Panasonic brings professionals a new style of camera-recorder. The AG-HPX301 debuts with a totally redesigned body that's compact, lightweight and has a low center of gravity. Mobility is outstanding. Operation is easy. And the AG-HPX301 comes packed with Panasonic's most advanced P2 HD technology.
Featuring a newly designed image sensor, the AG-HPX301 supports AVC-Intra, the newest motion image compression codec in addition to the DVCPRO codecs. Data is recorded onto reliable P2 memory cards.
With its high picture quality, superb image rendering, long recording time, easy operation and flexible adaptability to IT, the AG-HPX301 is a powerful answer to today's advanced video production demands. It also offers low operating costs and high environmental performance
The AG-HPX301 features a newly developed camera section with a 2.2-megapixel image sensor and 20 bit digital signal processor. Image quality is outstanding.
Newly Developed 2.2-Megapixel Image Sensor
The AG-HPX301 boasts the 3 Full HD MOS image sensors for RGB. They are 1/3-inch, 2.2-megapixel (1920 x 1080) image sensors which is capable of acquiring full-HD images. This new sensor and Newly designed signal process LSI is the key technology behind the AG-HPX301's superior picture quality. It also helps make possible the compact size, light weight and low power consumption that distinguish the AG-HPX301.
Fujinon High-Performance 17x Zoom Lens
The AG-HPX301 comes equipped with a Fujinon 1/3-inch 17x zoom lens. Optimized for use with the AG-HPX301, this high-performance HD lens incorporates advanced broadcast lens technologies to achieve a compact size, light weight, 4.5mm f-value at the wide end, and excellent zoom response. The zoom is comfortable to grip and use. Also, quick zoom and autocruising zoom functions can be allocated to the VTR and RET switches.
Chromatic Aberration Compensation (CAC)
This exclusive technology sets up a conversation between lens and camera which allows for a highly sophisticated algorithm to be deployed that will automatically compensate the registration error that is caused mainly by lens chromatic aberration, and minimize the circumjacent blur.
Dynamic Range Stretch (DRS)
In scenes with mixed contrast, such as when panning from indoors to outdoors, the DRS function automatically suppresses blocked shadows and blown highlights. A gamma curve and knee slope are estimated to match the contrast of each pixel, and applied in real time. When dark, bright, and intermediate shades are all contained in the same scene, this produces excellent gradation for each shade and minimizes blocked shadows and blown highlights. The images that result are enhanced by a visually wide dynamic range.
3-Position Gain Selector / 24dB Gain-Up Function
There is a 3-position gain selector, with L, M and H settings. To each setting you can assign a gain value from −3 dB to 12 dB, in 3 dB steps. There is also a USER button - just give it a quick touch to instantly boost the gain by 24 dB.
Newly Developed 20 bit Digital Signal Processor
The AG-HPX301 incorporates a high-performance 20 bit DSP that handles image rendering processes such as gamma and various detail enhancement functions with exceptional precision. Consuming less power than conventional processors, the new DSP contributes to the AG-HPX301's outstanding environmental performance.
Scene File Dial
Set this dial for an instant set of shooting conditions. Six preset files are provided, and you can change any of the six file names and their settings as desired. You can also store and load the settings to an SD card.
• File Description
F1: - Standard settings
F2: FLUO. Indoor shooting under fluorescent lights
F3: SPARK Highlighting subjects at receptions, dinners etc.
F4: B-STR Enhanced gradations of luminance in low light scenes
F5: CINE V Cine-Like setting shifted to prioritize contrast*
F6: CINE D Cine-Like setting shifted to prioritize dynamic range*
*Selecting this file does not change the video recording format. If you want to switch to 25p, 24p and 30p, you must do so as a separate procedure.
Slow, Synchro and High-Speed Shutter
The shutter speed can be set between 1/6.25 second on the slow end in 50Hz mode (1/6 second in 59.94Hz mode) and 1/2000 second on the fast end. Used with the variable frame rate function, this allows you to create a blurring effect or crystal-clear stop-motion of sports action. The AG-HPX301 also features a synchro scan function for capturing screen shots from a computer monitor.
• Advanced Image Adjustments Built-In
• Matrix setting including a Cine-Like mode
• Adjustable H detail level, V detail level, detail coring and skin tone detail
• Adjustable chroma level, chroma phase, color temp and master pedestal
• Knee point settings: Auto, Low, Mid and High
• User files can be saved to an SD card and shared with other cameras.
• 4-position (off, 1/4 ND, 1/16 ND, 1/64 ND) optical neutral density filter wheel
Cine-like Functions
The gamma, variable frame rate and other advanced functions let you capture images with a cinema-like feel, expanding your creative and expressive possibilities.
7-Mode Gamma for Richer Gradation
Drawing on technologies developed for the VariCam, Panasonic has equipped the AG-HPX301 with advanced gamma functions that address seven different shooting scenarios and enhance your creative abilities. This includes the Cine-Like Gamma, which produces the characteristic tone of film recordings.
Native and Over-50p/60p Modes
• 720p Native Mode
In Native mode, the AG-HPX301 records images at the frame rate set in the camera. For example in 25pN mode, it only records 25 frames instead of the normal 50 frames*. Using the AG-HPX301 to play back the recording at the normal rate, you can preview the speed effect right on the spot, without using a frame rate converter. Native mode also extends the recording time of a P2 card.
*In 24pN mode in 59.94Hz system mode, AG-HPX301 records only 24 frames instead of the normal 60 frames
• 720p over 50p/60p Mode
This is a mode for recording 50p-converted or 60p-converted video. For example, in 24p mode, it records 60 frames by applying a 2:3 pulldown. The recording time is the same as in 1080i or 720p mode, but the unit can output a DVCPRO HD stream from the IEEE 1394 connector as it records.* This lets you produce a backup copy using a connected external P2 recorder such as AJ-HPM110 or AG-HPG20, DVCPRO HD recorder or hard-disk recorder such as the Focus Enhancements FireStore FS-100.
*Only when the recording format is DVCPRO HD. There is no output when the AVC-Intra codec is used.
*24p = 23.98p, 30p = 29.97p, 60p = 59.94p and 60i = 59.94i
1080/480 24p Advance Mode (in 59.94Hz mode)
The 1080 and 480 progressive recording systems convert recordings to 60i in 24p, 30p, or 24pA (Advance) mode. The 24p Advance mode uses 2:3:3:2 pulldown, which allows for an easy extraction to a 24p timeline and no quality loss in the process with compatible NLEs.*
*AVC-Intra recording is not possible.* For information on compatible nonlinear editing systems, visit<https://eww.pavc.panasonic.co.jp/pro-av/> and click "Nonlinear Compatibility Information."*24p = 23.98p, 30p = 29.97p, 60p = 59.94p and 60i = 59.94i
Scan Reverse Function for Use with Film Lenses
The AG-HPX301 comes with scan reverse. This function cancels the image inversion that occurs when a Cinema lens adaptor is used.
AVC-Intra Codec
High-quality 1920 x 1080 pixel, 10 bit, 4:2:2 HD recording
Comes Equipped with AVC-Intra Codec
An AVC-Intra codec board is included as standard equipment.
It allows recording in either of two modes: AVC-Intra 100, for full-pixel HD (1920 x 1080 and 1280 x 720) images, or AVC-Intra 50 for low-bit-rate, low-cost operation. AVC-Intra is a new codec that further advances HD production. It complies with the MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 international standard based on advanced image compression technology, and offers both superb image quality and highly efficient compression. It uses an intra-frame compression system to bring important advantages to professional editing.
In the AG-HPX301, a new single-chip digital signal processor is integrated with the AVC-Intra codec circuit. This is another way the AG-HPX301 cuts power consumption.
High-Image-Quality AVC-Intra 100 Mode
With the same bit rate as DVCPRO HD, this mode supports full 10 bit recordings with 1920 x 1080 pixels. It enables the AG-HPX301 to capture master-quality video for high-end video production

