Opentk 1.1Posted Wednesday, 13 July, 2011 - 07:13 by avc81 in
Code can be reviewed by other contributors and not just the Fiddler. Generally when you have more people looking at the same bit of code, you'll find more of it's bugs in a shorter amount of time. If the Fiddler is not thorough with his testing, low quality code can be committed to the server or bugs can be missed. As for the bottleneck, I'm talking about the fact that there are many small patches to the math structs that haven't been committed to the server in over a year and a half, nothing to do with quality.
There are many modifications that would be very helpful if merged with the trunk. For example, I'm currently optimizing the Matrix4 class and have managed to speed up all the methods, some of them 2-3x faster than the SVN trunk. I'm also implementing Matrix3/2. I would imagine that this would be helpful to most people who use OpenTK's math structs. Right now I'm just holding on to this code to finish it and make sure it outputs the same values as the current methods, then eventually submit an issue, but under a DCVS I could be sharing incremental versions of my changes where other people can help with the optimizing and testing, then after it's all done, I request our changes to be merged in to the Fiddler's repository.
Issue tickets still exist under a DCVS, and not all contributions have to be merged in or even shared with other contributors. People make requests for the Fiddler to merge their changes in, project-specific changes won't request to be merged in. If they do, the Fiddler can still choose to deny the request. A DCVS doesn't remove either of these things.
And I've already linked to this, but the Fiddler has already said he wants to move to a DCVS: http://www.opentk.com/blog/1/moving-to-bazaar-part1-planning
I would personally prefer Git, but all I really want is the switch to Bazaar/Launchpad to happen. I've already stated my opinion, I'm not going to clog up this thread any further as arguments over version control software can go on forever.
It's +2 months from the prior release goal, and the last SVN activity I see was on 12/15.
Do you people really think that constant nagging makes things progress faster?
Also if somebody wants to provide fixes there's always the possibility to post diffs against svn trunk, simply to avoid all the religious discussions about whether git is the holy grail or not.
If you read that post in context, you'll see I'm not requesting 1.1 be done faster. I'm requesting an updated ETA for project planning purposes. If the release is on hold indefinitely, that's perfectly understandable (and is what I'll assume if I don't see any update by the end of Feb.)
I do agree that style of repository (distributed or non) does not appear to be the gating issue for this project - progress seems to be gated Fiddler's availability, as he indicates in his own posts. I hope that this changes in the near future, but it seems unlikely.
I have never experienced a collaborative project where "more contributors" meant "higher quality". Never.
If there's a fork of OpenTK in the future called OpenTKExtended then you will know why it was created. It's no ones fault, it's the way to be.
Aha! at last a fateful word "Fork" has sounded...
If somebody deiced to start a fork of OpenTK, I hope it would be for the right reasons, not for political decisions. (FFMpeg vs libAV for example)
But if OpenTK isn't accepting contributions, and the project managers are too busy with AFK things to maintain the package, I think a fork with a goal of eventual repatriation with the original project isn't completely insane. I'm not endorsing or proposing one. Fork is a scary word, but sometimes a necessary one.
If somebody deiced to start a fork of OpenTK, I hope it would be for the right reasons, not for political decisions.
Correct. This happened to Java, like Oracle/Sun JDK and OpenJDK. But I also hate the "divide and conquer" mindset, if it's for the common good then you can name this "Fork" a "Community Branch", not a different repository.
But in any case, in one hand there is OpenTK that is rock-stable and safe as the founders want it, but on the other hand there is OpenTKCommunity that is more experimental and is always gets pressure from the community. The OpenTK project afterwards can merge parts that are proven to be successful.
Just to follow-up, I switched to the dev nightly as of last week, and the CreateContextAttribsARB error that occurred periodically when using a Quadro 4000 has not occurred since the switch. Further, no regressions were found in our automated testing. Nice work! It appears my concerns about pulling a development branch for production were unfounded.

MySQL 5.7.4 was recently released (it is the latest MySQL 5.7, and is the "m14″ or "Milestone 14″ release), and is available for download here and here.
The 5.7.4 changelog begins with the following, so I felt it appropriate to include it here as well.
In Memoriam:
"This release is dedicated to the memory of two young engineers of the MySQL Engineering family, Astha and Akhila, whom we lost while they were in their early twenties. This is a small remembrance and a way to recognize your contribution to the 5.7 release. You will be missed."
As for the fixes, there are quite a few, which is to be expected in such an early milestone release.
The main highlights for me were:
Of course, there were many, many more fixes/updates (InnoDB being #1, Replication #2, and Partitioning #3 with most fixed bugs), so be sure to read through the full changelog. And if you are running a previous version of *5.7*, then definitely plan on upgrading to this latest 5.7.4.
Hope this helps.

