6.4. Setting Start Script Arguments, Environment Variables, and JAVA_OPTS
6.4.1. Start Script Discovery and Settings
As part of discovering a JBoss EAP 6 server (domain controller or standalone server), JBoss ON attempts to discover the environment that the server is running in. Specifically, the discovery process attempts to identify and recreate the runtime environment:
- The discovery process identifies, or attempts to identify, the start script used, including custom start scripts.
- Discovery detects a subset of environment variables set in the
run.conffile or parent process that are required for the start script to work.
NoteAlthough the discovery process does detect some environment variables, the discovery scan does not detect
JAVA_OPTSvalues.The connection properties for the start script intentionally defer to the
run.conffile for
- Discovery attempts to detect any arguments passed with the start script itself.
- Discovery attempts to detect what user the script is running as and assign a prefix command to use with the start script. For example, if the start script is running as the
jbossuser and the JBoss ON agent is running as
jonagent, then the discovery script automatically assigns a
sudo -u jboss -g jboss, to pass with the start script.
The discovered settings are stored in the Start Script Environment Variables and Start Script Arguments connection settings for the EAP 6 resource.
If the discovery scan cannot detect some of the script settings (such as the agent is running as a different user than the EAP 6 server and cannot read the parent process), it fails gracefully. It simply gathers whatever information it can and ignores blank values.
The Start Script Environment Variables and Start Script Arguments connection settings are only discovered once, when the resource is initially discovered. After that, the connection settings can be changed in the connection settings, but any changes made on the local system will not be detected. For example, if the server is discovered with a particular value (like
-XX:PermSize=256M), the argument value will not be updated if the server is restarted later with a different setting value.
The script arguments and environment variables are the only ones used by the agent when it runs the start script. These arguments and environment variables are not added to other configuration settings or the parent process. The start script settings in the EAP 6 connection settings configuration are deterministic.
6.4.2. Start Script Arguments and Drift Monitoring
JBoss ON can monitor directories or specific files to check for configuration drift, which means configuration changes that move away from a designated configuration state. This is described in more detail in Section 6.12, "Controlling Configuration Drift" and the drift chapters of "Managing Resource Configuration."
While drift monitoring is critical for administrators to manage important resources, there may be times when it is necessary or beneficial from that configuration in a few settings. The start script arguments can be used to override the defined configuration for an EAP 6 server without triggering a drift alert.
Since the start script options are all connection settings, every change is recorded in a change history and can be easily viewed and reverted, as in Section 6.13, "Tracking and Reverting Configuration Changes". This keeps the system properties and Java settings trackable and remediable.
Example 6.1. System Properties Without Violating the Drift Definition
Tim the IT Guy creates one specific set of configuration that all production EAP 6 servers should use an environment. He then creates a drift definition template for monitoring and associates or pins that blessed configuration to the template.
Every EAP 6 server which uses that drift template must conform to those configuration settings. Tim the IT Guy creates an alert that informs him if any production server drifts away from that specified configuration. This is an important safety measure for Example Co.'s production application servers.
However, a couple of the production servers have slightly different hardware and other applications running on them, so they require different heap sizes to run effectively.
If Tim the TI Guy adds a system property to use a different heap size, he is going to receive constant drift alerts or his edited configuration could be overwritten if he runs an automatic server-side script to remediate drift configuration.
By setting different heap settings through the start script, Tim can apply the right settings for that system without editing a configuration file, so there is no alert-able configuration drift.
6.4.3. Changing Start Script Configuration
- Click the Inventory tab in the top menu.
- Select Servers - Top Level Imports in the Resources menu table on the left. Select the JBoss EAP 6 server.
- In the inventory tree, select the top resource entry for the server.
- Open the Inventory tab, and select the Connection Settings subtab.
- Expand the Operations area.
- Change or add start script settings. These are the scripts and settings that the JBoss ON agent uses when running a start or restart operation on the EAP 6 server.
- To use a custom start script, one other than
standalone.sh, enter the path and script name.
- Optionally, enter a prefix to use with the script when running the start script.When the start script is discovered, the agent tries to determine the user the script is running as and assign a prefix command to use with the start script. For example, if the start script is running as the
jbossuser and the JBoss ON agent is running as
jonagent, then the discovery script automatically assigns a
sudo -u jboss -g jboss, to pass with the start script.Additionally, JBoss ON assigns the
nohupcommand as a prefix so that if the JBoss EAP/AS server is started by the agent and the agent process dies, the JBoss EAP/AS server process continues running.
- Set any environment variables, one per line.
- Set any script arguments, one per line. For regular JAVA_OPTS, these arguments usually are
-D, or
-P. Some useful
-XXarguments are listed in the JVM options documentation from Sun. Some useful system properties for EAP 6 are listed with the JBoss AS7 project documentation.The EAP 6 default start scripts use a
run.sh-style script, so the arguments use that format. A custom script can use different arguments or options.

