Veeeery nice and romantic place. With beautiful streets and nice shops. And the taverns are very nice with great food and nice view, most af them being situated on the roof.
During my stay in rodos, i came several time in lindos because i like it so much. I visitid also the ruins of the fortress and i enjoy them!...
Lindos village is just beautiful lots of small winding alleyways market stalls shops restaurant s bars very good for food all tastes catered for but it's very hectic place if you have young children pushing a pushchair would be awkward up and around the tiny alleyways .
How do you describe the village of Lindos? A Greek jewel? A perfect destination? One of the best places on earth!?
I have never been anywhere quite like Lindos. It really has something for everyone. The cobbled streets, beautiful beaches, stunning views of the acropolis, the amazing food, brilliant choice of shops, nearby places to visit and let's not forget...
It's a quirky place in a unique way.
You walk or take a shuttle bus down to it.
Built on the cliff edge.
Lots of shops and bars to visit.
Beach is unreal.
After all that when you get to the bottom you can have a donkey ride back up....
Lindos it's a fantastic place in Rhodes !! It's a small village with a breathtaking views !
With fantastic restaurants and amazing beaches !
It was good trip , night life is nice: night clubs and bars- we had a lot of fun. In day time we went shopping , beautiful white buildings. Worth to visit
We visited on a boat trip from further up the coast. We got a donkey taxi up to the acropolis and the views were magnificent. We browsed some of the gift shops and had lunch before getting the boat back. Would definitely be worth spending more time there.
It is very very beautiful. Go around and relax. You can travel with turist boat, rent car or buss.
You can sweam, eat good food, souvenirs or just see around.
It's the reason why you should hire a car. Lindos makes you feel like you're actually on a cycladic island.!The castle and its view is truly worth a visit as well as the two beaches of the place. At night, when all the village and the castle is lit, the place is magical.
I've been there twice and I'll go...
its a must visit place, when you some to Rhodi. Has a history. Many tourists during the main season, but thats obvious. There are plenty of donkeys which can take you up, but we were so sorry for them, as they usually carry those heavy ppl who should really consider walking the hill, as that would help their body fat...
We want to stay in Lindos next August can anyone please think of a villa or apartment right in the centre that has a pool or Which hotels that have pools would you recommend that offer the easiest access to Lindos town
Many thanks
I am thinking of taking a bus from Rhodes to Lyndos. How far is the bus stop from the port?
I am looking to book around 13th May, is there much open, is there supermarkets open at this time? as It will be self catering and I don't believe the studio apartments offer food. Thanks.
Im thinking of traveling solo on a self catering basis in Lindos. Are there any fast food outlets there selling giros and the likes? I don't mind restaurants but I don't fancy paying high prices every day, I like the idea of fast food when I need it whilst out and about. Also is the night life good? I'm 44 so don't want foam parties but not dead either. Cheers in advance.
Hello, we are going to Lindos by car from the direction of Rhodes. What other places we could visit on the way in the same day? We are a family of 2 adults and two children of 5&7. Any advice is appreciated!

Drawing a striking parallel with the brand itself, Taiwanese fashion brand wisdom addresses the notion of summits with its Spring/Summer 2014 collection. The collection is titled "EIGHT THOUSAND FEET" as a reference to the peak at which most climbers experience altitude sickness. These ideas are most obviously expressed through asymmetrical cargo pockets and buttoning on T-shirt bodies, as well as clever gradient polka dotting. Elsewhere, designer Hans Chyi was sure to preserve the 'urban dweller' aesthetic as outlined in the "Mt. GENTLEMAN" release a while back, expressed through vibrant plaid separates.

Thanks Dan
I would like to point out that I also attached probably 60 retailers to
my site for anyone to use and asked if anyone would like to add it to
theirs. Where are you on that one, Bill. :-)
I do hope this photo library gets off the ground and have maybe 20 more

Most Iraqi people are Muslim I expect and in a country like Australia or New Zealand, their would be a larger portion of people there, who are Christian's rather than Muslim. Apart from the obvious differences between these two ideology, there is a far deeper difference between the two faiths. One of the effects of this problem can be seen in the way these two faiths treat their women. Now this is just one problem in one direction but there are far more related issues to the main problem. Islam views human beings in a different way to that of Christian's. Marxism views human beings as machines or accidents of unguided evolution rather than 'personality' and this is why Stalin Mao Hitler and many others who shared this Marxist view of human beings didn't flinch at the idea of millions of people, some of them their own citizens might die as we say in the West.
I think that if the cultural base for a belief system is not understood in a debate, then their can be no progress of ideas and solutions aren't possible. Pol Pot would clean the gaps between his teeth whilst being interviewed in court, whilst the hole Western world shuddered with a mix of sadness hatred and fear. Two different worlds seeing things in two different ways and communicating in two different languages.
Great story, but people in non-Islamic countries need to know the difference between the underlying cultural authority of any belief system.

Help! What size tire can I use?
I am putting on a 2.5" skyjacker lift on my 2009 Unlimited - and I want to use the STOCK rims. My original equipment tires are 255/75/R17's. This is the first lift I'm doing myself and need to know what size tires I can put on there - If I keep the original tires on there, I think it will look weird with the 2.5" of lift, by the way, I dont want huge super swamper tires, just making it look a little more beefy - so giant tires are not an option, just something to beef it up a bit and give a little more ground clearance... Thank you all!
I am sure you can do 33x12.50's with no problem, you may even be able to squeeze some 35's in as well if you dont mind some rubbing.
Wheel spacers and 285/70-17 Duratraks sound good for what you describe.
:D I have Hankook Dynapros LT 295/75x16 and Spidertrax 1.5" spacers
No lift (yet) and they rubbed on the stock bumper, so I just got a new OLYMPIC bumper
So keep it all in mind !!

