Thursday, November 22, 2007
New York (ANI): Talk show host Oprah Winfrey brought the Christmas cheers a bit early by bestowing extravagant gifts to studio audiences on her annual show "Oprah's Favorite Things". Oprah Winfrey's "Favorite Things," is one of her most popular annual features because audience members get showered with gifts worth thousands of dollars.
At this years" show, which took place in Macon, Ga, the talk show queen lavished more than 7,000 dollars worth of gifts on each of the 300 people who wrote in and got tickets to the show, thinking the topic was going to be American hometowns. Members of the audience broke down into tears with shock after Winfrey, revealed the surprise that she had arrived to present them with her "favorite" holiday gifts, reports the New York Post.
Among the 2.1 million dollars items were Ciao Bella Blood Orange Sorbetto, which retails for 4.99 dollars a pint, as well as an HDTV-refrigerator that features a weather and information center and goes for about 4,000 dollars.
Other items to make Winfrey's "favorite things" list were: the Breville Ikon Panini Press from Williams-Sonoma (99.95 dollars); The Discovery Channel's "Planet Earth" DVD set (79.95 dollars); Josh Groban's "Noel" CD (18.98 dollars); the SAMSUNG progressive HD Camcorder (799.99 dollars); UGG Australia Classic Crochet tall boot (120 dollars).
The gifts also included: the Artisan Stand Mixer from KitchenAid (349.99 dollars); Rachel Pally Swing Turtleneck (141 dollars) and Sailor Pants (194 dollars); Scrabble Premier Edition from Hasbro (299 dollars); and the United Artists 90th Anniversary Prestige Collection (869.98 dollars).
The basket included copies of a lifestyle book being published by O magazine, her new Oprah Book Club selection and a DVD set of Discovery Channel's "Planet Earth" series, which she devoted a show to earlier this year.
Winfrey told the audience she chose Macon for her annual gifts show because the city has the most Oprah watchers in the nation, percentage-wise.

**all items purchased by me
I thought today I'd tackle about 3 posts in one. How about that? I've got display pictures and bottle shots of 2 different collections, plus the nail look I came up with using the 2 polishes that I bought - maybe this is 4 posts in one since I don't think I ever showed either of these in a haul.
I believe that the L'Oreal polish may still be available, but the display might be in a different configuration - likely with coordinating lipsticks - so let's get started with that. It's the 6 polish Collection Privee - "Signature Nudes Inspired by Women of Worth." I did take some quick label and bottle shots in the store.
Now let's see the polish that I got from the collection. This is 2 coats of Eva's Nude over a base of Orly Bonder, no top coat.
I like that this nude has a slight pinkish-gold shimmer mixed in to keep it from looking so flat on the nail, but the shimmer is very shy. I think this is a pretty good shade of nude for my skin tone. I have to say that I really enjoy L'Oreal's brushes since they apply polish so well and make it super easy on my nails to get a clean line around the cuticle. I feel like this photographed a bit more yellow-toned than it looks like in real life.
The top label and bottle shots are from the all-polish display (except for the glitter which will appear later); the bottom 2 polishes are from the display that also contains makeup.
And now for how Maybelline's Bronze Beam looks over top of Eva's Nude. This is just one coat with hardly any dabbing necessary, no top coat.
Maybelline's Bronze Beam has 2 different sizes of bronze glitters in a clear base. The slightly stiff brush didn't spread out much, but it didn't give me a problem in getting a smooth, even application of the glitters. It dried pretty quickly to a smooth finish.
I got a few compliments on this nail combo. I think it's a nice neutral look without being too boring. I'm sad that it's time to change polish already, but chores took a toll on this look.
Did you pick up anything from either the L'Oreal Collection Privee or Maybelline Dare To Go Nude collections? What's your favorite nude polish? When you wear nude, do you keep it plain or jazz it up with glitter?

Romans 8: 31, 35-39
What then are we to say about these things? If God is for us, who is against us?
Who will separate us from the love of Christ? Will hardship, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?
No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor rulers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Along with a person's age are developing ailments, that's why it's very unlikely for medical establishments not to have patients. That's why there is a need for extra set of hands out there in the field, helping save people's lives. These extra hands have a name, and they're called CNAs.
Your future job in being a CNA depends on how good your training is. Commonly, tuition fee that comes with this can be minimal at $400 (Garland) and can go up to $1000 (Garland). There is however very good news; there are actually free CNA training programs out there for many who want to go easy on the cost.
Nursing homes and hospitals are usual facilities which offer free training; with the objective of having more staff to carry out day to day tasks. Students are of great help in sustaining the operations of medical centers and nursing homes, that's why they continue to be offered with free CNA classes. It is a usual practice for medical centers and nursing facilities to require graduates to work for them for free. One of the most reliable scholarships and grants are offered by the federal government of Garland in Texas.
The state government also sees to it that a part of their funds is offered to the CNA Scholarship Program. Through it, you don't need to keep worrying about paying your tuition anymore. And definitely, who will ever leave behind the power of the internet? It feels so good to indulge in something free yet vital, with all the conveniences home has to offer. Free CNA training on the internet will help you get a career, and it starts at this time.Author: Paula Shelton

