Importance of The Holy Qur'an
The first lesson to be learned by all students is about the importance of the Holy Qur'an. The Qur'an is the Book of Allah subhaanahu wa ta'aalaa. Every word in the Qur'an has come from Allah. That is why we say that it is a Holy Book. The words in the Qur'an were sent by Allah to Prophet Muhammad sallal-laahu 'alayhi wa-aalihi wa sallam. The Prophet (S) received the words of Allah through angel Jibra'eel. This Qur'an is a Holy Book that was not written by anyone but sent by Allah to Prophet Muhammad (S) through Jibra'eel.
1. It is the most truthful speech: Prophet Muhammad (S) regularly read the words of Allah to Muslims around him. These Muslims were very pleased and excited to receive the words of Allah. Prophet Muhammad (S) said: The most truthful speech, the most eloquent advice, and the greatest stories are in the Book of Allah. The Muslims listened carefully to what the Prophet read, memorized the sentences and passages of the Qur'an, recited them regularly and followed the teachings of the Qur'an. In order to preserve the words of Allah the Prophet appointed special people known as "Scribes of the Qur'an" to write down the words of Allah.
2. It is in original language: Prophet Muhammad (S) was an Arab and the majority of people in Mecca and Medina spoke Arabic. Therefore the Qur'an was sent in Arabic. Arabic is written from right to left. It is better to learn to read the Qur'an in its original language. Therefore, we will put efforts to learn Qur'an written in Arabic instead of simply reading its translation in other languages.
3. The Holy Qur'an contains Allah's message to all people. It tells people how to act correctly. It guides us to a correct way of life in this world. The Book of Allah also talks about life after death. It tells us that Allah has prepared Paradise for good people and Hell for bad people. The Qur'an encourages the worship of only one God Who creates and provides for them. The Book forbids people from evil and condemns those who do wrong. It contains stories of the past Prophets and the examples of bad and good people. People are advised in the Qur'an to be good to others and respect them. It teaches people to live in peace and harmony.
4. Qur'an brings happiness in this world and the Hereafter. Following the Qur'an brings happiness in this world and the world after death. The Prophet (S) said: If you desire the life of the fortunate, the death of a martyr, the salvation on the Day of Regret and the shade on the Day of Extreme Heat, then you should study the Qur'an because it is the word of the Merciful, a sanctuary from Shaytaan and a causes the tilting of the Balance. In another Hadith we read that the Prophet (S) has said: The recitor of the Qur'an will be spared from the calamities of the Hereafter.
5. It is the only Divine book that has remained unchanged. Allah sent the Qur'an to His Prophet. A book sent by Allah to people is known as a Divine Book or a Heavenly Book. Other Divine Books were also sent to previous prophets. These are: Suhoof to Prophet Ibraheem 'alayhis salaam; Zaboor to Prophet Dawood 'alayhis salaam; Tawraah to Prophet Moosaa 'alayhis salaam; and Injeel to Prophet 'Eisaa 'alayhis salaam.
The difference between the Qur'an and past revealed books is that the Qur'an is the only Divine Book that has remained unaltered. The Qur'an we have with us contains exactly the same message that was sent to Prophet Muhammad by Allah through Jibra'eel.
6. Our supplications get answered if we were to pray after reading the Holy Qur'an. The Prophet (S) said: One who starts the Qur'an and finishes it, Allah will grant him one answered supplication. It also helps in strengthening our faith. Imam Ali (a) said: Reciting the Qur'an plants the seed of faith.
7. The Qur'an is the best companion. It can be of great help when a child or adult is feeling lonely. Imam Ali Zaynul 'Aabideen (a) said: If all who live between the East and West perish, I will have no fear as long as I have the Qur'an with me.
8. Students get wise when they start reading the Qur'an in their childhood. Prophet Muhammad (S) said: Whoever reads the Qur'an before becoming Baaligh, has indeed been given wisdom as a child. The Holy Book is the best intellectual treasure a student can have. Prophet Muhammad (S) said: The Qur'an is a wealth with which there is no poverty, and without which there is no wealth. On the other hand not caring to read and study the Qur'an is a great loss. Prophet Muhammad (S) said: Surely the person in whose heart lacks the trace of the Qur'an is like a ruined house.
9. Muslims read the Qur'an to understand the true teachings of Islam. Prophet Muhammad (S) left the Holy Book and the Ahlul Bayt (a) as the most important legacy for Muslims after him. He said: I leave two weighty things among you: The Book of Allah and my family – the Ahlul Bayt. Indeed these two will never separate until they reach me near the pool of Kawthar.
10. All Muslims recite some Soorahs in their prayers. However, it is good to memorize more Soorahs and read them in Salaat. Imam Muhammad Al-Baaqir (a) said: Whoever recites the Qur'an while standing in his prayer, Allah will bestow on him a hundred blessings for every letter; and whoever recites it while sitting in his prayer, Allah will reward him fifty blessings for every letter; and whoever recites it outside of his prayer, Allah will grant him ten blessings for every letter.
11. The Qur'an is a cure to mental and spiritual diseases: Imam Hasan al-'Askaree (a) said: The Messenger of Allah (S) said: I advice you to the Qur'an since it is the beneficial cure, the blessed medicine, the protection ('Isma) for he who holds fast to it, and the salvation for he who follows it. Neither does it cause crookedness so that it departs (from the truth) nor does it deviate so that it causes trouble. Its marvels do not come to end and the vastness of refutations does not wear it.
Respect and Rights of The Holy Qur'an
Now that we know that the Holy Qur'an is not an ordinary book, but a Divine Book sent by Allah for the guidance of all people, we must show respect to it. Here are some of the points we need to remember.
1. A part of the Qur'an carries the same respect as the entire Qur'an. Allah says:
When the Qur'an is recited, listen to it (7:204).
We know that when recitation takes place it is always of a part of the Qur'an. Even then Allah uses the word Qur'an for the part that is being recited. Therefore, if you have a Siparah, a binder or a booklet that contains Soorahs and passages from the Qur'an, you treat it like a Qur'an.
2. The Qur'an should always be carried with proper care. When your Madrasah bag contains the Qur'an, or a part of it, take extra care of the bag. Keep the bag slowly on the desk or floor instead of letting it fall on its own. Use both hands to remove the Qur'an from your bag, kiss the cover of the Qur'an, place it slowly on a desk (or on a wooden carrier specially built for holding the Qur'an) and open the pages gently.
3. When the Qur'an is being recited, listen to it and be attentive (7:204). If you are busy with something else then at least do not disturb the recitation by talking, for example, or making noise. There is reward for listening to the Qur'an. Imam Ali Zaynul 'Aabideen (a) said: Whoever listens to a letter of the book of Allah, the Glorious and Almighty, without even reading it, Allah will write down for him one good deed, forgive a sin, and raise him a degree.
It was the practice of unbelievers in Mecca to make a lot of noise so that others could not listen to the Qur'an (41:26). Do not be like them and instead lend your ears to the Qur'an and give it respect. We often wish that God would talk to us. One way to achieve this is by reading the Qur'an. Prophet Muhammad (S): said: Lo! Whoever has longing for Allah should listen to the word of Allah! Also, if you wish to talk to God then do Tilaawa. Prophet Muhammad (S) said: Whenever one of you would like to talk to his Lord, he should read the Qur'an.
4. The Qur'an should be recited regularly. It is disrespect to keep the Holy Qur'an unread. Prophet Muhammad (S) said: Brighten your homes with reciting Qur'an; do not turn them into graves. Surely the house in which a lot of recitation takes place enjoys many blessings and the members benefit from it. Such a household shines for the inhabitants of Heaven as stars shine to the inhabitants of the earth. On the Day of Judgment the Prophet will complain to Allah about some Muslims who had abandoned the Qur'an (25:30).
Another Hadith of the Prophet (S) says: Indeed hearts rust in the same way irons rust. He was asked: "What will polish the hearts?" The Prophet answered: Reading the Qur'an. The more Qur'an we read the better it is. We should discipline ourselves to read a good portion of Qur'an daily. Imam Ali (a) said: He who recites 100 verses daily from the Book in the order it is in, Allah writes for him the reward equal to all the good actions of every one on this earth. Shaytaan would like us not to read, understand and study the Qur'an. Let us fight him with all our strength and faith. Imam Ja'far As-Saadiq (a) said: There is nothing more unpleasant to Shaytaan than to see a man reading the Qur'an to gain insight.
5. Children should get familiarized with the Qur'an early in their lives. Imam as-Saadiq (AS) said: He who recites Qur'an while he is young, Qur'an mixes with his flesh and his blood, and Allah places him amongst the blessed and the chosen righteous. On the Day of Judgment, Qur'an shall become his defender and [pray for him a handsome reward.]
6. It is the right and respect of the Qur'an that it should be followed. Imam Ja'far Saadiq (a) said: Lo! One, who learns the Qur'an, teaches it and practices according to it, I will guide and lead him to Paradise.
7. It is also the right and respect of the Qur'an that those who have the knowledge of the Qur'an should teach it to others. This is among the noblest acts. Prophet Muhammad (S) said: The best of you is he who learns the Qur'an and teaches it.
8. Take the interpretations of the Qur'an from the Holy Prophet (S) and the Imams from his family, i.e. the Ahlul Bayt (a). Imam Hasan al-'Askaree quoting Prophet Muhammad said: Recite it (i.e. the Qur'an) as Allah gives you ten rewards for each letter that you recite from it. Then the Imam (a) said: Do you know who really holds fast to it and reaches to such honor and reward? He is the person who takes Qur'an and its interpretation from us Ahlul-Bayt (a) or from the deputies that we send to our followers, and takes its (interpretation) neither from the opinions of those who argue (on the speech of Allah) nor form the analogy of those who compare (different parts of the speech of Allah).
9. Once you have completed reading your lesson or referring to the Qur'an then close it gently instead of leaving it open.
10. Do not put another book or any weight above the Qur'an. The Holy Book should always be kept on the top in a pile of books.
11. It is Haraam (forbidden) to make Najaasaat (impure things like blood and urine) touch the Qur'an. In the event where the Qur'an becomes Najis, for instance if it falls in Najis water, it is Waajib (obligatory) to purify it (make it Taahir).
12. Old and worn out copies of the Qur'an should be disposed in safe places. This includes sending them for recycling, burying them in the earth or casting in rivers.
Manners of Reciting The Holy Qur'an
By now we know that the Qur'an is a special book and deserves respect. Now let us look at some of the manners of reciting the Qur'an. It is the right of the Tilaawa (recitation of the Qur'an) that we follow the rules when reciting the Qur'an.
1. Perform Wudhoo before you prepare to read the Qur'an. Allah says:
None can touch it (the Qur'an) save the purified ones (56:79).
Once Imam Ja'far As-Saadiq (a) asked his son Ismaa'eel to read the Qur'an. The latter said that he was not in Wudhoo. The Imam said in that case he could recite it but should not touch the writings of the Qur'an. Therefore, it is advisable to use a stick or pen to point to the words or sentences of the Qur'an you are reading if you are not in Wudhoo.
2. Read Du'aa before Tilaawa. Reading of the Du'aa helps to keep our focus and reminds us of what we need to take from the Holy Book. Ma'soomeen (a) have recommended a number of Du'aas. The Du'aa taught by Imam Ja'far As-Saadiq (a) appears in this booklet with Qur'an lessons.
3. Always say A'oodhubillaahi minash shaytaanir rajeem (اَعُوْذُبا اللهِ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ الرَّجِيْم) when you begin reading the Qur'an. It means: I seek refuge in Allah from the cursed Shaytaan. This is what Allah instructs us to do in Aayah 16:98.
4. Next say Bismillaahir rahmaanir raheem (بِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمنِ الرَّحِيْم ) The meaning of this phrase is: In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. Whenever Imam Moosaa Al-Kaazim (a) wished to make a point to Haroon Rasheed using Aayaat from the Qur'an, the Imam would begin with A'oodhubillaah . . . followed by Bismillaah . . .
5. Sit facing Qiblaah when reciting the Qur'an. Please note that this is the best direction to face. However where it may be difficult or impossible to face Qiblaah when reading the Qur'an (for example if your desk is facing another direction) then it is all right not to face the Qiblaah.
6. Recite the Qur'an with Tarteel as instructed by Allah in Aayah 73:4. This means that we should recite the Qur'an in a good voice with rhythm instead of plain reading.
7. Recite the Qur'an slowly Allah said to the Prophet:
do not move your tongue with it (Qur'an) to make haste therein (75:16).
The aayaat of the Qur'an should be recited in slow tones with each word being pronounced clearly. The Prophet (S) advised Muslims not be concerned about finishing a Soorah when reciting the Qur'an.
8. Be Humble when reciting the Qur'an. The Prophet (S) says that the best recitor is he who is humble when reciting the Qur'an and realizes his own insignificance. Some people exhibit their insignificance and the awe of talking to Allah through weeping. This is a good sign. Prophet Muhammad (S) said: Eyes that weep when reciting the Qur'an will be shining with delight on the Day of Resurrection.
9. Try to understand the recitation. Holy Qur'an is a book of Guidance (2:2). It is necessary for us to understand the message Allah sent all people through Prophet Muhammad (S).
10. Read from the Qur'an by looking at the writings instead of reciting from your memory. In a Hadith from one of our Imams it is said that mere looking at the writings of the Qur'an carries reward.
11. Interact with the Qur'an. Imam Ja'far As-Saadiq (a) says that it is important to react to the aayaat of the Qur'an when reciting it. When we come across aayaat on Paradise, Mercy and Grace of Allah, Good Outcome in the hereafter, we should hope for these in our hearts. On the other hand if we are reading aayaat that warn us about the punishment, fire, Hell, etc. we should pray to be saved from these.
12. Open your heart and mind to the Qur'an and ponder over what you read. Allah often invites us to think and ponder over the contents of the Qur'an. In Surah Muhammad Allah says:
Do they not then think deeply in the Qur'an, or are their hearts locked up? (47:24)
13. Perform Sajdah where required to do so In the entire Qur'an there are 15 places where performing of Sajdah is required. At 4 places it is Waajib (obligatory) to do Sajdah if we were to read or listen to these sections of the Qur'an. For the rest of the places it is Mustahab (recommended) to do Sajdah.
14. Say Sadqallaahul 'Aliyyul 'Azeem (صَدَقَ اللهُ العَلِيُّ العَظِيْمُ) every time you end a recitation of the Qur'an. The meaning of this phrase is: Allah, the Sublime, the Great, is truthful in what He has said
15. Read one of the Du'aas after Tilaawa. The Ma'soomeen have taught a number of Du'aas, from these two have been included with Qur'an lessons. In these Du'aas, amongst other things, we pray to the Almighty to enlighten us through the Qur'an and make us follow the teachings of the Qur'an.

