Embedded Credit David W. Dillard David Ruhman Arcadia Valley CTC
The Arcadia Valley Career Technology Center is proposing to offer "embedded" academic credit for those students who complete: a six-hour vocational program and a six-hour vocational program and additional academic specific criteria. additional academic specific criteria. complete a six-hour vocational program would receive the credit. complete a six-hour vocational program would receive the credit.
One hour of elective mathematics credit, Technical Mathematics, if students can pass a competency test sometime within their two years in the vocational school. The mathematics credit could meet the required math credits if the students failed in their earlier classes – depending on the sending school.
One hour of elective English credit for Technical Writing if they meet the minimum requirements for all established components of a portfolio. Each exhibit will be assessed by a scoring guide/rubric with minimum levels established One hour of elective English credit for Technical Writing if they meet the minimum requirements for all established components of a portfolio. Each exhibit will be assessed by a scoring guide/rubric with minimum levels established.
In Missouri a School Board can award credit based on a curriculum We can: DESE is not involved if it does not go through Core Data We did receive some funding from Missouri DESE (Perkins, local PD and state HSTW funds were also used) We needed it for the following reasons:
Perkins III: This program has accountability requirements that are based on student achievement in mathematics and language arts along with placement requirements. The Congressional debate over future Perkins funding is centering on the idea that CTE classes do not assist in raising overall academic achievement scores. Part of our Perkins Accountability Plan
The majority of the sending school students attending the AVCTC lose two credits due to travel. This program would allow them to earn as many credits as other students in their schools. We have had several students graduate because they could earn the extra credit.
The granting of embedded credit will help all districts meet the MSIP requirement for dropouts by allowing some students to earn additional credits and remain on track to graduate with their class. This may be even more important as accountability moves from dropouts to graduation rates.
CTE graduates must have the skills needed by industry. Advisory Committees have continuously pointed out the lack of math and reading skills of our graduates. CTE graduates must learn how to learn to keep pace with future change. Embedded credit is tied to employability skills. All Aspects of the Industry. CTE students see the connection between academic skills and their career field.
HSTW: There are several areas of the HSTW reform model that the granting of "embedded" credit will allow the district to meet. Academic and vocational integration is critical for both the high school and the vocational school. The extra work to earn the "embedded" credit will add rigor to our vocational programs and there will be homework for most of the vocational students.
The National Council of Teachers of Mathematics states, "All students should study mathematics in each of the four years they are enrolled in high school." "Because student's interests and aspirations may change during and after high school, their mathematics education should guarantee access to a broad spectrum of career and educational options. They should experience the interplay of algebra, geometry, statistics, probability, and discrete mathematics."
Students who can earn additional credits can stay in the CTE programs Students who can earn additional credits can attend CTE classes and still graduate Our enrollment has already reached capacity
Higher graduation requirements for core areas Highs That Work requirements NCLB and ALL students achieving Perkins accountability All CTE programs are currently articulated with two community colleges for 18 to 36 college credits
68% of AVCTC graduates who attend post-secondary school have to take remedial math, reading and/or writing classes Embedded credit will lead to better preparation to the Compas Test The number of graduates who need remedial classes is declining at AVCTC
President Bush has called for raising graduation requirements Missouri has raised graduation requirements HSTW recommends raising graduation requirements 4 language arts 3 math 3 science 3 social studies
The Process At Arcadia Valley CTC Began in 1999-2000 Integration by CTE class and local math teachers Developed integrated lesson plans Summer of 2003 Attended HSTW Summer Conference in Nashville Developed idea and began research Collaborated with sending schools Wrote first draft of the manual January 2004 Field tested math tests August 2004 Full implementation of math Field testing of language arts
Keys to the Process: Collaboration Developed by-in by CTE staff Invited area math and language arts teachers to the AVCTC to see what we did and look at curriculum Meetings to discuss curriculums Principals and counselors support School Board(s) support Outside agencies: DESE: credit, funding Mineral Area College RTEC Mineral Area Tech Prep
Visited CTE programs: looked at how their subject was related Developed list of math topics for credit & handouts to define topics Assisted with cross-reference of topics to Show-Me Standards, MO Grade-Level Expectations, & NCTM Standards Wrote test questions (16 questions for each sub-section) Talked with CTE to find common ground (this was a key) Provided in-service on math topics Mathematics Teachers
Visited CTE programs Developed list of topics for student portfolios Created scoring rubrics Conducting in-services for CTE staff on reading & writing in the classroom Language Arts Teachers
Senior Project
Attended in-services on math, lreading and writing in the classroom and curriculum development Cross-referenced vocational competencies with math topics Incorporated math and language arts in their classes Developed vocabulary lists CTE Instructors
Aligned CTE Competencies & Math Topics
Vocabulary Lists
In-services and Lessons
Weekly lessons for teachers and then students Complete tests and begin testing Purchased supplemental math & technical writing textbooks Started development of math lesson plans and videos (CD-ROM) for each math topic CTE staff determine formulas they use and develop study guides
Testing of students Student feedback Math instruction Career activities Writing assignments Project management
Topics chosen by sending school math teachers based on observation and CTE written curriculums Written Test with questions developed by the sending school math teachers 29 topics chosen for testing Students had to pass 25 of the 29 topics to earn credit Each topic had three question on the test: students had to answer two of the three question correctly to pass the topic Students could retest as often as they had time: only the sections they failed
Additional help Textbooks were purchased and aligned to the various topics; students could check them out Study guides were developed for each topic Test help sessions were provided Classroom instruction provided on weekly topics CTE instructors "emphasized" the embedded topics as they appeared in their curriculums
We conducted a web-based survey in late January and the response was over whelming Seniors Juniors Number 79 81 Want math 66 75 % 81.5% 92.6% Want LA NA 71 % NA 87.7%
100 students took the math test at least once 41 passed the test 45 Students took the test more than once 49 of the students taking the test were juniors (27 passed) One student passed who need the credit for graduation (elective credit) Year One Results