Generic Name: Celecoxib (SEL e KOX ib)
Brand Names: CeleBREX
Where to buy Celebrex online?
Celebrex, which is the brand name for Celecoxib, is classified as a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug. It helps relieve pain and also to bring down inflammation. The drug is typically prescribed to treat conditions like painful menstruation, acute pain, ankylosing spondylitis, rheumatoid arthritis, and osteoarthritis.
Celebrex may be bought with a valid prescription. The drug may be used in children diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis but should not be administered to any child who is less than two years old. Though it is not a cure, the pain relieving effects of this drug aids very much in improving physical movement.
How does the medication work?
Celebrex works by inhibiting the conversion of arachidonic acid to prostaglandin precursors, which produces the effects of analgesia. The drug has a biological half-life of about 7.8 hours, which varies according to the metabolism rate of persons with hepatic impairment.
Celebrex is known to produce severe side effects with long-term use and if taken in very high doses. Despite the drug having analgesic effects similar to paracetamol and ibuprofen which have far fewer side effects and cost cheaper too, millions of Celebrex prescriptions are written every year. Medical researchers continue to conduct trials for this drug to check its efficacy in other conditions as well.
Medication Dosage Strengths
The Drug is available for use in the form capsules in the dosage strengths of 50 mg, 100 mg, 200 mg and 400 mg. It is always recommended to take Celebrex according to the prescription as it would have the dosage and course specifications that are suited to your health condition. The medical practitioner may initially prescribe the minimum dosage of 50 mg and then titrate to higher doses based on the response to the treatment. The dosage information for various ailments is given below.
For osteoarthritis, the typical Celebrex dose recommended is 200 mg in a day. If required, this dose may be split into two 100 mg doses and administered on a twice daily basis.
Rheumatoid arthritis symptoms may be relieved by taking Celebrex in 100 mg or 200 mg doses twice every day, depending on the severity of the condition. For children diagnosed with this illness, the drug is administered based on the weight which may be 50 mg for patients weighing between 10 and 25 kg, and 100 mg for patients weighing 25 kg. A child less than two years of age should never be given Celebrex. If swallowing the capsule is difficult, the medication may be mixed with applesauce and then given.
Ankylosing Spondylitis is another condition where the pain can be relieved by taking Celebrex. 200 mg may be administered daily as a single dose or in split doses. In case no efficacy is felt after a few weeks, the dose may be hiked to 400 mg.
How to take the medication?
Celebrex should always be done according to the dosage information provided by the healthcare professional. One can also read the package insert that is provided on the drug's prescription label. One should never take the medication in doses higher than recommended.
Also, the lowest possible should always be considered before taking Celebrex in a higher dose. If the drug happens to upset your stomach then it may be taken with food, but it is not always required to take in this manner.
Missing a dose and overdose
Celebrex is mostly taken only as needed and so it is not likely to miss a dose. If you are on a dosing schedule then the forgotten dose should be taken as soon as you remember to do so unless the timing clashes with the next scheduled dose. Do not double the dose or take doses closer together in case of a missed dose, but skip the missed dose entirely.
Under circumstances where one overdosed on Celebrex, do not delay in getting emergency medical assistance.
Precautionary Information
Celebrex use can be made safe by following a few general precautions as given below.
Side Effects Of Medication
Celebrex can cause certain side effects with use. In the case of any allergic reactions, stop using the drug get medical attention immediately. The mild symptoms usually go away but if they are severe or persistent then you must seek emergency medical help.
Common side effects of Celebrex may be:
Severe side effects of Celebrex may be:
Drug Interactions
Always consult with you health care provider before taking Celebrex so as to ensure that the drug is safe to use. You can avoid potentially dangerous drug interactions by disclosing any medications that you may be taking including prescription pills, over the counter drugs, vitamin or mineral supplements, and other herbal formulations. These can combine to produce very harmful effects. Some of the drugs likely to interact with Celecoxib are:
For a complete guide to the most likely drug interactions, refer your healthcare provider for advice.

text: The German publishing company Insel Verlag was founded in 1899 by Anton Kippenberg in Leipzig. In its early years the firm only printed expensive, beautifully-produced volumes, until demand led to the publication of the more modest Insel-Bücherei series in 1912. Relatively inexpensive but with the same careful sense of design and typography, these smaller-format books reprinted shorter works from a variety of German, European, and world authors. The series numbers considerably more than a thousand titles and is still being issued. The Digital Collection contains the scanned covers of 140 titles held by Grand Valley State University Libraries.

So close, and, yet, so far. Still, we can never turn a blind-eye, or even a not-wide-open eye toward anything Miranda Kerr, most especially her covered topless pose in the February edition of Jalouse magazine.
Now, the French have a way of turning something sexy, into something meta-silly, but they can't crush the underlying uber-hotness of Miranda Kerr, most especially when taking pictures of her with her top off.
So, try to avoid the spectacle of fashion and nonsense surrounding these photos, and just hone in on the covered topless goodness of one of the world's most lust-inducing women, and I promise you will be experiencing some levels of bliss not felt since you were an infant and cried out to the world in need and somebody ran to you and plunked a swollen teat in your mouth.
It all goes back to the source. Enjoy.

It was just too wet to race.
That was the early afternoon verdict from Texas Thunder Speedway promoter David Goode on Saturday.
Some folks might ask why, since we wet down the surface with several truckloads of water on non-rainy race days.
I don't pretend to know even half the science that goes into track prep, but it's a fact that to artfully get a quarter-mile of dirt ready for a night's racing program, you have to have a combination of water, wind and hopefully sunshine, to make it perfect, paired up with vehicles driving over and over around the track to "pack" the water down into the dirt and get just the right consistency.
You also have to know when to water and when not to ... a formula that "the mad scientist" has perfected with his staff to put out a product that the drivers who compete at Texas Thunder hail as a "great track."
So, Mother Nature put a stop to that Saturday and it couldn't have come at a worse time, since the clock is ticking down to Aug. 31, which is most likely the final night we'll hear the engines roar on Stan Schlueter Loop.
In case you missed it last week, here's the short version:
Texas Thunder Speedway sits on a plot of land that has been a race track since 1972. The family that bought it 15 or so years ago was offered big — no, huge — money by a developer and they signed the papers. Said developer wanted the place as soon as possible and that was determined to be Aug. 31, leaving us with only 14 race nights before the end.
Since race fans in this area won't have a dirt track to embrace after that date, I'm hoping that everybody who reads this will get behind the sport ... find a track, whether it's Heart of Texas Speedway in Elm Mott, Cotton Bowl Speedway in Paige, Kennedale Speedway Park or wherever, and support it. We've already lost I-37 Speedway in Pleasanton and it looks like Texas Thunder is next. There's not that many left.
Please support the uniquely American sport that is dirt- track racing. Texas Thunder Speedway will pull out all the stops between now and the final checkered flag Aug. 31 to see that area racing fans have a great place for "getting dirty" fun.
Don't let its demise be in vain.
Happy Memorial Day from all of us at the track. Remember those who made the ultimate sacrifice.
See ya Saturday.

