The state shall pay an assessment levied, except as otherwise provided by law and subject to its right of protest under AS 29.46.020(b). If a governmental unit other than the state benefited by an improvement refuses to pay the assessment, it shall be denied the benefit of the improvement. An improvement proposal may be initiated by
(1) petition to the governing body of the owners of one-half in value of the property to be benefited; or
(2) the governing body.
(b) Notwithstanding (a) of this section, a party to a contract approved by the legislature as a result of submission of a proposed contract developed under AS 43.82 or as a result of acts by the legislature in implementing the purposes of AS 43.82, is exempt, as specified in the contract, from assessment under this chapter against real property associated with the approved qualified project that is subject to the contract. (§ 13 ch 74 SLA 1985; am § 6 ch 104 SLA 1998)
Effective of amendments. – The 1998 amendment, effective June 18, 1998, added subsection (b).
Sec. 29.46.020. Procedure. (a) The municipality may prescribe by ordinance the procedures relating to creating special assessment districts, making local improvements, levying and collecting assessments, and financing improvements, including the following:
(1) a procedure for filing petitions;
(2) a survey and report by the mayor concerning the need for, desirable extent of, and estimated cost of each proposed local improvement;
(3) a public hearing on the necessity for the proposed local improvement;
(4) a resolution or ordinance determining to proceed or not to proceed with the proposed local improvement;
(5) a public hearing by the governing body on the special assessment roll for the proposed local improvement;
(6) published notice of each public hearing required by this section and mailing notice to each record owner of real property in the special assessment district;
(7) a resolution or ordinance confirming the special assessment roll for the proposed local improvement.
(b) If protests as to the necessity of a proposed local improvement are made by owners of property that will bear 50 percent or more of the estimated cost of the improvement, the governing body may not proceed with the improvement until the objections have been reduced to less than 50 percent, except on approval of not fewer than three-fourths of the governing body.
(c) To the extent that the municipality does not prescribe a procedure for special assessments as permitted by this section, the municipality shall comply with the special assessment procedures set out in AS 29.46.030 - 29.46.100.
(d) A municipality may by ordinance provide for deferral of payment of all or part of the assessments on real property owned and occupied as the primary residence and permanent place of abode by a resident who is economically disadvantaged as determined under criteria established in the ordinance. The assessment becomes due when the property ceases to be owned by the resident who qualified for the deferral. (§ 13 ch 74 SLA 1985; am § 1 ch 115 SLA 1998)
Effect of amendments. – The 1998 amendment, effective September 17, 1998, added subsection (d).
Sec. 29.46.030. Creation of district. (a) When an improvement proposal is filed with the municipal clerk and presented to the governing body, the municipality shall find by resolution or ordinance whether (1) the improvement requested is necessary and should be made, and (2) if by petition, the request has sufficient and proper petitioners. The findings under this section are conclusive.
(b) If the municipality approves an improvement proposal, it shall develop a proposed improvement plan including the total cost estimate and the percentage of the cost to be assessed against the benefited property. The improvement plan shall be filed with the municipal clerk.
(c) The governing body shall set a time for public hearing on the improvement plan and the period for filing objections to the plan. The governing body shall publish a notice of the hearing and of the period during which objections may be filed at least once a week for four consecutive weeks in a newspaper of general circulation if distributed in the municipality and shall send notice by mail to every record owner of property in the special assessment district. (§ 13 ch 74 SLA 1985)
Sec. 29.46.040. Record owner. The person in whose name property is listed on the municipal property tax roll as owner is conclusively presumed to be the legal owner of record. If the owner is unknown, the assessment roll may designate "unknown owner". (§ 13 ch 74 SLA 1985)
Sec. 29.46.050. Objections and revision. (a) Objections to an improvement plan may be filed during a period of 60 days after publication of notice. The municipality may by resolution or ordinance approve the plan and order the improvement subject to the limitation of (b) of this section.
(b) If objections are made in writing during the period set for objections by the owners of property bearing 50 percent or more of the estimated total cost of the improvement, the governing body may not proceed with the improvement unless it revises the plan to meet the objections and the objections are reduced to less than 50 percent. A revised plan shall be approved and adopted as an original plan in accordance with AS 29.46.030. (§ 13 ch 74 SLA 1985)
Sec. 29.46.060. Assessment roll. (a) At any time after approval of an improvement plan, the governing body shall assess the authorized percentage of the cost against property in the district included in the plan in proportion to the benefit received.
(b) The special assessment roll shall contain property descriptions, names of record owners, and assessment amounts.
(c) The governing body shall fix a time to hear objections to the roll. The municipal clerk shall send an assessment and hearing notice by mail to each record owner of an assessed property not less than 15 days before the hearing. (§ 13 ch 74 SLA 1985)