Bought a bunch at $4.85. This was maybe not one of my smartest moves. The mojo that moved this stock is lost. There are plentity of shares available and fewer buyers willing to gamble here. It will take some kind of news and I'm not sure they have any to offer. If this starts to move lower, I plan on taking that small loss and wait.
Sentiment: Hold
Slod @6.75 and 6.0 rebought @5.22,4.99 and yesterday @4.65 I am thinking there is support @ 4.6 as that is a 50% retracemant from the 6.95 top. I think there is bounce in the near future. Dont you think the companies that are in deals with astx . are accumilating shares at these lower levels. The Calvary is on their way. I hope they arrive soon Signed General Custer.
Calvary got there to late for General Custer. I made a mistake, thinking this was a buy because it looked cheaper than the $6.90 top. This reminds me of the time rory thought BAC was cheap and I warned him. I should have listen to my own advice. Without some kind of meaningful announcement, this may test the $3's. As for companies in deals with astex, no I do not think they are accumulating.
Decision was made for me. I had a stop and it got triggered. GL, this maybe headed much lower.
I've pocketed Over $5 a share profit. Last week you crawled out from under a rock when the stock retraced and then had to crawl way under the rock for another large haircut. You're stuck holding short term gains and had to give back 31% of them. I don't think you should be throwing stones.
Maybe you're just too stupid to realize it. Well maybe one day you can remove your head from your butt and learn to actually make a profit. You and rory and jelly have the worst track records. Then again you're the same fool. The only question that remains, are you tragically naive or terminally ignorant. I called the bottom and the top, you on the other have done neither. Only a moron would see it any other way.
I love debating you batzem,rory,jelly. The best part you wanted to blame me for the stock falling to the $1.25 range and you wanted all the credit for it running to $6.90. Today you sit at $4.75. How's that KV-a and ARQL working out for you.
You can slice this anyway you want. You're still down $2.15. I call that the batzem phenomenon. I also suspect at $4.75, you're maybe breakeven.
You have become a pretty good contrary indicator . Basically anyone who does the opposite of what you say makes money.. Guess this is one of the many reasons you're not always right. Or is it always wrong
I guess we'll see how smart you are. I sold a bunch of puts at the $4.5 strike. Stock was at 4.65. I'll be happy to own the stock at 4.5 minus my 20 cent premium.
calvary may have arrived do you think the comeback is short covering

FAIRHAVEN — A motorcyclist who was riding his bike with a cup of coffee between his knees was injured Thursday in an accident at Route 6 and Sconticut Neck Road, police said.
Jeremy Peasley, 27, of Fairhaven was also wearing a motorcycle helmet that was not approved by the state Department of Transportation, according to Sgt. Kevin Kobza. He will be cited for impeded operation of a motorcycle and a second violation for the unapproved helmet, Kobza said.
Peasley suffered minor injuries in an accident which occurred about 8 a.m., but refused medical treatment, police said.
The motorcycle was traveling east on Route 6 and a Dodge sedan was heading northbound, exiting Sconticut Neck Road, police said. The operator of the car was Laurie Bertrand of Fairhaven. Her age was not available from police.
Police said they are unsure if either of the drivers had a red light and are asking any witnesses to the accident to contact Officer Kevin Viveiros at 508-997-7421.

Globalization—Working Together and Celebrating Our Differences
San Francisco! The name conjures images of the Golden Gate Bridge, China Town, Russian Hill, Union Square, Cable cars, Fisherman's Wharf (eating Dungeness crab), countless beaches, and quaint enclaves. The city has enchanted and inspired many poets, song writers, artists, food connoisseurs, and now, dare we say it -- academics.
It certainly inspires our imagination.
With the advancement of supply-chain technologies, the globalization of commerce and lowering of international trade barriers continues to gain momentum. As the world seemingly contracts before us, cultural exchange is in full swing as the more we work together – the more we notice how different we are from one another. Ultimately, this globalization and multiculturalism give meaning to our working together. Thus, the chosen theme, "Working Together and Celebrating our Differences", embodies not only our 2012 meeting but the city of San Francisco as well.
Come join us in our celebration of working together, overcoming our differences, and appreciating who we are and how we are different!
As a participant in the 2012 conference you can expect to enjoy the following:
The venue for the 2012 DSI Annual Meeting will be the San Francisco Marriott, 55 Fourth Street. This hotel is centrally located and offers excellent access to restaurants, tours and entertainment, as well as scenic vistas of the beautiful San Francisco bay and Bay Bridge. For more information, visit the 2012 DSI website at http://www.decisionsciences.org.