The Entrepreneur's Corner
Solidifying the long-term future of your business
Here's an important question for busy business owners – what's next for your company? Not just tomorrow or even in the months ahead, but when the time comes that you or one of your key employees retires or leaves the organization unexpectedly?
At a time when many baby boomers are thinking about retirement, those who own a business need to plan not just for their life after work, but for the future of the firm they've committed so much of their lives to. In a small- or mid-sized business, the owner and perhaps other key personnel play such a vital role that special planning is required to prepare for circumstances in which any of these individuals is no longer part of the organization. If your business doesn't have a succession plan in place, it is an issue that needs prompt attention.
There are a number of questions to consider in helping prepare for the period of transition a company inevitably faces. They include:
• Who is in line to follow the principals of the firm? The most fundamental aspect of a succession plan is to have a replacement (or replacements) in line. In many cases, a family business will move from one generation to the next. In other situations, a trusted employee or group of employees may need to be groomed and prepared to assume control of the company in the future.
• How will control of the business be transferred? Once successors are identified, there are a variety of ways that control of the business can be transferred to them. Among the options are an outright sale to the new owner – either in a one-time transaction or an installment sale – or the use of a trust vehicle, such as a grantor retained annuity trust (GRAT) or a grantor retained unitrust (GRUT). Those are irrevocable trusts to which you transfer appreciating assets while retaining an income payment for a set period of time. At either the end of the payment period or your death, the assets in the trust pass to the other trust beneficiaries (the remainder beneficiaries). The value of the retained income is subtracted from the value of the property transferred to the trust (i.e., a share of the business), so if you live beyond the specified income period, the business may be transferred to the next generation at a reduced value for estate or gift tax purposes.
An important consideration in the decision-making process is potential tax ramifications, particularly for the seller. There are tools available to help reduce the potential impact of capital gains, estate and gift taxes when a sale occurs. Good planning plays a critical role in making sure that both the seller and the buyer achieve the most favorable results.
• What forms of protection are in place in case an unexpected event occurs? The need to implement a succession plan can sometimes strike without notice. Businesses that involve partners or likely successors, for example, may benefit from having a buy-sell agreement in place.
A buy-sell agreement lets you keep control of your interest until the occurrence of an event that the agreement specifies, such as your retirement, disability, or death. Other events, such as divorce, also can be included as triggering events under a buy-sell agreement. When the triggering event occurs, the buyer is obligated to buy your interest from you or your estate at the fair market value. The buyer can be a person, a group (such as co-owners), or the business itself. Price and sale terms are prearranged, which eliminates the need for a fire sale if you become ill or when you die. Remember, however, that you are bound under a buy-sell agreement.
Business succession is a complex matter. It involves close work with a financial advisor, tax specialist and an attorney experienced in these types of matters to structure a solution that is most suitable for your business and potential successors.

Comment on attachment 654431 [details] [diff] [review]
The mapping from the python enum to the C++ enum is a bit weird because we depend on treatAs having the same ordering as the python enum.
What if we used just a dict mapping the WebIDL string values to our desired string values, and then just stored the WebIDL string value in the IDLArgument? That would at least nix the ordering dependency. If we wanted to really be cool, we could change our C++ string values to match the WebIDL ones (e.g. replace eStringify with eDefault or something).
In the WebIDL parser, I don't think we should raise an error on TreatUndefinedAs=Missing. That's not a problem for the parser per se, and the codegen will already raise an error on it.
In the codegen, even if type.nullable() we need to examine treatUndefinedAs, no? In particular, if the argument is "[TreatUndefinedAs=EmptyString] DOMString?" then passing undefined should produce an empty string.
r=me with those last two bits fixed and maybe some parser tests added. A followup bug is fine for the string/enum stuff.

Arizona Cardinals
Warner: Trading for Alex Smith wouldn't 'cost that much'
The San Francisco 49ers may have plenty of suitors for quarterback Alex Smith this offseason, with the Arizona Cardinals possibly joining the mix.
Smith, who has become expendable to the 49ers after the emergence of second-year signal caller Colin Kaepernick, could be an ideal fit for a Cardinals team that still lacks an impact quarterback.
Former Cardinals QB and NFL Network analyst Kurt Warner told Arizona Sports 620's Burns and Gambo Monday he thinks Smith can be had at a reasonable price.
"First of all, I think San Francisco as a gesture to him is going to let him go. So I don't think it's going to cost that much," Warner said. "I think a three or a four [draft pick] would be my guess on what you had to give up to get him. So I don't think the cost is too high for a guy that can win at this level and shows what he brings to the table."
Smith has suffered his fair share of ups and downs, posting a 19-31 record over his first five seasons in the league. But he appeared to turn a corner last year, en route to a 19-5-1 record.
In 2012, Smith seemed in position to lead the 49ers for the foreseeable future, before a concussion derailed one of the best seasons of his career.
San Francisco then went on to post a 7-2 record with the dynamic Kaepernick at the helm before losing in the Super Bowl.
Smith's future is now up in the air, but he stands to be a popular target in trade talks this offseason. While the Cardinals seem like a logical fit for the 28-year-old quarterback, Warner said it's important for Smith to find a system that plays to his strengths.
"I think that's going to be the key for Alex Smith and whoever brings him in is make sure what you're going to do and how your team is built fits Alex Smith and if you're Alex Smith try to do the same thing," Warner said.

