Board to consider increasing gas excise tax by 3.5 cents a gallon, about 10 percent hike
As if we don't already pay enough for gas in California, come this summer we may be taxed on it even more by the state.
The tax Californians pay for each gallon of gas they buy — called the excise tax — is expected to increase 3.5 cents per gallon in July to 39.5 cents per gallon.
The state Board of Equalization — charged with setting the rate since 2010 — will meet Tuesday in Culver City to consider about a 10 percent increase because previous tax collections fell short of budgeted amounts. The excise tax isn't the only one we pay at the pump. The state also charges 2.25 percent in sales tax, and the federal government charges 18.4 cents per gallon in excise tax.
So how much more will you pay? If you're like most Americans, you drive an average of 15,000 miles per year. And if you figure you get 20 miles per gallon, that means you'd buy 750 gallons of gasoline. Under the current system, with the average gallon of gas in California costing $4.217, over the year you would buy $3,162 in gas, including $408 in federal and state excise taxes, and about $70 in state sales tax.
That doesn't include local taxes, like the half-cent San Diego charges. If the California Board of Equalization approves the rate increase, the extra tax would kick in an additional $26.25 over the year.
California's gas prices are routinely among the highest in the nation, and so is its gas tax.
In a ranking of states released last month, the American Petroleum Institute showed California trailing only New York in combined excise, state and local taxes. Should California's 3.5 cent increase go through, however, the Golden State would be the most expensive.
The increase would be the second state tax hike Californians would see this year after the passage of Proposition 30, which raised the sales tax a quarter percent. The jump would affect only those who buy regular gasoline.
Those who buy diesel will see a 1.94 percent increase in their sales tax in July, but the excise tax rate — 10 cents — is not expected to increase, a Board of Equalization memorandum says.
The 3.5 cent increase would be the largest since the state Legislature switched the gas-taxation system in 2010, when it lowered the sales tax to 2.25 percent from 8.25 percent. At the same time, it roughly doubled the excise tax to 35.3 cents per gallon.
Still, California's projections on gas-tax revenue fell short by $157 million in fiscal 2011, based on what the state would have gotten under the previous sales-tax model, the finance department reports. The state will try to recoup that money through the rate increase should it be approved Tuesday.
However, gasoline sales have been dropping since the Great Recession, as cars have become more efficient — the Toyota Prius is the best-selling car in San Diego County — and prices per gallon have increased.
Taxable gallons of gas sold statewide peaked at 15.9 billion in fiscal 2005, but in fiscal 2011, the latest full year available, it was down to 14.6 billion, the Board of Equalization reports. That's not good for an excise tax, which is a tax based on the sale of an actual product, not its price.
"We think of volume of (gas) consumption as being relatively stable. The price (of gas) is completely unstable," said Steve Gill, professor of accounting at San Diego State University. "An excise tax delivers a more-stable source of revenue than does a sales tax."
In 2002, California voters passed Proposition 42, which mandated that revenues from sales tax on gas would largely go to fixing roads and promoting public transit. Other amounts would go to local municipalities.

Creates a GROUP, OS_USER, PROGRAM or USER (authorization-identity) ident.
where schema-clause is:
A new ident is created. If the ident is a USER, OS_USER or PROGRAM ident, a schema with the same name as the ident can also be created. A schema is created by default and when WITH SCHEMA is explicitly specified.
If the ident is a USER or PROGRAM ident, a password must be specified.
If the ident is an OS_USER, a password can be optionally specified.
USER idents are authorized to access a Mimer SQL database by using the CONNECT statement. In interactive contexts, e.g. when Mimer BSQL is started, a USER ident is used to log in.
OS_USER idents are a special type of USER ident which can be used to connect or log in a more automatic way. Once the connection has been established, an OS_USER ident will access the database as a USER ident.
If the CONNECT statement is used without specifying an ident name (or if <return> is pressed at the username prompt when logging into Mimer BSQL), the connect attempt uses the name of the operating system user id. In this case, the connection process will automatically attempt to use an OS_USER ident with that name. If an OS_USER ident exists in the database with that name, a connection is established without any password verification.
The same is true if the ident name specified in the CONNECT statement (or at the user name prompt in BSQL) is the same as the name of the current operating system user id and an OS_USER ident exists in the database with that name.
If an OS_USER ident is created with a password, it can be used as if it were a USER ident in situations where the operating system user id does not match the OS_USER ident name.
PROGRAM idents cannot be used to connect to a database. After a connection has been established (by using a USER or OS_USER ident), the ENTER statement can used to make a PROGRAM ident the current ident. The access rights to the database defined for the PROGRAM ident will thus come into effect.
The ident executing the ENTER statement must have EXECUTE privilege on the PROGRAM ident (the ENTER statement can be executed by a PROGRAM ident).
The ident that executed the ENTER statement will become the current ident again after the LEAVE statement has been executed.
GROUP idents cannot be used to connect to a database. They are used to implement collective authorization of access rights to the database. Other idents become members of a GROUP ident when MEMBER privilege on the GROUP ident is granted to them.
While an ident is a member of a GROUP ident, that ident is effectively granted the privileges held by the GROUP ident.
For a more detailed description of idents, see the Mimer SQL Programmer's Manual, chapter 5, Idents and Privileges.
CREATE IDENT requires that the current ident have IDENT privilege.
The ident must not have the same name as an ident that already exists in the database.
All letters in OS_USER names are treated as uppercase in Mimer SQL, regardless of operating system conventions. See SQL Identifiers for more information on naming objects.
The creator of a GROUP ident is automatically granted MEMBER privilege on it, with the WITH GRANT OPTION.
The creator of a PROGRAM ident is automatically granted EXECUTE privilege on it, with the WITH GRANT OPTION.
Ident passwords must be at least 1 and at most 18 characters long and may contain any characters except space. The case of alphabetic characters is significant. The password string must be enclosed in string delimiters, which are not stored as part of the password.
An ident who is authorized to created new idents (by having IDENT privilege) can also create new schemas.
ExamplesCREATE IDENT mimer_adm AS USER USING 'admin';
For more information, see the Mimer SQL User's Manual, chapter 9, Creating Idents and Schemas.
Standard Compliance
MIMER EXTENSION The CREATE IDENT statement is a Mimer SQL extension.

