What should be defined as a tanker vehicle has groups and organizations stirring debate.
A petition led by the Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance (CVSA) in 2008 prompted the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) to redefine tank vehicles in May of 2011.
Whereas tank vehicles previously "did not apply to commonplace fluid bins," and which drivers did not need a tank endorsement for, the revision surpassed the CVSA's request, including vehicles that "haul any containers of liquid or gas with a rated capacity of 119 gallons or more as part of an aggregate of 1,000 gallons that aren't permanently attached to the vehicle." 1 This includes "dry van trailers hauling empty or filled cylinders and intermediate bulk containers (IBCs) designed for the carriage of liquids and gases." 2
Considered "too broad" of a definition and forcing more drivers to have tank endorsements on their CDLs, groups such as the Owner-Operator Independent Drivers Association (OOIDA) and American Trucking Associations (ATA), have pointed out the additional expense drivers and carriers will be facing under the revised definition.
As the ATA stated, "Obtaining this endorsement is burdensome, requiring additional training, time off work and substantial costs and fees." 3
Understanding these concerns, the FMCSA decided on March 30th to reconsider the definition and who is required to hold a tank endorsement on their CDL. The problem, however, lies with the states who have already adopted the definition.
Although the ruling was set to go into effect on July 8th, states were given until July 2014 to establish the ruling, which poses as a problem. As the OOIDA's Joe Rajkovacz states, "If it can be assumed that we're going to get a relaxed definition, then drivers should not be exposed to being cited for this in the various states that have already adopted the wider definition." 1
The FMCSA acknowledged that it will be seeking comments on the definition but did not announce a date as of yet.
The ATA and ARA (Agricultural Retailers Association, who is also affected by the tank endorsement since pesticides are transported via IBC containers) suggested the following definition to the FMCSA:
"Tank vehicle means any commercial motor vehicle that is designed to transport any liquid or gaseous materials within a tank having an individual rated capacity of more than 1,000 gallons that is either permanently or temporarily attached to the vehicle or the chassis; or tanks having an individual rated capacity of more than 119 gallons and an aggregate rated capacity of 1,000 gallons or more that are permanently attached to the vehicle or the chassis. A commercial motor vehicle transporting portable tanks that are manifested as either empty or as residue on a bill of lading or transporting an empty storage container tank, not designed for transportation, with a rated capacity of 1,000 gallons or more that is temporarily attached to a flatbed trailer are not considered to be tank vehicles." 2

Just getting into the chat font/outline discussion.
How's called the chat edit frame text line? I reskinned the frame easily, i just cannot set the font to the pixel one like my entire chat.- It's an issue bugging me from a very long time.
out of combat
"art" stuff at the bottom in black and class colored.
in combat
"art" stuff at the bottom in black and red (combat indicator).
another in combat color for dk, since red to red would be a bit.. nonsense.
(also slightly edited the colored texture after the first two shots with my warrior)
Maybe I'll change everything a bit more and such but.. at the moment I am quite satified with my "slightly guild wars 2 inspired" UI. Simple and solid.
I'm glad you like them! I admit I do miss some parts of those unit frames. I'd love to mix and match them with what I'm using now. With patch 5.0 supposedly around the corner I'm better off waiting until after it hits but I only have 2~ weeks of subscription left and I don't think I'll re-sub until a couple months into MOP just to see how things have developed.
---------- Post added 2012-07-24 at 10:56 AM ----------
I've always wanted to make a GW2 inspired UI. That looks good to me, not really a fan of the style of the boss frame a the top but that's just a personal opinion. I think something more similar to GW2 with a portrait and matching the player frames would fit better. It's your UI though!
Random stuff UI Enthusiast Any Questions? Youtube Some old UIs Feel free to add me! PC Setup Lastest UI (EU)Care#2582
Here you go I tried my best to get a decent screenshot, but I couldn't resist smashing the LFR guys :P
Sheltrs @ Tumblr - Art, gaming, music and other bullshit
Thanks a lot - going to try this in a couple of hours. It really bugged me to have standard font only there XD
Sheltrs @ Tumblr - Art, gaming, music and other bullshit
it worked i needed to adapt the code a little but nothing fancy.
Just when i tried to do a screen (also with new nameplates progress) with chatbox open MoP crashed XD i hope to provide some new screens today (maybe after finished nameplates) :P
Imho, the worst thing are the central buffs. I'm going to make better raid frames for healer layout, slightly bigger. But all the thimngs needed will be hard-coded i think, like specific class indicators.
Aye, in 25man they take up a lot of the screen, but I never usually raid in 25man groups. None of my 85's need LFR anymore, and I barely ever venture into Battlegrounds. The raid frames are fine in 10man raids though, but I have not modified them to fit 25man as I do not intend to have more than 9 other players in my group :P

I'm a big fan of your UI idling, but it looks like it's not fully raid ready. Initially I would consider re-skinning your BetterExtraActionButton (Ultraxion Button). Additionally I would suggest resizing Grid. It seems a bit superfluous currently. Other than that, however, I love it!

