Of all the rules truckers must abide by, the cargo securement rules are likely the most often misinterpreted. In many cases, citations result not from willful neglect or negligence, but from simple ignorance or misunderstanding. And it's not always only the driver who's to blame.

For the second time, two Canadian truckload fleets earned top honors in the Truckload Carriers Association National (maybe it should be International?) Fleet Safety Awards. In his "On the Road" blog, Jim Park muses on whether Canadian truckers have a leg up in safety, despite longer work days and bigger rigs.

Great food films do so much more than excite our senses with images of delicious edibles. They tell stories about tradition, family, community, and a shared history. The Charleston City Paper gets it right in this great piece about Festival Director George Motz and his film The Mud and the Blood. Click here for the full article.

TC TO MARGARET A. CARLYLE; 20 November 1834; DOI: 10.1215/lt-18341120-TC-MAC-01; CL 7:333-336.
Chelsea, 20th Novr 1834— / Thursday Night—
My Dear Mother,
You are not to take this for a Letter; but for a mere off-put: I am not getting the Bastille taken so readily as I expected; so having seen Buller today I begged a frank from him merely to say that we were all well, and that I would write. It will serve to keep your kind heart quiet about us, which may, not improbably, be disposed to misgivings in such bitter November weather.
The Book continues to form my grand occupation: sometimes I incline to fancy that it will prove not so bad a Book; at other times, it looks poor enough: but in either case, I persevere, and study to remember your old precept at the shearing: "If it were never so little it'll no loup in again."1 I have a great deal of reading to go thro', and little arrangements to make about it, which consume time: but on the whole "one must just do the best he can."2
Our new Servants [sic] proves to be a very peaceable well-conditioned creature; and goes along, quite reasonably, and gives no fash [trouble] to any one. Considering what sort of persons London Servants usually are, we have cause again in this instance to think ourselves kindly dealt with. In the inside of the House there is nothing new, except the winter fires, and the great need we have of them. There is a fierce North East wind blowing, so dry that dust flies where the streets are not watered; and everybody you meet has a blue nose and a drop at the end of it. How are you doing in windy Scotsbrig, when it is so cold in lown [sheltered] Chelsea? Many a time I think, If you have a good fire, and are keeping yourself snug within doors? Had one but the little magical glass the Fairy Tales speak of, whereby one could at any moment see those he loved, tho' never so distant!3 But I suppose, it is better as we are.
Our friends are all come back again, and there are meetings and conversings and cullings enough. Mrs Austin has introduced Jane to a very excellent-looking Scotch lady, who lives close by: a Mrs Sommerville, distinguished in the Literary World (very strangely for a woman) as a Mathematician.4 Far better than that, she seems to have a real fund of Mother-wit, good sense and good principle: her husband is surgeon to the Chelsea Hospital (comes from Kelso, she I believe from Fife); she is a woman turned of fifty, and has seen troubles, and seems to have learned from them. I hope she will be a small acquisition to Jane, who has little sympathy with the flaffing [flighty] ways of the Cockney women, and does not esteem many of them much.
The other day we had a call from Miss Morris! Jane had waited upon her many weeks ago, but not found her visible (from ill health), and thought the people she lived with rather pitiful persons. We had supposed poor Miss Morris would not venture to return the visit: however she took a suitable chaise, and with her prim landlady (whom she left sitting in it at the door) actually came. An innocent-looking, overawed, much-compressed young creature; by no means ill-looking, with brown eyes, pale face (or rather brown-sallow, for she was not in good health), small mouth, and nose of fair proportions very slightly inclining to the turn-up sort. We made of her what was possible; and sent her away with honest good wishes.— Have you heard from Jack yet? I fancy if you have not, you now soon will. We were to send him "kind remembrances" from the lady;—whom by and by Jane must go to see again.