paint care??
Now i know many of you "hardcore guys" never wash or keep your jeep clean. so shut up and dont post with lame comments
BUT i don't like my crap looking like ass and falling apart. after i wheel it i clean it, check for loose or worn parts and then wheel it more...
what products do you guys use??? any tips or tricks????
i use a Claybar to get things clean and i wax it once before winter and once before summer.
my wax of choice at the moment is Zymol, stuff kicks ass and works fast.
I dont use tire dressings, and ive painted my flares with Krylon Fusion satin black. although krylon fusion in my case hasn't held up to off road abuse.
interior i use armor non grease formula. i pull out my carpet if need be and hose it off.
I usually power wash the heck out of my drivetrain and suspension/frame
Ive found that spraying the frame and other parts with WD40 after a good mud run will make everything look brand new. my frame and suspension aside from scratches and dents look new. a big reason i wash things down and get the mud outa everything is because i work on my jeep and i hate getting crap in my eyes and i dont like rust.
now im not religouse about cleaning the jeep but i try to keep it clean.
Mine seriously needs a bath, and since I got the new window installed on the top I think I should do that tomorrow.
Good tips man.
Meguiars Detailer Professional's Choice : Water Based Dressing
Use this on inside plastics
Meguiars Ultra-Kote All Purpose Dressing and Preservative
Use this on exterior plastics like fender flares or Wheel Wells to make them shine, it has silicone in it to help protect the plastics from the weather and road dirt/grime/mud.
sweet thanks for tip levinoss
Oh and dont worry Im a clean freak about my jeep also most of the time.
I like to put a nice coat of wax on mine every few months or so...just helps with the scratch protection.
Wash by hand and then I apply 2 coats of good old fashioned Mother's carnuba wax and use armor all on the inside. Takes me about 4 hours to wash and wax usually unless I go mudding then about 6.
They have this dash cleaner/protectant at Murrays called 303 Aerospace Protectant ($7.99) the company claims its a "SPF" for your interior. Stuff works great! I put it on once a month and you get the great deep rich black of armour all but with no grease feeling(omits the fading also). I have the top down all summer and with armour all you get the dust build up. This stuff has an anti static solution built into it and with the wind from driving it blows the dust and dirt off. Makes a quick interior clean up really easy! I rate it a 5 of 5 and recommend it highly.

How to get to Mont Blanc from Aosta
We are planning to spend some time in Aosta and would like to know if it is a city that would be convenient to travel to Mont Blanc and surrounding Alps using Aosta as a base. Would one week to 10 days be too much to explore the area on day trips.
How to get to Aosta and Pre Saint Didier from Milano airport?
Hi everybody! Would you please answer my question - how can I get from Milano airport to Pre St. Didier? Thank you! Best regards.
Spring snow and floods
Does your area typically experience flooding when the Alps melt? There has been so much snow this winter, we are concerned that the roads may be impassible.
We are planning to travel through Aosta in early-mid May 2012, and are interested in seeing the mountains.
How do you get there???
Can someone please advise the easiest way for us to get to Aosta? We are a family of 4 and will be travelling around Italy. We can't find any information about what is the best way to travel there either via train or by bus. Rgds, Susan
Music Instrument
I visited Aosta last year. WHile there a folk band played music with an accordian and a long wooden instrument held over the shoulder and played with a stick/mallet. I want to know the name of the instrument. I appreciate your help-I have been searching on the internet all year for this. I saw one in a music store in Aosta for sale-should have purchased it then!
Bonjour- merci!

Alpine travel in Aosta
I am a geologist who needs to traverse from Aosta to Zermatt. From what I have gathered we will have to cross four glaciers and it will probably take us 2 days. I am having a hard time finding a map with all the possible trails between Aosta and Zermatt and all the possible huts along the way. This is sort of round about stuff to be on the internet and find out about. Our group has extensive alpine training and we just have to figure out our basic route before comming up to Aosta on May 22 to begin the trek. I would appreciate ANY advice
Thanks for your help