That's the date Microsoft will finally unveil its long-awaited follow-up to the Xbox 360. The event, sent out to members of the press Wednesday, will take place at the company's HQ in Redmond, Washington at 10:00 am PST, though it will also be streamed live on Xbox Live, xbox.com and Spike TV.
"We are thrilled to pull back the curtain and reveal what we've been working on," said Microsoft spokesperson Major Nelson in an otherwise uninformative blog post.
The reveal will hopefully end weeks months years of speculation about the upcoming system's features and specs. Specifically, gamers are itching to get an answer regarding the system's rumored requirement for an 'always-on' internet connection, an issue so controversial, it's already cost one high-profile MS employee his job.
Other rumored features are less contentious. The system is believed to be able to take over your set-top cable box and interact with your TV, while a new version of the Kinect motion-sensing camera will improve the console's controller-free functionality. The system's final technical specs (last rumored to include an 1.6GHz 8-core processor, 8GB of RAM and built-in Blu-Ray drive) could also be announced.
May is a special month for Microsoft, as the company first announced the Xbox 360 on May 12 of 2005. The May 21 date is also just a few weeks prior to the E3 convention in Los Angeles, where Microsoft is expected to show off the new hardware -- and plenty of software -- during its annual press conference, likely on June 10.
The reveal marks the beginning of the end of the current-gen game cycle, which has lasted an unprecedented seven and a half years. Nintendo already moved into the next-gen space with its troubled Wii U system, while both the next Xbox and Sony's PlayStation 4, revealed during an event in February, are expected to arrive this holiday season.

It has more nicknames than possibly any other female bodypart (sideways smile, anyone?), its own doctor, and theability to bring you tons of pleasure — not to mention pain,particularly if you plan to have a baby. Yet the vaginaremains a mystery to many. In fact, a Cosmo poll found thatmore than 60 percent of women say they don't know a lotabout their vadge — which is unfortunate, because a newstudy reports that chicks who feel confident about theirdown-there area have more orgasms. So we've put togethera list of 15 bits of info to boost your V-zone comfort level.These are the crucial facts about how it functions, keepingit healthy, and increasing the amount of bliss it brings you.
1. It's just one part of your down-there region
Most of us use the word vagina to refer to our private parts. But technically, the termdescribes only thenarrow canal that runsinside your body fromthe vulva (the visiblearea that includes theinner and outer labia,clitoris, and perineum)to the cervix (the lowerportion of the uterus).
2. Vaginas generally look alike
...On the inside, that is.What does vary is thevulva. The clitoris rangesfrom 1 to 1¼ inches(including the hood), theouter labia can be barelythere or a few incheslong, and the inner labia,which are reminiscent ofbutterfly wings, might behidden or hang past theouter lips. Most women'slabia aren't perfectly symmetrical — one side is usuallybigger than the other.
3. The surrounding area often can be different colors
The shade of your southernregion isn't necessarilyrelated to the tone ofthe rest of your skin.Many light-skinnedwomen have brown orpurplish labia, while adarker-hued chick canhave a lighter vulva. Youalso can have differentcolors in different areas — for example, your labiacould be on the darkerside yet your perineumcould be pale pink.
4. Its walls are pleated
Usually, the walls of thevagina lie compressedagainst each other. Butwhen they need to open—to accommodate a tamponor penis—the sides separateand widen, kind oflike the way an umbrellaopens or a pleated skirtunfolds. The vagina typicallyswells from half aninch wide to 2 incheswide. And it can get evenbigger — after all, a babymight have to passthrough it!
5. Relax — a well-hung guy won'tstretch it out...
As explained above, thevagina is incredibly elasticand can fit a supersizepenis — yet it alwaysreturns to its usual tightnessafter sex. But it mightbe a different story onceyou pop out a baby, assome moms say they dofeel looser. You can tightenup by doing certain exercises(see number 7).
6. ...Nor will it"revirginize" if you go througha long dry spell
There's a rumor out therethat if you find yourself ina no-booty bout, yourvagina will become sotight that getting back inthe saddle will hurt. It'stotally untrue. While yourvaginal muscles may betense at first, penetrationshouldn't be painful at all.
7. It benefits from regular exercise
Just as working yourbiceps firms up yourarms, working your pubococcygeusmuscle — amain muscle of yourpubic region — can toneup your vadge. Besidesgiving you a tighter gripduring sex, it also maymake it easier to climax.Here's how to exerciseyour V: Clamp down as ifyou're stopping yoururine flow, hold for 10seconds, then release. Do2 sets of 10 to 20 a day;you'll notice a differencein about a month.
8. It's teeming with bacteria
Don't get grossed out — they're the kind that keepbad microorganisms incheck so you don't get aninfection. One of thegood bacteria is lactobacilli,also found in yogurt.In fact, some gynos sayyou can help cure a yeastinfection by inserting atablespoon of plain yogurtwith live cultures intoyour vadge (put some ona tampon, and push it in).
9. It's self-cleaning
No need to douche orwash the inside — yourvagina cleans itself withdischarge (yep, that stuffhas a function). Thesecretions flush out cellsfrom the vaginal wall,excess water, and bacteria.The only washing it needsis on the outside betweenthe labial folds andalong the perineum(use a mild, scentfreesoap).
10. The hair aroundit isn'tnecessary
Back in cavemantimes, pubes shielded the vagina frombacteria and trappedodor to attract men.Today, we have clothes toprotect us. And as forattracting a guy with yourhairy crotch, the oppositemay be true: Someguys are turned on byseeing a woman's bare V.
11. Its smell gets stronger during your cycle
Speaking of scent, everyvagina has one. It tends tobe acidic before yourperiod and pungent afterward.Your scent also maybe more noticeable post-workout,because ofsweat glands, and duringsex, thanks to the naturallubrication you produce.
12. Getting it on does it good...
Part of the reason sexfeels so amazing: Hoo-hastimulation, whether ornot you reach an O,releases feel-good hormones.Some gynos alsosay that having an orgasmeases cramps — an awesomereason to hit thesheets with your guy orhave solo sex when youhave your period.
13. ...But too much sex can throw itout of whack
While regular action canrelax you, too much ina short period of time mayleave you chafed orinflamed down south orwith a urinary-tract infection.You're more likelyto get a UTI if you do it ontop or in missionary, sinceyour guy's penis is supercloseto your urethra andcan push harmful bacteriain it. No need to give upthese poses though;peeing post-sex can keep aUTI at bay.
14. Discharge changes throughout your cycle
Your vadge producesmore discharge — up to 2teaspoons a day — duringovulation; it tends to bethinner and clearer at thistime. Before your flow, it'screamier and thicker. If itever itches, burns, stinks,or looks like cottagecheese, see your gyno.
15. Things can't get lost up there
Your vagina is not a blackhole. It's impossible foranything (like a tampon)to escape into youruterus — the cervix blocksoff access. But a tamponcan slip out of reach. Ifone does, fish it out whilesquatting and bearingdown. If that doesn't work,make an appointmentwith your gyno, who willpluck out the tamponquickly and painlessly.Note: Steer clear of puttingfood, even chocolatesyrup or whipped cream,up there. The sugar canlead to an infection.
Designer Vaginas?
Some doctors say vaginal surgery can increase pleasure andimprove appearance, but these procedures are rarely medicallynecessary, are hardly ever covered by insurance, and can causenerve damage. (Besides, in our opinion, this is one thing that doesnot need improvement.) A few of the so-called corrections offered:
Vaginal Rejuvenation $7,000*
Aimed at women who complain of feeling too loose to enjoy sex,it involves tightening the vagina. The truth: No published studiesshow whether "rejuvenated" women feel more or less satisfaction.
Labiaplasty $6,000
This can reduce the size of the inner or outer labia and evenout asymmetrical lips. However, visibly asymmetrical anduneven lips are actually the norm.
The G-Shot $1,550
It increases the size of the G-spot area via a collagen or cosmeticfillerinjection; this supposedly intensifies sensation. Shots lastthree to six months. Beware: Its effectiveness is in doubt.
Hymen Repair $5,000
This reconstructs the hymen, allowing a woman to experiencethe feeling of losing her virginity again. Hmm...pain, blood, andawkwardness a second time around? Don't sign us up.
*Costs are estimates; prices will vary.
Lady Parts in Pain?
Two very real yet poorly understoodconditions can cause serious discomfort.
Vaginismus causes the vaginal muscles to contractinvoluntarily, making it difficult or impossible tohave sex, use a tampon, even undergo a gyno exam.It can be treated via physical therapy and/or counseling, but often gets worse before it gets better becausewomen who have it stress out so much wonderingwhat's going on before checking in with their gyno.
Vulvodynia is characterized by vulva pain,stinging, or sensitivity so intense that direct touch ishard to bear. There are no visible signs, and it'soften diagnosed after gynos rule out other conditions,such as a bad yeast infection. Antidepressants canoften help lessen the pain.

