Diocese of Agder og Telemark

The Diocese of Agder og Telemark (Agder og Telemark bispedømme) is a diocese of the Church of Norway, covering all of Agder county and most of Vestfold og Telemark county in Norway. The cathedral city is Kristiansand, Norway's fifth largest city. Kristiansand Cathedral serves as the seat of the presiding Bishop. The bishop since 2013 has been Stein Reinertsen. As of 1 January 2003, there were 347,324 members of the Church of Norway in the diocese.

History
In 1125, the southern part of the Ancient Diocese of Bergen was split off as the Ancient Diocese of Stavanger. This new diocese stretched from the coast of Haugesund in the west to Gjernestangen between Risør and Kragerø, later the border stretched to Eidanger in the east. Stavanger was the cathedral city. During the Protestant Reformation, Norway became a Lutheran nation, establishing the Church of Norway. The diocesan boundaries remained the same.

Over time, however, the diocese was reduced in size. The parish of Eidfjord was transferred to the neighboring Diocese of Bjørgvin in 1630. The regions of Valdres and Hallingdal were transferred to the Diocese of Oslo in 1631, but in exchange, the Diocese of Oslo had to give the upper part of Telemark and transfer that to the Diocese of Stavanger.

In 1682 Christian V, King of Denmark-Norway, issued an order that the Bishop and the Prefect of the Diocese of Stavanger were to be moved to the Christianssand Cathedral, which had been consecrated in 1646 and which the King intended be perfect site for a new cathedral. The citizens of Stavanger protested, with the Prefect and the Bishop refusing to move and ignoring the order. It took two years before Christianssand was established as the new cathedral city. The diocese was renamed Diocese of Christianssand ("Christiansands stift").

On 1 January 1925, the Diocese of Kristiansand was divided and all of the diocese located in Rogaland county was moved to the newly re-established Diocese of Stavanger and the Stavanger Cathedral regained its place as the seat of a bishop. The remainder of the diocese was renamed "Diocese of Agder" and it continued to serve the counties of Aust-Agder, Vest-Agder, and Telemark. In 2005 the diocese was renamed again as the "Diocese of Agder og Telemark" to fully reflect the areas included in the diocese.

Kristiansand Cathedral
Kristiansand Cathedral is the headquarters of the Diocese of Agder and Telemark and it is the main parish church for the city of Kristiansand. In 1682, there was a small church built of wood on site in Kristiansand. A new cathedral was built of stone and consecrated by Bishop Hans Munch in 1696, but burned down in 1734. The city's second cathedral was consecrated in 1738 by Bishop Jacob Kærup. This cathedral was destroyed in the city fire of 1880.

The present church is the third cathedral in the city and the fourth church in the town square in Kristiansand. The church was built after a drawing by the architect Henrik Thrap-Meyer. The church is described as neo-gothic style. The building is 70 m long and 39 m wide, and the tower is 70 m high. The Cathedral has a beautiful wooden ceiling and six beautiful stained glass windows with Biblical themes.

In order to exploit the ancient walls of the church that burned in 1880, the altar was placed against the west, while the churches generally tend to have the altar in the east. Building work was completed on 1 February 1885. The church was consecrated on 18 March 1885 with Johan M. Brun as acting bishop.

Structure
The diocese is administratively divided into 9 deaneries spread out over two counties. Each deanery corresponds to one or more municipalities in the diocese. Each municipality has its own church council (kirkelige fellesråd}) and municipalities are made up of one or more parishes, each of which may contain one or more congregations. See each municipality below for lists of churches and parishes within them.

Georgius Merula

Georgius Merula (c. 1430 – 1494) was an Italian humanist and classical scholar.

Life
Merula was born in Alessandria in Piedmont. The greater part of his life was spent in Venice and Milan, where he held a professorship and continued to teach until his death. While he was teaching at Venice, he was the subject of a personal polemic by Cornelio Vitelli, directed at his scholarship; and Vitelli replaced him in 1483.

Works
Merula produced the editiones principes (first editions) of Plautus (1472), of the Scriptores rei rusticae, Cato, Varro, Columella, Palladius (1472) and possibly of Martial (1471). He also published commentaries on portions of Cicero (especially the De finibus), on Ausonius, Juvenal, Curtius Rufus, and other classical authors.

