas, sun loungers and a gazebo. From the swimming pool you will enjoy a nice view of the greenery and of the surrounding countryside. You will share the pool with guests staying at another nearby villa.
The patio is shaded by a large porch. It is equipped with tables and chairs. Here you will also find a barbecue and a wood-fired pizza oven. The patio is shared with guests staying at another nearby villa.
In the garden you will find a fenced children's playground. From the garden you will enjoy a broad view of the swimming pool and of the greenery. You will share the garden with guests staying at another nearby villa.
Living Room
The living room is paved with terracotta tiles. The furnishings are cozy and comfortable. The furnishings include a sofa and a divan bed for one guest. In the living room you will also find a cooking area. The kitchenette is equipped with a four-burner gas cooker, an electric oven and a small refrigerator without freezer. The dining table can accommodate four guests. In this room you will find a television. From the living room you will be able to enter the balcony with a view of the garden and of the hills through a French door.

Both bedrooms have windows overlooking the countryside, and the bathroom features a wet room (open shower area).
The house is furnished in a simple and cozy way, following the typical country style of Umbria. The floor is in terracotta and the ceiling features wood-joists support and terracotta bricks. The kitchenette is equipped with a four-burner stove and a fridge.

The swimming-pool and outdoor spaces
Close to the villa you will find the beautiful 8x16 meter (26 x 52 feet) swimming-pool, surrounded by umbrellas and deck chairs. The swimming-pool features different depths so that even your kids can swim in it, and it is also spring-water fed.
Next to the swimming-pool you will find two areas to relax in the shade, a large gazebo furnished with tables and chairs, and a portico, which is also equipped with several tables and chairs available to all the guests. Under the portico there is a large oven used to prepare the specialty of the farm, the Chianina meat, and a bit farther, there is a large barbecue ready to be used during large cookouts when you can gather your friends under the stars. On an angle of green lawn enclosed by hedges your kids will find a slide and a seesaw where they can play.

The Umbria region
Umbria, located in the middle of the Italian peninsula, above Latium (the region of Rome) and next to Tuscany, is the only region of Italy that does not have access to the Mediterranean. Despite this, it possesses, as you might have already heard, a "vocation for beauty".
The region is well known for its picturesque settings, the lightness and purity of the air, the presence of thermal and mineral water springs, the lakes and rivers and the spectacular waterfalls. Here life flows slowly, and people like to cling to their ancient traditions, keeping them alive through history.
Umbria is a region of mountains, hills and valleys. It is crossed by the Appenines mountains, which often slope down into gentle hills and allow for charming valleys crossed by rivers, such as the Tiber valley (the Tiber will eventually reach Rome) and the Nera valley, through which the Chiascio and Topino Rivera flow. In such a varied landscape expect to find the largest waterfall of Italy, Le Marmore, as well as lakes of volcanic origin, such as Lake Trasimeno and Lake Piediluco.
Umbria is also a region of small medieval town and villages, artistic gems which have maintained their original aspect and are at a short distance from one another. They all preserve noteworthy works of art, in the churches, in the art galleries and in the characteristic squares. The mystery of the Etruscan stones, the boldness of the Roman works, the pureness of the Christian architecture and the mildness of the Renaissance paintings are all to be found within the borders of Umbria. Those who have browsed a tourist guide will recognize the names of Perugia, Gubbio, Spoleto, Todi, Orvieto, Assisi, Spello, Trevi, Cascia, Norcia -- a few of the most notable towns of Umbria.
And when it is time to sit at the table, in Umbria you will find a solid culinary tradition, simple yet tasty, based on what the land has to offer: olive oil, hog, lamb, durham wheat pasta of the best quality and the colombaccio, the wood-pigeon that Umbrians love. The gourmets will also be able to feast on the black truffle of the Norcia region, exported from Umbria all over the world.
Stroll brick-paved streets and admire balconies draped with colourful flowers; discover nature, medieval art and tradition. Welcome to Montone, where nearly 880 years of history would inspire anyone: families, romantics, nature lovers and tranquillity-seekers alike.
Montone is not very popular, but you'll be surprised of this anonymity because, once arrived, it's really hard not to fall in love with it. The village is situated on top of a hill, at 482 mt above the sea level and 40km from Perugia, overlooking the confluence of the rivers Tevere and Carpina... an authentic intact medieval jewel!
Experience the heritage of "uno dei 100 borghi più belli d'Italia" - one of the most beautiful 100 hamlets in Italy - walking through narrow corridors and tortuous enchanting alleys, alternated by large flights of steps to reach the old town centre.
The village is surrounded by imposing walls, holding the stately bell towers and the magnificent Rocca di Braccio, whose remains have been ably restored (after the destruction, in 1478 at the hand of Pope Sixtus IV) and suggest the idea of its real importance.
The history of Montone followed, step by step, the ups and downs of the noble family of Fortebracci, until the XV, when the town reached its maximum splendour thanks to Braccio da Montone.
Braccio da Montone was a great commander of a group of mercenaries, famous to be a cunning strategist and unscrupulous politician, that the 28th of August 1414, transformed Montone into a county and became his earldom. Braccio da Montone was the protagonist of one of the most audacious attempts to create, within the central Italy, an independent state from the Papal States.
Luxuriant landscapes and pure fresh healthy air are the worthy frame of this unmissable hamlet: it's hard to suggest prearranged itineraries... better if you personally discover unpredictable sites, enjoy the stunning panoramic views and the vibrant, but quiet, everyday life of the local craftsman's studios and modest little houses secured within the ancient city walls.
Montone offers numerous opportunities to spend relaxing unforgettable moments in harness with pure nature. All over the year you can attend various cultural and folkloric events, like:
* the popular "Donazione della Santa Spina": that saint thorns are the extreme symbols of the Passion of Christ, sign of authentic royalty, paradoxical compared to the human ones. In a burning atmosphere, under the hot sun of August, the hearts get excited and the three wards in Montone (Borgo, Monte and Verziere) start fighting, reproducing scenes of medieval life and competing in archery competitions, in order to win the palio and the Lady of the Castle, Margherita Malatesta di Rimini, wife of Count Charles, that governed the city of Montone in the absence of her husband.
* the Ethnographic Museum "Tamburi battenti"
* Rassegna dei Mastri Fabbri Forgiatori
* Rassegna delle Bande Musicali
* Umbria film festival
* the Astronomical Observatory of Coloti as well as the many artistic sites of the neighbouring town of Castello, Gubbio and Umbertide.

