I was SO disappointed by this product. Almost everything about it is wonderful -- the coverage is good but very matte and natural-looking. It goes on quickly, easily, and smoothly. The ingredients are great and felt very light on my skin. Its oil-control properties are INCREDIBLE! It is neither drying nor cakey. It did not irritate my sensitive skin. You get a good amount of product for a fair price. It's fantastic. So why, then, did I return it to CVS? Because I bought the lightest shade (#505, ivory) and it was still way too dark. It made my fair skin look dirty. As it oxidized throughout the day, it just got worse. To be fair, I have a really unique complexion -- very light but with cool olive undertones. It's hard to find makeup that matches me well. But CoverGirl REALLY overdid it -- I don't know how THIS can be the lightest shade, since it really is very dark. I'm so disappointed. I really wish they made this with fair-skinned girls in mind, because the horrible shade selection aside, this really is a great foundation. Bummed :(

This is a great foundation. I like it because the price is so good, its amazingly easy to blend. It's actually very easy to sweep it on. If you have dry skin, don't forget to use moisturizer bit honestly I think this powder is kinda emollient. I like that it takes me 1 minute to put on my makeup and it feels very good and looks good.I like this better than the powder foundation I got from sephora for $42(Laura mercier)....I truly like this covergirl much better.

So, I had been using Palladio's Dual Wet/Dry foundation for about a week. Unfortunately it was causing little oil bumps (the ones you squeeze & all that comes out is clear) on my chin. So, luckily I kept the receipt and returned it to Ulta.
After that, I went to Target to look at some cheaper options since my husband & I are trying to cut back. Good thing, because I found out I'm pregnant yesterday. Yay -_- Anyway, I originally purchased Cover Girl Clean Sensitive Skin makeup in warm beige and this compact in Ivory. The clean makeup was way darker than expected, and the ivory looked like straight baby powder over top, so I returned the two. I then purchased Cover Girl Clean Sensitive Skin makeup in buff beige along with the Cover Girl Clean Sensitive Skin powder compact to match. The color was perfect, but maybe that's because the makeup didn't cover anything, and again the powder looked like I did crack around my nose. Needless to say I returned them again and purchased just this compact again in classic ivory. Not only does it cover what I need it to cover, controls oil, and doesn't look too powdery.
Right now, this is HG for me. We'll see after a week what it does to my skin. Updates to come!
EDIT: I realized that you cannot reapply this powder. It makes it look extremely muddy. It also oxidizes into a completely different color. I wouldn't repurchase this. This is definitely one of those instances where you get what you pay for.

I adore this powder been using it since i was about 15 so 14 yrs now LOL stick with what works i guess.
I enjoy a medium to full coverage look, this provides and extra layer of coverage over my foundation. I find the lightest shade 505 works best for me, enough color to be natural without looking like you put white rice powder on your face (which is my main issue with other CC powders).
I personally love the sponge applicator, however if it's to much coverage using a powder brush works really well too.
The only other shade i've used is the 510 which typically gets worn in the middle of summer when i'm at my darkest.
Tried many other powders throughout the years (mineral powders / Revlons CS powder - which i hate by the way, odd since i love that foundation) and always always come back to this one.
If your looking for extra coverage you should give this a go, for the price i haven't found anything that compares.

I like this powder because it has great coverage and To me this is a dupe for the MAC studio fix powder. For the price you can't beat it... This is probably the only covergirl powder I will use.

I love this product! It literally saves me so much time on my makeup routine! I have some acne scars and the occasional acne and when I put this on, my face looks almost flawless! I finish it with a light powder from Physician's Formula to achieve the perfect look. I would buy this again. The only thing weird is the container it comes in. I'm not really sure if it closes? I love this product though! It's a time and money saver!

Dear Cover Girl (and every drugstore makeup brand that does this),
Ivory DOES NOT MEAN ORANGE AND DARK! Last time I checked, Ivory meant very fair and pretty neutral undertoned. However, Cover Girl believes Ivory is around what seems like an orange nc15, possibly nc20. It has a pretty nice texture however, and goes on quite smooth. But yet again, I look at the ingredients list only to find that Bismuth Oxychloride "may or may not" be in the formula. I don't wanna possibly break out from that, let alone leave my house looking muddy and orange. I'll have to blend down my neck until this is gone. Sigh, onto the next powder foundation.

Oh Happy Day.
For years the only foundation powder I have purchased was Beauticontrol Wet-Dy Finish, all other foundations didn't give me the coverage I was wanting. I got tired of spending 22.95 for my foundation each month. I decided to try this, since the reviews here were pretty promising, and my local grocery store gives money back guarantee on any used makeup you don't like! I have got to say that I'm thrilled. It gives me pretty decent medium-full coverage and it matches my skin color perfectly. I use it with covergirls pro finishing powder and I couldn't be happier for an everyday makeup to even my skintone and cover some light acne scar pock marks! The wet/dry from beauticontrol covers faster than covergirl but with a few extra layers I can get the same results, so now I use covergirl for my everyday look and save my beauticontrol for those special occasions! 1 compact has lasted me about 4 weeks, so for $5.50 a month I can wear makeup everyday, when I was using beauticontrol before I only wore it when I HAD to because of the cost. So happy I found this product. Definitely worth giving it a try for $5.00

This is great. Granted I don't use it. But I have for a few days and it covers really well and didn't make me oily. Make sure to moisturize well before application. One reason I didn't continue use was the shade selection. I bought Natural Ivory I believe, and it was far to dark, then I bought the lighter one and it was a bit too light, and there's no way to mix powder foundations so I just gave up. But it does perform well! Granted, didn't use it long enough to see if I would've broken out from it but, it didn't break me out in the couple days I did use it... so who knows! Great powder foundation with great coverage. Quick and easy, swipe and go!