A picnic is a satanic ritual often practiced by small children and puppies to invoke the demon thief, Yogi Bear who is best known for conspiring with the Smurfs to cause the communist television revolution of 1929. Picnics are often organized around wooden altars in public places and are banned in several countries including Hyrule.
Origin[edit | edit source]
The Picnic was created by doctor Joseph Barbera when, in a spur of madness, he decided to attempt to bring a bear back to life on a public table. His materials were little more than a felt tip pen and an Atari 2600 however he succeeded despite the odds and created what is now one of the most popular television personalities in the world. It is reported by many historians that the bear then stole the basket which Barbera carried his tools in and then vanished into the woods. Picnics are now held throughout the world on December 25 (often confused with the birth of Christ) to commemorate the act.
Ants[edit | edit source]
Any sane person attempting to have a picnic will pack ants. Because of the abundance of food you must bring to a picnic, you will need ants to help carry it for you. Especially the watermellon.
Tools[edit | edit source]
The tools used in modern picnics range from Apple Cores to Condoms ( Usually picnics involving only 2 persons tend to end up reproducing, ignoring the general public ), however they are always carried in a small basket with a handle and must include a blanket, at least one sandwich and possibly a boiled egg. Enthusiasts are known to weigh the basket down with lead to keep it from being stolen. The greatest asset to a picnicker is his wits. These are most commonly used for singing and looking for one's glasses.
A common song about picnics follows:
|If you go down to the woods today
You're sure of a big surprise. If you go down to the woods today You'd better go in disguise. For ev'ry bear that ever there was Will gather there for certain, because Today's the day the teddy bears have their picnic. Ev'ry teddy bear who's been good Is sure of a treat today. There's lots of marvelous things to eat And wonderful games to play. Beneath the trees where nobody sees FJUCK AM I DRUNKEDF OR WHAT!!!!
Famous Picnickers[edit | edit source]
Most people are aware that Ranger John is a devout picnicker, but there are a number of other well-known closet picnickers in public office, such as George W. Bush, Princess Zelda, and Moses. In addition, there are many devotees of the picnic within the entertainment industry, including Michael Jackson, Baskin Robbins, the entire The Wiire staff, Ronald McDonald, Little Red Riding Hood, and Tom Cruise.

