Two years have passed since the Fukushima nuclear disaster began but little has changed for the people still struggling with the fallout from the triple meltdown that forced 160,000 from their homes.
The vast majority of those that have lost their homes remain stuck in limbo without proper compensation for their losses from the plant operator, TEPCO, or support to move on with their lives. Families are separated, communities are disintegrating and the level of mistrust in the government's promises is growing.

Featuring the same racing DNA of the race winning Fury, offering toned down features for solid performance and reliable comfort on and off of the bike.
Due to manufacturer restrictions we can only ship this item within the U.S.
I've only used these on two rides, so I'm not done evaluating them. Overall I'm appreciating the lightweight and sturdy construction. They weigh near what my specialized road shoes weigh with clips. The toe box is wide enough, but the cam buckle strap is kinda short. I'm only able to get 2-3 clicks on it, which makes me wonder why it wasn't made a little longer. If you have narrower feet than this shouldn't be a problem for you. Hopefully they prove to be as durable as they feel in the long term.
Just got these today, threw 'em on and went for a ride. Wow!!! These shoes are great! I don't know if I've just been missing out on great shoes or not but the shoes I've been using for the last several years are a pair of Axo's that I bought from pricepoint and they've held up great but they feel like bags of lead compared to these. The fit of these Mavic's are spot on and the performance and stiffness/comfort are excellent as well. I believe they'll be great shoes for a great deal of time to come too. Buy. These. Shoes.
I got these a few weeks ago and have been very pleased so far. Good stable bottom that feels like a platform when clipped in. Works well with Shimano pedals. Comfortable foot bed and the ratchet strap really helps to crank down on the tightness to get them nice and snug. Would recommend to anyone looking for an entry level shoe to make the transition to clipless.

Syrian forces bomb city of Homs
Forces loyal to Bashar al-Assad launch fresh attacks on the Syrian city of Homs. A photo taken out of context sparks lively debate on social networks. And an American professor documenting his cancer battle in online videos.
Syrian forces bomb city of Homs
Syrian cyber activists have been sending out the distress call "SOS Homs" on the Internet. Security forces have stepped up attacks on the city, dubbed the "capital of the Syrian revolution". Heavy artillery fire has been rocking Homs for several days now.
According to online accounts, the Baba Amr district has been particularly affected by these bombardments; loyalist troops have been using rockets and mortars. In this video which has been posted on the Internet, a resident shows the damage caused by the attacks, and pleads for help.
One of the neighborhood's field hospitals has reportedly been hit in the shelling. These pictures are being relayed on the Internet by members of the Syrian opposition; we see a doctor angrily condemning the attack which he says has claimed at least three lives so far.
Cyber activists have been posting a lot of videos online which, although difficult to verify, appear to illustrate how not even children are being spared in this military attack. These youngsters gathered in Homs to denounce the growing number of children being killed or wounded in the regime's bloody crackdown.
For many regime opponents across Syria, like these protesters in a Damascus suburb, China and Russia are largely to blame for this latest round of bloodshed, as on Saturday, both countries vetoed a UN Security Council resolution on the crisis in Syria.
Fake photo of Israeli soldier stepping on girl goes viral
This photo was posted on Facebook last week by an American web user and sparked lively debate on social networks. It shows a soldier, who is presented as a member of the Israeli military, apparently stepping on a supposed Palestinian little girl. The shot was rapidly relayed all across the web, and was met with widespread condemnation online.
Many web users have slammed the behaviour of the soldier in the photograph, demanding he be punished. But after carrying out some online investigations, a number of web users came to the conclusion that the picture has been taken out of context. This Israeli Facebooker says there are several indications that this is a hoax, the first one being that the soldier is not wearing the uniform nor carrying the rifle used by the Israeli Defense Forces. Arab blogger Omar Dakhane confirmed this observation almost immediately, and has even found the original photograph; a picture that dates back to 2009 and was taken during a street-theatre festival in Bahrain.
This could have been the end of it, but the online community can be a force to be reckoned with; web users have decided to react to what they consider to be anti-Israel propaganda. They have created all sorts of spoofs of the controversial photo using image editing software; the soldier has been replaced by the famous Angry Birds for example, or Chuck Norris, or even one of the characters from the Avatar film… it's an original way of highlighting, in social network language, the absurdity of these accusations made against the Israeli military.
Now trending on social networks
Alberto Contador has been trending heavily on social networks since the Court of Arbitration for Sport decided on Monday to suspend the Spanish cycling champion from racing for two years and strip him of his 2010 Tour de France title, after he tested positive for clenbuterol. The announcement has generated much online commentary. Most Spanish web users appear to be defending Contador, saying the decision is unacceptable, other social networkers meanwhile are hailing the decision, which they deem to be a more than fair punishment.
USA: professor documents cancer battle in online videos
David Oliver is a professor at the University of Missouri in the US. And when the 69 year old doctor was diagnosed with a form of throat cancer, he made a video, which he posted online, to break the news to colleagues. The clip was then relayed on social networks and ended up reaching a much wider audience; David Oliver has since been documenting his cancer battle and various treatments in online videos. The medical school professor hopes that by sharing his experience he will be able to teach and help others.
Video of the day
The latest sports craze to hit the United States is "Ultimate Tazer ball". As we can see in this video, it's somewhere between handball and American football. Nothing out of the ordinary in that; except that the eight players are all carrying Tasers and are allowed to use them against their opponents! It's quite literally electrifying, and most probably pretty dangerous, and will no doubt be popular with thrill seekers…

The Dog Who Rescues Cats: the true story of Ginny by Philip Gonzalez will tug at your heartstrings. Gonzalez was foreman for a construction company that built skyscrapers in New York and other cities until an accident disabled him permanently. His physical recovery was challenging, but emotional recovery was even more difficult. After much resistance, he finally gave in to his girlfriend's urging that he adopt a dog. Ginny, the adorable dog he took home, took his life in a new direction when she rescued an injured cat on one of their early morning walks in New York. She found many homeless cats and they began feeding them, arranging veterinary care and adoptions. Their home became the place of last resort for the least adoptable cats, and might bring to mind Wanda Gag's classic Millions of Cats! This is a moving tribute to the power of a dog to love and to heal.

