Name: Tim Meisenheimer
Location: Illinois
Profession: COO, CMO, Financial Advisor
Company: Streamline Financial Services
Website: www.streamlineplanning.com
Twitter: @streamlinefin
The Story:
Streamline Financial Services is a next-generation financial services firm hoping to take the world by storm with a forward-thinking, tech-savvy approach. We caught up with Tim, an advisor who joined the Streamline team about 3 years ago to work alongside his brother and founder/CEO, Toby. As Streamline continues to expand, Tim and the team needed a password management tool that provided robust sharing features and secure syncing capabilities. Within one week of using LastPass Enterprise, all team members were up and running with an account, and hundreds of company logins were centrally organized.
Where do you use LastPass?
At the office, our employees use both Windows PCs and Macs, but thanks to the syncing power of LastPass they can access their account from any number of computers and mobile devices when at work, at home, or on the move.
- Multi-platform environments with Macs and Windows
- Chrome, Internet Explorer
- Web login
- iPhone, iPad
How do you use LastPass?
- For centrally managing data and sharing company logins across the team
When our company was much smaller, Toby managed all logins and other online account data with a personal password management system that only he had direct access to. Individual and company data was mixed together, and as tasks were spread out over the team it was a hassle getting the most up-to-date data from the right person. When we started bringing on more people and our company logins numbered over 300, it was essential to have a central repository that allowed us to keep passwords consistent across everyone's systems. A week into our trial with LastPass Enterprise, we had shared folders set up to separate individual and company logins, and to group company logins for easy sharing. The shared folders can be pushed out to team members who need access to a given set of sites, and any changes or added data are automatically made available to the team – it's the definition of "seamless sharing". With central management from the admin console, we have the added ability of then reviewing actions and updates, so we're also better aware of how company data is being used.
- For providing universal access:
We're in love with LastPass' ability to install anywhere and provide universal access to our data. Our team is mobile between multiple office locations and home, so the go-anywhere convenience of syncing with LastPass has been an enormous benefit. We know we'll have our data when we need it, no matter where we are.
- For additional security:
With LastPass, we've been able to focus on the strength of our master password as the key factor in securing our accounts. It's a lot easier for team members to remember one strong password and then leave the rest to LastPass for generating, storing, and retrieving unique passwords across all of our logins. Team members can use the timed log off features in the browser addon to ensure that when stepping away from a computer or shutting down for the night, their LastPass session is terminated. LastPass provides an impressive range of customizable security options, with two-step authentication and a number of policies in Enterprise, so we know we can adjust our security requirements depending on the needs of our team and the data being stored.
- For seeing just how much time LastPass saves us:
We get a kick out of reviewing the graphs in the Enterprise admin console. One week we had a total 601 logins. If you figure one login would normally take about 15 seconds to type and submit manually (given you don't forget the username or password), LastPass saved us some 2.5 hours that week – just recalling, typing, and submitting passwords. That's 2.5 hours of repetitive tasks that our team was able to eliminate and spend being more productive.
LastPass To The Rescue:
We found ourselves in a situation about a year ago when LastPass played a crucial role in keeping company operations running smoothly. You may recall the big storm that swept through the Midwest in February 2011 – newspaper headlines featured images of storefront windows blown out in Chicago and stretches of highway where dozens of cars were abandoned as people tried to make their way home. We were unable to go into the office following the storm, so our team was forced to work remotely. To help our administrator work from home, I was able to remote view into her computer and within 15 minutes had her set up with all the tools she would need to work that day, most importantly LastPass. Everyone was able to keep up with clients and projects despite the circumstances.
LastPass is a game changer; it's truly become an indispensable tool for me and my team.

Investigators say a dean at a New York City high school had sex with four students and sexually harassed four others.
The report released Tuesday by the special commissioner of investigation for city schools says 31-year-old Malik Taylor had sex with the teenage students in classrooms, in motels and in his car.
Taylor resigned from his job at the Business of Sports School in Manhattan in May.
U.S. & World
A Department of Education spokeswoman said Taylor's actions are "completely reprehensible" and he will never work in city schools again.
The special commissioner's office is referring Taylor's case to the Manhattan and Brooklyn district attorney's offices because one of the students was 16. The legal age of consent in New York is 17.
It was not clear if Taylor had a lawyer.