The Pentagon has begun laying off 46,000 contract and temporary civilian employees in an effort to cut back on military spending, the No. 2 Pentagon official said on Friday.
Full time civilian employees, which number in the hundreds of thousands, also will be furloughed for one day a week for 22 weeks, Deputy Defense Secretary Ash Carter said in an interview with wire service reporters.
His comments were confirmed by a Pentagon spokesman.
The moves are part of a Defense Department effort to reduce spending given the potential for billions in mandatory cuts beginning as early as this spring should Congress fail to reach a deal on deficit reduction.
Defense Secretary Leon Panetta ordered military services to begin implementing cost cutting measures to mitigate the risk of the cuts to the military budget should no congressional deal emerge.
Panetta said earlier this month that he had asked services to begin "prudent" measures, which included curtailing maintenance for non-critical activities and delaying hiring.
The measures must be "reversible" and minimize harmful effects on military readiness, Panetta said.

Mi experiencia con el SAT INDESIT fue una primera ocasión en la que en periodo de garantía el aparato dejó de funcionar, ni tan siquiera encendía el testigo de funcionamiento, y cuando vino el técnico, con gran vergüenza por mi parte, me mostró cómo se había desenchufado. El técnico SAT oficial me dijo que me tenia que cobrar el desplazamiento mas 1/2 hora que era lo mínimo, y lo dijo como con apuro, pero entiendo que tenia que hacerlo.

Why dont they put the Senate and House and all Congressman on the same Health Plans that the rest of the Government or non Goverment are on instead of having a special Health Plan for themselves? How about the misc budgets that they get? House members receive an allowance for personnel (up to $922,350) and another allowance for "ordinary and necessary" business expenses related to their duties, including travel ($250,512 in 2009), according to the Congressional Research Service. In the 2010 financial year, Senators received between $128,585 and $465,919 for office expenses. This number is based on the distance between Washington, D.C. and the Senator's home state, the population of the state, and other factors.
There are so many ways to cut the budget.

Close the borders, lets start exporting all the illegals. Give the jobs back to Americans and end all the handouts. You want to collect Welfare, pee in a cup and pass the test, just like I have to do as a Government worker. No buying alcohol, cigarettes, candy or junk food. Essentials only.
We can all go on and on about ways to save money. Cut defense, go ahead, lets see what kind of mess that puts us in.
It's about time – too much lard at the Pentagon.
BTW, I hope folks realize the DoD is not the only agency being cut. Education and other services are getting hit too. Folks complain about govt spending. Well, we're about to see what happens when govt stops spending. The economy well shrink – a lot. Of course there's a balance but our Congress will never put country before self. I recommend those of you who have 401Ks/investments move your money into a safe fund for a while. I believe the economy is about to drop.
I'm sure Al Queda and other enemies are licking their chops. This move will not only hit the US economy but it will EVENTUALLY impact our readiness. Not right away, but in time. The DoD is hurting from cuts already taken. I'm buying my own office supplies – yeh, its that bad where I work. Of course for those of you who work in DoD, I'm sure you're also emptying your own garbage as we at our base. I'm willing to buy my own office supplies and empty my garbage however they're the cuts are becoming very counterproductive.
Hey there, You've performed a fantastic job. I'll certainly digg it and in my opinion suggest to my friends. I'm sure they will be benefited from this web site. lägenhet på östermalm https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZFcwLGOFFgw

What I find TRULY disturbing is....I just discovered that the ARMY at one of the camps in AF just bought PALLETS of espresso makers and coffee pods. Ummm...waste much? How about the 60" flat screen TV's in EVERY tent? What about laying off the contractors that cost the taxpayers $500-800K annually EACH? How about ELIMINATING the culture that if an agency RETURNS money at the end of the year, then their POM for out years is penalized by having their budgets slashed? Do you KNOW how much WASTEFUL spending is done just because agencies believe they HAVE to spend it or lose their budget next year? I have spent 18 years as a civilian serving my country doing my best to go above and beyond what is written in my job description. And the reward us CIVILIANS [not contractors] receive for all our hard work, continued loyalty, and dedication is....zero pay raise for the past 3 years, no monetary or time off awards, AND now...we get to have at least a 10 percent (VERY significant) pay cut, which affects not only our income, but our future retirement benefits as well! Instead of cutting off your loyal supporters, STOP buying espresso machines for the guys in the field and layoff non mission critical contractors! Oh, and you guys at the Pentagon...start kicking the butts of every Congressional and Senate "leader" for being the MOST ineffective is history. They should ALL be fired!
America is the root of all terror. America has invaded sixty countries since world war 2.
In 1953 America overthrow Iran's democratic government Mohammad Mosaddegh and installed a brutal dictator Shah. America helped Shah of Iran to establish secret police and killed thousands of Iranian people.
During Iran-Iraq war evil America supported Suddam Hossain and killed millions of Iranian people. In 1989, America, is the only country ever, shot down Iran's civilian air plane, killing 290 people.
In 2003,America invaded Iraq and killed 1,000,000+ innocent Iraqi people and 4,000,000+ Iraqi people were displaced.
Now America is a failed state with huge debt. Its debt will be 22 trillion by 2015.
And you would be............ummm...........Iranian ?
very interesting news that we need the man power, with our all technological powers. We cannot apply anything instead of human power.
If budgets have to be cut by X% to reduce the defecit, then do this across the board INCLUDING foreign aid! This will solve a lot of issues here in the US! If we can't afford to take care if the U.S., then we can't afford to take care of the world.
Expect that 46,000 newly unemployed to be ignored by The Great Obama.
What in the hell takes 46,000 workers at the Pentagon in the first place?
Hello, Neat post. There is an issue with your website in web explorer, could test this? IE nonetheless is the marketplace leader and a large element of other people will omit your fantastic writing due to this problem.

