text: BEFORE THE WORKERS' COMPENSATION BOARD OF THE STATE OF OREGON HEARINGS DIVISION Oregon Occupational Safety & Health Division ) Docket No: SH91278 Plaintiff ) Citation No. P679505991 TRUAX CORPORATION Defendant ) OPINION AND ORDER A hearing in the above captioned case was held in Salem, Oregon on February 11, 1992 before the undersigned referee. The court reporting service was Business Support Services. The Oregon Occupational Safety & Health Division of the Department of Insurance and Finance (hereinafter OROSHA) was represented by Barry Elwell, a law student certified to appear in this case pursuant to the Oregon Supreme Court's law student appearance rules and pursuant to the consent of his supervising attorney, Norman Kelley, Assistant Attorney General. The employer, Truax Corporation, was represented by its attorney, Craig Crispin. This is a contested case under the Oregon Safe Employment Act. The employer has appealed a citation issued by OROSHA on July 11, 1991 which cited it for allegedly violating three standards OAR 437-127-015(1), 437-127-020(1), and 437-40-045(2)(a) promulgated by the Director of the Department of Insurance and Finance pursuant to the Director's authority under the Oregon Safe Employment Act (ORS Chapter 654). At the hearing the employer advised that it was challenging Items 1-1 and 1-3 in the citation only with respect to whether a violation occurred and that it was challenging Item 1-2 with respect to both the occurrence of a violation and the correctness of the penalty amount. Following the hearing the record was kept open for the submission by counsel of certain case decisions pertinent to the issues in this matter, and for the receipt of a transcript of the testimony. The last of these materials was received on February 27, 1992 and the record was closed at that time. FINDINGS OF FACT Truax Corporation (hereinafter, the employer) is a business which operates retail gasoline stations at approximately 50 locations in Oregon. It has about 200 employees. It is a closelyheld corporation. The upper management is made up of John Truax, the owner and president, and Herbert Rowley, the vicepresident. The employer has three area supervisors, who are responsible for the individual stations within their area. Their duties include hiring and firinq and carrying out the policies of the employer. On June 19, 1991 Jeff Pfeifer, a safety compliance officer with OROSHA, inspected the employer's station located at 1503 N. Riverside in Medford. In the course of his inspection Pfeifer found that the following items were not contained in the station's first aid kit: eight 3" x 3" gauze pads, two 8" x 10" gauze pads, one triangular bandage, one blanket or its equivalent, and a soap and water solution or moistened towelettes for cleaning wounds. Pfeifer also determined that the station had no qualified first aid person available at the site and that no safety committee had been established at the site. Based upon the information obtained by Pfeifer during his June 19, 1991 inspection, OROSHA issued a citation to the employer on July 11, 1991, citing it for allegedly violating three separate standards in the Oregon Occupational Safety and Health Code: OAR 437-127-015(1), 437-127-020(1), and 437-40-045(2)(a). At the time of Pfeifer's inspection on June 19, 1991 the employer's station on N. Riverside was located about one mile from Providence Hospital, which has an emergency room. It takes approximately 25 minutes to drive from the station to the hospital. At the time of Pfeifer's June 19, 1991 inspection the employer's station on N. Riverside in Medford did not have both management and workers at the site, did not have control over a portion of the employer's budget, and did not have the ability to take action on recommendations made by a safety committee. Rather, the station, like the employer's numerous other stations throughout Oregon, was a satellite location for which the employer had established a single, centralized safety committee to represent the safety and health concerns of the Medford station and all other stations. The safety committee was composed of five people: Herbert Rowley, the employer's vicepresident; Russ Sternberg, the supervisor for the area that included the Medford station; an employee from one of the employer's stations in Salem; an employee from one of the employer's stations in Corvallis; and an employee from the employer's transportation branch (which handles the gasoline hauling for the employer). This safety committee met every 12 months. The committee did inspections of the various stations around the state. It also investigated accidents. About once every quarter the committee members would go out and talk to the various employees at the different stations. The employer's company handbook, which each employee is required to read and sign, contains information regarding the safety committee. Posted next to the time clock at each station operated by the employer is the name of the safety committee with an 800 telephone number to call. If an employee calls said number he/she is put in contact with Sternberg, the chairperson of the committee. OPINION AND CONCLUSIONS The issue with regard to Item 1-1 in the citation is whether the employer violated OAR 437-127-015(1). This safety standard requires that certain minimum first aid supplies be in proximity to all employees. Based upon the credible testimony of Pfeifer, I find that the employer's first aid kit at its N. Riverside station in Medford did not contain, at the time of Pfeifer's inspection, certain items required by the applicable standard: specifically, eight 3" x 3" gauze pads, two 8" x 10" gauze pads, one triangular bandage, one blanket or its equivalent, and a soap and water solution or moistened towelettes for cleansing a wound. See OAR 437-127-015(1) and (2). I find that at the time of the inspection in June 1991 the employer was not in compliance with the abovereferenced standard. I conclude that OROSHA has established the violation set forth in Item 1-1 of the citation. Item 1-2 of the citation alleges a violation of OAR 437-127-020(1). This standard requires that a qualified first aid person meaning a person with evidence to show first aid training by the Red Cross or equivalent within the past three years (see OAR 437-127-005(1)) shall be available to any place of employment which is not in proximity to an emergency care service. There is no dispute that the employer did not have a qualified first aid person available at the N. Riverside station in Medford at the time of the inspection in June 1991. The employer contends that, per OAR 437-127-020(1) and (4), a first aid person was not required because an emergency care service, Providence Hospital, was in proximity to the station. According to OAR 437-127-005(4) an "emergency care service" includes a hospital. Per OAR 437-127-005(3) "in proximity" means "that which is available immediately in the event of need and is not to be confused with readily accessible". The term "readily accessible" means having an ambulance with qualified attendants at the victim's side in 30 minutes or less. See OAR 437-127-005(2). Pfeifer testified that he travels on a daily basis in the area where Providence Hospital and the employer's station are located. He said the hospital is about one mile from the station. He estimated it would take 25 minutes to drive to the hospital from the station. Sternberg testified that he, too, is familiar with the area where the hospital and the station are located, although he does not travel in the area as frequently as Pfeifer. He testified that he thought it would take about three minutes to drive from the station to the hospital during rush hour traffic. Based upon the testimony of Pfeifer and Sternberg, I find that Providence Hospital (which, according to Pfeifer, has an emergency room) is about one mile from the employer's station in Medford and that it would take 25 minutes to drive from the station to the hospital. The question is whether this puts the hospital "in proximity" to the station. OAR 437-127-005(3) does not