By Alissa de Carbonnel and Mike Collett-White
SOCHI, Russia (Reuters) – Russia's Winter Games got off to a shaky start on Friday when one of the five Olympic rings failed, but ballet dancers, stirring music and huge mechanical props tracing the host nation's history propelled the opening ceremony forward.
Only four of the five giant Olympic rings unfurled from snowflake-shaped structures suspended from the roof of the 40,000-capacity Fisht Stadium in Sochi, meaning the famous symbol could not be illuminated with fireworks as planned.
The showboat start to a Games President Vladimir Putin hopes will burnish Russia's image on the world stage went on without further ado, with cosmonaut Sergei Krikalev, who has spent more days in space than anyone, hoisting the Russian flag.
SPECIAL SECTION: 2014 Winter Olympics | EXTRA: Team USA athletes tweet from opening ceremonies
Putin official declared the February 7-23 Games open to a burst of fireworks that lit up the clear night sky outside the gleaming new stadium located on the shores of the Black Sea.
Before the symbol hiccup, a young girl in white dress soared into the air, lifted by a harness, and sang as islands representing different parts of Russia with folktale scenes drifted dreamlike across the stadium.
Athletes emerged from beneath the stage up a ramp for the traditional parade as a giant satellite image of each nation taken from space was projected onto the floor.
The Russians, outfitted in white fur-trimmed hats and coats, drew wild cheers from a crowd lit up by boxes on seats in the stands creating a dazzling visual backdrop.
The crowd favorite of the evening was clearly a graceful waltz led by stars of Russian ballet as massive columns pushed up out of the floor to set a scene echoing Leo Tolstoy's masterpiece War and Peace.
The twirling dancers were chased out of the stadium by stark red lights, jarring music and a giant train embodying the upheaval of the 1917 Russian revolution and the importance of the avant-garde art movement at around that time.
Soviet socialist realist symbols – including a massive hammer and sickle – powered the audience forward through decades depicted as a time of industrial progress to the thaw of 1950s to modern day.
The state-of-the-art arena, one of several construction projects that have swelled the budget of the Winter Games to a record $50 billion, holds 40,000 people, and Putin was joined by more than 40 world leaders.
Millions more will watch on television and via the Internet as Russia hosts its first Winter Olympics, an event Putin has staked his reputation on.
The run-up to the Games has been marred by threats from Islamist militants based in nearby Chechnya and neighboring southern Russian regions to launch attacks, and by international criticism of Russia's new "gay propaganda" law.
Organizers have also been under fire for the huge costs involved, unfinished accommodation and amenities, and even the treatment of stray dogs in and around Sochi.
But Putin will hope the opening ceremony signals an end to the griping, as athletes, who have been largely complimentary about the facilities and organization so far, begin to provide the thrills and spills on ice and snow.
Details of the 2-1/2-hour show have been kept a closely guarded secret, but Russian soprano Anna Netrebko, one of the biggest names in international opera, will sing the Olympic anthem.
Putin's role is likely to be limited to declaring the Games open, as is traditional for the host nation's head of state.
Asked if Putin might seek to trump the stunt in 2012 where Queen Elizabeth appeared in a film clip with James Bond actor Daniel Craig before body doubles skydived towards the London stadium, Ernst replied: "You shouldn't hope too much for that."
In an embarrassing early technical glitch, one of the five Olympic rings suspended high above the stage failed to unfurl, meaning that the giant structure could not be illuminated by fireworks as planned.
But the show went on, blending cartoon-style inflatable domes, spectacular ballroom dancing amid towering imperial columns, and giant avant-garde shapes hovering above symbols of revolution and upheaval in a sweep through Russian history.
Fireworks filled the sky above the Olympic park surrounding the arena in a rousing finale to a show that drew heavily on Russia's rich heritage of classical music, literature and dance.
As the ceremony unfolded, a security scare aboard a passenger plane flying from Ukraine to Turkey underlined concerns that the Games could be targeted, although the exact circumstances were not immediately clear.
Turkey scrambled an F-16 fighter jet to accompany a plane carrying 110 passengers arriving in Istanbul after a bomb threat was made by a passenger demanding to go to the Winter Olympics venue of Sochi, Turkish officials said.
The passenger was believed to have drunk alcohol and was calmed down by the crew and persuaded to let the plane land in Istanbul, according to Dogan news agency.
The scare came after the U.S. Transportation Security Administration had temporarily banned carry-on liquids, aerosols, gels and powders on flights between Russia and the United States.
The United States issued a warning on Wednesday to airports and some airlines flying to Russia for the Olympics to watch for toothpaste tubes that could hold ingredients to make a bomb on board a plane.
Some 37,000 security personnel are on high alert in Sochi over threats by Islamist militant groups based in the nearby north Caucasus region to attack the February 7-23 Games, the most expensive ever staged at an estimated cost of $50 billion.
Separatist guerrillas seeking an independent Islamic state in Chechnya and neighboring regions of southern Russia have vowed to disrupt the Olympics, which they say are taking place on land seized from Caucasus tribes in the 19th century.
Despite a "ring of steel" around venues, Russian forces fear a woman suspected of planning a suicide bombing may have slipped through.
Security analysts believe that an attack is in fact more likely elsewhere in Russia to humiliate Putin, who launched a war to crush a Chechen rebellion in 1999.
Twin suicide bombings killed at least 34 people in December in Volgograd, 400 miles northeast of Sochi.
Google Inc. declined to comment.
Organizers have defended the costs of staging the Sochi Games amid concerns from Olympic officials that the huge price tag could put potential bidders off in future.
They said much of the infrastructure built for 2014 was designed to be used long after the Games finished, and the plan was to turn Sochi into a year-round resort, international sports centre and amusement park.
Despite grumblings about poor accommodation and tight security, the mood among competitors and officials after a handful of early qualifying events in Sochi and at the mountain base 40 km (25 miles) to the northeast was upbeat.
"Conditions offered to the athletes are absolutely outstanding," said French Olympic Committee President Denis Masseglia on a clear, crisp day.
Saturday is the first full day of sporting action, with five gold medals to be decided.