Salsbury Motor Glide History
In the midst of the Great Depression in 1935,
E. Foster Salsbury decided America needed a
good but inexpensive mode of transportation.
He introduced the Salsbury Motor Glide in 1936.
This two-wheeler weighed 65 pounds and came fully
equipped with lights, horn, and collapsible handlebars.
The 1948 model when introduced, was called the
"Motor Scooter of the Future." It was a radical design,
the wheels were practically hidden and it had the ease of
a self shifting transmission. The influence of the Salsbury
on all other scooters that followed was an enormous one.
Salsbury dictated the design of the modern Motor Scooter
with their very first product in 1936.
1935 Evinrude

Frank Medeiros,
My brother's scooter. His name is Patrick R. Brewer. It is a 1937 Salsbury that was purchased new in Inglewood California. The picture was taken in front of our garage at 4263 West 61st Street, Los Angeles, California. The picture you have of my Jeepette was taken just to the right of Pat's picture. Both scooters license plates are on the wall in my den. My brother is a retired Marine and lives in Oceanside.

Scotbeef changes for export
SCOTBEEF has been forced to make a number of changes to its operations to get to grips with the Date Based Export Scheme to export to Holland and Italy.
The Herald reports on the bureaucracy involved in complying with the regulations in an interview with the companys chairman Ian Galloway.
He says Scotbeef is yet to make a profit from the export operation.
Scotbeef supplies some of the biggest names in food retailing – Marks & Spencer, Sainsbury, the Co-op and the McDonalds burger chain.

GM still has no switch fix for half-million Cadillacs, according to USA Today.
Three weeks after a recall and telling dealers not to sell them, General Motors continues to look for a way to fix an ignition switch risk in half a million Cadillacs.
"We're still working on it," GM spokesman Alan Adler said Monday, noting that it's unclear how long it will take to find a solution.
The ignition switches in 554,328 Cadillacs from the 2004-2014 model years can move out of the "run" position for two reasons: Heavy key rings can pull the switch out of "run" if the car is jarred by severe bumps; and the driver's knee can bump the key and knock the switch out of position.
"We're working on a solution that will work on all," Adler says.

As a Christian, I basically believe in three core principles. First, I am imperfect and have committed moral wrong in my life. Second, God loved me so much that He died for me so I don't have to pay for my moral wrong with permanent death. And finally, God was resurrected so I can live with Him forever.
I don't think belief and science contradict one another, nor do I think my faith hinders my sense of rationality. Rather, having this belief has given me a great sense of purpose, and as a Christian I want nothing more than to reflect the love God has shown me to others.

The University of Hawai'i women's volleyball team showed its moxie as it battled back to defeat Kansas in five sets in its third and final spring match of the year, 25-20, 20-25, 20-25, 27-25, 15-11. McKenna Granato recorded a double-double with a match-high 17 kills and 12 digs while Emily Maglio added another double-double with 14 kills and a match-high 10 blocks on Tuesday night at the Stan Sheriff Center.
Granato also added two blocks and a service ace in the match. She hit .170 with nine errors in 47 attacks. Maglio took 38 swings with six errors for a .211 hitting percentage. Both Granato and Maglio were tied with a match-high 19.0 points (kills + blocks + aces).
Casey Castillo also had a strong game, finishing just one block shy of her own double-double with 12 digs and nine blocks to go with five kills. On defense, Savanah Kahakai recorded a match-high 21 digs while on offense Norene Iosia dished out 38 assists with a match-high three service aces. Iosia added eight digs and five blocks—including one solo.
The first set was a close one with 15 ties and neither team taking more than a three point lead until the 'Bows with Castillo at the service line went on a late 4-0 run to take a 23-20 lead. Kansas then had a serving error and an attack error to give Hawai'i the first set 25-20.
In the second set, Kansas jumped out to a 7-1 lead and later extended it to 15-5. Hawai'i tried to rally back and cut their deficit to four, but was unable to catch the Jayhawks as they took the second set, 25-20. Similarly in the third set, KU scored in bunches early to take an early 12-5 lead. The Rainbow Wahine kept trying to chip away, and closed to within three points down, 15-12. But that would be as close as the 'Bows would get as Kansas pulled away down the stretch for the 25-20 win in the third set.
Hawai'i fought back and showed their grit in the fourth set. The set was close early with six ties to start the frame. But then UH built as big as a three point lead at 16-13. But Jayhawks would close the gap quickly, scoring four out of the next five points to knot the score at 17-17. The score would be tied seven more times down the stretch and Kansas actually served for match point at 25-24, but a Jayhawk service error kept UH in the match tied at 25-25. The 'Bows Granato then terminated a rally to take a 26-25 lead and the next KU attack sailed long which gave UH a 27-25 win to tie the match at two sets apiece.
The Rainbow Wahine trailed early in set five, but UH turned the tide by starting their own block party, recording five blocks fifth set alone. The 'Bows went on a 7-to-1 run which gave them a 14-8 lead and six set points. Kansas rallied to close to within three at 14-11, but Maglio put down the final kill of the night to lift Hawai'i to the thrilling, five set win.
Hawai'i out-blocked the Jayhawks, 19.0-to-12.0 and edged out KU in hitting, .102-to-.096.
Kansas, the defending Big 12 champions, was led by Kelsie Payne who tallied 16 kills, seven digs and four blocks and Madison Rigdon who recorded a double-double with 13 kills and 12 digs plus a service ace.
The match against Kansas wrapped up Hawai'i's spring matches for the year. The Rainbow Wahine defeated Team Osaka in five sets and fell to Minnesota in straight sets last week.

