Sun-Gazette Correspondent
hen Adrienne Steppe, of Nippenose Valley, headed out to her tree stand on the opening day of rifle season this past fall, she expected to sit for hours in the cold and not see much of anything.
Her husband, Adam, 35, was in his stand a little more than 100 yards from her, also waiting on a deer.
Little did Adrienne know, a small window of opportunity would score her a nice, heavy massed, nine-point buck, the largest deer she has harvested to date.
Adrienne, 32, is an occupational therapist and has been hunting deer since her early teens. She said it's something her family has done as a tradition.
Adam said Adrienne is more of hunter then he is. He grew up on a farm and hunting provided food for the freezer. He's just now getting back into it as a recreational activity.
The two don't necessarily hunt together, but this year they were together in the same area.
"I think it's neat. I like seeing the excitement in her eyes and the want to (hunt). I think it's really cool she likes it and she likes to shoot," Adam said of his wife.
"Our second date was on a gun range. She outshot me," he said as they looked at each other and grinned.
Adrienne said hunting together this year worked well for her.
"He gutted it and (dragged) it out for me," she said.
There wasn't any pre-scouting for the two. They hunt on a private, family property.
"I hunted that tree stand before and it's been very hit or miss. Mostly miss," she said. "So you kind of go up there expecting, 'OK, I am going to sit here and freeze and see nothing.' "
Adam said the area gets a lot of hunting pressure from the properties that surround it and is a very unpredictable area.
The stand Adrienne usually sits in is in the midst of a pretty thickly wooded area. Adam's stand was about 100 yards from hers.
Both hit the woods before dawn. Adam heard a shot close to the designated shooting time from his stand. Adrienne said she was hearing deer not far off to her left soon after light.
"I am looking down there and it's really thick. I didn't see anything. I kept looking and looking," she said. "I did see some antlers, but it was so far away I couldn't tell if it was legal or not."
She waited.
A couple of does came out to her stand and she kept her eye on the buck she saw, trying to determine if its antlers were within the legal range.
Then another buck walked into her line of sight. This time, she confirmed its size - it was bigger and definitely legal.
"I didn't see him long because it was so thick back there," she said.
Realizing her window of opportunity was going to be small and quick, Adrienne pulled up and followed the buck with her scope, but not for very long.
"At the end of the clearing, there is a bit of a shooting lane, at the end of that it's 90 yards," Adam said.
The buck walked into a very small opening that Adrienne described is in the thick area, a little beyond the end of that lane.
She was thinking, "If you are going to take a shot, do it now, or you are not going to get a shot."
She squeezed the trigger on her 260 Remington Model 7, downing the deer at more than 90 yards. It was 8 a.m. and she had tagged out.
"It just happened to step into that perfect hole," she said.
Adrienne took a breather before getting out of the tree stand.
Her shot to the buck's neck had folded its legs and took him down where he stood.When Adrienne got to him, he still was kicking a little.
"I didn't really look at the antlers. He was kicking and I actually started getting a little emotional. I shot him in the back of the head. I didn't want him to be in misery," she said.
Adrienne uses custom handmade loads her father makes for her gun, which he bought for her and which she has been using for rifle season ever since.
"I was so emotional about the deer, I didn't really look at the antlers or anything. I went up and got (Adam) and he asked what it is I said, 'I don't know. It's legal,' " she said.
Adam heard Adrienne's first shot from his stand and contemplated whether it was indeed hers. He heard her second shot and thought it may have not been her after all.
The does with Adrienne's deer came up by his stand and, as he watched them, he heard something or someone coming.
"I heard her coming up. She wasn't jumping up and down. I motioned a thumbs-up and she nodded her head. When I got down there, I was amazed," he said.
He then looked at her shot.
"Actually, when you look at it, it was a pretty good shot. It was a very small opening," Adam said. "I was looking around for her stand and I couldn't see it. I had to almost get down close to the ground and look up the hill. She shot through a little window."
"I told myself, 'You don't have time to sit here and think about it.' I was more focused on the first buck. I was getting mad because I couldn't tell if it was legal. I was kind of getting frustrated with that," Adrienne said.
"I am not a trophy hunter, and we don't get many opportunities to kill a deer in that area," she said.
Adam convinced his wife to get a shoulder mount made of the buck.
"It's only a 15-inch spread (but with) its shape and mass, I think it looks bigger," he said. "It's a nice looking deer."
"It will probably be the largest I will ever get," Adrienne said.

Traditionally decorated cabin (wood panelled inside) but everything was fantastic - they even put christmas decorations up for our arrival, and fresh flowers with wine and chocolate !! Only downside is that the sofa is slightly too small but other than that everything is fantastic.

I came here for a quiet break, to unwind after a stressful few weeks, and this did the job perfectly - the lodge is lovely!
I was surprised how large the main room was, and it felt really spacious with the high ceiling. (And lovely and warm too, thermostat set at 20 degrees when I arrived!) The kitchen was also well-stocked (including washing-up liquid, cling film etc), although I did knock a point off the fittings mark because it had an electric oven + hob, and I don't like cooking on those. Everything else was top-notch though, and I will definitely come back again.

Spotlessly clean, very comfortable, furniture very nice, and totally worth the money.

Pleasant stay, disappointed that there was no wifi, and telephoning from lodge was not always successful.
Lodge was clean but having a choice of single beds would have made our comfort so much more enjoyable .
We found fridge appeared to be not working quite correctly, food wasn't always chilled.
Toaster wasn't very good.
Lodge could have benefitted with an iron and ironing board.

The West Maui Mountains Watershed Partnership would like to recognize and thank Skyline Eco-Adventures for their generous donation of $5,000. This gift will be of great help in supporting field activities like fence maintenance and invasive plant control, as well as broadening our public outreach efforts.
This is the third year in a row that Skyline has donated to WMMWP, and we graciously thank them for their continued support of our mission to enhance and protect the watersheds of West Maui.
Skyline's mission statement speaks to preserving the island's unique landscape, and true to form, beyond their monetary gifts, the staff have also assisted our crew with fence maintenance in the uplands of Kahoma in West Maui. This work has helped to ensure that the upland native forests remain free of destructive ungulates.
Toward our goal of engaging the local community in forest protection and care of our watersheds, we invite interested parties to visit our website, www.westmauiwatershed.org or email us at email@example.com. We look forward to many more years of service with Skyline Eco-Adventures and the greater Maui community. Many thanks again!

