I have finished drawing a 3D of a building using the combination 3dsolids, 3dfaces and exploded text and extruded to certain height. I am using AutoCAD 2012, set up to shaded with edges, setup the dwg to pdf.pc3 to 12oo dpi. When I plot the drawing, the output seems to be pixelated when viewed by adobe reader. Plotting to a colored printer seems to be okay. How can I plot 3D drawing to pdf with smooth edges?
Are you using a visual style or Plot Shademode other than 2D Wireframe? You may need to open Visual Style Manager. Select the visual style you are using. Set the Edge Settings > Show, change it from Facet Edges, to use Isolines. The Facet Edges, looks great on screen, but causes the plots to have poor resolution.
I have tried almost all of the options and combinations in the Visual Syles, and still get the same pixelated pdf.
I even adjusted the pdf setting to maximum 2400dpi. Plotting to a 300dpi printer is okay
Is 3D plotting printing the drawing displayed on the screen and not the drawing itself?

This is a bit of a carrot really - the shot I am really posing will be in version 2 in a moment, but a mono industrial shot will not get anyone looking, so thought I'd put a colourful landsccape with a broody sky....
This is a simple shot of an oil seed rape field, facming north at sunset.
The one in version 2 is a shot of the docks at Goole, it's an industrial scene with lots of different tones and shapes, had to be HDR because of the silhouette issues of shooting into the sun
It may get it's own place on the gallery one day, but knowing EPZ as well as I do - thought the rape would get you loking

Underhand and devious, I like it.
I think it would be unfair to consider the rape shot just a carrot though as it is a bold and appealing shot in its own right, but I guess the point is it could be half as bold and half as appealing and it would still get twice as many votes as the industrial scene.
Moving on the industrial scene, I would imagine printed large this would be a very strong image, but on screen I am finding the mono conversion a little flat and slightly lacking in lead in.
You have two relatively featureless areas with the water and the sky and the only element that is bold enough to stop the eye roaming around too much is the checkerboard pattern bottom right. As a result I find myself wondering if it would be better without that or with a stronger conversion to try and amp up the other details.
I would therefore have to say on reflection (or perhaps due to EPZ conditioning) that the field scene is a more accomplished shot of its genre than the industrial one imho.
Nominating Constructive Critique
The checkered danger sign grabs the eye and leads it into the image which indeed has many great tones and levels, the detail is excellent, including the little splash of artificial light in the right centre, remarkably well detailed.
Sadly the image is a boring industrial site with no merit for me other than the great gamut of tones and detail.
Your grabber in Version 1 is very well composed and does of course steal the show Ade, Sorry my friend, I don't think it's anything to do with where it's displayed.
PS the title is misspelled.

Have to agree with Douglas here Ade. The industrial site shot doesn't exactly grab a non-connoisseur, whereas the rape shot has loads of colour, lead-in lines & a great sky to boot.
You have a good day at the cricket?
EDIT Just noticed you posted this at 2.28 so I guess you didn't go?

Got me looking....and I like both. Were you stood in the rape field? - if so, I might have been tempted to go a bit lower with the shot to get some larger, in-focus rape as a bonus. (I feel a bit shy, writing a comment on your image like that - I don't feel qualified to recommend anything to such an accomplished photographer as you!!).

Police accidentally pepper sprayed man on fire in Portland | KREM 2 News | KREM.com | When it Matters Most | Northwest News
hehe... oopsPORTLAND A Portland police officer was taking time off after a "traumatic incident" where a man on fire was accidentally pepper sprayed while officers and bystanders were trying to douse the flames, the chief said Thursday.
Investigators said 26-year-old Daniel Schaull doused himself with gasoline and set himself on fire at the intersection of SW 12th Ave. and Yamhill Wednesday morning, according to police. He was taken to the hospital and died Wednesday evening.
Chief Rosie Sizer said while trying to put out the flames the first officer on the scene accidentally grabbed a pepper gas canister from the patrol vehicle, rather than a fire extinguisher. Fire investigators said the pepper gas in no way fanned the flames and did nothing to worsen the situation, since it was water-based. Both canisters are red in color and similar in size.
Sizer said the man was also intentionally avoiding the extinguishers.
Witnesses told KGW that they'd heard someone screaming for help and a man engulfed in flames, running down the street. A Portland officer had just pulled up at the intersection when she noticed the flames and smoke and ran to help. Bystanders and another officer also helped put out the fire.
Firefighters arrived just after 11 a.m. to find Schaull significantly burned.
Portland's police and fire bureaus jointly investigated. Police Bureau Lt. Damon Simmons would not comment on the cause of death and said medical examiners would be conducting an autopsy.
Simmons added that police were continuing their investigation.
Sizer said the officer felt "terrible" about the incident and was taken a few days off.

