Venue: King Arthur's Arena
3850 S. Las Vegas Blvd.
Las Vegas, NV
Show Dates: Ongoing
Show Times: Mon, Fri 6pm; Wed -Thu & Sat - Sun 6pm & 8:30pm
Age Restriction: none
Show Length: 75 minutes
Starting at $73.12
Located at the Excalibur, the show takes place inside an arena with the seats situated around the main performance area. The seats are divided into sections with each one representing one of seven different "countries." People sitting in those sections are encouraged to cheer for their country's king, who is also a knight, throughout the show. There's also a "dark knight" section. People seated there represent the evil Mordred's minions. (Cue the maniacal laughter). They are also encouraged to cheer on their king or boo when good seems to be prevailing over evil.
Once seated, guests are served the first portion of their dinner, "dragon's blood" (hot tomato soup.) Just like what real lords and ladies would have experienced back in the Middle Ages, utensils are not provided, and patrons have to eat with their hands. Servers come around during this time to fill drink orders. Along with soda and juice, an assortment of alcoholic beverages is available for purchase during the show.
Before any knights appear Merlin and a court jester entertain the crowd. They introduce three cheering methods that guests will use later in the show. The interactive segment builds anticipation just in time for the knight's grand entrance. First a drum processional files into the arena to announce the entrance of King Arthur. Next, the other kings are announced, each blazing into the arena on a galloping horse.
The knights are dressed in costumes rich in color and design, and each of their horses is adorned with bright plumage. The costumers were designed by Michel Fresnay, who was nominated for a best-costume Emmy in 1989 for the television production of "Napoleon and Josephine."
Dinner is served as the knights enter. The feast fit for a king consists of a roasted Cornish hen, steamed vegetables and a biscuit. While the audience dines, a large round table is lowered into the center of the arena where King Arthur and the other knights also partake in the feast, raising their glasses and toasting to the joyous occasion. Dessert is served afterwards and includes a sweet pastry.
After the knights are done making merry, a friendly competition ensues to determine who should be crowned champion. Things really start to heat up when evil Mordred, the fire wizard, appears in attempt to seize King Arthur's kingdom. Swords clash and sparks fly as a battle of good against evil erupts inside the arena.
Travel back in time with a dinner and show experience fit for royalty. Tournament of Kings is a fun-filled show that the entire family can enjoy.

Wayne Law to celebrate former dean's legacy, award first James K. Robinson Scholarship Oct. 18
DETROIT (Sept. 9, 2011) – A special evening to celebrate the life and legacy of James K. Robinson will be held from 6-8 p.m. on Tuesday, Oct. 18, at the Detroit Athletic Club. The event is sponsored by the James K. Robinson Endowed Scholarship Fund Committee and Wayne State University Law School.
Robinson, '68, who passed away Aug. 6, 2010, at age 66, had served as chair of the Litigation Department at Honigman Miller, U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of Michigan, assistant attorney general for the Criminal Division of the U.S. Department of Justice, and the seventh dean of Wayne Law.
The first recipient of the James K. Robinson Scholarship will be announced at the Oct. 18 event and will receive a full ride scholarship to Wayne Law from an endowed fund created in memory of Robinson. The event will be the first of what will be an annual celebration of Robinson's life with the proceeds from the evening used to supplement the endowed scholarship fund.
"Jim was always so proud of the excellent education he received at Wayne Law," said Robinson's wife, Marietta Robinson, an attorney and former candidate for the Michigan Supreme Court. "When he set up this scholarship in 2008, he hoped to help deserving students afford what was the starting point of his exciting career. Jim would have been so honored and humbled at the respect and affection that are energizing this event."
Added fellow Wayne Law alumnus and friend I.W. Winsten, "Jim made a point at every step of his exceptional career to promote and mentor the lawyers and students with whom he worked. We established this annual event to honor Jim's memory by funding student scholarship; so that many others are able to follow his path."
Scholarship Fund Committee members and event organizers include: Marti Robinson, Thomas Cranmer of Miller Canfield; William Hochkammer and Winsten of Honigman Miller; Thomas Kienbaum of Kienbaum Opperwall Hardy and Pelton; Richard Rossman, former U.S. attorney in Detroit; and Joseph Papelian of Delphi Corp. Honorary hosts include the Michigan Supreme Court Justices and a number of other prominent members of the legal community.
Tickets to the event are $150 per person. Visit http://law.wayne.edu/alumni/robinson_event.php or contact Michael Silverstein at email@example.com or 313-577-9238 for more information on attending the event or giving in Robinson's memory.

