The Stanford Daily fails to justify labeling Dr. Norman Finkelstein a holocaust denier
Original post made by Robin, College Terrace, on Jan 27, 2007
"Finkelstein's argument is as follows: The Jews, in a fiendish conspiracy, have fabricated a "Holocaust Industry" in order to portray themselves as victims, cynically exploit their suffering and consolidate Israel as a power set on regional domination. If the Holocaust had never happened, the Jews would have invented it themselves, since the Holocaust served their diabolical quest for money and global imperialism."

The issue isn't whether the holocaust has been fabricated, of course it took place. Nothing can be as terrible as the holocaust, but one thing comes in second. The Israelis have used the holocaust as an excuse to do terrible things and then claim that because of the holocaust, they can't be judged by the same standards the rest of the world is. Many awful crimes that the Israeli occupation forces and the radical settlers dead squads have committed against the indigenous population go unreported in this country, either because the Israelis manage to cover them up or because of the main stream media here is much more interested in covering gossip and sex. The sublime message Israel is sending is that she should be allowed to commit some of the same crimes others committed against Jews over centuries, because the descendents of the victims should be given a pass and should never be judged or criticized. An one who denies this should have the decency to tell it to my face, as I have witnessed first hand the crimes Israel and the settler paramilitary gangs have committed while serving in the IDF. To be frank, I'm one of those IDF officers who should be tried in the Hague because I didn't enough to stop those crimes.

What is the appropriate response for a nation being continually wared on?

There's a world of diference between a nation defending itself when attacked, like Israel did in 1973, and being a cruel occupier. Defending yourself from attacking armies is very different from systemic humiliation and gross human rights violation that also include bltant land theft by the Israeli government. How in the world can Israel expect the occupied not to resort to armed resistence when they are humiliated on a daily baisi by various acts, purposely designed to break their spirit and make their life intolerable. When they witness settlers shooting up their stores, spitting on their women and choldren and sometime murdering civilians who haven't done anything wrong, while the military looks passively on, doing nothing. In the rare occasion those hooligans are brought to trial, they are exonerted for 'lack of evidence', since the soldiers who witnessed it are warned to testify against the hooligan settlers, or receive light sentences which are commuted almost immediately. Why in the world shouldn't the locals resist and why shouldn't the world develop a cynical approach to the systemic use of the holocaust as justification for gross human right abuses and often war crimes by the Israelis?

I think you mix up two separate issues.
How Israel handles the occupied territories is one thing. I actually agree that Israel messed up on few (but not all!) aspects of this, and certainly the lax law enforcement on the settlers should -- and often is -- condemned.
The holocaust issue, on the other hand, is completely different. Holocaust did happen, and it would be foolish--and immoral!--for the Zionists not to use it as yet another reason to establish Israel. Its use may have not always been perfect, but we all are not perfect people. This is very different from claiming that the holocaust's main--or even just significant!--use in today's Israel is for justification of illegal/immoral acts. This is simply a lie, as you must know. How few individuals justify their own deeds is beyond anyone's control, but with the exception of few times during Begin's days, the STATE did not use the holocaust as an excuse, or the reason, for its deeds. Indeed, the shoe is on the other foot. The world tends to judge only Israel by Utopian moral standards, and it does not do it to anyone else. The Palestinian refugee issue gets 10x air-time than any other human rights issue (despite what the senile Jimmy Carter may say); Israel is yet again the only one that the "new" UN Human Rights Council passed a resolution against -- nothing about Russia/Chechnya, Sudan/Darfur, China, Belarus, Cuba, Zimbabwe, Iran, etc., etc., etc. Only Israel.
The holocaust permeates the history of the State of Israel. Trying to deny it would be like trying to deny that the Revolutionary War, or the Civil War, permeate the history of the US, and that they still drive many of our actions and laws. What is wrong with that?
But in any case Norman Finkelstein's position is not limited to the fact that the holocaust should not be used to excuse inappropriate behavior in the occupied territories. His argument is that the State of Israel was created in sin, and that the holocaust was the justification used to aid its creation. And his corollary seems to be that such "wrong" needs to be "rectified." I will consider it after he donates all his earthly property to the local Native American reservation and emigrates back to whichever country his parents came from. Until then...

You insist Finkelstein's position is "the State of Israel was created in sin, and that the holocaust was the justification used to aid its creation. And his corollary seems to be that such "wrong" needs to be "rectified."
Where do you come up with this stuff?
It's just not true.
Have you even read a single book of his? A single commentary?
Are you able to cite where Finkelstein disputes Israel's right to exist peacefully with her neighbors?
Or are so ideologically biased and unscrupulous that you resort to willfully smearing someone you dislike?

If Americans could read the frank discussion in the Israeli press about Israel's inhuman treatment of Palestinians they would wonder how they, as Americans with a "free press," became so totally brainwashed.
As for the the claim that the holocaust is supposedly not used in today's Israel for justification of illegal/immoral acts, 90 percent of Israelis, even those who support the occupation, would laugh very hard at this assertion.
One more point, most Israelis now are of Sephardi origins and their families didn't expeience the holocaust, nor can most of them relate to it in any genuine way. The holocaust is used almost primarily as a cynical tool to justify gross human rights violations to the Israeli public and to the world. Practically every Israeli is aware of this and more and more Israelis are sick to their stomachs, but possibly not enough at this point in time..

What about the Haredi?
Is it not true their numbers and power are expanding?
a resident of Palo Verde
on Jan 28, 2007 at 1:08 pm
How some Israeli *individuals* justify their acts is not the issue at hand. The point I am making is that the *state* is not using such justifications. And the fact that the Israeli press is full of this debate goes more towards showing that there is a robust discourse in Israel on the (im)morality of this position, rather than that this justification is prevalent or even common. If you were to look at our press here over the last 3 years, you would think that Abu Ghraib and Hadditha type events happened every other day in Iraq. But we know they did not.
Finally, you argument that currently Sephardim are the majority in Israel and hence the holocaust is not "their" issue is deeply flawed. First, your numbers are probably incorrect if one accounts for the massive Russian Jews immigration in the 90's. Secondly, some North African Jewry did suffer under the Germans/Italians during the war. Finally, whatever the ancestry of any individual Israeli Jew, the holocaust is not only a "personal" thing in Israel -- it is one of the philosophical and historical justifications for the existence of Israel, and it affects every Jew living there. Claiming otherwise would be akin to arguing that since so many of Americans came to the US after the civil war, they really should not care about slavery since their ancestors didn't take part in it.

