Sorry, can't tell you anything regarding the carb but have you checked the air filter and muffler? If either of these are clogged they could be the source of the problem. As for the carb specs, you might try leaving a post at www.sears.com in the Craftsman area.
Here is a new 800 number for those who are unfortunate enough to have purchased a Sear's product. I think they are trying to change their image since this number will (they say) be able to get you in touch with any parts for their or other manufacturers product, owners manuals and repair manuals. I havn't tried it, so let us know if it is helpful....
800-469-4663 6am to 11pm Central Standard
800-469-4663 6am to 11pm Central Standard
Can the float actually be set? I would bet on some water in the carb. Have you drained the gas from the plug at the base of the float? I have to do that to mine every time I leave it out in the rain.
Sometimes what happens is the float can get stuck if the mower hasn't been run in a while...one remedy for this is rather barbaric, but works. You just pick the mower up about a foot off the ground and drop it. This usually frees the float, and a carburetor cleaner should be added to the fuel afterwards to remove any build up. A spray-type cleaner should be used on the outside too to remove any build-up that can inhibit the movement of parts.

In-House Academy Custom Trains Colorado Parole Officers
Kanan, Mary, Corrections Today
With state governments facing severe budget reductions and hiring freezes, can a handful of people within a large correctional department make an organizational change in an effort to transform offenders on parole?
Starting with a mission and mandate from Gov. Bill Ritter to cut prison populations through reduced recidivism, the Colorado Department of Corrections' Division of Adult Parole, Community Corrections and Youthful Offender System (APCCYOS) is investing what it has in abundance: intellectual capital. Colorado has created a promising professional development strategy that places parole officers with combined training in evidence-based practices and parole strategies and procedures on the front lines of Gov. Ritter's challenge. New community parole officers do not arrive already fluent in motivational interviewing and other evidence-based practices. Instead, new officers are trained and developed at the Kathleen Recla Academy, the only dedicated parole-specific academy in the nation within a department of corrections setting.
The year 2008 was busy for CDOC. The department received ACA's Gold Eagle Award for achieving full accreditation. At the same time it began strategically employing reentry concepts and integrating evidence-based practices to more effectively work toward reduced recidivism. The department and the division are encouraging and supporting dialogue between management and line staff in an effort to foster a lifelong learning approach to leadership. It offers communication tools such as motivational interviewing, and other evidence-based practices successfully in use in other sectors, and moves to apply them to the habilitation of offenders. The Kathleen Recla Academy, part of the ProfessionalDevelopment @RECLA group, is a productive part of this collaborative process.
Training Academy
Formed in the summer of 2007 with the support of CDOC Executive Director Aristedes Zavaras and APCCYOS Director Jeaneene Miller, the Resource for Education/Career/Leadership/Advancement (RECLA) Academy memorializes community parole officer Kathleen Recla, a model officer whom the agency lost to cancer in 2006. Planning and action took a fast track in July and August 2007 and by September the first academy class arrived. With no permanent home, the academy was lent a classroom at the National Institute of Corrections training facility and another from the Environmental Protection Agency's National Enforcement Training Institute. For six weeks the academy traveled between NIC and NETI on a week-by-week basis using whatever suitable classroom the federal facilities might have available. The academy graduated its first class of 32 community parole officers on Oct. 12, 2007, with a total staff of four and an operating budget roughly the salary of a mid-level administrative assistant.
With no funds for faculty, ProfessionalDevelopment@RECLA (PD@RECLA) faced its first daunting hurdle--where to find individuals with substantive expertise and teaching skills. As it turned out, these individuals were mostly in its own backyard. A divisionwide call was sent out explaining what RECLA was trying to accomplish and asking for volunteers. Within one week 13 had signed up, which quickly grew to nearly 70. Bright and enthusiastic instructors emerged from all sectors of the division, including reentry, mental health, administration, legal, the youthful offender system and operations. Experience was offered from other areas of CDOC, offender and victim advocacy groups, and the external community.