There's no denying Guardians of the Galaxy is the breakout success of the MCU. With the second film poised to make a boatload of money in the US. next weekend (and already piling up stacks internationally), star Vin Diesel claims there could be the germ of a spinoff brewing.
The man behind everyone's favorite talking tree thinks he's bound to get his own movie eventually.
While we already knew Star-Lord (Chris Pratt) would be rocketing his way into Avengers: Infinity War following the events of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, we had yet to hear if the rest of the Guardians would also appear in the third Avengers film.
It's been more than a decade since Vin Diesel played super spy Xander Cage in xXx on the big screen, and after spending the past few years driving fast cars over in the Fast and Furious franchise, he's back.
Vin Diesel's plans for a Riddick spinoff TV series have been put into motion.
Love him or hate him, there's one thing you can't deny — Vin Diesel is one of the most accessible and connected movie stars on the planet. The guy interacts with fans via social media all the time, revealing intel on projects and even rallying the troops to help get movies made at times.
A new TV series set in the Riddick universe has been announced by Richard B. Riddick himself. Oh, and get ready for another movie.
Vin Diesel gives up cars in favor of flaming swords and flash powder.
Vin Diesel sweeps the Earth clean of evil witches in this broomstick-free trailer.
If you thought The Last Witch Hunter looked like a trip before, just check out the latest trailer for Vin Diesel's newest would-be franchise. This might be just crazy enough to work.
While taking a break from driving sports cars in the Fast & Furious franchise, Vin Diesel is currently hard at work on what could be his next hit film series — The Last Witch Hunter.
Vin Diesel can do anything, including looking awesome while sporting some epic facial hair and being surrounded by flames.
Vin Diesel swaps fast and furious cars for hunting witches in the first The Last Witch Hunter teaser.
Vin Diesel has taken to his Facebook page again to drive fans crazy about his next move with Marvel.


text: Description: For the last past months we have been working towards market day. I'm one of the executives so we haven't really been filling out our slide but if we were making a product we would have pictures of our posters and things we have been working on. I'm a banker so I've done a lot of maths! The maths was simple maths though. Which is cool! We have put some reflections about how the "journey" went. Here's our slide.


text:
THE EURYTHMICS were everywhere in the air in the Eighties, like wild yeasts and flakes of dead skin. Though few people probably even noticed that they'd split up, such has been their enduring ubiquity on local radio, Annie Lennox and Dave Stewart are back together promoting their first album in nearly a decade, the overproduced Peace.
It's an odd record, something of a fight between Stewart's obsession with recreating the work of the Rolling Stones and The Beatles - the track "Forever" makes Oasis sound solidly original - and Lennox's talent for the dramatic ballad. Even now she shows up the likes of Celine Dion for the shouters they really are.
Few Eighties hit-makers can get away with charging pounds 35 a pop for a revival show at this huge horrible barn. The best most of that benighted decade's stars can expect these days is a slot on a Christmas office-outing. Annie and Dave are above such things, presumably not needing the money - profits from the "peacetour" are for Greenpeace and Amnesty International. But face it, they're still a pair of fortysomethings, performing to an audience little younger, and peddling music from a distant era.
Reassuringly, Annie never changes, vocally she is as spot-on as ever and is doubtless fated to live out her days as Scotland's answer to Marlene Dietrich. Her partner Dave, gleefully deconstructing his own songs on an endless succession of guitars, still sports the millionaire's hairstyle which would see him laughed out of any trendy Hoxton bar. Not that he gives a damn.
So many of the audience - estate agents, junior estate agents, their parents but not their kids - are in their coats that it looks like the next winter catalogue in here. But to the Eurythmics' credit, this solid greatest-hits show soon warms them up.
For some reason, the ever-horrid "Thorn In My Side" gets everyone out of their seats, but more interesting is the loose version of "Who's That Girl", the exact antithesis of the metronomic original. An "unplugged" has no audible musical effect except to allow the 10 people on stage to get to know each other better around the piano, while new songs, like the Bryan Adamesque "17 Again" which actually stoops to quoting from their own "Sweet Dreams", are no classics.
But it's a slick show for all that. In fact, it's like they never went away, but don't necessarily take that as a recommendation.

SmartWool Hesperus Full Zip Sweater Women's
Warpped in the SmartWool Women's Hesperus Full Zip Sweater, you no longer feel the the cold wind beneath your wings as you make your way from the hostel to pub for apres ski hot toddies. This thigh skimming cardigan is anything but a shapeless mass of merino wool. Semi form fitted and with a cowl neck, the chunky fishbone knit gives this cardigan an easy going air without being sloppy. The sleeves are a sleek jersey knit for stylish contrast to the body, but still crafted from silky soft merino wool. The thermoregulating properties of merino work to keep you warm when you're waiting outside of the school for your second grader on a blustery day or walking your dog in storm signalling winds. Instead of the usual fleece jacket when heading to the pumpkin patch, grab the Hesperus for an equally cozy, but fashionably different, take on snuggly warmth.

You are herecontent / Bush's Signing Statement on the Supplemental Surrender Act of 2007
Bush's Signing Statement on the Supplemental Surrender Act of 2007
By David Swanson
Well, it's possible Bush has begun keeping his signing statements off his website, because this is the only statement he's put there about his signing of the Supplemental Surrender Act.
I assumed he would find dozens of little things in the bill to reverse. If there was anything with any good to it in the bill, I was sure we could count on Bush's lawyers to find it and reverse it. But Bush just praises the "benchmarks" - which of course he wanted all along, and leaves it at that. "Dis heer briar patch ain't so shabby, Master Obey."
Now, it's true that Nancy Pelosi had threatened to sue if Bush tried to reverse sections of this law with a signing statement, and it's true that people were watching. Maybe Bush decided that there was just so little he didn't like in the bill and such a spotlight on the issue at the moment that he'd be better off simply violating the law without announcing his intention to do so.
If you have the stomach to go to http://thomas.loc.gov and read HR 2206 you're sure to find things Bush opposes. There's probably yet another ban on torture in there. The Associated Press reported that the bill contains a commitment to leave Iraq if the Iraqi government asks (which it already has). Maybe Bush has decided that announcing his intention to violate laws is more trouble than it's worth. If so, that's something of a victory against the formalization and codification of dictatorial power. But it doesn't guarantee lawful behavior. And lawful behavior is genocide when Congress passes bills like this one.