define "in proximity" in terms of a specific distance or number of minutes. Neither party has cited any Oregon cases regarding the meaning and application of the term "in proximity". The parties did cite several federal decisions which address a similar safety rule: 29 CFR section 1910.151(b). This federal rule uses the term "in near proximity". In Brennan v. Occupational Safety and Health Review Commission, 505 F. 2d 869 (1974), a violation of the federal rule was upheld where the nearest hospital was 7 minutes away from the worksite in good weather and traffic conditions. The decision indicates that there was an ambulance service 4 minutes away from the worksite under optimum conditions, but the decision is not clear as to whether the ambulance service was open during the full 24hour operation of the workplace in question. In Clavier Corp., OSHRC No. 627, 19721973 CCH Safety Decisions 15,800 (1973), it was determined that a hospital 1.7 miles from the workplace was "in near proximity". In Slyter Chair, Inc., OSHRC No. 1263, 19731974 CCH Safety Decision ~ 17,397 (1974), a hospital that was 3 minutes' drive from the workplace was determined to satisfy the "in near proximity" requirement of 29 CFR section 1910.151(b). The above cited federal cases are not controlling in this matter. However, they do provide some guidance in construing and applying the term "in proximity". I am persuaded that the evidence in this case is closer to the situation in Clavier and Slyter than Brennan. I find that Providence Hospital is an emergency care service "in proximity" to the employer's N. Riverside station in Medford. I therefore conclude that the employer was not in violation of OAR 437-127-020 at the time of the inspection in June 1991. Accordingly, Item 1-2 in the citation must be set aside. Item 13 in the citation is based upon an alleged violation of OAR 437-40-045(2)(a). Specifically, the citation alleges that the employer violated the standard because no safety committee had been established at the worksite on N. Riverside in Medford (Ex. 1, p. 4). There is no dispute that the employer did not have a safety committee at the N. Riverside station in Medford. However, the standard that is the basis for the alleged violation in Item 1-3 OAR 437-40-045 does not necessarily require a safety committee at each and every worksite for an employer with operations at multiple locations in the state. Subsection (7) of the standard provides that a safety committee shall be established at each of the employer's primary places of employment. A "primary place of employment" is described as a location that has "both management and workers present, would have control over a portion of a budget, and would have the ability to take action on the majority of the recommendations made by a safety committee." Subsection (8) of the standard provides that a single, centralized safety committee can be set up for an employer's various satellite locations. The employer's N. Riverside station in Medford does not fit the description of a "primary place of employment" set forth in OAR 437-40-045(7). Based upon the credible testimony of Herbert Rowley, the employer's vicepresident, I find that said station is not a major economic unit, does not have management and workers present at the site, does not have control over a portion of the employer's budget, and does not have the ability to take action on the majority of recommendations made by a safety committee. Based upon Rowley's testimony, I find that said station is more like a satellite location, one of many owned by the employer throughout Oregon. Per OAR 437-40-045(8), a single, centralized safety committee can be established for such satellite locations. Based upon the credible testimony of Rowley, I find that this is exactly what the employer had established at the time of the inspection in June 1991. The employer's centralized safety committee has five members: Rowley, Sternberg, and three employee members (two from different station locations and one from the employer's transportation branch). Rowley testified that information about the safety committee is contained in the company handbook, which each employee is required to read and sign. He further testified that next to the time clock at each station is posted the name of the safety committee with an 800 telephone number to call. He said the safety committee meets every 12 months, performs joint inspections at the various stations, and investigates accidents. Based upon the evidence presented, I conclude that'the employer was not required by OAR 437-40-045 to have a safety committee established at its Medford station. Rather, it was simply required to have a centralized safety committee to represent the safety and health concerns of all of its gas stations, including the one in Medford. The evidence establishes that such a centralized committee was in operation at the time of the inspection in June 1991. I conclude that OROSHA has not established a violation of OAR 437-40-045. Accordinqly, Item 1-3 must be set aside. At the hearing OROSHA seemed to contend, as reflected by some of the testimony it offered and by its counsel's comments, that Item 1-3 in the citation was based not only on a violation of OAR 437-40-045, but also on a violation of 437-40-046. The latter deals with requirements regarding the formation and membership of a safety committee. The employer contends that OROSHA cannot rely on 437-40-046 in this proceeding because said standard was not included in the citation as a basis for an alleged violation of the safety code. I agree with the employer's position. The citation in this case is based with regard to Item 1-3 solely on OAR 437-40-045 and the specific alleqation that the employer had no safety committee established at the Medford site at the time of the inspection. OROSHA did not cite the employer for an alleged noncompliance with one or more of the requirements of 437-40-046 with regard to a centralized safety committee. OROSHA has cited no authority in support of its attempt to "expand" the citation to include a violation of an additional standard as a basis for Item 1-3. On the contrary, ORS 654.071(2)(b) and (c) provide that a citation shall contain "a plain statement of the facts upon which the citation is based" and "a reference to the law, regulation, rule, standard or order relied upon". OAR 437-01-205(1)(d) provides that a citation shall "identify the rule or order violated". Finally, according to the Board's Rules of Practice and Procedure for Safety Cases, OROSHA can, before the issuance of the notice of hearing, amend a citation to clarify the issues in the case and the grounds for OROSHA's position. However, the amendment may not allege a new violation "violation" meaning the employer's failure to comply with a safety law, rule, or order. See OAR 438-85-526, 438-85-516(1), and 438-85-026(25). For the foregoing reasons, I conclude that the only issue with respect to Item 1-3 is whether the employer violated OAR 437-40-045, not whether it may have violated some other standard in OAR Chapter 437, Division 40 which was not set forth in the citation. As noted earlier, ' based upon the evidence presented and the applicable law, I am not persuaded that OROSHA has established that the employer violated OAR 437-40-045 at the time of the inspection in June 1 9 9 1 ORDER IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that Citation and Notice of Penalty No. P679505991 issued by OROSHA on July 11, 1991 is set aside as to Items 1-2 and 1-3. IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the Citation is affirmed as to Item 11. NOTICE TO ALL PARTIES: You are entitled to judicial review of this Order. Proceedings for review are to be instituted by filing a petition in the Court of Appeals, Supreme Court Building, Salem, Oregon 97310, within 60 days following the date this Order is entered and served as shown hereon. The procedure for such judicial review is prescribed by ORS 183.480 and ORS 183.482. ENTERED at Salem, Oregon March 30, 1992 WORKERS' COMPENSATION BOARD By John P. McCullough, Referee

