I checked in on the hives on June 22nd, a rather quick in-and-out of the top super to inspect a few frames. I'm a little concerned by what's going on in the Silvers, as per usual, but it might, might just be that their pollen's funny colors.
I confirmed the existence of small hive beetles in both, however, and went ahead and ordered beetle traps (as well as a second honey super for the Blues) from Mann Lake. There's also some wax moths, as can be expected– that's what I'm worried might be affecting the weaker Silvers.
But the Blues were looking great, and considering a nearby beekeeper's association is hosting a honey harvest soon, where I can borrow their extractor for a few frames, I might actually have something to show in a few weeks– if it's not just sugar water. Not too concerned about product this season, anyway; I'm learning.
The supplies arrived quickly, as usual, and on Tuesday I opened up the hives and took another quick gander around both, everything's swell, and added the beetle traps to the top supers.
What drove me to the blog today, rather than any time in the past week or so, was a heart-stopping sight. We're in the middle of a rather ferocious summer storm, and I got home from work during a break in the festivities, so to speak. It's been relatively calm for a half-hour, forty-five minutes or so when I walk out to look at my hives– and there's absolutely NO hive activity. Negative hive activity, in fact, if the still and silent bees frozen on the front of the Silver hive can count backwards. Maybe a small check in the activity box from the Blues, because there's one upside down on top of the hive, struggling not to drown.
I flip her off the top and into the grass and hope she gets her bearings, but I'm already a-panic. Did the beetle traps cause something? Did the special oil I use confuse them? Wax moths? Foulbrood? Sabotage?!
I take a few quick pictures (they'll be uploaded once my computer gets on board with this whole "secure connection" nonsense), and take a few deep breaths.
What am I really looking at, here?
Big storm means decreased activity. Only bee moving was flailing around in…standing water. On top of the hive, granted, but if I look more closely–
There are puddles in front of the entrances.
I dash inside, grab an already beat-up old towel and cut it up a bit more, a couple of strips about an inch wide and a few inches long, grab my hive tool and bee brush, and head back out to the hives.
I don't want to block the entrances entirely, so I use the edge of the towel and the hive tool to do some spot-mopping, and then adjust the edge so that there's still maneuvering room in and out of the entrance, but the puddling areas are covered. I let the fabric hand down over the front edge of the bottom board to wick away the water that does try to pool.
Take a few deep breaths.
Already, bees are starting to peek out around the top edge of the entrance reducer. The first few tentative probosces emerge. Moments later, bees are fanning the entrance, getting their Nasonov scent all over the new carpeting. Others are starting to tug at threads, pulling them closer into the hive.
I sit out there for another twenty minutes as the rain starts to fall again, watching these bees get it, knowing that I helped them solve a problem that had already cost them at least a handful of comrades (don't mourn the bee, mourn the colony, I tell myself– the few are often spent so the whole can be saved).
When the sun's out again, I'll figure out a better way of shielding the front entrances from a downpour, but I don't want to mess too much with the appearance of the hives while the bees are already going to be a bit under the weather (hurrhurr) and disoriented from the bright red entrances.
For the past hour now I've been coming in and going out, looking at what they're up to, adjusting things a bit if I was worried the entrance was too blocked. And it seems the Blues might be… intentionally blocking the entrance? Or maybe just mopping up, if that wicking effect is really working. I don't even know anymore, but I like watching them work, some tugging strings into place as others come in from the scouting, squeezing past into the hive.
It's a strange cocktail of feelings, this post-panic satisfaction, a sense of teamwork and individual problem-solving, an adrenaline crash of half-broken humor. I used to think carpeted porches were kind of tacky, but I suppose they serve their purpose.

POLONIUS.'Fore God, my lord, well spoken, with good accent and gooddiscretion.
I PLAYER. Anon he finds him, Striking too short at Greeks: his antique sword, Rebellious to his arm, lies where it falls, Repugnant to command: unequal match'd, Pyrrhus at Priam drives; in rage strikes wide; But with the whiff and wind of his fell sword The unnerved father falls. Then senseless Ilium, Seeming to feel this blow, with flaming top Stoops to his base; and with a hideous crash Takes prisoner Pyrrhus' ear: for lo! his sword, Which was declining on the milky head Of reverend Priam, seem'd i' the air to stick: So, as a painted tyrant, Pyrrhus stood; And, like a neutral to his will and matter, Did nothing. But as we often see, against some storm, A silence in the heavens, the rack stand still, The bold winds speechless, and the orb below As hush as death, anon the dreadful thunder Doth rend the region; so, after Pyrrhus' pause, A roused vengeance sets him new a-work; And never did the Cyclops' hammers fall On Mars's armour, forg'd for proof eterne, With less remorse than Pyrrhus' bleeding sword Now falls on Priam. — Out, out, thou strumpet, Fortune! All you gods, In general synod, take away her power; Break all the spokes and fellies from her wheel, And bowl the round nave down the hill of heaven, As low as to the fiends!
POLONIUS.This is too long.
HAMLET.It shall to the barber's, with your beard. — Pr'ythee say on. — He's for a jig or a tale of bawdry, or he sleeps: — say on; cometo Hecuba.
I PLAYER. But who, O who, had seen the mobled queen, —
HAMLET.'The mobled queen'?
POLONIUS.That's good! 'Mobled queen' is good.
I Play. Run barefoot up and down, threatening the flames With bisson rheum; a clout upon that head Where late the diadem stood, and for a robe, About her lank and all o'erteemed loins, A blanket, in the alarm of fear caught up; — Who this had seen, with tongue in venom steep'd, 'Gainst Fortune's state would treason have pronounc'd: But if the gods themselves did see her then, When she saw Pyrrhus make malicious sport In mincing with his sword her husband's limbs, The instant burst of clamour that she made, — Unless things mortal move them not at all, — Would have made milch the burning eyes of heaven, And passion in the gods.
POLONIUS.Look, whether he has not turn'd his colour, and has tears in'seyes. — Pray you, no more!
HAMLET.'Tis well. I'll have thee speak out the rest of this soon. — Good my lord, will you see the players well bestowed? Do youhear? Let them be well used; for they are the abstracts and briefchronicles of the time; after your death you were better have abad epitaph than their ill report while you live.
POLONIUS.My lord, I will use them according to their desert.
HAMLET.Odd's bodikin, man, better: use every man after hisdesert, and who should scape whipping? Use them after your ownhonour and dignity: the less they deserve, the more merit is inyour bounty. Take them in.
POLONIUS.Come, sirs.