PORTAGE -- From direct employment to spin-off jobs to overall gross regional product, the Kalamazoo/Battle Creek International Airport has a significant economic impact on the region.
That's according to a recently released draft report from the W.E. Upjohn Institute for Employment Research.
The report, the first assessment of the airport's economic influence on the region since a 1990 Western Michigan University study, looked at the issue through the hypothetical lens of the airport closing.
A total of 302 direct jobs are located at the airport, and range from employment with the Federal Aviation Administration, the Transportation Security Administration, Kalamazoo County, charter and private aviation companies and private maintenance and repair firms.
Indirect jobs as a result of the airport total 182, the largest sectors of which include administrative and support services, retail and food services.
For every 10 jobs at the airport, eight spinoff jobs are generated in the Kalamazoo-Portage metropolitan area, the report states.
Those jobs would be lost if the airport were to cease to exist. But an additional loss of 864 jobs this year would be seen from the increased cost of business in the Kalamazoo-Battle Creek region as a result of not having a commercial airport.
Job losses would continue for years because of the increased cost of doing business in the region, with 2,244 fewer jobs in the Kalamazoo/Portage/Battle Creek region by 2014, the report states.
"We've heard a lot of discussion over the years about what the airport's regional impact is," Airport Director Cliff Moshoginis said. "What if it wasn't here? What would that mean to the area? This report answers those questions."
Moshoginis was quick to make clear that the airport in is no danger of closing, insisting that the report was needed to provide the community with an idea of what the airport's value to the region was. There is no way to know whether the data in the report are trending up or down, as they simply provided a "snapshot in time," he said.
New terminal planned
Meanwhile, the airport's aeronautics board, which oversees airport operations, was to meet this morning with Jacksonville, Fla.-based design firm RS&H to discuss a timeline for the construction of a new terminal to the replace the existing 50-year-old structure.
The Gross Regional Product of the airport -- which includes Calhoun, Kalamazoo and Van Buren counties -- is $105.3 million. The airport also produces $175.2 million in total sales output in the region.
This year, the airport will generate $19.2 million in personal income in the Kalamazoo/Portage area, with about $3.2 million of that total being pay to those directly employed there and $15.3 million in pay to those working in spin-off jobs in the community and private employers located at the airport, the report states.
About $13.6 million of the total personal income generated in 2008 will be in the form of disposable income, "much of which will likely be spent on goods and services in the area," the report states.
The report comes just days after United Airlines announced it will halt its United Express service at the airport on Nov. 2, citing record high fuel costs and a sluggish economy.
Passenger traffic has slipped at the airport in recent years, with a 7 percent dip in 2007 and 13 percent decline in 2006. Currently, the airport handles eight departures and 10 arrivals daily.
Traffic of commerce
"The real impact of this report goes beyond the numbers," said George Erickcek, senior regional analyst for the Upjohn Institute and primary author of the report. "In the global economy, airport traffic is the traffic of commerce."
Not having an airport in the region would be a serious blow to the area's economy, with the cost of doing business rising while at the same time being a significant deterrent to businesses looking to expand or locate to the area, Erickcek said.
"Even though telecommunication technologies have improved, face-to-face contact is still the most preferred means of doing business," he said. "An airport is as important to human interaction as interstates are to moving freight. It's a major component of the public infrastructure."
The report states: "Being in close proximity to a commercial airport is a location necessity to a growing number of firms especially high-tech and business service providers. While the (airport) is not a hub airport and may not rank as a 'major' hub for some, its existence still provides direct access to two of the nation's largest airports, Chicago and Detroit."
Said Erickcek, "Without an airport here, the Kalamazoo area would simply be overlooked by businesses looking to locate somewhere."

Cherishing Our Family TraditionsEmily Malone
So much of the holidays are about family traditions. We've been talking about this a lot recently in our house. Casey and I both have different holiday traditions and memories that we cherish from our childhoods (okay, mostly me). And while I certainly plan to carry some of my favorite traditions forward, I'm also excited to develop and create new ones with my little family of three.
I always think it's interesting to learn about how other families individually celebrate the holidays. Growing up, we always got our Christmas tree a week or two after Thanksgiving, and we enjoyed the smell of pine and twinkling lights until the new year. But we had friends who made their annual trek to the Christmas tree lot on Christmas Eve, and they would spend their evening decorating and preparing their tree to celebrate the next morning.
Here are the few of the family traditions I'm planning to carry forward with my family…
1. Cookie baking – Because nothing says holidays like tins and tins full of cookies, right? I've already stocked up on sugar and flour – just need family to arrive so we can start baking!
2. The advent calendar – We have a really cute advent calendar that my aunt gave us last year. Each day we move the felt santa to a new square. This was one of my favorite traditions growing up, so I'm excited to have one of our own.
3. Holiday movie marathons – I've already made a list of my favorites, and once our family arrives we're planning to watch one every night after the babies go to bed. Now that we have our Xbox 360, we can choose from the many, many holiday movies available through the Netflix app!
4. Annual ornaments – In addition to the colorful balls and glittery starts adorning out tree, I also have many of the ornaments that my parents gave to me as a child. I smile every time I pass the ballerina with a fading "Emily 1984" written on her leg. We got Cullen his first Christmas ornament last year, and I'm excited to give him a new one with each year to come!
5. Tree trimming party – These last few years, I've decorated the tree by myself. My husband isn't really that into it, and Cullen was just a baby last year. But when I was growing up, we'd make a big production out of trimming the tree as a family. My mom would put on Christmas music, and we'd all dig in the box for our favorite ornaments. Then we'd search for the perfect branch. I'm looking forward to having some little helpers next year!
What are some of your favorite holiday traditions?