Getting Work Done
By Ryan Kopf on Nov 03, 2008
As promised, I would keep this place up to date on my accomplishments this weekend. I'm pleased with what I've gotten done so far, although I would have liked to have done a little more. I believe I'm on pace for what I need to do though. What I accomplished this weekend:
- Attended four meetings on Saturday, and took notes as necessary
- volunteered four hours for Mindbridge on Sunday
- completed 2/3 of a Java learning tutorial
- finalized a poster for my first open source meetup (in the Iowa Memorial Union)
- mailed fliers for Gamicon to by put up in the Cambus buses
- did a little to advance a couple of my ruby on rails web programs
- ran another meeting of the L club
- went to the theater
- Finished my Japanese homework
- Did most of my Computer Science homework
- Probably some other things I can't remember at the moment.
Now, I've still got more to do, and hopefully I'll get a bunch done tonight.

Rising Star Of The Arabian Peninsula: Muskat
From Its Spellbinding Sandstone Buildings To Its Deep Bl Ue Waters And Red Sand Dunes, Muscat, The Capital Of Oman, Is Waiting To Be Discovered By Adventurous Travelers.
While strolling past the waterfront restaurants and cafes along the Corniche, I might easily have thought I was in a Mediterranean coastal town were it not for the ubiquitous youths sporting the traditional white dishdasha. Although it's winter, the air is tepid, "like lemonade" as we say in Turkey. Not a trace of sand on the streets, sidewalks or gleaming cars.The traffic flows smoothly along and not a horn can be heard honking since all drivers obey the regulations toa fault. For some reason, I'm not surprised when mydriver tells me Oman has been named the cleanest cityin the world after Singapore. Although the Sultan ofOman, Qaboos bin Sair al Said, is a man of vision anda beloved leader, there are some matters on which hewill brook no compromise, and order and cleanlinesstop the list. Omanis who argue loudly or swear in publicare fined. Consequently, holiday makers who come hereseeking sun and sea also enjoy the unexpected pleasureof comfort and serenity in this ancient land. And cultureseekers are met with the true exoticism that has no truckwith artificiality of any kind. After all, what we are talkingabout here is an amazing country ruled by a sultan,a country whose shores form rock formations like theNorwegian fjords - aridity notwithstanding - a country80% covered with desert where Bedouin still roam on thebacks of camels.
A quiet day on the
Al Jalali Castle once guarded the city
You may come across a silver dagger at the waist of a native!
Although it's winter, the air is tepid, "like lemonade"
Another way in which the Omanis differ from the other peoples of the Arabian peninsula is that they have distinguished themselves as seamen. Throughout their history they have fought numerous sea battles to protect their sultanate, with the result that Oman today is one of the region's key players in shipbuilding and construction of the traditional 'dhow'. Legend has it that intrepid sailor of fable, Sinbad, lived on a
small dhow in the old Omani town of Sohar some 200 kilometers north of Muscat.
Upon learning this, I decided I too should make my entrance into Muscat by sea. Al Alam, the palace of the sultanate in the white and sand-colored area known as Old Muscat, has already come into view. Built in 1972, the palace was erected smack dab in the middle of the Al Jalali and Al Mirani castles, which were built in the 16th century during the Portuguese occupation and reflect Portuguese architecture. Since visitors are not allowed inside, I content myself with gazing on the palace from afar like the hundreds of other visitors. The gold and turquoise colored entrance is characteristic in shape, but due to its relatively small size the palace as a whole exudes a homey air far from the usual opulence associated with such structures.
The well-kept English gardens where foreign men of state are entertained in an area behind the palace no doubt boasts a view of the castles, which have fended off many a would-be occupier since they were built by the Portuguese. Today when you set sail on the open sea from the east of the city you can catch a brief glimpse of the white tombstones, licked by the azure waves, of the soldiers and members of the royal family who lost their lives defending the homeland.
Muscat has become a destination on the radar of the international five-star hotel chains that have opened here in the last ten years. Thanks to these brands, which attract their own followers, the city hosts a large number of tourists especially from France, England and Switzerland. These tourism initiatives are one of the key reasons why the United Nations in 2010 named Oman the country that exhibited the most development in forty years. Numerous companies organize desert day safaris to Wahiba Sands, three hours (240 kilometers) from Muscat by car. Here, red sand covers an area 180 kilometers long and 80 kilometers wide where you can still see native Bedouin of the Nizari tribe. Made of mud and palm leaves, the houses, called barasti, of the natives, who preserve their nomadic way of life, will accompany you along the way. After setting out across the sand by jeep, be sure to take the opportunity to mix with them when you stop for a break at a green oasis. Their modern and openminded outlook will surprise you.
Most of the natives you will encounter in Oman exhibit the wisdom of peoples who for centuries have sailed the open sea to new horizons. Perhaps this is what lies behind the country's rapid development.

New golf courses are opening on the edge of the city
Muscat's 120-person Royal Symphony Orchestra is famous. What's more, you can hear Brazilian pianist Ricardo Castro's Bahia Orchestra at the Royal Opera House the evening of March 20. Shopping is another activity popular with tourists in the city. Here are two important addresses: Muttrah Souk, a traditional covered bazaar selling silver daggers, pearls, kohl, incense and jewelry, and Al Qurum, a shopping area in the city's modern district where the malls are located.
The gate of this palace, where official guests are hosted, is one of the city's symbols. It is not the residence of the sultan.
Qurum Beach
If you want to enjoy the sea air while in the city, take a stroll on this beach and relax under the mangrove trees.
Golf Courses
There are several 9-hole and 18-hole golf clubs not far from the city.
What to Eat?
Muscat boasts some fashionable restaurants serving seafood in the Corniche district. Indian food is also popular here, and a serving of yoghurt helps balance the spicy vegetarian Thali food, which is served in small portions