For 2011 and 2012, a spouse will inherit their deceased spouse's unused estate and gift tax exemptions. The previous law stated that the exemption amount in 2011 was to be $1 million with a taxation rate of 55%. This law was changed at the end of 2010 making the federal estate tax exemption $5 million with a taxation rate of 35% over that amount for 2011 and 2012.
Because of changes to the tax law, you may now be able to pass estate tax-free a total of $10 million to your children and other heirs. Technically speaking, a surviving spouse, assuming an election is made by the executor of the deceased spouse's estate, will be able to increase his or her applicable exclusion amount by the amount of the unused exclusion amount of the deceased spouse (dying after 2010). This new ability to increase the surviving spouse's applicable exclusion amount by the unused exclusion amount of the deceased spouse has been described by estate planners as the "portability of unused exclusion between spouses."
For more on this, the American Institute of CPAs has a pretty good article by clicking at this link. For estate tax planning help from a California tax attorney, call Mitchell A. Port at (310) 559-5259.

text: [JURIST] US Air Force General Richard Myers [official profile], Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, has criticized an Amnesty International report [JURIST report] comparing American treatment of prisoners at Guantanamo Bay to the Soviet gulag [Wikipedia backgrounder] where millions died. Interviewed on Fox News Sunday [transcript], Gen. Myers called the report "absolutely irresponsible" and noted that 100 detainees abused out of 68,000 being held in the war on terror is "very small compared to the population of detainees we've handled." Amnesty has urged that senior US officials should be investigated by foreign governments and that Vice President Dick Cheney, Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, and former CIA Director William Tenet be arrested and questioned. Read Amnesty International Secretary General Irene Khan's foreword to the report. The Washington Times has more.

I happened to go to the good old Ren Fest last month (as i do each year) with a friend and thought id put together a little post of how things went.
To start of, when i told a guy i didn't want to buy any of his pickles, he flung pickle juice at me shouting 'no pickles for the pickle hater' and walked away. ………what.
Thats us alright.
I did a bit of a lace henna style design in my crease and under my bottom lash line with liquid eyeliner and was quite proud of it. I got a lot of comments on it along with 'holy cow your hair is so LONG!' comments. 🙂
I like how it shaped my eyes. Im just now realizing that my head piece is missing a couple medallions. /: hmmph
Oh looky im dead.
"I am Mary, Queen of Scots". Okay so ive been watching too much Reign. 😛
I got to be the doctors companion!!!!
These guys were seriously AMAZING. They were hilarious and just..awesome.
I really wish i would of gotten their numbers.

Headlines appear almost daily about food and drink price wars and the many other challenges faced by the UK's food and farming industry.
Supporting your local food and drink producers has never been more important and there's nowhere better to start than by voting for your favourites in this year's Sussex Food and Drink Awards, celebrating its tenth year.
The Sussex Farmer of the Year, in partnership with Farmers Weekly, is a really important category in these awards and local farmers should be recognised for the high quality food they produce and the positive impact they have in shaping the rural landscape in Sussex.
The awards team is urging people to nominate great farmers who they know are making a positive difference and producing wonderful food at www.sussexfoodawards.biz
As with the Sussex Farmer of the Year category, Sussex Young Chef of the Year, sponsored by Sodexo Prestige, Sussex Newcomer of the Year, sponsored by Spofforths and Sussex Street Food of the Year, sponsored by Food Rocks and Hepworth Brewery, are also open for nominations by the public and have already attracted an exciting list of contenders.
Awards judges have already shortlisted ten finalists for each of the other six categories, from farm to fork, including food and drink producers, farmers' markets, food shops, butchers, restaurants, cafes and pubs who serve great locally produced fare.
Paula Seager, co-director of Natural Partnerships CIC, who organises the awards said: "There are many fantastic ways to find out more about your local food and drink producers and a good place to start is by visiting the awards website to see who has made it through as a finalist.
"From there you could visit your local farm or food shop and try some of the many glorious products that they stock. Look out for local and seasonal produce on restaurant and pub menus and check labels when you go shopping and try and buy a few of those produced in Sussex."
Famers' markets have grown enormously in popularity over the last decade and they are one of the best advocates in supporting local and regional food and drink producers, which is what the Sussex Food and Drink Awards is all about.
The top ten best-known Sussex farmers' markets have made it onto this year's finalist list, sponsored by Harveys, so why not visit your nearest and get those taste buds tingling and vote for your favourite.
You could also try out the many wonderful food and drink festivals this Summer, including the Wealden Food and Wine Festival on August 22-23 at the Bentley Wildfowl & Motor Museum; Brighton and Hove Food and Drink August Festival on August 29-31; the Big Nibble in Horsham on September 5-6; the Southdowns Folk Festival on September 26-27 in Bognor Regis and the Steyning & District Food & Drink Festival from September 6 to October 5.
Public voting opened at the beginning of July and thousands of votes have already been received.
Ten thousand people are expected to vote for their favourite food and drink heroes to win at www.sussexfoodawards.biz before voting closes on 21 September – it only takes a minute or two and every vote really does count.
The lucky winners and runners up in all ten categories will go on to receive their trophies at a glittering tenth birthday ceremony on January 28, 2016, hosted by patron to the awards, Sally Gunnell OBE and Danny Pike from BBC Sussex.
The ceremony includes a spectacular seven-course Sussex produce banquet produced by Sodexo Prestige at the Amex Stadium.
For details on all the finalists who have made it through this year, more information about all the categories and how to vote for or nominate your favourite, visit www.sussexfoodawards.biz