We had a great time staying at this magnificent historic villa. Perla is a very considerate and open-hearted host, and not to mention a great cook. Very much like to visit her again.
MalteApril 2014Perla's place is beautiful. The pictures portray it exactly as it is: a gorgeous room with an unbelievable view. I had trouble believing it was real when I looked out the window. As hosts, they were similarly incredible. Perla was very kind and responsive and Marco was a full on hero, helping us get into our room after we had been locked out. I would stay there again in a heartbeat if I had another ticket to Italy.
TylerApril 2014I had an amazing experience at Perla's family Villa. It's the perfect Tuscany experience. The location is so close to Florence about 20 min drive. I loved the chianti area more than Florence personally. The apartment was super clean and cosy. It had everything we needed. The villa is surrounded by nature I would enjoy the sunset in the backyard and have a mountain view. Perla was amazing host also showed me her favorite resturants and nice wine tasting in the chianti area. Her cooking also smiles amazing!! I would love to take her lessons if I ever come back again. Highly recommend this place!!!!
SnowAugust 2016Our stay at Perla and Marcos place was wonderful! They are extremely friendly and helpful. For example, we forgot our credit card so we couldn't get our car at the airport, in the middle of the night Marco picked us up and saved our entire trip. We got a ton of tips about things to do and could ask about anything. Perla and Marco are very familiar, and will make you feel at home. The room was cosy and had everything we needed. The old history of the house and the castle-like feeling are really nice
DavidAugust 2016Perla was the most wonderful host! She went above and beyond in helping me plan a surprise weekend for my wife, including a in-villa cooking class and a trip to a famous vineyard Antinori. Always smiling, with a wonderful family, if you are visiting Impruneta and want a taste of life in Tuscany, stay with Perla.
JoshuaOctober 2013Yes, Perla is the best! We spent 3 unforgettable days at Villa Perla and Marco. Everything was exellent: lovely huge villa, wonderful smells, the stunning view from the window. Immaculate cleanliness. Wonderful olive garden, private parking, charming Impruneta - all this makes Villa Saladini the most attractive accommodation near Florence!
OlgaOctober 2013Perla and her husband were really nice, we got lost and she went to pick us up. The historic villa is amazing! Breathtaking views from Tuscany, perfect to relax. They gave us a tour from the 500 year old villa, we really enjoy the stay. Perla gave us recommendations for restaurants and things to do and her husband gave us directions how to get to Firenze. Ecerything very nice.
noemiMay 2016Staying at Villa Salidini for 5 nights has been the highlight of our 2 week Italian holiday . We stayed upstairs in the Eleanora studio apartment which was very adequate for the three of us, beautifully furnished , comfy beds and linen and magnificent views from large windows across the Tuscan countryside . Some of the many highlights we enjoyed were Perla's pasta cooking class, a delicious home cooked Tuscan dinner , with some of the best traditional Italian food prepared by Perla and served in their lovely outdoor area . We also enjoyed the many recommendations Perla suggested for local restaurants, wineries , historic villages and a must is to visit Fattoria Poggio Alloro. Thank you Perla and Marco for your kindness and making our stay with you such a memorable experience, we hope to come and stay again one day .

Mattia was a great host. Very friendly and kind. We found a bottle of chianti wine on the table. :) His place was amazing. As lovely and romantic as Tuscana. We had a perfect time. I would recommend this quiet and peaceful farmhouse to everybody.
AnnaApril 2016Our stay in Impruneta was wonderful. This Tuscan farmhouse is traditional and does not disappoint. Mattia was a wonderful host very helpful and attentive and made us feel very welcome. Would highly recommend this wonderful Picturesque location
AmandaAugust 2016We loved staying in Impruneta, about 20 minutes outside Florence. The views were incredible and the food was amazing at the restaurants the host suggested. Mattia did everything to make us comfortable and was available for questions anytime. We definitely enjoyed our stay!
ChristyJuly 2016We had such a great experience staying at Mattia's farmhouse. The property and views of the rolling tuscan hills and farms were amazing. It was conveniently located, a short trip into Impruneta with easy access by car to both Florence and the Chianti region. The house was perfect for our honeymoon, private and charming with a big well appointed kitchen. We were greeted by Mattia's mom Miriam with 2 bottles of local wine and fresh pears. Mattia responded quickly with helpful information when I had questions about the area. Thanks Mattia and Miriam for a great week in Tuscany!
AdamSeptember 2016Wir sind sehr herzlich willkommen worden. Vertrauensvoller und legerer Umgang. Das Haus hat eine gute Lage für Erkundungen. Mattia, vielen Dank und gerne wieder!
JosefMay 2016The host canceled this reservation 37 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.
DeborahWe were welcomed by Mattia and his mother , the view is amazing , the place is charming and very clean , we feel in love with the region and everything is close by ,it a pretty nice place for a two couples with enough room.
JochenSeptember 2016Mattia was great and very welcoming, and helped us to settle in after a long and tiring ride. We got a local Chianti wine from a vineyard of a friend, and also some honey that he drafts himself. Both Mattia and his mother who lives nearby were very helpful and responsive. When we asked if we could bring our little baby girl, they had bought a cradle especially for her. When she was bitten harshly by evil mosquitoes, they had bought and installed a mosquito net the very same day. The house was amazing! A whole private castle, with two-bedrooms, a lovely kitchen with all necessary equipment , a saloon and a porch to sit in. Plus there is a great view and scenery all around. Impruneta itself is a very chill and comfortable town, with a local supermarket and some good local restaurants, very close to Florence. All in all, I would recommend the place very much for it's price, for it's hosts, ease of access to highlights in Tuscany, and scenery and beauty.

Wir hatten als Großfamilie wundervolle 10 Tage in der Casa Il Fienile. Das Haus ist wunderschön im Grünen gelegen. Mit traumhaften Blick in die Landschaft und sehr ruhig. Es ist alles vorhanden, was man benötigt und alles ist sehr gepflegt sowie liebevoll eingerichtet. Die Gastgeber waren sehr nett und hilfsbereit. Für wertvolle Tipps waren sie immer ansprechbar. Alles in allem: Sehr empfehlenswert für jeden, der Ruhe und Entspannung in einer wunderschönen Umgebung sucht.
AlexanderJune 2016Vittoria was a wonderful hostess -- she is a really good hearted and kind person and she cared about our experience. She gave us recommendations and made a call for us to set up an olive oil tasting. We loved her house. It was well decorated, comfortable, clean, quiet,well stocked with everything we needed including towels, condiments, etc. The surrounding area is beautiful. We all loved the house and Vittoria.
Grace JJune 2016Nos hôtes se sont montrés très disponibles. Les photos de la maison étaient tout à fait conformes à ce que nous avons trouvé sur place. L'environnement est très calme et le paysage magnifique. Commerces à proximité.
ANTHONYApril 2016Impruneta is an interesting town well located to explore Tuscany, florence and the coasts. The villa itself is well furnished and the pictures are a good representation of the property. Vittoria was extremely friendly, helpful and easy to get in touch with. Her advice on restaurants nearby and things to do was spot on barring one (Il pruneta, best avoided). However given that we had two other absolutely fantastic meals on the back of her recommendation, we would forgive this! The villa was well stocked with basic essentials, cutlery and cookware and we enjoyed making our own meals there. The dishwasher was a big plus. We were broadly happy with the experience barring the end where we felt like we were being charged for some damage that we didn't feel we were responsible for. This could either be the result of some miscommunication, or a lack of checking on both Vittoria's part and our part. That aside, we thoroughly enjoyed our week in the villa and recommend it
JayJuly 2014This is a great place to stay. Tranquil and private with wonderful views. Well equipped kitchen and good garden and pool furniture and facilities. Nothing was too much trouble for Vittoria to resolve. But there was very little help required. Pool was great. House was a good base for visiting Florence (20 minute drive) or Tuscany more widely. We had a range of guests over our 10 days and had a great visit. We'd go back.
NeilJuly 2016The house is beautifully situated with a stunning view over the Tuscan countryside. The garden is very quiet and well maintained, as well as the pool, so you can easily spend whole days just relaxing at the poolside. There were quite a few mosquitoes after dusk though, so depending on the season, a mosquito spray is recommended. The house is well equipped with all amenities, which not only offer great sleeping comfort, but also a variety of cooking and barbecue possibilities. All rooms are very tastefully decorated and the terrace offers plenty of space to sit together and eat outside. Vittoria is very friendly, helpful and easy to get in touch with (just as the immediate neighbours). She offers information e.g. on restaurants, wine tasting and your visit to Florence, to make your holiday perfect. We are a group of 7 friends who spent one week at Casa Il Fienile in August and would definitely recommend the place.
RuthAugust 2014The stay was fantastic. Set in a lovely garden with a great pool- the villa itself is very homely and the kitchen extremely well equipped! It was perfect for our group of friends with plenty of room to entertain outside and enjoy the local wine!! Vittoria (the host) is extremely friendly and helpful. The location is great for a rural loud at but would be difficult to reach without a car as the nearest town is half an hours walk away!
SamJuly 2015We were welcomed well,- the host is very friendly and understanding. The pictures may be a bit different than the real house and garden,- which dissapointed us from the start. However the house and garden was more and more appreciated,- and if the hedge would have been cut down for more view it would have been even better. Overall we left very happy.

