-> Meeting Announcement <-
The WVBA Executive Board will be meeting on Saturday, September 10th. This meeting was not on the schedule shared earlier this year so please be sure to add this to your calendar.
Announcement from WVBA President Paul Cappas
A warm greeting from the WVBA to all members. We are embarking on a new season with the bees and there is excitement in the air, not to mention rain. The spring rains are following closely on the heels of a mild winter and a late frost, which may be impacting our honey bee health.
I received a call today from our state apiarist, Wade Stiltner, requesting our association get the word out to our members of a statewide CAUTION ALERT. The WV Department of Agriculture has issued this alert to put beekeepers in a watch and inspect mode. The late frost and heavy rains have seriously affected the Poplar bloom, and our bees may be at risk for severe shortages of forage. An especially heavy Autumn Olive flow has stimulated a rapid buildup of brood and production, but Wade states there is little Poplar bloom in any of the areas he is watching.
Increased vigilance by seasoned beekeepers and new beekeepers is advised and a word to the wise is check your bees frequently. This has been the most active swarm season I have ever seen and those colonies and our newly purchased packages and nucs are especially vulnerable. Please talk to your beekeeping friends and club members to spread the word of this CAUTION.
I will sprinkle in some good news while I have your attention. Michael Staddon has accepted the position of part time state apiary inspector. Michael hails from North Central Beekeepers, where he holds the position of president. Michael is a WV Master Beekeeper and lecturer as well. Wade Stiltner has initiated Michael's training and will continue to supplement that experience throughout our state as opportunities present themselves. Michael is working on the backlog of inspections in our areas of the state and welcomes inquires to his email at firstname.lastname@example.com .
Many thanks to Commissioner Walt Helmick on this appointment. We look forward to seeing Michael in our apiaries and before our clubs as educator.
Reminder to all clubs that June 4th is the executive board meeting at Waffle Hut in Flatwoods, so please make plans now for a representative to attend.
The purpose of the organization shall be to promote the general interest in the pursuit of bee culture. This is accomplished by promoting awareness about honey bees, their fight for survival, what can be done to aid their survival and the support of beekeepers. This is achieved through Newsletters, Spring and Fall Conferences, involvement with West Virginia Agriculture and Conservation Day at the Legislature activities which promote the honey bee and products of the hive, and far more widely via this website which has the power to reach a global readership.

Green Building Wars Rage
The Green Globes rating system is "greenwash," according to an open letter to the Green Building Initiative's (GBI) board of directors.
The letter, spearheaded by Greenwash Action, a joint initiative of Sierra Club and Greenpeace, and signed by several environmental and green building groups including the Natural Resources Defense Council and International Living Future Institute, urges GBI to stop attacking LEED and calls GBI's Green Globes into question.
"Either strengthen Green Globes so that it embodies the same level of performance (or better) as LEED in the areas in which Green Globes is relatively weak, or reposition it and be forthright about the fact that it is not equivalent to more rigorous rating systems like LEED and the Living Building Challenge," it says.
It follows closely on the heels of a GBI-funded study from Drexel University that found the Green Globes certification process is significantly less expensive to conduct and faster to complete than LEED certification.
Since 2006, when the Canadian-based Green Globes standard first launched in the US, it's been gunning for its US-based rival. The GSA's October decision to recommend the Green Globes building standard as an alternative to LEED, for federal buildings outside the GSA portfolio, proved a significant win for the upstart certification. Two months later, in another victory for the Green Globes, the US Department of Defense decided to allow its facilities to use the green building certification program.
Reader Comments
To set the record clear, the Green Building Initiative is a national standards development organization accredited by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI). Our green building standard for new construction (2010) is the only national standard for nonresidential construction accredited by ANSI. GBI does not "attack" other organizations or standards. We offer a competitive alternative suite of green building rating systems that many organizations use to execute their sustainability commitments in new construction and ongoing operations. GBI's 2010 standard was studied for a year by Pacific Northwest National Laboratory and found to be equivalent to the LEED standard in meeting Federal sustainability guidelines for new and existing buildings, hence the endorsement by GSA and the DOD last fall. We are currently updating the 2010 ANSI standard and are seeking participants in the process. Any interested party can participate, either as a committee member or stakeholder. To register your interest, go to http://www.thegbi.org and follow the ANSI links.

