Business Resources for the State of Idaho
The Idaho Hire One Tax Credit - introduced by the governor and passed during the 2011 legislative session - is a sliding-scale income tax credit for employers. The amount of the credit is based on an employer's unemployment insurance tax rating, the number of new employees hired and the average unemployment rate during the prior year for the county where the job was created and the work performed.
The credit is in effect for employers who hire new employees on or after April 15, 2011, and by March 31, 2013.
Employers qualify for the credit when they pay $12 an hour or more plus benefits for jobs created and performed in counties with an annual average unemployment rate of at least 10 percent and $15 an hour or more plus benefits in counties with lower rates. Applicable county benchmark unemployment rates for 2011 are:
An employer can apply for the credit only after the new employee has worked nine consecutive months - regardless of the years in which those months occur – by Dec. 31, 2013. Qualifying employers will receive a tax credit for the gross wages paid during the first 12 months of employment. The credit is claimed on an income tax return filed by the employer for the tax year during which the new hire became qualified for the credit.
No. This tax credit will only apply to new jobs created and employees hired before April1, 2013, so their nine-month qualifying periods end on or before Dec. 31, 2013 when the credit expires.
If the credit is greater than an employer's state income tax liability, the employer will be refunded the difference.
To qualify, employers must provide group health care coverage that includes hospital, medical and surgical expense coverage and pay at least 80 percent of the premium for single coverage and 70 percent for family coverage. Further details are available from the Idaho State Tax Commission at (208) 334-7660 or (800) 972-7660.
Determining whether an employer actually hired new workers will be based on an employee count for the year the credit is claimed minus A) the employee count for the previous year or B) the average of the employee counts for the three previous years. If the resulting number is higher, a credit is authorized for the difference. If the count is the same or lower, there is no credit.
Employers who pay the qualifying wages and have a positive unemployment insurance tax rating receive a higher credit. Positive-rated employers are eligible for 6 percent of gross wages. Standard-rated employers would receive 4 percent. Negative rated employers receive 2 percent.
Employers are advised of their unemployment insurance experience rating in mid-December of the preceding year through their unemployment insurance tax notices. They are also advised of their rating on the quarterly tax statements sent to employers by the Idaho Department of Labor. This evidence of rating must be included with the employer's tax return for the year the credit is claimed.
Employer questions about specific income tax situations or individual hiring scenarios should be referred to their accountants or the Idaho State Tax Commission at (208) 334-7660 or (800) 972-7660.
Idaho has one other job-related tax credit. The Idaho Business Advantage incentive contains a $1,500 - $3,000 job tax credit that employers can claim based on a minimum investment of $500,000 in new facilities and at least 10 new jobs averaging $40,000 annually, but employers cannot claim both the Idaho Business Advantage Tax and the Hire One Tax Credit for the same employee. The Hire One Tax Credit also replaces a second tax credit – the New Jobs Income Tax Credit.
Analysts estimate the jobs eligible for the tax credit will generate $25.3 million in new tax revenue, which will offset its $7.6 million estimated annual cost to the general fund.
"The increase in unemployment costs has been challenging for everyone, but Hire One gives Idaho companies and the State a chance to work together, put people back to work, and improve Idaho's economy to the benefit of all." -Doug Sayer, CEO-Premier Technology, Blackfoot

