Getting slower.
Owl # 3 (ColoradoKat)
This one hadn't left the tree, right outside my window,
to start the drying process. Sure looked miserable!
A Second Soggy Owl (ColoradoKat)
I happened to catch movement out of the corner of my eye
while I was watching the first owl's drying rituals and saw this one in a tree, going through the same routine.
Check out that wingspan..a baby no more!
Soggy Owl (ColoradoKat)
I was getting ready to go to Evergreen for lunch when
I heard thunder, but only saw blue sky & white clouds out my West window. It was right overheard..gray and it meant it..sideways slanting rain, thunder, lightning, wind,
hail and then, as it let up...owls! They began popping out
of trees in the back yard. I saw three of them. Haven't seen any in weeks. What a (soggy) treat!
Portland Head Light in the fog (Hamptonite)
Free Bird (GardenGrrl)
Light Show! (mcgino)
This was the most amazing display of lightning I've ever seen, it lasted more than an hour before it finally moved on.
rural masterpiece from God above (PlanetPest)
another shot of Tuesday morning's western rainbow, this one was in its earlier stages, shot over our barn around sunrise
Side Vision (Railheel)
Was able to get the wife out and into the visit for a drive yesterday, and she wanted to see the ducks I had been seeing. We found them beside a golf course eating grass. She loved them.
Hazy Afternoon (kristinarinell)
went down to Fogarty cCreek for a while this afternoon...sunny but very hazy
Microburst (docshovel39)
West Texas has been blessed with beneficial rainfall over the last couple of days . This microburst occured close to home .
Moon And Lace Curtains (tomekandjola)
Sun Spots (ColoradoKat)
We were at Steamboat Lake when the sun broke through
the clouds and lit up parts of this mountainside. I
had been about to take a different picture, but swung
my camera around to catch this instead! Glad I did!
Good Thing I Had Sunglasses! (ColoradoKat)
I took off my sunglasses to line up this shot and it
was SO bright, I almost thought about holding them over
the lens when I took the shot, but the camera seems to
be more adaptable to the light than my eyes are! I just
couldn't get enough of the Fall colors!
Gorgeous Weather At The Bottom (ColoradoKat)
I came off Berthoud Pass to a really mild, sunny afternoon. This is near Empire. This pretty viw made me wish I had packed a lunch. I may have stayed here a
while. It's close enough to Empire that I will use that as the location.
Ice Fog Morning (katy99780)
Frost gilded trees, and the mountains rising from the ice fog as it dissipates in the morning sun. When the open waters of the Tanana River close up with ice, we won't get this kind of fog anymore.
Heat for a Cold Night (SunsetSailor)
Who Needs Leaves For Color? (ColoradoKat)
I was missing all the colors of the Fall foliage when I
realized there is a lot of color in the various rocks
and dry plants and shrubs. Color is where you look for it, I guess. The snow-capped mountain peeking through
adds a different kind of color, too.
Favorite View (ColoradoKat)
I always, always have to stop and look at this view,
looking over the little, now empty, campground, and
over to the big mountains. This view is nice in any season, but I love it with the snow on the high peaks.
Night scene (polymorph)
I woke up around 1am and saw that it had cleared. I set my camera out and made a timelapse. This is from the beginning:
a day with WU friends (got2dogs)
Mt Shasta .....on my way over to Mt Shasta to meet-up with Lori (svlover) Lisa (feather) and Marianne (angel56)
Goat Lake (BuckeyeHusky)
A beautiful Pacific Northwest day, so why not spend it hiking a beautiful place?!?
The ninth day of the Danube River flooding: 3. (Danube)
2013/06/09 06:04 CEST. The Gellért tér ('Gellert Sguare') ship station now
Friday13TH.. (suzi46)
and a lucky day for frosty photo ops..temps in the low teens and lots of new ice..
Tuesday Night Delight (Nikongranny)
Purple and Pink Take Over (ColoradoKat)
I left the back of the store, thinking I had gotten
quite enough shots, but I had to pull over again almost
immediately, as the sky had changed again and it was
strawberry pink and purple. I liked this almost better than the electric gold from before. It was one amazing sunset!
Fog and Northern Lights (Odd)
Flight (mcgino)
Could this be the same crow I saw a couple of days ago? Once spring comes there will be dozens of crows flying to the eastern fields in the morning and flying home to the mountains in the west at sundown.
Alpine Winter Wonderland (PugetSoundPost)
On the flanks of Mt. Rainier, above Paradise (over 5,000 feet), winter has created a wonderful land of powdery pristine snow and charmingly bedecked alpine trees. Winter life is tough here but this bit of morning sun made it all so inviting to explore and enjoy.
Mt Adams (weathertl)
A fresh blanket of snow covers the Washington Cascades. Photo taken from the summit of Sleeping Beauty with Mt. Adams towing in the background.
Mush! (katy99780)
You just never know what you're going to encounter on the byways of Tok Alaska.
Really hoping my presence wouldn't disturb the training of these dogs, I snapped away while the musher shouted 'straight on! straight on!' to his dogs.

INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — A bill that would stiffen penalties for those caught smuggling cell phones into Indiana prisons is one step closer to becoming law. It follows an I-Team 8 investigation that showed inmates reaching out from behind bars to commit new crimes using cell phones.
Rep. Tom Dermody (R-LaPorte) introduced House Bill 1256 last month, which would require a court to impose a fine of at least $500 but not more than $10,000 on anyone convicted of trafficking a cell phone or other wireless communications device to an inmate. That fine would be in addition to a "class C felony" prison sentence of up to 8 years.
In addition, anyone who knowingly or intentionally possesses a cell phone while incarcerated could be charged with a "class A misdemeanor," which could get an inmate an additional year behind bars. Currently, inmates generally are only sanctioned to a loss of "good behavior time" when caught with contraband.
The measure passed the Indiana House by a 98-0 vote Tuesday and now moves to the Senate.
Dermody is pushing for another solution as well that would blocking cell phone signals altogether in prisons by using jamming devices. The FCC has rejected plans for prisons across the country to use such devices, saying they violate the Communications Act of 1934.
A Congressional panel is set to debate a bill that would relax those restrictions later this month.

