DC Week-In-Review: November 2nd
So…you come down from that Halloween sugar rush yet? Well, if you have at least you have a nice long weekend ahead of you to recover and read some of those extra-sized annuals that came out Wednesday. Actually, it felt like this entire week was extra-sized with everything that was happening around here on DCComics.com. Super-Villains Month, Halloween, Justice League Kias… Let's discuss a few highlights for people who might have missed out.
Here's what went down this week on the DC Comics website…
This week saw the release of four eagerly awaited annuals, and we made sure to shine our editorial spotlight on each one of them in turn. Last week we looked at Justice League Dark and Batgirl. This week, however, we took a good look at the Becky Cloonan-illustrated SWAMP THING ANNUAL #1 and the kryptonite-fueled chaos of ACTION COMICS ANNUAL #1.
We also revealed the results of our poll to elect 2012's Ultimate Super-Villain Team. This group represents the most popular baddies in the comic book biz, as chosen by the people who should know—the fans! If you haven't yet seen the roster, you're definitely going to want to take a look to check if your favorite villain made the cut. Frankly, we're a little disappointed that Ambush Bug didn't…
On Tuesday we took Batman fans on a trip through Li'l Gotham, a fun, colorful take on the world of the Dark Knight as envisioned by author and artist Dustin Nguyen and co-writer Derek Fridolfs. If you like what you see, don't forget to download the first issue, which is available now in the DC Digital Store.
If only that trip came courtesy of a sweet, custom-built ride like one of Justice League-inspired Kias. We unveiled four new ones at the SEMA Show in Las Vegas, each one modeled after a different hero. Click here to read about the cars based on Green Lantern, the Flash, Aquaman and Cyborg, as well as the previously revealed Batman car. And keep an eye out for the final three cars in 2013!
Superman fans had much to savor this week with the release of SUPERMAN: EARTH ONE Vol. 2. We celebrated this highly anticipated graphic novel by showing off some pages from Shane Davis' Earth One sketchbook. Then we expanded the Clark Kent conversation by breaking down the 5.2 Reasons it's a great time to be a Superman fan in our popular weekly feature.
Halloween fell on a Wednesday this year, which means we not only got candy, but new comics as well (we'll be telling tales and singing songs about that glorious day well into our golden years…or at least until our friends tell us to shut up about it). We made sure we had lots of ways for you to celebrate the day DC-style, including plenty of scary comics, which we discussed right here.
We also wrapped up Super-Villains Month with an exclusive image of the Joker from the upcoming Injustice: Gods Among Us videogame. If you think that grin's frightening, wait till you hear his laugh…
DC Collectibles launched a new edition of Spoiler Alert (which is currently continuing on the DC Collectibles Facebook page). Look for the reveal and another sweet treat from the Collectibles crew next week here in THE SOURCE. And no, we're not talking about candy. We've all had more than enough of that this week…
Batman fans wondering who might be behind the upcoming installments of Legends of the Dark Knight got a list of the titles and creative teams behind the next several storylines. Chris Sprouse and Karl Story drawing Batman? Yes, please!
Finally, readers of Action Comics got a dark little surprise when they read the Action Comics Annual's backup story (if "read" is even the correct descriptor, considering the story's entirely wordless). What was it? Well, we'd hate to ruin it for you…but that's kind of the point of This Just Happened, isn't it?
Shocks, surprises, costumes, masks… It's like comic books and Halloween were made for each other! Do we really have to wait another year to do it again? Well, at least the next two days are days off. And with that…we'll see you all again in seven!

Dan Chiras questions the idea that disposable items are worth the tremendous waste they create.
Instead of throwing out that empty feedbag, get creative and turn it into something new! Homesteader...
These money- and waste-saving alternatives to paper and plastic products eliminate the temptation to...
Never in a million years would I think a show about storage auctions could be so amazing, edgy and r...
In the past, vacuum cleaner bags were made of cloth and could be reused by unzipping and emptying them. Today's disposable thinking has led to disposable paper vacuum bags.
I've figured out a simple way to reuse these paper bags. The bottom end of the bag is usually folded over a few times and glued shut. To reuse a bag, I carefully unroll the end, trying not to tear the bag. I then refold it and hold it closed with two or three spring clips. When the bag is full, I remove it carefully from the vacuum, remove the clips, empty the bag, reassemble and install. I've gotten years of weekly house cleaning use from just one bag.
Duct tape can be used on small holes in the bag, or to reinforce the area where the clips go. Just don't duct tape the whole bag, as it needs to "breathe."