Bat Yam
Great location. 2 blocks to the best beach in Israel in my opinion. Too many to list options for dining out. Condo is comfortable with rooms situated privately and with excellent soundproofing. The family upstairs had karaoke from 8 pm to 3 am on shabat and that was the only disturbance. Condo is clean and modern. You have everything you may need there. Getting in and out was easy and owners are very accomodating. Highly recommend.

Enter your zip code above to find your hardiness zone, plants available for your area, and your estimated ship date.
To the left, you'll find all the topics covered in this Plant Manual. Select a topic to read its information.
It's 75% apricot and 25% plum! Enjoy the clean tang of an apricot boosted by the sweetness of a plum when you eat this fruit. Vigorous, upright trees produce bright-yellow, 2-inch apriums. Bears young. Fruit can be used like an apricot or a plum – for fresh-eating, cooking, canning, and even freezing. Developed in Modesto, California, introduced in 1989. Semi-freestone. Ripens in mid-July. Best pollinators: any apricot.
The best way to succeed is to plan before you plant. Let's discuss location: Do you know where you want to plant your new trees? Avoid many future problems by considering all aspects of the planting spot, such as:
Is a pollinator variety present? Cross-pollination by a different variety, of the same type of tree, is key to the success of many fruit trees. In most cases, its absence is why trees don't bear fruit or produce poorly. Since insects and wind carry pollen from one blossom to the other blossoms the trees should be planted fairly close together, within 50 feet.
Your tree would love a sunny place with well-drained, fertile soil. But it will be quite satisfied with six to eight hours of sunlight. Good drainage is required to keep your trees "happy." If your soil has high clay content, use our Coco-Fiber Potting Medium or add one-third peat to the soil at planting time. We do not recommend planting fruit trees in heavy, pure clay soils.
Even if your yard isn't the most ideal location, take heart. Fruit trees are very adaptable and respond well to fertilizers, so they can get along well even where the soil is nutritionally poor. Just steer clear of sites with extremely heavy soils or very poor drainage.
If you'd like your tree to become a landscaping asset, choose the planting place with this in mind. Imagine it as a full-grown tree and check everything out: Wires overhead? Sidewalk underneath? Does it obstruct something you want to see? Can you keep an eye on it from the house? Will other trees be in the way, allowing for their additional growth in the meantime?
Even a year or two after planting, your tree will be very difficult to transplant. So take the time to plant it in just the right place.
First-time fruit tree growers often ask about recommended planting distances from patios, sewer lines, water pipes and so on. Ordinarily, patios will not be a problem because the soil beneath them will be dry and compacted. Therefore, the roots will not grow into this area as much. It's still recommended, however, that you plant at least 8-10' away from patios, water pipes and sewer pipes. You might not expect sewer and water lines to be affected since they are buried so deeply. But, since sewer and water lines tend to be wet, roots will grow to them and around them if the tree is planted too close. By planting your trees far enough away from these items, you can avoid this problem.
Once you've found out about fruit growing goodness firsthand, you'll want to expand your home orchard. It's important to plan for tree spacing so that the future growth areas will be ready when you are.
Dwarf, 8-10'
Standard, 15-20'
Miniature, 4-6'
Successfully establishing a young fruit tree in your yard starts with your planting site and method. Once a fruit tree is established, it needs little assistance to grow and bear fruit; but you'll want to make sure you give your trees the right foundation.
Fruit trees require fertile soil for good growth, so before you plant, check your soil pH. Contact your local County Extension Office for information about soil testing in your area, or purchase one of our digital meters for quick and accurate results. If the soil pH where you plant your tree is 6.0-7.0, you're in good shape. Take a look at the established trees and plants around the site. If they look healthy and are growing well, just follow the recommended fertilization program for your fruit trees. Steer clear of soils that are extremely heavy or poorly drained.
Grafted trees need special planting attention. All Stark Bro's fruit trees are grafted or budded, the only methods for growing true-to-name planting stock. You can see where the fruiting variety on top is joined to the root variety on the bottom by a bump in the bark, change in the bark color or a slight offset angle. For certain dwarf trees, it's very important to keep this graft above the ground. Otherwise, roots could develop from above the graft; then your tree could grow to full size by bypassing its dwarfing parts.
Most Stark fruit trees are budded to specially selected clonal rootstocks. For dwarf, semi-dwarf and colonnade apple trees, the bud union should be planted 2-3" above the soil line. Standard size apple trees as well as our Custom Grafted trees should be planted 1-2" deeper than the soil lines from the nursery row.
For dwarf pears, peaches, nectarines, apricots, cherries and plums trees the bud-graft line should remain at or above the ground and for standard size trees they will do better with a slightly deeper planting.
Stark trees that are grown and shipped in bottomless pots are part of our continuing quest for producing better and stronger trees for the home grower. By following these simple instructions, you will be assured of getting your young tree off to the best possible start.
One final point: Please be sure to remove the name tag from your tree. As the tree grows, this small piece of plastic can choke off its circulation, damaging or killing the tree. If you'd like to keep the tag on your tree, retie it loosely with soft twine.
Preparing your soil before you plant will greatly improve your plant's performance and promote healthy, vigorous growth. It is a good idea to have your soil tested to determine if it is lacking in any essential minerals and nutrients. This can be done through your County Extension Office or with one of our digital meters.