Academic standing is based upon Grade Point Average, GPA 1. A GOOD academic standing requires a GPA 1 of 2.0 or higher.
Students with an academic standing of SUSP Suspension, DISM Academic Dismissal or IDIS Indefinite Academic Dismissal cannot take any courses and are required to sit out for a semester or longer.
SUSP carries a one semester penalty (May term, Summer I and II count as one semester), while DISM and IDIS require a student to sit out for 12 months. After sitting out, a student may file an appeal to change the academic standing to probation - PROB 2 or 3.
Transfer students who are not in good academic standing at their previously attended institution will be placed on probation - PROB 1, and are subject to the probation procedures established by Brookhaven College.
A student on academic probation may be limited to fewer course hours and is only eligible to enroll in courses offered by Brookhaven College. Students on probation MUST register in person by the probation registration deadline and are not eligible to register or drop courses online.
NOTE: There is no appeal for missing the deadline. Students on probation are not eligible to register for flex term courses after the deadline. The earliest opportunity to register will be the following semester.
The flowcharts explain how GPA impacts academic standing, the consequences of poor performance and the requirements to reach GOOD academic standing.
Registration for Winter Term and Spring begins Nov. 30.Registration for May Term, Summer and Fall begins April 25.
NOTE: Any student who has not attended a DCCCD college in more than one year must go to the Admissions Office and reapply to the college before proceeding to the Advising Center.
Follow these instructions every semester until you reach GOOD academic standing (GPA 1 of 2.0 or higher); plan early and register before the probation registration deadline.
PROB 1: Students on probation 1 are required to complete the online Probation Information Session prior to meeting with an advisor and registering for courses. Study the presentation and complete the questions. A student must correctly answer 100% of the questions to earn a permission slip. Bring the permission slip and a completed copy of the Time Management Worksheet to the Advising Center for registration.
PROB 2: Students on probation 2 MUST meet with an academic advisor. Students on PROB 2 need to bring completed copies of the Success Contract and the Time Management Worksheet when meeting with an advisor.
PROB 3: Students on probation 3 MUST meet with a probation 3 advisor. Students on PROB 3 need to bring completed copies of the Success Contract and the Time Management Worksheet when meeting with a probation 3 advisor.
SUSP - Students on Suspension cannot attend a DCCCD college for one semester (May term, Summer I and II count as one semester). After sitting out, students MUST meet with an academic advisor before registering as a PROB 2 student.
DISM - Students on Academic Dismissal cannot attend a DCCCD college for 12 months and upon return MUST meet with a probation 3 advisor before registering as a PROB 3 student.
IDIS - Students on Indefinite Academic Dismissal cannot attend a DCCCD college for at least 12 months. Students on indefinite academic dismissal MUST speak with a probation 3 advisor in order to determine eligibility.
Students with an academic standing of SUSP, DISM or IDIS must complete ALL three of the documents below and bring copies when they meet with an advisor:
We want to help you reach your goals; however, you will need to make your education a top priority. You will need to make the appropriate arrangements to meet with a probation advisor in order to successfully plan your academic future. If you work during the college's hours of operation, you will need to take the time off work to meet with a probation advisor. This will require you to make arrangements to arrive at the Advising Center between the hours of 8 a.m. and 2 p.m. You must arrive a few hours before the Advising Center closes in order to allow adequate time for advisement. Be mindful during registration periods that you may have to commit several hours of your time to complete the registration process. PROB 3 advisors are available on Monday and Thursday evenings.
Brookhaven College reserves the right to change or alter the statements and procedures on this page.