A watch is only as good as how well it fits.
Download the appropriate guide below to gauge the dimensions of your favorite timepiece against your natural wrist size.
Insider Tips from the Fit Expert
While you're considering the width and circumference of your timepiece, also remember that different materials have different weights. Stainless steel and precious metal bracelets are heavier than silicone and leather.
Consider your wardrobe. For the gentleman who prefers button-downs, an oversized watch can be difficult to wear with moderately-sized cuffs. Many men find a smaller watch size preferable for this look.
When evaluating case thickness, the industry defines 6-8 mm as "thin", 8-12 mm as "average", and 14-18 mm as "thick." These ranges are good reference points to remember as you go through our guide.

ForumsQuestionsover-assigning my time
over-assigning my time
I have a couple of quick questions, and I have been trying to figure things out for myself here and think I must be missing some important information.
1.) When I assign a due date to something, I often do so randomly, just so I finally start accomplishing things and making headway in life. But when I pick that "random" due date, I haven't found a way in Toodledo to see if that day already has 637 other things assigned to it, or if it's even a day I have open to schedule anything on at all. Are there ways to view things on a calendar like that? It would be really ideal I guess if each thing or group of things that was assigned was assigned a "time slot", and that slot was then blocked off so you couldn't overschedule yourself. Also . . . I'd love to take maybe one day a week and schedule nothing into it so I could have overflow time for unfinished jobs. As it stands right now, my "past due" list gets longer and longer each day, and I don't want to keep re-assigning things to other days willy-nilly until I find a way to make assigning a little less arbitrary.
2.) Also . . . if jobs are daily jobs . . . is there a way to have them roll into the next day when they haven't been done. So on Monday night if I don't "run dishwasher", do I really need to check it off as done to see it on Tuesday's list? I would think that by the time I refresh my screen on Tuesday morning, it should just be in the Tuesday job list. Toodledo knows it's a new day, toodledo also knows the box is unchecked, and Toodledo knows it's a daily task. So theoretically there must be a way for the task to just roll over, right?
Thanks all!
Toodledo Founder
1) I always recommend that people only use due-dates for hard dates, like appointments. If you are just picking an arbitrary date, then it cause cause lot of past due tasks that build up and cause to-do list fatigue. I recommend using priority and status instead, and then doing a weekly review of your list and marking tasks that you want to do that week with a star. Thats how I do it at least, and it works for me.
2) You can do this with an optional task: http://www.toodledo.com/info/help.php?sel=119
Thank you Jake. That is all very helpful indeed.

Can tasks with no due date repeat?
How does the logic for that work?

I think I may have answered my own question...
If a task has a start date with no end date and it set to repeat then the task will roll forward based on the repeat schedule but will have no due date and won't show in the hotlist unless it is a certain priority (2 or above). it will be listed under started which mean my hotlist will get smaller but will be an actual "hotlist" when i complete those items, I can reference them from the started list.
do I have that right?
This message was edited Dec 05, 2012.
Toodledo Founder
Yes, I believe you have it right. A task can repeat from either a start-date or due-date.
Posted: Dec 06, 2012
I solved the issue of having to rollover unfinished tasks by using the Hotlist as my main view. I have defined the Hotlist to be:
a priority of at least 3 (which I never use) and
a due date within the next 1 days - which captures everything overdue or due today.
Simple and it seems to work.