I got this one in #515 Natural Ivory. I have been trying many different powders to replace my Lancome Dual Finish or get close to it. All have come very short of supplying me with equal coverage except for this one. Cover Girl isn't half bad. I would prefer it had a nice smell but it doesn't. It does however apply evenly, does not settle in my wrinkles, or turn me orange. I do apply moisture cream before using this powder, otherwise I think it might be somewhat drying to my more mature skin. I only say this because it says nothing about being for more mature skin, and Cover Girl has always been aimed at the younger crowd IMO. I am really loving the shade I chose for this time of the year. I think come Summer I may purchase a shade darker if needed but for now this one is perfect. It is dark enough to provide good coverage but not so dark as to point out, "Hey, she is wearing makeup!" So for now, this one works. I do want to try the other newer products from L'Oreal when I can find an appropriate shade. ;-)

I particularly liked the question regarding the role of women in the negotiation. It brought a moment of unambiguous agreement and I wonder if exploring these kinds of questions more often the two sides might experience a regular, subtle rhythm of constructive debate that in turn underpins negotiation on the bigger, tougher issues.
The only shame was the occasional harping on mutually perpetrated wrongs which serves to shut down rational discussion and sadly mires so much of the Israel-Palestine "process." It was happily not a dominant feature of this event.
Nonetheless, it was a well-balanced, neatly moderated discussion between two men who I hope one day might address each other as "brother."
24 May 2012 10:05:17pm
While it did not of course go nearly far enough, the airing of views in this program was most welcome. Points were made, especially by Mr Abdulhadi, which normally never make it into the public arena.
For that I commend the program and express my thanks to Paul Barclay for mounting it.

Meir Itzchaki, Deputy Chief of Mission, Embassy of Israel to Australia tells us the key to resolving the Palestinian-IsraeIi conflict is building trust, building confidence and sustainability in leadership. I agree. But I think it best before you cast a stone you look at the log in your own eye.
How has Israel undermined trust and confidence in the past 20 years since the Oslo process started. Time and time again we see that Israel has used naked force and the doctrine of might is right as a way to create facts on the ground. How has confidence in a two state solution been undermined by tripling the settler numbers in the West Bank since the Oslo Peace Accords 20 years ago. We have a situation now where there are 500,000 Israelis living in area conquered by Israel in 1967. That is there are 1 Israeli for every 5 Palestinians living in the West Bank. All living there illegally under the rules of war. Territory cannot be acquired by conquest. This has been a principle of international law for a century. This was the case in East Timor and Kuwait and is the case with Tibet.
When the issue of what were the number of deaths of Palestinians was raised. The moderator said all life is sacred. As a stand alone statement this is true, yes all life is sacred. However, in the context of the discussion. There needs to be a more sophisticated response.
The Israeli representative was playing the terrorism victimhood card. That is 'we Israelis have to live every day in fear because of terrorists. I myself have lost a colleague through terrorism" (or words to that effect). However, this statement was not challenged. When was the last person killed on a bus by a suicide bomber? Answer 2004. How many people were killed on buses bysuicide bombings? Answer 372 people. This is equivalent of 6.4 city buses filled to capacity. Since 2000 6421 Palestinians have been killed by Israelis. This is the equivalent of killing al the people on 111 buses. B'Tselem has found that nearly half were killed despite not taking part in hostilities. That is the equivalent of killing all the people on 52 buses filled to capacity. Israel says these were accidents. Once is an accident, twice sure...but 2,297 accidental killings?…Not only are Palestinians being killed without a satisfactory explanation and appropriate persons being held to account, but internationals are also being killed. Rachel Corrie, Iain Hook, James Miller and UN personnel at UN Patrol base Khiam were all killed without anybody within the IDF being held to account.
The excuses of Israel are wearing thin.
Israel has continued to defy international law and build as it pleases.
Australians must see through this sooner than later. As Izzat Abdulhadi
Head of the General Delegation of Palestine to Australia, Ambassador to New Zealand and the Pacific said security for Israel is based on security for Palestinians.

We are requested not to make offensive comments, yet I have listened patiently for almost an hour to the most "transparent obfuscation" of the situation by Meir Itzchaki. Every word, every phrase was deliberately chosen to hide the truth. When he was asked a simple question about the question of settlements he played the semantic game - "what are we talking about - the size of balconies". No, we are talking about Palestinian villages that are continually, day, after day being slowly eroded away. Houses, mosques, schools, orchards, grazing land, road, greenhouses are destroyed - to make way for more and more settlements. Every single day Palestinians are humiliated and belittled at check-points. Children are stolen from villages and "detained" in Israel gaols. I'm sorry but this is not the behaviour of a civilized democratic society. It is the behaviour of bully occupiers, and for Meir Itzchaki to stand there so blatantly and pretend that Israel would be a fair negotiator is farcical. Except - he did say "lets not talk about a just peace". This must have been about the only honest statement he made. I'm sorry sir but you do a dis-service to all fair-minded and honest Jews/Israelis, and insult the rest of us intelligent listeners!

