have any of you (two lucky readers) ever had a project in mind that started out simple but grew and grew?
that's how the story of rearranging and replacing the towel bars in our master bathroom turned into new towel bars, new wall paint, and new light fixtures for our master bathroom.
here's the scoop:
the towel bars in the 2 full baths of the house are arranged (i think) rather stupidly. they're right above one another. (this is actually a shot of the guest bathroom's towel bars because we'd already ripped ours down by the time i thought to get a picture, but the master's were arranged exactly the same!)
that meant if hubby is sloppy hanging up his towel, then i couldn't find the bar to put mine up to dry. sounds like a minor inconvenience, but it's really annoying to deal with on an almost daily basis. (no, we don't shower daily. call the hygiene police!) it's also a rather ugly arrangement. it turns the towels into these massive blocks of mismatching color that take up a huge chunk of wall.
so this moving-of-the-towel-bars project has been on our to-do list pretty much since we moved in. this needs to happen in both bathrooms really, but since the master is the only one used daily, we opted to start there.
but we definitely didn't end there.
taking down the original towel bars meant we had 4 lovely holes in our drywall. with a little creative patchwork, those were filled with pieces of drywall left from our shower renovation. (yay for being packrats and saving useably sized scraps!) then the gaps and screws were covered with drywall putty.
the work with the drywall putty was actually more extensive than just filling up gaps and covering screws. we also filled holes left by the previous owner's wall hanging decor.
here's problem #1: drywall putty gets sanded smooth and we have textured walls.
solution: wall texture from a spray can! we got ours at HD, but they don't have it on their website; here's another website that shows what we used. hubby tested it out on a piece of cardboard (per package directions, see pic below) and then went to town. it blended rather nicely with what was already there!
but then we ran into problem #2: 4 big ol' white spots on our solid painted wall!
solution: re-paint!
this is something else that's been on our to-do list almost since the move-in: paint the master bathroom. it was this mucky greenish brownish blah that i have a feeling we'll be seeing enough of when the baby arrives. we didn't want to go with anything quite so saturated as the shower/toilet area or most of the walls in our master bedroom, but we liked those colors. so we decided to go with a lighter version of what's in the shower/toilet area. we lightened Behr's "Yacht Harbor" to Behr's "Coastal Mist". here's a side-by-side i built from color swatches on their website:
while prepping for the painting, we came across another project we've been putting off, problem #3: cheap, ugly light fixtures!
solution: take 'em down! this was pretty easy and made a TON of difference. we filled up the holes left by the wall anchors with drywall putty (awesome stuff) and when they were dry, they got painted too!
taking them down was really only half the solution though, because we have no idea what to put up there when the paint dries!
any suggestions?
sorry for the horrible lighting in this last shot. remember, we took down all the light fixtures in the room to paint!

So, I tried to watch the first episode of "Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.," but the acting was so bad, the jokes so flaccid and the overall vibe so off that I bailed after ten minutes. Does it get any better? Certainly, ABC is banking on comic fans to keep tuning in having already given the show a full series order, and if all goes according to plan, it's just the start of Marvel's plans for small screen domination.
Deadline reports the studio is currently shopping four drama series and a miniseries to cable and VOD outlets, with Netflix, Amazon and WGN America among those approached. What are they? Ha ha ha, nice one. Naturally, Marvel is keeping things under lock and key, with non-disclosure agreements signed and whatnot, so let the rumor mill swirl. But what we do know is that an "Agent Carter" series is in the works, and from what we hear through the grapevine, Hayley Atwell has already agreed to star.
So, we'll leave you to speculate away—what do you think these shows could be? What characters do you think are worth tuning in for week after week? Frankly, we're more curious about what that miniseries thing is, but as these things go, expect morsels of crumbs of revelations to follow until Kevin Feige and co. finally unveil what they're working on.