Pickpocket-Proof Shorts
Great Men's Shorts
My husband NEVER wants me to do any shopping for him - he's a 'fashion illiterate' - but after showing him these shorts and after studying them and doing research on the web for them, he decided to let me go ahead and order them. When they arrived, he examined them closely, looking for reasons to return them. They were even long enough for him - a 10" rise (he's tall). After a while, he declared them 'okay'. What a laugh! They look fantastic, they fit perfectly, they have a great system of pockets and protection from pick-pockets - everything about these shorts are wonderful - even great! He loves them now and I told him we should order another pair of the same thing in the alternate color. But NOOOO - he wanted to try these out for a long time, see how they wash up, see how they look. So, when we find out that they truly are wonderful on ALL fronts, the other color will probably not be available. Or his size not available. Or something. Did I mention he's an engineer? Maybe I'll go ahead and order them now and just hang onto them for a few months and then slip them into his drawer. Yes????

Seriously high quality
While not the lightest-weight shorts I own, this is the only pair I'll be taking on my upcoming vacation to Italy. I'm totally impressed with P^3 (the company that makes these). I opened the package and inspected the shorts. The finishing is just right. No loose stitches all over the place. For me, that right away speaks of quality we don't usually find these days. (Although I do most often find top quality at TRAVELSMITH.) Anyhow, the shorts washed great with few wrinkles following the directions. They are a "snug true fit". I'm on a slow diet and was tempted to buy the next size down. Don't.
But DO BUY THESE SHORTS. And right now, they're on sale; I'm buying another pair and their matching pants!

We already have two pairs of the long pick pocket paints. We have traveled to three countries with them. In two countries they tried to get into them the zipper was up a inch but they couldn't get into them. My husband needed a pair of shorts for our next trip. This is the most secure paints out there. We also use the shirts with the zipper in the breast pocket area. He keeps his passport up there for security.

Great Concept - Needs More Quality In Manufacture
One of the expansion snaps came right off the first time I went to unsnap it (to expand the pocket). I like the "P-cubed" concept, and feel a bit more confident with the add'l security I think the design offers, but can't recommend something that begins to fall apart before even the first wearing!

Off-duty Chicago cop wounded in shooting on far South Side
SUN-TIMES MEDIA WIRE June 15, 2012 6:22AM
Updated: June 15, 2012 12:23PM
An off-duty Chicago police officer suffered minor injuries when he was shot in both legs as he sat on a backyard porch early Friday on the far South Side. The 38-year-old officer — a 10-year veteran, of the department who was with another off-duty officer — heard gunshots and felt pain in his legs. He was taken to Advocate Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn, where he was treated and released. The police said it happened around 1:30 a.m. in the 9700 block of South Genoa Avenue. No one is in custody. It wasn't clear whether the gunfire was meant for the officers, the police said.

Thank you
February 21, 2012
I was searching and searching for this North Face jacket and I found it here! This was the ONLY place I could find it and I looked everywhere and I mean everywhere. I was so happy to find and finally receive this jacket, I am still thrilled every time I put it on! Thank you! The prices are great, the service is great and I will come back to Altrec again and again!
Pros: Lasts forever, PerformanceLoved Jacket, Hated Color
August 29, 2012
This coat is great and looked really attractive on. It has a lot of really nice features. But I returned it, because when I ordered it, the color was called a gray, when I got it, the jacket is ivory. Not even remotely gray. I did not want an ivory coat that would have to be washed every time I wore it. I loved it and hated to send it back. Will try to wait and get a black or gray one on sale. It's a super coat but not worth paying full price for in my opinion but if you can get it on sale go for it.
Classy Rain Jacket
November 03, 2012
I've been looking for a rain jacket that I could wear when it's raining and I have nicer clothes on or going out for the evening ! This jacket hits at the knee and has an adorable waist belt that you can tie to make a cute fitted look! It's an off white color, (creamish) so you can wear it with blacks or browns. Great arm length, and a hood if you need it! I'm so happy with this jacket and it serves two purposes....not getting wet and looking cute in the rain! I would highly recommend it to anyone!
Pros: Great design, Build quality, Ease of useGreat Raincoat for any Occasion
May 23, 2013
I am loving this raincoat so far! It is great in the rain, long enough to protect my pants from getting soaked, and the hood is actually functional! The fit is very flattering (somewhat of a slim fit) and I feel comfortable wearing this to work or with jeans. There is still room for light layers and the lining gives some protection from the cold. The only thing that I would have preferred is the updated pockets on the spring 2013 version, but was not enough of a problem to need to return this one.
Let it RAIN!!!
July 28, 2013
Searched and searched and searched for a stylish, waterproof trench and finally found my way to The North Face Stella Grace Trench. Heading to college in a few weeks and in Tennessee it rains - A LOT! Perfect length to keep me dry walking to classes. LOVE the detachable hood and beautiful styling. Not lined so perfect for summer showers. Bought a size larger so I can add my own layer of warmth underneath.
Pros: Great design, Build quality, Lasts foreverDisappointing
May 11, 2013
The coat fit a bit snug, but the deal breaker is the hood doesnt cover your head properly. It needs a rim on it and it doesnt have it. Bad job on the design NorthFace. The zipper also snags alot and is too long for the coat to be used comfortably. Its going back.
Cons: Bad designNorth Face Stella Grace Jacket
March 04, 2011
March 4, 2011 The Stella Grace jacket is perfect for transitional weather and is simple and elegant with great features. I live in Chicago and will start wearing mine now. I am 5'3" and 110lbs. I ordered the small in black. The size fits me perfectly and gives me room for a light sweater if needed. This jacket has a lot of class, is very sharp looking and comfortable - form fitted, not boxy and the length is perfect. The zip pockets are roomy and the detachable hood is a good size for those rain days. I also like the belt to define the waistline. The zipper on the cuff is a nice detail. This jacket keeps me dry without giving up style - can go from day to evening. The front zipper can be worn zipped all the way up or can be left open at the neck. After endless shopping for the perfect jacket, the Stella Grace really makes a statement with all the features I wanted. Very happy with this jacket. I also recommend the Transit and Metropolis down coats from The North Face. I own each in both black and vintage white, size small. They get me through the winter's in Chicago. Don't be afraid of the vintage white - it is beautiful and they are all machine washable. The collars keep my neck warm when zipped all the way up. They are very lightweight, and comfortable with roomy zip pockets and detachable hoods. These coats are also form fitted to keep you toasty warm and dry without the bulk. The sleeves narrow at the wrist to keep the cold out. Comfortable while driving and you can get in and out of the car with ease. Love, love these coats. Thank you North Face for making stylish, durable jackets that can be worn year after year without looking outdated. Ordering from Altrec is always a good experience with quick delivery and reliability. There is always a good variety of color choices and sizes available. I also like the idea that I can track my puchases.