Sec. 29.46.070. Hearing and settlement. After the public hearing, the governing body shall correct errors and inequalities in the roll. If an assessment is increased, a new hearing shall be set and notice published, except that a new hearing and notice is not required if all record owners of property subject to the increased assessment consent in writing to the increase. Objections to the increased assessment shall be limited to record owners of property on which the assessment was increased. When the roll is corrected, it shall be confirmed by resolution or ordinance. (§ 13 ch 74 SLA 1985)
Sec. 29.46.080. Payment. (a) The governing body shall fix times of payment, penalties on delinquent payments, and the rate of interest on the unpaid balance of the assessment. Payment may be in one sum or by installments. If payment is to be in one sum, payment may not be required sooner than 60 days after mailing of the assessment statement. The entire assessment may be prepaid without interest or penalty within 30 days after mailing of the assessment statement, and thereafter the assessment may be prepaid in whole or in part with interest to the payment date.
(b) Within 30 days after fixing the time of payment the municipal clerk shall mail a statement to the record owner of each property assessed. The statement designates the property, the assessment amount, method of payment, rate of interest on the unpaid balance of the assessment, the time of delinquency, and penalties on delinquent payments. Within five days after the statements are mailed, the clerk shall have notice published that the statements have been mailed.
(c) Assessments are liens on the property assessed and are prior and paramount to all liens except municipal tax liens. They may be enforced as provided in AS 29.45.320 - 29.45.470 for enforcement of property tax liens. (§ 13 ch 74 SLA 1985)
Sec. 29.46.100. Reassessment. (a) The governing body shall within one year correct any deficiency in a special assessment found by a court. Notice and hearing must conform to the initial assessment procedures.
(b) Payments on the initial assessment are credited to the property upon reassessment. The reassessment becomes a charge upon the property notwithstanding failure to comply with any provision of the assessment procedure. (§ 13 ch 74 SLA 1985)
Sec. 29.46.110. Allowable costs. (a) When a special assessment district is created, there may be included in the assessments
(1) all of the cost of acquiring, installing, making, or constructing the local improvement;
(2) the costs of all engineering and surveying to be done in connection with creating the district or improvement;
(3) the cost of mailing and publishing notices;
(4) interest on interim financing;
(5) the cost of legal services and other expenses incurred in the formation of the special assessment district;
(6) the cost of completing the improvement and financing the improvement, including the issuance of bonds.
(b) The total amount of the assessment roll may not exceed actual costs, but actual costs may include reasonable estimates of the costs to be incurred in connection with issuance of bonds. (§ 13 ch 74 SLA 1985)
Sec. 29.46.120. Objection and appeal. (a) The validity of an assessment may not be contested by a person who did not file with the municipal clerk a written objection to the assessment roll before its confirmation.
(b) The decision of the governing body on an objection may be appealed to the superior court within 30 days after the date of confirmation of the assessment roll. If no objection is filed or appeal taken within that time, the assessment procedure is considered valid in all respects. (§ 13 ch 74 SLA 1985)
Sec. 29.46.130. Interim financing. (a) A municipality may provide by resolution or ordinance for the issuance of notes in payment of the costs of a local improvement project, payable out of special assessments for the improvement. The notes shall bear interest at a rate or rates authorized by the resolution or ordinance, and shall be redeemed either in cash or bonds for the improvement project.
(b) Notes issued against assessments shall be claims against the assessments that are prior and superior to a right, lien or claim of a surety on the bond given to the municipality to secure the performance of its contract for a local improvement project, or to secure the payment of persons who have performed work or furnished materials under the contract.
(c) The municipal treasurer may accept notes against special assessments on conditions prescribed by the governing body in payment of
(1) assessments against which the notes were issued in order of priority;
(2) judgments rendered against property owners who have become delinquent in the payment of assessments; and
(3) certificates of purchase when property has been sold under execution or at tax sale for failure to pay the assessments. (§ 13 ch 74 SLA 1985)
Sec. 29.46.140. Special assessment bonds. (a) The municipality may by ordinance authorize the issuance and sale of special assessment bonds to pay all or part of the cost of an improvement in a special assessment district. The principal and interest of bonds issued shall be payable solely from the levy of special assessments against the property to be benefited. The assessments shall constitute a sinking fund for the payment of principal and interest on the bonds. The benefited property may be pledged by the governing body to secure a payment.
(b) On default in a payment due on a special assessment bond, a bondholder may enforce payment of principal, interest, and costs of collection in a civil action in the same manner and with the same effect as actions for the foreclosure of mortgages on real property. Foreclosure shall be against all property on which assessments are in default. The period for redemption is the same as for a mortgage foreclosure on real property.
(c) Before the governing body may issue special assessment bonds, it shall establish a guarantee fund and appropriate to the fund annually a sum adequate to cover a deficiency in meeting payments of principal and interest on bonds if the reason for the deficiency is nonpayment of assessments when due. Money received from actions taken against property for nonpayment of assessments shall be credited to the guarantee fund. (§ 13 ch 74 SLA 1985)