Re: WWE Unleash the Fury
Ok so here's the deal....
I've been working on recaps, etc. and have found myself pretty much just wanting WrestleMania done and dusted. This happened last year but I was writing full shows, etc. to try and get myself ready for my first WrestleMania. Two years later with my second I could really care less. I started WrestleMania about two months ago and want it done now. So pretty much over the next ten days I am going to post a match with a preview and breakdown, etc. of how it came to be. This will be easier and give me a bit more time to finally finish up WrestleMania as it is 3/4 done as of right now. Just three matches remain and it will be up...
So nevertheless here is the first preview...
Inter-Promotional Grudge Match
John Cena
Ever since the Royal Rumble back in January Cena has been on a mission. That mission you ask? Take out Finlay. Both Cena and Finlay were the two men who kicked off the Royal Rumble match back in January but it was Finlay who was eliminated by Cena. Hungry for revenge Finlay came back in about halfway through the match dumping Cena out of the ring and eliminating him ruining his dreams. If you asked John Cena if he thought he'd be facing Finlay at WrestleMania this year, he'd say hell no but this is personal now! Cena challenged Finlay to come to Raw a few weeks back to accept his challenge but Finlay declined. So it was Cena that instead headed to Smackdown to get the challenge accepted from Finlay. Back at No Way Out Finlay had a representative in MVP beat Cena thanks to some help from Finlay and Hornswoggle angering Cena even more. But Cena said he won't back down and he never has so far in his career. Just a few weeks ago Finlay did finally show up on Raw but it was with his good friend, the shillelagh. Finlay brutally attacked Cena until he had to be carried off onto a stretcher. But that didn't even stop the psychotic Finlay as Finlay beat Cena down with the shillelagh while he was tied to the stretcher! Finlay gave Cena an evil look as he was wheeled off. The next week on Raw Cena vouched (via satellite) that he'd be back and that he would whip some ass come WrestleMania. So now the challenge is laid down. Will Cena be able to come through and beat the holy hell out of Finlay like he has wanted to since January or will Finlay pull of a shock surprise and will it take the help of a shillelagh to do it?

Other News and Notes:
On the go home edition before WrestleMania 23 of Smackdown, (the March 30th edition) we saw the Mexicools (Psicosis and Super Crazy) capture the WWE Tag Team Championships from Deuce and Domino in a special match since the Tag Titles wouldn't be featured at WrestleMania. Super Crazy and Psicosis had already picked up single wins over Domino and Deuce respectively but earned it in a Number One Contender's match the week prior. This is the Mexicools' first taste of gold in WWE so far as a tag team.
The Golden Standards have continued their racist gimmicks saying that the only reason they had to compete against one another in the MITB Qualifying Match was because there is not enough room for three black men? (MVP is in the match as well) After Benjamin defeated his partner Burke, Burke looked dazed and confused but said he'd still be there to help Benjamin win at WrestleMania.
Just like he did last year to Mr. McMahon Eugene ran around on Raw rampant trying to book himself a match at WrestleMania. But once again Eugene was told that he'd have to settle for a spot in the Battle Royal prior to WrestleMania.
Mr. McMahon announced that after WrestleMania there would be a new Raw General Manager named since Coach is unable to fulfill his duties.
(This news is pretty much just for the on-screen things for the people that weren't going to be appearing at WrestleMania ie. The Mexicools. There might be some more added if I forgot or feel like adding more. But these will be added to the next day's preview.)
NO PREDICTIONS YET! That can be done once all of the previews are done and dusted. I'm going to throw up a contest so that is why I am wanting you to wait.

finally got a modern road bike with brifters and really enjoying them. what a pleasure not having to shift body position/weight to tangle with my down tube levers. makes being in the perfect gear at all times a reality.
but I know that these are not top of the line so what makes them inferior? as I use them are there any indications of wear to be observant for? do they have any limitations, as in "they're great so long as you don't ..."
I'm not easy on equipment of any kind and i'm used to bulletproof '70s-'80s era steel bikes.