For any readers who find airport security an occasionally tiresome necessity, try the 25 minute trip to Colonsay from Oban Airport. Check in 30 minutes before take off is standard, but since this consists only of telling the pilot you're here so that he can tick your name on the passenger list, checking in is over before you know it. One passenger was late so the pilot just waited a few minutes, hoping she'd turn up, as she subsequently did! My golf bag, complete with a change of clothes, camera, book and toilet bag was just over the 10kgs limit but since some of the 6 other passengers were under their limit, I was OK - Ryanair etc. please note! The BN Islander 2 plane is cosy at best and although Oban was cold and overcast, the weather was warm and sunny when we landed on Colonsay. The airstrip is right in the middle of the golf course, so your only problem will be finding the 1st tee - the highest point on the course and a good 15 minute walk uphill to the Honesty Box, as shown here. You might want to rest a while here and take in the outstanding scenery. If you're travelling to and from Colonsay by plane on a day trip, you'll have around 7 hours in which to play the course so there's no rush. Indeed, chances are you'll be a handful of people on the course that day! If, like me, you're staying on Colonsay overnight, you'll have all day, so relax, take your time and enjoy. The only serious problem I had was that the weight limit on the plane meant I could only carry a small bottle of water. (Tip - take a large empty plastic bottle with you when you fly in and ask the friendly groundstaff to fill it from their tap in the small airstrip building!) You'll certainly need some water and food on the course, since it's a long walk - and the island's only hotel is the thick end of an hour's walk away along a twisting single track road.
I've taken the liberty of quoting the following extracts from www.colonsay.org, the island's community-based website, which provides extensive background information on the course
"The 18-hole course is situated on indigenous machair, shortish grass growing in sandy soil, typical of the finest Scottish links golf courses. When you arrive at the first tee, you will be struck by the beauty of the course's setting. Two beautiful, sandy Hebridean bays form the western fringe of the course: the first is called Traigh an Tobair Fhuair ("Bay of the Cold Well"). The second is called Port Lobh (which, unfortunately, means "Malodorous Bay"). Two burns traverse the course from east to west. From many points on the course, you can glimpse the sands of Ardskenish peninsular to the southwest. The course is fringed to the northeast by the rugged, craggy Beinn nan Caorach ("Hill of the Sheep"). 20 miles out in the Atlantic Ocean (next stop, Canada), in most weathers, you can spot Dubh Hearteach lighthouse. The panorama is completed by Dun Ghallain, a cairned headland where a mediaeval fort once stood.
To help you to visualise the course, think about the Masters course at Augusta, where every blade of grass appears to be meticulously manicured; then, picture the polar opposite! Colonsay's unique course is completely natural, having been designed by the Supreme Architect of Golf. The greens are mown and rolled during the season by local golfers, with some help from the sheep and some hindrance from the rabbits. In the winter, they are joined by the cattle of nearby Machrins Farm. As a consequence, you may have the unusual task of having to clear some livestock from your line of fire before playing your shot. Fear not, though: local rules allow preferred lies on all fairways and a free drop for balls disappearing into rabbit-holes or taken by the ravens. More good news: there are no bunkers! In keeping with the "primeval golf" theme, however, you will come across the occasional sheep-scrape in the sandy ground, which some believe to be the origin of the modern bunker. At all times, if irked by the ruggedness of the course, you can find comfort in remembering that you'll not find a lower green-fee anywhere. You could also ponder the following verse, seen on a plaque on a memorial bench at Glencruitten Golf Course, in Oban:
"Getting somewhat crabbit?
Scoring over par?
Have a look around you:
See how lucky you are!"
Colonsay Golf Course is reputedly over 200 years old, having first been played on in 1775. It remained unchanged for nearly two centuries. In the late 19th Century, the Misses McNeill, who ran the Hotel at the time, used to arrange for the greens to be mown and the tees maintained. In 1909, local author Murdoch McNeill, wrote that Machrins was the best-known locality on the island: "that stretch of undulating machair that holds such a fascination for the golfer". After the First World War, the holes were named by David Todd and fellow-visitors, collectively known as The Colonsay Thiefs, who sound like they might be suitable candidates for the Draught Export Golfing Society (DREGS). Machrins Farm, at that time the thatched home of Mrs McPhee, was used as the clubhouse. The course was mapped by JS Williamson, of Troon, in 1935. Having been home to a small military base during the Second World War, the course wasn't re-opened until 1978. The airstrip, formerly an integral part of the course, was tarmacked in 2006, necessitating some modifications to the course layout.
The only time the course is really full is on the third Saturday in August, the date of The Colonsay Open (possibly) International All-Comers Golf Championship. Weather-permitting, this is always a memorable day. Informality is the order of the day: some wear wellies, others carry rapidly-emptying hip-flasks. The "Nearest the Hole" competition often becomes the "Nearest the Green" Competition. As in all Colonsay golf, judges play alongside mechanics, ministers play alongside builders, women play alongside men and the young play alongside the less so. At the ceilidh in the evening, there are prizes for pretty much everything but Pitchmark Repair of the Day.
The course measures 4,752 Yards and comprises four par 5s, eight par 4s and six par 3s. Yardage-wise, the four par 5s, measuring between 341 and 391 yards, should be par 4s; however, they have been accorded par 5 status by dint of the degree of difficulty involved. The 7th hole, The Fank, demands that you avoid the out-of-bounds airstrip, a large area of potentially fatal rough, a ball-eating burn, a fank (sheepfold) and a tight out-of-bounds fence at the back of the green. The 14th, ominously named The Rushes, involves negotiating a large area of heavy rough that is every bit as ball-hungry as the burn. The 16th, is birdie-able but the last of the par 5s, the 18th has caused many an eleventh-hour scoring collapse.
The par 4s measure between 238 and 317 yards; on the whole, they demand a good drive, followed by anything from a 5-iron to a wedge (depending on the wind) into smallish greens. The first five par 4s are fairly hazard-free, as long as you can keep your ball out of the burn at the third. The 8th hole, Ardskenish, is nearly driveable, on dry ground and with favourable wind conditions. The next Par 4, the 11th, is called Sand Dunes and it is the eponymous topographical feature, on the left, which presents the main hazard, along with the airstrip on the right. The last of the par 4s, the 12th, is seen by many as the finest hole on the course: your drive will seek to avoid the rushes and rocks on the left, and the numerous rabbit-holes on your right; having safely negotiated these, you are faced with an approach shot to an elevated green, beyond which the Atlantic Ocean stretches to the horizon.
Your heart may have lifted on hearing that there are as many as 6 par 3s. However, beware: only in one case (the 16th, at 120 Yards) is the green easily hittable. Indeed, a hole-in-one has been recorded here: Colin Titterton, the late husband of islander Netta, aced it on 5th October 1986, thus earning a glittering prize from the Johnny Walker International Hole-In-One Awards.
On the other hand, the 199 Yard 5th hole can demand anything from a driver to a 6 iron, depending on wind conditions. The 9th and 10th holes again feature the burn as a hazard. The 13th a136 Yard Par 3 often involves crosswinds and it takes a fine tee-shot to get on in one. The 160-Yard 15th, also often involves crosswinds and the green is not easy to hit.
To play a round of golf at The Old Course in St Andrews or at The Honourable Company of Edinburgh Golfers' course at Muirfield will cost you £130 and £190, respectively. The green fees at a typical course in Scotland are between £20 and £50 per round. At Colonsay Golf Club, you will have to part with £25, but it's important to point out that this sum will be your annual joining fee! Day tickets are priced at £5. You can pay either at the Hotel or in the General Store, where you'll be issued with a tag to display on your bag (and to brag about back at your home club). You can also pay at the Honesty Box at the first tee. You can neatly foreshorten your round by playing holes 1-6, then the 15th to the 18th."
As with many of the other island courses that we've played on our travels, the Colonsay course is pretty rough in parts and far removed from the manicured conditions to be found on courses maintained more intensively, where sheep and cattle don't feature on the list of local wildlife. The greens are small and hugely difficult to putt on, due largely to the rough nature of the ground, the occasional hoofprints and liberal quantities of sheep droppings and other natural hazards. This is golf in the raw and scoring on this course will always be difficult, even in the kind of calm sunny conditions that I enjoyed when I played here on 3 June 2014 (Happy Birthday, Kirsty!!) However, if you can watch where you're putting your feet, don't mind sharing the course with livestock from the local farm, and just want a fun round, this is a great course. The layout is tremendous, making excellent use of the topography. There are outstanding views all around the course and the course map on the scorecard is pretty accurate. This is important, since in windy conditions the flags are likely to be blown out of the holes - and when I played it, the 12th flag had been blown away by an overnight storm. This is a view of the 2nd green. The 3rd tee lies at the top of the mound behind the green, a simply outstanding viewpoint across the course and out to sea - you'll want to linger a while there, I guarantee it.
The 7th was, for me, the most difficult hole on the course. It's only 391 Yards but even if you hit a great drive, you'll still have to face this hole's greatest challenge, namely the swamp and stream in front of the green, hidden from view by a fold in the ground level, as shown here. If you under-club, you'll be re-loading (which is why I took a double bogey 7!) and if you over-club, chances are you'll be OOB. A par on this beast of a hole is a great score. The 8th green is the furthest point from the Honesty Box - where you can safely leave any other luggage etc. From there, the 9th goes downhill, as a 206 Yard Par 3. Don't be long off the 9th tee as anything beyond the green will be lost in rough and/or another patch of swampy ground.
This is the 13th, a 161 Yard Par 3. You might want to take some time out to explore the rock formations behind the green and wonder at the collection of large pebbles that have been carried a few hundred yards ashore by past Winter storms. Sail west from Colonsay and your first landfall will be Canada, so the golf course is pretty exposed to wild weather. The Stroke Index 1 hole is the 376 Yard Par 5 14th Hole. You might think that a 376 Yard Par 5 would be pretty easy but you'd be wrong. The drive looks easy enough, but you might struggle to find your ball amongst the various rabbit holes, patches of really rough ground and wild flowers (mostly white!) Your next shot will be either to lay up or try to carry a large area of swamp in front of the green, avoiding some rocky outcrops. I got lucky, in that my drive finished on an upslope and a great launchpad for a my 3 wood. Even then, I missed the small green and had to scramble my way to a good par. This is a view of the 14th green from the 7th tee, highlighting the rocks and swamp that make this hole so daunting.
The closing holes work their way back up towards the Honesty Box and are mostly relatively easy. However, the 18th is an absolute brute of a hole. There are no defined fairways on the course, just tees, greens and areas of grass in between, festooned with patches of rough, animal droppings, swampy areas and rocky outcrops. The Stroke Index 2 18th hole is the most extreme example of this terrain on the whole course. This 370 Yard Par 5 goes very gently uphill for the first 200 Yards, then very steeply uphill for the remainder. Your second shot will be completely blind, played over clumps of long maram grass and rocky outcrops to a tiny green nestling in a hollow. There's no marker post to offer you a clue about the location of the green. I got lucky as a 3 ball of visitors had played the first 6 holes and cut across to do 16-18, so I was able to follow their "progress" up the 18th. If you ever play here, take a wander over to the right of the 1st tee for a look at the 18th green and try to remember where it lies in relation to that tee. Doing so might just save you one or more lost balls and a few strokes on your closing hole.
Playing here isn't really about scoring well. It's about enjoying a natural course in beautiful surroundings. Colonsay is almost as remote as it gets and your travel and accommodation options will be limited, but making the trip will be worth the effort. And the beer from the micro-brewery down by the ferry pier is also worth seeking out!
My score? 82 gross, net 71, only 1 over par, with 29 putts. I strongly recommend you put this course on your bucket list and savour the slow pace of life that attracts so many to visit this little island each year.

Why IT won't like Mac OS X Lion Server
Lion Server's many missing services
Once you locate and download the Server Admin tool, experienced Mac OS X Server administrators will notice it's a much thinner tool than it used to be. Roughly half the services that used to be there are missing. Most user-based services, such as file sharing, calendaring, and Web services, have been moved to the simple Server application. Others, such as QuickTime Streaming Server, have been completely removed.
One of the more significant feature rollbacks comes in reduced support for Windows clients. For years, Mac OS X Server's LDAP-based Open Directory had the ability to function as a primary domain controller (PDC) to support Windows clients. The PDC provided Windows clients with single sign-on authentication, and for those who work on both platforms, it gave users access to the same accounts and server-based home folders from their Windows PCs as well as their Macs. In Lion Server, Windows clients still have access to file sharing, but are now second-class clients.
On the flip side, Lion Server retains Open Directory integration with Active Directory. Mac clients can still bind to Active Directory using the "golden triangle" configuration, where Mac OS X Server and Open Directory bind to Active Directory.
Another service that Apple deleted is the print server of previous Mac OS X Server builds. Lion Server contains only the same ability to share printers found in every copy of Mac OS X client for the past five years: the open source Common Unix Printing System (CUPS), which gives Macs the ability to host shared print queues and simple pools of printers but lacks the enterprise features that previous print servers had. For example, Lion Server's CUPS cannot prioritize printers in the pool or set quotas for individual users or printers. And you can't publish printers to Open Directory.
Lion Server: GUI, GUI, gone
Other services that appear to be missing in Lion Server are actually still there. NFS (the Unix-based file sharing protocol) is gone from Server Admin, but it is accessible via the command line. Podcast Producer, Mac OS X Server's podcast workflow system, still uses NFS, and you can create NFS-based home folders for users. But where before you could click check boxes to configure it, you now need to type Unix commands. Similarly, the FTP server isn't available in Server or Server Admin but is available through the command line.
If you're looking for the configuration for MySQL, you won't find it, either in the GUI or in the command line. That's because Apple has replaced it with PostgreSQL, another open source database. On one hand, this is an improvement, because PostgreSQL is considered to be more powerful than MySQL. But whereas Snow Leopard's Server Admin tool had GUI settings for MySQL, PostgreSQL is command line only in Lion Server.
With others services, GUI administration tools survived -- barely. Lion Server still has industrial-strength Apache Web services, but it has replaced several windows' worth of settings with little more than an on/off switch and a button to add another host website path and domain name. This makes it more difficult to host multiple websites as virtual hosts or at least more difficult to figure out why it isn't working.
The admin tools no longer provide a way to set URL aliases and redirects, which point to files or folders while keeping the location hidden from uses. Also eliminated is the ability to set domain-name-level Web alias. And the GUI tools provide no way to configure the execution of CGI scripts on a website. You can no longer set maximum simultaneous connections, connection timeouts, or persistent connections. These and other configurations were available in the Server Admin tool in previous incarnations of Mac OS X Server. Rather than simplify Web configuration, this puts much of Apache's features out of reach to those less adept in editing config files.
The same is true for VPN configuration, iChat (Jabber) service, and to a lesser degree the iCal calendaring service.
The exception to all this is email service, which still the same level of configuration detail as in previous versions of Mac OS X Server, and with a better Web mail implementation.
Lion Server's Profile Manager: The sole bright spot
For business and education, Profile Manager is the shining spot in Lion Server. Once you turn on services and switch on Profile Manager, it automatically creates configuration profiles, which are XML files that can be pushed to Mac and iOS clients that automatically configure them to receive the service. You can send out an enrollment profile, which enables changes to be pushed out (when the user accepts it). You can have different sets of profiles that apply to groups of users, as well as to individual devices and groups of devices.

Comissions: Opened o.o!HELLO THERE
In all seriousness, I wanna start to make commissions. After talking to Alyssa (walkingmelons on youtube) about prices, I'm leaning towards following her policy. So if you want to commission me here are some details:
A fully colored digital drawing (like this one): $40 (may charge extra if there are more than 2 characters)
A fully colored digital drawing only focusing on the upper body part: $30
Since I'm just starting with the commission thing I wanna take it slowly and patiently, maybe in a future I'll be able to draw only sketched or simple colored drawings which will be cheaper, but for now I'll focus on what I know I can do better. If you are interested, send me a note named "Commission" and then add what you want. I'm thinking I can only take maybe 2 commissions per week to get started, when I get the hang of it I'll probably be able to take more in.
As for the time, it depends. If I'm inspired I might jus

My twitter messagesSo recently I made a thread on twitter. So it doesn't get lost in the shuffle, here we go ->
Lately I've been feeling a ton of stress, that doesn't seem like I can really find an outlet for. I've been desperately clamoring for a break from youtube/reviewing, but doing that is destructive for your channel. And at the moment, that's in a bad place and I'm not entirely sure why. No theory I has builds into all of the evidence. I'm in such a place where... I so desperately want something, but I'm not even sure what that thing I want is.
I've wanted to lash out in random directions, say something - sometimes towards people, sometimes just in the air - but you're not supposed to do that because of secret... rules, I guess. I've been trying to articulate my feelings, but there are so many of them they've become this vague nebulous thing that I struggle to describe. I could pick at the pieces, but there are just too many events and incidents at this point

The general parts of the setup are illustrated in the following diagram, then a detailed description is given for each part
The above diagram shows the main files used. There are basically two important files: The file my.cfg and main.mk4. Since make4ht is used to build latex to html, the original tex4ht file tex4ht.env is no longer used. This is a good thing, as tex4ht.env is very hard to manage.
The file my.cfg in the diagram above is the configuration file for tex4ht. The file main.mk4 is used to customize the make4ht build process.
The setup described here uses .svg for both math and external images included using includegraphics when building the html pages, and uses .pdf for external images included using includegraphics when building to pdf file with pdflatex of lualatex.
Hence an initial step is to crop and then convert each pdf image file to svg file. This is done for each image file that is to be included using includegraphics
A small script is used to do this conversion. Here is the script called prep. This scipt will crop the pdf file (remove white spaces around the image) and then convert it to svg
I also use scour which is a python script to reduce the size of the svg images. Which does a very good image in reducing the size of SVG file. This is not needed, but if you need to use it, this is how the extended prep script above would be now
I had to make a temporary file x000.svg in the above, since scour does not allow one to overwrite the same file. To use scour, these are the commands to install it on Linux
Script prep is used as follows. To convert one pdf image file say image.pdf to image.svg", the command is
To convert all pdf image files in one folder to svg image files
After this prepration step, the latex file is compiled to html using the command
make4ht contains documentation on all the options it supports in addition to the ones shown above. For example to send all the output which includes the html file generated and all the images to a separate folder, the following command is used
A template latex file is given below. The \includegraphics command below does not include the image file extension. This is taken care of by the use of the configuration file described below. When compiling using pdflatex the pdf image file is read and when compiling using tex4ht, the svg file is read automatically.
The \includegraphics command must use a size specification in this setup, such as width=.8\textwidth or width=.8\linewidth or another exact value. It can not be without some size specification such as using scale or just \includegraphics[]{image1} as this will not work.
This is to remove the need to generate .xbb file for each svg. The setup here uses the width=scale\textwidth for all images.
The tex4ht configuration file my.cfg is described below. This file tells texh4t to use SVG instead of png for images, as svg is vector graphics and it scales better at different resolution. This file can also be used to customize the HTML output more by adding direct CSS command in the section starting after \begin{document} in this configuration file. There is a \begin{document} in the configuration file, which is not to be confused with the \begin{document} in the latex file itself. There are not the same.
Here is the template for the file my.cfg used in the above command. (Thanks to Post by Michal Hoftich on Tex stackexchange
The above section described one of the main files used which was my.cfg. This section describes the other main file main.mk4 which is used to customize the make4ht build. Below is the listing of the current main.mk4 used in this setup.
This file comes with the make4ht installation. The first line was modified to make the math little larger. The command
Tells dvisvgm to make the math equations 1.15 larger than the default. This value can be adjusted as needed by editing this file.
The above file is located in the $HOME folder, as well as the file my.cfg. These files are kept in $HOME to make it easier to locate by make4ht. But these can also be in the same folder where the latex file is located.
As of Texlive 2015, make4ht is now part of TexLive. There is nothing to do to install it.
The following are the relevant environment variables from the .bashrc file used in this setup. Change path to your texlive as needed.
And of course texlive itself has to be installed.
The setup uses Make to build all latex files. It uses a recursive make that builds the whole tree. But here a small example of Make is given which builds only one directory.
It builds both pdf and HTML from the latex and converts all the pdf image files to svg if needed automatically. This means when the pdf image file is changed (may be due to updating the drawing itself, or running tikz again to generate new pdf image file), then the images that have changed are automatically converted to svg when running make and the pdf and HTML are build. This way the result always contains the correct latest images.
This is illustrated below using a template layout, which consists of one folder that contains the latex file, and a subfolder which contains all the images that are used by the latex file. In this example there are 2 image files. The images are kept in separate folder to make it easier to manage.
The output of the HTML is send to separate folder. Therefore the structure before the make is run is as follows:
After running make, the structure becomes like this
Notice that in the output, all the .svg images are copied over as well as the HTML file to the output directory.
The example latex file is.
The makefile is
From the source folder, issuing the following commands will build the index.tex file
The script prep used in the makefile is shown earlier above.

The Tories are destroying the #NHS. Huge cuts have left staff overworked, undervalued, and as a result at danger of putting patients at risk. At PMQ's Theresa May stood up and said that she believes the Tories have poured record funding into the health service, and that this is a record to be proud of.
Looking at the numbers I see nothing for her to be even be remotely proud of,
- The A&E crisis is 900% worse than 2010 say NHS Digital
- 40% of NHS walk-in-centres have been axed says Monitor
- 1/6 of all A&E's have been closed say Monitor
- 15,000 NHS Beds shut cutting capacity 5.5m say NHS
- NHS spend per patient doen 9.1% say IFS
- £48bn of NHS cash to private health, say DoH
- £5bn social care has been cut say NAO
- £22bn more "efficiencies" NHS cuts says NAO
- £2.1bn wasted on Agency Staff says DOH
- Nurse Vacancy rate up 200% say HoC Library
- GP Vacancy Rate up 500% says HoC Library
- NHS waiting list is at 8 year high (3.9m) say NHS Digital
- NHS resources to private patients up 30% say DoH
- 5,309 Mental Health nurses cut say NHS Digital
- Urgent operations cancelled is up 37% says NHS Digital
- Nurses Pay cut £2,300 in real terms say NHS Digital
- Trainee Doctor pay cut £2,300 in real terms say NHS
- NHS Trusts in £2bn deficit, say DoH Accounts
- £20m donations from private health interests to Tories
The NHS is vital to our way of life. We as a country believe in the importance of healthcare, and respect the foundation it was built upon, the importance of care to all regardless of wealth. The continuing Tory privatisation of our services completely contradicts these British values.
To see the real-life effect on NHS staff, all you have to do is search the #PublicDuty hashtag on Twitter to read fears from NHS staff members of what a 2017 Conservative government would mean for them, and for the country. Labour have promised to raise the wages of NHS staff, so that we can fix the problems caused by the Conservatives, and move forward to rebuild our beloved NHS on values for all, not just for some.

Hourglass is a relatively new brand in make-up and hardly known and distributed here in Europe. They have a couple of products in their portfolio which have become iconic items for make-up lovers and Opaque Rouge is one of them.
Opaque Rouge is a fully opaque matte lipstick which comes in a liquid form and initially looks like a gloss. The tube it comes in is really cute but tiny which makes you feel a bit disappointed considering how much the product costs but on the other hand it's very practical and party- and travel-friendly cause it fits in the tiniest pocket.
The applicator is a fluffy wand which picks the right amount of product and distributes it rather successfully. You need only a tiny amoount of the product cause a little goes a long way. Apply it evenly on your lips, give it a minute or two to set and voila! Perfectly matte lips are done!
The shade Icon is a gorgeous dark cherry red with cool undertones which suits my complexion really well.
|three hours later...
Now on to a proper product review:
What I liked about the product:
- the shade is beautiful
- matte finish
- quite long-lasting
- cute packaging and luxurious design
What I found disappointing:
- the product is long-lasting but nowhere near the 8-10 hours of wear including eating and drinking mentioned by other reviewers. After 3 hours I notice substantial and uneven fading. And I'm a good lipstick wearer, I don't tend to touch or lick my lips all the time.
- the beautiful cherry red turns to fuchsia when it starts to fade. Fuchsia/magenta are not my favourite shades
- it's quite drying, your lips need to be in tip-top condition, applying a balm right before the lipstick will affect its performance
- very expensive and hard to get
Disclaimer: I bought the product myself for my personal use and I am not affiliated with any company. I am not paid to do this review and everything I said here is my genuine opinion.

NEW YORK (Reuters) - Some 6.7 million homes and businesses in Florida and nearby states still had no power on Tuesday after the pummelling from Hurricane Irma, as utility companies scrambled to get the lights back on in one of the biggest power restoration efforts in U.S. history.
The total number of customers, representing about 13 million people, dipped from a peak of more than 7.4 million customers late on Monday. But some people in the hardest hit areas of Florida may have to wait weeks before they get power back.
Major utilities in Florida - including NextEra Energy Inc's (NEE.N) Florida Power & Light, Duke Energy Corp (DUK.N) and Emera Inc's (EMA.TO) Tampa Electric - have mobilized tens of thousands of workers to deal with the enormous power outages after Irma landed early Sunday and carved a destructive path up Florida, which has a population of about 20 million.
"This is likely to be one of the largest and most complex power restoration efforts in U.S. history," said Tom Kuhn, president of the Edison Electric Institute, an industry trade group.
More than 50,000 workers from across the United States and Canada were involved in the restoration efforts, including those from the affected companies and other utilities, Kuhn said.
Some Florida utilities, including FPL, had warned customers it could take weeks to restore power in the hardest hit areas.
However, the state's largest utility, FPL, said on Tuesday that would restore power to eastern Florida by this weekend, and to western Florida by Sept 22.
Irma hit southwest Florida on Sunday morning as a dangerous Category 4 storm, the second-highest level on the five-step Saffir-Simpson scale. It gradually weakened as it headed through the state, becoming a tropical storm and then a tropical depression on Monday.
Most of the homes and businesses still without power were in FPL's service area in the southern and eastern parts of Florida.
FPL said its outages dipped to around 2.8 million customers by Tuesday morning from a peak of more than 3.6 million on Monday morning, but that was still more than half of its customers.
In total more than 4.5 million FPL customers were affected by the storm, with over 1.6 million having their service restored already, mostly by automated devices.
FPL said nearly 19,500 FPL employees and workers from other utilities and electrical contractors were working around the clock to restore power and rebuild the company's infrastructure.
It was too soon to say what the restoration would cost FPL, but in 2016, the company said it spent about $315 million to restore power after Hurricanes Hermine and Matthew, according to NextEra's federal filings.
Most of those costs were related to Matthew, which caused a third as many outages as Irma did for FPL.
To recover restoration costs, FPL files with state regulators and, if approved, adds a storm surcharge on the monthly bills of its nearly 5 million customers.
That surcharge was capped at around $4 per month for the average residential customer, according to NextEra's 2016 annual report. The company, however, said it could request an increase if storm restoration costs exceed $800 million in any calendar year.
Florida's second biggest power company, Duke, serving the northern and central parts of the state, said it still had about 1.2 million outages Tuesday morning, according to the company's website, while Duke's outages in North and South Carolina climbed to about 160,000.
In Georgia, utilities reported around 1.2 million customers without power Tuesday morning, down from a peak of more than 1.4 million on Monday night.
FPL said its two nuclear plants in Florida were safe. Both reactors at its Turkey Point facility, about 30 miles (48 km) south of Miami, remained shut early Tuesday, while both reactors at its St. Lucie plant, about 120 miles (190 km) north of Miami, were operating at full power.

The fashion works of Betsey Johnson are known for their sheer opulence, richness, beauty and fabulous embellishments. They are feminine in the true sense of the world. The same is true for her fragrances for women. They are full of passion and energy and combine the elegance, freedom and sophistication typical for the modern woman. Now you can buy the perfumes created by the fashion designer at cheap stockist prices when you shop online.
Betsey Johnson is a US fashion designer born in Connecticut in 1942. As a child, she too ballet classes and was inspired by the gorgeous costumes worn by dancers. This early inspiration has always influenced her works. After graduating from college, she started her career in fashion as a guest editor of the influential Mademoiselle magazine. Soon after, she became an in-house designer of a trendy boutique in New York. The young designer quickly became part of the youth quake movement in fashion and entered the underground art circles.
The first boutique Betsey Johnson opened in 1969 was in the trendy Upper East Side neighbourhood of Manhattan. The 1970's were quite successful for the designer. She took control over the trendy Alley Cat fashion label and her debut collection produced a return of over 5 million dollars, according to reports. She got the Coty Award in 1972. In 1978, she started her own line of clothing. Even though the brand has had some tough periods, it has always delivered what its clients expect and has achieved major success and considerable expansion.
In 2004, the designer expanded her label's line to include handbags, scarves, hats and other accessories. In 2009, Betsey Johnson was awarded the Medal of Honor for Lifetime Achievement in Fashion of the National Arts Club of the United States. She has a bronze plaque on the Fashion Walk of Fame. Currently, her brand has over 65 stores in various countries worldwide.
The first fragrance created by Betsey Johnson was launched in 2006. The women's perfume bears the name of the designer herself. The package with flowers and animal print in yellow and pink attracts the attention with its playful charm. The bottle has a stylised feminine shape and an artistic opener. The blend of fruity, floral and woody accords is totally luxurious, womanly and sensual.
The second fragrance of Betsey Johnson Too Too debuted on the market in 2011. Both the perfume and the bottle have been inspired by ballet and the beauty and grace of the dancers. The bottle is in shape of a dancer wearing a ballet costume with a classic tutu in pink and black. The fragrance is fresh, fruity, spicy and sweet with patchouli being the leading note. This perfume line was continued in 2012 with Too Too Pretty. This fragrance has citrusy top notes, a rich white floral heart and a musky and woody base. It is made to drive men crazy.