房东超级好!一对夫妇每天莳花弄草,庭院整理的非常漂亮!这里虽然离翡冷翠中心有点远,但是每天坐车都是舒适的大巴,一路看了无数日出日落,美不胜收的托斯卡纳田园风光,至今都觉得如梦似幻! 这是欧洲最给力的厨房了吧,火可以爆炒,超市步行十分钟,女主人还借给我了购物车,超市里有大虾海鲜,荔枝都很鲜美又便宜! 如果下次来这里,我还会选择这家民宿!女主人不会英语但是热情不减!一入住就喝到了Impruneta当地葡萄酒!还有这里的教堂也是很有历史、镇子虽小但占据了一个山头,群山环抱,果林掩映,晨曦和日落,细雨和大风,我们都从这里看过风景,每时每刻大自然都让你陶醉其中,乐此不疲! 希望自己也能生活在这样的地方,画些树,捏些碗,养些花,做些饭。
琪January 2017They were both very accommodating, warm, friendly and went out of their way to help us. Even had a little cake on arrival... lovely.
Analise September 2016Sandro and his parents (who live next door) were lovely hosts. They provided all info needed and beyond. The place was beautiful, their dog so cute. We asked for extra blankets and received them immediately as well as surprise farewell cake on our last day. The wifi worked but not extremely well which was the only thing that wasnt perfect. Thanks a lot sandro!
StephanieOctober 2016Platone's Garden is the perfect place for people who are looking for rest and relaxation, but not being to far away from main spots like Florence, Greve in Chianti. It's right in the region of Chianti. We had an awesome stay at Platone's Garden. Sandro and his parents, which live next door made us feel very welcome . We were on a friendly footing with them, they helped and supported us in many ways. Their beautiful complex with the lovely garden is an oasis of recovery. It's exactly like shown on the pictures, even better. Impruneta itself is a little town, not very touristic, quiet and not very bussy (maybe caused not staying in high season there). Especially to mention is that towels and bedsheets are included. Coffee, oil and other groceries are provided. They welcomed us with a bottle of wine and fresh fruits. Thanks to Sandro, Massimo, Fiorella and not to forget Platone. We loved staying at your home!!!
SamanthaJune 2016Our stay was perfect. Sandro helped us constantly with whatever problem we had, making our stay very easy. Upon arrival he gave us great instructions to find the bus to the house, and his father picked us up from the town centre, making the whole process completely stress free. The town (Impruneta) is 20/30 minutes outside of Florence but easily accessible by bus, making it easy to enjoy the city. The buses run more rarely on a Sunday but are still every few hours. The house is located 30 seconds from the bus stop and 10 minutes walk from a good supermarket. Sandra's mother and father (who live next door) made us feel at home immediately, leaving us with a bottle of wine, but even though we don't drink wine, we greatly appreciated the gesture. They even brought us some delicious cake! They were also very helpful when I left my phone on one of the buses, offering to call the station the following morning for us. Overall, our stay was lovely and we would definitely return!
ZacharyJuly 2016We had an incredible time at Sandro's place in Impruneta. A wonderful little house in a charming town near Florence (a 20mn drive) with beautiful landscapes, nice restaurants and good winemakers. Sandro and his parents who live in the attenant house, gave us precious advice and an unconditionnal good mood. Definitly a 5 stars accomodation !
JuliaJune 2016We had a fantastic time at Platone's Garden. Sandro's parents were extremely friendly and helpful, the place is nice, quiet, clean and private. The garden is gorgeous, the house is charming and parking by the house was very easy. Platone himself is a big but very kind and peaceful dog. We warmly recommend!
AliceJuly 2016Fiorella and Massimo were such a lovely couple who were very kind and helpful. They were especially caring for our two children. We were very hot when we arrived so were very happy to find cold bottled water in the fridge and a bottle of wine.

We had a great time at impruneta, the apartment was really beautiful and conveniently close to firenze and chianti. Monica was really nice with us and took care of everything. In addition she also gave us lot of practical information about firenze , bus lines, taxi prices etc. Not even one complaint !
ÀlexAugust 2016"Casa di Margy" is a wonderful apartment, and it was one of the best Airbnb experiences we've had so far on our trip. Impruneta is a beautiful village just 30 minutes by bus outside Florence, and we felt like we got the best of small town Italy and the historic city. Monica gave us every detail to take the bus from the train station in Florence, and she answered every question very quickly. Monica is the perfect host - there was a festival in progress when we arrived, and she met us at the bus stop and walked us through town to the apartment while her husband delivered our luggage by car - this was so nice. The view from the apartment is amazing, and Monica supplied food for our first breakfast along with espresso and tea. She explained the transportation to us, and the bus stop for Florence is very close by as well as markets and restaurants. We stayed at the apartment for five days, and it felt like home - we were sad to leave. Thank you Monica for everything you did to make our trip to Florence so perfect!
DeenaOctober 2016Thank you for sharing your beautiful home in Firenze! We appreciate your hospitality greatly! Ciao!
NancyOctober 2016Our host was amazing. We were very late on our arrival due to some issues with the car we were renting but Margherita waited for us until 10.30pm without complaints. She even bought some pasta and pesto for us so we could have dinner. The apartment is comfortable, stylish and beautifully furnished. There is a car park right in front of the building. It's a 20 min ride to Florence, easy and convenient. Wifi in the apartment is excellent, which was very important for our two teenagers. Even though it was very cold outside, the apartment was really warm and cosy. We would come back any time. Thanks!
SanjaJanuary 2017We had a great time in Impruneta. The Appartement was perfect. The kitchen had anything we needed for some delicious meals and everything was really clean.

Thank you so much for a lovely home and all your tips and help. We had some great days and we want to come back as soon as possible. Greetings from Germany
SophiaJanuary 2017We have a wonderful experience staying in Monica's apartment. Monica was an extraordinary host. The place of the apartment is in a very beautiful village connected with Firenze with several local roads, frequent public transport and very friendly for cycling. We highly recommend this accomodation.
DraganJuly 2016Appartement très spacieux et agréable à 30 minutes de Florence. Monica est à l'écoute et met tout en oeuvre pour que le séjour soit une réussite.
marineJuly 2016My stay at Monica's was the most incredible AirBnB stay I could ever imagine. From the moment I booked until after we checked out, Monica went above and beyond to make our stay enjoyable. Before we arrived, we communicated frequently, and she gave tons of directions on how to get to her home, sent timetables of public transportation, and even picked us up at the bus stop to take us to her home. Once at her house, Monica showed us around and provided us with tons of maps and guidebooks, and even gave us a gift of sketchbooks for each person! Monica made us feel so at home. The WiFi was not working at the time, so Monica stayed an extra half hour and fixed the WiFi until it was perfect. We had no further problems with the WiFi during our stay. There was tons of food available to us in the apartment (croissants, foccacia bread, nutella, frozen pizza, honey, jam, rissoto, pasta, tomato sauce, orange juice, cookies, wine!) and an endless supply of cappuccino and espresso packets. Monica also provided shampoo, conditioner, hair dryers, makeup wipes, Q- tips, and much more. The home itself is nestled in the hills, and the house has a stunning view of the sunrise and sunset. The town is very homey and welcoming, and we had a wonderful dinner just a 5 minute walk from the house. We took a 35 minute bus from Florence to Impruneta for only €2.30. My party of 4 had plenty of room in this spacious and stylish apartment. The pictures on Airbnb don't do her home justice, it is huge and beautifully decorated! We only spent one night here, but seriously considered cancelling our other travel plans to stay in Monica's home. The hospitality was the epitome of Italian hospitality, and I cannot recommend Monica and her home highly enough. You are in for a serious treat staying at Monica's home!