Classic Rock
13 issues / year
Jun 2015
( 117)
Every month, Classic Rock magazine goes behind the scenes to bring the real stories behind rock legends from Led Zeppelin to Metallica, to Marilyn Manson and beyond. Every issue is packed with exclusive interviews and features on rock's biggest names, and includes the heftiest rock reviews section on the planet.
****Please note: This digital version of the magazine does not include the covermount items you would find on printed newsstand copies. Any links that you see within issues referencing additional content for the magazine, please type these into your web browser to access.****
****Please note: This digital version of the magazine does not include the covermount items you would find on printed newsstand copies. Any links that you see within issues referencing additional content for the magazine, please type these into your web browser to access.****
CR is Great, Newsstand Not So Much I was only a couple of months into a Zinio subscription and CR switched to Google Play without warning or apology and I had to take out a new subscription. Experience isn't as good and I often find when enlarging a page that the image breaks up I don't think the resolution is as I certainly found text has better definition when enlarging. To sum up I'm disappointed with Google Play's handling of magazines through Newsstand. Can't fault the content (5 stars) though I've been getting the magazine itself for over ten years.
Classic Rock Indeed I've been buying Classic Rock as a printed magazine since issue 3 until issue 190 and as a digital copy to the present. I went digital as I was having trouble reading the printed copies and to save space. The quality is superb and I have no trouble. On my HTC mobile the magazine shows in a different format to my Samsung tablet. On the former to read a page you scroll down whereas on the tablet the page shows as if you were reading a magazine. It would be nice if you could switch between the formats. I have bought a number of the back issues (which I had as printed copies) and have tried to contact Google (as is they and not Classic Rock who are responsible) to find out whether issues 1 on-wards will be made available to purchase, but you can no longer email them and have to ring.
I am a subscriber but on android it's asking me to subscribe. The new edition has been out for quite a few days and is still not out on android. Another month and the play store still says I am subscribed, but there is a new issue, and I have to pay again, to get it. September and once again, it knows I subscribe but wants me to pay for this issue. I am canceling my subscription. I do still read the magazine; but over a year on, it's still just scanned pdfs and nothing like the Ipad
Top spec mag Just no more led zep and more lesser bands features on what they are doing now where have they gone and why
Needs a 10" tablet and a free CD replacement Works OK on a 7" tablet but not quite as smoothly as the Zinio magazines seem to. Beats me how a MUSIC mag can be missing the tracks off the free CD though. Just to rub salt in the wound, there is a pointer to a page with CD details. Go to the page and what do you see? Links to downloads? A bonus article?? No - an extra ad!
Why does Google rip people off? Hey Google, I Learned today that Classic Rock is now only available thru the TEAMROCK app. If this is the case why don't you notify people that NEWSTAND no longer carries this item? And why do you still take a payment for something you no longer offer?

Three people are recovering in the hospital after a five-vehicle accident on SPID near Weber that happened around 7:30 a.m. Friday.
Police said a 44-year old man driving west on SPID in a black truck entered the freeway from Weber when he crossed the solid white line and struck an unoccupied black Volkswagen. That car was parked between two solid white lines on the shoulder of the freeway.
The truck then spun and struck a gray Explorer on the slow lane of the freeway, causing it to crash into a gray van, which then struck a red Dodge Charger.
The gray Explorer rolled onto its side and stopped on the freeway.
"The sun sometimes blinds people. They need to understand that they need to slow down, and keep your distance, that way it is easier," said Lt. Carlos Rios of the Corpus Christi Police Department. "So if there is something ahead of you, you're going to be able to make a change of lanes."
A 13-year old boy, a 16-year old girl and a 45-year old woman were taken to the hospital. The unoccupied Volkswagen was impounded.
The 44-year old man driving the truck was given a ticket for making an unsafe lane change.