{Homemade Magnetic Boards} Made for You Monday Link Up #2!
Pin It
I've had this idea in the back of my head ever since I spotted Martha Stewart's Magnetic Paint at Michael's ($6.99). I finally put it into practice this weekend and my kiddos are loving it! The possibilities are endless of which types of scenes you can create. I liked the nativity scene because I found some great downloadable graphics. Those sticker scenes from Oriental Trading could be used for this project, too. I also played around with my scrapbooking supplies and came up with a simple beach scene:
Anyhow making these magnetic scenes is so easy (and fun!).
- Martha Stewart Magnetic Paint Effect
- Foam Brush or Paint Brush
- Card stock or other heavy paper
- Stick on magnets or sheets of magnets, scissors, & glue
- Laminator
- Take your desired background paper (either printed on card stock or scrapbook paper or blank (like I used for nativity). Paint the back side with 3 coats of magnetic paint. You should wait about an hour between coats. While you're waiting for the paint to dry, feel free to move on the the following steps to speed things along.
- Print out your characters or items that will be used in the scene (i.e. the people and animals of the nativity). Cut them out individually and laminate them. After they're laminated, apply the magnets to the back side.
- Once your background page is dry and ready, laminate it. It might get slightly curled from the paint, but it straightens out in the laminator. No worries.
Now you have a cute little story board scene that can keep a child busy for hours. Plus, it's very durable. If you'd like to include this in your Operation Christmas Child shoe boxes, I suggest putting all the little parts in a plastic baggie so they don't get lost. The laminated sheet should fit nicely around the edges of your shoe box if you make sure it's not too big.

Amazing! I've been searching for a relatively inexpensive way to make magnetic activity books. The printable magnetic sheets for ink jet printers are great for making the "play pieces", but they aren't "receiver" magnets so they can't be used for the background page. This paint seems to be the answer!

What a great idea!! Thank you for sharing it at Sharing Saturday!! We hope you share with us again this week.

I never thought about putting magnetic paint on paper. What a great idea!

Ten Tips for Buying Kids Slippers
2. After school or day care, kicking off shoes in exchange for slippers is a great way for kids to get comfortable and to mark the transition to home.
3. If you're frugal when it comes to setting the thermostat, slippers are a must for keeping young feet warm during colder months.
4. Slippers aren't just for cold little toes in the winter. If you have hard-surface flooring in your kitchen, living room, kids rooms, or bath, slippers will make those small feet more comfortable year-round.
5. Kids animal slippers are an easy way to have fun around the house. They'll keep feet warm, and possibly spark some imaginative play.
6. Some of the options in our plush slippers selection might look a little over the top, but that's all part of the fun. They're a kid favorite!
7. Baby slippers and bootie slippers can be worn daily, around the house and about town. These small slippers keep little toes warm and make a great gift for new babies and parents.
8. Slipper sizes can vary by brand, so be sure to look for any specific size information on the product pages as you shop.
9. Hard-sole slippers and indoor/outdoor slippers are designed for light outdoor use. They may not be ideal for hikes or backyard sports, but they're perfect for lounging outdoors or for running errands.
10. Some of the most popular slipper brands offer kids slippers. Our selection includes trusted names like Minnetonka, Acorn, Old Friend, and Reliable of Milwaukee among others.
Kids Slippers
"I want to thank you for outstanding customer service. You kept me informed on every step of the delivery. The slippers fit great, and I look forward to doing more business with you in the future."
-Ms. L.D.

Home › Coaching › Basketball Conditioning
Basketball ConditioningBy James Gels, from the Coach's Clipboard Basketball Playbook, @ http://www.coachesclipboard.net "Don't play sports to get into shape. Get into shape to play sports." - unknown
Endurance, strengthening, stretching and flexibility all are important parts of playing any aerobic type sport such as basketball. Close games are won late in the game often by the team with the best physical conditioning. When you are tired, your shots come up short, you miss your free-throws, your defense, hustle and rebounding suffer... and these are the things that win games.
If you are a quick, full-court pressing and fast-breaking team, you must be in top physical condition and you can win against more talented teams by pushing them to their point of fatigue.
Ideally, the conditioning process should begin before the season starts, as each serious-minded player should come to the first practice already having begun his/her conditioning at home a couple weeks before practices begin. A home program can involve stretching exercises, home strengthening exercises, running distances and sprints and jumping rope (good for foot speed, coordination and endurance).Once practices start, use a program of stretching, followed by running drills that stress aerobic conditioning. Finish with strengthening exercises or weight room work-out (two or three days a week). Players are stronger these days and this translates into confident, athletic teams that can rely on their strong rebounding, defense, and hustle to win many games.
Mental training... mental quickness, making good decisions during games, basketball IQ, seeing the floor, court sense... up until now, coaches have thought that these things were just something you were born with, like a "gift"... not something you could actually teach or learn.
This is all changing now with the Basketball IntelliGym, a program that "trains your brain". It teaches players to make better decisions, that lead to more assists and steals, fewer turnovers, better shot selection, etc.
Alan Stein's Elite Athlete Trainingwith Alan Stein, Professional Basketball Strength Coach and Head Strength & Conditioning Coach for DeMatha Catholic High School. Basketball conditioning expert Alan Stein stresses that being fit and being in basketball shape are two completely different concepts.
Since the game of basketball is fast paced, intense and provides very few rest breaks - your team's conditioning workouts should reflect this. Additionally, basketball is very movement-specific, so it is important to have players' include sprinting, back pedaling, defensive sliding and jumping in their workouts.
To keep the workouts fresh, innovative and on the cutting edge, Coach Stein incorporates a variety of audio and visual cues that help improve a player's ability to read and react. The drills shared in his DVDs are fun, interactive and competitive.
In addition, each of these drills can be done for a desired time or a certain number of reps, and many of the drills can be done just about anywhere, which is of great value for coaches with limited court availability. Many of these drills are basketball-specific and will help your team improve moving without the ball, defensive positioning and rebounding, etc.