Has anyone ever ridden near Magone Lake or along the Nipple Butte trail in Malheur National Forest? This is near John Day.
I hunt deer in this area in the Fall and always thought it would be fun to come back in the summer with my MTB. Maps show a "Magone Bike Area" but I've never seen a review. I am also interested in the Nipple Butte trail, which is open to bikes and has a trailhead near Keeney Meadows (my typical hunting grounds).

RATINGS RAT RACE: 'Ready For Love' Debuts Soft, 'NCIS', 'Splash' & 'DWTS' Hit Lows, 'The Voice' Slips, 'Golden Boy' Up
RATINGS RAT RACE: 'Ready For Love' Debuts Soft, 'NCIS', 'Splash' & 'DWTS' Hit Lows, 'The Voice' Slips, 'Golden Boy' Up
It was the last night of blind auditions on The Voice (4.2/13) on Wednesday. With one spot left on each of the judges' teams, the one-hour show saw a Fleetwood Mac cover, an unsuccessful effort by the lead singer of LA's own Venice and Shakira showing some of her own moves. Although blind auditions tend to be some of the most popular weeks of The Voice season after season, last night the show slipped 7% from the final numbers of its April 2 show. Comparing fast nationals to fast nations, the show was down a tenth from last week. Typically, like American Idol, The Voice sees an adjustment up in final numbers.
With a minute of Voice overrun, next up for NBC was the two-hour premiere of Ready For Love (1.6/4). With lots of promotion in The Voice and the singing show as a lead-in, the Eva Longoria-produced matchmaker series took the spots occupied last week by the season finale of The New Normal and the now-moved Go On and Smash. Hosted by Apprentice first season winner Bill Rancic and E! News' Giuliana Rancic, the show saw a brief cameo introduction by Longoria before moving on to the first of its three male bachelors, the women who want to be theirs and the trio of professional matchmakers. While Ready For Love delivered the best 18-49 rating in the period for NBC since January 15 — with the exception of President Obama's State of the Union address — it was no great shakes. The series was flat with the Season 1 debut of Fashion Star in the same slot onMarch 13, 2012. It was also the struggling network's lowest-rated unscripted premiere in almost a year. Ready For Love did less than Take It All did when that latter debuted on December 10, 2012 with a 2.2/5, and less than Stars Earn Stripes' 1.7/5 on August 13, 2012. NBC won the night among Adults 18-49 but CBS took the viewership top spot with 12.834 million watching.

The return of a new NCIS (2.6/8) began CBS' Tuesday night. The police procedural slid 19% from its last original March 26 to hit a season low. NCIS: LA (2.6/7) was up next, even with its last new show two weeks ago to tie a season low. Freshman Golden Boy (1.5/4) rose 15% in the 10 PM slot from last week's season low.

surrey gay cruisings
Cruising in public places has been part of gay life for centuries.
Men of all different kinds, including many that you might never meet on the gay scene, converge at cruising spots – and all with the same aim in mind.
But if you want to go cruising, there are a few precautions you need to take – to keep it sexy, to avoid being mugged or attacked and to avoid any problems with the police or the public. Sex in public places is not necessarily illegal, so long as other people who might be offended cannot see you and are unaware that you are having sex.