All he needed was the money and approval for more troops--and we're
headed for full war with Iran. And with all our troops in
the middle east -- and now moving south so it is reported--and with
the mighty war ships and more troops on them -- and with the approval
for CIA movements into Iran -- who cares about Iraq anymore!
It's Iran. Also, what about the benchmark for oil that everyone
were so upset about. Notice no mention of that little subject
which I am sure if it were not in this bill Bush would add it as a
signing statement.
With all our troops sent to middle east the time would be just
right for another false flag event here so Bush could declare martial
law. And he would call on all the UN troops stationed here as
planned long ago to quell any uprising of American citizens. There
was the recent article about Russians in Virginia--in unmarked uniforms at a store who when asked who they were said "its classified". Having worked in the Forest Service I know there are lots of foreign language troops stationed there.
Unfortunately the members of Congress all serve the NWO cause if we
havent figured that out yet.
We better get busy imagining a safe and peaceful world to reshape this
situation to our advantage. We can also imagine everyone in the military deciding they dont want to keep on killing anymore.
Any other ideas? seeing a safe world, alcyone

The 8 commandments of sex - tips to turn you into a total sex goddess
|Article in images
OK, so it's not easy to find, but with a bit of perseverance, practice and...lube, anything is possible.
Not every guy is going to want a finger up his special place, so knowing your audience is really important. If you get the green light then here's how to go forward.
Our sex tip: Going for the big G requires a bit of careful preparation and so we suggest that you warm him up a bit by licking, sucking and kissing his perineum and (if you're feeling particularly adventurous - his anus too) whilst you're giving him oral sex.
You can then move on to massaging the whole area, maybe put a tiny bit of lube there too, the main thing is to have him nice and relaxed.
Once you feel he's ready, gently put a finger up his anus and move your way around the rectal wall. When you feel a prominent spot the size of a walnut, you're there!
Massage it with care, gently but firmly, for explosive results. You can even use a small vibrator there or anal beads and butt plugs if he really likes it.

The water below
There was a sense of happiness in the water as childrens laughter is heard in the morning air.
Summer is here,school is out for the next three months and as far as you can see the land belongs to them.
To explore,to conquer like their forefathers had done before them.
There was a time where pirates travelled in the sea before their eyes in this very same waters they bathed in.
Under this surface where many still dive in search of treasure but all they encounter is fish and coral reef.
And freedom.
A freedom to be a child and grow in a familiar surronding that if one is lucky it shall be pass down for the next generations to see and share alike.
If one is lucky!
Under the waves that where`nt too strong today, Polly was swimming.
Already forgetting her panick attack from yesterday or even the promise she made to herself about trying to conquer her own fears of animals!
Today,she was free of the manual labour imposed to her by her grandparents when free of school hours!
Today,she did what she loved the most and to be quite honest and without bragging,she did the best!
She dived under the blue water that where still cool enought to refresh her heated skin but not cold enought to make her come out after a few minutes in.
The sun above her was warm and bright,so bright that when hitting the surface of the ocean created mirror images of rainbows!
Beautiful as well as peacefull and still she preferred the quiteness of the water beneath her,around her.
Capable of holdind her breath under water for more than two minutes,Polly was eagger to swim near the coral reefs!
Making sure she was kept in the views of the life guard she waved to him and getting a waved back she singeld that she would dive for a few minutes and held her fingers up in the air to show for how long.And he singeld back and ok ,by nodding.
With the knowledge that someone knew where she was in case of anything should happen,she dived under...

hehe, sorry couldn't resist.
To add my comments, I like both the glock and M&P, I give the M&P the edge except for the almost imperceptable trigger reset feel. I agree with cutting the budget but there are FAR more areas that could be cut before law enforcement equipment and training.
Thank you... and for my next trick, i will take for free all the GLocks that the police dept turned in... and then i will sell them for $5 to all members of this forum
It's the Chevy/Ford thing all over. I don't have a dog in this hunt--I own several M&Ps and Glocks also, but don't EDC either. I like to slip a 9mm barrel in a G 2d2 or 31 and practice at the range. But I also love to shoot my M&P 9 or 9C as they just feel good. Wife lady sometimes carries the 9C.
My son works for a state agency who changed from M&P 40s to Glock 22s about 1 1/2 years ago. His comment was that in his opinion, he preferred the Smith, but felt like the Glock was just as good and was confident in its reliability.
BTW, I own Ford, Chevy and Dodge trucks and have praised and cursed all in the past.
If I was the head of police agency, I'd issue 1911's, or Hk USP's. Or, you could supply your own, out of your own pocket as long as you can qualify with it and it's reliable.
M&P's aren't bad. Glock can only stay ahead for so long. And I think they are still ahead. I wouldn't mind owning an M&P some day.
I am going to contact this department, I will offer him 6 ea really sharp sticks for every M&P he turns in... And 4 Bikes for every car etc..... What a great way to make decisions...
Actually I was working on our department range during a period of time when our Glock 22s were having major issues. Long story short many of them experienced Failure to Extracts with about 4-5 rounds left in the magazine. It affected about 10% of our guns. We utilized high speed stop motion cameras and were able to actually film the guns malfunctioning. We tried every known fix, and determined that Gen 3 Glocks 40 cal would not run correctly with a fully loaded magazine and without a light attached. This culminated with one of our officers being involved in a shooting and having his gun jam before being able to fire all his rounds, after having been struck by the suspect's rounds. We were not the only large agency to experience this problem. Long story short, Smith and Wesson offered us this same deal, which we took. The armorer's class, the new Safariland holsters, etc were all paid for by Smith and Wesson. So there are reasons for departments to switch equipment, on occasion.
Si vis pacem, parabellum
Well, if its about economics and value for the taxpayers then I get it. As for reliability and I suppose that could be argued. Around theses parts I see many agencies with SIGs so go figure.
Monsters are real and so are ghosts. They live inside of us, and sometimes they win.
~ Stephen King
I work for a PD that authorizes several .40 primary duty pistols, made by four makers: S&W, Glock, SIG, and SAI. (I think it is an abomination for a PD to limit officers to one model of pistol! Glocks do not fit me, and my accuracy results show it; I would hate to be limited to a Glock.) One model dominates, being chosen by half or more of each cadet class, that being the S&W M&P40. The ones I am able to ask, usually cite ergonomics. Some of these say they preferred the SIG P229 or P226, but we buy our weapons, and SIG is just too expensive for many on cadet pay. The P226/P229 are seen as the prestige pistols, with not just price, but accuracy being cited as the reasons.
Before the M&P40 was introduced by S&W, and then authorized as a choice, the Glock was the most popular choice, with price being the main motivator, among those I asked.
Glock has lost a huge market share among my PD's cadets and officers, between the M&P40 and the XD. I cannot specify my PD on social media, by policy. We are 5000+ officers; not a small PD.