Complete Conditioning for Basketball by Greg Brittenham and Patrick Ewing.
For a basketball conditioning program, exercises, drills, etc.
Many teams run sprints ("gut busters", or whatever you like to call them). However, I believe that it is better to run specific conditioning drills using a ball, rather than just running sprints. If you are going to make your players run, have then do it with a ball... speed dribbling, dribbling moves, full court defense 1-on-1, etc.
There are a number of great drills that combine conditioning and specific skills. When you do these drills, your players will get tired quickly. When they are tired, let them catch their breath by having them shoot free-throws or work on shooting form to simulate the fatigue that occurs in a game situation. But be sure to start your practice with stretching exercises first, to enhance flexibility and avoid injuries.
Below is a list of drills that are all excellent for aerobic conditioning as well as developing a specific skill. If you use the 3-man weave, the "piston" and "pitch 'n fire" drills, 4-on-4 transition, and the full-court dribbling drills, your players will definitely get an aerobic workout, and if you run some of these drills every practice, your conditioning will be much better.
You can vary the drills from practice to practice. Make sure all drills are run with intensity and speed, no "dogging it". If you feel the team is loafing, stop the drill and as "punishment" (or motivation) have them each take a ball and speed dribble back and forth full-court several times (down with left hand, back with right hand). But don't go overboard... follow a high intensity aerobic drill with free-throw shooting or some other less aerobic drill, or even a "time-out", which simulates the rest in a game situation, to discuss or demonstrate some concepts of your offense, defense, etc.
Also, when using competitive drills (where the losing team has to run a few sprints), instead of just running sprints, always have them take a ball with them and speed dribble back and forth, so they are working on dribbling as well as conditioning and their "punishment" (motivation).
Conditioning DrillsDefensive:
- 1-on-1 Drill (do the full-court drill)
- Z-Drill

Overall Experience
Quality accomodations

September 28, 2016
We enjoyed our weekend stay in Cranberry visiting friends and relatives and appreciated the comfortable accommodations we would come home to each night, especially the Jacuzzi!
Candlewood is a good value.......
September 27, 2016
Everything was nice. However, we only stayed there because the Holiday Inn across the street was full. We don't need a kitchenette and the added cost since we only stay 1 night when we travel and like a full breakfast in the morning as provided by Holiday Inn. I think Candlewood is more for travelers who plan to stay a few nights and want to save money by doing their own cooking.
Quiet Rooms and Great Location
September 21, 2016
The hotel is located near two major interstates, but you wouldn't know it being in your room. The traffic going by is almost completely soundproofed away. The hotel suite itself is very typical Candlewood, meaning it is well suited for relaxing, being comfortable,etc. Everything was as it should be.
There were no issues at all when staying here. I highly recommend this hotel.
Great Hotel and Location
September 14, 2016
This is a perfect location for a hotel. About 15-20 minutes North of Downtown Pittsburgh. And right next to the turnpike exit.

