From a domestic box office perspective, The Avengers, The Dark Knight Rises and The Hunger Games were the winners in 2012, with The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 2 and Skyfall coming in fourth and fifth respectively.

Is Joseph Gordon-Levitt Playing Batman In Justice League A Good Idea?
It's just a rumor for now, but a completely fascinating one, and one that opens up all kinds of strange possibilities for the story a Justice League movie would tell. The biggest hurdle, of course, is that Gordon-Levitt isn't Bruce Wayne, and would be a tie-in to Nolan's universe in which, of course, Christian Bale is Bruce Wayne. Would a Justice League really do away with Bruce Wayne entirely and stick with a character Nolan invented for his third Batman film?

The Russo Palace Hotel overlooks the lagoon of Venice, immersed in the romantic ambiance of the island of Lido, a place that mere words cannot describe such is the poetry and beauty of the landscapes, suspended between the water and the earth where time seems to slow down and nature offers a unique experience.
Piazzale Santa Maria Elisabetta, the commercial center of Lido and the point of arrival for the water taxis, is just five hundred meters from Russo Palace Hotel and the beach cabanas. This was a favorite spot of the European nobility a century ago and, today, travellers in search of peace, relaxation and the excellent services of the historic bathing facilities come here to enjoy the beach.
The Lido also offers splendid nature trials that lead to the oasis of Alberoni, a prestigious golf club beloved by many golf fans and the sophisticated Mostra d'Arte Cinematografica Internazionale, otherwise known as the Venice Film Festival, that takes place every September, when the streets of the island come alive with events and celebrities from the world of the arts and culture.
Venice, just a few minutes by boat from Lido, needs no introduction. It is the most romantic city in the world and perhaps the most beautiful. In any case, it is the most original and enchanting. Piazza San Marco, the Rialto bridge, the island of Giudecca and quiet neighborhoods like Cannaregio and Castello tells the stories of the past, of art and of the soul of the Serenissima.

Auburn area runners, spectators avoid Boston blast by minutes
For some Auburn area runners and their supporters at Monday's Boston Marathon, a matter of minutes turned out to be the difference from being near the explosions that killed three people and injured more than 130 others – at least 15 critically.
Jennifer Entz of Auburn said she had been sitting with her mother in the VIP section near the finish line where a pair of bombs went off, but she had gone to greet her sister, Keri Garcia, upon finishing the race about 15 minutes before detonation.
Garcia, a 1984 Placer High School graduate, had been running despite suffering an injury. Entz didn't think her sister would be able to complete the 26.2-mile course. So as soon as Garcia finished the race, Entz hustled over to meet her sibling on a side street, on the opposite side of the building on Boylston Street, where the bombs exploded.
"The weird thing is she said she was going to pull out of the race," Entz said. "If she pulled up, we would have been waiting and sitting right there. Thankfully she pushed through and finished in still a good time. Thankfully we got out of there."
The bloody scene of shattered glass and severed limbs raised alarms that terrorists might have struck again in the U.S. A White House official speaking on condition of anonymity because the investigation was still unfolding said the attack was being treated as an act of terrorism.
President Barack Obama vowed that those responsible will "feel the full weight of justice."
After watching video footage of the tragic event unfold on TV, Entz said, "one of the explosions was right by where we were sitting." Entz said she's never heard anything like the booming noises.
"It was kind of like thunder," she said, "but 100 times louder. It was just crazy loud."
Runner Jeremy Brown of Folsom said he pushed hard to beat the four-hour mark, finishing 3 hours, 59 minutes and 8 seconds after the starting gun sounded. Shortly after he cleared the finish line, the race had its abrupt end punctuated with a horrific sound. Video at the time of an explosion showed the race time to be 4:09:41.
"I was around the corner," Brown said on Facebook. "Everyone froze but it took awhile before people realized what was going on."
Brown said when explosions rocked the area, he was waiting for a bus, not too far from the finish.
"We could hear it, since it was pretty close," he told the Folsom Telegraph, a sister publication to the Auburn Journal. "In fact, I was surprised when I saw how small the explosions were when I saw them on TV. It was a big boom.
"This was a big deal and was the race on my calendar. This is the only thing that's been on the horizon for me for the last year-and-a-half."
A senior U.S. intelligence official said two other bombs were found near the end of the course in what appeared to be a well-coordinated attack.
Authorities shed no light on a motive or who may have carried out the bombings, and police said they had no suspects in custody. Authorities in Washington said there was no immediate claim of responsibility.
Jenny Winger, a 1981 Placer High School alumna now living in Loomis, told the Journal Wednesday that she would be running the marathon and traveling to Boston with her mother, Angie Boyd of Rocklin, and staying for 10 days to do some sightseeing.
A message left for Winger was not returned Monday, but her friend, Laura Haase, said in an email that "she is okay and just pretty shaken up."
"I just cannot believe it," Haase said. "Jenny and I ran it 2 years ago and our husbands were standing in almost that exact spot where the first bomb went off."
Winger finished in 4:05:36 on Monday.
"She was getting water and heard the booms and turned around and saw what looked like debris being thrown into the street. She said they shut everything down immediately and she couldn't even get food," Haase wrote. "The SWAT teams came in their big black SUVs and got everyone out of the finish area. It took her awhile to find her mother and then they had to walk back to their hotel, about 6 miles away! After running 26 miles!"
Entz is now afraid to travel around town.
"We're from little Auburn," Entz said by phone from Massachusetts. "This is kind of crazy for us. We don't feel safe going outside."
They planned on staying in Boston until Wednesday before flying to New York, but they're unsure if they're still going to visit the Big Apple. Originally, they were going to attend a post-party for the marathon Tuesday night.
"We're just staying in the hotel room and ordering in," said Entz, who had been advised not to go out in public by Boston-area TV news stations. "We feel blessed and we're thanking God that we weren't there at the time."
A few hours after the blasts, Entz's mind was still racing and she was still kind of shaky.
"It was crazy," she said, recalling the moment. "Nobody really knew what was happening at first. We heard that first explosion. Everybody just stopped. We went back to our business then we heard the second one and my mom said, 'That was an explosion.' After that it was all sirens and sirens. My sister had to run three miles back to the hotel after running 26 — the poor thing."
Erik Bost, of Rocklin, registered for the race but ended up not going because of a lingering foot injury. The 39-year-old has been running since he was 15, and it would have been his first Boston Marathon – his family would have been watching.
"I didn't believe it" Bost said, when asked about his reaction to Monday's events. "But I understand the venue is an international event that captures the attention of the world."
William Bachicha, an endodontist who lives and works in Rocklin, said he was in the third wave of runners, putting him about 40 minutes behind those who started first.
"I was still on the course by the time the explosion occurred," he said. "I didn't learn about the explosion until I was about a half to three-quarters of a mile from the finish. And I saw a lot of runners and spectators, and police security on the course. So they told me to slow down because they were not letting any runners through."
Bachicha, who traveled to Boston alone, was able to gather his bag and get back to his hotel, and once he found a subway that was open, he got on a flight home. This was his 19th Boston Marathon, he said, and he said that if he has the opportunity to go back next year, he will.
The event reverberated through social media all day Monday, with Entz posting a picture of her finger pointing to a TV screen showing twisted metal barriers near the bleachers with the caption "this is where we had been sitting." Brown also assured his Facebook friends that he was safe.
Roseville 34-year-old Bill Clements finished the race in 3:18:46 and posted on Facebook: "I AM OKAY! Please pray for others that are out there!"
Word of the events spread quickly from the East Coast to West. Rick Grimm of Cool had been working at Auburn Running Company on Lincoln Way when early reports of the news started coming in.
"It's a tragedy for running, and the Boston Marathon is iconic. It's the biggest marathon historically in the world, really. And, if it's a terrorist attack, it's a shame it has to affect running," Grimm said. "Running is universal."
Some 23,000 runners took part in the race.
Cynci Calvin of Auburn's Endurance Capital Committee is the lone runner from Auburn listed in the event's athlete tracker, and it showed she reached the 40K mark of the race in 4:33:16, with about two kilometers until the finish. She did not have a finishing time – indicating she possibly could have been stopped prior to reaching the area where the explosions occurred.
Calvin is one of several Sacramento Running Association staff members who ran in the marathon, and Executive Director John Mansoor, co-founder of the California International Marathon, said he had heard from all of them except Calvin.
Mansoor said Calvin likely would have been finishing closer to the five-hour mark, well after the blast.
"Nobody is anticipating a problem because the blast occurred at 4 hours, 9 minutes and I think Cynci would be happy to run the time, die and go to heaven if she could actually run that fast," Mansoor said. "Obviously, everybody is in kind of state of shock at this point."
As race director for the CIM for the past 30 years, Mansoor said what happened in Boston realized "one of my greatest fears." It already has him planning to "ratchet up" security for the marathon in Sacramento.
"It's nearly impossible to secure that kind of course," he said. "There's just not enough law enforcement available, short of bringing the National Guard. And, ironically, the National Guard did secure the course for the CIM in the first four years.
"There's no question that this is going to change the nature of a lot of running events."