Spit fire cake
I don't know what this form of cake is really called but there was a long line of people waiting to buy freshly made ones. The metal spit which is actually thick and round is dipped into the batter and then laid on a bed of coal fire. There the spit is constantly turned and the batter is quickly baked and then flavoured with your choice eg coconut. They then slide the spit out of the batter and finished is the cake. It weighs 400 grams and cost 10 RON.

1990 Honda CRX Q&A
1990 Honda CRX Question: idle surge up and down especially with headlights on
battery checks 12.45v before engine start...after engine start battery checks 14.19v... if you rev motor up just alittle battery voltage starts dropping slowly down to 12.50v....when engine is warm and with headlights on idle surges up and down if headlights turned off surge stops. please help - Killer 44
Answer 1
Your voltage readings indicate that the alternator is not working correctly on your 1990 Honda CRX. A low voltage condition when the headlights are turned on could be the cause of your idle surge. Please check connections and proper inputs to your alternator before assuming it is faulty. - Oakman

I have some greek modules installed on my installs of Ubuntu Unity 12.04, Debian Squeeze, and Lubuntu 11.10. They view fine. I have either e-Sword 9.7.2 or the latest e-Sword 10.1.
On Lubuntu 12.04 only the SBLGNT module views properly. The Nestle-Aland 26, and others do not view properly.
Due to issues with the "installer script" and search function not working, I installed e-Sword directly using the Wine Programs Loader and followed the instructions here:
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1920862 at post #2 by forrestcupp and had great results until Lubuntu 12.04.
I am wondering now if there is another tweak I can do through winetricks to get the greek modules working on 12.04?
On 11.10, Debian, and (Ubuntu Unity and Kubuntu 12.04) they just worked!
Forum at biblesupport.com suggests font problems with greek, but they appear independent of an OS. Strange that the font problem exists on one version of Ubuntu and not another.
In Lubuntu 12.04 e-Sword fonts Titus cyberbitz basic greek seems to be barred out. On 12.04 Unity it is not barred out.
Any suggestions?
Thank you

FANTASTIC GYM - one of the best and I travel a ton for work so this was great.
Plenty of restaurants and safe area to stay in.
Excellent Place To Stay
June 25, 2015
I was in Bismarck on business and had 30 of my people all staying at the Staybridge. We could not have asked for a better place. All of my people commented on how nice and pleasant the staff was and the atmosphere of the social area, especially the little fire pit area.
I unfortunately had a medical emergency while I was there and spent a few days in the hospital. I was very surprised when the staff from the hotel sent me flowers. You just don't get that kind of customer care at many hotels.
My compliments to Jeanette and her staff. They handled all of our requests with a smile. Sam who worked behind the desk made a big impression with all of her assistance in working with me and making sure I got copies of all of the invoices for my people.
If I have to return to Bismarck for anything, you can bet I will be staying at the Staybridge Suites.
Thank You for a great job done!!!!!!

June 24, 2015
We checked-in to the hotel during a power outage in Bismarck. The staff assisted us to our room with flashlights and when we entered the room it was a mess - the sofa bed was opened and used. The other bed had been messed as well. Staff got us to another room which and we were told that the power should come back on shortly. It was already late so we simply went to sleep. The next morning we still had no power. We could not shower as we had no hot water. We had no breakfast service. We could not even get a cup of coffee. We had no access to the pool or hot tub. We were charged full price for the room - even though we had limited access to all of the amenities. I understand that the power outage was out of control of the hotel, however, a substantial discount off our bill could have been made or some other arrangements to compensate for the lack of facility use.

ANS NEWSLETTER May 1999 Radiation Protection and Shielding Division http://www-rsicc.ornl.gov/rpsd/RPSD.html Officers and Chairs of Chairman's Message (Bernadette Kirk) Standing Committees I salute the officers of RPSD and the committee chairs for their work and support of the Chair. I have been Membership Chair, Chair Secretary and Treasurer of RPSD; thus I understand the weight of the work. So far, being RPSD chair has been the easiest role, Bernadette L. Kirk only because the executive board and committee chairs have done the brunt of the labor - with the chair viewing the happenings from afar. I also salute the members, for without each of you, there would not be a strong division. Phone 423-574-6176 There are many changes. Fax 423-574-6182 Welcome, Bob Little to the 1999-2000 chairmanship of RPSD. Bob's willingness to be in the support role meant rolling out the firstname.lastname@example.com newsletter. Collecting items for the issues is not a simple chore. Vice-Chair / Chair-Elect Ray Klann of Argonne National Laboratory, Chair of the Program Committee, is stepping down. Ray has done a superb job in Robert C. Little coordinating all the paper reviews and sessions at the national meetings and in planning of the topicals. Ray served as vice-chair of Phone 505-665-3487 the committee from 1992-1994. He acquired the chair in 1994. Fax 505-665-5553 Mike Momeni of Illinois Department of Nuclear Safety, is the outgoing Honors and Awards Chair. Mike's coordination of the awards has been very efficient and timely. During his tenure, the Rockwell award was given to Wilbur Bunch. email@example.com Bob Roussin of Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL), who served as Benchmark Chair until the past year, relinquished his Secretary position to Hamilton Hunter also of ORNL. Both individuals are worthy of recognition for their determination to promote Jennifer E. Tanner benchmark activities. One major product of this effort is the Shielding Integral Benchmark Archival Database (SINBAD), distributed by the Radiation Safety Information Computational Center (RSICC). Hamilton is also the division representative to the Phone 509-375-6626 Public Policy Committee. Fax 509-375-6936 The American Nuclear Society is in the process of transitioning to keep up with the changing times and electronic revolution. email@example.com There have been three stages so far: Infrastructure I, Infrastructure II and now Infrastructure III. The latter is focused on the divisions. On March 20-21, 1999, the ANS Treasurer Jeffrey C. Ryman President, Ted Quinn, invited all division chairs to come and discuss their respective division's view of the current situations. Highlights of discussions included: one or two national meetings per year, reduced governance at national meetings, decreasing Phone 615-576-4423 number of divisions, delegation of technical aspect of the topicals to the divisions and the business aspect to ANS to ensure success, expansion of electronic communication and electronic paper review, and ability of ANS to host web sites for each Fax 615-576-3513 division. Most of these topics are still in discussion; electronic transition and web site hosting are happening now. RPSD's position firstname.lastname@example.com is to preserve the topical commitment every two years and to support one national meeting per year. Immediate Past President / Nominating There was a lot of electronic mail passed to me and then to each of the board members. My wish was to reach out to every RPSD member with an e-mail address. I had the great trepidation, however, of 1300 e-mails returning and shutting down the local service. Jess Greenborg Even though I believe in the Internet, there is still that part of me that verges on caution. Phone 509-376-3482 My gratitude to all of you who have made the year challenging.