Average Rating: 4.5 in 7 reviews
I first learned this game while working as a nanny in Switzerland and had a lot of fun playing several different versions of it with children from ages 5-10. Since returning from Europe I've taught it to a lot of my friends, who just love it! We'll sit there playing it for hours! We especially like a version called "Asel" (donkey) In this version you dived the cards all up inbetween the different players (2-6 players) and each flip one card over. If you have an eleven you place it in the middle, and if not you can place cards on eachothers piles going up and down (a 17 on an 18, or a 11 on a 12) until you can no longer play, and then it's the next persons turn. However, if you fail to place a card when you could have and someone else sees it, they call "Asel!" and get to give you one of your cards. The object is to get rid of all your cards. It's simple and yet keeps you paying attention, tons of fun for all ages!
Want a creative game that's different from the normal card games? Then you need to play Elfer Raus!
My in-laws introduced this to my wife and I and since then we have managed to get my sister and her family hooked as well as my brother and sister-in-law.
We always play this game when we get together. You can go a few rounds and enjoy the game along with good conversation.
Oh, don't forget the strategy. How long can you hold onto those key cards so that your opponents have to play the card you need? Aha! All part of the game of Elfer Raus!
The only drawback that we had in our game was that the instructions were in German. You can find English translations on the web by searching for it in your favorite search engine.
Happy gaming!
This game is basic, simple but still requires strategy. We've wasted hours and hours playing this card game. I'm a game player. I love games. As far as card games goes, this is my favorite game to play with groups of people.
We've played with as little as 3 and as many as 12 people. If you have a group of friends that you play cards with I can guarantee this will be an instant hit after playing it a couple of times.
Some friends of ours have this German card game. We have a great time playing this card game with them. We would like to purchase this card game for our selves and possibly other decks of these cards for other members of our family. This is a good game for children as well as adults of all ages. It can become very competitive and a good mixer for people.
A consistent group of us play one of the variations described in Elfer-raus called 'Trump.' It is enjoyable, as well as challenging. One of the reasons we enjoy it is because it can be played with a large group of people (we've played with up to 10, I believe) and requires minimal space and equipment (the deck of cards and a score sheet).
The object of 'Trump' is to bid the same number of tricks that you actually win with each hand, based on the cards you hold. The number of cards increases by one with each deal, and becomes both challenging and unpredictable. The scoring potential also increases with the number of cards dealt, and thus the score can rapidly and drastically fluctuate. Each player's style of play differs, so one never knows just what will happpen, which makes it all the more interesting. It can be addictive!

Review by Greg J. Schloesser
NOTE: This review was first published on the Opinionated Gamers website
Remember the days of Euphrat & Tigris, Amun-Re, Taj Mahal and Stephensons Rocket? These were vintage Knizia designs, games that had great depth and required detailed strategic planning and tough decision making. Ahh, those were the days. Sadly, they seem to be long gone, as Herr Knizia now seems content to appeal to a wider market by designing lighter, family fare. Start 11, the board game version of the card game Elfer Raus!, falls squarely into this "lighter, family fare" category.
The challenge in Start 11 is to be the first to play all of your domino-like tiles to the board. Tiles are numbered 1 – 20 in four different colors (red, orange, green and blue), but the numbers 3, 7, 13 and 17 are actually gray "wild cards." The tiles are light plastic and slightly smaller than standard domino tiles. Each player begins with 15 tiles (more if playing with less than four players), which are placed in their multi-tiered, Scrabble-like tile holder.
Players take turns playing tiles to the board, hoping to be the first to deplete their supply. The large board provides space for all of the dominoes to be placed. These spaces are divided into four separate rows, one for each color. Three columns (1, 11 and 20) are highlighted, which indicates that these tiles can be placed in violation of the normal placement rules. Further, there are bridges wherein two tiles in parallel rows touch, creating an adjacency, which is important when placing tiles.
The main rule when placing a tile is that it must be adjacent to a previously placed tile. Rows are not considered adjacent except at the bridges mentioned above. The only exception to this placement rule is the "11", which can be placed without regard to adjacency.
A player must place one tile on his turn, and he may play up to two more tiles. Incidentally, the start player is the one who can first play an "11", a rule that gave the game its name. Tiles must be placed on the appropriate space (for example, the green "4" must be placed on the green "4" space). The only exception is the wild tiles, which must be placed on the matching number, but may be placed on any of the four rows. Further, as mentioned above, once a tile is placed in one of the three highlighted columns, any tile with that same number can be played in the respective row, regardless of adjacency. So, once a player places a "1", all other "1" spaces become playable. These rules help make placement easier and prevents the game from locking-up too often.
If a player cannot play a tile, he must draw a tile from the bag, playing it if able or placing it into his rack if unable to play it. The player must do this up to three times before his turn ends. If the tile is able to be played, he may then play up to two more tiles as normal. It seems wise to keep your options open by trying to keep one playable tile in your rack between turns. Otherwise you may be forced to draw tiles, thereby possibly adding more tiles to your rack. Since the goal is to deplete your tiles first, adding new tiles to the rack is generally not advisable.
Four of the "bridge" spaces mentioned above have an additional special function: the first player to place a tile on the bridge draws a tile from the bag and immediately places it on the appropriate space on the board, even if it violates the normal placement rules. This may open new spaces on the board, making legal placements easier. Again, this helps prevent situations wherein multiple players cannot legally play tiles.
If a player places two adjacent tiles within one number row on a turn, he can pass a tile to his leftmost opponent. This is a nifty move that can allow a player to pass on an undesirable tile.
The game follows this placement sequence until one player has placed all tiles from his rack. If playing just one match, this player is the winner. If playing multiple matches, all other players must tally the value of the tiles remaining in their racks, making note of this on an un-supplied notepad. After an agreed-upon number of matches, the player with the least number of points is victorious.
The game includes eight symbol tiles which are only used when playing with the official variant. These tiles may be placed on matching symbols at the end of each of the rows, which immediately allows the player to place any tile onto the board without adhering to the normal placement restrictions. Of course, a symbol tile may only be placed if the adjacent number tile has been placed, so they can be a bit more difficult to place. Failure to place a symbol tile will cost the player 11 points at game's end, so get them played when you can!
Start 11 is a light, painless affair that serves as a nice, pleasant family game. It is very similar in feel and tactics as Knizia's Rondo, which was surprisingly fairly well received in gaming circles. One of my fellow gamers—who won the game—commented that he made no actual decisions during the game. If he could play tiles, he did. While I do believe there are some decisions, they are mostly easy and non-taxing. There is nothing here that will ignite a fire of strategic passion. It is akin to dominoes in that it is light fun that doesn't tax one's brain power. There is certainly a market for such games, and Start 11 will likely fare reasonably in that market. Gamers, however, will likely find little here to be of interest.