Letters will be edited for clarity and length. All correspondence must include your home city and a daytime phone number.TROUBLED WATER
Michael Collins' "Russians, Rockets and the Santa Ana River" (May 19) was biased and full of inaccuracies and unfounded speculation. Such sensationalism serves to fuel fear, misunderstanding and mistrust in communities and, unfortunately, incites all-too-popular litigative actions that impede environmental cleanup projects.
We would like to provide an accurate account of the Aerojet Chino Hills site, based on historical, scientific and technical facts. These facts are available in public repositories located at the Chino Hills public library and at the office of the state Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC) in Cypress.
A subsidiary of GenCorp, Aerojet owned and operated facilities in Chino Hills from 1954 to 1995. Aerojet owns 400 acres and leased another 400 acres of adjacent land as a buffer zone between the site and the city of Chino Hills. The facility was used to load, assemble and test munitions for the U.S. government. There are no secrets surrounding the facility or the operations conducted there. Aerojet's efforts helped to protect the men and women in uniform who serve this country in times of war and adversity.
Munitions handled at the site primarily involved 25- and 30-millimeter explosive field artillery. Penetrators capable of piercing armor and containing depleted uranium were also assembled and tested, as well as canisters containing tear gas. Other small quantities of chemical agents were tested, but only in contained laboratory settings. Collins takes unfair liberty in describing this as "producing a galaxy of bombs and munitions." His reference to claims that these operations resulted in "chemicals and radioactive poisons oozing from the site" is entirely false and contradicts scientific findings by regulatory agencies and Aerojet after thorough investigation of the site.
Most important, all investigations and risk assessments conducted at the site under DTSC and Department of Health oversight have concluded that:
1) No harmful levels of chemicals are present in surface waters.
2) No harmful levels of chemicals are outside, or migrating from, facility boundaries.
3) Chemicals found do not pose a risk to humans or to the ecological habitat.
We understand concerns by citizens regarding the need for our company and all companies to protect health and safety in every operation. We intend to clean up Chino Hills. We have responded and will continue to respond responsibly. And we are making excellent progress.Rosemary Younts
To Todd Mathews: My letter never suggested you were "pro-Communist," thus your defensive attack that I'm "redbaiting" doesn't work. "Clinton-baiting," maybe (Letters, June 2). The point being it's not hip to attack liberal/Left politicians, thus many journalists only attack conservatives or Republicans. If the shoe fits, it's yours.
As far as standards, it's hard to take seriously journalists who use the phrase "Rohrabacher recorded on a voice vote." Just so you and the guys at the OC Weekly will understand how it works and not embarrass yourself again: on a voice vote, a member's position is not recorded.
For President Bill Clinton's first two years, few in Congress had an idea of how worthless a commitment from Clinton would be. Thus, when he promised security guarantees that would permit business deals with China that meant tens of thousands of jobs for Southern California, I went along. If you can honestly say you would have done differently, then your insight into Clinton has been truly remarkable.
By the way, your answer still did not justify, as my letter suggested, using the phrase that I "proposed giving the Chinese government U.S. missile technology." Just a recommendation from a former journalist:_when you've stepped on your appendage, just admit it and step off. I trusted Clinton's word that there would be no tech transfers. When I discovered that my faith in those assurances was misplaced, I admitted the error and moved on. But never did I propose "giving the Chinese government U.S. missile technology." As a journalist, you do no credit to yourself by not admitting that error and moving on.Representative Dana Rohrabacher

|The state of hormonal contraception today: established and emerging noncontraceptive health benefits.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 21961824 Owner: NLM Status: In-Data-Review
|In the 50 years since the advent of combined oral contraceptives the amount of estrogen in oral contraceptives dropped from over 100 mcg to less than 30 mcg. Many noncontraceptive health benefits have emerged that decrease mortality and improve quality of life. Some of the immediate benefits include improvement of menorrhagia and dysmenorrhea, reduction in premenstrual dysphoric disorder symptoms, and decreased acne. As an effective birth control method oral contraceptives also decrease pregnancy-related deaths by preventing pregnancy. After the reproductive years, previous use of oral contraceptives continues to be beneficial, reducing the risk of death from ovarian and endometrial cancer. All these benefits have held up over time whereas cardiovascular risks have lessened because of the decrease in oral contraceptive pill dosage. Decreased ovarian cyst formation is an example of benefit with higher-dose oral contraceptive formulations that no longer holds true with low-dose pills.

Interoil Exploration & Production ASA: Exploration investment commitments extended Interoil E&P Colombia (IOC) has been awarded a 10 month extension to complete the investment commitments on the LLA-47 exploration block. As per ANH requirements, IOC will proceed with the shooting of seismic in Q4 2013 and Q1 2014, at a total cost of USD 14 million, but will then have more time to drill the required 8 exploration wells by November 29^th 2015. The first well is estimated to be drilled in 4Q 2014. The extension was granted due to delays by the environmental entity in Colombia to issue the necessary permits. IOC will continue its efforts to farm-down its working interest on the block. For more information please contact: Thomas J.