Before they instruct students, faculty community parole officers complete 24 hours of instructor training in lesson plan development, teaching styles, classroom presentation and materials preparation, all while maintaining full caseloads. PD@RECLA guided course development takes into account department approved policies and practices, ACA standards and state administrative regulations. An instructor's presentation, however, always includes a real-world perspective and frequent references to personal experience in the application of the taught principals. …

Ukiah Daily Journal (Newspaper) - June 18, 1969, Ukiah, California VOLUME CIX 10c Per Copy UKIAH, MENDOCINO COUNTY, CALIFORNIA-Wednesday, June 18, 1969 Sixteen Pages ... No. 42 Public works department I -v - rapped in Cal-Tax report Lack of organization, operation weak points RAINY DAY ASSIGNMENT - When Journal photographer Mike Williams was told to gji get a pretty girl-in the courthouse and offer his umbrella to shield her spring outfit from the unseasonable June rain this morning, he accepted with alacrity. On reaching the district attorney's office in his search, however, he found himself in a quandry. With twp attractive young women in the .office, how could he make a choice? Operating on the theory that if one pretty girl is good photo "copy," two are better, he came up with this answer to the assignment--Jean Kruckman, left, and Anita Mars, both legal secretaries in the D.A.'s office. Board picks up no support ^^^^ ^^^^^^^^^ consolidation ''�Not-a-single person spoke out in- favor of proposals to consolidate the judicial courts of Mendocino County during a public hearing before the board of supervisors Tuesday afternoon. Not one voice was heard from the audience in support of possible abolition of the positfon of constable from the roster of county goVerrerftent servants-of the people. Instead, a small army of minor court judges and constables converged on chambers to plead eloquently for retention of the "people's- courts" at the local level in an age of increasing loss of local control over government and education through -consolidation, unification or other devices. Judge after judge, as well as spokesmen for the Constables' Association, pointed out that the purported savings from consolidation, unification or whatever form outside control of local agencies or services takes, often do not in fact materialize, as witness, one judge pointed out, the problems of the Ukiah Unified district since unification. They hammered time and again at what they felt would be false economies and warned that the small savings which might be made here or there would be more than offset by perhaps permanent loss of local community control and infringement on individual rights. In the end the supervisors closed the hearing but delayed a vote for two weeks on the motion of Harvey. Sawyers of Wil-lits, seconded by Charlie Barra of Redwood Valley, to continue the justice court and constable positions as they are. 'Supervisor Ernie Banker said he had been leaning somewhat toward consolidation of * justice courts but that the judges present had made some .telling points . in their arguments for retahiing the courts in their present local jurisdictional areas. Chairman Augie Avila felt that perhaps one or two judicial districts might be consolidated at a savings, but in the end all supervisors agreed, on a motion by Supervisor Joe Scaramella, to continue the vote on retention of the courts arid constable status quo for two weeks. There will be no more arguments heard at that time, however, supervisors ruled - only the formal vote taken. Seemingly every judicial district judge in Mendocino; County was on hand for the hearing - with the exception of Judge Hale McCowen Jr., who was busy dispensing justice upstairs. Judge McCowen had sent word that he would be happy to come down for a few moments if the board wished to hear his views, but the board, with the afternoon waning, did not call him. Added to the Opposition of the judges and constables and several citizens present were stacks of letters of protest and petitions containing several hundred names, largely from the Long Valley Judicial district. Judge Robert Rawles of Anderson Judicial District, whose court is in Boonville, led off the testimony by stating that the fueling of citizens in his district was one of "shock and disbelief* that their court system" oould change. He pointed out that in his area along highway 128 there was an increasing demand for local court service, prompted by an influx of Bay area tourists, using adjoining state parks and recreation are- as, and by the recent assignment of a resident CHP officer! Other judges, in an equally calm but penetrative look' at the rapidly changing picture and increased importance of local judicial courts, had their say. Among points made by the judges were that already in some courts,'sjucji.as in Sacramento, a person is given a five-minute hearing on his case, and then the judge rules or moves on to another case. "Such treatment does nothing to increase an individual taxpayer's regard for law enforcement or justice," said one judge. Judge Leland McMasters "soon to retire after -(Continuedon Page 6) - Operation and organization of the Mendocino County department of public works was severely criticized in a Calif or-, nia Taxpayer's Association report to the board of supervisors yesterday. The report, requested by the board last May, charged that the department of public works has not operated as an effective, coordinated organization for some time, nor is there now a highly developed sense of participation, at division head level, in a unified, commonly shared departmental goal. A copy of the 22-page special Cal-Tax task force report, for which the county will pay $500, was given to supervisors late Tuesday, and to key department of public works personnel today. The. special assessment of the