LUMBERTON — Tuesday could be tricky for those making their way to the polls for the primary election, according to a recent study that found Robeson County voters could be among the most confused in the state when casting ballots.
The study by nonpartisan group Democracy Now says recent redistricting could cause confusion at the polls.
Dock Locklear, director of the county Board of Elections, said precinct lines have not changed, so voters will cast ballots at the same sites as they did during the 2010 primary and General Election unless they have moved to another precinct. But they might see some unfamiliar names on the ballots. For example, almost all of the county is now in congressional District 8, which is represented by Larry Kissell, a Democrat. Mike McIntyre, a Lumberton native, represents District 7, which used to include all of Robeson County, but now includes just a sliver of it.
Locklear said sample ballots will be posted, and voters should ask election officials for help if they are confused.
"We're telling them to check the ballots when they are getting them to make sure they have right ballots," Locklear said. "Most people when they come in they already know who they are voting."
Polls will be open on Tuesday from 6:30 a.m. to 7:30 p.m., and a directory of polling places can be found at ncvoterguide.org. Anyone with questions can contact the Board of Elections office at 910-671-3080.
Tuesday's election serves as a primary for Republicans, Democrats, Independents and Libertarians voting in county, state and federal elections, but serves as the General Election for the county Board of Education, which is non-partisan. Unaffiliated voters can choose to vote in the Democratic, Republican, Libertarian or Independent primary.
Also on the ballot is the Amendment One referendum that will decide whether the state Constitution should be amended to define marriage as being only between one man and one woman.
Early voting, which began on April 19, ended Saturday. As of early Friday, about 5,500 early votes had been cast — about 3,200 at the Board of Elections site in Lumberton, about 2,000 in Pembroke, and about 250 in Fairmont.
Democrats will have the most choices in competitive races in county elections, but have no choice for president, where Barack Obama is unopposed.
Democrats will be voting for District 8 in the U.S. House of Representatives, governor, lieutenant governor, commissioner of Agriculture, commissioner of Labor, treasurer, county Register of Deeds, state House, and Districts 1, 3, 5 and 7 in the county Board of Commissioners. McIntyre is unopposed in the primary in District 7 of the U.S. House.
Republicans will have essentially the same choices, but will vote for a president, although Mitt Romney has clinched the nomination, and will only have one choice for the county Board of Commissioners, in District 7.
Republicans will also be voting for Districts 7 and 8 in the U.S. House, governor, lieutenant governor, auditor, commissioner of Agriculture, commissioner of Insurance, secretary of State, superintendent of Public Instruction, treasurer, and District 7 on the Board of Commissioners.
There are four district seats on the Board of Education up for election, but only two, Districts 4 and 5, offer competitive races. The incumbents in Districts 1 and 7 are unopposed. Also, there are three at-large seats on the school board up for election; voters will vote for one person in the at-large race.

Obviously all the talk heading into Game 3 is the physical tone this series took during Saturday night's game. Carkner, who received a one game suspension for his actions, got the ball rolling early and the nastiness continued throughout the game.
Carl Hagelin was suspended for three games for a cheap shot on Sens Captain Daniel Alfredsson.
Brendan Shanahan was on MSG Networks this morning and defended the decisions he made. There was some talk that he suggested he would reduce the suspension if Alfie played. You can listen to the interview here, but that's not exactly what he said. He was merely stressing the fact that the injury was a factor in his decision.
For what it's worth, I'm not going to join that group that piles on every decision Shanahan makes. The guy really does have the toughest job in hockey right now and has done an admirable job and more importantly, is willing to openly discuss each decision he makes. At some point the officials and players need to take responsibility for what happens on the ice.
Alfredsson was on the ice for the morning skate and is being called a game time decision. The Sens will be forced to make one line up change as defenceman Matt Gilroy will draw back in for the suspended Carkner. Here is how the Senators lined up at the morning skate.
For those of you that are in attendance tonight, be ready to make some serious noise. The crowds at MSG were electric but I have no doubt Scotiabank Place can be every bit as loud. In a series that is going to come down to the wire, we the fans have an opportunity to give our team the boost they need.
No holding back.
- With the BSens season over, the Sens have brought up Lehner, Borowiecki, Gryba, Wiercioch, Da Costa, Dziurzynski, Hoffman, Petersson and Zibanejad to join the Sens as The Black Aces for the playoff run.

Klaus is adding two more names to his ever-growing list of vampire-werewolve hybrids. The Young and the Restless star Blake Hood and Alyssa Diaz of Nine Lives of Chloe King will appear in Episodes 5 and 6 of the upcoming season as the latest members of Klaus' hybrid clan.
The actors will play Dean and Kimberly, and since we've seen what kind of damage those who are sired to Klaus can cause, I have a feeling they'll be stirring up quite a bit of trouble for our favourite Mystic Falls residents.