Is this acceptable?
I've just read this report from the UK.
THE Home Office has quietly adopted a new plan to allow police across Britain routinely to hack into people's personal computers without a warrant.
Under the Brussels edict, police across the EU have been given the green light to expand the implementation of a rarely used power involving warrantless intrusive surveillance of private property. The strategy will allow French, German and other EU forces to ask British officers to hack into someone's UK computer and pass over any material gleaned.
Is this common in other parts of the world? Or am I right to be feeling very paranoid and disapproving?
I can understand the need for this in some cases, but I thought the requirement for warrants was designed to protect against mis-use. Think I need to tighten my home network...

Fantasy Football Week 1 Sunday Updates By James Morris
Here it is, Dolphins fans, your final fantasy injury report for week 1 of the NFL season. Leagues let you change line-ups up until a few minutes before kickoff, so check back each week for all the injury news and notes before setting your final lineup.
Andre Roberts – WR Cardinals: Roberts returned to a full practice of Friday and will start against the Seahawks. While Roberts is capable of filling a WR4/flex role for fantasy teams, he is someone to avoid this weekend against a tough Seahawks pass defense.
Beanie Wells – RB Cardinals: Wells was a late addition to the Cardinals injury report with a hamstring injury. Wells says he will play and I see no reason for him not to. The problem with Wells is the Seahawks defense is underrated and I would bench anyone on the Cardinals not named Larry Fitzgerald.
Stevie Johnson – WR Bills: Johnson is still dealing with a groin injury that required off-season surgery, and he was frequently listed as questionable last season with the same injury. QB Ryan Fitzpatrick said "he'll be fine", but I have him as just a WR3 against the Jets and Darrelle Revis.
Jonathan Stewart – RB Panthers: Stewart suffered an ankle sprain that is of the lateral variety, which means it is not the dreaded "high ankle sprain." All indications are that he is unlikely to play, and I would bench him even if he does make it on the field for some reason.
Trent Richardson – RB Browns: Richard is going to start against the Eagles today and should see between 15-20 carries. The Eagles defensive line should provide a few lanes for him to run through, but the Browns passing attack should allow the Eagles to key in on stopping the run. He is a mid-range flex option this week.
Arian Foster – RB Texans: Foster is still dealing with that dodgy knee that has made him miss time in the past. I hear he will play against the Dolphins, so I wouldn't have a problem sticking your #1 overall pick in the line-up. Ben Tate could still have some flex value since Foster isn't 100 percent healthy.
Owen Daniels – TE Texans: Daniels is dealing with an "illness", but he returned to a full practice on Friday and will play today. He is nothing more than a TE2, and not someone likely to be on many fantasy rosters this season.
Austin Collie – WR Colts: Collie is one concussion away from retirement, but all indications are that he will play today. Keep in mind that he still has to get medical clearance to play, but if he does he should be a WR3.
Brian Hartline – WR Dolphins: The team's top speed receiveris going to be on the field today, and is worth owning in PPR leagues. He is expected to come off the bench behind Devone Bess and Legedu Naanee, so keep him on your bench until his role increases.
Dustin Keller – TE Jets: Keller is another victim of early season hamstring problems, but coach Rex Ryan confirmed Friday that he expects Keller to play against the Bills. Keller is a mid-level TE2 and shouldn't be owned for now except in deep leagues.
Adrian Peterson – RB Vikings: The Vikings are said to be looking at giving AP 10-15 carries against the Panthers today. Granted, he has to get past warm-ups to play, but the plan is to have him in the game. If Peterson gets 10-15 carries, that will leave Toby Gerhart with 10-15 of his own, and this is shaping up to be a fantasy situation to avoid.
Denarius Moore – WR Raiders: Moore too has a bad hamstring, but he returned to limited practice on Friday and made some "dazzling" plays. I have a gut feeling that he plays, but it is better to leave him on the bench until he is getting starter targets.
Rashard Mendenhall – RB Steelers: Mendenhall had a "full" practice on Friday, but I am hearing that his possible return to the field in week 1 is nothing more than gamesmanship by the Steelers coaching staff. The Steelers own beat writers say they don't expect him to be on the field until the end of September, so I see no reason to get your hopes up.
Ryan Mathews – RB Chargers: Mathews is out this weekend, but he is aiming for a return in week 2. Those looking for a RB sleeper could do much worse than Ronnie Brown as the Chargers have little else in the way of reliable RBs.
Marshawn Lynch – RB Seahawks: I hear that Lynch is going to play today, so go ahead and stick him in your line-ups. His carries are likely to be somewhat limited, but I still have him ranked as a low-end RB1.