— We had also two calls from Archy Glen, who has been and is still here vending his Glasgow Manufactures. He looks cheerfuller than he did last time; reports "no change" in his Brother, whom he purposes to see in returning Northward. He had gone to hear Edward Irving at Glasgow: saw him sitting in a chair (being unable to stand) in some kind of public room, and expounding his notions to an audience that seemed to have come mainly out of curiosity. Our other visits to and from were too long to report. Charles Buller is one of the sensiblest people I see: his Mother, from whom a very kind Letter5 came to me not long ago, says they are all going to remove into London very shortly, to settle there not far from us, and we are to be considered as door neighbours. Charlie is going to make himself notable as the most decisive of Radicals; he has come forward with most abundant promptitude on this new occasion; is to be President of a Public Meeting tomorrow night, to which I undertook to go as a dumb spectator (being curious to see such a thing) and probably shall go. You are likely to hear something of it in next Examiner. This grand change of Ministry6 appears to be taken very quietly here; rather with surprise as to what it means, or how it will go on, than with any other feeling. For myself I am sorry about it, as about most changes: there will likely be a new Election of Parliament, the whole country thrown again into ferment; and as for the ultimate issue, Providence alone can foresee it. That it may well end in mischief, nay in confusion worse than the Duke dreams of is but too probable. My work as heretofore lies quite out of it: I am an onlooker merely. God guide it all for the best; and take pity of the poor blinded Sons of men—whose ways the more I look on them the more surprise me.
Do you get the Examiner regularly on the Sabbath? Alick's Courier should in general be at Lockerby then too: Jean sends it off almost always on the very Tuesday, and has never again forgotten her two strokes. Thank her for them. We saw on one paper that Mary had got a Daughter and was doing well; a fact we were very glad indeed to be apprised [of.] Give my brotherly affection to poor Mary. I hope soon to hear more fully about both you [and] her.— In fact, when I calculate, it is but a very small allowance of [news?] that my Annandale friends do allow me. Since the Month of May, as I reckon, si[mply] the number Three! Again I say, my dear Mother, it is on you slow as your hand is that I depend. Oh I know well were your speed equal to your will I should [want not?] for that nor for any other good in this world—or in a better world than this. I will continue writing to you regularly with or without answer; and endeavour to satisfy myself with the assurance that you are struggling on in some tolerable way, till I come and see it again with my own eyes. May the good God long keep it so, and enable us all so to struggle on, while our task here continues! But on the whole, take a pen yourself, and tell me faithfully how you are; what you suffer, what you get the victory over, how you get on: any words, any writing will be so welcome to me.7
I must finish off here; and leave you with the promise of not being long in writing again. Jane partly speaks about putting in a little Note tomorrow to you or some of you: I will leave it open for her at least. Give our love to Jamie and his Wife; to Alick and his with his household: repeat to him my request for a Letter; I am very anxious to know what he has decided on; and think he cannot be so busy now.— We are struggling away with the coarsest Scotch oatmeal (finding nothing that suits better) but hope soon to have some of a right sort. Allan Cunningham sent us over (or his Wife did) a little poke of excellent quality; but, alas, it was soon done. Poor Allan has lost a Brother here lately, which grieves him much. He is a worthy kind of man: "a Dumfries mason," which among poor shards of Cockney wits is something not so inconsiderable. Last night (for a certain Dr Beattie8 from our County had me dining) I got a pinch from a snuff-box made in Jerusalem. The owner of it had been on Mount Sinai, and had some of the very granite rock of it, which if I have time some day I will go and see. He imagined he had seen the very fountains struck out by the rod of Moses! He seemed a most devout, honest man, but had come thro' much, and his head seemed a little heated.— And now good night dear Mother! May all good be near you, especially in you! My best blessings on you all!
Ever your affectionate——
T. Carlyle.