|Property type
|Minimum Stay
|2 nights
This little house is small and simple with ceramic tile floors and open beamed ceilings. It's clean, bright and private. One bedroom with a queen bed, a full bath, complete kitchen and living room area provide a comfortable home away from home. There is also a laundry room with full sized washer & dryer. This house is perfect for a couple or a couple with a young child. Wake to the sounds of birds chattering & have your morning coffee outside watching the chickens & wild turkeys. WiFi, outdoor grill, beach chairs, coolers & some snorkel equipment are provided. Paauilo is still truly out of the busy city areas and offers a taste of old Hawaii.
We are at about the 2000' level on the slope of Mauna Kea. This is an area of small farms & country roads. You can walk for miles on these back roads. Our daytime temps are generally between 75 & 85 degrees. Though these past couple of years we have begun to experience some days in the 90's. Nighttime temps tend to be in the 60's with some summer nights perhaps edging towards 70. The cooler evenings definitely lend themselves to good sleeping temperatures. (Which we always enjoy after a long day in the sunshine at the beach.) We can get rain but can't really predict when that might be. That's not a problem for us as we like to have things growing around us, but do want you to know it can happen!
Paauilo is a great location to stay if you want to explore the Hamakua coast and anywhere on the northern side of the island. Honokaa and Waipio Valley are very close by. A scenic drive on Hwy 19 will take you to Hilo to the east, or Kamuela, Hawi and a choice of beautiful beaches to the west.
10-15 minutes away is the historic town of Honokaa, with restaurants, shopping, a small grocery store and a beautifully renovated movie theater that offers first run movies and live events. Honokaa has also recently started having a monthly 'First Friday'. The first Friday of every month the stores stay open late & there is live music, lots of great food and various other entertainment. It's a fun, local event that's definitely worth checking out if you're here on a First Friday night.
We also are lucky enough to have on site professional massages available in the cabin - unwind even more after a long day at the beach. This is a cozy house, a wonderful place to welcome you home after a day at the beach or sightseeing. It's a great place to tuck away and simply enjoy the beauty of rural Hawaii.
We have lived on this property for almost 30 years. That is so hard to believe! It is true that time flies when you're having fun. We actually fell into this place kind of by accident, not knowing anything about the island when we moved here. Lucky us as we love living in Paauilo and wouldn't want to live anywhere else. We've raised our children here and about 10 years ago built the cabin. We have been renting it but it has been open for a few months while we had different friends come and stay. We found that it made us so happy to have visitors enjoying Paauilo too that we decided to offer it as a vacation rental. We live on the 3 acres adjacent to the cabin property. Both places have their own private space as we built the cabin on the other side of a small macadamia nut orchard. This orchard needs a lot of work from us as it's aging and growing over, but in the meantime it provides lovely privacy.
We love Paauilo for many reasons. We love that when it's incredibly hot in the summer in Kona we can go home to some cooler air in the evening; that we can spend a morning or an afternoon at some of the most beautiful beaches in the world and that nearby Honokaa provides movies and restaurants when we don't want to cook. We love the outdoor beauty, the sunshine through the trees, the slowness of a walk on a country road - and the commute to work is only 15 minutes and without a single stoplight! Visiting friends tell us they really enjoy that we're between Kona and Hilo so they can go touring in either direction. I think that's a good point. This really is a big island and less driving is always good! People who have stayed in the cabin also tell us that it feels like a retreat from their regular life - quiet and peaceful. It helped them relax. That's how we feel about it too. A great place to come home to. It makes us really happy to have visitors in our cabin enjoying their own getaway in Hawaii.
As for the house, we really hope you'll like it. We keep it very clean and well maintained. With a full kitchen, bath, bedroom and laundry it's a pretty cozy cabin.
Learn more about this vacation rental at the owner's website:
The cabin had everything we could have hoped for. Guide books? Yes (we didn't bring one). Snorkeling equipment? Yes. Beach towels and chairs? Yes. Sunblock, insect repellant, spare sweaters, umbrella, fresh eggs in fridge when we arrived? Yup.
The kitchen was small, but had everything we needed so we cooked breakfast every morning and sat on the front patio with our coffee watching the wild turkeys, pheasants and chickens. We did hear a wild boar in the woods, but didn't follow that up because .... well, wild boar.
If you are looking to head to Hawaii and sit on the beach, this is not be the location for you. It is 40 minutes out of Hilo on the wet side of the island. We loved it, but we covered 60% of the island in our travels and always looked forward to heading back to the quiet cabin in the lush woods.
The only downside is there is a single small heater in the cabin, so if it gets chilly, you'd better like snuggling.
We had a lovely time! The cabin is an adorable little place to stay. I was recovering from surgery so we were pleased There was such a nice selection of movies to watch! It is well furnished and a delight to stay in. The owner was so gracious and welcoming us. Thanks again
I was looking for a peaceful quiet off the beaten path place to stay on my Big Island trip and I found it!
Located on the upcountry Hamakua coast this perfectly appointed cabin was a great place to unwind and relax. Sun rain cool breezes...lush greenery...great walks and convenient for easy day trips on the Big Island. Diane was engaging friendly and so helpful when we spoke on the phone. I hope to come back and enjoy this great cabin again!
We spent two wonderful weeks at this fantastic cabin up the mountain slope in Paauilo. It is less a cabin, more a little cottage, with a nice living room/kitchen area, a well sized bathroom and a nice sized bedroom all under one roof. There are also private laundry facilities out back, and clothes dry quickly on the washing line, if you don't want to use the drier. I was very pleased with the quality of the house, everything was well maintained. It is definitely rural, we were visitied by wild turkeys one day and saw wild pigs from the porch another, but it is a short ten minute drive to Honokaa, which has several restaurants and a large supermarket - everything you might need. One possible issue is that Paaulio is a little remote - however, we found that being situated about half way between Hilo and the Kona coast was very useful - it was less than an hour drive to most places in the island. The volcano was a little far, perhaps.
We loved it, it was as nice as anywhere that I've stayed on the Big Island, and will certainly return when we want to stay in the north of the island. I would love to have a writers retreat here, perfect isolation when you need it, but easy access to supplies when you need them. It makes a great place for a romantic get-away.
My husband and I loved this cabin, we wish we could have stayed longer. It is clean, comfortable, and the surroundings are beautiful. Diane was friendly and gave us great information on fun things to do on the island. We loved " Henrietta " the hungry hen, she gave us so many laughs and great pictures.
My daughter and I spent three days with Diane at this lovely little cottage in the hills. Quiet and peaceful, very clean, charming character. Owners live on adjacent property but this newly constructed small house is just up the hill and out of sight, very private but the owners are right there if you need anything. Diane gave us some great tips on enjoying the area and after a day of drippy weather we had a couple of fantastic days of exploring the north east coast. Would not hesitate to recommend this place to my friends.

Ohio Hall of Fame Shooter Richard Vance
Richard is the National Invitational 28 Gauge Tournament Champion. He was the Small Gauge HOA Champion at the 2016 Ohio Championships, and the National Pump Gun Champion in 2007. Richard was inducted into the Ohio Sporting Clays Hall of Fame in 2010.
Richard's 97 topped the field of 50 shooters on the rainy weekend when hurricane Michael was pushing its way up the Atlantic coast, October 8. Misty rain was the order of the day as the National Invitational played out. Heavier rains settled in for the afternoon FITASC.
Richard is retired, and shoots nearly every weekend. He especially enjoys the "specialty shoots", the small gauge events, sixteen gauge shoots and vintage events. He participates in the NSCA Master Class.
Rick Carr of Okmulgee Oklahoma writes "Before the Oklahoma bow season had even started I had already acquired a photo album of buck pictures with my trailcam, and on the first day of season I climbed into my stand with these pictures in my mind. As the afternoon started to turn gray I noticed two bucks appear and start eating acorns at the far end of the field. After what seemed like hours of waiting and just seconds of daylight left, they finally came into range. I settled my pin in my sights and took the shot. I watched as the Bucks left the same way they had come in, and I felt good about the shot. After I waited about thirty minutes I found the buck crashed about 20 yards inside the tree line.
Reagan Loy (pictured on left below) .....shot her first ten-point buck in Indiana last year at only 9 Years old with her Ithaca shotgun. This year she guided her mom Kaitlynn (pictured on right) toward getting her own first buck too. It may not be as big as Reagans, but Mom has to start somewhere! With Reagans help maybe she'll get a big buck someday too! The photo on the bottom shows Reagan (now age 10) with this years 7 point.