Glockman I was not trying to defend the M&P as it can speak for itself. and I respect your statement.

Gasification and Liquefaction
Gasification and liquefaction is a proven process for converting coal into market-competitive substitutes for petroleum products. These technologies have been used successfully in other parts of the world for more than 50 years.
An early form of coal gasification called 'town gas' was used in the 1800s to light America's largest cities, but was replaced when large natural gas reserves were developed. In the 1970s, when the supply of natural gas seemed to be declining, coal gasification regained its popularity only to lose it when large quantities of natural gas once again became available. Rising natural gas and crude oil prices have renewed the interest in this technology. Today over one hundred gasification facilities are in operation worldwide with more under development.
The Fischer-Tropsch liquefaction technology, originally developed in the 1920s by German researchers Franz Fischer and Hans Tropsch, was used during World War II in Germany and Japan to produce alternative fuels. By 1944, 25 plants were producing a total of 124,000 barrels per day.
In the 1940s, the U.S. Congress appropriated $100 million in the Synthetic Liquid Fuels Act for studying coal-to-liquids technology and, by 1953, Fischer-Tropsch process test plants produced up to 5,000 barrels per day of gasoline. That same year, the U.S. abandoned its research about the time that the South African government began investing heavily in Fischer-Tropsch infrastructure. Isolated due to its Apartheid policies, South Africa embraced the Fischer-Tropsch process in order to meet its energy needs. Today, South Africa uses indigenous coal to meet nearly 30 percent of its gasoline and diesel needs.
The technology for methanol-to-gasoline was developed for use by ExxonMobil in New Zealand during the 1980s and can produce commercial volumes of transportation fuels.
The gasification process converts any carbon-containing material into a synthesis gas composed mainly of carbon monoxide and hydrogen. The gas is used as a basic chemical building block for a large number of uses in the petrochemical and refining industries, or used to produce electricity or steam. Gasification adds value to low or negative value feedstocks by converting them to marketable fuels and products.
Gasification technologies vary in many aspects but share certain general production characteristics. Typical raw materials used in gasification are coal, petroleum based materials (crude oil, high sulfur fuel oil, petroleum coke, and other refinery residuals), gases, or materials that would otherwise be disposed of as waste. The feedstock is prepared and fed to the gasifier in either dry or slurried form. The feedstock reacts in the gasifier with steam and oxygen at high temperature and pressure in a reducing (oxygen starved) atmosphere. This produces the synthesis gas, or syngas, made up primarily of carbon monoxide and hydrogen (more than 85% by volume) and smaller quantities of carbon dioxide and methane.
The high temperature in the gasifier converts the inorganic materials in the feedstock (such as ash and metals) into a vitrified material resembling coarse sand. The vitrified material, generally referred to as slag, is inert and has a variety of uses in the construction and building industries. A cleaning process then removes the sulfur, CO2 and other trace elements, leaving a mixture of hydrogen and carbon monoxide.
In the conversion process, the cleaned syngas is passed through a chemical reactor loaded with a catalyst. The reaction generates chemicals and heat. In addition to a wide variety of liquids, including methanol, diesel, naphtha, kerosene, butane, propane, gasoline and jet fuel that are very low in sulfur and aromatics, conversion facilities can produce electricity and a number of other useful products.
The residual syngas, along with heat from the gasification and chemical reactions, is used to generate power for facility operations. In some cases, the electricity is available for export to wholesale power customers.
Marketable byproducts of the conversion process include chemicals and ash. CO2 removed in cleaning the syngas is used in enhanced oil recovery (EOR) to significantly increase production from mature oil fields. The sale of byproducts from conversion can substantially enhance the economics of a facility while reducing waste.

- What the heart says… - November 17, 2015
- From Darkness to Light - May 27, 2015
My heart is dead. My heart is rotten.
Oh, I gave too much time to this world, my Allah (swt) I have forgotten.
I tried to squeeze out happiness from this Dunya, but all I ended up with, is a broken heart.
Oh my heart is dead. Yes, it is rotten.
It's filled with diseases… that overcame its beauty.
I feel it shrinking as it is becoming a black deep hole.
Yes, my heart I'm describing, you may call me crazy.
But, you're not aware of a miracle- quite exemplary!
There is a vitamin for a heart that has lost its beauty.
Oh heart… Are you okay? What caused you this misery?
The heart replied in awe. Your sins oh man! Your sins oh son of Adam!
They're darker than the night. They're much poisonous than venom.
And the heap you bring in me, Wallahi, I am buried;
Buried in your sins way deep down.
You lied, you backbit, you disobeyed, you envied.
You hated, didn't love. You danced, didn't pray.
You listened to music. Wallahi, that destroyed me!
You talked to Na-Mehrem, that made me blind;
there stood a wall in me that would decline any light.
You had no modesty. Your gazes weren't down.
Your anger was like fire, it burnt all peace in me.
You were disrespectful to your parents. Believe me, that's when I was doomed!
You spoke ill of others, encouraged their sins. You were selfish and greedy.
You sat in front of that big screen all day. That misshaped me, misguided me, and misplaced me.
You kept earning Haram. You kept eating Haram. How could that ever enlighten me?
You counted your money and restrained from charity.
You thought "money" could bring you happiness only!
You deceived your Lord and no light could ever reach me!
Darkness creeped in till I shrank into a black deep hole.
Oh son of Adam, you're really such a fool!
You move around with a dead heart, thinking you're too cool.
Now that you know what caused me to die. Perhaps, I shall tell you, how to make me alive.
Yes it is actually possible! This black deep hole could become an enlightening lantern.
Just keep listening carefully. It's not at all hard I tell you.
One simple ingredient I long for. One vitamin that has the cure.
Oh son of Adam, "Verily, in the Remembrance of Allah do hearts find rest!" (Ar-Rad 13:28)
I beg you, I do… Just remember Allah (swt)!
Dhikr is the key, the antibiotic to my disease.
Take a doze everyday. Start slow and it will guide you to eternal peace!
Keep your hands busy in worldly necessities. And your heart busy in the Dhikr of Allah (swt).
Believe me, I'll become a brand new heart.
The darkness will disappear, the holes will fill up, the bruises will heal, I will size-up!
Just remember your Lord, praise Him, love Him. Obey Him, fear Him. Make Him yours!
Because, even after, all the darkness you brought in me, He always loved you. He kept an eye on you in patience, that you shall one day remember Him.
Just ask for forgiveness one single time, and He will forgive you without any complains.
He will make the darkness disappear from me, and light me up in a way you can't believe.
And trust me, that when I'm healed- you will heal. No power could destroy you, no darkness could reach you, nce you have a healed me.
And if you shall leave me dead again- just crawl back to Him, remember Him.And He shall guide you.