Post subject: teething
Hi my daughter seems to have been teething forever (since she was 4 months), and still no tooth!!! She's 8 months this week!. Keep checking daily- when she lets me that is!!! Can't wait for them to start coming through- she seems to look really gummy now.
Hearing of babies cutting teeth at 4/5 months!!!

hey guys!
i agree, i think teething does seem to make them a bit poorly. my son didnt get any teeth until he was 10 or 11 months old and then they all suddenly came through but he was very ill with some of them - he was very snotty and chesty, constantly dribbling and had awfully mucusy poo and he has only ever had nappy rash as he got his teeth! then as soon as they were properly through everything cleared up in an instant. funny how it all works, eh?!
try bonjela for babies and we also got some ambusol antiseptic stuff from pharmacy you rub a bit over their gums and apparantly numbs it - seemed to take the edge off of teething for my son. hope this helps! xx

Guingamp substitute Fatih Atik and Mustapha Yatabare netted in the 112nd and 117th minutes respectively to set up a Brittany final against Stade Rennes, who beat Ligue 2 Angers 3-2 on Tuesday, at the Stade de France on May 3.
Monaco, who spent over 100 million euros ($138 million) on players during the close season, are out of the League Cup and lie second in Ligue 1, 10 points behind leaders Paris St Germain with five games left.
The hosts went ahead on six minutes when Yatabare latched on to Steeven Langil's free kick to beat Sergio Romero from close range.
Monaco, however, dominated and were rewarded nine minutes from time when Bulgarian striker Dimitar Berbatov equalised by tapping in Fabinho's pass back.
Guingamp were the better side in the second half, going very close several times through Yatabare, but no goals were scored and the tie went into extra time.
Atik put Guingamp ahead with a nice volley from Thibault Giresse's cross.
Giresse, the son of former France midfielder Alain Giresse, also set up Yatabare just inside the box and the Mali striker put the result beyond doubt. ($1 = 0.7243 Euros)

Build a wall like the one above! Handmade of high-density casting plaster. bag covers 45 square inches. Matching #2075 corner bricks used to complete the wall.
Paul Anderson of Andi Mini Brick and Stone finished the exterior of the custom-built "Grandpa Anderson's Miniature House" with #2070 Authentic Used Bricks.
325 pieces per bag.Brick 9/16"W x 1/4"H x 1/8"D
Scale: 1/12
Assembly Required:
No1/12 scale, also referred to as one-inch scale (or 1" scale), means 1 inch = 1 foot
Real bricks, the wall looks extremely realistic once finished, I used them together with the mortar mix from the shop and the result is just perfect.
I love the look of the used brick. The only thing I would do different is to use a chalk line to make the lines of brick straighter. Once you put in the mortar then the crooked lines are not noticeable. Use a spray can of clear spray paint to lock in the shine.
I liked the "Red" Authentic Bricks (#2071) so much that I just purchased these "Used" bricks. Of the two colors, I prefer the "Red", but both are excellent miniature bricks. Before gluing or mortaring them, be sure to seal as stated in the instructions on the package. A spray-on matte sealer works very well.
I found out at first that if, after gluing each brick and then using mortar to fill in, it was very difficult to clean up to excess mortar. The next time I used these bricks, after gluing down, I sprayed them with a mat sealer before using the mortar. Worked like a charm! Very easy to clean off excess mortar afterwards. After all had set up, I re-sprayed and it brought out the true colors in the brick.