Merula wrote also Bellum scodrense (1474), an account of the siege of Shkodra (1474) (Scutari) by the Turks, and Antiquitates vicecomitum, The history of the Visconti, dukes of Milan, down to the death of Matteo the Great (1322). He violently attacked Politian (Poliziano), whose Miscellanea (a collection of notes on classical authors) were declared by Merula to be either plagiarized from his own writings or, when original, to be entirely incorrect.

Exabyte Corporation

Exabyte Corporation was a manufacturer of magnetic tape data storage products headquartered in Boulder, Colorado, United States. Exabyte Corp. is now defunct, but the company's technology is sold by Tandberg Data under both brand names. Prior to the 2006 demise, Exabyte offered tape storage and automation solutions for servers, workstations, LANs and SANs. Exabyte is best known for introducing the Data8 (8 mm) magnetic tape format in 1987. At the time of its demise, Exabyte manufactured VXA and LTO based products. The company controlled VXA technology but did not play a large role in the LTO community.

Corporate history
The company was formed in 1985 by Juan Rodriguez, Harry Hinz, and Kelly Beavers, and a group of ex-StorageTek engineers who were interested in using consumer videotape technology for data storage. The company advanced technology for computer backups in 1987 when they introduced the Data8 magnetic tape format. The company's follow-up technologies, including Mammoth and Mammoth-2, were less successful.

Exabyte went public on the NASDAQ in 1989 under the symbol EXBT.

Acquisitions
Exabyte's history of acquisitions includes:
 * 1992 - R-Byte, Inc., a maker of 4mm tape systems.
 * 1993 - Tallgrass Technologies of Lenexa within Johnson County, Kansas.  Tallgrass manufactured 4mm DDS drives, backup software, and had a significant distribution channel.
 * 1993 - Everex's Mass Storage Division (MSD). Everex did its research and development in Ann Arbor, MI and manufactured its products in Fremont, CA.  Everex MSD made QIC products.
 * October 1994 - Grundig Data Scanner GmbH, for $2.9 million and renamed Exabyte Magnetics GmbH. This subsidiary designed and manufactured helical scan tape heads.

Ecrix merger
Ecrix was a magnetic tape data storage company founded in 1996 in Boulder, Colorado. The founders, Kelly Beavers and Juan Rodriguez, were two of the three founders of Exabyte. The research and development done by Ecrix focused on making a cheaper 8 mm tape drive. In 1999, Ecrix released their first product, the VXA tape drive. In 2001, Ecrix and Exabyte merged, giving Exabyte access to Ecrix's VXA Packet Technology tape drive format.

Demise
On 30 June 2006, Exabyte announced that they were looking for a buyer. On 30 August 2006, Tandberg Data announced that they were buying Exabyte's assets for US$28 million. The acquisition was completed on 20 November 2006.

Talk:Motorola i920/i930

This Smartphone Article will be heavily moderated to ensure it adheres to Wikipedia Standards. Also, I renamed the article Motorola i930 because it may be used in either the Nextel or Southern Linc Network.

Please read this discussion page very carefully as it has some important pointers that might clear up a couple of issues you might have with Wikipedia. The Rules/Clauses of Conduct and the Civility Policy Pages clearly states what can be done and what can't be done here in Wikipedia, so I highly suggest that you read these pages before you even start editing.

IMPORTANT: Some additional FAQs
My purpose of adding this onto the Talk Page was meant more to clarify some issues. Because I have seen some vandalism on this article, I had no choice but to lock the article up until August 31, Central Daylight Time, in order to curb Vandalism and willful deletions of credible material not on just this Wikipedia article, but all of them.

Although Wikipedia is a community which people are entitled to edit and/or create, there are rules to ensure that Wikipedia remains a neutral, PG-Friendly community. Therefore, the only edits permitted in Wikipedia are the following:
 * Only relevant talk to whatever the article is about and/or a particular product, subject, etc. is permitted on Wikipedia grounds
 * Each article has to have either a See Also section (Either a See Also, Related Articles, etc.), and a Works Cited page (External Links, Works Cited, Resources). If there are print resources that you are deriving the information from, then the print resources must be cited on the article.  Wikipedia does not tolerate plagiarism, so keep that in mind.
 * Observe Wikipedia's Neutrality commitment. This is very important here in Wikipedia as we have people with different points of view.
 * Give credit where it's due
 * As a general rule, submitting copyrighted images is a no-no unless you are given explicit permission to post it here in Wikipedia.
 * There will be times when a Wikipedia article will be locked in order to keep the article under control.
 * You should not be editing and/or playing with the article page unless you have anything credible to add.