Una casa encantadora en medio de un entorno típico de la Toscana. La casa tiene mucho encanto y todo lo necesario para sentirte como en casa. Perfecta ubicación para visitar Florencia y la Toscana si viajas en coche. Para ir a la Florencia dejas el coche en la parada de metro en un parking gratuito y coges el autobus que te deja en el centro de Florencia. El anfitrión es un hombre encantador siempre dispuesto a ayudar y dar buenos consejos. Recomiendo esta cas al 200%. Sin duda volveré.
JulioJanuary 2017I had a very nice stay, and Giuseppe was very nice and responsive to all of my needs. He even included me with his dance plans, as I am also a swing and tango dancer! Another highlight for me was getting to see the Ai Weiwei exhibit at the Palazzo Strozzi (through Jan 22); don't miss it!!! While I could not speak Italian, and his English is very limited, we managed to communicate. The apartment is clean, warm, and comfortable; strong wifi; beautiful views! Bus stop with parking takes you to Florence/Firenze #37 takes you there in 25 minutes and faster without traffic. The first two days were great, then my GPS stopped working; so getting home took a lot longer than I would have liked as I could not find the right bus stop for the right home. The ATAF website did not help me. Learn from my mistake: write down your bust stop NAMES coming and going. I believe the name of the bus stop in Firenze to return home on the #37 is called Museo Luigi Bellini (Solderini 01, direction Bottai) or the following stop named the S. Rosa Station (cross the bridge walking away from the Uffizi). I marked these on a map I left with Giuseppe as well. If you do not know, you can buy tickets on the bus for 2 euros or at a Tabacchi for 1.20 euros.
SandyNovember 2016Ik was de eerste. Het huis is moeilijk vindbaar, maar er was vooraf een goede route beschrijving met foto's gemaild. De beschrijving is correct. Er had wel wat meer keukengerei mogen zijn, en wat eerste levensmiddelen zoals koffie. Giuseppe is een aardige man, maar spreekt geen Engels. Met ons beider beperkte woordenschat aan Frans kwamen we er prima uit. De afgelegen ligging vereist een auto, winkels en restaurants zijn er niet op loopafstand. De ligging is echter prachtig en heel rustig.
GéMay 2016Logement très bien situé, belle vue sur les montagnes. Maison retirée donc tranquille. Florence accessible en bus ou en voiture facilement. Grand lit confortable, bonne connexion wi-fi. J'y retournerai avec plaisir
JoelleAugust 2016Everything was perfect. The home is really beautiful, you will find everything you need (towels, kitchen, wifi, tv...) and it is really clean. The landscape is wonderfull even better than pictures - also really quiet. Is it well situated close to Florence and the motorway. Giuseppe was really nice and always happy to help, he came to take us when we were lost to arrive. Thanks again
SandraJuly 2016é stato un piacere di stare qui per questi giorni!
RichAugust 2016Really nice place. Guiseppe doesn't speak very well english but he is very kind and helpful. He was a great host. You can come without hesitation to his place.

Ich weiß garnicht wo ich anfangen soll! Ich habe selten eine so aufrichtige und ehrliche Gastfreundschaft erlebt! Danke Dino, Danke Giovanna, Danke Leonardo!
SebastianSeptember 2015Nos recibieron los padres de Leonardo, un matrimonio absolutamente encantador y atento. Nos prepararon la casa con fruta fresca y comida básica. Nos trajeron más fruta a media semana y el día antes de la despedida nos sorprendieron con un manjar de helado de diferentes sabores. Puro amor. La villa es muy tranquila, sin ruidos ni coches y preciosa. Si quieres visitar la Toscana de forma relajada este es tú sitio. Máxima nota.
GerardAugust 2016Abbiamo soggiornato 4 giorni nel periodo di capodanno, per trascorrere una vacanza nella campagna toscana e in tranquillità. La location è perfetta e i proprietari ancora di più, sin da subito sono stati super ospitali, disponibili e non ci hanno fatto mancare niente. Raccomandabile al 100%.
FrancescaJanuary 2017Our best Airbnb stay ever! Leonardo's parents were the most welcoming and helpful hosts we ever had. The house is nice and cosy and has everything we needed. We stayed here one week with two adults and one baby which was definitely Ok with regards to space and everything. We will definitely recommend this place. We enjoyed our stay here and will miss Impruneta as well our lovely hosts:)
AleksandarSeptember 2016The most amazing place. Very romantic, very clean and pampering guest house. a little bit hatd to find.
איליהOctober 2015Abbiamo trovato una calorosa accoglienza. I nostri ospiti sono stati gentilissimi e si sono dimostrati disponibili a soddisfare ogni nostra richiesta. La casa, totalmente indipendente e tranquilla, è collegata con Firenze dai mezzi pubblici. Da Impruneta, con l'automobile si possono raggiungere tutte le zone a sud di Firenze con estrema facilità.
MauroJanuary 2016The perfect house!! We are more than happy to have found Leonardo's place! The location allows you to move throughout Tuscany very easily (I personally recomend you to rent a car to get te full experience! They have their own private parking) The house has everything you possible need, the kitchen area is big, the room is very spacious and cozy and the bed is really comfortable too!! Dino and Giovanna are the nicest people very caring and willing to help! They even put fresh fruit on the table and some other goodies for you to eat and relax!! Leonardo was available always via (SENSITIVE CONTENTS HIDDEN). Thank you for being so kind to us! Pura vida!
HildaMarch 2016This was an amazing experience in Leonardo's house in Impruneta. We never met him, but were received by his lovely parents, who were very kind and always available. The house is very cozy and a perfect place to rest after a day travelling around Tuscany. We enjoyed every sunset drinking wine in their beautiful garden.