Featured Design: Two-Car Carport Satisfies a Variety of Needs – The Garage Plan Shop
With a simple and conservative design, this two-car carport satisfies not only parking needs, but it can be utilized for a variety of other uses. Being supported by six 6'' posts, this carport is sturdy enough to protect vehicles from the elements, eliminating that voice in the back of your head asking if you remembered to roll up your windows. In addition to cars, the shelter can also be used to protect other motorized vehicles or machinery, such as farm equipment, which are often subjected to nasty weather conditions because of limited garage or storage space. Going beyond vehicles, this carport is capable of serving as a pavilion, providing an environment in which barbeques, celebrations, and gatherings can continue despite what Mother Nature has planned.

Hi folks. Last night I upgraded our Zimbra OS edition from 4.0.3 to 4.5.2 on Mac OS X 10.4.8 (x86). The upgrade seems to have gone smoothly, except for two issues:
1. The Bayes and DSpam checks do not appear in the X-Spam-Status header (they did before the upgrade). The disabling of DSpam was mentioned in the upgrade docs, so uncommenting the relevant line in avamisd.conf.in successfully re-enabled DSpam. However, I have no idea why the Bayes_99, Bayes_50, etc, are not showing up in the headers. A quick perusal of /opt/zimbra/amavisd-new-2.4.3/.spamassassin shows that all the bayes_* database files have the exact same timestamp and filesize as the ones in the 4.0.3 backup directory. (The only difference is the presence of an "init" file in the 4.0.3 directory that does not appear in the 4.5.2 directory.) So it would seem as though the databases were migrated successfully, and yet the Bayes headers do not show up. Does anybody have any suggestions as to how to re-activate the Bayes check?
2. It seems the upgrade process did not successfully find the admin account at "firstname.lastname@example.com" and instead automatically created one at "email@example.com". (The fully qualified domain name of the box is mail.mydomain.com, but of course in our case all mail is sent/received from "firstname.lastname@example.com".) Interestingly, when upgrading from 4.0.2 to 4.0.3, a very similar thing happened whereby the system decided that "firstname.lastname@example.com" was the admin account. There are a bunch of deferred messages with "email@example.com" as the sender/receiver (this was the case prior to the 4.5.2 upgrade). Post-4.5.2-upgrade, if I look in amavisd.conf, I see that all notification sender/recipients are currently set to "firstname.lastname@example.com", which clearly should not be the case. Does anyone have any suggestions as to how I can rectify this and direct Zimbra to the one and only true admin account on the system (i.e., "firstname.lastname@example.com"), for notifications as well as everything else?
Any and all suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