P. Blizard Scholarship from the initial level of $1000 to $2000 based on the continued growth of the endowment fund. Coincidentally at the same meeting, the ANS Scholarships Committee voted to increase the stipend of all ANS scholarships to a minimum level of $3000 based on the favorable earnings of the general scholarship fund. Hence, the general fund will be used to augment the RPSD fund to raise the Blizard Scholarship stipend to $3000 beginning for the 1999-2000 school year. This will help to make the Blizard Scholarship more competitive with other ANS scholarships, many of which were already at or above this level. The newest winner of the Everitt P. Blizard Scholarship is Roland R. Benke from the University of Michigan. The selection committee, consisting of Dan Ingersoll, Nolan Hertel, and John Poston, reviewed ten applications and selected Benke based on several criteria, including academic accomplishments, personal statement, references, and relevance to RPSD. Benke received his BSE in Nuclear Engineering in 1994 and an ME degree in Radiological Health Engineering in 1996, both from Michigan. His doctoral research is focused on developing new methods for in situ determination of radionuclide depth distributions in concrete and soil. Congratulations, Roland. SINBAD Project Update (Hamilton Hunter) SINBAD 98, a shielding benchmark and archive generated from experiments worldwide and input from OECD-NEA in conjunction with RSICC was released in December 1998. It includes 33 benchmarks from Fission, Fusion, and Accelerators. A push this summer will add approximately 10-15 more benchmarks; hopefully LLNL Pulsed Spheres will be ready by then. A summer student for RSICC is dedicated to this work. A new BTI Hydride Russian Benchmark from IPPE has been analyzed by RSICC staff using MCNP4B2 and looks promising. An abstract and oral presentation will be made at the ICRS-9 in Japan, October 1999 on benchmarks and their electronic storage used by SINBAD. A new use for shielding benchmarks may materialize by application to Criticality Safety Alarm work proposed by B. Briggs (INEEL). It will be a follow-on to work with the International Criticality Safety Benchmark Experiments Handbook through the NEA, INEEL, ORNL, and LANL. ORNL experiments and logbooks are being studied for possible applications in this area. Shielding experimental logbooks from two ORNL facilities, Tower Shielding Reactor and Health Physics Research Reactor, are in the process of being permanently archived at the 4500N building at ORNL. Indexes and keywords for the logbooks will be added to a database to do search and retrieval. Future plans to scan them electronically will promote long-term storage and readability. Approximately 150 individual experiments were logged from these facilities from the 1950's through their closure in the 1990's. Visit the SINBAD web site at http://www-rsicc.ornl.gov/BENCHMARKS.html. The 2000 Radiation Protection & Shielding Topical (Jennifer Tanner) The Radiation Protection and Shielding Division of the American Nuclear Society, in conjunction with the Columbia Chapter of the Health Physics Society, is sponsoring a topical conference entitled "Radiation Protection for Our National Priorities: Medicine, the Environment, and the Legacy" in Spokane, Washington, September 17-21, 2000. In preparation for an entrance to the twenty-first century, this conference will examine the state of radiation protection of individuals and their environment as well as the beneficial uses of radioactive isotopes. Tentative session topics include radiation transport and shielding, medical irradiation and isotopes, decommissioning of facilities, radiation exposure and detection, and radioactive waste immobilization and storage. In addition to the presentations, educational courses will be offered which are expected to be approved for credits that can be used for general professional enrichment. Tentative titles include shielding methodology, MCNP, (a,n) reactions, NDA (non-destructive assay) techniques, RESRAD/COMPLY usage, and skyshine calculations. Division members who wish to volunteer to help at the meeting should contact the conference organizers. The Call for Papers will be ready in June and will be available at the annual ANS meeting in Boston and from the conference web site (see below). More information concerning this conference can be obtained from Harvey Goldberg, ANS-EWS, P.O. Box 941, Richland, Washington, 99352, or electronically at email@example.com. Information can also be obtained from the conference web page at http://www.ambinet.com/ans/rps2000.html. (ICRS-9) 9th International Conference on Radiation Shielding (Yujiro Ikeda) The Ninth International Conference on Radiation Shielding will be held in Tsukuba, Ibaraki, Japan on October 17-22, 1999. The conference is being organized and sponsored by JAERI, with co-sponsorship by the OECD/NEA/NSC, the Atomic Energy Society of Japan, and ORNL/RSICC. The theme of ICRS-9 is "Half a Century of Radiation Shielding Research and its Evolution into the Next Era." This conference follows previous ones at Arlington, Texas USA (1994), at Bournemouth, UK (1988), and at Tokyo, Japan (1984). The series has explored the scientific, technological, and engineering issues associated with radiation shielding in broad nuclear energy systems, accelerator facility, space, and general environments. The deadline for early registration is July 31, 1999. 