| View Exclusive AAUP Compensation Survey Data |
Midcareer minority faculty members face particular challenges, write Joya Misra and Jennifer Lundquist.
Columbia's core literature course, long criticized for its lack of diversity, adds to the list a novel by Toni Morrison -- the first living author and the first nonwhite author.
Pitzer College's president, Laura Skandera Trombley, announced in December that she would leave office at the end of this month to become president of the Huntington Library. She has won praise from her board and others for setting college records in fund-raising, bolstering environmental programs and attracting more students over a 13-year tenure. But even though she is in her final days in office, the faculty voted no confidence in her this week, after a meeting in which professors away for the summer participated digitally.
Faculty members say that Trombley has disregarded the tradition of shared governance at the college. Specifically, many are upset that she did not reappoint Muriel Poston as dean of the faculty, and that this decision was, they say, made without faculty consultation. Pitzer faculty leaders say that this is a position that college guidelines specifically state shall be evaluated by faculty members and administrators. Faculty also this week passed a resolution calling for a reinstatement of Poston, who did not respond to an email request for comment.
Via email, Trombley said, "I am very happily moving to more scholarly pastures, and the college is steeling itself for what could be an acrimonious search process. While I have stayed far, far away from the search, what I see surfacing is a struggle between who will lead the search and, by implication, the college."
She added: "Due to my outgoing status, the board felt it prudent and responsible in its legal and governing role to determine whether or not the dean of the faculty's contract should be renewed. Based upon the board's careful review, as well as their deep belief in shared governance and careful adherence to the faculty and board bylaws, the board passed a motion that the dean of the faculty's contract should not be renewed. The dean was informed of the board's decision by the board chair. The dean has tenure, and the board offered her a year's paid sabbatical. She was not fired. The board chair sent a written message to the faculty, and some faculty were upset about the board's action. The faculty met, voted no confidence in me on the basis of inadequate 'shared governance' (and let's face it, an easy vote with my immediate departure) and demanded that the dean be reinstated."
Five years ago, I took a long walk in Ireland with my husband, and when we got back, there were reports of several research scandals in which academic reputations were ruined by what appeared to be data falsification or at least substantial sloppiness. I wrote about it -- claiming, as I often do, that enforced data sharing would at least ensure that researchers tidied up their documentation.
A few weeks ago, I took another long walk in Ireland with my husband, and this time the news was filled with Ireland's public referendum legalizing same-sex marriage and another research scandal, this one involving research about the possibility that face-to-face voter canvassing by persons identified as gay can change opinions about the rights of the LGBT community. I guess I need to be more careful about my travel plans, at least when they involve Ireland.
This time I am less sanguine about the idea that simply enforcing data sharing can improve the research process enough that sloppiness and outright fraud will be well policed. The most recent story involves a young Ph.D. student, Michael J. LaCour, who made up facts about the research process -- such as who funded it, how incentives were paid out, whether the embedded experiments were registered with a centralized registry and perhaps even which survey firm conducted the study.
The scandal began, as they often do, when someone wanted to replicate the research, and the researcher did not share all of the data. The student, in fact, despite the very sound advice of his senior co-author, had not deposited all the data with my former employer the Inter-University Consortium for Political and Social Research (ICPSR) so that the full data file could both be found and shared. Once thwarted and confused, of course, the research team that wanted to replicate his research started pulling at the loose thread and unraveled a whole skein of lies and exaggerations. I bet Michael LaCour now profoundly wishes he had paid closer and more careful heed to the advice of his mentor -- because ICPSR, in fact, could have coaxed him into the truth simply by the act of scrutiny and documentation; instead he chose a self-archiving method that allowed him to upload what he wished.
The story of LaCour should bolster my cherished premise that full data sharing will reduce the amount of malfeasance, right? Is it possible to still be naïve in your early 50s? I am afraid so. After another five years of being head down and hip deep in data collection and file preparation, I am willing to admit that either encouraging or forcing data sharing among researchers just is not enough. These scandals result from deeper problems with our training and review of the research process. The scandals almost always erupt when someone starts to question the data used to answer a substantive question -- and then the answer to the substantive question is viewed with suspicion. The inability to replicate, or even get close, opens the door to all types of scrutiny. Mishandling data or data collection is like Al Capone not paying his taxes -- it provides an entrée for our academic Eliot Ness to bring home the investigation.
My claims about the inadequacy of research training and the peer-review process will likely raise howls of protest -- what about all of the graduate-level methods courses, the Institutional Review Board (IRB) and the peer-review process required for grants and publications? Yes, all of these checks and balances, in principle, ensure ethical, high-quality research. But they do not, in fact, in any of the disciplines I am familiar with. Graduate-level methods classes in the social sciences -- and I have taught more than a few -- carry a heavy burden requiring both an omnibus survey of data collection methods, research ethics and often a smattering of statistical methods. The section on research ethics usually only focuses on how to deal with human subjects, not on how to handle the data we collect from them. Even a two-course sequence will never get you much beyond what I always think of as the research equivalent of "happily ever after" data collection. No one tells you how to stay married to your Prince Charming nor how to adequately and ethically prepare data files for sharing.