I believe that I live in one of the most beautiful places on the face of the earth. I think that God took great care when He created the Heavens and the earth and we need to take the time to appreciate the intricacies and beauty of His creation. When I was having my devotion Ithis morning the Lord touched my heart with His love. I feel so lucky to be His child and I am eagerly awaiting His return!!!
Today I was thinking about the New Commandment that Jesus gave to us:
36 "Teacher, which is the great commandment in the law?" 37 Jesus said to him, 'You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.' 38 This is the first and great commandment. 39 And the second is like it: 'You shall love your neighbor as yourself. 40 The entire law and all the demands of the prophets are based on these two commandments." Matthew 22:36-40
We live in a fallen and sinful world. It seems so impossible that as a sinner, we can ever make this commandment a reality in our own lives. I believe that Jesus gave us this New Commandment to show us our need for His saving grace. Thankfully, as Christians we have the empowering presence of the Holy Spirit inside each one of us to teach us that we can do nothing without Him. As we trust in Him, He will lead us. It is His power that we need to do this impossible task. When we first became a Christian we have that feeling of love and euphoria. However, it is when the trials of life come that we realize the extent of His love. We see His faithfulness in our daily life meeting our needs and blessing us through the hard times. As we move from day to day as a Christian our love for our Savior becomes a deeper more abiding love because of those trials.
So how do we grow closer to the Lord in our walk? We are so lucky that we live in the time that we do. Unlike our brothers and sisters who lived thousands of years ago, we have a completed Bible to use as a handbook for daily living. The Bible tells us that Jesus is the Word made flesh, so it makes sense that if we want to be close to Him and begin to live and abundant life in Him we need to read and meditate on this Word. As we get into the discipline of reading the Bible daily,we will begin to see ourselves grow into strong mature Christians who give all the glory to God every day as we live our lives.
Nothing touches my heart more, than to take a walk on our beautiful beaches here in Hawaii. I can see the Majesty of the Lord in every grain of sand, every shell, the fragrance of the air and in the mighty power of the waves as they crash into the sand. Sometimes when I am walking I can hear the Lord telling me to marvel at the power and beauty of His creation. I can hear the Lord tell me to hold on to His hand and to let Him guide me through each day. The light of His Presence shines upon us daily. We just have to learn not to dim that light with worries and fear. Holiness is letting the Holy Spirit live and work through us. Pause before responding to people or situations, allow the Holy Spirit the space He needs to work through us. He wants to inhabit all of our moments, gracing our thoughts, words, and behavior. Then we can truly begin to walk in His love and light! What a Mighty God who loves us!!!

