About the Property
4 Bedrooms, 3 Bathrooms, Sleeps 8-9
This beautifully restored private villa and its grounds are reserved entirely for you and your traveling companions. Built in the early 1920s, its 2,400 square feet of living space have been completely modernized without sacrificing their original detail.
You'll enjoy the best of both worlds. The old-world style and elegance of carefully selected antiques blend with the comfort of plush, imported mattresses, fine towels and linens, cotton blankets, goose-down duvets and loads of pillows. Relax in the living room and escape with Italian and English (satellite) TV, or congregate in the dining room around the grand table and fireplace. You'll find yourself at home anywhere in the villa.
The villa comfortably sleeps up to eight people in four equal-size bedrooms, one on the ground floor and three upstairs. There are three full bathrooms, one downstairs and two up. Common areas include a cozy living room with satellite television, a large dining room with fireplace, and a fully-equipped kitchen. Italian antiques and oriental carpets sprinkled throughout add an extra elegant touch.
The gardens
The villa's half acre of landscaped gardens are bordered on one side by the village, one side by the Monte Rufeno Nature Reserve, and on two sides by green pasture. A 400 year-old chestnut tree with seven trunks serves as the focal point for the garden and provides welcome summer shade for two rope hammocks that rest beneath it. Depending on the season, the gardens provide chestnuts, wild cherries, golden plums, white and red grapes, hazelnuts, pine nuts and peaches for the table. In the summer months, the small 'orto' yields home-grown tomatoes, peppers, lettuce, eggplant, zucchini, celery, onions and garlic, while 'the girls' keep guests supplied in fresh eggs. Lavender, oregano, basil, salvia, rosemary, mentuccia, and various mints and thymes are distributed liberally near the kitchen door. Wisteria and hydrangea add colorful highlights to the pergola and gazebo, while potted geraniums and coleus decorate the villa's front wall and courtyard.
The village
Situated on a ridge at 2,000 feet elevation, the medieval village of Torre Alfina offers crisp, fresh air and wonderful views over the Latium, Umbrian and Tuscan countrysides. The village guards the entrance to Italy's Monte Rufeno Nature Reserve – 7,500 acres of protected public wilderness with forested hills, pristine forest, trout streams, and unique fauna and flora. Several of the park's bicycle and hiking trails start from the village.
When you're ready to book, here are some tips to keep in mind.

Torre Alfina is a medieval agricultural village whose origin dates to the 1200s. The village grew up around a fortified castle on a bluff overlooking the 'Alta Tuscia,' or the Etruscan highlands. Today it sits on the edge of the large Monte Rufeno Nature Reserve, overlooking Orvieto and the central valley to the east, and the mountains of southern Tuscany to the west. Torre Alfina sits in the 'lantern' of the region of Lazio (Latium), 10 miles from the border of Tuscany and four miles form the border of Umbria. This makes it the perfect location for visiting the most popular tourist destinations of all three regions, including Rome, Florence, Assisi, Todi, Perugia, Orvieto, Montalcino, Montepulciano, Siena, Civita di Bagnoreggio, Bagni San Filippo, Bolsena, San Casciano dei Bagni, Sorano, Sovano and Pitigliano.

Oil on canvas board. Signed on the front and additionally signed, titled and dated on the back to not detract from the image.In 2015 we re-located to the beautiful Zala county in Hungary to start living a healthier self-sufficient new life. We found the perfect house and plot with incredible views all around and named it Serenity Hill. The landscapes in this county and other counties that surround the unique milky-blue Lake Balaton carve incredible mountainous silhouettes and contours. This aspect really connected with me visually and it soon became a natural impulse to paint these lands. Continuing my artistic journey into oil painting, I found that applying morphing and blending sections into more representational sections really complimented the hill and mountain structures. Movement and dynamacy gives life and a certain dream-like effect that I wanted to relay to the viewer from what I have been privileged to witness.The series of paintings so far are sized at 30 x 40 cm (unframed) which is a good general size for many people to hang up a nice landscape around the home, plus it allows me to offer a very accessible pricing.