May 4, 2016
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) -- Gov. Rick Scott is turning the page on another decade. Scott, one of the oldest governor's in Florida history, turns 60 Saturday.
Aside from former Gov. Lawton Chiles, who was elected at 60, Scott is the oldest governor to be elected since Henry Laurens Mitchell in the late 19th century. Mitchell, who was Florida's 16th governor, left office in 1897 at age 65. Chiles was 68 when he died at the end of his second term in 1998.
Buddy MacKay, who served the final three weeks of Chiles' term was 65 as was Wayne Mixson, who served three days as governor in 1987 to allow Bob Graham to start his U.S. Senate career early for seniority purposes.
Graham, Jeb Bush, Reubin Askew and LeRoy Collins all turned 50 while governor.

Chop (mission)
this wiki
- "Lamar has a plan to make some extra cash."
- ―Description.
Chop is a mission in Grand Theft Auto V, given to protagonist Franklin Clinton by Lamar Davis.
Lamar's dog Chop makes his first appearance in this mission. In the mission, Chop helps Franklin track down and catch a Ballas member called D.
Lamar and Chop show up at Franklin's house. Lamar tells Franklin to come along to "pick up some shit from around the corner". Franklin asks why they can't drive instead, but Lamar insists that they walk.
Around the corner is Lamar's white-colored Speedo. The three get in and Lamar tells Franklin to drive to Vinewood Boulevard.
After they reach their destination, they walk into an alley, where they find D chatting with a woman. Before being spotted, Franklin and Lamar both cover their faces with green bandanas. D notices them and a hostile conversation initiates. Lamar finally pulls out his pistol and aims it at D, who responds by taking off on his motorcycle, almost hitting the two in the process.
Franklin and Lamar quickly get back into Lamar's van and start chasing after D. Franklin is doubtful about catching up with the speeding motorcyclist.
After chasing through the Simmet Alley, D is hit by a bus, throwing him off the bike. He then runs off through a city bus terminal. Franklin and Chop jump out the van and the chase ensues on foot.
The chase continues into a railyard. Franklin loses the trail and the player is prompted to take control of Chop to sniff out D. During the search, Chop suddenly runs off across a nearby street, after having spotted another (male) dog of the same size. Chop begins humping the other dog, much to Franklin's chagrin. Eventually, the two continue their search and find D hiding inside a boxcar. D jumps out and runs off again, but Franklin sends Chop after him. After a short chase Chop manages to bite D, forcing him to the ground.
Franklin apprehends D and Lamar arrives with the van. After being forced into the van, D recognizes Lamar by his voice and the back of his head. There's some brief dialogue about D remembering Lamar and Franklin from when they were little.
Franklin takes the drivers seat and they drive back towards Lamar's house. During the ride, Lamar makes a ransom call to the Ballas from his cell phone and demands $40,000 for D. Franklin tells Lamar that the Ballas will be able to trace the cell phone and will know where they are now. Franklin tosses the phone out of the truck and forces Lamar to let D go. Franklin then drives to the BJ Smith Recreational Center to drop off Lamar and Chop.
Mission objectives
- Get in the van.
- Go to Vinewood Boulevard.
- Get back in the van.
- Follow Chop.
- Open boxcars to see if D is hiding inside.
- Go to Chop and pull him off the dog.
- Drop Lamar off at the rec center.
100% Completion
- Not a Scratch - Complete with minimal damage to Lamar's van
- Homedog - Enter Chop's perspective for 00:10
- Advanced Reflexes - Use Franklin's special ability for 00:07
- In this mission, there is an objective in which you control Chop to sense D, hence making it first time in the series to take control of an animal in the game.
- Chop also takes up a temporary character slot, and can be switched with Franklin.
- This mission is probably the second most controversial mission in GTA V due to dog mating in the game.