Yes Men-like spoof enrages Canadian PM's staff
For eager environmentalists, the press release must have seemed too good to be true: the Canadian government, until now offering a pathetic greenhouse gas emissions cut of just three per cent from 1990 levels, was now going to meet the most aggressive European target of 40 per cent.
But instantly upon its release, reporters in this sprawling press centre (seating for 2,000, not counting television, radio and wire-service journalists) starting wagging their heads: this was just not believable from the current Canadian government.
The next development, however, had everyone marvelling. The conservative and usually reliable Wall Street Journal had taken the bait, reporting "Canada Announces Major Shift at COP15 Climate Summit." Except that was a spoof, too, although a particularly fabulous one. You could click back and forth on the links, from the story to the home page and to other pages, without ever realizing that you weren't on a legitimate news site. It was only when you tried to Google the same story that thing revealed themselves as less than met the eye. But while reporters were giggling and environmentalists were imagining how grand it would be if this were actually true, Prime Minister Stephen Harper's press attache Dimitri Soudas was accusing Stephen Guilbaut of the Quebecois environmental group Equiterre of being behind the send-up.
Guilbaut, one of the most seasoned and credible members of the Canadian Climate Action Network was outraged, or seemed to be when he arrived at a scheduled press conference with a much-delayed Canadian Environment Minister Jim Prentice. But in the face of his demand for an apology, Soudas pretty much accused him of being unCanadian for having the temerity to criticize the Canadian governments humiliating - internationally embarrassing - proposals.
TV coverage is available here from CBC

This is funny but if somebody
This is funny but if somebody did this up the other way with official looking press releases saying the science was a fraud. Scientists confessing to making stuff up, IPCC disbanding etc.
Then, would you guys play it a different way? demanding names perhaps?
Richard Littlemore replied on Permalink
They really want to make their targets weaker...
Unfortunately, the Conservative government has considered making its targets even weaker; CBC has documents:
"…The proposal raises questions on how the Tories could cut overall greenhouse gas emissions by 20 per cent by 2020 — a target they insist they can reach — while weakening the targets in the oil and gas sector.
CBC News has obtained draft documents that were prepared for presentation to Prime Minister Stephen Harper's cabinet in the weeks leading up to the United Nations climate change summit in Copenhagen…" http://www.cbc.ca/politics/story/2009/12/14/greenhouse-gas-emissions.html