Sow Peace International was founded by Dr. Rhoberta Shaler to offer the experiences, insights and expertise she brings to transforming relationships through her many programs based on her concept of Conscious Co-Dwelling™. Intergenix™, Via Placida, Midas Thinking, & Prosperity on Purpose are some of the many programs she has developed to help different groups of people enrich their lives individually and together by seeing through and working through relationships problems and forging new bonds and agreements with themselves, those at home and at work. She says,
"When people think of world peace it is a lofty concept which they are in favor of but have no connection to creating. I believe that peace in THE world begins with peace in MY world and expands from there, one relationship at a time.
The process begins with a conscious desire and commitment to creating peace within myself. That means taking the time to understand who I am right now in my life, and then, aligning my actions and words with my vision, values, beliefs and purpose in the moment. I do my inner work first, reflecting on my life and resolving issues, so that I am free of the past and able to focus on my unique contribution to the world in every way.
Part of that process is healing relationships and releasing ourselves from our inherited, adapted and adopted patterns. These are the things we wrote about in the book I co-authored with G. Charles Andersen, Soul Solitude™: Taking Time for Our Souls to Catch Up. We must free ourselves from the things that create relationship problems because they are, what I have coined, "intertoxic." We don't need to label people. We simply need to understand that, at the current time–and maybe over a lot of years, too–we are experiencing intertoxicity. My work with individuals, couples and families, is to help them release the intertoxic nature of their past family relationships and to create new bonds and agreements that encourage love, joy, trust and peace.
In one of our programs, for example, the great joy of the Intergenix™ Weekend, The Women's Intergenerational Experience, for me is to watch women transform their relationship with themselves, their mothers, daughters and siblings. Both watching and joining in the celebrations that are filled with visible relief, joy and possibilities is the greatest indication I can have that our desire to sow peace is much greater than our desire to maintain and sustain the pain of isolation, separation and mistrust. I hope all women will join in and experience this for themselves."
Sow Peace International has three divisions:
- Individual, couple, family & group sessions, classes and/or mediation
- Seminars onsite and on the telephone
- the work of our affiliated non-profit charity association in Canada
Join us and make it possible for worthwhile projects, such as the Youth Enterprise Network International that we support in Uganda, to proceed. This project currently helps orphaned young men to acquire the skills, and the sense of community, to return to an agriculturally more prosperous way of life. Dr. Shaler is the Chief Business Adviser to this project.

A £30 million contract to build structures for oil fields west of Shetland will secure around 100 jobs, bosses have said.
Work for the BP contract to fabricate 74 subsea structures for Schiehallion and Loyal oil fields will be done at Babcock's plant in Rosyth, Fife.
As part of the project, known as Quad 204, another £6.3 million in sub-contractor investment will be available.
Nearly 400 million barrels of oil have been produced at the fields since production started in 1998 and the work will help extend production to at least 2035, BP said.
Rosyth dockyard is also assembling the Royal Navy's largest-ever warship, HMS Queen Elizabeth.
Mike Pettigrew, managing director of future business for Babcock, said: "Today's announcement is great news for our Rosyth facility and demonstrates our capability to operate within the offshore energy sector.
"While our commitment and focus on the delivery of the Queen Elizabeth-class programme remains unchanged, this project presents us with excellent opportunities to enhance the utilisation of our facilities and resources here on the Forth.
"This is a multi-faceted technical programme which will sustain over 100 positions and provide training and development opportunities here at Rosyth. In addition, we will continue to involve our apprentices in exciting and specialised areas of our operations, strengthening the skills base of our next generation of engineers."
Andrew Train, BP Quad 204 offshore programme director, said: "The Quad 204 project is a major investment in the North Sea for BP and its partners, and this is a key contract for the delivery of the subsea production system.
"We are looking forward to working collaboratively with Babcock and safely delivering high quality and reliable subsea structures which will help to extend the field life of the Schiehallion and Loyal fields."