International Housewares Association
The International Housewares Association (IHA), in response to an industry calling, has established a template for social responsibility issues. This template seeks to establish guidelines to ensure that working conditions in the housewares industry supply chain are safe, that workers are treated with respect and dignity and that business operations are ethical and environmentally responsible.
These guidelines provide tools that define a broad range of expectations without being overly specific in most cases. The scope of this document is also limited and may not capture every situation specific to your business' makeup. However, we hope that IHA members will use this document to help ensure that employees are respected, laws are followed, ethical standards are maintained and the environment is protected for generations to come.
For more information on IHA social responsibility issues, please visit
Nike Environmental Design Tool
Nike is releasing its Environmental Apparel Design Tool with supporting data and methodology for public review. We hope by sharing this knowledge it will accelerate collaboration and encourage broader adoption of sustainability principles. The Tool evaluates waste, energy, toxics and water in materials and manufacturing, enabling companies to affect the most significant components of a product's environmental impact. It is a beginning; a building block from which something better can be created. We welcome your collaboration. The more that our industry works toward a common goal, the more likely we are to develop scalable, viable environmental solutions.

i'm afraid putting frozen pork chops directly on a grill is not going to work. how soon do you need to grill them? you can defrost overnight in the fridge or in a bag in a bowl with cold tap water running on it. running hot water over an extended period of time is not a good idea because of food-borne illness issues.
Yes you can cook them frozen. Obviously it will take a little longer, but not as much as you might think.
Consider how quickly a steak right out of the refrigerator goes from 40F to 130F over a bed of hot coals, a gain of 90 degrees. Starting at 0F doesn't even constitute a 50% difference.
But Chef, won't you also have ice water dripping down on your coals cooling off your fire? My own method would be do an overnight defrost and then allow the chops to come back up to close to room temperature. I admit I've never slapped a frozen one directly over a hot grill before.
If they are very thick cuts, I would wait for them to defrost. But if you think they're okay to grill, you can always sear it on the grill first, then reduce the heat or put it in indirect heat.
Well played.

The award-winning Library of Birmingham (LB), which garnered applause and approval across the U.K. when it was built in 2013, is about to fall on hard times. After opening to great fanfare a little over a year ago, the library has been finding it hard to keep up with costs, citing a lack of private sponsorship and the Birmingham City Council's (BCC) failure to raise promised money from land sales. Then at the end of 2014 the BCC announced a round of austerity measures that will cut some £72 million in funding for the arts, parks and recreation, care services, cemeteries, and children's care services for 2015–16. Approximately £1.5 million will be cut from LB's annual £10 million operating costs, meaning that 100 of the library's 188 staff could be eliminated, and its hours reduced from 73 to 40 per week.
Public Library Design Contest Opens | New Landmark Libraries
Library design is forward-thinking by nature, yet the idea of the library—as a gateway to learning, a public space open to all, a place to find what you're looking for—is iconic. Today's public libraries are re-imagining services, space, collections, and programming in ways that engage communities and celebrate creativity. Their design reflects a changing reality, yet also needs to stand the test of time. LJ's New Landmark Libraries initiative identifies the top new libraries to look at for ideas and inspiration. The 2015 New Landmark Libraries will focus on public libraries that have completed new construction, expansion, or significant renovation within the last four years (2010–2014). We are accepting submissions now through March 31.

Year in Architecture 2014: Commons Sense
The library construction projects completed between July 1, 2013, and June 30, 2014, seem to have found common purpose around a common theme: community. As such, many of the 16 academic projects and 84 public library capital efforts find themselves at the center of their respective neighborhoods. Whether large or small, on an expansive budget or a shoestring, these facilities strengthen ties among their constituencies and between learning and entertainment.

Toyota Camry: Problems & Solutions
guevinj Posts: 15I have had a front-end vibration problem with my '98 Camry LE 4 cyl. that NO ONE has been able to solve. I'm hoping someone here on the board can offer some insight/suggestions.
In February, I purchased four new Toyo all-season tires, had them mounted and computer-balanced, and had a 4-wheel alignment done on my car. When I got the car back, it pulled to the left, and there was a distinct "wobble" vibration in the steering wheel, coming out of a turn and also at highway speeds over 60 mph. After several unsuccessful trips back to the tire dealer to have the balance and alignment re-checked, I turned to a local Toyota dealer. They ruled out bad axles as a source of the problems. As an experiment, the Toyota dealer put 4 new tires from a new Camry (with its new rims) on my car, test-drove it, and found the car tracked straight, with no vibration. They said there was either a problem with the tires I bought or with the rims.
I went back to the tire dealer with this info. The tire dealer determined that the tires were fine, but all the rims were bent to some degree. They assured me that replacing all four rims would take care of the problem. I did replace all the rims, and believe it or not, I still get a vibration, and the car still pulls to the left!!
I am completely at my wit's end. I've replaced all four tires, all four rims, had the car aligned and balanced, and the vibration in the steering wheel remains. I've spent more hours in these shops than I care to count. I never had any vibration or alignment problems before I had these new tires put on. Does anyone have any idea what else could be causing these problems?? Thanks for any help. -
imidazol97 Crossroads of America: I70 & I75Posts: 18,643Did the tire dealer move the front tires left to right to see if that affected the lead in the steering?
Then did they move the backs to the front to see if that affect the wobble and shaking?
If the car was okay with the new car wheels on it, the problem is not in the car. Had a friend where (a tire discounter store) put the wrong size on LeSabre to replace a damaged front tire.
Have you checked that all four tires are same size? -
guevinj Posts: 15No, the dealer has not crossed the front tires, nor put the backs on the fronts. I will go back again and have them try that. However, I don't understand why there should be any need to do this, with 4 brand new tires and new rims that have been set up to spec in both balance and alignment. If everything is new and in spec, shouldn't it be vibration-free no matter what tire is on what axle? The tires are all the same size, P195/70R14, and the air pressure is 30 pounds in each one. I can't imagine where the wobble in the steering wheel is coming from if the rims are, in fact, true (not bent). Might there be a steering problem causing the vibration?
armtdm Posts: 2,057After playing with this problem for a year now we still have it.
Only occurs when engine is warm
Only happen in gear not in Park
Only happens when sitting at a light or stopped for at least 30 seconds or longer.
Go to press the pedal and it won't move then you apply more pressure it jump starts.
If the throttle body was dirty I assume it would stick in park as well? Linkage seems OK. Why only in gear?
Has anyone solved the sticking gas pedal in a Camry V6? -
shimmer Posts: 2I know of a 1992 camry thats motor went bad at 158000 miles I do not know why but they replaced it with a 1996 factory rebuilt motor it is in good shape other wise I owned a camry back in the early 80's but have not had one since. I have seen some complaints on the camry on these pages but none realy on the 92's I am considering buying this car for 3,200 with the new engine and 4 new tires if anyone has anything to say about the 92 year or the difference in motor's or the price I am considering to pay please let me know it would be greatly apprieciated
paul29 Posts: 178Your tire/s may be out of round and need to be remounted on their rim/s to bring into spec ( can be checked on the balancer ). A tire mounted out of round will give the same effect as a tire out of balance . The procedure imidazol97 gave to correct the "pull" works almost every time assuming everything else is in spec .