Texas Occupation Tax for Oil and Gas Well Services
March 2001
The Well Servicing Tax
An occupation tax is levied on persons who perform certain services associated with oil and gas wells. The tax is 2.42 percent of the gross amount of the charge for service, less the reasonable wellhead value of any material used or consumed in the well. If the tax is collected from a customer, it must be included in the service company's gross receipts reported for tax purposes.
Note: The term person means an individual, partnership, firm, joint stock company, association, or corporation.
The well servicing tax, legally identified as a Miscellaneous Occupation Tax, is often referred to as the "2.42-percent" tax.
The three primary taxable services are:
- Cementing the casing seat of any oil or gas well;
- Shooting, fracturing, or acidizing sands or other formations in any oil or gas well;
- Surveying or testing oil or gas well formations or the contents of formations with instruments or equipment partially or wholly located within the well bore.
The tax does not apply to a service incidental to drilling, completing, reworking, or reconditioning a well when the service is performed by the person drilling or reworking the well.
A service is taxable when performed by a person who offers well servicing for a fee, and who:
- Owns, controls, or furnishes the tools, instruments, and equipment used to provide the oil or gas well service; or
- Uses any chemical, electrical, or mechanical process to provide the service at any oil or gas well.
Tax Permits
A well servicing company must hold a valid permit issued by the Comptroller of Public Accounts to transact business in Texas.
Permits issued by the Comptroller's office expire on December 31 of each year. Applications for new permits are automatically mailed to firms with active accounts.
A permit will be issued when the Comptroller determines that any well servicing tax due has been paid by an applicant and the applicant has complied with the applicable tax laws. The permit must be displayed at the principal office of the applicant.
Tax Report
A tax report is due on or before the 20th day of each month reflecting the previous month's activities. A well servicing company is furnished a supply of report forms when its permit is issued. Additional forms may be requested as needed.
Primary Taxable Services
Cementing the Casing Seat
Cementing the casing seat is a taxable service. Cementing a casing seat begins with placement of the production string in the well and ends when the cement is in place. Cementing the bottom liner used as an extension of a non-continuous production string is a taxable service.
Taxable services involved in cementing the casing seat include:
Shooting Sands/Other Formations
- Mixing cement slurry;
- Blending;
- Setting packers or placing hangers, if done by the service company during the cementing operation;
- Pumping slurry from the mixer and/or blender to the wellhead pump;
- Using equipment to pump cement into a well.
Shooting the sands or other formations is the only shooting service subject to the well servicing tax.
No tax is due on the following services:
- Perforating or cutting casing;
- Shooting to remove fish;
- Shooting to clean screens or strainers.
Fracturing Sands/Other Formations
Fracturing usually involves forcing a fluid carrying a propping agent into cracks formed by applying hydraulic pressure into a formation.
All oil or gas well fracturing operations are taxable whether the purpose is to stimulate production in a new well or to increase production in an old well.
Fracturing operations include:
- Mixing and/or blending proppant and fluid at the well;
- Blending additives or inhibitors into the fracturing medium at the well;
- Injecting any other material into the fracturing medium at the well;
- Pumping the fracturing medium at the well;
- Sealing perforations in multiple completions during the fracturing process.
Nontaxable services associated with fracturing include:
- Perforating casing;
- Cleaning perforations preparatory to fracturing;
- Surveying prior to fracturing when the survey is not used to locate or determine a production formation;
- Providing frac tank services.
Acidizing Sands/OtherFormations
Acidizing an oil or gas well formation to stimulate or improve production, to prevent scaling, or to prepare the formation for a scale-inhibiting chemical treatment is a taxable service.
Taxable acidizing services include:
- Mixing the acidizing medium at the well;
- Blending or injecting additives and/or inhibitors at the well;
- Plugging perforations during the acidizing process;
- Pumping charges incurred at the well.
Nontaxable acidizing services include:
- Recovering fish or stuck pipe;
- Cleaning screens or strainers;
- Dissolving drilling material sheaths;
- Dissolving paraffin deposits in the producing equipment;
- Acidizing soluble materials.
Surveying Sands and Other Formations or Their Contents
The most common survey of an oil or gas well formation is the log. There are two basic types of logs-an open hole log and a cased hole log. Any log or survey run with an instrument in the well bore to locate, measure, or determine the depth, character, or contents of a formation is a taxable service.
They include the following logs or surveys:
- Electric;
- Neutron;
- Chlorine;
- Acoustic;
- Temperature;
- Fluid Ingress and/or Egress Surveys;
- Gamma Ray;
- Density;
- Compensated Neutron;
- Tracer;
- Dip Surveys.
The following services are not taxable:
- Electric logs used only to locate junk or fish in a well bore;
- Acoustic logs used to survey results of cementing;
- Temperature surveys used to check the results of cementing;
- Cement bond surveys;
- Tracer logs used only to detect channels behind the casing or to plot an injection profile;
- Temperature surveys used to check mechanical equipment in the well bore;
- Fluid surveys conducted with a sonic instrument located only at the surface and not in the well bore;
- Deflection or deviation surveys;
- Surveys to locate free point of stuck pipe;
- Caliper logs used to determine condition of the well bore or cementing requirements;
- Collar logs;
- Corrosion surveys;
- Dip meter surveys to locate a subsequent well.
Some correlation logs are taxable services. Some are not. A log run to correlate a service company's equipment with an existing log is not a taxable service since its purpose is to position equipment. A cased hole log used to correlate an open hole log is a taxable service.
Testing Formations or Their Contents
The phrase contents of a formation refers to fluids, gases, and pressures. The following tests are taxable services when performed by a person other than the driller:
- A drill stem test;
- A bottom hole or depth pressure test;
- Productivity index tests made with an instrument in the well and during drilling, completion, reworking, or reconditioning of the well.
The following tests are not taxable services:
- Any analysis of fluids, cores, or cuttings made outside the well bore;
- Open flow potential tests when no instrument is in the well;
- Gas-oil ratio tests.
Multiple Services
Servicing companies often perform several operations on one trip into and out of a well-some taxable, some nontaxable.
Taxable and nontaxable services may be billed separately to avoid a tax on the entire service charge. It is important for a well servicing company to distinguish multiple services from services performed in direct connection and simultaneously with a primary taxable service.
Example: A service company runs a cased hole log and perforates in one trip into the well. The charge for perforating will not be taxable since the log is run first and then the perforating is performed.
Additional Charges Associated with a Primary Taxable Service
Many service companies make separate charges for various miscellaneous functions associated with fracturing or acidizing.
Example: During a fracturing job, it may be necessary to apply pressure in the casing to keep packers positioned properly. The casing pump operates simultaneously during the fracturing activity. The charge for the casing pump is taxable. The fact that it may be invoiced separately does not change the taxability status.
Some common taxable charges associated with services performed in direct connection and simultaneously with a primary taxable service include:
- Charges for ball injectors;
- Charges for injecting materials to enhance the recovery of the frac fluid;
- Mixing, blending, and proportioning charges.
Miscellaneous Charges
Most service companies have a variety of miscellaneous charges, the most prevalent being the basic service charge. If the service charge is invoiced as a basic one-time charge (per day, per trip, etc.) it may be allocated for tax purposes, provided the allocation can be supported by pricing literature. The allocation will be based upon the ratio of taxable services performed to total services performed.
Example: A service company has a $500-per-day basic service charge and two services are performed-a taxable log and a nontaxable perforating job. The $500 basic service charge may be allocated one-half to logging and one-half to perforating, provided the service charge would have applied to either job if done individually.
Other miscellaneous charges for a multiple service situation may be handled in the same manner. Some of the more common ones include:
- Running in pressure;
- Running in acid;
- Equipment protection charge;
- Mast unit charges;
- Lubricator charges;
- Rental items-flanges, adapters, swages;
- License fees
Mileage/Standby Time
Mileage charges are not taxable since no service is being performed at the well.
Waiting or standby time is not taxable for the same reason.
However, any charge referred to or billed in any manner for equipment hooked to a well or to other equipment hooked to the well while performing a primary taxable service is subject to tax.