Wolf posts "If you were to look at our press here over the last 3 years, you would think that Abu Ghraib and Hadditha type events happened every other day in Iraq. But we know they did not."
Most everybody lies like crazy during times of conflict, so we really don't have a great deal of certainty about anything happening in Iraq.
Remember, the most vocal supporters of the Iraq Disaster, including Perle, Adelman, Frum, Ladeen, Kristol, et al., remained silent about problems in Iraq for nearly 4 years. When it became clear that Republicans were about to lose control of the Congress, it seems Perle and Co. suddenly found it politically expedient to insist GWB, Cheney, Rumsfeld were to blame for poor execution.
Why else would they wait nearly 4 years to alert us GWB and Dick were goofing up?
Or do you honestly believe they just figured it out last November?

'How some Israeli *individuals* justify their acts is not the issue at hand. The point I am making is that the *state* is not using such justifications.'
Actually, the *state* has been doing just that, in a very sophisticated way. Obviously, there isn't a written government policy paper declaring that the holocaust is a justification for human right abuses or war crimes. However, whenever Israel is backed into a corner when caught red handed, trying to justify settler hooliganizm, land theft, collective punishment, targeted executions, checkpoint humiliation and brutality, etc, the 'we are holocaust survivors we can't behave like Sweden' comes out as if on cue, be it the primer, a minister, an ambassador or a government spokesperson. It' a routine MO and they are all trained very well.
In general, there's a crowd in the US of neocons as well as Jews and gentiles for whom 'Israel Right or Wrong' and 'Israel is always Right' is a way of life. They will justify anything Israel does no matter how repulsive. Many Israelis role their eyes at the mention of them and have a comment that translates from Hebrew as:'they are trying to be more Catholic than the Pope'. I found any discourse with them to be hopeless.

"How in the world can Israel expect the occupied not to resort to armed resistence when they are humiliated on a daily basis by various acts, purposely designed to break their spirit and make their life intolerable"
Why don't the Palestinians move East? Isreal has been fighting this twilight war long enough - time to lay it on the line and treat the next incursion on their land as a full blown war and push the enemy back beyone rocket range. A peaceful palestine would long ago have benefited from free trade, employment and tranquility. A beligerant Palestine deserves the beligerance they sow.

Robin...Those neocons are now pulling strings to get us to attack Iran. It won't matter if Bush is in office or Hillary (take your pick)is in office. . The appeal will be to the protection of innocent people in general, Isreal in particular. American liberals and conservatives will probably join together on this one. Why? Because innocents will be killed by the hundreds of thousands, if we don't attack. What's new? It is the same thing with Saddam: He slaughtered many hundreds of thousands, if not millions.
We are now hearing about Darfur, mostly from the liberals. They are on the edge of demanding an international force to save the women babies. Translation: Send in the 101st Airborne. After all, none of their sons would ever be in the military. When it all heads south, they will claim that it was all bad planning. I have a better idea: Don't go in at all. Let the babies die.

There hasn't been an incursion on Israeli land since 1948, only guerrilla/terror raids and even those have stopped. Most Israelis realize that the occupation of Palestinian territory is unrelated to Israel's security. Israel maintains the occupation and what comes with it:humiliation, murder, human right abuse and corruption because the settlers threaten a civil war if evacuated from the w. bank and because Israel want to control the water.

Amen, Ron.
Hopefully this absurd chest-thumping at Iran is mere posturing, but I don't have my hopes up.
We've managed to destablize and terrorize three relatively peaceful, relatively harmles nations, so why not roll Iran into the mix?
As for saving babies, I don't think we have the will or the might to do that any more than we had the will and might to spread democracy to the Middle East.
On a slightly brighter note, it is interesting to watch more Republicans hesitate to jump on the escalation bandwagon.

Robin...I agree that the Republicans are in a tight spot. However, I don't see the big picture in a partisan way. If Dennis Kucinich is elected president, he will figure out some way to send our troops off to save babies. He will give in to idealism and moralism. It will be another morass.
Until this country can get used to allowing the innocent to be slaughtered by their own leaders, we will continue to fall into the trap. Like Iraq.

We DO let that happen all the time, Ron - Iraq was just the exception for a variety of reasons, none of which had to do with saving innocents.

Bassam Aramin spent nine years in an Israeli prison. He belonged to Yasser Arafat's Al Fatah in the Hebron area and attempted to throw a grenade at an Israeli army Jeep in occupied Hebron. Last Wednesday morning, an Israeli soldier in a jeep in his village of Anata, on the West Bank, shot his nine year old daughter, Abir, in the head. The soldier will not spend an hour in jail. In Israel, soldiers are not imprisoned for killing Arabs. Never. It does not matter whether the Arabs are young or old, real or potential terrorists, peaceful demonstrators or stone throwers. The army has not conducted an inquiry in Abir Aramin's death. Neither the police nor the courts have questioned anyone. There will be no investigation. As far as the Israeli Defense Forces are concerned, the shooting did not happen. The army's official account of her death is that she was hit by a stone that one of her classmates was throwing "at our forces."
Those who live in Israel know that stones thrown by 10 year olds do not blow brains out. Just as they see every day the Israeli jeeps circling Palestinian children on their way to and from school and greet them with stun-bombs, "rubber" bullets and riot control gas.

Since you claim you are one of those IDF officers who should be tried in the Hague, what are you doing hiding in Palo Alto? Why don;t you return to Israel and turn yourself in to the proper authorities in the Gaza Strip. I am sure that the Palestinian Authoirty will arrange a trial for you.
As for your initial comments, note that Israel wants to be treated like the rest of the world--unfortunately they are held to a higher standard then other nations--a better description would be a double standard vis a vis their treatment by the world.
While the Palestinian issue is a messy one, the root cause of the continuing strife and Israel's need to take action (which I applaud for their constraint) is the refusal of the Palestinians to recognize Israel's right to exist.