March 04, 2013
The moment my arm slipped into its sleeve, anxiety dissolved. Dank, bone-chilling shivers became ghosts of past storm-spattered days. The jacket makes me feel part cosmopolitan mad-scientist, part space-age private-eye, and arrived a day earlier than the predicted delivery day!
Pros: Great design, Build quality, Ease of use, Great value, cost, speedy deliveryA Flattering & Functional Rain Coat!
November 08, 2010
This jacket has been a great investment. I'd been searching for a functional, hooded rain jacket that will keep me dry all day at the fields while my kids play sports, but I didn't want a big shapeless yellow slicker. The fitted silhouette and belted waist make the Stella Grace Jacket more flattering than most rain coats. Because it's long, fitted and black, it looks great with jeans or with the clothes I wear to work. It's not insulated, so it's not warm, but it's more versatile that way because you can wear appropriate layers underneath to adjust for the outside temperature. I live in the Northeast and it's been raining several times a week since this jacket arrived, so it's already gotten plenty of use. Another bonus: it's $100 less than a similar Patagonia rain jacket I was considering.
Perfect rain jacket!
April 26, 2012
I have been looking for a rain jacket that I can wear both to work at outdoors. This is it! I shopped around and initially was going to purchase the Columbia Dusk2Dawn jacket but decided against it after I read the reviews for this jacket! I'm glad I got this! Since I received the jacket, it has been raining (the whole week - everyday), which allowed me to test the jacket. I live in Melbourne Australia and we have been having 13-15 °C temperatures over the last week. I have been using the jacket to bring the dog for walks and we got caught in the rain a couple of times. I was DRY! The only downside of the jacket is that I do not feel it provides a lot of wind protection and is not very breathable, but I dont mind as I can layer. I have another TNF jacket that I wear a S but I got this in a M after I read the reviews. It's perfect, which allows me to layer if I need to! I would definitely recommend this to anyone who needs a rain jacket.
Pros: Ease of use, Great design, Build quality, Performanceworthwhile purchase
September 18, 2013
I am a petite female (5'1'', 110 lbs) and I decided to get the small so could layer this jacket with other wrm ones underneath. This jacket at the small size is perfect for that.. Great purchase, very pleased. also, the coat is adorable!
Pros: Great designVery happy with my purchase!
March 30, 2011
This jacket was a great buy - totally functional but still fashionable. I have been able to wear it over suits for work as well as to a soccer game where our seats were in the rain. I usually wear small/medium sizes and I purchased the medium in this jacket. I am glad I did b/c the sleeves are on the slender side and the medium leaves room for a sweater or jacket underneath. The zipper was a little hard to operate the first few times I wore it, but it seems to have loosened up over time. While the jacket was a little pricey, I am very happy with it and highly recommend it.
April 18, 2011
This is an attractive coat with feminine styling. Great raincoat for casual to fairly dressed up look. Not heavy although you would need to add layer underneath in cold weather.

Internet or sex, which would you choose?
Just how reliant are you on the Internet?
Nearly half of the women questioned by Harris Interactive said they'd be willing to forgo sex for two weeks, rather than give up their Internet access, according to a study released Monday by Intel, which commissioned the survey.
While 46 percent of the women surveyed were willing to engage in abstinence verses losing their Internet, only 30 percent of the men surveyed were willing to do likewise.
The U.S. survey, which queried 2,119 adults last month, found that the gap grew even wider for both men and woman who … Read more

Russian Federation President Vladimir V. Putin will meet with President Bush at Camp David at the end of this week. According to the White House press release, "The President looks forward to this meeting as another opportunity for the United States and Russia to deepen their cooperation to deal with the shared challenges of the 21st century."
Understanding is the basis of effective cooperation. So, this is a good occasion to ask: How do the strategic purposes of the Russian Federation differ from the strategic purposes of the old USSR? The name has changed, but you'll find it in the same place on your world map. The rulers, too, are essentially the same, though they go under a new acronym. In the Soviet days, they used to call themselves the KGB; today the FSB (Federal Security Service) wields much the same power and is run mostly by the same people.
In connection with our current Middle East preoccupations, Ion Mihai Pacepa, former chief of Romanian intelligence, recalls in Monday's Wall Street Journal that Yasser Arafat is a "career terrorist, trained, armed, and bankrolled by the Soviet Union and its satellites for decades." He was "an Egyptian bourgeois" whose identity was changed by the KGB, who "trained him at its Balashikha special-ops school east of Moscow [and groomed] him as the future PLO leader." Did the KGB disown him when it became the FSB? Is the strategic pawn of the Soviet Union now a stranger to the Russian Federation?
In the same connection, in recent testimony to the International Relations Subcommittee on the Middle East and Central Asia, John R. Bolton, under secretary of state for arms control, expressed serious concern about Syria's continuing hostile actions. According to Bolton's testimony, Syria "is continuing to develop an offensive biological weapons capability," and Russia and Syria "have approved a draft program on cooperation on civil nuclear power," that could be applied to a weapons program.
In the Fall 2003 issue of the Claremont Review of Books, Harold Rood discusses the "wider strategic overtones" of the war in Iraq. "Iraq," he reminds us, "was a client state of the Soviet Union...for decades. In that respect it joined that Soviet club in North Africa and the Middle East, which comprised Algeria, Libya, Syria and the two Yemens before they were united."
Has the Russian Federation abandoned or simply forgotten about the strategic interests of the Soviet Union? Well, "[i]n April, while the second war for Iraq was underway, elements of the Russian Fleet from the Black Sea and the Pacific began deployment from Sebastapol and Vladivostok to join together off the Yemeni island of Socotra in the Gulf of Aden whence they were to proceed together to join in exercises with the Indian Navy." Just getting together, perhaps, to swap a little vodka and curry.
Rood argues that the Iraq war must be seen in the perspective of grand strategy. This is a perspective that extends beyond even the mysterious horizons of the present war on terrorism, a perspective that democratic peoples, and Americans in particular, find especially difficult to adopt and sustain.