Similarly, I've never seen an orchestra arranged around a concert hall and the audience, also as you say, the surround sound capability would only add an extra level of realism to the ambience of the venue and not give any better resolution.
So you don't think the extra level of realism will be of any benefit? I think surround sound HD format will sound pretty amazing, with better audio separation and spatial experience.
Not at all. The benefits of recreating a more realistic live environment are obvious, it's what has been done for a long time though, particularly in movies. The whole idea of surround sound is to recreate the illusion of actually being in a particular place, in this case a music hall or theatre.
The image shows musicians being recorded in a circle though and far from creating a higher level of realism, this type of recording would sound artificial, as you don't ever hear a live performance with musicians surrounding you.
Artificial is the perfect world, this doesn't reflect any sort of real life situation. Pointless.

I had this question recently and my response was:
If the blower door takes the home up to 50 Pa, and the pressure pan reading across the outlet is 49 Pa for example, that says that total of the rest of the leakage path to outdoors is about 7 times larger than the outlet which means the outlet is acting like the primary air containment barrier. Similarly, if the pressure is only 1 Pa, it says that…

THE second half of the season will be a struggle against relegation for Middlesbrough, just as it was last year.
They showed plenty of spirit on Saturday and defended well to stay in a game in which they were on the back foot almost throughout. But how they crave the return of some of the skilful players who have moved on in recent years.
They are confident Andrew Baggett will be back once his Blaydon days are over. Not quite in the mould of England trio Phil Horrocks-Taylor, Alan Old and Rob Andrew, he remains a very accomplished fly half, while another useful No 10 who came through the club was Ross Winney, who is still playing for Burnage.
Wingers have also blossomed at Acklam Park, starting with Rory Underwood. Jon Steel and Simon Webster played for Scotland, Peter Homan made his league debut for London Scottish last month, and Newcastle's Zach Kibirige played some junior rugby for Boro.
But it's in the back row where they have really felt the recent exodus as they now struggle to field a settled unit.
Carl Kirwan is making a big impact with Championship leaders London Welsh, Josh Burridge is with Wharfedale, and Rory Duff and Ollie Hodgson are playing for Darlington Mowden Park.
Hodgson is also in the Newcastle Falcons Academy and going back a few more years Shaun Cassidy and Tom Seymour also left Boro for Newcastle.
There are some promising young players in the current line-up. Adam Nolson did well at full back and this season's new front row of Isa Warsama, Ash Kearney and Richard Lonsdale coped admirably against bigger opponents. But without an injection of skill they will need all their strength of spirit to stay afloat in North One East.
Wheatley Hills are a Doncaster club generally known for a tough, forward-based game. Their theme tune might once have been 'When the boot comes in' but they preferred to run the ball rather than boot it downwind in the first half.
They led only 10-5 and with the wind getting stronger Boro looked likely winners when they went 12-10 ahead seven minutes after the break. But the visitors got straight back on top and their domination would have produced a bigger margin but for Boro's tenacity.
The pre-match talk was of Wheatley Hills having their best player suspended for three years for punching a referee. But his replacement at No 8 proved influential, breaking off a scrum in his own half and romping 50 metres to set up the first half try.
That effort quickly cancelled out a good try by Boro, which also started with their No 8, Iain Bradford, picking up from a scrum in his own half. He fed Peter Wright, whose chip ahead was hacked on by Jack Bircham and when the forwards won quick ruck ball it was moved left for Connor Foley to score.
The visiting left winger appeared to have scored five minutes before half-time, but the first of a series of five-metre scrums was awarded and Boro did extremely well to hold out.
Their early second half pressure was rewarded when lock Phil Harland crashed over and Matthew Todd converted, but from that point it increasingly became a question of when Wheatley Hills would score the winner.
It took until the 70th minute. They should have scored in the right corner after creating an overlap, but they kept the pressure on and the No 8 touched down a pushover try. The defeat left Boro one point above the relegation places and after two weeks off they face a tough January programme, starting at West Hartlepool.