Hi Everyone;
As my nick only partially indicates, I'm just starting into keeping and planning to use top bar hives. Made my first set of 4 boxes over the last few weeks and am almost ready to start chasing swarms.
Have driven past those 'Honey For Sale' signs in peoples yards for way too long. It was high time to slam on the brakes and start asking questions.
Was too late to get any packages this year, but the swarm thing should hopefully work itself out.
Looking forward to getting to know people.

Samsung Gaining, Apple Waiting, QCOM Benefits in Smartphones, Says Jefferies
Jefferies & Co.'s Peter Misek today offers up several data points from surveys of the smartphone market in the current quarter, suggesting Apple (AAPL) is waiting on the iPhone 6, and Samsung Electronics (005930KS) is "building its lead."
The survey, composed of half-hour phone conversations with dozens of carriers and retailers, consisted 55% of responses from the U.S., 15% from the U.K., 15% from France, and 15% from Germany.
Overall, Misek finds "optimism" about volume of smartphone sales, but also expectations for sharply declining prices:
North American and European smartphone markets have matured. Optimism for volumes continued to increase for the second consecutive quarter. 68% of survey participants were optimistic in Feb, 48% in May, and 40% in August, but our December survey saw optimism bounce back to 58% and March continued to see strength with 65%. We believe the optimism surrounding flagship phone launches such as the Galaxy S5 contributed to the improved smartphone volume outlook rather than current sell-through. Survey participants' optimism on pricing (i.e. belief that that smartphone pricing will come down) dropped sharply again to 18%. We believe the deteriorating pricing optimism is also due to the focus around upcoming flagship models. We believe pricing optimism is likely to increase slowly in the coming quarters as we expect white-box devices begin to infiltrate developed markets.
Regarding Apple, Misek, who has a Buy rating on the shares, and a $625 price target, cut his estimate for iPhone sales this quarter, citing his "checks" of the supply chain:
Our checks indicate that CQ1 builds have been cut from 34M to 31M. We trim our shipment estimate from 37.8M to 35.8M (about 5% below St). CQ2 builds remain stable at around 27M and we maintain our CQ2 shipment estimate of 33M.
Misek advises investors look to a fall iPhone debut as the important thing for Apple:
We continue to think that CQ1 and CQ2 will be choppy ahead of a strong iPhone 6 product cycle ("CQ2 a Transition Quarter Ahead of Strong iPhone 6 Product Cycle"). We are not overly concerned about recent reports about yield issues at TSMC. The ramp at TSMC is happening early than in prior years and we think that the most likely scenario is still that Apple's launches the iPhone 6 in August.
Regarding Samsung, the company's wares received very positive feedback in the survey as it heads toward the release of its new Galaxy S5 next month:
Samsung saw a sharp increase again after rebounding from 38% in our August survey to 55% in our December survey. 65% of survey participants in our March survey see Samsung models as the best-selling smartphone. No survey participant believed any Motorola or Blackberry device was a best- selling smartphone. HTC remained at 3% this quarter. While we believe its flagship products are well-received, the lack of scale will continue to significantly challenge the company.
BlackBerry (BBRY), HTC (2498TW), and Google's (GOOG) Motorola unit — soon to be Lenovo's (0992HK) Motorola unit — are still struggling:
No survey participant believed any Motorola or Blackberry device was a best- selling smartphone. HTC remained at 3% this quarter. While we believe its flagship products are well-received, the lack of scale will continue to significantly challenge the company.
Misek also has some positive thoughts about chip supplier Qualcomm (QCOM), which he rates a Buy. He raises his price target to $95 from $86, after raising estimates. He now models revenue in the fiscal year ending September of $27.29 billion, and EPS of $5.20, up from a prior estimate of $27.28 billion and $5.19.