Proffi Liebowitz is a militant yet sensitive boy who wants nothing more than for the occupying British to leave his land. He and his two friends spend most of their time plotting ways to terrorize and/or blow up the British until one evening, while he's out after curfew, Proffi is seized by Sergeant Dunlop. Instead of arresting him, the British officer deposits Proffi back home, and soon the foes become friends. Proffi, who is estranged from his own father, begins to see Dunlop as a parental figure. Dunlop, lonely and poetic, loves the spirited boy and they find lots to talk about in their meetings, which Proffi must keep a secret. When Proffi's friends follow him one day and see that he has been visiting the detested enemy, they report him to the town officials and Proffi is brought to "trial" for being a traitor. He is eventually found innocent but these experiences shape him for life -- especially the shock that he could have such genuine affection for the enemy. Rated No Rating .

I know i'm just an average player but DAM this is getting a bit much. I know about the lag comp and i've gotten use to playing with it but for the past week and a half this game has gotten worse. I don't play much (only 2+ days since it came out) my kdr has dropped form 2.00 to 1.13, i've lost 43 of the past 51 matches, but i'm a run & gun player and my accuracy is still 20.63%. How in the hell can this be? Even the guys i know that play on XBOX are going through the same crap. Does any of you know if this is a wide spread problem and if they tend on doing something to fix it if it is?
dude its the same for me man, i didnt change anything in my game play and it seems like i cant win a gun battle anymore, my kdr drop a lil bit but still, i never go negative and now i can easely do and its really pissing me off!
You still play MW3??
Buy COD4, it's awesome.
And still hacked all to **** just like MW2 and World at War.
CoD 4 was awesome. That game sucks fat horse dick now because of the amount of hacking that goes on. I love playing previous CoD titles, but can't even play without wanting to throw my tv out the window.
Yeah, definitely something is going on with the game.
Seems it's a widespread issue, seen so many topics about this since Collection 1 was released.
Or could it be the fact robert bowling left?
At most I hope to get 3-4 good games out of 10, which is really sad. MW2 and BLOPS I never had a single issue and then this piece of shyte gets released.
No point in going back and playing the older titles, they are all hacked to shyte, but you can still get some good matches in BLOPS. Jumped on the other day and I was very surprised to see that it was easy to find a match (lots of people still playing) and the games I did land in were smooth, deaths and kills justifiable. I just wonder what happened between MW2 and this...?
What happened? That the guys that made COD what it is (COD4 Modern Warfare) went to form Respawn Entertainment, tired of the bullshit they had to deal with Activision. Just basically that.
60% of the people that made Modern Warfare went with him too. Also i've noticed my assists are way up. I use to get 3 - 5 a match now it's around 8 - 12.
For me personally, the lag comp in Black Ops is almsot as bad as it is in MW 3.
OR it could be that now the game has been out for 6 months and people are getting better and you are not.
I swear, a bunch of whiners.
this is a game for fun. if you aren't having any, then stop playing and leave it to those who are.
i hear viva pinata is a blast and there is no lag. maybe you could try that.
wow! you are a genius!!....NOT! are you dumb or what....dude its not about whining just for the hell of it you idiot, its clearly a fact that something went wrong, that something is making the game harder to have legit kills, its maybe the last patch, its maybe the lag comp, its maybe that ppl camp more i dont know but something went wrong down the line, so your '' OR it could be that now the been as been out for 6 months and ppl are getting better and you are not '' comment is BS! in my clan i have 3 really good player #288 #247 and #22 in the world and if they are having the same problem something is wrong ok, maybe you are one of those that have crappy internet connection skipping all over the place not being able to get killed because of it and you think you are good lmao