Patterson Dental Supply, Inc.
Patterson Veterinary Supply, Inc.
Patterson Medical Supply, Inc.
Patterson Companies Inc is a medical supplies conglomerate primarily in the business of veterinary and dental products (ranging from xray equipment to consumable products, dental consumables make up the biggest part of the dental industry).[4] Since 2003 it also distributes general medical rehabilitative devices like braces and wheel chairs. Traditionally a dental company it diversified its business at the turn of the millennium when it acquired 55-year-old company JA Webster Inc, a distributor of veterinary products. That business segment (now known as Patterson Veterinary) currently distributes equipment (diagnostic and surgical) and medicine (anaesthetics, vaccines). The company operates directly in only the US and Canada (in Canada through subsidiaries Sammons Preston Canada and Patterson Dental Canada).
In 2008 it was noted as having one of the lowest debt ratios among companies in the health care sector.[5] Patterson was also a member of the Nasdaq-100 until December 10, 2010 when it and six other companies were replaced. The Nasdaq-100 is composed of the 100 largest non financial stocks traded on the Nasdaq.[6]
Patterson is the distribution company for Sirona Dental Systems, one of the world's biggest dental equipment manufacturers.[7] More recently the company has been active in making acquisitions abroad; On June 17, 2010 Patterson Medical purchased the rehabilitation part of Ireland-based DCC Healthcare (Days Healthcare, Physiomed and Ausmedic) in a move that increased Patterson Medical's revenue by 16.43% (US$70 million, fiscal year ended April 24, 2010). The new companies were added to its Homecraft Rolyan unit in the UK.[8]
The company traces its roots through division Patterson Dental Supply back to one established in 1878 named Patterson Dental Company. It remained focused solely on the dental products market until the 21st century when it branched out into the veterinary supplies market through 2 large acquisitions, JA Webster in 2001 (92.5 million dollars)[9] and ProVet in 2004. For about 130 years it dealt only in dental supplies.[10][11] It began selling rehabilitation supplies in 2004 after acquiring Ability One Products Corporation followed by Medco the same year.[12]
It went public on the Nasdaq in 1992 with an IPO of around 480 million dollars.[13]
Key dates and events
- 1987 - Acquired D.L. Saslow Co another major distributor
- 1993 - Started doing business outside of the US by purchasing Healthco Canada.
- 1997 - purchased software developer Eaglesoft Inc a company founded by Scott R. Kabbes who 6 years later was made president of Patterson Dental Company. It later became Patterson Technology Center [14]
- 2004 - CAESY Patient Education Systems was acquired. It is used by the company to provide information relating to treatment procedures for patients. As a subsidiary the company retained its name.
- July 2004 - was renamed Patterson Companies Inc because by then it was not only in the business of dental equipment distribution, it also made software, served the veterinary market and supplied products for general medical use. Until that time it was named Patterson Dental Company.
Business segments[edit]
Patterson Dental Supply, Inc, Patterson Veterinary Supply, Inc. (formerly Webster Veterinary Supply), and Patterson Medical Supply, Inc. comprise the three core segments of the company. Those core businesses branch out into many regional subsidiaries, most of which are based in the United States (except for a few Canadian ones like Sammons Preston Canada and Patterson Dental Canada (has 550 employees). The majority of business in Canada comes from Quebec, Ontario, British Columbia, Alberta and Saskatchewan. Software and hardware businesses are part of Patterson Dental.
Patterson Medical provides over 20,000 rehabilitation supplies, equipment and assistive living products.
Patterson Medical's international operations consist of Homecraft in the United Kingdom and Kinetec in France. Homecraft is a supplier of aids to daily living and rehabilitation products in the United Kingdom. In France, Kinetec consists of two operations: the manufacturing and distribution of Continuous Passive Motions machines and distribution of Sammons Preston and Homecraft products.

Gimcrack (1760-?) was an English Thoroughbred racehorse stallion sired by Cripple, a son of the Godolphin Arabian, his dam Miss Elliot was by (Grisewood's) Partner.
A small grey horse at 14.2 hands, Gimcrack was nonetheless widely successful, winning 27 of his 36 races in a turf career spanning 7 seasons. Gimcrack won his last race in 1771, at age eleven, and he retired to the Grosvenor stud.
Gimcrack sired the handy grey horse, Grey Robin who defeated Pot-8-os.[1] His bloodline was more notable though in US horse racing than in Britain, via his son Medley.
Gimcrack is best known from the paintings by George Stubbs.
The Gimcrack Club, in York was founded in 1766 in his honour, and the Gimcrack Stakes, also at York, are therefore also named after the horse.[1]

The quickest way to update your eye makeup? Swap your traditional black eyeliner for a rich colored one. stila's smudge stick liners are gorgeously wearable and make your eyes pop. Better yet, the liners are waterproof and stay vibrant all day.
Way better than any drug store eye liner and definitely worth the price. It's my every day eyeliner. I've put it on at 6AM and by the time I've gotten home and taken a bath, it's still on and perfect. Doesn't smudge. It can be hard to tell what colors are what, but I can say Lionfish is a dark brown.5
This is the only eye liner pencil I will ever use! It glides on like silk, you have about a minute to smudge or blend it, and then it sets... and doesn't budge until you take it off. The colors are true, the color you see is the color you get. Now that Stila extended the shade range, I will never have a reason to buy another brand again!5

Curly Girl
I once met a girl,
With her hair full of curl.
And I do believe this girl had a crush on me.
She'd follow me ev'rywhere,
Be behind me on the stairs.
And made me feel that I couldn't be free.
She'd skip in the playground,
Like it was a Fairground.
Just so all eyes could see:
That this little girl,
Had a banner unfurled,
Saying that she had a crush on me.
So one sunny day,
I took her away.
To tell her we could never be...
But that little girl,
With her hair full of curl,
Is now dearly married all to me!