Sono stata a budapest dal 27 / 09 al 03 / 10 per un intervento di rinoplastica. La casa era in pessime condizioni tanto che un pezzo della porta è caduto in testa a mio marito. Quando ho sottolineato al padrone di casa che se fosse caduto a me (essendo stata operata) avrei preso provvedimenti seri sono stata minacciata di denuncia all ambasciata in quanto egli stesso riteneva che a picchiarmi fosse stato mio marito (portavo infatti il gesso per l operazione. Sconsiglio quindi l appartamento anche per il comportamento altamente oltraggioso e maleducato del signor Gino.
La estancia fue excelente, un gran apartamento, con todas las comodidades, tranquilo y en un sitio céntrico muy bien comunicado. El trato genial, si volvemos a Budapest, repetiremos seguro.
Nice apartment in downtown Budapest. Very well conected and close to metro and most of must see areas.
Gino was very kind to us.
I will repeat with Gino.
Wohnung Zentral gelegen und sauber. Im Sommer nicht zu empfehlen. Da es unterm Dach über 40 Grad sind. Leider ist die Jalousie defekt und der Ventilator nicht sehr hilfreich. In der Dusche ist an der Decke alles verschimmelt. Toilettendeckel lose und Toilettenpapier wurde durch Küchenrollen ersetzt. TV ist nicht vorhanden.
Localization is very central, so you had a lot within walking distance konnte.Die apartment clean only missing in almost all the lights bulbs.
Next the blinds (defective) could not be closed, and the workers were resolved these small defects in the apartment schauen.Wenn, I can recommend this property.
Die Lage der Unterkunft ist sehr zentral ,so dass man vieles zu Fuss erreichen konnte.Die Wohnung war sauber nur fehlten in fast allen Lampen die Glühbirnen.
Weiter konnten die Jalousien (defekt)nicht geschlossen werden,und die Bauarbeiter konnten in die Wohnung schauen.Wenn diese kleinen Mängel behoben werden,kann ich diese Unterkunft empfehlen.
First of all I have not stayed in this apartment but in another in Deák Ferenc utca, always Mr. Gino, which I was reported on the evening before my departure, but it does not matter since it was not even a 500 meters from this (also if the pictures looked nicer).
The location is great, it is located in the center of Budapest, fundamental for those of us who are a few days and needs to move a lot.
Overall the apartment was habitable, to the exclusion of the lack of light bulbs (which lacked both the entrance to the bedroom / living room (there was only one lamp that worked). The kitchen we have not used.
I do not know how you can stay in this apartment in the seventh, we were 2 and I think more than 4 it is difficult to move.
Innanzi tutto non ho alloggiato in questo appartamento ma in un altro in Deák Ferenc utca, sempre del signor Gino, cosa che mi è stata riferita la sera prima della mia partenza, ma poco importa dato che si trovava a neanche 500 metri da questo (anche se dalle foto sembrava più carino).
La posizione è ottima, si trova al centro di Budapest, fondamentale per chi come noi sta pochi giorni e ha bisogno di muoversi molto.
Nel complesso l'appartamento era abitabile, fatta esclusione per la mancanza di lampadine (mancava sia all'entrata che nella stanza da letto/soggiorno (c'era solo una lampada che funzionava). La cucina non l'abbiamo utilizzata.
Non so come sia possibile soggiornare in 7 in questo appartamento, noi eravamo in 2 e secondo me in più di 4 si fa fatica a muoversi.
Great location, very central. The building is very beautiful and old fashioned and the apartment is a decent size, perfect for 2 people. Only criticism is that it was a fairly hot and stuffy apartment with the maisonette double bed not offering much space and can feel slightly hot and claustrophobic however if the weather is not too hot the room is great, particularly for the price. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful and accommodating.
The flat is absolutely lovely, great location, and Gino is such a nice and helpful person! I can only recommend it and will definitely stay there again if I ever come back to Budapest. Molte grazie, Gino! :-)

We have reached peak fall foliage in Eastern Carolina and vibrant colors are showing up all over! I can't tell you how much I love driving around town and gawking at the beautiful reds, golds, yellow, and even some peach on our leaves. Good news for us we've had a long leaf peeping season in North Carolina, all thanks to our sun-filled days and clear cool nights. We'll enjoy the fall foliage through the end of November before we are past peak.
Marvin and I enjoy showing weather photos during our evening broadcasts...We would love if you send some of the vibrant fall foliage you take a snap shot of in your hometown.
Enjoy leaf peeping...Jennifer Harcher

Confluence means a flowing together. In a literal sense, it's about rivers. But it's more often used to talk about the coming together of factors or ideas, or of cultures in a diverse city.
Con- means "with," and -fluence sounds like "flow." When things come together like rivers do, flowing from entirely different places, you call that a confluence. If the senior class needs to raise money for a class trip, and the drama club is looking for someone to do concessions during intermission at the school play, that's a confluence of factors.
Definitions of confluence
n a place where things merge or flow together (especially rivers)
"Pittsburgh is located at the confluence of the Allegheny and Monongahela rivers"
- Synonyms:
- meeting
- Type of:
geographic point, geographical point
a point on the surface of the Earth
n a flowing together
n a coming together of people
- Synonyms:
- concourse
- Type of:
coming together, meeting, merging
the act of joining together as one

100 Years Anniversary for Titanic
This year, some time in April, is a 100th Anniversary of Titanic sinking, so it the spirit of that there is a remake of great movie Titanic now in 3D technology. I did my best to find some original and thus really old pictures of how Titanic did really look like. Unfortunately there are not so many, but you will be able to picture the ship interior in your mind, based on available photos. After seeing these pictures, I said that I'd like if I could've seen it, but then again – maybe not. Anyway, enjoy from the safe distance.

Jim Harbaugh gets to work at Indiana game
In his first NFL season, former Michigan QB Jim Harbaugh turned the San Francisco 49ers from a 6-10 team into a unit that was one game away from the Super Bowl. The success shouldn't come as a surprise, considering what he accomplished at his previous stop: Stanford. So what does the reigning NFL coach of the year do when he finally has free time? Well, when your brother-in-law is Tom Crean and you're visiting Assembly Hall — which he was Wednesday — you sit in on huddles and run the players' stools on and off the floor during timeouts. Watch Harbaugh work as a team manager now.

