Which of these two scenarios sounds more vibrant for overall quality of life and health?
The wind on your face, the sun on your skin, you talk with a local farmer about the size and taste of this year's harvest of peaches, as you pop a slice in your mouth. After tasting several different varieties, you choose your favorite one, walking away with a great memory of the farmer in your mind.
You stand shivering in the freezer section at your local mega-mart, your eyes begin to glaze over from the halogen lights and the neon-colored cardboard boxes containing substances claimed to be food products? You decide on the one with the least amount of additives and make your way to the self-check-out line, excited to get in your car and out of the supermarket.
Clearly, most of us would agree that the first scenario, at the local farmer's market, is much more appealing than a trip to a big chain grocery store. But what, besides the aesthetic factor, are some of the other benefits of supporting your local farmers market? Here are ten reasons why I believe you should shop at your local farmers market.
1. Buying Locally
Buying from your local farmer allows you to support local agriculture. This means that the food you are eating comes from nearby, and does not require us to waste lots of energy and petroleum to ship the food halfway around the world. You are eating food in your own environment, where it has perfectly-created nutrients for your specific climate and region. You are also supporting the environment by reducing the usage of fossil fuels.
2. Cheaper Organic Fruits & Veggies
You can find a variety of fresh, organic produce at more affordable prices than in a supermarket. There are also many farmers that carry products that are not technically "organic," (as this is a costly and often beurocratic-heavy process), but have many low-priced foods that are pesticide and herbicide free. The advantage at a farmers market is that you can actually talk to the farmer, learn about their methods, and then decide for yourself and in most cases they will allow you to come and visit their farm.
3. Supporting Your Local Economy & Farmers
You are supporting human beings and the local economy, not massive agribusiness GMO food conglomerates.
Not only will your money be staying in your area, but you will happily please the farmer that worked to grow that food. Your belly will remember the farmer's smile as they handed you that juicy peach.
4. Eat Seasonally
By shopping at the local farmers market, you will eat seasonally, fresh and ripe. This is another great way to increase your overall health. Supermarkets offer too much variety and the food is picked before it has ripened decreasing the vitality. The body does not need to be eating imported pineapple in the dead of a Montana winter!
5. Safer Foods
Food from your local farmers market is generally safer. Remember the recent outbreaks of E. coli in bagged spinach? These things happen mostly in large industrial settings, where business-men work to mass produce food, preserve it and bag it in mass amounts.
6. Fresher Fruits & Veggies
The food from your local farmers market is, quite frankly, fresher. Because it was grown locally, there is a good chance that the apple you buy from the farmer was picked a few days ago. This is virtually impossible in a big supermarket.
7. Great Variety
There is usually an amazing variety of fruits and veggies at your local farmers market. Each farmer may have his own method for growing tomatoes or peppers. This is something that never happens at a grocery store.
8. Better Taste
There is no doubt that locally-grown foods just simply taste better. You will never be able to eat a carrot from the grocery store again!
9. It's Healthy!
There's just no way around it, eating fresh, locally-grown fruits and veggies are great for your health.
Buy yourself some local honey, which is sold at most local farmer markets. It has just the right components for allergy prevention in your neck of the woods, not to mention it's tasty!
10. Most Importantly — It's Fun!
We stated it in the beginning, but farmers markets are just plain fun for the whole family. Meeting your local community is an excellent way to feel connected to the world around you, increasing health for body, mind and spirit.
Or Just Start Your Own Organic Garden
An even better solution would be to grow your own food by creating an organic garden in your yard or even on your balcony. Of course, this will take extra time and money, which alot of us seem to lack these days.
Why do you shop at your local farmers market? Let me hear your reasons.

