I am frankly surprised that the President of Franciscan University of Steubenville, Franciscan Fr. Terence Henry, agreed to participate in one of Glenn Beck's radio shows, giving a morning prayer on the air. Now, of course, the Master dined with sinners and tax collectors, so there is a precedent. But, Fr. Henry went further, comparing Beck to Paul Revere "spreading the alarm." What alarm is that Father? The racist anti-Muslim alarm? The confused "socialism is everywhere" alarm? Or the "leave your church if the priest talks about social justice" alarm?
I know that Steubenville is not everyone's cup of tea, but I applaud them for their commitment to the church and their zeal for the faith. I am told that one gets a good education there, which is more than can be said for many colleges and universities. I would have no objection to his bringing Beck to campus to speak, in fact. But going to Beck-land and joining the creepily adoring masses who worship at Beck's feet is unseemly.
Here is my two if by sea warning to the world: Beck is a demagogue and demagogues are dangerous.

True cost of equity capital for XTEX is 7.5% Ask geoequities how I arrived at this rate.
Pounding, I believe i had more rec's on the message board than you? And no, I don't log in under multiple identities and give myself rec's.
Your GP tax, as you call it, is more a ratio of the amount the GP receives divided by the amount the LP receives. Using the total amount of cash paid out is the correct thing to do, because the denominator is essentially the distributable cash number that they quote. The numerator could be one of two numbers, either the amount that the GP gets, or the amount that the LP receives.
If you dig into KMI/KMP on an absolute bsais, and it is very messy due to KMR, but even on an individual unit basis, KMI(through its GP ownership) is receiving around 40%-44% of the total cash. This may not seem like a big deal, but if you look at where the 50/50 splits are at, and then look at the current distribution, it is simply breathetaking. It makes you realize Kinder is a genius. He and Duncan saw this long before anyone else (ok, the Buckeye guys but they never used BPL as a growth vehicle until the Carlyle guys came along). I have GP split speadsheet tables built for just about every MLP and GP and I use them to calculate the GP take on a per unit basis and on an absolute basis(just multiple by number of outstanding units) and will have to see if I can pull it up. Don't want to guess at how far past the 50/50 entering point he is, but he has gone very far. Will see if I can find it.
Since I define "GP tax", can we agree to use my own calculation? And it doesn't change the actual numbers, which I give.
"fuzzy math", "laughable", "operator not fine" and such crap. Still hurting from my pounding on the MWP board? Is this all you can put forward in terms of insults and is that how you back them up? Grow up, you're getting unraveled.
Here is my thesis: management will do what it says it will do.
By the end of year 2006, $3 dividend. By the end of year 2007, $4 dividend. By the end of year 2008, $5. Dividend. I think these objectives are doable and perhaps conservative.
I do not know what kind of multiple I will get in 2006, 2007 or 2008. However, if I am getting over $5 in dividends by then, I will take my chances. I would predict that the stock will double by that time.
If management does not deliver or misleads me, I will sell. I believe the end game for many of these MLP/Gps will be to be acquired and it would not surprise me if XTXI/XTEX or CPNO were acquired.
For what its worth, I own XTXI, CPNO and ETP.
Are you the same guy who used to post as geo_investor?
Dear Beerman, change 2007 with 2006. It does not change the argument, which is very simple:
* all the wonderful things that the management promises will happen and the share price may still not move all that dramatically.
What's your take on this thesis?
Also, it may be that with more projects they can push the divvy to $4/share. What will it mean in terms of share price? What's your model and what is it founded on? A simple extrapolation of today's multiples into forever? If you can borrow $65K at 4.5% today, would you invest it in XTXI? What's your hoped for return?
Here's how you arrived at that:
($.49 + $.152)*4 / $34 = 7.5%
Going forward, however, things become increasingly more difficult.
The cost of capital indeed goes up, but one need only look at KMP to see that it is possible to continue well into the 50/50 splits. Besides, XTXI has several mega size organic projects that will come online at ultra low multiples. The Barnett Shale pipeline will come online in January or February, the El Paso deal will bring a host of expansion, interconnect projects, they have the North LIG deal and potentially the South Louisiana deal. The Barnett Shale expansion is earmarked at 15 million, with a cashflow number of 17 million for a multiple of less than 1. Keep in mind that the original project was a 100 million dollar deal with a cash flow run rate number of 17.5 million for a multiple of 5.71. Together, that would be a multiple of about 3.4x. Crosstex has the advantage of still being small and in the 50/50 splits, that small deals can still move the distribution. It all depends on the multiple paid.
Thought I would go ahead and explain the equity cost of capital for XTEX and why it is not 14% like geoequities implied. XTEX/XTXI are indeed in the 50/50 splits, however, this does not mean that all cash is split 50/50, it means the accretive cash is split 50/50. For example, right now, XTEX is selling for roughly $34/unit. The distribution is $1.96, for a yield of roughly 5.75%. However, the true cost is higher as the GP take must be factored in. The current GP take, on a per unit basis, is roughly .60/unit. This means that the true yield (cost) is closer to 7.5%, far from 14%. Also keep in mind that while XTEX is in the 50/50 splits, it has one of the lowest yields of all of the MLP's, a feature that helps compensate for the fact that they are in the 50/50 splits.
Use a spreadsheet:
(1) current GP take per LP unit = $.152. Add it to the $.49 and you get $.64, not $.60.
Note: GP "tax" is 31%.
(2) assume XTEX distribution grows to $.75/Q = $3 annual. At 7% yield, XTEX = $45/share. GP tax = 55%. Cost of equity = 10.33%.
If you doubt it, do the math.
Current low yield factors the next 2 year growth. I agreed that this is a given. But in 2-3 years with a cost of equity in the 10+% how will they be able to finance growth at the same rate? Hence the multiples will drop, hence higher cost of capital.