Wikipedia does not, in addition to the basic forbidden elements as described in the Wikipedia Conduct and Civility Clause pages, permit in under any circumstances, the following: Nextel aficionados are encouraged to edit this page, however, I should point out that it should be edited in standard English, instead of trying to plunge the article to an unneutral point of view.
 * Hitting the Edit button and enter some sort of text that is fun to enter and/or just to test to make sure that your ability to edit any article in Wikipedia works, which is known to me as, "Article-Crapping"
 * Any language that bears any sexually-explicit references
 * Willful purge of any information credible and/or vital to a particular article here in Wikipedia. I have seen two instances where this one same user purged a good amount of information on this page alone.
 * Thinking that Editing is fun by adding genital-reference words like "Penis" or "Vagina", which is called "Integrity Crapping" (added 25September2005)
 * Any other activity deemed detrimental as per the Mediawiki/Wikipedia community.

Like I said, the Rules/Clauses of Conduct and the Civility Policy Pages clearly states what can be done and what can't be done here in Wikipedia, so I highly suggest that you read this before you even start editing.

Also, please DO ask questions at the Help Desk or at the Village Pump. — Vesther 17:12, 26 September 2005 (UTC)

IMPORTANT: Chit-chat style edits
Chit-chat style edits belong to the Sandbox. Any chit-chat style edits caught in ANY Wikipedia article will be purged/reverted back to the last good edit at will.

Trying to avoid vandalism here in Wikipedia, articles tend to be observed very carefully to ensure that each article adheres to Wikipedia rules. Be VERY TOUCHY about what you say in an edit if you are afraid of having the edit reverted.

Yesterday, I have seen some sort of chit-chat style edit on this Motorola i930 article here in Wikipedia, and just a reminder, please keep your edits ON TOPIC and within Wikipedia borders. Like I said, chit-chat needs to be placed on the Sandbox and not on any article or its related discussion pages.

So from now on, keep Chit-Chat style edits at the Wikipedia Sandbox and out of the articles and its related discussion pages. Chit-chat edits that occur either on the article itself and its related discussion pages are on dangerous grounds. — Vesther 17:06, 26 September 2005 (UTC)

Criticism Section
There is a long list of "groups" of people who have criticised this phone, apparantly even before it is available for sale. I am wondering about the source of these statements. In particular, it surprises me that a group of amputees have criticized this phone for not having bluetooth capability. It may be true - I can see how bluetooth might be valuable to an amputee. Even if it is true it would be more appropriate to cite the specific group, and not make it seem as though all amputees anywhere in the world have criticized this phone. Can the claims that these groups have criticized the phone be substantiated? We need to remember to cite our sources. Johntex 22:18, 26 August 2005 (UTC)
 * The two links of Interest as far as criticisms are concerned are iDEN Custom and iDEN Insider, with more on the way. I'm gonna have to remove the "Amputees" from the list of criticisers until a citation can be cited. — Vesther 14:37, 28 August 2005 (UTC)

Uncivilized Language (FINAL PUBLIC WARNING)
This is NOT A JOKE nor it's funny. It IS a violation of Wikipedia policy. I have seen many vandalizations on this article for as long as I have kept my eyes on this article. Any uncivilized edits and/or inappropriate editing (such as "Suck a Penis", etc.) will be dealt with harshly. I'm not going to warn and/or chew any vandals today but this is the only warning to those who thinks that editing is something funny, as I am not as forgiving as the Wikipedia Administrators/SysOps are. This is the final public warning I will give to those who thinks that putting crap like "Suck a Penis" is fun and/or funny. I don't want to see it. The next time I see any of that, I will brand any "Genitalia Posters" as instant vandals. No exceptions, no excuses, no if's, and's, or buts. I mean it. This article has been grievously been beaten up to death, and from this point on, the rules will be enforced HARSHLY. — Vesther 02:24, 26 September 2005 (UTC)

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Thpohl. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Thpohl~enwiki that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name. If you think you might own all of the accounts with this name and this message is in error, please visit Special:MergeAccount to check and attach all of your accounts to prevent them from being renamed.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours, Keegan Peterzell Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation 03:21, 20 March 2015 (UTC)

Renamed
 This account has been renamed as part of single-user login finalisation. If you own this account you can |log in using your previous username and password for more information. If you do not like this account's new name, you can choose your own using this form after logging in: . -- Keegan (WMF) (talk) 19:40, 22 April 2015 (UTC)