I went searching for local lemongrass oil, and found that 'Sprouts', the local 'farmers market' type produce store has essential oils for aromatherapy, but when I told them I wanted to use it for an appetite stimulant for bees they stepped back and said they wouldn't recommend it, that it was strictly for aroma stimulation. Do you think they are just covering their hind sides or do you think that maybe there are additives that may be harmful to the bees?
Can't seem to find many sources listed on the internet on my side of town, let alone in town at all.

Hide lines
Not to worry. We arrived Monday morning after another uneventful overnight sail. We did actually get some sailing done this time which was appreciated, and at 1.30am or so on my graveyard shift watch I witnessed an awesome moonset (if there is such a thing), which I can't recall ever seeing before (and hey, I've done a few all-nighters!). It was blood red and fell just like a western hemisphere sunset, except on a pitch black background. Combine that with calm seas, no course changes or obstacles, and a fiery shooting star every couple of minutes and you have the perfect watch.
I awoke at 8 or so and found our boat surrounded by desolate islands and chugging through in the middle of a washing machine. Sounds dramatic but it wasn't. The straits between Komodo and Rinca Islands are known by sailors the world over for having some of the most notorious currents, so one minute we were travelling over glass at 8.5 knots (very fast) and seemingly not moving, then in the middle of rippling, whirling, turgid seas the next, bucking and bronking and going only 3.5 knots. Action.
We managed to stay roughly on course and eventually get the anchor down before lunchtime. Then some enterprising locals came and spruiked a ride to shore and that's when the American problems began. To cut a long story short we went to see the Dragons at 3pm or so and there was none around, even after a 4km return walk, which made the Americans pretty hot, bothered and disappointed. Then there was a misunderstanding with the negotiated price of the boat - we thought we agreed 150,000 rupiah to collect and return 4 yacht's worth of passengers, but the locals were expecting an exorbitant 150,000 for each yacht - and their English wasn't so good after the job was done. We ended up paying 200,000 which settled it, but everyone was grumpy that night.
So this morning I got my chores done early and got them to drop me to shore so I could try the dragons again. Lo and behold I had a much better day. I joined a group of young Frenchies and saw four of the legendary dragons near shore and one out in the wild, which made me feel much better about the insurance coverage included with every entrance ticket. That and the story of the European that recently went missing - they found his mangled spectacles and chewed up camera a month or two later. In the end I didn't try to ride one.
The monsoon forest walk was interesting on this otherwise barren hunk of rock island. It's a bizarre and (currently) dry jungle full of stately trees, massive palms, delicate pink orchids, and a rich variety of wildlife (including deer, wild boar, water buffalo, eagles, brush turkeys, civets, and of course the famous reptiles). Ground cover is very light and the terrain is flat which makes it easy to move around. Very similar but different to the top end scrub witnessed just last month.
So what about the dragons I hear you say... These guys are pretty funky, especially when they move about, which unfortunately due to the heat is not very often. It is estimated that there are about 2,500 to 3,000 in the wild in the Komodo/Rinca National Park and it is the only place on Earth that this particular species now inhabits. They live to the ripe old age of 50 years, sometimes measure up to 3 metres in length, can weigh up to 100 kilos if a fully grown male, and can eat up to 40 kg in one feed. Here's a couple of 25-30 year olds in various states of motion, and another with a GPS kit on so researchers can track range and movements.
Komodos can climb, swim and run up to 15km per hour, but it is not the act of biting which is the major concern. When they bite they transmit a nasty bacteria which infects the wound which in turn ends up killing the carrier within a few hours. So guess who ended up standing right next to one just to get a photo? That's right, the moron in the VB cap.
Thank goodness they're so lethargic they're not likely to move more than a few metres per hour in the middle of the day. There is a 1 mb video in the photo gallery of one lumbering about so check it out. I had to share a Bintang with it to get him moving.
So what do I think of the Komodo experience? It is a bit of a tourist trap and the locals have made a sport of extracting as much cash from travellers as possible with persistent and hard selling. To be expected but annoying. There has been a steady decline in Komodos since feeding was abolished back in 1994, I assume because the poor guys have to range a lot further to find sustenance. Apparently the neighbouring island of Rinca (pron. Rincha) has more accessible and larger groups of Komodos, plus monkeys, which makes it a better option these days.
Still, just half an hour ago at dusk we saw a bunch of wild boars feeding on the beach next to us, so some of that David Attenborough stuff is still retained here once the tour boats and locals head home. And I did have a good, mellow day today which probably illustrates the importance of the company you keep.