Washington Heights Park
Youngish, attractive dark skinned, black hair Nanny at **** in Washington Heights late afternoon (around 4:00pm) Wednesday Sept. 27th. Sat on back bench by the basketball courts talking with another nanny friend for a good 45 minutes. Left your sweet daughter, Jenna, age 5, to play by herself the entire time. Jenna talked with everyone there, ran from one end of the playground to another, and kept herself entertained, however, I easily could have walked off with her as could anyone else have done the same. There is absolutely no way that your nanny could have kept her in her eyesight the entire time from the location she was sitting in. I was there with a number of other mothers and our children, and we all felt terrible for Jenna, who seemed extremely lonely and desperate for attention. I would rate this a bad nanny sighting not only because a 5 year old had to play by herself for 45 minutes while her nanny chatted with a friend (who by the way kept her charge right next to her the entire time) but because it was simply dangerous how little supervision the child had,in a large public playground. Please talk to your nanny before someone walks off with your daughter. There are child predators everywhere and this is a city playground, requiring excellent supervision from close by, not from a distance.

"Jenna talked with everyone there" is what you first stated, but then you go on to "we all felt terrible for Jenna, who seemed extremely lonely and desperate".
So... was she having fun with everyone or feeling lonely? - Sep 28, 2006, 2:49:00 AM
I was at the park as well that day, and my daughter actually made friends with Jenna. From my observation the nanny in question had an eye on Jenna; also it is important to remember that children need to be encouraged to play with other children without an adult breathing down their neck constantly. Always supervised yes; which she was.
- Sep 28, 2006, 9:56:00 AM
Yeah, I'd feel scared too in Washington Heights. How about not hiring the the bargain basement nanny. Move to a better neighborhood and spend some real money on a nanny that doesn't have to be on welfare at the same time taking care of your neighborhood's kids.
btw. When was the last time a "child predator" actually struck and walked off with a kid? Have I been blind? Cuz I just don't hear about it. - Sep 28, 2006, 9:58:00 AM