Walking the Line with Johnny Cash
September 14, 2010
By the Rev. Dr. Ed Hird
During Johnny Cash's nearly fifty years of music, he sold over ninety million albums. He learned to sing while picking cotton as an impoverished sharecropper's son in Kingsland, Arkansas.
Cash recorded more than 1,500 songs including well-known hits like 'A Boy named Sue', 'Folsom Prison Blues' and 'Ring of Fire.' Johnny Cash is the only musician who has ever been threefold-inducted into the Songwriter's, Country Music, and Rock and Roll Halls of Fame."
More than 100 other recording artists and groups have recorded Cash's song "I Walk the Line." Cash commented: "I wrote 'I walk the Line' when I was on the road in Texas in 1956, having a hard time resisting the temptation to be unfaithful to my wife back in Memphis": 'I keep a close watch on this heart of mine. I keep my eyes wide open all the time. I keep the ends out for the tie that binds. Because you're mine, I walk the line.'
Cash's life was often fraught with tragedy and heartbreak. "After my brother Jack's death, said Johnny, "I felt like I'd died, too. I just didn't feel alive. I was terribly lonely without him. I had no other friend." Like his father before him, Johnny struggled for many years with addiction issues. His father was never able to tell his children that he loved them.
Johnny Cash's first marriage ran aground in the midst of workaholism and pill-popping. In Cash' autobiography, he comments: "Touring and drugs were what I did, with the effort involved in drugs mounting steadily as time went by." Amphetamines keep him going without sleep, and barbiturates and alcohol knocked him out. Cash comments: "I was in and out of jails, hospitals, and car wrecks. I was a walking vision of death, and that's exactly how I felt. I was scraping the filthy bottom of the barrel of life."
He knew that he had wasted his life and drifted far from God. In desperation, Cash decided to end his life in 1967 by crawling deep into the inner recesses of Nickajack Cave on the Tennessee River. There in pitch darkness he met God and then miraculously was able to crawl to the opening of the cave. There waiting for him was his future wife June Carter and his mother. That was Cash's turning point in getting serious about battling his addiction.
Cash stayed free of drugs until attacked in 1981 by an ostrich that ripped his stomach open and broke several ribs. While in hospital, he became re-addicted to painkillers. In 1983, his family and friends did an intervention, which included Cash's going to the Betty Ford Clinic. Cash comments: "I'm still absolutely convinced that the intervention was the hand of God working in my life, telling me that I still had a long way to go, a lot left to do. But first I had to humble myself before God."
In the midst of great trauma, Cash found that spiritual music helped bring him back from the despair of his addictions. "Wherever I go, I can start singing one of them and immediately begin to feel peace settle over me as God's grace flows in. They're powerful, those songs. At times they've been my only way back, the only door out of the dark, bad places the black dog calls home." Cash began to find great strength in reading the bible and in prayer. He learned to stop hating himself, and to forgive himself and others.
During this time, Billy Graham became a personal friend and mentor. Billy Graham "was interested, but never judgmental…I've always been able to share my secrets and problems with Billy, and I've benefited greatly from his support and advice. He's never pressed me when I've been in trouble; he's waited for me to reveal myself, and then he's helped me as much as he can."
I thank God for the late Johnny Cash's recovery from serious addiction, and pray that all of us will have the courage to change the things that can be changed.

Market trends have altered the benefits of several annuity products, and Morningstar's Kevin Loffredi examines what retirees should know before investing in these vehicles.
If you actually buy an annuity inside your IRA or Roth IRA, a whole new set of minimum distribution rules applies to that annuity , says noted retirement planner Natalie Choate.
Christine Benz says investors should consider the annuity type, other tax-sheltered vehicles, liquidity needs, and fees.
The addition of a low-cost annuity to a balanced portfolio can help ease some concerns about longevity risk says Vanguard's Maria Bruno.

People in the blogosphere are freaking out because while singing gargling out her song "7 Things" in Louisville, Miley Cyrus appears to change the lyrics from "You're game" to "You're gay."
Listen to the clip: I can't figure out if she's intentionally saying "gay," or if the strangled way she sings just makes the end of the word "game" drop off.
What do you think? Do you think it's wrong if she said "gay?"
Tell 'em, Hilary!

Mervo is definitely improving, but having said that City still beat them by 38 points. They're 13-1 but the best team they beat is Western and I think we all agree that Western is down. Their only possible loss the rest of the way is is NewTown. They don't play Dunbar, Poly, or Digital.
Is Poly really better than City? I guess we'll see in the last game of the year. The winner of that game will probably play Digital for the City championship. City is more athletic and talented, but Poly is better coached by a long ways and they play together as one basketball.
I'll go on record now saying City beats Poly.
And MATHs is definitely top 4 in City.

I didn't know this about Lands' End: The company was launched in 1963, then it started outfitting racing sailors with authentic, quality gear.
Now Lands' End is charting a new course with the debut of a complete new collection for men and women: Lands' End Canvas. According to the press release:
"The line of casual, well-crafted clothing reinterprets authentic American sportswear designed for today's relevant approach to effortless, lived-in style. The collection is rooted in the legendary Lands' End heritage, but oriented towards a modern, timeless style that offers possibility."
Whatever all those flowery superlatives mean!
Maybe the outfits pictured here will illustrate the concept. For more visuals of the whole collection, visit www.landsendcanvas.com. Lands' End Canvas apparel can also be ordered by calling 1-877-877-1963.