Journal Continues Criticism of Vioxx StudyFeb 22, 2006 | AP
The editors of the New England Journal of Medicine published additional criticism of a Vioxx study on Wednesday, even as it allowed the authors of the article to defend themselves against the critique it delivered two months ago.
In the latest salvo, the editors said that if the authors had disclosed all heart-related side effects patients suffered by taking Vioxx in the study originally published in 2000, it would have shown that any complicated gastrointestinal event the drug prevented was offset by a serious heart problem.
Vioxx was developed to be gentler on the stomach than other pain relievers, which accounted for much of its consumer appeal. Merck & Co. removed it from the market in September 2004 after a study showed it doubled the risk of heart attacks and strokes after 18 months of use.
In a statement, Merck said that it stood firmly behind the analysis and data in the Vigor publication.
The latest criticism expands on an "Expression of Concern" the Journal published two months ago. That letter said that at least two authors knew about three additional heart attacks suffered by patients taking Vioxx 4 1/2 months before the study results were published.
It said the failure to disclose information made the article's calculations and conclusions incorrect. Furthermore, the Journal said the some of the data were deleted from the manuscript two days before it was submitted in May 2000.
Two letters to the editor were submitted to the Journal to address the criticisms: One by Merck-employed scientists and the other by the 11 non-Merck authors.
Both letters said the handling of the data was appropriate and that it would have been a breach of scientific protocol to report the heart attacks because they occurred after a specified cutoff data. They also both said the additional heart attacks didn't materially affect the outcome of the study.
Without the additional heart attacks, the study found that patients taking Vioxx had four times the rate of heart attacks of those taking a comparative drug, naproxen. If the three heart attacks are added, the rate rises to five times the rate of heart attacks.
Phil Beck, a Merck attorney who won a federal Vioxx case last week, questioned why the Journal chose to highlight information in Wednesday's editorial that had not been included in the original statement.
"I don't know why this was not significant the first time but all of a sudden is significant," Beck said.
Beck said the data the Journal presented has been known to the FDA for years and was included on the drug's label. He added that the authors were not given an opportunity to respond to the latest charges just as they hadn't been in the first criticism.
In a statement, the Journal said it asked the authors to address issues that transcended the original expression of concern. The Journal said its questions weren't fully answered so it opted to publish additional data and details about cardiovascular events that it believed should have been included in the original article.
Dr. Claire Bombardier, lead author of the Vigor study, said the Journal didn't ask about issues beyond matters touched on in the December letter.
"This process differs from normal scientific exchange and it is regrettable," Bombardier said.
The focus of the latest editorial goes beyond looking at how the heart attacks affected the study's outcome. It says that at least two authors of the study "were aware of a critical data on an array of adverse cardiovascular events" more than four months before the article was published.
The Journal published tables that include additional types of heart-related problems such as hemorrhagic strokes and peripheral venous thrombosis which it said it didn't have in 2000. All the data were reported to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, and published on Merck's Web site three months after the article was published, the editorial said.
But the Journal said that "because these data were not included in the published article, conclusions regarding the safety of rofecoxib (Vioxx) were misleading."
Merck faces over 9,000 Vioxx-related suits. It has won two trials and lost another. A fourth is ongoing in Texas and a fifth is slated to start in New Jersey next week.

English is a West Germanic language that was first spoken in early medieval England and is now a global lingua franca. It is spoken as a first language by the majority populations of several sovereign states, including the United Kingdom, the United States, Canada, Australia, Ireland, New Zealand and a number of Caribbean nations; and it is an official language of almost 60 sovereign states. It is the third-most-common native language in the world, after Mandarin Chinese and Spanish. It is widely learned as a second language and is an official language of the European Union, many Commonwealth countries and the United Nations, as well as in many world organisations. English arose in the Anglo-Saxon kingdoms of England and what is now southeast Scotland. Following the extensive influence of England, Great Britain, and the United Kingdom from the 17th to mid-20th centuries through the British Empire, it has been widely propagated around the world. Through the spread of American-dominated media and technology, English has become the leading language of international discourse and the lingua franca in many regions.