Exactly -- based on the inconsistencies in your statement, sounds like you've got some weird ulterior motives. You and your "other mothers" sound like the ladies in "Little Children."
Annie - Sep 28, 2006, 10:33:00 AM
This is classic "lonely child" behavior. Searching for attention from every adult she sees because she is ignored by the person that should be caring for her. Don't forget the point here- the child's safety. The original poster has every reason to worry for this child.
- Sep 28, 2006, 12:11:00 PM
That's what a playground is for: so that kids can run around and entertain themselves or play with other kids while the grownup gets a break. Granted you can't drop the kid off and leave, but no one (not even parents) watch their child's every move all the time.
Are there really child predators everyhwere? I think this may be the (understandable) paranoia that results from watching too many episodes of Without a Trace. - Sep 28, 2006, 12:29:00 PM
why is it bad for a child to have to entertain herself? kids are great at that, and it is an essential skill to develop.
- Sep 28, 2006, 12:35:00 PM
Your concern is well-placed, but, with all due respect, I believe that socialization is something that children need to learn, and much of that they need to negotiate for themselves. Also, the role of a nanny is not to be a playmate. Lastly, if you were concerned, why didn't you gently broach this with the nanny? the situation you bring us doesn't seem to rise to the occasion of abuse.
- Sep 28, 2006, 12:38:00 PM
A five year old should be entertaining herself, and making friends with other children, without being hovered over by a nanny or parent.
- Sep 28, 2006, 1:28:00 PM
I'd like to know what you do for a living that makes you think it would be so easy for the family in question to just pick up and "move to a better neighborhood". Real easy if you can afford to pay the $5,000 a month most apartments in a "good neighborhood" go for. And as for the welfare remark, let me guess: you're white? and finally, child predators walk off with children all of the time: Morgan Nick, Amber Hagerman, Samantha Runnion, the list goes on. How did YOU think they got them? - Sep 28, 2006, 2:15:00 PM
Original Poster here:
Wow. Let's just say I guess if all of you have no problem with a 5 year old NOT being watched (and no, she was not being watched, and YES I keep my eyes on my son at all times - it is completely untrue that not even parents watch their children at all times, I do and I know plenty of wonderful caregivers that do as well) then I guess maybe this post wasn't necessary and maybe the parents of Jenna will agree with you. I stand by my decision however, in light of the fact that while a playground is for a child to play at, and all adults need a break here or there, the nanny could have easily gotten off her butt just once to stand and look over at the child to make sure she was ok; she could have sat on the front benches chatting which were closer to the jungle gyms; and lastly, if you are naive enough to believe that child predators only lurk on t.v. you need to do your research and learn that life isn't as rosy as you think (good neighborhoods and bad, which by the way Washington Heights is an unbelievably wonderful neighborhood to raise children in Kevin.) Put our zip code into one of the sex offender websites and you will find a number of predators in our immediate area. Etan Patz may have disappeared in 1979, but what do you think, that child predators disappeared as well?? Come on people, wake up. And watch your kids AT ALL TIMES. And i've never felt the need to publicize any nanny's behavior before so this obviously made a big impression on me. If that was my son, or my daughter (who is 7 and still well-supervised, btw) I would hope that someone would have let me know. - Sep 28, 2006, 2:31:00 PM
I am utterly appalled at the stupidity of most of these replies. Anyone who thinks it is ok to not watch a child in the playground every second is sadly mistaken. The caregiver doesn't have to hover; she does have to keep a watchful eye. The person who claims he isn't hearing about child predators obviously doesn't watch the news much. The original poster should be thanked for her concern, not ridiculed.
- Sep 28, 2006, 3:30:00 PM
I do not believe the comments that these posts generate!
No such thing as child predators???
Move to a richer neighborhood???
Attacking the post for seeming contradictions?
What do you people (I assume you are all nannies?) think, people make crap up and come here and post it because they are rabid nanny-haters? Who cares enuf to do that? Isn't it just possible that there are bad nannies out there? Not all of them of course!
Maybe you people posting these comments ARE the bad nannies, so that is why you post these ridiculous and angry comments. There appears to be no other logical reason for it! - Sep 28, 2006, 7:43:00 PM
To poster who said: "This is classic 'lonely child' behavior. Searching for attention from every adult she sees because she is ignored by the person that should be caring for her."
And who exactly should be caring for the child? Um, how about, the parents? - Sep 28, 2006, 11:13:00 PM
Who exactly should be caring for the child? My guess is at that point and time the person who is being PAID to do so.
- Sep 28, 2006, 11:17:00 PM
I hate fear mongering more than anything.
"Child Predators are EVERYWHERE." AHHHHHHHHH!
You make a lot of assumptions about what the nanny could and could not see. - Sep 29, 2006, 9:13:00 AM
You hate fear mongering? Put your zip into www.familywatchdog.us - i did and found two sex offenders (sex with girls under the age of 6) within a block of our local playground. And at least 4 others within a 10 block radius.
I grew up in an upper middle class neighborhood and had a good friend who was suicidal at the age of 12.. because they found out that a local shopkeeper was fondling him on his walk home (a 4 block walk) after offering him free candy for a few weeks and gaining his trust. A shopkeeper we all knew (turns out his thing was boys AND he had a prior history, too bad there were no laws back then, could have saved a young boy's family a lot of heartache if they knew, if anyone knew, do you think the community would have allowed a convicted sex felon to own a candy shop near a middle school?)
I would prefer to be a "fear monger" than a naive person who's child suffers because of my inability to admit that this is not a perfect world.
As for what the nanny could and could not see - I live there. If you knew the park, you would know that if you sit on the bench she was at and the child is playing on the tire swings or near the sprinklers, there is physically no way to see the child clearly. Especially when the nannys back was turned the other way most of the time so she could face the friend she was chatting with. If she simply would have changed positions with her friend she would have had a more clear view of the child. She clearly wasn't interested. Craning her neck around once (without even standing) in 45 minutes was not the ability to see the child. You are the one making the assumptions. Let's hope that your "safe" world never comes crashing down on you. Reality is a rude awakening, especially if it is a child that is hurt because of an adults denial of reality. - Sep 29, 2006, 1:11:00 PM
all these rich people complaining about nannies...give me a break!!
You should be glad that you can AFFORD a nanny. I know single mothers with 4 kids. They work 2 jobs and the oldest kids watch the younger ones. They don't blog about international travel with toddlers. Their goal is to just keep a roof over their heads and food on the table.
Sheeeesh! - Sep 29, 2006, 2:59:00 PM
Bahahahahaha. To the poster above. Rich people don't care about nannies one way or another. If they are sick, they need to work. If they have a death in the family, they damn well better not walk around the house with a grumpy expression on their face. If the seem intolerant of the child, who cares? Not every person who has a nanny is rich. Many people need a nanny just to take care of their children. There are no other alternatives. My experience is that those people who can barely afford a nanny actually look harder for a good nanny and work harder to stay involved with their children and the nanny. If you think only "rich" people have nannies, I am guessing you are posting from Enid, Oklahoma. Get real.
- Sep 29, 2006, 3:35:00 PM
A single mother with four kids utilizing her children as babysitters? Praytell how does one single woman have four children? Are they all from different fathers? Do tell. Do tell what rich mother is alternately blogging about international travel and complaining about nannies. I want to subscribe to her feed.
- Sep 29, 2006, 3:37:00 PM
One single mother can have 4 children from a husband who leaves her alone with 4 girls to support. But I guess you're so high and mighty that you're husband would never leave YOU.
I live in the NYC region (North NJ), 30 minutes from the Holland Tunnel, in a leafy green suburb. not Oklahoma. YOU get real!
However, I do have a wonderful friend in Tulsa. Too bad you're not nearly as polite and classy as her. - Sep 29, 2006, 10:10:00 PM
I am not naive, 1:11PM Anon.
I am a realist. Predators ARE everywhere. They're your soccer coach and your grandfather and that great neighbor...who Surprise! Hasn't been convicted of child molestation yet.
Your friend who was molested by the shop keeper needed to TELL SOMEONE what was happening. He needed his parents to ask questions and be aware. THAT is the power we as parents have.
Predators are everywhere but they're not the boogeyman waiting to pounce on children at parks while a nanny or parent doesn't glue her eyeballs to a child.
Predators are more likely to be the person your child loves and trusts. That's reality, so instead of spending time worrying about this faceless danger, concentrate on empowering your child to own his/her body and TELL someone what is happening to them.
But yes let's all sit around biting our fingernails in fear of the SEXUAL PREDATORS ALL AROUND!!! AHHHHHHH!
I am so tired of this attitude I could vomit.
PS: I have entered my information into a sex offender registry and found there are offenders around our area. And guess what? I'm not afraid of them. They're the face of evil I know. I'm on guard for the evil who pretends to be a kind and trust worthy person. - Sep 30, 2006, 1:09:00 PM
- Oct 25, 2006, 3:02:00 AM
As a mom from Washington Heights i have observed that most stay at home parent who don't have a social life would come to the playground to create one.As a parent i have witness this particular incident where some of the parents was socializing and one of the parent deep in conversation he walked out of the playground leaving his little daughter begin, a couple minutes later the dad came running to get her, where the child in-question was traumatize and screaming for her dad. so my fact is it goes both ways.I have known that nanny for quite some time and never saw the child lonely and looking for attention .As a caring parent as you claim to be you should try to focus more on your child rather than socializing with a keyboard.