Does anyone else have a problem with getting zapped when they get out of their car. It only happens on the drivers side. I've tried touching different parts of the car to avoid the VISIBLE electric charge that comes off the door. Different shoes don't help. I actually had the service writer come out and witness this. He said he was quite impressed but had no answer or help to offer. -
stnick Posts: 177Try a product called "Cling Free" spray on the seat fabric. It's sold in most stores. Ladies have bought it for years to spray on clingy dresses and the like. I used to use it on a Ford Ranger that had a big problem with that, especially in winter. I don't notice it too much on my 03 XLE. Nick
imidazol97 Crossroads of America: I70 & I75Posts: 18,643If the air in your region is low humidity right now, the problem may go away as the humidity increases. The Scotchgard spray may also help with static (read the can label) along with
cling free.
I found the clothes I had on affected how much charge was built up. The static is formed when two nonconductors are rubbed together. Polyester pants and nylon jacket on cloth seats in a Buick gave a good shock when humidity was low in the winter. Hold on to the door handle (if i t's metal) as you move across the seat. The might dissipate the charge as you move. -

I've always had that film issue with my 90 Camry. It only happens when the AC gets run a lot. I've already noticed it on the 03. I think it's because the auto climate control almost always puts the AC on to give you "dehumidified air". -
reece70 Posts: 1I pulled into my driveway and stopped the car. with my foot on the brake I put the car into reverse. the next thing I know the car shoots forward, slams into my front porch, goes up the first two cement stairs, knocks out the iron railing, goes down into the driveway,up onto the grass and finally stops back in the driveway with my foot on the brake the entire time. I had the car in for service that morning to check the brakes and transmission. the abs came on on dry pavement twice and the car would lunge when it would shift gears. the dealer told me nothing was wrong with the car. toyota has also told me nothing is wrong with the car. anyone else having this type of problem that is a huge safety issue?
nippononly SF Bay AreaPosts: 12,695old cars do that because the HVAC system is leaking a little bit, which causes the film. That is not such a good situation for your lungs, I would imagine...
of course, sometimes the interior plastics are still off-gassing, which can also cause this film.2013 Civic SI, 2009 Outback Sport 5-spd (stick)
camrysev6owner Posts: 66I've been complaining about brake rattles before on my 03 Camry SE V6. Now it's getting worse. I can actually see my hand shaking while holding on to the steering wheel when applying the brakes. And that doesn't only happen when I am braking from high speeds. I don't push my car to the limit, had been treating it really good. Sounds like warpped rotors to me. Will get it checked out.
Meanwhile, I see a lot of erosion on the disc brakes. The discs are filled with what looks like rust. But it had been a really bad winter here in Canada, and I know it's normal for disc brakes to get the erosion like this (Because I see that disc brakes from other cars are like this too). Just wondering if it has to do with the vibrations when braking? And my friend told me about disc brake cleaner available on the market. Would it really help in cleaning the disc brakes?
I've also noticed a new phenomenon with my car which I am not sure if it is a problem. Sometimes when I accelerate harder than normal (for example, accelerating when going up a hill), I hear irritating noises from the engine on top of normal engine noises. It's really hard to describe, but it sounds like driving a manual car and accelerating hard in a high gear when the car is slow. I've never noticed the noises when I was using Octane 92 fuel. But I was told by experts in this forum that it was fine to use Octane 87. Any comments would be appreciated regarding this phenomenon.
Windshield Film Issue - I've had that in my old 97 Camry. And I see it in my 03 Camry also. I thought all cars have the film. I just use anti-fog to clean it up and it lasted for over 2 years with my old car. It made it seem like the car was glassless! -
denbigh97 Posts: 1I've got a 96 Camry LE (4 cylinder) with 58,500 miles. Whenever I cold start it, it would make a pinging noise. The noise would go away once the engine is warmed up. I'm thinking it might be dirty fuel injectors or needs a new timing belt (I just had a tune up 2 months ago). However, if it was dirty fuel injectors, then theoretically I would be getting the pinging noise whenever the car is on. So I'm thinking it might just be needing a new timing belt and tensioner. Can anyone provide some insight? Thanks! BTW, my local Toyota dealer wants $225 for a timing belt replacement and new seals, but no tensioner. Is that a descent price or a ripoff?