I'm a fish-loving, egg-eating vegetarian. The problem? After upping the ante on my workouts, I became ravenously hungry throughout the day. I was finding it tough to stay satisfied without compromising my choice of diet or nutrition. After chatting with my friend Gwen, a healthy eating specialist, about my never-ending hunger, she suggested I add more whole grains to my diet to help fill me up.
There, in the middle of the bulk section, Gwen offered cooking tips and pointed me to recipes. With containers full of quinoa and oat groats (both of which I'd never heard of before then), she sent me home to explore.
That day, I added these amazing, easier-to-make-than-you-might-think whole grains to my repertoire. Here are some of the nuggets she shared.
Cooking Grains the Traditional Way
With Gwen's guidance and through research of my own, I've discovered there's more to this whole grains game than brown rice. From quinoa (my fave) to bulgur, amaranth and more, whole grains are delicious and simple to prepare. (See our Guide to Grains for a full rundown of grain varieties and cooking suggestions.)
Not all whole grains require pre-soaking and some cook in a matter of minutes. Check out a few no-frills ways to prepare some of these tasty nutrient-packed foods that cook up in 30 minutes or less:
(Directions for 1 cup grains each)
Think Outside the (Brown Rice) Box
One of the biggest concerns with cooking whole grains is the perception that they take a long time to cook. And while I admit they do need to simmer for a while, I find I can prepare the rest of my meal while they cook. However, I've also found some helpful tricks to make cooking whole grains even easier.
Another misconception is that grains are bland and boring. I say, "no way!" Just take a look at these recipes and see how you can incorporate flavorful whole grains into any meal:
There you have it. Whole grains are less complicated than you thought, right? Which whole grains will you cook up?

Any ideas?

Cancer Health Center
The Steady Rise in Thyroid Cancer
By Steven Reinberg
HealthDay Reporter
THURSDAY, Oct. 10 (HealthDay News) -- Better detection alone doesn't explain the dramatic increase in thyroid cancer cases seen in the United States over the past three decades, a new study says.
Researchers who looked at records for more than 200 patients were unable to show that advances in screening are behind the jump in thyroid cancer cases as some specialists believe.
"The incidence of thyroid cancer is on the rise and has nearly tripled in the last 30 years," said lead researcher Dr. David Goldenberg, director of head and neck surgery at Penn State Hershey Cancer Institute.
"Some researchers have attributed this increase in incidence to improved sensitivity of diagnostic techniques," he said, referring to the discovery of small insignificant thyroid cancers via state-of-the-art imaging. "Others do not agree and say that there is a real rise in this disease."
Many thyroid cancers are discovered incidentally when a patient undergoes a diagnostic study for some other reason, such as trauma, neck pain or to detect clogged arteries in the neck, Goldenberg explained.
To try to determine whether the increase in thyroid cancer was due to better diagnosis or more actual cancer, Goldenberg's team compared incidentally discovered versus non-incidentally discovered thyroid cancers to see if the groups had different characteristics.
"We found that patients with incidentally discovered thyroid cancers were older, had more advanced disease and were more likely to be men," he said. "These findings imply that improved detection may not be the only cause for the increased incidence of thyroid cancer."
One expert who was not involved with the study said that the findings -- published online Oct. 10 in JAMA Otolaryngology Head & Neck Surgery -- add to the evidence that thyroid cancer really is on the rise.
"This study suggests that there is an actual true increase in the incidence of thyroid cancer," said Dr. Douglas Frank, director of the center for head and neck surgical oncology at Long Island Jewish Medical Center in New Hyde Park, N.Y. Although this rise is not supported directly by this study, he said, it is felt to be true generally and is supported by other current reports.

It could be all pyramid, but by what has been excavated it seems that Cholula is a pyramid engulfing a large hill. Something I'll need to check.

Not as good as the potato quesadilla, but pretty tasty actually.

I consider myself to be pretty open to trying new foods, but crickets are definitely not something I am ready for.

