Small fan, good performance Being used in a long narrow hall outside of a bathroom (think extra moisture) to keep the air circulating. Previous fan had 5 blades and did seem to move a bit more air. That being said, it has been in use 24/7 for about a year and doing a very good job. As noted by others the light was dim, but I am now using a higher wattage LED bulb, which draws far less power and is brighter and cooler. We did have it installed by an electrician so cannot attest to ease of installation, though it seemed to be pretty straight forward. Perfect for the tight space we have.

Quiet, modern with clean lines The fan came well packaged. The assembly instructions could have been clearer, especially the identification of parts. The instructions did not clearly identify what parts were needed for flush installation. The completed fan is exactly what I hoped.

Great fan We were really pleased with this fan. tHough small in stature, which is what we needed, it does an excellent job moving the air. We have installed it in the entrance area of our kitchen and really helps to pull the air through and push the air conditioned air down from the ceiling providing a cooler space.

Ceiling Fan This ceiling fan is used in an apartment kitchen. We added a ceiling medallion which enhances the look and makes the fan appear larger than it is. The fan is small, but works well in a small space. The only thing that I don't like is the light. It is a very dull light, so if you need it for the lighting this isn't the fan for you.

Can this be flush mounted? What material are the blades made from? Thanks.
Hello lizor, yes, this can be flush mounted, the provided blades are made of wood. Thanks for shopping with us!
So, if th major complaint is hat the light is so dim, has anyone had improvements by putting in a brighter/higher amp bulb?
Hello globalkim, thank you for your inquiry. We appreciate the fact that you want a firsthand account of the product. We will leave the question on the site so that others may respond to your question. You will receive an email notification every time you get a response.
Hi there, What is the exact blade dimension?
Thank you for your question, Mistressable. The blades on the Transitional 28-inch Ceiling fan in Brushed Nickel are approximately 10.5 inches l x 6.25 inches w. Have a great day.
Can the light be switched out for one with a higher wattage bulb?
Hello mrmoose13, no, the maximum wattage for the Transitional 28-inch Ceiling fan in Brushed Nickel is 40 watts. Please feel free to contact us again with any further questions. Thank you for shopping with us!
Can this fan be installed on a slightly sloped ceiling?
Hello glyptodon, unfortunately this item is out of stock. We currently do not have inventory to check, and cannot guarantee the item will be restocked. Thank you for shopping with us.
Please what is the voltage rating on this fan? I need a 30 inch fan or lower that works with 220-240 v
Thank you for your question obish. With the fan only it is 120v / 60 HZ 0.35A 42 W and the fan with the light kit is 120v / 60 HZ 0.70A 85 W. Have a great day.
Is the light dimable?
Hello kmcrrbb1, Yes, this light will work with an dimmer. The light needs to be hardwired, and professional installation is recommended. Thank you for shopping Overstock.com; have a great day!
What do you consider a medium base bulb? Presently use the same size you would find in a standard lamp. Also, could this bulb be purchased in an LED? If so that should solve the amount of light problem. Thanks!
Hello flsparrow, Lighting can become very confusing, however to answer your question, yes, you can use an LED if it has an medium base. Medium base and Standard base are the same thing, it is how the bulb attaches or screws into the socket. With an medium base bulb you have several options to choose from because of the wattage that they come in. The bulb does create a lot of heat and so it is important to not put to high of a wattage in a light that may generate too much heat. An LED can also be used, that will produce more light with less heat. We hope that this helped answer your question. Thank you for shopping Overstock.com; have a great day!
can this fan be flush mounted to the ceiling and if so what is the distance from the ceiling to bottom of light?
Thank you for your question charliechocolate. Yes, this fan can be flush mounted. The distance from the ceiling to the bottom of the light is approximately 14 inches. Have a great day.
Is there an extension rod for this fan?
Thank you for shopping with us landcruszer. We do not have an extension rod but you would be able to find one in your local home improvement store. Have a great day.
Is a remote available for purchase with this fan?
Hello avgal, and thanks for your interest in the Transitional 28-inch Ceiling fan in Brushed Nickel, Unfortunately, this does not come with a remote control. I hope this helps and thanks for shopping with us.
Can this fan be flush mounted or mounted without the down-rod?
Thank you for shopping with us robinnyc. Yes the rod is optional. Have a great day.
What is the material the blades are made of? Using fan in a small bathroom with sm. window and need a material which will withstand some humidity, not a fiberboard type subtsnace. Thank you
Thank you for your question robinnyc. A medium base size B or C type (shape) CFL bulb will fit this light fixture. The provided fan blades are made from wood. We do not recommend using this fan in a bathroom. It is not made for wet environments – you will have issues with the blades and possibly the finish, as well in a moist environment like a bathroom.
Can a compact fluorescent bulb fit in the light?
Thank you for your question homeown. Unfortunately, at this time, the information is not available. As the information becomes available, the site will be updated, have a great day.
Can the fan be installed without the light fixture?
This fan can be installed without the light kit if desired. Thank you for your question
may i ask the measurment from the ceiling to the bottom of the light please
The measurement from the ceiling to the bottom of the light is approximately 18 inches.
Is it safe to put a higher watt bulb in? Can any damage result?
I would only use the recommended wattage. I have broken 2 of my items before because I dident use the wattage the item stated.
Is there a way to use a brighter bulb-this is not enough light for a small kitchen.
You can put a higher wattage bulb in it if you would like to.