I was wondering approximately how long I should expect a chkdsk on a raid 5 array with a max capacity of 300GB would take? It seems it has been on step 4 of 5 for quite a while.
1 minute per gigabyte. But I'm guessing because I have absolutely no idea about your file system, number of files, amount of data, etc..
(I use my 1 minute per gigabyte based on real-world experience of running the SQL Server
Depends primarily on the speed of your RAID controller & disks. I have a 5 year old HP Proliant DL380G4 with a 800GB RAID5 Array hooked up to an HP SmartArray 6i. The volume is about 80% full. chkdsk took roughly an hour last time I tried, but there was nothing wrong with the volume.

In Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania, Gino Anthony Saullo Sr. will be spending from six months to one year in prison for a despicable animal cruelty crime in the torturous death of his nephew's three-year-old mixed breed dog named Pumpkin reported wnep.com.
On Friday a judge at the Luzerne County Courthouse sentenced Saullo to prison in addition to a fine of $350 restitution, and 30 hours of community service calling Saullo actions "heinous."
The dog was found hanging from a retaining wall with a drop of four feet while Pumpkin's leash had been tied to the wheels of a dumpster. A judge found Saullo guilty of felony animal cruelty in June. The dog belonged to Saullo's nephew.
In March 2013, Pumpkin had accidentally scratched Shawn's stepdaughter, and Saullo told the family he was taking the dog for a walk to calm Pumpkin down. When the dog was later found dead, Saullo told authorities he had been walking the dog along the side of the road when the dog jumped off the retaining wall. He stated he tried to pull the dog up by its leash, and Pumpkin died.
An investigation into the brutal death of Pumpkin continued when a witness found Pumpkin's tortured body describing a heart wrenching scene:
"The poor dog was full of blood; his mouth, his paws, even his ear. To me, it looked like the dog was tortured."
Saullo's nephew, Shawn was at the courthouse on Friday and was glad that his uncle has been sent to jail. Shawn called Pumpkin a great dog and stated the dog had been a devoted and beloved part of his family.
Rest in peace Pumpkin. At least you found some justice for your early and senseless death.

A Vision for Our Community
"The future is not a probable place we are being taken to,but a preferred place we are creating.The tracks to it are not found and followed,but are made by laying and constructing a trail."- Peter Ellyard, PhD, 1993
The City of Diamond Bar was incorporated in 1989. Although it is considered a relatively young city, the Diamond Bar "community" has, in fact, evolved over the last 40 years. During that time, it has enjoyed steady, managed growth, guided by a unique vision that clearly distinguishes Diamond Bar as a special community, offering an excellent environment in which to live, work and play.As noted in the City of Diamond Bar's General Plan, residents and business professionals in the community have created a foundation for the future.
Retention of the rural living community character. There is a strong, long-held goal among residents to maintain and protect distinct, physical attributes of Diamond Bar which make it a desirable place in which to live, through a careful balance of housing, businesses and services, public facilities, and preservation of significant natural environmental resources. Preservation of open space resources. Significant privately and publicly owned vacant areas exist within the boundaries of Diamond Bar and within its Sphere of Influence (SOI). The preservation of these resources contributes to the goal of retaining the City's distinct character and offers educational and recreational opportunities. Portions of the 3,591 acre Sphere of Influence (SOI) and abutting lands within the City have been included in Significant Ecological Area 15 by the County of Los Angeles. SEA 15 is considered to be a major significant ecological asset to the community. The City will play a proactive role in the preservation of this resource by assuring that extensive analysis and review precede any changes from its current uses and possibilities. Reduction of regional traffic impacts on local streets. The City is committed to a proactive involvement in regional efforts to solve and/or reduce circulation impacts on the local community. Current plans and programs for implementation of the Circulation Element are designed to reduce congestion. Promotion of viable commercial activity. The City will play a proactive role in business and economic development. Availability of a full range of desired retail goods and services and production of desired City sales tax revenue will be addressed by an Economic Development Strategic Plan. Provision of well-maintained, attractive housing. Housing which accommodates people of all ages, cultures, occupations and levels of financial status. Creation of a community environment. A community which nurtures social, cultural, religious, educational and recreational opportunities for its citizens.The constellation of all parts of this Vision should produce and project an identity which is characterized by a peaceful, safe community which cherishes the rights of its citizens to grow and prosper, to assemble and interact constructively, to create and protect family life, and to be represented by an effective, caring and productive City government. The Diamond Bar Vision recognizes that a strong, viable partnership between its citizens and elected officials will be necessary to ensure attainment of the community's vision. The "path" to the future will require a mutual commitment. The Wheels are in Motion . . .To view the detailed Goals and Objectives for the current fiscal year, click here.