During the British mandate, Jewish kids would throw stones at British troops, yet the British troops never shot at the kids. There was even one incident, in almost 30 years of British rule in which a Jewish child was shot by a British soldier or agent. Israeli troops often shoot at Paletinian children who don't throw stones. It's part of a campaign of terror by the Israelis, aimed at breaking the Palestinian spirit and encourage them to leave their land. Israeli soldiers, reserves and conscripts, have been reporting for years many incidents of unprovoked fatal shootings of Palestinian children by IDF soldiers. While Palestinian terror acts on Israeli civilians within the green line are denounced, and rightly so, Israel refuses to take responsibility for the deliberate policy of killing Arab children.

People who use their children as bombs are responsible for their deaths, not those who defend their people against the bomb attacks.
I don't believe that children are shot at for throwing stones. I will believe that children are shot at if they look like they are throwing a grenade..like children who are shot here when they look like they are about to shoot a real gun.
The responsibility is up to the Palestinians to keep their children out of the fight..and they don't.

The evidence of deliberate shooting of unharmed palestinian children(not carryong bombs or stones) and subsequent cover-up is abundant, available upon request from human rights organizations,Israelis and international alike, from the archives of mainstream Israeli newpapers and from the testimony of many Israeli soldiers over the years. I have personally spoken to a number of Israel soldiers and officers who told me about their doctorination before serving in the occupied territoroes,about verbal order to shoot children, often by snipers, about violence and murder of arabs by settlers with the army turning a blind eye and it is blood chilling.

Uri must know that quite a few soldiers were tried on such charges over the years, and fortunately most were found not guilty of shooting peaceful Palestinians in cold blood. That does not mean that there are no lesser transgression. Nor that they go unpunished. Here are few recent headlines.

Chris McGreal in Jerusalem
Wednesday November 16, 2005
The Guardian
"An Israeli army officer who fired the entire magazine of his automatic rifle into a 13-year-old Palestinian girl and then said he would have done the same even if she had been three years old was acquitted on all charges by a military court yesterday.
The soldier, who has only been identified as "Captain R", was charged with relatively minor offences for the killing of Iman al-Hams who was shot 17 times as she ventured near an Israeli army post near Rafah refugee camp in Gaza a year ago.
The manner of Iman's killing, and the revelation of a tape recording in which the captain is warned that she was just a child who was "scared to death", made the shooting one of the most controversial since the Palestinian intifada erupted five years ago even though hundreds of other children have also died.
After the verdict, Iman's father, Samir al-Hams, said the army never intended to hold the soldier accountable."
Web Link
The transcript
The following is a recording of a three-way conversation that took place between a soldier in a watchtower, an army operations room and Capt R, who shot the girl
From the watchtower "It's a little girl. She's running defensively eastward." "Are we talking about a girl under the age of 10?" "A girl about 10, she's behind the embankment, scared to death." "I think that one of the positions took her out." "I and another soldier ... are going in a little nearer, forward, to confirm the kill ... Receive a situation report. We fired and killed her ... I also confirmed the kill. Over."
From the operations room "Are we talking about a girl under the age of 10?"
Watchtower "A girl about 10, she's behind the embankment, scared to death."
A few minutes later, Iman is shot from one of the army posts
Watchtower "I think that one of the positions took her out."
Captain R "I and another soldier ... are going in a little nearer, forward, to confirm the kill ... Receive a situation report. We fired and killed her ... I also confirmed the kill. Over."
Capt R then "clarifies" why he killed Iman
"This is commander. Anything that's mobile, that moves in the zone, even if it's a three-year-old, needs to be killed. Over."

Following up on the October 2003 National Summit, the Department and partner organizations held eight regional summits in 2004. The summits offered substantive information, on-site expertise, and time for state teams to create or modify a plan to provide a rigorous high school experience for every student.
The partners who assisted the Department and played a vital role in the success of the regional summits included the Council of Chief State School Officers (CCSSO), the National Governors Association (NGA), the National Association of Secondary School Principals (NASSP), and the Council of the Great City Schools (CGCS).
The 2004 regional summits were held in:
- Billings, MT
- Atlanta, GA
- St. Louis, MO
- Phoenix, AZ
- San Diego, CA
- Cleveland, OH
- Boston, MA
- Waikiki, HI (Pacific Rim Summit)
After the summits, the Department continued its collaboration with its partners, by:
- Holding a monthly conference call with the CCSSO and state team leaders;
- Offering technical assistance grants for states and territories to continue high school improvement;
- Sponsoring training for state coordinators and trainers on the reform principles outlined in the National Association of Secondary School Principal's "Breaking Ranks II" handbook. Seventeen states participated in the initial round of training; and
- Hosting an urban high school summit in November 2004 with the CGCS. Representatives from 34 large urban high schools participated.

Mission of the Hydropower Program
The mission of the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE's) Hydropower Program is to conduct research and development (R&D) that will improve the technical, societal, and environmental benefits of hydropower and provide cost-competitive technologies that enable the development of new and incremental hydropower capacity, adding diversity to the nation's energy supply.
Program Organization and Management
The Hydropower Program is organized under the DOE Office of Wind and Hydropower Technologies in Washington, DC. A concerted effort is made to coordinate DOE's research and development with that of other federal agencies and industry, including both private and public entities involved with hydropower development. An open peer-review process involving industry and environmental resource agencies ensures that stakeholders are involved and that high-priority research needs are being addressed. A Technical Committee is maintained to review progress, evaluate results, and ensure coordination with related R&D activities of other agencies and industry. This Technical Committee consists of experts from the hydropower industry and state and Federal agencies. In addition, the reviews of specialists who are not members of the Technical Committee are obtained, when appropriate. Active coordination provides "situational awareness," avoids duplication of research efforts, and creates a synergy among related research effects.
Three of DOE's National Laboratories with experience in hydropower issues provide technical support to the Program: Idaho National Laboratory (INL), Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL), and Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL). The lead laboratory for engineering and program management support is INL. ORNL is the lead laboratory for environmental and computational support. PNNL is involved in biological testing and technology development studies, taking advantage of their experience with fish and test facilities. A combination of industry, universities, and federal facilities conduct research activities for the Hydropower Program. Where federal facilities have the equipment and personnel to reduce the overall cost to DOE, they are used for conducting R&D.