Toxic Release Inventory
What is the Toxic Release Inventory?
In 1986, the Emergency Planning and Community Right to Know Act (EPCRA) was enacted. Through EPCRA, Congress mandated that a Toxic Release Inventory (TRI) be made public. Section 313 of EPCRA specifically requires manufacturers and other industry groups (see Who Must Report) to report the chemicals manufactured or used in the identified facilities and the annual amount of these chemicals released and otherwise managed in on- and off-site waste management facilities. Facilities are required to submit reports for more than 650 designated toxic chemicals. The reports are submitted to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) and state governments.
Facilities are required to report releases of toxic chemicals to air, water, and land. In addition, they need to report off-site transfers for treatment or disposal at a separate facility. Facilities are also required to report on pollution prevention activities and chemical recycling. Reports must be submitted on or before July 1st each year and must cover activities that occurred at the facility during the previous calendar year.
Who Must Report?
Section 313 of EPCRA required that reports be filed by owners and operators of facilities that meet all of the following criteria:
Standard Industrial Classification Code (SIC Code)
Originally, TRI reporting requirements were limited to the manufacturing facilities with major SIC code groups 20 through 39. In 1997, USEPA added seven additional industry sectors to the TRI requirements. These sectors started submitting reports for the reporting year 1998.
Number of Employees
The number of full time employees must be 10 (or the equivalent of 20,000 hours of work per year) or more.
Threshold Quantity
Any facility that manufactured or processed more than 25,000 pounds or otherwise used more than 10,000 pounds of a listed toxic chemical during the course of the calendar year is required to submit a report. Starting with the reporting year of 1995, the USEPA introduced an "alternate threshold" for facilities with low total annual reportable amounts. Facilities that have total annual reportable amounts of 500 pounds or less of listed chemicals and do not use annually more than one million pounds are eligible for the alternate threshold option. Eligible facilities have the option of reporting on a simplified two-page short form referred to as Form A and not using the longer Form R. This threshold does not apply to the PBT (persistent, bioaccumulative and toxic) chemicals.
When and Where to Report
Toxic Release Inventory reports are filed every year with USEPA and the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation. The reports submitted by the facilities are due by July 1 for the preceding calendar year. The data from the reports are entered into the USEPA database. After data quality checks, USEPA makes the information available to the public. TRI data and information are made available in a number of ways to assist the widest range of users. TRI Explorer is a searchable online database which lets users quickly get information about releases and transfers and other waste management activities - no database knowledge is required. The annual Public Data Release (PDR) contains fact sheets, trend information, and the State Data Files. The State Data Files are designed to minimize the amount of coding necessary to get release, transfer, waste management and other information on submissions for a specific reporting year. In addition, raw data is available by request on CD. The TRI Data Quality Program describes the activities undertaken by EPA to insure that the data are of the highest possible quality.
Information Collected Under TRI
Facilities report the amounts of toxic chemicals released on-site, the amount of chemicals transferred off-site, production-related waste management information, and facility and chemical identification. The following specific information is required:
- Facility identification information - name, address, TRI facility identification (ID) and location data
- Name and telephone number of contact person
- Environmental permits held
- Amount of each listed chemical (see TRI Chemicals) released to the environment at the facility
- Amount of each chemical sent from the facility to other locations for recycling, energy recovery, treatment, or disposal
- Amount of each chemical recycled, burned for energy or treated at the facility
- Maximum amount of each chemical present on-site at the facility during the year
- Types of activities conducted at the facility involving the toxic chemical
- Source reduction activities
On-site releases are considered to be the amount of TRI chemicals released at the facility (within the facility property limit). Amounts transferred to other sites are not included in this category.
The amount of TRI chemicals released off-site is the amount transferred for disposal off-site. Transfer to Publicly Owned Treatment Works (POTWs) of metal and metal compounds are considered off-site releases. The amount transferred to another TRI facility is excluded from the off-site release category if the receiving facility reports this amount as an on-site release under its TRI report.
TRI Chemicals
There are currently over 650 individually listed TRI chemicals and chemical categories. USEPA added new chemicals in the 1990, 1991, 1994, and 1995 reporting years. USEPA also has delisted (removed from the list) and modified reporting requirements for certain chemicals. For an alphabetical list of current TRI chemicals and chemical categories please refer to the USEPA TRI Chemicals webpage. Reporting facilities are required to use data from monitoring and emission measurements in calculating releases being reported in their TRI reports. When such data are not available, reasonable estimates may be used from published emission factors, material balance calculations, or engineering judgments.
TRI Data Use
TRI information can help to identify the presence of toxic chemicals within communities and can provide ways for the public to work with industries to reduce the hazards associated with these chemicals. TRI data also serve as a tool for measuring toxic chemical uses and releases. TRI data can be used by industry to identify problem areas, establish reduction targets, anticipate costs associated with procurement and disposal of toxic chemicals, and monitor progress of pollution prevention programs. Federal, state, and local governments can use TRI data to evaluate existing environmental programs or to target new environmental initiatives.