2 Waterbury teens charged with stealing car for disabled in borough
NAUGATUCK -- Two Waterbury teens were arrested Wednesday afternoon after police said they stole a car belonging to ICES, a borough-based organization serving people with cognitive disorders.
Tyquai Young, 18, of 1 Crystal Terrace, and a 16-year-old boy whose name was not released, were charged with participating in the theft, which occurred at about 12:30 p.m., police said. They and two others took the Ford Focus, marked "carrying school children," from the parking lot of Cumberland Farms on North Main Street, where an employee had taken it to be refueled, police said.

Stretching some 9,289 kilometers (5,771 miles) from Moscow to Vladivostok, the Trans-Siberian railroad, built between 1890 and 1916 under Tsars Alexander III and Nicholas II, holds the record as the longest daily-serviced railway in the world. Besides the terminal destinations, there are over a dozen major cities, each with attractions and other characteristics that make them special. It takes over a week of non-stop train tour to go from end to end as you cross seven time zones, nearly a third the way around the planet!
For travelers planning their Trans-Siberian railway tours without professional assistance, it is easy to purchase Trans-Siberian railway tickets for any leg of this great adventure on our website. We strongly recommend pre-planning travel as much as possible. For any traveler to get the most from their Trans-Siberian railway tours, they'll want to plan well in advance (and where paper tickets are required, delivery limitations make pre-planning unavoidable).
Browse our best Package Deals |
Of course, our travel specialists are eager to help travelers with any useful advice that they might need to plan perfect Trans-Siberian railway tours. We can also provide many great options for excursions in the most interesting of Eurasian cities along the route, and assist with travel along the so-called "second Trans-Siberian railroad," the Baikal-Amur Mainline (BAM) railway, as well as the Amur-Yakutsk Mainline (AYaM) when Russian Railways finally opens passenger service beyond Tommot.
However, what we are really known for are our package Trans-Siberian railroad tours that include knowledgeable guides at all the most amazing stops, the most comfortable hotel stays, Russian visa support, Trans-Siberian railway tickets, and more of what travelers are looking for along the Trans-Siberian railway. We keep close watch of tourism developments in Siberia to provide you with options that are on the forefront of train travel holidays. As a result of such painstaking research, we can provide you with unsurpassed and unforgettable experiences that will be the envy of your friends and family.

I have found that if you publish to single-sheet .pdf's and then combine the .pdf's into one file using Acrobat, each sheet is bookmarked using the name of the individual files for the bookmark names. However, if you publish to a multi-sheet .pdf, no bookmarks are created. Is there any way to create multi-sheet .pdf's in AutoCad and have bookmarks automatically inserted (hopefully using the name of the layout as the bookmark name)?
I thought I'd bump this thread up since this would be a nice feature to have. It's not that hard to use Acrobat to create the bookmarks after the PDF is published, but would be nice to have them generated automatically.

Outasight is the alias of Richard Andrew, a rapper and singer who hails from Yonkers, New York and combines rap, R&B, and rock with occasional crossover appeal. He promoted himself via a series of gigs -- small-scale gigs as well as festival appearances -- along with mixtapes, beginning with 2007's Employee of the Year. 2009's Further was first issued as a 14-track mixtape, then knocked down to a six-track EP for wider circulation through the Warner-distributed Asylum. After a couple more mixtapes, Outasight made his official major-label debut with the 2011 single "Tonight Is the Night" -- a disco-funk party anthem with a pop sheen -- as the prelude to a proper album planned for 2012. ~ Andy Kellman

Finally, it is time for games that count.
The draft, the organized team activities, minicamps, training camp and preseason games are behind us.
It is time for the Broncos to embark on the 2012 season. All the speculation and anticipation now turn into the reality of what transpires over the next 16 games, and perhaps more.
Broncos fans should be giddy with excitement. Week 1 is here. That means the Pittsburgh Steelers will be at Sports Authority Field at Mile High on Sunday night. Forget about dipping the big toe into the pool to check out the water. The Broncos get to jump right into the season.
And what a year it should be.
Regardless of whom any team drafts, signs in free agency or trades for, I have to remind myself at the beginning of every season to expect the unexpected.
The Broncos are coming off a playoff appearance in 2011. As I look at their roster, I cannot help but think how much better they are. I see improvement in every position group. I see a rock solid coaching staff that puts a premium on preparation, attention to detail and discipline.
None of that guarantees any more wins than last year, but it definitely puts the Broncos in position to have a better record and go further than they did a season ago.
As I look at the Broncos schedule, it looks difficult, especially early. But that assessment is based on either how their opponents were last year or how good (or not-so-good) those opponents have traditionally been, at least in the recent past.
Broncos head coach John Fox knows better.
"You win those things (NFL games) between the lines and each year you've got a different personality as a football team," Fox said on Monday. "We're definitely different than we were a year ago but they all present the same challenges. It's who plays best on that given day and it won't be any different than any season."
I don't pretend to know how many games the Broncos will win this season. If they stay healthy and play well, I think it could be a special year.
I know this, I'm looking forward to a fun year. It has been a long time since I've been this excited about a Broncos season.
It's time to buckle up and see where this ride takes us.
How do you think the Broncos' season will go? Thanks for reading and sharing your thoughts.