Image Tagging Image:Pricecattle.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Pricecattle.jpg. I notice the 'image' page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is therefore unclear. If you have not created this media yourself then you need to argue that we have the right to use the media on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the media yourself then you should also specify where you found it, i.e., in most cases link to the website where you got it, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the media also doesn't have a copyright tag then you must also add one. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then you can use GFDL to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media qualifies as fair use, please read fair use, and then use a tag such as or one of the other tags listed at Image copyright tags. See Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other media, please check that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any unsourced and untagged images will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Longhair 14:18, 1 February 2006 (UTC)

unhelpful edits
Please consider creating articles rather than just creating links to non-existant articles. Once the articles exists, then you can create links to them. Also, I would definitely suggest using edit summaries. Otherwise other editors will say bad things about you behind your back or leave tacks in your chair when you aren't looking.

 * It is real! see here. Toya 11:59, 15 August 2005 (UTC)

Public response 9/11
Hi, Toya. I see the new page you've created. Two points:

The initial statement seems a bit subjective. I realize the topic is a bit subjective but new articles undergo a lot of scrutiny, and you should be prepared to receive comments about the page.

Another tip: I think your article would be much better served, and much more positively recieved, if you have something in it right from the beginning. One trick I use is, I wrote two very solid paragraphs, with a lot of research and detail, before I start a serious new article. Even have a link or two ready. This way people know you have done some actual work in advance, and are likely to show well-written results in little time.

What you have now is a stub, and it is going to come under attack -- fairly or not -- because there isn't really anything there.

Hope this will be of some value to you, and let me know if I can help.

Al Aqsa
Yes the Hebrew letter צ is pronounced "ts" by most Israelis, but since Aqsa is an Arabic word, and צ is similar to the Arabic ص, most Hebrew speakers I've heard pronounce it as Aqsa with a hard "s". Anyway I changed it back. Ramallite (talk) 17:32, 1 October 2005 (UTC)

Academic transliterations of Hebrew
Please leave the academic transliterations of Hebrew names intact—they are academic conventional spellings, not alternate spellings (which can be listed as "or Other Name", etc.). For Standard Hebrew in detailed academic contexts, ḥ is used for ח in all cases, and ḫ is used for soft כ in all cases. These are typical across Semitic linguistics studies. We do not use kh in this way. - Gilgamesh 23:32, 3 October 2005 (UTC)

Edit summaries are extremely helpful to help catch vandals and help RC patrols distinguish legitament entries (like yours), from the bad entries that so often need to be reverted. Thanks. -- Malo 18:42, 23 October 2005 (UTC)

Hi Toya.

Thanks again for your contributions. Can I suggest that if you are going to create a page about the Commonwealth countries in WWII then it should be called Military history of the Commonwealth of Nations during World War II, although it should probably contain little except links to the individual military history articles for each country. If you are not intending to create such a page it is probably better to leave a link to an existing page (Commonwealth of Nations) rather than a non-existant page in World War II.

Official titles
Hi - "Palestinian National Authority" (PNA) is the complete official title, whereas "Palestinian Authority" (PA) is shorter but used commonly. Official documents are not consistent, many applications and certificates have PNA on them, but others (including the Palestinian passport and (תעודת זהות) only have PA. As you can tell, it is not very professional. However, to answer your question, PNA is the official correct title, and in the encyclopedia should be used instead of PA.

 * I think "filastiniyah" sounds more proper than "falastiniyah" - to be honest the "fat'ha" or "kasra" (nequda) on the letter ف is something we learned in elementary school (and it's different depending on where a word is in the sentence - Arabic I'raab) and I don't remember the grammar rules right now, people say it both ways. But I think the proper pronunciation for a word that is after "tahrir" is with a kasra - "filastiniyah" . Ramallite (talk) 10:35, 2 November 2005 (UTC)

The section in the article 1948 Arab-Israeli War
Dear Toya, This section just needs to be re-written in good English and a source or sources cited and then it will be fine. --Ian Pitchford ''' (t) 11:54, 13 November 2005 (UTC)

Intifada
In "intifada", the first "a" is longer than the second "a", so when writing transliterations it makes sense to say "intifaadat" or "intifādat" to make it more clear. Question for you: in Oslo Accords you wrote "was nicknamed the "refusal organizations"" - who calls them "refusal organizations"? We call them "mu'aradah" which simply means "the opposition". I was just wondering.... Ramallite (talk) 13:46, 26 November 2005 (UTC)