Search results for 'Plato'
Timaeus (Kalkavage, Second Edition)
"Kalkavage's translation and commentary provide invaluable assistance to students of Plato's Timaeus. The translation is accurate, but readable. And Kalkavage packs a great deal of relevant historical, musical, and mathematical information into his notes."
—Catherine Zuckert, Nancy Reeves Dreux Professor of Political Science, University of Notre Dame
A Plato Reader
A Plato Reader offers eight of Plato's best-known works—Euthyphro, Apology, Crito, Meno, Phaedo, Symposium, Phaedrus, and Republic—unabridged, expertly introduced and annotated, and in widely admired translations by C. D. C. Reeve, G. M. A. Grube, Alexander Nehamas, and Paul Woodruff.
Republic (Grube, First Edition)
The original Grube translation of all ten books, available in cloth only.
Republic (Reeve Edition)
"Reeve's new translation of Republic is the one to order for students. . . . Reeve draws on his thorough understanding of Plato's central work to provide an informed translation and properly brief supporting apparatus. A highlight is the concise, substantive Introduction that usefully encapsulates much of Reeve's own scholarship."
—P.W. Wakefield, CHOICE
Reading Plato's Theaetetus
"Timothy Chappell's Reading Plato's Theaetetus offers a translation of the Theaetetus, presented in small chunks of texts preceded by a summary and followed by in-depth analysis of the passages. The text would be an excellent companion to an upper level undergraduate course or graduate course on the Theaetetus, and is an invaluable resource for anyone working in this range of Plato's dialogues. . . . This translation is a major accomplishment in terms of style and accuracy, and it is a pleasure to read. . . . Timothy Chappell's Reading Plato's Theaetetus is a first-rate piece of scholarship that will be of great service to students of the dialogue for years to come."
—G. S. Bowe, Bryn Mawr Classical Review
Neoplatonic Philosophy
The most comprehensive collection of Neoplatonic writings available in English, this volume provides translations of the central texts of four major figures of the Neoplatonic tradition: Plotinus, Porphyry, Iamblichus, and Proclus. The general Introduction gives an overview of the period and takes a brief but revealing look at the history of ancient philosophy from the viewpoint of the Neoplatonists. Historical background—essential for understanding these powerful, difficult, and sometimes obscure thinkers—is provided in extensive footnotes, which also include cross-references to other works relevant to particular passages.
"Philosopher-Kings broke new ground on its first appearance by delivering to an audience accustomed to looking for flaws in Plato's thinking an interpretation of the Republic that celebrates the coherence of Plato's argument as it ramifies through every cranny of that controversial work. Reeve's book swiftly became a classic of Platonic scholarship and has never lost its grip. Its reissue by Hackett is a very welcome event."
—G.R.F. Ferrari, University of California, Berkeley
Plato on Love
This collection features Plato's writings on sex and love in the preeminent translations of Stanley Lombardo, Paul Woodruff and Alexander Nehamas, D. S. Hutchinson, and C. D. C. Reeve. Reeve's Introduction provides a wealth of historical information about Plato and Socrates, and the sexual norms of classical Athens. His introductory essay looks closely at the dialogues themselves and includes the following sections: Socrates and the Art of Love; Socrates and Athenian Paiderastia; Loving Socrates; Love and the Ascent to the Beautiful; The Art and Psychology of Love Explained; and Writing about Love.
Five Dialogues (Second Edition)
The second edition of Five Dialogues presents G. M. A. Grube's distinguished translations, as revised by John Cooper for Plato, Complete Works. A number of new or expanded footnotes are also included along with an updated bibliography.
The People of Plato
"A treasure-house of vital information, exhaustively and meticulously researched, presented with clarity and verve. Students of Plato's dialogues—and other Socratic writings—will no longer be frustrated by wading through dispersed and difficult to use scholarly tomes to find out about Meno's family and career or Plato's brothers or uncles or who Thucydides son of Melesias was, and his relation to the historian. With philosophical readers foremost in mind, Nails tells all. From now on, anyone reading Plato will always have this book nearby."
—John M. Cooper, Princeton University
Socrates & Alcibiades: Four Texts
Socrates and Alcibiades: Four Texts gathers together translations our four most important sources for the relationship between Socrates and the most controversial man of his day, the gifted and scandalous Alcibiades. In addition to Alcibiades' famous speech from Plato's Symposium, this text includes two dialogues, the Alcibiades I and Alcibiades II, attributed to Plato in antiquity but unjustly neglected today, and the complete fragments of the dialogue Alcibiades by Plato's contemporary, Aeschines of Sphettus. These works are essential reading for anyone interested in Socrates' improbable love affair with Athens' most desirable youth, his attempt to woo Alcibiades from his ultimately disastrous worldly ambitions to the philosophical life, and the reasons for Socrates' failure, which played a large role in his conviction by an Athenian court on charges of impiety and corrupting the youth.
"Kremer's is an attractive text because of its combination of simplicity and strong delivery, and this is true regarding his translation and his interpretive essay alike. He has striven for a scrupulous accuracy in his translation, and he has achieved this without sacrificing readability or neglecting the distinctive tone of Plato and Xenophon."
—Norma Thompson, Yale University
Parmenides (Whitaker Edition)
"Keith Whitaker's insightful introduction to this notoriously daunting text is valuable for its clarity and sobriety. The lucid interpretation will be of interest to those versed in the text and will be of great help to any who encounter the dialogue for the first time. The engaging translation humanizes the discourse without compromising its precision-a notable achievement that will earn the gratitude of readers."
—Joseph Cropsey, University of Chicago
Meno (Anastaplo & Berns Edition)
"This new translation of the Meno by Anastaplo and Berns has several distinctive features that make it useful for teaching and studying the dialogue. Generally achieving a balance between clarity and faithfulness, it includes valuable annotation, two appendices . . . and an innovative division of the text through the provision of numbers for each of it's speeches. . . . The overall result is a text that would give a reader unschooled in Greek a fairly reliable sense of the flow of ideas in the original."
—William A. Welton, Loyola College, in Review of Metaphysics
Gorgias (Arieti & Barrus Edition)
"Arieti and Barrus have provided us with a fine contribution to the literature on Plato's Gorgias. This text includes a literal translation of the Gorgias with a helpful introductory essay, and copious notes. It includes a priceless appendix of the only literal translations available today of several key speeches from Thucydides, as well as a valuable glossary and appendices on the rules of dialectic that may be derived from the arguments of the Gorgias, and on Plato's use of the terms mythos and logos, with which not all scholars may agree, but which I think all should find of interest."
—Michael Palmer, University of Maine
Plato: Gorgias & Aristotle: Rhetoric
By pairing translations of Gorgias and Rhetoric, along with an outstanding introductory essay, Joe Sachs demonstrates Aristotles response to Plato. If in the Gorgias Plato probes the question of what is problematic in rhetoric, in Rhetoric, Aristotle continues the thread by looking at what makes rhetoric useful. By juxtaposing the two texts, an interesting "conversation" is illuminated—one which students of philosophy and rhetoric will find key in their analytical pursuits.
Plato's Euthyphro & Clitophon
Text in Greek with extensive commentary in English, including a general introduction, and introductions to each of the two texts, appendices, glossary, and vocabulary. The Euthyphro and the Clitophon provide an ideal, exciting introduction to Plato and Greek prose. Even a student fresh out of introductory ancient Greek can expect to finish these works within a semester, because the Greek of the Euthyphro is clear and easy to follow, but not overly simple.
Statesman (Brann, Kalkavage, & Salem Edition)
"This will be the preferred edition of Plato's Statesman for teachers and students who are serious not only about reading the text in good translation, but also about working through its arguments."
—Dustin Gish, College of the Holy Cross
Sophist (Brann, Kalkavage, & Salem Edition)
This is an English translation of Plato presenting a new conception of the Theory of Forms. Socrates and others discuss the epistemological and metaphysical puzzles of the Parmenides, with aims to define the meaning of the Sophist. The glossary of key terms is a unique addition to Platonic literature by which concepts central to each dialogue are discussed and cross-referenced as to their occurrences throughout the work. In such a way students are encouraged to see beyond the words into concepts.
Phaedo (Brann, Kalkavage, & Salem Edition)
"This marvelously conceived new translation of Plato's most important dialogue will set the standard for classroom use for many years to come. . . . The authors' imaginative new interpretation will inspire students and generate scholarly controversy-and is thus certain to accomplish what it suggests is the true aim of Socratic inquiry: the weaving, unweaving, and perpetual re-weaving of the Logos."
—Dr. George R. Lucas, Jr., Professor of Philosophy, US Naval Academy, Annapolis
Empire and the Ends of Politics
This text brings together for the first time two complete key works from classical antiquity on the politics of Athens: Plato's Menexenus and Pericles' Funeral Oration (from Thucydides' history of the Peloponnesian War).
Timaeus (Kalkavage Edition)
Out of print - replaced by a new second edition -- This is an English translation of Plato's dialogue concerning speculation on the nature of the physical world and human beings. An extensive introduction provides careful insights to the reading of the work, the nature of Platonic dialogue and the cultural background of the Timaeus. Appendices on music, astronomy and geometry further provide guidance to the central thoughts of the dialogue. The glossary provides cross references and discussion for key words in the dialogue, functioning as springboards into the various concepts and ideas that are central to this and other Platonic dialogues and are useful starting points for any classroom discussion or personal thought.
Out of stock
Euthydemus (McBrayer & Nichols Edition)
English translation of Plato's dialogue of Socrates with two prominent Sophists, Euthydemus and Dionysodorus, and their conflicting philosophical views, in which Plato satirizes the logical fallacies of the Sophists. With notes, introduction, interpretive essay, and a glossary of important words.
Theaetetus (Sachs Edition)
"Sachs's outstanding new translation of Plato's Theaetetus is lucid, readable, and faithful to the original. More than that, it is a translation for the thoughtful reader. Through his striking translations of key terms, Sachs compels the reader to think more deeply about Plato's intent. He shows that Plato's return within the dialogue to the same word or to its cognates is no accident but signals a philosophical trope in Plato's thought. The work's introduction avoids presenting a stock summary of the topics covered or a rehearsal of the failed arguments. Instead, it makes the case for regarding the Theaetetus as Plato's 'missing' work on The Philosopher. Through the 'variety of attempts, errors, new beginnings, and false turns that the dialogue presents,' Sachs argues, Socrates provokes his interlocutors and Plato's readers to strive to cross the boundary between mere opinion and the kind of thinking that is philosophy."
—Roslyn Weiss, Lehigh University
Socrates and the Sophists
This is an English translation of four of Plato's dialogues (Protagoras, Euthydemus, Hippias Major, and Cratylus) that explores the topic of sophistry and philosophy, a key concept at the source of Western thought. Includes notes and an introductory essay.
Republic (Sachs Edition)
"Joe Sachs, known and respected for his excellent translations of Aristotle, deserves great praise for this new translation of Plato's Republic. Based on the latest definitive edition of the Greek text and guided by a sense that Greek in English need not read like an old, foreign tongue, Sachs' translation captures the flow of the conversation in an English that reads smoothly, even when the ideas expressed force one to pause and look again. Fluid, yet accurate, Sachs' translation allows the thoughtful reader deeper entry into this all-important book. The editorial guides and typographical signs to remind the reader of who has joined the argument most recently are all highly helpful and most welcome. I look forward to reading this with students."
—Charles E. Butterworth, University of Maryland
Phaedrus (Scully Edition)
"This is a fine translation, both fluent and accurate. It captures the range of tonalities of the original in elegant English that is neither stiffly formal nor cheaply colloquial. . . . The supplementary matter is appropriate and useful. The introduction is crisp and clear, the interpretive essay illuminating. . . . Scully has done a sound and serious job of translating and annotating for the general reader. Above all, his translation is excellent in respect to style and clarity: really a pleasure to read."
—David Konstan, Brown University
Symposium (Sharon Edition)
"The Symposium challenges the translator who is also a poet in its range of styles which is unique among the Platonic dialogues. Not only does the translator have to mimic the distinct style of the narrator, Apollodoros, and the seven symposiasts . . . he has to mind and represent the action in this the most dramatic of the Platonic dialogues. Sharon's translation meets these challenges and is a brilliant recovery of the style and drama of the Symposium. I know of no other translation that is so appropriately various in the styles adopted by and for the speakers or which is so attentive to the drama of this dialogue which celebrates a tragic victory."
—Diskin Clay, Duke University
Hippias Major
Published with the assistance of a grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities.
Two Comic Dialogues: Ion and Hippias Major
Together these two dialogues contain Plato's most important work on poetry and beauty.
Meno (Grube, Second Edition)
"Fine translation, good notes—inexpensive, too!"
—D.A. Rohatyn, University of San Diego
Parmenides (Gill & Ryan Edition)
"Gill's and Ryan's Parmenides is, simply, superb: the Introduction, more than a hundred pages long, is transparently clear, takes the reader meticulously through the arguments, avoids perverseness, and still manages to make sense of the dialogue as a whole; there is a fine selective bibliography; and those parts of the translation I have looked at in detail suggest that it too is very good indeed."
—Christopher Rowe, Phronesis
This translation by Dorothea Frede of Plato's dialogue on the nature of pleasure and its relation to thought and knowledge achieves a high standard of readability and fidelity to the Greek text. The volume includes a cogent introduction, notes, and comprehensive bibliography by Frede.
Women in the Academy
"These compelling dialogues invite and inspire readers to engage in a reflective journey of discovery focusing on several key philosophical themes. They provide a unique and valuable resource ideal for an introduction to philosophy and to feminist theory."
—Robin Wang, Loyola Marymount University
Gorgias (Zeyl Edition)
"This is an excellent translation. It achieves a very high standard of accuracy and readability, two goals very difficult to attain in combination when it comes to such a master of prose and philosophical argument as Plato. Because of this the book is suitable for courses at all levels in philosophy, from introductory courses on Plato, or problems in Philosophy, to graduate seminars."
—Gerasimos Santas, Teaching Philosophy
Phaedo (Grube, Second Edition)
"A first rate translation at a reasonable price."
—Michael Rohr, Rutgers University
"A very readable translation that conveys both the philosophical and the dramatic context better than any existing translation. It is extremely accurate in conveying the movement of the argument and in noting significant points of philosophical usage. . . . I am very impressed with the vividness and the easy flow of the prose."
—John Cooper, Princeton University
Phaedrus (Nehamas & Woodruff Edition)
"A superb translation that captures the rhetorical brilliance of the Greek. . . . The translation is faithful in the very best sense: it reflects both the meaning and the beauty of the Greek text. . . . The footnotes are always helpful, never obtrusive. A one-page outline is useful since there are no editorial additions to mark major divisions in the dialogue. An appendix containing fragments of early Greek love poetry helps the reader appreciate the rich, and perhaps elusive, meaning of eros. . . . The entire Introduction is crisply written, and the authors' erudition shines throughout, without a trace of pedantry. . . . this is an excellent book that deservedly should find wide circulation for many years to come."
—Tim Mahoney, University of Texas at Arlington
Greek Popular Morality in the Time of Plato and Aristotle
"A classic. It provides an invaluable aid to anyone seeking to understand Plato and Aristotle in their historical context. Dover uses a variety of literary sources to set out, with clarity and deep sensitivity, popular views on moral, political, and religious matters in fourth-century Greece."
—Michael Morgan, Indiana University
A literal translation, allowing the simplicity and vigor of the Greek diction to shine through.
Euthydemus (Sprague Edition)
"This is the best translation available of a lively and challenging dialogue, which sets before the reader profound questions about the use and misuse of reason."
—Myles Burnyeat, University of Cambridge
Laches and Charmides
"This excellent translation in current idiomatic English continues the superb quality set by Sprague in her previous version of Plato's Euthydemus. . . . Its accuracy and reliability make the present volume suitable for use in various courses in the humanities."
—The Classical Outlook