Technology is the key to helping prisons fulfill their duty of care
How intelligence management can protect the entire community
Gordon Harrison, Industry Expert, Public Security SAS
Across the world, prisons perform a similar function – as places where individuals who have committed crimes can be confined and their movements and freedoms restricted.
Most share similar problems from bullying to communal violence; drug smuggling; corruption and manipulation. They should all also be an integral part of their community. Staff and suppliers typically come from the local area. When prisoners are released they must integrate back into society. As a result, prisons hold a duty of care not just to prisoners but to staff and the wider environment in which they operate.
Being able to use systems to contribute to and quickly gather information about each prisoner is crucial to providing a duty of care to them as well as staff and the wider community.
The need to handle prisoners effectively is vital to this. Intelligence collection and management are also key in deterring potential trouble-makers and protecting the broader prison community.
Accessing the right information
It is standard practice for security departments to develop intelligence products to aid decision-making, affecting everything from parole to temporary release, re-categorization, work placements and cell allocation.
However, in the absence of modern widely accessible systems, security departments require to proactively collect information from staff and prisoners. The result is that assessments are made without access to all available information, can be flawed in their judgments or even unintentionally misleading. Being able to use systems to contribute to and quickly gather information about each prisoner is, therefore, crucial to providing a duty of care to them as well as staff and the wider prison environment.
In the event that a prisoner takes his cellmate hostage and makes demands of the authorities, being able to rapidly access intelligence about the prisoner and their cellmate will be key in helping negotiators bring the hostage drama to an end. Critically too, it will help avoid the hostage being injured in addition to protecting the broader prison population.
But this duty of care should never just be about what happens within prison. It must be extended to help protect the wider community outside the gates. Take the scenario where a prisoner suffers an apparent medical emergency. The authorities will need to take a view on whether the injury or illness is genuine. In this situation, having access to high-quality intelligence about the prisoner could be key to the completion of an informed risk assessment, putting in place a police shadow, or deciding how many staff should escort the prisoner to hospital.
Being able to do this quickly is essential. The prisoner could be genuinely ill and, if their condition deteriorates because of a delay, their health could be threatened. The key is finding a balance between upholding a duty of care for prisoners and protecting the public.
Engaging with criminal justice partners
The effective sharing of information with external agencies is of paramount importance in maintaining prison management systems and in safeguarding the broader community.
In making this happen, prison management needs to build trust and encourage an inward and outward flow of information about prisoners between prisons and third-party agencies with 'a need to know.' Developing this kind of relationship also helps management become more proactive in disseminating relevant information to the appropriate agency e.g. police, probation service or social services.
It is also key to use systems to pinpoint issues relating to prisoners that might otherwise have been hidden. When a prisoner is eligible for parole, a report on his or her conduct is required by the parole board. Technology can be used to provide the complete picture identifying both negative and positive prisoner behaviour during their time inside.
Managing offenders back into the community
The current emphasis within prisons on rehabilitating prisoners and preventing them from reoffending is the most high profile way in which the authorities are seeking to change the prison experience to ensure that when they leave prison, inmates focus on making a positive contribution to the wider community.
Information management technology can play an equally critical role in helping the prison authorities enhance internal prison management while strengthening the impact prisons have on the wider community, ensuring that prisoners are fully prepared to return to the outside world on release, while fulfilling their responsibility to protect the public.

Ill second Astrobee's request - I've sent emails to the "transfers@..." Address with no response.
Ill second Astrobee's request - I've sent emails to the "transfers@..." Address with no response.
Thanks Cam, email sent, fingers crossed!
I'm still waiting.
Shortly after emailing them, they replied to indicate my request is "under review".
Just got an email confirming the debt owed me and requesting a mailing address. Optimistic!
I got the same email, keeping my fingers crossed!
Did anybody else see this on their website?
"Our legal representatives are working to stop the false allegations that have been spread around. These pages will be activated again as soon as that has been completed. Thank you for your patience and support."
I'm sure they are all false. I haven't heard of them doing anything wrong.
I'm still waiting for my $130.50 but I must be making that up. I have a receipt if anybody wants to see it.
Did you send your refund request to the link they had on the site? I believe they had that or similar wording previously but since I got the money they owed me I haven't been keeping up with them.
I've been sending requests since they put that link up on their site. I even sent another email yesterday saying I would either take what I originally ordered or a refund. It makes no difference to me. I'm glad to see that Russell is making it right with some of you but I've yet to even receive an email back. I hate to see trouble with anybody in the bee business but I work hard for my money.
I am still in shock that I got my money if not the season back. He may have run out of money or decided the heat is off by now. Search back thru these complaint threads. I believe there are addresses or places to contact authorities. The man found the motivation to pay after a visit to to jail. Maybe the law needs to help you.
Yeah, I sent an email also as a reminder, kind of like checking in, and big surprise?? No answer. Must have gotten a few taken care of and the pressure is off. I did file the complaint with the Gov't link for fraud, will send another email in another week or so. Would just be tooo good to be true that everyone get's their orders made right.
The expected has happened. Today, I received court notice that Russell Apiaries is in bankruptcy court. Regardless of what his supporters on this forum seem to believe, one cannot run a business the way Russell Apiaries has been run and treat customers the way Russell Apiaries has and expect to stay ahead of bills and orders.
Beekeepers, in general, are among the finest people on Earth. This episode has shown that there are exceptions. I have long-since given up on getting my refund or queens, but Russell Apiaries and his supporters at least owe the rest of us a deep and sincere apology. I'll not hold my breath.
A cold bee smoker is bad for the soul.
Interesting. I'm no lawyer, but... In the case of refunds made within 90(?) days prior to the bankruptcy filing those refunds may be seen as "preferential payments" and the recipients could be ordered to return that money to the "trustee" for subsequent disbursement to his creditors...secured creditors getting theirs first and everyone else getting what is left over...nothing. If I got a refund I certainly would not mention it...and hope that Russell doesn't.
had you requested a refund?
If the message above was directed towards me the answer would is "no".
I hate Robert Russell Apiaries. I have sent at least 60 emails with no response. I have no patience for a dirty thief and have given up all hope of ever getting my money back.
I got the same bankruptcy notice from them in today's mail. I do not believe there was ever an intent to make things right. I kept fairly quiet during this whole circus - just hoping and believing in the good of farmers. But thinking back I was taken to the cleaners by an old horse trade before I started shaving. Should have learned my lesson then Once a horse thief always a horse thief.
Got a bankrupt notice today..can't say im shocked.
I got the bankrupt notice on Saturday. The bad thing is, as with a lot of companies that declare bankruptcy, he'll be back stealing beekeepers money in no time at all. I like how they state on the website that many of the operators pulled out of the state operator program due to false allegations on another website which caused the demise of the company. Do those "false" allegations have anything to do with stealing money?
I took the time to rewrite their notice on the russell site for them to better reflect what happened.
Sadly, after stealing beekeepers hard earned money and after restructuring the company in order to trick some hard working beekeepers into the state operator program, and investing so much of their hard earned money into that program, on top of major health issues, we were forced to close and enter bankruptcy upon the exiting of many of the operators due to some very true and real allegations made on another website. All creditors have been listed in the bankruptcy and you should receive a copy of this in the mail and forget about ever getting your money back. We pretended to take a large risk with your money in the hopes that we could benefit the industry in great ways by creating a future of specifically localized acclimated genetics, and with the fall of that program and failing health, we have lost too much to be able to survive the damages, even though we spent every penny of your money. (insert evil laugh)
There are still several excellent producers with our stocks, and we will continue to refer incoming requests to them but hope nobody will bother us. With the closing of the company, all production, retail, and wholesale activities were halted, which means stop bugging us, you are not getting your money! This website will instead be used as an educational tool for Robert Russell to personally reach the many supporters that seek his advice. These writings will of course include, a full report on how to steal money and get away with it, along with a multitude of beekeeping and gardening topics, such as management techniques, selection methods, equipment construction, pest and disease control, and evolutionary theory, as well as an interesting and very personal look at the connections between our diets and the fight against cancer.
Robert Russell is a slime bag if you ask me. takes my money and doesn't send bees or refund and then declares bankrupcy. he should be behind bars

