Poseidon Concepts Corp. Announces Strong First Quarter Financial and Operating Results and Increases 2012 Guidance
Wednesday, May 09, 2012
Poseidon Concepts Corp. Announces Strong First Quarter Financial and Operating Results and Increases 2012 Guidance20:21 EDT Wednesday, May 09, 2012CALGARY, ALBERTA--(Marketwire - May 9, 2012) -NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO U.S. NEWSWIRE SERVICES OR FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES. ANY FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH THIS RESTRICTION MAY CONSTITUTE A VIOLATION OF U.S. SECURITIES LAWPoseidon Concepts Corp. ("Poseidon" or the "Company") (TSX:PSN) is pleased to announce record quarterly revenue and EBITDA driven by continued growth in customer demand during the three months ended March 31, 2012. The Company is also pleased to provide an operational update and to announce an increase in forecast 2012 EBITDA and tank fleet growth.Based on continued robust spot-market demand and a steady pipeline of long-term contracts, the Company plans to increase the tank fleet to 500 units by September 30, 2012, compared to 400 units previously forecast for June 30, 2012. Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) are now estimated at $210 million for 2012, compared to $170 million under previous guidance and $130 million under original guidance. The 2012 capital budget remains at $60 million."We continue to foresee an active and successful year of growth in our core business and are continuing to build to meet demand," said Lyle Michaluk, Poseidon's Chief Executive Officer. "In addition, new product development remains a high priority, with time and resources being devoted to this initiative."Poseidon's interim consolidated financial statements and notes thereto, as well as the related management's discussion and analysis for the three months ended March 31, 2012, were filed today on SEDAR and are available at www.sedar.com and on the Company's website at www.poseidonconcepts.com.Financial HighlightsThree months ended Three months ended(in thousands except per share amounts)March 31, 2012March 31, 2011Revenue$52,129$11,327EBITDA (1)43,703 8,838Per basic share0.55 0.16Per diluted share0.55 0.16Net income from continuing operations29,639 6,281Per basic share0.38 0.11Per diluted share0.37 0.11Net working capital surplus (debt) (end of period)$54,575$(50,760)Weighted average shares outstandingBasic78,836 54,637Diluted79,770 55,912(1)EBITDA is calculated as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, and stock-based compensation.Corporate HighlightsIn the three months ended March 31, 2012, Poseidon:Had EBITDA of $43.7 million ($0.55 per diluted share), an increase of 394 percent from the first quarter of 2011 and 54 percent from the fourth quarter of 2011; Had net income of $29.6 million ($0.37 per diluted share), an increase of 372 percent from the first quarter of 2011 and 50 percent from the fourth quarter of 2011; Had revenue of $52.1 million, an increase of 360 percent from the first quarter of 2011 and 54 percent from the fourth quarter of 2011; Conducted a bought-deal equity financing that closed on February 2, issuing 6.3 million common shares for gross proceeds of $82.5 million; Paid monthly dividends for January, February and March at a rate of $0.09 per share; Achieved growth in the tank fleet to 340 units by the end of March; and Exited the first quarter with zero net debt and a working capital surplus of $54.6 million. Subsequent to the end of the quarter, Poseidon:Paid a monthly dividend for April at a rate of $0.09 per share; Increased 2012 guidance, as discussed below; and Initiated the renewal of minimum commitment contracts first signed one year earlier, under similar terms and pricing, and continued to sign new minimum commitment contracts with several large independent and major producers. MESSAGE TO SHAREHOLDERSWe are pleased to report another highly successful quarter for Poseidon as the Company extended its track record of meeting its customers' needs for fluid handling solutions, growing its tank fleet and expanding into new geographical areas while increasing penetration of existing markets. Poseidon's monthly dividend of $0.09 per share continued to be paid to shareholders in each of January, February and March, and the dividends of $0.09 per share for the next three months were announced subsequent to the end of the quarter. Quarterly financial results exceeded our internal forecasts and, combined with a continued positive outlook, provided the confidence to increase 2012 guidance.During and subsequent to the quarter, large customers continued to integrate their use of the Poseidon fluid handling system and we began negotiating successful renewals of the initial one-year contracts signed in 2011. The Company also advanced organizational development. We added key personnel, increased information technology capabilities to handle a rapidly growing volume of business and began to apply the Poseidon system outside our core energy industry market. Most importantly, our team worked diligently on developing new products aimed at realizing our vision of being a vertically integrated provider of fluid management solutions. First Quarter 2012 Financial ResultsIn the three months ended March 31, 2012, the Company continued to deliver growth in revenue, funds from operations, EBITDA and net income, setting new quarterly records in all four categories. First-quarter EBITDA of $43.7 million was up by 54 percent over the fourth quarter of 2011 and by 394 percent over the first quarter of 2011. These record results reflect the growth and robust utilization of Poseidon's fracturing fluid tank fleet.In the first quarter Poseidon closed a bought-deal equity financing for net proceeds of $78.4 million which eliminated the Company's debt and provided working capital for the accelerated capital program of approximately seven new tanks per week. Poseidon exited the first quarter with a strong working capital position to continue funding the tank fleet's expansion and other corporate initiatives for the foreseeable future. Business and Operating Conditions We passed another operational milestone in the first quarter with the safe and successful deployment of our 1,500th job. Mid-way through the second quarter, we are approaching 2,000 safely executed jobs across North America. Poseidon is quickly gaining a customer reputation for excellent execution and safety, and we believe we are establishing a brand built on customer satisfaction, cost-effectiveness, innovation and integrity. We often mention the ongoing goal of levering our first-mover advantage, and this strengthening brand image is among the positive results.Poseidon is active in the large majority of North America's unconventional oil and liquids-rich natural gas plays. Activity in Western Canada continues to grow although this market is characterized more by stability than rapid expansion. Growth in the United States remains dramatic and features a combination of increased penetration in existing plays and entry into adjoining plays as well as new regions. We are now working in 17 U.S. states, with recent growth in the southern states being particularly strong. During this period we have added some large, high-quality customers who are generating repeat business and can account for up to 10 percent of the tank fleet rented at a time. Central storage continues to have a significant impact on our business, with several large customers recently adding central storage as a key component of their fluid management.On a commodity basis, approximately 80 percent of Poseidon's work is in oil plays, reflecting the energy sector's commodity price-driven focus and the advantage of our products in mobility and suitability to any type of well where significant fracturing operations are required. In the first quarter we rolled out the Neptune™ model, our smallest tank to date with capacity of 4,500 barrels. It is serving important market niches, including oil plays involving smaller fractures, as a buffer tank to stage fluids between larger tanks, and as a holding vessel on treatment and recycling projects. In early April we introduced our fifth tank model, the Odyssey™. Its capacity of 26,500 barrels provides an upper-mid-sized option between the original Poseidon model and our largest model, the Atlantis, and there are already multiple