Host a CRAN mirror using Docker
- Details
- Published on Thursday, 19 February 2015 15:36
CRAN mirrors are the backbone to everyday common R usage. They provide the R website and most of the R packages today. Currently there are about 104 official CRAN mirrors. Hosting a CRAN mirror is one step to help the R community and is explained here.
To ease that process, at BNOSAC, we have created a Docker image which sets up a CRAN mirror.
That Docker image can be found and is available for download at the following docker registry: https://registry.hub.docker.com/u/bnosac/cran-mirror
For people who don't know Docker, it is basically a tool which allows developers to containerise an application. In this case, the application is to run a CRAN mirror.
How does it work. 3 steps:
1. Install Docker on your computer or server as explained here, if you haven't done this already.
2. Pull the docker image: docker pull bnosac/cran-mirror
3. Run the CRAN mirror: docker run -p 22:22 -p 80:80 -v /home/bnosac/CRAN/:/var/www/html -d bnosac/cran-mirror
That's it! It started synching CRAN on /home/bnosac/CRAN and will synch every day at 02h30 UTC. You can now go to 0.0.0.0 in your browser or find the ip address where it is running and go to that address in your browser to see the R website (see https://registry.hub.docker.com/u/bnosac/cran-mirror for more info).
Now what can you do with it.
- have a local CRAN mirror in your company
- install.packages("data.table", repos = "mylocalmirror")
- serve the community with another mirror if a closeby mirror is not readily available

RMOA package for running streaming classifcation & regression models now at CRAN
- Details
- Published on Thursday, 25 September 2014 11:47
Last week, we released the RMOA package at CRAN (http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/RMOA). It is an R package to allow building streaming classification and regression models on top of MOA.
MOA is the acronym of 'Massive Online Analysis' and it is the most popular open source framework for data stream mining which is being developed at the University of Waikato: http://moa.cms.waikato.ac.nz. Our RMOA package interfaces with MOA version 2014.04 and focusses on building, evaluating and scoring streaming classification & regression models on data streams.
Classification & regression models which are possible through RMOA are:
- Classification trees:
* AdaHoeffdingOptionTree
* ASHoeffdingTree
* DecisionStump
* HoeffdingAdaptiveTree
* HoeffdingOptionTree
* HoeffdingTree
* LimAttHoeffdingTree
* RandomHoeffdingTree
- Bayesian classification:
* NaiveBayes
* NaiveBayesMultinomial
- Active learning classification:
* ActiveClassifier
- Ensemble (meta) classifiers:
* Bagging
+ LeveragingBag
+ OzaBag
+ OzaBagAdwin
+ OzaBagASHT
* Boosting
+ OCBoost
+ OzaBoost
+ OzaBoostAdwin
* Stacking
+ LimAttClassifier
* Other
+ AccuracyUpdatedEnsemble
+ AccuracyWeightedEnsemble
+ OnlineAccuracyUpdatedEnsemble
+ TemporallyAugmentedClassifier
+ WeightedMajorityAlgorithm
- Regression modelling:
* AMRulesRegressor
* FadingTargetMean
* Perceptron
* RandomRules
* SGD (Stochastic Gradient Descent)
* TargetMean
Interfaces are implemented to model data in standard files (csv, txt, delimited), ffdf data (from the ff package), data.frames and matrices.
Documentation of MOA directed towards RMOA users can be found at http://jwijffels.github.io/RMOA
Examples on the use of RMOA can be found in the documentation, on github at https://github.com/jwijffels/RMOA or e.g. by viewing the showcase at http://bnosac.be/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=32:rmoa-massive-online-data-stream-classifications-with-r-a-moa&catid=8:blog&Itemid=107
If you need support on building streaming models on top of your large dataset. Get into contact.
RMOA: Massive online data stream classifications with R & MOA
- Details
- Published on Sunday, 18 May 2014 21:30
- It uses a limited amount of memory. So this means no RAM issues when building models.
- Processes one example at a time, and will run over it only once
- Works incrementally - so that a model is directly ready to be used for prediction purposes
- Easy to set up data streams on data in RAM (data.frame/matrix), data in files (csv, delimited, flat table) as well as out-of memory data in an ffdf (ff package).
- Easy to set up a MOA classification model
There are 26 classification models available which range from
- Classification Trees (AdaHoeffdingOptionTree, ASHoeffdingTree, DecisionStump, HoeffdingAdaptiveTree, HoeffdingOptionTree, HoeffdingTree, LimAttHoeffdingTree, RandomHoeffdingTree)
- Bayes Rule (NaiveBayes, NaiveBayesMultinomial)
Ensemble learning
- Bagging (LeveragingBag, OzaBag, OzaBagAdwin, OzaBagASHT)
- Boosting (OCBoost, OzaBoost, OzaBoostAdwin)
- Stacking (LimAttClassifier)
- Other (AccuracyUpdatedEnsemble, AccuracyWeightedEnsemble, ADACC, DACC, OnlineAccuracyUpdatedEnsemble, TemporallyAugmentedClassifier, WeightedMajorityAlgorithm)
- Active learning (ActiveClassifier)
Easy R-familiar interface to train the model on streaming data with a familiar formula interface as in
trainMOA(model, formula, data, subset, na.action = na.exclude, ...)
Easy to predict new data alongside the model as in
predict(object, newdata, type = "response", ...)
## ## Installation from github ## library(devtools) install.packages("ff") install.packages("rJava") install_github("jwijffels/RMOA", subdir="RMOAjars/pkg") install_github("jwijffels/RMOA", subdir="RMOA/pkg") ## ## HoeffdingTree example ## require(RMOA) hdt <- HoeffdingTree(numericEstimator = "GaussianNumericAttributeClassObserver") hdt ## Define a stream - e.g. a stream based on a data.frame data(iris) iris <- factorise(iris) irisdatastream <- datastream_dataframe(data=iris) ## Train the HoeffdingTree on the iris dataset mymodel <- trainMOA(model = hdt, formula = Species ~ Sepal.Length + Sepal.Width + Petal.Length, data = irisdatastream) ## Predict using the HoeffdingTree on the iris dataset scores <- predict(mymodel, newdata=iris, type="response") table(scores, iris$Species) scores <- predict(mymodel, newdata=iris, type="votes") head(scores) ## ## Boosted set of HoeffdingTrees ## irisdatastream <- datastream_dataframe(data=iris) mymodel <- OzaBoost(baseLearner = "trees.HoeffdingTree", ensembleSize = 30) mymodel <- trainMOA(model = mymodel, formula = Species ~ Sepal.Length + Sepal.Width + Petal.Length, data = irisdatastream) ## Predict scores <- predict(mymodel, newdata=iris, type="response") table(scores, iris$Species) scores <- predict(mymodel, newdata=iris, type="votes") head(scores)