Ode to a beard
Every day, for fifteen long years,
I held a blade to my throat,
And I've shaved my face,
To within an inch of my life,
Thank goodness I'm now on this boat.
Because it's one holiday month
since I've picked up a razor,
And the facial hair has kept on growing.
Across cheek and jowl, lip and chin,
everywhere I'm no longer mowing.
I must admit,
it's been quite and affair.
Now it's firmly taken hold.
I'm getting used to the new sensation,
And the growth doesn't seem to slow.
So now I have a bushy moustache,
and an even bushier beard.
It's a little itchy,
and just a little scratchy,
And it feels pretty weird.
But ladies love it, I look more manly,
and I can re-sit every meal.
All definite benefits,
of this hairy appendage,
I nurture with increasing zeal.
But I digress,
it's been only a month,
that I've had to deal with it for.
Another month and I might go nuts,
So I'll shave it off in Singapore.

Comments about Yamaha nx-p100_w:
I recived this as a gift. I wasnt expecting it and was very happy with it. Plays good clear music and a pretty good range from the bluetooth device. Feels rugged and sturdy. Love the fact I can charge my phone from it! Which makes it better than the bose that sells for the same price! Only thing I feel is this item could use a little bit more bass. It still provides plenty for most users but being a music nut I feel its lacking some. I think the bose has the more bass but I would still go for the yamaha for the phone charging fact. Needless to say im very happy with it and wouldnt trade it. Def good just for about anywhere.

Comments about Yamaha nx-p100_w:
This unit has a high quality microphone and an amazing speaker. It plays the music I have on my Smartphone brilliantly. It has a range of about 30' which is great for my uses.
Battery backup for my phone is a great feature.
I use this in my office for teleconferencing and people are amazed at how clear the voices are, both incoming and outgoing.
This is a solid device and as soon as you try it you will feel the quality that is built in. It is not too heavy but has some 'real' speakers inside.