Headlight assembly condensation solutions
First off -- I have searched for literally days to find a thread dedicated to this issue, but the only threads I could find were either CTS or the V forums so since I doubt all of us spend much time in those sections, I though I would start one here.
-- If there is already a thread on this issue in this section, Mods feel free to delete this.
Ok so back to the topic -- headlight condensation.
My thoughts after taking the headlamps off and spending many hours in the shop taking them apart, putting them back together, etc:
I realize these headlamps are a passive system, which for those who don't know mean that basically, the headlight is vented to prevent a build-up of pressure in high altitudes. (I'm sure there are other reasons, but that is generally why headlights are passive)
Unless I have missed something, I can not find these vents anywhere. I'm told they are vented through the bottom, but I cannot physically locate them or find a parts diagram. Solely based on the process of elimination, I suspect what I think is the vent, but I'm not positive (the thing on the back of the housing that points up; kind of conical in shape).
After literally sealing the life out the housings, replacing access door gaskets, even applied a bead of silicone around the edge of both access doors just in case (I realize this will make future headlight changes even more of a PITA, but I spent quite a bit of money on lifetime-warrantied bulbs so I'm hoping I don't have to replace them anytime soon.
After about a month of on an off rain, the condensation is back. Not near is bad as it was, but it's back. Yes, the headlight will burn hot enough to evaporate a small build-up of water (like the dealer always says), but that does nothing about the condensation.
So, what have you guys done to permanently get rid of the condensation?
For those who have drilled a small hole in the bottom of the housing, how has this worked? I may just seal up this stupid vent and just drill a small hole in the bottom if that actually works.
I've read that spraying triple-distilled vodka on the inside of the lens will get rid of any residue from the condensation, but have never tried this myself so who knows.
Any tips, experience, or theories to add would be greatly appreciated.
Sylica packets double taped to the access door. Never had a problem since.
Re: Healight Condensation Solution Thread
Ok, so where is the "access door"? Can you see this without removing any body panels or the bumper cover? This is interesting, as I was actually thinking about some sort of moisture absorbent being a solution. I don't want to drill any holes for obvious reasons. Thanks for the suggestion. I did call a dealer on this and was told they do not repair these things... only replace. I am OK with replacement; however, the cost is staggering! Of course, with new headlamp assemblies, you do get new lamps. Maybe i'll get lucky and someone will back into me in a parking lot, and damage both headlamps. Just kidding!

Silica packet...
Damn, now I wish I hadn't eaten mine.

Re: Healight Condensation Solution Thread

Going to do the silica packets myself, thanks for the suggestion, 1badcad. Silica absorbs 40% of it's weight in water so hopefully that will be enough to keep what little moisture there is out of there.

Re: Healight Condensation Solution Thread
Until now, I was completely unaware of just how useless the Search function on this forum is....
There are SO MANY previous posts on this (and I have callouses on my fingers from the amount of typing I've done on them) but I too can't come-up with any of them through a Search. I tried just the word "headlight" and only get 2 results (limited to this forum).
I quickly went to Google direct and got these (although didn't find some of the detailed threads I remember, might take more research)
You can remove the side doors by pulling the air box for left lamp and the fuse box for right lamp.
Re: Healight Condensation Solution Thread
After sanding and buffing the headlamp lens, they look brand new with just a hint of condensation. Taped silica packets to the inside of the back access panel on head housing which will hopefully keep away what little condensation may get in.
Why I didn't resurface the lenses first, I will never know. Lesson learned, I guess.
I will say, these lenses are pretty poor quality for a $50K+ car. Ive never sanded more coarse scratches on headlights in my life. The smallest rock or just common road debris will destroy the clarity of the lens especially if you spend lot of time on the highway.
I've ordered a set or 3M headlight film to help, but without checking part numbers, I swear these are the same lenses they put on Aveo's or Cobalts or something.
At the end of the day, if my biggest problem with the car is poor quality headlight lenses that can be easily fixed, there's nothing to complain about. Especially when the air suspension on my wife's Range Rover just went out this weekend....