I can't stand Sean Avery and was disgusted by the fact that the Rangers couldn't seem to win without him. Now that they can, I couldn't be more happy to see him sent to Hartford where he can languish on nice bus rides to Albany, Springfield, Lowell, Binghamton, Rochester and Glens Falls.
The difference between Marchand and Avery is skill. Avery is not good at hockey. When Bruins fans say they like watching Marchand, only part of it refers to the agitation stuff. It's also the reason that Pat Verbeek was such a fan favorite everywhere he played.

London 2012 Olympics: Andy Murray distances himself from row over patriotism
OLYMPIC gold medallist Andy Murray said he hoped his victory for Team GB in the final of the men's tennis tournament at London 2012 would encourage young Scots to pick up a racquet.
Murray said his commanding defeat of Roger Federer should spur authorities to improve facilities across the country so that new generations of tennis hopefuls can emulate his feat.
However, the 25-year-old Scot sought to distance himself from those looking to hijack his win for political purposes, claiming he is refusing to become "wrapped up" in the debate sparked by his celebrations at Wimbledon.
Speaking the morning after his resounding success on centre court, Murray hailed the "unbelievable" support he received from fans during the "biggest win" of his career to date, and said he was inspired to go for gold by the success of his colleagues in Team GB.
In a light-hearted moment yesterday, Murray and his girlfriend, Kim Sears, posted a picture of his two dogs wearing the gold medal, along with the silver he claimed in the mixed doubles final with Laura Robson.
The photograph of his Border terriers, Maggie May and Rusty, was taken as Murray celebrated with family and friends at his Surrey home, but already, his thoughts are turning to the next tournament.
Britain's No 1 left for Toronto yesterday as part of his preparations for the US Open in three weeks' time. Having reached four Grand Slams so far, he is optimistic that his experiences at London 2012 will allow him to go that one step further.
He told BBC Radio Scotland: "The support through the whole event was unbelievable, a real feeling of togetherness which I hadn't experienced before, and I hope more kids start playing tennis and we can get more tennis courts around the country and make it easier for kids for play.
"That's really what the plan is. You get more kids playing, you get more chance of having future success."
Murray's mother, Judy, hailed his "remarkable performance" as "incredible" and echoed her son's sentiments about the match acting as a springboard to improve tennis provision in Scotland, pointing out that the existing sporting infrastructure was not up to scratch.
She said: "The real effect of Andy's success must be to promote tennis. It is vital that we open up every possible court that we have. Clubs must open up courts to non-members, particularly children. It is crucial too that schools open up courts during the holidays.
"We have this great interest at the moment, an Olympic champion and so much good happening in tennis with the girls, that we have capitalise on the moment."
As he digested his win on Sunday, Murray said the result has helped him get over his agonising defeat to Federer at Wimbledon last month, and he now has his sights firmly set on the US Open.
"I've felt close to Grand Slams before, and obviously this is the biggest title of my career," he said. "I've got the US Open in three weeks' time, so I'll have to get myself rested.
"I'm leaving for Toronto later today, there's a tournament starts there. I play my first match on Wednesday. I've got three weeks to get myself ready for the US Open, and I hope that can be the first one.
"The Wimbledon final was four weeks ago to the day yesterday – it's definitely easier coming out the winner. The Wimbledon final was really tough, I was really emotional after. It took me quite a few days to get over it but this makes up for it."
Murray said wider success among British athletes helped to spur him on during Sunday's game, explaining: "I think it's just being part of the Olympics, the success of the other athletes and watching them, being inspired by that and wanting to try and be part of the medal tally and try and contribute to the team as much as I could.
He also sought to distance himself from the political debate which raged on social networking sites after he sang part of the national anthem and draped a Union flag over his shoulders following his win.
"In tennis I played my first team competition when I was ten. In tennis we represent Great Britain and I have done it now for 15 years, through every single age group," he explained.
"I've always loved the team competitions. I've always been proud of representing my country, but obviously still remember my roots.
"I love Scotland, I have all of my family there and I love going back and seeing everybody, but I don't get wrapped up in all of that stuff any more. I just enjoy competing for my country and I hope I did a good job of that yesterday."
Meanwhile, Murray's relatives in his hometown were among those to speak of their pride yesterday after the Royal Mail painted a post box in Dunblane High Street gold in recognition of his achievement.
Locals turned out to see the bright new monument to the town's most famous son, and said it would inspire younger generations.
Murray's uncle, Niall Erskine, who runs an optometrist's business just yards away from the newly painted box, said: "It's the best place for the post box – I can walk past it every day for the rest of my life. I love it.
"We had the most amazing day thanks to Andy. We thought he had the doubles too, but it was a huge effort. We've had some special moments. Two medals and an Olympic champion in the family, it's surreal."
Esther Duke, 47, brought her two daughters Poppy, ten, and Ruby, seven, from their Dunblane home to witness the unveiling of the post box.
She said: "We were terribly excited – it's wonderful. Andy deserves this as he's a wonderful inspiration to the children. This is something people will be able to look at and remember for years."
The Royal Mail also issued a stamp in Murray's honour yesterday, but Dunblane locals were unable to buy it because it was a public holiday.