My mom drinks from water bottles because she works out of her car. How could she get a drink otherwise? :P
whats your beef kirby
drink tap water, and put in in a reusable bottle
or just drink out of the water fountains which exist like everywhere
the amount of money and waste with plastic water bottles is absurd, your literally paying 100 times the cost for no reason, and to boot there is a ton of waste
well i mean you can buy a plastic water bottle, and then fill it up
and tap water is gross
Who cares if its gross? Its water, drink it for metabolic processes.
tap water is only good in missouri B)
but I use a water filter for my water. tastes ten times better.
I dislike the taste of filtered water which is the only reason I don't drink out of water bottles.
All the tap water at my school is filtered. :(
Its just infuriating to see people walking around in supermarkets with giant loads of plastic water bottles in their cart that may last them a week tops, when they all have a fucking sink in their house.
tap water is gross. is it annoying to see people buying beef when they all can find squirrels in their back yards?
There really isn't a reliable and safe way to catch squirrels in sub-urban neighborhoods.
i exclusively drink bottle water. if it consoles you i don't discriminate among brands, unless the bottle is fucking stupid looking.
also yo, using public water fountains is last resort type of stuff. you don't know who's mouth has been all over that.. not everyone uses it right and some people fuck with it on purpose.
do I have to kill everyone on PD :/
come at me bro
So... Dishonored... anyone played it yet?
i havent drunk bottled water in america