Sad only for the contractors. I've been working for the government for a long time but how many of the employees actually do something? I mean really. Off every week. Go to work late, come home early. Sit and do absolutely nothing alllll day long and delegate jobs to the real people that do work. I mean 46,000 is what an estimated 2-5 milion per year? so what does this actually save from trom the Trillion Dollar debt america has as a whole?
I really believe more than not work really hard in their positions. I know my husband puts in very long hours. He gets no overtime, he puts it in because he does the job of 5 people. Our base has been going through layoffs and deleting jobs for the past 2 years.
I agree that there are some of these people who slack off all the time, but many of them lost their jobs at the end of 2012. They just weren't renewed. 46,000 is a lot of people, especially in areas where the primary job is a military installation. These people will go on to unemployment, which comes from the federal government, too. That's not saving money.
I do agree that they should target some GS-12-14's. It would save a lot more money, however, I do not see that happening. They are also cutting travel, which, believe it or not, will save loads. And, I do think CNN has it wrong, it's not one day a week for 22 days, it's spread out longer. That's only if they do not cut enough. However, 22 days without pay, is very rough, even if it is spread out
46K employees is more like $3B per year
Reblogged this on World Chaos.
They need to start laying off the SES service, GM/GS 14s and above, probalby half of them could go and no one would miss a beat. Then they need to start spending money realistically instead of hording it all year then purchasing unneeded goods and contracts at the end of the year. And they do need to replace overpaid contractors with government workers. All I heard before my retirement was how contractors were going to lose 15% of their pay if they were forced into the federal workforce. But that's too realistic for the DoD. And by the way, this has been going on almost every year I worked for the DoD.
I feel sorry for the people who are losing jobs. However, I'd be willing to bet the military will function just fine without them. I am surprised layoffs are only now taking place. I would have expected some (though maybe not 46,000) following our withdrawal from Iraq since the Pentagon must have had quite a few people dedicated to support functions for that war. I also expect some of the 46,000 have been engaged in support for the war in Afghanistan from which we are withdrawing.
I'll also bet that as the 46,000 enter the ranks of the jobless, it won't be long before the Republicans try to place the entire responsibility for any up tic in the jobless numbers resulting from this on President Obama.
Actually, cutting jobs on military installations have been taking place for over the last 2 years. There have always been more civilians working on a military intallation than military members. It frees up the military members for mobility. Not every job will be missed; however there are jobs that are important and will be passed to someone else.

@ Big Shiz:
Come on Big Shiz . . . .quit the hating . . . . I'm a gay zine-0-ist . . . remember our night in the tel-aviv motel . . . . remember the sheep? Yeah, quit the hating . . . .you liked it . . . . . so are you still mad at me?
Heeeee-hawwww! gitty-up big shiz . . . . you like it when I ride you . . . . . . heeee-haw!
Bibi every time you pretend to be Jewish you prophet see's you. He already knows your gay.
Hey Jannani,
I guess you also have a problem with what happened to Osama Bin Laden? Understand one thing about American values...we must always hold onto our core beliefs no matter how difficult...what changes is the world and the people in it. America will always be the greatest country in the world and that's not because of debt, resourses or riches because the USA will never be a failed state! See it's our core beliefs that propels us to the top of the mountain. Nothing else. While no country in this world if free from flawed missions (ie. invasion of Iraq), what distinguishes us from others is that our men and women freely of their own will dedicate their lives for the freedoms of our country and the freedom of every other human being in every country in this world that's unable to protect themselves. That's what flows from the veins of MOST Americans in the good ole USA!!!! God Bless America!
Your a freaking moron Jumongi!!!!!!
We need to start cutting welfare programs, teach them to rely on themselves, and drug test. We also need to not pay government officials as much. Firing a bunch of hard working people isnt going to help THE PEOPLE. We need to focus on getting our country in order and less on the agendas of the corrupt government. Right now I pay into the social security system and I will not be able to use it when I am old because it is failing. In my early twenties I am already making plans for retirement. I will support myself instead of expecting the government to make plans for my retirement and I will retire comfortable at 60.
46,000 jobs that should have never existed in the first place. Government waste should be a major focus of the Obama administration.
Hey, JohnParry-Jones . . . .We're not sure if we like what you are saying . . . .your comments makes too much sense . . . and we like our American sheep stu-pud 'er. Knock it off . . . .if any true American Patriot gets to reading your post, they might get to think'n and if they start to think . . . that could spell trouble for us zine-oists in israelies.
Just watch more TV, play with you iPhones, and log on Facebook and Twitter so we know who you are and who your friends are and what you are doing. . . . .we like it when you are stu-pud . . . so knock it off!
I believe these are things that the military is PREPARED to do. I work at a military installation and we have not been ordered to begin any of these procedures.
Also, the furlough time-frame is not what we've heard. We've been told it will be one work day a pay period, not a week.
But, hey, CNN got it first. Why let facts get in the way of a good story?
Then again, the order could come down this afternoon, who knows?
Great, 42k more workers on the unemployment line. Thanks Goober
Too bad it's the lower paid grunts instead of the Overpaid, Useless, Executive types that get laid off. Hahahahahahahaa
Hahahahahaha . . . .we had to do it. Hahahahahaha . . . . we had to make some cuts to appease a few goyim trouble makers in congress . . . . .but you can bet there will never be cuts to the money you stu-pud 'er americans send us every year . . . and that's includes all the money spent to protect us with boots on the ground in the Middle East.
Hahahahahaha . . . . . .we laugh at you while we drink wine and eat bagels. We are the zine-0-ist of israel and we are your masters . . . . .just keep your hard-earned tax dollars coming in . . . .we love free money.
Just stay stu-pud'er . . . .it is how we like our cattle/goyim . . . . . watch more TV . . . .play with your iPhones . . . . log on to facebook and twitter so we know who you are and who your friends are and what you are doing . . . . Hahahahahaha . . . . . what's dumber than stup-pud . . . .the answer: STU-PUD 'ER! . . . . especially STU-PUD 'ER Americans!!!!
Bibi that's not your name,you got some type of Muslim name. What's it like to be gay and Muslim? What do's your family think of you?
the price of paying for 2 wars that should have been funded up front.
This is what I call a step in the right direction. I'd much rather see that money going to better our education, health and welfare instead of all these useless and unnecessary wars!
You really believe the money will be going for things like education. rotflmao. I got a cheap bridge I want to sell you. The federal government is spending 3.8 TRILLION dollars a year. The Federal Government indexes in automatic increases in spending. The federal government easily wastes 50% of everything it gets its hands on. Iraq was a huge "cash cow" for for defense contractors. Even the DoD IG figured that one out. Billions just vanish and that doesn't include what was looted in cash and gold from Iraq.
Here's a simple solution for the federal government. Simply stop forcing departments to spend every nickel they are given each year. Stop buying crap you don't need to replace just to make the money disappear. But that would support the philosophy of the federal government which is "Money Must Be Spent" .
The price of piece.
I wish not all countries would adopt this war is for peace statement. Otherwise, we would have World War "N" right now.

I think I have finally arrived. No, I don't have my own Wikipedia entry, but I do have my own Mahalo page. Mahalo bills itself as "human-powered search," though this page seems to have been auto-generated. But that doesn't distract from the glowing pride I now feel about being famous, or at least famouser than I was. After all, I bet you don't have your own Mahalo page, now do you? Considering what an Internet phenomenon all Bivens-Tatums are, you might want to "claim" that page and make yourself up to $50 a month!
What's great is all the things I get to learn about myself. I knew all the stuff in the links. I have a blog and a couple of articles in the U. of Nebraska digital commons. After seeing the link, I remember that at some point in the past I joined Linkedin. And I still work at Princeton. Three of the images are even of me, and one of the other images bears a striking resemblance to a former colleague, who is also a male academic librarian with glasses and a beard. There aren't many of those around, so that's probably close enough.
However, I was somewhat surprised to see that my "products and merchandise" included two calculus books by Howard Anton. Considering how expensive they are, I should be getting some profit on those, and you can be sure I'll be contacting Wiley just as soon as I finish this post.
I was even more surprised to find the "Mahalo Answers for wayne bivens tatum." "What do you think of Jacob Wayne Peacocks art?" This must really be a Mahalo question for me, and my answer would have to be, I don't think about it at all, since I have no idea who he is. I don't feel too bad, because he probably has no idea who I am, either. There are three questions about someone or something called Lil Wayne, including, "What do you think about Lil Wayne making a rock record?" When I hear Little Wayne, the first mental association is with Little Elvis (def. 1), and I really don't want to think about Little Wayne making a rock record, or performing at the Grammys for that matter.
The Google ads seems spot-on, too. Elderly home care near Fort Wayne, IN is definitely something I might be interested in one day if I'm ever elderly and living in Fort Wayne. And if I were in Wayne, MI, a back specialist might be just the thing. I do suffer from a touch of lumbago occasionally, and being in Wayne, MI might set it off, especially if I had to drive all the way there. The 8-hour calculus dvd tutor would probably do me good, since I know bugger all about calculus, which no doubt surprises you given my relationship to the two calculus books I mentioned earlier.
This year I've been doing workshops on emerging search technologies, and Mahalo has figured in them all. I'm happy that now I'll have a page to show the audience as an example of all that Mahalo is capable of. All in all, I have to say I'm as impressed by Mahalo as I've ever been.