May 25, 2016
The town once voted the Best Small Town in America is getting a brand new library.
As a matter of fact, it's the first building ever constructed to be used as a library in Gadsden County. And we're talking about the town of Havana. Weather permitting; the library should open sometime around mid June.
The cost of the library is $700,000. Money for the construction came from a state grant, a loan from the town and fund raisers done by the citizens.
And now the building is almost an opened reality.
"I think the people in this community are very excited, it's being received very well," comments City Manager Susan Freiden.
But the Havana Library isn't quite yet in the home stretch. They still have more money to raise to furnish the building. On April 17 starting at 5:30 p.m., the town of Havana will hold a fish fry to help raise some more money.

Wolf Hall (2009)
By Hilary Mantel

Features & Benefits
"Alla breve" means "cut time", which is exactly what this self-standing, portable music sound shell does during setup. This easy-to-handle music shell can be rolled into any room and quickly set up to enhance sound. In fact, only one person is required to set it up, because panels glide easily into position with a minimal 15-pound lift effort. Durable, laminated panels reflect a maximum range of audible frequencies to improve the blend and mix of sounds. Performers and audiences alike love the mix and projection of sound enhanced by the Alla Breve Music Sound Shell.
Tower with Canopy: Improve sound for both performers and audience with better blend, mix and projection. The canopy can be set at 4 different angles to reflect a maximum range of audible frequencies. Reduce maintenance with tough, impact resistant ABS plastic "skin" on rigid 7/8"-thick panels. Realize maximum durability with a strong steel frame.
Counterweighted-pulley Setup: Save setup time as top panels glide into performance position with minimal, 15-pound lift effort. Save labor as only one person (even someone of slight build) is needed to raise or lower the Shell.
Telescoping Height Adjustment: Enjoy improved sound in various rooms at any height from 8'4" to 13'4.5." Reduce labor as Shell, measuring 6' 7.5" tall in the storage position, will pass through standard doorways.
Twin Casters: Save time as shell rolls easily to and from same-level storage area (if Shell must be lifted, its 256-lb. weight is more easily managed than old-style 375+ lb. shells). Save labor as only one person is needed to roll shell (when in storage position).
Nested Storage: Save space as shells nest compactly in storage (six nested Shells occupy less that 39 square feet).
Durable, Laminated Panels reflect a maximum range of audible frequencies. Panels are a "sandwich" laminate 7/8" thick with a 3/4" honeycomb-core. Surface is a warm beige plastic.

Say "hi" for me...
May you live long, live strong, and live happy!
Just got back from my first GMR ride. It was punishing but was definitely able to find a pace and stick with it. Thanks for all the info on the forums.
I'm in the middle with the "happy to be alive" smile.
Here's a Mapmyride route for those interested.

Darn good ride if you ask me! Lots of strong riders. Some first timers on the Leaky Fountain Boyz squad. Some STRONG women on the OCRebels squad! It started out nice with the 7 am start but quickly warmed up. Hot and dry at the tough 16 mile point but everyone was kicking butt and suffered thru it. Alex did his first GMR ride, guy climbed well. Dutchboy joined the ride a little late but as expected, caught up, passed then rode off into the sunset. I missed a pic of Dutchboy and Alex. If these guys would slow down, I'd be able to get a pic! Dutchboy always the fun entertaining guy. Telling jokes, making me laugh on the way up. I can't breath! I can't breath, just leave me Dutchboy! I had to set the guy free, Even his "telling jokes pace" was killing me! Hehe! Some dude Jason from Pomona joined our group on the ride. Never met him but we are so much fun, he stuck around! Cool guy! His female friend does GMR all the time, has a blog somewhere but I've never seen it!
Leaky fountain boyz tuffed it out too! Nice job for virgins! One guy headed back early (no names!). Gina drove support carrying ice water for us. I know it did me good! She did a good job, only lost one rider, her first so we will forgive her!
Nice day with nice people and good strong riders! Oh yeah, OCCRRick too!Hahaha! Did I mention, Them OCRebel women are Strong!
Caught a glimpe of Pinoybentrider up there on his fixie (crazy dude). Hey, why didn't you join us?! Too good I see! Hehe!
Heading up!
LuAnne, LouAnne, heck I can't spell...One of the Rebel women
BF'ers Viking and LLTAN...Mmmkay, when someone takes your pic, don't drop 'em!!
OCRebels Kim and The Legendary Dan Crain. Kim has one SWEET BIKE!
Not sure if this is Viking or Lance!