Re: Healight Condensation Solution Thread
Mine still look brand new and no moisture either. No scratches or stone chips. Yes I do drive the freeways ocassionally. Maybe I lucked out. I do wax them when doing the car. Maybe that helps. Wax wouldn't help a seal problem though.
Re: Healight Condensation Solution Thread
Members posted horror stories about adverse long-term effects of headlight resurfacing about 4 years ago. I hope yours retain their new beauty.
Based on that dim recollection, a surface treatment makes a lot of sense.
Re: Healight Condensation Solution Thread
I know this is an old thread, but I was doing some research on the water in my headlights. The OP mentioned that he couldn't find the vents on the headlight housing. In the photo above there is one of the vents visible...the little "L" shaped tube in front of the cone shaped thing. There is another one down lower.
Re: Healight Condensation Solution Thread
i dont know what to call this but the outside of the headlamp is smooth but the the inside is grainy? when the lights are on....the grainy part is directly where the light beam out of (hi/low beam). its like the heat from the light is melting inside the headlight housing
lights are not actually yellow, its just my camera adjusting
Mullah are talking about the grainy part being on the glass ball part of the headlights? If you are I have the same thing going on with mine. And it looks like I have a yellow part on the top of the beam when I pull up close to a white wall...oem headlights did it and the HID's do it also...so yeah I'm with you on the burn part
*besides the just the lens?
The projector lens is fine on my. No condensation inside the unit but as you can see in the picture, when the light hits the glass/plastic, it has some texture on it. If this was on the outside of the lamps, i would have tried restoring both units, this looks to be inside the housing??! It always makes the headlights look dusty


text: Hey all... There's a meet scheduled for May 25th in Niagara Falls. It's set to be loosey goosey in terms of agenda, but... Meet at Niagara Square shopping center in Niagara Falls - drive the QEW to Fort Erie - then the Parkway to Niagara Falls - lunch at the Falls Manor (Niagara Falls) then back to the Parkway to Niagara-on-the-Lake (Tim Hortons) - from there it's everybody for themselves - touring Niagara-on-the-Lake, scenic drive to St. Catherine's along Lakeshore Road - or back to the QEW via Niagara Stone Road. The time is flexible but recommend leaving Niagara Square no later than 11:00 AM - it's twenty minutes to Fort Erie and about an hour without stopping to get back to the restaurant. Nothing off-road or challenging - just a nice scenic drive at 60KPH In the event you're interested, let me know and I'll make sure you're equipped with the info you need... hope to see you there!!

I'm sure this has been discussed but I couldn't find it in search!
I have a hive that has gone a year with no chemicals...the only possible treatment would have been pulling the queen and disrupting the cycle.
Big hive survived this ugly winter.
Got in it this weekend massive queen cells maybe the biggest I've ever seen. At least ten and one already open!
Tore open a lot of drone cells and no mites.
Does this hive qualify as VHS?
What are the qualifications?

[quote user="MattMeyerBud"][quote user="ny06"]
[quote user="MattMeyerBud"]it comes down to this dez: if 2007 never happened u would be calling for his head
The biggest thing about that playoff run was Eli playing good football, the running game being dominate, and the defensive mastermind of Spags shutting down the top 3 offenses in the league that year in crunch time.
Hes been embarressed in the playoffs twice and lost a close one....
The team can't beat anybody good for his whole tenure, he averages beating teams with winning records 1 out of every 3 tries.
You blame game planning and and concepts on the DCs, but Gilbrides his guy, he had a saw in Fewell, and he is suppose to oversee all of that.
Bottom line is that the HC oversees the whole thing and the whole thing has been underproducing. There needs to be a change
If 2007 never happened Tom Coughlin would have been fired, so that conversation is moot. </p>
Tom Coughlin deserves much of the blame, but it's time that the players accept alot of blame as well. </p>
I am tired of seeing players half *** it out there, not knowing there assignments, just giving up on more then one occasion. </p>
I have said this for years now, this team is weak minded, you hit them in the mouth, and they break down. There is no fight in them. Everyone is out for themselves. </p>
A coaching change needs to be made, and some of the dead weight on this roster needs to go. </p>[/quote]
thats the part of the argument i hate: when are the players going to get some of the blame?
Like, i don't get it - EVERY WEEK we are critiquing their play and **** they do. When have we NOT blamed the players?
Naturally players will be gone next year and naturally with a coaching change, other players will be gone as well
[/quote]We have gone thru the same end of season stuff for 2+ season's now. We got Fewell after Spags left. I have no idea what the organization is going to do, but what if they do not make any changes to the coaching staff?

Well, life has been pretty busy since my last diary entry shortly after we launched the TrustedBSD project in April! A fair amount of progress has been made -- support for capabilities in FreeBSD, extended attributes, cleanups of the authorization code, beginnings of mandatory access control, documentation, as well as several workshops and conferences, an upcoming paper at BSDCon, et al. It has been busy. :-)
Currently in Maryland, but preparing to move back up to Massachusetts again next week. Now have an apartment in South Hadley across the street from Mt Holyoke College -- all extremely pretty, and very convenient. Coffee Shop is within wireless ethernet range, which is a godsend :-). Cable modem is in and working, but the phone company was on strike, so no phone line for another week or two. Oh well, who needs phones when you have the Internet?
Back to more of the grind: committing patches to the FreeBSD tree based on TrustedBSD improvements, and preparing to commit capabilities support to 5.0-CURRENT.

Howdy everyone.
I'm an aspiring bee keeper in central MD (about 30 miles north of DC). I live with my wife on about an acre in the country. My next door neighbor (who is also my landlord) had purchased some bee keeping equipment at auction a while ago and he mentioned that he'd like to have bees around to pollinate the garden and just to watch them buzz around but he didn't care as much about doing the work. I told him I was kind of the opposite that I was interested in bee keeping as a hobby but did not have the capital to bankroll a project like that. He agreed to loan me the equipment he already bought and help with the cost of additional items if I would actually work the bees for him.
So far I'm not even sure what all I have to work with. We've got about 4 hive bodies with bases and lids but only enough complete frames to fill two of them. There was also a smoker and a mesh grate that I believe to be a queen excluder. [I hope I've got my terminology correct so far]
I'm still in the very early stages of researching this and I don't expect to have any actual bees until next spring at the earliest but I look forward to reading the many posts here and taking in some knowledge.

Have you ever tried to make gluten free pasta?
If you have, I would love your hints/tips as mine fail miserably every time and I end up resorting to using packet pasta. The packet stuff tastes good but I want to add "pasta maker" to my home-made meals resume..
I'm clearly not jamie but have you tried the recipe in tobie puttock's daily italian? It's quite good, as is the potato gnocchi (which freezes well and cooks from frozen). I'm sure he won't mind me plugging the book of one of his colleagues.