Odyssey tanks deployed in various unconventional plays. The roll-out reflects Poseidon's practice of listening to our customers' needs and broadening our service offering accordingly.Despite decade-low natural gas prices, in the last several months we have seen demand growth in various natural gas plays. Although this seems paradoxical, it demonstrates that Poseidon is a new alternative to an existing service requirement and there is ample growth opportunity even in a cyclically declining market. The improved efficiencies and lower costs offered by Poseidon provide further incentive for cost-conscious gas producers to utilize our product and also positions us to lever off a future rebound in natural gas prices.Market AssessmentThe Poseidon approach continues to prove itself as an operationally, economically, and environmentally efficient alternative to traditional fluid storage and handling methods. We continue to use our first-mover advantage to remain ahead of potential competitors, with our service-first culture, leading HS&E standards, multi-basin critical mass and safety track record. These strengths are clearly resonating with our large and growing customer base.We're frequently asked about the threat to our business posed by competition. The most important thing for our shareholders to remember is that Poseidon is the new, competitive alternative to traditional methods that work but are challenged in this new era of increased environmental scrutiny and fracturing service intensity. Lined pits, for example, historically used for the largest fracturing jobs, have many environmental and operational drawbacks, and are increasingly frowned upon by regulators. The Poseidon approach is increasingly displacing lined pits. Poseidon is also a competitive substitute to the thousands of 400 and 500-barrel steel tanks that have been in service throughout North America for several decades. The Poseidon system is very cost-competitive and has many operational advantages including a smaller carbon footprint, vastly more efficient transport, faster setup and superior heat retention. There is also a fragmented assortment of other above-ground storage alternatives, which in our estimation make up less than five percent of the current fracturing fluid storage market. Important to note is that, to the extent that they provide advantages over traditional storage methods, they primarily represent competition to those higher-cost or less efficient systems. The combined market penetration of all the alternative systems, Poseidon included, is still only a fraction of the overall market potential.Poseidon continues to offer significant savings over the traditional steel tanks and an environmentally-friendly alternative to lined pits. We continue to see robust demand for our products and services. With or without competition, we believe that our business model is sustainable over the longer-term thanks to the inherent advantages over the incumbent methods and the fact that being a rental business with relatively low fixed costs and basic physical infrastructure requirements can help us maintain a high level of free cash flow. Among Poseidon's multiple competitive advantages are having a soundly-designed and patented modular tank combined with a premium service offering that fulfills the needs of quality and safety-conscious customers.Our rental pricing has remained steady despite current natural gas prices as producers look to us as a cost-effective solution. We have also recently come through our first round of annual minimum commitment contract renewals. We have been very pleased to see satisfied customers renewing at similar terms to last year and, frequently, with a larger number of tanks committed. We are continuing to work on developing additional long-term relationships, focusing especially on locking-in one year or longer commitments under master service agreements. Organizational and New Product DevelopmentAs the emerging leader in providing fluid storage solutions across multiple plays to North America's largest energy producers, Poseidon continues to bolster its technical team so that it can continue to provide its customers with industry-leading expertise in fluid storage, handling and logistics. With that, Poseidon is happy to announce the appointment of Angus Jenkins as Vice President, Operations. A professional engineer, Mr. Jenkins has experience in well completions and project management and will focus Poseidon's operations team on providing technical answers to our customers seeking complete fluid handling solutions, including central storage systems with ancillary services.We are also pleased to announce the promotion of Joe Kostelecky, currently Senior Vice President, United States Operations, to Executive Vice President. Mr. Kostelecky has been instrumental in Poseidon's dramatic penetration of multiple producing basins across the U.S. His new title reflects this profound contribution and his role as a key member of Poseidon's executive leadership team, as well as an expanded role that will include leading the expansion of Poseidon's business development efforts in all addressable markets. We are also continuing to develop new products and services that lever our market presence and provide value-added functionality to our customers, who are expressing their needs as they relate to the E&P fluid cycle. Our goal is to develop new products that are innovative, add value, fall within the fluid handling space, create vertical integration for Poseidon and increase our customers' operating efficiency. For competitive reasons we are not providing further details, but will update the market as these new products and services become material.Further, we are conducting initial fluid handling operations in new scenarios outside our core North American oil and natural gas business. These activities are beginning to generate revenue and EBITDA. For the same competitive reasons, we will update the markets when our presence is more firmly established. We continue to dedicate technical and business development resources to both programs, which we see as holding long-term promise.OutlookPoseidon has a positive outlook for the remainder of 2012. To date in the second quarter we are busier in Canada than in the second quarter of 2011, suggesting a shorter spring break-up and reflecting business from customers that are able to work through spring break-up. The major growth opportunity clearly continues to be the United States, which is our primary business development focus. Several major new customers have been secured in the last few months, with the full potential revenue impact to be felt in the following quarters.The Company's priorities for the second half of 2012 are to:Continue fleet expansion to meet customer demand, maintaining a build rate of approximately seven tanks per week; Advance new product development to the operational and commercial stages, with a priority on deployment to strategic key customers; Continue the initial steps in introducing the Poseidon fluid-handling solution to scenarios other than oil and natural gas well completions and assess the market potential of these new areas and applications; and Following capital allocation to fleet expansion and new product development, assess Poseidon's ability to achieve its longer-term goal to be a dividend growth company. GuidanceWith construction outpacing previous assumptions, driven by continuing growth in demand, Poseidon increases its 2012 guidance to:EBITDA of $210 million, an upward revision from the $170 million forecast in January 2012 and from original guidance of $130 million in September 2011; and Growth in the tank fleet to 500 units by September 30, 2012. Visibility for industry activity, customer demand, fleet size and revenue in the core well completions tank rental business is good through year-end 2012. While we have not articulated growth plans for the fourth quarter of 2012, Poseidon expects a continued strong pace of expansion in the tank fleet due to further geographical diversification, market penetration and customer integration. In addition, the Company continues to formulate capital plans around its new product development and other forms of expansion. Accordingly, the Company expects to provide a refined forecast incorporating anticipated fourth-quarter 2012 activity levels at a later date. POSEIDON CONCEPTS CORP.