Picture is a lil blurry cause he wouldn't slow down! OCRRick
Gal kept folowing me,checking me out! I felt so violated! (Gina support)
LLTAN on the descent
Bionic Man (Brokenrider) made of pins and needles, needles and rods. Bad accident 3 years ago but still kicking GMR's butt on his first attempt! Guy doesn't even have eyeballs behind them glasses. Digital readout sunglass vision, kind of like the Terminator!
Last edited by Mr. Beanz; 07-25-09 at 10:11 PM.
There was another rider heading up that said "Hey Beanz" as we were descending. I don't know who it was but he looked FAST! If I had tried to head back up, he would have been gone!
KiethOC on the descent
He looked so happy up there, I had to post 2!
LLTAN and Brokenrider
Leaky Boy Victor and ummm I don't know who's in back!
Nice job up GMR Always love to see your reports Beanz, makes me want to get out there and ride!
Also, are those Conejo Valley Cyclists jerseys I see? I'd like to find some people in the conejo to ride with, wondering if all the above mensioned and CVC-jerseyed riders are from the OC or if any made the trek from the Conejo.
Great Ride Thanks for all the pic's and a Big Thanks to Gina for all the SAG support. Hope to do it again sometime.
Hey Mr. Beanz,
Thanks for your help in bringing this group together. I needed to get back out to tackle the hills and this ride did the trick. Gina's support also made the ride much more enjoyable. It also looked like Gina's trip up and down GMR/GRR today provided some valuable training for her upcoming century.
I'm glad we got to chit-chat along GRR to make the miles fly by. It was also nice to meet some of the other BF folks.
Thanks again,
And Rebel Rick!
IT sucks that I didn't get your pic. But trying to hold my heart inplace while riding with you kept my camera hand busy!...Missed the pic, Hate when I do that!
Nice! Looks like a lot of camelbacks were brought along. We're they really necessary? 2 bottles won't do it until refilling at the village? Or that spring? I want to do that ride sometime soon, but only have 2 bottle capacity. I spose I could carry an extra sport drink bottle in my jersey pocket.
I've seen overheated riders sitting at that same point asking if I have extra water as I ride by.
A few riders had 2 bottles but did refill at the shack when Gina showed up with the ice chest. So yeah, you CAN do it with 2 bottles but expect to run near empty in the heat. I've done it with 1 1/2 during cool season, but GMR gets real hot and dry at the 16'ish mile point.
I usually do the descent with 1/2 a bottle. In today's heat, I use atleast 1 1/2 on the descent! The others also refilled on the descent.
BTW, besides the CB's, and all the bottles, Gina carried 6 extra gallons of water and returned home with ONE!

Hi guys it was a great ride on a hot day Beanz I know you missed my pic today but you take many of my pic before, today I thought I make it up to you so tried to take some pic but it did not look as good as yours. as you know I can't remember names but on the way up I talk to some of the guys, very nice folks, really enjoied the ride I'll do it again thanks for organizing it for all of us & my special thanks to Gina for the suport & the ice cold water Gina the cool water felt great many thanks to you see you all next week
The lady riding with me is Lauretta - a regular Rebel Rider. And the guy with Kim is the legendary Dan Crain.

I guess you all arrived as I left the ranger station. I was wondering if it was the BF group but was heading out already.
It was a good day. We started early and caught shade on many switchbacks so that helped.
As for the water situation, I naturally sweat buckets and it surely poured off me today. I had a small camelback which is equal to 1.5 large waterbottles and I went 3/4 through it, AND a reg size bottle of diluted orange juice. I felt good and feel that I hydrated well. Sometimes I forget.
For me, the more water the better. If I went all the way to the top on a hot day I'd bring two large bottles and a camelback. More weight but bonking sucks.
My blog about rides, bikes and builds: ridesgoneby.blogspot.com
It was nice to meet up with you guys. Please keep me posted on your rides.

I missed a great ride with you, but I was pressed for time. I turned around a cow canyon saddle. Thanks for the offer of cold drinks, Gina. Hope to see you on SART tomorrow, but I will be out early again. Ron

Huntington Beach, CA
& Iron Horse Maverick 5.5
I rode from Encanto up GMR, down to the cafe on East Fork, then turned around and climbed up and over again. It was HOT! I drank 2 1/2 bottles on the way up just GMR from Glendora today - normal for me is 1 bottle to 1 1/2.
I was surprised by all the cars on East Fork - HUNDREDS of them parked everywhere. A guy at the cafe said that's normal for a Sunday afternoon in the summer; everyone likes to go swimming in the creek.
Awesome pictures Mr. Beanz! Bummer I missed a nice ride. Hope you'll do it again soon so I can join you. And I'll tell Gina not to babysit you next time.
Old people are keen to give good advice because of their inability to give bad example.

Benefits of traffic data sharing with app developers
Timothy Compston finds out if exchanging traffic and road condition data with private app developers makes sense for both drivers and road authorities. Much has been said about the potential benefits for authorities in sharing data with traffic and navigation app developers, and receiving 'crowdsourced' information in return so how is it working in practice?