Appleton Post-Crescent (Newspaper) - November 2, 1959, Appleton, Wisconsin m APPLETON POST-CRESCENT Monday, November The State Building Lag Joe E. Nusbaum. commissioner of ad- ministration for the Wisconsin state govern- ment, has asked the legislative finance com- mittee for help in eliminating the lag in state institutional construction. Nusbaum charges there often are time lags of from five to seven years between the authorization of state institution build- ings, and their actual construction. He has asked for legislative approval to hire eight additional staff members of the State Bureau of Engineering hi the hope of speeding up the program. As examples of what is going on he mentioned proval for the construction of a new medium security state prison had been made more than seven years ago but that plans never have been drawn. Further, he pointed out the legislature provided money for the construction of a new state school for delinquent boys four years ago. The plans never have been drafted. Nusbaum says such delays are unpar- donable and we think most people will agree that is about as mild a term as could be used to describe it. Some of these build- ings will be well on the way to obsolescence before they are put into use. Both the medium security prison and the boys school are urgently needed. It may be re- called that more than a year before the authorization of the boys school construc- tion it had been proposed to build cottages near the Green Bay reformatory to take care of the overcrowding at Waukesha. This was to be in the nature of an emer- gency program but when the plans were changed and the- construction of a new school authorized it appears that the feel- ing of emergency did not. carry over into the State Bureau of Engineering. The con- struction was authorized under Gov. Kohler but appears to have been quietly put aside during the administration of Gov. Thomson and now has earned at least men- tion under the Nelson administration. Un- less the legislature takes some drastic ac- tion it is possible that a boy who probably was unborn when the boys school emer- gency was noted during the Kohler admin- istration will be governor of the state when the new boys school is put into operation. Tennessee's Climate Political leaders of both parties in Wis- consin are pretty well agreed that the state government should do everything it can to attract more industry to Wisconsin. As everyone knows, the state with industry is the state with surplus wealth and conse- quently the state with the better things of life. However, there is no agreement among political leaders as to how the climate should be adjusted. It is.quite certain that changes in tax laws which now are being discussed and will be discussed more in- tensely at the upcoming session of the leg- islature will play an important part in any program adopted. For those uncertain as to what goes to make up a favorable industrial climate we suggest some of the advertising that is be- ing circulated by the state of Tennessee. Tennessee says that its drive for new in- dustry was solidly indorsed by its last leg- islature in a bill that cut the use tax on machinery from the previous 3 per cent to 1 per cent. Further, the ad points out that Tennessee communities now are authorized by the legislature to issue full faith and credit bonds to finance buildings for lease to industries. The ad claims that Tennessee has gained 757 new industrial plants and has recorded plant expansions dur- ing the past six years. It says that the gov- ernmental climate is highly lavorable to industry with a balanced state budget and no personal income tax. The Tennessee program would certain- ly be a difficult one for Wisconsin to adopt. But it certainly points in the direction the state should 'want to go and that is some- thing for the legislators and the state ad- ministrative officers to bear in mind. Young Woman in a Hurry Velma West, an attractive blonde new- lywed, was 21 years old in, 1927 when she engaged in an argument with her wealthy husband over the .use of the family car. She felt she couldn't stand the small town life at Perry in Lake county, Ohio. She wanted the car to visit friends in Cleveland but when her 200-pound hus- band objected she beat him to death with a hammer and drove off to'attend a bridge party. She was sentenced to prison but she couldn't stand that life either so she es- caped but was recaptured after 40 days of freedom. Now, more than 30 years after she was sentenced, the parole board has considered her case but she no longer is in a hurry. She told members she had no 1 place to go and wox. just as soon remain in prison: Her description of herself at the time of the trial was that "she was a 12 o'clock girl iii a 9 o'clock town." Thus she expressed her resentment of being cooped up in a small town. During her later years in prison her weight had been reduced from 100 pounds to 86 by illness and a heart con- dition. She spent her spare time playing the piano for other prisoners and singing songs which she composed with "such senti- ments as "Won't you spare one little prayer for a sinner like It is strange how time changes one's outlook. One must wonder how Velma West at 53, with no desire to go any place, could really understand how as an im- petuous woman of 21 she had killed her husband and earned 31 years of confine- ment merely because she wanted to go places. 7fie Builds a Chapel' Basil the talented actor who usually is cast in evil parts, has been play- ing God instead. For the last few months he has taken the role of Mr.' Zuss in the Archibald MacLeish play "J. B." which brings the Book of Job up to date. But now Mr. Rathbone is switching to the role of Mr. Nickles, the devil in-the play and the part he wanted in the first; place. "Nickles is the character who moti- vates the says Mr. Rathbone and, even more alarming, "a little Nickles has been creeping into my Zuss lately." There are a lot of elements of human drama in this by-play. It's much more-fun the devil and avoid that narrow, rocky path. The evil elements do tend to motivate many actions of mankind even in defense. And, whenever anyone does try to play God; except upon the stage, a lot of the devil gets into the act. Mr. Rathbone has turned about upon Shakespeare's King Richard 111 who seemed "a saint when most I play the devil." Or is it just that it is sometimes difficult to tell good from evil? What Others are Saying Search for Inexpensive Schooling With Quality, Quantity Important From The Dally News The great debate about American education is now two years old, if we mark its beginning as the time of the Sputnik crisis of 1957. The in- tensity of interest generated by the Russian achievement had moderated somewhat, but fortunately there is no sign that it will soon be suc- ceeded by apathy. II is probably safe to say that public education has been ungraded somewhat because of this period of searching exami nation, though even this conclusion may be tempered "by one's definition of progress in an inexact science. About the only indisputa- ble fact is that the costs of education are climbing at an alarming rate. This would continue to be the case even if the quality of education remained static, simply be-. cause more people are re- ceiving more education than' ever before. This year, a record 46.5 million students are enrolled in schools, public and pri- vate, from kindergar ten through university one- out of every four persons in the United States. Total ex- penditures associated with this enrollment are esti; mated at more than bil- lion. Seventy-five per cent of the money comes from pub- lic sources local state and federal which means that education ranks second only to defense as a public ex- pense. The high birth rate of re- cent years is a well-known phenomenon, as is the mush- room growth of elementary schools. Yet elemcn t a r y school enrollment has in- creased only 60 per cent since 1920. while total school and college enrollment has doubled. More students are going to school longer. High school attendance has jumped from 10 to 20 per cent of total school enroll- ment since 1920. College en- rolment has soared in the same -time from 0..6 million -to.3.8 milion. And the major effects of the post-World war II baby boom are still to come in the secondary schools and colleges. But while the total enroll-' ment at all levels was dou- bling, the costs of education increased tenfold. It is worth noting that in the same 40- year period the over-all cost of living, as measured by the government11 consumer price index, jumped less than 50 per cent. With both numbers of pu- pils and costs per pupil on the rise, it is evident that the quantity factor alone will continue to push educational expenditures ever higher. There remains the added, factor of quality to meet the requirements of an increas- ingly complex society. There can be no doubt that the American people want quality education for their children and for the most part they are willing to pay for it. The question is wheth- er the present cost trends will not at some point out- strip the nation's ability to pay. Superimposing extra costs In the name of quality on a system so burdened with quantity could prove to be merely a short cut to bank- ruptcy. Somehow'.'' a