A Dovahkiin or Dragonborn is a mortal man or woman born with the soul of a dragon, or what the dragons would call "Dovah Sos" (dragonblood).[1] It enables them to use the dragon's ability to absorb a slain dragon's soul, thereby receiving knowledge of the Thu'um rather than having to learn it through practice.[2] The player is Dragonborn in Skyrim.
St. Alessia was the first person to be associated with the title Dragonborn.[3] She is believed to have had the blood of a dragon due to Akatosh making a covenant with Alessia to seal the Gates of Oblivion. Since then, there have been many tales of heroes of the dragons' blood who would "kill dragons and steal their power". The ability to absorb dragon souls came first to the dragon priest Miraak, since then all known dragonborns could learn powerful shouts much quicker than other mortals who require many years of meditation to comprehend. The monks known as the Greybeards of High Hrothgar become masters of the Way of the Voice under the leadership of Paarthurnax, taking in those willing to learn and guiding dragonborns to their full potential.
Tiber Septim, the first of the Septim Emperors, and Reman Cyrodiil were Dragonborn, and it was believed, through the Amulet of Kings, that all of the heirs of the Septim and Reman Dynasties possessed "dragonblood". It is also suspected that Wulfharth was Dragonborn, as he was also known as "Ysmir, the Dragon of The North", which is a title associated with the Dragonborn, including Tiber Septim and the player character in Skyrim. Tiber Septim was also known as "Stormcrown", another title given to the player character by the Greybeards when formally anointed as Dragonborn.
[edit] Notes
- It is interesting to note that although "Dovah Kiin" translates to "Dragonborn", "Dov Ah Kin", as a three-word dragon name, translates to "Dragonkind Hunter Born", or "Born Hunter of Dragonkind", a possible reference to the fact that the Dovahkiin is supposed to be the ultimate dragon hunter.
- In response to confusion in the Bethesda Softworks Forums about the announcement of the first Dragonborn in the Dragonborn official add-on who wasn't St. Alessia, Michael Kirkbride said: "Alessia didn't have the power to absorb dragon souls. Hers was a much more nuanced power: to dream of liberty and give it a name and on her deathbed make Covenant with the Aka-Tusk."[OOG 1]

Athletics 3, Indians 2
OAKLAND, Calif. (AP)
Stephen Vogt can really fly. Especially for a catcher, as he cheerfully points out.
With the game tied in the seventh, Vogt took off from first on Eric Sogard's two-out double and beat the throw home to score the go-ahead run in Oakland's 3-2 victory over the Cleveland Indians on Friday night.
''I can run,'' Vogt said, smiling. ''I played a lot of outfield in the minor leagues and I've been able to run a little bit, for a stereotypical catcher.''
Yoenis Cespedes hit a two-run homer in the first, and Sogard came through yet again with a timely hit.
The A's gained ground on first-place Texas in the AL West race for the second straight day, pulling within a half-game after the Rangers lost at home to Seattle.
''Every one's huge now,'' Sogard said. ''We're not in the middle of the game looking at the scoreboard, though.''
Former A's fan favorite Nick Swisher tied the game at 2 in the seventh with an RBI single, and winner Sean Doolittle (4-4) walked the bases loaded before getting out of it with only the one run. Swisher, booed at every chance, grounded out with runners on first and second to end the eighth.