Google Holds Out Against 'Do Not Track' Flag
- |
- 6:57 pm |
- Permalink
In fact, Apple has many of the same concerns. In a new paper about online privacy (.pdf) submitted to the W3C standards-setting body, Apple questioned what "tracking" means online. It argued that sending a "Do Not Track" signal to a website would only work for sites that decide to obey it, calling it "akin to hanging a 'privacy, please' door hanger on an unlocked door –- most will respect it, but the persistent will simply walk in."
There is, therefore, an urgent need to document what, fairly exactly, it means. What stops working? If nothing stops working, from the user's point of view, there is a risk that it will be turned on all the time. Can I login? Buy something? What constitutes 'track'? If someone buys something, I can obviously record the purchase, and pretty clearly the affect [sic] on my inventory. Am I allowed to record statistical data (e.g. the type of goods bought at different times of day)? At what point does this 'personally derived data' turn into 'tracking'?
Even though the FTC and the Commerce Department are behind the new technology, both companies are correct that it's not clear what counts as tracking. For instance, if you are signed into your Facebook or Google account, can those sites catalog what you do, even if you have the flag on?
What about companies that provide analysis of what users do in bulk on a website — such as telling you how many people visited a given page and how many pages on average a visitor looks at? And what about so-called "A/B" testing tools that let sites experiment by showing one logo to one set of visitors and another to a different set of users, to see which logo is more likely to convince people to sign up for the service?
But Soghoian argues that both Google's ad program and its analytics program already let users opt out, so why not simply adopt the "Do Not Track" flag as another signal to opt out.
Answering his own question, he says it's about money that Google stands to lose if users of its browser get an easy way to opt out of its advertising tracking.
"The opt-out cookies and their plug-in are not aimed at consumers," Soghoian says. "They are aimed at policy makers. Their purpose is to give them something to talk about when they get called in front of Congress. No one is using this plug-in and they don't expect anyone to use it."
Of all the major browser makers, Google would have the most to lose if many people starting setting the flag and companies were forced, by public opinion or law, to obey it. While Google's largest source of ad money — search ads related to search terms — doesn't rely on behavioral tracking, its growing business of display advertising (on other websites and in YouTube) does.
Ironically, the DNT header is likely not to affect Facebook, the net's single largest display advertiser and the one company Google seems to fear. Although the social networking site knows every page you visit that has a "Like" button or Facebook widget (at least while you are signed into Facebook), the company says it doesn't keep that data for long and doesn't use it to create a profile. Instead, it targets the ads inside Facebook relying on the data its users put in its profile — which is not likely to count as "tracking" if a spec is finalized.
In that process, Google's concerns are being ironed out, according to Soghoian.
A first pass by a Mozilla engineer and two Stanford researchers at defining the problem for the IETF suggests that sites that get opt-in consent from users can ignore the flag. So, for example, if Facebook asked users if they would mind having Facebook know what sites they visit around the web with "Like" buttons, Facebook can make use of that data, even if a user has the "Do Not Track" setting. Tracking users around your own site would be fine, as would be analytics software, including those run by third parties, so long as the data isn't shared with other companies.
Even if Google adopts it, right now the tool is in some ways toothless.
In absence of legislation, the "Do Not Track" header doesn't mean anything legally — unless a company promises to obey it, but then doesn't. That's a situation the FTC or state attorneys general could look into under current law. But otherwise, an ad network can simply ignore it, with no legal consequences.
Privacy legislation introduced this week by Sens. John Kerry (D-Massachusetts) and John McCain (R-Arizona) tightens information-sharing rules, and could include a mandate requiring U.S. companies to follow the DNT flag.
And finally, Apple and Microsoft's decision to include the "Do Not Track" header in their browsers (and Google's not to) brings up the question of how such a rule would apply on mobile devices and whether there should be a "Do Not Track" flag for mobile apps. Right now, there's no way to get a "Do Not Track" –capable browser on the iPhone, and Android users need to switch to Firefox Mobile to get the flag.
Mobile apps have come under scrutiny from the press and even the Justice Department for allegedly mining users' data in secret.
But to have a "Do Not Track" setting for apps would require the app platform makers — Google, Apple, RIM and Microsoft — to bake it into their OSes, which is a trickier situation businesswise, because the two dominant platform makers, Google and Apple, are battling over supremacy in the growing market for in-app ads.
Which is a long way of saying that the "Do Not Track" header is a simple technical change that is likely to have profound effects on the online world and the politics that surround it.
Chrome didn't have to be last to the antitracking party, which shows no sign of ending soon, because Google was in on the first call when the idea was proposed, according to Soghoian.
"Google could have been first, but instead they will be last," Soghoian said.