In the early years of the TRI program, the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) entered the data received from TRI facilities into its own database. This database was used to prepare the annual Toxic Release Inventory report and was made available to the public. The EPA has also been maintaining a database of TRI submissions and has recently made this available to the public through its website. To avoid duplication of effort, DEC now relies on the EPA database and no longer prepares a state report. Anyone who wishes to review the TRI data for New York should obtain it from the EPA's TRI Explorer website. The EPA's Toxic Release Inventory Public Data Release Report summarizes national TRI data.
TRI Regulatory History
Section 313 of Federal Emergency Planning and Community Right to Know Act (EPCRA), enacted in 1986, requires manufacturing and other facilities meeting the employee criteria (equivalent of 10 full-time employees) to report the chemicals manufactured or used in the facilities under the Toxic Release Inventory. In addition, the annual amounts of these chemicals released and managed in on- and off-site waste programs are reported. Only manufacturing facilities within Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) Codes 20 through 39 were required to submit TRI reports. The reports are submitted to United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) and state government. The reported data are maintained in a publicly available database by USEPA.
The Pollution Prevention Act of 1990 expanded TRI to include additional information on toxic chemicals in waste and on source reduction methods. Beginning in the reporting year 1991, facilities were required to report quantities of TRI chemicals in recycled wastes, wastes combusted for energy recovery and wastes treated on- and off-site.
In 1993, about 30 chemicals, including certain Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) chemicals and certain hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs), were added to the TRI chemical list.
In 1994, EPA added 286 new chemicals and chemical categories to the TRI list. This expansion added more than 150 pesticides and certain chemicals specified under the federal Clean Air Act, Clean Water Act and Safe Drinking Water Act.
In 1997, USEPA added seven sectors to the industries required to submit TRI reports: metal mining, coal mining, electrical utilities that combust coal and/or oil, hazardous waste treatment and disposal facilities, chemical wholesale distributors, petroleum bulk station and terminals, and solvent recovery services.
In 1999, the USEPA published a final rule under section 313 of the Emergency Planning and Community Right to Know Act of 1986 (EPCRA) which lowered the TRI reporting thresholds for persistent, bioaccumulative, and toxic (PBT) chemicals and added seven chemicals and two chemical compounds to the TRI list.
In 2001, USEPA issued a final rule under section 313 of Emergency Planning and Community Right to Know Act (EPCRA) which lowers the TRI reporting thresholds for lead and lead compounds. EPA's TRI website has further information on the rule and a fact sheet on lead.
PBT Chemicals Rule
In 1999, the USEPA published a final rule under section 313 of the Emergency Planning and Community Right to Know Act of 1986 (EPCRA) which lowered the TRI reporting thresholds for persistent, bioaccumulative, and toxic (PBT) chemicals and added seven chemicals and two chemical compounds to the TRI list.
PBT chemicals include substances such as mercury and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) already on the TRI list, and dioxin and dioxin- like chemicals which were among the chemicals added for the 2000 reporting year. The final rule includes lowered reporting thresholds for PBT chemicals and also includes modifications to certain reporting exemptions and requirements for the chemicals newly subject to the lower reporting thresholds. The first required reports under this PBT Chemical Rule were submitted by facilities for the reporting year 2000. Additional information on the PBT chemical rule can be found at: www.epa.gov/tri
The PBT chemicals are of particular concern not only because they remain in the environment for long periods of time and are not readily destroyed (i.e., they are persistent), but they also build up or accumulate in body tissue (i.e., they bioaccumulate). Relatively small releases of PBT chemicals can pose human and environmental health risks. Consequently, these chemicals warrant recognition as potential health threats.
A total of 155 facilities reported PBT releases in reporting year 2000. Of these facilities, 37 did not report under the TRI program in 1999.
2000 NYS TRI Report Summary
According to the most recent TRI data for the reporting year 2000, 737 facilities submitted 2,2505 Form R reports (long form), and 425 Form A reports (short form) in New York State. Of these facilities, 155 reported under a new requirement the release of PBT (persistent, bioaccumulative, and toxic) chemicals. The reported releases from these facilities are summarized as follows:
- Emissions to air: 33.3 million pounds or about 55 percent of the total releases
- Surface water discharges: 8.99 million pounds or about 15 percent of the total releases
- On-site land releases to RCRA Subtitle C Landfills: 5.81 million pounds or about 10 percent of the total releases
- Other on-site land releases: 2.52 million pounds or about 4 percent of the total releases
- Off-site releases (transferred off-site for disposal): 9.96 million pounds or about 16 percent of the total releases
- PBT Chemicals: 557,069 pounds released to air, water and land combined (or less than 1% of the total TRI releases).
The total combined releases from the originally reporting and newly reporting industries decreased from 71.81 million pounds in 1999 to 60.54 million pounds in 2000 - a reduction of 15.7 percent.
- Fugitive air emissions increased from 3.75 million pounds in 1999 to 3.90 million pounds in 2000 - an increase of 3.79 percent.
- Stack air emissions decreased from 32.64 million pounds in 1999 to 29.43 million pounds in 2000 - a reduction of 9.83 percent.
- Surface water discharges decreased from 9.83 million pounds in 1999 to 8.99 million pounds in 2000 - a reduction of 8.55 percent.
- Land releases decreased from 15.63 million pounds in 1999 to 8.33 million pounds in 2000 - a reduction of 46.73 percent. The majority of this reduction was due to the fact that Zinc Corporation of America did not report for zinc releases in 2000 (they did report in 1998 and 1999) due to recent issues with TRI definitions concerning extraction and beneficiation in mining. EPA's response to the National Mining Associates lawsuit is provided on their website.