Social Gaming Network, a major distributor of games on Facebook and other social networks, has added Bezos Expeditions, Jeff Bezos' investment vehicle, to its investor roles. The news comes just two months after the Palo Alto-based SGN announced its big, $15 million first round from investors Greylock Partners, the Founders Fund, Columbia Partners, and Novak Biddle Venture Partners. Terms of this investment were not disclosed. Bezos Expeditions also recently invested in Kongregate, a game community and distribution platform with plans to do more on Facebook. More prominently, the firm recently invested in Twitter. SGN is a little vague on what it plans to do with the funding, though it could hoover up some smaller players in the space. In April it acquired small developer Esgut.

Last night's game, like all games going forward, are must-wins for the Yankees. And at certain points it seemed like a turn-back-the-clock type of affair.ÂÂÂВ
Clemens had moments when he was sharp. Or maybe he was just stingy – the final tally showed him throwing 98 pitches, walking 5, hitting Dustin Pedroia (more on this guy below) and giving up a monstrous homerun to David Ortiz.
But it was Kyle Farnsworth's antics once again that partially ruined the night.ÂÂÂВ
Spotted a 4-1 lead, Farnsworth arrived in the 8th inning and promptly served up a 2-run shot to Kevin Youkilis that brought the BoSox back. This caused me to stand up and scream at the television, leaping off the couch onto my wife's big toe.
Of course, this created a game-delay, what with her clutching her foot and howling, and me only two seconds into my conniption. And even after I reminded her of Farnsworth's bastard maneuvers late in the game that had led to prior conniptions (though no broken toes), she still insisted that if I was going to act like a child, then I shouldn't watch baseball.
"But I'm not to blame," I calmly explained. "It was Farnsworth again."
"It might be broken!"
"You remember Farnsworth – remember how much I told you we hate him."
"Oh my gawd! It really hurts!"
"He's the guy that ruins games for us – you really don't remember? That surprises me, you usually have such a good memory."
Sure, Farnsworth has been better since phenom Joba Chamberlain arrived, scaring him into thinking he might lose his job. And I agree – Joba cannot throw every inning. But the thing is – I always HEAR about how well Farnsworth pitched, I never SEE it with my own eyes.
At any rate, Kyle, add that to your line last night – 0.2 innings pitched, 2 hits, a walk, 2 earned runs, and one (possibly) broken big toe. And right in the middle of a pennant race. Attaboy Kyle!
The Red Sox lineup is nothing to fear without Manny Ramirez, who was out with a sore back. When I learned prior to the game that he would be sitting this one out, I was instantly more confident. From my perspective, he turns that team into champions. But without him, it's just 9 guys I don't like. I take that back, make that 8 guys. I like Dustin Pedroia.ÂÂÂВ
I'd never seen Pedroia before last night. Or maybe I did and I just don't remember. But he plays every minute like it's his last game, and I have to admit – I kind of admire that even if he's dressed as the enemy. It's a guy like that that makes Yankee fans fear the Red Sox potential. At any rate, from here on out, the Yanks cannot be hoping to settle for 2 of 3 in any series.
As for the big toe, things were quiet in the apartment this morning. Of course, she was limping around, really doing it up, reminding me that even if bastard Farnsworth initiated it, I was still the henchman that carried out the hit. But you know what – she was a trooper. She didn't use crutches, she didn't ask to be carried to her car, she just got ready for work and headed on down the road.
"Way to take one for the team last night, honey," I said, slapping her on the butt. "We need to see more of that around the apartment. This is a pennant race you know."
I respect any Yankees fan who likes Dustin Pedroia. He's the man. He just needs to go back to dominating against the Yankees like he did in the series at Fenway earlier this year.