I have used this park for winters over the past twelve years. It is a great park with good sized sites and really reasonable for the winter. The scenery is beautiful and the management and service is always good humored and friendly. Some erratic Wi-Fi problems which were dealt with. It has numerous organized activities and a friendly winter group. This is one of the best parks in the US and is immaculately cared for. I have been in most of the best parks throughout the US during the 18 years I have been full timing and always compare the others to this one.
I strongly recommend this park. The cost is reflected by the winter monthly rate which is amazing reasonable. - ERB
This is a superb campground in an idyllic setting and a great location - about 13 scenic miles from the west entrance to Zion National Park. At about the same distance in the opposite direction sits Hurricane, Utah, with a handful of restaurants, a couple of grocery stores and a Walmart – a really nice little town. A few miles southwest of Hurricane is St George - a really nice big town. And I can report that St George has a Jeep dealership with a very good service department (our toad blew a water pump while we were there and needed emergency surgery). As regards the campground, we found navigating into, around and out of it with our 40' coach to be a can-o-corn. And our full hookup, pull through, concrete site was level, long enough to park our vehicles in-line, and situated a comfortable distance from our neighbors' sites. It was nicely landscaped with grass and rocks and had a beautiful shade tree. And the staff we met were all cordial and very accommodating. The only problem we encountered at this campground was with telephone reception; Verizon's service ranges from marginal to unsatisfactory here. We were, however, usually able to communicate by phone as long as we were outside of the coach. On the plus side of the technology ledger is the park's Wi-Fi service, which is perhaps the best we've ever experienced. We found an abundance of 5-bar connection points and, thus, great Internet connectivity. Also a big plus for us were the TV options: the park-provided cable was standard-def but adequate, we got very good digital reception of OTA broadcasts with our crank-up antenna, and we had perfect satellite reception with our carryout dish sitting on the ground. Last thoughts: come in October and the weather alone will make the trip worthwhile. I've been a Floridian since 1966 and have never seen seven consecutive days of absolutely perfect weather like the week we just enjoyed in Virgin, Utah. And don't be put off by the site fees; this park is a solid 10 and worth every penny. - TW Flash
Nice clean park. Concrete pads with grass and trees between sites. Wi-Fi did not work at our site. No Verizon cell service at all. They have a booster in the main building that works when you stand near it, but there was a kid watching TV in the same room so that didn't work out very well for me. We didn't use the showers but they do charge extra for them. For what they charge to stay there it seems to me that the showers shouldn't be extra. Nice store, book exchange, and free DVDs to borrow. - thekites