Hey Jamie! (massive fan just FYI )
I'm attempting to grow some chilli plants, they've grown pretty well but there's just one thing.. Not sure of stuff to do with them when they are done.
I'm gonna make some chilli oil, and the pulled pork goulash from your Jamie at home book and I'm also going to dry some for seeds.. But do you have any other chilli orientated ideas?
Also in the opening to Jamie at home you have a little journal type thing... Where did you getting from?.. I've bought a homemade leather on off of eBay but it's too small.
Thanks a lot, Jamie.

Re: Ask me a cooking question
Hi Jamie,
I would love to see you writing a purely barbecue-book, and a purely vegetarian one.
Barbecue-book because I think you just love it, and I�m sure there are many yummy things to put on the grill Jamie-style!
My thought behind the vegetarian book is, that I think people should eat less meat, and if they do, it should be free range or organic. That sort of meat is extremely expensive, though, and people who are used to eating meat prob. 4 or 5 times a week often have no ideas for full vegetarian meals, esp. for more than one course.
A book with recipes for the whole year would be ace.
Any chances??
Keep up the good work!

Hi there, I'm 16 and In year 12, I want to study to become a pastry chef after finishing my A levels. What is your best advice? I really find learning about different desserts, pastries, cakes and so on, exciting. I never thought I could turn something I really enjoy into a career.
Where is the best place to study?
Best kind of qualifications?
(remembering that I can't afford posh schooling)
P.S - do you know of any pastry apprenticeships, In London?
Thank you,

Alright there Jamie.
Currently on a quest to create the world's finest sandwiches - it's a project in its early stages, but you can see it here: thebutty.tumblr.com
Just wondered if you had any recommendations for an unusual sandwich that I might be able to rustle up and add to the site? As simple or as complex as you like, I'm not afraid to roll up my sleeves...

Thanks Jamie!
Wow thats so cool.
I actually made a roast leg of Lamb for todays Sunday roast. It went pretty well because I added challots to very new potatoes, white wine sea salt and fresh herbs, I put a hunk of pancetta under them to keep them from sticking to the pan. I've never pre boiled them before but it definately works. I didn't do that before, I think my problem may have been 1. lack of fat 2. lack of moisture 3. putting them in raw.
I cooked the lamb and spuds for 3 hours slowly covered and then cranked it up at 250C and turned each side every 30 min. Worked a trick it was all crispy and juicy inside.
I will try your chicken soon. Love Deb

Re: Ask me a cooking question
Hi Jamie,
I have a couple of your books and used to use your pizza base recipe a fair bit (but we have a good Italian restaurant nearby now that is not too pricey so have been cheating).
One of my sons is possibly suffering from coeliac disease and my other son seems to be having trouble when I eat wheat (booby fed) so I'm thinking he could be the same. So I need some gluten free options for them both.
Would the pizza base recipe still work if I used rice flour? I'd like to stick to your recipe if I can since I know DH and I like it.
Also, do you have any simple ideas for a treat when the other kids get given sweets and stuff at playschool. Flapjacks are out because of the oats and it really needs to be something that will store well as we don't get any warning so they need to be ready on hand (normally when one of the kids has a birthday they bring a treat for everyone).
Thanks in advance.
Oooh, just realised it is your birthday today. Have a good one

Eleanor's Biography
Cause Of Choice:Statehood for the District of Columbia and DC Vote.
Coffee Break:"I've never met a man who had the nerve to ask me to make his coffee."
Amazing Mentors:Shirley Chisholm, Dorothy Height, Fanny Lou Hamer.
Growing Up in an All-Female Household:"By the time you go and meet men, we say, 'who are these people? What, are they supposed to be competing with me? Come on."
Congresswoman Eleanor Holmes Norton, now in her twelfth term as the Congresswoman for the District of Columbia, knew from a young age she wanted to make change to end the severe segregation and discrimination she experienced growing up as third generation Washingtonian.
While earning a law degree as well as a Masters in American Studies from Yale University, Norton became deeply involved as an organizer with the Student Non-Violent Coordinating Committee (SNCC), traveling to Mississippi for the Mississippi Summer Project and witnessing severe violence on civil rights leaders including Fannie Lou Hamer that would inform the rest of her lifelong struggle for universal human and civil rights.
Following graduate school, Norton continued her work to end social inequality. She signed the Black Women's Manifesto, a classic document of the black feminist movement, and became the assistant legal director of the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU).
In 1970, Norton was appointed the head of the New York City Human Rights Commission and not only held the first comprehensive hearings on woman's rights but was also the driving force behind the landmark sex discrimination suit at Newsweek. Before the case settled, President Jimmy Carter appointed her to serve as the first woman to chair the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission.
Norton, who taught law full time before being elected, is a tenured professor of law at Georgetown University. Yale Law School has awarded her the Citation of Merit for outstanding alumni, and Yale Graduate School of Arts and Sciences has awarded her the Wilbur Cross Medal for outstanding alumni, the highest awards conferred by each on alumni. She is the recipient of more than 50 honorary degrees.
The Congresswoman is currently the ranking member of the House Subcommittee on Economic Development, Public Buildings, and Emergency Management. She serves on two committees: the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform and the Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure.


text: I just finished Bonneys books on bee keeping. It was great! I like the idea about starting with the "standard" equipment and Italian bees. However, he mentioned several other types Causcain & Mindnights. I was talking to a friend and he mentioned he had kepped Midnights in Texas. Is there a website or a good book that describes all these bees and some of there traits in detail?