Skulls of the Shogun Review: Streamlined Strategy Done Right
The long-awaited turn-based strategy game shows how it's done.
Multiplayer is where the game is at its best, particularly if you can gather some friends together for some local action. Online play does work well, and there is even an asynchronous mode so you can exchange turns with other players at your own pace over the course of hours, days, or weeks. The asynchronous mode connects with the PC and mobile versions of the game, although I was limited to playing on and against others on Xbox 360. That's because the latter versions are restricted to Windows 8 and Windows Phone 7 devices, respectively, greatly limiting the potential audience for this feature. With Microsoft being the game's publisher and it being reluctant to open up Xbox Live, it's difficult to foresee iPad support being introduced, as was being considered earlier in development, and that's a real shame as I could see it being a nice fit on there. Without more widespread support, asynchronous support seems less useful than it could be (especially since it can be slow on 360), but it's appreciated nonetheless.
Part of the reason I wish iOS (and Android) were supported is because the AI is not intelligent enough to put up much of a fight. The single-player campaign, which I found exceedingly easy, is worth playing through once for its charming humor. But the entertainment of going back and trying to grind out the optional objectives on each -- even the fun ones, like only being able to attack with your general -- is lessened by how dumb the AI can be. It seems to lack an understanding that its general is to be protected first and foremost; more than one time, I won a mission I was replaying because the general attacked a unit of mine, apparently unaware the inevitable counterattack would kill him.
The AI also routinely pays little attention to positioning, haphazardly leaving its units near ledges so that they can be easily knocked off. Another common occurrence is when the AI attacks different units, killing none of them, rather than concentrating its fire on a single unit and ensuring it has fewer foes to potentially take hits from. More than anything, the single-player is a way of experiencing the story and learning the essentials to prepare you for multiplayer, so the AI is not as major a detriment to the game as a whole as it could have been. It is a shame, though, that the AI prevents skirmishes against the computer from being worthwhile unless you're interested in learning what not to do.
In addition to the AI problems, an analog stick proves to be far from a desirable input method for selecting units or structures. At times it'll do exactly what you want it to, but when an area gets crowded, it can be really frustrating to have the cursor jump to a unit across the map rather than the shrine an inch from where it was located a moment ago. The d-pad can be used to easily cycle through friendly units, but that doesn't help when you want to highlight an enemy unit or a shrine. Even once you do have what you want selected, moving around can sometimes prove to be a hassle because of the way units are essentially sucked into tiles they can stand on. Trying to stand in a bamboo field when units are already in it can also be a struggle, as can finding the one small area at the end of your movement circle that allows you to attack a distant enemy. Even the computer struggles with the latter -- from time to time you'll see an AI unit running back and forth, failing to get to the point it apparently wants to reach. It's funny the first time it happens, but when you just want it to be your turn again, it gets old in a hurry.
These issues, obnoxious as they can be, don't detract from what is an otherwise great console strategy game. It might never be a major tournament game obsessed over by the most hardcore of players, but it's not because strategy is entirely absent; it's always fun when you reach the point in a match where you have to decide whether to bring your general, who is a very powerful unit, on the offensive or not. And there's something to be said for its approachability. Five moves per turn keeps things from being overwhelming and encourages a fast pace, and it's easy enough to pick up that a friend of mine was able to pull out a win against me before long despite the edge I had in playtime. It's also a game that has such a great sense of humor and is filled with so many nice visual touches -- from the way the general puts his swords away when he's out of actions to the way units cower to indicate when they're unable to counterattack -- that it's hard to let what amount to relatively minor quibbles stand in the way of wholeheartedly recommending it.

