Heidi, we'll sure miss having you blog here at IHP but I'm sure you've found a fabulous new home at Harlequin KISS! Hope to see you around soon 🙂
KISS is so exciting, but I'll miss Presents – it's been a ball writing for them (and reading them – which I'll still be doing, obvioulsy!)
Heidi, this book not just looks sizzling – it IS sizzling – and I should know because I have a copy in my hot little hand (hot cos it sizzles, obviously!).
You write page-turners with punch and I, for one – can't wait to read the gorgeous Zane's story.
Oooh, Sharon, you're so sweet to me… Zane's story is coming out as a KISS in June seemed kinda appropriate to start of my KISS life with a thoroughly good kisser as a hero!
Ooh I heart everything you write, Heidi, and will follow you everywhere!!! (Not in a stalker way…not really) Couldn't agree more about the awesomeness of writing for Presents Extra and the excitement of KISS. And of course, being the die hard reader of all the incredible Presents titles!
I (heart) Heidi and I do follow her around in kind of a stalkerish way. I even set off the alarm in her house!
But this story is a good way to say goodbye to Presents, and I shall stalk you over at KISS!
Ooh, I love sass and sex! Count me in as a stalker too!
Hmm. I hardly dare to raise my head amidst such distinguished company. But can I stalk Heidi too? I loved One Night, so Pregnant and like the look of Zane very much.
Hi Heidi,
I'm fanning myself after reading that little bit! They sound like fabulous characters, but then all of your characters are.
Good luck with Kiss.
Thanks guys.. And feel free to stalk away (as long as I can stalk you back!)
And Fiona, so glad you like the sound of Zane… One thing I can say for him, he's a real good kisser (appropriately).
Loved all your Riva/Presents books, Heidi, and I know I'm going to love this one too just as soon as I get my feverishly hot little hands upon it. As indeed I shall love your Kisses. (I mean the BOOKS, for goodness' sake.)
Love how your marvellous characters can pop up again in the next book!
Can't wait to read One Night So Pregnant and can't wait to read your first Harlequin KISS. Yay!!
I love a heroine who gives as good (and better!) as she gets. Would love to see him try to spank her. 8)
Looking forward to your first KISS, too, Heidi!
I loved this book! Any chance Zane will share his story in KISS, or is that not possible?
Ha Robyn, he would have lost his hand I think!!
And Jamie, so glad you enjoyed the story… And yes Zane's story will be appearing in Kiss in June 2013 titled Too Close for Comfort.
Heidi – I now must immediately go buy this one as I am hooked! Sounds amazing. And looking forward to your Kiss books!
Feisty, fiery, fabulous!
I'm in!
Can't wait to read your first KISS either Heidi, I'm sure it'll be a scorcher!
Strangers in Parenthood! Heidi Rice Discusses why "One Night, So Pregnant!" is her Perfect Goodbye Book for Presents Extra!
by Heidi Rice, author of One Night, So Pregnant! (Harlequin Presents Extra, December 2012)
Sadly One Night, So Pregnant!, my December Presents Extra, will be my last book for this fabulous line as I'll be moving to KISS next year… And while I'm super excited about the launch of the new line and my next book Too Close for Comfort (which is tentatively scheduled for June 2013) I'll really miss writing for Presents. So it seemed only fitting that I should attempt to go out with a Bang (no pun intended!). And I think One Night, So Pregnant! definitely delivers on that score (although of course I would say that as I'm the author). So here's your chance to be the judge. But seriously, all modesty aside this book was a joy to write for several very good reasons.
1) I Heart Accidental Pregnancies: Because they bring instant conflict to the story, especially if your characters are complete strangers, like Tess and Nate – when a close encounter in a restaurant closet leads to a commitment that is going to instantly change their lives and which neither one of them is remotely prepared for. Suddenly they have to step up to the plate and after several misunderstandings (because let's face it, these two do not know each other at all – except in the Biblical sense) they have to learn to trust each other… That turns out to be particularly hard for both of them, because they both have issues in their pasts that make trust a toughie. To be honest, like all prospective parents they both have a little bit
of growing up to do too, and ultimately it's great watching them do that together!
2). I Heart Linked Books: There's nothing more wonderful than having a character – in this case my heroine Eva's best friend Tess in The Good, the Bad and the Wild —turn up in a story and instantly be so interesting, so fascinating, so charismatic, so appealing, and so fabulously flawed that you know you are going to have to write their story. One Night is Tess's story, but it also gave me a fabulous secondary character in Nate's best friend and illegitimate (and as yet unacknowledged) half-brother Zane Montoya. A Mexican-American private eye with his own firm in Carmel, Zane is pivotal in this story – but he's also one of those drop-dead gorgeous guys who is so good-looking he can stop traffic – and make women drool. Guess whose story is featured in my first Kiss novel next year?
3). I Heart Hot Love Scenes: Tess and Nate just happened to be two characters whose sexual chemistry burned up the pages. Which is exactly why they ended up in that closet together before the start of the story. And precisely why it was so much fun to force them back together again in several confined spaces…. And then watch the fireworks ignite!
4). I Heart Sassy, Sexy Dialogue: Well, as it turns out both Tess and Nate had quite a lot to be sassy and sexy about (see points 1 & 3) and as a consequence of that, they have a LOT of sassy, sexy and extremely loud conversations… Because as it turned out they didn't just have a lot to say to each other, they also weren't remotely shy about saying it! Here's a little taster from a scene in Nate's lawyer's office when he tries to force Tess to except his support, and then realizes that Tess isn't someone who takes well to being
forced to do anything… Walter Jensen is Nate's elderly and very sensible attorney (who gets caught in the crossfire):
She directed her gaze at Jensen. 'My baby and I are not for sale.'
Jensen sent her a level look, his gaze narrowing. 'So there is still a child? Despite what you told my client a week ago.'
'Well, I…' She scrambled for something to say as she heard Graystone's foot thud against the floor, the tension in the room stretching tight. 'That's none of your business.' She glared at Nate, giving up on her decision to ignore him, and struggling to cling on to the righteous fury. 'And it's none of Graystone's business either,' she added with a bravado she suddenly didn't feel.
His brows had lowered in an accusing scowl as his fingers tightened into fists on the arms of the chair.
She turned her gaze back to Jensen, ignoring Nate's barely leashed show of temper. He could have all the hissy fits he wanted. She'd lied for the right reasons, precisely because she didn't want to be put in this exact position. She didn't have anything to feel guilty about.
'If the child is my client's,' the lawyer interrupted. 'Then I'm afraid it is his business and that also makes it my business.' Jensen watched her, his voice gentling again. 'Now why don't you sit down, Miss Tremaine, so we can all discuss this like rational adults.'
The careful words made Tess feel like an errant child, being censured by her father. The memory had foolish tears prickling the back of her eyelids. She drew in a sharp breath. No matter what, they were not going to see her cry.
'There's nothing to discuss,' she said in as placid a tone as she could manage while her insides were churning. 'I've told you, I don't need or want Graystone's money and I…'
Another vicious curse emanated from the corner of the room, ricocheting off the furniture and making everyone jump. Then Nate towered over her, rigid with fury.
'Stop calling me Graystone, goddamn it. The name's Nate.' He grasped her upper arm in long, strong fingers and hauled her towards him. 'As you damn well know or you wouldn't have been sobbing it in my ear when I had you on your kitchen counter a week ago.'
The shocked silence reverberated around the room as Tess wrestled her arm free. 'You bastard.' She shoved him hard in the middle of his starched white shirt as the hot blood of mortification pounded in her head and turned the tips of her ears vermillion.
How could he have mentioned that here? In front of a room full of his minions?
She rubbed her arm where the touch of his fingers still burned through the silk blouse she'd worn to the meeting so she'd look chic and sophisticated. Thanks to Nate Graystone, she now looked like a cheap little tart instead.
'Don't think that because you… You seduced me…' She blurted out, soldiering on when he gave a harsh incredulous laugh. 'That gives you the right to manipulate me into doing…'
'You have got to be kidding me,' he roared, bearing down on her again, his blue eyes sparking with fury. 'I'm manipulating you? Don't make me laugh. Exactly who was it who was wrapped so tight around me one minute I could hardly breathe, then was lying their head off to me the next? You're like a child who needs a damn good spanking.'
That did it.
'You reckon?' She shoved her chin out, folded her arms over her heaving chest and stepped into his space. 'Why don't you try it, big guy?'
But as he grasped her upper arms, something other than fury arched between them — the molten heat in her belly matching the pulse of fire in his eyes.
Thanks for having me at I Heart Presents and have no fear I'll be back here from time to time, because although I won't be writing Presents books anymore, I'll definitely be reading them!

Kerry reaches out to Israeli, Palestinian leaders during 1st weekend as secretary of State
WASHINGTON — New Secretary of State John Kerry reached out to Israeli and Palestinian leaders in phone calls this weekend, assuring them the Obama administration will continue to pursue a Mideast peace agreement while recognizing the individual concerns on both sides.
Kerry told Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of his and President Obama's commitment to support Israel's security and to pursue a lasting peace between Israelis and Palestinians. Netanyahu updated Kerry on his work to form a new government. They also discussed Iran and Syria, and pledged to work together closely.
Kerry commended the Israeli decision to release frozen tax revenues to the Palestinian Authority as an important step. Israel's monthly tax transfers to the Palestinians — the result of taxes and customs duties that Israel collects on behalf of the Palestinians — are a key element in the Palestinian government budget.
In his conversation on Sunday with Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, Kerry said Obama "is very interested in the peace process and aware of the economic hardships of the Palestinian people," Abbas spokesman Nabel Abu Rdeneh said. Rdeneh noted that Kerry said he would visit the region for further talks with Abbas "to preserve the political path." No time was set for the visit.
The department said Kerry spoke with Israeli President Shimon Peres on Saturday about the formation of the country's new government, and said the two "exchanged views" on the peace process and regional matters.

Note: Please contact the Civil Case Unit - Family Law for filing information and case status questions. The Family Law Self Help Program should only be contacted if you are representing yourself and have procedural questions or need clarification on family law forms. See below for information about how to schedule an appointment to meet with the Family Law Facilitator.
The Family Court Self-Help Program is a part of a statewide effort to improve access to justice for persons representing themselves in family law cases. Family Court Specialists operate under the provisions of Oregon Revised Statute 3.428, with the authorization to provide the following services:
It is important to note that as a self-represented litigant, you are acting as your own attorney. Although this service may aid you in doing that, it is not a replacement for valuable legal advice nor should it be considered so. Court Staff is prohibited from engaging in the unlawful practice of law.
Click here for more information about what court staff can and cannot do for you.
Listed below are links to educational materials that may be of assistance to you.
Some simple, do-it-yourself family law forms involving uncomplicated issues are available at the court for a small fee. The forms are also available on the Oregon Courts website.
Some of the forms available to start or respond to a court action include:
Note: You will not find forms for guardianship or third party custody cases at either location. If you are in need of these types of forms, you are very strongly encouraged to contact an attorney by using the Oregon State Bar Lawyer Referral Service.
The Family Court Specialists are available by appointment to review your completed family law forms. You may also contact the Family Court Specialist by phone or e-mail to ask procedural questions or for clarification on family law forms. See the section below entitled "How To Schedule An Appointment" for contact information.
If you would like a Family Court Specialist to review your documents, you must first fill them out as completely as possible. Once you have completed your family law forms, please call the Information Center Clerk to schedule an appointment. Appointments are one hour in length, and may be scheduled between the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m., excluding the noon hour, Monday through Friday, except court holidays. Upon arriving at the courthouse for your appointment, please check in with the Information Center Clerk on the first floor of the courthouse (the floor you enter on). You will then be directed to the ground floor to meet with the specialist.

Fees for family law cases are due at the time of filing your papers. If mailing your documents, please send a check or money order for fees that are due. For our current fee schedule, please go to the Fee Schedule Page. If you cannot pay your fee at the time of filing, you may apply for a fee deferral/waiver. If the fee deferral/waiver is granted, collections of those fees are the same as any other monetary obligation. For additional information, please go to the Collections Page.
The court's mailing address is: Clackamas County Circuit Court, 807 Main Street, Room 104, Oregon City, OR 97045.
Documents being filed in person are accepted on the first floor at the Civil Cases window, Room 104.
Documents needing to be scheduled for hearing, such as an Order to Show Cause, should be scheduled through the Calendaring Unit in Room 200 of the courthouse. All forms must be completed before scheduling a hearing and no hearings can be set over the phone.
If you are unsure of whether or not something needs to be scheduled for hearing, please contact the Calendaring Unit, or the Family Court Specialist if you are not represented by an attorney.
Note: For attorneys and represented parties, please contact the Calendaring Unit, at 503.655.8643.
Arbitration is a procedure, much like a trial but less formal. Instead of a decision being made by a judge or jury, an arbitrator hears the evidence and makes a decision. Like a judge, an arbitrator makes rulings on motion, decides the order in which witnesses appear and the testimony they give, and may impose penalties on a party who disobeys the arbitrator's orders.
There are two kinds of cases that the court will order to go into arbitration. The first kind of case is a civil lawsuit. A civil lawsuit is a case where one party, the plaintiff, is suing another person or corporation, the defendant for money. Examples include a personal injury case from an automobile accident, a disagreement about a contract or some other type of case that doesn't involve criminal charges. In civil cases, the lawsuit goes into arbitration depending on the amount money the plaintiff is asking for. Cases less than $50,000 must go into arbitration. The second kind of case is a domestic relations or family law case, where the parties are arguing about something other than custody or support. An example is a case where the husband and wife cannot agree on how to divide their property and their debts. To find out more about arbitration, please click here to go to the Arbitration page.
There is one time a day when you may take orders/motions/judgments to a courtroom to see if a judge will sign them. This is called Ex-parte. In Clackamas County Circuit Court, Ex-parte is at 1:00 pm Monday through Friday, except court holidays. Ex-parte lasts for 15 minutes; therefore, it is very important that you are in the court early. All family law matters must be presented to Judge Jones' Judicial Assistant for review prior to one of these scheduled times. You may ask for his Judicial Assistant on the second floor in Room 200.
If there has already been a judgment made in your case, and you are presenting a post-judgment motion to the court other than a request to schedule a hearing, you are required by law to give reasonable advance notice to the other party (ies) in the case, or the judge will not be able to review your pleadings.
Fees for family law cases are due at the time of filing your papers. For our current fee schedule, please go to the Fee Schedule Page. If you cannot pay the fee at the time of filing, you may apply for a fee deferral/waiver. If the fee deferral is granted, collections of those fees are the same as any other monetary obligation.
Hearing fees are due when the hearing or trial date is set. Additional fees for additional days of trial will be collected on the day the trial ends. The Judge may not hear your case until the trial fee for the first day has been paid.
Resources for the Self-Represented Litigant: Contains information regarding websites and written resources for family law, child support, parenting plans and domestic violence. For additional information, please click on the following link on Resources for the Self-Represented Litigant.

From Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia
Shouldn't the first line be "To be confused..." rather than "Not to be confused...". The latter seems so logical to do. Quite unorthodox by Uncyclopedia standards.
edit Photograph
I took the photograph, and I have oscillated, almost vibrated between kicking myself for not going inside the shop to inquire as to the nature of the "other Scottish delicacies", and hugging myself for the relief of not finding out. --Skyring 00:34, 23 March 2006 (UTC)
edit Small Furry Animal.
Sorry, but I'd have to make a correction here. A Haggis is small furry, harmless-looking animal, quite a cute one, in fact. The Japanese tourists always sigh "kawaii--iii" on seeing one.
As is well-known it has five legs. Three of these are much longer than the other two. This adaptation is to enable it to run around the sides of Scottish hills at great speed.
In fact, there are two distinct varieties of haggis, the lefhand and righthand genetic strains. As Captain Obvious would be quick to point out, they run around their respective hill in opposite directions. This has two consequences. The narrow haggis-tracks formed on the hillsides by the constant use will not accommodate two haggi passing in opposite directions, so special signs have to be erected telling the haggi where it is possible to pass. On observing this fact, the Scots decided to build their roads on the same principle. The other consequence is that the two strains remain genetically separate, having developed their own distinct characteristics, as interbreeding is physically extremely difficult.
Despite its cute appearance the haggis is after all Scottish, and that means it's an extremely tough customer. AK47s and the like being of limited effect, the weapon of choice for hunting is generally the [1]Davy Crockett, although some old-school hunters still insist on using trebuchets.Hunters need protective clothing against its powerful kick, and American football-gear has proven the most popular and effective.
No part of the haggis goes to waste. The innards, mixed with oatmeal and stuffed into a sheep's stomach make a nutritious meal. The pelt is used to line sporrans, whilst the hollowed-out skeleton forms the basis of a traditional Scottish musical instrument.
Haggis is, of course, a great delicacy, most often consumed on Burns Night. An interesting development is the recent availability of vegetarian haggis, which is supposedly much healthier to eat. The vegetarian type is quite pricey, as the need for constant surveillance of the haggis right throughout its life -to make sure it's not eating meat on the sly- makes its rearing an extremely labor-intensive process.

Fashion Tips for Short Men – 4 Ways to Dress to Kill
June 21, 2010 by Kristine | Filed under Fashion For Guys
Do you really have to be tall, sleek and handsome just to get any girls attention? Not necessarily. Take off your usual ripped jeans and plain shirt. A man always dresses up for any occasion. Work on these fashion tips for short men and you don't have to sweat on the small stuff no more!
If you know where to look, you don't have to worry about looking drab and out of place. Below are some tips to help you find the right outfit for any occasion:
1) Corporate hunk: Most clothing stores cater to taller men in general. If you're having difficulty finding slacks or suits for your height, you're not alone. Why not go for tailored suits? Tailored suits may be costly --- but you're getting every penny's worth out of that suit. Suits are flexible and offers variety if you know where to find the right top to go with it. Walk tall and getaway with a sleek suit for a corporate party.
2) Casual hottie: Leave no room to look drab when you're out for a walk in the park or hang-out in a coffee shop. You'll never know! You might just walk in the right place and find the right girl for keeps! One of the many fashion tips for short men is to wear dress shirts with plackets. Plackets are double-folded cloth that buttons your dress shirt. You'll find major brands like Abercrombie and Fitch and Lacoste selling these in various colors and designs. Get yourself a dress shirt with buttons on them to give an illusion of elongating your torso.
3.) Wear matching colors: Another important tip is to wear tops and bottoms with matching color. This creates an illusion of making you look taller instead of wearing mismatched colors.
4) Cut your hair short: Hair is also an important factor to creating that illusion. If you want to look taller, cut your hair short. Long hair tends to viagra online hide your neck and shoulder, leaving your torso looking shorter than it should. A good clean cut and posture should help you reach your maximum height potential.
These are just the basic fashion tips for short men. You need to own your look and add personality to your attire. If you want to dress for the kill, then put yourself out there with confidence and draw the ladies in with a winning smile!

Cheapest price I could find, and fast, free, damage-free shipping too. The item I ordered arrived in perfect shape, just two days after placing my order. The price was about 40% less than the MSRP or highest price at other places online or nearby. Who could ask for more?
Drillspot provided the best price for this item on the net. Their delivery was ahead of schedule and the items arrived in perfect order. I would definitely use Drillspot again and would recommend them to anyone looking for a professionally run company with competitive prices.

Hot town, summer in the city....During the summer, ices are a ubiquitous dessert, sold on nearly every city street corner.
They would poison each other's ices if they could get near them; and as for the made-dishes—they are poison.
A man-servant brought into the arbour a tray laden with ices.
I confess that I had thirteen ices; salvers kept passing me, and I forgot myself.
So Sheila was staying in a house in which ices could be prepared?
Come along with me, and I'll see where 249 the ices are to be found.
Farncombe appears at her side with the waiter carrying the ices.
At ten o'clock there had been a brief intermission, when cakes and ices were served.
ices, stiffly preserved fruits, etc., are all eaten with a fork.
In the supper-room she devoured salad and ices with a childish joy in them.
Old English is "ice" (also the name of the rune for -i-), from Proto-Germanic *isa- (cf. Old Norse iss, Old Frisian is, Dutch ijs, German Eis), with no certain cognates beyond Germanic, though possible relatives are Avestan aexa- "frost, ice," isu- "frosty, icy;" Afghan asai "frost." Slang meaning "diamonds" is attested from 1906.
Ice cube attested from 1904. Ice age attested from 1832. To break the ice "to make the first opening to any attempt" is from 1580s, metaphoric of making passages for boats by breaking up river ice though in modern use usually with implications of "cold reserve."
Excellent; fine; cool (1960s+ Cool talk)
Related Terms
break the ice, cut no ice, green ice, on ice

Discussion in 'Draft Zone' started by packpitts, May 11, 2014.
He sure didn't make the correct decision in a tough position. But it doesn't necessarily make him a bad guy. His teammates were.
According to this detailed report Boyd played a role in trying to cover up (but not perpetrate) the VERY poor choices of his teammates during the summer of 2013. Subsequently, he was dismissed from the team and didn't play a snap for the 2013 'Dores. It sounds like they panicked and contacted him for advice. I've recently been a college student and spent three years coaching undergraduate leaders, so I know how they behave when things go wrong. Let's hope that the fact that Boyd has been cooperating with the investigation shows that he has learned from his mistake.
Thank you
Apparently his teammates were involved in a possible rape and he tried to help them cover it up. He was kicked off the team and missed the entire 2013 season
Not surprised he went undrafted
Big mistake by the kid, but hopefully he learned his lesson from it and moved on. Sucks that his teammates drug him into that mess to begin with.
The Biggest Sleeper in the 2014 NFL Draft: Vanderbilt WR Chris Boyd
I really Wished that on these player highlight films, especially for WRs, they would focus on the WRs. Too many show the QB and cut to the WR but that doesn't really help you with evaluating things like release, how well they use their hands, route running, how well they get in and out of cuts, just all the things that go into evaluating a WR. Also, show WRs in the run game. Show me how they block down field. So important in evaluating a WR.

Hope this letter finds you well. My purpose in writing you is to share with you my feelings and thoughts about this weekend's second collection for the Archdiocese Military Services. Those who have experienced the trauma of war certainly do need our assistance for their full recovery, as so many do suffer with Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). I have had the opportunity to both read as well as attend a workshop by Edward Tick, a Clinical Psychotherapist, who has done extensive work with veterans and PTSD. The violence of war, as Tick notes, is a major trauma to the soul that no drug can effectively heal. As so many veterans say "War is Hell", raises the question, "Why as a faith community, by our silence and lack of conscience formation regarding war and the military, send our sons and daughters to hell/war?"

Red Lobster Specials
The Red Lobster Specials are promotions running for a limited time focusing on some of the best entrees of the popular restaurant chain. Although Red Lobster constantly features a special promotion in most of its branches, they constantly change as the restaurant caters to the varying demands of their customers.
The current promotion at Red Lobster is the "Endless Shrimp" special. It's a very straightforward promotion as customers only have to pay flat rate to enjoy all the shrimp that they can get. The standard rate for the "Endless Shrimp" promotion is only $15.99. There could be some price difference in other areas but they are often minimal.
The current Red Lobster special comes in five different entrees and each entrée is perfect even for the most distinguishing taste. The "Sweet and Spicy Grilled Shrimp" is the latest addition to the unlimited shrimp special featuring the unforgettable sweet flavor with a bit of spice in shrimp. Another favorite is the "Garlic Shrimp Scampi" which is becoming the new favorite of many shrimp lovers as the traditional shrimp flavor perfectly mixes with garlic.
The other three types of entrees on shrimp are: "Parmesan Shrimp", "Shrimp Languini Alfredo" and "Hand-Breaded Shrimp". The Parmesan and Hand-Breaded Shrimp is your traditional deep fried shrimp but with a Red Lobster twist. Parmesan crumbs with a hint of garlic sauce gives the latest shrimp entrée a tasty bump. The hand breaded shrimp is your traditional deep fried shrimp but it's very tasty because of the Red Lobster coating.
It's very important to remember that the Red Lobster Specials is only available for a limited time. To receive the latest specials from Red Lobster, customers should sign-up for the "Fresh Catch Club". Members of Red Lobster's online club immediately receive the latest news and entrees such as discount promotions and Red Lobster specials.

Note: Upgrades are only supported from release to release, it is recommended that you NOT skip releases.
To quickly remove all packages from your system:
After the upgrade, install the new versions of these applications.pkg_delete -q /var/db/pkg/*
The upgrade process may overwrite some X configuration files, you may wish to backup your /etc/X11 directory before upgrading.
Sometimes, one needs to do an upgrade of a machine that one can't easily use the normal upgrade process. One can usually do this by carefully following a process similar to a source-based upgrade:
Note the extra steps for copying over the primary kernel: those are done to ensure that there is always a valid copy of the kernel on the disk that the system can boot from should there be a really badly timed power outage or system crash.cd /path rm /obsd ; ln /bsd /obsd && cp bsd /nbsd && mv /nbsd /bsd cp bsd.rd /
Note: not all file sets will need to be installed for all applications, however, if you installed a file set originally, you should certainly upgrade it with the new file sets now. Also note that etc35.tgz is NOT unpacked here, as it is handled separately.cd / tar xzpf /path/base35.tgz tar xzpf /path/comp35.tgz tar xzpf /path/game35.tgz tar xzpf /path/man35.tgz tar xzpf /path/misc35.tgz tar xzpf /path/xbase35.tgz tar xzpf /path/xfont35.tgz tar xzpf /path/xserv35.tgz tar xzpf /path/xshare35.tgz
Also see any version-specific notes below.cd /dev ./MAKEDEV all
Nov 1 12:47:05 puffy sm-mta[16733]: filesys_update failed: No such file or directory, fs=., avail=-1, blocksize=380204These messages can be safely ignored, or you may wish to halt sendmail(8) during the upgrade process.
These steps will add both the new users and their corresponding groups. Your environment may allow you to cut/paste those commands.useradd -u74 -g=uid -c"pflogd privsep" -d/var/empty -s/sbin/nologin _pflogd useradd -u75 -g=uid -c"BGP Daemon" -d/var/empty -s/sbin/nologin _bgpd useradd -u76 -g=uid -c"tcpdump" -d/var/empty -s/sbin/nologin _tcpdump
Files that can probably be copied from etc35.tgz "as is":cd /tmp tar xzpf /path/etc35.tgz
Note that it IS possible to locally modify these files, if this has been done, manual merging will be needed. Here are copy/paste lines for copying these files, assuming you unpacked etc35.tgz in the above recommended place:bgpd.conf changelist locate.rc moduli netstart pf.os protocols rc security sensorsd.conf services var/named/standard/root.hint mtree/*
cd /tmp/etc cp bgpd.conf changelist locate.rc moduli netstart pf.os \ protocols rc security sensorsd.conf services /etc cp mtree/* /etc/mtree/ cp ../var/named/standard/root.hint /var/named/standard
Files that must be manually merged, respecting any local changes made to them:
Finally, use mtree(8) to create any new directories:ftpusers inetd.conf login.conf lynx.cfg newsyslog.conf rc.conf rc.local remote sysctl.conf ttys mail/*
After the final reboot, you should have a fully functional 3.5 system. At this point, you can upgrade to 3.6 if desired.mtree -qdef /etc/mtree/4.4BSD.dist -p / -u

- Exercise for Successful Aging Slideshow
- 18 Secrets for a Longer Life Slideshow
- Advance medical directive facts
- Introduction to advance medical directives
- What is the importance of an advance directive?
- What is the history of advance directives?
- The current situation
- When do advance directives become helpful?
- How can one obtain and prepare living will and advance medical directive forms?
The current situation
In the United States, four out of every five adults has no advance directive, a situation that some have likened to taking your car to the mechanic and saying, "I think it needs a tune-up, but if you find something really wrong with it, just go ahead and fix it, even if it won't run afterward? And by the way, please charge me for the work and if I can't pay for it, I'm sure my estate will!"
When asked what would provide a good death, the majority of Americans answer, in essence; "Quick, painless, at home, and surrounded by family."
In 1950, about half of Americans who died did so at home. Now, about 85% of Americans die in a health-care setting: a hospital, a nursing home, or a rehabilitation center. At least 12% die in an intensive-care unit.
Over the past three decades, the United States - all 50 states and the District of Columbia -- have passed laws to legalize the use of living wills, health-care proxies, and/or the durable power of attorney. The U.S. federal government has validated state laws on advance directives through the 1991 Patient Self- Determination Act. And the U.S. Supreme Court has handed down an opinion acknowledging the congruence of the Constitution of the United States with state laws on the right to designate future medical treatment.
When do advance directives become helpful?
Advance directives become active when a patient is no longer able to make his/her own health-care decisions or becomes mentally incapacitated. Until such point is reached, the patient is the ultimate decision maker regarding their health.
Some common scenarios where these directives can help with the decision making process are
- coma,
- persistent vegetative state,
- severe brain injury,
- strokes,
- advanced Alzheimer's disease or other forms of dementia,
- critical medical illness affecting mental capacity.
Advance directives not only help with decision-making in times of incapacity, but they can also clarify one's preferences during times of uncertainties while still cognitively intact. At times, deciding whether to accept or decline a treatment may overwhelm a person and cast uncertain on their judgment. By referring to previously delineated preferences based on overall goals of care, such decisions may become simpler to make as smaller components of a bigger picture.

A man died after he drove off a road and crashed into a fence and a tree Monday in Murray.
The man, 40, was driving a Ford Crown Victoria about 5:45 p.m. west on 5600 South when he veered off the side of the road near 1850 East, said Unified Police Department Lt. Justin Hoyal.
The vehicle took out a fence and hit a tree, Hoyal said. The man was taken to Intermountain Medical Center, where he died.
Investigators believe speed was a factor, Hoyal said.
Police would not identify the man pending family notifications.

War can inspire many things in many people — bravery, fear and every emotion in between. Hearing about French women who flew planes during World War I inspired 29-year-old Elizabeth "Bessie" Coleman, a manicurist living and working in Chicago, to earn a pilot's license. It was a grand ambition for the daughter of sharecroppers who'd been forced to drop out of college after one semester because she couldn't afford her school fees. Being female and African-American and therefore prohibited from attending flying school in the United States didn't stop her either. Pas de problem, she said, after learning French at night, that is, and moving to France, where she attended Caudron Brother's School of Aviation.
On June 15, 1921, she earned the first license issued to a Black woman from the Federation Aeronautique Internationale. Upon her return to the U.S., Coleman, who never achieved her goal of opening an aviation school for African-Americans, specialized in stunt flying. "Brave Bessie," as she became known, sadly lost her life on April 30, 1926, while rehearsing for an aerial show.

The time for talk is over. Technically, the time for writing is just about over too — as far as predictions go — but when it came to picking a winner of the Knicks – Celtics series starting tonight, I needed every last moment.
Here's how I see the series shaking out:
1. The Knicks will find a way to steal either game 1 or 2 in Boston. They'll do it with a combination of poor play by Rajon Rondo and a concurrent tri-scoring bonzana from Amar'e Stoudemire, Carmelo Anthony, and Chauncey Billups.
2. The defensive experiment using Jared Jefferies to guard Rondo will not last long enough to see the Knicks return to Madison Square Garden.
3. Stoudemire will find himself in foul trouble in at least two games — dealing with a fired up Kevin Garnett — but he will flip the script on his late-season fourth-quarter invisibility, make decisive plays in crunch time, and seal a come from behind win that will define New York's season.
4. Carmelo Anthony will outplay and frustrate Paul Pierce throughout the series, and the latter will be blamed by the Boston media for his inability to deny 'Melo the ball or stop him from getting to the line.
5. The referees will unfortunately play a major role in the outcome of the series, calling the games tightly and thus preventing Boston from clamping down defensively on the Knicks.
6. Both Toney Douglas and Bill Walker will score 20 points individually in different games.
7. Ray Allen will be mostly unstoppable, and the Knicks will hard pressed to answer some of his clutch 3-pointers.
So there you have it. Enjoy Game 1 y'all!
What do you think? Let me know in the comments section or shoot me a tweet @LoHudKnicks.

This Fall, the Global and Regional Studies Program welcomed its first exchange student under the auspices of its NAFTA Mobility grant. The grant brings together six universities—two from each NAFTA signatory country—to facilitate one-semester student exchanges. The student, Veronica Ficon, is a senior Global Studies major from Canadian partner Wilfrid Laurier University. Veronica's course schedule includes our Global Studies senior seminar with Prof. Jonah Steinberg, which she reports is one of the most challenging courses she's taken in college, and an introductory Canadian history course with CAS Interim Associate Dean Dave Massell, providing her with what she describes as an interesting American perspective on her country's history.
Veronica is also taking a unique "parallel studies course" with Prof. Luis Vivanco, GRS Director and the grant's faculty director at UVM. This course offers a coordinated curriculum, designed collaboratively by the faculty directors at each campus, that all participating exchange students take. Every two weeks, all the students and faculty from the six campuses meet virtually using Adobe Connect, a video conferencing application, to listen to a short faculty presentation and discuss common readings on topics related to social, political, and economic dynamics in North America. These presentations and discussions have been one of the most rich aspects of the course, as students and faculty not only come from distinct disciplinary backgrounds and national cultures, but also particular regions with distinctive identities and perspectives within their countries.
As part of this course, each student also conducts independent research at his or her visiting campus on a topic related to the role of cultural perceptions and misperceptions in the construction of North American identity. The students will present their research at a virtual conference in December. GRS will be offering this course to participating exchange students throughout the life of the grant, which ends in 2014.

The purpose of this meta-analysis was to evaluate the relationship between blood lutein and zeaxanthin concentration and the risk of age-related cataract (ARC). MEDLINE, EMBASE, ISI and Cochrane Library were searched to identify relevant studies up to April 2013. Meta-analysis was conducted to obtain pooled relative risks (RRs) for the highest-versus-lowest categories of blood lutein and zeaxanthin concentrations. One cohort study and seven cross-sectional studies were included in the meta-analysis. There were significant inverse associations between nuclear cataract and blood lutein and zeaxanthin concentrations, with the pooled RRs ranging from 0.63 (95% confidence interval (CI): 0.49, 0.77) for zeaxanthin to 0.73 (95% CI: 0.59, 0.87) for lutein. A stronger association between nuclear cataract and blood zeaxanthin might be noted for the studies conducted in the European Nations. Blood lutein and zeaxanthin were also noted to lead towards a decrease in the risk of cortical cataract and subcapsular cataract; however, these pooled RRs were not statistically significant, with the exception of a marginal association between lutein and subcapsular cataract. Our results suggest that high blood lutein and zeaxanthin are significantly associated with a decrease in the risk of nuclear cataract. However, no significant associations were found for ARC in other regions of the lens.
Cataract is a clouding or opacification of the lens inside the eye that obstructs the passage of light [
Light-initiated oxidative damages are hypothesized to be the mechanism involved in ARC [
This meta-analysis was performed in accordance with Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines [
We searched MEDLINE, EMBASE, ISI Web of Science and Cochrane Library for relevant articles up to April 2013. Following MeSH words and text words were used: "lutein", "zeaxanthin", "xanthophyll", or "carotenoid", together with each of the following words "cataract", "age-related cataract", "ARC", or "lens opacities". Language restrictions were not imposed. Besides, manual searches of references cited by the retrieved articles were performed for additional literature. Authors and experts in the field were also contacted for relevant unpublished studies.
All retrieved articles were examined by scanning their titles and abstracts and any clearly irrelevant studies were excluded. Full texts of the remaining articles were further reviewed. Studies were included in this meta-analysis if they met the following criteria: (1) the primary outcome was clearly defined as ARC; (2) the exposure of interest was blood (plasma or serum) levels of lutein and zeaxanthin; (3) odds ratio (OR) or relative risk (RR) estimates and their 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were provided; and (4) potential confounders were controlled for by matching or multivariable analysis in the studies. If a series of articles were published from the same study, the report with the most updated data was selected for analysis. Literature search and screening were conducted independently by three investigators (RBY, RL, and ZXH) in a standardized manner, and any disagreements were resolved by discussion.
Information from eligible studies was abstracted independently by three investigators (X.H.L., R.B.Y., and R.L.), and discrepancies were resolved by consensus. We extracted the name of the first author, year of publication, country of origin, study design, characteristics of the study population (sample size, distribution of age, sex and ethnicity), diagnostic method of ARC, classification and grading systems for ARC, blood concentration assessment methods, fully adjusted odds ratio or relative risk, and the adjustment factors. If a study provided several risk estimates, the most completely adjusted estimate was extracted.
For all studies, RRs or ORs and the corresponding 95% CIs were extracted from each article. Inverse variance-weighted risk estimates for ARC comparing the highest-versus-lowest categories of lutein and zeaxanthin were pooled with the fixed effects models or DerSimonian-Laird random effects models. The DerSimonian and Laird's Q statistic and
Our search resulted in a total of 1615 references, of which 1558 were excluded after abstract review (
Flow diagram of study selection process.
Of the 8 studies included, two studies investigated the association between the blood lutein plus zeaxanthin and nuclear cataract, seven and five studies reported results for lutein and zeaxanthin, respectively (
Five studies reported data on blood lutein concentration with cortical cataract, and four studies reported blood zeaxanthin (