250 papers have been accepted for presentation at the Conference, either in oral or poster sessions. On the first day of the conference, a keynote session will be held, where overviews will be presented for the fields of fission reactors, fusion reactors and accelerators. The program chairman of the conference will give a general review for the radiation shielding study in the same session. On the same day we will also have special sessions for the international collaboration activities and the large projects for intense neutron source facilities. The papers presented will be published as a special issue of the Journal of Nuclear Science and Technology. Technical tours have been arranged to High Energy Accelerator Research Organization (KEK) in Tsukuba on October 20 and to Japan Atomic Energy Research Institute (JAERI) in Tokai and Japan Nuclear Cycle Development Institute (JNC) in Oarai on October 22. Many optional tours are available as a guest program for accompanying persons, for example, a one-day tour to Nikko. Complete information for registration, hotel accommodations and the Tsukuba area is available at the Web site for the conference: http://icrs9.tokai.jaeri.go.jp. The preliminary agenda will be posted to this site soon. Second Report on National Needs in Ionizing Radiation Measurements (Joe McDonald) The Science and Technology Committee of the Council on Ionizing Radiation Measurements and Standards (CIRMS) has issued its second report on national needs for ionizing radiation measurements. There is a steady growth in the need for ionizing radiation measurements and physical standards due to the continued increase in the applications of radionuclides and ionizing radiation. The effort to meet the needs of the user communities for new measurements and standards requires strong collaborative efforts on the part of medical, industrial, academic and government researchers. The present study identified 25 measurement and standards needs in four general areas, which correspond to the four subcommittees of the Science and Technology Committee: Medical Applications, Public and Environmental Radiation Protection, Occupational Radiation Protection, and Industrial Applications and Materials Effects. The 25 needs are characterized by formal Measurement Program Descriptions (MPDs). In general these are programs that require concerted and coordinated efforts between industry, government and the academic community. Each MPD describes a measurement-related need, a possible solution, and the impact of that solution. Details are provided regarding the technical nature of the solution, relationship to existing programs, technical opportunities, challenges and goals. Resources available and those needed to accomplish these programs are also indicated. A progress report is given for those programs that were identified in the first CIRMS Report on National Needs in Ionizing Radiation and Standards, published in 1995. Each subcommittee has identified one MPD for which a roadmap is considered essential to meet a national goal. In the medical area, one of the most pressing needs is for national standards for air kerma strength for radioactive seeds used in prostate therapy. The environmental scientists see a need for reference methods development for characterizing chemical speciation of radionuclides in soils. The industrial and materials effects group spells out a need for dosimetry standards for medical device sterilization. And the occupational and radiation protection community requires new standards and methods for electronic personnel dosimetry. The Health Physics Society has had a role in the activities of CIRMS through the Laboratory Accreditation Committees since CIRMS inception in 1993. The MPDs not only identify needs, but help to focus limited resources and to act as a measure for progress. Substantial progress was made on several of the MPDs listed in the original Needs Report and CIRMS is always looking for new radiation measurement or standardization needs. In addition to the MPD on implementation of electronic dosimeters, some of the other MPDs of interest to the health physics community include: neutron personnel monitor improvements, extremity monitoring, transfer standards for neutron sources, in-vivo radionuclide metrology, type testing of instruments, measurement infrastructure improvements, calibration standards for field survey instruments and environmental dosimeters, standards for waste management and site remediation, etc. This 106 page report is available from CIRMS P.O. Box 1238, Duluth, GA 30136; phone/fax: (770) 622-0026; e-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com.