StineOctober 2016Very nice and comfortable flat and very kind host. Flat is big and sunny, in calm street, with beautiful view from balcony. Very clean and well furnished in typical italian style. I can recommend it for every visitor of Florence and everybody who want enjoy Tuscany countryside.
BeaSeptember 2016Loriano and Sabrina always responded fast, with accurate information. At the start they met up and showed us the apartment and gave us a lot of valuable local information. They are very polite and gentle people who take time to explain things and listen. The apartment is very clean, fresh and modern. It has been decorated by someone with good understanding of design and color. The pictures are accurate and give a realistic view of the apartment (we found it to be better then the pictures). kitchen is well equipped. The bed linen was also of top quality. The main terrace has a fantastic view. The apartment has AC in 2 of the bed rooms and the third one gets cooled by on of the others. The AC in living room was not functional but there was a fan in it. It was fine for us. The location of the flat is fantastic. The building is located a few minutes stroll from the main square. The village has a picture perfect feel with old houses and narrow roads. The area of Chianti is supposed to be the best in Toscana (at least we did not see anything better). There is a direct but going to florance and it takes like 20 min. You avoid all the hassles with parking. It is about an hour drive to Siena via rural roads and the same to Pisa. But the best part was the recommend restaurants in the nearby area. We had a fantastic stay. Parking is no problem. Area felt very safe and nice.
RishiJuly 2016Desde la cálida bienvenida con una botella de vino toscano hasta nuestro último día en casa de Loriano, nuestra experiencia como huéspedes ha sido fantástica. Loriano y Sabrina han sido muy amables y han estado siempre pendientes de nosotros y de que nuestra estancia discurriese sin contratiempos. La casa es muy amplia, moderna y cómoda y muy luminosa. Está ubicada a cinco minutos del centro del pueblo, con un supermercado a menos de 200 metros. Desde la terraza se domina un bonito paisaje de colinas y viñedos, típico de la Toscana. Por su situación geográfica, Impruneta ha resultado ser un lugar ideal para visitar la región. En tan sólo 10 minutos en coche se accede a las más importantes autopistas, autovías y carreteras que comunican con los pueblos y ciudades más interesantes. Los días que hemos visitado Florencia hemos utilizado una carretera interior que discurre entre campos y que nos dejaba en la ciudad en unos 15 minutos. Desde Impruneta se accede también en pocos minutos a la zona de Chianti por carreteras interiores, por las que es imprescindible perderse visitando pequeños pueblos, monasterios y también elaboradores de vino y aceite. Nos llevamos un gratísimo recuerdo de nuestra primera visita a la Toscana. Esperamos repetir la experiencia en el futuro, pero también recomendaremos el apartamento de Loriano a nuestros amigos.
JoseAugust 2016Super accueil des hôtes, donnes de bons conseils touristiques. L'appartement est de qualité, beau, propre, bien équipé... dans un charmant quartier près des grands points touristiques. La vue de la terrasse est superbe. Allez-y!! Merci àLoriano et sa conjointe!

Nous avons été merveilleusement bien accueillis et guidés par nos hôtes et il y avait même des rafraîchissements dans le frigo et de quoi grignoter en cas d'arrivée tardive. Bref de beaux souvenirs et nous reviendrons certainement chez Irène dans quelques temps. Merci pour ce séjour. ..

YueOctober 2016Leuk en modern appartement. Ideaal om van hieruit uitstapjes te maken in midden Toscane. We zijn hartelijk ontvangen door Irene's ouders en Irene had voor ons een restaurant gereserveerd. Het door ons bestelde ontbijt was super! Echt een aanrader voor liefhebbers van Toscane.
MarkJuly 2016The house is spacious, clean and beautiful, has two amazing gardens (one at the front and one at the back side). The two bathrooms are also a big plus. Kitchen and every rooms were very well equipped so we felt like we were at home. Parking was always easy in front of the house. The place is calm and beautiful and has a very good location if you want to see the treasures of Tuscany. Our host Irene and her family were very kind and lovely people. They were very helpful any time we needed some help. When we arrived they welcomed us with cold drinks and cakes. On the last night they even surprised us with a bottle of wine. I would recommend this place and I would be happy to go back again. Thank you!

Barbara was a fantastic host. She was easy to communicate and waited for us as we were running late. Her place has a dramatic feel of the tuscan hills. The drive to Impruneta was easy and the scenic surrounds are just fantastic. The photos are very accurate and seeing the beautiful sunset from the balcony is something to remember. Thank you to Barbara for allowing us to stay in her place for a couple of nights. Hope to stay in your place again, Barbara!
AliceOctober 2016Barbara was really helpful. describing everything we needed to know about the flat and about visiting Florence. We couldn't have asked for more. The location is lovely, typical Tuscan countryside and near to amenities in the local town. The flat itself had everything we needed and was very spacious and clean.

We absolutely loved our stay! It is uniqe and beautiful I would recommend it to anyone who seeks some peace and quite but still want to be not too far away from Firenze or other towns around Tuscany. The pool and garden was wonderful! A car is a must. The only minus wold be the bed which wasnt very comfortable and short. We never met Marina but her staff was so so lovely and made us feel super welcome and we wil gladly come back and recommend it to friends and family.
AmandaJuly 2016Tutto perfetto e la padrona di casa molto gentile nonostante fossimo arrivati in ritardo!
martinaMarch 2016Appartement bien situé au sud de Florence et pas très éloigné de Sienne et du Chianti. Valdemore s'est très bien occupé de nous: ménage, bons conseils, répulsif moustiques... L'appartement est propre, spacieux mais non attenant au terrain avec piscine et terrasses (toute petite route à traverser). La literie est simple mais confortable, l'équipement en vaisselle et électroménager est basique. Parking privé et fermé à disposition. Magnifique vue sur la campagne environnante quand on se trouve sur le terrain aménagé en terrasses où est servi un petit déjeuner copieux et varié. Service de lingerie très appréciable (draps changés tous les 3 jours et serviettes tous les 2 jours).
Chris1805July 2016We had a pleasant experience staying here. The room was spacious, and included the necessary amenities. Aside from that, the location offers plenty wonderful views of the nature in the Chianti area. It is really close to the town Impruneta (especially by car), where we enjoyed some delicious meals at a local restaurant. The best part of our stay however was the service. Marina and Valdemaro were happy to provide us with information of the area, help us plan our activities and provide us with rides to and from Impruneta, when we checked in and checked out.
DanielOctober 2016un petit problème absolument pas de la faute de marina a été résolu par elle avec maestria et elle nous a permis malgré ce soucis (complètement indépendant d'elle) d'avoir un magnifique séjour dans sa merveilleuse région. encore merci Marina pour ton aide précieuse , ta région est absolument magnifique! nous reviendrons et la prochaine fois nous essayerons de ne pas te donner le soucis de nous aider , nous profiterons de chez toi!
Marie AntoinetteNovember 2016My girlfriend and I stayed in Marina's guesthouse for four nights, and overall it was an enjoyable experience. It is located in a very beautiful and relaxing part of Tuscany; for a quite getaway it's perfect. Marina and the other member of staff Valdemore were very friendly. They served a breakfast every morning that was excellent, and offered very good advice on where to go on days out. If you stay here I would highly recommend going to the towns of San Gimignano and Monteriggioni, which are both amazing places and were suggested to us by Valdemore. We didn't actually stay in the room pictured on AirBnB. After arriving we were told the air-conditioning was not working in this room and so we were put in another. This other room was reasonably nice though; the bed was comfortable and the shower was good, although it was smaller than the room pictured on AirBnB. The kitchen was quite a bit smaller (it was disguised in a cupboard!) and not in a separate room, but was still fine to cook with. Marina gave us some money back to compensate us for the change of room after we asked. I still had a good stay here despite the issue with the room, and the views around the guesthouse and driving around Tuscany in general are amazing. Tuscany is an incredible place to visit and I would love to return one day. Thanks Marina and Valdemore!
MilesJuly 2016Lovely location, great host.