Nearly entire class caught cheating on final exam at Anderson High School in Southgate
TAKE OUR POLL: Did you ever cheat in school?
SOUTHGATE, Mich. (WXYZ) - A number of students at Anderson high School in Southgate could face disciplinary action after nearly the entire class was caught cheating on a final exam.
A couple of students reportedly took photos of the exam answers from an answer key while the teacher was not in the classroom.
According to school officials, the students shared the answers with the other students.
The teacher notified administration after nearly the entire class had 100% on the exam.
The entire class had to retake the final exam during summer break. Administrators are still determining what type of punishment the students will face.
The superintendent would not say which class cheated, but did say approximately 30 students were taking a required exam for 11th graders.

Macy's moves RFID beyond the supply chain
Radio frequency identification, or RFID, was once seen as the future of supply chain efficiency, but these days it seems RFID's real value may be found in the storefront and not in the back room.
"When we look back, it almost seems silly that we started it as a supply chain tool," said Bill Hardgrave, the new dean of Auburn University's College of Business who once led research for Walmart and other retailers foray into RFID some 10 years ago.
Many retailers' distribution operations were already plenty efficient, he told Fortune in a recent article.
In 2009, Macy's saw the value in using the technology at retail locations, which resembles a barcode but works wirelessly and with more metadata. And with the rise of mobile devices and mobile commerce, RFID is more important to the store than ever.
"Knowing its customers will stand inside a Macy's store and comparison shop, the company is making sure that what its website says is in the store is actually in the store," says Fortune.
This month the company will begin asking more retailers to ship items pre-tagged with RFID with the goal of having half of all Macy's replenishment vendors sending RFID-tagged merchandise by the end of the summer.

We had to move our Zimbra install directory today and discovered that there were a massive amount of log files in the openldap-data directory. In total they were 7GB and all dated from the last update onwards. For some periods there wer 10MB logfiles generated every minute.
Now normally ldap should delete old logfiles or is there a specific reason against it?
If not then adding
to DB_CONFIG (probably) in $zimbra/openldap/etc/openldap should take care of the problem.Code:set_flags DB_LOG_AUTOREMOVE
The probably generated DB_CONFIG file in $zimbra/openldap-data is empty here.

GREENSBORO, North Carolina, October 5. THE NC State swimming & diving team opened the season on Friday with an impressive showing at the All-North Carolina Invitational, hosted by the Wolfpack at the Greensboro Aquatic Center. At the conclusion of day one, the men's and women's teams lead their respective divisions by considerable margins.
"We had a solid first day," said head coach Braden Holloway. "The team came out with alot of passion and energy, so its important to channel all that energy and excitement in the right way."
The Wofpack women's team started the day's action in the 200 freestyle relay, with two of the Pack's relay teams finishing first and second. Junior Zina Grogg, sophomore Lauren Poli, along with freshmen Riki Bonnema and Mariah Hamil claimed the top spot in the event with a time of 1:34.11. The men's team registered second and third place finishes in the event. The relay team composed of senior Joe Martin, junior Matt Thomas, sophomore David Williams, and freshman Simonas Bilis posted a time of 1:22.36, just hundredths of a second shy of the top time.
Freshman Kristin Connors cruised in her heat of the 500 freestyle with a time of 4:59.49, which was the second fastest time in the event. On the men's side, another freshman posted the top time for the Pack as Louis Wojciechowski finished with a time of 4:35.42 claiming second place.
"I think they wanted to prove themselves to the team and to the staff," Holloway said of the performances by the freshmen. "They've been training really hard and a lot of the things we are doing are new to them, but I think they are excited to get their first college meet under their belt."
Nicole Giamber, a freshman from Cary, N.C., made her debut in the water in grand style swimming the fastest time (2:08.61) in the 200 individual medley. Senior Taylor Harris swam a time of 1:54.78, which was good for third place.
Grogg, senior Allison Hendren, and Poli finished second, third, and fourth, respectively in the 50 freestyle to highlight the Pack's performance in the event. The Wolfpack swimmers finished two hundreths of a second apart with Grogg at 24.04, Hendren 24.06, and Poli 24.08. Martin and sophomore Gerard Woody represented the top times for the Pack on the men's side at 20.78 and 21.04, respectively.
The last event of the evening for the Pack was the 400 medley relay. Senior Ivan Kopas, juniors Jonathan Boffa and Jake Matysek, teamed up with freshman Christian McCurdy to claim the title in the event with a blazing quick time of 3:21.01, a full two seconds ahead of the next closest relay team. On the women's side, senior Julianna Prim, along with sophomores Hannah Freyman, Poli, and Siri Smits finished second at 3:51.38.
The action will resume on Saturday, Oct. 6 at 10 a.m.