way must be found to" provide both quantity and quality, yet at'the same time level off the sharp-upswing in the cost curves.. Numerous. agencies, both public and private, are hard at work on this problem.' For the sake of the national solvency, .we should all hope fervently that they achieve a breakthrough in time. Under thai Capitol Dome 'Emergency' Taxes Are So Permanent I. Nw HMU he Well, What Did She Expect to See? People's Forum Charges Reorganization Bill Sets Up Government by Decree Editor, Post-Crescent: The governor signed the reorganization Bill 623S. And now the wrecking crews are out smashing up the stat- utes. Wisconsin still has a constitution. But by statute and Bill 623S administration of government by and for the people through laws created by the legislature has been destroyed. We are now to have administration of gov- ernment by decree. In petitions to the legisla- ture and to Gov. Nelson, I challenged that Bill 623S was one of the most ruthless, dangerous, an'd destructive bills ever to come before a Wisconsin legislature, that it was flagrantly and violently unconstitutional, and violat- ed fundamental basic princi- ples of sound government. It violates constitutional man- dates that laws shall be re- pealed and laws shall be cre- ated by the legislature. The bill abolished five vital departments: Budget and ac- counts, bureaus of pur- chases, engineering, person- nel, and research and dumps them into one department headed by the commissioner who is given power to de- termine the number of or- ganizational units and to al- locate and reallocate func- tions and duties. The depart- ments are abolished and then they are transferred! The new emergency board is given power to transfer ap- propriations from one de- partment to another and to eliminate functions. Admin- istration of government by and for the people of Wis- consin under laws by the legislature is destroy- ed, and we are to have ad- ministration of government by complete autocracy. We are to have government by bossism under the type of rule of the boss of a family- owned company. We are to have laws created by de- cree. That is what Bill 623S provides. It is unconstitu- tional and revolution! It goes back before the Magna Charta. I believe it is the worst collection of scrambled cha- os and confusion and con- glomerated hodgepodge ever put into a Wisconsin legisla- tive bill! Statutes created by the legislature providing duties and functions of these five departments "a b o 1- ished and transferred" still provide that specific duties assigned by the legislture to these departments are the statutory mandates out- lining the duties of the five department directors. Then by decree of the commis- sioner out of the governor's office, statutes are smashed and repealed and new law created by decree providing that thisT that and the other things shall be the duties of the departments. And new departments are created by decree of the commissioner out of the governor's office. e Gov.. Nelson has the larg- est and most expensive staff of any governor in the his- tory ..of the state and one which could well have work- ed to gather and provide him with information garding needs of state de- partments instead of work- ing to create revolution, de- fiance of constitutional man- dates, and statutory man- dates. The Governor has put the people of Wisconsin to great expense by dupli- cating in his executive office many of the services the leg- islature provided by statute shall be done by the direc- tor of budget and accounts. One of the greatest dan- budget data and appropria- tions. Bill 623S containea great danger for civil service em- ployes in provisions on page 25, lines 12-16 which "bases the treatment of its em- ployes upon the relative value of each employes' services and his demon- strated competence and fit- ness." That reads very, pret- ty. It provides roots for abolishing salary schedules based on the job created by work and job specifications and appointment secured after examination. Mr. Joe Nusbaum and his appointees and the civil service board shall determine the relative value of each employes' services. In this way politi- cal control shall be exercis- ed over salary of every civil service employe.' Bill 623S was slammed through the legislature with grossest misrepresentations. It was heralded as dealing with a few little housekeep- ing functions and well greased advertising sales methods used to misrepre- sent it. Two senators who voted to introduce it so as to help give it a bipartisan flav- BY JOHN WYNGAARD The risk of the revenue meas- ures which the governor proposes.. to su b m i t to the legisla- ture is that they won't be the tern-' poraVy ex- pedients the 1 a b e'l' im- plies. Aside fi-om the idea of In- Wynjaard come tax withholding legis- lation, which is almost sure to be knocked down again by the Republican the governor must rely, he says, upon the individual in- come tax to get the 000 in new money he needs to finance what he chooses to call a "tight" budget. Parent helically, the anonymous taxpayer out in the state may wonder some day about the legitimacy of the adjectives in the gov- ernor's vocabulary. Existing tax revenues are bringing in more money than ever be- 'fore, but under a so-called v "tight" budget expenditures are outrunning the record income by more than 10 per cent. The governor wants to re- vise the income tax rates, across the board, perhaps rushed to the calendar'with little opportunity during the rush of the end of the session to try and awaken under- standing as to what was in it. Every Democrat must vote for it because it was a measure for which the gov- ernor demanded support. (Miss) Gladys Walsh Madison Express Thanks Editor, Post-Crescent: We wish publicly to thank Mr. Norbert Loerke, super- intendent ofOutagamie County Hospital ,and his staff for care and the interest taken in our father, "Ernest E. Cahail, during the period he was hospitalized. They are to be congratulated on their man- agement and advanced pro- gram that keep the patients contented, busy. We are grateful. Maurine S. Douglas Maxine C. Pfrang William H. Cahail Oakland, Calif. Cheers Mrs. Troge Editor, Post-Crescent: Thee cheers for Mrs. Wil- bur Troge I read her letter to your newspaper reproduced in the Universe Catholic Bulletin. It is evi- dent she has a great big heart with her open view- point on the sad Zimmer- man case. This bus transportation has been a difficult situation or voted against it in finance Jiaa UCCJ1 Ullil_ of bill 623S is power to committee and on the senate jn regards to parochial chil- governor s ike appropria t i o n s in floor after they found out dren. I hope in the future it' what was in it. They were can be settled with a happy Sens. Draheim, chairman of finance, and Dempsey. It was rushed through the as- sembly without hearing and three of one per cent in each bracket, per- haps one per cent, which would be, a' steep boost in- deed for all 'earners, as any- one can quickly compute with a pencil and the fact "that present rates range from one.per cent to eight and one half per cent. Ad- ding one per cent to the top rate, with the existing 25 per cent surtax, would bring the tatal effective rate of the Wisconsin levy higher than anyone has previously dared to reach, and righer than any other in this coun- try. PERFORMANCE But the real significance of such action is that the raises would inevitably be- come permanent. No one seriously believes whatever the governor may pretend from his diffi- cult corner if the leg- islature goes to all the trou- ble and hazard of boosting the income tax levy more than a million, voters to such heights this year that it will undo its act in the following year. This reporter has sat around legislative press gal- leries long enough to know that taxes are not repealed. One "emergency" tax after another, in my own time, has been levied with that label in order to lull the voter, and then quietly retained in each succeeding year with- out a single blush in either legislative chamber about the deception implicit in the act. The permanence of such higher rates would be even more certain if by some miracle the governor per- suades the legislature to adopt a withholding law. For one of the powerful appeals of withholding, whatever else may be" said for it with tongue in cheek, is that it will lessen the pain of pay- ing taxes for legions of vot- ers, and will also lessen the public awareness that the rates have in fact gone up. _ MEANING In such circumstances the chances for basic tax revi- sion, whatever the prestigi- ous tax advisory commis- sion may finally propose, will go glimmering. The real incentive, -per- haps the only one, tax revision study is the exi- gent demand for more mon- ey. Once that money de- mand has been met, if in- completely, most of the steam for the difficult job of rewriting state policy funda- mentally will have escaped. All of which will be per- fectly apparent to the Re- publicans in the state legis- lature and especi ally those in the state senate who retain a controlling majority position and can veto the expedients at make lump sum or total sum for expenses. This violates rec- ord of Wisconsin legislature for long years in demanding mathematical exactness in agreement to all creeds.