By ADAM SERRANO
LOS ANGELES –- Chandler Hoffman is an opportunist.
His ability to get into the right place at the right time has helped him develop into one of the most feared attackers in college soccer, scoring 18 goals this season at UCLA.
It was his ingenuity and ability to create on his own that got him to UCLA in the first place, though. Midway through his junior year at Oaks Mountain High in Birmingham, Ala., Hoffman was a lightly considered prospect, who was by-and-large ignored by the major programs. To draw the attention of the nation's biggest programs, Hoffman devised a plan as clever as any of his runs towards goal.
He took a chance by putting together a three-minute, 31-second clip of his high school highlights on YouTube and sent the video to coaches at Wake Forest, Maryland and UCLA.
"I realized that I had a really unique ability to score goals, so I thought, 'What do I have to lose?'" Hoffman said. "Within five minutes, I got responses from all of them, asking when they could see me play."
Three years and 35 Hoffman goals later, Bruins coach Jorge Salcedo still remembers his initial impression of the player slicing through high school defenses.
"Is this a real video? Whether or not he superimposed himself in some plays or he was in fact the person that scored all those fantastic goals," Salcedo said. "It was a very impressive highlight reel of his goals, but in some ways it was surreal, because you weren't quite sure that all the goals were really scored.
"In the video, you see a natural goalscorer and someone that can score goals in different ways. It definitely caught our attention."
Salcedo and scores of other college coaches got their first chance to see Hoffman live when he made his first trip to California for a youth academy showcase. It was on the well-manicured fields of the Home Depot Center that the forward immediately impressed, scoring five goals in two matches.
Hoffman was instantly smitten with the Southern California climate, but his parents were less than thrilled with their son moving nearly 2,000 miles to Los Angeles.
"They wanted me to stay on the East Coast, where they could at least drive and see the games," Hoffman said. "I had always seen myself coming to UCLA to be part of the history of professional players that they've had over the years. Once we saw the campus and the facilities, my parents felt what I felt and thought that this was a place that I could excel."
Three years later, the kid from Birmingham considers himself "transformed," with his southern drawl replaced by a strictly Californian vernacular and the "roll tide" and "y'alls" gone from his vocabulary, replaced by "dude" or "sweet".
His language wasn't the only change, as the Alabama "swoop" hairstyle that made him so noticeable in the video was replaced by what he describes as a "Cali cut." Although Hoffman has taken to his life in Southern California, it hasn't always been fun in the sun.
In the summer of 2010, Hoffman believed that he was primed for a breakout season ahead of his sophomore year. The forward and teammate Andy Rose had just trained alongside the L.A. Galaxy for the entire summer and Hoffman believed that he could help lead the young Bruins to NCAA glory.
However, before training camp was a day old, Hoffman suffered a broken fibula when he went to force a turnover from a goalkeeper during a short-sided game. Hoffman's teammate attempted to clear the ball, but instead struck the forward's leg, forcing him to miss the Bruins' first 11 games.
"I remember I picked him up and I brought him to my house with family and my kids to try and raise his spirits so he could realize that there was a light at the end of the tunnel," Salcedo said. "When you get hurt — and especially on the first day of practice — you feel like the world is caving in on you, and that's how Chandler felt on that first day. I felt very strongly about making him realize that just a couple months later, he would be back on the field."
After a rigorous rehabilitation, Hoffman reached that light at the end of the tunnel, and after returning from the injury, he closed the season with a flourish, scoring six goals in UCLA's final 11 matches. Despite his scoring flurry, the forward was unable to prevent the Bruins from falling in the quarterfinals of the NCAA Tournament to Louisville in a thrilling 5-4 matchup that was accompanied by a blizzard.
This year, Hoffman is once again went on a torrid scoring streak, and again it's Louisville that stands in the way of UCLA reaching the College Cup. But in a way, even more is at stake on Saturday, as a victory against the Cardinals would allow Hoffman to return to native Alabama, which is hosting the national semifinals and final. He said family and friends have already begun snapping up College Cup tickets in anticipation that he will be able to make a triumphant homecoming to Birmingham.
"When we found out that the Final Four was going to be in Birmingham, it was like eight months ago, and from the time I've found out I've been so excited," Hoffman said. "Everybody seems to think it's destiny for us to make it this year. To play in front of my home crowd would just be an unbelievable way to end off the season."
As for next year, Hoffman would no longer be eligible for a lucrative Generation adidas contract should he decide to remain at UCLA. The chance at a GA contract seemed like a stretch when he began the recruiting process and even heading into this season, but through his incredible run of form, the forward has forced his way into the conversation.
Hoffman admits that he has had conversations with his family about his professional career and that the opportunity to earn a GA contract would be a "dream come true."
"I had expressed to the coaches even last season when I was deciding to red shirt or not that my ultimate goal was to win a national championship and get Generation Adidas,' said Hoffman. "I feel like I have a decent opportunity to do both, and certainly right now, my focus is on winning a national title."
I never seen him play but just watched his highlights.
He is a real soccer player with vision and very good technical skills on those goals. Not your average Hedjuk or Danny Cruz (Dynamo) type, who have a high work rate but have no clue when and where to make a pass/run.
Has above average speed and doesn't rely on it to score, that is a good trait to have. Why is he playing college soccer? Most of his highlights show guys around him are not moving off the ball, just one other player at most, so he looks too good for the competition.
Like to see how he performs when he plays against guys who are tactically aware.
Hopefully this guy is at SSFC soon
shhhh…. keep this kid a secret so he falls to the Quakes in the draft…
I am guessing he is playing college soccer because he is from Alabama. No MLS team has the scouting to pick that up.
I doubt he will be playing MLS ball; the kid not only finishes well with technique, he puts himself in good scoring positions, and also creates his own chances. Go to Scandinavia, have a shot of playing in the Champions League, and you'll get more $$ than MLS.
Dam he has 18 goals? Didn't noticed that until I re-read this article.
Natural born striker. I like his Inzaghi style eye for goal.
Chandler's positioning and finishing in the box is top quality. He is the American Inzaghi.

Two rounds into the ASB Premiership season and it's business as usual at the front end of the competition.
Both Auckland City and Waitakere United won their opening home games of the new campaign today, leaving the perennial frontrunners level on top of the ladder.
The two Auckland teams, who have combined to win all nine editions of the competition, are the only sides with a pair of victories from as many games, although signs are encouraging there will be a tougher test issued by those below them.
After scoring three late goals to beat Team Wellington 4-1 in their opening fixture, Auckland again turned one point into three in the final 10 minutes against WaiBOP United at Kiwitea St.
The new entity, replacing Waikato FC, came close to adding a result away to the Oceania champions to their first-up win over Canterbury, only to be denied late on.
WaiBOP began in some style through Maksim Manko, who lashed one into the top corner after a couple of minutes, before Roy Krishna equalised in first-half stoppage time.
Auckland were lacking cohesion for much of the match and, with chances at a premium as the game wore on, a draw looked likely until the introduction of David Browne. The 18-year-old earned a questionable penalty in the 84th minute, which Adam Dickinson converted, before scoring a fine volley in added time.
It was a cruel blow for WaiBOP, who were defensively well structured and more competitive than Waikato sides of seasons past, but Auckland again showed their tenacity to snatch a win in the dying embers of the game.
At Fred Taylor Park, Waitakere enjoyed a more straight-forward triumph, creating two chances and scoring two goals to take care of Wellington.
Scottish import Jordan Lowdon was again the difference, rounding the keeper to score the first and before exchanging passes with Richard Cardozo to set up the second. The 21-year-old, who plays on the left of a front three, impressed in last week's 3-0 win over Southern and will be one to watch as the competition progresses.
Wellington had the best of the chances, with Henry Fa'arodo guilty of squandering a couple of gilt-edged opportunities, but the defending champions were far more clinical and good value for their win.
The visitors dominated the second half and, with the talent in their squad, they showed they will be a difficult proposition to deal with when their new recruits start to gel.
On Saturday, Wanderers SC - formed by New Zealand youth players preparing for the 2015 World Cup - began life in the ASB Premiership with a meritorious 2-2 draw against Canterbury at North Harbour Stadium, while Hawkes Bay edged Southern 3-2 in Napier.

The shadow
a extract from one of my on paper writen books
A black shadow flew through the air, silent, almost happy., but the smile he had on his face was not he nice smile of a normal person it was a manic one, one that promised death to the person that got on the wrong side of the user. That was what someone had done and they were just going to have to find out the hard way that if you get on the wrong side of this person you might not want to go to sleep, for in the shadow of the dreams, the night angel stirs .
The city of Yongjiu, the city of eternal peace. The morning stirs, all the people were riseing, all but two, one becouse he was the baker and had to put out his wares for the travelers to eat. The other, the ruler of the city, would never have to wake up again. For the silence had fallen, the silence of death

The Law Of The Gun
In a barren wastleland of corrupt sheriffs, ruthless gunslingers, cheaters, stealers, and undertakers lie the only law. The law of the gun. Now a famous marshall must save a town from itself before its too late.
"Hello, you must be the new town marshall," a bearded man says "say you wouldn't happen to have any guns on you do you cause' im gonna have to kill you." Just as the words are out of his mouth the man reaches for his gun as lead pounds into his hand."Not quick enough for me," Grady said "If you ever try something like that again im going to kill you, understand?" The man nodds suddedenly and runs off in the other direction. The famous marshall has been called upon by the town of Goldstine to protect them from the 70 bandits who lurk the streets waiting for someone they can kill.
As he enters the town he can see that the town is excatly what he expected. The town consided of a hotel, a saloon, a general store, a trading post, a sheriff's office, and a restraunt. He enters the restuarant and orders a cup of coffee as he has been wanting for days as he has been traveling to the town. A strange man comes walking up and sits down , "Hi, you must be new here im Bobby the town resturant owner." Grady is about to speak but is interupted by the owner, "I can tell by your badge that you are the new marshall. You do not know how many sheriffs have died, the only reason the sheriff right now is alive is because he doesn't do a thing." Grady is once again interupted by the owner as he tries to speak, "Ever sience gold has been found here pepole from all over have come to gather whatever gold they could get, but unfortunatly it brought all these guys bandits here to get what they could. The ruthless of them all is bearded dan" Just as the words are out of his mouth the ruthless man himself enters the restruant. "Okay Bobby im here to collect my 'taxes' from you!" A man from the table in the back raises a shotgun but it is guned down by Dan. Grady draws and fires and the bullet hits dan in the arm."Did you miss me Dan? Cause' I sure did miss you." Dan dashes out as Bobby looks up. "You saved my life mister. What is you name?" Bobby askes. "My name is Grady, but i think we should be more worried about the man who got shot over there."
The two men run to the shot man. "Are you ok?" Bobby askes."Yes i am the bullet only scraped me," the man then stands up and turns to face Grady,"I am very impresed by your gun work there. I'm sorry i did not introduce myself my name is Dr. Brown I am the town's doctor." The man says."I am Grady the new town marshall" Grady replies.

Hadrian's House
... have been in there are only two we would not use again, and this is one. It is certainly clean and cute, but very small.
Every place we have been in Italy has had a bidet, but this apartment is so small that they placed it in the shower! We could note we have been familiar with bidets for many years. When we visited Rome in the 70's there was one. We will not tell you what use we "tried" to make of it.
Rome, the Eternal City
Spoleto to Narni
The last day. Yeah! I'm ready for it. Unluckily, it's raining so it's a chilly, wet ride to Narni. Hannibal never actually made it into Rome and neither do we. We grumbled about this earlier in the week but the rain, traffic and indescribably appalling state of the Italian roads make us glad our guides have organised a coach to take ...
Wine anyone?
... they are keeping. It was very beautiful and neat to see but I think the best part was a story she told us. When they built the space the grandfather thought they were crazy. He said why would you want to keep the wine. We make to sell! Very true grandfather. I see his logic but if I was a wine maker I would want to keep one bottle for memory. Can't forget about the wine that was great too.
After the tour we went back to the B & B for lunch and a nap ...
A Day of Fountains at Villa d'Este
Our first full day in Italy was a gorgeous one, both in terms of weather and sight-seeing. We visited Villa d'Este, the 16th century home of Cardinal Ippolito II d'Este, a member of the rich and powerful Borgia family. He built the villa to console himself after his failed bid for the papacy. More impressive than the villa itself are the garden grounds, designed by ...

The Canopus seemed such a tranquil place perfect in its stillness...the long green pool lined on both sides by beautiful greek statues Hadrian loved so much.Now surrounded by poppy flowers and broken columns it still has the magic of centuries ago.It is crowned at one end by the Temple of Serapis where he must have reclined with his entourage enjoying the good things of life.

How do you pronounce envelope?
The \ˈen-\ and \ˈän-\ pronunciations are used with about equal frequency, and both are fully acceptable, though the \ˈän-\ version is sometimes decried as "pseudo-French." Actually \ˈän-\ is exactly what one would expect to hear when a French word like entrepreneur is becoming anglicized. Envelope, however, has been in English for nearly 300 years, plenty of time for it to become completely anglicized and for both of its pronunciations to win respectability.

"Governor emphasised the need to maintain close coordination among all agencies and departments to ensure an incident free yatra and asked the Principal Secretary Home and Divisional Commissioner to undertake regular periodic reviews of the arrangements being made for the yatra," the spokesperson said.

Big Data gets a lot of headlines. If any technology can be called heavily hyped, Big Data earns the prize for most breathless predictions of enterprise influence.
Typical of the rosy predictions is this from IDC: spending on Big Data-related infrastructure, software and services will grow at a torrid compound annual rate of 23.1 percent between 2014 and 2019, reaching a hefty $48.6 billion in 2019.
For companies, it would seem, boosting revenue as easy as implementing a Big Data solution and hiring an accountant who can track your windfall profits.
However, a research report from Dresner Advisory Services adds a sober note to the Big Data hype. Dresner is helmed by Howard Dresner, who understands the market: he's widely known as "the father of business intelligence" (having coined the term). He led Gartner's business intelligence research practice for 13 years.
Dresner's research report, from November 2015, includes input from roughly 3,000 organizations, as well as crowdsourcing and vendors' customer communities. The survey reports that:
* A mere 17 percent actively use Big Data in their organization today.
* A lukewarm 47 percent "may use" Big Data in the future.
* A remarkably large 36 percent have no plans for Big Data. In essence, fully a third of companies say: Big Data, who cares?
The Dresner survey includes this downbeat note: "despite an extended period of awareness building and hype, actual deployment of big data analytics is not broadly applicable to most organizations at the present time." (Italics mine.)
And yet the results reveal a conflicted attitude. Despite lackluster adoption, a full 59 percent say Big Data is "critically important." Huh? That's contradictory: A majority says it's critically important, yet a skinny 17 percent actually use it?
Clearly, executive's attitudes toward Big Data contain big ambiguities.
Big Data adoption is greatest among large businesses and institutions. Big firms have the deep pockets required to deploy competitive technology early in the game. Given a size of more than 5,000 employees, 36 percent now use Big Data.
Yet that still begs the question: what about the 19 percent of large companies with no plans to use Big Data? Can they keep up with competitors that are leveraging insights from Big Data?
The Dresner survey acknowledges that it contradicts other studies that tout Big Data adoption. "We recognize that this finding contrasts with other market studies and agree that there are powerful use cases for big data that may not be immediately suitable for supplanting existing resources and technologies such as SQL."
Other Big Data experts echoed Dresner's assessment of the market.
Fern Halper, Research Director for Advanced Analytics at TDWI, and a co-author of Big Data for Dummies, said the Dresner report "is probably directionally correct."
She noted that a TDWI survey that focused on readiness for Big Data found that less than 10 percent of companies felt they could manage petabytes of data. A much higher percent, of course, have experience managing terabytes. Further complicating the issue, many companies are handling structured data, "but we know that most data is disparate data," she said.
James Kobielus, IBM's Big Data evangelist, concurred that Dresner's numbers are probably in the ballpark. However, the Big Data market is not as stuck in infancy as the survey suggests, he said.
Assessing Big Data market adoption rates, "depends on where you set the threshold," he said.;