The goal of soil preparation is to replenish vital minerals and nutrients, as well as break up and loosen any compacted soil.
Soil preparation can be done at any time that the ground is not too wet or frozen. Your trees may be planted even when temperatures are quite cool. If a hard frost is expected, it is advisable to delay planting for a while until temperatures become more moderate. Generally, as long as your soil is workable, it is fine to plant.
Your lawn can provide you with ideal organic materials such as grass clippings and shredded leaves. Not only will the grass and leaves break down to provide soil nutrients, but they will help loosen the soil as well. You can gather these in the fall with spring planting in mind.
Adding organic materials, such as our Coco-Fiber Potting Medium and compost will improve most every soil type. Organic materials bind sandy soil particles so they retain moisture and nutrients better. They also break apart clay and silt particles, so that water can infiltrate and roots can spread.
Fertilizing is an excellent way to replenish the natural nutrients in your plant's soil, especially nitrogen. Nitrogen encourages hardy green growth, which is exactly what you want to promote before your tree reaches its fruit-bearing years.
Every fruit tree has the future potential for disease and insect damage. Factors such as location and weather will play a part in which issues your tree encounters. Disease-resistant trees are the best option for easy care; and for all trees, proper maintenance (such as watering, fertilizing, pruning, spraying, weeding, and fall cleanup) can help keep most insects and diseases at bay.
Trees appear stunted and slow growing; leaves may be reduced in size, little or no fruit. If tree is dead, inspect roots for hard, woody 'tumors'. Note: many things can cause stunted trees.
Appears on branches and trunk as gummy cankers and water-soaked areas. Fruit develops dark, deeply sunken areas, causing them to be more likely to get 'Brown Rot'. Cool, wet weather after blooming favors development.
Usually on bark of young twigs and branches, encrusted with small (1/16") hard, circular, scaly raised bumps with yellow centers, may also be on fruit. Sap feeding weakens the tree.
Pale yellow or 'dirty' green worms. Leaves are rolled and webbed together where insects feed. Eventually becomes 'skeletonized'.
They are the size of a pinhead and vary in color depending on the species. Clusters on stems and under leaves, sucking plant juices. Leaves then curl, thicken, yellow and die. Produce large amounts of a liquid waste called "honeydew". Aphid sticky residue becomes a growth media for sooty mold. Dormant Oil will kill eggs, use next dormant season, also during 1/2" green kills newly hatched except Rosy Apple Aphid.
Fruit turns brownish with lighter spots. Quickly becomes soft, rotten and unusable.
Leaves become thickened, puckered and twisted with a reddish-purple color along puckered areas. Turn yellow and drop, may completely defoliate and causes weakening of tree. Any remaining dead leaves should be removed in the fall and all debris removed from the area.
Spots on young leaves are velvety and olive green turns black; leaves wither, curl and drop. Fruit also has spots, is deformed, knotty, cracked and drops.
Bluish-gray moth. Larvae are 1" long, usually green or brown with white sports and body stripes. Feeds on young leaves and young fruits. Disfigures the fruit.
Adult is brownish-gray, 1/5" long, hard shelled beetle with a long snout and 4 humps on back. Cuts a crescent shaped hole under the fruit skins and lays eggs. Worms hatch and tunnel. Fruit drops.
Gray moth, 1/2" long. Larvae are white with a brown head, 1/2" long. Larvae burrow into twigs & fruits.
Black or brown spots appear on underside of leaves. Often the center falls out leaving a hole with a red halo. Leaves may turn yellow and fall. Fruit will also get spots, sunken areas and cracks.
Pinpoint size, many different colors. Found on undersides of leaves. Sap feeding causes bronzing of leaves. Severe infestations have some silken webbing.
Adult is a metallic green beetle, which skeletonizes leaves. Larvae are a grub, which feeds on turf roots. Check turf product labels for timing of control of grubs. This is more of a problem east of the Mississippi river.
A thick, gummy substance (sap) leaking from round holes on the trunk or in a crotch of the tree. Worms with brown heads and cream-colored bodies tunnel thru trunks that will kill the tree. Once infested, use a fine wire to try to mash or dig them out.
Small reddish-purple spots appear on young leaves then enlarge and eventually dropping out of the leaf blade leaving a "shot hole." It appears on fruit, usually in clustered as light brown spots or lesions with dark purple margins.
Hairy caterpillars that enclose large areas in webbing and feed on enclosed leaves. Remove web with rake and burn. Caterpillars are pulled out with webs.
Occurs when remnants of the flower parts are still attached to the fruit. Causing brown discoloration on the fruit under the jacket, then young fruit withers and falls off the tree. The development of the disease is likely if wet weather occurs during the bloom and jacket stage.
Pruning is a very important part of proper fruit tree care, but many people find the task overwhelming. It doesn't have to be! Keep these things in mind:
When your tree is dug up from our fields to be shipped to you, the root ball loses many of its tiny feeder roots, which are needed to absorb moisture and nutrients. Pruning helps balance the top growth of your tree with the root system, giving the roots time to re-establish in your yard before spring growth.
When your Stark Bro's bare root tree arrives, our professionals have already pre-pruned your tree for you. Because of this, you DO NOT need to prune them again when you plant. The only pruning done at this time would be any broken branches or roots.
Plan to prune your fruit trees during every dormant season. In Zone 6 and farther north, you should wait until late winter. A good reference book, such as Pruning Made Easy, can be invaluable for answering questions and guiding you through the pruning process.