It is nearly that time again, Mother's Day, a time when we join as a country to celebrate the extraordinary role our moms have played in our lives and try to somehow match that up with a six dollar Mother's Day cards from Walmart.
It was so much easier as a kid. A couple sheets of construction paper, macaroni, glitter and glue and Hallmark didn't have a thing on me!
Well, we sure had plenty of April showers so let's bring on the May flowers! Named after the Roman goddess off spring and growth, Maia, May brings out all kinds of life. Of course, that means lots of little critters are springing onto the scene as well.

Chicken salad and strawberry trifle are a delicious combination for a light springtime supper.
Leftover or canned chicken can be used in this easy salad recipe. Select low-fat mayonnaise or light salad dressing to lower the calories without sacrificing taste. Choose grapes that aren't too ripe and have a firm skin. Add whole wheat buns or bread, carrot sticks and low-fat milk to make a complete meal.

Electronic cigarettes have been in the news recently because Senate Bill 109 passed. This law bans the sale of all types of electronic cigarettes to minors regardless of the device using nicotine or not. There is a strong correlation between the use of electronic cigarettes and smoking traditional cigarettes. Passing this bill was an important step in reducing the Kentucky smoking rate by 10 percent over the next 10 years.
You know I'm a warm weather girl but I've got to say that little bit of snow here on the farm last week was just flat gorgeous! Brilliant white blanketed by emerald green made the landscape almost glimmer. Add the beauty of those blooming pink redbud trees with thick white snowflakes covering them and it was a site to behold.
As I drove into town it was obvious that those of us on the ridge got quite a bit more snow than the rest of you. I'm sorry you missed it.
I got to wear a T-shirt and shorts last week! Never mind that my legs really did look like toothpicks, color and all. Dogs were bathed, windows opened and lawn sort of mowed. Then Mother Nature got witty again and pulled us back to reality. Having grown up in Indiana, I'm used to these bipolar weather swings.
As early as elementary school, I can recall having a passion for writing. I remember using a notebook to meticulously record classmates' comments and behaviors at lunchtime. I had an innate curiosity about everything. It's safe to say that I was destined to have a career as a reporter.
Let me blunt: I do not enjoy training meetings. As foster parents, my wife and I are required to have a certain number of hours of training every year in order to keep our license and our house open to minister to children in crisis situations.
It's not fun, the training that is, but it is worth it.