PWD, its strengths and shortcomings on the eve of hiring of a new director, possibly by June 24, had been requested by supervisors in late May. The board hopes to interview four final candidates for the job vacated by Bob Newhouse some months ago. The report specifically hit at failure to delegate authority, make use of skills and knowledge of staff - and planning and job confusion. Cooperation In a preface, the report noted that duringMhe crash study of the department's operations, the staff's cooperation was excellent and was obviously motivated by staff loyalty and concern for* the department, its program and the county. Investigators "were impressed with the quality of division-level staff, particularly in terms of their resourcefulness* in accomplishing their duties under what must have been difficult administrative circumstances and in terms of the skills and experience which they bring to their work." "Clearly," the report continues, "the Mendocino County public works department possesses a ^middle-management staff which should greatly assist the new public works director in de- veloping a public works organization that could serve as a model for counties of this size." The Cal-Tax report termed as perhaps its "most im|>ortant conclusion" the finding that the department has not operated as an effective, coordinated organization for some time - the word organization being underlined in the report. "There is, in-fact," the report said, "some confusion as to the roles and responsibilities or* the part j of some middle management." The report noted the lack of an organizational chart - and provided a model one for possible future departmental use in an appendix to the report - but noted that there are in practical operation of the department five main divisions - general services, under an administrative assistant in tho public works department; road, under road superintendent; .surveying, under a senior engineer; buildings and grounds, under a B&G superintendent; and a planning division under a planning assistant. ---_-^- The rei>ort stated that there hardly is a departmental policy matter of any importance which should not have been cleared through one or more of these rlivision heads. In actual practice, however, the report points out, "it would appear that the department head generally 'short circuited' the responsible division head and dealt directly with subordinates." It would appear, the' Cal-Tax summation continues, "that important departmental decisions would be concluded with parties outside the department without consultation with �ny subordinate. Some division heads re-l>orted being "surprised to discover that a matter within their, responsibility had been decided and not reported to them by the department head." The costs of this pattern of operations are mariifold and almost. im|>ossible to estimate' statistically, Cal-Tax continues. These could include substantially increased probability of the department head making an uninformed, unsound judgment because he is not taking advantage of the knowledge of staff with respect to a given situation ..... This failure to give a division head an' opportunity to solve the problems that should come his way through delegation means that staff development also suf- fers because the full capabilities of the staff in service to the department are not realized. Examples A "few other" examples of management defects within the department of public works not-ed by the Cal-Tax survey, include : 1 - Staff meetings, or lack of same, where the Cal-Tax investigators were startled to learn that "staff members could not recall having, attended more than three staff meetings during the tenure of the previous director." While admitting to some cynical regard for the value of staff meetings as often held in modern times, the report felt that properly prepared, and conducted staff meetings do provide the "boss" with vitally important feedback on the current major problems of the organization. 2 - Revision of staff titles -. The report.felt that working at apparent cross purposes with the director's reluctance to delegate responsibilities was a tendency to create new, upgradeed titles for staff without benefit of civil service reviews of either title or job specification. 3 Advance planning of road construction and maintenance The report hit at failure to develop a reasonable long-range road construction - maintenance priority schedule, etc. Top drugs position for Wilson & ---*-- Hitchhiker pulls pistol on cruising Ukiah youths City police arrested a hitchhiker last night after receiving a call from a citizen who informed them that the suspect had pulled a gun on three youths when they stopped and offered him' a ride. Arrested as a result of the incident was Steve W. Amshery, 25,; Coos Bay, Ore. He was charged with reasonable cause,, �felonious; assault with a deadly weapon, carrying a concealed weapon, and carrying a loaded weapon in a public place. Alleged victims of the encounter were Terry Bach, 18; Leonard Winter, 17, and David Meyer, 18, all of Ukiah. A cheek through criminal in- vestigation sources indicated that the suspect may also be wanted as an escaped prisoner from the city jail in Bend, Ore.; but verification is pending on this charge. Officer Larry Maxson arrest-ed.the suspect at the Super Chef. The weapon found on him was a German automatic pistol. . Ambery told police that he was standing on N. State Street near the entrance to the Fairgrounds when one of the.three youths in the car threw a beer bottle at him. Amsbery said be brought out' the gun only to scare them off. Winter told police that Amsbery had called to them as they drove by. Wayne M. Wilson has been named section chief with the division of narcotic addiction and drug abuse for the,National Institute of Mental Health. His responsibility will be for the development of 16 comprehensive community treatment centers located