bgtees Posts: 15I'm currently shopping for a used car, one of the cars on my list to look at is the Solara. I've found several 1999-2001 models that are either SE V4, SE V6 or SLE in the mid-teens. Most of them are between 30-50K miles.
I know this thread only exists for people who are having problems, which is a small percentage of all owners, but I'm just curious how reliable you would consider the Solara to be. I also wanted to get an idea of any known problems I should keep any eye out for. I'll be running a CarFax report on any car I consider.
The other cars I'm looking at include the Honda Accord Coupe, the VW Jetta and the Honda Prelude. Thanks. -
canoe2 Posts: 128Driving Camry V6 LE more than one week, the brake pedal was felt spongy. The Toyota specs for pedal clearance is 2.5" with engine running and depressing 50Kg. Probably when I applied less than 30Kg, the pedal clearance was less than 1" !
To bring the car to stop from 30 mil/h, it does not require much effort on the brake pedal but I am not comfortable with the pedal travel distance.
Is it the design issue in new Camry for everyone or just myself ?
Any feedback would be appreciate. -
bluenose1 Posts: 2I recently purchased a 1993 4 cylinder Camry with 75,000 miles. I've
Everything seemed fine until I noticed a dramatic drop in oil (1 qt in 1,000 miles) and began seeing a blue/black cloud of oil in the rearview mirror about once a week. The clould appeared after driving for awhile, stopping for under an hour and starting up and accelerating. No smoke if only a short drive. Everytime I tried to get the car to smoke (ie. idling, accelerating), no luck.
A mechanic I spoke to said it didn't sound like rings or valve seals and recommended I change the PCV valve. I did so 3 days ago and just noticed a big puff of smoke after driving for an hour.
I've been reviewing your message boards about sludge and valve seal problems but have a couple of questions. Is this what I have? Was sludge a problem for '93 4 cyl? Is it most likely a valve seal problem? What about rings?
Thank You
Mark -
nippononly SF Bay AreaPosts: 12,695doesn't sound right for rings or seals to me either...
FWIW, the sludge issue only affects 1997 and later camrys with the 2.2
does your car make "little clouds" right after start-up? Or does it blow a little smoke all the time?
What you have described sounds very random the way you have described it.2013 Civic SI, 2009 Outback Sport 5-spd (stick)
bluenose1 Posts: 2It's nice to know I've at least eliminated the "sludge" issue. Thanks.
No, there's no smoking when I start it up (valve seals) or when I'm driving along (rings). It's just a massive cloud of blue smoke (although today I wasn't sure it wasn't black and blue) after it has warmed up. It lasts for about 3-5 seconds and then stops. I've also been watching my oil level and the decreases seem to coincide with the smoking (not surprisingly!)
I was hoping that the PCV replacement was the issue, but it now looks like I'll have to have a compression test done and it nothing there, then a replacement of the valve seals. -
ron_toy Posts: 3My 02 V6XLE had started surging when accelerating, especially at lower rpm's. Had dealer check and said it was fine. After 2 weeks, the check engine light came on and dealer found the air/fuel sensor was bad. Cured problem and mileage is looking better. Over 10,000 miles and car is still great; have small rattle when cold in dash (dealer cannot hear it) and trying to determine if bad enough to go after. Sulfer smell has improved with different and higher octane gas.