If there is any value to be found in such anachronistic institutions as the papacy and the monarchy it is in their very resistance to change. In a world distinguished by increasingly rapid change, they at least set an example of stability.
That is why some people cheered inwardly when the Queen turned up late at a concert in honour of her Jubilee and put on earplugs.
She is the Queen and 86, after all, so should be able to decide how she spends her time and if, like many of us, she would prefer not to spend any of the hours remaining to her listening to Cliff Richard then her determination is to be applauded.
So it was disappointing to see her succumb to the whims of techno-faddism and broadcast her Christmas message this year in 3D.
I'm sure I wasn't the only one who felt sorry for the old dear when she allowed herself to be photographed wearing those ridiculous glasses - not just because they are unflattering but because they showed that she had succumbed to peer pressure and tried to get "with it".
At least she's not on Twitter - unlike the Pope, who seems uncomfortable with the medium. The frequency of his tweets is erratic but surely he could have come up with something on Christmas Day?
As for his tweets, they range from gnomic ("We do not possess the truth, the truth possesses us. Christ, who is the truth, takes us by the hand") to collegial ("Any suggestions on how to be more prayerful when we are so busy with the demands of work, families and the world?") to banal ("The cribs that we built in our home gave me much pleasure. We added figures every year and used moss for decoration").
Because I once bought some tickets to a concert, Ticketmaster emails me every week, digging me in the ribs with the subject line: Welcome to your weekly TicketAlert.
If Ticketmaster thinks I'm even slightly interested in seeing Haier Pulse v Kia Magic at TSB Stadium New Plymouth on February 23 then it doesn't really know me at all.
What Ticketmaster and various promoters do know is how to get the use of your money long before you'll get anything in return, through the now endemic practice of "pre-sales".
"Post-sales" were presumably abandoned after few people could be found willing to buy tickets to an event that had already taken place.
Worried that you might miss out on seeing your fave combo, you happily pony up your dollars. Usually you will pay with a credit card, adding a hefty percentage to the already costly tickets. Multiply this by a whole Vector Arena and you're talking about a large amount in someone's bank account.
Tickets to a concert in October by the popular music ensemble One Direction, for example, went on sale in April - a year and a half in advance.
It is quite possible a group such as One Direction will have ceased to exist by October and split into several groups: The Original One Direction, Harry Styles' New Direction and Niall Horan: The Voice of One Direction.
This is marketing at its best - creating a need where none existed. It's more proof that nowhere is human ingenuity more exercised than in devising ways to wring money from people.

Does anyone have any experience using vanilla extract in sugar water to combine two small hives w/queens,or introducing a new queen using this process? This might be done by spraying bees from both hives and just combining them.As far as intrducing a new queen the bees and the queen would be sprayed and released directly into the hive.
..... Thanks ...Rick

An "exceptional'' renovation of a Matua home has seen a Tauranga construction company awarded one of New Zealand's premier building awards.
Riordan Construction won the Renovation of the Year award at the Registered Master Builders PlaceMakers 2012 House of the Year national competition.
It is the first time a Tauranga company has won a supreme award in the national competition's history.
The Tauranga business also claimed the PlaceMakers Renovation over $500,000 award and the PlaceMakers Heart of the Home Kitchen award, giving the Matua home the unofficial title of the best kitchen in the country.
At Saturday night's awards in Auckland, Paul Riordan of Riordan Construction said he was "blown away'', when his name was called out as the winner, in front of more than 500 building and construction professionals.
"I was over the moon, very stoked,'' he told the Bay of Plenty Times.
"This is massive. It's the top award in New Zealand, it doesn't get any better than this. It's a real honour and I'm very proud of what we have achieved."
Over a 14-month period, Mr Riordan and his team of three transformed a 1970s clinker-brick, two-storey home in Matua into a modern, elegant four-bedroom classic with 180-degree panoramic views of Tauranga Harbour.
The work was "a complete renovation'', with everything stripped back to its bones, Mr Riordan said.
"The frame and the roof were the only things left intact. The footprint of the house didn't change much but we remodelled the whole inside space."
Judges described the renovation as "exceptional'' and were particularly impressed with the way builders incorporated the old and the new, particularly relaying the original roof tiles and cobblestones and the "exquisite restoration of fireplaces and handrails''.
"This is not only the Renovation of the Year, but a renovation for many years to come,'' judges said.
Watching the house transform from a lived-in family home into a place of beauty was special for the owners, who wished to remain anonymous.
The owner said her father built the home in the 1970s and even though she and her husband wanted to renovate, they also wanted to keep it similar, while enhancing its character
The owner's mother still lives in the home, in her own space down one end of the house.
The family worked closely with Riordan Construction and architect Fraser Cameron. "We are so delighted and blown away with the award. It's so exciting and they so deserve this award," the owner said. "The whole process was easy, nothing was ever too hard for Paul and the whole team was a joy to work with."
The family have been living in the renovated house for about a year.
Mr Riordan put his success down to the team, including wife Helen, who is the company's business manager.
"When you surround yourself with good people you get good results. I would like to thank everyone involved for helping us pull this off," he said.
Meanwhile, a cliff-top Remuera home won the House of the Year supreme award, the House of the Year over $2 million category and the GIB Living award.
Winners at the national awards were all top winners in 12 regional competitions held throughout New Zealand during July and August.

A style of goalkeeping developed post year 2000, the main components of which are diving must be done in three installments: the initial lean, fall and then stretch. Catching is never an option, when possible try and kick the ball away instead or parry it to an attacker. When the ball comes straight at you, dive and attempt to kick it away. Always go up for corners and rush back screaming at your team mates because you've fluffed your header and left the opposition with an open net.

While some other airlines have similar policies, United didn't, so it's nice to them, as they said, "align themselves" with other major airlines. The policy applies to tickets purchased on or after March 4, 2009, for travel on or after April 15, 2009.
Customers who fall into one or more of the below:
- are unable to fit into a single seat in the ticketed cabin;
- are unable to properly buckle the seatbelt using a single seatbelt extender;
- and/or are unable to put the seat's armrests down when seated
The good thing for size-challenged people is that:
Checked baggage policies apply per seat, so any checked baggage allowances will be multiplied by the number of tickets purchased.This means they could bring some luggage with them filled with extra food!
Seriously though, anyone who's sat next to a super-sized passenger and finds themselves elbowed --- or stomached --- out of some of his personal space will surely approve of this.

what we have in Brown is a reliable yard churner who made due with our shoddy line. .
And to the point of why Brown was behind Bradshaw in carries: They went with Bradshaw because he's the veteran. He's the guy they were paying 3 million bucks. I think they felt they had to play Ahmad, even though whenever Brown was in, our offense improved dramatically on a more consistent level. There was no other reason imo to play a guy who was clearly struggling, over a player who was just better.
Our running game this year is better for the reasons we've been telling you: Bradshaw was finished. Brown is just getting started.