Only five days remain until the Minnesota Legislature must adjourn, and Democrats still have not agreed on how much they'll be increasing taxes. Senate Republican Minority Leader David Hann is worried about rushing through legislation that affects all Minnesotans, while Democratic leaders say that movement is being made on the budget, and offers have been exchanged. A top-bracket income tax increase plus a temporary surcharge on high earners remain on the table, as does a cigarette tax increase, but negotiators have not agreed on amounts. There will also be some expansion of the sales tax to business activities, but not to clothing. The House has also pushed for an increase in the alcohol tax, but negotiators say that it is currently "not in the mix."
No Agreement On Tax Increases

Cook pasta in boiling water until al dente. While pasta is cooking, in a 12-inch nonstick skillet cook zest and garlic in oil over moderate heat, stirring, until garlic is golden and remove skillet from heat. Add greens to garlic mixture with salt and pepper to taste, tossing with tongs until greens are wilted. Reserve 1/2 cup pasta cooking water and drain pasta in a colander. Add hot pasta and 1/4 cup reserved pasta cooking water to greens and cook over moderately low heat, tossing until combined well. If mixture is too dry, stir in more pasta cooking water.

Definition of "hard takeoff" (noun) from Transhumanist Wiki:
The Singularity scenario in which a mind makes the transition from prehuman or human-equivalent intelligence to strong transhumanity or superintelligence over the course of days or hours (Yudkowsky 2001). The high likelihood of a hard takeoff once a roughly human-equivalent AI is created has been argued by the Singularity Institute in Yudkowsky 2003.

Relationships are like getting a manageable hairstyle – both involve a fair amount or trial and error and, if expectations are not expressed at the onset, one can come out looking like he got into battle with a pair of scissors and lost. Cut to the chase with today's Groupon for hair wash, haircut, blow dry, eyebrow and upper lip threading, and nail polish application for fingers and toes for AED 199 instead of AED 450 at Azela Spa Center.
Azela Spa Center is the best place to get anyone ready for a raid into the relationships battle or simply for life. With this deal, Groupon holders get their crowning glory washed, cut, and blown dry to protect their heads from arrows mysteriously materializing from the sky. They also get their faces smoothened for less friction with incoming glares from a scorned ex-love, and then their talons are buffed and polished by experienced nail-smiths. The salon uses L'Oreal products for definite victory. Groupon holders can also be rest assured that their war vehicles are safe with the salon's valet parking.