Heat the oil for about a minute over medium heat, then stir in all the marinade ingredients.
Forbidden City Chicken
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
3 T peanut oil or canola oil
1/2 - 1 tsp. Curry powder (I used Sweet Curry Powder)
1/4 - 1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon (I used Vietnamese Cassia Cinnamon)
1 tsp. ginger puree (sold in small jars, or use fresh grated ginger root)
1 tsp. garlic puree (sold in small jars, or use finely crushed fresh garlic)
3 T brown sugar (or use 3 T amber Agave Nectar or Splenda brown sugar blend)
3 T soy sauce
1 T fresh-squeezed lemon juice
2 T chicken stock
sliced green onions for garnish (optional)
When oven is heated, put chicken in and cook 20 minutes. Then remove from oven, turn chicken with top side up and brush with marinade you saved in the plastic bag. (Discard any unused marinade at this point.) Cook 10 minutes more.
After 10 minutes, remove chicken again and brush with the marinade that's collected in the pan and cook 5-10 minutes more, or until chicken is lightly browned and feels firm (but not hard) to the touch. Don't overcook or chicken will be dry. Serve hot.

For those of you with PSPs did you give this a go yet? I bought it back when it came out in JP. Pretty fun. Takes place in the F/SN universe and while some of the servants look the exact same, they are all different people.
Saber is the biggest difference. She is very haughty, proud, a bit stuck-up, but very powerful and true to her word. She is also decked out in a blood-red dress and wields a very evil looking sword
Archer is the only one who stays the same. Its funny because he is always making reference to the other Holy Grail Wars and F/SN characters. Funny to have him as a servant.
Caster is a Fox-tailed Demon who is very playful, sexy, and easy-going. Likes to tease her master with silly provocative words and catchphrases.
Lancer, Berserker, Rider, and Assassin are all in the game as well. As before, while some may look similar as their F/SN counterparts, their legendary souls are different.
Either way, the story is pretty linear and the battle system can get a little repetitive once you learn and master it, but I found it a worthwhile $25.

Comments On May 13, 2012:These are great, barely can tell you have it on...if you need it and don't have it then you probably won't be able to tell if you have one on either. Easy on/off, good quality construction and very adjustable.

Comments On Oct 25, 2011:I honestly can't tell it's on. I can move my head around just fine, but you can tell if you were to get in a good digger, it would keep your neck from hyper extending or compressing, etc.
I was the last of my group to get one of these, and I definitely feel better wearing it.
Plus, my blue and white model match my YZ250 perfectly!

Comments On Jan 27, 2013:Got this little back pack for my nephew at Christmas last year. At the supercross race this year Trey Canard liked it enough to throw a set of his goggles our way after heat #1 and give him a thumbs up! The goggles fit into it no problem as did all the other rider autographs and race freebies! Don't expect it to be a high quality, airport baggage handler proof pack or anything but it works for a happy kids light work!

Is this part of the issue regarding who is and isn't being dragged out from the seventies as a paedophile? Bad comic, dead DJ with lunatic tendencies - string em up. Rock star, or player of punk "classics" on the wireless- keep a lid on it still. While Jimmy Savile made his actions obvious by writing them in his autobiography in 1973, he never made it as obvious as marrying one of his victims. On Twitter there are people praying that a certain comic with a friend called Chalkie gets implicated in some way.
There's a lot in that, to be honest.
The defenders of Polanski - for example - make me deeply uncomfortable.

Susie replies:
I'm worried because I bleed after having sex. At first it was only a little bit, but now it's a lot!
I don't know what's wrong with me.
Assuming that it's definitely not menstrual blood, whenever a woman bleeds after sex, it's generally the result of an injury.
Sometimes if there's blood spotting and pain after sex, it's because there's an infection in the cervix like trichomoniasis, Chlamydia or gonorrhea. Irritation in the cervix can result in light bleeding. If you suspect this might be the case, see a doctor and get tested for STDs. Trich, Chlamydia and gonorrhea are all curable with the right antibiotics. Your partner may need to be treated, too, otherwise you'll both get reinfected.
More commonly, tearing and abrasions are to blame for the bleeding. These can be eased with the use of condoms and water-based lubricant during sexual play. If penetration hurts, you need to tell your partner to ease up and slow down. Bleeding should never last more than a day. If you are bleeding fresh blood three days after your sexual encounter, see a doctor! You might have serious injuries. A pelvic exam can determine the extent of the tissue trauma, if there is any. In case you are bleeding a lot, do NOT use a tampon to soak it up. Avoid all penetration until it heals. Use a pantiliner in the mean time.