Rejection of Tanakh
Hi Toya: Please see and vote at Categories for deletion/Log/2005 December 12 at where it is beeing suggested that the word "Tanakh" is "not neutral", and I am trying to explain to them that it is in keeping with NPOV to convey the way Judaism uses certain terms to describe the Hebrew Bible/Tanakh. Thanks. IZAK 16:22, 13 December 2005 (UTC)

A suggestion
Merge the info of the "conflict" article to another relevant article. Zeq 19:38, 20 December 2005 (UTC)

Ashamed?
I am not sure I understand. If we need to say West Bank for a specific reason, yes we say "the West Bank". But we refer to it as Palestine otherwise. For example; Where are you from? I am from Palestine. Where is Ramallah? North of Jerusalem in the West Bank in Palestine. It's like if you live in גוש דן, you still say 'here in Israel' or 'I am from Israel' or 'I am traveling to Israel'. Where exactly in Israel? the גוש דן region. It doesn't mean that the Negev is not part of Israel also. So it is very much dependent on context, but it is normal to say 'Palestine' unless there is a special reason that you need to identify it specifically. Ramallite (talk) 04:39, 22 December 2005 (UTC)

El or Al (not the airline)
In Arabic it is spelled 'aleph lam', so I guess 'Al' is more proper than 'El'. Also, the Arabic letter 'ص' in "Aqsa" is pronounced a hard "S", the same as the way Sephardim (or Yehudim Mizrachim) pronouce 'צ'. Ashkenazim usually pronounce it 'TS'. But in Arabic this letter is always a heavy "S" and never "TS". Ramallite (talk) 06:23, 1 January 2006 (UTC)

Reply
Hi. The only problem there is that the article was up for deletion previously and many people had concerns. When you merged it into the Islam and Judaism article, it can cause concern. So it would be nice if you could discuss that on the talk page. -- a.n.o.n.y.m  t 15:29, 25 December 2005 (UTC)

Settlement versus Community
Thank you for explaining your choice of the word settlement. However, within the context of Palestinian attacks on Israel, the word “settlement” takes on a decidedly particular definition (i.e. Israeli population centers within the so-called "occupied territories"), and I would much rather there be no confusion as to what Palestinians are attacking. You'll surely agree with me that there is much less support for Palestinian bombardment of Israeli civilians than there is for Palestinian aggression toward the targets more commonly referred to as "settlements."

Acting Prime Minister
Actually, in English the term is "Acting Prime Minister" as per all media reports. Homey 14:28, 5 January 2006 (UTC)

HaPanterim HaSHkhorim
You have not provided any sources in HaPanterim HaSHkhorim. Could you cite some useful references, please?

Also, is there any particular reason why you user uppercase SH for a shin? I'm wondering if that is not problematic under the naming conventions. JFW | T@lk  22:32, 9 January 2006 (UTC)

 * I know shin is one letter in the Hebrew alphabet, but the "sh" in English is a diphtong and there should be no need to transliterate the shin to SH. Have you seen this convention in any other articles? JFW | T@lk  09:55, 10 January 2006 (UTC)
 * The whole article was transferred to the existing page Israeli Black Panthers. I added some references with external links but didn't change much of the text. --Pylambert 17:09, 16 January 2006 (UTC)

Israel = Yisrael?
Shalom! I was wondering if there was any particular reason for your move of Israel Maimon to Yisrael Maimon. Is it one of those Hebrew language things? Thanks. - 20:17, 12 February 2006 (UTC)The Great Gavini שיחה

Swan River (Montana)

The Swan River is a 95 mi long, north-flowing river in western Montana in the United States. The river drains a long isolated valley, known as the Swan Valley, between the Swan Range on the east and the Mission Mountains to the west.

History
On an 1884 Rand McNally map, the Swan River and Swan Lake are referred to as the Sweatinghouse River and the Sweatinghouse Lake. However, by 1895, most maps had adopted Swan, a name apparently proposed by early English hunters in the area and acknowledged by the locals, according to Ken Wolf’s 1980 Montana Magazine article “History of the Swan Valley.” Henry Coale quoted a local 1914 report that "Twenty years ago Trumpeter Swans were common in Montana, and used regularly to winter here, but are now on the verge of extinction." He indicated that the Kootenai Indians generally reported that swans bred in the Flathead Valley up to the first immigration of whites in 1886... Coale described swans nesting historically at Lake Rodgers, at Swan Lake, and on the east side of Flathead Lake, and on the lakes which drain Clearwater, a branch of the Big Blackfoot River.