History and Trends in E-filing: A Survey of CPA Practitioners
By Tracey Anderson, Mark Fox, and Bill N. Schwartz
The Development of E-filing
The IRS started the e-file program as a pilot project for the 1986 filing season in conjunction with tax-preparation software providers and the professional tax community. During the test year, five third-party transmitters were approved by the IRS to file tax returns electronically; they submitted 25,000 returns at three locations. Initially, tax preparers could file returns electronically only if no tax payment was due. The taxpayers that could participate in the program and the types of returns they could file were limited.
The IRS's primary motive for initiating the pilot program was to increase its efficiency in processing tax returns. Prior to the pilot program, IRS staff had to manually enter the information from every tax return, meaning lots of labor time and human error. The new e-file system required only one human input, by the taxpayer or preparer rather than the IRS.
After the success of the pilot program, the e-file program became fully operational for the 1987 tax year. The IRS upgraded its computer capacity and developed an archival and retrieval system that allowed for quick access to tax return information. The e-file system expanded to 16 districts in 1988 and 48 districts in 1989. At first, tax professionals could file no-tax-due returns only; the e-filing of balance-due returns was allowed in 1990.
In 1991, the IRS initiated the federal and state electronic filing program. By 2003, 37 states and the District of Columbia offered federal and state e-filing. In 1992, for the first time individuals could file certain qualifying tax returns from home; the Form 1040 TeleFile pilot program in Ohio processed 125,983 returns. By 1994, the program had expanded nationally to 39,000 transmitters, with over 14 million electronically filed returns. In 1996, the IRS implemented the Electronic Federal Tax Payment System (EFTPS), which permitted individuals to pay their federal taxes electronically. In 1999, the IRS expanded EFTPS to allow taxpayers to e-file and tele-file balance-due returns and pay the tax at the same time by direct debit from a bank account or by credit card.
In 2001, the IRS expanded the TeleFile program by allowing the filing of the four-month automatic extension for individual returns via telephone. In 2002, taxpayers filed 636,215 extensions electronically via this system. Also during that year, 296,692 taxpayers took advantage of the federal and state TeleFile program.
Exhibit 1 gives a breakdown of e-filing by year. The number of taxpayers who e-file has grown consistently every year, except in 1995. In 2003, taxpayers e-filed almost 53 million individual income tax returns, the first year that over 40% of all individual income tax returns were e-filed. Of these returns, tax professionals filed over 37 million. Congress has set a goal of 80% of all individual income tax returns to be e-filed by 2007.
During the first e-filing season in 1986, only some individual taxpayers and individual income tax forms qualified for e-filing. By contrast, in the 2003 tax year, almost all individual taxpayers and approximately 99% of all individual forms qualified for e-filing. A list of the current qualifying taxpayers and qualifying forms can be found in IRS Publication 1345, Handbook for Electronic Filers of Individual Income Tax Returns.
To learn about current practices concerning e-filing, 1,000 sole practitioners and managing partners from local and regional firms across the country were surveyed; 277 usable responses were received. Exhibit 2 summarizes the characteristics of survey respondents by firm type, size, and location.
Tax Preparation Software
The adoption of tax preparation software by the survey respondents increased rapidly during the 1990s. The data also shows that respondents that e-file typically started using tax preparation software in 1997, compared to 1993 for companies that did not e-file. Anecdotal evidence suggests that those who use software but do not e-file, do not believe that their clients want to. The added cost of e-filing, the desire to have a physical copy, and proof of mailing may also be factors.
The most popular tax preparation software packages used by the survey respondents are Prosystems FX, Lacerte, and UltraTax, which account for 80% of the market (Exhibit 3). In January of each year, the IRS updates the federal and state e-files Software Developer List at www.irs.gov/taxpros/providers/article/0,,id=97636,00.html.
E-filing Practices
Of the 277 respondents, 218 (79%) were e-filers. Exhibit 4 shows the year respondents started e-filing. On average, 15.3% of respondents e-filed all their returns during their first year and 38.7% e-filed all their returns in the most recent tax year. Form 1040 returns were the most commonly e-filed (99% of respondents), followed by Form 1065 partnership returns, (32%) Form 1120 corporate returns (16%), and Form 1120 S corporate returns (16%).
Benefits of E-filing
The most frequently mentioned benefits of e-filing for preparers appear in Exhibit 5. The most common benefit was that respondents found it to be more efficient, indicating that e-filing saved them both time and money. The second-most- mentioned benefit was the reduced number of errors, attributable to the one-time entry of figures and the checks performed by preparation software.
Another benefit of e-filing was that it enabled e-filers to be more productive, presumably because it saves on paperwork costs, makes it easier to correct errors, and is quicker than filing on paper. These respondents commented that adopting e-filing made them look more progressive and technologically sophisticated to their clients. Respondents also noted that the IRS acknowledges receipts of e-filed returns, and delivers quicker refunds.
About one-third of respondents also found e-filing to be less costly. In addition to reduced labor costs, e-filed returns greatly reduce the volume of paperwork. New technology allows a paperless filing system and provides taxpayers with an electronic version for their files as well. A paperless process saves paper, toner, and file storage costs.
Characteristics of E-filers
Exhibit 6 shows that respondents with larger practices were more likely to e-file than those with smaller practices. One might speculate that smaller firms and sole practitioners are more likely to have clients uncomfortable with newer technologies. Larger firms may also be more likely to e-file because they can afford the investment of time to start an e-filing initiative. The IRS could consider employing e-filing coordinators and trainers that would work with smaller firms to further encourage e-filing. Respondents with practices in the Midwest, West, and Southwest were more likely to e-file than those in the Northeast or Southeast (see Exhibit 7). The data indicate that, compared to the rest of the country, smaller firms were more likely to be among non-e-filers in the Northeast and Southwest. For firms in the Northeast and Southwest, 71% had five or fewer employees, as opposed to only 57% of firms in other areas.
Looking Forward
E-filing has clearly become prevalent among tax preparers, with 79% of the respondents indicating that they e-file. These practitioners see major benefits from e-filing: it is more efficient, leads to fewer errors, makes their firms more productive, and is less expensive than paper-filing. For the IRS to reach its goals for even greater use of e-filing, it should focus on sole practitioners and small firms.