Note: The basic rule for pruning the Crimson Rocket Peach is to do more thinning cuts than heading cuts.
Fruit trees develop better if they're pruned at the right times in the right ways. Here's how:
Remove weak, diseased, injured or narrow-angle branches, the weaker of any crossing or interfering branches, and one branch of forked limbs. Also remove upright branches and any that sweep back toward the center of tree. You want to keep your tree from becoming too thick and crowded; some thinning is necessary to permit light to enter the tree and to keep its height reasonable. All these objectives promote improved bearing, which is your overall aim. You'll be pleased with the results.
Select and maintain three to five main scaffold limbs arising from the trunk to control the shape of the tree. These limbs should point in different directions and originate no less than 18" and no more than 36" from the ground, balancing growth evenly between the scaffold limbs. Those branches remaining in the center above the primary scaffold branches or any growth below the scaffold branches should be cut off. Any growth arising on scaffold branches within 6" of the trunk should be removed.
If for some reason the primary scaffold branches could not be selected the previous season, they may be chosen at this time. All branches above or below the scaffold branches should be removed. Avoid cutting (heading) the main scaffold branches unless necessary to maintain balance in the tree. If one scaffold branch dominates the tree, it should be headed back to a size proportionate with the others. It is necessary to have all scaffold branches growing at approximately the same rate to maintain a well-balanced tree.
Prune back to 28-36" above the ground at planting time. After the new branches have grown 3-5", select a shoot to become the leader and scaffold limbs.
Sometimes pruning needs to be done even when the season isn't the best. If a branch is broken by the wind or by a heavy load of fruit, emergency treatment is necessary. Prune back the ragged edges; making a smooth cut that leaves no stubby stump. Fast-growing "water sprouts" can be removed as soon as you see them rather than waiting until winter.
There are several reasons to thin fruit:
Home gardeners thin fruit trees by hand. During May and June, many fruit trees will drop or abort fruit. This is a natural process that allows the tree to mature the crop load.
Trees may bear biannually, that is bear fruit every other year, bear heavy one year, then light the next year. Thin the heavy crop to correct bearing habit.
The best time to thin apricot trees is when fruit is 1 inch in diameter. Because trees are heavy producers, apricots should be severely thinned. Space fruit 6 inches apart after frost hazard has passed.
Best time to thin peach and nectarine fruit is when its about 1 to 1 1/2 inches in diameter. Spacing fruit 6 to 10 inches apart on the branch.
A proper and consistent spray schedule is important to the survival of your fruit tree. From diseases to pests, many potential issues can be prevented with spraying before they even begin! To reap its benefits, spraying should be done consistently and thoroughly following the guidelines below.
Before you begin, read and follow all instructions on labels.
Spray every 7 to 10 days or after rain with Bonide® Citrus, Fruit & Nut Orchard Spray as a protective spray for fungal diseases. May be used up to day before harvest.
Unless you're in an area where irrigation is usually needed for normal plant growth, you probably won't need to water after the first growing year. Until then, follow these guidelines to get your new trees off to a great start.
Are you ready to enjoy delicious homegrown fruit? Harvest is the time to enjoy the results of your hard work. Keep a few things in consideration as you reap the fruits of your labor: the best time to pick the fruit from your tree, and how to store the fruit.
Apricot and aprium trees will start bearing fruit in 2-5 years under normal growing conditions with proper maintenance and care.
Pick these fruits at the last minute, when they're ripe and ready to enjoy. A gentle twist will loosen all fruits that are ready.
Harvest season begins for apricots June thru August depending on the variety and location. Annual average yield per tree:
Harvest season begins June thru July depending on the variety and location. Annual average yield per tree:
Store at room temperature for a day, to bring out the finest flavor.
Espaliering is the art of training a fruit tree to grow flat up against a wall, trellis or other support frame. It is an excellent way to grow fruit trees in small spaces, or just enjoy the beauty that this two-dimensional pattern creates.
Most varieties of standard, semi-dwarf and dwarf fruit trees can be used to espalier, but if given a choice, go with a dwarf or semi-dwarf tree.
You often hear the term cordon with espalier types, which means "single, stem-like arm". In some styles of espalier, you could have multiple cordons or arms. Use 12" between cordons when you have a small space and 18" when trying to cover a large area.
In some cases, specific fruit trees naturally do better with certain espalier styles. A couple of popular styles that do well with apricot trees: hedges and fan shapes. To espalier, apricot trees need fairly heavy pruning.
Our experts will help you find the answer!
Trees that are shipped without soil to ensure good contact with soil in your yard. When shipped, they are about 3-4' tall with 3/8" or larger trunk diameter. When they mature, they will be one of three sizes*:
Matures to be about 8-10' tall and wide. Provides an abundance of full-size fruit.
Matures to be about 12-15' tall and wide. Gives maximum fruit yield per square foot.
Matures to be about 15-25' tall and 20' wide. A multi-purpose fruit and shade tree.
Top-grade, bare-root trees that give you a head start on growing. When shipped, they are about 4-5' tall with 5/8" or larger trunk diameter.
Trees in bottomless pots that allow some roots to be air pruned, so that a dense mass of productive, feeder roots can grow within the pot to make transplanting easier. Mature sizes vary. When shipped, they are about 1-2' tall.
Top-grade, potted trees chosen to give you a head start on growing. When shipped to you, they are about 3-4' tall.
*Tree sizes may vary by variety. See our Growing Guide for details.