I think this is available for all Windows phones. Mine is a pre-7, but still has the game available.
It's also playable on the Surface, for the 4 people out there with one of those.
And lastly, I expect all the same people who complain about Nintendo making them buy the same game multiple times for multiple devices to complain here, too. Otherwise, you are hypocrites.

IACP News
Prison Rape Elimination Act Standards Released: What Local Law Enforcement Needs to Know
n May 17, the U.S. Department of Justice released standards for the Prison Rape Elimination Act (PREA), designed to detect, prevent, and respond to sexual abuse in confinement settings. There are specific standards for any local law enforcement agency operating a lockup. The standards take effect August 20, 2013.
The release of the PREA standards provides an opportunity for law enforcement to take a leadership role on the issue of sexual abuse in confinement by establishing a culture of zero tolerance of sexual abuse in lockups and local jails. While compliance with the PREA standards is not mandatory for local law enforcement, agencies with lockups or local jails might want to voluntarily strive to demonstrate an effort to comply on a meaningful level with these minimum standards of care to help limit the risk of civil liability. The IACP's goal is to ensure all agencies are informed about the PREA standards so they can act accordingly.
To determine how the IACP can best support agencies operating lockups in understanding and striving toward voluntary compliance with the PREA standards, the IACP Elimination of Sexual Abuse in Confinement Initiative is conducting a PREA needs assessment survey for local lockups. The survey can be completed in 15 minutes and is available online at http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/IACPPREA.
Learn more about the IACP Elimination of Sexual Assault in Confinement Initiative, a partnership between IACP and the National PREA Resource Center, by visiting http://www.theiacp.org/PREA. If you have questions, email IACP Program Manager Dianne Beer-Maxwell at email@example.com. ♦

I ordered this Romantic length tutu in white, size large, for a piece I am doing, and all I can say is, it is BEAUTIFUL. The tutu is a soft, flowing tulle which accentuates every move and is just amazingly graceful. It fits perfectly, although I usually order a size Medium in leotards and I am 5'8. This dress is HIGHLY recommended! 6 stars!!