I would like to inform everyone that we are relocating to our new location (directly across the street from our current location) from March 9, 2015 and along with this change that will surely improve the overall educational, fun, and safe learning environment S.I.S. already provides its' families and students, we have also decided on the following as well for the up and coming school year.
After reviewing the past year and taking into consideration the introduction of new schools in the area, I have decided that in addition to our moving to a more convenient location, certain measures must be taken in order to ensure S.I.S. continues to offer families the most choices with regard to enrollment options at the most affordable rates in the area, the most school days by far, an extremely low student-staff ratio, and a staff that makes it all possible. Therefore, I am happy to announce that we will introduce - or rather re-introduce - our original full day program which is from 8:00am-6:00pm.
S.I.S. Full Day Program
With the re-introduction of our original full day program, I hope to meet the needs of those families in which both parents are working or are planning to go back to work. Based on recent enquiries from both Expat and Japanese families, I feel obligated and proud to once again offer a program that allows families to maximize their income potential and more importantly, provides parents with the peace of mind that their child is being well taken care of by an experienced, dedicated and talented staff. The fact that the current waiting list for such a program is over a year in the public sector and while other international schools in the area offer "after-school care" they also charge extra fees.
S.I.S.'s Uniqueness
There is no question that S.I.S. stands by its own merits as a "Progressive International School" that strives to meet each student's educational needs each and every day and also respects parental input. However, the fact the new schools have recently opened requires me to outline several unique factors that all set S.I.S. apart from other area schools so that current families and new ones moving to Nishi-Kasai can make the best decision for their child with regard to their educational needs.
S.I.S. Staff
There is no question that no educational facility can be successful without offering families and their children an experienced, dedicated, attentive, and talented staff that strives to ensure that each day is educational, enjoyable and safe for each and every student. I am confident that you would agree that this year's staff met the criteria mentioned above and that all future staff will undoubtedly do the same.
S.I.S. Offers A Low Student-Staff Ratio
S.I.S. has and will always be the #1 choice for those parents, who truly want their child to receive the daily individual attention he or she needs in order to develop all the skills necessary (behavioral, cognitive, physical, attention, memory, imagination, verbal, listening, math, science, geography, reading and writing) to ensure he or she will be better prepared to handle all their future challenges both in and out of the classroom.
There is no question that such a low ratio allows each S.I.S. staff member to develop a strong personal bond with each and every student which as I am sure you would agree is extremely important, if not the most important, aspect to consider when one is considering which is the best educational environment for their child. The fact is that no matter how talented a staff may be such a bond is simply not possible especially when there are 20-25 students in a class which is the case at other area schools.
S.I.S. Offers More School Days
Another factor that sets S.I.S. apart from other area schools and especially for those families in which both parents are working or seeking to go back to work is the actual amount of yearly school days. While most of the area schools offer an average of 200 official schools and may offer additional days (Spring/Summer/Winter Programs) but at an additional cost, S.I.S. 2015-2016 yearly school schedule has increased to 240 days which once again underlines our commitment to our students and their families.
S.I.S. Offers More Enrollment Programs
While other schools tend to offer core programs and then charge extra for "After School Care" or English lessons (which should be the core of any international school's curriculum as well as included in the fees), S.I.S. offers families 4 programs and even allows families to personalize their schedule based on their weekly schedule. In addition to the various programs and rather than charging by the term, S.I.S. also allows parents to enroll for either 3 at regular rate or 6 months with a discount as well as monthly once one decides they will be leaving Japan. The fact I realize that every family has different needs and that working and living in Japan can be a daunting challenge without the proper support is the main reason S.I.S. offers various enrollment options and personalized schedules.
S.I.S. Offers Several Affordable Tuition Options
The S.I.S. fee structure for each program is extremely competitive based on the overall curriculum which is based on international standards, the duration of each program, the overall yearly school days, the low student-staff ratio, and more importantly, the staff's dedication to each student's development. There is also no question the S.I.S. fees are more affordable based on a monthly fees than other area schools. While the average monthly fee at other area schools for a kindergarten program (generally 9:00am-1:00pm) is around \78,000 per month (not including extra fees such as "after school care" or English lessons), S.I.S.'s Program B fees range between \65,000-70,000 per month depending on one's enrollment commitment. The monthly fee for each of the program S.I.S. offers are designed to once again our underline our commitment to offer more affordable educational options.
In closing, I truly hope that you understand that my personal goal is to continue to offer an effective and enjoyable learning environment at an affordable tuition so that however long a child is in Japan, their educational experience is a positive one that will ensure that when they move on they will be more than ready to handle the challenges he or she will face both in and out of the classroom.
Mr. White
S.I.S. Principal
Why Are S.I.S.'s Elementary Level Programs Setting A New Standard?
Due to the fact our families are so pleased with our school, our staff, and their child's development; they have encouraged us to start our elementary school program. With the introduction of our Elementary School Program, S.I.S.'s Elementary Programs set themselves apart from others by offering the lowest "student~teacher" ratio. S.I.S.'s "student ~teacher" ratio of 1-8 is THE new standard due to the fact other elementary school programs have a ratio of 1-30 on average or more. This will allow the S.I.S. staff, who are sufficiently trained and equipped to teach the S.I.S. elementary curriculum which is based on international standards, to develop a strong personal bond with each student which is vitally important to one's development. The fact S.I.S. will continue to offer more schools days throughout the year also underlines our strong commitment to our families and our students.
Elementary Level 1
Current Enrollment 5 Availability 3
Elementary Level 2!!!!!!