I was out riding the Komodo at the Mansion today. (which really RAWKED my world) I noticed a few things that I take for granted. I've been riding for a while, but I feel sometimes a nooblet may not even think about these little techniques that could help them progress and enrich their trail time. Most of this spawns from riding behind a noob or non-skilled hack and cringing when I watch them pick a line or treat their bike like a personal Sherman Tank and plow through something w/o finesse.
1. When I cross a wet root, wet fencepost/water-bar, or wet rock that crosses the trail...I hit it at 90 degrees. I watched a guy the other day hit a wet root at about 70 degrees and his back wheel slid out from under him.
2. In a similar sense...when I do a technical climb with rocks and roots, I slightly lunge my body up and forward (sometimes not even noticeable...just shifting weight) so my momentum carries me past the obstacle therefore I don't rely on the traction so much from my rear tire to push me through/over a small techy obstacle.
3. When I approach what looks like several roots, a rock garden, or the like...just as my front tire reaches the first obstacle, I use the "bounce" off that obstacle to help propel my bike up and over everything else.
4. When I get to a little dip or chute in the trail...I try to pump the transition to propel me forward. (think 'half pipe' on a skateboard)
5. I always wear a "doo rag". I fold over (upward) the bottom edge (above my ears, eyes, etc...) about 1/2" or so as to create a gutter to channel the sweat back away from my eyes.
6. When I do a drop in the trail, no matter how small, I manual off it so that my tires either hit the bottom side simultaneously or rear first.
7. When I take a fast turn, I push down on my bars so I have traction "where it counts".
8. When I am in "sit'n'spin" mode and decide to "stand'n'honk"...I always shift up 2 gears b/c my standing cadence is slower than my seated cadence. Just the opposite when I'm standing and I need to take a break...I downshift 2 gears so I can keep up the RPM's.
9. When I get to a medium size hole, small crossing, or edge where the trail raises up on the far side...I almost always either manual or lift the front end up and try to let the rear tire follow the contour of the trail until it reaches the "up side". Then I push forward and shift my weight so my rear wheel doesn't take the brunt.
10. When I get to a fair size bump...I either hop it or p/u the front end and then "rock forward" taking all the weight off my rear wheel so it will roll over it w/o too much blunt force smacking the wheel. I have watched so many dudes just hack into a log and wonder why their rear wheel is bent. Heck...I watch people cross logs w/o even standing up
11. 95% of the time, I have my index fingers over my brake levers...ready to grab 'em.
12. I usually coast with my cranks parallel to the ground (even through a turn) until I really decide to "G" the turn and push into it. Then I always put my outside foot down and push into the turn with my foot to gain traction...trying to keep my body fairly straight up'and'down and letting the bike lean into it.
13. When I'm pedaling through rocks or junk sticking up...I am mindful of where my pedals will be coming down as I spin. If I feel my pedal will be coming down at an obstacle, I will give my crankset a little "1/2 rotation" sorta "ratchet action pedal" so I still have momentum, but now my pedal will come down beyond that rock or root.
14. I always brake harder with the front. (duh) Almost to the point that I lean into it and nearly do a stoppie into a turn.
15. When I have a long climb (paved or gravel road type) in addition to locking out the fork, I move my grip out to the very ends of my grips to gain leverage over the climb.
16. When downshifting up-hill, I pedal hard to "surge" forward--then soft-pedal as I shift to the easier gear--then put the power back down after the chain has dropped into gear. I know, it seems like a no-brainer...but dadgum I've seen/listened to some nasty crap out of desperation.
17. Tight techy turns (switchbacks) work really well for me when I allow my front tire to follow the outside of the turn...even if it's the top of a berm.
18. Slow, technical climbing...I pay more attn to where my rear tire is than the front.

BILLINGS, Mont. (AP) -- Montana prosecutors will not seek the death penalty against a defendant charged in the killing of an Illinois man kidnapped from his Billings hotel room.
Yellowstone County Attorney Scott Twito announced the decision Monday. Simon Jacobson is charged with deliberate homicide and other crimes in the January death of 29-year-old Dejuan Laster.
Jacobson and an accomplice allegedly posed as FBI agents to kidnap Laster and his girlfriend from the Extended Stay America hotel during a robbery. Investigators say Jacobson later admitted to shooting Laster and hiding his body in a culvert in a rural area of Yellowstone County.
He's being held on $1 million bond after pleading not guilty.
Montana Chief Public Defender William Hooks says his office had been preparing for a potential death penalty case.

I created one map previously in Paint...I thought it turned out ok but was lost when I got rid of my old laptop and didn't save it. Looking to start again with GIMP. But I want the size to be 7000x3778 and to be able to paint each pixel individually. Gimp seems to limit me to 3x3 at a minimum? looks like I already need help. My Paint map was 9600x5400 and worked just fine.
Hope to hear from someone thanks
Thanks...BIG thanks