We are planning our first trip to California. Yes, long overdue! We have at least 7 or 8 days before we need to fly to Portland, OR for a wedding.
We love hiking and the seacoast. I will be a bit disappointed, if we miss a drive on the Pacific coast. However, not a the expense of spending too much time driving; it will be nice to space the drives a bit. At the same time, I will like to enjoy these wonderful places without too much rushing.
So, what do you think of this preliminary itinerary? we already have a place booked in Yosemite.
Your help will be greatly appreciated.
1. Thursday, Sept 15 late arrival in SFO. Stay at airport
2. Friday, September 16 Drive to Yosemite
3. Saturday, September 17 Yosemite Day#2
4. Sunday, September 18 Yosemite Day#3
5. Monday, September 19 Drive From Yosemite to Carmel
6. Tuesday, September 20 Drive To Carmel to San Francisco
7. Wednesday, September 21 San Francisco Day #2
8. Thursday, September 22 San Francisco Day#4 Late Flight out of SFO
We could also work on extending our trip by one day, and leave on Friday instead.
Thank you!

Itinerary Help, Yosemite, San Francisco, Carmel(?)

Car rentals are cheaper in downtown San Francisco than at the airport. How late an arrival on 9/15? Can you make it to downtown (by BART) before the rental agencies close?
Plan on arriving at Yosemite as early as you can on Friday.
Plan on at least 2 hours at the aquarium in Monterey.
If you didn't want to fly to Portland, you could catch the 9:35PM Amtrak bus from the Ferry Building to Emeryville to catch the Coast Starlight.
The Coast Starlight is scheduled in to Portland at 3:40PM on Friday 9/23.

Looks OK -- Trouble is you have next to no time on the coast. Yosemite Valley to Carmel is about a 4.5 hour drive (or more if there is construction anywhere along the route)
So you arrive in Carmel after lunch and leave again the next afternoon. You wouldn't have time to explore much of anything.
If it was me - and I absolutely LOVE all three places - I'd either 1) stay an additional night in Carmel and then drive up to SF the next morning. If you leave Carmel after 9AM you'd still get a lot of that day in SF but miss the worst of the traffic.
or 2) cut Yosemite back to 2 nights and add the night to Carmel.

Didn't see Tom's post. You really don't want go into SF to rent your car. That would just have you driving through more traffic to get to YNP the next day -- plus, city center agencies aren't open as late -- plus plus, the $40-$50 you'd have to pay to park would more than negate any savings from renting in the city.

Any chance you could fly to Sacramento, Oakland or San Jose?
I had a bad experience renting a car at SFO once and vowed never to rent there again.
You might get an earlier flight into one of those other airports. All around I like Sacramento the best for renting a car and getting onto I-5 or I-80.

I didn't notice your last sentence -- "We could also work on extending our trip by one day, and leave on Friday instead. " -- if you can at ALL add one more night, that solves everything.

Thank you All for your great suggestions. The planning adds to the excitement of the trip.
We already have our flights arriving in SFO late at 11:30PM on Thursday. We need to rethink the itinerary.
janisj: we may just extend our CA stay by 1-night in order to better fit in the coast.
tomfuller: great idea regarding the Amtrak option instead of flying.
Thank you again. I will post again soon with my revised itinerary. All wonderful places to explore... I know we are not doing San Francisco justice in our planned time there; however, I am very certain it will not be our last trip there.

I'd think twice before booking Amtrak if you must be in Portland by a specific time. If you are at leisure and don't mind delays, Amtrak is great/relaxing. But the Coast Starlight is a long train ride and frequently runs late -- sometimes hours late. Last time I picked someone up off the Starlight (in Sacramento coming southbound) they were actually thirteen hours late . . .
Granted 13 hours isn't the norm - but it runs late more often than on time.

janisj: Thank you very much for the information. we plan on meeting family members on Friday evening for dinner. Before you mentioned it, I was under the impression that Amtrak may be more reliable than flying. Thank you again!

Amtrak is never more reliable than flying.

The flight to Portland is easy - quick, reliable, and should be fairly cheap.
Since your flight into SFO is set, you might consider swapping your itinerary a bit and then flying out of San Jose or Sacramento when you go to Portland rather than SFO. If you visited SF first, then rented a car to go to Yosemite and Carmel, you could save a little driving time by flying out of an alternate airport. San Jose is an hour closer to Carmel than SFO, so it would be a good choice if Carmel was your last CA stop. Alternatively, if it works out that Yosemite is your last CA stop, Sacramento airport would be a good choice.

Can you switch it around so you first go to Yosemite during the later part of your trip? That way you won't be in Yosemite during the weekend when it's more crowded.

Sigh. I actually previewed that and didn't notice the mistake til I hit the submit button. Change that first sentence to: Can you switch it around so you go to Yosemite during the latter part of your trip?

