[quote="sandeepkhamdalka":14jno39g][quote="stcraftie59":14jno39g]A firefox crop circle and what looks like a bunch of kid arrested? Very cool that it happened and was photographed at a perfect time. Also, this is from Oregon, about 35 miles SSW from Portland.
Veljkovic, the map in your post looks like it was set to View/Users map. I backed out for a better look and a bunch of avatars popped up... <!-- s:o --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_e_surprised.gif" alt=":o" title="Surprised" /><!-- s:o -->)[/quote:14jno39g][/quote:14jno39g] |

Another blip, sorry blimp. Aerostat also made in Dover, DE

Sorry, John, but you are wrong. Aerostats are not made in Dover. ILC Dover miles away from here. |

| So then someone needs to copy the little bit of info from the smaller tag into the bigger one and then delete the smaller one. Yes I know the smaller tag is also older but it has been repurposed from something else entirely, so its age is meaningless. |

CGondim, you are absolutely correct of course. For someone who is ranked second, Ken should not have neglected this issue before submitting it. Be that as it may, it is encouraging to see a new AU like yourself taking the privilege responsibly as well as asking the right questions. <!-- s:) --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_e_smile.gif" alt=":)" title="Smile" /><!-- s:) --> |

Actually, we shouldn't have to stand for carelessness from [u:36of37o6]anyone[/u:36of37o6] and one should not feel discomfort in doing so. The matter is simple: a user, in this case kencummings, posted a link to an interesting place which was poorly tagged. Cue inevitable constructive criticism. This is not about being uncomfortable with a [u:36of37o6]particular[/u:36of37o6] advanced user, this is about ensuring an advanced user is aware of the full spectrum of his/her responsibilities.
With this said, we are human and we make mistakes. However, we shouldn't be making the same mistakes over and over again even after constant advice, guidance and criticism.
The Dr Bhimrao Ambedkar Samajik Parivartan Prateek Sthal site or Ambedkar Memorial is researchable by non-locals. As a matter of fact, it is just as easy researching it than by posting a link to its tag in this forum.
Here are a few links I turned up from the UK:
<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ambedkar_Memorial">en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ambedkar_Memorial<;!-- m -->
<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="tinyurl.com/cmvnadz">tinyurl.com/cmvnadz<;!-- m -->
<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="tinyurl.com/chwxt25">tinyurl.com/chwxt25<;!-- m -->
And if one feels daunted about marking its subsections, here you go:
<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="www.up-tourism.com/destination/lucknow/other_attraction...">www.up-tourism.com/destination/l ... action.htm<!-- m -->

Two possibilities: 1) Truckers rest stop pullover or 2) truck enforcement or speeding enforcement areas for police...we have a few of those here in Delaware <!-- s;) --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_e_wink.gif" alt=";)" title="Wink" /><!-- s;) -->

Joyride?? That looks too uniform to be rubber. Much more likely he's spilling something out of the back of his truck. |

There's only a single continuous strip (except for a tiny section where he did the loop thru the parking lot), so that would mean that the same tire was getting all the action the whole time. Let's say it was on the left side and he had it partially airborne as he leaned into it while hanging a [u:3w50h6ab]left[/u:3w50h6ab] into that parking lot. But when he came out of the parking lot again, this time he's hanging a [u:3w50h6ab]right[/u:3w50h6ab] turn and it's still that [u:3w50h6ab]same[/u:3w50h6ab] tire doing the damage? I just don't believe it. |

| The strips are too wide to be from a tire. Look at their width compared to the cars. It does appear to be something leaking from a vehicle like maybe a garbage truck |

Or an Oil Leaking from an engine. The strips is a single with a very long black line of strips. Look at the middle intersection where other vehicles had crossed on the previous strips, it scattered wide on the road. <!-- s:lol: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_lol.gif" alt=":lol:" title="Laughing" /><!-- s:lol: --> |

sorry...to burst your bubble; i mean the one who made this road layout...this road layout(at the interchange) won't pass my standard in road "making" because when i checked the overpass roads, it showed as ground level instead of overpass1,overpass2,etc...so finally you are correct: 'it is more confusing' ! <!-- s8-) --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_cool.gif" alt="8-)" title="Cool" /><!-- s8-) --> |