Basically, I forward ports 25, 443, 7071, and 22 to the physical server.
I know how to do this configuration with SplitDNS and all that.
In my configuration, I use zimbra to receive a copy of emails from my real email server.
Also, I have my users use zimbra itself to email back and forth.
Under the hood, I use SMTP Auth technique to relay emails from zimbra to my real email server.
I don't use the desktop client, just to be clear. All web
Now why couldnt I setup a 2nd physical box and forward ports as shown:
225 -> 25
4443 -> 443
7701 -> 7071
2222 -> 22
It seems the real question is this.
To pull this off wouldn't I need to get into the 2nd physical server configuration and tell it not to use port 25 but rather port 225 ?
If that's he case then I wouldn't need to port forward 225 to 25 right ?
So, where and how do I tell zimbra not to use the standard port 25 for it's business but the port I say ?
Any other problems with what I want to do ?

Diesel prices are up nearly five cents, says Energy Information Administration
July 12, 2011
Diesel prices went up for just the second time in ten weeks, according to data from the Department of Energy's Energy Information Administration (EIA).
The average price per gallon for diesel rose 4.9 cents to $3.899 per gallon, marking its biggest weekly increase since the week of April 4, when prices went up 4.4 cents to $3.976 per gallon.
Prior to this increase diesel prices had fallen a cumulative 27.4 cents since hitting a 2011 high of $4.124 per gallon the week of May 2.
Compared to a year ago, diesel prices are up 99.6 cents.
While diesel saw a relatively sizable gain in its weekly prices, the price per barrel of crude oil is down $1.05 to $95.15 per barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange, according to media reports.
An Associated Press report stated that oil prices have been following on the heels of a weekend disclosure that inflation in China reached a three-year high in June. It added that rising consumer prices will heap even more pressure on the country's expanding economy, explaining that could affect energy demand and also pointing out that oil has been climbing on the expectation that China will drive world oil demand.
As LM has reported, even with the recent decline of diesel prices, shippers and carriers
remain concerned about the price of diesel and oil. While many have indicated that prices at current levels are still digestible, they cautioned that could quickly change depending on how quickly prices rise with summer driving season officially here.
And even with declines in prices in recent weeks, the focus from a supply chain perspective for managing fuel price ebbs and flows—for shippers—is more on utilization and efficiency by doing things like driving empty miles out of transportation networks.