This IS yummy! I followed the directions exact except I picked up a rotisserie chicken on the way home from work to save time. Then I added some dumplings. Perfect meal for a brisk autumn evening. Thanks Julie!!
As easy a making toast~this was a pleasure to put together and as tasty as a treat too. Don't know why you would ever have to run out and get soup if you have 20 minutes, you have soup. I added some chopped red onion, (I had this in the garden) and a bit of red bell pepper, (as that was also in the garden) coupled with all the rest of the ingredients, and some Orzo pasta, this was just yummy. A bit of salt and pepper to finish, and you just want to curl up and read a good book. Thanks, Julie! Will keep making and making.

County Councilmembers recognize July 9 as Washington State National Parks Day in King County
The Metropolitan King County Council declared July 9 as Washington State National Parks Day in recognition of the economic, health and environmental benefits that county residents received from the National Parks in the region.
"King County is uniquely placed between three major National Parks – Mount Rainier National Park, North Cascades National Park and Olympic National Park," said Councilmember Julia Patterson, sponsor of the proclamation. "Because of our close proximity to these national gems, King County residents benefit from access to nature and from the economic gains these parks produce through tourism."
Millions of people visit national parks in Washington each year, many of them traveling from outside the state and country. These visitors contribute to local economies surrounding the parks, including King County.
According to the National Park Service (NPS), Washington received more than $264 million in economic benefits from tourism related to national park units in 2010. And because summer is the busiest season for tourism to these parks, King County and Washington will receive large economic gains during these warm-weathered months.
National parks also provide King County residents access to nature and outdoor recreational activities, such as hiking and camping. These activities are fundamental to people throughout the region and help strengthen families and social bonds.
Despite the benefits of National Parks, including health benefits and the creation of jobs, funding for the NPS has been cut in recent years and the NPS is in jeopardy of deeper cuts in 2013. Yet, according to the National Parks Conservation Association, every dollar invested in park operations generates approximately $10 in gross sales revenue, highlighting that funding for National Parks is a sound investment.
"People travel from all over the country and world to visit our national parks," said Councilmember Reagan Dunn. "It is imperative we continue to fund these parks and keep them in the pristine condition we see them in today for future generations to enjoy."

Paradiso Re-translated
By Rohan Kamicheril
Jean and Robert Hollander have just come out with the last installment of their translation of the Divine Comedy. The release of the final canticle of the Hollanders' triad is discussed in this week's New Yorker. Jean Hollander deals with the verse in the pair's translations, and Robert, ostensibly with the accuracy of the translations, thus answering what some see as a devil and the deep blue sea conundrum about translation: poetry or meaning? Both, preferably, seems to be the Hollanders' answer. One of the main problems with translating the Commedia into English in the past has been the constraints of the English terza rima. Jean Hollander has done away with this stumbling block by adopting blank verse for the text, and I'm certainly very eager to pick up a copy of the set and take a look at the results myself.
Thanks Steve. Link is fixed. Sorry about that.

Tobacco uses: spiritual/medical?
I know that smoking is BADFORYOU!1!! but tobacco was origionally a blessed plant wasn't it? So what were the origional properties of it (spiritual/medical/etc...) that made empire value it, and contained by what ways can it be used other than smoking?
also, I know that the tobacco industry have a bad history/ cigarettes are full of other chemicals, but I want to know around the plant in a herbal outlook.
As I understand it the Native Americans considered the smoking of tobacco as a spiritual feat because they believed the prayers went up to spirit on the wing of the sacred smoke.
I judge they smoked/used other herbs beside the tobacco to enable them to perceive the spirit world.
The peace pipe be also smoked and passed ceremonially around a circle to ensure all 'elder or chiefs' partook within the sacred ritual which be binding.
i also believe the blowing of smoke onto affected parts of the body be supposed to transport healing strength in a sweat lodge.
The tobacco be also used as an offering to Mother Earth.
They key point is that smoking be considered a sacred conduct yourself and wasnt practised on a daily principle, it was reserved for ceremonial use not each day habitual use.
join made from tobacco or wet cut tobacco is great for drawing out bee toxin
Tobacco and religion are two of the most adictive things in humanity. But ya, tobacco draws the sting poison out and church is a plausible thing to shift to on Sunday but they don't allow smoking.

R.P. Olling (USNO-DC/USRA), D.M. Peterson (SUNY, Stony Brook)
Astrometry is one of the foundations of astrophysics. Accurate trigonometric distances for large numbers of stars are attainable with space astrometry missions such as the successful HIPPARCOS, and the planned FAME, DIVA, SIM, GAIA satellites. However, external galaxies remain too distant for even these missions. In this paper we show that rotational parallaxes technique can be used to obtain 1-5% distances for Local Group spiral galaxies. The determination of trigonometric parallaxes allows for significant tests of stellar evolution. Astrometric distances to the Local Group galaxies will provide a solid foundation for the calibration of the zero points of the Cepheid's period-luminosity relation and the Tully-Fisher linewidth-luminosity relation, and hence the extra-galactic distance scale.
The rotational parallax method employs the common motions of a number of stars to determine the distance to the group as a whole. Assuming that a given target star in an external galaxy is on a circular orbit, three observables --the two proper motions and the radial velocity-- suffice to determine the three unknowns: the orbital inclination, the rotational velocity and the distance. We discuss the factors that complicate the application of this simple technique, and show that NASA's Space Interferometry Mission will be able to determine the distance to M31 to within a few percent.