North Attleborough student acquitted of threat charge
Patrick Skrabec accused of threatening to shoot up school
A jury has acquitted a North Attleborough High School student of threatening to shoot up his school.
Patrick Skrabec, who spent six days in jail over the Christmas holiday after his arrest in 2012 when he was 17, was found not guilty Thursday of threatening to commit a crime and disturbing a school assembly after a two-day trial and 45 minutes of jury deliberations.
Prosecutors say he made his comments in a math class in December 2012. He said it was a private joke between friends.
His lawyers say he had no access to guns, no history of discipline problems, and no criminal record.
The Sun Chronicle reports that his father, Neil Skrabec, said police and prosecutors should be "embarrassed and ashamed" for what they put the family through.

- Tue, Jun 2, 2015, 2:58 AMHello!
The manual is?
- Fri, Apr 14, 2017, 6:53 PMThe installation of the Plugin works fine. However, when I want to add a new quiz then the option "Adaptive mode (multi-part questions)" is not shown in the "How questions behave" selection field. First I thought that I did something wrong, but then I tried another qbehaviour Plugins (Deferred feedback with explanation; Deferred feedback (all or nothing)). Though, for this two other qbehaviour Plugins everything works fine and the options are shown in the "How questions behave" selection field. Does anyone else have the same problem? For me it seems that it is a problem with the Plugin since the other two Plugins work perfectly. Can you solve this issue?
- Wed, Apr 19, 2017, 7:53 PMSome question behaviours are designed to add new options that the user can select in the quiz settings. Other behaviours, like this one, exist just to support particular quesition types. This behaviour is used by the STACK question type (and a few others) when Adaptive behaviour is selected in the UI.
- Mon, Apr 23, 2018, 8:05 PMHello,
will there be a 3.4 Version of this Plugin?
Best regards
- Mon, May 9, 2022, 4:57 PMHello,
Do you plan a release for Moodle 4.0 ?
if so, when will it be published?
Thanks you
- Mon, May 9, 2022, 8:05 PMI strongly suspect the code for this plugin will work in Moodle 4.0. (If you try it, please let us know what you find).
Which question type do you need this for?
This plugin was origianlly created for the STACK question type. Updating STACK to work with Moodle 4.0 will be a bigger job, and that is were we will probably focus.

I am a sucker for milestones and anniversaries. Especially long period of time ones sometimes bring a tear to my eye. But a happy kind of tear.
March through June are both fun and emotional for me for that very reason. First and foremost this June 18th is Lee's and my 8th wedding anniversary. (She'll be proud of me for remembering that LOL).
We married in a old stone chapel in the Ar. Mountains to which one had to hike, there was no road to it. She found it on a solo hike 9 years ago and came home yelling, "I found our chapel. I found our wedding chapel). Until she took me there (by foot), I hadn't a clue what I was about to find.
Our Wedding Chapel
It was a charming 100 year old stone building in the middle of nowhere. Nature surrounded us. It was/is us. We hike back to it each year.
When we chose that day (it was our second pick), the 19th being our first, we had no idea
it was Autism Pride Day or even that I was/am Autistic. Lee sort of had a clue given she'd worked in high-tech many years around the world in the early days of technology. She's still a wiz at it, even given all the changes. Back then HTML was considered high-tech. I still love her more than ever.
By the way I was not diagnosed for autism until 2015 at age 60. It was hidden from me as a child (was not diagnosed) and I was given an "attic bedroom" far away from the family core; quite a frightening way to live, with autism, at age six-age through age 17 (basically imprisoned with controlled friends). I am vocal about it because, a lot of parents, later entire families, and finally entire communities disown their autistics (or different) children. My greatest hopes are to help lessen this obscenity. I know I cannot alleviate it. But it is a form of torture and I plan to speak out. Whenever the opportunity avails itself.
Future children/later adults need not suffer like that, now that we know what it is, and was. It is well past time to get past the years of character assassination of "those who are different", and often those of us who are autistic, fall into that league. Autism is who we are. It's not a disease or ailment. It's like being green-eyed or left-handed. There's nothing inherently wrong with it any more than there is neurotypical people.
Monday, March 19th is also the 21st anniversary of the day I launched Londons Times Cartoons (LTCartoons.com) in 1997. Most folks by now know the story of my living in a tin shed with no heat or air and only cold running water (for over a year). Electricity was installed and I bought a big old used IBM Clone 396 computer for several hundred dollars and a book "Internet For Dummies". And my trusty rescue dog "Thor". I had $300 more or less.
Thank you to all the wonderful souls who have been with me through this journey. There were times when I was certain it would not work, I'd stop knowledge of what I've learned, or people would simply forget about me. None of that has happened, and the works I have done have grown dramatically.
Thor The Wonderdog
I've published 4 cartoon compilation kindle books and one coffee table one available at bookstores worldwide. I have about 4500 full-color cartoons on my website. I woke up one day in early January 2005 and my site was #65 ranked on Alexa.com. While that didn't last long, it stayed the #1 ranked offbeat cartoon (on both Google and Bing); it sometimes fluctuates to #2 but that's okay given there's about 10,000 offbeat cartoon properties competing for that spot on any given day. However 8 million people had visited my main website and now it's closer to 8 million and 188K. It surprised me (possibly more than it does anyone else). It all definitely went beyond my bucket list.
Hemingway once quoted, "A man's got to take a lot of punishment to write a really funny book." I might add, "…And write several more really funny books to be humbled by the blessings I have received".
And if all that were not enough, we've got Amazon Prime and Netflix and the occasional GMO-Free Popcorn. Life is good.
To see my main site ranked Google & Bing #1 Offbeat Cartoons click here. Most suggest to then click on "New Toons". You can find our most popular recent strange cartoons on Instagram here. To shop there's several stores. Let me suggest this one which is Rick London Gifts full of comic tees, mugs, cards, bags, jewelry, home and office and plenty of other stuff.