throughout the United States. Wilson holds degrees from j Brigham Young University, the University of Utah, and the University of Nebraska. He has been employed by Mendocino State Hospital since 1956 and served as chief of social service from 1959-65. He was appointed to establish the overall alcoholism program as director in 1965 and' the drug, abuse program in 1966, both of which are the demonstration programs for the California Department of Mental Hygiene. In 1965 he was in Scotland, England and France for the World. Health Organization. He has contributed a dozen professional publications and presented papers at professional conferences throughout the United States. This past week he was consultant to the government of Puerto Rico. Wilson has also been a, consultant to the American Psychiatric Association and the Na? tional Institute of Mental Health lp the areas of alcoholism and drug addiction. He will have his offices at the National Institute of Mental Health in Washington, D.C, Wilson, his wife Kay and their three children - Michael, Scott, and Melissa, will fly to.Bethes-da, Md. Saturday where they will make their home. Canteen for teens under way Plans'are well under way for activation of . an impromptu Teen-age Community Center program at Ukiahi, starting July 1 and running through Aug. 8. The city and the Ukiah Unified school district have contributed more than $700 each toward the cost of the pilot program being supervised by Claudia Bryan, and coordinated by Mort Van-denBerghe under the direction of Recreation Director Dave Strong. But the bare-bones budget for the operation of the Teen-Age Canteen, special events such aS dances, and for the general gym, reoreational and weight-lifting activities cannot be stretched to include the purchase of an air conditioner for use in the high school cafeteria where many q� the dances and other events will be held. Interested parents and other citizens of the Ukiah area may help toward securing an air conditioner by making contributions to Gary Mirata of the Savings Bank, who has consented to act as treasurer for the Teen-Age Center. Some $600 is needed for the air conditioning improvements. Donations to date have been made by the Ukiah Lions Club and the Ukiah Elks Lodge. Those who wish to donate may mail their checks to Ukiah Valley Teen-Age Center in care of Mirata at the Sayings Bank. A teen-age dance from 8 to 11 p.m. on Tuesday, July.l, in the high school cafeteria is being planned to kick off the six-week pilot Ukiah Valley Teen-Age Center program, planned by Miss Bryan, VandenBerghe and Strong with the help of a teenage advisory council. The center .will be open evenings during the July l-Aug.8 period for the use of teen-agers from throughout the greater Ukiah Valley area. County budget up By GLENN ERICKSON County Administrator Al Beltrami Tuesday presented to the board of supervisors, a proposed 1969-70 county government budget which is 14 per cent higher than that expended in the budget year ending June 30-but seven per cent lower than the total budget originally requested by department.heads. Departrhent heads had requested a budget of $14,468,692- 21 per cent or $2,475,008 more than authorized last year. Beltrami, in his annual "budget preview and review" meetings with department heads, managed to pare down there-quests to $13, 679,018, or $789,674 below departmental requests - but still some 14 per cent above expenditures this year. Budget Hearings The' board of supervisors will take its crack at reducing .proposed expenditures still further, starting with budget hearings on July 23, and Chairman Augio. Avila promised to "come with my meat cleaver in hand." Beltrami told the board Tuesday that present indications are that the proposed budget, could be carried out with approximately the same, or slightly higher, general county tax rate as this year. Beltrami attributed much of the increase to the various con- The weather Northwestern California: Cloudy today with chance of showers or thunderstorm mainly, over mountains; fair tonight and Thursday except low overcast along coast; slightly warmer .Thursday; high today and low tonight Ukiah 74-54;-- Temperatures JUNE, 1969 *JUNE, 1968 Date Hl�b Low Data HUB Uow 17 .... 92 54 | 17 .... 99 51 Noon Today 64 Low Today W Rainfall 51.25 Last Year 82.95 Coiirteey Ukr�hL�I*� Department Weather Obverver tinuing pressures and requirements on local governments, including salary adjustments, replacement of needed equipment and buildings, newjy mandated or requested programs, changes in federal legislation or legal interpretations. He told the board that once again the county budget, like all budgets, large or small, public or private, is plagued by the continuing national inflationary trend and cost of service items. Beltrami hedges on his prediction that the increased budget can be supported by the same or slightly higher general county tax. rate ($3.31) to the extent, that he notes'thai still unknown are final figures of carry over, balances, assessment roll figures and finalized revenue figures. Tax Rate A chart shows that the county general tax rate has varied since 1962-63 from $3.30 then to a low of $2.92 in 1966-67, a high of $3.61 in 1967-68 to fts current $3.31, one cent higher than it was seven years ago. Population in the same period has climbed from 50.6 to 53.2 thousand and assessed values from 94.2 to 115.2 millions. Other highlights or the county administrator's budget message include: 1-County outlook - Joblessness was at its lowest April level in Mendocino County since 1964, 6.5 per cent compared to 7.1 per cent a year ago; lumber industry is extremely active and having one of its best financial periods in many, many years. Agriculture is again contemplating a record income year as well. Sales tax reyenue is projected for a county-wide increase. Tourism has shown substantial and continuing increase, especially as Mendocino County