The 1982 Trinidad and Tobago Road March tune penned by Penguin suggests that a deputy is essential, and while I fully appreciate that he was making reference to non-political spheres of life, his words have often been associated with Caribbean politics, to the extent that most people now presume that a Deputy Prime Minister is indeed vital. This presumption is ironic, since there is no constitutional or other legal requirement that there be such a post of deputy in either the Government or Opposition. As with all senior Government posts, it needs to be filled on a temporary basis when the substantive office holder is not available. However, this does not mean that that a permanent person has to be designated to this post. In the case of the Governor General, who is constitutionally superior to the Prime Minister, the Constitution initially conveys the right (to the Prime Minister) to identify any other person to act in that post, but specifies the Chief Justice, followed by the President of the Senate, as those mandated if no other person is available. There is, however, no post of Deputy Governor General in our system, and while the Constitution allows for the appointment of a Deputy Prime Minister, there is no constitutional requirement that there be such a person or post holder. Moreover, as is the case with the Governor General, the Constitution does not attempt to be persuasive regarding the Acting Prime Minister, other than to state that the appointed person must be a member of the House of Assembly. The Prime Minister can therefore appoint any MP as Acting Prime Minister, or indeed appoint any person (or persons) as Deputy in a way that is entirely consistent with his own preference. As such, since Independence, we have had Deputy Prime Ministers, and on occasion there has been none; but on every occasion that the Prime Minister has himself been unavailable, there has been an Acting Prime Minister. In the past, Prime Minister Errol Barrow has appointed Sir James Tudor as his Deputy and thereafter Sir Lloyd, who succeeded Barrow on his death. Tom Adams was comfortable with Sir Harold St John, who also succeeded him. However, Sir Harold never appointed a Deputy, while Sir Lloyd did, in the shape of Sir Philip Greaves. Owen Arthur appointed Dame Billie Miller almost immediately upon assumption of the office, but later conveyed this title to Mia Mottley, while elevating Dame Billie to the post of Senior Minister. David Thompson's action therefore in not appointing a Deputy immediately was somewhat similar to that of Sir Harold, since they both kept their options open regarding an acting appointment, which we presume was politically motivated. It is this political motivation that creates the intrigue with the politics of the number two post. There have been other regional prime ministers who have opted not to appoint a deputy, such as Kamla Persad-Bissessar in Trinidad and Tobago. However, Thompson's actions differed in that he never overtly discussed the issue and thereafter appointed the same person (Freundel Stuart) to act on any occasion that he travelled; and where both travelled, Ronald Jones was appointed. In the case of Persad-Bissessar, she stated her intention to rotate the acting appointment and thereafter identified alternative ministers when she travelled. As such, Thompson's actions were somewhat odd and it almost appeared as though he was "auditioning" Stuart, whom he subsequently appointed as deputy. This background information brings us to the contemporary situation and the case of Prime Minister Stuart who, like his predecessor, opted not to appoint a deputy, while (initially) identifying the same individual to act whenever he travelled. He has now shifted his preference to Richard Sealy, and this has raised suspicions regarding his dissatisfaction with Jones and questions regarding the rationale behind his preference for Sealy. There can be no question that the Prime Minister has absolute power and discretion in this case. Moreover, one will agree that he would normally wish to appoint someone he trusts to "mind the shop", since that person effectively inherits all the Prime Minister's power while he is away, with the presumption that he should know how to "behave". Having said this, recent thinking in political circles has suggested that there is perhaps no inherent danger in appointing one's "adversary" to act since there is effectively little that s/he can do to change the status quo. The relevant instances here would be the appointment of Mottley by Arthur although she was considerably more junior than several of her Cabinet colleagues and clearly an option for future leadership. Reference is also made to the appointment (and retention) of St Kitts and Nevis' Deputy Prime Minister Sam Condor, who has been one of Prime Minister Denzil Douglas' fiercest critics in recent times, but continues to act as prime minister while he is away. The question of who "acts" and who (if anyone) is appointed Deputy Prime Minister will continue to carry considerable political interest, which belies the constitutional "unimportance" of this appointment. Clearly "we" ascribe some level of importance to the office, and it is perhaps for this reason that the Americans have institutionalized a similar post which carries substantial eminence, but little tangible responsibility once the president is alive. It is ironic that within the Westminster system of politics (at least within the Britain), the deputy has seldom become prime minister and within this region deputy prime ministers have generally succeeded the prime minister only when he dies and few appear to have been successful thereafter. Prime Minister David Cameron's current deputy provides a good case in point since he is leader of the minority party within the governing coalition and, as such, most unlikely to succeed if Cameron were to become unavailable for leadership. Summarily it would seem that "we" interpret the Acting Prime minister and indeed the Deputy Prime Minister as an implicit signal of the future direction of the government and part of the Prime Minister's succession plan. Hence an attractive Deputy Prime Minister, or potential Deputy, could help to boost the "stocks" of either party, especially where there is obvious public reservation about the substantive office holder. The appointment can however also be a double-edged sword since it can create jealousy and friction among the sitting MPs. This is perhaps why Prime Minister Thompson and Thomas initially did not select a Deputy and why Eric Williams had three. In our current dispensation, the "presumptive" deputy leader in either party is not politically attractive and therefore represents an opportunity lost in both instances. It could be argued that this opportunity is "neither here nor there" for the Barbados Labour Party since it is already well ahead. Political opportunities for the Democratic Labour Party (DLP) are however few and far between in this economic situation. One therefore wonders why there has been so little interest shown in such an appointment which requires so little effort and could make such a major difference to the DLP's fortunes. • Peter W.

ESSENDON'S much-vaunted new draftee Joe Daniher has had knee surgery.
The Bombers say the 18-year-old forward, who joined the club under the father-son rule in the national draft, will be on a restricted training program in early January.
But the club says it was only minor surgery, and is not expected to cause much disruption to Daniher's otherwise impressive pre-season campaign.
"He's had a minor scope to clean up a bit of cartilage that came loose from his patella," Essendon football manager Danny Corcoran said today.
"We're expecting him to be running on day one when we return (from the club's Christmas break).
"He's had a good six weeks before the break. He's really trained very, very well so far in the pre-season."