Alaska Natives
Iñupiaq man |
Total population | |

Regions with significant populations | |
Alaska | |
Languages | |
American English, Russian (historically), Haida, Tsimshianic languages, Eskimo–Aleut languages, Chinook Jargon, Na-Dené languages, others | |
Religion | |
Shamanism (largely ex), Christianity (especially Russian Orthodoxy) |
Alaska Natives are indigenous peoples of Alaska, United States: Iñupiat, Yupik, Aleut, Eyak, Tlingit, Haida, Tsimshian, and a number of Northern Athabaskan cultures. They are often defined by their language groups. Alaskan Natives are enrolled in federally recognized Alaska Native tribal entities, who in turn belong to 13 Alaska Native Regional Corporations, who administer land and financial claims.
Ancestors of the Alaska Natives are known to have migrated into the area thousands of years ago, in at least two different waves. Some are descendants of a third wave of immigration in which people settled across the northern part of North America. They never migrated to southern areas. For this reason, genetic studies show they are not closely related to Native Americans in South America. Throughout the Arctic and northern areas, they established varying indigenous, complex cultures that have succeeded each other over time.
They developed sophisticated ways to deal with the challenging climate and environment, and cultures rooted in the place. Historic groups have been defined by their languages, which belong to several major language families.
Arriving from Siberia by ship in the mid-eighteenth century, Russians began to trade with Alaska Natives, especially when they learned the quality of their furs. New settlements around trading posts were started by Russians, including Russian Orthodox missionaries. British and American traders generally did not reach the area until the nineteenth century, and in some cases missionaries were not active until the twentieth century. This history is evident in the high number of congregations today of Russian Orthodox among Christians in Alaska, with most of their members being Alaska Natives.
ANSCA and since (1971 to present)[edit]
In 1971 the United States Congress passed the Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act (ANSCA), which settled land and financial claims for lands and resources which they had lost to European Americans. It provided for the establishment of 13 Alaska Native Regional Corporations to administer those claims. Similar to the separately defined status of the Canadian Inuit and First Nations in Canada, which are recognized as distinct peoples, in the United States, Alaska Natives are in some respects treated separately by the government from other Native Americans in the United States. This is in part related to their interactions with the US government in a different historic period than indigenous peoples in the colonies and early federal period.
Europeans and Americans did not have sustained encounters with the Alaska Natives until the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, when many were attracted to the region in gold rushes. The Alaska Natives were not allotted individual title in severalty to land under the Dawes Act of 1887 but were instead treated under the Alaska Native Allotment Act of 1906. It was repealed in 1971, following ANSCA, at which time reservations were ended. Another characteristic difference is that Alaska Native tribal governments do not have the power to collect taxes for business transacted on tribal land, per the United States Supreme Court decision in Alaska v. Native Village of Venetie Tribal Government (1998). Except for the Tsimshian, Alaska Natives no longer hold reservations but do control some lands. Under the Marine Mammal Protection Act of 1972, Alaska Natives are reserved the right to harvest whales and other marine mammals.
Gathering of subsistence foodstuffs continues to be an important economic and cultural activity for many Alaska Natives.[2] In Barrow, Alaska in 2005, more than 91 percent of the Iñupiat households which were interviewed still participated in the local subsistence economy, compared with the approximately 33 percent of non-Iñupiat households who used wild resources obtained from hunting, fishing, or gathering.[3]
But, unlike many tribes in the contiguous United States, Alaska Natives do not have treaties with the United States that protect their subsistence rights,[2] except for the right to harvest whales and other marine mammals. The Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act explicitly extinguished aboriginal hunting and fishing rights in the state of Alaska.[4]
Below is a full list of the different Alaska Native cultures, which are largely defined by their historic languages. Within each culture are many different tribes.

I'd like a parcel export analysis report that did take one page per segment! A report with less spaces/returns would be more compact and much appreciated.
I cannot find any way in the styles to do this. Had it been fixed yet?
No, but I have since found that the export file looks better if you open it in word and not just a plain text editor like note pad.
Disappointed! We're using 2012 and have 2013 installed. Doesn't seem to be better at all. I like your idea of opening in Word. I am going to play around with that and see if there is an easy way to get rid of all of spaces. We need to get rid of the spaces and have a tab indent for the north/east. For just one of our projects, the report from LDD2004 with no spaces is 174 pages. We are not interested in doubling the number of pages and I am sure the county would prefer we minimize pages as well.
Update is that we are opening the file in Word and using Find/Replace to remove the extra paragraph marks (^p), then using similar method to add tabs to the beginning of north/east. I suppose this is a decent workaround until we are able to customize the reports using styles, which I would think would be an easy add to the software.

Malaria: deaths hugely underestimated - Lancet study [2/5/2012] [Robinsan Jeyaratnam ]
Worldwide malaria deaths may be almost twice as high as previously estimated, a study reports. The research, published in the British medical journal the Lancet, suggests 1.24 million people died from the mosquito-borne disease in 2010. This compares to a World Health Organisation (WHO) estimate for 2010 of 655,000 deaths. But both the new study and the WHO indicate global death rates are now falling. The research was funded by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. It used new data and new computer modelling to build a historical database for malaria between 1980 and 2010. The conclusion was that worldwide deaths had risen from 995,000 in 1980 to a peak of 1.82 million in 2004, before falling to 1.24 million in 2010. The rise in malaria deaths up to 2004 is attributed to a growth in populations at risk of malaria, while the decline since 2004 is attributed to "a rapid scaling up of malaria control in Africa", supported by international donors. While most deaths were among young children and in Africa, the researchers noted a higher proportion of deaths among older children and adults than previously estimated. In total, 433,000 more deaths occurred among children over five and adults in 2010 than in the WHO estimate. "You learn in medical school that people exposed to malaria as children develop immunity and rarely die from malaria as adults," said Dr Christopher Murray of the University of Washington in Seattle, who led the study. "What we have found in hospital records, death records, surveys and other sources shows that just is not the case." The researchers also concluded malaria eradication was not a possibility in the short-term. "We estimated that if decreases from the peak year of 2004 continue, malaria mortality will decrease to less than 100,000 deaths only after 2020," they write.