is. able to provide greater attractions and greater Chamber of Commerce activity in this area. On the other hand, the welfare budget is increased. Winter storms have .caused: a .substantial increase in this year's road budget due to many repairs needed. The county continues to fail to develop and sustain a firm year-around industrial base, though a new firberboard plant is contemplated in Fort Bragg^ and restdration of airline service to Ukiah holds hope for attracting possible industry to the area. 1 B�\yond t'ontrol Legislation beyond county control has" had a substantial impact upon the proposed budget- legislative or court rulings such as the Supreme Court, decision April 21 which could mean the end of most welfare residency requirements; the Lanterman-Petris-Short Bill dealing with mental health" programs now to be integrated totally between county and state facilities; laws relating to agricultural preserves and property tax relief will have an impact on assessment rolls and tax bases in 1969-70, etc. 2-Beltrami includes suggestions that the supervisors give serious consideration toward establishment of a separate planning department, at $57,087; establishment of an assessment appeals board at $13,400; reconsideration of a previously proposed but rejected public guardian program at'$3,392; consideration of a proposed city-county "jaininnex agreement at $11,000; and outlines employe benefits budget items totalling $389,470 and establishment of a county hospital enterprise fund to pinpoint accounting in the hospital's direct services. 3-Areas of particular concern and review by the board in-I elude: a 32 per cent increase in welfare administrative costs, and a 41 per cent over-all increase in mental health costs as local costs are tied to the state | program ; review and analysis of j the county library operation; a 17 per cent increase in welfare categorical aid, need for law enforcement added personnel; new administrative positions and a review of recreational and other policies. County wants out on Library The county wants out of the present Ukiah-Mendocino Library agreement in six months,- but is holding the door open for further review of the joint libra* ry facility. Supervisors made this clear after some discussion late Tuesday after hearing library committee representatives suggest that the board indicate Its intention to withdraw from the present agreement within s j x months. > Thus the Ukiah city council can begin discussing its own future course on library �construction, tonight if it. wishes at its regular meeting, with the knowledge, that the county is not interested in prolonging the present agreement 'beyond a reasonable joint review and readjustment period. Supervisor Ernie Banker, who held that just because the anticipated s federal grant did not come tfirough for library con--(Continued on page 3)- Wood defeats Farr Win clinches Assembly for GOP By DENNIS J. OPATRNY SALINAS, Calif. (UPI) -Republican Robert G. Wood rolled to an easy victory Tuesday in a crucial special election that gave the GOP a 41-39 absolute majority and solid political control in the Assembly. Wood, 53, handily defeated Democrat Fred S. Farr in an election making the third consecutive GOP triumph this year and sixth straight special legislative victor^ since 1365. The final unofficial tally showed Wood ran up 26,274 votes or 56 per cent to 19,651 vot^s or about 43 per cent for Farr, a former state senator who failed in a political comeback attempt. Wood, an apricot grower from Greenfield in his first partisan race, told newsmen at his victory'celebration that he intends- to' vote his own mind in the Assembly. "I don't intend; to be a rubber stamp Republican," said. Wood, who described himself as a moderate. Farr, 58, who was defeated in a 1966 Senate re-election bid after his district had been reapportioned, resigned his $28,O0O-a-year job as" coordinator of the Federal Highway Beautification Program to run for the seat. The Assembly vacancy was created when Alan. Pattee, r. Salinas, was killed''uT an automobile accident last April. He had held the seat since 1954. Wood ran* strongly in traditionally Republican areas of the district composed entirely of Monterey County. His popularity as a i county supervisor apparently helped lift him to victory. Farr had counted on GOP cross-over ballots which failed to materialize although 67 per cent of- eligible voters turned out. * . But Democrats, who hold a 51 per cent to 44 per cent Voter registration edge, apparently -4v were unable to turn out their voters in the numbers that GOP precinct workers did. > Three rrtinor candidates who ("appeared on the ballot ran poorly, totalling only 1 per cent of the vote. Republican Mitchell Bedford collected 359 votes, Republican Bertram Rudolph 130 and American Independent Party candidate Alton Ogborn, 188. ' Wood said he was surprised by his wide margin of victory in a race that further' underscored Republican, voting trends in California. i 1 "I didn't think , we woifld come anything close to this,*'. he said, referring to his -(Continuedon Page 6)-* * The _ Country &W< Swmwh^H ;

MEDIA: Pay-TV industry divided on Web strategy
Pay-TV industry divided on Web strategy
LOS ANGELES — Want to watch an episode of TNT's "The Closer" online?
You have to fill out a form on TNT's website, proving you have a cable or satellite television subscription. And your cable or satellite provider also needs to have a deal with TNT to carry its content online.
But if you want to check out A&E's new drama "Longmire," just visit the cable channel's website and your mouse gets you in. No forms or proof of a pay-TV subscription are necessary.
The differing approaches by Time Warner's TNT and A&E, which is majority owned by Walt Disney Co. and Hearst Corp., illustrate a divide in the media industry over how best to put content on the Web while also keeping customers hooked to their TVs.