For many young people in Europe one of the best ways to see New Zealand and get paid for doing it is by taking one of the many Dairy Farm Jobs that are available in New Zealand.
There are certain periods of the year in New Zealand where there is very high demand for Dairy Farm workers, they generally work on a 1st June until 31st May calendar period, and the focus is on a season's activity.
The sharemilking system is very unique to New Zealand. Around 40% of NZ dairy farms operate with the sharemilking structure which we discuss below.
Variable Order Sharemilkers
This is where the sharemilker contributes a percentage of the costs and in return is paid a percentage of the income.
50% Sharemilkers
This is where the sharemilker owns most or all of the cows and the the ensueing profits are split with the dairy farm's owner. This meanse that the sharemilker can start from a modest investment and build up assets over time.
One thing is certain whatever the structure there are plenty of dairy farm jobs for willing and experienced workers. You can take a look at a site like Marvin Farms if you are interested in finding out more. You can read through some of the testimonials on the site to see how others have enjoyed the experience.

* THE CENTRAL PARK FIVE. 9 p.m. Tuesday, WHYY 12.
SARAH BURNS didn't set out to become the Sofia Coppola of documentary filmmakers.
Or to become a filmmaker at all.
"I think I'd actually, in some ways, stayed away from it, because it was there," said Burns, whose first documentary, "The Central Park Five" - written, directed and produced with her father, Ken Burns ("The Civil War," "Baseball"), and her husband, David McMahon - makes its TV premiere Tuesday on PBS.
"My mom [Ken Burns' first wife, Amy Stechler] made a documentary film also," she said. "My parents worked together when I was very young and before I was born . . . and my uncle [Ric Burns], of course, is a documentary filmmaker, as well. So, there is something of a sort of family thing there."

Customer Reviews
Great app!
I really love playing with this app. Only thing that would make it better would be to be able to control the intensity of some of the effects.
literal waste of money
I bought the app and it keeps saying it couldn't install. I know its not my laptop because i downloaded 8 things before it and 4 things after. I have been re-trying to install it for days. It still won't work. A complete waste of my money.
Difficult program
I found this program very diffiuclt to work with-did not offer the features I expected with a paid program. I am now purchasing another photo ap to complete a project. A waste of time and money.

I thought Mike promised to leave Milwaukee if they built the Bronz Fonz?Hide replies
Whimsical bronze figure of a popular fictional Milwaukee resident = tacky and offensive. Graphics on beer bottles = high art. Thanks for that lesson, Mike Brenner.
Mike's a little headstrong.
This is very good news for Milwaukee.
In another related press release, Visit Milwaukee announced that it had secured funding to build a Laverne and Shirley bronze statue outside the new Brenner Brewery.
Congrats, Mike!!Hide replies
Sounds like he stole the idea from Jones Soda, except with a WI twist. All the same, it's still cool. I just hope the beer is good !
Love it. Great news!
Art-centric brewing business? If he can pull that off, wow. Are there enough beer drinkers who are art afficianados?Hide replies

I've been meaning to share this little project for ages. About six months back, I decided it was finally time to get something up on the blank wall above Charlotte's desk.

DIY Custom Underbed Storage Boxes

There's something about the large-scale use of bold patterns which scares me a bit.

Hi, how can I change default thumbnail picture size (Imdb cover picture )??
Hi, how can I change default thumbnail picture size (Imdb cover picture )??
Cover picture can currently be changed only for the plain display (in the post or widget display).
-> General Options -> Paths & Layout -> Imdb cover picture
Make sure "Display only thumbnail" option is turned to "no", and select the "Size" you want.
There is not right now any option to control cover picture inside the popup; nobody has ever asked for (yet).
thanks but , Is this plugin make thumbnails itself or direct get from source ?
If you use cache, pictures will get cached and resized.
I use cache, Can I change resized images width ? Which file include these parameters ?
answer right above... check your admin options.
I say resized meaning "cropped". I do your instructions and image only resize but images orginal size not change and page loading time increasing.
sorry for my bad eng..
Are you worried about client loading time or by server's?
If it is by the server time, cache should handle that (since it is exactly the cache purpose :).
If it is by the client's, you're better download every "*_big.jpg" file from your imdblt cache, resize it (or crop it), and upload the images resized to you cache.
There is no other way, at least when using imdblt plugin.
ok thanks :))