The Bruins blew a 2-1 lead in the third period, giving up three unanswered goals to the Sabres in a 4-2 loss at Buffalo. Seemingly in command while ahead by only one goal thanks to the play of Sabres goalie Ryan Miller (30 saves), the Bruins fell apart by allowing three straight goals to Tyler Myers, Christian Ehrhoff and Cody Hodgson. Drew Stafford also scored on Bruins goalie Anton Khudobin, who made 22 saves.
Dougie Hamilton scored his first NHL goal and added an assist on a second-period Rich Peverley goal. David Krejci and Tyler Seguin also had helpers in the losing effort.
Bruins collapse late instead of starting slow: So many times this season, the Bruins have waited until late in the second period or into the third period to put their collective pedal to the medal and turn their game up a notch. A prime example was Tuesday's game against the Rangers, when Boston scored three unanswered goals in the third period to force extra time, before losing 4-3 in the shootout. Friday was the total opposite as the Bruins played a complete game for the first 40 minutes, taking a 2-1 lead into the final frame and then seeming to lay back and let the play come to them. The bottom line? Whether it's a lack of effort to begin or end the game, the Bruins aren't giving their all for three periods lately, and that needs to change.
Miller unfazed by Bruins: Following practice on Thursday, Gregory Campbell told ESPNBoston.com that the Bruins needed to make things more difficult for Ryan Miller. They did that to an extent but not enough for a goalie who, right now, seems to be the only reason his team has any chance of salvaging what has been a horrendous start to the season. Despite the Bruins slipping two past him, Miller remained unfazed. His teammates fed off his play in staging a comeback they desperately needed. If teams are to beat Miller, they need to keep the pressure on him throughout the whole game.
Hamilton looks like a veteran again: Hamilton's power-play goal was a thing of beauty. After a few so-so games, the rookie defenseman looked like a poised veteran rearguard once again. Hamilton started that scoring play and then finished it with a rifle past a screened and out-of-position Miller. Hamilton also had a helper on Peverley's go-ahead goal 2:29 into the second period. The youngster is starting to make a strong case for the Calder Trophy as rookie of the year.