The funnel plots for the studies evaluating blood lutein and zeaxanthin concentrations and their association with different subtypes of ARC revealed symmetry. The Egger and Begg tests suggested the absence of significant publication bias (
The findings from this meta-analysis indicated that the reduction in the occurrence of nuclear cataract was significantly associated with high concentrations of lutein and zeaxanthin in serum, especially for zeaxanthin. Moreover, a stronger association between nuclear cataract and blood zeaxanthin might be noted for the studies conducted in the European Nations. However, no significant protective effects were found for each of these carotenoids against either cortical cataract or posterior subcapsular cataract, except a borderline significant association between blood lutein and subcapsular cataract.
The potential mechanisms for the positive effects of these carotenoids on ARC are not yet completely understood, but are thought to be primarily through their antioxidant properties and blue-light filtering activities [
Results from the present study indicated that blood concentration of lutein and zeaxanthin was significantly associated with the decreased risk of nuclear cataract. The consistency between our findings for each of these xanthophyll carotenoids indicated that such associations were robust. It should be noted that, compared to blood lutein, blood zeaxanthin showed a stronger inverse association with the occurrence of nuclear cataract. The seeming discrepancy was presumably explained by the difference in distribution pattern and biological properties of these two carotenoids. The ratio of zeaxanthin to lutein is much higher in human lens (0.8:1) than that in the plasma (0.2:1), suggesting that a selective uptake of zeaxanthin may occur in the lens tissue [
The stratified analyses showed that the association between nuclear cataract and blood zeaxanthin was significantly stronger for Europeans than it was for the Indians. This might be partly explained by the difference in zeaxanthin status for different populations. Compared with the Indians, blood zeaxanthin in Europeans was relatively higher [
With respect to cortical cataract and subcapsular cataract, we found no significant associations of these types of cataract with blood zeaxanthin or lutein. The difference in associations between cataract subtypes and serum zeaxanthin and lutein was probably due to the distinct pathogenesis for each type of ARC. With increasing age, a lower percentage of reduced glutathione can reach the lens nucleus, which makes the nucleus become less able to repair oxidative damage [
The present study also has several potential limitations. First, our study is a meta-analysis of observational studies because of no randomized controlled trials (RCTs) found. It is commonly considered that observational studies are more likely to be subject to confounding and bias than RCTs, which can confound the results of our analysis. Second, the relatively small number of trials available evaluated the relationship between lutein and zeaxanthin status and the risk of cortical cataract or posterior subcapsular cataract; thus, our analysis was unlikely to detect substantially significant effect of xanthophyll carotenoids on opacities in these regions. Third, it may be that persons who have high blood levels of lutein and zeaxanthin are more likely to adhere to a healthier diet or lifestyle, which is associated with lower risks of ARC. Most studies adjusted for some major potential confounders; however, it was possible that residual or unknown confounding might bias the overall results in either direction. Fourth, although most subjects in studies from the European Nations were Europeans, it is possible that these study groups included participants of Asian and other non-European participants, which might lead to a mis-estimation of the association. Finally, although there was little evidence of publication bias from our funnel plot and rank correlation analysis, this possibility could be not completely excluded.
Our meta-analysis demonstrated that increased blood concentrations of lutein and zeaxanthin might be associated with a reduced risk of nuclear cataract. However, there is insufficient evidence to support a significantly inverse relationship between blood lutein or zeaxanthin level and risk of other subtypes of ARC. Meanwhile, there are only a few observational studies published about the association between blood concentrations of these carotenoids and ARC, which also limits the power of meta-analysis. Therefore, longer-term, large-scale, prospective controlled intervention studies are needed to clarify further the impact of lutein and zeaxanthin on the development of ARC.
This study was supported in part by grants from the National Natural Science Foundation of China (81202198) and the Fundamental Research Funds for the Central Universities of China (xjj2012052).

The Anglican Dean of Jersey, the Very Reverend John Seaford, is to retire this summer after 12 years in the post.
Bishop Of Winchester, the Right Reverend Michael Scott Joynt, the head of Jersey's diocese, says church rules would allow a female dean.
But the Dean would also be parish priest for St Helier which is against women taking on the role.
Parish say
He said: "We can't have a female dean on this occasion because the decision has been confirmed that the post of dean should continue to be linked to the post of parish priest of the town church.
"The law in the Church of England, both on the mainland and the two Bailiwicks, is that the parish has a say on whether or not it's at ease about receiving a woman as its parish priest.
"The town church in Jersey is not of that view."
He added that the Deanery will not be sold and the next Dean will live in the house in David Place, St Helier.