Average Customer Review: based on 23 reviews.Rating: Oceanic Downloader - USB Review - Scuba Gear Reviews
I purchased the cable for the pro plus 3, installed the driver and the oceanlog software. When attempting to download the dives, the software gives a usb interface found, the computer shows that its in pc mode, but all I get is a time out response message. Any suggestions?
I have an older Pro Plus ver 2 plastic buttons Is this the correct cable. I saw a post that ver 2.1 takes a different cable than 2.0 pro plus. This cable says it will do both Is this correct cable for the older model???
Hello Bob, in the drop down menu you will see there are two options to order the cable, you want the Oceanic Downloader - USB For VT PRO, PRO PLUS 2(plastic Buttons), VERSA PRO, and VEO 150/180/200/250. That will be the one that will work with your computer.
Which downloader do I need for computer I recently reveived Veo2 Air/nitrox
Hello Dan, you need to order this version: Oceanic Downloader - USB For VT3, VT4, Veo 2.0, Veo 3.0, HUD Datamask and PRO PLUS 2.1 (Metal buttons), PRO PLUS 3. You will find that option in the drop down menu on the item page above the add to cart button.
I see that you answered in a previous question that this cable is compatible with the Veo 100 nx. Are you sure? Ive read on other websites that the Veo 100 and 100nx cannot download their data. Can you please verify this again before I buy this cable. I just bought the Veo 100nx console and would really like to be able to download my dives. Thanks.
Does this cable work with the Ocenic Proplus 3 dive computer? I did see a question about the intergation between the computer and the dive computer. Is the cable manufactuered by Oceanic ?
Will this cable work for the VEO 100nx. I recently purchased the VEO 100nx and realized I am going to need a download cable thought it would come with one, silly me. Thanks in advance.
Heres my question. Why did you guys give me the wrong information? I specifically asked if this would work with a VEO 100nx dive computer and you guys said yes. IT DOES NOT! Although the dive computer has the port that you can attach this cable to, the computer itself has no capability for download. The Oceanlog software does not even have the VEO 100nx as a choice for dive computers. Please give the correct information in the future.
Charles, you are 100% correct and I apologize!!! Our instructors have been corrected. The Veo 100, 100nx, and 1.0 computers are NOT PC downloadable. The port is there for 2 reasons. 1, it''s cheaper for Oceanic to use the same case for all models of the computer as opposed to making one different from the rest for non-PC downloadable computers and 2) does allow for firmware/software updates at the manufacturer level if necessary. Our instructor here simply fitted a downloader to a computer without the knowledge of the software on board the computer. Again, we do apologize and have corrected the knowledge of our instructors.
From splash and play to plug and play. Oceanic's OceanLog PC Interface is an exquisitely detailed digital dive log. OceanLog allows you to easily transfer dive data from your PDC to your PC via a plug-in USB cable.

Basic Interpersonal Communicative Skills (BICS) are language skills needed to interact in social situations, for example, when speaking to a friend on the telephone.
We use this language skill in face-to-face interactions, rather than in dealing with academic tasks.
This term is often credited to Jim Cummins research related to language acquisition and learning. The other term that is often used in conjunction with this term is Cognitive Academic Language Proficiency (CALP). Students typically are thought to acquire BICS in 2-3 years but take 5-7 years to develop the CALP needed to be on the same level with their native speaking counterparts in the classroom.

|This article concerns a game that is unreleased.
Some details may be speculative, and may turn out to be incorrect.
The Extraction is a mission in Grand Theft Auto V, given by an unknown person to the game's protagonists. It was confirmed by GameInformer's December 2012 issue.
When the 3 protagonists arrive at the IAA HQ (in-game rendition of the CIA), Franklin is already perched with a Sniper Rifle in a nearby building, in case things get violent. As Trevor hovers overhead, Michael rappels down the building to extract the target. On his way the player can observe offices full of people, giving a real-life feeling. Michael identifies the target, breaks the glass and catches the man, while the bodyguards are pointing guns at him. The player then switches to Franklin, who snipes some of the bodyguards, and then has the choice to switch back to play as Michael as he shoots the remaining guards. Trevor then brings Michael and the captured man back up to the helicopter, as many more helicopters show up. Michael shoots down all of these helicopters, as Trevor flies around them. They all arrive at the FIB helipad and the mission concludes.
- Altough all the images released by GameInformer show a Eurocopter (possibly the new Maverick) as the mission's main vehicle, the second trailer of GTA V shows a Buzzard. Since heists are customisable, the player may be able to choose which aircraft is used.
- In GameInformer's demo review, it was mentioned that the target would be injured due to one of the agents smashing a torch on his finger, causing his finger to bleed; However in the Michael trailer, his hands are unharmed when Michael picks the target up.