If I compared a 2.1ghz Celeron to a 2.1ghz Pentium what would be the difference? As much technical info as possible would be great.
closed as too localized by studiohack♦ Jun 17 '11 at 14:38
This question is unlikely to help any future visitors; it is only relevant to a small geographic area, a specific moment in time, or an extraordinarily narrow situation that is not generally applicable to the worldwide audience of the internet. For help making this question more broadly applicable, visit the help center.If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.
Basically, The Pentium line is the mainstream performance chip, and it has many optimised routines built in that make certain tasks perform fast.
For a Celeron, they heavily cut costs and generally have less on board memory, and the result is a much cheaper chip that performs reasonably well (and generally at less power), but not as good as an equal ghz/mhz Pentium / Core 2 of the same generation.
You can't really compare different generation chips because after the Pentium 4 era, the mhz/ghz no longer really count as a comparison because there are so many other factors that determine speed (front side bus, on board memory, instruction sets e.t.c.)
the Celerons are 'budget' processors. they often have less cache memory, or have advanced features purposely disabled.
as a rule of thumb, an equally clocked Pentium will outperform a Celeron.
but an exact comparison is not possible unless you post the exact processor model.
for a long time Pentium CPUs constituted Intel's premium processor brand but that has changed, they were sold as medium range for a while (with the Core 2 Duo as high end range) and now the Pentiums will replace the Celerons as the budget brand while the Core i5 will become the medium range and the Core i7 is the top of the range.

Unless you're a firm believer in the power of SK-II's allegedly miraculous Pitera ingredient, there is no reason in the world to spend this much for a serum. There are plenty of brilliantly formulated serums that cost less than $60 and offer skin a broader range of anti-aging benefits than this one. Besides, if this is SK-II's "ultimate" serum then what are all of their other serums for? Are they not as good because most of them cost less and aren't described as "ultimate"? And what about the fact that there are far more formulary similarities than difference between all of the SK-II serums, despite varying claims and wildly different prices? In the end, this is an OK (though still absurdly priced) fragrance-free serum for normal to oily or combination skin. For the money, it leaves your skin wanting more so please don't fall under the spell of SK-II's Pitera nonsense and spend your hard-earned money under the mistaken notion that this is finally the ultimate anti-aging serum.
Rich treatment that helps improve the skin s texture and softness. This formula helps to vigorously hydrate skin to fight the signs of aging. It replenishes essential moisture to optimize skin tone- leaving skin soft, delicate, moist and with a healthy glow.
Aqua (Water/Eau), Saccharomycopsis Ferment Filtrate, Butylene Glycol, Glycerin, Pentylene Glycol, Sodium Hyaluronate, Hexapeptide-3, Polyglyceryl-10 Myristate, Pentaerythrityl Tetraethylhexanoate, Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate, Xanthan Gum, Diphenyl Dimethicone, Sodium Hydroxide, Sodium Benzoate, Methylparaben, Disodium EDTA
Despite its high-end pricing, much of the SK-II products are surprisingly ordinary—many contain a small assortment of beneficial ingredients in addition to standard moisturizing agents and fragrance. Though their marketing campaigns are compelling, much is left to be desired when you compare glossy layouts to ingredients and formulas.
Pitera is the cornerstone of the SK-II line and is present in every SK-II product. There is some research demonstrating that this yeast, galactomyces ferment filtrate, has a protective effect on the skin barrier, working to prevent damage to the proteins that play a critical role in maintaining its integrity. There isn't much beyond this single study, so there is no way to compare it to the already well-researched ingredients on the market, but it is intriguing (Clinical and Experimental Dermatology, 2015). Why SK-II chose to base their line around this ingredient given the lack of knowledge about it is curious—there are plenty of research-proven alternatives they could have considered (vitamin C, green tea, retinol, etc.), or at least paired with Pitera!
In the end, much of the SK-II line lacks the formulas to warrant their price tags. However, if you're looking to splurge, there are a few products to consider—see our full reviews for more information.

About Shlomo (Solomon) Pines
Shlomo Pines (Hebrew: שלמה פינס) (August 5, 1908, Charenton-le-Pont – January 9, 1990, Jerusalem) was a scholar of Jewish and Islamic philosophy, best known for his English translation of Maimonides' Guide of the Perplexed.
Pines was born in Charenton-le-Pont near Paris, and grew up in Paris, Riga, Archangelsk, London and Berlin. His father, Meir Pines, was a scholar and businessman whose Sorbonne dissertation comprised the first attempt at a history of Yiddish literature.
Between 1926 and 1934 Shlomo Pines studied philosophy, Semitic languages, and linguistics at the universities of Heidelberg, Geneva and Berlin. Among his friends at Berlin were Paul Kraus and Leo Strauss, the latter of whom would contribute the lengthy introductory essay to Pines' classic translation of The Guide. From 1937 to 1939 he taught the history of science in Islamic countries at the Institute of the History of Science in Paris. In 1940, he and his family departed for Palestine on the last boat leaving Marseilles before the Nazi occupation of France (during which time 25% of French Jews were deported and murdered).
In the young State of Israel, Pines was a professor in the Department of Jewish Thought and the Department of Philosophy at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem from 1952 until his death in 1990.
In 1971 Pines discovered a 10th-century Arabic version of the Testimonium Flavianum by Josephus due to Agapius of Hierapolis. Pines also discovered a 12th-century Syriac version of Josephus by Michael the Syrian.[2] Leading scholar Louis Feldman stated that the discovery of Pines "created a considerable stir" in the academic community by drawing attention to two important historical works which had been almost completely neglected before then.
Pines' fluency in a wide variety of modern and ancient languages—including, but not limited to, Arabic, Syriac, Hebrew, Persian, Sanskrit, Turkish, and Coptic—enabled him to undertake scholarship of uniquely broad scope.
- In 1968, Pines was awarded the Israel Prize, in the humanities.
- In 1985, he was a co-recipient (jointly with Hillel Barzel and David Weiss Halivni) of the Bialik Prize for Jewish thought.

Colombian Stock Movers: Almacenes Exito, Canacol, Fabricato
The following companies are having unusual price changes in Bogota trading. Stock symbols are in parentheses and prices are as of 1:08 p.m. New York time.
The IGBC Index rose 0.5 percent to 13,910.46 while the Colcap Index gained 0.3 percent to 1,685.95.
Almacenes Exito SA (EXITO CB), Colombia's biggest publicly traded retailer, rose 0.5 percent to 24,100 pesos. Colombia's retail sales rose 11.8 percent in July from a year earlier, the national statistics agency said yesterday on its website.
Canacol Energy Ltd. (CNEC CB), the Calgary-based oil company with fields in the South American country, fell 2.3 percent to 1,500 pesos, the lowest intraday level since the stock began trading in July 2010. The company may be hitting new lows because the market is waiting for news on its exploration projects in the Caguan-Putumayo basin, said Juan David Pineros, an oil sector analyst for Interbolsa SA, Colombia's biggest brokerage.
The company plans to release new information in the first week in October, Carolina Orozco, head of investor relations for Canacol in Colombia, said Sept. 14.
Fabricato SA (FABRI CB), Colombia's biggest textile maker, rose 0.7 percent to 73.5 pesos. The U.S. Senate is set to begin debate today on trade preference and worker-aid programs that would clear the way for President Barack Obama to send Congress three pending free-trade agreements, including one with Colombia. Senator Harry Reid of Nevada, the Democratic leader, plans to move ahead with legislation that would revive tariff preferences for goods from developing nations after lawmakers voted 84-8 last night to limit debate, the first step in the process of acting on the measures.