Bill Wippert/NHLI/Getty ImagesDougie Hamilton scored his first NHL goal and added an assist, but it wasn't enough for the B's in Buffalo.
Seguin looks better: Plenty of criticism has been heaved at Tyler Seguin lately, but on Friday, Seguin looked to be skating harder, sacrificing his body more and using his offensive instinct to create chances for the Bruins. A perfect example of that was his assist on Hamilton's goal. Seguin helped move that puck around and was in the right place to make the play happen.
Lucic making his presence felt: Milan Lucic was everywhere in this game. He was getting back in the defensive zone as well as helping the transition out by skating hard down the wing and using his size to push the play. Lucic has admittedly had his periods of inconsistency over the past few seasons, but thus far, he seems to be on a mission and skating hard. With his size and presence, that can mean nothing but good things for the Bruins.
Lines stay the same: Despite some calls from the media and fans to have Seguin with Krejci and Lucic, Julien stuck with the same lines. It wasn't surprising, considering Seguin is struggling at both ends of the ice right now, and keeping him with Patrice Bergeron can only help him settle his game down and get back to basics. Here's what the lineup looked like:
Milan Lucic-David Krejci-Nathan Horton
Brad Marchand-Patrice Bergeron-Tyler Seguin
Chris Bourque-Chris Kelly-Rich Peverley
Daniel Paille-Greg Campbell-Shawn Thornton
Zdeno Chara-Johnny Boychuk
Dennis Seidenberg-Dougie Hamilton
Andrew Ference-Adam McQuaid

How Tiny Worms Could Help Humans Colonize Mars 101
from the send-in-the-worms dept.
We've improved Slashdot's video section; now you can view our video interviews, product close-ups and site visits with all the usual Slashdot options to comment, share, etc. No more walled garden! It's a work in progress -- we hope you'll check it out (Learn more about the recent updates).
Perhaps the choice of test subject had more to do with the ease of tending to them automatically over such a long time frame; using larger organisms like lab mice would likely be impractical. Methinks the similarity in the size of the genome is a happy coincidence.
What puzzles me is why it's necessary to send animals to Mars at all. Are there really that many more cosmic rays en route to Mars than there are where the ISS is?
It's about time we launched terraforming bacteria at all the planets and moons in the solar system.
Where, if the bacteria didn't outright die, it would proceed at a pace which would make glaciers appear as a blur.
What puzzles me is why it's necessary to send animals to Mars at all. Are there really that many more cosmic rays en route to Mars than there are where the ISS is?
Courtesy of the Magnetosphere [wikipedia.org], yes. The ISS is only about 300km up, while the magnetosphere extends over a dozen Earth radii (tens of thousands of km), blocking most radiation. There is far more in space than in Earth orbit.
In my opinion, their proteins are irrelevant to the experiment. C. Elegans lives two to three weeks. Even under perfect circumstances, the trip to Mars is going to take longer than the average lifespan of these worms. That means the worms have to reproduce in order for any to reach Mars alive. The radiation might not kill them by damaging their proteins in that short time, but it could sterilize them (they're hermaphrodites, each worm can impregnate itself, but must have working reproductive organs).
What do we know about long-term effects of interplanetary radiation on humans?
Chronic and acute radiation exposure have been studied. Most animals have cell repair mechanisms that make chronic exposure much less hazardous, up to a point. Interplanetary radiation between Earth and Mars orbit is probably closer to acute levels, except that blocking Alpha radiation and some Beta is possible with just a sheet of aluminum.
I bet the worms will survive for at least two generations (4-6 weeks approx.) but die out before food and oxygen are exhausted.
More importantly, I think people would survive the trip, but suffer from being sterile long before cancer becomes an issue. That means any people living on Mars would only be visiting, unless they spent their lives below the surface and each generation became parents as young as possible.
Worms are also messy. The cabin in a shuttle, rocket or space station are kept pristine by comparison. People dispose of their waste. The decay of the worm soil might raise the pressure in their small container. That might be a problem if it's a sophisticated design with an O2 inlet and CO2 outlet/scrubber. Higher air pressure could prevent oxygen from being fed in, and the worms then suffocate.
Money can't buy happiness, but it can make you awfully comfortable while you're being miserable. -- C.B. Luce