NFI acquires World Warehouse and Distribution
March 08, 2011
Cherry Hill, New Jersey-based NFI, an asset-based third-party logistics (3PL) services provider said this week it has acquired World Warehouse and Distribution, a Champlain, NY-based 3PL and warehousing services provider with facilities in Champlain and Albany, NY and Montreal.
Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed. World Warehouse and Distribution provides services for shippers in various industries, including pharmaceuticals, perishable and non-perishable manufacturers and distributors, beverage manufacturers and distributors, and sporting good retailers.
NFI officials said that World Warehouse will remain a separate entity within NFI's Warehousing and Distribution division, adding that this deal adds almost one million square feet to warehouse and distribution space managed by NFI, bringing the total amount of warehouse space owned or managed by NFI to more than 19 million square feet.
"World Warehouse is a perfect addition to the NFI family as its warehouse assets mesh with our goal of expanding cross border capacity and our transportation network throughout North America," and NFI spokesman told LM. "The location, assets and customer base were the key factors in the desirability of World Warehouse."
NFI CEO Sidney Brown said in a statement that this acquisition is part of NFI's strategic plan to increase its footprint in Canada, building on its June 2010 acquisition of IPD Global, which has since been re-named to NFI Canada, to expand cross-border services and within Canada.
"By the end of 2011, NFI will operate over 1 million square feet of distribution space in four cities in Canada and manage close to $75M in transport-related revenues," said Brown. "This acquisition expands NFI's network of third party logistics and warehouse services, and further enhances our cross border capacity and capabilities. In turn, NFI provides the World Warehouse customer base with access to a vast network of integrated logistics services and supply chain solutions."
The four Canadian cities NFI will operate more than 1 million square-feet of distribution space are Edmonton, AB, Mississauga, ON, Toronto, ON and Montreal, QC.

Greensboro, NC -- Police made an arrest, reopened the road and cleared the scene of a bank robbery where the suspect left a suspicious package behind Saturday.
An officer arrested Tanner Taurell McNeil, 29, shortly after the 11 a.m. robbery at the Bank of America on Muirs Chapel Road.
The bank's manager told police McNeil walked into the bank and placed a suspicious package on his desk. Police say the suspect threatened to detonate it if tellers didn't cooperate.
After several minutes inside the bank, the suspect left. There is no word on whether he took any money.
As McNeil was leaving, an officer spotted him. The suspect led the officer on a short foot chase before he was arrested.
The department's bomb squad responded later and dissected the package, which turned out to be a cardboard box containing some sort of liquid, but no detonation device, according to police.
Police blocked off Muirs Chapel Road between West Market Street and Mercury Drive during the investigation. Officers also evacuated businesses and homes in the area. The road reopened around 2:20 p.m. Saturday.
There were four employees in the bank at the time, including the manager. No one was injured in the robbery.
McNeil was charged with Robbery with a Dangerous Weapon and Bomb by Hoax.
Police are still investigating this robbery.
Anyone with information should call Greensboro police at 336-373-1000

I understand the draw of the Leicas, but the modern world of digital photography makes them less valuable for precisely one reason: the film. When you bought a Leica, or a pro level Nikon or Canon, in the past, you were buying a piece of finely engineered equipment which very well may last for decades, shooting film that matched your event or artistic desire.
Today, even the pro level cameras are throw-away devices. The premium you pay for the pro gear gets you the best sensors, advanced processing, and - yes - a bit of bragging rights. But how many Pros - or even amateurs - are looking to pick up a even a D3? When you can't replace the film in the camera, and the film of today is 4-10X better than that of 5 years ago, you've created a disposable.
The best glass in the world will not get three more stops past f/1.4, or reduce the noise on the sensor, or increase your resolution by a factor of 3. Ever. Until Leica sells a $2000 "core" upgrade, it's just an $8k obsolete camera.

Court date moved forward in abused donkey case
Published: Tuesday, November 20, 2012 at 4:21 p.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, November 20, 2012 at 4:21 p.m.
A custody hearing to determine the destiny of Doodle, the miniature donkey, has again been delayed.
The hearing now is scheduled for Dec. 21 to determine whether Marion County can officially take legal custody of the animal and put it up for adoption.
The miniature donkey was taken into protective custody and put into the county's animal shelter after her owner, Carlos Romero, 31, was accused of engaging in sexual acts with the animal in September.
The hearing was postponed Oct. 31, when a county attorney moved to have it delayed to avoid having Romero incriminate himself while his criminal misdemeanor case remains pending.
Romero was charged with having sexual activity with an animal. His next court date is scheduled for Tuesday and the case is expected to go to trial.
In October, Romero refused a plea deal from the State Attorney's Office that would have precluded him from owning or possessing mammals, and revocation of his license to work in horse racing.
Romero, an exercise rider and groomer in the horse racing industry, has claimed he wouldn't have a way to make a living if his license were revoked.