Grant Balfour pitched the ninth for his 31st save in 32 chances, allowing a one-out walk to Carlos Santana and Michael Brantley's single before Asdrubal Cabrera lined into a game-ending double play as the A's held on to win for the first time in five tries this year against the Indians.
Cleveland All-Star Justin Masterson (13-9) lost consecutive decisions for just the second time this season. He allowed three runs and seven hits in 7 2-3 innings after coming off his shortest outing of the year, 4 1-3 innings in which he allowed five runs and seven hits against the Angels.
He is still looking for his first victory in the Oakland Coliseum. He dropped to 0-5 with a 7.71 ERA in six appearances and five starts.
''We couldn't catch a break,'' Masterson said. ''We were getting some good at-bats. We got guys on, we weren't able to get that extra one.''
A's starter A.J. Griffin escaped a bases-loaded jam in the fifth but his pitch count climbed in a hurry and he was done after five innings and 104 pitches. The right-hander's winless stretch reached three starts since getting victories in four of his previous five outings.
''That many pitches in five innings and you're feeling good about yourself,'' Indians manager Terry Francona said. ''But when you get to the bullpen, this is one of the few teams who can run some pretty good guys out there.''
The A's held on in their home ballpark after being swept in a four-game series in Cleveland from May 6-9, being outscored 21-8. In the third game of the series, Adam Rosales was denied a ninth-inning home run and given a double by the umpires in a 4-3 A's loss - even after going to replay. Major League Baseball the next day said the umpires made an ''improper call,'' but executive vice president Joe Torre said the ''judgment'' decision is final.
Griffin and Masterson matched up in that one, too.
On Friday, the Indians got on the board in the third on Carlos Santana's single to right. Gold Glove right fielder Josh Reddick wildly overthrew third baseman Josh Donaldson trying to get Swisher. The ball hit the facing of the Oakland dugout and bounced back onto the field, where Donaldson grabbed it and threw home not knowing the play was dead and Swisher would score. Meanwhile, Griffin went sliding into the dirt on his knees apparently thinking he could stop the ball from reaching the dugout.
Reddick made a nice reaching catch at the warning track on a hard hit ball by Michael Bourn in the fifth to rob him of an extra-base hit, then Cespedes chased down a drive by Brantley for the third out of the inning as the Indians left the bases loaded.
NOTES: The Indians matched a season high by stranding 13 baserunners. ... A's CF Coco Crisp is still dealing with stiffness in his troublesome left wrist and sat out three days after receiving a cortisone injection. ... Indians RHP Corey Kluber, on the 15-day disabled list with a sprained right middle finger, played catch from 90 feet in right field before the game. He will extend out to 120 feet Saturday. ''He's kind of flying through this,'' Francona said. ... Cleveland RHP Carlos Carrasco has been moved to the bullpen for now. He allowed 10 hits and four earned runs in 4 1-3 innings Wednesday at Minnesota. Recalled last Friday from Triple-A Columbus, he is winless in seven starts this year and hasn't won since June 29, 2011, at Arizona. ... Francona on Cleveland reserve Jason Giambi, former A's slugger: ''He's been a blessing to all of us here. There's some wear and tear on those tires, he's got some miles on them. But he's still a presence in the batter's box.'' ... Indians RHP Brett Myers, out since April 20 with right elbow inflammation, threw his fourth bullpen and is set for a simulated game Sunday at Double-A Akron.