This project involves the acquisition, restoration and conservation of a nearly 50-hectare tract of forest in the town of Takao in Hachioji, Tokyo. In 2006, Sagawa Express undertook this project to secure and protect this robust ecosystem as a means of contributing to society while exploring the many possibilities of satoyama woodlands.
After being used as coppiced forest, these formerly tended woodlands were left untouched for 40 years falling into disrepair. Today, however, nearly four hectares of land are being maintained by organizations, including non-governmental organizations, which work with local residents and volunteers to remove overgrowth and thin the forests. At the same time, a path through the area has also been created allowing it to be used for nature study and research.
This feature enables you to find case studies and best practices from companies that have taken an active approach to biodiversity and ecosystem management.

St Charles, Missouri
Sundermeier RV Park
[ 7/10 ]
This park has wide paved sites. It is just a few blocks from St. Charles. The campground is very well maintained but on a narrow side street. It has a restaurant/bar on one side that generates much traffic. Water pressure is very high and there is considerable noise from the railroad and intersate as well as the glide path for St. Louis airport.
Kissimmee, Florida
Orlando / Kissimmee KOA
[ 8/10 ]
This is a KOA company owned and operated park. It is very nice. The only complaint was with the KOA Konnect wireless internet connection. It worked poorly or not at all. The managers were powerless to get it fixed. The staff is all transient so they cannot give good directions.

© U.S. Soccer
Portland Timbers, Montreal Impact Join Academy for 2012-13: The Portland Timbers and Montreal Impact have been selected to join the U.S. Soccer Development Academy for the 2012-13 season. Their inclusion increases the number of MLS Academy clubs to 17 and expands the Academy field to 80 teams for the first 10-month season. The Timbers will join the Northwest Division of the West Conference and the Impact will join a realigned Northeast Division in the East Conference.
Academy on Bye Week: The Development Academy is on hiatus from regular-season play this weekend, but play resumes next weekend, April 14-15, with more than 100 Academy matches scheduled.
Central Conference:
- The Crew Soccer Academy Wolves U-15/16 team kept their unbeaten record intact and handed Indiana United Fire Academy its first divisional loss of the 2011-12 season with a 4-1 victory Saturday. Wolves players Ali Cheaib, Zack Atwood, Yamann Sahlool and Sam Brown each tallied a goal as the team improved to 2-0-1 in the division and 8-0-2 overall. Keaton Levock's 17th-minute goal paced the CSA Wolves U-17/18 team (2-0-0 Great Lakes, 6-2-1 overall) as it shut out Indiana United Fire Academy 1-0 on Saturday.
- Among the local derby fixtures, Shattuck-Saint Mary's Soccer Academy swept the Minnesota Thunder Academy as the U-15/16 team posted a 2-0 victory and the U-17/18 group earned a 1-0 victory on Ricardo Lopez-Espin's 90th-minute game-winner. St. Louis Scott Gallagher Metro had a win and a draw against rival St. Louis Scott Gallagher Missouri. Tyler Swanner had the lone goal for the SLSG Metro U-15/16 team en route to a 1-0 victory, while Louis Berra's second-half goal helped SLSG Metro U-17/18 overcome a first-half deficit for a 1-1 draw.
- The Sockers FC U-17/18 team improved to 3-0-0 in the Great Lakes Division with a 3-2 victory against Crew Soccer Academy and a 2-1 win against Internationals, increasing their overall record to 7-0-3 while outscoring their opponents 20-7.
East Conference:

United on Saturday in both teams' Mid-Atlantic Division opener. Baltimore's defense put together another stout effort with the clean sheet as the team has allowed only 10 goals in 11 matches this season. The U-15/16 teams played to a scoreless draw.
- Players Development Academy's Max Kroschwitz scored four goals over the weekend, including three tallies during a 5-2 win against Seacoast United at the U-15/16 level.

West Conference:
- Chivas USA swept Real Salt Lake AZ last weekend, highlighted by the U-15/16 team's 3-1 victory against the SoCal Division-leading RSL squad. Chivas built a 3-0 lead through the first 45 minutes with Andrew Benitez, Romario Lomeli and Sebastian Velasco finding the back of the net. Chivas USA's U-17/18 team maintained its division lead with a 1-0 victory as Jose Dheming tallied the game's lone goal.
- The San Diego Surf earned two victories against Strikers FC on Saturday, with Michael Griswold scoring two goals during the U-15/16 team's 3-1 victory and Michael Turner tallying a pair of goals to lead the U-17/18 team to a 5-1 win.
Week 28 Player of the Week: Jake McGuire, Goalkeeper, Chivas USA
Jake McGuire started and played 90 minutes for Chivas USA's U-17/18 team last Saturday en route to a 1-0 shutout victory against Real Salt Lake AZ. McGuire has now earned six shutouts this season, allowing only 17 goals for an impressive 1.00 goals allowed average. McGuire has been called into the U.S. U-20 Men's National Team's upcoming camp, which starts Monday, April 9, in Portland.
Referee of the Week: Sin Hang Lai
Sin Hang Lai earns Referee of the Week honors for his performance during this past weekend's U-17/18 match between the Oakwood Soccer Club and the New York Cosmos Academy.

Oy vey! I can't wait any longer to place my order! Is this new color going to be for bags other than the Tri-Star or Aeronaut?
I just looked up an old post I made on May 2: "Oh, I would so love a Wasabi type Dyneema!"
This new color makes me unusually happy! I can't believe I left the forum for a couple days and missed the big reveal. Now.... just waiting for a wasabi dyneema synapse. And the navy with wasabi aeronaut would be amazing!