I have no religion, mainly because most of what I do is collect material of many different religion and Mythology for personal interest and reference, such as Norse, Greek, Satanism etc.
My prized possession (in terms of religion material) is the Satanic Bible, which is friggin expensive and damn hard to get because it's banned in my Country. >_> (And it had left me broke for a week. ) Lastest religion I'm currently looking into. Kamen Riderism (LOL) Last edited by Flo; 2008-06-25 at 04:19. |

interesting that you mentioned satanism, been interested in that. especially the evangelist interpretation of Satan. that he is fact a force of chaotic good, punishing and hunting the evil with his minions of demons and reapers.

Straying away from the typical one answer, linear bravado of some of the previous posters, I personally believe religion is an extension of the human psyche to eliminate the fear that the mind will eventually die and cease to exist and that an eternal afterlife is what's waiting for the mind after it's "death." It's also a means for the mind to explain all the things science has yet to figure out.
Really, religion is everything the mind needs to create a fabricated sanctuary for itself while living in complete denial. That' being said, I'm not an atheist per say. I'm more of a realist.

For all it's flaws and incompleteness, some folks strongly believe that all things could be explained by it. Dont get me wrong though, i m not against scientific thinking. But i believe that science is not the concrete truth. More of a tool to calculate the most probable cause/consequence. Like most tools, it breaks down sometimes and requires updates from time to time.

I'm not sure what I believe but I've been agnostic for awhile. I've tried out many, many religions but none seemed right.
And it could be I'm just too lazy to devote myself to something that should take up 50% of my thoughts. I have enough trouble just getting out of bed. |

Captain Falcon's religion is Captain Falcon.
When Captain Falcon said to God: "Show me ya Moves!!" God created the Great Flood. Captain Falcon Falcon Punches God, God now lives in a shack in Guam. The true religion is yourself. You are nothing when you don't believe or follow yourself. Like Captain Falcon believes and follows Captain Falcon. You should believe and follow yourself. |

Any brits involved in this thread may wanna check this out now (think you can watch online too)
The Qur'an on C4 @ 8pm It basically is a documentary on how Muslims follow their faith around the world, the difference and variety is amazing. (Some countries women have more religious stance than the men O.o) The messages and study of their text certainly dispells a hell of a lot of myth portrayed by the media (and muslim extremists) ever since 9/11 - I particulary aim this at any Christians or Jews in here, just to have a wee think on the basis of our own religion and how Muslims percieve Jesus and Moses in their text, you'll probably find it a pleasant surprise As for athiests well... if you're at least curious for acquiring the knowledge even if you don't believe, feel free to check this program out too ^^ Religion aside, it's always fascinating to step out of our comfort zones and the world we know and live in to get a glance into how other humans thousands of miles away live their lives. In this case it includes how humans with deep, unwavered faith use it to strengthen their spirits and lives. Sometimes, it's a refreshing change to observe something different the the dull and monotone of our own daily lives

Christian here, Just simply said I enjoy life and there are many people in my community and church that I know that are always there for me like a 2nd family. I will raise my children christain faith and enjoy the peace, There is no need to think of religon as a job to do as long as you have people that love you and you stay strong in what you belive in you should never have any worries in your life. I have nothing aganist anyone else religon or if they just dont have one. Unless your killing in the name of your lord, thats just messed up, give peace a chance, if god told me to kill then i would just think I am haveing some mental problems and I might need to see a doctor.