Sorry but like i said i'm use to playing with the lag comp and i'm use to having to empty a full clip to get the kill. there are times when i get shot and the person doesn't have me in their sights. i got killed an hour ago by a IMS that was inside of the building and i was outside and around the corner. so it's not that people are getting better and i'm not.
It definitely started with the latest "patch". Before the patch, I would encounter 1 or 2 of the problems the game had, but still manage to come out with relatively decent games a bit of the time. (15+ kills each TDM, but now barely breaking 7-11. I'm also no pro at the game, but even some of the worst players can tell when something is horribly wrong.)
Now, though, it feels like every single match has me encountering ALL the problems ALL at once; horrible lag for me, great lag comp for opponents (and all the pros/cons with them), spawning horribly, the worst matchmaking, and so on. It doesn't help that I'm usually the one made the host when the match starts or picked to be it with a host migration either.
Yep, something has been changed and it isn't just on PS3, the XBox users are making the same complaints.
The game is so inconsistent it is beyond belief. My first game today I went 4-20, couldn't get a kill to save my life (no pun intended). Same set of players and second game I went 27-5 and was getting two hit kills with an ACR!!! I wasn't host, never am since I decided to keep the hard wire out and stay on wireless (being host sucks).
In the past the game has had horrible lag and the host has been unplayable, they have tweaked something to try to resolve the issues but they have simply made it 10x worse. I preferred having 8/10 reasonable games with the odd one spoiled by lag, now I have 8/10 spoiled with 2/10 where it's okay. I think its going to be back to Skyrim until this is re-tweaked and fixed.
4-20 woohoo! (kidding)
exactly what's been going on with me. i just went 3-14, 5-11, and 7-19.
I play on ps3 and my roommate plays on Xbox. We both have the same problem you have. It has nothing with competition level going up. I almost check the lobby leaderboards before each match. I carry a K/D just over 2 now and it use to be way higher before the patch. I will get in lobbies with people with K/Ds of 4 and higher and crush them run and gun. Then other lobbies get my ass handed instant deaths, bullets around corners, shot or stab by people with their backs to me. Then check the leaderboards and the next best guy in the room has a K/D of 0.5. It has really ruined the game cause basically your fate is decided at the beginng of the match when the decide how to sync all the players. Its worse than ever and usually isnt in my favor. Bottom line is all skill is thrown out the window and winners are now determined before the match starts. Then if there is a host change in the middle of the match is best proof. This guy was runnin around with a striker and was 12-0 i was prolly 6 of his kills. Couldnt even get a hitmarker on him just istant death. Then host change occured with about 5 minutes left. I crushed him everytime after he ended the game 12-20. Like i said no skill just your connection now.
The whole spawning system is buggered..And since we have been able to reset our stats once we are up to prestige 15, the people that have are just camping up to get a better k/d ratio.. And it has proper screwed the game up..
i might just do that
you have to admit, part of the problem is now that the new maps have been integrated into the standard playlists, the better players that were strictly elite have come back to wreak havoc. it's not just the lag, it's being outskilled (i'm saying this as someone who's k/d has dropped significantly since the dlc).
I have to agree with Perkadelic.
i've been playing the new maps since they came out so that's not it either
I dont think it has anything to do with the new maps coming on. Ive been elite since the beginning and stayed on the elite playlist to play the new maps so im used to the players. But over the past week I have dropped also and dont know why. Its not a great drop, but thats only because of how many kills I carry, so its hard for it to change that much. I dont know what happened, but someone needs to figure it out pretty quick.
I worked my K/D from 0.70 to 1.20, that's alot of work. Now it's 1.19, hardly a dramatic decrease, but still it isn't going any higher. When i first started playing MW3 i was rubbish, i just couldn't adapt from MW2, but eventually i did and like i said , i worked on my K/D. I have just under 100,000 kills, so that would be my reason for K/D not increasing. But back to topic, i haven't recently been playing that well in MW3, so i end up either rage quitting or just gettng my MSR out and quickscoping, i've even gone back to MW2, 3 nukes in 2 days, didn't even try to get the second nuke lol. Maybe it's just because i'm bored of the game and i'm not trying as hard as i was when i was working on my K/D...
I have had no problems with it at all and I have played 4-6 hours a day since its release. I´m on PS3 though with the standard Swedish 200 MB/s connection.
I quit prestiging @ lvl 9 (same as I always do) and are now working on my guns and KDR. If I played as little as you I might have these problems as well. Those who stick around after 3-4 months are the die hard fans mostly (although some came back now that the 4 new maps are in rotation and aviable for non-elite players).
I´d say 80% of the n00bs and casuals will be gone come summertime with its long days and pleasant nights and will not return until "Betreyarc" decides to f**k us up again at the end of the year.
Yeah this game is seriously taking the piss. I get about 4 decent games out of about 15.
My KD has dropped from 2.60 to 1.92, (Not like I care) However I can never seem to win a gun battle with another player anymore. I can shoot someone 15 times and still be killed in 2 shots by them. And when I do get a kill someone spawns right behind me!
It's noticable when I do get good games because Hit detection works fine, Kills and deaths are fair, I dont need to shoot someone 15 times to get the kills either, Overally the game just seems smoother.
Dude, you tagged yourself as a 'Helpful Answer'. Yes, I have experienced tis too but it's not that bad. I play wireless on my PS3 even though my router is right through a wall. Do you live near a large city? Population of players in your area might be making you connect to people in Central America....
I live in NYC (the bronx) and i just played for 1 hour and it's gotten worse
Played a private match with only 3 people, from the same country. Ping should be no more than 30ms, but one guy had 300ms lag advantage.