The development at Forest House is a "green" and energy saving designed, precast concrete building, manufactured by Oldcastle Precast, containing 124 affordable units available to households making 60% of the AMI or less. The 109,000 square foot building also contains a superintendent's unit, landscaped open space, and 43 underground parking spaces under the first level and features a unique rooftop, commercial greenhouse that will yield 80,000 to 100,000 pounds of fresh produce a year and be distributed to residents and local markets in the Bronx.
Oldcastle Precast, using their expertise in precast concrete structures, manufactured 136,162 square feet of precast concrete hollow core plank for the floors and roof, which was specifically design to handle the unique load of a roof top greenhouse and 70,000 square feet of precast concrete wall panels to construct an energy efficient building envelope for the eight-story Forest House Development building. The exterior precast walls were cast with Glen-Gery thin-brick and sandblast type finish (via form liner) with colored concrete to provide a comprehensive exterior finish.
In addition to the housing structure, Oldcastle Precast manufactured and installed their Storm Capture® Water Reuse System. The Storm Capture Reuse System included special Storm Capture retention tanks that handle approximately 16,000 gallons of captured water and an equipment package that treats the captured water making it available for irrigation to the roof-mounted hydroponic greenhouse, providing another unique feature to this environmentally friendly project.
This is the 5th total precast concrete building solution that Blue Sea Development, the developer, and Oldcastle Precast have worked together on in the past 10 years. Oldcastle Precast worked closely with Blue Sea and ABS Architects, the project architect, during the design phase to develop a cost effective solution that met all of the project requirements.
The development team consists of Blue Sea Development Co., Blue Sea Construction Co., LLC, ABS Architects and TY Lyn International- engineering firm. The team was selected due to its history of developing quality affordable housing that is both attractive & sustainable. The Project is scheduled for completion December 2012 and is seeking LEED certification.

Wildcats Celebrate 2013 MEAC Football Championship
Courtesy: BCUathletics.com
Release: 01/18/2014
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. – Under the direction of head coach Brian Jenkins, the Bethune-Cookman University football team held its annual end-of-year banquet, celebrating the 2013 Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference champions on Saturday, Jan. 18, at the 500 Club of the Daytona International Speedway.
The M.C. for the evening was veteran sports commentator Charlie Neal, while comedian Rod Z performed a special standup act during the dinner portion of the event. The event was limited to season ticket holders, trustees and specially invited guests, due to limited seating inside the 500 Club. As expected, it was sold out occasion.
Performed much like the Academy Awards, better known as the Oscars, the evening included special team awards named after several people associated with the Bethune-Cookman University football family. Videos highlighted the nominees for each award, while the winner was revealed from an envelope by the presenter.
With assistance from Darian McCaskill of the award-winning CatEye Network, Tiffany Todd revealed the end-of-year video with a special look inside the Wildcats program. Other presentations from the CatEye Network included clips of celebrations around the season from student-athletes, coaches and support staff, as well as a "Then and Now" portion, including baby pictures and much more.
The night ended with Director of Athletics Lynn W. Thompson and Brian Jenkins giving a special award to Charlie Neal for his outstanding career announcing and broadcasting Historically Black College/University (HBCU) games for more than 40 years.
A "Herald" is the word used to describe Neal in the award.

The Labrador Institute presented "Introduction to Community Research" sessions throughout Labrador during February and March of 2011 to interested community members.
The sessions, presented by Martha MacDonald and Jennifer Wight, were sponsored by the SSHRC (Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council) and gave information to community groups about the types of research done at and by universities, and was meant to help groups to understand the process of undertaking research. They talked about research methods, products and ethics, and answered questions about community involvement in research.

The current season of "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" hasn't even wrapped up yet but there are already reports of who's in and who's out for next season. As reported by All About The Real Housewives on Friday, March 14, Lisa Vanderpump, Brandi Glanville, Kyle Richards, and Kim Richards are shoo-ins but there's something in the way of finalizing things: their pay.
According to a source, the four women want pay raises.
"Bravo loves the nucleus of these four women, even when they're fighting with each other! They always bring drama and glamor to the show. The network has resolved that it wants to bring them back. Just like the New York ladies, the Beverly Hills cast want more money...Lisa, Brandi and Kyle are all smart business women and they're going to play hardball with the network," the source told Radar Online.
Brandi in particular wants to make the $250,000 that the other women get.
As for Joyce Giraud and Carlton Gebbia, things don't look too good for them.
"They haven't been given contracts yet and it's known how producers want new people to come on the show to reinvigorate things," said the source.
Interestingly enough, there's no mention of Yolanda Foster.
When it comes to Lisa at least, arguably the fan favorite and biggest star of "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills," perhaps the producers and network should just give her what she wants. In her latest Bravo blog entry, Lisa hinted that she's done with the show and all the drama. She reminisced about how good things used to be.
"When I remember the innocence of the show four years ago, I would never have anticipated the level of cattiness and the bitchy, pack-like mentality that this experience has deteriorated into," she wrote.