Tip leads to break in 1973 Old Courthouse slaying
Local officer says he's '100 percent sure' he knows who killed Anne Kline
Copyright Evansville Courier & Press
An Evansville Police Department detective says he is "100 percent sure" he knows who brutally murdered a 26-year-old teacher in a basement alcove of the Old Courthouse 35 years ago this month.
The slaying of Newburgh resident Ann Kline, a math teacher at Lockyear Business College, on the dark, rainy afternoon of Jan. 18, 1973, is one of the city's coldest homicide cases on file.
But detective Tony Mayhew thinks he now has enough evidence to get an indictment in the case.
Mayhew developed a suspect after receiving an anonymous phone call in 2005.
Mayhew traveled to Texas to interview the suspect and became convinced that person is responsible for Kline's death.
"I think there is enough information to get an indictment for murder," Mayhew said. "I hope other witnesses will come forward to strengthen the case."
The 42-year-old detective said he hopes to give his case file to the Vanderburgh County prosecutor's office by the end of March. The suspect, he added, is an Evansville native.
He would not reveal the names of the suspect or the person who made the anonymous call to police on Labor Day 2005. Neither would he confirm their gender.
"We're still in the fact-finding stages. We don't want to give too much of the case away," Mayhew said.
Kline's body was found in a pool of blood just a short distance from her makeshift classroom.
She had been stabbed 19 times. Her aorta was severed, and she bled to death within seconds.
Lockyear College was holding some classes in the Old Courthouse because of a fire earlier that month at the school's regular building nearby.
"The suspect was in one of Mrs. Kline's classes," Mayhew said. "It's possible that the suspect brought two small children to school that day, and it could be that the killing was committed in front of them. This was definitely a crime of passion."
Kline's wedding ring and watch were still on the body, which ruled out robbery.
The murder weapon wasn't found, but Mayhew believes it was a double-edged knife.
Despite thousands of man-hours by detectives chasing hundreds of leads, no one was arrested in connection with the crime. No motive was established. Kline was not sexually molested.
Mayhew says he knows from Lockyear records that the suspect left school and the city not long after the murder.
"The witness (caller) and the suspect were talking one day in a living room," Mayhew went on. "The suspect said, 'This is what I did back in 1973.' It was like, we're close, so let's share."
The detective said the suspect, who is about 60 years old, lives in the San Antonio area. At no time during a videotaped interview with Mayhew did the suspect admit to killing Kline, he said.
"The witness (caller) had never been to Evansville, but gave statements about the crime scene that raised our interest level. I came away from the initial phone call thinking this could be a legitimate tip," he said.
Mayhew said he interviewed the suspect for "several hours," first at a Texas residence and then at a nearby police station. Vials of blood and hair samples were taken from the suspect for DNA testing.
"The suspect got very angry when confronted about what happened. The suspect made some statements that were inconsistent with the facts of the case, and that made me believe even more that this is the right person," he said.
Mayhew believes the suspect told other acquaintances about the Evansville murder and hopes they will come forward.
"Why go so slow on this case? You only get one shot at taking a case to trial. What if down the road you find more evidence to make the case stronger?" he said. "It's better to take it step-by-step."
Adding to Mayhew's belief that he's on the right track, the caller claimed to be threatened by the suspect shortly after the interview.
He doesn't think the suspect is a flight risk, pointing out the suspect has a house and family around San Antonio.
The detective said he sorted through "thousands upon thousands" of documents pertaining to the case.
"It's made me think that for the rest of my career I'll pick one old case to work on. With DNA and other technology, it's possible that some of them can be solved."

Subject: Sandhyaa Vandhanam : Part II Srimath 46th pattam Azhagiya Singar aruL mozhikaL
From: VS <firstname.lastname@example.com>
Date: 2010-08-21 12:47:02
Dear AastikAs :
In the previous article , we discussed the preliminaries about sandhyaa vandhanam . Today ,we will study the meanings of the
AapOhishDaa mantram and its meaning . This mantram is used for Maanasa snAnam . In all Vaidhika Kaaryams , the full phalan is realized , when the meanings of the Veda mantrams are realized .When one does a karmaa with the awareness of the meanings of that mantraa , then the phalans are powerful and full of veeryam . The pramANa slOkam is:
yadhEva vidhyayaa akrOti tadhEva veeryavattaram bhavati iti
arthajn~a ith sakalam bhadhramaSnutE sa naakamEti jn~Ana vidhUtapApmaa
(Meaning): The vaidhika karmAs done with the understanding of the appropriate Veda mantrams have more potency. When done this way , the Mantrams shower auspiciousness. The performer is removed from all sins and attains svargam .
One should not initiate any one without teaching Rishi , Chandas, dEvatai and vinyOgam . NO one should recite it too . One accrues a lot of sins if he does not follow this rule. Yajn~avalkyaa says that the performer of the karmaaa without knowledge of the mantrams des not gainthe full phalans of the mantra japamanushtAnam with awareness of the meanings of the Mantrams yields karma phalans.
When one does prOkshaNam ( sprinkling ) with AapOhishtA mantrams , one should not sprinkle with huge amounts of water .That huge quantity of water should not fall on the floor. Pitrus and devatAs do not welcome that . The consecrated , sprinkled water should stay on the head and not fall on the unclean areas . When performing sandhyaa standing in a flowing river or PuNya teertam , the vessel holding the water in earthern, copper, gold , silver or wood is to be preferred . If they are not available , then water can be held in left palm and used for ProKshaNam .
AapOhishtaa Mantram :
1)AapOhishtaa mayO bhuva: = Oh waters ! You act as creators of sukham ! ( maya means sukham).
2)taana UrjE dadhAtana = Oh teetams of this reputation ! Please grant us the foods ! (Urjam means annam).
3)mahEraNAya chakshasE = please grant us lofty and most enjoyable Jn~Anam !
4)yO vaSSivatamOrama: =are there rasams ( essences) that can grasp your wonderous sukhams arising from the tongue ?
( ungaLyudaya sukhAdhisayatthirkku kaaraNamAhiya naakinAl grahikkak-koodiya rasamunDO?).
5)tasya iha bhAjayata= Please gain that rasa pravAham (flow) in this world !
How could that be attained ?
6)uSateeriva maatara:= just like the affectionate mothers give the breast milk to their children ,please grant us your nectarine flow ( amruta rasam kodungaL).
7)tasmaa arangamAmava:= May we gain that amruta rasam as much as we need !
8)yasya kshayAya jinvatha = Oh Waters! similar to that amruta rasam that you use to bless our houses to please our residences ,
9) AapO janayathaachana:= May we attain the amruta rasams that generate children by us throughthe prOkshaNam of the consecrated waters !
he AapOhishtaa mantram has 9 paadhams incorporated inside it . Sage VyAsar says that one is releved of Mahaa paatakams like Brahma hatti dhOsham . The proKshaNam with these mantrams converts the waters into sarva dEvatAs and those devatAs cleanse the external limbs of the sandhyaa performer.
For this mantra snAna mantram, sindhu dhvepa rishi, devi Gaayatri chandas and AapO devataa are invoked . PrOkshaNa viniyOgam is Aapaam prakOshana viniyOgam .
( To be continued )
DhAsan , V.Sadagopan
P.S : The internal organs are cleansed with the Sooryasccha Mantrams . This will follow