No more Deymere moulded fry pan handles!
Earlier today I had a discussion with a friendly representative at 125 West. I was ordering my first piece of Demeyere. I was finalizing a decision over ordering the 9.4 inch Apollo or Atlantis fry pan. She made the decision a lot easier when she said that Demeyere is discontinuing the fry pan with a moulded handled of the Apollo design and will now only make the pan with a cast handle of the Atlantis design. She indicated that the other handled pieces in the Apollo line will still be available. Although I am not into having a perfectly matched set (if I go with other Apollo pieces) I find it curious that Demeyere would not offer the fry pans to match the classic Apollo handle. Has anyone else heard of this change? There's no mention of it on the Demeyere web site.

Improvements of Artificial Reverberation by Use of Subband Feedback Delay Networks
This paper proposes the improvement of artificial reverberation through decomposition of input signal into subbands and use of different subband feedback delay networks (FDN). By this means nonuniform modal density is achieved and orders of FDNs are lowered. Evaluation of filter banks and corresponding subband FDNs are described. Comparison results, obtained through objective (simulation) and subjective (listening tests) analysis, are presented.

A person in a Mendenhall Valley neighborhood must have had a bad feeling about an unidentified object on the side of the road because it was reported as a suspicious device.
The report on Tuesday afternoon prompted a police officer to respond to Threadneedle Street to check it out — he didn't know what it was, either. Police then dispatched an officer who specializes Explosive Ordnance Disposal to investigate. The officer didn't have to use the force to realize what it was: a plastic Star Wars lightsaber toy.
Police responded to a two-vehicle crash near Walmart on Wednesday afternoon, which looked serious but did not result in any injuries.
The 75-year-old driver of a 1997 Ford Sports Utility Vehicle failed to yield at a blinking yellow light near the Glacier Highway Access Road and slammed into a 1996 Honda Accord driven by a 70-year-old man, according to a police spokeswoman.
A Washington man was sentenced to 18 months in federal prison on Tuesday for supplying heroin to a Ketchikan drug ring in 2011 and 2012.
Judge Timothy Burgess imposed the sentence for Wayne Gary Sherman, 43, during a hearing in U.S. District Court in Juneau.
Prosecutors said Sherman provided heroin to drug dealers in Ketchikan from September 2011 to May 2012. The drugs were transported to Ketchikan on the state ferry system, commercial barge services and through the mail. Co-conspirators also received drugs from Sherman directly in Washington.
A 45-year-old Juneau resident was sentenced to six years in prison on Tuesday for threatening a man with a gun during an altercation over drugs at the Coho Park Apartments in December, an event that ended badly for James Depasquale III since the threatened man then shot him in self-defense.
During his sentencing hearing at Juneau Superior Court, Depasquale said he blames himself for getting shot.
A convicted sex offender from California pleaded guilty Tuesday to failing to register as a sex offender after he moved to Juneau nine months ago, a felony that can carry up to 10 years in prison.
Jeremy Robert Reef, 39, admitted to the offense during a hearing in U.S. District Court before Judge Timothy Burgess. He is scheduled to be sentenced on Dec. 1.
The financial secretary of a local carpenters union pleaded guilty Tuesday to embezzling $40,000 of the union's assets over a six-year span.
Jonathan Henry Smith, 42, admitted to the felony during a hearing in U.S. District Court in Juneau before Judge Timothy Burgess. He is scheduled to be sentenced in December.
Prosecutors said Smith was elected as financial secretary of Carpenters Local Union 2247 in 2006, and began stealing from the organization the following year until 2012. The union has approximately 150 members in Juneau.
The Juneau Police Department on Tuesday will honor two of its officers for helping save a man who stopped breathing, as well as a quick-thinking 9-year-old girl who called 911 when her friend was injured in an unrelated incident.
JPD will be handing out the life-saving awards to Officers Blain Hatch and Jim Quinto and a certificate to Peyton Carson during a ceremony at the JPD station. JPD holds such award ceremonies quarterly.
The brakes have been thrown on plans to improve Juneau's public transportation system as the city continues to slash budgets to combat a multimillion-dollar deficit and grapples with objections from Capital Transit employees who do not approve of proposed changes.
The delay caused Assemblymembers to express frustration during a Committee of the Whole meeting Monday night.
"I feel like I'm hitting my head against a concrete wall on this issue," Assemblywoman Karen Crane said during the work session, noting this is the second plan they've had to throw out.
A 39-year-old man is facing federal charges for possessing explosive materials after allegedly detonating "seal bombs" — normally reserved for scaring seals away from fishing nets — inside the Ketchikan tunnel last month, according to federal prosecutors.
No one was injured in the July 4 incident despite the fact that a taxi cab was driving through the tunnel at the time, Assistant U.S. Attorney Jack Schmidt said.
"It didn't do any damage (to the tunnel), and it didn't hurt the person that was in the tunnel at the time," Schmidt said in an interview.
Police are investigating a motor vehicle crash wherein a woman reported being run over by a Honda CRV in the State Office Building parking garage.
The 23-year-old victim sustained injuries and was taken to the hospital by paramedics who responded to the scene on Willoughby Avenue at about 7:45 a.m. Aug. 8, according to the police and fire departments.
The extent of her injuries are unknown. An incident report from Capital City Fire Rescue indicates she was given advanced life support care en route to Bartlett Regional Hospital.