Watch power company when it trims trees
Published: Wednesday, July 30, 2008 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, July 29, 2008 at 9:40 p.m.
The next day the crew arrived. My husband had had some oral surgery the previous day so he wasn't feeling up to supervising (and protecting our interest).
The devastation was horrendous
I came home after walking the dogs and couldn't believe my eyes. Twelve pine trees along the road were cut to the ground.
The crew was working by the power pole. After I went in the house I didn't see them head for the trees along the driveway. Devastation!
REMC claims it doesn't have to remove debris from areas that aren't mowed. This area next to our driveway wasn't mowed because it was all trees. They took down all the trees. Duh!?
Beware folks! Our property has been devalued by this decimation and the power company refuses to help remove the debris.
When a power company comes to your door and tells you what they're going to do be there, supervise, don't let them threaten you. We've been there.

Would this bike be able to handle light touring?
I'm thinking If I fit it with front and rear racks, spread out the load it could work kind of well. It has a pretty solid steel frame. I'm thinking about 50 lbs of gear in total.
But I don't think thats what this bike is built for.
I'd probably think of adding the following
-700x28 tires to handle the extra load (its currently running on 25s) but I do have an extra set of 700x30 tires.
-front & rear racks
that is all!

I've also been looking into connecting via a wireless network and I went to buy the official adapter until I saw the price! The guy behind the counter did tell me that you can only connect using the offical adapter and the consoles are really fussy about stuff like that.

Sheriffs from across upstate are hoping the state Legislature and Gov. Andrew Cuomo will revisit portions of the new gun control law, saying the measure was adopted in haste and targets law-abiding gun owners.
The new gun law was adopted Jan. 15, and it has been a major focus of the state Sheriffs' Association conference this week in Albany.
Some sheriffs said the law takes positive steps to address mental-health issues and access to illegal guns, but they said it also infringes on Second Amendment rights. ...

Citing the city's poor economic stature, residents of a section of Gary, Indiana, are proposing that they split from the city. Some say race and class differences are the undercurrents spurring the idea.
"In recent weeks, a heated, sometimes passionate conversation has unfolded over whether Miller should legally divorce Gary. The idea has been batted around before, but in more abstract ways. This time, some residents are working on a formal plan, circulating fliers and researching how much time and money it would take to break away."
"The discussion illustrates how frustrated some taxpayers and homeowners are with Gary government and an image of struggling schools, corruption and high crime. Crime statistics still rank the city as one of the nation's most violent. Test scores in public schools are below the national average, and recently the state ordered city leaders to cut $11 million from the budget."
"'The city of Gary is in terrible financial shape, and it's not due to the amount of money they collect,' said Nat McKnight, who's trying to gauge interest in the idea of breaking away. 'They are not willing to economize and protect the tax base. That's what disannexation is all about. It might be better for Gary and Miller if this comes to pass.'"
"Still, the discussion has unleashed strong emotions in this laid-back region. Those in favor of splitting say that they are not rich, but the idea of formal separation looks to some like the wealthy removing themselves from the poor. And in a polarized city, some can't help but see racial undertones to the idea, true or not. The city is majority African-American, and many of those leading the discussion about separating are white."

LAST UPDATED: 2:45 p.m. HST, Jan 17, 2014
The state Public Utilities Commission has scheduled public meetings next week on Oahu and Maui to gather comment on a proposal to connect the electrical grids of the two islands with an undersea transmission cable.
The first meeting is scheduled for 6 p.m. Tuesday at the Farrington High School Cafeteria in Honolulu. The second is scheduled for 6 p.m. Thursday at the Pomaikai Elementary School Cafeteria in Kahului.
The PUC is investigating whether a transmission cable between the two islands is in the public interest. The Commission is looking at issues such as whether the benefits to utility ratepayers would exceed the cost of the cable, which the Department of Business, Economic Development and Tourism estimates would be around $700 million. The PUC also wants to know about potential development risks and how they would be mitigated.
The meeting will start with presentations by representatives from the PUC, DBEDT and the office of the state Consumer Advocate. Following the presentations the PUC will take comments from the audience.