How to Install a Ceiling Fan in Your Bathroom
Unlike the ceiling fan in your living room that circulates the air with rotating paddles, a bathroom fan features a motorized unit that vents stuffy bathroom air out of the room. A bathroom fan may be an individual unit, or you may purchase a unit that combines bathroom lighting and a fan. If you're installing a new bathroom fan or just replacing the old fan light, here are a few steps to help you get it done right.
Ceiling Fan Buying Guide
When it's hot outside, it can get downright uncomfortable inside your home. A simple breeze created by a ceiling fan is the solution for cool, natural comfort. They can be energy-efficient alternatives to the high costs involved in operating your other cooling systems for hours on end, and they provide instant relief because you can feel the breeze they create. This ceiling fan buying guide explains your options, so you can find the right one for your home.
How to Buy a Ceiling Fan
With its low electrical cost, a ceiling fan is a very efficient cooling solution for the home. Indoor ceiling fans use about as much energy as a 100-watt light bulb and can greatly reduce your home cooling expenses. The cooling effects of a ceiling fan not only save you money but let you keep your windows open longer, allowing more fresh air into your home. A ceiling fan can also be used, if it has a reverse mode, to help defray heating costs in the winter. With all of these benefits, there's no reason not to find the best ceiling fans for every room in your home. Read on for suggestions that will help you buy ceiling fans for your home.
Why You Need a Ceiling Fan
The heat of summer is something you can look forward to, something you can dread or something you can learn to love -- but it's not something you can easily avoid. Ceiling fans are a throwback to lazy days, and the comfort a good ceiling fan provides can be depended on in any climate. Whether you're a lover or a hater of hot weather, or you simply dislike stagnant air, read on to find out why you need a ceiling fan.

Read the following instructions carefully and always refer to the ceiling fan manufacturer's instructions for installation.
How to Change the Look of Your Ceiling Fan
Whether your ceiling fan is outdated or just too plain for your home, you can easily make changes to it that will give it new life. To avoid switching out your entire ceiling fan fixture, focus on changing the look of the blades or the light covers. Here are a few tips for giving your ceiling fan a facelift.
Buying Ceiling Fans for Your Living Room

Buying Fans for your Family Room
Keep your home cool during the hottest weather when you buy durable fans for your family room.