RGIII Injures Knee in Crushing Loss to Denver
Peyton Manning threw four touchdowns and piled up more than 350 passing yards as the Denver Broncos routed the Washington Redskins, 45-21, on Oct. 27 in Denver.
The Broncos trailed the Redskins 21-7 in the third quarter before finding their offensive rhythm and scoring 38 unanswered points, 31 of them in the fourth quarter.
The Redskins' defense challenged Manning, especially early in the game. Manning had just one touchdown pass through the first two quarters, a rare occurrence for the league's leader in touchdown passes. Washington's defense also forced several turnovers by Manning, who tossed three interceptions and fumbled in the third quarter. But Denver's top-ranked offense eventually settled in and racked up four touchdowns in the second half. Cornerback Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie scored Denver's fifth touchdown of the half with an interception returned for a touchdown in the final minutes of the game.
As Denver lit up the scoreboard, Washington struggled on offense. Redskins quarterback Robert Griffin III threw two interceptions and lost a fumble before being knocked out of the game midway through the fourth quarter. Griffin appeared to injure his left knee, the same knee he injured during his sophomore season at Baylor University but not the one that was surgically repaired earlier this year.
Backup quarterback Kirk Cousins stepped in for the injured Griffin and tossed two more interceptions, completing five of nine for 48 yards. Griffin completed 15 of 30 passes for 132 yards, one touchdown and a 45.4 passer rating. Manning completed 30 of 44 passes for 354 yards, four touchdowns and three picks; his passer rating was 94.3.
'Skins running back Alfred Morris had a strong performance, rushing for 93 yards on 17 carries. But he didn't get many carries in the fourth quarter as Washington put the ball in the hands of RGIII.
Linebacker Perry Riley led Washington with 11 tackles while cornerback DeAngelo Hall snagged two interceptions, including one he returned 26 yards for a defensive touchdown.
Washington fell to a 2-5 overall record, while Denver advanced to 7-1. The Redskins will face the San Diego Chargers on Nov. 3 at FedEx Field in Landover, Md.

The Gujarat Government Wednesday announced four projects aimed at providing affordable housing to urban poor and lower middle income population under the Mukhyamantri Awas Sumrudhi Yojana (MMASY), the biggest poll promise made by the BJP ahead of 2012 Assembly elections.
Under MMASY, the government had promised to construct 22 lakh houses in urban areas within five years.
The three projects include housing for the EWS (Economically Weaker Section), a project for lower income group and subsidy for the EWS and the lower income group. Also, a slum rehabilitation policy has been announced.
Slum rehabilitation and eWS housing
Slums will be rehabilitated at sites owned by local bodies, while development will be done on a public private partnership basis. In its first phase, four lakh units will be constructed with a unit size of 25 to 30 square meter with 2 bedrooms, kitchen and hall each. The re-developed sites will have all basic amenities. These units will be available free of cost for slum dwellers, while the EWS (Economically Weaker Section) with annual income of less than Rs 1 lakh will qualify for the same.
The survey for the project will be based on UID (Unique Identification), ration card or election card. The EWS will get financial aid of Rs 1 lakh by the government, while the beneficiary will have to pay the remaining amount or Rs 3 lakh, whichever is less.
Project for lower income group With a budget allocation
of Rs 400 crore, around 40,000 beneficiaries, with an annual income of Rs 1 to 2.5 lakh, are expected to be covered.
Units of 50 square meter each will cost around Rs 7.5 to 11 lakh. Beneficiaries will get financial aid of Rs 1 lakh. The UID has been mandatory for this project.
Interest subsidy for EWS and LIG Under this project, beneficiaries will get interest subsidy up to Rs 1 lakh from the
government in schemes by private builders. The government aims to cover 10,000 beneficiaries this year with a budget allocation of Rs 15 crore. For EWS, minimum down payment will be Rs 50,000 and the cost will be around Rs 5 lakh, while down payment for LIG (Lower Income Group) will be Rs 1 lakh with a cost of Rs 12.5 lakh.
Slum Rehabilitation on ppp basis Four lakh units will be constructed on existing slums by involving private builders, who can later use the extra land for their use. The stamp duty registration