Madison Symphony Closes Season with Surprises Galore
Even before the Madison Symphony closed its 2012–13 season, attention had shifted to the celebration of John DeMain's impending launch of his twentieth season with the orchestra next fall (along with the same round number as music director of Madison Opera). But Friday night in Overture Hall, DeMain and his ensemble—and the Madison Symphony Chorus, three vocal soloists and the venue's magnificent organ—managed to bring our focus back to the musical business at hand. And for good measure, we were given concertmaster Naha Greenholtz in the role of soloist in a favorite concerto.
Pulling a player out of the orchestra and into the soloist spotlight doesn't always get audiences excited, but the scheduling of Naha Greenholtz (read a profile here) as guest artist in the Mendelssohn Violin Concerto proved a happy exception. Completing just her second season as the MSO concertmaster, Greenholtz has given local audiences a fair amount of "what if" material in her extended in-orchestra solos such as in last season's "Ein Heldenleben."
Greenholtz's traversal of Mendelssohn (possibly most often performed violin concerto) initially struck one as a no-surprise, but no bumps-in-the-road approach. There was an immediate sense of a quasi-chamber ensemble attitude that serves the work well, and the effect was heightened to great advantage as Greenholtz took over the second thematic group. Now there was a stop-and-smell-the-roses flexibility to the phrasing; more than once she carefully prepared a pristine leap to a high harmonic that held in the air until it seemed to just float away. Similarly, the cadenza was more introspective than flash and dash. The Andante continued this tender dialogue, with DeMain lovingly marshaling his orchestra forces. Only in the first part of the finale—where the orchestra seemed unused to a more deliberate tempo—was there any hint of uncertainty in Greenhotz's playing. But she saved an extra gear for the coda, and the orchestra matched her in passion and precision. The ovation, largely and quickly a standing one, was prolonged; apparently the Friday night subscribers at least have fully embraced Greenholtz as one of the family.
In other circumstances, the Madison Symphony Chorus (directed by Beverly Taylor) would have been the star of the night; better still, their versatility and overall contributions made it possible for the composers to be recognized as luminaries. In a way, DeMain took a page from Andrew Sewell and the Wisconsin Chamber Orchestra's playbook by offering one instrumental and three choral excerpts from Handel's Solomon. With an orchestra of about forty, DeMain led a bouncy and lithe "Arrival of the Queen of Sheba," with the chorus of over 130 providing sensitive lines in "No rash intruder" and robustly blended tones in the livelier choruses. No one tires of the "Hallelujah Chorus" on the annual "Christmas Spectacular," but what a treat to hear some other Handel from the MSO.
But it was the second half of the program that intrigued most, and lived up to every expectation. Every time I have read a reference to Rachmaninoff's "The Bells," I have hoped for an opportunity to hear it live. The decades-long wait was worth it. Symphonic in scope, kaleidoscopic in color, the four movements set a Russian version of Poe's poem of the same name. Soprano Alexandra LoBianco in the opening movement and tenor Harold Meers in the second were perfectly cast; only baritone Hugh Russell was occasionally overshadowed in the grim finale. The range of emotion and orchestral textures are enormous, and DeMain and the sprawled forces of the MSO and Chorus (and organ again) reveled in the opportunities.
The 15-minute "Toward the Unknown Region" of Vaughan Williams is set to Whitman, and was a fittingly uplifting and forward-looking antidote to the ultimately dark Rachmaninoff—and to looking ahead anew to hopefully several more years at least of DeMain's increasingly stimulating programming.
Yet there was one more sobering aspect to the night; via Twitter, the word was out that principal clarinetist Linda Bartley was retiring. An MSO staffer confirmed at intermission that the official announcement would be made at the post-concert reception. Arriving in Madison and joining the staff at the University of Wisconsin in 1992, Bartley has distinguished herself as a quintessential example of a principal player: she nailed all the solos with aplomb and a beautiful tone, but just as importantly anchored a wonderfully cohesive woodwind section. We give her the final "brava" this season.