BettaFish.com Rules
Welcome to BettaFish.com! This is a community for betta lovers to discuss all aspects of betta fish ownership and care, ask and answer betta related questions, share pictures, stories, and more!
We're passionate about our bettas and know that others are too. The rules below are in place to help keep BettaFish.com a friendly place that is welcoming and respectful of differing opinions.
keep them in mind when posting.
The BettaFish.com Team
1) Be nice. If you can't be nice, be civil. If you can't be civil, please don't post.
Even if you disagree with another member, you can express your opinion in a way that won't cause hard feelings. Please do so.
If somebody doesn't follow this rule and is mean or insulting, please do not reply similarly, because that will only make matters worse. Instead, please report the post(s) in question and allow the Betta Fish Team to address the issue.
2) Let the moderators do the moderating
Do not comment on the inappropriateness of another member's post. If you think a member's post is against the rules or otherwise inappropriate, please report it to a moderator.
Further, please do not attempt to address issues with other members' behavior yourself. Members are very unlikely to change their behavior because of anything another member says to them, and attempts to confront other members typically only exacerbate an issue. Please leave it to the moderators to address other members' behavior. Because moderators have the ability to restrict members' access to the site, moderators can often get through to a member when other members can't. Please feel free to pm a moderator for help at any time.
3) Do not post about any issues you may have with other members.
Do not post about any issues you may have with other members, whether you refer to them explicitly or not. If you have a general issue with another member, please contact the Betta Fish Team, and we will be more than happy to discuss it with you and try to help. If there is an issue with a particular post, please report that post.
4) Do not second guess or otherwise undermine moderators on the open forum
Moderators' actions are the result of careful deliberation by at least one moderator, and often the entire team.
If you disagree with the way an issue was handled, please pm a moderator so that we can explore your concerns. Please do not make posts that criticize a moderator or the Team, as that is only counterproductive and subject to removal.
5) Do not use bad language.
This is a family friendly community, so please do not curse.
6) Keep threads on topic.
Please keep the original poster's purpose for starting a thread in mind when posting in it. While it is natural for the topic of conversation to stray somewhat as threads evolve, please do not make posts that effectively steer a thread in a new and unrelated direction. Instead, please feel free to start a new thread where you can discuss the different topic. Creating new threads, or posts within existing threads, that are blatantly off-topic or serve no legitimate purpose ("spam") is prohibited. Spam Threads/Posts that can be removed without disrupting a thread discussion will be deleted.
7) Do not make unauthorized advertisements.
Many people have sought to leverage the effort that has made this community what it is to drive traffic to their own websites. If we allowed every person who came here to promote their website to do so, this place would consist of nothing but links to other sites that only served to divert our visitors. If you are interested in advertising here, please contact us. Otherwise, advertisements will be removed.
8) Do not discuss inappropriate subject matter.
Certain things simply don't belong on BettaFish.com, such as posts promoting betta fighting, discussing illicit drug use, pornography, violence and suicide etc. Please keep the family friendly nature of this community in mind when posting. Due to the manpower required and the difficulty in monitoring a Role Play thread, as well as the inevitable discussion of violence, it has been decided to deny Role Play threads from any of our Forums.
9) Keep your posts substantive.
While members of all ages 13 and older are welcome to participate, we want to ensure that the community appeals to mature, intelligent fish keepers so that BettaFish.com always remains a community worth visiting. For this reason, we ask that members avoid posting when they have nothing of substance to contribute to a thread. This would include one word posts such as "cool", "pretty", "nice", "cute", etc. or posts that consist only of a smiley.
Please note that reaching a high post count does not result in any benefits whatsoever and has absolutely nothing to do with who is invited to become a moderator, so there is no reason to post merely for the sake of increasing your post count.
10) Keep your signatures reasonable.
We all love our fish. Some members like to do the digital equivalent of shouting it from the rooftops by using large, colorful signatures. Unfortunately, many members find such signatures distracting, especially when they have to see them again and again. For that reason, signatures have been limited to a height of 75 pixels.
You are welcome to link to your personal blog from your signature. If you do so, please return the favor by linking to our parent site,
Tropical Fish Keeping - Aquarium fish care and resources
. If you do, notify a moderator and you will receive a linking member designation for supporting the community.
Please do not link to a commercial site in your signature unless you become a sponsor, and please do not promote other forums, Facebook groups, or other social networks in your signature since that undermines our efforts to maintain this community.
11) Do not resurrect or bump threads without reason.
Please do not post to a thread that has not received a reply in a long time unless you have something substantive to add that is not more appropriate in a new thread. Similarly, please use "bumps" sparingly and do not bump your thread unless/until a significant amount of time has passed without it receiving replies. Excessive bumping is more likely to annoy other members than motivate them to reply to your thread.
12) Do not solicit donations.
Please do not ask for donations of money, fish or equipment from other members. We all feel for those in difficult situations, but unfortunately there is no way to distinguish those who are legitimately in need from those who simply have no problem with getting something for nothing at the expense of others.
13) Do not promote other social networks.
Because a lot of effort has gone into cultivating and maintaining this community, we ask that you not link to or otherwise promote other forums, Facebook groups, or other social networks here.
Please note that our rules are subject to change without notice as we deem appropriate in order to maintain the community.
If you break one or more of these rules you will hear from a moderator who will ask you to revise your behavior accordingly. If you are still unable to follow the rules then unfortunately you may have to be banned so that you don't adversely impact others' use and enjoyment of the community.
Please help us out by following the rules so that we can all enjoy sharing our passion for betta fish together here at BettaFish.com.
Your fish, your responsibility
While we have many knowledgeable fish keepers here, please remember that members' opinions are their own and that it is up to you to determine the best course of action for your fish. We are not responsible for any consequences resulting from following the advice you receive here.
The BettaFish.com Staff

Ray Isle (@islewine on Twitter) is Food & Wine's executive wine editor. We trust his every cork pop and decant â and the man can sniff out a bargain to boot. Take it away, Ray.
Winter is coming (and no, Iâm not talking about "Game of Thrones"). This means you should buy wine in large amounts, not because youâll be drinking more, but because going outside - especially if you live in the Northeast - just wonât be pleasant. Conveniently, most wine stores offer case discounts on wine; usually 10 percent. On a case of $12 bottles, that translates to a bottle free, and change.
To keep everyone from driving out into the sleet, snow and the dreaded âwinter mixâ - which sounds like a snack food but is really just wet, cold stuff blowing in your face - simply because theyâre out of wine, here are four great less-thanâ$12 bottles to buy by the case, and one not-quite-that-cheap-but-still-a-steal Pinot.
2011 Chateau Ste. Michelle Riesling Columbia Valley Dry ($9)
2011 Farnese Trebbiano dâAbruzzo ($9)
2011 Altos Las Hormigas Colonia Las Liebres Bonarda ($10)
2010 Toad Hollow Goldieâs Vineyard Russian River Valley Pinot Noir ($19)

text: Our two-piece chicken waterer is modeled on a vintage design used on farms across America in the first half of the 20th century. An opening near the bottom of the crock allows continuous refilling of water from the upper crock as it depletes from the rim of the saucer below. The thick stoneware helps moderate water temperature, keeping it cool in the summer and from freezing in winter. To fill the "fountain," simply invert the upper crock, fill with water, cover with the upside-downs saucer, and then swiftly invert both pieces.

Private landowners are reaping billions of dollars in royalties each year from the boom in natural gas drilling, transforming some lives even as the windfall provides only a modest boost to the broader economy.
In Pennsylvania royalty payments could top $1.2 billion for 2012, according to an analysis by The Associated Press.
Jerry Simmons, the director of the Oklahoma-based National Association of Royalty Owners, says membership is growing fast in Pennsylvania.
The group says nationwide gas royalties totaled about $22 billion in 2010. Texas paid out the most, about $6.7 billion, followed by Wyoming at $2 billion and Alaska at $1.9 billion.
Robert Inman, a professor of economics at the University of Pennsylvania, says the royalty windfalls are good for individuals, but not a big factor in the overall economy.