Prices of pulses like tur, urad, moong and yellow peas, are already down by 40% since their peak in 2009 and are likely to remain stable in coming months due to adequate stock and good production
Prices of pulses such as tur, urad, moong and yellow peas are expected to remain stable due to the adequate imports and expectation of good production in the coming rabi season. Experts say availability of fresh vegetables in the winter season also plays a key role in keeping prices of pulses under control.
Bimal Kothari, vice-president, India Pulses and Grain Association (IPGA), told Moneylife "According to our estimates the rabi crop should be fine. Generally, in the months of December and January there is decline in the demand for pulses due to availability of fresh vegetables. This helps in containing the prices of pulses."
According to Mr Kothari, India, being the net importer of pulses, has so far imported around 1.5million tonnes of yellow peas, moong dal, tur, urad from countries like Canada, Australia, Myanmar and Africa.
Expert say that the above average rainfall, as compared to last year, is good for better rabi production as it helps improve the moisture levels of the soil. "We are expecting the pulses production for 2011-12 to be around 1.6 million tonnes," says Mr Kothari.
According to the data from the ministry of agriculture, an area of about 4.50 million hectares has been under rabi pulses plantation, an increase from 3.68 million hectare as compared to last year, till first week of November.
In order to encourage farmers to take up pulses cultivation, the government has hiked the minimum support price (MSP) on chana and masur dal. MSP, for both the pulses, has been fixed at Rs2,800 a quintal, an increase of Rs700 per quintal for chana and Rs550 per quintal for masur as compared to last year's prices.
Mr Kothari says, "I don't see any reason for the prices to go up. They have actually been subdued by 40% compared to the prices of 2009, where it had reached to its peak. Overall, the pulses prices have negative contribution to the inflation. Expectation of good rabi production, higher MSP will balance the prices in favour of the consumers. The result is already seen in the wholesale market."
"Though SEBI is yet to come up with a risk management system for high frequency trading, we want all the players to have their own risk management systems in place," SEBI chairman UK Sinha told reporters
Mumbai: Capital markets regulator Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) today ruled out banning high frequency trading or algo trading products even as it expressed concern over their faster growth and technical glitches they entail, reports PTI.
"We will consult all the stakeholders before taking a decision. Though SEBI is yet to come up with a risk management system for these products, we want all the players to have their own risk management systems in place," SEBI chairman UK Sinha told reporters on the sidelines of a CII meet on capital markets here.
Observing that SEBI is not looking at banning these products, Mr Sinha said, "but, we are worried."
Algorithmic trading or high frequency trading system uses highly advanced mathematical models to make transaction decisions. This highly quantitative trading model employs computerised algorithms to analyse incoming market data and implement proprietary trading strategies wherein large quantities of shares are purchased by dividing them into smaller lots and allowing the complex algorithms to decide when the smaller blocks are to be purchased.
Use of these products has been gone up significantly in domestic markets in the last three years.
Joining Mr Sinha, BSE managing director and chief executive Madhu Kannan said when he joined the premier exchange two-and-a-half-years ago, "only 5% trades on the BSE used to take place using algo products but this has now gone up to 25%".
Following a technical glitch on the Muhurat trading on BSE, which led to cancellation of the entire derivatives trade on the exchange on Diwali day, SEBI had said it would do a thorough review of the risk management system in algorithmic trading to stop repetition of such incidents.
Addressing the Association of National Exchange Members of India last week, Mr Sinha had warned that the regulator would not allow anybody to mess with the system in the backdrop of some members being allegedly involved in manipulation.
"We have an effective risk management system, but we would not compromise. That is why we are ready to review," he had added.
Mr Sinha had also hinted at that the proposed review would consider changes in the margin system and the capacity to take the trades. Accordingly, the secondary market advisory committee, at 11th its November meet, had discussed the matter.
On the introduction of new products, Mr Sinha said, "We are going to be very cautious about allowing new products, especially if we perceive they are going to be risky."
He also added that the markets watchdog fully supports the products in the infra space like infra debt funds.
"Without infra growth we cannot have high growth," Mr Sinha said.
Is SEBI's consent order system illegal?

Athletics in 'difficult times' says Coe
By Ossian Shine
MONACO (Reuters) - Athletics is in "very, very difficult times" as it investigates allegations of widespread doping and cover ups in Russia, Sebastian Coe said on Monday.
"You have to say that the scope and scale of these allegations takes it beyond simply a competitor deciding to step beyond the moral boundary," said Coe, who last week launched his campaign to become next president of the sport's governing body the IAAF.
"This is not in every country of the world, there are 213 federations. But you do have to say a disproportionate amount of the reputational damage is in a relatively small number of countries, and I think we have to recognize this."
Coe, a double Olympic gold medalist, said he had watched the second part of the German TV documentary which has made the allegations.
The program by ARD-TV alleges doping and corruption which extends beyond Russia and the documentary implicates the IAAF in covering up the problem.
"They are very serious allegations," Coe, an IAAF vice-president, told reporters at the International Olympic Committee's Session in Monaco.
"The very fact that the allegations are in the public domain means that they are serious. So, we have to be very clear that this is a very, very difficult time for our sport."
Transcripts of the program had been sent to the IAAF Council, the body's ethics committee which is investigating the claims, to the IOC and the World Anti-Doping Agency, Coe said. Continued...

I knew walking down the corridor was a mistake. It was a change to my usual route, through the canteen. But I thought I needed a change, bad idea.
I walked straight into Luke, the hottest guy in school who also happens to be my lab partner. As luck would have it, he was with this friends, so he was an arse about everything.
"Would you look where you're going? I'm walking here." Although it seems like he's a total prick, he definitely is not.
We had a thing. Like a Thing. We were both at a holiday camp and he came onto me, I didn't really get why, but its Luke Faircloud. I mean, come one.
Anyway, bumping into Luke wasn't the problem, it was Suzie. Suzie McLough, Luke's ex.
She knew about me and Luke and she was definitely not happy we did it. Oh, did I not mention that? Yeah, um. Whatever.
"Eve Oakwind. Get away from him."
People began to stare at me, the students and the teachers. What was I supposed to do? Well, I did the wrong thing, that's for sure.
"Suzie. Get over the fact that Luke isn't with you. I'm not with him either, so grow up and drop it."
Huge, Huge mistake. My face had a blood red hand-mark for the day. Through chemistry and maths, lunch and English. I just wanted to get out.
If that day wasn't bad enough, what was waiting for me at home wouldn't be any better.