10 Florida members of Congress call on Gov. Scott to dump this year's testing results07/01/15 Blog
As this spring's Florida Standards Assessment results continue to trickle out, a group of Florida's congressional delegation on Wednesday asked Gov. Rick Scott to stop the process.
Contending the outcomes are tainted because of myriad computer problems during the testing period, the 10 members -- nine Democrats and one Republican -- have suggested that the scores cannot be dependable.
"Even if the statutorily mandated independent evaluation due in September deems test questions valid, serious questions remain about whether the disruptive testing conditions rendered this test an unreliable tool for assessing student learning," the group wrote. "Children across the state suffered through blank screens, crashed servers, and repeated log outs. We cannot reasonably expect our children to perform well under these circumstances."...

Under Tim Cook, Apple cracking down on supply chain managementQuality control and cost management efforts in Apple's overseas supply chain has been an even greater focus for the company under Chief Executive Tim Cook, according to a new report.
Supply chain sources from the Far East indicated to DigiTimes that Apple has "adopted even stricter management over its supply chain than before," a report published on Monday reveals. The changes include more frequent inspections, greater time spent on inspections, and a renewed focus on managing costs and product quality.
All of Apple's suppliers are being "heavily evaluated," the report said, as Apple has placed particular focus on the performance of its supply chain over the last six months.
In one example, Apple reportedly discovered a fingerprint mistakenly printed on one internal component from Apple's latest MacBook lineup. Upon discovering the error, the company allegedly demanded a recheck of its entire production line to resolve the issue.
Apple's new, stricter approach is said to be a "challenge" for production line management at suppliers. Monday's report also said that it is expected to set a new threshold for companies that might attempt to enter into Apple's supply chain.
Cook's ability to ensure Apple's supply chain runs smoothly and efficiently was known as one of his hallmarks well before he took over as CEO of Apple full-time last August. Apple co-founder Steve Jobs originally brought in Cook to make the supply chain leaner and more agile, with limited overstock of inventory.
When Cook initially took over Apple's supply chain, he cut down the number of component suppliers from 100 to 24, forcing companies to compete for Apple's business. He also shut down 10 of the 19 Apple warehouses to limit overstocking, and by September of 1998 inventory was down from a month to only six days.
Earlier this year, Cook even personally visited an iPhone production plant in Zhengzhou, China, run by Foxconn. The trip came as Apple faced media scrutiny over working conditions in its overseas supply chain.

I needed to rent a trailer to move some furniture from NY to Texas. My vehicle, 2013 Ford Expedition, came with the HD towing package; but did not come with the hitch ball and holder. I decided I wanted the type of ball that was welded rather than bolted to the ball holder (one less thing to worry about coming loose). I identified the model number of the exact Curt ball holder and then Googled it and AutoAnything came up with the exact item at a good price. It arrived in two days.

Hi..... I find it extremely hard to write about myself.... I am laid back but very hard working at the same time. I am a girlie girl, but love to get my hands dirty in the garden. I like to dress up and go wine tasting, but love to put on some jeans and go fishing too. I can be sarcastic and sassy and like to laugh...at myself too. Hopefully you can laugh at yourself once in awhile, and dont take life too seriously. I am really easygoing and I try not to judge....but even though i was brought up by some sweet hippies, I love to shoot a gun, eat meat and make fun of white guys with dread locks. :) no offense, i live in Sonoma County. I would love to go 4-wheelin or get on an ATV sometime. I also enjoy cooking and watching movies. I am not a "sappy" person, but when I am in a relationship, I am devoted to the person I am with. I love to take my dogs to the river and hope to find someone that can go camping, fishing, have a bbq or just hang at the river drinking a beer. I rarely smoke, and often go days with out a cigarette, but i don't plan on completely quitting at the moment.....but i will soon. I am looking for someone to hang with, be my best friend, eat my yummy cooking.......(he has to love to eat).........go to the beach and watch my brother surf or go on road trip. I love kids, and was a step-mom, minus actually being married for 13 years, and love her like a daughter, so kids are great if you have them, i would love to go to a soccer game or baseball game and do dome cheering. My perfect match would be a manly man that laughs often and gets my sarcasm, is spontaneous but takes care of his responsibilities too.

Former Air New Zealand boss Rob Fyfe has been appointed new chief executive of merino clothing company Icebreaker.
Mr Fyfe, who for the past nine months has been executive chairman of the Wellington-based retailer, will start his new role on Tuesday.
Current chief executive and company founder Jeremy Moon will become ''creative director'' of the business.
Mr Moon described Mr Fyfe as a "game-changing CEO" whose strengths align perfectly with Icebreaker's global goals.
"It was a big decision for me to hand over our business to another CEO, but I've seen Rob's passion for what we are building at Icebreaker and I really admire his skills, especially with people. In the end, it was easy for me to put my total trust in Rob."
Mr Fyfe left Air New Zealand at the end of 2012 after seven years at the helm. He was noted for his innovation, including some risky branding such as one advertisement in which he appeared bodypainted as an airline captain. Mr Fyfe is widely credited as helping improve the airline's fortunes after its $880 million government bailout in early 2002.
Icebreaker was launched in 1995, positioned as "a bridge between city and nature" with crossover appeal to people who don't shop in outdoor stores.
It now has 19 company-branded retail stores, over 4000 wholesale customers, direct eCommerce and over 400 employees worldwide.
Sales have tripled in the last six years and are projected to exceed $200 million in 2014, with 80% of these sales now in Europe and North America, the company says.