I am a 26 year old sports nut. I love the NFL, MLB,College Hoops and College Football. I am passionate about all sports, especially college hoops. I have a tremendous case(some say too much) hometown pride. I love all Baltimore sports teams. In the college ranks, I live and die by my beloved Maryland Terrapins. I first started watching in the Walt Williams era and have been a fan ever since. No matter what the Terps record is they will always have my support and passionate following. Juan Dixon and Lonny Baxter, Steve Blake and Sean Mosley are a few of my favorite players of all time. One of the greatest moments of my life was when Drew Nicholas hit that runner at the buzzer to beat UNC- Wilmington in the first round of the 2003 tournament. I remember where I was, who I was with and what I was doinng during that shot. It will remain with me for the rest of my life.

21. Bereft of Solace
He had never seen them as such, though Gandalf had told him they were once such creatures. But not now. Not with what they had just come through. It should have been a time of triumph. How many could say they had journeyed through Moria and lived?
His heart ached for them, yet there was naught he could do. Two lay on the rocks; two had walked away. All were clothed in sorrow and despair. Gimli accepted his comfort, but these four comforted each other.
Four frolicking Hobbits of the Shire, Gandalf had once called them. 'No more,' thought Boromir.

And this year's initiative is co-sponsored by the Strategies to Overcome and Prevent (STOP) Obesity Alliance, the Partnership to Fight Chronic Disease, and the Healthy Weight Commitment Foundation. Why do we smell diabetes all over that?
A lot of the focus here…

Guys, if you're not gamers, don't take offense, but really, this is no place for you.
Having ANY KIND of compositing running fucks up game performance, and when using windowed games, you NEED to use 2D compositing.
I've tried e17, KDE, Unity, cinnamon, XFCE and LXDE, and I achieve optimal stutterless performance only in e17 and KDE with compositing disabled.
Really, try it out yourself.
Also, Unity with disable compositing on fullscreen, does something, but still is behind all other desktops.
how is this news? how would using kde affect gaming? if the claim is that compositing affects game performance then duh yeh - use lxde or something that doesn't rely on compositing
i dont even know what a power user is...
EDIT: wouldn't xinit /path/to/bin give the best performance?

Netflix's decision to use FreeBSD for their CDN was based on the technical merits of FreeBSD and because the engineers in charge of that project like FreeBSD. It's a great operating system with solid performance. It just doesn't have the mindshare of Linux-based operating systems. I use FreeBSD and Linux-based distros, and each have their strength and weaknesses.
In addition, Netflix uses plenty of Linux. Just look at the job descriptions for the open positions.

Netflix are mere mortals, while Linux is a God!
So if you ported and x socket of abiword over the net, it would probably be covered, but I can't imagine that emailing the output of grep would be. As long as you have a clear lines between the inputs, process, and outputs it shouldn't restrict GPL code from use.Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not covered by this License; they are outside its scope. The act of running the Program is not restricted, and the output from the Program is covered only if its contents constitute a work based on the Program (independent of having been made by running the Program). Whether that is true depends on what the Program does.
GPL has existed for over 20 years and the only lawsuits brought against offenders have been those who have distributed GPL-licenced _binary_ code without providing the source code.
Guy's really? Why does it seem like every time there is a story about FreeBSD there is a bunch of Linux fan boy's screaming how crappy it is. Yea maybe it doesn't have the fan base that Linux has but but I bet if look closely you'll find a lot of products that you interface with that use FreeBSD code. Aside from the fact that most of you are using MAC's that are running OSX right? guess what that's actually based on FreeBSD. Anyone heard of Juniper, JunOS? yea that's FreeBSD based. Cisco and NetApp both use a large amount of FreeBSD code in their product. If you move on from FreeBSD to the other BSD's you'll find a lot of code has move into Linux from the BSD community. OpenSSH is a product of OpenBSD community. And what, a couple of years ago some Linux programmers were trying to re-brand the a wireless driver that the OpenBSD community wrote? So the next time you feel get the urge to sit there and go BSD sux, BSD sux, BSD sux, please do us all a favor. Take your laptop outside and put 7 .45 hollow point rounds into it and take up farming because all your doing is waisting our time and showing you don't deserve all the work that our open source fore barres have provided. For the rest of us maybe it's time to look at FreeBSD again and see what Netfilx, Yahoo, Cisco, Juniper, and Apple are seeing.
I think we can all agree: BSD sucks.
This is the drawback as I see it with BSD and corporate use, there is very little incentive to release code back which your competitors can use without them doing the same. This means these companies will likely fund FreeBSD development as the 'common base' on which to build their optimized solutions, optimizations which likely never make it back since that would be like handing your competitors an advantage. I think this ends up stifling FreeBSD development compared to the situation with Linux where everyone who wants to distribute Linux is legally bound to submit their enhancements.
Obviously there's room for both practices, but I'm personally not surprised that Linux is getting much more corporate code contributions than FreeBSD.
And I agree, the 'everything BSD sucks!' comments from the peanut gallery are really annoying.

Bees and Trees in Mbale, Uganda
Working with the Mbale Coalition Against Poverty in the east of Uganda, Bees for Development are helping to train farmers to make their own low-cost beehives and set up profitable homestead apiaries. The Mount Elgon region experiences high poverty density and households need additional household income to meet families' needs. Beekeeping is environmentally friendly and can be fully integrated into farmers' existing small plots of banana, coffee and fruit crops.
This Project is supported by the Welsh Government.