Maybe 79% is the sweet spot for AG Lapointe's proposals
It's natural for Auditor General Jacques Lapointe to believe all his recommendations should be implemented, and implemented promptly. Nova Scotia journalists certainly seem to have accepted that view, but is it necessarily so?
In his latest report, and in the three press statements he released today to promote it, M. Lapointe complains that only 41 percent of his 2010 recommendations have been implemented to his satisfaction, and only 71 to 79 percent of the recommendations in his reports from 2007, 2008, and 2009. (He didn't add the "to his satisfaction" qualifier, but it's worth noting, since Premier Darrell Dexter complained that Lapointe sometimes refuses to sign off on recommendations that have been largely carried out, but for which a few small details are not yet in place.)
Long gone are the days when auditors general confined their attention to ensuring columns of figures add up correctly, and accurately reflect cheques drawn and receipts submitted. Nowadays, the Jacques Lapointes of the world concern themselves with "value audits" that go far beyond objective arithmetic, venturing into subjective, sometimes sweeping, judgments about public policy. Given the range and scope of his reviews — Children's Services one day, Transportation Department mechanical shops the next — M. Lapointe of necessity spends a good deal of time reviewing matters about which he and his staff are far from expert.
That's not a bad thing. It's always good to have independent eyes review important policy matters. It's also good to remember that elected Members of the Legislature hold the ultimate responsibility for policy. Reasonable and responsible people can and do disagree about such matters. Sadly for him, Lapointe's is not the last word in a parliamentary democracy.
Finally, the ship of state is more ocean liner than jet ski. Course alterations take time. There should be no surprise that implementation rates are higher for reports submitted in 2007 than in 2010.
I'd like to hear more specifics about which matters remain undone, and the extent to which they are unfinished. The government and its bureaucrats may prove to be dragging their feet. It could also be that some Lapointe recommendations work better in press releases than in practice. Maybe 79 percent isn't such a bad target.
Take that, Lord thankers
In case you missed it, CNN reporter Wolf Blitzer's attempt to enforce the journalistic requirement that survivors of natural disasters must thank God for the miracle of their escape (while avoiding mention of God's responsibility for the deaths and injuries of those who did not) backfired in Moore, Oklahoma, today yesterday, when survivor Rebecca Vitsmun politely declined to follow the script.
Vitsmun had planned to ride out the tornado with her 19-month-old son Anders by huddling in the bathtub of their home, but 10 minutes before the storm hit, she panicked and fled with with the boy in the family car. She and Anders survived unscathed; their house was flattened.
Encouraging survivors to praise the lord is standard reportorial malpractice in these stories, but the presumptuousness with which Blitzer thrust religion into the interview is arresting, and strikes a marked contrast with atheist Vitsmun's gracious demurral.
H/T: Mary Elizabeth Williams in Salon.
Here's the full interview via The Coast's Tim Bousquet.
A license to swat them away
In the closing moments of an excellent At Issues panel on CBC's The National last night, National Post columnist Andrew Coyne explained why traditional Question Period theatrics are so feckless when a real scandal envelopes government.
[If the Opposition] would slow down and ask short simple questions, rather these kind of multiple-part grandstanding theatrics, but they don't seem to be capable of that.
What sort of short questions, host Peter Mansbridge asked.
[S]imple questions of fact that put ministers on the record, where you can then compare what they say on the record with what they say later. It's more in the nature of the way a lawyer asks questions in court.
It's hard for them to resist, unfortunately, going for the big windup, you know, the big preamble beforehand, the big stream of accusations. And as we saw with John Baird, anybody who's got any experience with those is very adept at just swatting them away. It gives him license, frankly, to give non-answers when you don't ask real questions.
This is obvious to anyone who watches any question period in any Canadian legislature. Why don't opposition MPs get it, and change their tactics? Perhaps because short, simple, lawyerly questions that build an embarrassing step-by-step case against a government policy or practice do not make onto the nightly television news.
100 bottles of seeds on the wall
The late Harry Piers served as curator of the Nova Scotia Museum from 1900 and 1939. He was also Keeper of the Public Records, a position now known as Public Archivist. In these capacities, Piers received and cataloged hundreds of Nova Scotia animal, fossil, plant, and mineral specimens—along with a few crime scene photos.
Piers meticulously recorded each donation, listing its source, date, and location, together with significant details in a series of accession ledgers. Owing to their fragile condition, these records have been largely unavailable for the last half century, but the museum and the archives have recently collaborated on a project to digitize them, giving researchers ready access to the Piers Accession Ledgers.
The two institutions are celebrating the achievement with an online exhibit highlighting 60 of their favorite Harry Piers artifacts. They also produced a short YouTube video about Piers.
Those with a strong stomach may want to begin with images of the barquentine Herbert Fuller, scene of a triple murder described in this July 21, 1896 New York Times dispatch from Halifax.
The Public Archives of Nova Scotia has made great use of digital technology and social media to gain wider exposure for its collections [e.g.: here]. Unfortunately for those wanting to view online artifacts at higher resolutions, the archives employs an unwieldy Adobe Flash viewer that can only zoom into frustratingly small fragments. The effect is like viewing a large painting through a small-diameter tube. An upgrade to HTML-5 imagery is planned, and that should be a big improvement.
In the meantime, the two institutions have kindly granted Contrarian permission to reproduce a full-sized version of my favorite image from the 60 displays, a 1906 reference collection of 100 "economic seeds (useful and noxious plants) of Canada," prepared by George H. Clark, Seed Commissioner of Canada, and made available to "seed merchants and agricultural institutions" for $2.
You'll find everything from Hare's Ear Mustard and Russian Pigweed to Prickly Lettuce and Cow Cockle, each in its own glass vial, capped with an aluminum screw-top, neatly labeled in English and Latin, and secured to the cardboard display by a brass spring clamp.
The image at right shows just one of the vials, containing the blue-grey seeds of common vetch. [Click here to view the whole imagine at this resolution.]
There is something about the variety of shapes, colors, and sizes of plant seeds that captures a naturalist's fancy—the miniaturization of nature's infinitely complex blueprint, perhaps, or the magical potential of spring growth.
Do check out the full Piers exhibit for yourself.
[Place-marker here for future discussion] The civil servants responsible for husbanding Nova Scotia's voluminous documentary and photographic records responded promptly and courteously to my request for an extra large version of this image, and I am grateful to them.
However, antiquated traditions have saddled these officials with a command-and-control approach to record access, complete with application forms, contracts, fees, Crown copyright, etc. This is an artifact of a bygone era, when such resources were precious and scarce. The world has moved on to an economy of abundance in digital and print resources, and the provincial government needs to adjust.
A 6,000-mile long photograph
It's 6,000 miles long and 120 miles wide (185 x 9,000 km.). It stretches from the ice-bound Kama River in Russia's Tartaristan Province to Limpopo Province at the northern border of South Africa. It's an unusually long stretch of unbroken land, given that water covers 70 percent of the Earth's surface.
The Landsat Data Continuity Mission satellite, soon to be renamed Landsat 8, captured the image from an altitude of 438 miles (705 km.) by assembling 56 photographs taken over a 20-minute period on April 19 into a seamless unit. ThE 15-minute video below traverses its entire length. Be sure to view it in full screen mode by clicking the [ ] full screen icon at the lower right corner of the video, and at the highest resolution your monitor will accommodate by clicking the gear icon and selecting 1080p.
Others ways to view "The Long Swath" include:
- A four-minute compressed version, complete with labels and cheesy musical soundtrack. [Again, use full screen and hi-res.]
- An interactive display using the amazing Gigapan viewer.