Foodies traditionally drool over gourmet fare in the South of France, but for Hollywood cupcake JENNIFER LAWRENCE, it was like suffering through "The Hunger Games" all over again!
The Oscar winner, attending the Cannes Film Festival, groused to co-stars LIAM HEMSWORTH and SAM CLAFIN that she just couldn't stomach rich French cuisine.
"I'm starving!" she whined. "I need some real food."
Finally fed up, so to speak, Jennifer enlisted a pal who's fluent in French to limo with her to a nearby McDonald's.
"The girls arrived just as the place was about to close," said a source, "but they snared an order of two Big Macs, lots of French (you'll pardon the expression!) fries – and half a dozen cheeseburgers. Jennifer said she'd keep whatever was left over in her fridge for later."
But by the time she got back to her hotel, just minutes away, she'd already scarfed down one Big Mac, plus half her fries.
"I'm just getting started," Jen giggled as she emerged from the limo stuffing fries in her face.

The right-wing think-tank Policy Exchange holds events in what it calls an 'ideas space'. The name conjures up the plush, free-wheeling, bare-foot wonk-ing that was so mercilessly pilloried by the last series of 'The Thick of It.'
So it's rather disappointing that the venue is, in fact, a threadbare room painted in tired white gloss and equipped with hard blue chairs on hard blue carpet.
Health secretary Jeremy Hunt was at the ideas space on Wednesday evening to outline plans for a paperless NHS that had been trailed earlier in the day.
It felt like an appropriate setting. Hunt has a grand vision – electronic records and electronic communications across health and social care by 2018 - but he has little beyond encouragement to offer those organisations that want to realise it.
There is certainly no money. Hunt wasn't asked whether there was funding available for his plans during an extensive Q&A, so eHealth Insider asked one of his aides whether any would be found.
"No. Oh God. Do you mean central money? No, not a thing," was the response. Well, there might be some cash – such as the £140m that the prime minister found for better IT for nurses back in October – but substantially "this is going to be local investment to save."
Mr and Mr Smith
There are many reasons to invest in electronic records and communications, and Hunt touched on the convenience, choice, and safety arguments in his speech.
But his big pitch to NHS managers was that investing in technology could help their organisations to deliver the efficiency savings that are being demanded of them as the health service tries to balance flat funding with rising demand.
To underline the point, he opened his speech by telling a story about "two Mr Smiths" who sat next to each other on a flight from LA to New York in 1953.
One ran American Airlines, one ran IBM, and the result of their meeting was the booking system that revolutionised the industry and made mass flying possible because travel agents – and eventually passengers – could cheaply book tickets themselves.
"Think what would have happened if one of those Mr Smith's had worked for the NHS," Hunt joked. "The revolution that has touched so much of our lives has barely started to touch the health service."
Hunt went on to outline some well-known examples of where IT is being used to good effect. For example, he said King's College Hospital in London is "on track" to become paperless by the end of the year, having rolled out e-prescribing.
And he name-checked South London and Maudsley NHS Foundation Trust's 'myhealthlocker' project to create patient held records on Microsoft Health Vault.
Overall, though, he argued that the NHS needed to go faster, which was why he had decided to set out "a new ambition for the NHS." "I want it to be paperless by 2018," he said, "the most digital health service in the world."
Familiar vision, new deadlines
Along the way, the NHS should hit other milestones. The NHS Commissioning Board has just agreed that hospitals "should be ready to operate electronic records by 2014" and to accept e-referrals by 2015.
The board is "working on guidance to help local hospitals to do this." As previously announced, patients should have online access to their GP records by 2015, with others to follow.
To pull things together, "by 2013-14, the NHS Number will become the primary identifier for NHS patients, so records can be related to that person."
Making the NHS Number the primary identifier for NHS patients has been a government ambition for so long that targets for achieving it predate the National Programme for IT in the NHS.
In other respects, Hunt was very clear that while his vision is very similar to that outlined before the programme was launched a decade ago, he will not be trying to emulate its methods.
There will be no national contracts, no national database of patient records. "It may be said that we have been here before," he said, "and that Labour tried this and failed.
"Labour had the right idea, but their programme became the equivalent of ordering an aircraft carrier; it became over-centralised and impossible to manage. It is local initiative that works."
No cash
If Hunt's vision is to be realised, then local initiative will have to work, because of that lack of central funding. The days of central contracts for 'strategic' IT systems and implementation worth £12.7 billion are long-gone.
Instead, trusts will be encouraged to invest in technology in order to make savings elsewhere. In his speech, Hunt repeatedly referred to a report from PriceWaterHouseCoopers that the DH released on Wednesday morning.
The consultant's report, conducted in just a few weeks and based entirely on desk research and interviews with PwC staff, contends that around £1.7 billion of recurring savings can be found from four 'priority activities'.
One of these, implementing e-prescribing and the Electronic Transfer of Prescriptions Service, is business left over from the national programme.
And another, making patient information available to clinicians at the point of care, is effectively the business of the programme; even if the PwC report talks about doing this by using "portals" or "other solutions."
Even if these can be completed without the cash that the programme had available to it, realising savings may not be that easy.
A recent report on America's massive, seven year investment in electronic patient records concluded that few of the $81 billion of annual savings that the RAND Corporation predicted have been realised to date.
The Health Affairs report concluded that this is because US institutions have chosen systems that are not interoperable and failed to re-engineer their processes to make the best use of the technology they are adopting.
Given that the US programme was far more directed and linked to payments for 'meaningful use' than anything that is now being proposed for England, it is far from clear how these problems may be overcome.
PwC's other big idea for the NHS to make recurring savings is for it to fall into line with the government's wider 'digital first' strategy. And even PwC admits that a review of digital first has "stressed the difficulty of accessing these benefits."
So, as Hunt acknowledged in the ideas space, the latest target to digitise the NHS represents "huge ambition" but also presents "huge challenges" – without even considering other issues that his speech touched on, such as security, confidentiality, and simple staff reluctance to spend time using screens.
Questions from Hunt's audience suggested that it was sceptical that these challenges can be overcome; but then, Policy Exchange's constituency is people who believe that business will always do things better than public service and the best way to get change is to turn users into consumers.
Hunt was having none of this. Perhaps surprisingly, given his popular image as a right-winger even within the present government, he made a number of references to the social value of the NHS, and to the effective, efficient and equitable way that it deals with most patients, at least elective ones.
The NHS, he suggested, could adopt IT to "help it deliver services sustainably." It just needs to understand that it must.
The way forwardtimbenson 127 weeks ago
JacquesOuze is right to point out that we risk the tragedy of the commons (again). The obvious solution is to reward interoperability by paying for information flow (e.g. per transaction), not for systems with isolated functionality.
Detailed functional specifications ossify progress. Witness the GP systems Requirements for Accreditation (RFA99) - the 99 stands for 1999, which says it all!