Carly Rae Jepsen Hits Grammys Red Carpet — With Her Man and a Kiss!
Carly Rae Jepsen opted for a long, dark Roberto Cavalli dress and shimmery eye makeup for her very first Grammys red carpet this afternoon in LA. Carly brought her boyfriend, Matthew Koma, along for the event, and the two shared a sweet kiss as they arrived together. Carly's "Call Me Maybe" catapulted her to stardom over the past year and she is up for two awards tonight, song of the year and best new artist. Carly's pop hit showed off her fun-loving side, but she recently said that her upcoming new music will showcase some more variety — perhaps even darker material. Matthew is not the inspiration for "Call Me Maybe," but the two have been going strong since last Summer. What do you think of Carly's look?

I've applied one private IP for the transfer network and one public IP on the same device as shown below: root@vpn:~#ip address show 1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP> mtu 16436 qdisc noqueue link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00 inet 127.0.0.1/8 scope host lo 2: eth0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast qlen 1000 link/ether 00:xx:yy:cc:ff:aa brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff inet 10.0.0.2/30 scope global eth1 inet 217.xx.yy.zz/32 scope global eth1 To make the linux server using the public IP address all the time I applied the following command: root@vpn:~# ip route ch default via 10.0.0.1 src 217.xx.yy.zz root@vpn:~# ip rou li 10.0.0.0/30 dev eth0 proto kernel scope link src 10.0.0.2 127.0.0.0/8 dev lo scope link default via 10.0.0.1 dev eth0 src 217.xx.yy.zz root@vpn:~# This means that all IP traffic will be routed by default to the gateway 10.0.0.1 (LAN Interface@m0n0wall) using the public IP address 217.xx.yy.zz. So, this workaround works fine for VPN as well as for traffic from 217.xx.yy.zz to the public internet. But all other attempts coming from the public Internet to the inside LAN (IP address 217.xx.yy.zz) doesn't work. Neither FTP nor SSH (even ping) has been successfull.

Pinterest made its first acquisition today, picking up Pinterest-looking recipe site Punchfork. Terms of the deal weren't disclosed.
Punchfork, based in Palo Alto, lets users find the most popular recipes from various cooking sites. They can search for recipes by the ingredients they have in their kitchens, filter recipes for diet restrictions, and rate the ones they like the most.
According to a blog post by Punchfork CEO and founder Jeff Miller, Pinterest will shut down the site and bring Miller on board the San Francisco-based social media company.
"Initially, support for Punchfork will continue," he wrote, "but we will soon be retiring the Punchfork site, API and mobile apps. We believe that a unified destination benefits our users in the long run, and the Punchfork team will focus on contributing to Pinterest as the premier platform for discovering and sharing new recipes and other interests on the web."
Miller, a former developer and hedge fund trader, founded Punchfork in 2010 and launched the company in January of 2011, according to TechCrunch.

What inner child WOULDN'T want to get married in a bouncy castle?
Because there were children coming to our wedding/reception we set up a children's table with play-doh, crayons, and candy necklaces. I of course could not miss out on such an awesome table, and the 4 year old insisted that those were our seats and even made his own mother move so we could sit at "their table"

A 70-year-old woman died Saturday following a head-on crash near Simpsonville.
According to state troopers, the wreck happened around 11:25 a.m. Saturday on East Georgia Road just outside Simpsonville city limits.
Investigators said Joyce Mahaffey's vehicle crossed the center line, causing it to hit another vehicle head-on.
State troopers said Mahaffey was not wearing a seat belt and died at the hospital a short time after the crash.
The driver of the other vehicle was alone in the car and was not injured.

GALLOWAY TOWNSHIP, N.J. -- When a fire destroyed Steve Helewa's home days after Christmas, the newly hired Galloway Township emergency medical technician never expected to see the steady outpouring of support from the local community.
Helewa was hired as a full-time EMT in Galloway about three months ago and was commuting to the job from his home in Surf City, Ocean County. But on Dec. 29, just before midnight, the 22-year-old awoke to the smell of smoke at his North Third Street home and discovered a couch was on fire.
After helping his fiancee, Lisa Maiorano, and their 18-month old daughter, Isabella, to safety, Helewa re-entered the house to try to extinguish the fire but was unsuccessful; the home was destroyed along with nearly every item inside.
Immediately, Galloway Township Ambulance Squad Chief Ray Adams organized an effort to collect items the family might need. Within hours of putting the effort together, donations flooded in -- some from as far away as the Cherry Hill Fire Department. Emergency departments have donated clothes, toys, gift cards, televisions and kitchen items.
The efforts were magnified when Cooper University Hospital in Camden was informed of the campaign and forwarded an email on behalf of the Galloway Township Ambulance Squad to other affiliated emergency services groups working with the hospital.
"It's just a huge outpouring of support from the EMS community as far as clothes and items for the baby. I can't say enough about it," Helewa said. "My coworkers in Galloway have been phenomenal. They really rallied behind me."
Rooms full of items have been delivered to the family, which is now staying with relatives in Barnegat Township, Ocean County. In fact, so many items have been received that organizers have asked that only monetary donations be made at this point.
Last Friday, organizers held a benefit for the family at LA's Bar and Family Restaurant in Manahawkin for $25 per ticket. It's not yet known how much money the event raised for the family.
"It really spiraled from a very small thing into a very big thing," said Lt. James Jones, of the Galloway Township Ambulance Squad. "I've never seen anything like it. It's really been incredible just to watch the donations come in."
Although nearly every item in the home was destroyed in the fire, Helewa was able to locate one item among the debris that could not be replaced by donations: an ultrasound photo of his daughter. "It's pretty wild. It's not something you'd ever expect to have happen to you. We've been lucky," Helewa said.