Why? Premade products cost way too much, I have better things to do with my time than fuss with them, and most are full of mysterious ingredients that may or may not be bad for my long-term health (a good place to check what's in personal-care products and why you might rather not smear them on your body is Environmental Working Group's Skin Deep cosmetic-safety database).
But despite all that, antiperspirant, lip balms, and hand and body lotion remain on my list of regularly or occasionally used personal-care products. Since antiperspirant was the one I used the most often, I finally decided last spring that the time had come to toss my effective but truly nasty antiperspirant stick, which contained things like paraben preservatives, synthetic fragrance, assorted synthetic petrochemicals, and the antibacterial triclosan, and find a natural underarm deodorant product that worked for me.
Homemade Deodorants
I knew I'd have to give up on antiperspirants (which block perspiration) and settle for a deodorant, as common antiperspirants rely on aluminum compounds, known to cause neurological problems, to swell your sweat glands shut. Luckily, sweat itself does not smell. Body odor comes from the bacteria that feast on your sweat; inhibit the bacteria and you will stay shower-fresh all day. Most people do not perspire all that much during routine activities, anyway, especially after their sweat glands have rid themselves of the toxins in commercial antiperspirants and deodorants (this last is key to remember as you make the transition from chemical-laden products to simple, natural ones; as the first few days you may sweat a bit more before your body settles down).
Health-food stores sell an assortment of natural deodorants. You'll see they often contain baking soda, tea tree or other natural essential oils, or potassium alum (a natural mineral that has nothing to do with aluminum, despite the name overlap). [Correction: Potassium alum is an aluminum salt, but it does not have the same health effects as the aluminum compounds, such as aluminum chloride, used in conventional antiperspirants, according to the Environmental Working Group.] All are quite effective natural bacteria inhibitors, and the oils add a pleasant—and safe—aroma (unlike synthetic fragrance). One product you may see is a natural hunk of crystallized potassium alum. I have one and find it quite effective: Simply moisten it slightly and rub it over your pits, and it works. (Just remember to give yourself a few days to adjust to it.)
Still, you don't have to buy a ready-made product. Here are a couple of simple recipes that work well.
Deodorant Powder
1 part baking soda
6 parts organic corn starch OR arrowroot powder
A few drops of tea tree oil or your favorite essential oil (optional)
Combine well and store in an airtight glass jar. Dust your underarms sparingly.
Deodorant Cream
This one is good if you shave and tend to get rash.
1 part baking soda
1 part pure shea butter
1 part organic coconut oil
A few drops of tea tree oil or your favorite essential oil (optional)
Heat the shea butter briefly in the microwave or in a double boiler to soften it, then combine it with the other ingredients. Store in a covered glass jar. Apply a tiny bit with your fingertips.
Deodorant Stick
1 part baking soda
2 parts pure shea butter
A few drops of tea tree oil or your favorite essential oil (optional)
As above, heat the shea butter briefly in the microwave or in a double boiler to soften it, then combine it with the other ingredients. Pack your mixture into an empty stick applicator (save and clean out an old one, or buy new ones from a crafting supply store). Apply lightly to underarms.
Lip Balms and Body Lotions
Even though I almost always wear gloves when I work outside, my hands do sometimes get rough or even cracked, especially when it's wet out or the day is especially long. And my back and legs tend to get dry and itchy, especially in the winter. Pure shea butter works well for dry, cracked hands at night. For larger areas, I prefer using straight organic coconut oil; it is a soft solid below 76 degrees F, but melts in the heat of your hand to become an easily absorbed liquid. When I need a little extra moisture, I'll make one of the following recipes.
Herbal Hand and Lip Balm
1 cup organic olive or almond oil
½ cup dried organic herbs (I like lavender and rosemary)
2/3 cup grated organic beeswax
A few drops of your favorite essential oil (optional)
Combine the oil and herbs in a double boiler and heat over simmering water for at least 15 minutes. Strain the oil through a coffee filter and return it to the double boiler. Add the grated beeswax and essential oil (if using), stirring until smooth. Pour into jars; the lotion will firm up as it cools. You can skip both the herb-infusion step and the essential oil if you like and make plain almond-beeswax balm, too.
Fancy Body Oil (for moisturizing or massage)
1 cup organic olive oil, almond oil, or coconut oil
A few drops of your favorite essential oil (patchouli and sandlewood, cypress and bergamont, or rose and ylang ylang are great combinations to try)
Combine oils (heat coconut oil over hot water to liquefy) and store in a glass bottle.
Note: For maximum shelf life, oil-based products should be kept in a cool, dark place away from sunshine and heat sources. Mix up only as much as you are likely to use in the next six to 12 months.

BRUSSELS, Belgium — The trial of the last surviving member of a neo-Nazi group that is accused of killing immigrants in Germany began today in Munich.
Beate Zschaepe, 38, is charged with complicity in killing eight Turkish immigrants, a Greek man and a policewoman between 2000 and 2007. She is also charged with participating in two bombings in Cologne that wounded 23 people, 15 bank robberies and belonging to a terrorist organization.
Prosecutors said Zschaepe and the two other members of her group attacked people of non-German origin "to realize their racist ideals, influenced by the Nazis for a preservation of the German nation through carrying out murders and explosive attacks to bring about change in the government and society," the New York Times reported.
Zschaepe belonged to the group, which called itself the National Socialist Underground (NSU), with Uwe Mundlos and Uwe Boehnhardt. The two men committed suicide in 2011 as police were coming to arrest them after a robbery.
Zschaepe turned herself in to officials a few days later, but denies the charges against her. Four others accused of assisting the group are also on trial.
More from GlobalPost: Neo-Nazis' secret weapon: women
The trial will likely take more than a year to complete, with up to 600 witnesses expected to testify.
"With its historical, social and political dimensions the NSU trial is one of the most significant of post-war German history," lawyers for the family of the first victim, flower seller Enver Simsek, said in a statement, according to Al Jazeera.
The case is raising uncomfortable questions in Germany over how a neo-Nazi terror gang was able to carry out 10 murders between 2000 and 2007 without the security services even suspecting the group existed. Police only discovered the cell when Zschape turned herself in.
"Why were the authorities blind?" said a banner held by protesters supporting the victims' families outside the courthouse Monday.
German government officials have acknowledged the security forces neglected the threat from far-right extremists despite indications neo-Nazi groups are becoming increasingly violent.
Investigations by German media show at least 152 people were murdered by right-wing extremists between 1990 and 2012. In February alone, there were 941 right-wing hate resulting in 29 injuries, the business daily Handelsblatt reported Monday.
More from GlobalPost: Echoes of Hitler, an in-depth series about the far right in Europe.
"Citizens, politicians and journalists here in Germany fool themselves when it comes to right-wing radicalism," the paper said. "We tend to see it as being completely marginal, as though it takes place far from the center of society and the right-wingers will ultimately vanish by themselves. It has become apparent that they won't."
Police initially blamed the NSU killings on criminal gangs within Germany's 3.5-million-strong Turkish community. The extent of the security forces' failure is leading some to ask whether it went beyond incompetence and involved some level of collusion with the far right.
While the case is provoking a wave of soul-searching in the German media, the country is far from alone in facing a far-right threat.
Blog sites supporting Norwegian mass-murderer Anders Behring Breivik include frequent reports and contributions from groups or individuals around Europe who glorify him or claim they wish to emulate his attacks that killed 69 people.
A neo-Nazi cell in Hungary is blamed for the killing of six members of the Roma minority.
Nazi-inspired parties have also enjoyed electoral success in some European countries hit by the economic crisis — notably Greece and Hungary. This weekend in Budapest the far-right Jobbik party organized a demonstration against a meeting of the World Jewish Congress in the Hungarian capital.
Paul Ames reported from Brussels.