TPNN reported on Saturday that Senator Ted Cruz issued a warning that Senate Democrats are set to vote to over-turn the first amendment by adding an amendment in silencing any political speech the government deems problematic.
Senator Ted Cruz spoke at the Family Research Council event on Thursday to a stunned audience of hundreds of pastors from across the country on hearing what Democrat Senator Chuck Schumer (D-NY), and 40 other Democrats are planning to do by scheduling a vote to add an amendment to target and silence conservative political organizations and political speech.
In the video, Cruz said, "I'm not making this up. Senator Chuck Schumer has announced the Senate Democrats are scheduling a vote on a constitutional amendment to give Congress the plenary power, the unlimited authority, to regulate political speech."
"Because elected officials have decided they don't like it when the citizenry has the temerity to criticize what they've done," Cruz said. "They don't like it when pastors in their community stand up and speak the truth. And it makes their lives inconvenient when they're not standing for principle and actually that's pointed out back home."
"They don't like it when pastors in their community stand up and speak the truth. And I'll note this amendment, which has 41 Democratic senators as co-sponsors… 41 Democrats have signed on to repealing the First Amendment," Cruz said. "It explicitly says nothing in this new amendment shall abridge the freedom of the press."
Earlier in this month, the Wall Street Journal (WSJ) penned a report that Senator Chuck Schumer seems to think he can he can improve on James Madison by re-writing the first amendment and over-turn political dissent.
The WSJ said," A standard liberal talking point about the Tea Party is that its constitutional designs are "extremist." But you will search in vain for any Tea Party proposal that is anywhere close to as radical as the current drive by mainstream Democrats to rewrite the Bill of Rights."
"A Constitutional amendment requires a two-thirds vote of the House and Senate and ratification by 38 states, so it has scant chance of passing any time soon. Those ample checks against self-interested legislatures are another reason to thank the Founders. But who knows what might happen the next time Democrats get super-majorities in Congress, or find a Republican like John McCain willing to give their effort bipartisan cover?"
The larger story here is how far the American left is willing to go to cripple their political opponents," WSJ said. "They're even willing to write a giant loophole into America's founding charter so Congress can limit political speech. The Tea Party's concerns about eroding liberty turn out to be more accurate than even its most devoted partisans imagined."

Deep water running is a great exercise for all athletes. It's been thought of primarily as a cross training exercise for those who are injured but everyone can benefit from it. Running in deep water is a total-body exercise that works your legs, trunk and arms, and helps to improve the cardiovascular system without the impact of running on hard services. For those who are injured it helps maintain running fitness, while healing from the injury. For everyone, it provides a great workout.
The density of water provides resistance, which causes all your muscles to work equally. The water provides less stress to your joints and at the same time, helps to increase range of motion. There is no impact, allowing injured muscles to maintain fitness, and all athletes to improve strength and cardiovascular system. Strap a flotation device, such as an AquaJogger, around your waist to help keep you afloat.
Robert J. Valentin, is founder of Blue Ocean Swimming Inc. Robert is a Level 3 ASCA (American Swimming Coaches Association) Swimming Coach and the only Deep Water Running Coach advancing the unique form of Deep Water Running, advanced by his mentor the late great swim coach, Doug Stern. Robert says that using this technique creates a a great way to maximize resistance. According to Robert, the form is to point your toes like a ballerina, keep your legs straight like a pencil (with a slight bend in the knee) and work through the hip. "The legs should be like a pendulum, move them equally back and forth, to gain the most resistance from the water, " said Robert. The arms should be at your side, elbows should have a slight bend to them and your palms should face backwards.
Robert says to "Make sure to keep your torso erect. It will help your form on land. Do not lean forward, keep your core strong and engaged." Try and stay in place, rather than move forward, to do this you really have to engage the core. Check out the attached video to make sure your form is correct.
I have to say I've been adding Deep Water Running to my own workouts, and it is serious. Following Robert Valentin's instructions makes the workouts a challenge! Many athletes have found that adding deep water running to their weekly training has increased their strength. Give it a try.