In 2009, cable giant Comcast Corp. and Time Warner Inc. — parent of TNT, TBS, HBO and other popular channels — unveiled TV Everywhere, an initiative that was to be a blueprint for the pay-TV industry to develop a platform to let subscribers watch content on their computers, phones or tablets. The proposition was simple enough: Take all that is good about television — lots of channels at the click of a button — and transfer it online.
The hope was that by offering subscribers more content online, people would be less likely to cut the cord to their cable or satellite TV service in favor of so-called over the top services such as Netflix, Hulu and Roku. TV Everywhere was also meant to discourage programmers from giving away their shows for free online.
But in the three years since it was conceived, TV Everywhere has struggled to gain traction.
"It's simply a mess," BTIG media analyst Rich Greenfield said. "A complete and utter failure."
Andy Heller, vice chairman and TV Everywhere point person for Time Warner's Turner Broadcasting, believes "the real stumbling block has been deals." Some programmers and distributors, Heller said, are using TV Everywhere contract talks as an excuse to try to "change terms and conditions" of other contracts.
Another problem is that neither the programmers nor the pay-TV providers can decide who should be the gatekeeper for content online. Some consumers have to register at multiple networks to watch content, while others can do one-stop shopping through their distributor.
"We're trying to figure out, can you have a single access point?" said Mike Hopkins, president of distribution for Fox Networks. "It's technically complicated but not impossible."
The consumer experience "has to improve," said Denise Denson, executive vice president of content distribution for Viacom. "It is going to have to be more seamless and almost invisible to the consumer."
Until recently, Viacom put a lot of its shows online without requiring proof of a cable subscription. It temporarily suspended the practice last week when DirecTV cited it as one reason it had not signed a new deal to carry the cable programmer's channels.
For these reasons many programmers don't yet see a need to embrace TV Everywhere.
"There is no reason for us to be pushed or rushed into putting something out there subpar," said Rebecca Glashow, senior vice president of digital distribution for Discovery Communications Inc., the parent company of cable channels Discovery, TLC and Oprah Winfrey's OWN.
Distributors also have differing attitudes toward TV Everywhere. Comcast has signed deals with several programmers and its Xfinity service is a gateway to online programming. But Time Warner Cable, which is a separate company from Time Warner Inc., has hardly any deals with programmers and does not promote TV Everywhere to its customers.
"There is not a consistency of experiences by distributors," acknowledged Matt Strauss, Comcast's senior vice president of digital and emerging platforms.

Cloud Nine Villa - The Finest Villa In The Disney Area
We know that there are many villas to choose from in the Disney area and we wanted to make sure that ours was head and shoulders above the rest - the finest villa in the Disney area. Therefore, the house is extremely luxurious and very highly specified throughout.
No expense has been spared in decorating the house to 5* standards. The house is truly a home away from home, having everything a group of any size would possibly need for a vacation in the sun.
The custom made sofas and plenty of cushions in the Family area are ideal for relaxing. Combined with a state-of-the-art entertainment system this area will be the focus of everyone's vacation.
A custom made kitchen has been fitted to the house. Featuring tall shaker style cabinets and Corian counter tops, no expense has being spared to make the kitchen everything expected from a high class luxury villa.
The games room is equipped with a pool table / air hockey table and also contains all of the outdoor games equipment including bicycles, golf clubs and tennis set for use on the communal courts.
The lounge is a retreat from the rest of the house. It is furnished with luxurious sofas and matching coffee tables, this area is perfect for evening drinks or peaceful conversations.
Ideal for formal dining occasions or for meals with the entire family, the dining room has large a dining table with matching chairs. A 5 light chandelier is featured to finish off the elegant feel to this lavishly appointed dining area.
As is be expected of a home of this quality, the Master Bedroom is furnished to the highest standard with a sumptuous wood and iron four poster king size bed. There is a large TV with full cable access.
There are four further bedrooms, a queen with ensuite, a king and two twins. All bedrooms are furnished to 5 star standards and all have a TV with full cable access.
The pool at Cloud Nine Villa is undoubtedly one of the best you will find in a vacation home. The large freeform design is complemented by a rock boundary with planter which in addition to providing privacy, is beautifully lit at night. A grotto waterfall with seating behind, a large elevated spa with waterfall and a shallow beach area with bubbler provide enormous amounts of entertainment.
The latest in heating and filtering technology has also been installed with the heat coming from the bottom of the pool to provide a consistent and pleasant temperature throughout and a saltwater cleaning system providing clean water with no chemicals that need washing off after you have been in the pool!
The deck has been extended and extra sun loungers and chairs provided for your comfort. An awning has also been installed to provide shade when required across the entire width of the house. The pool at Cloud Nine Villa is an absolute delight to behold and is certain to provide an huge amount of pleasure and entertainment for every guest, young or old!