Thursday, 29 September 2011 01:25 PM EDT
The economy is showing signs of modest improvement — not enough to reduce high unemployment but enough to ease fears that another recession might be near.
Fewer people applied for unemployment benefits last week, though some of that was due to technical factors. And the economy grew slightly more in the April-June quarter than previously estimated. Growth is also expected to tick up in coming months.
Investors drew some hope from the latest data, as well as from news that Germany's government approved a plan to bolster Europe's response to its debt crisis. The Dow Jones industrial average surged 163 points in mid-day trading.
Other news Thursday was less encouraging. Chief executives of the nation's largest companies are more pessimistic than they were just three months ago, according to a survey by a trade group, the Business Roundtable.
Only about one-third of the CEOs said they plan to hire or boost spending in the next six months. That's down from about half who said so in June.
And fewer Americans signed contracts to buy homes in August, the second straight month of declines. The National Association of Realtors said its index of sales agreements fell 1.2 percent to 88.6. A reading of 100 is considered healthy.
The economy expanded at an annual rate of 1.3 percent in the April-June quarter, up from an estimate of 1 percent made a month ago, the Commerce Department said. The improvement reflected modestly higher consumer spending and a bigger boost from trade.
Even so, the economy grew at an annual rate of just 0.9 percent in the first six months of the year. That's the weakest six-month performance since the recession ended more than two years ago.
Most economists don't expect another recession, but they also don't see growth accelerating much. Many predict a rebound to between 2 percent and 2.5 percent growth in the current quarter.
"Growth remains sluggish and insufficient to reduce the unemployment rate," Ryan Sweet, an economist at Moody's Analytics, said in a note to clients.
The unemployment rate was stuck at 9.1 percent in August for the second straight month. Employers didn't add any jobs in August — the weakest showing in nearly a year.
Even though growth has probably strengthened a bit in the July-September quarter, the economy suffered shocks that will restrain growth in the final quarter of this year, economists say.
In August, consumer confidence plunged after lawmakers battled over raising the government's borrowing limit and Standard & Poor's cut its rating on long-term U.S. debt. That sent the stock market sharply lower, which hurts consumers' ability to spend.
Retail sales were flat in August, a sign the turmoil caused consumers to pull back.
Businesses and investors are also worried that Europe won't be able to prevent Greece from defaulting and worsening the region's debt crisis. Those fears sent the U.S. stock market down 6.4 percent last week, its biggest weekly loss since October 2008, in the midst of the financial crisis.
If Greece defaults, that could destabilize other indebted countries, such as Portugal, Ireland and Italy. It could also harm many of Europe's banks, which own Greek debt.
And if European banks hoard cash to make up for their losses and stop lending to their U.S. counterparts, that could restrict credit in the United States and slow the economy. And a financial crisis in Europe would reduce U.S. companies' exports and sales to the region.
The slow growth and turmoil have raised fears that the U.S. economy could enter another recession. Some economists put the odds as high as 40 percent.
Weekly applications dropped 37,000 to a seasonally adjusted 391,000, the Labor Department said Thursday. That's the lowest level since April 2 and the first time applications have fallen below 400,000 since Aug. 6.
Some of the improvement was due to technical factors related to the seasonal adjustment of the data, a Labor Department spokesman said. The spokesman also said some states reported higher applications in previous weeks due to Hurricane Irene.
As a result, the drop in applications for unemployment benefits "may not be as encouraging as it looks," said Paul Dales, an economist at Capital Economics. "Further falls will be needed before we can conclude a downward trend is under way."

Researchers at the Universidad Carlos III in Madrid (UC3M) have designed a system that speeds up online administrative procedures by automatically verifying and validating printed electronic documents, a process that had been done manually up until now.
Investigadores de la Universidad Carlos III de Madrid (UC3M) han diseñado un sistema que agiliza los trámites administrativos online al verificar de forma automática y validar los documentos electrónicos impresos, un proceso que hasta ahora se realiza manualmente.
With the law known as Ley 11/2007, regarding citizens' electronic access to public services, going into effect, electronic documents have gained full legal validity. When a document of this type is printed out, it must be accompanied by its Código Seguro de Verificación (CSV- Secure Verification Code), which is validated in the central office or on the web page of each entity. And each body usually has it own CSV generator and its own validation page, which slows down electronic bureaucratic procedures that involve various entities.
"The purpose of this project is for our system to become the only one needed to generate and validate universal and officially approved CSVs for all the different public administrations in Spain," say the creators of Valid@doc, a multidisciplinary team of engineers, and jurists directed by Antonio de Amescua, tenured professor of computer science at UC3M, and led by Pilar Aránzazu Herráez and Javier García Guzmán.
Valid@doc speeds up bureaucratic procedures that involve several public entities. "Normally, the civil servants have to manually check each document one by one, access the web page of the emitting entity, determine whether or not the information the document contains is accurate and then certify it," comment the researchers.
With the tool that they have designed, it is possible to automatically read the CSV from an authentic paper copy, pull the corresponding original electronic document from the emitting entity's repository of electronic files so that it can make a comparison and confirm its authenticity and entirety.
More secure cooperation among administrations
This system has been recognized as one of the best consolidated projects related to interoperability and security by the IV Congreso Nacional de Interoperabilidad y Seguridad (CNIS 2014 – the IV National Congress on Interoperability and Security), which will be held on the 19th and 20th of February in Madrid, and in which the researchers will present their findings.
These include a proposal for best practices for unification in the creation, presentation and automated reading of the CSV of electronic documents by Spanish public administrations. In fact, Valid@doc has been designed to resolve critical issues in the system, which were identified thanks to a study of electronic documents from one hundred of the most representative head public offices in Spain, as well as of the handling of those documents in the registry area of the Leganés city hall.
"The city government's collaboration with the University has allowed us to test our project in a real and practical scenario, especially at a time when the administrations are in a period of transition, moving from a traditional model of public services to the current one, which requires citizens to have electronic access to those services," comments Pilar Aránzazu Herráez.
Thus, the project is now in a testing phase. According to the researchers, the next step will be to attempt to validate the system in general administration offices of the national government. "After that, and once we have that "know how", we will be able to put the tool into use in a more formal way in various different administrations," points out Javier García Guzmán, of UC3M's Computer Science Department. "That would be when the creation of a single official area for CSV validation would go from being a challenge to becoming a reality that would position Spain in the lead in the field of electronic administration," he concludes.
Moreover, according to the researchers, this system would resolve the current problem of having an automatic, unified validation for all public administration. The new model in use allows us to conjure up the real danger of a break in the chain of legality of the printed documents whose original is an electronic document with CSV, since in many cases they are treated as simple photocopies.
The unification of criteria in the generation and presentation of the CSV will allow greater usability, accessibility and security for the administration as well as for the public. "It will be much faster, given that any citizen will be able to access a single head office, and will not have to look for that of every emitting entity, which held the risk of having to guarantee the legal validity of each and every one of those individual head offices", explains Pilar Aránzazu Herráez.

Another sign that it's not Urban Meyer's team anymore:
Florida is spending more on assistants than it is on first-year head coach Will Muschamp.
The Gators have committed $3.05 million to Muschamp's nine-man coaching staff in 2011, according to contracts released Friday.
Offensive coordinator Charlie Weis signed a three-year deal worth $2.465 million. He will earn $765,000 in 2011, then $850,000 the next two years. Defensive coordinator Dan Quinn signed a two-year deal worth $1 million. He will get $490,000 in 2011, then $510,000 the following year…
Ol' Charlie's not making Malzahn money, but he's doing alright there. I believe that makes him the third highest paid assistant coach in the SEC.
Not only that, but it looks like almost all of Florida's staff works under multi-year deals now (a trend that did start under Meyer). I wonder if that's something Greg McGarity will be forced to react to down the road.

We've made fun in past of Wicked Lasers and their vast inventory of seemingly useless laser devices. Now, at long last, it seems we've found a legitimate excuse for playing with out lasers.
A team of researchers from Leibniz University, in Hannover, Germany, is hard at work on a sophisticated laser that is able to isolate and kill the weeds invading your garden. (Alright, so we aren't actually talking about Wicked Lasers' product line, but still.) The gardening laser project is still in development—but, once complete, it could mean a drastic reduction in the use of potentially harmful and toxic weed-killers and herbicides.
Targeting the weed base acutely with the laser whose intensity has been exactly matched is crucial, explains project leader Prof. Thomas Rath of the Institute of Biological Productive Systems, because it has been shown that using a laser of too low an intensity can actually stimulate weed growth—the opposite of the result desired.
Right now, the primary challenge for the team has been to accurately target the plats to be destroyed. A piece of software the measures the contours of each plant and optimally positions the laser on each weed species was created after using cameras to record the plants.
The current system is able to treat only about a square meter of growth in a greenhouse, from its position mounted on a rail, but the team is hopeful that with further development the gardening laser will be able to work on a much larger scale and run a rail so as to target and kill all invasive growth.