Park Authority Board
Board Agenda and Package
The Fairfax County Park Authority Board is appointed by the Fairfax County Board of Supervisors. These 12 appointees are comprised of one representative from each of the nine magisterial districts, plus three at-large members. The board sets policy and establishes priorities for the park agency. The board holds public meetings on the second and fourth Wednesdays of the month at 7:30 p.m. at park headquarters in the Herrity Building, adjacent the Government Center Complex.
Park Authority Board Names 2013 Officers
Elections were held in January by the Fairfax County Park Authority Board and its 2013 officers were selected. Board members unanimously approved re-election of Chairman William G. Bouie who will now serve his fifth term in the top spot. Elected Vice Chairman is Dranesville District Representative Kevin J. Fay. Kala Leggett Quintana, an At-large Member of the Park Board will serve as Secretary and Providence District Representative Ken Quincy will serve as Board Treasurer.
The demands on this all-volunteer board have grown over the years, but that has not deterred Chairman Bouie, whose enthusiasm and dedication remain strong. "The challenges of public service are daunting but we are up to the task and proud to be part of this nationally acclaimed organization," said Bouie. He added, "The people in this community love their parks and we are here to ensure that they get the high level of customer service, access to state-of-the-art facilities, and protection of our community's natural and cultural resources that they expect." He remains an active volunteer in the community, as well as a senior telecommunications executive who has represented the Hunter Mill District on the Park Board since 2005. He works with youth sports organizations throughout Northern Virginia, is active with Little League Baseball and is a member of the Board of Wolftrap and the Reston Hospital.