Course
The Swan originates at Gray Wolf Lake in the Mission Mountains, at 6650 ft above sea level. Fed partly by melt from the Gray Wolf Glacier, the river descends through a short and steep canyon to Lindbergh Lake, at the base of the Mission Mountains. From there the river flows briefly east before turning north, passing Condon, flowing about 75 mi to the northern end of the valley where it empties into Swan Lake. At the north end of the 10 mi long lake, the river emerges into the Flathead Valley, where it turns abruptly west through a canyon, emptying into Flathead Lake at the town of Bigfork. Via Flathead Lake, it eventually drains to the Flathead River, a major tributary in the Columbia River system.

The river is fed by many tributaries descending from the mountains along both sides of its valley. On the west side, streams draining the Mission Mountains into the Swan River include Glacier, Elk, Cold, Jim, Piper, Woodward, Whitetail, and Porcupine Creeks. Eastern tributaries, flowing off the Swan Range, include Holland, Smith, Alder, Lion, Goat, Soup, and Lost Creeks. Below Swan Lake, the river is also joined by Bear and Mud Creeks from the east.

Montana Highway 83 roughly parallels the river from the Bigfork area to near Lindbergh Lake.

Watershed
The Swan River watershed drains 671 mi2 and extends into parts of Missoula County, Lake County and a small portion of Flathead County. The glacial Swan Valley is considered Montana's most water-rich watershed, with over 4,000 lakes, ponds and wetlands that encompass about 16 percent of the total area. There are an estimated 1300 mi of rivers and streams in the watershed.

The watershed is very lightly populated with a density of slightly less than 1.6 people per square mile. The total human population, which is concentrated in the northern end of the valley near Bigfork, is estimated at 1,000. The main economic activity in the watershed is logging.

Geologically, the Swan Valley forms a continuous trough with the valley drained by the Clearwater River, which flows south through Seeley Lake to join the Blackfoot River. The valleys of the two rivers are known locally as the Seeley-Swan.

History
There are two theories of the origin of the name "Swan River". In the 1880s Swan Lake was reported to have a large population of trumpeter swans, although none are present there today and contemporary claims remain anecdotal. Another possibility is that the river and lake were named after Emmett Swan, one of the first white settlers in Swan Valley.

The U.S. Forest Service permitted commercial logging in the Swan Valley starting in 1907. Early logging activity in the valley was accompanied by attempts to float timber down the Swan River, which was difficult because of the river's narrow and winding course. As a result, most of the timber ended up piled on the banks and along sandbars, forming log jams that persist to this day.

The Swan Valley Massacre of 1908 was an altercation between native people of the Pend d'Oreilles tribe and a Montana game warden, in which four Native Americans and the warden were killed. It was the result of a dispute over tribal hunting rights outside of reservation boundaries, which the Montana government reputedly did not honor at the time.

River modifications
The Bigfork Dam impounds the Swan River at the rapids about 1 mile (1.6 km) above its mouth, to generate about 4,000 kilowatts of hydroelectricity at peak load. The dam and reservoir are operated by PacifiCorp. Originally built in 1902, the dam was constructed with a fish ladder which proved ineffective, as a result isolating the Swan River's fish populations from Flathead Lake.

Recreation
The stretch of the river between Bigfork Dam and Flathead Lake, known as the "Wild Mile" for its drop of over 100 ft, is known for its extremely difficult Class V+ whitewater. The Bigfork Whitewater Festival takes place in mid-May each year along this section. Above Bigfork Dam, the river is calmer, but can be dangerous when running high in the spring. The river is also known for its log jams, which pose a significant hazard to boaters.

The river is also known for excellent fishing for bull trout. However, bull trout numbers have been declining since the introduction of lake trout, most likely around 1998 when anglers reported catching them in the river.

Johann Maria Philipp Frimont

Johann Maria Philipp Frimont, Count of Palota, Prince of Antrodoco (3 February 1759 – 26 December 1831) was an Austrian general.

Frimont was born at Fénétrange, in the Duchy of Lorraine. He entered the Austrian cavalry as a trooper in 1776, won his commission in the War of the Bavarian Succession, and took part in the Austro-Turkish War (1788–1791) and in the early campaigns of the French Revolutionary Wars, in which he frequently earned distinction.