Associations Now
Super Trooper
Associations Now,
February 2008
, Feature
By: Samantha Whitehorne
Kathy Cloninger had big plans for the Girl Scouts of the USA when she took over as CEO—and they were about more than cookies. They were about creating the go-to leadership experience for girls. Here's a look at where she's gone and where she's going.
When Kathy Cloninger walked into her New York City office in 2003, she may have been the new CEO, but she was far from being a new Girl Scout. That career began as a second grader, when she joined her mother's troop in Dallas, Texas. Years later, that same Girl Scout would be responsible for the greatest transformation the organization has seen in its 96 years.
Cloninger came in determined to move the Girl Scouts of the USA from its old image of cookies and merit badges to the new image she wanted to create: GSUSA as the premier leadership experience for girls. To reach this goal, Cloninger developed a five-step strategy for revitalizing the organization, which included developing a new volunteer model, streamlining the organizational structure and governance system, and launching a revitalized brand.
Almost five years later, Cloninger continues to push GSUSA into its next phases—and make leaders out of girls. Associations Now had the chance to speak with Cloninger about the success she's had and what she's learned along the way.
Associations Now: When you first came in as CEO, what did you see as the most pressing issues facing the Girl Scouts of the USA?
Cloninger: It was the image of Girl Scouting. I thought a lot about our founder Juliette Low, who was out there doing things and putting things in the nontraditional public eye. When I first came in, the public image of Girl Scouting had become unclear. We were no longer "the" place for girls. People didn't know what we stood for or where we were going.
I wanted to make sure that Girl Scouts remains the go-to place for girls and their issues—as it was when I was growing up. I wanted to reposition us as bold and brave, much like Juliette Low's girl scouts were and much like our new mission statement says. [The new mission: Girl Scouting builds girls of courage, confidence, and character, who make the world a better place.]
When it came to developing GSUSA's new mission statement and transformation plan, you developed a crossfunctional and nonhierarchical team of 26 people. How do you think this team contributed to the overall success of the plan and statement?
They were critical. While our core strategy process is at the center, we wouldn't be where we are today without the energy and commitment of every single member of this team. While national headquarters staff and grassroots communities at the local level had been involved in these processes previously, we didn't always involve our other partners in the future thinking that we were doing. So the team I set out to form in this process was not only cross departmental, but we included local volunteers and people who were not in top management in order to get the most collaborative team that we could. …
To facilitate the process, we worked with strategy coach Willie Pieterson to reinvent our strategy. He had never tried this with a nonprofit organization and with a team of this size. We wanted to make sure the team was not only geographically diverse but also ethnically diverse. What made it even harder is that everyone wanted to be on it.
I remember sitting with him one day, as we were shaping up what the recommendations were going to be. He looked at me and said, "Do you realize you are sitting on one of the greatest moments of transformation? Are you ready to lead significant transformation? If you're willing to do it, it has to be from the inside out." It was at that moment that I realized we were about to do something significant.
As an outsider, it seems like it's been a relatively smooth process. Has that been the case?
Well, it's certainly not been easy. We had to narrow down the voices of more than three million people to 26 team members. But in terms of scale, there have been a lot less problems than anticipated. Our volunteers have been working together to merge five or six councils down to one. Volunteer chairs have been willing to give up their duties, because they see the larger picture. And I really think that's one of the reasons this whole realignment and restructuring has worked. … We have an amazing cadre of women and men who absolutely believe Girl Scouting is the vision for girls around the world. Our staff, members, and volunteers are the biggest proponents of making our strategy more relevant to girls and to developing their leadership skills. The new mission statement has really resonated with people.
We started with some of the change, created the need for change, and were able to harness and show people that Girl Scouts could not continue without change. We developed the mantra, "The status quo has got to go." We all knew what we had to do—and we continue to do that every day.
One of the major and most difficult parts of your realignment was to reduce the number of local councils from a little more than 300 to 109. Can you talk a bit about this process and where you are with it?
Well, we really wanted to rebrand as part of this movement and develop a whole new leadership of where we wanted to be. So one of the first things we had to ask is, "What's in the way of keeping us from getting there?"
One was our structure. With 312 different offices, it was difficult for us to move ahead in an integrated, powerful, one-voice way. We were looking to create an infrastructure with different levels of support and structure. We knew it would definitely not be cookie cutter.
A number of criteria were factored into creating the new councils. We looked to incorporate entire media markets and to provide a funding base for each council that could support a number of positions, including a CEO, chief operating officer, chief financial officer, and directors of information technology, public relations, human resources, and fund development. We also made sure to take into account population growth.
Our early adopters started the realignment process in August 2006 after the map of the new councils was approved. Right now we are down to 200 councils. Councils are going through the merger training process and we have consultants out in the field.
The process of merging is difficult, but it will allow us to free up more resources to deliver greater impact to both the girls and our volunteers—and that's what's most important to everyone involved.
Girl Scouts is also focusing its efforts on building the leaders of tomorrow. There's a lot of talk about the leadership shortage that nonprofits will face in the upcoming years. Why is it so important to build this next generation of leadership?
Here we are, sitting in 2008, and we are in a crisis of leadership—very far from what I think is grounded, ethical leadership. I find it very troubling that there are very few women in leadership roles in this country. We have very few women running state government. As an organization, we started to look at what we need to do. In fact, we are about to publish our own research on leadership and girls and why they do or do not aspire to be leaders. [See sidebar on page 30 for some statistics.]
We need to redefine leadership for young people. Unfortunately, there are a lot of people out there who are not good role models. To me, leadership is really about girls understanding that it is about self-confidence. It's about showing them that leadership is first an internal grounding, and then it is an empathy and seeing yourself as part of a larger community and making things happen. If we teach them to take action to make the world a better place and care about the greater good, they will live their leadership roles more effectively. It's not so much about creating a leadership pipeline, but rather it's about taking a holistic approach to instilling leadership in the next generation.
You are also building the leadership skills of the more than one million adult Girl Scouts—many of whom are your volunteers. Why is this necessary?
They have to understand [leadership] in order to mentor and advise a group of girls. If adults don't understand leadership from the inside out, they will not be able to have as successful of a relationship with the girls.
Look what we've done when it comes to our volunteer structure. We have begun to reach out to volunteers in different places. Traditionally we recruit mothers. But now we have started to expand and have gone onto college campuses to get young women who do not yet have their own children. These women are the individuals these girls will look up to and want to emulate. By giving them leadership skills, they will be able to successfully pass them down to the next group of leaders—and people worldwide will benefit from this.
Moving away from your governance and volunteer structure, I read that one of the first staffing changes you made was to appoint a senior vice president for fund development. Why?
Within the foundation community, only five percent of money goes to women and girls. Since the majority of poor in this country are women and children, we have to get at women and their families and children. It's just a tiny piece of our philanthropy.
We represent girls and the issues they face daily, so I saw a need to focus on [fundraising] internally. It is an integral part of ensuring the future of girls and women. I was actually wowed when I heard that we did not have an employee who focused on this.
What's the most surprising thing you've learned so far as CEO of the Girl Scouts of the USA?
How ready I think our membership and the public at large is for girl scouting to do this work. How much they want us to be the national voice for girls … and how proud they are of this organization.
Another surprising thing? How little time I get to go to the gym.
What do you think it takes to be a successful leader today?
An inner confidence and passion for what you do. If you're not jazzed about it, it's going to be really hard to go to work every day fighting for something. I am lucky because that is not at all a concern for me.
It also takes a lot of courage and discipline. You may have to take risks that may not be popular, but you have to have the discipline to stick with it. And even when you feel that it's just too hard, you can't give up. And you can't be stubborn. You have to adjust as you go along.
Most importantly, you really have to care about making the world better. It can't be about you personally—and it can't even be about your own company or organization. It has to be about how your organization can make the world a better place.
You've taken the Girl Scouts a long way from where it was when you first came on as CEO. Where do you see the organization in the next five years?
As the premier leadership and go-to organization for girls—10 million girls strong with the diverse population of the U.S. reflected in its membership. That's all I can ask for—and I think we're more than on our way there.