SA Chief Rabbi: Proposed Ban on Dual Citizenship 'Insulting'Thursday, September 10th, 2015
In response to the African National Congress's (ANC) proposed ban on dual citizenship, South Africa's Chief Rabbi Warren Goldstein released a strongly worded and heartfelt video statement calling the move a threat to Israel and peace in the region.
Goldstein said the proposal was "insulting" to the 175-year-old community, which has strong ties to Israel and has contributed greatly to South African society and culture. In his video, the Chief Rabbi also rejected claims that Israel is an "apartheid" state, an accusation often aimed at the Jewish State by BDS protesters and pro-Palestinian Arab foreign provocateurs.
"The apartheid accusation against Israel is a lie and without any foundation in reality," said Goldstein.
In addition to the defamatory nature of this claim, the misuse of "apartheid" diminishes the true meaning of the word and dishonors the ordeal of those who lived under its rule, he noted. "If everything is apartheid then nothing is apartheid," he stated. The Jewish population of South Africa currently stands at 75,000, according to the Chief Rabbi's office.
While the citizenship ban would potentially affect millions of people living in South Africa, it is motivated by the ANC's "obsession" with Israel, said Rabbi Goldstein.
"By targeting the local Jewish community, the ANC is ignoring the country's ethic of tolerance and dishonoring the legacy of former president Nelson Mandela." An official appointee, Chief Rabbi Warren Goldstein holds a prominent and respected position within South Africa. He serves as a senior member of the National Religious Leaders Council and has collaborated on projects with the government. He had the honor being one of those clergy chosen to eulogize the late Mandela at his funeral. His Bill of Responsibilities has been adopted as part of the official South African school curriculum. "The time to act is now," said Rabbi Goldstein, who called upon ANC to change its course and become a force for peace in the Middle East and the entire world.
"That is the way forward: a dream of peace," he declared at the conclusion of the video.Hana Levi Julian

I installed Ubuntu using Wubi on a Win-XP Dell laptop. Worked great, until I changed the display resolution to match the native resolution of an external monitor. After doing so, the gnome panels (the top and bottom bars) have disappeared. The gnome-panel process is still running, but I can't see the panels. When I kill the process it restarts immediately but nothing changes. Alt+F1 and Alt+F2 don't do anything in this state, so it's kind of useless. Any suggestions?
External/secondary monitors don't show the GNOME panels... It might be possible that your monitor is set as secondary.
You are right! Originally I thought this is a bug and searched for solutions. Most say:
However none of them worked.
I launched gnome-display-properties, found there are two monitors and turned off Laptop Monitor. The taskbars show up now!

Beckett Rankine was founded in 1888 as Robert White and Partners by the great-grandfather of one of the current directors. The firm has has been controlled by members of the White/Rankine and Beckett families ever since. The firm has offices in London and Mumbai; for information on our Company Registration please click here.
At Beckett Rankine we pride ourselves on bringing flair to the design process in order to deliver appropriate and affordable project solutions. The Beckett Rankine team has decades of experience in delivery of marine infrastructure projects both in the UK and across the globe. Our team includes specialists in port planning, marine civil and structural design, hydraulic modellers, geotechnical engineers, diving engineers, master mariners and cargo handling engineers.
So what differentiates us from our competitors? Firstly there is our size, with around 25 staff in the UK we are smaller than all our competitors but this is because, unlike them, we only do maritime work. Our staff are all dedicated maritime engineers, they do no other type of project and as a result they are among the best and most experienced maritime engineers in the UK. The other difference is our independence; our competitors are now almost all owned by large multinational corporations who also own contracting organisations. At Beckett Rankine we are unaffected by the conflict that such ownership brings enabling us to provide our clients with truly independent advice.

Here's an unusual treat: A porn "autobiography" of Rev. Bob Levy, a familiar name from satellite radio, which shows how he "invented" some of the most famous comedy routines of the last 20 years.
For instance, who knew waiter "Jerry" (James Deen) would steal Bob's Seinfeld-like script while the Rev was performing at Penny Flame's wedding — and later get to fuck the bride in half a dozen positions? Or that a very Jim Varney-like hillbilly type (Evan Stone) would not only steal Bob's jokes, but fuck his agent Savanna Samson in a threeway with girlfriend Kimberly Kane?