I just ordered an Olive/Steel Synapse and asked Brian if there would be an Olive/Wasabi, and he said that for now the only Synapse with Wasabi will be Black/Wasabi.
But we can keep hoping! Personally, my holiday wish is that they find a hidden stash of Plum Synapses in a box somewhere.
Synapse 19 (Nordic Dyneema), Synapse 19 (Black/Ultraviolet), Smart Alec (Nordic), Field Journals (Plum, Navy, Conifer), Side Effects (Plum, Navy/Iberian, Steel Dyneema), Swift (Cork), Little Swift (Cork), Small Cafe Bag (Plum/Wasabi), Medium Cafe Bag (Nordic Dyneema/UV) Large Cafe Bag (Plum/Wasabi), Imago (Aubergine/Hemp), Co-Pilots (Nordic, Black), multiple pouches and tethers, Guardian Dual-Function Light, Citizen Canine and two leashes.
I'd like to know this, too, but I'm guessing that since all the Synapses are currently on back order and scheduled for an August return, that we're talking about October or late September. But they might start working on these earlier, since the Synapse is a really popular seller.
I'm actually quite optimistic that they might make the Synapse in Plum/Wasabi. First of all, this is a pretty classic color combination. I have friends who claim that the plum/wasabi color combination (for their cafe bags) is simply the best ever. I've got the original Ristretto in plum/wasabi, and now that the Ristrettos are generally made with Ballistic Nylon, except for one Cordura combination, my main comment about the olive/cayenne (Cordura) Ristretto is that it looks fine — except, of course, it would look even better in plum/wasabi.
As you may have gathered from reading other posts, there's a strong contingent of staunchly "pro-Plum" forum members. So I think it's quite likely that a Plum version of the Synapse will be showing up again in the near future — especially with a nicely contrasting Dyneema color available.

Plum/Steel and Plum/UV would be gorgeous as well!
My Plum/Steel LCB looks dashing next to my UV Synapse and LSB, just sayin...
Just ordered my first piece of wasabi dyneema.

Read More »
Known just as much for his permed hair as he is for his animated performances and quick wit, comedian Katt Williams has been making his mark in Hollywood for over 10 years. Beginning his career at an age when most teenagers are seeking their driver's license, the young comic quickly discovered that he had a gift for making people laugh. Inspired by the likes of great humorists such as Richard Pryor, Donn Knotts, Eddie Murphy, Bill Cosby, George Carlin, Thomas Marshall, Jeff Foxworthy, Whoopi Goldberg, Jerry Seinfeld and Dave Chapelle, whom he calls the "Malcolm X of comedy," Katt Williams' entertaining standup routines are laying the blueprint for a new generation of comics.Born in Cincinnati, Ohio and raised in Dayton, Katt Williams was the product of a socially and politically charged household. His parent's influence and teachings may have been what caused him to briefly join the Nation of Islam later on in his life while living in the Bay Area. Being that educational excellence was greatly encouraged from birth, the tiny protege was reading at age 3. An avid book lover, Katt's parents banned him from reading as a form of punishment when he got into trouble. When he was 12, he won a number of awards for science projects, which landed him a full scholarship to The National Science Academy in Dayton, but as soon as the young brain found out about the scholarship, he purposely failed a math test in order to be disqualified from participating in the program. "I was young. You know when you are young, you just do what you do. I can use my I.Q. now. I had a high I.Q as an 8 years old. So you know what was I gonna do with it. I was just trying to be impressive and not mess up."
Longing to express his creative side, Katt escaped into his own world, compiling fresh jokes with fresh music and intellect; honing his skills. As a means to get into a nightclub where he was underage one fateful evening, Katt noticed that they weren't checking ID's in the line for comics and proceeded to enter the club through that entrance. Thinking that he would be able to chill and enjoy the party, the quick thinker was called on stage where he did a five-minute improv to an enthusiastic crowd. "I was so nervous but everyone laughed and thought I was funny. After that, I was opened up to the wonderful world of comedy," recalls the multi-talented entertainer. "Improv is where a comic really gets to shine, if he is good. That's as close as a comedian can get to the playoffs. I went through those years were I wanted to be the funny comic, now I'm trying to be the greatest comic of my time."
In 1999 Katt became a presence at The Improv, The Comedy Club, The Icehouse and even had his own room at The Hollywood Park Casino where he had a large, loyal following. He's become a staple comedic force on BET, appearing on shows such as "Comic View", "Rip the Runway", "Black Carpet", "106th & Park", "The BET Awards" and "BET Comedy Awards." Throughout his success he has been massively embraced by the Hip Hop community, receiving praise from Master P ("Hands down Katt Williams is the next Richard Pryor") and Snoop Dogg ("Katt is doing his comedy thing so flamboyantly and so fly with spirit of the late great Red Foxx and the spirit of Richard Pryor") Last month Katt hosted the 1st Annual BET "Hip Hop" Award Show from The Fox Theatre in Atlanta, Georgia. In his role as host he received an overwhelmingly positive response from critics and had a chance to speak directly to Hip Hop audiences globally and share his insight on urban culture, folklore, lifestyle, history and music. More than a musical style, hip-hop is a history of American culture, and a testimony by its artists of their life experiences. The Award Show was an electrifying evening of non-stop homage and entertainment to the genre of Hip Hop music. Performances included Snoop Dogg, Ludacris, Young Jeezy and T.I. while Award Nominees include everyone from Common and Busta Rhymes to DMX and Jay-Z.
Katt Williams' talent extends over multiple mediums. Known to most for his breakout role in three seasons of Nick Cannon's highly-rated MTV improv show, "Wild n' Out," the funnyman has appeared in music videos for everyone from Outkast ("Roses") and Ludacris ("Stand Up" & "Number One Spot") to E-40 ("One Night Stand") and Lil' Kim ("Shut Up/Lighter's Up"), in addition to landing roles on the small and big screen. Some of his appearances include "NYPD Blue," UPN's "Girlfriends" and "Cuts," "The Tracy Morgan Show", "Wanted", "My Wife and Kids", Russell Simmon's HBO "Def Comedy Jam" alongside Dave Chappelle and Mike Epps and an animated character ("A Pimp Named Slickback") on the popular adult cartoon "The Boondocks." Katt also co-starred in MTV's half-hour improv series "Nick Cannon Presents: Short Circuitz," in 2007. Katt continues to receive stamps of approvals from the urban and mainstream community alike for his brilliance and ingenuity on screen and on-stage including being named "hottest new comedian" in Rolling Stone Magazine as well as praise from African American comedic icons such as Steve Harvey who says, "He's one of the hottest comedians in the country."
Widely recognized for his role as "Money Mike" in the hit New Line movie Friday After Next, the rising star embarked on a multi-city sold out comedy tour in 2007, pared with the release of his groundbreaking, "It's Pimpin', Pimpin'" (Camron's Diplomat Records/Warner Bros.), featuring Snoop Dogg, Da Brat, E-40, Lyfe Jennings, Paul Wall, Mike Jones, Lil' Jon, and more.
As if those artistic ventures weren't enough in September 2006 HBO aired "Katt Williams: Pimp Chronicles Pt.1," 60 minutes of stand-up from the entertaining comedian taped live in Atlanta with guest appearances from Cam'ron, Lil' Jon, Snoop Dogg, Andre 3000, Da Brat and Anthony Anderson to name a few. Williams was able to draw on his own experiences and his edgy take on life to bring the house down with laughter with his unique personality, pimp-esque charisma and endless supply of original jokes. Over 8 million people viewed the show and it quickly became the highest rated special on the HBO Network for both 2005 and 2006. To follow up that success Katt taped a sequel, "Pimp Chronicles Pt. 2" which was released in movie theaters nationwide in 2007.
Katt's prodigious talent seems to know no limits and he's eager to add the title of 'Hollywood Actor' to his repertoire. In February 2007, he lit up the big screen with an unforgettable role in the Eddie Murphy film "Norbit" (Dreamworks) along with other stars including Cuba Gooding Jr., Eddie Griffin, Thandie Newton and Marlon Wayans and appeared in the romantic comedy, "The Perfect Holiday" (Flavor Unit Productions) featuring Terence Howard, Queen Latifah, Morris Chestnut and Gabrielle Union.
While his goal is to build a comedy empire and restore dignity to his profession, Katt Williams is also a humanitarian. He is as committed to his children as he is to his work; he doesn't joke when it comes to them. "I have eight children, seven adopted. When my son Micah was born, it changed my life. Every week when I'm able to clothe and feed my family, pay my staff and travel around the world solely on the strength of comedy, that is my greatest accomplishment."
Telling jokes with ease, the stand-up comic/actor wants to conquer the globe's problems with laughter. "Everything, everywhere is comedy material. To watch and view the world via television, newspapers, movies and music translate our world into funny. There is no subject where funny doesn't exist." The current Los Angeles resident has undoubtedly become a fixture on the comedic and Hollywood landscape with more than enough charisma and talent to spare. Possessing the ability to make millions of people laugh, Katt Williams is healing the world one smile at a time. Katt sums it up best, "I'm in the great comedian lane. Once you're in that lane, that's just the beginning of it. The getting there is the journey."