Fit would be hit or miss. If you can find another cheap frame from the same era, you may have better luck.

Speaking of which
Way I understand it...Miyata was the Japanese company whose bikes were imported to the U.S. Koga-Miyata was the importer for Europe and continues to import them to this day.
Beautiful Cresta! I had one once but sold it to get an '85 Trek 520. If mine had looked like yours currently does, I would have kept it!
A Sabliere frame is available on Ebay:
No connection.
Needs a titanium quill stem.
I have one and love it. I tried to mount some Schwalbe Smart Sams in 40 or 45 and they wouldn't fit. I want to say they were 45s, though. I have some tubeless hutchinsons on there now.
I have one of those. Beautiful frames! Also, I love the Sugino Mighty Comp cranks.

Nice! I picked up a '72 in blue a while back. It had been modified over the years, and the paint is rough (only a head badge left). Is yours all original?

Yeah, the corrosion doesn't hurt it quite as badly as it does steel. You could remove bubbled paint, polish to a shine, and wax if you didn't feel like using touch up paint.
Ok, I give up. I can't find any touch up paint in the states.

Wow, that looks like it's been propagating for a while. Good catch!
I had one of those Crestas, but I think mine was a year earlier. Nice frame. Pretty slack angles, though. Go ride it off road and make your decision.