Asian Market Report: Innovation abounds at DomotexAsia/ChinaFloor
[Shanghai, China] Asian flooring suppliers exhibited a clear commitment to manufacture mechanical locking luxury vinyl tiles (LVT) and move towards better quality goods across all categories here at DomotexAsia/ChinaFloor last month.
Chinese OEM vinyl suppliers such as Jinka, Elegant Living and Fortune Tile demonstrated their ability and desire to supply leading American brands with floating, click LVT.
"Click LVT has been accepted in Europe but they're just starting to talk about it in America,bCrLf said Sid Lee, general manager, Jinka. "We licensed a locking system from Unilin and our partners in the U.S. are doing tests. We just have to see if the U.S. market will accept it.bCrLf
Chinese wood suppliers welcomed the preliminary determination by the Department of Commerce on March 22, which imposed a zero to 27.01 percent countervailing duty on imported engineered Chinese wood.
"It's a good result. Now we just have to wait for the anti-dumping results,bCrLf said Ella Chen, vice manager of Shanghai-based Sino-Maple Flooring. "If the anti-dumping is too high the product will be very expensive in the U.S. It's not good for the importer or the customer.bCrLf
Donna Lagano, vice president of marketing, B.R. Funsten, was walking the show with wood supplier John Himes, president and CEO, Wood Flooring International. For Lagano, the preliminary determination means she can maintain trusted relationships. "This is very good news for us,bCrLf she said. "We can continue to do business with the people we've been doing business with. At the end of the day, our suppliers say it will cost us about a nickel.bCrLf
Several Chinese suppliers exhibited alternative engineered wood products that would circumvent duties and tariffs. For example, Shanghai-based Vanguard Engineered Hardwood launched a vast collection of high-end wood decors atop aluminum, honeycomb cores.
"We're not quite ready for the U.S. We're a bit conservative,bCrLf said Johnny Xu, director, Vanguard Engineered Hardwood.
Chinese laminate manufacturers shifted their focus from high-gloss visuals to deep rustics with state of the art handscraped, wire-brushed, nicked and dented decors with true beveling. Here, as well at Surfaces 2011, Lamett was one of the only major suppliers to continue exhibiting long laminates. (Quick-Step and Formica exhibited six-foot plus laminates at Surfaces 2011.)
"Laminates are being made more environmentally friendly with new technology,bCrLf said Xinyue Huang, director of overseas business for Power Dekor. "Our products have better emissions, a lot less formaldehyde. Everything is also being upgraded to AC4 commercial grade. We're using more fast-growth trees.bCrLf
The Chinese commercial and upper-end residential market has begun to embrace highend carpet and rugs. Aquafil, a leading international supplier of synthetic fibers and polymers, opened a production facility in China last year to meet rising demand. Currently, Asia represents 10 percent of Aquafil's business. The U.S. and Europe represent 20 percent and 70 percent of company sales, respectively.
"Traditionally, the Chinese don't use carpet in their homes but the new upper class appreciates carpet,bCrLf said Elena Scapini, sales director, Aquafil. "The highest-end fibers are used in America but now the Chinese are using this type of yarn for niche markets, usually commercially.bCrLf
Mohawk exhibited at the show for the first time for that same reason.
"Carpet is up and coming in China and that's exactly why we're showing here,bCrLf said Michel Vermette, senior vice president of international sales and business development, Mohawk. "Here it's perceived as a high-end product. We'd rather get in earlier than later.bCrLf
Jonathan Train, vice president of development at Texas-based EarthWerks, said the show has emerged as a leader in floor innovation.
"We're quick to say that the Chinese just copy everything we're doing but it's not true,bCrLf he said. "China transformed laminate flooring with high-gloss looks and they're doing it again with click LVT. On the wood side they're often sourcing raw materials from the same places as Americans and they're continually coming out with fresh designs at competitive pricing.bCrLf