Man with no planJacquesOuze 127 weeks ago
There's a kind of inverted tragedy of the commons going on here that Mr Hunt seems oblivious to. In the classic tragedy, benefits are individual and disbenefits shared collectively, leading to a vicious cycle of exploitation and collective ruin.
Here, (arguable) collective benefits can only be gained by organisations uniformly making decisions to invest and work to standards, irrespective of their narrow self interests. The NHS does not have much of a track record of recognising and prioritising collective benefits, and given the other pressures on organisations, it's seems even less likely to be the case now.
In spite of this, Mr Hunt seems to have no plan other than mild exhortation to 'do the right thing' and a bucket load of wishful thinking from PWC to turn his vision into reality. Perhaps he's put it in his letter to Santa for Christmas 2018 and is hoping that Sir David Nicholson will do the honours with the red suit and white beard?

I'm having some problems passing an integer array to an MVC controller.
I'm grabbing my values as follows:
$checkedItems = $(':checked');
My ajax post is formatted like this:

traditional: true,
data: { checkedRecords: $checkedItems, deletionReason: reason, deletionDescription: description },
error: function (xhr, ajaxOptions, thrownError) {
alert('An error occured when processing this request:\r\n\r\n' + thrownError);
My controller is receiving the data like this. The only missing value is the int[]
public ActionResult MarkUnsuitable(int[] checkedRecords, int? deletionReason, string deletionDescription)
Could anybody assist me with this problem?