The Monk is remembered for being one of the more lurid and "transgressive" of Gothic novels. It is also the first book to feature a priest as the villain.
The story concerns Ambrosio - a pious, well-respected monk in Spain - and his violent downfall.
I love this book. It's very intriguing. It reads like a movie since the writing is so visual, exciting and complex.
An excellent gothic novel. Very similar to Jan Potocki's "The Manuscript Found in Saragossa", this is a classic tale of both supernatural beings and love.

So, this is in regard to the OSS version.
I've upgraded my install a few times as new releases are made, but I cant help thinking that things may be better with a clean install, so I get to thinking that it may be nice to simply install from fresh and then somehow bring the data across.
I think this could be done, but I'm unsure how. Perhaps if I recreate the accounts from scratch on the new install and then use imapsync to bring the mail over (dont know how to use that yet though) but then calendar data etc becomes an issue.
Is there an easy way to add the data to a fresh install in this way, or should I just give up?
for info, one of the reasons I'm considering this is due to the problems with the daily reports, which still dont work on version4, I'm sure the zimbra team will say it does work, and that's exactly why I want a clean 4.0 install rather than the messed up version I have now.

NEW YORK - Brazilian model Nana Gouvea has sparked much in the way of outrage for a photo shoot amid wreckage from Superstorm Sandy.
The ex-Playboy Brazil model posed among demolished cars and downed trees for the photo shoot, which was posted to her Facebook page and has very quickly gone viral across the web.
Many viewers were outraged at a perceived lack of respect for victims by Gouvea, as chronicled in newspapers and websites around the world. A parody Facebook page - Nana Gouvea in Disasters - was quickly created and posted. The parody page features Gouvea posing seductively at the site of various events from around the world, from Tiannenmen Square to the French Revolution.
According to The Huffington Post, Gouvea commented to Brazilian site Globo Ego about how much she loves hurricanes, and saying they give her an opportunity to spend "quality time" with her husband, Carlos Keyes, who, they said, took the infamous photos.

I'm on the Edge….of storage… (and I'm hangin' on a modem with you)
If you haven't guessed from the blatant pop culture reference in the title of my blog , I spent the first week of June at the IBM Edge storage conference (and I promise if you keep reading that I'll refrain from making any puns on the Edge theme – despite the temptation to bring up a favorite Irish rock band hero ). Anyway, it would hardly be appropriate to mention another band when Foreigner did such an awesome job rockin' the conference. Who knew when I was growing up that the 80's would produce the greatest rock ballads of all time ?
Anyway, it's been a great week at IBM Edge, hearing about all the latest advances in storage technology; in case you missed the talk on SVC Stretch Clusters as an example of the ODIN reference architecture, let me say a few words about it here. This will get a bit technical, but don't worry…we're not going to have a quiz at the end.
The problem we're trying to solve is VM mobility over extended distance, and multi-site workload deployment across data centers. VM mobility not only improves availability of your applications, it's a more efficient way to use limited storage resources. The most common reason for using this approach typically involves some form of business continuity or disaster avoidance/recovery solution, including such planned events as migrating one data center to another or eliminating downtime due to scheduled maintenance. But given an increasingly global work force, there are other good reasons to explore VM mobility. Many clients are realizing that this approach provides load balancing and enhanced user performance across multiple time zones (the so-called "follow the sun" approach). Others are realizing that by moving workloads over distance, it's possible to optimize the cost of power to run the data center; since the lowest cost electricity is available at night, this strategy is known as "follow the moon".
IBM has announced a software bundle featuring Storage Volume Controller (SVC), which includes Stretch Clustering over long distance. This provides read/write access to storage volumes located far apart from each other, enabling data replication across multiple data centers. SVC works in concert with Tivoli Productivity Center (TPC) to manage your storage, and integration with VMWare's products like VMotion and vCenter enables transparent migration of virtual machines and their corresponding data or applications.
Let's consider two data centers separated by up to 300 km (supported in SVC 6.3), and interconnected by a traditional IP network such as the internet or by dark optical fiber. We require many of the features for an Open Datacenter with an Interoperable Network (ODIN) for this solution, including lossless Ethernet fabrics, automated port profile migration, Layer 2 VLANS in each location, and an intersite Layer 2 VLAN supporting MPLS/VPLS (preferably with a 10G or 100G Ethernet line speed between sites, since the SAN infrastructure is likely running either 8G or 16G Fibre Channel). An SVC split cluster uses industry standard Fibre Channel links for both node-to-node communication and for host access to SVC nodes, so your production sites must be connected by Fibre Channel links or FC-IP.
Generally a business continuity solution will define one physical location as a failure domain, though this can vary depending on what you're trying to protect against; a failure domain could also consist of a group of floors in a single building, or just different power domains in the same data center. In order for SVC to decide which storage nodes survive if we lose a failure domain, the solution uses a quorum disk (a management disk that contains a reserved area used exclusively for system management). At a minimum, you should have one active quorum disk on a separate power grid in one of your failure domains; up to three quorum disks can be configured with SVC, though only one is active at any given time. Metro mirroring is recommended for this type of solution; a maximum round trip delay of 80 ms is supported (note that routing is required, since the fabrics at each location are not merged).
Connectivity between sites may take several forms. First, if the regular Internet provides sufficient quality of service (QoS) and meets your business objectives for recovery time, recovery point, etc., the IBM SVC uses industry standard protocols (FC-IP) in conjunction with a Brocade switch infrastructure to transport storage over distance. This is typically a low cost option, though you might require multiple circuits with load balancing (a so-called virtual trunk). Second, it's possible to run a Brocade inter-switch link (ISL) between SVC nodes (with SVC 6.3.0 or higher). Brocade switches provide ISL options including consolidation of up to four ISLs at 4 Gbit/s each (creating a 16G trunk), or up to eight ISLs at 16 Gbit/s each (creating a 128G trunk). Buffer credit support for up to 250 km (nearly the SVC limit) is available. SVC supports SAN routing (including FC-IP links) for intercluster storage connections. Finally, note that you can connect multiple locations with optical fiber and use a variety of protocol-agnostic wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) products in this solution. This may provide better QoS or dedicated bandwidth for large applications. A 10G passive WDM option is available on some Brocade switches (with options such as in-flight compression and encryption), or a stand-alone WDM product can be employed (IBM has qualified many such solutions, including those from ODIN participants Adva, Ciena, and Huawei). Your local service provider may also offer a variety of managed service backup options using a combination of these features. Attachment of each SVC node to both local and remote SAN switches (without ISLs) is typically done in this case. Both the ISL and non-ISL approaches are known as split I/O groups.
IBM SVC storage manager works in concert with vCenter through API plug-ins. This includes VADP (which provides data protection for snapshot backups at the VMware-level rather than the LUN level, allowing you to concentrate on the value of the VM rather than the physical location of the associated data). Performance improvements can be achieved by offloading some functions to the storage hypervisor, as well. The storage hypervisor includes a virtualization platform, controller, and management (TPC supports application aware snapshots of your data through Flash Copy Manager). At the management level, IBM also allows the storage hypervisor components to be managed as plug-ins for vCenter. VM location can be managed through vCenter with Global Server Load Balancer (GSLB), which works in concert with a Brocade API plug-in. Further, vCenter is integrated with Brocade Application Resource Broker (ARB), which can report VM status back to a Brocade ADX switch. vCenter and GSLB manage both VM and IP profiles, performing intelligent load balancing to redirect traffic to the VM's new location.
With this combination of ODIN best practices, IBM SVC, and Brocade SAN/FC-IP connectivity, your data can rest easy, wherever it happens to be (and so can you).