One of my jobs while in Goshen and Elkhart Indiana was to search microfilms for obituaries. I found this obituary of Louis K. Hawks (son of Dwight and Estella Burns Hawks) whose cause of death was somewhat suspicious.
Since I have always been a cat person, in our household if anything ever went wrong, my husband always blamed the cat. Consequently I laughed out loud (sorry library patrons) when I read Louis' obit that included one of the theories for the cause of his death was that the blind collie dog was the culprit!
Louis K. Hawks Found Dead: Overcome by Gas
Body Discovered in Bed by Wife Saturday Evening
Coroner Gives Verdict of Accidental Death After Making Investigation
Louis K. Hawks, 34 years old, son of Dwight H. Hawks, well known Goshen druggist, was found dead in bed at his home, 306 Wilkinson street, by his wife, shortly after six o'clock Saturday evening. Death had been caused by asphyxiation and was accidental, according to the verdict announcement by Coroner Eugene Holdeman, of Elkhart, after the inquest Saturday evening. Gas escaping from a detached hose connection for a small heater in the bedroom had filled the house and overcome Mr. Hawks while he was asleep, it is believed.
Mr. Hawks was employed as a salesman for the Standard Chemical Co. for the past several months, and assisted his father at the Hawks Drug Store on Saturday evenings. Prior to his employment as a salesman, he had been employed regularly at the drug store. Because he had expected to work late Saturday night, Mr. Hawks had gone to bed at one o'clock in the afternoon. When his wife, who is employed at the Elkhart County Trust Co., returned home a few minutes after six o'clock, she discovered the house full of gas and immediately went to her husband's bedroom. She found that he was dead, and it was afterwards learned when an examination was made that he had been dead for several hours.
Several theories as to the accident have been advanced, but the coroner's verdict merely stated that he had met his death accidentally from asphyxiation. It is possible that the gas hose may have been disconnected when the pressure was low and the escaping gas was not noticed and it was also suggested that the hose, which ran past the door to the bedroom may have been disconnected by a blind collie dog which was kept in the Hawks home, as he entered or left the room. The dog was in the house when Mrs. Hawks arrived, and apparently was little affected by the gas. The door leading to the bedroom, and also another door leading to the bathroom were both partially open, and the entire house was filled with gas.
Mr. Hawks is survived only by his wife and his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Dwight H. Hawks. He was born in Goshen, and had been a resident of this city all his life.
Episcopal funeral services will be held Tuesday afternoon at two o'clock at the home of Mr. Hawks' parents, 218 North Third Street and the body will then be placed in a receiving vault at Oak Ridge Cemetery. Mr. Hawks was a member of St. James Episcopal Church of Goshen. He was also a member of the local company of state militia and plans are being made to have the company attend the funeral in a body.
Rev. Roland of Chicago will assist Rev. Weeks in the funeral services.