ValterJanuary 2017Claudia et Vahid sont des hôtes charmants. Ils communiquent dans un anglais parfait, et sont très prévenant. Ils ont tout prévu pour notre bien être et s'en sont soucié en permanence. L'appartement est parfait pour 2, mais on couche très bien à 4. La vue est fantastique, et on trouve tout à 10 minutes maxi. On est à 20 minutes de Florence... Je ne saurais trop conseiller le restaurant à côté (agriturismo Inalbi), on y a été reçu formidablement pour une somme dérisoire. Une superbe expérience qui dure bien plus de 2 nuits par l'empreinte qu'elle laisse.
Jean-PhilippeJuly 2016Stop looking and book here! If the breathtaking views from your balcony do not win you over, Claudia will. Claudia and her husband are the sweetest and caring couple! They are are attentive hosts that provide you with all the information you need for food, bus schedules, activities, wineries and things to do. They were generous to provide food for breakfast and even got special food for our toddler (and wine for mommy and daddy!). The room is beautiful, clean and very modern. The kitchen has everything you need to cook during your stay. Claudia truely made our trip by inviting us to a local fundraiser dinner (some of the best food we have had on our trip!) and giving us a real taste of Impruneta. Their dog is especially a sweetheart and wonderful with young kids. The location is 20 minutes from Florence and you can reach most major cities (Lucca, Siena, Greve etc) under an hour and a half. Perfect place if you want to travel around Tuscany. Couldn't recommend this place more!!!
JennSeptember 2016We had a great time at Claudias apartment. It's small, but really cozy and furnished with everything on could ask for. And the view from the terrace is simply amazing. Also Claudia is really nice and did everything to make us feel at home. We only spend 3 nights at her place, but I could easily imagine coming back some time and spend more time, because we felt really at home.
AlexanderOctober 2016Nous avons passé de superbe vacances chez Claudia! Le logement est exactement comme sur les photos, propre, cosy et très agréable. Nous avons pu profiter de la terrasse et de la piscine tout en ayant une vue merveilleuse sur les collines de Toscane. Un petit oasis de douceur au milieu non loin de Florence et au milieu de Chianti. Claudia est une hôte très accueillante, aux petits soins et à disposition pour le moindre soucis. La nourriture et les boissons mis à disposition ont été très appréciés. Merci pour ta gentillesse et ton accueil! Nous recommandons absolument ce logement pour découvrir la Toscane!

Barbara and Andrea were very welcoming and helpful and the apartment was lovely too! It had everything we needed and it was a good location in the beautiful hills with an easy 30min bus journey to florence!
MariJune 2016Nell' appartamento di Barbara e Andrea siamo stati davvero bene. La casa è grande, accogliente e molto ben illuminata. Inoltre è ottimamente posizionata, dal momento che si trova a 20 metri dalla bellissima piazza centrale dell' Impruneta. Il soggiorno poi è stato particolarmente piacevole anche perché i proprietari sono stati estremamente disponibili e super premurosi nei nostri confronti, fornendoci generosamente ogni tipo di supporto fin dal momento della primissima accoglienza.
FrancescoApril 2016Les hôtes sont très accueillants, arrangeants et parlent français. Nous avons eu toutes les explications et les conseils pour que notre séjour se passe au mieux (restaurants, fonctionnement de l'appartement, des parkings ...). Un petit supermarché ainsi que des commerces (boulangerie, pharmacie...) sont accessibles à pied car l'appartement est au centre ville. Une très bonne expérience, on vous recommande ce logement !
AdrienAugust 2016Tanto Bárbara y su marido Andrea nos recibieron con mucho cariño y estaban siempre disponibles. El apartamento tiene todo lo necesario para pasar unos días y recorrer esa zona de la Toscana. Ideal para los que quieran conocer Florencia. Tampoco hubo problemas de aparcamiento. Hemos pasado unos días inolvidables y todo nuestro agradecimiento a Bárbara y a Andrea.
AlfredoOctober 2016Barbara è una persona molto gentile e cordiale. L'appartamento è centrale a Impruneta e molto comodo per gli spostamenti limitrofi. Perfetto per una coppia o un piccolo gruppo. Non mancava nessun comfort e la pulizia e il silenzio notturno sono stati ottimi! Consigliato!
FedericoJanuary 2016Barbara and her husband were wonderful hosts!! They even graciously gave us a bottle of wine they bottled themselves, so lovely! The apartment was beautiful and in the best location. Impruneta is a beautiful small town up in the hills of Tuscany. It's only a 30 minute easy bus to Firenze city center, but moreso we enjoyed hanging out in Impruneta, people watchig and exploring the neighboring towns. Bar Italia was wonderful for breakfast/coffee and Hotel Bellavista was perfect for dinner! Overall a fantastic experience, thank you for everything!!
SydneySeptember 2016Barbara and Andrea her husband were great! Both are really good fellows! They helped me a lot, gave me recommendations, advices and i had fun going with Andrea drinking coffee. He is very easy going and surprising with magical tricks. It was big fun. The appartement was also very nice, comfortable, quiet and close to Florenz. So with busses Florenz was easy to reach in a short time. The bus stop is not far from the apartement (100 m). What i also appreciated at Imbruneta was the fact that it is in the neighbourhood of Florenz but also located in the Toscana. So i had the big city to explore and the beauty of landscape to relax. It was an engoyable holiday that i had and for sure i can recommend Barbaras appartement.
ThomasMay 2016Barbara and her husband were very good hosts, warm and considerate. They gave us some tips on restaurants, local shops and immediately searched for some toys for our kids to play with during our stay. Their appartment is lovely, spatious, comfortable, the kitchen fully equiped. The village of Impruneta is a nice old village and a good starting point for trips to Florence, San Giminiano and other places in Tuscany. We had a very good time there.

I was reading a TR and the person said that she got tickets or something for the Magical Express? Do you have to book the magical express, or how does that work? Also how would you get the tickets and when? Thanks as always!!
You have to reserve it in advance, just call. DON'T wait until the last minute; give at least a few weeks to make sure you get your packet. Packet includes vouchers and one luggage tag for each person on reservation. See the Transportation Board for more information, including two 'sticky' threads.
I'm speaking from a recent experience. We booked our complete package (room, tickets and dining plan) through the Walt Disney Travel Company. We booked our flights almost a week later through SW. After booking flights, we were told to call the Walt Disney Travel Company and provide them with our flight numbers so that The Magical Express would know when to pick us up. Two years ago for our trip, we received a little ME booklet with our "tickets" to board ME. They were scanned by the Cast Member and we boarded ME. Hope this helps.
Magical Express is the complimentary bus service for transfers between MCO and a Disney resort. When you book (or after you buy your airline tickets), you need to call Disney with your flight information and register for ME if it's something you want to use. About a month or so before your trip, you will receive tags that have your resort name on them, which you attach to your luggage. You don't have to mess with your luggage at MCO as Disney takes care of everything (this is what the tags are for) and your luggage will eventually be delivered to your resort. I think you also get paperwork or tickets for registering/boarding the bus at MCO.
We have not used it yet, but we received our ME luggage tags and vouchers about 3 weeks after we booked our vacation. The booklet you receive answers any questions you might have and gives step by step instructions that we found to be "dopey" proof.
I have a question too. This is the first time using ME. I received my packet with ME tags and such. However, my flight info is listed as unavailable. I did give the CM my flight #'s when I did our ressies. Do I need to call and give them the flight info again? CM did mention something about it showing on ME as Midnight but that was standard and not to be alarmed?? I have no idea what she was talking about. But apparently we are signed up for ME or we wouldn't have received the info in our packets. Very confused about the whole process.
I'm sure everything is fine since you received your ME packet, but if it were me, I'd call and give the flight information again. It may also be a glitch that the flight information is in the computer but just didn't get put on the paperwork.
You're fine. Flight times change (either rescheduling or delayed). It's important Magical Express knows what day to expect you; time, not so much.