WASHINGTON – Student enrollment is up in Fairfax County, prompting school officials to consider building new schools to alleviate overcrowding.
By September 2012, 3,000 more students were enrolled in the county's public schools compared to September 2011.
The Capital Improvement Program proposes adding three elementary schools and one high school. One elementary school would be added in the eastern and western parts of the county, and one along Route 1.
The high school would be added to relieve over crowding at Centreville, Chantilly and South Lakes high schools.
The program will cost more than $870 million over five years, pending approval from the school board and the planning commission.
The School Board will hold a public hearing on the fiscal year 2014 to 2018 Capital Improvement Program at 6 p.m., Monday, Jan.7, 2013, at Jackson Middle School in Falls Church, Va. The board will vote on the plan on Thursday, Jan. 24, 2013.

It is beyond comprehension to think that every night when we go to bed we share our sheets and covers with a parasite that feeds on human blood!
However, you will be relieved to know that bed bugs are not as dangerous as we might think. Yes, they are annoying, and yes, they can cause skin irritation, but – they are not 'dangerous'. Bed bug bites don't cause any serious health problems unlike fleas or ticks, which can transmit a variety of diseases (some of which can be quite serious). none the less they should be exterminated as soon as possible, but there is no need to panic!
To know for sure if you have bed bugs, it is important to know what bed bug bites look like, and be able to identify the difference between bed bug bites vs flea bites. Flea bites are random and they are usually found on a person's legs (and ankles). Bed bug bites are grouped together and they are usually found on the upper parts of one's body, including the face and neck.
Bed bugs are tiny creatures that are brown or red in colour and have oval-shaped bodies with the fully grown adult probably no more than about 5mm in length, and about 2mm in width.
One adult female can produce nearly two hundred eggs in very short time. Bed bugs live only for about 1 year, but they reproduce incredibly fast.
Given that any temperature below 46c (116F) will give a good home to a bed bug, we are all being exposed to the tiny creatures in epidemic proportions.
Unfortunately, because bed bugs have such thin bodies they can hide in the skirting boards, in between the floor boards and in any small crack or crevice in your bedroom. So a good strong vacuum will not always clear every bed bug from the room.
If you notice faecal staining on your bed or even on the walls close to the bed, it is likely you have a bed bug infestation. To avoid bed bugs you should regularly wash your pillow cases and sheets in hot water and dry on a high heat setting for at least 20 minutes and try to prevent sheets draping on the floor or carpet when on the bed itself.
Bed bug bites are not considered dangerous, but they can cause certain skin problems, such as skin rashes and allergic reactions. It is not very easy to diagnose bed bug bites. However, it is helpful to know what they look like.
What Are Bed Bugs exactly?
■ Bed bugs are parasites that live in beds, closets, and wall cracks. These bugs are nocturnal, they feed during the night, and people cannot feel their bites right away. The bites will be visible after several days.
■ Bed bugs are brownish or reddish; they have flattened bodies without any hind wings. Adult bed bugs can grow to some five millimeters in length. In the beginning, bed bugs are light in color, but as they grow, the color changes to brown. These parasites are often mistaken for insects like carpet beetles, booklice, etc. Bed bugs communicate by using kairomones and pheromones.
Bed Bug Bite Symptoms
■ The symptoms usually do not appear right away, the bites will be visible after several days. You will see small reddish bumps, grouped together on your face, neck, arms or shoulders. The bites will become itchy after a couple of days. People who have sensitive skin may experience severe itchiness and a burning sensation in the surrounding bite area. In most people the rashes will subside after a week or so without any medical treatment.
■ Your skin can get even more irritated if exposed to sweat, chlorinated water, warm water, etc. If you see blisters on your skin, go to your doctor right away. Allergic reaction is not very common, but it is possible. If you experience any sign of allergic reaction, speak to your GP.
■ Bed bugs usually need to feed around once a month so that is why these symptoms can reoccur once subsided, In most people, the rash disappears after a week or so, but it can come back after a week or two, because bed bugs will need more blood.
■ Take a look at your bed sheets. If you see small dark spots on the sheets, this can be an indicator that you have bed bugs.
■ Some people are allergic to certain components of bed bug saliva. In such cases, severe allergic reactions are possible. However, these cases are very rare.
■ Skin can get damaged, but only if you scratch it. Therefore, you should not touch the affected skin. You can use some remedies to relieve the itchiness. Some of the most popular remedies for bed bug bites include lavender oil, calamine lotion, olive oil, baking soda, antibacterial soaps and cold water.
Antibacterial soap will lower the risk of secondary infections. Lavender oil will reduce the itchiness. You can use cold water to relive the burning sensation. However, before you start using any remedies, it will be wise to talk to your dermatologist. You have to be certain that these really are bed bug bites, before starting any treatment.
How to Prevent Bed Bugs
■ You can try several methods of prevention. The most effective way is to speak to someone who specializes in pest control/prevention. They will use special chemicals for this purpose.
■ In addition you can also call professional furniture cleaners. They will clean your furniture fully and you will be free from bed bugs for quite a while. However, you will have to maintain the hygiene in your home.
■ Remove old furniture from the house. Bed bugs live in bed frames, mattresses, armchairs, etc. They can even be found in the wall cracks.