I have an existing Active Directory in house, a mix between a Win2K8R2 and Win2K3 domain, and i would like to test out Windows Server 2012 Essentials BETA on the network. When walking though the install, it gives me the option of a new domain, or migrating from an existing domain. when clicking existing, it tells me i can only have one SBS server running on a domain at a time... So, i dont have any existing SBS servers in house (both are full standard or enterprise editions) but i do plan on keeping at least one of these extra servers running... So, how do i get a 2012 Essentials server to join a domain, and not migrate the existing domain? or if i do migrate, can i still get one of the other boxes to act as secondary controllers?
This is an old question about beta but the same idea applies to RTM as well.
I just did this, and here's the situation. You can choose to migrate or create a new domain - if you migrate, and the source is NOT SBS but a normal AD environment, everything is happy (this is documented for example here: http://blogs.technet.com/b/sbs/archive/2012/08/24/migrating-to-windows-server-2012-essentials.aspx). (If it is SBS or EBS there are special rules around decommissioning the old server, etc.)
The only hiccup was the new environment didn't know anything about my users in the old environment. This is a documented issue with an easy fix: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg186128.aspx
I'm not finding good documentation about this from Microsoft, but based on the error messages you're seeing in the beta product still referencing Small Business Server (SBS) I am going to answer on the basis of how the SBS product operates.
You will need to migrate, demoting the current domain controller (DC) to a member server and transferring the Active Directory Flexible Single-Master Operation (FSMO) roles to the new DC. Once you've done that you can re-promote the existing machine back to being a secondary DC for the domain.
The limitation in SBS has, historically, been on having multiple Windows Server SBS machines. You can only have one. You can have as many secondary DCs as you want, however.
Having said all that, I'd be really concerned with migrating a production Active Directory domain onto a beta platform. Hopefully this is just a test lab that you're working with.
As the installer already tells you, no, you cannot run more than one Domain Controller when the existing Domain Controller is SBS.
This also obviously limits its use for inclusion into an existing domain.
An alternative way would be also to demote the server: http://www.tinkertry.com/ws2012e-domain-removal/ although it seems a bit risky and not officially supported, and some things might break.
I am in a similar situation. We in our company have 12 developers but our BizSpark startup program offers only 7 MSDN subscriptions. This means that 5 developers won't have CALs (client access licenses) to access any Standard edition of Windows Server. As Essentials edition offers 25 user accounts without a need for CALs, we chose Essentials as a base for our very first small development environment server.
But now there is an issue: we would like to install SQL Server and TFS on it. And SQL Server yells at me - Warning, there might be problems when installing on a domain controller. So we decided to try the risky way - ripping the domain controller out of Windows Server Essentials.

YOUNGSTOWN — A Mahoning County grand jury today indicted the son of a county judge on six felony counts and nine criminal counts overall.
John T. Dellick, 19, of Canfield, faces charges for two separate incidents, one for an October road rage incident in Canfield, and another for a July incident with an ex-girlfriend.
For the July incident, Dellick faces charges of kidnapping and abduction, both felonies, and a misdemeanor count of assault.
For the October incident, Dellick faces two counts of felonious assault, a second-degree felony, two counts of ethnic intimidation, a fifth-degree felony, and two misdemeanor counts of aggravated menacing. He was charged with ramming another man's car in that incident.
He also has a pending aggravated menacing charge in Youngstown Municipal Court.
Dellick is the son of Judge Theresa Dellick of Mahoning County Juvenile Court.
For the complete story, read Friday's Vindicator and Vindy.com
Sounds like my school's superintendent's son when I was in school. This is what happens when you don't discipline your children.
a plea is definitely a coming......
I bet he still comes out with NO JAIL.
I see no jail time until he kills someone. I guessing that's within 5 years
See if mommy can get him out of this. Again, she doesn't think jr. did anything wrong. What a thug.
Theresa Dellick's defense of her baby boy, indicates to me that she is the wrong person to be a judge in juvenile court.
The Democratic Chairman needs to run a challenger to her in the next election. Of course, then Dave Betras' brother in law might lose that cushy job in her court!
some jail time, please. there's alot of people in jail with lesser charges/convictions. and if santa could give him a big, smelly, cellmate too.

2002 Chevrolet Impala 4dr Sedan (3.4L 6cyl 4A)
I think I was particularly unlucky with the car I got, but this was the worst car I ever owned. In the 7 years I had it, I spent over $4,000 on major repairs, most of which came in the course of one year. By the end, it had rusted so badly that the fuel filter was rusted in place and mechanics couldn't put it on a lift because underside components were so corroded that they crushed. I didn't feel like I could leave town. The turn signal worked only intermittently for the last six months I owned it. I was so tired of dumping money into it that I just stopped making repairs.
It was at least a comfortable riding car and there was lots of room for passengers. The engine was powerful enough, when it worked.
Better quality workmanship so that owners don't have to spend thousands of dollars on major repairs.
Tons of interior and trunk space, especially rear seat "leg room" which is perfect for child seats. Replaced head gasket at 72,000 miles and cat-converter at 82,000. The clogged cat was a symptom of the prior gasket failure. This is the 3rd GM 3.4L V6 I have owned, head gasket went in all 3, poor engine design. Get the LS with the 3.8L and you'll be just fine. Crossing fingers that repairs over $1,200 are done with for a while.
Rear seat "leg room" great for child seats, and huge trunk.
Bad gaskets and engine design in 3.4L, front seat contour does not promote good posture, go with bucket seats and 3.8L engine.
I have owned this car for almost two years now. It was my father's car and he had purchased it new and neither him nor myself have had too much trouble with it. It's had one new battery, I recently had a tune up for it and put new brakes on it. It always has been good for trips and for having more people riding with me. I bought it with 80k miles on it and now it has 120k and I think it will last another 120k!
The power outlet next to the ashtray and cigarette lighter, convenient to plug in my ipod adapter. The cruise control and climate features are also really good.
Maybe use better quality parts for some stuff, the interior of my driver door is starting to tear apart.
The Impala is not fit because it has too many problems. It is good on gas and the ride is alright on the highway for long trips but. Not recognizing the key therefore the car won't start and having to the wait for the computer to shut down 12-15 mins is not right. Approx $1100 to fix, then intake manifold gasket leaking which the coolant can eventually leak into the eng $1000, brakes never seem to be good, fix at dealer with minimal cost but eventually did a whole new brake job, muffler pipe has a crack, lower control arm bushings left and right needs to be replaced, now head gasket dealer $2200, private shop $1400 and eng rebuilt at priv shop $2400. I only have $155k when does it end.
I bought this car with 162,000 kms on it. It now has pushing 300,000 kms. This car corners like a sports car, brakes as good or better than most on the road. And you got remember it was used and abused by the ont Canada o. P. P. This car will bury the speedo with no hesitation. Its been to Florida with me 3 times from Ontario. I've put a battery and 2 front wheel bearings, and a set of control arm bushing in it. I change the tranny oil and filter every spring. I probly drive it harder the the police did! I love it even tho its a plain Jane. From the lights this car surprise

It has a 3-way rca (component) input and a dvi (for both digital dvi and anlog dvi).
When I connect my computer (geforce 6800ultra) to my television using a DVI-I cable, I can turn up my resolution upto 1080p.
Also when I connect my dreamcast vgabox to a vga <-> dvi converter I can go 720p (the dc doesnt do better than that).
However the xbox360 connected to the 3 RCA inputs (red, blue, green) will only work on 480i.
So apprently the television doesnt like anything higher on the analog rca inputs.
Instead of getting a xbox 360 elite with a digital hdmi output, I found this thing:
Since I know it supports analog dvi (RGB) using the dreamcast and digital dvi using my geforce.. Would it be possible to use the converter from ebay and set it to 1080p when connected to the dvi port?

TX Fertilizer Plant Explosion (AP Photo/Waco Tribune Herald, Jerry Larson)
WEST, Texas (AP) — Rescue workers searched rubble early Thursday for survivors of a fertilizer plant explosion in a small Texas town that killed as many as 15 people and injured more than 160 others. The blast left the factory a smoldering ruin and leveled homes and businesses for blocks in every direction.
The explosion in downtown West, a small farming community about 20 miles north of Waco, shook the ground with the strength of a small earthquake and could be heard dozens of miles away. It sent flames shooting into the night sky and rained burning embers and debris down on shocked and frightened residents.
"They are still getting injured folks out and they are evacuating people from their homes," Waco police Sgt. William Patrick Swanton said early Thursday morning. He added later, "At some point this will turn into a recovery operation, but at this point, we are still in search and rescue."
Swanton said authorities believe that between five and 15 people were killed in the blast, but stressed that is an early estimate. There is no indication the blast was anything other than an industrial accident, he said.
Among those believed to be dead: Three to five volunteer firefighters and a single law enforcement officer who responded to a fire call at the West Fertilizer Co. shortly before the blast. They remained unaccounted for early Thursday morning.
The explosion that struck around 8 p.m. leveled a four-block area around the plant that a member of the city council, Al Vanek, said was "totally decimated." The toll included 50 to 75 houses, an apartment complex with about 50 units that one state police officer said was reduced to "a skeleton," a middle school and the West Rest Haven Nursing Home, from which first-responders evacuated 133 patients, some in wheelchairs.
Other witnesses compared the scene the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing, and authorities said the plant made materials similar to that used to fuel the bomb that tore apart that city's Murrah Federal Building.
Although authorities said it will be some time before they know how many lives were lost, they put the number of those injured at more than 160 early Thursday. West Mayor Tommy Muska told reporters that his city of about 2,800 residents needs "your prayers."
"We've got a lot of people who are hurt, and there's a lot of people, I'm sure, who aren't gonna be here tomorrow," Muska said. "We're gonna search for everybody. We're gonna make sure everybody's accounted for. That's the most important thing right now."
In the hours after the blast, many of the town's residents wandered the dark and windy streets searching for shelter. Among them was Julie Zahirniako, who said she and her son, Anthony, had been playing at a school playground near the fertilizer plant when the explosion hit. She was walking the track, he was kicking a football.
The explosion threw her son four feet in the air, breaking his ribs. She said she saw people running from the nursing home and the roof of the school lifted into the air.
"The fire was so high," she said. "It was just as loud as it could be. The ground and everything was shaking."
The town's volunteer firefighters had responded to a call at the plant at 7:29 p.m., Swanton said. Due to the plant's chemical stockpile, "they realized the seriousness of what they had," he said.
Muska was among the firefighters, and he and his colleagues were working to evacuate the area around the plant when the blast followed about 20 minutes later. Muska said it knocked off his fire helmet and blew out the doors and windows of his nearby home.
The main fire was under control as of 11 p.m., authorities said, but residents were urged to remain indoors because of the threat of new explosions or leaks of ammonia from the plant's ruins. Swanton said early Thursday authorities were not concerned about lingering smoke from the fire.
Dozens of emergency vehicles amassed at the scene in the hours after the blast, as fires continued to smolder in the ruins of the plant and in several surrounding buildings. Aerial footage showed injured people being treated on the flood-lit football field that had been turned into a staging area.
Vanek said first-responders treated victims at about half a dozen sites, and he saw several injured residents from the nursing home being treated at the community center. Swanton said the injured rescued so far had been taken to hospitals in Waco and a triage center at high school in nearby Abbott.
About 100 of the injured were treated at Hillcrest Baptist Medical Center in Waco, where five people were in intensive care. Another 65 were taken to Providence Health Center in Waco. Officials said the injuries included broken bones, bruises, lacerations, respiratory distress, and some head injuries and minor burns.
Erick Perez, 21, of West, was playing basketball at a nearby school when the fire started. He and his friends thought nothing of it at first, but about a half-hour later, the smoke changed color. The blast threw him, his nephew and others to the ground and showered the area with hot embers, shrapnel and debris.
"The explosion was like nothing I've ever seen before," Perez said. "This town is hurt really bad."
Information was hard to come by in the hours after the blast, and entry into the town was slow-going as the roads were jammed with emergency vehicles rushing in to help.
The U.S. Chemical Safety Board said it was deploying a large investigation team to West. American Red Cross crews from across Texas also headed to the scene to help evacuated residents.
There were no immediate details available from police on the number of people who work at the plant, which was cited by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality in 2006 for failing to obtain or to qualify for a permit. The agency acted after receiving a complaint in June of that year of a strong ammonia smell.
In 2001, an explosion at a chemical and fertilizer plant killed 31 people and injured more than 2,000 in Toulouse, France. The blast occurred in a hangar containing 300 tons of ammonium nitrate, which can be used for both fertilizer and explosives. The explosion came 10 days after the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks in the U.S., and raised fears at the time it was linked. A 2006 report blamed the blast on negligence.

The yen strengthened in Asia on Thursday as forex markets reacted to reports that Japan's main opposition party objects to one of Tokyo's nominees to lead the central bank.
In morning Tokyo trade, the dollar fetched 95.87 yen, from 96.05 yen in New York Tuesday afternoon, while the euro also weakened slightly on the Japanese currency at 124.99 yen, compared with 125.19 yen in US trading.
The Japanese currency's recent downward trend has been driven by speculation of more easing measures from the new leadership team at the Bank of Japan, who are expected to be confirmed by parliament by the end of this week.
However, Japan's main opposition party reportedly objects to the nomination of Kikuo Iwata to serve as one of two deputy BoJ governors, throwing the focus on smaller opposition parties' view of the candidate.
The fierce BoJ critic backs aggressive monetary easing, which tends to push down the value of the yen, and giving the government more control over bank policy, a touchy subject for the independent BoJ.
A vote against Iwata could dent Prime Minister Shinzo Abe's plans for a central bank team that supports his policy prescriptions to fix the nation's limp economy.
Finance veteran Haruhiko Kuroda, who is Tokyo's choice to head the central bank, has said under his stewardship the BoJ would move to meet a two-percent inflation target that policymakers adopted in January, aimed at reversing years of deflation that crimped private spending and business investment.
"There is a strong likelihood that Mr. Iwata will be approved by a narrow margin in the upper house (of parliament)," said Junya Tanase, chief forex strategist at JPMorgan in Tokyo.
"But if he were to be voted down, the dollar may fall below 95.00," Tanase told Dow Jones Newswires.
The European single currency bought $1.3033, nearly flat from $1.3035 ahead of an Italian bond auction later in the day and eurozone factory output data.
Euro weakness followed a mixed bag of news with Spain's borrowing costs dropping in a debt sale, a sign of improving market confidence, as British factory output in January slumped by 1.5 percent from the previous month.
Forex marets were eyeing US retail sales data after better-than-expected US jobs figures last week had boosted the greenback.
"The focus is on US retail sales data," a currency manager at a major Japanese bank told Dow Jones Newswires.
"If the reading comes in much stronger-than-expected... we may see the dollar testing its recent high of 96.71 yen."

A small wildfire is reportedly burning near the Aspen Village Apartments in Divide. A brief evacuation has been cancelled.
An update from the Teller County Office Of Emergency Management says that the fire was contained at approximately 4 acres at 5:00 p.m. It was centered near the intersection of Aspen Village Dr. and Spruce.
Some smoke is still visible, and mop up operations will continue through the night.
Evacuations orders for Aspen Village have now been dropped.
Officials with Teller County, the Forest Service and the Bureau of Land Management will remain on the scene.

What's the most efficient way to concatenate strings?
We started with Q&A. Technical documentation is next, and we need your help.
Whether you're a beginner or an experienced developer, you can contribute.
The only problem with
Rico Mariani, the .NET Performance guru, had an article on this very subject. It's not as simple as one might suspect. The basic advice is this:
Yet another article to support this claim comes from Eric Lippert where he describes the optimizations performed on one line
From Chinh Do - StringBuilder is not always faster:
Rules of Thumb
Most of the time StringBuilder is your best bet, but there are cases as shown in that post that you should at least think about each situation.
There are 6 types of string concatenations:
In an experiment, it has been proved that
For more information, check this site.
If you're operating in a loop, StringBuilder is probably the way to go; it saves you the overhead of creating new strings regularly. In code that'll only run once, though, String.Concat is probably fine.
However, Rico Mariani (.NET optimization guru) made up a quiz in which he stated at the end that, in most cases, he recommends String.Format.
From this MSDN article:
So if you trust MSDN go with StringBuilder if you have to do more than 10 strings operations/concatenations - otherwise simple string concat with '+' is fine.
Adding to the other answers, please keep in mind that StringBuilder can be told an initial amount of memory to allocate.
Repeatedly appending to a StringBuilder that hasn't been pre-allocated can result in a lot of unnecessary allocations just like repeatedly concatenating regular strings.
If you know how long the final string will be, can trivially calculate it, or can make an educated guess about the common case (allocating too much isn't necessarily a bad thing), you should be providing this information to the constructor or the Capacity property. Especially when running performance tests to compare StringBuilder with other methods like String.Concat, which do the same thing internally. Any test you see online which doesn't include StringBuilder pre-allocation in its comparisons is wrong.
If you can't make any kind of guess about the size, you're probably writing a utility function which should have its own optional argument for controlling pre-allocation.
The most efficient is to use StringBuilder, like so:
@jonezy: String.Concat is fine if you have a couple of small things. But if you're concatenating megabytes of data, your program will likely tank.
It's also important to point it out that you should use the
It really depends on your usage pattern. A detailed benchmark between string.Join, string,Concat and string.Format can be found here: String.Format Isn't Suitable for Intensive Logging
(This is actually the same answer I gave to this question)
For just two strings, you definitely do not want to use StringBuilder. There is some threshold above which the StringBuilder overhead is less than the overhead of allocating multiple strings.
So, for more that 2-3 strings, use DannySmurf's code. Otherwise, just use the + operator.
It would depend on the code. StringBuilder is more efficient generally, but if you're only concatenating a few strings and doing it all in one line, code optimizations will likely take care of it for you. It's important to think about how the code looks too: for larger sets StringBuilder will make it easier to read, for small ones StringBuilder will just add needless clutter.
Try this 2 pieces of code and you will find the solution.
You will find that 1st code will end really quick and the memory will be in a good amount.
The second code maybe the memory will be ok, but it will take longer... much longer. So if you have an application for a lot of users and you need speed, use the 1st. If you have an app for a short term one user app, maybe you can use both or the 2nd will be more "natural" for developers.
System.String is immutable. When we modify the value of a string variable then a new memory is allocated to the new value and the previous memory allocation released. System.StringBuilder was designed to have concept of a mutable string where a variety of operations can be performed without allocation separate memory location for the modified string.

Can't add much to that QK -except to hope that folks in fact DO still remember, and also DO stop and think about our boys in harm's way.
Thx for the post
This is a discussion on Christmas Before And After within the Bob & Terry's Place forums, part of the The Back Porch category; Please ALL CombatCarry.com members Have A Joyous and Happy Holiday Season. Please also take a few minutes out of your busy holiday season to remember ...
Please ALL CombatCarry.com members Have A Joyous and Happy Holiday Season.
Please also take a few minutes out of your busy holiday season to remember those who are not HOME for the holidays and are fighting that we might continue to celebrate our respective holidays in Peace here in the USA.
Please take a bit more "time out" to also think about those brave souls who have already come "Home" for the very last time ever ~ and those who have come home with bodies torn and tattered. Remember the victims and remember the LEOs & FireFighters & Medics that were "right there" when called upon.
In case some of you missed this (below) on its first journey through the Internet some years ago...here it is again.
Please read it & even if you are not religious you'll find some of it to be applicable and relevant to your life.
On September 10 we were one nation; on September 11 we were quite another.
Since the terror of the deadly hijackings, we've all been changed in ways we are still sorting out.
And though none of us goes through the grieving and the healing process in the same way, one thing is certain: This Christmas there are some ways--some wonderful, many terrible--in which we're all different.
And while that fact cannot be denied, there is another truth, a far more powerful one, that we must never forget:
Thanks to God's grace and our strength there is at least one way in which we are the same.
The following list includes 25 ways we're all different this Christmas--and one very special way we're not.
1. Last Christmas we were thinking about all the things we didn't have; this Christmas we are thinking about all the things we do have.
2. Last Christmas we were placing wreaths on the doors of our homes; this Christmas we are placing wreaths on the graves of our heroes.
3. Last Christmas we were letting our sons play with toy guns; this Christmas we are teaching them that guns are not toys.
4. Last Christmas we were counting our money; this Christmas we are counting our blessings.
5. Last Christmas we paid lip service to the real meaning of the holidays; this Christmas we are paying homage to it.
6. Last Christmas we were lighting candles to decorate; this Christmas we are lighting candles to commemorate.
7. Last Christmas we were digging deep into our bank accounts to find the money to fly home for the holidays; this Christmas we are digging deep into our souls to find the courage to do so.
8. Last Christmas we were trying not to let annoying relatives get the best of us; this Christmas we are trying to give the best of ourselves to them.
9. Last Christmas we thought it was enough to celebrate the holidays; this Christmas we know we must also find ways to consecrate them.
10. Last Christmas we thought a man who could rush down a football field was a hero; this Christmas we know a man who rushes into a burning building is the real one.
11. Last Christmas we were thinking about the madness of the holidays; this Christmas we are thinking about the meaning of them.
12. Last Christmas we were getting on one another's nerves; this Christmas we are getting on our knees.
13. Last Christmas we were giving thanks for gifts from stores; this Christmas we are giving thanks for gifts from God.
14. Last Christmas we were wondering how to give our children all the things that money can buy--the hottest toys, the latest fashions, the newest gadgets; this Christmas we are wondering how to give them all the things it can't--a sense of security, safety, peace.
15. Last Christmas we were thinking about all the pressure we are under at the office; this Christmas we are thinking about all the people who no longer have an office to go to.
16. Last Christmas we were singing carols; this Christmas we are singing anthems.
17. Last Christmas we were thinking how good it would feel to be affluent; this Christmas we are thinking how good it feels to be alive.
18. Last Christmas we thought angels were in heaven; this Christmas we know some are right here on earth.
19. Last Christmas we were contemplating all the changes we wanted to make in the New Year; this Christmas we are contemplating all the changes we will have to make in this new reality.
20. Last Christmas we believed in the power of the pocketbook; this Christmas we believe in the power of prayer.
21. Last Christmas we were sharing/spreading/listening to gossip; this Christmas we are sharing/spreading/listening to the Gospel.
22. Last Christmas we were complaining about how much of our earnings went to pay taxes; this Christmas we comprehend that freedom isn't free.
23. Last Christmas we valued things that were costly; this Christmas we value things that are holy.
24. Last Christmas the people we idolized wore football, basketball and baseball uniforms; this Christmas the people we idolize wear police, firefighters and military uniforms.
25. Last Christmas "peace on earth" is something we prayed for on Sunday mornings; now it is something we pray for every day.
There's no way to sugarcoat it: Since September 11, life has changed dramatically and substantially for everyone. But while many things have changed, at least one thing has not. One thing that cannot. One thing that will not.
Last Christmas people around the world gathered to celebrate family and faith; this Christmas people around the world will gather to celebrate family and faith.
And this year, as we continue this age-old tradition, we will understand in ways we never have the meaning and the magic of each.

TO A CERTAIN segment of the population, Tom Wopat will forever be "Luke Duke," one of the lead characters on the 1980s TV series, "The Dukes of Hazzard," which focused on the comical misadventures of a couple of reformed redneck moonshiners. But Wopat's greatest triumphs have occurred about as far - philosophically and artistically - as you can get from formulaic weekly television.
For decades, the 61-year-old actor-singer has been a Broadway mainstay, in a slew of hit musicals and dramas.
He is also an accomplished interpreter of pop songs, as illustrated by "I've Got Your Number," his CD that hits the market Feb. 12. He'll be offering fans a sneak peek Thursday at Bucks County's intimate Sellersville Theater.

I have an MSDN version of Windows 7 Enterprise.
I think I saw somewhere that this version can be installed on multiple computers with the same serial number. Is that correct? How many times can I use it?
MSDN licensing is a tricky model. Each MSDN license is for a single person, and that single person can install the software on as many machines as needed for development purposes. If you perform any non-development actions on computers with MSDN licenses, you are violating the terms of the license agreement.
Quote from Microsoft:
While there is no technical limitation preventing from using an MSDN license as a retail copy, doing so can get you into trouble with microsoft. MSDN licenses are for testing labs to allow a software developer to cheaply test their programs on a wide array of hardware.

Why Won't More Chicks Buy Harleys?
Imagine the predicament of the Harley-Davidson Corporation: every paunchy middle-aged biker dude already owns your product. Where to find sales growth? Ladies? Hello?
Imagine the predicament of the Harley-Davidson Corporation: every paunchy middle-aged biker dude already owns your product. Where to find sales growth? Ladies? Hello?
I spent a lot of time riding Harley-Davidson bikes this year, most of that through the middle west of America. In Illinois, in the tall grass prairie. In the heart of a broad expanse of carefully plotted lands made functional by laying down long, straight, level grids of asphalt.
After a year of promotions, acres of press, and well-received test rides of its Livewire prototype, Harley Davidson's CEO says its electric motorcycle won't arrive for at least a couple of years. And as always, the problem is range and cost.
Harley-Davidson is looking for one rider to bounce around 20 countries in Europe on an all-expense-paid tour, providing a Street Glide to ride and paying you for the privilege. Oh, and you get to keep the bike at the end.
Harley-Davidson has been parading it's LiveWire electric motorcycle around the country, giving riders a taste of what's coming next from H-D. But right now, it would cost $50,000 – twice what people would pay – and only delivering around 50 miles of range – half of what consumers want.
You're looking at the first-ever electric Harley-Davidson motorcycle, coming to a showroom near you sometime in 2016. Here's what the LiveWire means for motorcycles, America and the future.
Harley-Davidson, already enduring its worst market conditions in decades, now has another problem to contend with: It has announced a recall of over 300,000 motorcycles because heat from the exhaust system may cook the rear brake-light switch, killing the brake light, and possibly leading to fluid leakage and rear…
This may look like a flea market got caught in a twister with a pallet of super glue. But it's acutally the Harley-Davidson of Milo Anderson, a.k.a. "Ratbike Milo," who's driven it 615,000 miles over the past 30 years.
Drivers of Harley Davidson motorcycles already face an earned stigma as being balding accountants trying to reclaim their manhood by riding chromed-out motorcycles while wearing West Cost Choppers paraphernalia. This guy turns the poseur-factor up to 11 with phony tank-mounted iPhone.
Peter Fonda's Easy Rider Harley was only smoke damaged in warehouse fire now classified as arson. [KXAN]
Harley-Davidson took a hitherto secret $2.3 billion taxpayer bailout in 2008/2009. [HellForLeather]
Ford's revealed their 2011 Harley F-150 and aside from getting styling upgrades and a leather 'n chrome interior, the truck's getting the same 411 hp, 434 lb-ft 6.2-liter V8 found in the Raptor. The paint job's kinda cool, too.
In a landmark social media marketing achievement, Harley-Davidson has become the only male user of Chatroulette to not be caught masturbating in front of his web cam. How'd they manage such a momentous achievement? With cardboard.
Harley doesn't know how much money, if any, it will save by killing Buell. [HellForLeather]
Is the Ford F150 Harley-Davidson Edition too wimpy for you because there aren't enough wheels? Then do we have the truck for you. Grunt 'hi' to the hogarific International Lonestar Harley-Davidson Special Edition.
The 2010 Ford Harley-Davidson F-150 is the latest in Ford's line of co-branded trucks combining the popularity of the F-150 and the style of Harley-Davidson. But what kind of substance lies beneath the style?
A 1951 Crosley wagon is cool in that quirky oddity sort of way. But you'll probably want more grunt than the original 26 HP motor. Well you could try to shoehorn in a small block V8, but that would just take away some of the offbeat Crosley charm. So why not use a Harley V-twin? With 110 HP, it's hardly a slouch in…

Strange News
Giant Toad Resembling Former President Attracts China's Censors
The 72-foot-tall inflatable is installed on a Beijing Lake. A photo of it — wearing large square glasses just like those worn by a former president — went viral online.
Good morning. I'm Renee Montagne. Censors in China are trying to contain a blow-up this week, specifically, a 72-foot-tall inflatable toad installed on a Beijing lake. Someone posted a viral image of the yellow amphibian wearing large square glasses, just like those worn by a former president. The toad is a traditional Chinese symbol of good luck, but officials didn't take it as a compliment, so stories about the giant toad have disappeared from Chinese new sites.

Sample Day-by-Day Itinerary:
Day 1 – Depart for Warsaw
Make your way to your local airport where you will board your overnight flight(s) to Warsaw. Your meals will be served on board.
Day 2 – Arrive Warsaw
Welcome to Warsaw, Poland! Upon arrival, you will collect your luggage in the baggage claim area, and continue to the Arrival's Hall where you will be greeted by a tour guide and/or driver. Make your way to the Bus where your group will transfer to your hotel. Following check-in at your hotel, your pilgrimage will officially begin with Mass. Following Mass, you will enjoy a delicious dinner and have the opportunity to explore the city of Warsaw before retiring for a restful overnight.
Day 3 – Warsaw
Your day will begin with breakfast followed by Mass at St. James Church, iconic for its tower and square base. This church is where Helena Kowalska prayed extensively upon entering Warsaw. Also, it is where she confessed all that burdened her soul, and asked for the advice of Rev. James Dąbrowski which eventually resulted in the Saint entering the convent. Following this prayerful morning, your day of sightseeing begins. Your group will explore the Old Town, comprised of beautiful maze-like cobblestone streets and picturesque architecture that are symbols of Poland's successful rebuild following its destruction during World War II. Some of the sites will include the Market Square (the center of the city filled with restaurants, cafés and shops), the Barbican, defense-like structures that have been rebuilt following World War II, and the Warsaw Ghetto monument that commemorates the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising of 1943 during World War II. You will also take in the Lazienski Park, a beautifully landscaped park, the Chopin Statue (a large bronze statue of musician, Frederic Chopin), and the Royal Castle (the official residence of the Polish monarchs). In the afternoon, you will visit the Stanislaw Kostka Church and view a special exhibit dedicated to Fr. Jerzy Popiełuszko. This priest was a great personality of the Catholic Church, and killed by communists in 1984. In 1987, St. John Paul II visited here to pray in front of Fr. Popieluzko's tomb. Your tour of Warsaw will conclude by returning to the hotel for a delicious meal, followed by an overnight at your hotel.
Day 4 - Warsaw – Niepokalanow - Swinice Warckie – Czestochowa
This morning, you will enjoy a full breakfast followed a by a transfer to Niepokalanow (approximately forty-five minutes). This Franciscan Monastery is in the community of Teresin, and was founded by martyr, St. Maximilian Kolbe. This remarkable saint was arrested by the Nazis and died in Auschwitz, giving his life for the life of another prisoner. Following your visit to this Holy Monastery, you will transfer to the village of Swinice Warckie. In Swinice Warckie, you will visit the church of St. Casimir. This historically rich parish is the site of baptism for St. Faustina (formally known as, Helena Kowalska). Little Helena received her first confession, and First Holy Communion, at this parish. Additionally, she and her family attended Sunday Mass and other services at this church. After visiting this simple, yet elegant church, you will continue your transfer to Czestochowa (approximately two and a half hours). Upon arrival in Czestochowa, you will check-in to your hotel, enjoy a magnificent dinner, and a restful overnight.
Day 5 - Czestochowa - Wadowice – Zakopane
Today, you will awake in the home of the grandest pilgrimage shrine of Poland since the 14th century! You will begin your day with breakfast and Mass at Jasna Gora Monastery. This hill-top monastery is home to the beloved icon of the Black Madonna. Additionally, St. John Paul II is said to have made frequent visits to this monastery throughout his life. Tradition tells us that this icon was painted by Luke the Evangelist, discovered by St. Helen, and later enshrined. While here, you will have the opportunity to venerate not only the Holy Icon, but also many other priceless treasures that are contained within. Following your prayerful visit to the Chapel of the Black Madonna, you will continue on to Wadowice, the birthplace of Karol Wojtyla (St. John Paul II). While in the small city of Wadowice, you will have the opportunity to visit the church of where this beloved Saint was baptized, and attended Mass as a child. Following this historically captivating experience, you will continue your transfer to the resort village of Zakopane (approximately one hour and forty minutes). Upon arrival in Zakopane, you will enjoy dinner at your hotel before resting up for the next day of activities.
Day 6 - Zakopane – Krakow
Today you will awake in the breathtaking, yet small and remote village of Zakopane! After breakfast, you will take a cable car ride to the nearby mountaintop. At the top, you will truly experience God's magnificent Glory when you look out at the magnificent panoramic view. Following the many photos captured atop the mountain, your group will head to the Jaszczorowka Chapel. This architecturally distinct chapel was visited many times by the young, Karol Wojtyla (St. John Paul II). As a young boy, Karol Wojtyla often used the walking paths surrounding the Jaszczorowka Chapel for much prayer and reflection. After you experience this beautiful site that assisted in St. John Paul II's Holy journey, you will continue your tour to the colorful, Krupowki Street. While on this street, you will have the opportunity to do some shopping at the local bazaar before transferring to Krakow. On the way to Krakow, your group will stop at the Wieliczka Salt Mines (approximately one hour and forty minutes), where you will find magnificent chapels and religious sculptures that are carved in salt. Following this interesting visit, you will continue on to Krakow (approximately twenty-five minutes). Upon arrival in Krakow, you will enjoy a beautiful dinner and an optional stroll through the old city before retiring for the evening.
Day 7 - Krakow - Auschwitz - Krakow
After breakfast, you will explore Krakow's Market Square as the sound of the silver trumpet from St. Mary's Tower fills the air. The captivating beauty of this square is largely due to the fact that it has remained unchanged for almost 700 years. It contains a number of buildings that hold important historic value such as, the Town Hall Tower, the Cloth Hall, and the Burgher's houses. Following your time in this longstanding square, you will make your way to Wawel Hill, where you will visit the beautiful Cathedral, and Coronation Chapel. These are among the most important sites in Poland as the Cathedral has been the coronation site of the Polish monarchs and has held numerous pieces of Gothic, Renaissance, Baroque, Classicist and Modern art. Also at this site, you will have the opportunity to pray at the tomb of the patron saint of Poland, St. Stanislaus. Your tour continues with a transfer to Auschwitz (approximately one hour). Auschwitz is notoriously known as a Nazi concentration camp during the Second World War. Upon arriving at the former camp, you can feel the darkness and sorrow that overtakes the atmosphere as there were numerous unspeakable atrocities that occurred at this site. Additionally, while on this visit, you will have the opportunity to view the cell that imprisoned the Christ-like, St. Maximilian Kolbe, and visit the Martyrdom Museum. After this reflective day, you will return to your hotel in Krakow for dinner and a restful overnight.
Day 8 - Krakow – Divine Mercy - Lagiewniki - Krakow
On your last day of touring, you will depart for your excursion to Lagiewniki, the capital of the Divine Mercy (approximately three hours). Through the mediation of St. Faustina, Christ passed on the message of Divine Mercy at Lagiewniki. While here, you will have the opportunity to visit the Shrine of Divine Mercy that contains images of the Merciful Jesus, relics of St. Faustina, as well as, the Saint's convent chapel and her Tomb. Also, you will visit and celebrate Mass at the Shrine of Divinity, which was recently visited by St. John Paul II in 2002. Following Mass, you will pray by a relic of St. John Paul II before returning to Krakow for your farewell dinner and last overnight.
Day 9 – Return Home
Karol Wojtyla (St. John Paul II) was born in the Polish town of Wadowice on May 18, 1920. He moved to Krakow with his father in 1938, where he attended Jagiellonian University and began studying for the priesthood. He was ordained as a priest on November 1, 1946 and went on to continue his studies in Rome until 1948. He returned to Poland that same year for his first pastoral assignment in the village of Niegowic, which lasted seven months. He then was transferred to the parish of St. Florian in Krakow, where he also spent time hiking in the mountains and canoeing with young people.....click here to read more

I've also defined first that name server on the site where i bought the domain and pointed it to my ip.
Now, i understood that i have to wait 24-48 hours for this new domain to be available online.
Question: - is this a way to check on the server that i've succesfully configured it?
For instance: nslookup biografica.ro or nslookup www.biografica.ro or ping www.biografica.ro
do not work locally, on the server...
Can you give me an advice?