Stem cell transplantation is now used worldwide in the treatment of any malignant and non-malignant hematologic conditions like auto immune diseases, and in the treatment of various conditions. Every year, many hundreds of patients around the world receive an autologous (from the same patient) or allogeneic (from a donor) transplant procedure, and the numbers have increased vastly.
Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation and cellular therapy (Regenerative Medicine) are rapidly developing, highly effective modalities of treatment for a broad range of hematologic, immunologic, metabolic and malignant diseases.
For many disorders, hematopoietic transplantation is potentially curative for what would otherwise be fatal diseases.
Hematopoietic transplantation is the most established form of cellular therapy and is a cornerstone of treatment for a broad range of hematologic malignancies.
This form of therapy consist in the bone marrow derived stem cells use, and it is possible obtain these cells directly from bone marrow or from peripherical blood.
Stem cell transplantation is still a relatively new treatment modality, having been used clinically only since the 1970s. As time has passed, many changes and refinements have been introduced to improve the therapies. The patient population to which these techniques are applicable has also changed and enlarged as treatment has become safer, with the introduction of improved blood product support, antibiotics and better immunosuppressants. It can be anticipated that stem cell transplantation procedures will continue to become safer, thereby allowing us to safely extend curative treatments to elderly patients, and many other people with different pathologies like chronic pulmonary diseases or heart diseases.
Cellular components of the transplant:
Our current knowledge of stem cell transplantation (SCT) biology derives from a vast body of experimental data extending back more than 50 years.
Transplants contain a variety of cell types but the hematopoietic stem cells (HSC), conveniently identified by the CD34 surface antigen, and CD3+ T-lymphocytes, responsible for immunologic memory, are the most important because they can self-replicate and survive a lifetime in the person. Cells within the CD34 compartment establish lifelong hematopoiesis and regenerate an entire immune system.
In recent years, there has been much interest in the fact that SCT contain precursors of cells able to develop into non-hematopoietic cells such as pulmonary cells, angiocytes, endothelial cells, fibroblasts, neurons, heart cells and muscle cells. These facts allow the treatment of many diseases in those body areas.
Four transplant stem cell sources are in current use: bone marrow (BM), mobilized peripheral blood stem cells (PBSC), grease cells and umbilical cord blood (UCB). These sources differ considerably both quantitatively and qualitatively, and our Apheresis and Regenerative Medicine Unit only use BM, PBSC and grease from the own patient body.
Stem Cells for Lung Disease.
The lung is a complex organ with limited regenerative capacity. Local stem cells, with the capacity for unlimited self renewal and the production of more committed progenitors, have long been thought of as central to the repair and regeneration processes of various organs. However, this endogenous repair in the lung is insufficient to prevent the many progressive respiratory diseases.
Many series of exciting reports over the last 5 to 10 years have demonstrated that adult bone marrow-derived stem cells may have more plasticity and are able to differentiate into bronchial and alveolar epithelium, vascular endothelium, and interstitial cell types, making them prime candidates for lung repair.
Stem cells have a multitude of clinical implications in the lung. The realization that adult bone marrow stem cells contribute to the repair of lung injury allows this avenue to be manipulated and augmented in human diseases. Treatment by cell therapy could be envisaged for acute disorders such as Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome, or more chronic disorders such as emphysema, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and lung fibrosis (CHEST 2007; 132:279–285).
What Is COPD?
COPD, or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, is a progressive disease that makes it hard to breathe. "Progressive" means the disease gets worse over time.
COPD can cause coughing that produces large amounts of mucus (a slimy substance), wheezing, shortness of breath, chest tightness, and other symptoms. Cigarette smoking is the leading cause of COPD. Most people who have COPD smoke or used to smoke. Long-term exposure to other lung irritants—such as air pollution, chemical fumes, or dust—also may contribute to COPD.
Emphysema and chronic bronchitis are the two most common conditions that make up COPD. Chronic bronchitis is an inflammation of the lining of your bronchial tubes, which carry air to and from your lungs. Emphysema occurs when the air sacs (alveoli) at the end of the smallest air passages (bronchioles) in the lungs are gradually destroyed.
Symptoms of COPD often don't appear until significant lung damage has occurred, and they usually worsen over time. For chronic bronchitis, the main symptom is a cough that you have at least three months a year for two consecutive years. Other signs and symptoms of COPD include:
- Shortness of breath, especially during physical activities
- Wheezing
- Chest tightness
- Having to clear your throat first thing in the morning, due to excess mucus in your lungs
- A chronic cough that produces sputum that may be clear, white, yellow or greenish
- Blueness of the lips or fingernail beds (cyanosis)
- Frequent respiratory infections
- Lack of energy
- Unintended weight loss (in later stages)
People with COPD are also likely to experience episodes called exacerbations, during which their symptoms become worse and persist for days or longer.
COPD is a major cause of disability, and it's the third leading cause of death in the United States. Currently, millions of people are diagnosed with COPD. Many more people may have the disease and not even know it.
COPD develops slowly. Symptoms often worsen over time and can limit your ability to do routine activities. Severe COPD may prevent you from doing even basic activities like walking, cooking, or taking care of yourself.
Except the stem cells therapy, the COPD has no cure, and doctors don't know how to reverse the damage to the airways and lungs.
Pulmonary fibrosis
Pulmonary fibrosis (PF) describes a condition in which the lung tissue becomes thickened, stiff, and scarred.
The medical terminology used to describe this scar tissue is fibrosis. The alveoli (air sacs) and the blood vessels within the lungs are responsible for delivering oxygen to the body, including the brain, heart, and other organs. All of the body's functions depend upon delivery of a steady supply of oxygen.
As lung tissue becomes scarred and thicker, it is more difficult for the lungs to transfer oxygen into the bloodstream. As a result, the brain, heart, and other organs do not get the oxygen they need to function properly.
In some cases, doctors can determine the cause of the fibrosis (scarring), but in many cases the cause remains unknown. When there is no known cause for the development of pulmonary fibrosis (and certain radiographic and/or pathologic criteria are met), the disease is called idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis or IPF.
Signs and symptoms of pulmonary fibrosis include:
- Shortness of breath (dyspnea)
- A dry cough
- Fatigue
- Unexplained weight loss
- Aching muscles and joints
The course of pulmonary fibrosis, and the severity of symptoms, can vary considerably from person to person. Some people become ill very quickly with severe disease. Others have more-moderate symptoms that worsen over months or years.
Like COPD and except the stem cells therapy, the fibrosis has no cure at this moment.
Stem Cell Treatment for COPD and Fibrosis.
The goal of the stem cell COPD treatment is to generate new lung tissues and blood vessels through angiogenesis. In the stem cell treatment for COPD protocol, the destroyed lung tissues and cells causing the various types of complications are targeted for regeneration. Using autologous stem cells from the patient's own blood, bone marrow or fat the doctors are able to promote rapid healing of previously damaged cells.
The therapy is safe, with small discomfort for the patient, takes only 10 days and the 85% of the people improve their disease.
If you need a medical opinion about this treatment, please send a short resume of your history disease to firstname.lastname@example.com and include a transcription of the results of your thorax TAC and spirometry.

Having learned my lesson earlier in the month, last week on a rainy Tuesday, I made the trip to the Laugh Factory in Hollywood to sign up for the open mic. I got there at 2:30 and was number two in line when they opened signups at 5. The signup is for the following week, so at 5:15 I was free to go. Since I made my goal, I decided I didn't need to go to the other Tuesday open mic in Hollywood, and I joined the rush hour traffic heading south.
Yesterday I went up to Hollywood again, this time with a solid G-rated three minutes. I'm convinced it is impossible to go from Long Beach to Hollywood and arrive at 6:30PM. If you leave at 4:30, you get there in an hour (i.e. at 5:30); if you leave at 5:00, you get there in an hour and forty five minutes (i.e. 6:45). I did the former; I always prefer to be early rather than late.
Because I was the second signup, I was second up on stage. Since this was more audition than true open mic, I did only tried and true material, with a few new phrases to link the three pieces. I thought my set went reasonably well, but I did not get a call back to do more time next week.
I have to say I was a little disappointed. Until this morning, when I got an invite to do a show at Flappers in Burbank next month. And I didn't have to stand in the rain to get it.