I am learning a lot from this post.
Shanti: I never took into account the crowds for the fact that our visit is in September; however, thank you for bringing it up, since my visit will fall during the weekend, and the inevitable crowds.
november_moon: we were scrutinizing the itinerary yesterday after my post, and we were contemplating the same thing. By visiting San Francisco first, we'll also have the benefit of spending two full days there.
I have contacted the owner of the accommodations in Yosemite; according to the calendar there's still availability for my new dates; if not, I will need to begin my search again. I still have a bit of time to find something else.
The revised itinerary looks like this now:
1. San Francisco - 3 nights (Thurs-Sunday)
2. Yosemite - 3 nights (Sunday - Wednesday)
3. Carmel - 2 nights (Wednesday - Friday)
I have looked at the flights to Portland out of SJC, and they look good. Now, I am really excited about this itinerary. A bit of everything we want to see on our first trip to CA.
Thank you All for all of your help!

Elusive Beauty
"I'm so sorry, I shouldnt be doing this" I offered, rather embarassingly.
I couldnt believe I had let my myself behave in such a manner. What amde it worse was the fact that I knew it was not the alcohol that was doing this to me. It was me. I was doing this o myself. I wanted him so bad to the point that I didnt care if he thought I was putting myself on him or not. I just wanted to feel his touch. His skin. Why did he always have to be so elusive? I must I admired this character beacuse that meant he was different from all the 'look at me, I know you want me kind of guys'
He was his own man. Minded his own business. Fierce!
I wanted to have this man. Each day I fantasized of how he would feel inside me. How he would move inside me. How he would smell around me.
"It's ok. I had so much fun tonight. Dont worry about a thing, just let yourself go, you deserve it" he said.
"I do?" I asked, looking at him sheepishly. The corner we were standind at had a harsh dark blue light illuminating it.
"Yes" he replied...and put his glass down on the floor. I dont think he cared if he made a mess with his drink or not.
"Come here" he grabbed my waist and proceed to kiss me. I moaned softly not only from the pleasure but also from the pressure his hands had started applying on my butt.

Study objectives: To examine the effects of 6 weeks of exercise training above or below the lactate threshold (LT) on the slow component (SC) of pulmonary oxygen consumption (V̇o2).
Design: Randomized controlled trial.
Setting: University human performance laboratory.
Participants: Apparently healthy, untrained men (n = 18).
Interventions: Subjects were randomized to one of three groups: high-intensity exercise training (HI) [above the LT], moderate-intensity exercise training (MOD) [below the LT], or no exercise training (CON). Exercise groups performed cycle ergometry 4 d/wk for 6 weeks. Total work throughout training was constant between groups.
Measurements and results. Maximal cycle ergometry was performed at baseline and after training to assess power output at the LT (WLT), V̇o2 at the LT (V̇o2LT), and peak V̇o2 (V̇o2PK). High-intensity, constant-load cycling was performed at baseline and weeks 1, 2, 4, and 6 to assess SC adaptations. WLT, V̇o2LT, and V̇o2PK increased after 6 weeks in both exercise groups compared to the CON group (p < 0.05), although there were no differences between the training groups. SC of V̇o2 decreased 44% in the HI group following 1 week of exercise training vs MOD (20%, p < 0.05) and CON (12%, p < 0.01) groups. The SC attenuation was more prominent at all time points in the HI group compared to the MOD group. Total SC attenuation over the 6-week training period did not differ between the HI (71%) and MOD (57%) groups.
Conclusions: Training at HI or MOD produced similar improvements in the LT, V̇o2, and power output at peak exertion when total work output was held constant. Attenuation of the SC with training above and below the LT were similar, although above-LT training promoted faster SC adaptations.

Jan, over at the RevGals invites us to reflect on five ways we cope with the cold:
1. I drink lots of hot beverages, tea and coffee.
2. I eat wintery meals - pot roasts in the slow-cooker, soups and chili. My favorite soups are lentil, white bean chicken chili, beef stew, and chicken vegetable. I make up my own recipes, make everything from scratch, and no two are ever the same.
3. I exercise in-doors using a stationary bike and yoga classes.
4. When I have to go outside, I bundle up as much as possible, leaving very little skin exposed.
5. I light a fire in the fireplace, drink hot tea, and read a book.