"Drawing everywhere is like traveling all the time. When you go out for a small walk, if you stop and give yourself some time to look around and make a drawing, you can have minutes of total concentration and get a lot of pleasure from ordinary shapes and colours. You can also create your own view and interpretation of the world so that it becomes acessible to others. Sketching is also a way to document and share our lives."

My computer's serial number is 1001 - the first one? It worked ok with Windows XP, but my new laptop was loaded with Vista Business. The software required patches that still doesn't work right, so I use a different computer to load my dive logs. A minor inconvenience that I am sure they'll remedy. The tech department at Oceanic is VERY helpful and for that reason alone I'll stay with Oceanic. One note however, this item comes as a package with the VT-3 Computer, and I had to return the extra USB

Terrible design, I was born with common sense but even this elluded me. I called the tech desk for this site and they walked me through. You'd never guess how the engineer designed this. You'd think he got his degree on line.Duh! And USB is meant to be plug and play-not just for the computer. After I attached it, one of the flimsy male connectors canted sideways and now I have to manuever it with a pinn before I can use it. This product is NOT worth buying.

Expensive but does the job
By Terry Teo

About Me Advanced
See all my reviews
Comments about Oceanic USB Cable for VT4, VT3, Pro Plus 2.1, Veo 180, Veo 250, Veo 2.0 & Veo 3.0:
This little wire is really expensive but it works and I don't know any alternative. Being able to analyse your dives is very useful for many purposes. The Oceanic software that you have to download is mediocre and I'll probably end up using some other software to track my dives when I get around to finding a better one. Physically connecting the cable to the dive computer was not the most intuitive and any instructions would help this process (which after doing once is pretty easy). I have only uploaded data from the dive computer once and it took a couple of tries before it worked. I don't foresee any problems in the future.If you have an Oceanic computer and want to analyse your dives, I don't think you have any choice. The cable is good enough and I'm happy that I bought it.

Does what it is supposed to.
By Matt
from Cincinnati, OH
About Me Casual/ Recreational
I like it. I can download the complete profile of the dive and use the program to record my log. I can graph depth, time to deco, temperature, etc. The interface is pretty good but I have also exported to excel to do custom graphs.It worked with windows 7 32bit but it didn't work with my windows 7 64bit. Could be user error but didn't know how to remedy.
Nice to Have

Cable makes transferring dives fast. The Oceanic program is a little temprimental, but the cable is nice.

Not worth the money...
By Okidiver
from Oklahoma City, OK
I purchased this cable to link up my Oceanic VEO 250 dive computer to my desktop and/or laptops. Needless to say, the Oceanic software is NOT user friendly and the cable is poorly constructed. The pins on the cable to not make proper contact on the dive computer. The pins will bend very easily if the cable is not inserted correctly into the dive computer. Very flimsy design. Oceanic could have used either a mini USB connection or infrared. I would NOT recommend this Oceanic product to anyone. If you are in the market for a decent dive computer and willing to spend the money...I purchased a UWATEC Galileo Sol. Much better technology and computer link up with infrared.
LeasurePro took care of me
By LP
from San Diego
Getting the drivers configured for my 64-bit laptop took a little extra effort and making sure that the USB connection at the dive computer was inserted correctly was very important. the device works well

Assuming the alien visitors indeed were similar enough to us to wear "Gemini spacesuits" (a known point of debate in astrobiology - would an intelligent alien necessarily be a "Star Trek humanoid" or not) they might even have found hairy primates brandishing big sticks at them specifically interesting. Never mind a Cro Magnon or an ancient Egyptian. Given a reasonable tech level and enough time to study Earth they most likely would've found our ancestors out too.
But, as I said earlier, there is still no evidence available that they were. Here, or interested.

The 1st Inuit Circumpolar Youth Symposium on the Inuit Language was a four-day conference during which twenty Inuit youths representing four territories (Canada, Alaska, Greenland, and Russia) arrived in Iqaluit, Nunavut to deliberate on issues surrounding the idea of a common language among all Inuit peoples across the world in order to promote a unified Inuit community. Due to the vast regions that the Inuit call home, representatives from each region discussed issues occurring within their own community, whether it is in Alaska, Canada, Greenland, or Russia.