I recently had an aspiring Real Estate / Interiors Photographer ask what gear he/she should use. This was my reply:
Heres the list of recommended gear for aspiring Real Estate Photographers. This list has some pieces that even I would like to buy soon.
For the sake of staying economical, we'll use mostly Amazon as a buying place but other recommended sites are Adorama and B&H as they offer great customer service and return policies.
Camera Body:
Sony A6000 – https://www.amazon.com/Sony-Mirrorless-Digital-Camera-16-50mm/dp/B00I8BICB2/ref=sr_1_3?s=photo&ie=UTF8&qid=1506521955&sr=1-3&keywords=sony+a6000
The Sony A6000 is mirrorless, compact, lightweight, and has some great wireless features. Don't let its small size fool you – it's a fantastic camera and we're moving into an era that recognizes bigger isn't always better. The Amazon deal does come with a 16-55 lens which will be perfect for day-to-day use of capturing portraits or other artsy shots.
Rokinon 12mm – https://www.amazon.com/Rokinon-Ultra-Angle-E-Mount-RK12M-E/dp/B00JD4TAWI/ref=as_li_ss_tl?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1485380731&sr=1-1&keywords=Rokinon+12mm+F2.0&linkCode=sl1&tag=phoforreaest-20&linkId=6802d8c4f5a294fcde0d66973e319116
As some photographers put it, this is a UFWA (Ultra… Wide Angle) and creates a lot of barrel distortion. This is usually rectified by Lightroom's auto-calibrating features but can be corrected even further through Photoshop's transform adjustment. It's a super fast lens at F2.0 which means you'll be able to push the boundaries of low-light photography and have some fun with depth-of-field shots.
Lighting: It really depends on which route you want to take for editing. HDR/Enfuse will require one basic flash. Full Lighting will require at least 3 basic flashes. Flambient will require 1-2 basic-advanced flashes. HDR/Enfuse is very easy but common. Full Lighting takes a long time to perfect. Flambient is right in the middle.
Yungnuo YN560 IV x3: https://www.amazon.com/Yongnuo-YN560-Speedlite-YN560TX-Canon-Diffuser/dp/B0146M307C/ref=sr_1_12?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1506522796&sr=1-12&keywords=YONGNUO+sony
Godox AD200: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06X1FBC3F/ref=sxr_pa_click_within_right_2?pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_p=3163805422&pf_rd_r=E2W15HJQPV3QR56B4PX4&pd_rd_wg=AIOTb&pf_rd_s=desktop-rhs-carousels&pf_rd_t=301&pd_rd_w=rbFEe&pf_rd_i=YONGNUO+sony&pd_rd_r=D1QYGGV33HDEQMMQ40P1&psc=1
It's recommended that you get light stands for the Yungnuos – something like these will do just fine but you may also want brackets to go with them. A pistol grip is popular with the Godox AD200 but a light stand is just as good.
Tripod: This can be a photographer's best friend and says a lot about what you like to shoot. This is because they're so dang bulky, heavy, and just not fun to tote around that if you're carrying one – people know you've got something serious to shoot.
Newwer Carbon Fiber: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00NSEKEMO
Vanguard Aluminum: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00CCA1Y3S
Some RE photographers (including myself) rely on something called a Cam Ranger to shoot without having to set a timer (don't want to touch the camera!). Fortunately, the Sony A6000 comes with Wireless Capabilities and can be triggered with a smartphone app. You'll also be able to review the photo on your smartphone app and make exposure adjustments from a distance.
Other than Lightroom and Photoshop, Enfuse is a great tool to have. If I think of anything else I'll be sure to jot it down. Let me know if you have any questions or need help with anything!

Sleeps 1 -2 persons Double bed
Great for a couple who enjoy seclusion and nature. Located at peaceful swimming pool glade. Has kite storage near kite school for those who have equipment. Next to Park, good for groups.
Kenyaways Diani Beach, Galu side was created in July 2008 by Linzi Kennaway who grew up on this Kenya South coast paradise. A keen watersports fanatic since birth, and after a 4 year career as a kite instructor in Diani Kenya, she decided that Diani beach, Galu needed somewhere for fellow passionate kite surfers travelling to Kenya to stay and enjoy the Kenya tropical beach life. She converted the old family beach house into a B&B guesthouse with a bar and restaurant and kite school known as the kite village.
Linzi's father, Kenyan bred Tony Kennaway bought the property in 1959 when Lions roamed the beaches and the forest was home to herds of Elephants and other wild animals. Tony started and operated Diani's first diving business here at Kenyaways Kite village as well as his famous parasailing business behind a land rover on the beach.
Galu Beach is located on the South side of Diani which is on the South coast of Mombasa on Kenya's equatorial coast. Unlike the rest of the coast Diani has a very tropical vibe with pristine clear lagoons, which surpass even the famous beaches of Zanzibar.
The Kenyaways Beach Hotel Diani is a family run affair. The kiteboarding lessons and facility is taken care of by h2O Extreme, Kenya's leading kite school, responsible for teaching Linzi her first kite surfing lessons all those years ago. Along with the family we have a wonderful team of fantastic staff who will very much make your stay feel like you are in your very own home away from home.