Atlanta, GA (AP) - Amid complaints from commuters that the cost of
using the new High Occupancy Toll lanes on Interstate Highway 85 is
too high, Gov. Nathan Deal said Thursday the rates are being
The State Road and Tollway Authority opened the lanes last
weekend along a stretch of I-85 in DeKalb and Gwinnett counties,
giving commuters the option of paying a toll for a quicker trip,
with the cost varying with traffic volume. So far, it appears that
the toll lanes are being lightly used.
"Looking at what we've learned from our first four work days
with the HOT lanes, I've asked SRTA to improve utilization of the
express lanes," Deal said. "In the short term, the toll rate will
lower -- starting with Thursday afternoon's commute -- but the
effective rate will continue to change to regulate speed and
Previously, drivers were able to use High Occupancy Vehicle
lanes along I-85 without cost, provided the vehicle had at least
two occupants. The HOT arrangement requires three occupants for a
toll-free ride
Deal said federal regulations require a vehicle to have three
occupants for the toll to be waived. He said he will seek a waiver
of that rule, allowing vehicles with two occupants to travel
toll-free, but did not know how long that would take.
"As governor, I'm committed to finding transportation solutions
that help Georgians get to work and back home to their families. I
will continue to monitor the situation as drivers become more
accustomed to this new system," Deal said. He said the need for
more access and exit points for the toll lanes also would be
SRTA continues to issue, on average, 1,700 Peach Passes a day,
allowing people to use the HOT lanes. As of Thursday, SRTA said
there are 75,000 passes in circulation with a target of 175,000.

Throughout this week members of the non-profit group, "Reach Ministries," will be in Meridian fixing houses in need of repair. All are from out-of-state and all are paying for their own expenses except for housing.
The Meridian Public School District is providing that. The students are staying at Kate Griffin Junior High.
"It's so beneficial to our community," said Dr. Janet McLin, Superintendent for Meridian Public Schools. "There are people who will have their roofs and screens repaired which they would not have been able to have done otherwise."
"There's a need for something like this in this area. I am just saddened by the fact that we want be able to serve the number of people that are really in need," said Earnest Smith, Local Coordinator.
This week the group is scheduled to repair 15 houses.

For our purposes, "free energy" is defined as energy that is obtained from a source that is available free of charge and is non-depleting. The devices that harness this energy, are not free; so the quest is to find those methods that are most efficient, cost effective, reliable, feasible, and safe.
The purpose of this website is to feature those technologies the fit this pursuit.
- "We at PES have NEVER promoted the idea of energy from nothing. Not once. Not ever. Free energy is a matter of harvesting the wheelwork of nature, and there are a lot of ways to do that. Conventional: solar, wind, geothermal, tide, waste-to-energy, biomass, etc. We focus on the unconventional: LENR, electromagnetic overunity, magnet motors, etc. Just because we don't fully understand them yet, doesn't mean they don't work. You're not a true scientist if that is how your head works, thinking we have to understand it if it is real. Science is about exploration, not dogma in entrenched thinking. Free energy merely refers to the fact that you don't have to pay the wheelwork of nature to provide you with energy. You just need to plug in.
- "Indeed, it could be argued that those who are open to new methods of harvesting the wheelwork of nature are truer scientists than those who adamantly deny that new ways might exist because they appear to violate existing paradigms." -- Sterling D. Allan, February 19, 2014

Introduction to the Free Energy Revolution - Usually, when people hear the term "free energy," they conjure images of perpetual motion machines that work kind of like lifting yourself up by your own bootstraps -- in other words, it's a silly idea that will never come true except in dreams and movies. However, when we PES talk about "free energy", what we are thinking of is systems that harvest energy that nature gives us, free for the taking. (PureEnergyBlog; March 13, 2013)