Potentional first time GSD owner with ?s - Advice GREATLY appreciated!
Hi everyone,
I am wondering if getting a GSD would be a good idea at this stage in my life and would love to get advice from you all.
I am a single 25 yr old woman, currently living in a large house with a moderate sized yard with pool in a suburban neighborhood in a beach city in southern California (very temperate climate). I am mainly interested in getting a GSD for companionship, but also for protection since I live alone. At first I was interested in getting a dog specifically trained for protection but was put off by the price (it seems these dogs cost about 25k? Please correct me if I am wrong) and also the potential liability. I realized that I probably would be fine with a GSD who would at the minimum bark at intruders or threatening strangers.
I've never owned a dog before (only a cat, though I have no pets currently). I currently work from home and am rarely out of the house for more than 4-5 hours at a time. I also love being active and am looking forward to having a companion to take with me for jogging, walking, and hiking. How much daily exercise does a GSD need on average? Would I be better off getting a puppy or an older dog, considering that protectiveness is a trait that I definitely want? I want a dog who is not too friendly with strangers; I'd prefer that he/she be aloof and protective of me. Is this a reasonable expectation? How would I go about ensuring that the GSD I get has this type of personality? I am a very petite woman, so I assume I will also need to go through lots of training with the dog so that I am confident in handling him/her.
I also was wondering if it would be okay for me to leave the dog outside in my backyard while I am gone during the day, or if it'd be better to keep him/her confined. I'd also be fine giving him/her free reign of the house if that would be preferable. I also had a question about traveling. If I were to go abroad for a couple of weeks would that be ok, and if so what would be the best options for the dog's care while I am gone?
Yes, a GSD would work for you. No, you don't need one trained in personal protection and, yes, those dogs are hideously expensive with a huge liability. Exercise totally depends on the type of dog you get. Some are couch potatoes, some can never get enough, and there's a lot in between.
I would highly recommend you get an adult dog as this is your first dog. Preferably one that's well trained before you get it. A retired dog from a breeder would be perfect.
Leaving a dog outside unattended can be a very bad thing. Not only do you have to worry about freaks either hurting him or coming in your yard and getting bitten, but your dog could escape, be stolen, or bark all day annoying your neighbors. Keep the dog in the house whenever you can't watch him.
Yes, your lifestyle sounds like a good fit. I work from home too, or if I have to go to the office (it's a tow yard, not a corporate office), my dog comes with me. Leaving a dog alone for 4-5 hours should be fine, they sleep.
I've raised two puppies as an adult, a GSD mix and my current 100% GSD. Puppies are very challenging and take a lot of energy, although neither of my pups destroyed the house. The positive side to that is that we really trust each other, if I wanted to chew a raw bone with my dog, she would let me share it with her. The positive about finding a good dog from a GSD rescue is hopefully it will be basically trained and it's temperament will already to developed, so you'll know what you'll be getting.
As far as keeping your dog outside when you are gone, I'd say no. Just for the barking factor alone, but people can be cruel or stupid around dogs, so for the dog's safety, no.
Exercise depends on the dog, they will acclimate to your lifestyle. Generally during the work week, my dog gets a 20-25 minute walk early a.m. with a few minutes of ball chasing in a tennis court. Late morning my daughter walks the dog around the neighborhood for 30 minutes, after dinner we tend to get more running in and go out for about 45-60 minutes.(We have no yard).Weekends are more active of course.
As far as protection goes, we never our trained our dog to be protective but she has a definite natural ability for it. She seems to sense who to keep an eye on. GSD are always "on call", very alert. Both dogs scan up and down our sidewalk as we leave the house, and peer down every alley way we pass. One night while it was raining hard on one of our walks, Molly sensed that there were people hiding in the bushes of a commercial building about 30' away from us.
Thanks for your responses! Elaine, is there a list of breeders somewhere that I might contact about getting a retired dog? I actually visited a GSD rescue event today and fell in love with a female who'd been used for breeding.
I have a few more questions, though. I am leaning slightly towards getting a male because I did want a GSD that serves as a good warning to unscrupulous strangers (though this is, of course, not my primary reason for getting a dog). The rescue volunteers kept saying that this or that male would be "too big" for me to handle as a first time owner; is the general consensus that first time owners should only have smaller a GSD?
I was also wondering how much training I will need to do with the dog if I get it from a rescue - they say the dogs are "basically" trained.
Also, if I do go the route of getting a dog from the rescue, how much say will I have in having certain specifications met, such as color, certain temperament attributes (such as more aloof with strangers, not too hyper, etc)? Is it ok for me to ask for things like that?
Thanks again for all the advice.
Your options will be limited when getting a rescue, but they shouldn't have a problem taking questions.
I'd def. suggest an older dog, and females are just as capable as males but tend to be easier to handle. You want a protective dog, but when a 120 lbs boy pulls toward someone on your jog, you might not be able to hold him back, and you're responsible for his/her actions.
As for training, they'll likely come knowing the basics, and will just need to learn your rules and manners, though its always possible they're missing something significant. Just take care of your GSD and she'll take care of you.