The Obama administration, four short months into its second term, finds itself beset by three political storms.
Republicans in Congress, some Democrats and the press are pelting the White House with questions about the raid on an American post in Libya, the conduct of the Internal Revenue Service and the seizure of phone records from The Associated Press.
Taken together, the three have consumed the week in Washington. Here's a quick guide.
The basics: Four Americans, including the ambassador to Libya, were killed in a raid on a diplomatic post in the city of Benghazi on Sept. 11, 2012. The State Department ultimately determined that the raid was a series of terrorist attacks.
Republicans have made an array of accusations, including that the administration failed to send the military to help, waited too long to consistently describe the raid as a terror attack, and extensively edited talking points for media appearances.
The White House response: President Barack Obama, exasperated, dismissed the Republican furor over the talking points earlier this week as a politically motivated "sideshow."
The administration has also said that sending the military was logistically impossible and would have left other American interests undefended. Obama said within hours of the raid that "acts of terror" would not be tolerated. On Thursday, he pledged increased security for diplomatic posts.
Accused of changing its public stance on the raid because of political reasons — the presidential election was less than two weeks away — the administration released 100 pages of emails and other documents Wednesday shedding light on how the talking points were changed.
The stakes: The political stakes are increasingly focused on Hillary Clinton's potential run for the presidency in 2016. Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky. and himself a possible candidate, accused Clinton of "dereliction of duty" at a speech in Iowa over the weekend.
American Crossroads, Karl Rove's political action committee, released an ad draping Clinton in dark shadows and grainy black-and-white photos and accusing her of a cover-up. The ad ends with an invitation to donate to American Crossroads.
What's next: More questions from Republicans, despite the administration's insistence that there is little if anything left to explain.
Rep. Darrell Issa, R-Calif., who has accused the administration of lying and believing itself to be above the law, wants to interview former Ambassador Thomas Pickering, one of the leaders of the review board.
The basics: Employees of the Internal Revenue Service singled out Tea Party groups and other conservative organizations for special scrutiny in reviewing applications for tax exemption.
Republicans want to know whether anyone in the administration knew about it — to date there is no evidence that they did — and have suggested the government was punishing political enemies.
The White House stance: Obama on Wednesday ousted the acting head of the IRS, Steven Miller, and said: "Americans have a right to be angry about it, and I'm angry about it."
The president acted after a Treasury Department investigation faulted the IRS for using "inappropriate criteria" in picking which organizations to scrutinize. The report also said that "ineffective management" allowed the criteria to stay in place.
Asked Thursday whether he supported the appointment of a special prosecutor, Obama said he believed working with Congress to investigate would be sufficient.
The stakes: Republicans and Democrats alike have expressed. Republicans appear to be coalescing around an insistence that it shows a pattern of intimidation by the administration.
"The unifying themes of this town are an arrogance and view of the machinery of government to be a tool of partisanship," Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas and a Tea Party favorite, said Thursday.
Besides demanding hearings, they are likely to use that argument in the 2014 midterm elections. In addition, Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., said that the IRS ordeal could hurt the push for immigration reform in Congress.
"We've already faced tremendous suspicion about the federal government's ability or willingness to enforce the law," Rubio said.
What's next: Attorney General Eric Holder has pledged a nationwide investigation. Federal prosecutors are looking at potential violations of law, including civil rights statutes and a federal law that restricts political activities by federal employees.
There are at least three congressional hearings scheduled, beginning with the House Ways and Means Committee on Friday.
The basics: The Justice Department secretly seized two months of records from more than 20 telephone lines used by reporters and editors for The Associated Press last year.
The seizure was apparently connected to a federal investigation into who leaked classified information about a foiled terror plot in Yemen that the AP reported on in May 2012. The AP has angrily objected and demanded further explanation.
The White House stance: The deputy attorney general who is overseeing the investigation insisted in a letter to the AP that the seizure was limited in scope and that the content of calls was not monitored.
Holder, who has recused himself from the investigation, said Tuesday that the leak "put the American people at risk" and was among the most serious he has seen in 37 years as a prosecutor.
The stakes: Media organizations have said that the seizure will intimidate whistle-blowers. As in the IRS furor, Republicans are seeking to portray an administration bent on overreaching. Democrats have joined the criticism, too.
Sen. Jon Tester of Montana said Wednesday that the Justice Department's steps were "a blatant violation of privacy, and directly interfere with the constitutionally protected rights of the press to do its job free from government intrusion or direction."
What's next: Under fire, the Obama administration is pushing to revive legislation that would enhance protections for journalists when they refuse to name confidential sources.
A White House official called Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., to ask him to reintroduce the legislation, known as a media shield law. Schumer said that the bill at least would have ensured a fairer process in the AP leak.
But Obama stressed Thursday that he makes no apology for being concerned about leaks that jeopardize American missions.

We begin our "Excuses, Excuses" series with a common refrain, "I sweat a lot and I will smell if I ride to work." Heard that one before?
I can understand the paranoia surrounding bromhidrosis. Personal hygiene is a multi-billion dollar industry — playing off our fears.
These fears are unfounded. If body odor is an issue, believe me, someone will let you know.
Here's why it's not so much a concern as you think. Two types of sweat are produced: by nerves and by exercise. Nervous sweat has a bad odor, but body sweat from exercise, not so much, if at all. However, bacteria like sweat and they're what cause body odor.
Now I'm not one who sweats much, but most people sweat a fair amount even during mild exercise. Here's how commuters can manage their sweat. The only ride that matters is the one to work. What to do:
1) Leave early when it's cool, around 7 a.m.
2) Don't ride hard. Save the hard riding for heading home.
3) Keep a washcloth and a towel at work. Clean up in the bathroom at work. It's going to be early, so the bathroom will be empty. If you have a shower at work, that's a convenience, although it will take longer than using a washcloth.
4) Wear a clean jersey, if you wear cycling clothes.
5) Use deodorant. I like Tom's natural unscented. Perfume or cologne is another option.