"We don't know where the original crime was committed. That's a big piece of the puzzle," the sergeant said.
Also missing is Fiore's Mercedes.
"We're trying to concentrate on finding her missing Mercedes registered to her," Kohanek said.
Finding Jenkins body hanging in a motel room did not ease the pain or anger for Fiore's mother.
"It's a relief to know that this man is not out there with the possibility of causing harm to other people," Lisa Lepore, Fiore's mother, said of her former son-in-law. "That was a dangerous person. And now we don't have to worry about him, but I feel like he was a coward. He took the easy way out. He didn't want to face the consequences of his actions."
Rackauckas told "GMA" that the Royal Canadian Mounted Police will continue to investigate, but his office is "very confident that we know who the killer is. All of the evidence points to Ryan Jenkins without any question. He's the killer here, he's the sole perpetrator of this killing."
Schroeder added, "As far as we're concerned Mr. Jenkins fled California because he knew he was guilty and killed himself because he knew he was guilty. This was swift justice."
Jenkins, 32, is Canadian citizen who became the focus of a nationwide manhunt after police said he fled to his home country when the mutilated body of his wife, a former Playboy model, was discovered stuffed in a suitcase in Buena Park, Calif., just south of Los Angeles, on Aug. 15.
Fiore, 28, had her fingertips cut off and her teeth pulled out, apparently to make it difficult to identify her. Rackauckas called the attempt to obfuscate investigators "an amateur idea."
"I know there is a TV show where there's a predator who did that to a couple of people. I don't know if that's where he got the idea," the DA said.
"There are other ways to identity somebody," such as DNA, he said.
Fiore was subsequently identified during the autopsy by the serial number on her breast implants.
"It's unusual, but it's not unique," Rackauckas said of the method of identifying Jenkins. "That's happened before."
Jenkins' body was discovered Sunday by the manager of the Thunderbird Motel in Hope, British Columbia, who said Jenkins hung himself from a coat rack.
Local police answered a call regarding a dead body at the hotel, which is east of Vancouver, and after seeing the body called investigators involved in the Jenkins manhunt. Sgt. Duncan Pound of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police said in a news conference Sunday that "preliminary evidence suggests that [Jenkins] took his own life."
The discovery of Jenkins' body shocked his friends, who had been hoping against hope that he had nothing to do with Fiore's death.
A source told ABC News that one friend who had grown close to Jenkins after they starred on the reality show "Meagan Wants a Millionaire" was especially distraught by the news. He told the source: "I just couldn't believe he did it. I'm a mess. I'm totally taking that to mean he had a guilty conscience. He was my friend. He wasn't supposed to do something like that. None of us could believe it."
Walker, the manager of the Thunderbird Motel, told ABC News he found Jenkins' body at 11:30 a.m. Sunday, about 30 minutes after checkout time. He opened the door, called out and saw a laptop computer in the room, and when he entered, Jenkins was hanging from the coat rack, Walker said.

Tim Cope
Thanks [Amisya], good afternoon, and welcome to Lakes Entertainment third quarter 2008 earnings conference call. On the call with me is Lyle Berman, Lakes' Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer.
As we begin with our prepared remarks, I would like to remind everyone that this call may contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Federal Securities law, including statements concerning business strategies and their intended results, similar statements concerning anticipated future events and expectations that are not historical facts.
These forward-looking statements are made pursuant to the Safe Harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements do not guarantee future performance and therefore undue reliance should not be placed upon them.
Lyle will begin a discussion today with the general overview and update our casino projects. I will then discuss the third quarter financial results and recent business events and then we'll conduct a question and answer. Lyle?
Lyle Berman
Thank you Tim, and welcome everyone to Lakes' third quarter 2008 earnings call. Let's start the call right away talking about the recent election in Ohio. As you can imagine, we are very disappointed that our My Ohio Now Casino Resort Initiative was not approved by the voters in the State of Ohio in Tuesday's election.
The total cost of our efforts in Ohio will be approximately $29 million. However, during the referendum process we never lost sight of our core operations and the development projects which continue to proceed as planned. We believe that our company is well positioned for growth, given the upcoming opening of the Red Hawk Casino as well as the projects we have in various stages of development.
Before talking about our current operations and developments, I just wanted to briefly mention the current economic environment. Obviously, we here at Lakes are concerned about what has occurred in the financial markets over the past few months and we're keeping very close tabs our operations and especially our cost structure as we prepare to enter to 2009.
It's very difficult to forecast our business in the short term due to the volatile economic conditions. But we want to stress that our fundamental business remains strong and we believe that we will whether any storm that comes our way, especially once the Red Hawk Casino opens.
I would also like to emphasize that while we are always evaluating potential new opportunities, our current focuses is on the successful opening of Red Hawk, the management of our other casino operations and the successful development of our remaining projects under contract.
Speaking of which, let's start off with our operations and development discussion with the latest from the new Red Hawk Casino in Shingle Springs California which is the casino development and management project currently under construction with the Shingle Springs band of Miwok Indians.
At end of September, Governor Schwarzenegger signed a bill ratifying the amended compact between the Shingle Springs Miwok Indians and the State of California, which will allow for class III gaming to be offered at the Red Hawk Casino.
The new compact runs through 2029 and allows for a maximum of 5000 Class III electronic gaming devices at one gaming facility, in return for getting more Class III gaming devices. The Shingle Springs band will share revenues with the state based on a sliding percentage of net win ranging from 20% to 25% from the operations of the Class III slot machines. The tribe will also contribute $4.6 million per year to the revenue sharing trust fund which pays up to $1.1 million each year to non-gaming tribes in California.
The same day of the ratification, the Shingle Springs tribal gaming authority, an affiliate of the Shingle Springs band of Miwok Indians, closed on the $77 million FF&E financing, the final portion of funding for the Red Hawk Casino. Securing the funding was a testament to the strength and progress of this project, considering the extremely volatile economic environment and the tight credit markets in which we currently reside.
As of today, the casino project is approximately 92% complete, while it's dedicated interchange from US Route 50, which will allow for easy access for our customers to the casino, is now substantially complete and will be open tomorrow for use by tribal members. The project remains within budget and on schedule for a planned grand opening at the end of the year.
In the meantime, the amended compact has been submitted to the bureau of Indian affairs for its approval, and we anticipate receiving BIA approval prior to the end of this month. Subject to receiving all final approvals upon its opening, the Red Hawk Casino plans to feature approximately 2,000 Class III slot machines, 75 table games, a high stakes gaming room as well as ten food and beverage outlets, enclosed parking and other typical facilities.