One of a series of colour etchings published by T McLean of Haymarket, London. Paul Pry's 'March of Intellect' series of satirical prints was published between 1825 and 1829, lampooning the political isues and reading habits of the day. Here, fantastic imaginary inventions are shown, including tunnels to the North Pole and South America, a flame that will roast an ox but is harmles to children, and a 'grand cigar divan' which produces condensed smoke. The layout is that of a travelling show, or circus, featuring various acts and novelties.

As anyone who knows the tiniest thing about me knows, I'm a massive fan of the Alice stories (ie Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass). I love the way Lewis Carroll creates a unique and wildly fanciful world, then uses the various characters to play all sorts of tricks and games with logic and language. The books are essentially plotless, as Alice wonders from one encounter to the next. That's their charm. And each character is beautifully rendered, both as a character in their own right, but also as a way to express a different idea or puzzle.
But the Tim Burton movie was nothing like this at all. It was as if the wonderful characters had been commandeered and placed in a completely different story. A quest, or an adventure story, that owed more to The Lion, the With and the Wardrobe (to be honest, I thought that the plot was a blatant rip-off), rather than anything by Lewis Carroll. To me, it stank of robbery. These characters did not belong there. They did not suit that kind of narrative. And the various character features (apparent from a few token lines of dialogue) were barely anywhere to be seen as the characters were put into the service of the plot.
Tim Burton, to me, is a serial offender in this regard. Honestly, fancy giving Willy Wonka a backstory. He's a classic trickster character - he's not quite of this earth and that's the whole point of him.
Which gets me back to the main point of this post. We writers put a lot of time and thought and love and care to create our characters and make them just right. I know, in any adaptation, there are changes that need to be made - you don't just directly translate a book onto the screen. But you don't misuse characters either. You don't divert them from their original source, and their original characteristics in order to stuff them into a different kind of story. In short, you respect the original text.
And if you want to tell a different story, tell a different story. Use your imagination - create a whole new world and a whole new batch of characters. Using other people's characters smacks of laziness. And it also feels a bit like exploitation - taking advantage of the ubiquitousness of some characters in popular culture in order to make it easier to market.
There. I've said my peace now and I feel much better. I'm sure there are lots of people who loved the Tim Burton film and utterly disagree with me. That's fine. I don't mind.
Have a great (and original and imaginative) week.

To the Editor: —The abdominal pain arising at the onset or during the course of acute rheumatic fever has been the subject of much speculative comment among both cardiologists and pediatricians. A paper by Costedoat (Bull. et mém. Soc. méd. d. Hôp. de Paris53:1353 [Dec. 2] 1929) and a subsequent communication by Dr. J. D. Geissenger (The Journal, May 3, p. 1427) indicates the paucity of literature on this subject, which, strangely enough, is not unfamiliar, especially among physicians practicing in the Eastern seaboard cities of this country, where acute rheumatic fever is endemic.At a meeting of the Metropolitan Medical Society held at the New York Academy of Medicine, Jan. 25, 1927, I reported a case of rheumatic pericarditis simulating an acute surgical condition of the abdomen. The patient was a child about 6 years old who was suddenly seized with epigastric pain while playing in the

Here's a nice poem for you: Ozymandis by Percy Bysshe Shelley. I met a traveler from an antique land Who said: Two vast and trunkless legs of stone Stand in the desert. Near them, on the sand, Half sunk, a shattered visage lies, whose frown, And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command, Tell that its sculptor well those passions read Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things, The hand that mocked them, and the heart that fed; And on the pedestal these words appear: "My name is Ozymandias, king of kings: Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!" Nothing beside remains. Round the decay Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare The lone and level sands stretch far away.

From the vision and insight of four mountain men was born Back Country Horsemen of America (BCHA), a leading organization in the fight to preserve the right to ride horses on public lands. The organization now has more than 13,000 members from more than 185 chapters and affiliates in 26 states.
Humble Beginnings
The BCHA's seeds were planted in the late '60s and early '70s. As hiking, mountain biking, and other trail uses rapidly grew, the general sentiment toward horses on public lands soured. Pack and saddle stock were quickly restricted to a few particular trails or prohibited altogether.
Roland Cheek, Ken Ausk, Dennis Swift, and Dulane Fulton knew they needed an organization of horsemen to represent the interests of back country horse users on matters regarding public lands. The group brainstormed and developed a vision for a new organization and a course of action for it to follow. They also arrived at three basic principles that have guided BCHA since its inception:
- Become involved in public land management issues that affect recreational stock use;
- Participate in volunteer programs on public lands that enhance riding opportunities; and
- Educate horsemen in low impact methods of using stock on public lands.
The founding members presented their ideas to local officials of the Flathead National Forest (Montana), who endorsed the concept and encouraged them to proceed. The founding members gathered community support and at a public meeting on Jan. 17, 1973, officially formed the first Back Country Horsemen organization. True to the principles of the new group, they immediately became involved in wilderness issues and volunteer programs related to equestrian use.
The idea of a united voice speaking for the interests of stock users spread throughout Montana and Idaho during the 1970s. Around the same time, the Washington State Horsemen and the High Sierra Stock Users Association of California, both with similar goals and objectives as the new Back Country Horsemen organizations in Montana and Idaho, became interested in affiliation. In 1986, a constitution was adopted by representatives of all four states and the organization officially became Back Country Horsemen of America.
Making a Difference
In the years since then, BCHA had addressed a variety of issues at the local, state, and national levels, including forest management, wilderness use, the U.S. Forest Service's Limits of Acceptable Change process, invasive species, stock restrictions, user fees, trail closures, outsourcing, sale of public lands, endangered species, agency funding, and more. BCHA takes an active role on these issues and helps shape outcomes that will benefit recreational stock use as well as other trail users.
From the very start, BCHA members have found ways to volunteer their time, manpower, horsepower, and money towards projects that benefit the community and keep public lands open for recreational stock use. This work includes cleaning trails after storms; blazing new trails; hauling in materials for the construction of bridges and camps; preserving historic trail structures; public education about enjoying and protecting America's wilderness lands; picking up litter; food drives for local food banks; stocking fish; rescuing ill and injured hikers; and so much more. Many of these projects, although performed by horsemen, benefit all trail users and the wilderness in general.
Often, BCHA does these projects in cooperation with other organizations, such as the U.S. Forest Service, Bureau of Land Management, state divisions of natural resources, Sierra Club, The Wilderness Society, Colorado Plateau Mountain Bike Association, Wyoming Wilderness Association, Washington Trails Association, Pacific Crest Trail Association, Montana Conservation Corps, Capon Valley 50K Run (West Virginia), Continental Divide Trail Alliance, Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency, Trout Unlimited, and Southern Appalachian Wilderness Stewards.
In 2011, Back Country Horsemen across the country donated 326,347 hours to volunteer activities. The total value of the "grunt labor," vehicle mileage, stock hauling, pack and stock used, and equipment and supplies used during those hours was nearly $11 million. During the past 17 years BCHA has contributed $74 million of service and 2,970,000 hours of time.
BCHA is celebrating their 40th anniversary throughout 2013 with events and activities at all levels of the organization: chapter, state, and national. Some special activities are scheduled during their annual national board meeting in April in Rapid City, S.D. Festivities include educational clinics, meet and greet gatherings, and recognition of the individuals who have helped make BCHA the amazing organization it is today.