Susan, Roy, Henry & Emma live in Iowa. It's summer, it's hot and they're bored. They do have bikes though, so they take off exploring. They really don't expect to have much happen, but riding bikes is at least more interesting than sitting on the porch bored and hot. Imagine their surprise when they find a mysterious brick wall rising up out of the middle of a cornfield.
The kids try to think of all the different reasons the wall might be there. Thinking about this is at least interesting and something to do, but the sun is still hot. The kids are hot. The kids are thirsty. One of them wishes for a root beer float and suddenly the kids find themselves transported to a diner…serving root beer floats! Now this is a discovery!
Through trial and error the kids figure out the rules that make the wishing wall work. They find that they can wish their way through time or space. Each friend takes a turn making a wish and crazy adventures follow. Whenever magic is concerned, it's always important to keep in mind, "be careful what you wish for!" I thought it was a nice change of pace to read a magical story where the fate of mankind doesn't hang in the balance…a kind of magic that makes a root beer float appear when you really need one!
In the story, the kids like the Edward Eager Half Magic series of books. These are real books that you can read too. In the Hal f Magic books, bored kids find a magic coin. The problem with the coin is you only get half your wish, so lots of crazy adventures happen. Author: Laurel Snyder

Hotels in Roquetas de Mar
Accommodations in Roquetas de MarClose to Almería, the municipality of Roquetas del Mar counts eight beaches along the length of its coast, of which the best equipped is that belonging to the Urbanización de Roquetas del Mar. Also well-known are Playa de la Serena, that adjoins the golf courses, and Aguadulce, whose town is considered a tourist interest. These are the most visited, offering the EUs Blue Flag standard and a mountain of tourist services.
A few beaches are less accessible and dont have the infrastructure for beach tourism, but they remain pleasant to visit: these include Playa de los Bajos and Rompidillo, a windy beach accessible by an earth path between Roquetas del Mar and Aguadulce. Playa de los Cerrillos is another of these isolated beaches: found in the protected surroundings of Punta Entinas Sabinar, one can visit the nature reserve there. In Playa de las Salinas or Los Baños one can enjoy windsurfing.
All the beaches of Roquetas del Mar are a mix of sand and gravel that not everyone finds pleasant, and some kind of wading shoe is recommended.
Apart from the beaches, one of the areas great attractions is the municipality of Roquetas del Mar, a place whose corners transport you to the epoch of Al-Andalus. You can visit the castle and the fortifications of this era, the watch towers, the archeological deposits, the rock cave, and the Indalo, a rock formation converted into the symbol of the city. And not to forget the Reef Barrier of Posidonia: it has been catalogued as a Natural Monument and is one of the few prairies of Posidonia [a flowering sea grass] left in the Mediterranean.
Every night at the foot of the Castillo de Santa Ana you can see free street shows with music of every kind.
Close to the castle and the Puerto Deportivo is a multitude of restaurants and ice-cream shops that remain open late in summer.
Being a family-oriented tourist site, there arent many discoteques: there are a few near the Plaza of Bulls, but it is not a site in which they proliferate, therefore limiting night time activities to the mall or the cinema, or to enjoying the restaurants and the proximity of the beach.