Video: Health Care Law Supreme Court Hearing Day 2
Video: Health Care Law Opponents Asked Tough Questions
WASHINGTON (WUSA) -- On Day Two of the Supreme Court hearing on President Obama's health care law, opponents had to answer some tough questions.
Tuesday's main issue is whether the government can force you to buy health care -- the "individual mandate" part of the law that requires almost every American to get health insurance or pay a financial penalty. Twenty six states and a small business group argue that forcing Americans to buy insurance if they don't want to buy it is unconstitutional. The states and the group are trying to get the law struck down.
SUPREME COURT DOCUMENTS: Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act Cases
The federal government claims that everyone will need health care at some point in their lives and if everyone is covered it will lower premium prices. The Obama administration says Congress can impose the requirement in the health care overhaul. The law aims to get health insurance for an additional 30 million people.
Tuesday morning, three Supreme Court Justices -- Justice Samuel Alito, Justice John Robert, and Justice Anthony Kennedy -- asked tough questions of the law's opponents. According to 9News Now reporter Bruce Leshan, the Solicitor General was slightly nervous when he came out for the hearing.
LISTEN: Supreme Court Audio - Department of Health and Human Servs. v. Florida
One thing that stood out was Justice Stephen Breyer's comment concerning a hypothetical situation in which a disease was sweeping the country. Justice Breyer asked if you had some percentage of the population that was vulnerable to the disease, could the government force those people in that population to get inoculated? The justice returned to that scenario repeatedly, and at one point the opponents were forced to say "no" the government would not have that power.

BRIDGEPORT, Conn. (AP) — Christian music's top artists have performed for 10,000 people packing a Connecticut arena and 26,000 more watching online in "A Night of Hope and Healing" from the school shootings in Newtown.
Worship at the arena in nearby Bridgeport was led by Steven Curtis Chapman, Toby Mac, Chris Tomlin, Laura Story, Mandisa (man-DEE'-sah), Casting Crowns and Building 429, with messages from the Rev. Louie Giglio (GIGH'-lee-oh) and the Rev. Max Lucado (loo-KAY'-doh).
Giglio assured Newtown residents that while the rest of the world may have moved on, the people of God haven't forgotten them.
Chapman, whose youngest daughter was run over and killed in the family's driveway in 2008, performed songs from his own time of grief and proclaimed that "God is faithful." He also led the audience in singing the hymn "It Is Well With My Soul."

After a few minor TV roles (e.g. an episode of "Daktari"), Williams was brought to Hollywood to play Linc Hayes, former street offender turned undercover cop on "The Mod Squad" (ABC, 1968-73). Rather than be cast in similar roles on TV or in "Blaxploitation" films, Williams fled Hollywood when the series folded, although he did reprise the role of Linc in a 1979 TV-movie. But it was not until the 90s that he began acting in TV regularly again, now in his almost patented, intense style in such projects as John Frankenheimer's "Against the Wall" (HBO, 1994) in which he was a leader of the Attica prison riots.Juicy film roles did not come until middle age, when he was cast as Prince's abusive f...

Hello all.
We had single server setup now and planning for migration to multi server. I think we needs to enable full proxy mode (imap+pop+http). I read the documentation and found that zimbra proxy may operates as full http proxy, throws session traffic through itself between the client and mailbox server. So the client operates with proxy as he operates with mailbox server directly. I installed two mailbox servers and proxy+ldap+mta server. Then on all 3 servers run this command:
/opt/zimbra/libexec/zmproxyconfig -e -m -w -H mail-test-proxyldap.zm.bsu.edu.ru
zmcontrol restart
I assumed this command must turn on web and mail proxying functionality (right?). Now in web browser HTTP access on proxy is not working (port 80 closed). HTTPS access is works and show standart zimbra login page but when I type username and password it redirects me to one of mailbox server after login. But I thought that I must work with mailbox server through proxy all time. May be I'm misunderstood something or make incorrect configuration ? Need your help.