Comments about Jugs Small Ball Pitching Machine Package:
This is a great little machine for the money. When the weather is bad you can set it up in your garage or basement. It uses golf ball size soft rubber balls that are more dense than say, a nerf, but aren't so hard that they can dent drywall. We use the jugs bat that is sold separately, its 30" and 17 oz close to what my son already swings but much smaller diameter. I read the other review that is on here and the guy just doesn't get it. You set the machine up 20' away and work from there. If you want challenged more just move closer. And the consistency is fine. It doesn't throw the exact same pitch every time but will stay consistent to within 6-8". We have used this in our den, Garage and even motel rooms. "believe it or not". We have had it for 8 months and my son can go to a regular batting cage and make contact with every single ball in an 8 minute session. This is the best bang for the buck unless you want to pay $1500.00 for a machine pitching real b-balls from a mound. "Money well spent"

Comments about Jugs Small Ball Pitching Machine Package:
I think the Jugs Small Ball machine will improve my kids' eye and swing, but I was a little disappointed in it. First of all, the machine has two speeds: Slow and Fast, nothing in between. It also cannot throw from the pitcher's mound, it has to be set up 20-ft or closer from the batter. The "curve ball" that it throws is simply a sinker. The wheels are in a fixed vertical position, so you cannot throw a real curve ball. I have had issues with the ball coming out of the feeder and tumbling and slipping on the wheels, rather than being grabbed by the wheels and thrown. It happens about one in every twelve pitches, and forces you to either push the ball through manually, or wait till the next ball drops out of the feeder, and then two balls come out at the same time. I do like the auto feeder though. it allows me to fill the machine and then help the kids on their swing...until a ball gets stuck. Lastly, it is not very consistent. It seems there are weight and density differences between the small balls. I wouldn't consider this a huge deal, because it is good for the kids to get something thrown at them other than strikes all the time, but the description did lead me to believe it was very consistent. Would I buy it again??? Hard to say. It's a good tool, but I question whether it is worth the money...my kids like it, so I probably would :)

Yellow perch, we're confident in predicting, will swim in Phillips Reservoir so long as it holds more than a few gallons of water.
What's not guaranteed, though, is that the spiny-finned perch will continue to predominate in Phillips as they have for the past 15 years or so since someone illegally released the fish.
In fact, after hearing a group of local volunteers lay out their anti-perch strategy last week, we think it's likely that rainbow trout will at least start to regain their former position at the top of Phillips' piscatorial ladder.
The sharpest arrow in the quiver for Phillips Reservoir Committee is a net.
As many as 10 nets, actually.
Committee members hope to pull those nets through Phillips' chilly water next spring and capture hundreds of thousands of perch.
The committee's plan is the best we've heard, and for two main reasons:
n It has worked before in the reservoir.
During the springs of 2004 and 2005, Idaho's fish and game agency used nets to gather about 300,000 perch from Phillips. The agency trucked the perch to Cascade Reservoir near McCall, Idaho.
Taking all those fish out of Phillips didn't solve the perch problem the fish reproduce so efficiently that their numbers rebound rapidly but some anglers said they caught more trout after Idaho had culled the perch population.
n It's comparatively cheap and simple and requires neither poison nor a lengthy environmental impact statement.
Frank Bishop, chairman of the Phillips Reservoir Committee, figures a couple of nets and associated equipment will cost about $16,000. The committee also hopes to borrow nets from Idaho, and get grants through the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife to buy nets.
Although poisoning Phillips with rotenone, a chemical that kills all fish, seems an attractive option, it's one fraught with problems.
A couple years ago ODFW used rotenone to rid Diamond Lake, in the Cascades near Crater Lake, of its infestation of tui chub. Yet the Diamond Lake project cost about $6 million and took six years.
We can't imagine ODFW spending a tenth as much money on Phillips, which attracts less than one percent as many anglers as Diamond Lake lures.
Phillips plays a larger role in Baker County's economy than those statistics suggest, though. At least in did in the past when anglers regularly hooked limits of thick rainbow trout.
In 1981, anglers at Phillips contributed an estimated $1.56 million. By 2007 that figure had shrunk, adjusted for inflation, to a piddling $86,000.
The Phillips Reservoir Committee also recommends ODFW release tiger trout in the reservoir. Tiger trout don't reproduce, but they do eat perch.
Adding predatory fish to Phillips could help to pare the perch population. Still, we think it's likely that netting perch will prove the more effective tactic.
So effective, in fact, based on Idaho officials' experience a few years ago, that the Phillips Reservoir Committee has been pondering ways to use the tons of perch they expect to catch.
One idea, Bishop said, is to chop the perch into fertilizer. This would, we're sure, slake many anglers' thirst for revenge and enrich the local soil, besides.
We'll add just two words to the fertilizer proposal:
Fish fry.

The Hunger Games movie comes out this month making fans of the trilogy bate in anticipation of their favorite series' on-screen adaptation. While the actors take part in press for the movie and make their rounds at award shows, it is hard to avoid certain cast members. Who may you ask? Well, you might think I meant the handsome Liam Helmsworth, but I was actually referring to Jennifer Lawrence!
The Hunger Games star knows how to take command of a red carpet, and makes it look effortless. So lets take a look at some of my favorite looks on Jennifer, and don't forget to buy your ticket — I already have mine!

Jennifer first made waves for her impeccable style at the 2011 Academy Awards. She arrived in a flattering, body hugging red Calvin Klein gown, and stole the show with this look!

At this year's People's Choice Awards, Jennifer wore this blue Viktor & Rolf dress. Recently Katy Perry was also spotted wearing this ensemble at Paris Fashion Week. I will leave it up to you to decide who wore it better, but I can't deny that Jennifer definitely worked this look. The makeup choice, her smoky blue eyes, her slicked back hairdo, and her neutral black heels perfectly compliment the dress. Everything worked together to pull one chic look!
Photo Courtesy of RCFA
This month Jennifer was chosen as the April 2012 cover girl for both the U.S. and U.K. version of Glamour Magazine,and the actress looks absolutely radiant throughout the spread. In the above U.S. cover shot, Jennider is wearing a gold Elie Tahari top, and white Lucky Jeans. In her interview, the 21 year old actress, talked about the importance of eating healthy and having a good self body image–very important for young girls to have. I think it can be said that Jennifer is not only a great actress and fashionista, but role model as well!