Imperial Privilege: Vienna Porcelain of Du Paquier, 1718-44:A cup with a saucer that has a raised gallery is called a trembleuse, probably because the gallery prevented the cup from falling when the saucer was held by someone with trembling hands. Trembleuses were used primarily for hot chocolate, which was popular among the affluent Viennese, and were a specialty of Du Paquier.

Jigs And Fixtures Little things that make knifemaking easier - Topic for March 2011

You just have to make sure the bottom side is parallel with the bottom of the legs, and you will get nice perpendicular holes. A thin piece of leather between the handle material and the tightening plate is used if needed.
Hope someone can use the info. Dan

Now, I have a couple of, what I consider basic and essential, devices for knife making.
The first is a file guide. I made this one in a less than 2 hours. There's definitely nicer ones out there but it's functional and it only cost me $2.00 to make it.
I learned about the second device from watching Bill Moran's video "The making of a knife". Is just a bolt that has been sharpened to a point. It's attached to my drill press table directly under the drill bit. For those that are new to drilling out handle material to accommodate a tang, you place one end of your material on the point and the drill bit will then drill directly to the point. Just set the depth of the bit for the length of your tang and you're good to go.
I know that neither is high tech but I couldn't get along without either of them.

Here's another one that is probably the lowest tech fixture that I can think of. It's probably the most used fixture in my shop.
For those that are new to knife making and are limited in space or tools but have a vise, a piece of steel and some vise-grips it is invaluable for filing or sanding on the flats of the blade, or with care, it can be utilized to shape handles.
To use it, just clamp the steel plate horizontally in the vice jaws and then clamp the knife blank to the steel plate with a pair or two of vise-grips. I also use a piece of scrap leather to protect the portion of the blade or handle that is being clamped. This fixture and leather have been in use in my shop for over 11 years now and it's been used on every knife I've made. One of these days I'm going to make or buy one of those fancy knife making vises that can be twisted and turned in any direction, but until then this one gets me by.
Posted 12 March 2011 - 03:05 PM
I figured that it was time for me to get busy and get some of my fixtures added. I have been working on a new page for my web site to display the stuff that I use in my shop. The easiest way for me to add to this thread on fixtures is to just attach the address to my web page. Culver Jigs & Fixtures
I'll be adding more to the page on my site soon. I'll repost to this tread when I have something new on my "Tutorials" page.

Fish is health food favorite, and is often recommended as a great source of lean protein. But there have been some concerns surrounding the safety of fish and fish oil. Nearly every fish contains some level of mercury, a naturally occurring element that can be dangerous in high doses.
So are you risking mercury poisoning by taking fish oil daily? Probably not. According to The Arch Pathol Lab, fish oil may be a safer way to get all the health benefits of fish. Because fish oil is made from fish that don't contain much mercury like herring, tuna, halibut, salmon, mackerel, and cod liver, these supplements contain much less mercury than high risk fish like shark and swordfish.
The Safe Way To Benefit From The Nutrition In Seafood
One study conducted by the Environmental Defense Fund found that all of the different fish oil companies they were able to reach reported that they followed strict purification methods. These methods include steam deodorization and molecular distillation to remove pollutants from the healthy omega-3 fatty acids that compose healthy fish oil. When oils goes through this stringent purification processes, the FDA says that 3 grams of fish oil per day is generally regarded as safe.
The Benefits of Seafood
When it comes to the nutrition in seafood, most of the benefits come from the high amounts of omega-3 fatty acids. These acids reduce swelling, pain, and prevent the blood from clotting too easily. Fish oil is often used to lower blood pressure and has been linked to the prevention of stroke and heart disease when taken correctly. Fish oil has also been linked to brain health, and is often taken for conditions like Alzheimer's, depression, psychosis, and attention deficit-hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).
Every health supplement will have side effects to consider. If you are interested in incorporating the nutrition from seafood into your healthy eating plan using fish oil, the best course of action is to talk to your doctor first.