Having begun improving the environmental performance of its own operations, Aspen Skiing Company is considering "greening" its supply chain and lobbying for greenhouse gas regulations. A world renowned ski resort vulnerable to global climate change, Aspen's activities often garner media attention, which can promote its causes. But these initiatives, which attempt to compel other firms to improve their environmental performance, risk a public relations backlash and charges of "greenwashing" given that Aspen's ski resorts are themselves environmentally intensive operations.
learning objective:
To explore the challenges companies face when seeking to "green" their supply chains by boycotting suppliers based on environmental concerns. Students weigh the merits of investing to reduce environmental impacts within a company's own operations versus within its supply chain, and discover the challenges of assuming a leadership role on corporate environmental issues including the need to manage several competing constituencies.
subjects covered:
Business & government relations; Demographics; Environmental protection; Environmental sustainability; Government regulations; Social responsibility; Supply chain management; Sustainability

Fox Racing Flux Helmet $99.95
At this price point it's typically one-size-awkwardly-fits-all, or else it's a simple helmet lacking adequate airflow and an effective retention system. Fox Racing, however, has an advantage — unlike the competition, the Flux is built with attention to these all-important details.
This means fewer molds and resources tied up in multiple, overlapping designs. Due to this, Fox Racing focuses its collective efforts on making the Flux one of the lightest, best-breathing, and safest helmets in this bracket. In fact, it easily passes the stringent CPSC safety standard, complete with 20 large vents, and it comfortably balances a triple-beam under the 400-gram mark.
Those features contribute to the reason that many riders often have more than one Flux on deck. But there's more to it than that. Fox Racing was one of the first to forgo the industry's tradition of remarketing visor-clad, skinny-tire helmets to mountain bikers. Starting fresh, the original Flux successfully melded additional coverage with plenty of ventilation, leaving ultra-aero, minimalist helmets for gran fondos.
A Detox fit system is quick to adjust, and it comfortably wraps the head. The Flux is constructed from expanded polystyrene foam with an in-mold shell, and Fox Racing provides seven finishes to complete any kit.
The Fox Racing Flux Helmet is available in sizes XS/S, S/M, and L/XL. It comes in the colors Acid Green, Black Camo, Black/red, Fatigue Green, Matte/black, Orange, and Snow Camo.

Great helmet
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I love this helmet. I have had a Flux ever since they first came out and I love it. Super strong, great looks, and comfortable fit. The full nelson system in the back is really great, although sometimes hard to work with gloves. I would say that it runs just a little big.
fox flux
best helmet for the money, great ventilation. I really like the adjustment features for the straps. helmet fits my head perfectly
Cam Phillips
Super stoked
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
Bought one of these on sale on a buddy's recommendation, and I am super stoked with it.
It fits well, breathes great, and offers plenty of coverage without feeling heavy or hot or interfering with my sunglasses. The visor sits up high enough where I don't feel like it impedes my vision, but still offers shade. The helmet doesn't move around whilst bombing through the chunk, and doesn't need to feel tight to do so. I like the adjustment device even more than the dial fit I have had on other lids.
I like the style, too, it has a nice MTB look as opposed to many helmets that look like roadie helmets with a visor pinned on.
Super stoked, especially for what I paid. I just recommended one to a friend.
Caro Aguilar
Pretty good helmet
I've been using this helmet for trail riding and it's pretty good, it's light you barely notice it's there, has great ventilation, you can wear sunglasses and fits perfect.
Lexi Dowdall
Nice outfit Caro!!
Suuuuppppeerrrrr CHEAP
- Familiarity: I returned this product before using it
Really disappointed in this helmet. I expected a little more from a $100 Fox helmet even if it was on sale. The fit system is the same as helmets at Walmart. For the same price get the SixSixOne Recon helmet with a BOA fit system. If money isn't a problem get the POC Trabec for $150.
Great helmet for the price.
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
Covers the back of your skull well. The fit can be a little uncomfortable unless you loosen the back fastener before putting it on.
It's a very open, airy helmet. Allows a lot of air flow through to keep your head cool.
Good purchase.
Will buy again
bought this helmet for my 6 inch bike for aggressive trail riding. vents well, adjustments are good and it fits well. works pefect with sunglasses.
Put my bike down and ate it. Hit my face hard and helmet did its job perfectly. cracked in two places. If the helmet doesnt give then your head will. Will buy again.
good helmet
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Using this helmet for commuting/trail riding. The purported ventilation is what drew me in to purchasing this helmet (although like another reviewer mentioned, my forehead can run hot in it), it's light, and the price was right, so hey! No real downsides so far, although I haven't figured out if the visor can or should be taken off.
Lexi Dowdall
Awesome picture Cassy !!!
I selected this image to feature on the Community Hub at the bottom of the Backcountry.com homepage! Congrats on being utterly GOATWORTHY !!!

Great all around helmet
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
Bought this helmet for trail riding in Sedona where it gets VERY hot in the summer.

+ Feels Light on Head
+ Fitment is Perfect
+ I Like the Detox System

When sweat builds up on my forehead and the front cushion all of a sudden a giant rush of water will start cascading down all at once.
Gary Bakken
Chris, would you or someone from Fox please elaborate on the "sweat cascading" issue? Gary
I havent had a problem with the sweat issue with this helmet more than any other helmet.

This Helmet can be used with goggles for all mountain/downhill ride?
Hi Alexander,
Yes this helmet can be used with with goggles! The goggle strap would rest right below the "fin" you can notice at the back of the helmet. If you have any additional questions, or would like me to get this order set up, contact me at email@example.com
Ben B.
Great XC / All Mtn Helmet
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
This is my second Flux helmet and still fits me better that most other options. For me the fit doesn't seem to hit my sunglasses which Ive had issues with on other models. Great venting and very easy to clean.
Vinny Mauro
Pretty Good
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
This is a pretty nice helmet. Great price relative to comparable options, good coverage for safety, not too heavy, GREAT ventilation. The only drawback to me is that I prefer to have a dial in the back that I can spin easily with one hand, the adjustment system on this is a bit trickier to do while on the trail. Once you get it dialed in though, it is very comfy and you don't know it's there.
Want a nice AM (all mountain, more protective than a classic XC helmet) style helmet without breaking into the triple digits? This is a great choice.
Sizing is pretty straight forward with only two choices, but refer to the size chart if you aren't sure.
Lexi Dowdall
Great review, Vinny~