[OS] CHILE - Chile mines, refineries safe after new aftershocks

By Mica Rosenberg and Alonso Soto
SANTIAGO/TALCAHUANO, March 11 (Reuters) - Chile's mining and refinery
sectors escaped damage on Thursday as a series of powerful aftershocks
rocked the world's largest copper producer in the wake of one of the
biggest earthquakes ever recorded.
Chile's Codelco and global miner Anglo American said all their mines were
unharmed after seven tremors -- one as strong as 6.9-magnitude -- rocked
the southern-central area near the epicenter of the massive Feb. 27
earthquake that killed hundreds of people.
The latest aftershocks shook Rancagua, a city near Codelco's giant
underground mine El Teniente, just as new conservative president Sebastian
Pinera was being inaugurated,
"We do not have any reports of damage," a Codelco spokeswoman said.
Dozens of aftershocks in the days following the 8.8-magnitude quake which
knocked down roads, bridges and thousands of houses have so far caused no
new fatalities or serious destruction.
The bulk of Chile's key copper industry is located in the north, far from
the hardest hit areas.
El Teniente and Andina, Codelco's second- and third-largest mines by
production with combined annual output last year of 614,000 tonnes, were
only briefly offline after Chile the initial quake, and were operating
fine on Thursday.
Global miner Anglo American <AAL.L> also said its mines were also unharmed
by aftershocks.
"Everything is normal. No problems. There was no damage to the operations
in the central region," Marcelo Esquivel, Anglo American's spokesman in
Chile's capital Santiago told Reuters.
Two of Chile's top oil refineries damaged by the original quake remain
shut. The Bio Bio refinery and the smaller Aconcagua refinery suffered no
additional damage from the aftershocks, although workers were evacuated
for safety reasons, union leaders at both plants said.
The Bio Bio refinery could be offline for two to three months and the
Aconcagua refinery should be starting up operations this week, the union
leaders said.
The navy sent all boats out to open sea, including tankers, after a
tsunami alert as a preventive measure. The navy later lifted the tsunami
alert for Chile's coastal areas, but the alert remained in place for
Easter Island.
Chile has increased fuel shipments to cover shortages from the refinery
closures. (Editing by Simon Gardner and David Gregorio)

Federal employees worry about paying bills or possibly having to take on debt to survive the sequester. (Stock image)
Federal employees are concerned sequestration will hamper agency performance, according to a new survey, but what really worries them are the devastating personal consequences it could bring.
To assess the current the impact of looming budget cuts, the pay freeze and sequestration on the government workforce, the National Treasury Employees Union surveyed its members. More than 2,250 federal employees completed the electronic poll.
The findings hint at how reduced budgets are already affecting federal agencies: Two-thirds said they see a hiring freeze, and nearly eight in 10 said employees who leave are not being replaced. Almost half said critical work is not getting done, while another 68 percent said their agency cannot complete its work appropriately.
Cutbacks also hit on a more personal level. Because of the pay freeze, nearly 75 percent of respondents have had to cut back on necessities, while two-thirds are having trouble making ends meet. Sixty percent are sinking deeper into debt; nearly 30 percent have had to rely on loans or other help to pay their bills.
Furloughs as part of sequestration would make it difficult for 80 percent to pay their rent or mortgage, utility bills and food. Sixty percent said they would have to dip into their savings or retirement plans to pay for expenses. A furlough would be especially harmful for 19 percent whose spouses have already lost a job or suffered a pay cut.
"These are not theoretical consequences," said NTEU President Colleen M. Kelley, who called for "a balanced, common-sense" strategy to sequestration. "These are actual, serious problems that real people will face, with lasting impact on their lives."
Federal employees do also fret about the impact of the budget cuts on their agency missions, the survey also shows.
Survey repondents said consequences of an extra 5 percent cut at agencies could include:
This chart, taken from NTEU's sequestration survey, shows how the sequester is already affecting agencies.