At the Battle of Frankenthal in 1795 he won the Military Order of Maria Theresa. In the campaign of 1800 he distinguished himself greatly as a cavalry leader at Marengo (14 June), and in the next year became major-general. In the War of the Third Coalition he was again employed in Italy and won further renown by his gallantry at the Battle of Caldiero. In 1809 he again saw active service in Italy under the Archduke John in the rank of lieutenant field marshal, serving in Chasteler's Corps at 1st Sacile 15–16 April, and Caldiero (Soave). He commanded the rearguard at the Piave, but was defeated at 2nd Sacile and at Saint Daniel 11 May. He commanded the Reserve Corps at the Battle of Raab 14 June. In 1812 Frimont led the cavalry of Karl Philipp, Prince of Schwarzenberg's corps in the Russian campaign, serving at the Battle of Gorodechno (Podobna, Prujany) 12 August. He replaced Schwarzenberg as commander in January 1813.

In 1813 he commanded V Armeekorps under Hiller in Italy, serving at Caldiero 15 November. After the Treaty of Paris (1814) he became military governor in Mainz. In 1815 he was commander-in-chief of the Austrian campaign in Italy, and his army penetrated France as far as Lyon, which was entered on 11 July. With the army of occupation he remained in France for some years, and in 1819 he commanded at Venice.

In 1821 he led the Austrian army which was employed against the Neapolitan Carbonari rebels, and by 24 March he had victoriously entered Naples. His reward from King Ferdinand I of the Two Sicilies was the title of Prince of Antrodoco and a handsome sum of money, and from Emperor Francis I of Austria the rank of general of cavalry. After this he commanded in North Italy, and led the campaign against Carbonari rebels in the Kingdom of Sardinia that same year. He became president of the Hofkriegsrat in 1831, but died a few months later at Vienna.

Swan Lake (Montana)

Swan Lake is a lake located east of Flathead Lake and the town of Bigfork, Montana. The Swan River comes from the south and fills the lake. The lake is similar to Moyie Lake in southern British Columbia. It is a narrow, small, and twisty lake that is hard to navigate. There is a small divide that separates the Swan River Valley from the Clearwater River Valley. The Clearwater River flows south through a series of lakes, including Seeley Lake and empties into the Blackfoot River. The two valleys are known locally as the Seeley/Swan. Swan Lake runs parallel to Montana Highway 83.

The Swan Lake Area is host to numerous campsites including areas right along the lake. Swan Lake is also home to many lakeside homes.

Kevin McNaughton

Kevin Paul McNaughton (born 28 August 1982) is a Scottish professional football player and coach. A versatile player able to play anywhere in defence, McNaughton was also used in a defensive midfield role. He began his career in the Scottish Premier League, playing for Aberdeen for six years. He joined Cardiff City in 2006, spending nine years at the Welsh side, making over 250 appearances. He had two loan spells at Bolton Wanderers before joining Wigan Athletic on a permanent basis in 2015. He retired from playing football in 2017, after a year with Inverness Caledonian Thistle, but reversed this decision in December 2017 after an injury crisis at Forfar Athletic, where he had joined as a coach the previous month.

Aberdeen
Beginning his career in the Scottish Premier League with Aberdeen after coming through the club's youth programme, where he won the Scottish Youth Cup in 2000–01, McNaughton was thrust into the first team at 18, making his debut on 5 October in a 2–1 win over St Mirren, and became a regular for the 2000–01 and 2001–02 seasons in a team containing lots of young players brought through the youth system like Darren Mackie, Russell Anderson and Darren Young. A knee injury sustained in 2002 kept him out for 12 weeks and on his return McNaughton struggled to return to form. It wasn't until new Aberdeen manager Jimmy Calderwood arrived, that he managed to recover his previous form.

During the 2005–06 season, McNaughton was linked with moves to Celtic and Fulham, but nothing came of either and he remained at Pittodrie.

Cardiff City
On 26 May 2006, it was announced that he would be joining Football League Championship side Cardiff City on a free transfer. McNaughton quickly became an important part of manager Dave Jones's plans as he played in the left full-back position, and his form once again earned him a recall to the Scotland national team, although injury robbed him of the chance to take his place in the squad. During his second season at Cardiff, having switched to right-back, McNaughton played in all six matches of the club's run to the 2008 FA Cup Final, including scoring his first goal for the club on 27 January 2008 with a 20-yard volley in a 2–1 victory over Hereford United in the fourth round. His first league goal came just a few months later when he scored on the final day of the season against Barnsley in a 3–0 win.

The start of the 2008–09 season saw McNaughton his 100th appearance for the club when he played against Watford on 21 October.

During a pre-season friendly against Celtic on 22 July 2009 he suffered an ankle injury which kept him out for the opening two months of the season. After appearing for the club's reserve side, he returned to the first team on 17 October 2009 as an unused substitute during a 1–1 draw with Crystal Palace but suffered a recurrence of the injury kept him out until 17 November 2009 when he played 45 minutes of a reserve team game against Hereford United. He returned to the line-up on 21 November 2009 against Barnsley, but was taken off in the 21st minute for Paul Quinn with a back injury. On 23 November McNaughton was sent to have a scan on the back injury, which the club's medical staff believed to have caused the problem and resulted in him being out for two weeks. On 5 December 2009 McNaughton played his first 90 minutes of the season in a 1–0 win over Preston North End. The next season his injury worries ceded and he has played in every league up to and including the game against Barnsley. McNaughton was Cardiff's most consistent defender throughout the 2010–11 season, and won the Player of the Year award.

On 2 May 2011, McNaughton was involved in an incident where he collided with assistant referee Sian Massey. He was later cleared when the FA ruled the incident an accident though it attracted hits and comments on YouTube, with some suggesting the player had deliberately barged into the official. Also McNaughton had captained the side for the first time in their 3–0 loss to Reading in their play-off second leg, on 17 May.

In 2011–12, McNaughton was named as stand-in captain in Mark Hudson's absence starting on 22 November against Coventry City. He went on to make three further appearances as captain, during which time he made his two hundredth league appearance for Cardiff in a 1–0 win over Nottingham Forest on 26 November 2011. He also played a part in the club's League Cup run to their first ever final, which they lost 3–2 on penalties to Liverpool.

McNaughton's 400th league appearance for Cardiff came in a goalless draw at Brighton & Hove Albion on 21 August 2012. McNaughton started over half of City's fixtures in 2012–13, as Cardiff finally achieved promotion to the Premier League. With his contract expiring during the close-season, the club has confirmed that McNaughton has been offered a new deal. On 5 July 2013 it was announced on the official Cardiff City website that McNaughton had signed a new one-year contract extension with the Bluebirds. On 7 March 2014, McNaughton signed a new one-year contract with the Bluebirds.

On 5 May 2015, it was announced after nine years for playing for Cardiff City, McNaughton was to be released at the end of the season upon his contract expiry.

Loans to Bolton Wanderers
On 27 September 2013, McNaughton joined Bolton on a 28-day emergency loan deal. He made his first appearance for Wanderers four days later in a goalless draw with local rivals Blackpool at Bloomfield Road. After becoming the club's first choice right-back during his stay with Bolton, he scored his first goal for the club in the 1–1 draw with Charlton Athletic on 21 December 2013, this was his first goal in the League since scoring for Cardiff against Barnsley in May 2008.

He returned to Bolton on loan in July 2014.

Wigan Athletic
On 4 August 2015, McNaughton joined League One side Wigan Athletic on a one-year deal.

Inverness Caledonian Thistle
McNaughton signed for Inverness Caledonian Thistle during the 2016 close season. In August 2016, McNaughton suffered an achilles injury. He retired from football in July 2017, aged 34.

International career
McNaughton's first call-up for the Scotland squad came in 2002 when he was told by manager Berti Vogts that, at the age of 19, he would earn his first cap in a match against France. However, before the match Vogts told the media in a press conference that McNaughton would not be playing as Vogts deemed he was too nervous, despite not telling McNaughton himself. Instead his first cap came against Nigeria in Scotland's next match.

In his second appearance he was substituted at half-time in a friendly against Denmark. In 2007 McNaughton claimed that Vogts had set his career back by two years with his actions during that time. His move to Cardiff reignited his international career, winning his fourth cap in a match against Czech Republic in May 2008 and being called-up several times.

Coaching career
In November 2017, McNaughton joined Forfar Athletic as first-team coach, later registering himself as a player after an injury crisis at the club. He made his début for Forfar in a 2–0 defeat to Alloa Athletic on 9 December 2017. In August 2017, McNaughton left his playing role at Forfar and signed for SJFA East Super League side, Kirriemuir Thistle, his contract, allowed him to keep his Assistant Manager role at Forfar.

As of April 2020, McNaughton was working for Dundee as a youth team coach.