Do you feel richer or poorer after four years under Labour? With another Budget gone and an election expected in May, voters are taking stock of what the first Labour government for nearly two decades has done for their finances.
Labour was desperate to shed its 'tax and spend' image, and pledged not to raise the basic or top rates of income tax. But while these may not have gone up over the four years - indeed the basic rate is down from 23 to 22 per cent - the Government is collecting more tax than in 1997.
Revenues can rise for reasons other than individuals having to pay more. But there is a consensus among analysts that some of us really are handing over a greater proportion of our incomes than we did.
The winners have been poorer families and elderly people. The losers are middle-income earners, particularly the childless, although their pain has probably been masked by a healthy economy and pay rises.
The difference between old Labour and new is the way that we are taxed. Gordon Brown has withdrawn various reliefs such as mortgage interest, the Married Couple's Allowance - only partially restored by the new Children's Tax Credit - and increased the cost of paying for a private pension by taxing pension funds.
Parents may even see the full withdrawal of student grants under Labour and the arrival of tuition fees as back-door taxation.
The independent Institute for Fiscal Studies is analysing the full effects of five Labour Budgets, including last week's, but researcher Michal Myck says: 'The general picture is easy to formulate - lower-income families with children have certainly gained. Pensioners have gained substantially.'
But while the Conservatives are keen to promote the idea that middle England has been hit by a slew of 'stealth' taxes, the institute suggests this is an over-simplification.
The effect of Brown's changes vary greatly according to individual circumstances. For example, a single taxpayer without a mortgage gained from cuts in direct taxes, mainly income tax. Scrapping mortgage interest tax relief has hit all homeowners with loans. Smokers and car owners lost out as a result of big increases in duties.
An analysis carried out before last week's Budget, which took into account changes in direct and indirect taxation, showed that the poorest 10 per cent of households were, on average, 8.8 per cent better off from all the measures introduced after May 1997.
'Further deciles gain proportionately less on average, and the richest 30 per cent of households experience a fall in post-tax income once all the reforms are considered,' said the IFS.
The poorer households gain mainly from increases in benefits for those out of work and the introduction of the Working Families' Tax Credit for those in work.The loss of income for richer households comes from rises in National Insurance and the abolition of mortgage tax relief and the Married Couple's Allowance.
However, within most income groups, even the poorest, there are losers as well as winners. Among the poorest 10 per cent, for example, 2.9 per cent were more than £10 a week worse off. Among the richest, 1.7 per cent were more than £10 a week better off.
Two-earner couples with children gain less than other types of families with children as they are least likely to benefit from the Working Families' Tax Credit and income support allowances, and are most likely to see the Children's Tax Credit withdrawn. Non-earning couples with children gain most: on average, £18.70 per week.
According to the IFS's initial conclusions about the overall effect of last week's measures, the position of people towards the top end of the income scale - but not the wealthiest 10 per cent - will have improved.
The improvement to pensioners' incomes results from increased age-related income tax allowances, increased income support, winter fuel allowances and retention of the Married Couple's Allowance for those born before 6 April 1935. On average, a single pensioner household has gained £6.10 and a pensioner couple £4.20 a week.
Despite the obvious efforts the Chancellor has made to redirect resources, there are concerns about some of his set-piece changes. A strong theme has been a move towards increased means-testing, particularly for pensioners. The institute reckons that by 2003 the average single pensioner will gain £9.68 a week from the package of measures foreshadowed by the Chancellor in his November 2000 Pre-Budget Report, and confirmed last week.
The average couple should pocket £11.05. The extra money comes from above-inflation rises in the basic state pension in 2001 and 2002; above-inflation rises in the means-tested Minimum Income Guarantee - which tops up the basic state pension in low-income pensioner households - in each of the next three years and, from April 2003, the new pension credit, designed to reward saving for poorer pensioners.
By 2003 the average incomes of the poorest 10 per cent of pensioners should be up by more than 20 per cent, according to the IFS.
Its researcher, Tom Clark, says: 'The Government is diverting significant extra resources to pensioners. But its basic strategy is still to extend means-testing.' The IFS fears that this could discourage younger people from saving.
This view is supported by an Institute of Actuaries analysis, which concludes that means-testing leads to people who reach retirement with small savings having to pay high marginal tax rates. It also discriminates against women, because they are less inclined to claim for their entitlements yet are among the poorest pensioners.
The actuaries conclude that means-testing and the poorer returns likely on money put aside for old age are 'likely to make saving for a pension considerably less attractive for increasing numbers of people'.
They suggest that a higher basic state pension may be preferable to means-testing, as it would do more to encourage saving.
The charity Age Concern, long opposed to means-testing, is continuing to campaign for a substantial increase in the basic state pension, and for it to go up in line with average earnings, rather than prices.
There is concern, too, that reforms aimed at low-income families are missing their tar get. The National Association of Citizens Advice Bureaux has criticised the Working Families Tax Credit, pointing out that some employers are refusing to employ people entitled to it because of the high cost of the the bureaucracy involved in paying the money. In one case a single parent was dismissed from her part-time job when WFTC had to be paid through her pay packet.
Parents complain that once they receive the benefit it means they lose free school meals and help with rent and council tax.
The Government's emphasis on lower-income groups seemed to be called into question 24 hours after last week's Budget by a report into poverty across Europe, which found that more than 5 million Britons are living at levels thought to exist only in the developing world.
But poverty is concentrated among lone parents, where households may have missed out on the work-ori ented means-tested benefits Labour has introduced.
Despite the shortcomings of some of these changes, their general thrust has been welcomed by the Child Poverty Action Group. Its director, Martin Barnes, says: 'In the last two years we have seen a fairly significant shift in resources towards poorer families with children.'
Even if the Conservatives' claims about stealth taxes are exaggerated, there has been some pain for Middle England. Around 20 per cent more people are paying income tax at the 40 per cent tax rate now than when Labour came to office. This is mainly because earnings have risen more quickly than the higher-rate threshold.
Accountant PricewaterhouseCooper points out that the starting rate is now barely one and a half times' average earnings.
From the new tax year, someone earning just under £34,000 will be a higher-rate taxpayer. Yet an income like this probably wouldn't support a mortgage large enough for a flat in London; financial well-being isn't just about tax.
Ian Brinkley, senior economist at the Trades Union Congress, says that, for the moment, means-testing is extending far enough up the income scale - higher rate taxpayers can get the Children's Tax Credit, for example - for it not to have become offensive.
But Brinkley says: 'If you don't have universality [of benefits] will the middle classes get fed up? Will higher-rate taxpayers say, "Enough is enough. Why should I pay for universal benefits which I can't get?"'
Middle England, as repre sented by teachers, nurses, policemen and other members of the salaried classes, may begin to wonder why people much higher up the income scale are being left relatively unscathed.
Labour has not so far targeted the super-rich. Despite long-running rumours that such moves were coming, there has been no move to cut back on inheritance tax breaks, or higher rate relief on pension contributions. Such moves could, of course, upset the moderately well off as much as the super-rich.
Patrick Stevens, tax partner at accountant Ernst & Young, agrees that a disproportionate amount of pain is probably being felt by people in the £12,000 to £30,000 a year income bracket. Someone earning £100,000 a year has experienced the same changes but will barely notice them.
Middle-income earners have not benefited from the big gains in income seen by people in some industries, such as technology.
'A big chunk of people aren't going to do that [sort of thing] in their lives and have suffered increased tax.'