Hopeless romantic with tons of love to give
Need to meet someone who is kind and giving, but also know who to give too. I want someone who has God first and family is next in line. Someone who loves the arts and music and fashion, well entertainment. Lover of life and adventure. Someone who can go dancing but stay home and have dinner and a movie and be just as happy. I love a person who has strong moral fiber and who knows what it feels like to struggle but also what it is like to succeed. I enjoy a creative mind and someone open to change but still likes order. I enjoy thoughtful types who always tend to see the bigger picture and are quick to help those who are in need. I love a guy who is strong enough to protect his family, but man enough to know when to just be still and let things go. I love romance and surprises. I love roses as but I also love a burnt dinner meant for all the right reasons. I also want someone who loves to travel and has an open mind, on many levels. I am a very strong spiritual leader in my family and church and want to meet someone who isn't intimidated by my strength but instead admires it. I love animals and I love kids and most of all I love life. It doesn't hurt if he loves music and singing, and also if he likes too v Cook. I love a good meal. Giggle:-)

I'm very new to Linq and Entities Framework. I'm trying to create a WCF RIA Service into a LightSwitch Orders Management application I'm creating. I've already created 7 or 8 queries using Linq (with lot of headaches) but I succeded. Now I need to create a query who gets TotalSales and TotalExpenses by month by using three tables :
DetailsVentes (SaleDetails) composed of : DateOfOrder, Quantity, UnitPrice, Total.... etc DetailsAchat (PurchaseDetails) composed of the same fields Charges (Expenses) composed of : DateOfExpense, ExpenseType, Cost....etc
Now I want to have a query that finds the Net Income per month (income=TotalSales-TotalPurchases-TotalExpenses)
I tried this query
Return From od In Me.Context.DetailsVentes
From od2 In Me.Context.DetailsAchats
From od3 In Me.Context.Charges
Group By Month = od.Vente.DateCommande.Month, Year = od.Vente.DateCommande.Year
Into g = Group
Select New TCR With {.Month = Month, .Year = Year,
.MonthYearString = Month & "/" & Year,
.TotalVentes = g.Sum(Function(s) (s.od.PrixUnitaire * s.od.Quantité)),
.TotalAchats = g.Sum(Function(s) (s.od2.PrixAchat * s.od2.Quantité)),
.TotalCharges = g.Sum(Function(s) (s.od3.Cout))}
Where Vente is Sale (Order) and DetailVentes is OrderDetails Achat is Purchase, and DetailAchat PurchaseDetail a Charge is an Expense.
The Problem is I got weird results. All values (TotalVentes, TotalAchats, TotalCharges) are multiplicated by 13 !
For eg if I have 10 000 USD totalSales for June 2011, this query returns 130 000 USD !
I'm really stuck 4 days trying to get the correct query.
I repeat I'm new to Linq :p
Thank you very much.
Edit : I tried @Jason advice I did this :
Return From c In Me.Context.Charges
Join v In Me.Context.DetailsVentes On c.DateCharge.Month Equals v.Vente.DateCommande.Month And c.DateCharge.Year Equals v.Vente.DateCommande.Year
Join a In Me.Context.DetailsAchats On c.DateCharge.Month Equals a.Achat.DateCommande.Month And c.DateCharge.Year Equals a.Achat.DateCommande.Year
Group By month = c.DateCharge.Month, Year = c.DateCharge.Year
Into g = Group
Select New TCR With {.Month = month, .Year = Year, .MonthYearString = "", .TotalAchats = g.Sum(Function(c) (c.a.Quantité * c.a.PrixAchat)), .TotalCharges = 45000, .TotalVentes = 250000, .TCRSingle = 0}
And results are still very weird (very high) ! Any exemple I can follow ??
Thank you.

The Autopsy Of A Business: Death By Government Regulation
Even though the economy is still in the toilet and California's economy is worse than most, the Obama administration cut the throat of a business that has survived a hundred years and produced 40% of Cali's Oysters with all the emotion of a farmer killing a chicken.
Kevin Lunny's struggle to keep his family's oyster farm running in Point Reyes National Seashore appears to be over, closing out an era of oysterman plying the park's pristine waters and ushering in the nation's newest ocean wilderness.
U.S. Interior Secretary Ken Salazar's announcement Thursday that he was allowing the oyster farm's lease to expire took many by surprise – especially Drakes Bay Oyster Co. owner Lunny – whose family also operates a cattle ranch in the park.
"We expected a different decision. We really thought that there was a right and a wrong here, and we expected the secretary to make the right decision," Lunny said.
Salazar's move keeps intact a Congressional mandate from 1976 that sought to restore Drakes Estero to its natural state, removing the oyster racks and motor boats used to shuttle the shelled delicacies to and from shore. Environmentalists and the National Park Service said the farm disturbed harbor seal pupping, and damaged native plants.
In the end, after millions of dollars spent on studies and years of heated debate, Salazar decided that returning the area to its natural state was more important than allowing a popular local business to continue operating.
Who cares if they've wiped yet another business off the map. No matter how high the taxes get, how odious the regulations become and how far the economy sinks, there will always be large numbers of successful new companies popping up to pay taxes and provide jobs.