What of the IRB and peer review -- don't they represent the bulwark against sloppiness and malfeasance? Not really -- as both do not have the explicit purpose of policing the research process generally. The purpose of the IRB is, in fact, the protection of human subjects -- that is, ensuring that all data collection is ethical. This may or may not ensure that the data collection is well documented, accurate and scrupulously transparent, as the protection of human subjects requires looking carefully at informed consent, for instance, but not necessarily data documentation.
Unfortunately, peer review is even more narrowly focused, except when a reviewer pulls hard at a methodological thread. Journal articles and grant applications never allow for the careful description of the methods and procedures because of substantial space constraints. In the past, co-authors and fellow review panel members have rightly scolded me for my overweening and tedious attention to the details of the research process. Peer review focuses primarily on substance and research quality because it must -- we are meant to trust that our colleagues are well trained, careful, transparent and accurate, without a lot of detail about how they execute these traits. I am not entirely sure that trust is warranted -- thus, peer review also fails to ensure that the research process is as it should be.
On our walk in Ireland, my husband and I climbed Croagh Patrick, the mountain on top of which St. Patrick spent 40 days fasting in 441 AD. It is a religious pilgrimage for many Irish Catholics -- for us, it was the challenge of going straight uphill on loose slate for two hours. Croagh Patrick is famous for its miserable weather, and our walk was no exception -- 50-mile-an-hour winds, driving rain and dense fog. As my husband is fond of saying, St. Patrick's religious visions on the top of the mountain can likely be attributed to hypothermia and the fact that he could not find his way down.
As I crawled my way up the mountain of loose, wet stone, in addition to cursing my husband, who is descended from a long line of spirited Irish men and women, I thought about the value of careful and thorough preparation. My husband, ever the Eagle Scout, always ensures that we are thoroughly prepared and carefully equipped for every eventuality -- thus, I only got soaked to the skin in the last 20 minutes instead of the first two hours, and we made it both up and down the mountain despite being the far side of 50 years old. It strikes me that the research process is indeed like climbing Croagh Patrick -- preparation and careful attention to detail are an absolute must. The research community must find better ways to nurture and encourage these skills rather than spend time picking over the bones of those who have fallen off the trail.
Felicia B. LeClere is a senior fellow with NORC at the University of Chicago, where she works as research coordinator on multiple projects. She has 20 years of experience in survey design and practice, with particular interest in data dissemination and the support of scientific research through the development of scientific infrastructure.
Only satire can look certain horrible realities in the eye, as The Onion did with its article from last year about a lone-wolf mass shooting of random strangers. Its headline cut to the quick: "'No Way To Prevent This,' Says Only Nation Where This Regularly Happens."
It's the real American exceptionalism. Rampage shootings do take place in other countries (the 1996 Dunblane school massacre in Scotland, for example), but rarely. They remain distinct events in the public memory, rather than blurring together. In the United States the trauma is repetitive and frequent; only the location and the number of victims seem to change.
With Charleston we have the additional grotesquerie of a presidential candidate calling Dylann Roof's extremely deliberate act an "accident" while the director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation made a point of denying that it was terrorism. (The shooter was an avowed white supremacist who attacked an African-American church and took care to leave one survivor to tell the tale. By no amount of semantic weaselry can it be described as anything but "[an] act of violence done or threaten[ed] to in order to try to influence a public body or citizenry," to quote the director's own definition of terrorism.) But American rampage shootings do not always express an ideological agenda, or even a motive intelligible to anyone but the gunman. The meaninglessness of the violence, combined with its regularity, is numbing. So with time our scars grow callused, at least until the next spree rips them open again.
A few years ago Christopher Phelps, an intellectual historian who happens to be my closest friend, moved with his family to England, where he is now a senior lecturer (i.e., an associate professor) in American and Canadian studies at the University of Nottingham. At some point the British media began turning to him for commentary on life in these United States. "I tend to be asked on radio shows when there's a need for American expertise -- and implicitly an American accent, which adds an air of authenticity," he wrote in an email when I asked him about it.
Among the topics he's been asked about are "the re-election of Obama, the anniversary of JFK's death, and even what comprises the East Wing of the White House, since one only ever hears about the West Wing." Of late, America's everyday mayhem keeps coming up. In 2013 he discussed the Trayvon Martin case. Last August, it was the girl whose training in automatic weapons on an Arizona firing range ended when she lost control and sprayed her instructor with bullets. Phelps appeared on a nationally broadcast talk show hosted by Nick Ferrari, which seems like the perfect name for a bigger-than-life radio personality.
Ferrari wasted no time: "What is it with Americans and guns?" he asked. A fair question, though exceedingly blunt.
"I should have anticipated that, I suppose," Phelps says now, "but I froze like the proverbial deer in the headlights, stuttering away." Since then, unfortunately, he has gained experience in answering variations of the question. "The producers need people to do it," he explains, "the university media team work hard to set up the gigs, and you feel as an American you should step in a bit to help modulate the conversation, but it sweeps away my life for a day or two when I have other plans and some psychopath shoots up America." (The BBC program for which he was interviewed following the Charleston shootings can be found here.)
"It is still depressing," Phelps continues, "in fact draining, to be put in the position of explaining my people through this kind of event, but reflection has prompted some better ways of answering."