Frank Schubert is the evil genius behind the religious right's ongoing campaigns to repeal and/or ban marriage equality in state after state. Schubert, like the religious right in general, is very good at lying for the Lord. Like most Republicans, Schubert seems to find that facts have a liberal bias, so he invents his own.
Bill Nemitz, of the Portland Press Herald, once again nails it with a column on Frank Schubert's lies about marriage in Maine (and Maryland, Washington, Minnesota, California, and a number of other states in previous election cycles.
Frank Schubert likes to tell stories.
Really, really short stories.
Stories so short they can scare the bejesus out of you before you even know what they're actually about.
Schubert, you'll recall, is the California schemer who choreographed the repeal of Maine's same-sex marriage statute in 2009. Now he's back, leading the National Organization for Marriage's offensive against same-sex marriage in referendum campaigns in Maine, Maryland, Minnesota and Washington.
Schubert's strategy of choice? Take a complicated story and, in 30 seconds or less, reduce it to televised graffiti…
Nemitz goes on to describe after ad that's, well, a lie. The first ad he talks about claims that a couple in Vermont got sued for turning away a gay wedding reception. Uh yeah. But not because of gay marriage. They got sued because Vermont has had a public accommodations law covering sexual orientation for going on twenty years now. But Schubert lied, and tried to trick Mainers into thinking that the passage of marriage equality caused the suit, when in fact it wasn't. You get the picture.
It's worth reading the full column to see the fact check on all of the scare tactics we see Schubert and the National Organization for Marriage running in each campaign they run or fund.

Arden Bucklin-Sporer and Rachel Kathleen Pringle of The San Francisco Green Schoolyard Alliance have teamed up to create the definitive guide to school gardens, How to Grow a School Garden: A Complete Guide for Parents and Teachers. It hits stores on June 23, and I'm here to sing its praises.
Are you a mom who would like to see a garden curriculum at your child's school? Do you want to help start a school garden but don't know where to begin?
How to Grow a School Garden takes on the over-sized task of starting a school garden from scratch by breaking down the process into simple, doable steps. From garden plans and design to breaking ground and garden workdays to planning lessons and activities in the garden, this well-organized book is filled with helpful advice that will empower parents and teachers everywhere to establish gardens at their own schools.
- History of school gardens and their benefits: The authors begin with a brief look at the history of school gardens and then quickly move into the reasons why a school garden is good for the students, the entire school, and the surrounding community. The authors cite studies that show the many ways that school gardens benefit students. Some benefits include increased academic performance, improved nutrition, a sense of place and community, and enhanced social development. In addition, gardens provide access to fresh air and exercise and serve as an extended classroom, particularly important for students who learn best by using their hands.
- Laying the groundwork: Next, the authors spend an ample amount of time "laying the groundwork" for the school garden with sections on developing goals, finding resources and inspirations, and even pitching the garden plan to the principal. A chapter on garden site selection follows with advice on garden design and ideas for budgeting and fundraising.
- Creating an outdoor classroom: The last half of the book tackles the nuts and bolts of turning the garden into an outdoor classroom for the students. Bucklin-Sporer and Pringle include specific examples on how to link the garden to the school's existing science curriculum.
- What NOT to use: In addition, there is just good, solid advice to be found in these pages from a list of materials not to use when creating raised beds (railroad ties are a no-go due to the creosote content) to practical suggestions for dealing with slugs (collecting them in buckets to give to parents who have chickens).
- Everything you need to start a schoool garden: Scattered throughout the book you'll find examples of an annual fund letter, a garden coordinator job description, a typical garden schedule, a year-end evaluation form, and so much more. The authors have included everything you might need so that you don't have to reinvent the wheel. How nice!
The beautiful, color photographs on every page bring the authors' words to life and show you students at work and play in the school garden. Harvest parties are a popular activity and simple recipes are even included.
As a former early childhood educator and one who gardened with her students, let me say that I wish this book would have existed when I was in the classroom. How to Grow a School Garden takes away the guesswork and provides tip after tip from two women who have many years of school garden experience under their belts.
One quick note. If you have never gardened, don't expect to find basic horticultural lessons in this book. The authors are open about this from the beginning, and while they don't go into botany basics for new gardeners, they do make suggestions on where you might continue your education -- Extension Master Gardener courses, for one.
Summer break is the perfect time to begin planning a school garden for the new school year, and this book is a must-read for anyone (parent or teacher) interested in bringing gardens to their own school community.
Does your child's school have a garden or edible schoolyard?

We know best how to match travelers up with the very best accommodations that suit their budget. BUT that is only one part of the equation. It's the little details (things that many travelers don't even know are possible) that we are great at including in our travelers' trips. We don't usually give out our little secrets, but to give you a sneak peak of what we may offer – a private dinner on a barge in the middle of the Zambezi River is one of our all-time favorites. But no more said on this now as we rather not spoil what we love to do for you!
Our First Phone Call
We always start with a phone call and a blank slate. The goal of our first conversation is to get to know you. We will ask you questions about your travel style, where you have travelled in the past, your specific interests and your intended budget for your journey. After we have worked through this process we will both have a better idea if we are a good fit.
Getting Down to Business
At this stage we find out if you have a specific trip you are interested in and set travel dates. We offer our advice on the best locations depending on when you are planning to go, the best months to travel, and continue to narrow down your options to specific areas and dates.
Creating Your Perfect Journey
At this stage we will start narrowing down the hundreds of safari lodges or hotels you can choose from. We will discuss the exact number of nights you need to spend in each location and why, and the activities in each area. We chat about flights, the best way to get you in and out of each location (our goal is to get you quickly from one area to the next,) which may mean spending a little more on the most direct flight – ultimately giving you more game viewing time! With this all narrowed down you will then hear from us typically within one to two days with a full detailed itinerary that outlines what we discussed and your proposed tour cost. This is not set in stone, just meant to give you the first sample of what may be possible.
Adding in the Little Details
Once we know where you are going, we then work with you on tours, dining, and other activities. We give you our personal ideas and suggestions because we know it is these details which ultimately make your trip complete. With all this in place we will then confirm your accommodations and at this time require a trip deposit which is 25% of the total trip price. Final payment is due 90 days prior to your departure and you will receive an invoice prior to that time.
Fleshing Things Out
Should you wish to continue to fine tune your journey, for example making dinner reservations, booking additional tours or activities, that's what we are here for and we will continue to tweak until you are 100% satisfied with your journey.
Your Trip Preparation
Approximately two to three weeks after receiving your deposit and confirming your trip, we will send you a Preparation Package that will include your itinerary, packing list, etc. Approximately four weeks prior to your departure we will send you your final itinerary, contact details (phone numbers of our contacts who will be taking care of you along the way, emergency contacts and our after-hours numbers), E-tickets and copies of this information for your friends & family.
Bon Voyage
While on your journey we will check in with our contacts along the way to ensure everything is just perfect and your trip is running smoothly. Should you need us for anything during your journey we encourage you to give us a call.
When You Return
On your return we will want to hear all about your trip! Your honest feedback is what helps us continue to improve our service. Many of our travelers return again and again…we hope you get the travel bug too and look forward to next time around!