No matter which style you like best, you can buy ceiling fans that fit the size and decor of your room. Read on for tips on buying fans for your family room.
How to Choose a Ceiling Medallion
A ceiling medallion brings instant drama to a room. Ceiling medallions were once quite common in homes, and they have come back into favor. Typically, ceiling medallions are used to support ceiling fans and light fixtures, but most homeowners select them for their decorative value. When choosing a medallion, your architectural design, interior design theme and the type of ceiling light you select all play a part.
Lighting Buying Guide
The right lighting and ceiling fans are not only more efficient and cost effective, but they also accentuate the personal style of your home. This lighting buying guide is designed to assist you in choosing the right fixtures to furnish your home.
How to Choose Kitchen Lighting
It is easy to overlook the importance of lighting when decorating your kitchen. You spend all that time picking out the best cabinets and appliances and then stick with the same flickering fluorescent fixture that came with the house. Kitchen lighting and ceiling fans can do more than just illuminate your kitchen; they can also decorate as well as accent the best parts of your kitchen design.
Best Bedroom Lighting Ideas
Decor trends come and go, but your bedroom lighting should transcend the look-of-the-moment to suit your bedroom's various functions. When planning bedroom lighting design, consider the space's natural lighting first, and then determine which parts of the room benefit most from general lighting, task lighting, accent lighting and ceiling fans.
Home Lighting - Lamp Design
Add style and warm light to your decor with the perfect lamp for your bedroom, hallway or living room. There's no need to sit in the dark when you can brighten up corners with unique lamps and stylish lighting and ceiling fans or snuggle in with good book by the light of your bedside lamps. This guide will provide you with tips on finding the perfect lamp designs for your home.
Tips on Buying Light Fixtures for Your Kitchen
Make your kitchen a warm, comfortable room with the right lighting and ceiling fans. Since you spend a lot of time in your kitchen preparing and eating meals together with your family, you'll want this type of home lighting to be bright enough to see ingredients but cozy enough to make this room a fun gathering place. Whether you want kitchen ceiling lights to save space or kitchen pendant lights that add a bit of color and style to the room, the following tips will help you to find kitchen lighting that works well in your home. Read on for tips on buying light fixtures for your kitchen.
How to Hang a Curtain Rod from the Ceiling
Hanging a curtain rod from the ceiling is an innovative and simple way to add drama to any room. This method can make ceilings appear higher, add interest to otherwise boring windows or act as a room divider with the right curtains. Whether you want a double curtain rod for hanging layered curtains, a wooden curtain rod for a rustic vibe or an iron curtain rod for a traditional look, the following suggestions will help you install the right rod and hardware.
How to Decorate With Paper Lanterns
Whether you prefer the cool sophistication of track lighting and ceiling fans or the eclectic, bohemian approach of handcrafted lamps and lighting, lighting design sets the tone and vibe of your home decor. With the wide diversity of home lighting styles available it can be challenging to choose which style you like the most. Paper lanterns, with all their many colors, patterns and sizes, offer a versatile choice for any room in your home. Decorating with paper lanterns adds form and function to your space. Check out the following ideas to create the perfect mood with paper lantern lighting in your home.
How to Install Recessed Lighting in Kitchens
Recessed lighting enhances your kitchen design with additional light. When used along with other lighting and ceiling fans, recessed lighting adds another dimension of light to a room where you can use as much light as you can get while you chop vegetables or check to see if your roast is cooking perfectly. Although it's not difficult to install recessed lighting in the kitchen, you will need access to the attic over the kitchen in order to install and wire the lights with ease. Here are a few simple steps to install your own recessed kitchen lights.
How to Install Recessed Lighting above a Shower
Adding a recessed light above the shower provides welcome illumination while showering. Recessed bathroom lighting is perfect for the ceiling above the shower because it does not take up any space over head. A special moisture-resistant bathroom light fixture is required in the shower because the area is subject to so much moisture and humidity. You may replace an existing light fixture or install a new fixture after an electrician runs the necessary wiring. Choose a simple recessed light or select a light-and-heat-lamp combination or a light-and-fan combination.
Tips on Using Fans
Indoor climate control is important wherever you live, and fans can help you maintain the optimum temperature in your home or office. There are many types of fans available, so be sure to pick the best one for you. To keep your home or office cool and your fan working properly, follow these tips on using and caring for your fans.
How to Choose a CPU Fan
Whenever your computer needs to perform calculations it relies on the central processing unit (CPU), often referred to simply as the processor. When the CPU is in operation it generates heat, so it must rely on computer components such as a CPU fan and heat sink combination to adequately dissipate the heat. Without a CPU fan the processor will quickly overheat and become useless. If your computer's CPU has been running too hot, choose a new CPU fan that provides better airflow.

Review: The Singleton of Glendullan
Posted by Arctic Wolf on January 10, 2013
About two years ago Diageo launched a new (what I am going to term) "entry level" 12 year old Single Malt Scotch from the Glendullan Distillery (in Dufftown) called The Singleton of Glendullan. The malt is part of their Classic Malts Selection, and is produced from spirit aged in both European Sherry Oak casks and American Bourbon Oak casks. I first encountered this Single Malt at a local Food and Wine event two years ago, and I was impressed enough to buy a bottle for myself, and one for a friend that Christmas. My bottle was sipped slowly over time and has long since disappeared; but fortunately for me, I was recently given another bottle to review on my website by the Northern Alberta Diageo Marketing Rep.
Here is an excerpt from that review:

Fat Quarterly Patchwork Quilt Top
30 comments:
So glad to know you are able to get back to doing what you love. My Mom tore her rotator cuff, and for her, and getting back to rotary cutting was painful and difficult. On the plus side, doing something you enjoy is great physical therapy! :-)
I think your "back in the groove" quilt is great. The simple construction showcases the fun fabrics you collected. I love the mix!
Keep at it, and be sure to give us a peek when you get it back from the quilter.How refreshing to see a man that likes to quilt and using that talent to bless his children and family with such amazing quilts!
I haven't really done any of these contests but was excited that Moda was offering this Progressive Dinner one, just so I could meet all your talented people, new blogs are fun to check out. Thanks! Lynn

River Maps: Nelson River/Lake Winnipeg
This one covers the Nelson River and Lake Winnipeg watershed, which includes the mighty Saskatchewan River. I thought about breaking the Saskatchewan off into its own spread, but couldn't see much advantage other than being able to name the map after something more recognizable than the Nelson River, which flows through the minimally-populated north.
This map features the following rivers, creeks, forks (etc.): Nelson, Burntwood, Saskatchewan, Battle, Red Deer, Swift Current, Oldman, Bow, Berens, Bloodvein, Winnipeg/Rainy/Seine, English, Assiniboine, Qu'Appelle, Souris, Red & Bois de Sioux, Red Lake, Sheyenne.

Mother India
The late morning sun blazes overhead as the dancing partners face off on the dry river bed. Standing tall and straight across from each other, he begins by bowing deeply and gracefully to his would-be-bride and waits anxiously for her reply. She hesitates and then demurely turns her head to the side with her eyes cast to the ground, signaling for him to begin. He raises his right leg and slams it hard to the ground as the dust begins to whirl around them. Then, in a feat of acrobatic majesty he leaps in the air and soars several feet above her head with his arms outstretched beckoning her towards him before he lightly touches back down on the ground. She responds by rising almost as high and letting out a cry as she reaches her apogee. There is so much riding on his next turn: he jumps high and twirls around in a full circle before coming back to face her as he lands. She bows her long neck and leaps again, grey feathers fluttering on the windless plain. And so it was as I saw the cranes dancing in the early summer sun just below the Taj Mahal. The spirit of Shah Jahan and his Mumtaz so permeates this place that the cranes continue to dance as the lovers did in these gardens so many hundreds of years ago. Or perhaps the humans just did the same dance as the cranes have always done - an age-old dance that transcends species, class and kingdom.
From the moment one steps off the plane, India overwhelms the senses. Within her borders I have witnessed some of the most beautiful and some of the most tragic scenes I have ever encountered on my travels. From tigers on the prowl at Corbett to a roadside drama in which a driver chose to sacrifice the lives of a woman and her child instead of that of a cow, India tempts you to revel in her beauty and then rebukes you when you come too close. She is a harsh mistress, but one to whom you return time and again for comfort.
My experience of food in India spans the range of possibilities: from dining in good restaurants to Kashmiri takeout around intricately inlayed octagonal tables in someone's home, to a lunch lovingly prepared by a friend to tea with bread and pickles in a country garden with peacocks strutting and rattling their tail feathers on the walls around us. Food is everywhere and the experience of sharing a meal held in high regard across the classes, castes and peoples of India.
Far and away the most surprising meal I've ever had in India was on the Delhi-Agra train. Dinner on the train - train food - served in disposable aluminum containers that are kind of hefted at you as the waiter walks by your seat. Growing up in New York, one becomes used to good food sometimes being available in strange, inelegant surroundings. Still, on the train, where passengers roughly push past each other to quickly get to their reserved seats, I was not expecting to be served the best Lamb with Onions (do Piaz) I had ever had. To say that this curry was good was an understatement, the meat was buttery and the onions dripped off the fork into the dark, spicy, cumin and clove-laden sauce.
Interestingly, what we so blithely call "Indian cuisine" today is really the product of thousands of years of cultural evolution, foreign contact and trade from far-away shores. Archaeological evidence from the early Indus Valley civilization reaching back nearly 5000 years shows that beef, eggplant and sesame were important parts of the early Indian diet with development of the basic concepts of Ayurvedic dietary practices taking place at this time. Briefly, Ayurvedic practices divide foods into six tastes - sweet, sour, salty, pungent, bitter, and astringent. It also assigns specific roles to ingredients and their combinations to cure the ill and preserve health and balance. Towards the end of the Indus period, differences began to develop between northern and southern cuisines as more people migrated south and as we move into the Harappan civilization, evidence for the use and later cultivation of turmeric, cardamom, black pepper and mustard become more common.
During the Vedic period, major differences in the diet between the classes or castes also appeared, with vegetarianism popular amongst the Brahmin. Vegetarianism was further augmented by the rise of Buddhism in India around 600 BCE and spread of the religion across Asia over the next several hundred years, heightened cultural contacts with foreigners who traveled and traded along the Silk Road. Regular contact with Muslim traders was well established by around 1000 CE and a long period of Muslim rule began by 1300 that lasted until the mid-nineteenth century. Ibn Battuta the great Moroccan explorer of the 14th century describes a meal served to him by in the court of Mohammed Bin Tughluk - one of the Northern Sultans - that included flatbread; large slabs of mutton and lamb; round dough cakes stuffed with sweet almond paste and honey - like the halva that is still enjoyed at the beginning of some meals in Central Asia; meat cooked with ghee, onions and young ginger; triangular pastries made of meat, nuts, onions, and spices - like modern samosas; rice pilaf with chicken - possibly a biryani; and lots of sweets for dessert. Battuta also states that rice, oranges, wheat, chickpeas and lentils were widely cultivated.
Europeans arrived as early as 1498, with the Portuguese leaving elements of their cuisines - such as the use of vinegar and lots of onions all along the western and southern coasts of the country. New World produce such as tomatoes, potatoes and chili peppers were introduced at this time. During the Mughal dynasty (1526-1857), we see Persian elements such as the addition of nuts like almonds and cashews and fruits such as raisins, apricots and dried plums to Indian food as well as the rise of kebabs and a much wider use of saffron. So you see, the next time you bite into a samosa to enjoy its spiced potato and pea combination or the next time you eat a fiery vindaloo, know that you are enjoying thousands of years of history in addition to some really delicious food.
Whenever I arrived in India - passing through the mausoleum-like Gandhi airport on the way to somewhere else not included - I was usually coming in from a very rural area elsewhere on the subcontinent. Arriving in India always felt like going home to me. When friends met me at the airport, they always brought along garlands of flowered necklaces to welcome me. I'd turn my head to one side or another and revel in the fragrance of the flowers as we tooled around the city in an open jeep. Marigolds, tube roses and heavenly jasmine lay around my neck as I put up in my favorite hole-in-the wall hotel in Connaught to rest.
Fate or an unusually vengeful god always placed me in India before the rains liberated the country from its oppressive summer heat. Some mornings it would be 110 degrees Fahrenheit before the sun cleared the canopy and throughout the day, heat was likely to play tricks on your perception. One afternoon at Fatehpur-Sikri, the ancient Mughal capitol I was looking down on the giant pachisi (ludo) board from Akbar's vantage point and out of the corner of my eye, it seemed as if a courtier jumped a square out of turn. I wandered through the rest of the red-rock ruins but kept on circling back to the board to see if the game was still on. Although difficult, the times before the monsoon are filled with expectation: the expectation of rain, expectation of release and the expectation of renewed life. Unconsciously, people place many of their hopes on the renaissance that comes with the rain. People are not the only ones who hope for the rains though - the cranes do too.

The feet are flexible structures of bones, joints, muscles, and soft tissues that let us stand upright and perform activities like walking, running, and jumping. The feet are divided into three sections:
- The forefoot contains the five toes (phalanges) and the five longer bones (metatarsals).
- The midfoot is a pyramid-like collection of bones that form the arches of the feet. These include the three cuneiform bones, the cuboid bone, and the navicular bone.
- The hindfoot forms the heel and ankle. The talus bone supports the leg bones (tibia and fibula), forming the ankle. The calcaneus (heel bone) is the largest bone in the foot.
Muscles, tendons, and ligaments run along the surfaces of the feet, allowing the complex movements needed for motion and balance. The Achilles tendon connects the heel to the calf muscle and is essential for running, jumping, and standing on the toes.

A young woman who was 17 when she aborted "Baby A" spent several hours testifying in Dr. Kermit Gosnell's murder trial.
The prosecution says she was nearly 30 weeks in her pregnancy. And one of Gosnell's medical assistants, who had testified that late-term babies were routinely cut with scissors after delivery, said she was disturbed by the baby's size and pinkish color.
But defense lawyer Jack McMahon suggested that no babies survive after the drug digoxen is administered into the womb. The drug was used on the teen mother, according to her medical records, which also show her aunt paid $2,750 in cash for the abortion.
McMahon tried to show that the teenager also could have been earlier in her pregnancy.
Prosecutors believe she was well beyond the 24-week limit in Pennsylvania. Gosnell started a three-day outpatient procedure on the teen in 2008 in Delaware, where the limit is 20 weeks. The baby was delivered at his clinic in West Philadelphia.
The medical assistant, Andrienne Moton, has said she was so concerned by the baby's appearance that she took a cellphone picture of it. Moton said this week that late-term babies were routinely cut with scissors after delivery, and she acknowledged that she performed the technique at least 10 times.
McMahon asked the prosecution's medical expert if gestational age isn't an imprecise estimate, with a second-trimester range of about two weeks on either side.
"This isn't an exact science where two plus two equals four?" he asked Dr. Daniel Conway, a Philadelphia neonatologist with St. Christopher's Hospital.
Conway agreed that gestational age is an estimate, but said the estimate is based on a scientific calculation of a long list of variables that includes head size, femur length, skin development and the mother's last menstrual period.
Ultrasound records from Gosnell's clinic show three different measurements for the teen's fetus, two that suggested an age of 29 or 30 weeks, and a much smaller measurement that corresponds with a 24- or 25-week-old fetus. Prosecutors believe Gosnell took new measurements and overruled his staff when women wanted late-term abortions.
But McMahon suggested the doctor had more training than his staff—who allegedly lacked training and licenses for the work they did—and appropriately recalibrated their work.
Gosnell, 72, is charged with first-degree murder in the seven infant deaths, and third-degree murder in a patient's overdose death. He faces the death penalty if convicted in the infant deaths.
The jury of seven men and five women, along with five alternates, endured graphic testimony and photographs throughout the day, including one that showed an approximately 2-inch gash in the back of a baby's neck, where Moton said the babies were routinely "snipped" to "ensure fetal demise."
Conway testified that even premature babies, born in the second trimester, feel pain. He said doctors define them as "born alive" if there is a heartbeat. At that point, he said, they are treated as patients and, at a minimum, kept comfortable, even if they are deemed too young to survive.
As for viability, Conway said that babies with a gestational age of 27 to 30 weeks have an 85 percent chance of survival, and a low risk of serious disabilities. At 22 to 24 weeks gestation, the chances are not good, he said.
Conway was also asked about the collection of fetal feet found in jars at Gosnell's clinic. Moton told jurors that Gosnell kept them in cases where the family wanted DNA, perhaps for legal purposes. Investigators, though, have said they can't find any medical explanation for the macabre practice.
"There are alternate ways of preserving DNA," Conway said, "and the foot itself is a weak prediction of gestational age."

Difference between revisions of "PC-BSD® Releases/9.2"
m |
Drulavigne (Talk | contribs) m (moved PC-BSD Releases to PC-BSD® Releases) |
Revision as of 06:07, 23 August 2012
(Sorry for the inconvenience)
As of September 2008, PC-BSD release version numbers are the same as those for FreeBSD. When the first number of a release is followed by a zero (e.g. version 9.0), this means that this version of PC-BSD introduces many new features. When the second number of a release is not a zero (e.g. version 9.1), this means that the new version may have some new features, but it mostly fixes known software problems and security vulnerabilities. If a release includes the letters RC, this means that it is a "Release Candidate", or that the developers are still adding and fixing features and need testers to help them find any existing problems in preparation for the upcoming release. If the release includes the word BETA, it means that that version is still buggy and needs the help of testers to find as many problems as possible so that they can be fixed.
NOTE: if you want to use PC-BSD (not test it), you should install the most recent release (i.e. the one with the highest number), not a BETA or RC version.
The change logs for each PC-BSD release are available online:
PC-BSD releases follow the same EoL (end of life) schedule[4] as the underlying FreeBSD release. Any security patches for a supported release will appear in Update Manager, making it easy to keep your PC-BSD system fully patched against known security vulnerabilities.

NEWSPAPER OF THE SAUSH, PEND (TOREILLE AND KOOTENAI TRIBES OF THE FLATHEAD INDIAN RESERVATION, WESTERN MONTANA VOLUME 12 NUMBER 22 THE BUTTERCUP MONTH APRIL 1, 1984 'Native America' earns representation at state Democratic convention "This year for the first time, we can gain political power in only two hours!" the advertisement promised. Two weeks later, the promise was fulfilled as dozens of Native Americans converged at the courthouse in Poison to participate in Montana's first-ever caucus to begin selection of a Democratic presidential candidate. Thanks in large measure to the efforts of a newcomer to the Reservation, an SKC instructor by the name of Tom Smith, between 50 and 60 people (one estimate said more), including a group from Kicking Horse Job Corps, answered the challenge to see if the county's Indian population could earn a voice at the state's Democratic convention in May. As it happened, they earned two voices. From five state delegates allocated to Lake County, two will be Indian: Bear head Swaney and Kim Swaney Charlo. They will be representing a voter category called "no preference", meaning a vote of no confidence, so to speak, in any Democrat running for president this year. As delegates to the state convention, Swaney and Charlo will" have to be listened to as the only authentic voice for Native Americans," Smith explains in a fact sheet concerning the caucus process. Swaney and Charlo's appearance at the state convention could easily lead to their being selected to attend the national convention in California in July, where they'd serve as repre- (Concludes on the next page) ¦ ¦ Y % ">CMZ co

EDIT: Oh... just noticed... native only. Well then I would go for the original Unreal Tournament. Although DX uses the same engine it would have been possible to have a Linux client... but I think Loki had not been around back then.

I think you'll find that it was being ported by them...
What I'd been told by several parties at Loki that the code was almost to a beta stage when Loki pulled the plug on everything.
Indeed. Deus Ex is one of my favorite games ever... If they were to release a Linux version any time soon, based off that code, I would totally pay premium for it... even after all these years.
Indeed... especially since there are some nice mods out there like HDTP or NewVision ( HDTP = high definition texture pack, and NewVision adds things like dynamic shadow casting and alike ).
By the way... why exactly did they go down with man and mouse? They just got poof and that was it.
Loki did a series of BAD management decisions which were their own undoing. They actually had a decent selection of games, but had way too many projects going at the same time (Svartalf could probably elaborate much more and with greater detail than I), low sales rates, etc. Loki's game selection back in the day was top notch and included some of the greatest AAA titles of their time. UT99 was one of them, FAKK2, SoF 1, and they were working on DeusEx and many others.

text: I was raised on a farm and the culture of cruelty is not a thing I find surprising, howver, it is incomprehensible to me that rural men cosnider cruelty, ignorance and insensitivity to be necessary masculine virtues. Yes, it costs MONEY, and often a great deal of it, to provide "comfort" to livestock, but abject cruelty is definitely unnecessary in the rearing of livestock. And people actually DEFEND these cruel practices. I'm no "bleeding heart", but intentional ignorance and crueltyfor the sake of profit are simply evil and inhuman. I can't understand, either why any legislature would encourage the incarceration of anyone trying to expose and stop these cruelties, (unless, of course, they've been bribed by lobbyists in favor of industry... But that never happens, does it?)

Taking psilocybe mushrooms and MDMA (ecstacy) together. Actually regarded quite highly within the drug subculture. The effects rarely last longer than 8 hours. The effects of the MDMA lend a very upbeat feeling to the user, usually resulting in a positive mushroom trip. Because MDMA is a fairly "reliable" good high, but mushrooms aren't (there can be bad trips), the MDMA high helps to stabablize the mushroom trip.

Taking mushrooms and acid together, as these are the drugs the most connected to hippies. This is different than candyflipping which is lsd and mdma.

Taking extasy and mushrooms in a combination with each other. The tripp can last until the person goes to sleep(up to several days). Highly discouraged by most veteran drug users.
I've got a couple of tabs of x and a few shroom caps, do you want to go hippy flipping.

text: Newsday -- Gasoline increased by a penny a gallon on Long Island in the past week, and might rise further following an increase in crude oil prices on optimism that the "fiscal cliff" has been averted.Andy Lipow, president of Houston consulting company Lipow Oil Associates Llc, said traders are betting on improved consumer sentiment from the deal, which spares most Americans from sharp income tax hikes that would otherwise have occurred.But Lipow and Gene McGillian, an analyst and broker at Tradition Energy in Stamford, Conn., expect the rise in gas prices will be limited. They cite an increase in Social Security payroll taxes that the cliff deal allows, amounting to about $1,000 for a family earning $50,000 a year.

Purchase Reason
I bought the smallest size of this picture, so all of these comments are specific to that.
My only negative comment is that this picture was slightly too big for the frame that was the correct, advertised size. I trimmed the edges a bit to get it to fit and it looks fine. It was also shipped rolled up so needed to be pressed flat for a few days with heavy books.
On the plus side, the white border makes it look like it's already matted, so all I needed to do to hang it was put it in a black frame. It's a poster quality print, but that's as advertised.
I put the picture in a hallway where it fits perfectly in a small space and will coordinate with almost any decor because of the colors. It's also very reasonably priced! I'm very happy with the purchase.
Purchase Reason
Every single piece I have purchased with art.com has been wonderful. The prices are great, and the workmanship spectacular.
I have at least 10 pieces; some I had framed with Art.com, others I framed myself.
Selection is wide and varied.
Love this site!

Highland Park
Jackie Robinson Pkwy., Vermont Ave., Highland Blvd. bet. Bulwer Pl. and Cypress Hills St.
Directions via Google Maps
Conveniently located on a high plateau that straddles Queens and Brooklyn, Highland Park offers stunning views of Ridgewood Reservoir, the Rockaways, the Atlantic Ocean, and nearby cemeteries.
Acquired in pieces over time, the park took its present shape between 1906 and 1908, quickly became a popular spot among residents of both boroughs, and continues to play an important role in the community. Children's farm gardens act as hands-on classrooms, barbecue areas serve as meeting grounds for mass celebrations, and numerous tennis courts, baseball fields, handball courts, and basketball courts provide New Yorkers with safe, clean spots for athletic recreation.
The Ridgewood Reservoir located on the Brooklyn/Queens border in Highland Park, served as a backup water supply for the two boroughs until 1989. After the reservoir's closure, a landscape of woods and wetlands developed within the three basins. The pathway around the basins is heavily used by Brooklyn and Queens residents for walking and exercise. The reservoir boasts being home to more than 151 species of birds.

I love this case! The texture is smooth, soft, and durable. It stays clean and true to color. I wish there were more colors. I'd purchase one in every color.
The iphone paraphenalia business is huge, so I know many people have many choices. This is a leather slip case for the iphone 4 and 4S. It's a good fit and the openings are exactly where they should be. The sound quality when talking on the phone or listening to the speakers is fine. I feel ambivalent with the product overall, but as this is my first iphone, I may not have found the perfect protection for the way that I use the phone. Overall, the pink is very pink. So if you're not of the girly variety, the pinkness may be detracting. The edges of the case frame the retina display all the way up to the useable edges. Thus, when you are typing or scooting items from one homepage to another, the case gets in the way and becomes slightly annoying. It's a trivial nuisance, but one which may be frustrating because you can't get the end letters of the QWERTY keyboard without effort or multiple attempts. The magnets have posed no problems for me and the phone, so far. The case is sturdy, well made and snugly fitted to the device. It doesn't seem any more bulky than other cases that I've observed. It serves the purposes that I need, but I believe this will be quite user dependent. I would recommend it, but people may be displeased with it because it does not fit their pattern of usage. And this can only be determined by trying it out.
This was a pleasant surprise to me for the price listed. This covers the phone nicely without forcing it in, and has a good feel to it. I ordered several other cases at the same time, so I haven't used it yet, but will update this review if it doesn't work for me.
I like the way it feel In my hand. I know that I won't drop phone.
When I place a call, and you are put on hold, you look at the screen to see if you are still connected, and part of the case covers the spit on phone that keeps screen for viewing
I am truly enjoying my new case for my I Phone 4. I was worried that I would drop the phone and crack the screen. Now that I have this awesome case I have no more worries. I truly adore this case! I would recommend this to anyone. The color was not as bright as stated in other reviews I think the color is pretty. Great product!
It didn't fit my phone was too small so sent it back do hope I was given credit for the return
This phone case was a good purchase for me. I like the pink color (although it may be a little "pepto" for some people). I enjoyed the fact that the leather fully covers the phone (especially the screen), and it has saved my phone from damage more than once. The ability to charge the phone while in the case is a little difficult, so some may not like this aspect of this case, but if you are a female looking for something that will protect and has a different look to it, this is a good case.