Carcassonne Tourist Attractions
Carcassonne, chief town of the département of Aude and the see of a bishop, lies in the foothills of the Pyrenees on an ancient route from the Atlantic up the Garonne valley and along the present-day Canal du Midi to the Mediterranean.
Ville Basse
Two bridges (one of them the 13th C Pont Vieux) lead to the Ville Basse or lower town, which is laid out on a regular grid and ringed by boulevards. The central feature is the Place Carnot, in which is the Neptune Fountain (1770). To the north is the Gothic church of St- Vincent (14th C), with an unfinished tower and a beautiful main doorway. To the south is the Cathedral of St-Michel (13th C, restored), with fine 14th C windows and a treasury.
Musée des Beaux-Arts
In Carcassonne, southeast of the Place Carnot is the Musée des Beaux-Arts, which contains works by Chardin, Gamelin, Rigaud, Constant and others and a ceramic collection.
The Cité, the fortified upper town, lies at the height of the 148m/485ft. Elliptical in plan. It is surrounded by a double circuit of walls with 54 towers. The fortifications, dating in part from the Visigothic period and strengthened in 1170, by Louis IX in 1250 and by Philip the Bold in 1280, remained unscathed until the French Revolution.
Porte Narbonnaise
There are only two entrances to Carcassonne Cité, the twin-towered Porte Narbonnaise and the Porte d'Aude. The interior is a maze of winding lanes. On the west side is the Château Comtal, originally built about 1125 and enlarged in the 13th C; it abuts on the inner circuit of walls and could be defended on its own. It now houses a museum on the history of the stronghold, with a small lapidary collection. From the battlements there are wide views.
St Nazaire
Within the Carcasonne Cité is the former Cathedral of St-Nazaire, built between the 11th and 14th centuries and later extensively restored. The west front was once part of the Visigothic fortifications. The Gothic choir (13th-14th C) contains 22 statues, 14th-15th C windows and a number of important tombs, including that of Simon de Montfort.
Carcassonne Festival
This annual festival runs throughout the month of July with a wide variety of events. Everything from jazz to classical music and from modern dance to ballet is included in venues such as the Grand Théâter, the Comtal Château and the Saint Nazare Basilica.
Medieval Festival
This annual month-long festival takes place in August, when the town of Carcassonne reverts back to the Middle Ages. Residents wear period costumes and display traditional crafts in stalls set up throughout the town. The festival also includes traditional feasts and entertainment.
Bastille Day
France has fireworks displays in all the major cities on Bastille Day (July 14).The main display is in Paris, where fireworks are held at the Trocadero near the Eiffel Tower. The other major displays are in Lyons, Marseilles and Carcassonne.
Château Comtal
Once a separate palace, this chateau was integrated into the hilltop fortress when Caracassone became part of France. A lapidary museum contains sculptures and other objects of the region.
Troubadours in Carcassonne
This annual two-week festival takes place in mid-June and includes theatrical and musical performances showcasing medieval times. All the events take place within the walled city, adding a touch of authenticity to the festival.

Just 2 miles from the southern entrance of Yosemite National Park sits a post that passed from homesteader to cowboy to Mike and Sherry Knapp, who dubbed it Yosemite Trails Pack Station 70 years ago. Since then, three generations of Knapps have run the station, but it remains as isolated and wildlife rich as it was in 1966. Today, Larry Knapp and his team still raise cattle as well as american quarter and american paint horses in the Sierra Nevada mountains, getting them acclimated to the rocky terrain so that they can safely carry patrons on trail rides. Trails wind through Big Creek, the Vista Pass, and even venture into Yosemite's Mariposa Grove, thick with millennia-old redwood trees. Days on horseback often culminate in cowboy cookouts with hot dogs, s'mores, and photos of ex-boyfriends roasted over the campfire. When summer fades to winter, guests can still enjoy the mountain-lined horizon on sleighs drawn by belgian draft horses.
The owners of 7Star Rental wield more than 20 years of boating experience to equip ocean and lake adventurers of all levels for an active day on the water. Knowledgeable staffers can harness equipment such as wakeboards and inner tubes to all-fiberglass Tigé and Centurion-brand boats, or loan out a fishing vessel with plenty of storage space for bait and tackle. Events such as fishing trips and wakeboarding lessons help watersports newbies get their feet wet. In addition, Sea-Doos carry wave wranglers through California's many lakes, delta waterways, and Guinness World Record–breaking goldfish bowls.
For more than 25 years, the paddling captains at Sunshine Rafting Adventures have navigated the Stanislaus River's collection of rushing haystack rapids and shady straight-aways. The team specializes in low-risk, family-oriented rafting trips, and they organize packages that equip guests with necessary paddles and life jackets. To begin each 8-mile float, the team launches rafts near the historic Knights Ferry covered bridge—the longest covered bridge west of the Mississippi River. Guests then paddle along various features, including the Class II Russian rapids, the sharp turns of the Throw Rapids, and the lava cliffs of The Two Bluffs, where cliff swallows build hundreds of mud nests each summer. In addition, Sunshine Rafting Adventures orchestrates yoga trips and retreats along the riverbanks, pairing the exercise of paddling with the serene feeling of doing headstands with squirrels.
Visitors traveling through Challenger Learning Center's exhibits may feel they've fallen down Alice's rabbit hole. One moment, they're as tiny as a nanobot as they gaze at nanotechnology components developed for medicine, electronics, and space elevators. The next, they're giants who could bat the whole planet around with one well-aimed jump—that is, if the planet is the NASA projection globe across whose surface features of the sun, moon, and Earth flow in vivid color.
Other exhibits take visitors far out, with images snapped by the Hubble Space Telescope or deep inside, with the Body Plaza's skeletons, x-rays, and organ models. A wide slate of interactive programming engages youngsters' problem-solving and teamwork skills with activities such as simulated space missions, where they keep the astronauts entertained over the radios at mission control or assemble probes in the spacecraft while hurtling toward Mars.
A lone runner emerges on the horizon, covered completely in mud that falls from his arms in chunks. He soldiers up a hill, stopping only briefly before throwing himself between hanging car tires swaying from ropes. He's smiling a big, goofy grin as he's battered by the tires and exhausted by the distance—but he wouldn't be here if he wasn't up for the challenge. Sierra Recon's muddy courses traverse 4-, 7-, and 11-mile stretches with walls, beams, nets, and ice awaiting runners between the starting line and the after party. The race, which boasts at least two such creative obstacles each mile, attracts both daredevils and their enthusiastic entourages, who holler their encouragement from a dry deck with views of the course. Runners can choose both their difficulty and distance for the race, though all routes promise mud and creative obstacles built by licensed contractors.
A flock of mallards swoops over the lake, while in the hills above, california valley quail forage in the brush. Each year, gamekeepers release thousands of fowl onto Camanche Hills Hunting Preserve's 1,500 acres, all of which is meticulously designed to re-create the birds' natural habitats. Overseeing a licensing program that prevents crowding in each zone, gamekeepers open the grounds for daily hunts and can even supply hunting dogs with handlers. To help sportsmen refine their hunting skills, instructors lead safety courses and show outdoorsman the most stylish ways to wear hunter orange. The preserve also encompasses three 10-station sporting-clays course, as well as a grouse bunker, two lighted five-stand courses, and a range for trap and skeet shooting.
A clubhouse gives guests a place to relax, and a kitchen opens for breakfast and lunch—days vary depending on the season. It also houses a pro shop, complete with a gun maker experienced in the English tradition of gun fitting, as well as a sporting gun engraver. The preserve also neighbors the Camanche North Shore Recreation Area, which offers lodging, campgrounds, and further outdoor recreation such as horseback riding and fishing. Other nearby attractions range from historic gold rush sites to vineyards.