Black Diamond Positron Quickdraw
The bent/straight gates of the Black Diamond Positron Quickdraw makes it easy to tell which end is rope and which end is bolt. They are solid gate quick-draw with smooth snag free clipping gates, the sling is sewn up between the biners and it keeps them from spinning around, or falling into an awkward position. With a lightweight and durable Dynex dogbone, it would be easy to grab, and whether you're clipping bolts at the crag or extending placements in the alpine. These quick-draws provide full key-lock functionality for hassle-free clipping and cleaning. Lightweight and smooth clipping design eliminates snags whether you're cranking on sport routes or extending gear placements, and the integrated Straitjacket insert keeps the bottom biner in the optimal clipping position. The light-weight sling of the Black Diamond Positron Quickdraw holds securely to the bent gate and is flexible enough to prevent the rope from interfering with the gate, even when clipped "backward" or wandering above your clip.
This product can only be shipped to U.S. addresses.

"Chocolate with Nuts" is a SpongeBob SquarePants episode from season three. In this episode, SpongeBob and Patrick sell chocolate bars.

SpongeBob finds a magazine called Fancy Living Digest in his mail, which depicts the lifestyles of the extremely wealthy. Squidward shows up and takes the magazine, which was actually for him, and SpongeBob and Patrick ask him how people can get so rich. SpongeBob then decides to sell chocolate bars to raise money in hopes of achieving the fancy lifestyle.
However, no one initially wants to buy any chocolate bars. The first person they visit goes berserk upon hearing the word "chocolate", and begins chasing them while madly screaming "CHOCOLATE!!!!" He stalks them throughout the episode, appearing and causing them to run away from him at several points.
Along the way, SpongeBob and Patrick are also convinced to purchase candy bar carrying bags by a con artist who is only known as The Con Man. He later scams them again, selling them "candy bar bag carrying bags". The next person was Sadie, but SpongeBob couldn't find her candy bar making her impatient, and slamming the door in their faces. After running away from Tom again, they sit in the diner and think about a new approach. Patrick says "Let's get naked," but SpongeBob decides to be nice. Patrick says "I love you" to the first guy they try this on, but he slams the door in disgust. They try again, but the customer refuses to buy chocolate since it made him obese as a teenager and shows a picture as proof, which Patrick buys. SpongeBob figures that they are too easily distracted and need to stay focused on selling. Patrick takes this literally and freaks out their next customer by focusing on him with his eyes. Eventually, after seeing an advertisement for "Barnacle Chips", SpongeBob and Patrick decide to increase the appeal of their product by "stretching" the truth. The first customers they use this tactic on are an old lady and her very old mother. They claim that the chocolate will make one immortal by rubbing it on their skin, which the extremely old mother is delighted by to her daughter's dismay.
The duo continue this strategy, making several absurd promises about the chocolate. Their lies culminate in them dressing in bandages and pretending to be badly injured and in need of an operation. However, the customer they go to is himself in far worse shape than they claim to be, and must sell chocolate to pay his medical bills. Feeling extreme sympathy for the man, SpongeBob and Patrick buy a huge amount of chocolate from him with all the money they had just made. However, the man is then revealed to be the same con artist who had scammed them twice before.
SpongeBob and Patrick despair since they don't have anyone else to sell chocolate to and decide to give up. Suddenly, the initial first customer appears and scares them. He says that he has been trying to catch them all day, and seems intent on killing them before saying that he would simply like to buy all their chocolate, which leaves SpongeBob and Patrick speechless. SpongeBob and Patrick make a fortune from him, which they use to rent out a fancy restaurant on a double date with Mary and her mother, much to Squidward's shock.

- This episode is available on the Christmas, Complete 3rd Season, and First 100 Episodes DVDs.
|Between December 02-December 14
- List of lies that chocolate can do:
- Make you live longer.
- Makes your hair grow (A bald Fred says "Great! My wife's trying to grow a beard!).
- Makes you sound smart (Hillbilly Fishkin says "I'll take 20!").
- Keeps your face from getting any uglier (Said by Patrick to a man who looks identical to him and says "Just in time!").
- Makes you fly.
- Makes you fall in love.
- Brings world peace.
- Gives the ability to walk through walls.
- Makes you rule the world.
- SpongeBob and Patrick are injured and in dire need of an operation to the rip-off artist.
- There is a picture of SpongeBob's front lawn in one customer's house.
- SpongeBob and Patrick buy 20 candy bar bag carrying bags, yet only 2 are shown (1 for each).
- Running Gag: Tom chasing SpongeBob and Patrick screaming chocolate, the Con Man scamming them, and SpongeBob and Patrick making lies about their chocolate.
- Irony: SpongeBob and Patrick keep spending more money then they make (that is until Tom buys all their chocolate).
- The picture when Patrick runs out of the diner and is frozen has become somewhat popular on YouTube, and has been dubed "Patward".
- In Indonesian dub version of the episode, the scene where SpongeBob and Patrick in the Diner and Patrick's says, "I know, let's get naked!" was changed to "I wanna buy more bags!". Also happens when Patrick says "I love you" was changed to "Hi darling" It's proof is right here (notice the word "hai sayang"(you can translate it to English)
- The part where Tom screams, "CHOCOLAAAAAAAAATE!" has become popular on YouTube, which has made Chocolate with Nuts one of the most popular episodes of the show.
- Patrick buys 10 pictures of a customer at 13, when he was extremely fat, but only 5 are visible in the next scene. Also if you take a closer look at that picture, the word, "Years" is missing. Then back on, then off.
- The top of the cover of Fancy Living Digest reads "December 02-December 14" (The same day the episode first aired).
- In the Polish version, this episode does not have a title.
- The title screen for this episode looks like a chocolate bar.
- In the subtitles on the complete season 3 DVD, SpongeBob says he has "eternal bleeding," when he says, in fact, "internal Bleeding"
- The scene where Patrick says "I love you." has become popular on YouTube.
- This is probably Tom's biggest (and most funniest) role yet.
- At one point, Patrick meets another starfish who looks exactly like him. That starfish actually wore a shirt with the same design on Patrick's pants. His bottom half is cut off so it may be assumed that the starfish doesn't wear pants as Patrick doesn't wear a shirt.
- After Tom catches SpongeBob and Patrick in the second to last scene, SpongeBob and Patrick start blabbering gibberish.
- The extremely old mother said she was alive when they "invented" Chocolate. However was never actually invented.