62b- The Book of Revelation (Chapter 2:18b) - Billy Crone - Ministry Videos
Embed bcrone1 1006 views 2010-10-02T01:56:41 These videos on the Book of Revelation are an in-depth verse-by-verse study in the original Greek. They exist to offset one of the saddest trends in the American Church today, that is, a departure from the clear teaching of Bible Prophecy. You see, prophecy has a way of getting our eyes off of this world and onto Jesus for we see that this world is not going to last forever. Hence, we start living to store up treasures in heaven and not on this earth. We begin to see the futility of living for this world. Also, prophecy has a way of driving home the important truth of God's sovereignty. He is in full control at all times. So much so that God has already mapped out mankind's history and only the student of Bible Prophecy can rightly discern the times in which we live. And what a comfort it is to know that we belong to this same God Who is Sovereign over all and thus can take comfort knowing that nothing enters the sphere of our lives without His divine permission. People, Jesus is coming back! There's no doubt about it. It's time we get prepared by getting back to the clear teaching of Bible Prophecy!

White Trash Repairs is your one stop shop for some good ole, git r' done ingenuity. Instead of trying to define white trash I will leave you with some moments of white trash zen. Homemade deer blinds duct taped to trees. Smoking, pregnant strippers with rebel flag tramp stamps. Teenie boopers with I love Hitler t-shirts. Family portraits taken with lots of beer and camo. Pickup trucks with $8000, 3 foot lift kits parked in front of a $500 broke down, rusted trailer. Oh, who are we kidding? Lots and lots of trailers. Lots and lots of duct tape. Lots and Lots of camo. You fill in the rest.
We personally have nothing against rednecks or hillbillies. In fact we actually think more would get done if there were more around because they know how to look at a problem and Git-R-Done. If Bubba was running for office he would have our vote!

Mexican Coffee Bun (Rotiboy)
I have long heard about the legendary Mexican coffee bun or Rotiboy, a made-in-Malaysia bun with a crusty coffee topping and butter filling. The word "Mexican" might be misleading but this bun originated from a bakery in Bukit Mertajam, Penang, and now Mexican coffee bun is famous all over Asia, with many bakeries and copycat bakeries selling this popular Mexican coffee bun. I finally had a chance to taste this aromatic and wonderful bun when I was home in Penang earlier this year. For the Mexican coffee bun recipe, I turned to my contributor Siew Loon. Check it out and hope you get to try this bun soon.
Contributor: Ho Siew Loon
Recently an old friend of mine who has migrated to Australia started a small Malaysian bakery called Papparoti selling coffee-flavoured buns which happens to be one of my daughter's favorite. This has inspired me to revisit this Mexican coffee bun recipe and get to work. The aroma of this Mexican coffee bun bun is really tantalizing and makes you just want to eat it piping hot.
Mexican Coffee Bun is a bun stuffed with butter and has a very crispy coffee pastry topping. It is made popular by this Malaysian bakery called Rotiboy and now this bun is commonly known as "Rotiboy" in Malaysia and throughout Asia. This coffee bun is also a very popular snack in Singapore, Indonesia, Thailand, and even Korea. Mexican coffee bun is best eaten when it's just off the oven and fresh. The joy of baking this Mexican coffee bun or rotiboy is as fun as the joy of eating it hot and fresh.