The Desert Tech SRS-A1 (Stealth Recon Scout) is the most versatile precision rifle system in the world. It is nearly a foot shorter than traditional rifles, maintains 1/2 MOA or better accuracy with quality match ammo, and can be easily adapted to individual application requirements by changing the rifle's caliber and length. Whether a police marksman is shooting 50 yards or a long range hunter or military sniper is shooting a mile, the SRS offers unrivaled flexibility.
In less than 60 seconds, a shooter can change from 243win to 338LM or countless cartridges in between, and maintain half-MOA accuracy between conversions. Each barrel repeats to its independent barrel zero to within a half-MOA. Often, it is even better than that! On numerous occasions we have changed from 6.5CM to 7LRM or 338LM and scored cold-bore hits on targets at 1000yds or beyond. This is the only truly switch-cartridge rifle that we have ever seen perform to that level. With the addition of a Tangent Theta rifle scope, a shooter can have an entire cartridge conversion complete, and have the turret on the optic re-zeroed and the zero stop set in less than one minute. Desert Tech rifles are truly in a class all their own.
Due to its compact bullpup design, the DT SRS-A1 is about a foot shorter than all traditional rifles with an equal barrel length. In addition to the drastically shorter overall length, the large diameter and heavy barrel shank that is usually far in front of the rifle grip, is moved to the rear and centered over the grip. As a result, the handling characteristics of the SRS-A1 are unsurpassed by any other precision rifle system.
The DT SRS-A1 is built around the core fundamentals of precision rifle accuracy, and was designed to allow each individual shooter to fit the rifle perfectly to their body type. The trigger shoe is independently adjustable to ensure proper 90-degree trigger finger placement while still allowing a full purchase on the rifle grip. The length of pull is adjustable via the modular recoil pad spacer system. The adjustable cheek ensures you will have the perfect cheek weld regardless of the dimensions of your head or the optics you've chosen. The integral monopod provides a rock-solid rear support which is completely out of the way when not in use.
Due to its unique barrel clamp system, the SRS-A1 is one of the most accurate and forgiving rifle systems in the world. There is no action-to-stock interface. The action is the stock, so there is no bedding or v-block stock and action mating to worry about. The SRS-A1 has the most rigid and uncompromising barrel-to-shooter interface that exists. In addition, there is nearly 6 inches of the barrel supported by the chassis. That is nearly 5 inches more barrel support than exists on most traditional rifles. Five inches less barrel free-floating means five inches less barrel to vibrate. This leads to the SRS-A1 being one of the most forgiving rifles in existence from a barrel harmonics standpoint and is evidenced by the extreme precision and accuracy exhibited by these rifles.
Primal Rights is one of the largest Desert Tech dealers in the nation. Our support of our customers does not end after the sale. We are here to help you with our extensive expert knowledge on Desert Tech products. Knowledge which was gained by extensive experience while using Desert Tech rifles and products since 2010. We have owned and used every revision of the rifle, and every revision of accessory, for thousands upon thousands of live rounds since that time. Whether you need help choosing an optic, a sling, a bipod, reloading components and equipment, or advanced load data information for your specific cartridge and rifle, we are here to support you!
Call us to order your Desert Tech rifle today!
Do you want a custom barrel?
We have partnered with one of the most talented precision rifle smiths in the country to produce our custom barrels for Desert Tech rifles. Travis Stevens at TS Customs in Miller, SD personifies attention to detail and a steadfast dedication to customer service, which makes him a perfect fit for Primal Rights, and for our customers. Together, we have more experience with non-factory cartridges and wildcats in the Desert Tech rifles than any other outfit in existence.
Barrel length, twist, contour, chambering, muzzle thread spec, fluting style, color, etc. The options are nearly limitless. We will work with you to identify the best possible cartridge choice and barrel configuration for whatever application you desire. Want a custom brake fit and finished to your barrel as one? No problem. Want your QD brake for your suppressor professionally installed and timed? No problem.
We can chamber nearly any cartridge in existence in our custom barrels. The only requisite is that it fit one of the 3 available bolt faces. Obviously it's nice when cartridges will feed from the magazine effectively, but we have done special conversions for people using rounds that could only be single-fed.
You can expect 1/4MOA accuracy or better from our custom barrels. Most customers send test targets back to us that measure in the 0's and .1's to .2's. This isn't some fluke either. This is what we expect from every single one of them. We do load development, zeroing, or other work on several dozen customer barrels each year. Forget cloverleafs. True one-hole groups are the norm after a load has been tuned to these barrels. We have several customers using them in benchrest competitions, and winning!
No matter your application, we have the experience and technical knowledge to help you make your custom Desert Tech rifle a reality.
Give us a call at 605-554-1911 to discuss details!

If you've read this far, you may be starting to get an idea of just how amazingly versatile this rifle system is. Even if we could put all of the related products and options for the SRS-A1 on one page, there would be no possible way for us to completely relay all of the knowledge and experience we have with these rifle systems. Yet that experience is available to you completely free of charge; all you need to do is pick up the phone and give us a call. The only stupid question is the one you don't ask. So, Don't hesitate!

Global Unions
Global Unions
Education International works closely with the International Trade Union Confederation (ITUC), the Global Union Federations, and the Trade Union Advisory Committee (TUAC) at the OECD, through the Council of Global Unions, in keeping with the general principles in the EI Constitution (Article 3). Global Unions work together with a shared commitment to the ideas and principles of the trade union movement. They share a common determination to organize, to defend human rights and labour standards everywhere, and to promote the growth of trade unions for the benefit of all working men and women and their families.

Quality Public Services
Global Unions express the voice of working people at major world summits like the G8 and the G20, at the financial institutions, including the World Bank, and the IMF, at related bodies such as the OECD, and at the World Economic Forum.
A major priority for Global Unions now is the campaign for properly resourced Quality Public Services. Following a successful conference in Geneva in October 2010, the Council of Global Unions has adopted a Charter, and an Action Plan, linking global advocacy with local action.