The iPad was supposed to change the face of computing, to be a completely new form of digital experience. But what Steve Jobs showed us yesterday was in fact little more than a giant iPhone. A giant iPhone that doesn't even make calls. Many were expecting cameras, kickstands and some crazy new form of text input. The iPad, though, is better defined by what isn't there.
Many people will bemoan the lack of support for Adobe's interactive software, Flash. It wasn't mentioned, but eagle-eyed viewers would have seen the missing plugin icon on the New York Times site during yesterday's demo, and given that Apple clearly hates Flash as both a non-open web "standard" and as a buggy, CPU-hungry piece of code, it's unlikely it will ever be added, unless Apple decides it wants to cut the battery life down to two hours.
Who needs Flash, anyway? YouTube and Vimeo have both switched to H.264 for video streaming (in Chrome and Safari, at least — Firefox doesn't support it), and the rest of the world of Flash is painful to use.
In fact, we think the lack of Flash in the iPad will be the thing that finally kills Flash itself. If the iPad is as popular as the iPhone and iPod Touch, Flash-capable browsers will eventually be in the minority.
One of the biggest rumors said that there would be two iPads, one with an OLED screen and one without. But as our own Apple-master Brian X Chen pointed out, an OLED panel of this size runs to around $400. Add in the rest of the hardware and even the top-end $830 model wouldn't be making Apple much money.
OLED also has some dirty secrets. It may be more colorful, but it uses more power than an LED backlit screen when all the diodes are lit up (white on black text is where OLED energy savings shine). It is also rather dim in comparison, and making an e-reader that you can't use outdoors would be a stupid move from Apple.
The iPad is meant to be an easy-to-use appliance, not an all-purpose computer. A USB port would mean installing drivers for printers, scanners and anything else you might hook up. But there is a workaround: the dock connector. Apple has already announced a camera connection kit, a $30 pair of adapters which will let you either plug the camera in direct or plug in an SD card to pull off the photos.
The subtle message here is that it's not a feature for the pros: the lack of a Compact Flash slot in that adapter says "amateur photographers only."
Expect a lot more of these kinds of accessories, most likely combined with software. How long can it be before, say, EyeTV makes an iPad-compatible TV tuner?
Apple put a compass inside every iPad, so you'd think that there would be a GPS unit in there, too. The Wi-Fi-only models get nothing, just like the iPod Touch, but more surprising is that the 3G iPads come with Assisted GPS.
Assisted GPS can be one of two things, both of which which offload some work to internet servers and use cell-tower triangulation. The difference is that some AGPS units have real GPS too, and some don't. We'll know which the iPad has as soon as we get our hands on one.
Update: Several readers have pointed out that Apple uses the term A-GPS for the iPhone 3G, which makes it very likely that the GPS capability is of the proper, satellite-navigation kind. This "Assisted GPS" is "just GPS (the U.S. space-based global navigation satellite system) plus faster signal lock with assistance from cell towers." (Thanks, Nathan!)
From the demonstrations at the Jobsnote it appears that, like the iPhone, we can't run applications in the background. This will annoy many Wired readers, but it will not matter at all to the target user, who will be using the iPad to browse and consume media. In fact, this user will benefit, as the lack of CPU-cycle-sucking background processes is likely a large part of that ten-hour battery life.
If you are authoring content, like this post, then multiple browser windows, a text editor, a mail client and a photo editor all make sense. If you're reading an e-book, not so much.
Nobody really thought the iPad would have a physical keyboard. That won't stop the whining, though. The difference, again, between the iPad and a MacBook is that one is a multi-purpose device and the other is a media player.
The fact that Apple actually has made an optional keyboard for it is the biggest surprise (apart from the iPad's base $500 price). In fact, this little $70 keyboard will mean that, despite its simplified nature, the iPad is enough laptop for many people. Why bother with a $400 netbook when you can have this instead?
No video camera, no stills camera, and no webcam. The first two will likely never make it into a future iPad, as we all have our iPhones or actual cameras with us, too. But the lack of a webcam is odd, as it closes off the possibility of using the iPad as a videophone.
I figure this is a cost-saving measure on Apple's part. Too bad, though, as it is the only thing that stops me buying an iPad for my parents, whom I talk to on Skype. There seems to be no other reason not to have a webcam in the bezel other than price. We expect to see one in v2.0.
iPhone users hate AT&T, but the only alternative is T-Mobile, whose coverage isn't as good. Until Verizon switches to the world-standard GSM SIM card, don't expect to see an Apple product on its network. You can forget all those Verizon iPhone rumors right now.
The iPad screen is a relatively square, by today's standards, with an old-school 4:3 screen aspect ratio. This is not ideal for watching widescreen movies: you get a thick black "letterbox" bar top and bottom. But take another look at the hardware: the Apple on the back, and the position of the home button both tell us that the iPad is meant to be used in portrait mode, at least most of the time. And a 16:9 aspect ratio in this orientation would look oddly tall and skinny, like an electronic Marilyn Manson.
It's a compromise, and a good one. If you really do spend most of your time watching movies on the iPad, maybe you should think about buying, you know, a big TV.
There will be video out, likely through the dock connector, as Jobs said during his presentation that you'll be able to hook the iPad up to a projector. But no HDMI out? How do you hook it up to your HD monitor?
The short answer is that you don't. The maximum audience for an iPad screening is two. You want more? Use your laptop and hook that up, or your desktop machine. Remember, there are two kinds of people who will buy the iPad. One, nerds like you and me, who care about things like HDMI and also already own a computer that can do that.
And two, people who are buying this instead of a computer. Those people will probably still have DVD collections, or even VCRs. They don't even know what HDMI is. I think I can guess what Apple thought about putting another expensive connector into the machine just to please a few geeks.