Great New Camcorder from Sony - First consumer priced 4K video camcorder
04.09.2013 16:01
New Sony Professional Camcorder
Sony FDR-AX1 Digital 4K Video Camera Recorder $4,499.99 is now Availabler
- Record 4K 3840 x 2160p Video at 60 fps
- 1/2.3" Exmor R 8.3MP CMOS Image Sensor
- Sony G Lens with 20x Optical Zoom
- Built-In Microphone & Dual Pro XLR Jacks
- Dual XQD Card Slots for 4K Recording
- XAVC-S Format for 150 Mbps 4K Recording
- Three ND Filters & Five Paint Functions
- Independent Zoom, Focus & Iris Rings
- Seven Assignable Buttons & HDMI Output
- Supports TRILUMINOS Color Technology
The Sony FDR-AX1 Digital 4K Video Camera Recorder is the first consumer 4K video camera from Sony. They've used the technology developed for their professional video cameras to create a compact, easy-to-operate 4K consumer model that's designed to make 4K video and professional-quality audio available to the masses.
The FDR-AX1's powerful image processor is identical to the high-performance processors found in Sony's professional video cameras. By incorporating an image processor that can handle 4K video at 60 fps into a consumer camcorder, everyone will be able to document important family moments, get creative with friends, record sporting events and capture the world around them in lifelike detail. The FDR-AX1's native 3840 x 2160 4K resolution enables you to create movies with four times as much detail and quadruple the image quality of a Full HD 1080p camcorder. Plus, this model features a back-illuminated 8.3MP Exmor R CMOS image sensor that works in concert with the processor so you can record at the maximum frame rate - even when shooting 4K video. This means that even your high-speed action shots and sports videos will be clear, sharp and detailed.
In order to provide 4K video recording in a consumer model, Sony designed the FDR-AX1 to support the XAVC-S 4K/HD recording format which is usually reserved for professional applications. However, since the XAVC-S codec will save as an MP4 wrapper, you can still create web-friendly videos that can be easily shared on social media sites like YouTube. Another highlight of the XAVC-S recording format is its ability to record images at 150 Mbps in 4K. In fact, it can record images at 50 Mbps even when you're shooting in Full HD 1920 x1080 resolution. The FDR-AX1 has also adopted a more professional-type of recording media thanks to the inclusion of dual next-generation XQD media card slots. Both XQD card slots support fast 4K/HD writing and reading rates. Plus, you can use the relay recording function to switch between XQD slots and lengthen your recording time. You'll also be able to quickly transfer footage via SuperSpeed USB 3.0 from your XQD cards to your PC by using an optional XQD reader/writer with a USB 3.0 connection.
Another feature that makes the FDR-AX1 a professional-class consumer video camera is its audio recording capability. It records 2-channel Linear PCM audio with a built-in high-performance stereo microphone.
However, the camera also features dual integrated professional-class XLR audio inputs for connecting external microphones. You'll even be able to mix audio tracks from the internal microphone with the audio recorded from any connected external mics. There are a variety of shot-enhancing functions and manual control options as well. More experienced videographers will be able to take advantage of the independent zoom, focus and iris rings. Plus, the camera's viewfinder and LCD monitor employ Peaking, Zebra and Center Marker functionality for more advanced shot setup and autofocus options.
Other image-enhancing features include three ND filters and five unique Paint functions, which will help you achieve a more cinematic aesthetic with your movies. The FDR-AX1 has flexible connectivity options as well. Besides the XLR audio inputs, the camera is equipped with a headphone jack, an HDMI output that will transfer 4K footage to compatible 4K Bravia TVs, a USB 2.0 port for fast data transfers, an analog A/V output, an accessory shoe and more. With the flexible connectivity options, professional-class features, 4K recording capability and ease-of-use, the FDR-AX1 bridges the gap between consumer and professional-class. While experienced videographers will be able to really produce great video and audio with this model, even ambitious beginners will be able to master this camera and capture professional looking, cinematic 4K video with ultra-clear stereo audio.
- Capture 4K 3840 x 2160p Video at 60 fps
- This model supports 4K 3840 x 2160 resolution. With four times better than Full HD 1080p image quality, you'll be able to capture the finest details at high resolution and produce vibrant, realistic images. Plus, the fast image processor is the same one employed in professional Sony models, making it possible to record 60p movies at the camera's full resolution for smooth playback with no loss in realism - even when panning the camera and shooting moving subjects.
- Sony G Lens with 20x Zoom
- The Sony G Lens is an aspheric lens with special low-dispersion glass. It's specially tuned to capture subtle qualities of definition and color. In addition, the lens offers a broad 20x optical zooming range with a 31.5 - 630mm (35mm equivalent) focal length that enables an expansive range of video expression.
- 1/2.3" Back-Illuminated 8.3MP Exmor R CMOS Image Sensor
- Sony's unique Exmor R CMOS sensor has a back-illuminated structure with wiring layers on the back of a photodiode (light receiving element) that dramatically boosts low-light sensitivity for shooting more lifelike images - even in dim lighting. This Sony technology also makes the camera nimble, so it can read massive 4K data at 60 fps.
- Professional Image Processor for Real-Time 4K / 60 fps Recording
- The FDR-AX1's image processor is identical to those in 4K camcorders used by professionals. It rapidly processes signals transmitted from the CMOS sensor and finalizes images. In processing the vast 4K data in real-time at 60p, the processor achieves four times the resolution of the Full HD 1080p format. This processor also features high-performance noise reduction for truer images, while image quality adjustment functions support greater freedom of expression. It is also specially tuned for the FDR-AX1 to deliver accelerated image processing performance.
- XAVC-S Consumer-Use 4K/HD Recording Format
- The FDR-AX1 records 4K/HD movies in the XAVC-S codec, which was developed for consumer usage based on the professional XAVC 4K/HD codec. XAVC-S uses MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 long GOP for video and LPCM for audio compression, while saving files in MP4 format. The XAVC-S codec also allows longer recording times within a given media capacity than XAVC, making 4K recording easier and more convenient.
- XAVC-S 150 Mbps 4K Video & 50 Mbps HD Video
- With the FDR-AX1, high-quality XAVC-S video can be recorded at up to 150 Mbps. Additionally, there is also an option to record high-quality Full HD 1080p video at 50 Mbps.
- Dual XQD Media Card Slots for High-Speed 4K Recording & Playback
- The FDR-AX1 features two XQD media card slots. XQD media cards provide smooth, high-speed reading and writing of 4K/HD video. Plus, a relay recording feature makes it possible to lengthen recording by automatically switching between two or more media options. You can quickly transfer data to a PC as well, by using an XQD reader/writer with a USB 3.0 connection. The FDR-AX1 is compatible with S-Series, H-Series and N-Series XQD media card types.
- View 4K/60p Video on Compatible BRAVIA TVs with Supplied HDMI Cable
- The FDR-AX1 supports playback of your recorded 4K content on a 4K TV by simply connecting the two devices using the supplied HDMI cable. Thanks to the camera's original function, you'll be able to transmit 4K/60p (4:2:0, 8-bit) signals to a Sony BRAVIA 4K TV, which is specially tuned to bring out the full quality of your 4K/60p video recordings. Even fast-moving sports and action footage will be clear and smooth. To enjoy this content on a Full HD monitor, simply change the menu HDMI output settings to 1920 x 1080. If you have a 4K monitor, you can use the supplied HDMI cable to transmit 4K/30p signals from the camera to the monitor.
- TRILUMINOS Color Technology
- The FDR-AX1 supports Sony's TRILUMINOS Color technology, which allows you to view photos and movies in rich, natural colors on any TRILUMINOS-equipped television. The expanded color gamut ensures lifelike, vivid colors when you playback your recorded video and still shots.
- Save 4K Video Content to Your PC
- The FDR-AX1 provides two methods for connecting and transferring footage to a PC. You can use a USB cable or insert your XQD memory card into an XQD reader/writer that is connected to your PC. You can also save data from the camera to other media sources like external HDDs. Once you've download data onto your PC, you can use Sony's PlayMemories Home software to manage and play your videos. You can edit video with the XAVC-S-compatible non-linear editing software as well. After your footage is edited, you'll be able to upload and share your 4K movies on social media sites like YouTube.
- Built-In Microphone & Professional-Class Audio XLR Terminals
- In addition to a high-performance internal microphone, the FDR-AX1 features two external XLR jacks for connecting external microphones that can also be used to record superior-quality audio together with your movies. You can also mix audio from recordings made using the internal microphone and externally connected microphones, respectively.
- Three ND Filters & Five Paint Functions for Expressive Cinematic Looks
- The FDR-AX1 features three ND filters for adjusting the amount of light entering the image sensor from the lens. There are also four filter settings: Clear, 1/4 filter, 1/16 filter and 1/64 filter. These filters and settings give users the ability to match shooting conditions, as well as adjust the shutter speed and aperture even on bright, sunny days. There are also five paint functions (white balance, gamma, detail, skin detail, matrix) that can be combined and adjusted in the paint menu to create expressive movie styling such as cinematic looks.
- Seven Assignable Buttons & Three Independent Control Rings
- The FDR-AX1 was designed with two start/stop buttons. One is located on the side of the camera grip, while the other is located on the handle. This affords ease-of-use while shooting. The handle also features a zoom button that enables convenient access while shooting from low angles. There are seven assignable buttons as well, which can be programmed with functions that enable users to quickly access them without using menus. Assign functions include: Marker, Zebra, Peaking, Focus Magnifier, Auto Exposure Level, SteadyShot, Color Bars, Rec Lamp [F], Rec Lamp [R] and more. Having seven assignable buttons will allow you to adjust to varying shooting conditions on-the-fly. There are also three manual control rings on the camera for focus, iris and zoom.
- Zebra, Peaking, Center Marker & Guide Frame
- Shooting tools such as Zebra, Peaking, Center Marker and Guide Frame are designed to assist you in shot setup. They'll help you get the cinematic expression you are after. Zebra highlights overly bright areas with stripes in the LCD and viewfinder. This feedback helps users adjust brightness and prevent whiteout, especially on the subject. Peaking simplifies focusing by highlighting in the LCD and viewfinder the areas most sharply in focus. Users can finely adjust the peaking level and choose white, red, yellow or blue peaking to clearly contrast with the subject. By making it easier to know where the shot is in focus, this feature helps users achieve the desired manual focus setting. Determine the center of your image at a glance using the Center Marker feature in the LCD or viewfinder, while the Guide Frame works as a guide for aligning horizontal and vertical lines.