We know that most people visit the Orlando area with the theme parks in mind, however, we wanted Cloud Nine Villa to be a haven to return to after a busy day, a holiday destination in itself.TripAdvisor property ID 2072328 ...Read more

Very good
A FlipKey verified reviewer
"Fabulous. Just as advertised."
The pool was amazing, having in stayed in various villas at Highlands over the years, this was the winner. So clean, no nasty chemicals and just beautiful. Villa was very clean and spacious and had everything we needed. perfect location overlooking the Golf Course, lots of sun all day almost and great to be at the top of a cul de sac with no passing traffic. Not overlooked at all and very private. Great location for the Orlando parks and not too far from Bush Gardens our favourite park ever over the years. Have no doubts! Book this villa.Great contact from Owners when we asked any questions.

"They thougth of everything!"
We had a wonderful time on our family vacation to the cloud nine villa, we visited with 3 children under 3 and every little thing we could have possibly needed was there for our use. My sister and I said, "only a mother would know this stuff!" every time we were in need of a baby item and easily found it, so Elisabeth, we kindly gave you the credit, when we located childrens spoons, pack and play, baby gate, and even kids Dvd's
I have never seen such a beautiful pool area, I think the kids and the husbands enjoyed the pool more than Disney! It sure was more relaxing than carting 3 toddlers around Magic Kingdom!
It was especially nice for us adults to put the kids down for the night and creep down to the pool for an evening swim, we realize we would never have been able to do this had we stayed at a hotel or resort. I would stay here again in a heartbeat.

"Wonderful experience!!"
We had a wonderful time on our vacation. The villa had everything you could want and then some. It is close enough to the area attractions, yet far enough as not to feel like you're trapped in a major tourist spot. The management team was top notch. After spending the day at the parks, always looked forward to coming home to the extravagant pool. Thanks for sharing your home with us.

"Holiday of a lifetime"
The whole family, all nine of us, had a holiday of a lifetime at Cloud Nine Villa.
The villa was every bit as good, if not better, than the pictures show. There is everything included to make you feel that you are living in a 5 star hotel.
The only down side to this villa is it will spoil you for every going anywhere else.

"ourb stay at Cloud Nine - August 2011"
We've had a good service before we got into Cloude Nine, it was very easy with the guidance we had on the phone.
Cloud Nice was even more beautiful then the pictures did assume.
The location and amentities were close and central.
We liked the pool the best and if you could speak of the least (we can't) than we'll say that a porch would be very welcome so you still can sit outside unless it is raining.

"Just What We Needed; A Piece of Paradise"
We fully appreciated the quiet neighborhood and the privacy of the villa pool with the pine trees and golf greens ensconced by the Floridian sunsets.
The pool and area views are unsurpassed. I particularly liked the
comfortable ambience and furnishings of the home nestled in Highlands Reserve. I was quite torn between admiring the size of the master en suite tub or the pool! Our daughter further enjoyed the play station amenities and learning how to play billiards, or sinking some "battleships". I loved that this vacation villa was so well equipped with towels and all the trappings of home. The management company is very professional & attentive; pleasant to work with as is in keeping with the owners. With a catalogue of fond memories to come home with and such wonderful lodging, a reprise is in the future...

1991 Toyota Pickup (7 Reviews)
I have a rav4 2001 model, Got tapping noise as if its a loose tappet don't know about these is it true the oil pick up on these block easily,ran engine cleaner through it twice and did make little difference. Is it true that they don't have the usual set up and you cant just tighten the tappets by taking off the tappet cover or what ever top cover on motor joined to head is called on these things. Any advice would be much appreciated,ASAP Please
bought this truck in october and have read the reviews on this vehicle and i must say i am an absolute fan of this truck based on my personal expirience with this truck i feel i have bought the perfect truck!! wish they still made em this gd
Bought a new radiator that stated it fits 1991 p/u after recieving it, it is a 2.4 and i have a 3.0 holes match up housing is a little smaller on the new one
I have a 1991 toyota pickup and just bought a raidator that says it fits 1991 pickups. After looking it is a 2.4. and I have a 3.0. holes match but radiator is slightly smaller Robert
Most of the underside still original parts, most parts are pretty cheap and easy to replace. 22re engine that runs like new, transmission took a crap right around 208,000 miles due to pin falling out of 4th gear. Quick fix of 2 grand, runs like a champ again with 211,295 miles. A/C non existent anymore, but could scramble an egg on the dash during a blizzard. learned that if one of the four, battery, alternator, electrical, and starter, decides to quit...the others will soon follow. very durable and reliable, takes me to Nogales and back (140 miles) every Saturday for the past 9 months without fail. All in all, best investment I could have made for first truck.