"Rejoice, guys, Jesus lives!"Audio Podcast of the Homily for Sunday's ReadingsMarch 23, 2008, Second Sunday in Ordinary Time (A)By Fr. Philip Merdinger
The National Fellowship of Catholic Men (NFCM) and the Catholic Men's Fellowship of Pittsburgh (CMFPitt) have joined forces to bring you this audio reflection of the upcoming Sunday Mass Readings. The reflection is from the perspective of Catholic male spirituality. We are also pleased to collaborate with other Catholic Men's ministries to reach Catholic men throughout the United States with these podcasts.

CLICK HERE to listen to the audio podcast of the week's homily.
Father Philip Merdinger, B.H., is a priest of the Archdiocese of Boston. In addition he is the founder of the Brotherhood of Hope and chaplain for the National Fellowship of Catholic Men. Ordained for the Archdiocese of Newark in 1964, he moved to the Archdiocese of Boston in 1995. Father comes to us with extensive experience and expertise in retreat work. He has ministered in retreat work throughout the country, and the Brotherhood of Hope sponsors retreats for men in Massachusetts and Florida, and offers spiritual support to Clergy, Religious, and Seminarians. Fr. Philip is also a popular speaker at Catholic men's conferences. The Brotherhood of Hope, established in 1980, is a canonically recognized Catholic community of brothers and priests consecrated to Christ, dedicated to evangelization, and committed to a life together as a spiritual family. Their focus is a deep personal relationship to Jesus Christ, our All-Sufficiency, lived in the vows of chastity, poverty and obedience. A major part of its mission is an outreach to Catholic men and to young men and women at several college campuses. For Catholic men, the members of the brotherhood facilitate the development of parish-based men's groups, minister at men's conferences, and lead retreats.

WASHINGTON — Federal agents arrested dozens of members of the white supremacist Aryan Brotherhood of Texas on Friday and charged them with murder, kidnapping, racketeering and conspiracy to distribute methamphetamine and cocaine.
A 43-page federal indictment unsealed by the Justice Department names 34 members of the violent organized crime group who have been charged, including four of its senior leaders.
"ABT uses extreme violence and threats of violence to maintain internal discipline and retaliate against those believed to be cooperating with law enforcement," said Assistant Attorney General Lanny Breuer. "Through violence and intimidation, ABT allegedly exerts control over prison populations and neighborhoods, and instills fear in those who come in contact with its members."
As an example, Breuer said that alleged ABT leader Kelly Ray Elley and others ordered subordinates to kill a prospective member and to make the killing "as messy as possible" to send a message to gang members not to cooperate with law enforcement. Elley also allegedly ordered gang members to return the man's severed finger as a trophy.
"Today's takedown represents a devastating blow to the leadership of ABT," Breuer said.
In an investigation led by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, more than 170 law enforcement agents fanned out across Texas and North Carolina on Friday to arrest 14 of the 34 ABT members who were charged. Another 15 were already in custody, and five remain at large.