If I have 2 Git repository such as PersonA, PersonB git repository.
If I make the branch 'demo' in PersonB repository, Also PersonA have commit a lot of their works for over six month. However, I want to push this branch (PersonB/demo) to be a (PersonA/demo), what should I do?
It is complicate that I don't want to make a fast-forward when move to PersonA/demo. I would like everything in PersonA/demo are the same place as PersonB/demo do.
Ex. I make a demo for the product A when it was version 1.00 by clone to new repository seperate from the original, Now, the product A move to version 2.00, but I not have a time to maintain demo yet. So I would like to keep everything like the past but now, I would like to keep it together in the same repository.

All the way around, when we consider the absolute number of defining negative terms or the ratio of negative to positive word use for each gender, women lose out when it comes to positive, defining language. I mean, they really lose out. My search for definitions of chivalry or gallantry that apply specifically to women has so far come up with nothing. Consider the terms honor, steadfastness, and valor. Though not overtly gender-specific, they are male-tilted by broad context and long-established patterns of use. And these words, even though they can be applied to women, don't imply what gallantry and chivalry imply, which is a mixture of kindness, confidence, and power as specifically linked to one gender… Lastly, of course, I must comment on the feminine version of the word hero, which of course is heroine. This term describes a woman's role in a story but does not specifically refer to character or nobility. Heroine is probably the most frequently used positive word for a woman in common vocabulary, but almost nobody I know would use it to describe a real, ordinary person. By our language's glaring lack of gender-specific terms for female nobility of character, and the ongoing presence of specialized male terms such as gallantry, we can infer that a bias against celebrating the feminine exists in Western culture much as it does in places like New Guinea, even if it takes a less physically brutal form. This language anomaly in no way reflects the actual nature of women as I have experienced them. Many women I know have shown chivalry equal to a man's in harrowing circumstances, including, in Patty's case, a brush with war in the jungles of New Guinea and making life-or-death decisions as a nurse midwife at the bedsides off hundreds of women in labor. The emotional heroism of women, in my opinion, far surpasses that of men, on a daily basis. By emotional heroism I mean the complex choices women often make, setting aside their own needs or supressing strong feelings, in the service of a greater good.

You are carrying a masterpiece hidden within you, but you are standing in the way. Just move aside, then the masterpiece will be revealed. Everyone is a masterpiece, because God never gives birth to anything less than that. Everyone carries that masterpiece hidden for many lives, not knowing who they are and just trying on the surface to become someone.Drop the idea of becoming someone, because you are already a masterpiece. You cannot be improved. You have only to come to it, to know it, to realize it. God himself has created you; you cannot be improved.

Zen's greatest contribution is to give you an alternative to the serious man. The serious man has made the world, the serious man has made all the religions. He has created all the philosophies, all the cultures, all the moralities; everything that exists around you is a creation of the serious man. Zen has dropped out of the serious world. It has created a world of its own which is very playful, full of laughter, where even great masters behave like children.

One day, through my prayers, an overwhelming amount of love started flowing into me, filling up the dark hole that threatened to consume me. I suddenly realized that what I was feeling was the love of the Earth, the love of Creation. Every day we, as a species, do so much to destroy Creation's ability to give us life. But that Creation continues to do everything in its power to give us life anyway. And that's true love.

I used to visit and revisit it a dozen times a day, and stand in deep contemplation over my vegetable progeny with a love that nobody could share or conceive of who had never taken part in the process of creation. It was one of the most bewitching sights in the world to observe a hill of beans thrusting aside the soil, or a rose of early peas just peeping forth sufficiently to trace a line of delicate green.

"If you had no problems you'd need to make some, which is exactly how you got them. They are your implements of creation. Every great sculpture, painting, poem, story, musical composition, attempts to solve problems. They may be problems deeply buried, unknown consciously even to their container, coming forth as heavenly release into creation."