bullet proof best buy i ever made
This is the only vehicle I ever bought new, and for 18 years now I have never once regretted my ownership. They'll probably have to burry me in it! As for the quality and reliability - it rocks! With 180K miles on it, I have never had to do any major service or parts replacement. With just regular oil changes, the 4-cylinder (22RE) is rock-solid, burns no oil, puts out like-new power and gets the same 27 to 34 MPG as ever. The only major parts I've had to replace are brake pads & shoes, shocks, starter solenoid contacts, and battery. The original Panasonic battery lasted nearly 12 years! Yes, there is good reason why Toyota has eclipsed GM as the world's top auto manufacturer! I'm a real buy-American kind of guy, so I'm really glad most Toyotas sold in America are now made in America these days! See ya on the hiways and biways...

A Climate of Repression: Living under Communism, Vaclav Klaus, the President of the Czech Republic, Saw How Repressive Political Mechanisms Can Stifle Opposition and Control Society. He Sees the Same Pattern Being Repeated in Today's Global-Warming Debate
Jasper, William F., The New American
On March 2-4, more than 100 scientists, many of considerable renown, attended a conference in New York, sponsored by the Heartland Institute, called the 2008 International Conference on Climate Change. Also in attendance were over 300 other delegates, including Vaclav Klaus, president of the Czech Republic.
Though he is not a climatologist or physicist, he was a featured speaker at the event for two reasons. First, he recognizes in the mannerisms and proposed public-policy recommendations of those trying to reduce global greenhouse-gas emissions the same noble-sounding goals and the same repressive political mechanisms as of the communists who so recently ruled his country with an iron fist. Second, he is a notable economist, formerly holding a position, in the Czechoslovak Academy of Sciences, and he can speak with authority about how the global-warming alarmists are misusing data to justify their claims.
THE NEW AMERICAN interviewed President Klaus at the climate conference.
THE NEW AMERICAN: Why did you come to the International Conference on Climate Change here in New York City?
Vaclav Klaus: Well, I feel very strongly about it, not about global warming but for the discussion in principle. It's not a discussion about the climate; it's a discussion about human society; it's a discussion about freedoms; it's a discussion about human prosperity, especially in developing countries. That's the issue which has been a topic for my whole life. Global warming is just an instrument for influencing the future behavior of mankind. In this respect I am involved in the discussion.
TNA: You come from the Czech Republic; you are familiar with what it is like to have freedom totally suppressed. How does freedom relate to this issue?
Klaus: I am sensitive, maybe overly sensitive in this respect, but I listen to speeches of some global-warming alarmists--environmentalists in general. I hear sentences, ideas, which sound to me very familiar from the communist era.
Again there is someone who wants to orchestrate our life, again someone who knows better than the rest of us what is good for me, for us, and who tries .to regulate, control, mastermind human society and in this respect there is a structural similarity with my experiences from the past.
TNA: Are you also familiar With the way that statist systems will claim a scientific basis to justify their policies?
Klaus: They are misusing science. Again, I say with the communists it was also science which was also misused as an instrument for influencing us. There was scientific Marxism at the time and now we have scientific environmentalism--it was the same.
TNA: Very similar parallels ...
Klaus: Yes, somewhat. I think that many people are misled by the argument that the debate about climate change is a scientific' debate in the field of climatology. I don't think that is the case. What we are talking about is influencing human society, and in this respect if is much more about social sciences, my own field of economics, and not that much about the details of physics and other scientific disciplines.
TNA: In that regard, one of the things that's been quite prevalent in this case is closing off scientific debate.
Klaus: To close the scientific debate is again, a weapon against those who disagree. I know that there is no scientific consensus. There can never be scientific consensus in this respect. The closing of the scientific discussion is really a very dangerous way of looking at things and can have very unpleasant consequences for human society.
TNA: Tell us about your concern on that level, the economic and social consequences of the policies which are being advocated.
Klaus: As an economist--by the way, I have to stress that I wrote a book about it, Blue Planet in Green Shackles: What Is Endangered, Climate or Freedom? …

National Press on Chicago Rally to Tax Wall St.
A coalition of nurses' unions is calling for a "Robin Hood" tax on Wall Street, which they say could generate up to $350 billion a year, in the first major protest ahead of this weekend's NATO summit in Chicago. Their pitch: impose a tax of 50 cents on every $100 of trades of stocks, bonds, dividends and other financial transactions, which are not currently taxed. The U.S. would join more than a dozen other nations that already have a financial transaction tax. —Various News Sources, 05/19/12 More »