This is probably trivial to most users, but......
When zooming in and out using the mouse wheel, the increments used in zooming are rather course.
I've tried changing the windows mouse options to no effect within Inventor. I've also looked around the application settings and could not readily find any options which adjusts zooming increment.
Is there even such an option, or am I out of luck on this one?
Thanks in advance for any help offered on this. :-)
Solved! Go to Solution.
What mouse are you using and do you have the drivers for it or using a generic windows driver?
Update the driver and give it a shot..
Never use generic windows driver... They really don't work..
Did this just start happening or has this been an issue to you for a while?
What version of Inventor are you running?
I do not have that option available to me currently. I'll ask my admin (tomorrow) if he'll load the proper drivers and see where we go from there. But yes, I am using the generic windows drivers. The admin has driver updates and other things locked out.... for whatever reason. (New Job, so still feeling things out here)
In any case...... so are you saying, there is no option within Inventor to adjust zooming increments? It's strictly OS mouse driver settings?
Scott..... it's always been like this. I've only just started this job around a month ago. We're using Inventor 2013. I last used Inventor from 2007-2009, then switched to Catia... now back to Inventor.
Ahhh the life of a contractor! :-)
I don't know a way to change the scroll wheel zoom increment.
BUT, if you need finer control of the zoom, you can hold down F3, then click & drag (left mouse button) up and down. This allows for much smoother zooming.
cwhetten.... Thank you! Acceptable solution! :-)
I understand. In conjunction with what has already been suggested you can always use the navigation wheel as well.
I find it to work pretty good. I toggle it on/off with ctrl-W.
Or get a Space Pilot.
Something that everyone should have.

Here's the biggest Election Year headline almost guaranteed not to go viral: God is running as a clear underdog.
We'll let the Rev. James Forbes explain.
"It's very clear that we cannot serve both God and Mammon," says Forbes, a prominent New York preacher who'll speak at a Charlotte church before the Democratic convention.
"And guess what: Mammon is the reigning deity."
Mammon, from the New Testament perspective, is the false god of greed and material wealth. In election-year terms, Mammon is blessed with a formidable campaign war chest.
Forbes attributes Mammon's lead over God in the popular vote to the country's deep-rooted "spiritual depression."
You know the signs:
A discourse fueled with contempt. Us vs. them. Political intransigence. Anger, even violence, against "The Other."
All are symptoms of what Forbes calls an "absence of accountability to one another."
Politics, nor political leaders, can't change that. It's up to the spiritual community, he says, to restore hope.
That's no easy task.
Over the next few weeks, an all-consuming presidential campaign, which embodies much of what Forbes feels is already wrong with the country, will begin dominating the national attention span.
What's more, it's getting harder and harder to distinguish the political voices from the spiritual ones.
Many religious groups have already chosen sides in the campaigns. Questions of a candidate's beliefs and spiritual qualifications to be president have been dogging the hopefuls for more than a year.
Is Obama or Romney really a Christian? Who's the better Catholic: Ryan or Biden?
A Pew Foundation poll in March found that voter discomfort with political candidates talking about religion had reached an all-time high.
The exception: evangelical Christians. Not surprisingly, some 300 conservative pastors gathered in Charlotte last week to discuss getting more involved in the campaign.
Other denominations also are weighing in. During the week of the convention, Bishop Peter Jugis of Charlotte will sermonize on election-year thoughts for Catholics.
The next day: Sister Simone Campbell, head of a group of nuns who have been critical of Republican spending plans for the poor, will speak at one of Jugis' churches.
While they come from similar spiritual backgrounds and represent the same church, here's betting $5 for the collection plate that they won't be voting the same way for president.
For Catholics, who breaks the tie?
Which leads to the key question: Is there a risk to religious groups when their spiritual and political voices merge?
Can they do the work that Forbes says must be done, or do they simply become one more indistinguishable voice in a partisan shouting match?