Absolutely beautiful! Very 'real'. Great job!
She turned out amazing!!The cap looks really cool!!
yeah I like the hat. next time I will prepare the hat a little better. I could have used glass lenses for the goggles if I had thought f it sooner.
It still looks cool,Maybe try liquid polymer,thats what I used for the six pack plastic rings on my alien fisherman.
6 pk rings? How so?
Like I did on Fwop [link] I put a thin layer of liquid sculpey on wax paper and baked it the alotted time,let it cool and then took a ink pen apart,one with a good aluminum barrel and used it like a cookie cutter and cut out holes for the cans. I was thinking the similar process could be apply to goggles or glasses,but use the cutouts for the lenses.Another idea might be to make the frames minis the ear peices,or legs ( I think thats what they call them) and lay it on wax paper and fill lens area with liquid sculpey and then bake. Just a thought,maybe this will help.
gorgeous...(her headpiece makes me think of an aviator - you know, Amelia Earhart type of thing.)
Sure yeah But its shaped like a bear with a growly face.
ahhh, I can see that now... she really is lovely--you captured the expression perfectly--looks completely natural.
I never did that before ,but have you noticed a lot of art now has cute animal caps?! Bunnies ,kitties and bears oh my!
I was almost out of mohair and that stuff if its nice is like 20 bucks an oz! So, this way I only needed a tiny bit of hair.

Coral Identification
Corals have adapted to different environments through time by evolving unique morphological or physiological features. There are hundreds of coral species, many with different colors, growth forms, and colony sizes. With so many coral species, scientists have developed a classification system to distinguish among different species based often on a such characters as a coral's morphology and/or individual corallite (skeleton) shape and size (e.g., see http://nmita.geology.uiowa.edu/florlist.htm).
Corallite shape and size
There is a wide range of variation both in corallite shape and size. Many corals have round corallites, such as mountainous star coral, while other corals have more elliptical shaped corallites like the elliptical star coral (far left photo). The size of corallites also varies with species; some corals have small corallites like the lettuce coral (middle photo), while others have very large corallites (far right photo). The internal diameter of a corallite is measured across the corallite center between the inner wall margins and is classified as small (<1.5 mm), medium (1.5-10 mm), large (10-20 mm), or huge (>20 mm).
Coral morphology
In addition to using corallite structure to identify coral species, the
morphology of the entire colony is also often used to distinguish one coral
from another. Similar to other animals, corals have a variety of growth forms –
some tall and thin, some short and robust. Generally, most corals can be
categorized in one of six general groups: branching,
mound, brain, plate, fleshy and flower. Often a single species can have
a variety of growth forms, especially at different depths; for example Diploria strigosa can form large round
heads, small hemispherical mounds, or massive columnar plates. Branching or
pillar corals have colonies composed of branches or elongated projections.
Examples include
Mound corals include mounding hemispherical, irregular-shaped or encrusting colonies whose lower surface is usually attached to the substratum. Examples include mountainous star coral (Montastraea faveolata), massive starlet coral (Siderastrea siderea), elliptical coral (Dichocoenia stokesii), and mustard hill coral (Porites astreoides). Large mound corals often have slower growth rates than branching corals. Brain corals often form hemispherical mounds, but are characterized by their unique distribution of polyps that grow in a winding pattern to give a brain-like appearance. Examples include grooved brain (Diploria labyrinthiformis), knobby brain (Diploria clivosa), and maze (Meandrina meandrites).
Mound corals:
Plate corals include plate, leaf, and sheet coral and grow in a flattened plate, saucer-like, or thin sheet fashion. They usually have thin disc-shaped colonies with corallites growing only on one side. Examples include lettuce coral (Agaricia agaricites) and thin leaf lettuce coral (Agaricia tenuifolia). Fleshy corals include plate and mound varieties but are distinguished by their large "fleshy" looking polyps. Examples include a variety of solitary disk corals and the spiny flower coral (Mussa spp.). Flower corals have solitary, encrusting or clumping growth forms and often have polyps on elongated stalks. Examples include smooth flower coral (Eusmilia fastigiata) and a variety of cup corals.

I also tried to skip the named range and just name it within the code, with this:

The second try was "Script out of range". I checked the sheet name (3 times actually ) and the workbook name. I'm at the end of my knowledge (and by knowledge I mean the end of the semi-educated guesses I can make).
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.

Ok the problem is I don't want the worksheet to be called test I want it to have a meaningful name like. 'Controls for Staff'. I cannot change the name of the worksheet to anything above 6 characters without getting an error when I enter it in the combo box source.
The error is:
Could not set the RowSource property. Invalid property value.
Anyone got any ideas?
VB:The error is generated when executing the second line. I believe that this issue occurs because the macro is not able to access the second series as it contains all #N/A's. Whether or not the series contains errors, VBA should be allowed to change the chart's source data.temp() ActiveChart.SeriesCollection(1).XValues = Range("F7:F12") ActiveChart.SeriesCollection(2).XValues = Range("F7:F12") End SubIf you like these VB formatting tags please consider sponsoring the author in support of injured Royal Marines
VB:Data!A2 is formatted with the default color, and Data!A3:A20 has cells with the scheduling code and that are formatted as I need them to be. The code checks the changed cell against the list A3:A20 and once it finds the correct code it copies that ColorIndex to the TargetCell's ColorIndex. This works like a champ when I make changes to cells manually. If I change the cell from "C" to "L" it automatically changes the background to green like it should. The problem arises because I have a drop down list that I use for quickly shifting a person's schedule from the early shift to the late shift or vice versa. Whenever I use this list to change the schedule, I get an error that pops up and says "Run-time error '1004': Unable to set the ColorIndex property of the Interior class." The code that triggers the cell's contents to change is as follows:Excel.Range) Application.EnableEvents = False Dim Color As Long For Each TargetCell In Target.Cells ' find the default color for the cell Color = Worksheets("Data").Range("A2").Interior.ColorIndex ' check each cell in the Data!A3:A20 range for the correct schedule code For Each DataCell In Worksheets("Data").Range("A3:A20") If DataCell.Value = TargetCell.Value Then ' when we find the right schedule code, grab the background color Color = DataCell.Interior.ColorIndex Exit For End If Next DataCell ' after we have found the right color for the cell, set the color TargetCell.Interior.ColorIndex = Color ' this is the line that errors Next TargetCell Application.EnableEvents = True End SubIf you like these VB formatting tags please consider sponsoring the author in support of injured Royal Marines
VB:where i is an integer counter. Setting it to C is just one example, it does not matter what string I set the cell's formula to. I found another thread where the sheet being protected was the problem and gave the same error when trying to set the Interior.ColorIndex property, but nothing in my worksheet is protected. Again, selecting the cell and typing in a value works properly, but using VBA code to set the contents of the cell causes the run-time error. Does anyone have any ideas what might cause this to happen?CellRange = "C" & i Range(CellRange).FormulaR1C1 = "C"If you like these VB formatting tags please consider sponsoring the author in support of injured Royal Marines