Leeanne S.HairNormal HairIron Lasts About 3 MonthsThis Iron works great for about two months. I have purchased two of the same iron. Both of them lasted about 3 months. Both irons had the same cord problem. The second iron I purchased I was careful not to wrap the cord thinking the first time I bought this I made the cord short out. The second iron that I was careful to not wrap the cord lasted less time than the first one. My hair stylist uses this iron and recently stated she has the same issue. Aside from the cord issues the iron does a great job on my hair.posted Oct 23, 2010Link to this post

AmNYCHairBlackCurly HairThe Best Flat Iron!I received my Sedu yesterday and tried it out immediately. It's the best flat iron I've ever used in my life. I have black wavy/curly hair and have been straightening my hair for the last 6-7 years or so. I've never had a flat iron which straightened my hair so quickly and effortlessly as the Sedu did. The ceramic plates glide like silk on the hair. I'm very happy with my new buy and do hope that my Sedu lasts long.posted Oct 21, 2010Link to this post
YeseniaUSHairDark BrownCurly HairColor Treated HairThick or Coarse HairFrom Poof To SmoothRight off the bat, I was really impressed by this product. The day I received it, I used it right away. My hair was actually curly with hair products in it. I wet my hair to try and take off some the of the hair products, blow dried it a bit and flat ironed away. I was amazed at how smooth and shiny my hair was even without ironing it from blow dried hair first. I have course thick wavy/curly hair that becomes a poof ball without any gel etc. in it. I bought this because I had cut about 6 inches off my hair (it's up to my collarbone now) and blow drying was not getting it smooth and sleek enough for me.
I like the fact that you can change the temperature and that it's 1.5" wide. I think that really helps with my kind of hair. Not only is this a great product but I got it at a great price through folica.com. Thanks!posted Oct 20, 2010Link to this post -
NatalieCincinnatiGreat!I love this straightener it works really well and heats up to the max temperature of 410 in about 30 seconds and lets you know it is heat up by the green light flashing, I will say that it is not versatile with styling as the box says you cant curl your hair with this since it is square it leaves dents and lines in your hair. But it is definitely the best straightener out there and it lasts all day and leaves your smooth.posted Oct 20, 2010Link to this post
Jeraldine C.New York, NYHairDark BrownCurly HairColor Treated HairFine or Thin HairIt's So Amazing!I ordered my sedu monday morning and received it the next day.I love this iron. my hair was curled and frizzy and when I used the sedu it made my hair silky straight, smooth and frizz free. It made my hair look like if I had just stepped out of the salon and I had washed my hair last week friday. Tipically I would have to wrap my hair when I sleep. but I slept with my hair loose and when I woke up it was still straight. Its definately worth the money, I think that this is a great investment.posted Oct 20, 2010Link to this post
Mercedes G.Fairmont, WVHairColor Treated HairThick or Coarse HairBest Flat Iron Ever! Buy It! You Wont Regret It!I Ordered my iron on September 16th 2009, I'm writing this a year later today's date is October 10th 2010. My flat iron is still working as it did when I took out of the box! I have thick wavy hair that is really difficult to get straight and stay straight, it just wants to fly all over the place and frizz. This flat iron does the job! It takes 1 swipe of the iron to make hair perfectly smooth. It cut my straightening time to about 10-15 minutes versus 25-30 minutes with my old conair steam ion iron. I wont buy any other iron unless it's a Sedu.posted Oct 20, 2010Link to this post

R R.HairBlackDry HairColor Treated HairThick or Coarse HairChemically Treated HairSilk Pure Silk!I have been using a flat iron on my hair for a good 8 years now. May hair is fairly coarse and frizzy so I generally chemically straighten my hair every so often and then use a flat iron to keep it in check. My flat iron of choice was Maxius.
I didn't know what I was missing until I bought a Sedu. Pure silk !! thats how my hair feels now. My hair has grown out, so normally I would've gone to the hair salon to get another chemical straightening fix, but I don't think I need to do that anymore. My Sedu is already paying for itself.
The Maxius flat iron does not even come close. Sedu is just brilliant. It simply glides through your hair and cuts the time it takes to straighten you hair by atleast 1/3. It's also much more compact and lighter so it handles so much better than Maxius.
I was torn between Chi and Sedu - and finally made the decision to buy Sedu based on the comments posted here on Folica. I think I made the right choice. So Happy!