Thanks for sharing that wonderful video. It is inspiring to see what creative minds can do when faced with a challenge.
There have been some astonishinglynegativecomments posted on various web sites with respect to the recent generosity of the Fountain family in creating the endowment for Dalhousie's performing arts program. The gist of much of the derogatory discussion was that there is no value in training people in performance skills.
Well, here is one excellent example of the value of performers to society. I won't be surprised if this goes viral and breaks all records for fundraising for the Janeway.
[Update] Greg Lukeman points out a New Zealand children's hospital fundraising video posted August 27, 2012, that may have provided inspiration for the creators of "Please Whatever Your Name Is" (posted May 15,. 2013).

I always love Classic Elite Yarns and I have been on a cotton kick for a while. Now it's the best of two worlds, cotton and alpaca (my other favorite)!

Michael Savage is Right Again: Liberalism Really is a Mental Disorder!
Michael Savage earned his Ph.D. from University of California. He is a nutrition expert, an herbal expert, and has written a total of 18 books.
"I guess people love my show because of my hard edge combined with humor and education," he says. "Those who listen to me say they hear a bit of Plato, Henry Miller, Jack Kerouac, Moses, Jesus, and Frankenstein. I pull many of my life experiences, including that of father, son, husband, brother, ice cream factory worker, busboy, lifeguard, writer, scientist, and my huge library of books." Listeners also hear top-flight guests and, in keeping with the fact that talk hosts attract the audience they deserve, listeners hear literate callers with intelligence, wit, and energy.
An independent-minded individualist, Michael Savage fits no stereotype. He attacks big government and liberal media bias, but champions the environment and animal rights. Trained as a scientist, he holds Master's degrees in medical botany and medical anthropology and earned his Ph.D. from the University of California at Berkeley in Epidemiology and Nutrition Science. Along with his book The Savage Nation and CD Best of The Savage Nation, he is author of the book "Herbs That Heal" and 17 other books.
Savage created the phrase "Compassionate Conservative" in 1994. Savage has used this concept in his radio program, as the title of his book, and in conducting the first of four hugely successful Compassionate Conservative Conventions bearing that name in 1995. Savage has consistently drawn sold-out audiences to hear him live. For Savage, these words describe a "firewall of balance" that limits how far to the right his opinions go.

Internet Gatekeeper for Linux
IMPORTANT information regarding F-Secure Internet Gatekeeper version 5.00.
This release of F-Secure Internet Gatekeeper does not contain a Web User Interface.
If you upgrade to 5.0, the Web User Interface installed with the earlier version will be uninstalled.
Users needing the Web User Interface should not upgrade at this time.
A new Web User Interface will be included soon in the upcoming release of F-Secure Internet Gatekeeper
High-performance protection at the gateway level
- Scans and protects e-mail, web traffic and file transfers
- Stops threats before they spread inside the corporation
What's new in this release:
This release contains the following new features, bugfixes and other changes that have been added since the 4.10.17 release.
-Support for F-Secure Real Time Protection Network was added to the HTTP proxy. When enabled, common files are identified by rapidly updating black and white lists. This saves system resources and improves protection.
-The malware scanning capabilities are now available by a standard ICAP interface. This enables integration with third party proxies that support ICAP.
-The list of supported distributions was reworked to focus on the most popular, current and actively supported distributions.
-Removed dependency to Java, which is a common source of security vulnerabilities. Java runtime environment is no longer distributed with the product. As a consequence, this release does not contain a web UI, but is also significantly smaller and lighter. Configuration is done by editing the configuration files directly.
-Improved quality of RPM packages. -Improved the output from IGK init scripts.
-Fixed CTS-91383: Added an option to control whether to transparently re-establish keepalive upstream HTTP connections.