NASCAR Nationwide Series
Daytona International Speedway
Friday, February 22, 2014
Race Highlights:
Richard Childress Racing drivers Brian Scott qualified 20th, Ty Dillon 23rd and Brendan Gaughan 27th, respectively, for the DRIVE4COPD 300 at Dayton International Speedway for Saturday afternoon's race.
When the checkered flag waved, Gaughan finished sixth, Dillon seventh and Scott in 17th places.
Next up for the NASCAR Nationwide Series is the Blue Jeans Go Green 200 presented by Cotton, The Fabric of our Lives from Phoenix International Raceway. Catch all the action live on March 1 at 3:45 p.m. ET on ABC TV
Brian Scott Finishes 17th in Nationwide Season Opener at Daytona International Speedway
Brian Scott kicked off the 2014 NASCAR Nationwide Series season at Daytona International Speedway by qualifying in the 20th position for the DRIVE4COPD 300. In the opening laps, Scott rocketed to the front of the field with his Shore Lodge Chevrolet Camaro picking up 12 spots before the first caution flag waved on lap eight. The team visited pit road for a fuel only stop and quickly returned to the on-track action. Scott fell to the rear of the pack after watching the Camaro's water temperature rise. Reporting he was loose off exit, the team took two right ride tires and fuel during green-flag pit stops on lap 52. At the halfway mark, Scott ran in the ninth position and remained there until the team returned to pit road on lap 72 for fuel only. It was a chess match to the finish as Scott raced side-by-side and single file while the laps wound down. Running sixth, he was in contention to make a charge for the lead, but lost momentum when the low line gained the advantage in the draft resulting in the 17th-place finish. The top-20 finish places Scott 11th in the driver points standings heading into the next Saturday's NNS race at Phoenix International Speedway.
Start – 20th Finish – 17th Laps Led – 0 Points – 11th
"That's superspeedway racing for you. I'm happy we didn't tear up our Shore Lodge Chevrolet, but disappointed because our car was much better than a 17th-place finish. Unfortunately, I got hung out to dry before that last caution and we weren't able to redeem ourselves within the last few laps. We were just hanging on there at the end and going to make a move if it was there."
Ty Dillon Finishes Seventh in DRIVE4COPD 300 at Daytona International Speedway
Ty Dillon drove Richard Childress Racing's No. 3 Bass Pro Shops/TRACKER Boats Chevrolet Camaro to a seventh-place finish in the DRIVE4COPD 300 at Daytona International Speedway. In the first NASCAR Nationwide Series race of the season, Dillon started 23rd and quickly moved his Camaro into the top 10, sitting fifth on lap 39. After taking four tires and fuel on a green-flag pit stop on lap 53, Dillon moved into second place. On lap 72, the No. 3 team was penalized for speeding on pit road and served a pass through penalty. Following the penalty, crew chief Danny Stockman called Dillon to stay out on track and save fuel. Stockman's call paid off as Dillon cracked the top 10. In a green-white-checkered finish, the No. 3 Bass Pro Shops Chevrolet crossed the finish line in seventh place, now holding fifth place in the NASCAR Nationwide Series point standings. Dillon was the highest finishing rookie in the 120-lap season opener at Daytona.
Start – 23rd Finish – 7th Laps Led – 0 Points – 5th
"I'm extremely pleased with how our No. 3 Bass Pro Shops Chevrolet preformed today. Danny (Stockman, crew chief) and the guys did a great job giving me the fastest race car possible. It was an exciting finish. This is a great way to start the NASCAR Nationwide Series, and a great start to our goal of winning a championship."
Brendan Gaughan Gambles with Fuel Strategy to Collect a Sixth-Place Finish at Daytona International Speedway
Brendan Gaughan drove the No. 62 South Point Hotel & Casino Chevrolet Camaro to a sixth-place finish in the NASCAR Nationwide Series season opener at Daytona International Speedway. Gaughan started in the 27th position and elected to bring his No. 62 Chevrolet to pit road for right side tires and fuel during the first caution on lap nine. The Las Vegas-native restarted 34th and began to gain spots on the field throughout the next 20 laps. During Gaughan's second pit stop, the team made chassis adjustments to improve handling of the Richard Childress Racing Chevrolet. Crew chief Shane Wilson gambled during the Lap 70 caution by making the call to take fuel only, and no tires. The call restarted Gaughan in the 11th position putting him in an ideal place to draft his way to a sixth-place finish on the 2.5 mile superspeedway. The finish places the No.62 South Point Hotel & Casino driver and team fourth in the championship points standings.
Start – 27th Finish – 6th Laps Led – 0 Points – 4th
"It's great to be leaving Daytona without a bunch of wrecked cars and without being in the big one. I really like the new rule package NASCAR has put in place this season and I believe from the fan reaction, they like it too. I had so much fun out there today. This is an awesome start for the South Point Chevrolet. I'm so glad to be starting off the season with this sixth-place finish. This is the best finish I've had here and it means a lot to me and my team."

What do PMS, colon cancer, high blood pressure and osteoporosis have in common?�
A secret enemy:� calcium.� Women have heard for years that adequate calcium
intake-from food or supplements--protects bones and delays osteoporosis.� Recent
research shows that calcium's value extends to many other functions as well.
A recent study showed that women who took 1,200 mg of calcium per day had far
fewer PMS symptoms than those who didn't.� Is PMS a signal to women that they're
not getting enough calcium?� In other studies, teenagers with high blood pressure
saw big reductions after taking 1500 mg of calcium per day, the equivalent of
5 glasses of skim milk.� 2 other studies have shown that improved calcium intake
can reduce the growth of precancerous colon polyps.
The more we learn about calcium, the more benefits we discover.� Calcium can
aid digestion, improve wound healing and blood clotting, and reduce muscle cramps.�
Most women must take calcium supplements to meet their recommended daily allowances.�
Choosing which calcium and how much to take can be confusing.