Konnan said on his new MLW podcast Sunday night that Jeff Jarrett told him he's going to make an announcement this week on his new project. He revealed that Jarrett said TNA Wrestling is in really bad shape and he doesn't know or care if they see the year. The former WCW star basically said that Jarrett would be starting a new promotion with country music singer Toby Keith.
Tuesday, January 7, 2014 3:00 PM EST Update: Please allow me to clarify my paraphrase. Konnan said if he had to guess, that would be his guess. He did not speak of it as a definitive fact. I apologize if that's how it was taken. End update.
Another element to this is Jim Ross. After teasing he was meeting with a "major sports concern" last week, he Tweeted the following:
"@Judge1979: @JRsBBQ Meeting with Toby Keith eh? Maybe him and @JeffJarrettTNA have an offer you can't refuse? #conspiracytheory" Hmm.
— Jim Ross (@JRsBBQ) January 1, 2014
We reported here on WrestlingNewsWorld.com Premium on Christmas Eve that Jarrett might be looking to start a new promotion with Toby Keith, who was the lead financial backer in a group looking to purchase TNA Wrestling.

Genre: Rock
You've applied the pressure
To have me crystallized
And you've got the faith
That I could bring paradise
I'll forgive and forget
Before I'm paralyzed
Do I have to keep up the pace
To keep you satisfied?
Things have gotten closer to the sun
And I've done things in small doses
So don't think that I'm pushing you away
When you're the one that I've kept closest
You don't move slow
In taking steps in my direction
The sound resounds echo
Does it lessen your affection? No
You say I'm foolish
For pushing this aside
But burn down our home
I won't leave alive
Glaciers have melted to the sea
I wish the tide would take me over
I've been down on my knees
And you just keep on getting closer
Glaciers have melted to the sea
(Things have gotten closer to the sun)
I wish the tide would take me over
(And I've done things in small doses)
I've been down onto my knees
(So don't think that I'm pushing you away)
And you just keep on getting closer
(When you're the one that I've kept closest)
Go slow
Go slow
Go slow
Go slow
Go slow
Yes it does sound like one of the people there is pushing for relationship to go faster but the other one wants to take his or her time. No matter what, it's a beautiful, mesmerizing song.
What is happening to me right now... this song seems to describe it
You've applied the pressure to have me crystallized
(one is pushing the relationship to go forward too much, causing pressure on the other)
And you've got the faith that I could bring paradise
(this person clings too much on the other to attain happiness)
I'll forgive and forget Before I'm paralyzed
(but she will try not to think of it or blame the other, in order to continue the relationship)
Do I have to keep up the pace To keep you satisfied
(and she wonders if she has to go as fast as him n order not to lose him)
Things have gotten closer to the sun
things are getting more serious)
And I've done things in small doses
(and she likes to go little by little)
So don't think that I'm pushing you away When you're the one that I've kept closest
(going this slow may seem cold to him, but it's her way to like or love someone)
You don't move slow Taking steps in my direction
(he is always trying to strengthen the relationship)
The sound resounds, echo. Does it lesson your affection? no
(things repeat themselves in this slow pace, but he keeps insisting)
You say I'm foolish For pushing this aside
(she doesn't treat the relationship as her main objective)
But burn down our home I won't leave alive
(but she really likes him)
Glaciers have melted to the sea I wish the tide would take me over
(he is making her less cold, and she feels like going with the flow)
I've been down on my knees And you just keep on getting closer
(she's got her defenses open, he sees that and keeps evolving the relation)
Go slow
(but she still begs... go slow)
The song is about meth addiction. Hence the title
crystalised.................................................... "
I agree.
Pro evolution soccer 2011 song
Great song
I understand that music can be interpreted as anything the individual desires it to mean. If this song is about a drug addiction to the writer than to me it still means it is related to love. Lust/Love/Infatuation is all an addiction. We get so sick when our desires go unfulfilled that we actually feel sick and maybe even a sense of doom if we do not get who we want. However, this song to me feels like one person demands more from the relationship than the other person can give. Maybe it will never be enough for some, but maybe some expectations will never be a realistic demand to others. Some individuals are just built in this fashion, to let feelings and emotions show very little at a time, sometimes not at all... So they want you to "Go Slow"... To an addict there is no such thing. There is a constant need for more and an increase in the dose every time.
love love love love love.
A great song that relaxes me. (Y)
I absolutely LOVE this song :D The guitar is amazing. It has such a deep meaning
This song is about llamas in space
The song is about expactations and the fear to not fullfill them.
People try to give sense to their life by other people, especially those involving love.
That is an enormous pressure for the beloved person.
It's never about the meaning of a song, it's about the feeling it gives you...
just found the song today...you are right! it is getting u from inside!!!
mix of pain, passion and pleasure...a bit of relaxation, casual look and comfort, something up-side-down, the feeling of touches and kisses, salty tears and, of course, addition!!!!!!!!!!!
masterpiece!! no matter about what: life, love, sex, drugs or commitment!!!
love it!!! go on slow!! go ooonn slow!
yeah, the song is about putting his addiction aside in order not to loose her. in an interview for a Holland show when they're asked if it has to do anything with drug addiction, they both laugh awkardly, and after 10 seconds or so he answers, "could be, could be...you know, everyone is free to interpret the song in their own way, i...we wouldn't want to make it more specific)
The song is about meth addiction. Hence the title crystalised....................................................Small doses down on my knees
Ill forgive and forget before "I am paralyzed"
I am about to get fucked up translation
Pressue when you cook the crystal.....take me to paradise - again talking about getting fkd up
"You" say Im foolish for pushing this aside
The you thats being referred to is the drug
I am addicted to this song!!! and feel like an idiot because I don't know how to pronounce the name of the group or people singing it!
She's in love with him and always willing to accept his wrong doings as he isn't at a point in his life where he is ready for commitment. Her asking if she has to keep up the pace is her asking if they will arrive at a point where she can stop having to turn the other way when he runs off with another girl. They both want what they want and don't want the other to rush or push them hence the dueted "go slow" at the end. He's made steps to settle down in small ways but too slow for her. She's becoming numb and is becoming tired of his antics. They are both falling in love, but are scared that one will control and the other become unfaithful...I'm mike and I truely dig this song...
The vocals and bass for this song are amazing esspecially the way the 2 peoples voices blend so well.
These lyrics describe the problem that I keep on running into all the time! It gives me goosebumps!!! Rrrr!
this song as about the troubled on again off again love affair of myself and a handsome bartender, like the angels had been watching and wrote our story. except i was always the one moving too fast. after recent events this track is telling the exact place that we are at now. kinda freaky XX but thanks.) No on 8!
i think the song is about a couple where she wants everything from him and he doesn't really want to be responsible for ALL of her happiness. then shes saying its his fault for moving the relationship so fast but is semi willing to change her dependancy on him. then they both agree to take it slow.
this song is amazing both in lyrics and composure
The song is talking about starting a relationship. THe guy wants to move faster, he is ready to give into the feelings. But she is scared of moving to fast, and she is trying to tell him that she needs time, but that she really does want to fall in love. SHe is saying that is he hurts her past a certain point, she is not so sure she will recover this time.
Personally, I think the song is about a couple and their sex life. Most of the lines in the song could be perceived that way. Like the line "Do I have to keep up the pace to keep you satisfied".
I just think the guy really wants to be intimate and she gives into it.
i take the song being a couple talkin about the other .. on is not gettin the attention they want .. while the other thinks that they are giving the attetnion he think the other deserves.. coudl be wrong .. but i think the topis is up for debate it depends on the listener and the way the way the music moves that emotional state of their mind ..
truly beautiful
This whole album is brilliant! Havent liked an album so much in a very long time.
i am totally obsessed with this song. it's heartbreaking in all the right ways...