I decided on these in amber after much research, and have not regretted it. These lights are pretty bright, and more of a orange/amber than the hyper yellow color I had, but in fog they are awesome. These are a little pricey, but well worth it.The mount kit rigid makes for this truck works well and very easy to install.

Thousands of Egyptians flooded the streets on Friday (February 1st) in a mostly peaceful show of opposition to President Mohamed Morsi after a week of a wave of deadly unrest swept the country.
Opposition groups had called for peaceful protests on Friday, which they dubbed "Day of Deliverance" to demand a unity government and an amendment to the recently approved constitution.
The protests came a day after rival factions condemned the violence of recent protests and called for a national dialogue
Thousands also marched in the Mediterranean port of Alexandria and the canal city of Port Said, which was at the heart of last week's clashes after 21 residents were sentenced to death over football-related violence a year ago.

Best Jewelry Ideas for Men
Jewelry can really add to the style of a man, depending on how he chooses to wear it. The type and quantity you choose to wear really says a lot about you. Wearing the right jewelry and watches can catch the eye and give you a look that is quite professional and classy, while wearing the wrong jewelry can appear tacky. Whether you are buying men's jewelry for yourself or shopping for men's watches, rings, necklaces and bracelets to give as gifts, the best men's jewelry ideas are those that reflect your personal style and contribute to a sophisticated look. Rings are one of the most common men's jewelry items and can require a lot of thought during the shopping process. Whether you are shopping for a men's wedding band, a special ring for an anniversary or Valentine gift or just want to add a nice ring to your jewelry collection, masculine rings come in a variety of styles to suit nearly every man's taste. Classic materials such as silver and gold are a great choice in men's rings because they are timeless and come in nearly every shape and size to fit you just right. On the other hand, materials such as tungsten, titanium and stainless steel are becoming popular choices for men's rings because of their durability and sleek, modern look. Men's rings are also available with diamonds and gemstones if you are interested in a ring with a little more flair. The right watch will add a lot to your daily look, and should also be a highly functional piece. You have a wide range of options when shopping for a men's watch. If you feel overwhelmed by the process, then you might try narrowing it down by price, material and functions. Men's watches are available in a wide range of prices, so establishing a budget is a great first step in the shopping process. Additionally, with so many styles available, it is important to have a general idea of the look and type of material that you want in a watch. Sporty watches with high quality plastic and leather straps are perfect additions to casual looks, while fancier watches made of gold, silver, titanium, stainless steel, tungsten and platinum can add a lot to a classy and dressy wardrobe. When it comes to functions, shopping for the perfect watch becomes very personal. Every man needs something different in a watch and you can find the perfect one for you, whether you want something very simple and basic or you desire a highly technical timepiece. Shopping for men's bracelets, necklaces and earrings can be a little tricky and requires some careful thought. Many men find that watches and rings are simply not enough for their jewelry wardrobe. There are many different kinds of men's bracelets, necklaces, earrings and other unique pieces that you can add to create the right look for you. These pieces come in many different varieties to suit your style preferences. Necklaces and bracelets made of gold, silver, titanium and platinum add a bit of polish to an outfit, while natural materials such as hemp and leather provide a more understated look. When shopping for men's earrings, personal style is a main factor and you can choose between studs with diamonds and gemstones, ear plugs, surgical steel hoops and many others. Don't be afraid to let your personal style shine through, use men's jewelry pieces to accentuate every outfit in your closet. View All Men's Jewelry Back to Guides Directory View All Men's Jewelry

Will be held at the University of Montana in Missoula from September 17-20, 2014. I will be attending and have rounded up a roommate. The CSBA Event Calendar has been updated to reflect the most recent information, too. Next year, the CSBA will be hosting the WAS conference here in Colorado.