Glory be to God for dappled things— For skies of couple-colour as a brinded cow; For rose-moles all in stipple upon trout that swim; Fresh-firecoal chestnut-falls; finches' wings; Landscape plotted and pieced—fold, fallow, and plough; And áll trádes, their gear and tackle and trim. All things counter, original, spare, strange; Whatever is fickle, freckled (who knows how?) With swift, slow; sweet, sour; adazzle, dim; He fathers-forth whose beauty is past change: Praise him.

I believe in the theory of evolution, but I believe as well in the allegorical truth of creation theory. In other words, I believe that evolution, including the principle of natural selection, is one of the tools used by God to create mankind. Mankind is then a participant in the creation of the universe itself, so that we have a closed loop. I believe that there is a level on which science and religious metaphor are mutually compatible.

FORT BENNING, Ga., (Dec. 4, 2013) -- Members of the Fort Benning Marine Detachment, the Marine Corps' 2nd Combat Engineer Battalion and the Army's 11th Engineer Battalion got a closer look Nov. 26 at one of the military's largest explosive devices.
The Fort Benning detachment demonstrated a mine-clearing line charge during a live fire at the Digital Multi-Purpose Range Complex.
The charge consists of a rocket-propelled cable that has 1,750 pounds of C4 explosive attached to it. The cable is fired from an Assault Breacher Vehicle before detonating the C4.
The resulting explosion is used in minefields to either cause live mines to detonate or to push those mines out of the path of the ABV.
Lt. Col. Ruben Martinez, the detachment commander, said the ABV's use of the MICLIC represents a sizable step forward for both the Army and the Marine Corps' capabilities.
"Previously, these were employed using the back of a trailer or a modified amphibious vehicle that we have," he said. "Those work well, but they weren't specifically made for that purpose. So, there was inherent danger in that as well as more opportunities for failure. In the past, you'd have an M1A1 move up with a plow and the vehicle with the MICLIC would have to come up from behind and shoot over it because you needed the protection from the tank. Now, with this vehicle, it increases the capability dramatically. One vehicle just has to pull up and fire the line charge, while having the plow and the ability and armor protection to clear the lane."
Sgt. Onix Polanco, an ABV instructor and one of the first Marines to use the vehicle once it was introduced to the Marine fleet in 2007, said the explosion caused by the MICLIC can be intimidating even for ABV operators.
"Once the rocket goes off, you pretty much feel like the back of the vehicle goes with it," he said. "That's how much force it puts out. It's a lot of weight. It's over 3,600 pounds in the tub that the rocket pulls out. When it detonates, at first you just see the blast and then you feel the concussion. It just gives you the feeling of a roller coaster with a sudden drop."
The live fire was part of an ABV course that the detachment normally conducts twice a year. This course, however, was held at the request of the 2nd Combat Engineer Battalion, which is preparing for a spring 2014 deployment to Afghanistan.
"The 2nd Combat Engineer Battalion is getting ready to deploy and they had several Marines who had never been on the ABV, which they'll have available to them in Afghanistan," Martinez said. "So, they asked us if we wouldn't mind creating an impromptu course. It was very fortuitous that we had this range set up and we had the ammo so we could come out and conduct this live fire for these Marines. With the firing of the line charge, the complexity of the vehicle and the nature of the blast, it's a pretty complex and dangerous job that we want to make sure our Marines are trained very well to do. Especially if they're going to go into combat, we don't want that to be the first time they use this."
Polanco, who helped to instruct the class of 12 Marines, said the live fire was tough for the students despite their previous instruction, mainly because no amount of classroom training can prepare them for the size of the blast.
"It's pretty daunting because we focus heavily on the misfire procedures and we go in-depth with the explosive charge," he said. "It's pretty scary for them. They're shaking inside the vehicle because they don't know what's about to happen. Once they receive that shockwave, it comes home. They get the feeling of the power they're launching down the minefield. It lets them know that when things go bad, they have to be careful of who is around you because when it goes off, there's no mercy."
Soldiers from the 11th Engineer Battalion were also on hand to observe the MICLIC fire, and Martinez said it was a good opportunity for the Marines to provide valuable experiences to Soldiers.
"It's a great feeling because where we're usually tied on to their courses and dependent on them, now there's an opportunity for us to pay back and provide some help to our fellow Soldiers," he said.