Spoofing Spoofiness YKTTW Discussion
|Spoofing Spoofiness
Mocking a spoof's method of spoofingNeeds Examples
We're splitting this off from Parody Failure and Narrow Parody, which are confusing pages that we discovered include several unrelated things - this, ParodyShoutOut, SpoofedTheIronicFilmSeriously, Spoofed With Their Own Words and RedundantParody. __________ Parodies make fun of dramas, comedies, action, romance and every other genre imaginable. But what about other parodies? Yup. They mock those too. These targeted spoofs, like all works, conform to certain rules and vary in quality, creating room for other works to give them a taste of their own medicine. For cases when a spoof doesn't realize its source material is a spoof, see Spoofed The Ironic Film Seriously. When the spoof unwittingly lifts a joke directly from the source spoof, it's a Redundant Parody.
- The first Scary Movie film mocked a lot of horror movies, but it reserved its harshest treatment for the Scream series, which was itself tongue-in-cheek. Scary Movie mocked ''Scream' characters' blasé attitudes and attempts to deconstruct the horror genre while falling into its usual traps.
- The movie Not Another Not Another Movie tells the story of a talentless team of moviemakers who make a parody movie in the vein of the many spoofs from the 2000s.
- The first Austin Powers films were spoofs of spy films, particularly James Bond. By the third installment, the movie just mocked its own movies - movies that were themselves parodies.
- The Office's David Brent parodies the tendency for British mimics to spoof comic personas like Dame Edna. Brent fancies himself a genius comedian, his reliance on riffing on these kind of characters is a pretty clue that ultimately he's got nothing.
- David Brent's Transatlantic Equivalent Michael Scott is also shown to fall back on stock parodies and well-worn catchphrases, often cribbed from Saturday Night Live. His failure with these mocks the routines themselves.
- How I Met Your Mother: In one episode, Ted suggests that Weird Al do a parody called "Wake Me Up Before You Pogo."
- 30Rock: Weird Al's many food-related parodies got some fun poked at them in an episode where all Jenna's serious songs were "parodied" by simply replacing the lyrics with names of food.
- Many web sources have tried their hand spoofing the critically-panned works of Seltzer and Friedberg.
- Cracked capped its analysis of the movies with an insulting plan for a future installment: Vampire Movie. This proved eerily prescient; Seltzer and Friedberg's next film turned out to be Vampires Suck.
- The Soup similarly offered its parody of the parodies entitled Reference Movie.
- Star Wars spoofs have become so common that when South Park did a brief one at the start of its final Imaginationland episode, it called out the concept as unoriginal and then chastised itself for relying on it.
- The Simpsons: The New York episode featured a peek inside the offices of MAD Magazine. A group of writers try to come up with a witty name for an Everybody Loves Raymond spoof. "How about Everybody Hates Raymond?" suggests one writer, to unanimous applause.
- Family Guy: Brian and Stewie found themselves transported into the world of Robot Chicken in one episode. The characters mocked the show's tendency to use references as jokes.

Best known to small-screen devotees as sales representative Jim Halpert, the eternally patient, undeclared admirer of Pam Beesly (Jenna Fischer) on Greg Daniels' hit NBC sitcom/mockumentary The Office, Massachusetts native John Krasinski graduated from Rhode Island's Brown University in 2001 as an honors playwright, but quickly segued into acting. Within three years launched himself into films, predominantly with bit roles and supporting parts, but consistently echoing the promise that he would soon find himself among number-one box-office draws and Tinseltown heartthrobs. By 2006, in fact, People Magazine featured Krasinski in its "Sexiest Men" issue, a testament to the actor's rapidly growing recognition in the eyes of the public.
Born October 20, 1979, Krasinski grew up and attended high school in Newton, an affluent western suburb of Boston. After receiving his degree from Brown, Krasinski studied at the National Theater Institute. 2004 marked the actor's "breakthrough year," with fleeting appearances in no less than four A-list productions. That year, he had bit parts as Ben in the American Zoetrope film Kinsey, a biopic of sex researcher Alfred Kinsey, directed by Bill Condon and starring Liam Neeson; Bob Flynn in Matt Mulhern's finely wrought (and underappreciated) alcoholism drama Duane Hopwood starring David Schwimmer; Messenger #3 in Tim Story's urban comedy Taxi, with Queen Latifah and Jimmy Fallon; and the British CG-animated fantasy Doogal (aka, The Magic Roundabout), which didn't find U.S. release until early 2006. The first two of these films were widely lauded sleepers, the last two critically despised (though they failed to hurt Krasinski's career, given the low profile of his involvement).
The Office followed in 2005. Adapted by Daniels from a hit 2001 British series of the same title, the program -- a ratings bonanza on NBC -- stars Daily Show vet Steve Carell as Michael Scott, the tactless, vain, pushy, and loudmouthed (yet well-meaning) director of the Dunder-Mifflin paper company. While Carell's off-the-wall antics spiked the series with a never-ending source of hilarity, the gradually developing relationship between Krasinski's Jim and Fischer's Pam (two straight roles) brought the series weight and solicited interest from those viewers seeking deeper and more meaningful character development. Perhaps sensing this, Daniels opted to stretch their courtship at a snail's pace over the course of several seasons.
Krasinski would appear in several movies even as The Office's success continued on the small screen, like Jarhead, The Holiday, For Your Consideration, License to Wed, Leatherheads, Away We Go, and Big Miracle.