Vaccine issue resurfaces in Montpelier
One of the surprise controversies of 2012 arrived at the Legislature in the form of a bill that sought to rescind the philosophical exemption invoked by hundreds of parents across Vermont to sidestep school vaccination requirements.
A grassroots coalition of well-organized citizens managed to quash the legislation, convincing lawmakers to adopt a watered-down version that made it only slightly more difficult to invoke the exemption.
One the top supporters of the 2012 bill, however, is renewing the push this year to address what he says are alarmingly low vaccination rates in pockets of the state.
Rep. George Till, a Jericho Democrat and the lone medical doctor in the Legislature, wants to remove both the philosophical and religious exemptions for the vaccination that prevents pertussis aka whooping cough. And at public schools where the vaccination rate drops below 90 percent, Till has a separate bill that would revoke the religious and philosophical exemptions for any vaccination.
Till says the pertussis problem is particularly acute, growing from 18 confirmed cases in 2010 to 645 in 2012.
And in 2012 that included four cases in infants, Till says. And while we got lucky and none of them died, the mortality rates for infants is 50 percent, so we really could have had a tragedy.
The second bill would take a school-by-school approach to the vaccination issue, eliminating the religious and philosophical exemptions only at public schools that fall below the 90 percent threshold. When rates for any single vaccination fell below that mark, Till says, his bill would require all current and prospective students to have the vaccine administered. Parents that didnt comply wouldnt be allowed to send their children to the school. Till says the bill preserves the medical exemption.
Rep. Mike Fisher, chairman of the House Committee on Health Care (on which Till also sits), doesnt sound keen on revisiting the vaccine issue.
He says the House dedicated a lot of time to the issue last year.
We addressed vaccinations last year, and I think we should give that law time to play out before coming back to it, Fisher says. I dont think were interested in taking it up at this time.

There is a world of difference between "anti-Semitism" and "anti-Israelism"
In a world of reasonable human beings there is no excuse for the former.
As for the latter, well, for those of us who are Americans, consider this scenario...
The United Nations, in an attempt to live up to its original mandate for ensuring peace, honor, and soverignty among the world's peoples, unilaterally creates the State of Lakota Sioux in the area of the United States currently known as Wyoming, Nebraska, and South Dakota. Recognized as a sovereign state, it immediately offers citizenship to all native Americans. Non-citizens are "requested" to relocate immediately, their property confiscated by the new state.
Just what sort of reaction would you expect to such a developement by U.S. citizens? Uh-huh; that's right.
Now, suppose the new Sioux nation began establishing settlements in parts of Iowa and Colorado. Is it really so difficult to imagine what good, "democratic" Americans might have to say about that?
Right now, I really doubt that most non-native Americans feel any hatred toward our indiginous people. But that would CERTAINLY change in such a situation. Yes, it's true that anti-Semitism has existed for centuries before the 1948 creation of the Israeli state, but that was more like the hatred between the Sunis and Shiites, the Hatfields and McCoys, the Sharks and the Jets. It was the world's (in the form of the U.N.) decision to enforce the sovereign state without regard for the existing populance that has created the current amimosity. And I really can't see that as being such an unreasonable attitude in light of what I feel would be the case in my own country should a situation such as I've described ever take place.
So what is the solution?
Well, that's why I'm just a schmuck writing an editorial as a comment on this blog and not a world leader. I don't know. But people who ARE world leaders -- assuming that they really WANT to resolve the issues, which is an assumption I'm not really prepared to make at this time -- need to concentrate more on promoting mutual honor, pride, acceptance of differences, forgiveness for wrongs that may (or may not) have occurred in the past, and a desire to work together to make life better for everyone instead of pretending that life for their own would somehow improve by eliminating the "other guy" from the face of the earth. Could I live with making my mortgage payment to Mr. Running Deer of the United Bank of the Sioux Nation instead of to Mr. Edmonson of B of A? Certainly. Who cares?... as long as he treats me with the same respect. In fact, I demand such respect and expect to receive it. On the other hand, I wouldn't expect such respect to be extended to me if I were advocating the elimination of Native American nation. You see, SOMEONE has to make the first move, UNILATERALLY, and then SOMEONE on the other side MUST accept the gesture and make a similar-but-further gesture, and so forth. Everyone knows this is so; it's just a matter of having such leaders in power at the same time. It has occurred before, of course. Remember England? You know, King George and the Colonies and all that. Biggest temper tantrum ever: the Revolutionary War. A bunch of commoners -- not a single peer among them -- declaring their independence from the greatest empire the world had ever known (well, at least that's what they thought in London). Not just one war, either; there was that little situation in 1812 that left the U.S. capitol in ruins and the president's mansions burnt to the ground. But by World War I we Americans were ready and anxious to send our sons, husbands, and lovers to their death to uphold Mother England's glory. We did it again a quarter-century later, and by the 1960s we were completely in love with everything British. There are 44 monarchies in the world, but we all "know" that The Queen is Elizabeth II and no one else. Is it really so far-fetched to imagine that the people of Israel and the people of Palestine could one day have a similar relationship?
Earlier, another commenter, MCCUERC, characterized (correctly) comments that I'd made as a fantasy. Well, THIS is the REAL fantasy. What do you think about it?