Mike I agree with you 100%, it is unbelievable right before your eyes. I am a humble person and have faith that my time will come to catch up to 3 grades that I have long for many years now. I have seen them come and go like flies on the walls doing nothing! My only hope is that I can reap the harvest of my hard labor and struggles to be proud of my endurance as a faithful employee.
Talking about focusing on minutiae, the lack of knowledge, information, and awareness represent by the comments I've read so far is exactly the reason we're in this mess. "Democracy is the theory that the common people know what they want, and deserve to get it good and hard." ~ H. L. Mencken
March 1st is a "political cliff", which will have its own negative consequences. The real economic cliff will be the collapse of the Bond Market. Continuing Resolutions mean continue reckless spending. Reckless Government spending has exceeded it's tax revenue and is maintained now by excessive money printing to fill in the shortfall. Excessive money printing devalues the dollar and will lead to High Inflation. At some point faith is lost in the dollar and the Bond Market implodes and the citizens lose faith in their leadership. Austerity on the other hand is also reckless, and results in citizens losing faith in their leadership. So we have 2 choices, which are both bad. I guess this is why Congress cannot decide what to do and who will get blamed, but it all falls back on decades of self-centered leadership under the influence of money.
We lost an employee way back in May of 2012 and other in September and still no replacements in sight. The sequester has nothing to do with filling those positions last year. Now that the sequester is just starting to kick in people are claiming that it is the source of all their problems. Obviously some of these people in the survey are either just out of touch with reality or plain dishonest. This country has a serious debt problem and people have to learn to deal with reality - something I noticed that most life-long Fed employees do not seem to understand.

HIGH SCHOOL TRACK: Thunderstorms force delays at state meet
AUSTIN — Early weather delays Friday, which included lightning and rain, did not initially have a dramatic effect on the late schedule at the UIL State Track and Field Meet.
Instead the cool weather provided comfortable running conditions for the competitors.
That was until the clock struck 7:02 p.m.
All competition, after the girls 100-meter dash in Class 1A Division II, was postponed due to "inclement weather." The meet had 28 events left to complete at press time.
Prior to the lightning delay, only three area competitors completed their respective events.
Richland Springs' 4x100-meter relay team finished sixth with a time of 44.75 seconds. The quartet of Thomas Fowler, Patrick Phillips, Chance Bush and Ty Mann shaved almost a second off their state-qualifying time.
In girls action, Garden City's Hannah Halfmann placed seventh in the 800 with a time of 2 minutes, 33.13 seconds.
Robert Lee's Taylor Benton finished eighth after completing the 100-meter dash with a time of 13.19.
The second day of the meet is scheduled to continue today at 8 a.m. today with the 3,200-meter runs in Class 3A and 5A.

Va. Escapes Worst Of Recession But New Fears Ahead
But Peter Gillard, a retired Social Security worker, says people criticize government until they need it.
"The attitude is 'As long as it doesn't affect me, government is too big,'" says Gillard, a volunteer at an AFL-CIO Democratic get-out-the-vote phone bank. "But when there's a disaster, like a flood or a hurricane, what's the first thing people say? 'Where's MY government?'"
And in this state where the federal government, according to Fuller, accounts for 32 percent of the economy, candidates tread gingerly.
"You have to be somewhat nuanced in how you attack federal government because many people in Virginia understand their prosperity is in part, dependent on it," says Robert Holsworth, a retired Virginia Commonwealth University political science professor. About 375,000 federal workers live in the Washington, D.C., area.
McDonnell, the governor, has acknowledged the importance of federal government, noting that stimulus funds did help Virginia's economy, but he maintains it was only a short-term benefit. ___ NEW ECONOMIC WORRIES The recession may be over, but a new financial threat looms. It's sequestration, the automatic across-the-board cuts that will take place if Congress doesn't reach a budget agreement soon. About half, or $56.7 billion, would come in defense, according to a report by Fuller, of George Mason and Chmura Economics & Analytics. It's a topic Romney dwells on when campaigning in military communities, criticizing the president for the potential cuts, though they were agreed to under a deal between Obama and Republican leaders in Congress. If the cuts proceed, they could result in the loss of more than 207,000 jobs in Virginia alone â¿¿ almost two-thirds of them in defense, according to the report. Fuller says the impact would also hit retailers, car dealers and local governments. "People are scared, extremely scared," says Johnny Garcia, CEO of SimIS, a simulation and information security company in Portsmouth. A Navy veteran, Garcia says his business already has begun adapting to the shrinking defense business, moving into health care and manufacturing.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors
