RoleManagerModule.GetRoles Event
A global application event that is raised when the RoleManagerModule is ready to create a RolePrincipal that represents the current user.
Namespace: System.Web.Security
Assembly: System.Web (in System.Web.dll)
The GetRoles event is raised before the RoleManagerModule creates a RolePrincipal object and assigns it to the User property of the Current HttpContext. You can use this event to audit when role information is applied or to replace the creation of a RolePrincipal by the RoleManagerModule with your own code.
You can cancel the application of role information by the RoleManagerModule by setting the RolesPopulated property of the RoleManagerEventArgs to true in the GetRoles event.
If you set RolesPopulated to true in your GetRoles event handler, then the User property of the current HttpContext is not set to a RolePrincipal object by the RoleManagerModule.
The following example shows the GetRoles event included in the Global.asax file for an ASP.NET application. The GetRoles event adds a trace notification for an application where trace is enabled in the Web.config file.
Windows 8.1, Windows Server 2012 R2, Windows 8, Windows Server 2012, Windows 7, Windows Vista SP2, Windows Server 2008 (Server Core Role not supported), Windows Server 2008 R2 (Server Core Role supported with SP1 or later; Itanium not supported)

Reading the Bible and Praying in Public (Banner Booklet)
Publisher's Description
Bible reading and prayer are two elements in all evangelical church worship. At certain points in every service someone will read the Scriptures and lead the congregation in prayer. These regular acts of worship are so familiar that many probably take them for granted and do not think too seriously about them.
But what is the best way to read the Bible in public and what are the things we need to keep in mind if we are to lead others in public prayer? In Reading the Bible and Praying in Public, Stuart Olyott supplies us with wise practical advice on these vitally important acts of our corporate church worship.
About the Author
Stuart Olyott (b. 1942) became pastor of Belvidere Road Church in Liverpool after training at London Bible College and receiving a BD degree from the University of London. Liverpool pastorates occupied the periods 1967 to 1982 and 1991 to 1999. The intervening years were spent preaching the gospel in French in Lausanne, Switzerland, and pioneering new churches in both France and Switzerland.
Olyott has been awarded a MA from the University of Liverpool, and ThD from Trinity Theological Seminary, Indiana.
Stuart Olyott travels widely, helping and encouraging especially young and inexperienced pastors in the UK and Europe. Now semi-retired he continues his work as Pastoral Director of the Evangelical Movement of Wales. He is also an elder at Christ Church in Deeside, North Wales.

Anyone mind hooking me up? Nearly forgot about this with the FSU v. Miami game.
Nevermind, I'm good.
I'm watching it but not very closely.
Didn't the last fight end like twenty minutes ago? I forgot how much I hate spike TV. All filler and the same horrible 5 commercials over and over again.

Scratch that, its just locked up again, grrr!!
But I am going to try and see if I can perhaps clean the insides out using a can of compressed air, just some physical maintenance on it as such.
Maybe even see if there's anyway of maybe using a 2 hard drive system on it, perhaps its the new hd thats causing the problem but I dont see how.
I just think perhaps its maybe not up to part for centos 4.8, really worrying, do you know any Linux distro's that I would be able to use as a web, dns and email server for now?
That I can use with your tutorials that would work with the basic following spec:
1Ghz CPU from Pentium its a Celeron processor
256mb of ram (I know its not much but it was a freebie from some charity work I did for some kids, who got computers free of charge and I got one back for them saying thank you to me).
Any help is greatly appreciated,
PS If all else fails, I am going to have to get a refurbed computer (what I was hoping I wouldnt have to do), any good advice from anyone whos brought one from the UK? I want to try and see if I can go for virtualization but what kind of computer would I need for that?
Just maybe so I can seperate the DNS and web service on the 1st virtual and use the email on a seperate one to the main one, also I would like to use DHCP with the DNS (as I dont like the settings in my router, and my newer one kept crashing all the time, typical virgin media eh?).
As I said any helps much appreciated,

Summary. (1) NOTHING BUT 5-STAR REVIEWS (2) BEAUTIFULLY CUSTOM-FURNISHED (3) ALL AMENITIES, WIFI, HDTV, WASHER/DRYER INCLUDED (4) 20 ACRE ESTATE WITH GORGEOUS VIEWS (5) OWNERS ON SITE.
The Lakeway Mountain Cottage and Chateau is an INSPIRING destination set on a private mountain style Austin, Texas area estate with incredible views, stable, horses, spring-fed pond, and more. Consider this awesome hideaway for rest & renewal escapes, anniversaries, wedding stays, weekend retreats, short vacations, or even solitary work projects. The cottage is luxurious & spacious (over 1400 sq ft), has scenic chateau views, but yet maintains a cozy quaint feel derived from it's wonderful chateau & lodge style wildlife and mountain decor. It is also technologically smart, has all kinds of custom touches, and is kept immaculately clean. The cottage is vintage Texas hill country at it's best!
Overview. The details are stunning. The setting is a majestic 20 acre mountainside estate, beautiful, quiet and protected, on the edge of Lakeway, just outside Austin, Texas. The custom-built mountain cottage home--separately located atop a scenic section of the estate--is visually impressive, as well as warm and inviting. The approach is via winding private drive, over pond and creek, through the trees, to scenic hilltop views with private parking and outdoor landscaping. Upon entering the cottage, guests are greeted by an exquisite large main living area with high-gloss floors, stonework & area rugs, an antique-style gas iron fireplace, comfortable leather seating, beautiful high pine wood ceilings, and furs all around. The view west—back through the windows--is incredible!
A granite full kitchen, large bathroom (with huge beautiful dual head shower), & cozy bedroom add to the smartly designed & spacious-feeling charm of the cottage home. The decorated stairway and grand loft above—both of which overlook the main living area--allow for even more space to enjoy and entertain from.
Because the cottage is outfitted with a 55' wall-mounted LED HDTV, free WiFi, and convenient workspaces on both levels, you can easily check-in with the world, home and office--without missing a beat.
The cottage exterior boasts expansive outdoor living and walking areas, porch, patio, artistically crafted majestic rock walls, stone paths, a smoker/grill, and scenic Hill Country Mountain views.
Only 4.5 miles from Lake Travis, 3.5 miles from the Lakeway Airpark and 25 miles from Austin Bergstrom International Airport. A perfect escape with up-to-date amenities & technologies!
To EXPEDITE your STAY call: 512-263-8047. Bookings are limited to 2 adult occupants. Checks and credit cards are accepted. On-line booking is also available. WiFi Internet, HD Cable, Washer/Dryer, and taxes are all included.
For those venturing beyond the estate grounds, Lakeway Mountain is surrounded by wonderful places to visit: hiking/walking trails, spas, lake and water sports, golf, places to dine and shop, wineries, as well as opportunities for further day excursions into Austin, Fredericksburg, Wimberley, New Braunfels, and other central Texas arts communities. Guests claim that the cottage's location is ideal, and its convenience, beauty and privacy unequalled for the area.
(5 Star area Convenience: great dining, entertainment, groceries, and shopping are all within 2 miles of this awesome hideout!)
IMPORTANT: Do not rely solely on the posted reservations calendar. If your preferred booking date appears to conflict with an existing guest reservation, make inquiry nonetheless. Availability may exist due to cancellation or scheduling changes!
Property Detail: 1,400 square foot stone guesthouse/chateau/cottage decorated in vintage Texas Hill country style by the owners with high pine ceilings, interior stone and wood walls in the great room, and a beautiful black iron gas fireplace (operational 11/30-3/1 with instant on-off). Various furs, hides and leather including a large bear rug adorn the main room with deer, turkey, bobcat, and other display mounts throughout. The loft boasts a large 6-person table for work or small gatherings. Awesome views and sunsets, seasonal paint quarter horses, rolling fenced pastures, white rail fences, a one-of-a-kind working stone barn, a spring-fed pond, and more.
Quiet, private and secluded, a distant 250 feet away from the owners' main house, the cottage is a one-of-a-kind haven of rest and renewal during any season! It is a hide-away trappers cabin for the male, and a romantic, quiet and tastefully decorated chateau with majestic views and gorgeous kitchen, bath, and bedroom for the female.
Beautiful high country panoramas and sunsets create a one of a kind Texas Hill Country escape. The larger property boasts a quarter-acre spring-fed pond, a one-of-a-kind working stone barn with a rabbit, chickens, and barn cats, white rail fences, rolling pastures, and seasonal horses.
A stone path from the cottage leads up to a patio overlook with outdoor fireplace and smoker/grill—perfect for a sunset bottle of wine or just relaxing under the Texas stars after dark. You will feel like you are at a private Texas mountain lodge, yet with all the modern conveniences.
Stroll the property, explore the barn and rolling pastures, see the pond, hike the parks and awesome nearby nature trails, play the area golf courses, enjoy Lake Travis water sports, or scout Lakeway and nearby Austin for the best area shopping, stores and restaurants; or venture west just 30 minutes or so into the Hill Country to visit the wineries, small towns and quaint shops. See: http://www.texaswinetrail.com.
Better yet, just stay in the cottage, and enjoy the privacy and amenities. A perfect spot for weekend sport watchers also!
This awesome hideout is only 25 miles from downtown Austin on the edge of Lakeway, 30 miles from the Austin Bergstrom International Airport. It's 15 minutes to the Lakeway Marina and Live Oak golf Course. Three public golf courses (Falcon Head, Flintrock Falls, The Hills) and the World of Tennis facility are all within a short 3 miles. The new Lakeway Regional Medical center is 5 minutes from the cottage (out of sight, but there if you need it). The Hill Country Galleria Mall and Backyard music venue are both only ten minutes away. During a Backyard event, one can relax on the high patio vista or cottage front porch under the stars and often pick up the faint sound of live music from world famous bands drifting in on the night air.
Although guests wouldn't know it (because one feels as if he has been wisked away to a hill country mountain hideaway), this property is located in the midst of some of the best restaurants, lakes, entertainment, music, recreation, and leisure activities in the state (including the famous Oasis Restaurant, Hudsons on the Bend, the Grove, Maudie's, Iron Cactus and the Bee Cave Tavern. Boating, golf, tennis, water sports, shopping, fine restaurants, live music and wineries are not far. Day trips to Fredericksburg (1 ½ hours away), Johnson City, and the LBJ Ranch afford great opportunities to explore the Texas Hill Country from this Lakeway base. Downtown Austin, The University of Texas, seasonal Austin bats under the Congress Bridge, Longhorn Cavern and Inner Space Cavern, discount outlet malls (Round Rock & San Marcos) are all within 45 miles.

This estate cottage is one of a kind, and is the perfect place for (1) a couples scenic vacation retreat (with beautiful sunsets and area restaurants); (2) an individual's peaceful and solitary escape from the fast-paced urban world; (3) a writer's hideaway with majestic views, paths and points for inspiration; or (4) an executives' business retreat.

If you are interested in making memories and want a private place to take some awesome photos: (1) alongside a horse at sunset, or (2) in and around a beautiful hill country native stone barn, or (3) maybe in the panorama of surrounding fields and trees, then this is the place to do it all! Go to lakewaymountain.com for more information.
BED & BARN travelers are welcome--for those with horses.
IMPORTANT NOTE: The property is scenic and beautiful, but maintained primarily in a natural state. The owners are not responsible for variations in property appearance and condition, whether due to seasonal changes, short or long-term weather patterns and events (heat, cold, rain, drought, flood, etc) or otherwise.
The owners love pets and animals, but guests' PETS are NOT ALLOWED due to compatibility issues with existing animals, wildlife on the property, and interior allergy concerns of other guests.
The owners reserve the right to refuse any reservation for any reason. A standard full release and indemnity agreement is required of all guests upon arrival.
The owners are an active couple, married over 30 years, who love the Texas Hill Country, its scenic views, streams, rocks and wildlife. They purchased the first section of the subject property in 1985, cleared and developed it, and raised 4 children on it. Now, they would love to share it! They reside on site in the main house, approximately 250 feet away from the guest cottage.

The owners purchased and developed the property because of its wildlife, majestic vistas and sunsets, starry nights, wide expanses, and privacy. It is safe, peaceful and comfortable. Horses, meadows, a working barn and garden, a spring-fed pond, and your own separate driveway are all part of the nearly 20 acre estate.
This estate cottage home is the essence of Texas hill country style, charm and beauty!! Guests will feel as if they have been whisked away to a unique and secluded alpine-style stone mountain residence, yet will also be in the heart of an area with excellent restaurants, entertainment, music, shopping, and lakeside water sports--all close by. The property has its own access drive, its own scenic paths and patios, pond, indoor and outdoor fireplaces to warm the heart (you will particularly enjoy the dancing flames from the cast iron fire stove on chilly nights), room to walk, exercise and explore the nearly 20 acres, clean country air, wildlife, deer, rabbits, beautiful birds, breezes on the porch, wine, tea, horses, gardening, hiking, biking, walking, fishing, boating, shopping, eating out, movies, music, nature...you name it. This place has it all!
NOTE: Periodically, for select customers, we also accept inquiries as to availability of the entire scenic Estate Property as a venue for weddings, receptions and other events! Please contact us for more information).
This spectacular accommodation is perfectly located on a large private estate property at Two Creeks, Lakeway with entry gate, scenic winding passage through hills and trees, across a pond and creek, and up a climbing drive to the cottage. Beautifully picturesque, safe, peaceful and comfortable. Horses, meadows, a working barn, a spring-fed pond, and your own separate driveway are all part of the nearly 20 acre estate. The 1400 sq ft cottage home is an independent private residence completed in 2010 away from the owners' main home on the estate.
Walk and exercise on the property's private roads, or hike the majestic Rough Hollow trails and sidewalks just 3 miles away. The Lakeway Airpark is just 3.5 miles away. The Lakeway Marina and Lake Travis are just 4.5 miles from this location. The Flintrock Falls golf course is across the street, and there are many other nearby courses. The Hill Country Galleria, Shops at the Galleria, Backyard music venue, and many awesome restaurants surround this location. The new Lakeway Regional Medical center is just off Flintrock road, approximately 4 minutes from the cottage.
Wineries and tours are also abundant around this Central Texas area. See:http://www.texaswinetrail.com
AVAILABLE as a BED AND BARN for those traveling with horses.
AVAILABILITY FOR PHOTOS, PORTRAITS AND EVENTS: The entirety of this scenic hill country estate property, native stone barn, 5,000 sq ft main house, and cottage is occasionally made available for PHOTO SHOOTS, PORTRAITS, WEDDINGS, RECEPTIONS AND SHORT TERM EVENT GATHERINGS. If you are making memories and want a private place to take some awesome photos alongside (or on!) a lovely paint horse, or in and around a beautiful hill country native stone barn, or standing in panoramic fields, riding horseback in a high-country arena with scenic views all about, or posing inside or outside a charming hill country stone cottage, this is the place to do it all!

text: I am going to buy a Kimber, and my heart is set on it, unless I get convincing evidence of it not being a good weapon. But, my question to all is which would be the better style to buy for concealment and comfort? Should the black ultra II or the two tone CDP? Also, all the ones I have looked at are around the 1000.00 to 1200.00 price range and mostly with the external extractor. Any help in making this decision would be greatly appreciated.

Help scientists study how bird populations are changing during the Great Backyard Bird Count.
The challenge of how to feed a growing population is one of the most urgent issues we face. By 2050, the world population is expected to grow by a quarter and reach 9.5 billion. Twenty-eight companies—including Monsanto, General Mills, and PepsiCo—recently formed a "New Vision for Agriculture" initiative in an effort to form a strategy to feed billions of more people for the decades ahead. The group recently presented its vision at the World Economic Forum in Davos, calling for increased investment in a "technical approach to farming that increases productivity." Yet notably absent in this new effort is a recognition that world hunger could be combatted more effectively through technologies that companies like Monsanto and Pepsi can't monetize—namely, technologies for post-harvest food preservation.
Recent studies by the Word Bank and UN FAO have shown clearly that we already have enough food to feed a growing population if we only saved it. More than one-third of the food produced worldwide is lost to spoilage and waste. Individuals in developing countries living in food insecurity are impacted the greatest by these losses. Reducing post-harvest food losses in developing countries can have a major impact on reducing the hunger and poor health suffered by its citizens, potentially outpacing—by far—the incremental advances in yield made through the genetic alteration of seed and the heavy use of fertilizers and pesticides. Yet up until now, there has been an absence of will on the part of industry to support post-harvest preservation technologies. This may be owing to the fact that the companies who produce seed and foodstuffs make money from selling as much of their product as possible, but not from the customer who is able to preserve what they grow or buy.
The Obama administration has shown signs that they recognize the importance of saving food. On February 19th, I took part in a U.S. State Department conference on "Food Security and Minimizing Post-harvest Loss: Markets, Applied Research, and Innovation." More than 180 attended, many from embassies of developing countries. I was encouraged by some of the technology and programs presented at this conference to reduce post-harvest losses in developing countries. Yet the meeting lacked representatives of the major food companies who say they want to be part of the solution to ending world hunger.
We need to harness the support both of government and industry to save the food that needlessly goes to waste. How can we do this?
At the State Department conference, I was able to present my dream of establishing a World Food Preservation Center. I believe this center will produce independent and self-sustaining programs within developing countries to reduce their post-harvest losses of food in a substantial manner. This concept has grown out of my 50-plus year research career, including decades with the U.S. Department of Agriculture— where I have had the privilege of hosting a number of young aspiring post-harvest scientists in my laboratory to conduct research on the biological control of post-harvest diseases. These young scientists, such as Dr. Saneya El-Newshawy from Egypt, returned to their countries and establish independent self-sustaining research programs of their own.
The World Food Preservation Center will have a world-class faculty that could educate young aspiring post-harvest scientists from developing countries in the most advanced and appropriate technologies for the preservation of food in their countries. The center will be at the forefront of innovative, inexpensive technologies for the preservation of food—such as solar refrigeration for storage and transport, biological control of pests, and active and intelligent packaging. Scientists from more than forty developing countries have endorsed the idea of the Center. If created, it could play a significant role in ending a stubborn culture of dependency that has often plagued international food-aid programs. It could provide developing countries methods to improve food security on their own. It could also enhance our national security; political unrest often results from food scarcity, and a minimal investment in post-harvest technologies can ameliorate these challenges before they arise.
The solution to world hunger cannot be driven solely by genetic alteration of seed and the heavy application of chemical fertilizers and pesticides. These approaches have placed burdens on the environment that have become increasingly difficult to bear. We have the potential to combat world hunger with a strategy far more simple: making sure that the food we create is actually eaten.

This is a perfect recipe for using up leftover roast lamb.
This recipe is part of our guide to economical cooking which shows you how to stretch a roast shoulder of lamb to 4 meals. For a step-by-step guide to cooking the roast lamb, see Nick's recipe for roast shoulder of lamb and for the other recipe ideas see our guide to economical cooking.
Preparation time 15 minutes
Cooking time 1 hour
Serves 4
- One portion of leftover lamb, flaked
- 2 leeks, cut into 1 inch chunks
- 1 onion, halved and thinly sliced
- 1 courgette, halved lengthways, halved again lengthways and chopped into inch long pieces
- 1 carrot, cut into 5mm wide "match sticks"
- 1 red pepper, deseeded and sliced
- 1 aubergine, cut into small chunks
- A big handful of raisins
- A big glug of honey
- 1 tbsp of ras el hanout spice mix (optional, if you have some)
- Olive oil, salt and pepper
- 300g couscous
Preheat your oven to 180ºC/ 350ºF
Chuck all the vegetables into a large baking dish, drizzle a big glug of olive oil and the honey, add the ras el hanout if you're using it, season and stir well together.
Roast the vegetables in the oven, stirring occasionally, until they are soft and a little golden.
With 5 minutes to go, make the couscous as per the interactions on the packet.
Chuck the lamb in with the veg for the last few minutes too.
Stir the cooked couscous into the veg in the baking tin (it means the couscous gets all the lovely cooking juices), throw in the raisins and serve immediately.
I like adding a few drops of tabasco to my portion before eating it!

Security on the Egyptian peninsula should be an issue of U.S.-Egyptian-Israel cooperation.
- Pakistan on the Brink
- The Future of U.S.-Mexico Relations
- The Eurozone's Austerity-Growth Debate
- U.S. Policy Options Toward Myanmar
I remember in 2008 sitting in the office of Abdel Monem Said Aly who at the time was the director of the Al Ahram Center for Strategic Studies when the subject of the Sinai came up. It was a few months' time after Hamas had blown a hole in the wall that separates Gaza from the Egyptian frontier, resulting in thousands of Palestinians rushing into the Sinai to buy supplies and seek medical care. Abdel Monem was not unmoved by the plight of the Palestinians, but he was clearly worried about Egyptian security. He asked me what I thought would happen if a Palestinian extremist group were able to infiltrate Israel from the Sinai and carry out some sort of deadly attack. "How would Israel respond?" Abdel Monem asked rhetorically. He knew that the Israelis would respond, but how, where, and to what extent were unknowns that clearly unsettled him. At one end of the escalation ladder, the Israelis military might try to push into the Sinai much like the Israel Defense Force's periodic advances in Lebanon or the Turkish military's incursions into northern Iraq. This would no doubt put the Egypt-Israel peace treaty and thus Egyptian security in jeopardy. Perhaps the Israelis would use some other tactic, but either way this would create a terrible security dilemma for Egypt's leaders. The Egyptians could absorb the blow and be forced to confront additional opprobrium of their people or they could respond and risk a conflict with Israel that they would likely lose.
Abdel Monem later became the chairman of the board of the government-controlled al Ahram Foundation and was thus by definition part of the regime. He was pushed out of that lofty position after the uprising, though he continues to have a column at the daily newspaper, al Ahram. Abdel Monem is a member of the widely detested felool--remnants--but he was and still is a very good strategic analyst. Why the meditation on a meeting that happened four years ago? You would never know it from the msm, twitter, or anywhere else, but Abdel Monem's Sinai scenarios could become a reality soon. On Wednesday, the IDF mobilized six reserve battalions (an additional 16 were authorized and will be mobilized, if necessary) as a precautionary measure given the potential for instability in the Syria and Egypt to affect Israeli security.
This issue has been simmering for since last summer, but it seems to be heating up now. On April 24, the Israeli prime minister called the Sinai the "Wild West." Netanyahu was responding the bombing of the el Arish -Ashkelon pipeline--the fourteenth--but Israel's concerns run deeper than a commercial deal that is now in jeopardy. As I wrote last August, the Sinai is a haven for drug smuggling, human trafficking, gun running, and extremists of all types, ranging from Egyptian takfiris and Palestinian jihadists to al Qaeda sympathizers. The obvious answer to the problem of security in the Sinai is to deploy more Egyptian forces in the area, a step that is subject to Israeli approval under the Camp David Accords and the Egypt-Israel peace treaty. The Israelis have actually been forward leaning on the issue, giving the Supreme Council of the Armed Forces the green light for Operation Eagle last summer and Israel's Defense Minister, Ehud Barak, signaled that Jerusalem might be willing to revisit the restrictions on Egyptian forces in the Sinai.
So if the problem is not necessarily the Israelis, what is it? In a word, Egypt. The reason for Israel's mobilization is not only because the IDF does not believe that the Egyptian armed forces are up to the task of cleaning up the mess in the Sinai, but the Egyptian military happens to share that view. By all measures, Operation Eagle failed and the Egyptian have no capacity to plan and execute a sustained military effort in the Sinai that would improve the security environment there. As a result, Israeli leaders have clearly determined that if the next rocket to land on Eilat kills someone, they are going to have to deal with the problem themselves. The Israelis have every right to defend themselves, but an Israeli attack on Egypt soil would not end well for anyone. I guarantee it.

Why IAC/InterActiveCorp (IACI) Stock Is Surging Today
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Shares of media and Internet company IAC/InterActiveCorp (IACI) are up 3.85% to $71.00 after it recently bought an additional 10% of Tinder from venture capitalist Chamath Palihapitiya for $500 million, sources say, Bloomberg reports.
That values Tinder Inc., a mobile-dating site with 10 million daily users, at $5 billion, compared with IAC's $5.57 billion market capitalization.

STOCKS TO BUY: TheStreet Quant Ratings has identified a handful of stocks that can potentially TRIPLE in the next 12 months. Learn more.TheStreet Ratings team rates IAC/INTERACTIVECORP as a Buy with a ratings score of A+. TheStreet Ratings Team has this to say about their recommendation: "We rate IAC/INTERACTIVECORP (IACI) a BUY. This is based on the convergence of positive investment measures, which should help this stock outperform the majority of stocks that we rate. The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its solid stock price performance, impressive record of earnings per share growth, compelling growth in net income, notable return on equity and reasonable valuation levels. Although the company may harbor some minor weaknesses, we feel they are unlikely to have a significant impact on results." Highlights from the analysis by TheStreet Ratings Team goes as follows:
- Powered by its strong earnings growth of 91.30% and other important driving factors, this stock has surged by 60.08% over the past year, outperforming the rise in the S&P 500 Index during the same period. Regarding the stock's future course, although almost any stock can fall in a broad market decline, IACI should continue to move higher despite the fact that it has already enjoyed a very nice gain in the past year.
- IAC/INTERACTIVECORP reported significant earnings per share improvement in the most recent quarter compared to the same quarter a year ago. The company has demonstrated a pattern of positive earnings per share growth over the past two years. We feel that this trend should continue. During the past fiscal year, IAC/INTERACTIVECORP increased its bottom line by earning $3.27 versus $1.81 in the prior year. This year, the market expects an improvement in earnings ($3.90 versus $3.27).
- The net income growth from the same quarter one year ago has significantly exceeded that of the S&P 500 and the Internet Software & Services industry. The net income increased by 88.8% when compared to the same quarter one year prior, rising from $40.74 million to $76.92 million.
- Current return on equity exceeded its ROE from the same quarter one year prior. This is a clear sign of strength within the company. Compared to other companies in the Internet Software & Services industry and the overall market, IAC/INTERACTIVECORP's return on equity exceeds that of both the industry average and the S&P 500.

Though 0 might be a bad idea to use, I'd use something weird like -1000 instead now that I think about it.

[resolved] Issues with Shootorial #2
Disregard. I found my problem. I missed the part about "entering" the movie and THEN copying and pasting.
I am following the Shootorial #2 tutorial and having an issue with the background scrolling. When it gets to the end of the first background it shows the second (like it should) but then rather than jump back seemlessly to the beginning of the first (thus restarting the loop) it gets to the end of the second and then jumps back into the middle of the second, and then does that over and over. What am I doing wrong?

Ed cetera
Join the informed, opinionated journalists of The Times' editorial staff in lively discussions at our blog Ed Cetera.
CES: Is your TV big enough? No.
It's time for CES, the orgy of electronic gadgets and tech doodads in Las Vegas. There is nothing so American as this trade show. Can you ever be rich enough? Skinny enough? Can your TV ever be big enough? "No" is the resounding answer, played on thousands of speakers in four convention halls for the entire week.
Don't think of it as a trade show. Think of it as Bumbershoot. It's just as big, crowded, slow to navigate and loud. I covered CES as a tech reporter for The Seattle Times in the early '00s, and again in the '10s. My best friends were a backpack and sneakers. (And I never wear sneakers to work.)
The show started in Las Vegas Tuesday night with the keynote, which is traditionally given by Microsoft's chief executive. The big news this year is that Microsoft chose not to offer Steve Ballmer for the keynote. The company wanted to focus on holding its own product-launch events. (Another sign that Microsoft wants to be more like Apple.)
But Ballmer showed up anyway, according to Brier Dudley, a tech reporter for the news side who is in Vegas. Microsoft and CES — they're the couple that broke up and keeps getting back together. It's cute.
Some of the new products shown here will be relentlessly hawked to holiday shoppers in late 2013. It is a monument to consumerism, and innovation. CES is where I saw my first high-def television. My first thumb drive. The first iPhone case that could also open beer bottles.
But most of the hype you will read this week is hot air. I saw high-def televisions in 2002, but it was several years before they became affordable for a middle-class family. Two years ago the show was all about 3-D TVs, and I doubt most families are ready to chuck their flat-screens to wear sunglasses in their living room. I'll be glued to the coverage like a geek anyway.

text: Politically, can we get anything right over there? Why the botched execution matters by AJ in DC - 1/03/2007 03:48:00 PM By now it's clear to everyone not living in a cave that the Saddam execution was a botched, amateurish debacle. I wrote last week that I'm neither opposed to the death penalty nor its application to Saddam, but the way it was carried out was highly representative of the ham-handed and dangerous failures of both the Bush administration and the nascent Iraqi government. The fact that something so important was screwed up so badly, and on such a massive scale, is chilling. I initially suspected that the execution would have little effect on the overall situation in Iraq, certainly not improving things but also not doing much to inflame people who hardly need, at this point, more motivation to hate each other. But I committed a blunder that is, for me, exceptionally rare: I assumed that somehow this, a historic and potentially inflammatory event, would be handled with even a minimal amount of decorum and professionalism by the Bush administration and the Iraqi government. Instead, the Bush administration turned over Saddam to the Iraqi government prematurely . . . to a band of thugs-as-executioners . . . who wore not uniforms but leather jackets and ski masks . . . who shouted Shia chants, including invocations of Moqtada al-Sadr . . . all of which was illicitly videotaped and then emailed around Iraq and throughout the world . . . on, no less, one of the holiest days of the Sunni religious calendar. Virtually everything that could have been screwed up, was. And now, against virtually all odds, Saddam managed to look good by dying and the Iraqi and U.S. governments are scrambling to do damage control in the face of massive Sunni demonstrations, international condemnation, and the general disgust of pretty much everyone who knows anything about Iraq.