When people refer to advertising in terms of advertising specialty business this basically refers to promotional products or advertising specialties. In deals with the imprinting of information or brand name on thousands of products or websites that will help promote a business or the type of products or service this business deals in.
The two main associations that support the business of advertising specialty are profit and non-profit associations. The non-profit association is the founder of the advertising specialty industry the Promotional Products Association International (PPAI), and the second is a profit-oriented business named Advertising Specialty Institute (ASI).
The advertising specialty business has actually been around for a long time now, for the PPAI was established in 1903 and was originally called the Advertising Specialties. It has now evolved tremendously and today is a very active and flourishing part of the advertising market. The fast expansion of the advertising specialty business is also due to a great influence from the international scene and the access to Internet. Those who have been in advertising market usually refer to advertising specialty directly for one can safely affirm that it was the precursor to all advertising trends and is still running strong.
To understand the advertising specialty industry it is important to know how the advertising market works. Basically, the advertising industry is split into two categories, which are the companies that supply products and those who distribute the finished product. When the companies produce a product they imprint it with a promotional message. Although the companies that produce the product are not selling it directly to the public, they are selling it indirectly through the imprinted message. The distributors must be well-acquainted with the product they are distributing to the public and are required to create ideas for the promotion of these products according to the type of messages and budget the producing company wishes to convey through these products. So in fact, the distributors will be those promoting and selling the product directly to the customers.
Therefore the two major roles in the advertising industry are taken by the suppliers, which include the manufacturer or importer and the distributors who sell the product. The ASIs role in both the manufacturing and distribution of a product is to provide the print and electronic resources in order to market the products and hand them over to the sales people or distributors. On the other side, the distributor will use the ASI print and its electronic resources in order to find firms that supply finished products so they can market their services directly to the customers.
The ASI and PPAI have the role of introducing both the manufacturers and distributors by using different tools such as information directories, catalogs, magazines and newsletters. Websites and databases are also used to offer more interactive choice of selling tools, e-commerce and Internet marketing.
Advertising specialties can be a very useful way to market your product as can promotional freebies given to attract customers.

Video of Ab Exercise Using an Exercise Ball
Get on the Ball: Ab Crunch Ball Pass
This exercise is proof you can work your abs without doing crunches. It is actually relaxing while being an extremely effective ab toner. Since your head stays on the floor, this ab move doesn't strain your neck at all. Plus, you get a little inner thigh bonus by squeezing the ball between your legs.
For details, keep reading.
- Lie on your back with your feet on the floor and knees slightly bent. Hold an exercise ball in your hands with your arms extended overhead so they're parallel with the floor. Press your lower back into the floor and try to keep it this way throughout the exercise. Scoop your abs toward your spine to help.
- Lift your legs off the floor and transfer the ball from your hands to your feet, squeezing the ball with your ankles to keep it from falling. Then lower your arms and legs toward the floor.
- Lift your feet and arms up, and transfer the ball back to your hands. Bring the ball overhead as you lower your feet to the floor. Keep your knees bent, or for more of a challenge, keep your legs straight.
- Continue passing the ball back and forth as many times as you can.
If you loved this move, try the ab rollover.

Report: Wake Forest homicide victim found with bag on head, hammer nearby
Posted November 2, 2015
Wake Forest, N.C. — Police have released new information about a Wake Forest woman who is believed to have been killed by her husband.
Just after 10 p.m. on Oct. 27, officers with the Wake Forest Police Department responded to 4411 Iyar Way to check on the welfare of Stephanie Autry after speaking with the nanny who cared for Autry's 3-year-old son.
In a call to police, the nanny said that Autry's son was supposed to be dropped off at his Wake Forest home at 3 p.m. but that Autry had not responded to any calls or text messages since 1:20 p.m.
"I've called her, I've texted her, and I'm really worried because I have her child," said the nanny during the call.
The nanny said that she later received an iCloud message from Autry saying that her phone was damaged and needed to be replaced and another message at 3:29 p.m. saying, "I hope you're not on your way home."
The nanny said that was unusual behavior for Autry, who worked as an intensive care nurse at Duke University Hospital.
Officers who responded to the home found that a window at the back of the house had been broken. They used a key given to them by the nanny to get inside and found Autry's body behind a locked bathroom door.
According to a search warrant, Autry was found with a plastic bag over her head and a blanket covering her body. A hammer and a sweatshirt that appeared to have bloodstains on it were found near the bathroom.
Following Autry's death, a nationwide search was issued for her husband, Lanson Paul Stalf. Stalf, who had recently been released from prison for robbing a PNC Bank in Wake Forest, was captured on Oct. 30 in Batesville, Miss., after he checked into a hotel using his real name.
In the call to police, Autry's nanny said that she had been told by Autry that Stalf was staying at the home and had struggled with drugs.
Authorities said that Stalf would be charged with murder after being extradited back to Raleigh.