Our New York state government is trying to reinvent the wheel. For years, it has been "studying" the effect of hydrofracking on our environment and health. We should gather data from states which currently permit fracking. Then, we would have facts rather than assumptions.
I predict following this path will show that New York's environment is not materially different than the fracking states and that ill effects are not significant. How could those states permit fracking if it were dangerous?
This topic is a political football, and our government is stalling. In the meantime, we are losing valuable jobs and badly needed tax revenue. Furthermore, natural gas is cheaper and cleaner burning than other fossil fuels. We could be independent from the Middle East!
The fracking industry is not asking for tax incentives, and yet New York finds it necessary to offer our tax money to induce other industries to invest here. No wonder New York ranks 49th in business friendliness.

With the News of the World closure announced yesterday, it seems that Newscorp may have finally caught up with the public mood and are trying to get a grip on the narrative of this crisis, writes Charlie Beckett. But this move also marks a key moment in the balance between the news media and authority, with journalists now fearing that they will be subject to calls for wider restrictions on their legitimate role in holding power to account.

Manufacturer: Passier
Model: Grand Gilbert & PSL
Category: Dressage Saddles
Purchase: I bought my first Passier from Buck's Saddlery for $850. This saddle is used but in perfect condition. It is very comfortable and fits the horse and myself perfect. The leather is so soft and supple and the saddle puts the rider in a very correct position. Liked this saddle so much i bought a used Passier Grand Gilbert on ebay for $1,200. Like this one even better.
Likes: The leather is so soft and supple; puts rider in correct position and is very comfortable to sit in
Dislikes: The 1 thing would be that i have very short legs and the flaps on both my Passier's are 19" long
Quality: Quality is great on both my saddles; both being used there was not a sign of wear or stitches coming out; the leather is very soft and butter like.
Summary: I would only buy Passier as these saddles seem to make riders happy and tend to fit most horses quite well. Many riders at my barn ride in Passier saddles.

BEIJING (Reuters) - Blind Chinese dissident Chen Guangcheng appealed on Thursday for asylum in the United States, throwing into doubt a deal used to coax him out of hiding in the U.S. embassy in Beijing and fanning U.S.-China tensions at a sensitive time.
The standoff appears particularly troublesome for the Obama administration, with Chen saying he now fears for his and his family's safety if he stays in China, as was planned under the deal that Washington called a good outcome for the dissident.
Chen, a self-taught legal activist, left the embassy on Wednesday and is now under Chinese control in a Beijing hospital. He had taken refuge at the mission for six days after escaping house arrest and left after U.S. officials assured him that Beijing had promised to improve his circumstances.
But Chen said on Thursday by telephone from hospital, where he was escorted by U.S. officials and was being treated for a broken foot, that he had changed his mind after speaking to his wife who spoke of recent threats made against his family.
"I feel very unsafe. My rights and safety cannot be assured here," he said. His family, who were with him at the hospital, backed his decision to try to reach the United States, he added.
The activist, citing descriptions from his wife, Yuan Weijing, said his family had been surrounded by Chinese officials who menaced them and filled the family home. Chen, from a village in rural Shandong province, has two children.
"When I was inside the American embassy, I didn't have my family, and so I didn't understand some things. After I was able to meet them, my ideas changed."
A senior U.S. official later said the United States was seeking to clarify Chen's wishes and continued to discuss his fate with the Chinese government.
"When we feel that we have a clear view of what his final decision is, we will do what we can to help him achieve that," the official said.
The timing of the Chen case comes at a fragile time for both nations: U.S. President Barack Obama will be sensitive to any criticism of the handling of Chen in the run-up to a November presidential election and China is struggling to push through its own leadership transition late this year.
That carefully choreographed transition has already been wrong-footed by the downfall of ambitious senior Communist Party official Bo Xilai after he was caught up in a scandal linked to the apparent murder of a British businessman.
U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton found herself in the eye of the diplomatic storm on Thursday, turning up for the opening of annual bilateral talks in Beijing which have been overshadowed, but not derailed, by the Chen case.
She used the occasion to urge China to protect human rights but made no specific mention of Chen, whom she had spoken to on Wednesday after he left the embassy.
"Of course, as part of our dialogue, the United States raises the importance of human rights and fundamental freedoms," Clinton said. "We believe all governments have to answer our citizens' aspirations for dignity and the rule of law and that no nation can or should deny those rights."
Despite Chen's change of heart about staying in China, it was unclear if he would be able to travel to the United States. Having left the embassy and the protection of U.S. authorities, his fate is now in the hands of the Chinese government.
U.S. officials appeared no longer to be with him on Thursday, with the dissident saying he had still not had an opportunity to explain his change of heart to the U.S. side.
"I hope the U.S. will help me leave immediately. I want to go there for medical treatment," Chen said from the hospital, where a pack of camera crews and reporters was waiting outside, kept away from the entrance by a few police.
Washington had hoped its deal with Beijing over Chen would defuse the crisis, with both Clinton and U.S. Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner in the Chinese capital for this week's bilateral talks - in which the United States will aim to secure more cooperation from China on trade and international flashpoints such as North Korea, Iran and Syria.
Under the deal, according to U.S. officials, Chen and his family would have been relocated within the country in safety and he would be allowed to pursue his studies.
But Chinese authorities have taken a tough tone, criticising what they called U.S. meddling and demanding an apology for the way U.S. diplomats handled the case.
Chinese President Hue Jintao made no mention of the Chen case in his remarks to the U.S.-China talks but stressed that the two nations needed trust.
"It is impossible for China and the United States to see eye-to-eye on every issue, but both sides must know how to respect each other," he said.
Earlier, Chen directed a personal appeal to Obama in comments aired on CNN: "I would like to say to President Obama, please do everything you can to get our family out."
Chen, 40, is a legal activist who campaigned against forced abortions under China's "one-child" policy. He escaped 19 months of house arrest, during which he and his family faced beatings and threats, on April 22.
U.S. officials had said Chen left the embassy of his own free will because he wanted to be reunited with his wife and children. They said he wanted to remain in China and never asked for asylum.
Chen's dramatic escape from house arrest and his flight last week to the U.S. embassy have made him a symbol of resistance to China's shackles on dissent, and the deal struck by Beijing and Washington would have kept him an international test case of how tight or loose those restrictions remain.
Now, however, his change of mind throws not only his own future into doubt but also raises questions about the wider U.S.-China relationship.
It could also prove politically costly for U.S. President Obama, who has already been accused of being soft on China by Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney and who could now face further criticism over Chen's case.
What initially appeared to be a foreign policy success for the Obama administration could quickly turn into a liability.