A one-sentence question about the American pattern of free-range violence takes many more to address at all concretely. Phelps's assessment bears quoting at length:
"While I'm as drawn to generalities as anyone -- I've always thought there was something to H. Rap Brown's declaration that 'violence is as American as cherry pie' -- it's important to realize that most American households do not possess guns, only a third do. So gun owners do not comprise all Americans but a particular demographic, one more white, male and conservative than the general population.
"The shooters in mass killings, likewise, tend to be white men. So we need to explain this sociologically. My shorthand is that white men have lost a supreme status of power and privilege, given a post-'60s culture claiming gender and racial equality as ideals, yet are still socialized in ways that encourage aggressiveness.
"Of course, that mix wouldn't be so dangerous if it weren't easy to amass an arsenal of submachine guns, in effect, to mow people down. Why do restrictions that polls say Americans consider reasonable always get blocked politically, if gun-owning households are a minority? For one thing, the gun manufacturing corporations subsidize a powerful lobby that doubles as a populist association of gun owners. That, combined with a fragmented federalist system of government, a strongly individualist culture and the centrality of a Constitution that seems to inscribe 'the right to bear arms' as a sacred right, makes reform very difficult in the United States compared to similarly positioned societies. This suggests the problem is less cultural than political."
Following the massacre of 26 people, most of them children, at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Connecticut in 2012, National Rifle Association executive vice president Wayne LaPierre waited several days before issuing a statement. Whether he meant to let decent interval pass or just needed time to work up the nerve, his response was to blame our culture of violence on… our culture of violence.
He condemned the American entertainment industry for its constant output of "an ever more toxic mix of reckless behavior and criminal cruelty" in the form of video games, slasher movies and so forth. The American child is exposed to "16,000 murders and 200,000 acts of violence by the time he or she reaches the ripe old age of 18" -- encouraging, if not spontaneously generating, LaPierre said, a veritable army of criminals and insane people, just waiting for unarmed victims to cross their paths. "The only way to stop a monster from killing our kids," he said, "is to be personally involved and invested in a plan of absolute protection."
The speech was a marvel of chutzpah and incoherence. But to give him credit, LaPierre's call for "a plan of absolute protection" had a sort of deluded brilliance to it -- revealing a strain of magical thinking worthy of… well, when you get right down to it, a violent video game. Despite living in a society full of people presumably eager to act out their favorite scenes in Natural Born Killers and American Psycho, having enough firepower will give you "absolute protection."
On many points, Firmin DeBrabander's book Do Guns Make Us Free? Democracy and the Armed Society (Yale University Press) converges with the analysis quoted earlier from my discussion with Christopher Phelps. But DeBrabander, an associate professor of philosophy at Maryland Institute College of Art, places special emphasis on the corrupting effect of treating the Second Amendment as the basis for "absolute protection" of civil liberties.
The vision of democracy as something that grows out of the barrel of a gun (or better yet, a stockpile of guns, backed up with a ready supply of armor-piercing bullets) involves an incredibly impoverished understanding of freedom. And it is fed by a paranoid susceptibility to "unmanageable levels of fear," DeBrabander writes, and "irrationalities that ripple through society."
He turns to the ancient Stoic philosophers for a more robust and mature understanding of freedom. It is, he writes, "a state of mental resolve, not armed resolve. Coexisting with pervasive threats, Seneca would say, is the human condition. The person who lives with no proximate dangers is the exception. And it's no sign of freedom to live always at the ready, worried and trigger-happy, against potential threats; this is the opposite of freedom." It is, on the contrary, "a form of servitude," and can only encourage tyranny by demagogues.
"Freedom," DeBrabander goes on to say, "resides in the ability to live and thrive in spite of the dangers that attend our necessarily tenuous social and political existence -- dangers that are less fearsome and debilitating to the extent that we understand and acknowledge them." It is only one of many good points the author makes. (See also his recent essay "Campus Carry vs. Faculty Rights" for Inside Higher Ed.) And the certainty that another mass shooting will take place somewhere in the United States before much longer means we need all the stoicism we can get.
Among the theories about why women are less likely than men to pursue mathematics and science degrees is that women underestimate their capabilities in mathematics. A new study, led by Shane Bench of Washington State University and appearing in the journal Sex Roles, offers a twist on that theory. Male and female undergraduates were given a mathematics test and asked to estimate how well they did. The women were fairly accurate in their predictions. But the men generally predicted better performance than they achieved. So the gender gap in mathematics and science enrollments may be based on male overconfidence, the authors suggest, not just on female lack of confidence.
Melissa Dennihy discusses how to prepare for an interview for a faculty job.
Non-tenure track professors at Arizona State, after months of protesting a plan they called unfair to them and their students, receive more money and the option to avoid a 5-5 course load.
In an era when the humanities are overlooked or derided by politicians, one Ohio community college landed a $10 million grant to boost the liberal arts.

Mind you that is the exact copy of the article...I thought AHS didn't have
anything to do with the Hosta library. From the sounds of that article ..it
sounds as they do have a connection. Maybe somebody should talk to the
Tennessee Hosta Society Sport editor.
Just a thought...
I will gladly do that! The gentleman who is the editor of the Middle
Tennessee newsletter is not a member of any Email robin so he would have
gotten his information second hand. I will send out a note to him this
Dan, I'm on it! Don't worry!
The Hosta Library has no official affiliation with the AHS. We have gotten
permission to post some information from the AHS Hosta Journal at the
Library, like the Glossary of terms, etc. but the site is independent of the
AHS organization.