Numerology: Your Expression Number
The Expression / Destiny Numbers
Need to learn to calculate your number? go back to the previous page.
Expression Numbers Continued...
- Expression 6: Six people are driven by a strong sense of duty and often put others ahead of themselves. They are called often to careers that allow them to help others - counselors, health care fields, teaching etc. People with a 6 expression number tend to measure their own sense of self-worth based on what they do for others. They need to be careful to not be too overprotective and to allow others the freedom to make their own choices in life.
- Expression 7: People with a Seven expression number are very intuitive, intelligent - the seekers of truth and understanding. Seven people tend to be rather introverted and require a great deal of "personal space" in order to thrive. Seven people are motivated in life by a need for greater understanding and are often drawn to philosophical, spiritual, and/or metaphysical pursuits in their quest for deeper meaning.
- Expression 8: People with an 8 expression number are incredibly competitive, ambitious, and hard working. Often destined for great successes in life, particularly in their career field. Eight people are excellent managers and builders who are very efficient and effective. They are able to balance strong ambitions with care and concern for others which allows them to create strong enterprises that serve their communities well.
- Expression 9: People with a 9 destiny/expression number are the lofty idealists that inspire us to aim higher. Humanitarian by their very nature, nine people are typically called to lives of activism and social issues. They are driven by a need to be accepted and loved by others and often become very well known or famous for their efforts. People with a 9 expression number are typically highly artistic and creative and use those talents to promote a cause.
- Expression 11: People with the master number 11 as their expression number are naturally psychic and very intelligent. They have a great blend of logic and creativity and when they can balance these aspects and channel their vast energy in productive ways nothing can stop them. Eleven's have to work hard to keep their higher vibrational energy levels up. Eleven's can become too caught up in fantasy over reality as an escape when their emotions overwhelm them. It is very important for people with this expression number and life path to work hard to keep their energy fields in balance.
- Expression 22: People with this master number 22 as their destiny number are great at bringing the sacred to the mundane - they can and do embrace all life and experience as a spiritual adventure and put this reverence into everything they build and create. Natural builders, those with a 22 expression number are are blessed as visionaries with strong leadership abilities. They can see a project through from start to finish build what they envision with ease and grace.

Good multihull brands in our price range?
OK... we're avid monohull sailors and have always shied away from multihulls. I haven't liked their looks and I'm a traditionalist. However, the more and more that my wife and I talk about our planned 2009 cruise with our family, the more we realize that a multihull might be a better choice. You can't beat the interior (or exterior) comfort, and our daughter is not in love with heeling so the sail-flat concept is kind of interesting.
We've been looking mostly at Passport's, Tayana's, Cabo's, Bristol's and other similar monohulls. We've capped our budget at $780k, including fit-out.
If I was to look at multihulls, what brands should I look at? We're going to take a look at a few in Annapolis, and will probably look at chartering one in the BVI's this winter for a week - just to see what they are like. Price range for a multihull would be the same as that of a mono - $780k, including fit-out. We need at least 3 cabins, plus diesel heat, air conditioning, generator, good instruments, etc., so all of those costs have to be factored in. Here is our monohull wishlist - I'm sure the multihull would be similar - http://www.sailnet.com/forums/boat-review-purchase-forum/27419-does-sound-like-boat-you-know.html
The Fountaine Pajots and the Robertson and Caines look nice, but I can only comment on the looks.
For that kind of money, hands down, it would have to be a Chris White Designs Atlantic Series catamaran, either an A48 or A55. The A42 might be an option but the aft deck on the A48/A55 adds a lot of desirable living space.
Start here:
Another possibility is the Gunboat catamarans.
Just to add... this can be new OR used... I'm assuming that, like in a monohull, I'll get a better deal by buying used.
Okay, then consider this one as well:
I'm trying to focus on manufacturers first. So Chris White Designs builds high quality cats?
Chris White is the designer. His designs have been built in a number of locations. Most of the recent Atlantic Series cats have been built at a plant in South Africa. I have seen a few of these only on the exterior in various anchorages -- but what I saw was impressive.
However, the most recent A57 (a slightly stretched version of the A55) was built at Aquidneck Custom Boats in Bristol, RI. I have only seen of this boat what is posted at Chris' website (http://www.chriswhitedesigns.com/atlantic57/index.php), so cannot comment except to say that the design, layout, and performance reports are impressive. I would expect the quality to be well above the typical production catamaran.
Note on the Atlantic-series catamarans, that the cockpit is forward of the main salon. I think this is a highly desirable feature if you plan to sail rather than motor cruise. I have been aboard most of the major production catamarans at the boat shows and find with rare exception that the steering and sail trimming arrangements verge on ridiculous.
If you need more info, you can call or e-mail Chris White directly. He is a great resource on mulithulls and is generous with his knowledge, which is a good thing because you have now exhausted mine.
I'd second the Chris White designs... quite beautiful. You also might want to check out Multihull Demo Days. LINK
You can arrange to sail on a few different ones there.
Be safe and buy Canadian :)
Also... you will probably want to stay away from Charter Catamarans... If you're wondering why I say this... google Bumfuzzle. :D