Dental X-rays: What Do They Show?
When Do You Need X-rays?
Dental X-rays are a valuable diagnostic tool that are used to:
Have you ever wondered why dental X-rays are such an important part of your dental visits? Although visual examinations are important, they offer an incomplete picture of your dental health. X-rays help your dentist look beneath the surface to detect tooth decay and other hidden issues that could affect your oral health.
How Do X-rays Help My Dentist?
Dentist use X-rays to diagnose a variety of problems, including:
- Cavities. Small cavities do not cause pain and usually are not visible when your dentist examines your mouth. X-rays are very useful in detecting these cavities. When cavities are in the early stages, you'll only need a small filling, which means that the amount of healthy tissue that needs to be removed will be limited. X-rays also reveal cavities that develop between teeth.
- Abscesses. X-rays confirm the presence of abscesses or other infections. They can even help your dentist spot an abscess before it begins to cause pain, swelling and other symptoms. Without prompt treatment, the bacterial infection that causes a dental abscess can spread to other parts of your body.
- Tumors and Cysts. Dental X-rays show tumors and cysts that can form below the gum line or in other parts of your mouth and jaw. Most tumors and cysts are benign, but some can be cancerous.
- Bone Loss. Bone loss commonly occurs if you have advanced gum disease, although it can also happen for other reasons, such as an infection or tooth loss.
X-rays are also used to plan treatments or identify issues that could affect your oral health. Dentists use them to determine the condition of fillings, crowns, and bridges. They can also show impacted wisdom teeth, the absence of teeth, extra teeth beneath your gums, and malformed roots.
What Types of X-rays Does My Dentist Use?
Dentists commonly use four types of X-rays:
- Bite-wing. Bite-wing X-rays are used to X-ray small sections of your upper and lower teeth. During this type of X-ray, you bite down on a piece of film or a sensor shaped like a wing. These X-rays show teeth from the crown (the portion above the gum line) to the jawbone.
- Periapical X-rays. Dentists use periapical X-rays when they need to see the entire tooth from the root to the crown.
- Occlusal X-rays. Occlusal X-rays show all of your upper or lower teeth.
- Panoramic. During a panoramic X-ray, the machine rotates around your head. This type of X-ray is used when your dentist needs to see all of your teeth in one image. It's often used to help dentists get a good look at impacted teeth, determine if you your jawbone can support a dental implant or spot jaw problems.
Going Digital
Many dentists now use digital X-rays instead of traditional X-rays that must be developed. Because digital X-ray images are computerized, they are available in seconds. If your dentist notices an area of concern, he or she can enlarge, sharpen, and enhance the area on the computer screen to get a better look at the problem. When your dentist superimposes your previous digital X-rays onto your current X-rays, he or she can determine if there have been changes to your teeth since they last saw you.
Has it been a while since you have had X-rays or a dental exam? Call us today to schedule an appointment.