Effective Home Remedies for Bed Bug Rashes
Bed bugs cannot transmit any diseases, but they can lead to certain problems, when it comes to your skin. If your skin is sensitive, you can visit your dermatologist to see if you can get some soothing lotion. There are many products made for such purposes. You can find creams and gels that are very effective in preventing bed bug bites. Most of these products are applied right before going to bed. This will keep you safe during the night and prevent bed bugs from biting you again.
Bed bug rashes usually do not require any treatment. The rashes will disappear in roughly ten days, but in the meantime, you can do several things to relieve the itchiness.
■ Calamine lotion is considered very helpful in treating bed bug rashes.
■ You can also use lavender oil. However, you must not smother the skin with lavender oil (or any other oil), because these products won't let your skin breathe if you use them too often.
■ Olive oil is another good option for reducing the skin irritation.
■ You can also use some antibacterial soap, in order to prevent skin infection. People with sensitive skin are often advised to use antibacterial soap. Talk to your doctor about the right type of soap, suitable for your skin type.
■ Baking soda is another good home remedy for bed bug rashes. Mix it with water to create a paste and then apply onto the affected skin. Wait until it is dry and then wash it off.
■ Cold water can help you relieve the itchiness.
■ Bed bugs reproduce incredibly fast. Just one adult female is capable of producing hundreds of eggs in very short time. These bugs have very short life span (they only live for a year), but during that time, they can produce hundreds of eggs.
■ The best way to prevent bed bugs is to keep your house clean. You can use some chemicals made especially for this purpose. However, you should opt for products that are not harmful to humans (or animals). This is very important, especially if you have pets. Make sure to store these chemicals where your pets can't reach it. The bottle must be closed and kept away from children! If you (or any member of your family) are hypersensitive or allergic to anything, talk to your doctor before using any of these chemicals.
Home Remedies for Bed Bug Bites
The most popular home remedies for bed bug bites include:
■ Calamine lotion
■ Baking soda
■ Antibacterial soap
■ Lavender oil
■ Olive oil
■ Cold water can be very helpful. It will calm the itchiness.
If you have been bitten, you must not scratch the skin. Bed bug rash is very itchy, but you must not scratch it! Scratching can lead to irritation and it can leave scars. If your child has been bitten, you have to explain that he/she must not scratch the skin. You can visit your dermatologist and ask for some soothing lotion. Some of these products are applied onto the skin right before going to bed, so you will be safe during the night.
However, you should not just wait for the rash to disappear. You should do something to prevent bed bugs from biting you again.
How to Prevent Bed Bug Bites
■ The best way to prevent bed bug bites is to exterminate bed bugs! You can find many different products made for bed bugs extermination. Many of these chemicals are believed to be quite safe, but you need to read the labels carefully. Always store these chemicals in a safe place, where they can't be reached.
■ Bed bugs love old furniture, like closets, beds, armchairs and carpets. They also hide in the wall cracks. Fixing your walls will help you prevent other insects, as well. Storing the old furniture in the house is not a good idea. If you store any old furniture in the house, remove it!
Bed Bug Rash
Bed bugs are active during the night, and that is why most people do not even know they have these bugs in the house. Skin rash is the first symptom of bed bug bites. These bites look like small reddish bumps, grouped together. In most cases, the bites occur on a person's face, forearms, shoulders or neck.
Bed bug bites are not dangerous. These parasites feed on our blood (which is exactly why many people are afraid of them), but they cannot transmit any diseases. The rash will disappear after one or two weeks, and in most cases, it won't require any treatment. It is important not to scratch the skin, because this will cause more irritation. If you have sensitive skin, do not touch the bites! You can use some natural remedies to reduce the itchiness. For example, you can use calamine lotion, lavender oil, olive oil and baking soda. Antibacterial soaps will help you prevent skin infections.
Bed bug bites are different from fleabites. Fleabites are usually random, while bed bug bites are grouped together. If you are not sure whether these are bed bug bites or fleabites, you can always go to your dermatologist. If you have very sensitive skin, perhaps it will be better to visit your doctor and get some lotions or creams to calm the irritation.
If you store any old furniture in the house, you can expect bed bugs to show up sooner or latter. These creatures live in bed frames, wall cracks, closets and other dark places. Old furniture is actually a perfect environment for these bugs.
Bed bugs reproduce very fast, so you will have to do something to prevent this. Clean your house thoroughly. You can call professional cleaners to come and clean your furniture (especially beds and closets). You can also buy some chemicals for bed bug prevention.
Bed bugs cannot cause any serious health problems, but their bites can lead to skin irritation. After all, it is very unpleasant to have bugs in your bed! Do something about it, before they start reproducing.
Bed bug bites treatment usually includes home remedies such as lavender oil, calamine lotion, baking soda, antibacterial soaps, and other similar remedies. Let us find out more about bed bug bites.
Bed bug rashes are usually found on one's neck, shoulders, forearms and face. These bites look like small reddish bumps, grouped together. Bed bugs cannot transmit any diseases, but they can lead to skin irritation. The bites are very itchy, but you must not scratch the skin! The rash will go away in ten days, without any special treatment. However, if your skin is sensitive, you can use some home remedies to calm the skin irritation.