Staining of BALB/c splenocytes with 0.25 ug of Armenian Hamster IgG Isotype Control Purified (cat....View More
Description: The HM48-1 monoclonal antibody reacts with the mouse CD48 antigen; also known as BCM1, Blast-1 (human), and OX-45 (rat). CD48, a member of the SLAM family and Ig superfamily, is a 45 kDa GPI-linked glycoprotein expressed on the majority of hematopoietic cells. Recent publications have reported differential expression of members of the SLAM family including CD48, CD150, and CD244 among functionally distinct bone marrow hematopoietic progenitors providing a useful tool for prediction of the primitiveness of hematopoietic progenitors based on the expression of these SLAM family members. Hematopoietic stem cells (HSC) are highly purified as CD150(+)CD244(-)CD48(-) cells while non-self-renewing multipotent hematopoietic progenitors (MPP) are CD244(+)CD150(-)CD48(-) and the most restricted progenitors are CD48(+)CD244(+)CD150(-). CD48 plays a critical role in adhesion and T cell activation. In the mouse, the primary counter-receptors for CD48 are CD2 and CD244. HM48-1 is reported to modulate in vitro and in vivo CD48 functions including blocking the CD48/CD2 and CD48/CD244 interactions, inhibiting the proliferative response of mitogen-activated spleen cells, providing a costimulation signal for T cells activated in vitro through their TCR, and prolonging cardiac allograft survival in vivo.

It's a digital world except for the microphones and the loudspeakers, and that's why I love being on the loudspeaker end. Because more and more it's going to reside in the processing, digitally, on the network, and it's all going to be about the control interface, the flat panel or the heads-up screens, but the input transducers and the output transducers are still going to need to convert those bits to sound pressure fields.
The recent installation of a QSC Q-Sys Core 250i processing and management system has significantly improved sound quality and user control to the bar, restaurant, lounge and lobby areas of the boutique Tribeca Grand Hotel.
"I think the corporation Harman overall, as well as Harman Professional and JBL Professional, have more of a focus on the intellectual property part of this because it's such a fast-paced and connected worldwide marketplace in terms of being able to be aware of what other people are doing, what other developments are happening."
Seven Lakes High School has one of the most prestigious theatre programs in the Houston, TX region, while its Performing Arts Center (PAC) plays host to several school and out-of-house productions each year.
There are tales of longevity in the pro audio industry, and then there are epics. Beginning in 1976, Mark Gander joined the JBL crusade as a transducer engineer, and since that time he has made a journey through various roles in engineering, product development, and marketing.

This was the first year I noticed monarchs at my home. I planted 6 butterfly bushes (4 different varieties) a few years ago and have always enjoyed the butterflies that visited them, but I never saw more than one or two monarchs. This year I had a "wild" vine start growing up around the lattice on my front porch. I didn't know what it was until late in August, when I noticed 15+ monarch cats on it. It's Sand Vine. I collected 5 cats. Two died during there last shed and one died in the pupa phase. Two emerged and I tagged them and released them Sept. 5.
Today, I found a monarch butterfly on one of my butterfly bushes with curled wing tips. At first I thought it had just emerged. We had a good hard rain overnight and it was very cool so I brought it inside. Now, several hours later, its wing tips are still curled. Is this a deformity? Does it happen very often?

RTL in Markdown!-WordPress
markdown is great but it doesnt support "rtl"! you can't write languages like Persian or Arabic or Hebrew with just having Markdown and basic html ability!! for solving this i want to allow my users to write unfiltered html for having a paragraph with dir="rtl"! i know its not cool to let users having unfiltered html but i dont have another choice! my question is: is there any other way to have direction=right to left without letting everyone else unfiltered html ability?! or is unfiltered html ability a bad thing to do in WordPress?!
This thread has some good info about a JavaScript port of Markdown that added right-to-left support: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2258028/rtl-in-markdown/.
thanks @tomrogers123 but it's just JS and not actual HTML that stores in database!
Still, if this is the only option, you could post it via an AJAX call, couldn't you?
@tomrogers123 you are right man! :) i think about it and i understand that i can simply use rtl (and css) in comment sections to show user comments in right to left format! as easy as a pie! :)

Meet the cast for "The Ultimate Fighter 12," field includes 28 lightweights
by MMAjunkie.com Staff on Aug 03, 2010 at 12:00 pm ET
The show, which features UFC welterweight champion Georges St-Pierre and title-challenger Josh Koscheck as coaches, debuts Sept. 15 on Spike TV.
Cast members – who come from the U.S., Ireland and England – are as young as 21 and as old as 35, and notables include J.J. Ambrose, Jonathan Brookins, Mike Budnik, Nam Phan, Ariel Sexton and others who have big-stage experience.
As with the most recent season of the UFC's long-running reality series, "TUF 12" uses a 32-slot, 28-man tournament format. The group was cut in half by an immediate elimination-round of fights, and the remaining 14 fighters comprise the show's official cast. Two of the 14 fighters who lose in the first round get second chances in the tournament's second round as "wild card" picks. (Kris McCray, who competed on "TUF 11," was the show's runner-up after capitalizing on his wild-card status.)
See the complete list of "TUF 12" competitors below.

According to Rome police reports, the Friday burglaries are believed to have happened sometime between 4:15 and 5:30 p.m. They were discovered when a couple returned home from dinner and were unable to get inside their home.
Police were forced to break down the door, and once inside they discovered the apartment ransacked. Further evidence led officers to two other apartments, one of which was empty.
Police reported they were able to recover some costume jewelry and purses and return them to their owner in one apartment. But a black .22 caliber handgun, more than $7,400 in jewelry, $600 in cash and other items remain missing.
Officers found all three apartments broken into with the chain locks on the front door in place and two of the apartments ransacked.