Eric Johnson is a name that's at least casually familiar to many metal fans. He's not a shredder, nor is he a crafter of bone-crushing heavy riffs ala Tony Iommi or James Hetfield, yet he's probably influenced legions of the best guitarists in metal today. One of the many cool things that separate the best metal guitarists from musicians in a lot of other genres is that their influences are very far-ranging and diverse – they don't just listen to metal all day. The same holds true for many metal fans as well. It's not unusual to see albums by Jeff Beck, Al Di Meola…and Eric Johnson in their music libraries.
Having said that, his brand new live album, 'Europe Live,' is not even remotely metal. Rest assured that it's still a rock record, however. "Zap" is a frenetic guitar workout that scorches, and "Last House on the Block" sounds like heavy metal forefathers Cream at times. Indeed, any part of this album can be used as proof that Johnson is one of the most talented guitarists in the world, worthy of all the respect he's garnered from peers, critics and fans.
His backing band, comprised of bassist Chris Maresh and drummer Wayne Salzmann, is pretty impressive too. An extended eleven-minute-plus jam session that transpires during a cover of John Coltrane's "Mr. P.C." is undeniably a towering epic of musical prowess. And of course, Johnson's "hit single," "Cliffs of Dover," from 1990's platinum-selling 'Ah Via Musicom' is on here in all its Grammy-winning glory.
As its title implies, this album was recorded all over Europe, proving that Johnson is a global phenomenon. He hasn't forgotten us though; he's touring the US this summer. In fact, he is making a stop here in Columbus on Saturday, August 2, at the Park Street Saloon. Tickets are $35 for general admission and $55 for VIP. Doors open at 7 p.m.

Section 4(a) of the Occupational Therapy Practice Act (OT Act) requires that the State Board of Occupational Therapy Education and Licensure have "two representatives of the public interest." This identical requirement is found in numerous other licensure laws including the state boards of Medicine, Podiatry, Nursing and Optometry. As with other board members, public members are nominated and appointed by the Governor and then are confirmed by a majority of the Senate. Also, like other board members, public members have equal voting rights. The role of the public member is to protect the public health and welfare. While the OT Act does not define "representatives of the public interest," Section 813(a) of the Administrative Code of 1929 lists four disqualifying factors: (1) members of any profession licensed or regulated by a board/commission within the Bureau of Professional and Occupational Affairs, (2) persons related to or part of the immediate family of any occupational therapist, (3) a person affiliated with the occupational therapy profession, and (4) a person who holds any other appointive or elected public office in this commonwealth.
Public members bring a unique perspective to the board as they are involved in another field. Nonetheless, the public members on the board must become familiar with occupational therapy practice and issues involving that practice. Often, this knowledge is gained from asking a lot of questions. Currently, one public member is an attorney, and the other is a college student pursuing a career in secondary education.
Matthew Kuhn is a student at York College of Pennsylvania, currently studying secondary education social studies with a concentration in special education. He has completed 120 hours of teaching observations for his degree. After graduation he plans to teach in the Chester County school system.Last summer, Kuhn volunteered at the House of Original Dreams, which helps young adults with barriers achieve their General Education Development (GED) certificate and find jobs. He has remained active in his community, earning a citation from State Rep. Chris Ross for service work and a Good Citizenship Award from PA Sen. John Rafferty.
Matthew Kuhn lives in Chester County with his parents, Bob and Marge Kuhn.
Senate Bill 187 has been introduced by Sen. Stewart Greenleaf. The bill has several key provisions:

A Malaysia Airlines jetliner flying from the capital Kuala Lumpur to Beijing, China, early Saturday vanished shortly after take-off with 227 passengers and 12 crew members aboard, the airline confirmed in a statement.
Air traffic control lost contact with the plane at 2:40 a.m. Saturday off the coast of Vietnam in the South China Sea.
"The last known position of MH370 before it disappeared off the radar was 065515 North (longitude) and 1033443 East (latitude)," the airline said.
"An international search and rescue mission was mobilized this morning. At this stage, our search and rescue teams from Malaysia, Singapore and Vietnam have failed to find evidence of any wreckage."
Flight MH370 departed Kuala Lumpur just after 12:30 a.m. Saturday and was expected to arrive in Beijing at 6:30 a.m.
Passengers from 14 nationalities—made up of mostly Chinese and Malaysian nationals—were aboard the Boeing 777, a flight manifest obtained by Examiner.com said. Two Canadians were on the missing plane, later identified as Xiaomo Bai, 37, and Muktesh Mukherjee, 42.
"My thoughts and prayers are with the family members of flight #MH370. I've asked all measures possible to be taken," said Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak on his Facebook page.
The U.S. National Transportation Safety Board are monitoring the situation closely, a statement on their Twitter profile said. Boeing, the aircraft's manufacturer, said they were assembling a team to assist investigators with the incident: "Boeing offers it deepest concern to the families of those aboard missing Malaysia Airlines flight MH370," the manufacturer said.
No distress calls were received prior to the plane disappearing.

For some reason, I've been under the impression that writing an existing entity is just as expensive, if not more, than writing a new entity, so a lot of my code has focused on ways of breaking entities into smaller entities so that when I modify a property, it incurs less write costs. However, looking now at the documentation, it states that an existing entity put has the following costs:
1 write + 4 writes per modified indexed property value + 2 writes per modified composite index value
Before I go around changing the entire structure of my code, I want to be sure I understand the details. What exactly qualifies an index as "modified"? Say I have 4 indexed string properties and no composite indexes. To put this as a new entity would cost 10 writes
(2 + 2(indexed properties)). Say I now modify one of these string properties and put it back. Would that cost 5 writes only
(1 + 4 per modified index)? Am I missing anything? Are there any things I should take into consideration?
And what if I had 4 indexed properties and 1 non-indexed property, and I modify only the non-indexed property - this will only cost me 1 write to re-put?