I don't really understand what's the reason why people gotta be so jerk. now show me why north korea is gonna cause the worst war ever, because I can't understand. if u're a country which's facing poverty crisis and many other economical problems; do u think this is the perfect moment to start a war? i don't think so. everybody, with a little of cleverness, can figure out that this ain't absolutely the moment to do this.
I would like to point out what I take to be a mistake in the paragraph on Spanish Princess Cristina. She has not been merely summoned, or "subpoenaed" by the court. It is going much worse with her: she has been "imputada", that is, formally accused of involvement in her husband's scheme. This is why it is such a blow for the Spanish monarchy.
One wonders does this London based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights specify in its reports on conflict's casualties what part of the whole number is inflicted by the government forces and what by their Islamist adversaries?
If they don't, why? If they do, why The Economist omits this vital part of information?
Nuclear Bombs: a force for peace or the catalyst for Global War
It has been reported that Germany has, since 1990, built and supplied Israel with four Diesel-electric, Type 800, Dolphin Class submarines capable of carrying nuclear-armed, cruise missiles (SLCMs) with a range of 1500 km, (940 miles) and will be delivering a further two vessels in 2014 and 2017. Each is estimated to cost over US$500 million and is heavily subsidised, often unwittingly, by the German taxpayer.
More importantly, these submarines give Israel a second nuclear strike capability in addition to its estimated underground arsenal of between 300-400 nuclear warheads all of which are undeclared to the IAEA - the UN nuclear inspectorate. (Note: North Korea, by comparison, is estimated to possess no more than 3 or 4 nuclear-armed missiles, if any).
It is assumed that at least two SLCM-armed submarines of the Israeli navy are already patrolling unseen under the Mediterranean giving them access to potential targets in Gaza, Lebanon, Jordan, Syria, Turkey, Bulgaria, Greece, Cyprus, Bosnia, Italy, France, Spain, Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, Libya and Egypt - and possibly also to Iraq, Slovenia, Austria and Portugal - i.e. to many EU member states and to most of southern Europe and North Africa.
Israel, with a population of only 7 million, is of course, the only nuclear power in the Middle East and the only undeclared nuclear weapons state in the world with an arsenal of WMD and a nuclear-armed submarine fleet estimated to be more powerful than any major European country including France, Britain or Germany.

PC-BSD - Making FreeBSD on the desktop a reality
FreeBSD on the Desktop
While FreeBSD is a all-around great operating system, it is greatly lagging behind in desktop appeal. Why is this? In this talk, we will take a look at some of the desktop drawbacks of FreeBSD, and how are are attempting to fix them through PC-BSD.
FreeBSD has a reputation for its rock-solid reliability, and top-notch performance in the server world, but is noticeably absent when it comes to the vast market of desktop computing. Why is this? FreeBSD offers many, if not almost all of the same open-source packages and software that can be found in the more popular Linux desktop distributions, yet even with the speed and reliability FreeBSD offers, a relative few number of users are deploying it on their desktops.
In this presentation we will take a look at some of the reasons why FreeBSD has not been as widely adopted in the desktop market as it has on the server side. Several of the desktop weaknesses of FreeBSD will be shown, along with how we are trying to fix these short-comings through a desktop-centric version of FreeBSD, known as PC-BSD. We will also take a look at the package management system employed by all open-source operating systems alike, and some of the pitfalls it brings, which may hinder widespread desktop adoption.