Our film screening this month is Bad Boy Bubby (Director Rolf de Heer) which will be curated by Safina Uberoi.

Bad Boy Bubby
Directed by Rolf de Heer
Cast Claire Benito, Ralph Cotterill, Nicholas Hope, Rachael Huddy, Carmel Johnson, Norman Kaye, Celine O'Leary etc.
Length: 114 mins
Language: English
Curated by Safina Uberoi
Date: 27th March, 2009
Time: 4:30 pm
Venue: Seminar Room, CSDS
This Australian cult film draws extremely dark humor from the story of Bubby, a man who has spent the first 35 years of his life locked in a disgusting basement by his abusive, controlling mother. Having been taught that the outside air is poisonous and that leaving home is sinful, he only realizes the truth when his long-absent father returns to disrupt the already twisted family unit. A tragic confrontation follows, forcing Bubby into the real world. Knowing nothing about life, and undoubtedly suffering from mental disturbance, he stumbles about the city, speaking in a rambling monologue made up mainly of overheard phrases. His behavior is interpreted in different ways by the people he encounters: some think him insane, while others equate his strange speech and erratic behavior with brilliance. The edgy lead performance by Nicholas Hope is key to the film's success, managing to make Bubby a figure that is both sympathetic and at times quite frightening.
Bad Boy Bubby will be curated by Safina Uberoi, a well known Indian filmmaker based in Australia. Safina Uberoi trained at the Mass Communication Research Center in Jamia Millia Islamia in New Delhi. In 1995 she left India to study in the Australian Film Television and Radio School. Her short films made there include the award winning Nonno Peppe is a Video Head and Guru. She has taught in Australia at the Macquarie University, the Australian Film TV and Radio school, the Sydney International Film School, the National Institute of Dramatic Art. In india, she has taught at The National School of Drama and given lectures at MCRC, Jamia Millia Islamia. Internationally, she has screened her films and conducted master classes at a number of Universities including New York University, De Paul University in Chicago, University of Los Angeles, University of Westminster and the London School of Economics.

Quote, originally posted by b2m_vw » or Fig Newtons across the windshield. Anyone think Kyle Busch is somewhat like Ricky Bobby? Not in a way that he is funny (sometimes he is), but for the reason he'll say he's better than everyone out there and for the most part backs it up. Also because he talks smack over the radio.
he's definitely a "big" personality. and he does kind of have a "if you're not first, you're last" mentality. I can't really picture him being happy with anything other than a win.
before this season started, i had an intense dislike for kyle busch, stemming from richmond when he wrecked jr. but after his announcement of possible joining f1, i find myself rooting for him to win a championship, simply because i'd really like to see a top-nascar driver try f1. so, bring on the wins kyle!

Not a good purchase

About Me Career
Comments about Wilsons Leather Pelle Studio Roma Leather Pushlock Double Handle Tote:
When I hear the word tote I expect a bag that will fit a full size computer, file folders, a planner, etc. I am new in the business world and wanted a tote bag to use for work and was excited when I found this. When I got it, I realized it is the size of a handbag, not a tote bag (or what I think a tote bag is). I was very disappointed.
Beautiful bag

Cute red purse
By Bee
from Houston
About Me Classic, Practical
The purse is cute and the color is beautiful. The straps could be a little longer to be used as a shoulder bag. The reviews warned me about the straps but I like the purse anyway. And yes it would be great to have "feet" on the bottom to protect the leather. The purse could be a little larger in order for me to use it as an everyday bag, but I am enjoying it anyway.

Great medium size purse for the price
By drama teacher
from Midwest
About Me Modern
Great purse as long as you don't mind the open style; it doesn't zip or clasp shut. I love the color, and since I don't like a big purse or carry a lot of things with me, it works great.
By Cougar Gal
from Erie, PA
About Me Comfort-Oriented, Practical
I have been looking for just this size and style of purse for a very long time. I am considering getting another in a different color. I can't believe how perfect for me this bag is. Thank you!!!
Too small for my use.

Roomy and chic
By 1 bag lady
from Mebane, NC
About Me Career, Comfort-Oriented
Since I never change handbags until one is completely useless, this bag needed to be versatile for everything that I wear and do. So far, it is. I got the burgundy bag; I use the front pocket to store my smartphone so it is easily accessible. It would be nice if the bag had a zipper instead of the magnetic closure strap. That way my contents wouldn't fall out as easy.

Eating disorders are complex conditions that arise from a combination of long-standing behavioral, emotional, psychological, interpersonal, biological and social factors. While eating disorders may begin with preoccupations with food and weight, they are about much more than food.
While eating disorders are serious, potentially life-threatening illnesses, there is help available and recovery really is possible. If you or someone you know is struggling with an eating disorder contact the Western Michigan Eating Disorders Treatment Team at Sindecuse Health Center, 387-3290.