THE CAPITAL, TALLAHASSEE, June 28, 2012
Jim Saunders, The News Service of Florida
With a prison-privatization plan all but dead, an appeals court Wednesday appeared hesitant to decide a constitutional fight about whether lawmakers improperly used the state budget to approve the plan.
Jonathan Glogau, representing Attorney General Pam Bondi, acknowledged to the 1st District Court of Appeal that there is virtually no chance that the state will go ahead with the plan to contract with private companies to run prisons across the southern part of the state. That is because lawmakers included the plan in budget fine print, known as proviso language, that expires at the June 30 end of the fiscal year.
A Leon County circuit judge ruled last year that lawmakers violated the state Constitution in using proviso language to approve the plan, prompting an appeal by Bondi.
Appeals court Chief Judge Robert Benton and Judge Nikki Ann Clark questioned Glogau about whether the demise of the plan meant that the state was asking for what would amount to an advisory opinion about the Legislature's actions. Clark said any opinion the court issued on the privatization plan would be "for naught."
Glogau said the "current dispute disappears on July 1 --- there's no question about that." But he said it is important for the court to take up the constitutional issues involved in the case.
"This is an important issue of legislative authority,'' he told the three-judge panel. "We believe it is certainly repeatable."
M. Stephen Turner, an attorney for the Florida Police Benevolent Association, which challenged the privatization plan, blasted the Legislature's decision to put prison privatization in the budget fine print instead of passing it in state law.
"This is a gross abuse of the proviso,'' Turner said.
In addition to the debate about whether the lawsuit is moot, judges also peppered Glogau with questions about whether the appeal is procedurally valid. Those questions centered on a move by Bondi to become a party in the case, after the state Department of Corrections decided against appealing the ruling last year by Circuit Judge Jackie Fulford. A Bondi spokeswoman said at the time that the attorney general was moving forward with the appeal at the request of the Legislature.
Bondi's office did not seek approval from the circuit court to formally intervene in the case before filing a notice of appeal. Glogau said that stemmed from a lack of time, as the department decided only two days before a filing deadline that it would not appeal.
Glogau also said Bondi has broad power to become involved in cases that are in the "public interest." But judges questioned whether she was entitled to file the appeal without first seeking approval from the circuit court.
"You didn't try,'' Judge Ronald Swanson said to Glogau. "You acknowledge that."
The judges did not indicate when they will rule in the case.
The dispute centers on the Legislature's plan to privatize 29 prison facilities across the southern half of the state, a move that backers said would save the state money. But with privatization a hot-button issue in state government --- and, particularly, for prison workers --- the PBA filed the lawsuit challenging the way lawmakers went about it.
Another attempt this year to pass a privatization plan died in the Legislature, amid heavy lobbying. That plan would have put the privatization in state law, instead of in proviso language.
The appeals court heard arguments Wednesday, as another Leon County circuit judge considers a separate case dealing with privatization of prison health services statewide. Lawmakers also approved the health changes in proviso language --- raising similar questions about whether the issues become moot with the upcoming end of the fiscal year.
THE CAPITAL, TALLAHASSEE, June 27, 2012
Jim Saunders, The News Service of Florida
With the end of the fiscal year looming and no final action by lawmakers, a circuit judge on Tuesday grappled with how to deal with budget fine print that called for privatizing prison health services.
The Florida Nurses Association and a state employees union filed a lawsuit this year challenging the constitutionality of the Legislature's decision to use the fine print, known as proviso language, to direct the Department of Corrections to contract with private health companies. But a legislative budget panel also was supposed to give final approval before contracts could be awarded --- something it has not done as the proviso language gets ready to expire at the June 30 end of the fiscal year.
That left Leon County Circuit Judge Kevin Carroll, who held a hearing last month on the constitutional issues, pondering Tuesday how he should handle the case.
Jonathan Glogau, an attorney for the state, said the budget fine print becomes moot, meaning "this case goes away." He said state law gives the Department of Corrections other authority to move forward with privatization of prison health services, anyway, with the panel known as the Legislative Budget Commission ultimately having to sign off.
If that occurred, Glogau said opponents could then launch another legal fight.
"Until then, there's nothing to challenge,'' Glogau said.
But M. Stephen Turner, an attorney for the nurses association, said the department should have to go through a new contracting process if it decides to try to privatize health services --- and should not be allowed to use the expiring proviso language as a basis for contracts.
"The agency's got to go back to the drawing board and start again,'' Turner said.
Carroll did not issue a ruling Tuesday and said he will work on the case for the next couple of days. The overall constitutional issues center on whether the Legislature improperly used proviso language, instead of changing state law with a stand-alone bill, to direct the department to carry out privatization.
The hearing also came a day before the 1st District Court of Appeal is scheduled to hear arguments in a broader prison-privatization case. Another Leon County circuit judge rejected privatizing prisons across the southern part of the state because of the Legislature's use of proviso language to do that as well.
The health-care proviso called for privatization to lead to cost savings of at least 7 percent for the state, compared to 2009-10 expenses. The process led to the department recommending that Corizon, Inc., receive a contract for prisons in North and Central Florida and that Wexford Health Sources receive a contract in South Florida.
Glogau on Tuesday reiterated earlier arguments that the department already has the authority to privatize health services, regardless of the proviso. He said after the hearing that the department has not decided whether it would use that authority to move forward with privatization.
But Tom Brooks, an attorney for the employees union, the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees, said the state had played "fast and loose" to try to prevent a ruling on the broader issues in the case --- an argument that Glogau disputed.
"We are not playing fast and loose with the rules, and we are not denying anybody their day in court or due process,'' Glogau said.