Directive 2001/29/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 22 May 2001 on the harmonisation of certain aspects of copyright and related rights in the information society, provides in article 3 that any communication to the public of a work (including simply "making available") must be authorized by the copyright holder.
Recently, the Advocate General ("AG") of the Court of Justice of the EU, Melchior Wathelet, has issued a surprising opinion in the Sanoma case (C-160/15) in which the Court must decide on a request for a preliminary ruling from the Supreme Court of the Netherlands on the concept of "communication to the public": namely, whether or not posting a hyperlink on the Internet amounts to an act of "communication to the public" when it facilitates access to a work which has been published in another website without the authorization of the author.
In the AG's opinion, the making available to the public of a hyperlink forwarding to a website which has published without restrictions of access a work without the authorization of the rightholder does not amount to an act of communication to the public. And therefore, such a hyperlink would not infringe the copyright over the published work.
The Advocate General opines that hyperlinks which lead to protected works only serve to facilitate their discovery on a given website, but are not 'making them available' to the public when they are already freely accessible on such other websites. According to the Advocate General the actual act of 'making available' is the action of the person who performed the initial communication.
It is adduced that the intervention of the person including a hyperlink in his website is not indispensable to make the work in question available to internet users. Such users could access the work in absence of the hyperlink, simply by directly accessing the website where the work is uploaded.
Regrettably, the Advocate General makes several errors in his argumentation; which leads him to an incorrect conclusion.
The base error is incorrectly interpreting the Svensson judgment on the concept of "new public". In that judgment the ECJ stated that only the communication made to a "new public" (an audience that was not taken into account by the copyright holders when they authorized the initial communication to the public) may be considered a "communication to the public". For this reason, when in Svensson the ECJ refers to links that lead to works that are "freely" available on another website, it is not referring to works that can be de-facto found without access restrictions, but to works that are de-facto but also legally (because they have been published without restrictions by the author or with his consent) freely accessible by all Internet users. Note that in Svensson the linked works had been published without restriction of access by their authors.
Therefore, in order to determine what public is "new" with respect to a previous publication, the comparison cannot be made with respect to the addressees of an infringing public communication but with respect to the addressees of a communication authorized by the right-holder -where such authorized communication exists. Obviously, if the right-holder has not yet released or allowed a publication, any act of making publically available would generate a "new public".
It is obvious that any hyperlink -that works- is an act of making available (of the linked content). And, therefore, it is an act of communication to the public. The only thing that may be debated with respect to each hyperlink is whether (i) it should be considered part of the same act of communication made by the linked web (a continuation of the same); or (ii) it is an independent and distinct act of public communication (when the hyperlink is indispensable for such access).
Normally, the vast majority of the hyperlinks belong to the first group: they constitute a participation in an act of public communication initiated by a third party (the owner of the linked website). They are part of the same act of public communication or an extension of it. Therefore, the lawfulness or illegality of the hyperlink depends on the lawfulness or illegality of the public communication to which the hyperlink is directing.
Only when a hyperlink contributes something new (e.g.: enabling the finding of content, circumvention of measures of restriction of access of the linked website, etc.) it could be considered a distinct act of communication to the public (because its use turns out to be indispensable to gain access).
Thus, the criterion of the "indispensability" of a link for accessing to the work, which the Attorney General uses in its Opinion (paragraphs 54, 57, 59, 60, 69) is only relevant to see what type of act of public communication it is (the same one or different from the one initiated by the linked website), but not to determine whether or not the link is an act of communication to the public (it always is).
What the Advocate General does is treating a work protected by copyright as if it were a secret know-how. Once the secret is destroyed–due to disclosure of the confidential information by a third party- anyone may subsequently divulgate it. The AG intends to extrapolate this scheme into copyright: in a string of discloser-linkers only the first violation of the right of communication to the public would be prosecutable (the one made by the website that first publicized a protected work without permission). Those who later provided hyperlinks directed to this first infringing publication would be exempt. Obviously, this construction is revolutionary, because it would shatter the possibility to enforce copyright on the Internet. Anyone who desired to infringe would only need to find an intermediate entity or a "straw man" willing to infringe first; it would then suffice to link to the public communication made by that first infringer in order to get away unpunished.
If the opinion of the Advocate General was followed, the effect would be doubly surprising: (i) a sort of exhaustion of the exclusive right of communication to the public (ii) produced by a communication to the public non-authorized by the author. Let's hope that the ECJ reaches a more fortunate solution.
What is even more surprising is that the AG considers that any other interpretation of article 3 of Directive 2001/29/EC would significantly impair the functioning of the Internet and undermine one of the main objectives of the Directive, namely the development of the information society in Europe. He reasons that, as a general rule, internet users lack the knowledge and the means to verify whether the initial communication to the public of a protected work freely available on the internet was done with or without the consent of the holder of the copyright; and that, if internet users risk liability for copyright infringement every time they place a hyperlink to works which are freely accessible on another internet site, they would be much more hesitant to post those links, to the detriment of the proper functioning and very architecture of the internet as well as the development of the information society.
This objection is unfounded. The AG mixes the cessation actions with the action for damages. The fact that a cessation action is always available to the copyright holder in cases of infringement has nothing to do with the possibility of claiming damages from the infringer. This possibility will depend on the facts of the case. And, as a general rule, a lay Internet user may be presumed to be ignorant of whether the initial communication to the public of a protected work freely available on the internet was done with or without the consent of the holder of the copyright; and accordingly, such an internet user would not be liable for damages. This is what should be applied by analogy with the rules provided by articles 13 and 14 of the 'Directive on electronic commerce' for providers of an information society service (Directive 2000/31/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 8 June 2000). It must be remembered that the providers of an information society service are not subject to liability when they do not have actual knowledge of illegal activity or information and, as regards claims for damages, are not aware of facts or circumstances from which the illegal activity or information is apparent; or when, upon obtaining such knowledge or awareness, they act expeditiously to remove or to disable access to the information. Hence, if these companies or professionals are protected from damages claims when they ignore the lack of consent of a copyright holder regarding a communication to the public, a fortiori an Internet user from the general public should at least be entitled to the same level of protection.