Red Sox lose to Yankees on wild pitch
Boston falls short of 4-game sweep after coming back in ninth
Ichiro Suzuki scored on Brandon Workman's wild pitch with two outs in the ninth inning Sunday, and the New York Yankees overcame Mariano Rivera's blown save for a 4-3 victory over the Boston Red Sox that prevented a four-game sweep.
Robinson Cano hit a two-run double and the Yankees finally quieted Boston's booming bats behind starter Hiroki Kuroda. They took a one-run lead into the ninth inning before Rivera, called on to start the eighth, gave up a wind-aided homer to streaking Will Middlebrooks.
Suzuki hit a one-out single off Workman (5-3) in the bottom half, stole second and advanced to third on Vernon Wells' fly to right.
Workman then fired a high pitch that deflected off the mitt of catcher Jarrod Saltalamacchia and caromed away off the backstop, allowing Suzuki to score easily.

Well, where to start? I am a third grade teacher, cheerleading coach, and cupcake baker extraordinaire! I like to keep busy but I always make time for things that are important to me, family, friends, spontaneous dance parties, that sort of thing. As for what I'm looking for? I've discovered I really don't have a type. I'm just looking to meet someone who's sweet, fun-loving, honest, and down to earth. Also, manners are key! I'm really not a fan of meeting guys at bars after everyone has had one too many drinks so here I am! PS - extra brownie points if you love country music.

The financial-services company cut a deal, which requires court approval, with investor plaintiffs to settle the federal case, The Wall Street Journal reported Friday.
Underwriters like J.P. Morgan Chase were accused in the suit of requiring investors who got shares of hot initial public offerings during the stock market bubble of 1999 and 2000 to buy more shares at higher prices once trading began. That had the effect of artificially inflating the price of the IPO shares, plaintiffs argued.

elegant comfortable barstools High quality materials. Loved the design. Well constructed. Came fully assembled and well packaged. This was exactly what we were looking for at a very good price. The only negative was that the small plastic gliders on the bottom of the legs were marking our new wooden floor. We replaced them with felt gliders which solved the problem. Be careful if you are using these on a wooden floor but easily remedied. We bought 2 then bought 2 more.

You won't be disappointed I am thankful I read reviews on these. I do really like these barstools, as do most people who come over to visit--they often comment on how they like the low back and how they don't protrude over the top of the bar. They are cool cause they just slide right under by bar-height counter. They are good for kids.. seem very sturdy and clean up well and easy to maneuver. They are a little more spendy than other stools I saw on overstock, but they COME ASSEMBLED, which is why you pay more, I assume. No flaws on delivery. Only thing is that the legs are black but some have kind of a dark reddish tint to the tme in the light. Not sure if that's a flaw or if that's just how they are. They are very nice and i do definitely recommend them!

Great barstools I bought these based on the positive feedback, and I'm really glad I did. They are very nice looking and comfortable. I tried a lot of barstools, but I could always feel the front wood of the seat under the cushion, making them uncomfortable to sit on for long. These are well padded and you can't feel the wood on the seat. Also, you don't slide forward like you do on most leather stools. Very well made and worth the price.

Cosmo barstools Been looking for new barstools for a while now. Pleased with this purchase! Material soft and smooth, and the best part (so says my husband) NO ASSEMBLY REQUIRED!!! My sink looks over the bar to the kitchen table and window. And I really like the fact that the backs of the chair are comfy, but I can see over them to company at table or out the window. My old ones, the backs were very tall and IN THE WAY of my view. Loves these. Comfy, sturdy, well made. I give them an 'A'.

Comfortable, chic and functional Love these barstools! We've had them for three years now and they've held up perfectly. They are comfortable, chic, and functional, as well as easy to clean. The leather is high quality - it doesn't look cheap like some leather barstools. I also love the height of the back of the barstool - enough for support but not so high that it blocks the view of the kitchen from our living area.

More than any other piece of golf equipment, golf clubs affect the size of your golf handicap -- and the size of your wallet -- so you want to make sure you find golf clubs that are right for your golf game. Nowadays, it is difficult to figure out which set of golf clubs is the right set. Golf club shafts used to be made from hickory but are now made from steel or carbon fiber (called graphite).