Hey guys, I've had my black Nintendo DS Lite with a R4 unit for the past couple of years just hanging out in a case in my drawer in perfect condition. It comes with a 2 GB SD stick that can store about 35-40 DS games on it at a time, and since everybody here is more familiar with stuff like a R4 (lets you use DS backups), I'm wondering if anybody with a PS3 would be interested in doing a trade+money for it?
Got a new TV, so PS3's 3D & Blu Ray would be awesome compared to my DS sitting alone (I just don't play mobile games).

torrid zone
(also Torrid Zone)
The hot central belt of the earth bounded by the tropics of Cancer and Capricorn.
Example sentences
- 'Climates and seasons deteriorate,' the polar and torrid zones and deserts encroached on the temperate lands instead of being reclaimed, and the air was poisoned by miasma.'
- To the extent that torrid zones are a general feature of mammalian genomes, they have considerable implications for genetic mapping strategies in both human populations and mouse crosses.
- Acosta found himself laughing aloud at the Aristotelian doctrine of the torrid zone that was still taught, along with Ptolemy's more accurate views, in colleges back home in Europe.

April 4, 2007
AUGUSTA, Ga. (AP) -- Rory Sabbatini picked the perfect time to get his first hole-in-one.
Sabbatini aced the 115-yard Number 7 in the Par 3 contest this afternoon at Augusta National in a runup to the Masters beginning Thursday. It was one of two holes-in-one, with David Toms getting one on the 142-yard Number 3.
Sabbatini used a pitching wedge. As the ball sailed toward the pin, he said it looked like it was in slow-motion. Finally, it dropped right into the hole.
The best part of all? His wife, Amy, was his caddie.
Toms used a 9-iron and hoped the ace would be a good omen for the rest of the week.
Former champion Mark O'Meara won the Par 3 contest at 5 under par, one stroke ahead of Zach Johnson. A star-studded list of players were at 3 under, including former champions Fred Couples and Ben Crenshaw.
The Par 3 contest has been played since 1960, and has become a Wednesday tradition at the Masters. It's a lighthearted event that brings back past champions and allows current players to have some fun before the real tournament starts. Defending Masters champ Phil Mickelson even brought his daughters along for the afternoon.
But the win might not be the best omen for O'Meara. No Par 3 winner has ever gone on to win the Masters.

"Suspicious Minds" debuted Monday as the first single off "Viva Elvis-The Album," which is being released Nov. 9.
The songs on the album, which were produced and arranged by Erich van Tourneau, use thousands of samples of the Tupelo native's music and voice.
The samples make up the raw material for the Las Vegas show "Viva Elvis" by Cirque du Soleil.
Van Tourneau also incorporated elements like garage rock and hip-hop to spice up the songs.
Other reworked songs on the album include "Blue Suede Shoes," "Burning Love" and "Love Me Tender."