The nutshell play came with 5:16 to go. Villanova's JayVaughn Pinkston missed a second free throw, but UConn could not find a way to wrest the ball away.
It ended up out on the perimeter, James Bell hit a three-pointer, and the lead was back to six.
That's how the UConn team spent its Saturday afternoon at the XL Center, playing a shell game in which it could not keep pace, never seemed to get to the right spot. Villanova outrebounded the Huskies, rattled them, bottled them up and ultimately defeated them, 70-61, before 15,165, the largest crowd of the men's basketball season.
"It came down to a street fight out there," UConn coach Kevin Ollie said. "They threw it off the backboard and went and got it. We didn't make the hustle plays, the toughness plays that I want to see from my team."
The Wildcats, who have had an enigmatic season, outrebounded UConn 41-25, including 20-5 on the offensive side. When the Huskies couldn't rebound, they couldn't run. And when they were trapped in a half-court game, their guards, Shabazz Napier and Ryan Boatright, had nowhere to go. Napier scored two points and Boatright four, those four coming in the meaningless final 51 seconds.
"We can't afford to have both of them have bad shooting nights at the same time," said DeAndre Daniels, who scored 13.
Just three days after their exhilarating upset victory over sixth-ranked Syracuse, the Huskies (17-7, 7-5 in the Big East) returned to Earth, looking much closer to what they are — a good team, a hard-fighting team, but with flaws that can make things look ugly at times. UConn had 19 turnovers.
"We don't sit on our success," Napier said, "that's one thing I know for sure about this team. We just came out a little fragile today, without enough toughness."
Villanova (16-10, 7-6) had beaten Syracuse and Louisville, yet lost twice to Providence and, in the nonconference period, lost to Columbia. So this was Big East basketball at its most characteristic — unpredictable.
"UConn is a very good team," Villanova coach Jay Wright said. "That's why I'm excited about this. If I didn't have so much respect for them, this wouldn't be such a good win."
Freshman Ryan Arcidiacono scored 25 points for Villanova, sticking five of eight three-point attempts. Senior Mouphtaou Yarou led the Wildcats' dominance on the boards with 11 points and 16 rebounds.
The Huskies, with their surprising resume, have raised expectations for the final weeks of a season that will nevertheless end empty, with postseason ineligibility. When Napier drew his first foul after 16 seconds, and his second after 2:28, a hush fell over the XL Center — it was obvious that UConn would be in for a rough ride. They were scoreless for nearly 7 minutes before Napier returned, and with his passing, not his scoring, helped ignite a 16-3 run that put UConn in the lead, 33-30, at the half, despite the Huskies' getting not even one offensive rebound.
Daniels, Omar Calhoun (16 points) and others, such as little-used Leon Tolksdorf, who came in to nail a couple of threes, picked up the slack. But with Napier, who was averaging 16.9 points, and Boatright, 15.9, both scoreless, there was too much slack to be picked up.
"I got myself into foul trouble," Napier said. "I started looking for teammates. I wasn't too aggressive. I took a lot of threes, and I didn't see them connect, so I became more passive."
Wright, of course, was worried that UConn had a three-point lead without a point from their two top scorers. When Napier hit his first jumper of the second half, it seemed to portend one of his familiar spurts.
But Villanova's rebounding was preventing UConn from running. And its defense was clamping down on the guards, so that never materialized.
"Doing the job on them was the key," Wright said. "We played them as a team. Sometimes we trapped them. Sometimes we denied them. Sometimes we switched screens. We just had to focus on those two."
Villanova took control of the game with a 13-0 run midway through the second half. Calhoun, who was 9 of 9 from the line, made two to give UConn a 45-39 lead with 13:31 left, then Arcidiacono hit a three, Yarou a layup and Bell, following a steal, passed to Tony Chennault for a basket that put 'Nova back on top. Arcidiacono and Bell teamed up for an alley-oop, talking a page from the UConn backcourt playbook, and Arcidiacono's layup — he drove past Napier, who had to avoid fouling — made it 52-45 with 9:35 to go.
The Huskies had a run in them, and were within two, 54-52, after Tyler Olander's steal set up a Daniels layup, but Villanova's relentless board-crashing ruined UConn's party, and probably its hope of cracking the Top 25 in the polls on Monday and vying for the Big East regular season title.
"Twenty second-chance points," Ollie lamented as he perused the stat sheet. "Not going to win that way. … We'll be ready for Cincinnati [on Thursday]. I told my team, that's another team that's going to have the same recipe, so if we don't get tougher, it's going to be a tough road ahead."