Girl Scouts raise funds for repairs
Troop members' efforts help Millwood pay for wading pool fixes
Girl Scouts have helped raise enough money to save the Millwood City Park's wading pool.
During Tuesday's Millwood City Council meeting, Girl Scout troop leader Vicki Porter and the four members of Troop 2436 reported $11,253 has been raised to save the pool. The audience gave the girls a round of applause.
"We want to let the city of Millwood know how important this pool is to the Millwood community," Girl Scout Emma Porter said.
Before the troop's efforts, the Spokane Parks Foundation had collected $4,392 in donations. The troop has raised more than $6,800 since April.
Mayor Dan Mork congratulated the girls.
"That will get the pool fixed," Mork said. "And so fast, too."
Working with the Spokane Parks Foundation, Friends of Millwood and Inland Empire Paper Co., troop members took on the project to save the landmark last fall as part of earning their Girl Scout Silver Awards.
Inland Empire Paper is owned by the Cowles Co., which also owns The Spokeman-Review.
The council asked Maintenance Supervisor Cleve McCoul to solicit three bids for renovating the pool. The council plans to hold a special meeting later this month to award the bid and amend the budget.
City Treasurer Debbie Matkin presented the council a proposal to increase water rates by 14 percent, based on recommendations by the finance committee. Intended to offset the $25,000 deficit in the city's water fund, the increase should net the city an estimated $29,567.
"This just balances the budget," Matkin said. "This doesn't allow for future capital projects."
Rates would increase to $20 a month per 1,000 cubic feet for both residential and commercial customers. This means an average user will pay an additional $2.65 per month or $31.80 a year. The proposal also included reducing the amount of water in the monthly rate from 4,000 cubic ft to 1,000 cu ft, based on equivalent residential usage.
"To give you an idea on what 4,000 cubic feet is, that's almost 30,000 gallons a month," Freeman said. "That's a lot of water."
The new tiered rate structure calculates overages at 20 cents per 100 cubic feet for 1,000 to 2,000 cubic feet, and 30 cents per 100 cubic feet when customers exceed 2,000 cubic feet.
The council intends to hold a special meeting later this month to take public comment.
Mork opened the floor for a special hearing as the council considered a resolution by Millwood Presbyterian Church. The church hopes to replace an existing building at 3223 N. Marguerite Road with an approximately 6,000-square-foot multipurpose building.
The church's pastor, Rev. Craig Goodwin, presented a plan for the $1 million expansion on the south side of the church. Goodwin said the church has raised $500,000.
"Our vision is this is going to be a space not just for members of the church but really the community at large," Goodwin said.
The council unanimously approved the church's proposal, noting the Planning Commission's seven conditions needing to be met.
Including requiring the church to continue with community outreach, the commission's conditions require the east entrance be moved closer to the southeast corner of the building, installing a marked crosswalk across Marguerite Road at Euclid Avenue, and cooperation with Washington State Department of Archaeology and Historic Preservation to inventory the existing building.
Approval of site plan is contingent upon vacation of an alley. A special public hearing to vacate the north side of the alley located on the church property is planned for the next regularly scheduled council meeting.

Athletes sink, swim in social media
- From: Herald Sun
- December 28, 2012
FOOTBALLER twits, gun toting swimmers and a Good Samaritan judo fighter rank among 2012's best, wacky and down right absurd sports stars' forays into social media.
Carlton's Brock McLean takes the cake for the most absurd home grown outburst when he suggested a Twitter troll's mother had given him aids.
The midfielder's costly response followed an agitator's tweet: "Did you finally get delisted" after the ball magnet posted: "Today can f--- right off."
McLean was suspended and fined $5000 by Carlton for his "No, your mum has given me aids" retort.
But McLean was not alone in creating a stir in under 140 characters.

While reading this profile, I recommend that you listen to Africa by Toto, to fully enhance the experience.
[ Yes, my profile picture is me riding a unicorn while wielding a lightsaber. Because why the hell not. ]
**I'm leaving the country this August to do my PhD in the USA, so I'm not really looking for anything too serious right now, but if you're just looking for someone to enjoy some casual fun with, i am about for a few months.**
First things first, I am a recovering alcoholic and addict, with a little over seven and a half years clean and sober. Consequently, I don't drink alcohol at all. If that's an issue for you, then, well, have fun out there. I attend meetings at least three nights a week, but I'm completely comfortable around people drinking etc. so don't worry about upsetting me.
That said, I've not joined a monastic order or anything, I still love to be out and about, doing all manner of things. I play rugby and remain very much involved in the social side of my club, although I'm certainly not your stereotypical rugby lad. I've also taken up coaching the under-18 side. A few other ways I spend my time include going to gigs, (usually hardcore, punk or metal) clubbing (in particular trance, hardcore or drum and bass nights with my sober mates, but I'm open to most genres) and nights spent in deep debate (read: ridiculous conversation) in a quiet-ish pub (normally with old school friends including my housemates, who I'm very close to).
I do have a really busy schedule, teaching physics full time as well as attending meetings, and playing, training, coaching, and working out for, rugby. But I'd like to find someone I can share some of my few free hours and plenty of laughs with, who's smart and funny, and who doesn't take life too seriously.
Anyway, thanks for reading, I hope you find what you're looking for.

2000 Jaguar S-Type Q&A
2000 Jaguar S-Type Question: how to tell if fuell filter needs to be replaced?
engine wont start - Patricko75
Answer 1
Lots of people do not replace the fuel filter for the entire life of their car. You should replace it obviously, but I've only seen fuel filters cause a car not to start on very old metal fuel tank cars with CIS fuel distribution systems. Jaguar S-types have a history of crank shaft position sensor failure. With almost any hand held scanner that will show you the data stream, you can observe RPM speed on the scanner hooked to your car while you are cranking the engine and trying to start it. If the scanner reads 0 RPM while the engine is cranking, then you have a bad crank sensor. This part is available at the jag dealer for around 30 bucks. The sensor is located behind the passenger front tire. remove the plastic in the wheel well and there it is. Honestly though, that's just the most typical S-Type No-start issue. There are a great many causes for no starts in all cars. That jag also has a very sensitive PCM (engine control module). That is the computer that controls the operation of the engine. If you have jump started the car improperly for example, it could be damaged. - BBMW