Happy National Honey Bee Day!
Happy National Honey Bee Day!
Thank you to all who are volunteering today! The CSBA is truly appreciative of your efforts!
The public is currently very interested in bees, beekeeping, and the problems with bee health. As beekeepers, it is our responsibility to educate the public on these issues. Like it or not, public outreach and education is a non-stop and essential duty of all beekeeping associations as well as the CSBA. If you volunteer, THANK YOU! If you do not, please consider it. Not all volunteer needs require public engagement. It does not take much time and is extremely gratifying.
We are still lacking a statewide coordinator for National Honey Bee Day. Interested? Contact me at 970-213-3099 or firstname.lastname@example.com.
Cottage Industry Labels
How's your harvest? Going to sell some honey this year? The CSBA has Cottage Industry Bill labels available for all of you who are packing honey in your homes. They are $4 for 100 or $30 for 1000. These labels are good for any cottage industry product including honey. If you need some labels, please contact me at 970-213-3099 or firstname.lastname@example.com. I will need to know the quantity desired and a physical mailing address.
Colorado State Fair
NCBA member Ronda Koski is coordinating the first ever bee booth at the Colorado State Fair. VOLUNTEERS ARE STILL NEEDED! It would be really nice if the regional associations could each muster enough volunteers to take one–just one–day at the booth. Many hands do, indeed, make light work. This is an excellent opportunity to reach out to potential new members.
For those of you who volunteer, you can sell product, too. This is a terrific opportunity to expand your market for your product. I will be setting up the booth this Thursday, August 23rd and the fair runs through Labor Day weekend. Please contact Ronda if you can assist. She can be reached at 970-217-5286 or email@example.com. Thank you Ronda for your efforts.
Africanized Honey Bee Testing Info
I just wanted to let you know that so far all the honey bee samples received have had very high likelihood (0.89-0.0999) that they were European rather than African.
It has taken us quite a bit longer to get materials together and to have confidence in the measurements we are doing, but I think we are now good to go.
So, if you know of anyone who wishes to send in a sample for the simple FABIS measurements assessing likelihood of European or African parentage, we would be happy to receive them and can now turn them around quickly.
Samples should involve a minimum of 30 bees – 50 is preferable. They need to arrive in good shape (particularly wings), preferably having a fresh weight we can use reliably (but not shipped so that they mold en route).
If anyone wishes to send a sample it is suggested that they email a head of time so that we can expect them: firstname.lastname@example.com
Samples should be sent to my attention: Whitney Cranshaw, Department of Bioagricultural Sciences and Pest Management-1177, Colorado State University, Fort Collins, CO 80523
There will be no charge for any samples received in 2014. If we decide to extend this in 2015 we may revisit this, but for this year I will absorb all the costs while we figure out whether this is something worth significant time/effort in the future.
Whitney Cranshaw
Western Apicultural Society (WAS) Conference
The WAS conference will be held at the University of Montana in Missoula, MT on September 17-20. I will be going and could still use a female roommate at the hotel. Holler at me if you are interested. All the details can be found on the CSBA Event Calendar.
CSBA Winter Meeting
Hard to believe that the CSBA Winter Meeting is right around the corner—but it is! Put November 7th and 8th on your calendar now! We will be back at the easy-to-get-to Douglas County Fairgrounds. Featured speakers will be Katie Lee, Marla Spivak's PhD candidate and a member of the Bee Informed Partnership and Melanie Kirby from Zia Queen Bees. Final details are still being hammered out but it will be another full day of activities. There will be an Election of Officers as well as the BIG MONEY HONEY contest! See you there!

Memorial Day Observance
By SteelJaw
…The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us-that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion-that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain-that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom-and that government : of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.