Unit V - WWII Review Guide
1. What are the causes of WWII? FLAMED – Explain each cause and how it contributed to the start of WWII. F = Fascism L= League of Nations A = Appeasement M = Militarism E = Expansionism D = Depression
2. What is isolationism? What finally changed the views of Americans to switch from isolationism to interventionism? - Idea/belief of staying out of war – after WWI, the US wants to remain out of all European conflict. Americans views switched after the bombing of Pearl Harbor – US no longer remained in isolation – wanted revenge for the surprise attack on Pearl Harbor
3. What was the Treaty of Versailles? Was it a success? Explain. - The Treaty of Versailles was created and signed after WWI – it explained the "punishments" towards Germany for their aggression during WWI. Not a success – led to the start of WWII – why? Countries did not enforce the Treaty ex) Germany built army, invaded the Rhineland, took Austria, and invaded the Sudetenland.
4. What was the weakness with the League of Nations? - The US didn't join – countries were weak in enforcing the Treaty of Versailles
5. Who made up the Axis powers? What did Italy and Germany have in common? What did Japan and Germany have in common? - Germany, Italy, and Japan. Italy and Germany – both weak economies post WWI, high unemployment, upset with government – led to the rise of fascist leaders. Japan and Germany – both wanted to expand – aggression, both had militaristic/totalitarian leaders – military controls nation
6. What was the root of Japanese aggression? Where did they invade first? Why? - Need for natural resources = to fuel industrial revolution. Need for land = booming population, not enough room in Japan, need to expand for population growth. - Manchuria = because weak government, close to Japan, wanted resources and land for population
7. One of Hitler's goals was to create an Aryan race. What was the largest group of people that Hitler targeted and persecuted? What was a Jewish ghetto? What was a concentration camp?
7. Answer - Targeted the Jewish population for the problems in Germany post WWII. Jewish ghetto = Hitler's initial gathering of Jewish citizens. Jews were forced to live in certain areas surrounded by barbed wire. Couldn't leave – if attempted, would be killed. Concentration camp – created to force Jews and others of the non-Aryan race to slave labor. People were starved, abused, later in the war, created gas chambers where prisoners were gassed.
8. Explain why each of the following were major turning points in the war: a. Battle of Stalingrad = Victory for the soviets – prevented the Germans from advancing further into the USSR – the Soviets were able to turn the Germans back towards Germany.
8. Explain why each of the following were major turning points in the war: b. Battle of Midway = First major victory for the US in the Pacific Front. Used the strategy of Island Hopping to gain lands closer and closer to Japan.
8. Explain why each of the following were major turning points in the war: c. D-Day (Invasion of Normandy) = Operation Overlord = the Allies organized an invasion in Northern France to push the Germans out of the European Front – huge victory for the Allies. This began the German retreat back to Berlin.
9. What was the US strategy in the Pacific Front? Explain. - Island Hopping – the US would "hop" from island to island gaining control. Battles were long and high casualties. Slow process because of the Japanese willing to fight until death
10. What was the main justification for Truman to drop the Atomic Bomb? - That island hopping would result in more US casualties – by dropping the bomb, more US lives would be saved, and it would guarantee an unconditional surrender by the Japanese.
11. What were the similarities and differences between Hitler and Stalin? - Both were totalitarian leaders, both wanted to spread their ideal form of governments (fascism and communism respectively), both purged political parties that presented competition in their countries. Differences = fascism VS communism, some private property vs no private property, individual above the state vs state above the individual, value elitism vs equality
12. Describe the relations between Stalin and the Allies. Why did he not get along with Churchill? Why did he not get along with Roosevelt? Truman didn't want Stalin to have a say in Japan after war. Why?
12. Answer - Stalin resented Churchill and Roosevelt because he wanted them to open a western front while he was battling the Germans in the east. Churchill and Roosevelt didn't open western front until 1944. - Truman didn't want Stalin to have a say in forming a government in Japan after the war – didn't want communism to spread to Japan – the US begins its containment policy (not letting communism spread)
13. Who was present at the Yalta Conference? What was the outcome of the Yalta Conference? - Stalin, Churchill, and Roosevelt. - Divided Germany to be under the control of the Allies – GB, FR, and US controlled Western Germany as well as West Berlin, the USSR controlled eastern Germany as well as East Berlin.
"We shall not flag or fail. We shall go on to the end. We shall fight in France, we shall fight on the seas and the oceans, we shall fight with growing confidence and growing strength in the air, we shall defend our island, whatever the cost may be. We shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills; we shall never surrender." – Winston Churchill -Churchill was determined to not give into Hitler and the Nazis – fight until the British are successful in bringing down the Nazis.
"I fear all we have done is awaken a sleeping giant and fill him with a terrible resolve." – Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto, upon learning of the success of the attack on Pearl Harbor That the attack on Pearl Harbor will now force the United States to attack Japan. The United States will not stop until they seek revenge for the attack by the Japanese.

Kyosho Ferias: How to mount a sp380 on a firewall?
Folks, I have the remnants of a Kyosho
Ferias that I'm repairing after a crash due to a radio glitch. The sp380 motor was held in an aluminum hose-clamp like structure mounted on a couple of plywood arms that stuck out from the firewall. The arms broke off in the crash and I'm wondering how mount it witn some 'give' in the mount so that minor contact of the prop with the ground on landings wont rip off the motor. The original mount wasnt bad but its hard to repair without taking off the firewall and i'd like to patch up the firewall with some plywood and mount the motor on it. Thanks. |
The original Ferias Motor mounts were notoriously weak anyway... A simple hard landing without prop contact would be enough to snap the two pieces of wood.
I have seen several "fixes". 1. Run 2 1/4" dowels about 8" into the fuselage, use rubber bands to hold down the motor. 2. Replace and reinforce the original mounts. This time the motor was mounted on 1/2 of the clam-shell mount and rubber bands were used. 3. Bolt up a nylon/glass motor mount for a .15 size engine to a plywood firewall, again, rubber bands were used... All 3 of these methods worked, but 2 seemed to work the best. This method kept the original downthrust. The reinforcement was 2 triangular pieces of 1/8" ply glued under the existing mount. This brace finally broke when the aircraft thought it would be fun to emulate a lawn dart, and its wing snapped in half... All I heard was a CRACK, a loud "Oh C**P" and 5 seconds later a smash... At least the radio gear survived... |
Thanks for the info spam! All good
suggestions. I'm also considering replacing the plywood arms with carbon fibre 'cept not having dealt with CF very much, I have no idea if a strip of carbon would be suitable or not. I need it to be strong enough to support the 280 while being able to bend in a mild crash and spring back into shape. I'm not sure what thickness to get or if I should go for a CF tube. Are CF tubes available in rectangular cross- sections? If so, those might be more suitable. Ashok |