Dale Earnhardt Jr. Jr. is a Detroit indie pop band, who played Tucson's famed Club Congress Feb. 25, 2014. They are an indie-pop band that formed in 2009 by members, Josh Epstein and Dan Zott. The band also includes drummer Mike Higgins and keyboardist Jon Visger.
The name of the band is the first thing to capture your attention. The band has no relationship with Dale Earnhardt, Jr. According to the band's biography, "the name is a title that was immediately jarring but paid homage to their philosophy of mixing together different ideas." The name allowed the band to go in any music direction.
They are on a headlining North American tour promoting their critically acclaimed sophomore album, "The Speed of Things." They released a new video for the single, "Run", which gained over 150,000 plays the first week on You Tube. Paste magazine has labeled the band one of "The 25 Best Live Acts of 2013."
Examiner.com managed to catch the band at sound check prior to the show. The stage is much smaller than the band normally plays. They could not use a lot of their equipment. As a result, the stage was very crowded with the instruments and microphones they needed. The venue's sound equipment had a lot of popping that could not be resolved. This equipment is due to be upgraded in two weeks. For now, the band was determined to make the best of the situation. See the slide show for photos of sound check.
The show lived up to the label "one of the best live acts in 2013!" The packed house started and remained enthusiastic. They informed the crowd early on that this was their first visit to Tucson and they were happy to be here. Josh and Dan are both incredibly skilled at multi-tasking. Josh was playing keyboards, snare, guitar, and saxophone at times. Dan also played keyboards, percussion, and guitar. More instruments were probably hidden.
Midway through the show, Josh and Dan really let loose and hair started to fly. Dan somehow managed to dance all over the stage in spite of the clutter. The audience followed suit. Highlights were "Almost Lost Detroit", "If You Didn't See Me" and "Run". For complete set list click here.
Their brand of pop music is innovative and upbeat. Even their cover songs have a brand new flavor that is refreshing. They work hard during their live show to give the audience what they want. Its pure escapism with a driving beat!

Dear Editor,
I would like to respond to the letter to the editor, titled "Moral Decay," published in the Sunday issue of the Times Leader. I was deeply dismayed at the writer's blatant display of hate, bigotry, and homophobia, and am astonished that such an irrational person would ever be allowed to hold public office.
In his letter, he claims our state of moral decay, which he defines as higher divorce rates, terrorist attacks, and homosexuality, is happening because we have turned our backs on God, who does not tolerate sin. This assertion boils down to nothing more than primitive tribal superstition that I would expect from someone living in a mud-hut in 10,000 B.C. I would like to take a moment to point out the fallacious nature of the writer's assertions, because, just as God does not tolerate sin, I do not tolerate stupidity. Let's begin!
The writer's most egregious claim was that God has been trying to "get through to us" via the employ of 9/11, hurricanes, mass shootings, and yes, even our failing economy. That must be an example of his god's unconditional love that I hear so much about- God loves you unconditionally, but if you sin, he's going to send terrorists to crash planes into a building and burn you alive with jet-fuel. And people wonder why I left Christianity I doubt our God-fearing friend would have the stones to say such things in the presence of anyone who actually lost loved ones to those disasters. You should be ashamed of yourself, sir.
The writer liberally throws around the word 'Homosexuality' as an act clearly defined in the Bible as sin, something not to be tolerated, yet he conveniently ignores other precepts set forth in Leviticus, such as the command against wearing clothing of mixed fabrics. I find it disturbing that many would regard his injunction against the LGBT community as justified, yet, if he were to espouse we begin stoning people who wear spandex, people would respond in outrage. I'll also point out that God frowns upon eating meat with blood still in it, shaving your beard, and the seeking of omens. Wait, hasn't the writer done all of these things? How do you like your steak?
Finally, I would like to remind my pious counter-part that our country was founded upon the Constitution, not a book written by desert-faring nomads with an unhealthy fear of cotton-polyester blends. What you are suggesting is that we convert our Democracy into a Theocracy.
The last time Christianity did that, they plummeted Mankind into a thousand-year period of depression known as The Dark Ages, something the Founding Fathers were painfully aware of when they incorporated Separation of Church and State into our foundational document. What you perceive as "moral decay," casual sex, ignoring of scripture, gays running around looking fabulous, is really society rebelling against a system, your system, of religious oppression. You know what I say to that? Let freedom ring.

At a cost of $252 per day, per immigrant, the United States government has launched a massive "get into the U. S. free" plan with no exit in sight. In the package, illegals will receive free food, lodging, healthcare, and clothing.
The Department of Homeland Security notified military bases just three days ago that once "secure" bases will now be reservations for thousands of Latin American teenagers that have somehow infiltrated the borders of the United States and need a place to live. Apparently, the federal law that requires anyone entering a military base to have valid, current photo ID, will not apply.
There was no discussion, it was a directive, and commanders at bases are scrambling to prepare.
The illegal immigrants are unaccompanied minors, mostly between the ages of 13 and 17, and will now call U.S. military bases home for an undetermined length of time. A huge influx is set to arrive Tuesday, June 10, at Fort Sill in Okla., and Port Hueneme near Ventura, Calif.
Base rules and protocols have recently been tightened with a home-based garrison military. Authorities are already wondering how these rules and regulations will be upheld with non-English speaking juveniles.
What's more, these children have no guardians or protectors to ensure they are not abused inside the makeshift system.
Private citizens are calling the Department of Homeland Security's plan a "gangland training center." Others are worried that female teens who have entered this country already pregnant will pose an entirely new set of problems for the American government.
One Marine officer asked: "Will Soldiers be kicked off base and need to be paid a housing allowance in order to accommodate these illegals?"
When Hurricane Katrina hit the Southern coastline in 2005, Soldiers returning from Iraq were confronted with hundreds of displaced Mississippi citizens who had taken refuge inside Camp Shelby. Should the worst happen again, would U.S. citizens in Harm's Way be turned away from military bases because living quarters were full of illegal Latinos?
Currently, hundreds of U.S. troops are returning from Afghanistan. Will their bases be available for them to demobilize?
Clearly, there are more questions than answers for this pending governmental nightmare.