these are my new favorite pair of readers….i just ordered 2 more pairs….
not only can I read better but everyone thinks Im cool. Love them
Socks were knocled off when I opened the package and experienced the sturdy construction and fine fit of these spectacles. I can wear them with any of my bespoke suits or Khaki pants and Keen sandals and style transition is, at once, complete and seemless. REALLY good price to look so updated or retro!
Just received these today. They are beautiful glasses. Really sturdy and funky to boot!!
arrived in Australia in about 2 weeks
I just received these in the mail today. They are light-weight and funky! I'm quite pleased with them. In my opinion they would suit a smaller face. I have an average size face (although a little on the rounder side) and they are borderline too small. But for the price, I'll keep them for sure, when I feel like looking funky!

There is a huge market for anti-aging creams, serums, injections, and procedures, but not all products deliver healthy or visible results. With pH Advantage Anti-Aging products, results are improved by the inclusion of quality, medical-grade ingredients. Developed by Barry J. Cohen, M.D., a renowned plastic surgeon, pH Advantage Anti-Aging products provide targeted anti-aging care using ingredients that Dr. Cohen recommends to patients that visit his office. These products include high concentrations of effective ingredients that are shown to work. By incorporating pH Advantage Anti-Aging solutions into your regular skincare routine, you will be able to recapture your skin's youthful radiance.
Products developed by Dr. Cohen as a part of the pH Advantage Anti-Aging line are formulated to minimize the signs of aging. Whether caused by sun damage, stress, genetics, lifestyle, diet, or other factors, your skin can be renewed and refreshed with the right treatment. These formulas include high doses of treatments proven to reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and dark circles. Ingredients also encourage your skin's natural processes and leave it better equipped to protect itself against environmental dangers and other potentially harmful elements.
Because pH Advantage Anti-Aging products use a high dose of medical-grade ingredients to target fine lines and wrinkles, the results are substantially noticeable. From cleansing to moisturizing, it is important to consider your skin's particular needs. Stressed and wrinkled skin needs to be targeted with the proper ingredients to improve its overall appearance and return it to a healthy, youthful state.
Protecting and healing your skin begins with a good moisturizer. pH Advantage Rhydex-2 is an ideal daily moisturizer for those concerned about the effects of aging on the skin. Using a topical muscle relaxer called Gamma Amino Butyric Acid, this formula immediately begins to smooth skin and reduce the appearance of wrinkles. Oligopeptides work to increase skin's elasticity and encourage better production of collagen. This moisturizer provides a high level of hydration to the skin and is suitable for all types of skin.
Night time provides the opportunity to treat your skin with minimal interference from environmental free radicals and cosmetics. pH Advantage Glycolic Exfoliating Moisturizer 3 will help you cultivate bright, healthy, and youthful skin while you sleep. The night cream contains 11 percent Glycolic Acid to help reduce pigmentation, sun damage, and fine lines. Your skin will be fresh and rejuvenated in the morning.
Begin your anti-aging measures with pH Advantage Glycolic Gel Cleanser and ensure that skin is deeply cleansed and free from pollutants, dead cells, and dull skin. This cleanser relies on 8 percent Glycolic Acid to gently exfoliate the skin, leaving it radiant and revitalized. The cleanser is suitable for all skin types.

COLLEGE PARK, Md. (WUSA)- A Washington D.C. man is under arrest after a pursuit Friday afternoon in Prince George's and Montgomery Counties that resulted in the injury of a trooper, said police.
James C. Gregory, 23, of Washington, was arrested and faces charges of second degree attempted murder, first degree assault, second degree assault, theft of a motor vehicle, theft over $1000, resisting arrest, providing a false statement to police and for committing numerous traffic violations.
On Friday, police responded to a report of a stolen 2007 gray Honda Accord with Maryland tags which was traveling in the area of southbound I-95 and I-495 in Prince George's County. When a trooper spotted the car, he followed it into the Greenbelt Metro Station where the driver parked.
When the trooper approached the car on foot and ordered the suspect to turn off the engine, the suspect refused and drove away with the trooper in pursuit on northbound I-495. Another trooper joined the chase, and the suspect continued driving, exiting at Baltimore Avenue heading north.
A third trooper, Manuel Moreno, heard the pursuit and tried to place tire deflating devices in the roadway to stop the stolen Honda. The suspect avoided the tire deflating devices, intentionally striking Moreno.
The suspect continued driving, ultimately parking in the 10800 block of Blossom Lane in Silver Spring. Troopers lost sight of the car, but after its description was dispatched, the ar was recovered, and Montgomery County officers saw the suspect in the area of Gatewood Avenue and Burt Mills Avenue. They took him into custody without incident. When he complained of injury, he was taken to Holy Cross Hospital.
Moreno was treated for minor injuries and released.
There is no known motive for Gregory's actions. The investigation is continuing.

Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. Today I am pleased to convene this hearing, bearing witness to the plight of internally displaced persons in the Caucasus Region and Southeastern Anatolia, as hundreds of thousands are displaced in refugee-like situations and for years remain unable to return home. The north Caucasus region of the Russian Federation, Georgia, Azerbaijan, Armenia and Turkey represent the greatest concentration of IDPs fleeing conflicts anywhere in the 55-nation Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE). These protracted situations make the prospects for significant numbers of individuals returning home in safety and dignity seem remote.
IDPs often exist in refugee-like situations, fleeing violence en masse and relocating to camps, unable to return. Not having crossed an international border, IDPs are afforded no protection by the UN Refugee Convention despite similar needs as refugees. The country of nationality bears responsibility for the care of IDP populations, which also limits the ability of the international community to respond effectively. As we will learn today, much needs to be done.
In Russia, reports continue to arise of authorities forcing IDPs to return to war-torn Chechnya, despite continuous violence there. The most recent U.S. State Department human rights report stated that approximately 140,000 persons remained internally displaced within Chechnya, with 110,000 more displaced in the neighboring republic of Ingushetia. Camp closures place thousands in a precarious position, and despite international attention, including a letter initiated last fall by the Helsinki Commission, the Russian Government continues to pressure IDPs to return, as well as limit the ability of NGOs to provide assistance.
More than ten years after fighting began over the Nagorno-Karabakh region of Azerbaijan, a very large IDP population remains. The U.S. Committee on Refugees estimated in 2002 Azerbaijan had roughly 570,000 internally displaced persons, with nearly 250,000 living in refugee-like circumstances. The government appears unwilling to allow integration, keeping many thousands in squalid IDP camps. Effectively, the IDP population has become political hostages to this frozen conflict, as it seems Azerbaijan fears allowing IDPs to resettle elsewhere would signify the surrender of the Nagorno-Karabakh region.
The vulnerable internally displaced, equaling more than 264,000 persons in the Republic of Georgia, are a result of conflicts over the Georgian autonomous regions of Abkhazia and South Ossetia. Due to a series of conflicts throughout the 1990's, hundreds of thousands fled their homes, as the parties signed, broke and reestablished cease-fire agreements. UN-sponsored negotiations have failed to bring the contending parties to agreement in either of these cases. While some experts harbor cautious optimism about South Ossetia, the Abkhazia conflict seems as far as ever from resolution or even substantial progress.
Neighboring Armenia holds 50,000 IDPs fleeing fighting near the border areas with Azerbaijan. There are large numbers of Armenian refugees who fled Azerbaijan, but the focus of today's event is on internally displaced persons--IDPs--escaping an armed conflict. We will therefore not be examining, for example, the situation of people displaced because of the 1987 earthquake in Armenia.
Kurdish IDPs remain in southeastern Turkey, a result of the conflict between government forces and the Kurdish "PKK" terrorist group. Numerical estimates of the displaced range from 400,000 to one million, depending on whether the estimate comes from NGOs, the United Nations or the Turkish Government. With the lifting of the last state of emergency in November 2002, the area continues to normalize; however, there appears to be no corresponding increase in the number of IDPs allowed to return home, despite a series of government programs.
The OSCE has repeatedly addressed the issue of IDPs, but usually in the context of specific country situations. While standard-setting language has been slow in developing, helpful commitments have emerged through the OSCE consensus process. Most recently at the 2002 Porto Ministerial, participating States unanimously adopted the following language, stating "We...encourage additional steps by the countries concerned to facilitate sustainable solutions to their [the IDPs'] plight, including the full exercise of their rights to return home and to repossess their properties throughout the region."
In closing, we must address this problem now, as thousands and thousands of individuals are displaced and suffering. More must be done to find just, realistic and durable solutions. Considering the gravity of the situation, I am very pleased with today's panel of experts. The panelists will provide insight and ideas on how U.S., OSCE and UN policy can move and assist governments in finding durable solutions and end the suffering.

My prayers are with the victim and her family and hopefully they find the animal that did it and justice is served.
I hope they find the shooter quickly!
Wow, i almost went there about an hour ago since it is the closest convenience store to my apt. Yet I ended up going to the Kum and Go on Welch because I also wanted a Jimmy Johns sub. If I wasn't craving some JJ's I could be dead, this is just crazy and very sad. Prayers go out to the victim and her family.

But, you musn't touch!
His name sounds good in your ear
But when you say it, you mustn't fear
Because his name can be said by anyone!

That was kinda my assumption. Domestic. I just don't understand how a gun solves any issues. Yes it takes human life away, but is it really worth life in prison?

Wentworth, NC -- The Rockingham County Fire Marshal and sheriff's office say they are looking for a vehicle possibly involved in two recent church fires.
Authorities are still looking for information on the identity of the person who drives a 1980s green Honda Accord that looks similar to the one pictured above.
Note: This picture shows a similar vehicle. This is not the exact car deputies need help finding.
The Accord might have faded paint--and possibly primer--as well as a loud muffler, according to the sheriff's office.
Witnesses say they saw the car in question on Gideon Grove Church Road right around the time the Gideon Grove United Methodist Church fire was reported Dec. 23.
Read: Church Destroyed By Fire In Rockingham County
A second fire was reported in Stokesdale the next night at Mt. Zion United Methodist Church on Ellisboro Road.
Read: Church Fire Ruled Arson, Another Under Investigation
Deputies say the suspect is a white male, aged 18 to 25, around 5'10" to 6', 160 to 180 pounds.
Anyone with information on the vehicle or the suspect in the fire should call Crime Stoppers at 336-349-9683 or 1-800-ATF-FIRE.
ATF is offering a $10,000 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the person or people responsible for the Rockingham County Church fires.

PETERSBURG, Va. (AP) - Fort Lee is raising awareness of suicide prevention.
The Petersburg base participated Thursday in an Army-wide day devoted to suicide prevention.
Fort Lee's "stand down" also focused on sexual assault and harassment prevention.
The day's events and training began with more than 10,000 soldiers and other military personnel participating in a 2-mile run.
Fort Lee has been investigating whether four deaths this year were suicides. If confirmed, it would represent a sharp increase in the number of suicides.
The Army is the largest of the services and it has the highest number of suicides. The Pentagon has been struggling with a spike in the number of self-inflicted deaths this year.

I am running into a problem to let ZIMBRA to use both local and remote LDAP auth at the same time. Is this allowed in the system?
The reason I think it will work is that the current admin account is using local account, however, it is the only local account which can login into Zimbra. Now matter how, i get the following error:

Remote accounts are fine. I just want to create some users which do not need to be in the remote ldap db.