Residents eager to take a dip in the countys newest lake will be disappointed to learn that the target opening date in summer 2013 could be pushed back.
Thats what Cathy Metz, director of parks and recreation in Durango, told members of the Animas-La Plata Water Conservancy District board this week about Lake Nighthorse.
The sparkling body of water, which has 1,500 surface acres when the reservoir is full, is off limits until a recreation manager is on the job. But there have been incidents of trespassing.
The reservoir southwest of town is going to be used, ready or not, board member Tom Brossia said.
You have no idea how adamant the public is about using the reservoir, Brossia said. There is a real groundswell.
Metz acknowledged the attraction of the reservoir. But she said the city first must negotiate a lease for the 5,500-acre site with the Bureau of Reclamation, which owns the land and built the reservoir.
Among other issues are the possible transfer of law-enforcement jurisdiction from the La Plata County Sheriffs Office to the Durango Police Department and to expand the citys urbanizing boundary, the first step to annexation.
City planning commissioners are scheduled to take up the latter matter on Nov. 26.
In answer to questions from board members, Metz said the city is beginning to review how regulations concerning smoking, use of alcohol and weed control would apply at the lake.
Metz said later that it was discovered that the proposed swim beach is near archaeological sites. The beach could be eliminated, moved or the archeological artifacts could be processed as was done at other sites before dam construction began.
Animas-La Plata Water Conservancy District board members almost 3½ years ago pledged $25,000 toward hiring a consultant to produce a recreation master plan for Lake Nighthorse, which was declared full.
It was enough of a catalyst to attract other funding sources for the effort. State Parks had begged off, saying it had higher priorities and was short of money.
After decades of negotiations, the Bureau of Reclamation built the reservoir, which has a capacity of 123,000 acre-feet, to settle Native American water claims. Nontribal entities in Colorado and New Mexico will share the water.
An acre-foot covers a football field to the depth of 1 foot.

When the Raven Flies
| 0 votes and 0 reviews Write a Review
In this energetic, Sergio Leone-style, mythological story, a young Irishman sets out to avenge the death of his parents at the hands of the Vikings.
When Gest (Jacob Thor Einarsson) was just a little boy in Ireland, his pacifist parents were brutally murdered and his sister kidnapped by Viking raiders, and now that he has come of age, he travels to Iceland and traces the helmeted rogues to their encampment.
After he arrives, he cunningly kills off several higher-ranking warriors which causes the two brothers who lead the band to quarrel among themselves, at first believing that these deaths were due to the anger of their gods.
Their internal dissention gives Gest needed opportunities to kill isolated men one by one but also leaves his sister with a dilemma because she has married the surviving leader and her loyalties are torn.

He joined the U.S. Army in 1791, served with General Anthony Wayne at the Battle of Fallen Timbers (1794), and was present at signing of Treaty of Greenville (1795). From Vincennes, he served as governor of Indiana Territory from 1800-1812, negotiating treaties with Indian tribes for millions of acres of land. Harrison commanded the U.S. Army in the Northwest during the War of 1812, defeating the British at the Battle of the Thames. He served in both houses of the U.S. Congress representing Ohio.

Thomas Jefferson to Benjamin Rush
"I wish to mention to you in confidence that I have obtained authority from Congress to undertake the long desired object of exploring the Missouri & whatever river, heading with that, leads into the Western ocean. About 10. chosen woodsmen headed by Capt. Lewis my secretary, will set out on it immediately & probably accomplish it in two seasons. Capt. Lewis is brave, prudent, habituated to the woods, & familiar with Indian manners & character. . . . It would be very useful to state for him those objects on which it is most desirable he should bring us information. For this purpose I ask the favor of you to prepare some notes of such particulars as may occur in his journey & which you think should draw his attention & enquiry" (Jackson, 1:18-19).
Meriwether Lewis
Meriwether Lewis was born in Virginia in 1774. At age 18, he was managing his plantation in Virginia. He joined the militia in 1794 and the U.S. Army in 1795.

Lewis was promoted to captain in 1800, and, in 1801, President Thomas Jefferson asked him to serve as his private secretary in Washington. Jefferson appointed Lewis to head the expedition to the Northwest in 1803. Lewis was appointed governor of the Louisiana Territory in 1807. He committed suicide in 1809 leaving the journals of the expedition unpublished (Ambrose, 19, 21, 29, 37, 42, 45, 50, 59, 80, 415, 465, 467).