New England Revolution: Chad Barrett
Happy homecoming just what Revs needed
After four weeks away from the friendly confines of Gillette Stadium, the Revolution scored early and late to grab a much-needed 2-0 win over the San Jose Earthquakes.
"For us, we needed to get home and get some points," Revolution head coach Jay Heaps said. "We were defensively sound, but we weren't as good as we can be offensively."
The 13,732 in attendance were promised postgame fireworks in commemoration of the Fourth of the July weekend, but the fans didn't have wait long for the Revolution to launch an early rocket.
In the 13th minute, Saer Sene initially ripped a shot that Jon Busch punched away before it fell to Stephen McCarthy, who quickly played it to Lee Nguyen. From there, Nguyen found Sene for a second opportunity, and the Frenchman didn't disappoint when he unleashed a 25-yard shot that flew past the reach of Busch.
"I like to shoot from far away," Sene said. "I don't like to think too much. When I am on the field, I am trying stuff, and I'm happy that tonight [it] was successful."
After a San Jose giveaway near midfield, Scott Caldwell played a keen ball forward to Chad Barrett, who ran onto it, went forward and sent it across for Diego Fagundez, who arrived a step too late to tap it through in the 28th minute.
Six minutes later, Andrew Farrell pushed forward and played a quick game of give-and-go with Kelyn Rowe before the full back's subsequent shot was denied by the shoe top of Busch at the last moment.
"I'm not sure we had our best stuff tonight," Heaps said. "But we still won, [and] if we play as well as we're capable of and [given] how deep our squad is, we know we can compete with any team in this league, especially when we play here at home."
Although the offense was guilty of missing a handful of prime chances to put the game out of reach at halftime, the defense came through to keep the Earthquakes from sneaking back into the match.
McCarthy and fellow center back Jose Goncalves cleared a number of San Jose crosses out of danger and succeeded in keeping the likes of Adam Jahn and Alan Gordon from putting a single shot on frame. Without having to worry about Chris Wondolowski (Gold Cup), Marvin Chavez (Gold Cup) and Steven Lenhart (injured), the Revolution center backs clamped down on the San Jose attack all night.
"If you look at the way the game played out, [McCarthy] and Jose [Goncalves] were the reason we won the game," Revolution left back Chris Tierney said. "The way that [San Jose] plays is that they've got two big, strong forwards, and that's a tough assignment for any defender in this league. [McCarthy] and Jose are the biggest and strongest out there."
It appeared in the latter stages that the onus of squeezing out three points would fall on the defense, until the 78th minute, when another blonde-mohawked striker took center stage.
With the Revolution in search of an insurance goal, Rowe played it ahead to Nguyen, who ran toward the right post searching for a runner inside the area. He found one when Dimitry Imbongo slid into Nguyen's pass and sent it into the net.
"I am really happy that [Imbongo] scored," Sene said. "Maybe, it's special for the people because we both have the mohawks. We are happy because it was a very important game, and we needed these three points."
Imbongo's goal lifted a considerable weight off the Revolution's defense, especially given San Jose's propensity for scoring late. And when referee Carlos Rivera chirped his whistle three times, the Revolution victory -- their first since early June - allowed the home fans to savor the postgame fireworks.
"We're always most comfortable at home," Tierney said. "I think a lot of teams around the league really don't look forward to coming here, which is obviously to our advantage."
Frustrating start for Revs' striker
Taking over at the target striker's spot on Saturday in the absence of Jerry Bengtson, the 27-year-old veteran striker had to contend with gusty winds and a Sporting Kansas City side that dropped numbers, both of which conspired to keep the entire Revolution squad from registering a single shot on target.
"Well, you know going into the game, you know it's going to be like that," Barrett said following Saturday's 0-0 draw. "You might get just one chance, you might get none."
In his 63 minutes on the pitch, Barrett chased down a number of long balls into the attacking third and pretty much did anything he could to test Kansas City center backs Aurelien Collin and Ike Opara. Although he fought and clawed for every chance that came his way, the only successes he could muster were in the form of a pair of second-half fouls.
Nevertheless, Revolution head coach Jay Heaps praised Barrett's work rate, even though the veteran forward wasn't in peak condition.
"I thought Chad (Barrett) did a great job," Heaps said after the game. "It's a fitness (issue) at this point. Chad obviously joined us late in preseason and then he took an illness and was sick for a little while (and) had a virus. We had to be cautious with him. ... I thought he did a great job for 60 minutes."
Fitness wasn't the only issue Barrett was battling on Saturday. Deployed as the lone striker in a possession-oriented 4-2-3-1 formation, the gritty forward, who was accustomed to the two-striker formation from his days with the Los Angeles Galaxy, knew that he'd have to create chances on his own if he was going to grab a goal.
"In the formation we played, it was hard because sometimes I don't have a lot of help," Barrett said. "But that was what the game called for, that was the game plan."
Even though he didn't get a chance to record a single shot, Barrett claimed some measure of success in one sense.
"Pretty much my job was to create havoc out there, make sure if they did get their head on balls, they didn't get a clean head on balls," he said. "(I) pretty much (fought) with them."
It wasn't the prettiest stuff, to be sure. And with Bengtson scheduled to return from World Cup Qualifying in time for next week's clash against FC Dallas, Barrett may have to wait his turn until he gets another start.
Nevertheless, Barrett hopes that Saturday's scoreless draw was an anomaly, and that the team's attack will improve as the season progresses and the weather improves.
"Going forward, we will see what happens," Barrett said. "You kind of got an ugly football game (on Saturday), but you know, hopefully, when the weather gets nicer and the wind settles down a little bit, we can play a little bit better soccer."