No. 17 Iowa State Prevails at TCU, 71-60
FORT WORTH, Texas – No. 17 Iowa State got its best shot from TCU Saturday at Daniel-Meyer Coliseum, but the Cyclones were eventually able to pull away from the Horned Frogs, 71-60. The win improved ISU to 21-5 overall, 9-5 in Big 12 play. TCU fell to 9-17 overall, 0-14 in conference competition.
Keys to the Game
Up 32-30 at the half, Iowa State saw TCU pull ahead, but the Cyclones always kept the Horned Frogs at arm's length, with TCU's biggest lead of the second half only getting to three points. After a Karviar Shepherd lay-in gave the Frogs a 47-44 lead, the Cyclones went to work on a 6-0 run to take a 50-47 lead with about 12 minutes left.
TCU was able to get a bucket through their star guard Kyan Anderson, but Iowa State got two straight buckets from Melvin Ejim and a score from DeAndre Kane to post its largest lead of the game, 56-50.
While Iowa State was not able to establish a big run to get away from TCU, what the Cyclones were able to do was match the Frogs when they began to apply pressure to the lead. Iowa State was finally able to put the game out of the reach of TCU when Georges Niang drove, converted and drew a foul on Sheperd. Then ensuing free throw put Iowa State ahead 64-57.
Iowa State got into an early 13-3 hole, due in part to the Big 12's leading scorer, Melvin Ejim, picking up two early offensive fouls. The Cyclones built their way back into the game and with the Horned Frogs' lead reduced to 17-15, head coach Fred Hoiberg decided to bring his star forward back into the game after a six minute rest.
Ejim responded by scoring six straight points, capped off with a dunk that tied the game at 21-21. The Frogs were able to re-take their lead, but the Cyclones finally found their way in front as Naz Long drove baseline and kicked cross-court to Matt Thomas for a corner 3-pointer that put ISU ahead 26-23.
The Cyclones ensured they would take the lead at the half as Georges Niang set a high screen for Morris and peeled into the open post where Morris found Niang for the easy lay-in and the 32-30 halftime lead.
Cyclone Game Ball Goes to…
DeAndre Kane. The versatility of the Iowa State guard frustrated the Horned Frogs the entire game. The senior had all the shots and looks going Saturday afternoon, he was able to pull up, get looks off screens and post up among his smorgasbord of moves. Kane's versatility was also important on a day when the Cyclones were only 1-of-10 from 3-point range.
Kane finished the game with 20 points on 8-of-14 shooting, six rebounds and five assists.
Cyclone Notes
*Iowa State is now 16-0 when leading at halftime this season.
*Melvin Ejim played in his 125th career game for Iowa State, tying him for fifth in school history with Klay Edwards, Jeff Grayer, Jacy Holloway and Jared Homan.
*DeAndre Kane scored in double figures for the fourth consecutive game and 22nd time this season.
Up Next
Iowa State returns to Hilton Coliseum for a game against West Virginia Wednesday night. The Cyclones and Mountaineers tip-off at 7 p.m. and will be televised on the Big 12 Network.

Doug Leach's 1957 Ford RancheroWritten by on November 1, 2002 One Man's Personal Tribute To His Dad
Great-grandma's wedding ring it's not. Actually, it's dad's old '57 Ranchero that occupies the coveted spot in Doug Leach's garage. The Leach family's relationship with Rancheros started with Doug's brother in 1961. He had a '57 as his high school car, and Doug remembers riding shotgun with his brother, haunting Whittier Boulevard in Southern California during the historic boulevard's cruising heyday. Doug's dad liked his elder son's Rancho so much that he purchased a slightly used one for himself from Diamond Bar Ranch in Diamond Bar, California, sometime during 1965. The Leach family, including the boys, kept the Ranchero busy as a commuter car, tow vehicle, motorcycle hauler, and occasional drag racer.
Doug's folks eventually moved to Oregon and took the beloved Ranchero along. They used it until it was eventually retired to the south forty, where it began its slow migration back into the soil. By 1988, Doug had bought the old hauler from his folks and soon began the long process of rebuilding the rusted hulk into the eye-catching beauty you see here. Now in its third incarnation since Doug took possession and--around 70 trophies later--the old family truckster lives on in fine style, back in Southern California, as Doug's personal tribute to his dad.

A new age for Sterling Silver Jewelry from the Southwest
Almost overnight, so it seems, we went from $6.00 per ounce to $36.00 per ounce for silver and from $200.00 per lb to $800.00 per lb for Turquoise. That is hard to swallow for a business that has to produce Jewelry to compete in a global marketplace. Well, that whats happening in the Turquoise Jewelry market today and the frosting on the cake is a recession from hell that we had nothing to do with.
Anyhow – Durango Silver Company is actually doing pretty darn good these days and we tribute that to our obsession to creating quality Turquoise Jewelry that nobody else has – in other words, we have no competition as we sell our own Jewelry. Looking to the future we realize Turquoise Jewelry is in the top ten types of Jewelry in demand today and we suspect it will even do better as time goes on. We are currently retooling and developing a new line of Silver Jewelry that is highly calibrated to have the exact weight of Silver that is needed to produce the perfect Silver Jewelry that will be in demand for the upcoming years. In addition, we have set up suppliers of the authentic Turquoise we will use in our new "Durango Collection" that professionally cut calibrated stones for their livelihood. Surprising but we can cut the cost to our clients by more than 30% by refining exactly what we are producing and exactly how we produce it in the good old USA!
Durango Silver Company is in the process of developing a great new line of Sterling Silver Turquoise Jewelry that you and the marketplace is going to love here in the USA as well as many others around the world. By the end of 2011, we will have a new line of Silver Turquoise Jewelry and we will also have distributors in several countries around the world.