I've tried coffee bun that looks like your pictures at Korean bakeries. Didn't know that it came from Malaysia…
i also thought it was from Korea coz when i was in Seoul recently & tried it (since i saw it from a Korean drama) i just fell for their roti bun or roti boy! i've been craving for these yummies once in a while! just addictive i must say!
I love Rotiboy! I'm going to try making this very soon. Thks for sharing, Bee Yinn.
W/Rgds, Rita
The description of the bun is as tempting as the pics. I can almost feel its softness in my mouth, and smell the aroma. Would love to try this one out.
whata coincidence! I am planning ot make these too. My son loves roti boy and I was s pleased to find a recipe for it several days back. And now you have one too :)) Looks beautiful :)
Delicious rotiboy, yum yum. Love the coffee aroma during baking.
Ohhhhhh I love these. They're very popular in Taiwan now too. I can't wait to try the recipe.
Those must taste divine! I love the topping.
The whole family loves this, but it's not available in Perth. I want to hug both of you :)
Thanks, Bee Yinn & Siew Loon.
Nurlia, Pls try it. It is amazing. Stuff butter into the bun.
Interesting! The Roti Boy that we get here is generally not so 'bready' inside. Inside is more hollow. The crust looks fabulous, though.
Thanks for sharing this recipe. I am tempted to make this but unsure about a couple of ingredients. Would appreciate if you could provide a little bit more info.
1) What is powdered sugar? Normally, I use caster sugar in my baking. Could I substitute it with icing sugar?
2) What is cake flour? Is this the same as self raising flour?
Thank you.
1. Yes powdered sugar is icing sugar.
2. Cake flour is superfine flour or you can just use all purpose flour.
Being pinched for time, any chance of a translation from metric to U.S. measuremnts? (I'm referring to the Mexican Coffee Bun recipe.) …and all others.
Just Google " recipe conversion metric to US " anytime you want to calculate measurements for recipes.You should bookmark the site to ease future requirements to convert.
This bread and the ingredients looks very similar to the Mexican pastry referred to as a concha. Instead of a coffee topping, however, they have sugar coating and are enjoyed with a cup of coffee or dunked into coffee. They are not an overly sweet pastry, consistent with Mexican pastries.
I love rotiboy! I've never tried making it on my own though. I may have to change that. This recipe is enticing me to try it!
I live in Sydney and just looked up Paparotti and found there is a store I can travel to and try the Mexican Coffee Bun!
Your friend owns Paparoti? You mean the one in Glen Waverley, Melbourne? It is really quite good!
His is in Warrigal Square in Brisbane.
Omg! Hahaha, I go there every afternoon to buy one it's truly addictive! The manager and his wife are super friendly; it's awesome that you're friends wow *0*
Never would have imagined that this bun actually originated from Penang of all places! Good post, and definitely one of my favourite. Pappa Rich serves a pretty good one too.
thanks! will def. be making this… it costs too much in Melbourne. AUD2.50 for one!!!!!!!!!
I just half make the rotibun up to the point you have to let it rest for the second 45 mins. I was planning to have this for breakfast tomorrow but not sure if I pack the cream away in a Tupperware it will still be good tomorrow? Also not 100% sure what do you mean by "wrap" it up? Just making it back to the original round shape? This is what I did anyway… Will see how it turn out! Thanks for sharing the recipe! Always love rotti boy that's why I had to make it tonight!
These look beautiful.
Nom Nom Nom! Just had one at papparoti in glenny. I'm going to make these tomorrow. How many would this recipe make?
My husband made your Mexican Roti Bun today, and it turned out pretty good. Wasn't the first time we made this, and your recipe was the very best. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Hi, I tried this recipe and my buns don't inflate. I proofed it the right time and was accurate with everything else, oven time and temperature, also. What could have gone wrong?
Hi Rasa Malaysia,
When you wrote "Put the cream topping into a pipping bag and pump out the cream in circles around the bun," does this mean that the cream is NOT piped onto the bun like how you would pipe frosting on a cupcake? The word 'around' is throwing me off. Please clarify.
Hi!:) Can I ask if you use instant yeast or active dry yeast? Thank you!:)
I would also like to know the answer written by Gimmmeeemorrre on December 27, 2011. You direction raised a good question that if the cream is piped around the dough, how does the final product get encased with the cream?
The cream is piped in circle motion on the top of the bun. It will melt when baked and the final product get encased with the cream.
Please refer to the link on top for the topping.
I weighed everything correctly and the dough came out sticky in the end before proofing..is it suppose to be that way or should the dough come together into one clean big lump?
bee yin, i love ur recipes!i m goin 2 try all of them
When I was in Malaysia, I fell in loved with Roti boy. ilove the smell that you can smell from a few meters away… mmmm
Then when i left and moved to china, i craved for it. and i was just sooo overjoyed to find one here, but its called "roti bun".. I will write an entry about it.
Thanks for posting this. ;-)
Hi, I love Roti Buns, but i've become somewhat vegan/vegetarian…is there anything I can do to make these eggless? If anyone has an idea, please let me know. Thanks!
Hello, I'm not sure if this will work too well- but if you search for egg substitutes usually people use ground flaxseed (which will give it a flaxseed flavour maybe though! :o) or chia seeds.
I think it's best to search the web for the most suitable substitutes but I don't think you can do this without the eggs. :)
@Srishti I use a product called Ener-G Egg Replacer. It works well in the place of eggs in baked goods. I got it at Whole Foods.
Hello, I tried the recipe and those buns tasted amazing. However, my buns did not have the "signature" crust on top of them. It seems that "all" of the topping ran down to the bottom of the buns during baking. Any ideas why? I followed the recipe to the T. Do I have to chill the topping before piping it on top of the buns, maybe? Thanks!!
any else ….
mexican vanilla, mexican strawberry and mexican pandan ….
hmmmm .
so delliciouss :)
I enjoyed these at Papparoti in Strathfield, Sydney. Might be the same old friend's bakery that you are referring to!! Stuff of dreams!
Hello:)Is it ok to knead it by hand? I dont have a dough hook:/
Hi, can I ask how many buns can this yield?
Fantastic recipe! Exactly like Rotiboy! I don't have travel back to KL for it :). One commentcomment though … topping portion seems to be too much …. I only used half of it.
Rotiboy is the Mexican Conchas with a different topping, they write this in their web page… "the one and only "rotiboybun", which has since become the generic name of the Mexican bun recipe it was based on". I try Rotiboy in Jakarta and love it! I'm glad I found your page by accident as I was looking for the recipe for a very long time. Thank you for sharing.

South Korea is an often-overlooked jewel in the crown of Asia Pacific's numerous tourism hotspots.
It occupies the southern portion of the Korean peninsula, a mountainous neck of land extending 680 miles from the Asian mainland, flanked by the Sea of Japan to the east and the Yellow Sea to the west.
The country can be divided into four broad regions – the east, with its towering peaks and narrow coastal plains, the mountains and valleys of the south-west, the south-east, which is dominated by the Nakdong River and its broad basin, and the west, which is characterised by wide coastal plains.
Seoul is the capital city and arguably the best known attraction in South Korea. With a population of more than ten million, it's a true megacity and is home to almost a quarter of all South Koreans.
Although it's one of the world's technology hubs, Seoul is also a historic and cultural mecca, having been the capital for more than 600 years. It's a genuine city of two faces, with looming skyscrapers sharing the skyline with UNESCO World Heritage-listed royal palaces.
Away from its bustling metropolises, South Korea is dominated by spectacular scenery. Almost exactly in the centre of the country lies Mount Woraksan, which is a popular haunt for hikers, while a string of beautiful beaches in Jungmun, Naksan and Gyeongpo are famed for its relaxing sand baths and crystal clear water.