By Andrew Snaith
A frenetic first half yielded four goals in a topsy turvy encounter between Northern League promotion chasers and a work-in-progress Town side.
Chris Hardy made three changes to the Whitby side that saw off Marske 2-0, in midweek. Andrew May, who looks increasingly like another joining from Hardy's old club, Guisborough Town, returned, as Town reverted to 5-3-2. Mikey Roberts replaced Jordan Jewson up front with Dale Hopson taking Dave McTiernan's midfield berth and captain's armband.
It was the visitors, in their new illuminous green away kit, who lit the way to goal, inside two minutes. A simple ball down the middle saw Sam Orritt get in ahead of Blues keeper Shane Bland, on the edge of the D, before slotting home. The match settled into a rhythm and Town began to claw their way back in. The hosts eventually levelled on 18 minutes as Roberts' persistence saw him snatch possession in the Bishops' box, before turning beautifully and placing calm and low between goalkeeper Scott Pocklington and his left, near post. Within two minutes, more Roberts industry and skill, this time down the left flank, saw the ball fired across goal and inches away from Cameron Park, arriving at the back post. It wasn't long, though, before the Seasiders turned the match on its head and led. Just before the half hour, Dan McWilliams took a short corner, from the right, which Roberts floated to the near post and Kieran Weledji executed the perfect downward header to dissect Pocklington and his far post.Adam Gell's backpass almost played Bland into trouble, with the gloveman's hurried clearance dropping wide off marksman Priestley Griffiths. Seconds later and that man Roberts was at it again. This time it was a solo run all of his own, as he brought a strong save from Pocklington at his near post after driving down the right and narrowly beating the offside flag.
Despite Whitby pressure, however, it was the visitors who struck next, with a fortunate penalty, ten minutes before half time. As the Blues battled to clear on the left-edge of their penalty area, Steven Snaith slid in and the ball cannoned off his outstretched arm. There seemed no attempt to handle and many believed the Town number eight was outside the box when contact was made, but nevertheless, referee Chris Keightley pointed to the spot. Griffiths strode up and comfortably sidefooted into the bottom-right corner from 12 yards.
Whitby made more chances moments before half time. First, Roberts crossed from the lreft for Gell to chest down but Pocklington to expertly close the angle and block wide. The resulting inswinging, right-wing McWilliams corner was then deflected wide by May.
Hardy made a double change at the interval. Having seen a great showing from an in-form Roberts, Matty Tymon got a go up front in the number nine's stead, while right-wing back Callum Martin made way for Jewson as Town re-jigged to 4-3-3.
Despite the attacking additions, second half action was mostly confined to the dugout as both sides shuffled their packs and chances were at a premium. Midway through, Bland again made way for young stopper James Dawson, in what remains a genuine battle from the Blues' number one shirt.
On 69 minutes, Park fired over from a left-wing corner before Dawson was almost caught out in identical fashion to his predecessor, as sub John Jury rounded the gloveman, but was charged down by covering defenders before he could bear down on goal.
Six minutes from time, Weledji- who looked very much at home as a driving right-back after half-time- ran onto Gell's long ball. After Tymon's nicely-judged dummy, the ex-Middlesbrough youngster continued his run and brought a strong parry, low to his right, from Pocklington, after unleashing a dangerous angled drive, from the right-edge of the box.
A minute before the end, Town had one last opportunity. Some terrific build up play down the left finally culminated in Hopson's left-wing byline cross glancing off Tymon's head, amid the lanky striker's far-post jump.
Whitby Town: Bland (Dawson 68), Martin (Jewson 46), McWilliams, Weledji, Robinson, May, Gell, Snaith, Roberts (Tymon 46), Hopson (c), Park. Subs not used: Scarth, Hume, Bullock, Organ-Simpson.
Bishop Auckland: Pocklington, Thompson (Jury 66), Hoganson, Griffiths, Colquhoun (McEvoy 78), Williamson, Bennett (Martindale 66), Orritt, Purewal (Moore 66), Martin, Smith.