MattLink, Thanks for the tips. At 120 lbs, the dog would be several pounds heavier than me. :P
What are some other options for getting an older GSD besides rescues? I was under the impression that breeders only sell puppies, and I've been advised to not get a puppy.
Hehe, love this question.
Start off with a baby shep! Personally, males are more... "wild" then females, BUT females are more hyper! But to be honest the males are a little more intelligent, females are just as smart but my boy learned to sit in a matter of minutes. My female took an hour or so. But that is your choice hun!
Now, HONESTLY I dont really live in a huge house. I have a reaaaally big backyard but my house is a normal sized home. Which is perfectly fine with my babies, shadow and apollo.
Leaving your puppy outside can be a little hectic. I mean, they dig.. a LOT. My pups tend to eat rocks so Im always on the look out. As long as its not raining, dont leave your pup out. They can get sick.
Pups are a lot of work! They are crazy, wild, hyper, funny, teething gets really bad at 3 months! Thats when it starts lol. Make sure you walk them DAILY! seriously cause if you dont im **** sure that they will run everywhere.
You dont need a protection dog. Show your dog affection and such and they will love you a lot.
My female pup shadow still gets jealous when someone tries to hug me ahaha.
So dont worry about getting a dang expensive dog lol!
KEEP ME UPDATED HUN :)!! goodluck! If you need any tips please message me! Im free!
I do suggest you take whatever dog you get to dog school so you can learn how to handle it appropriately. It's not hard to learn how to handle the dog well enough to be able to take it jogging without incident.
From a rescue, you can ask for whatever sort of dog you think you are interested in and be sure to up front on your dog background and lifestyle so you can get matched with the correct dog.
If you want a retired breeder, that is also a very good option for you. Put it out there that you are interested in one and it shouldn't be that hard to find one. Many breeders will either give you the dog for free or for a very small charge so long as you can provide a good home.
I don't ever recommend a first dog owner to get a puppy as they are so much work. Getting an adult first leaves out all that puppy stuff and allows you to learn about the breed and about how to live with a dog. You would be way more ready for a puppy for a second dog.
120 pounds! Holy cripes! My two boys are both in the 80-ish pound range.
I am also a single woman. As you can see from my signature, I have two, both males. Your body size doesn't have much to do with your ability to control the dog so long as you train him/her. Get whichever sex you fall in love with, and then get into training.
If you are going to leave your dog outside, the yard must be extremely secure and you can't be worried about the yard's aesthetics. Also, the dog needs to be spayed/neutered.
Yes, I've definitely decided to not get a puppy, as Elaine and others suggested. So, does 4-5 years old sound good, or a bit younger? Elaine, what's a good way to find reputable breeders?
Emoore, my fence is over 6 ft tall and all three of my adjacent neighbors keep their dogs in their yards, but I also have no problem giving my GSD free run of the house. I don't know if GSDs like to wander around but there would be plenty of space for him/her to do that, even indoors.
The GSD rescue requires a home visit. I'm slightly concerned bc I just inherited this house from my father, who did not keep it up at all, so right now there's not a lot of furniture and a couple of the rooms I am using purely for storage bc there is still a ton of clutter I need to organize/throw away. It's not really set up right now like a true house and looks a bit transitional. I hope they won't disqualify me for that. My yard is well maintained and nice, though the application asked if my pool is fenced, which it isn't. I figure this won't be an issue with an older dog, right?
Thanks again, everyone, for taking the time and trouble to respond. I really appreciate it!

Place a cable pulley at the lowest position with a cuff attachment. Position the cuff just above the ankle on left foot and stand so that right leg is closest to the machine. Balance on the right leg (if necessary hold on to the machine for support) keeping the right knee slightly bent and the back straight; lift the left leg directly to the left (allowing the cable to pass in front of body.) Lift the leg to a comfortable height (caution: lifting too high could cause a hip impingement and pain) before slowly lowering the left leg to the initial starting position. Perform all repetitions on the left leg before switching legs.

Movie Review: The Dark Knight Rises
The Dark Knight Rises tops off writer-director Christopher Nolan's epic Batman trilogy and, trust us, it's not with a whimper but with a highly satisfying and hugely entertaining bang.
Director: Christopher Nolan
MPAA Rating: PG-13
Studio: Legendary Pictures, Syncopy Films, DC Comics
The Dark Knight Rises tops off writer-director Christopher Nolan's epic Batman trilogy and, trust us, it's not with a whimper but with a highly satisfying and hugely entertaining bang. Majestic, ambitious, gargantuan and heartbreaking, with over an hour of its 160-minute running time filmed in showstopping IMAX, the movie gives us a disgraced, broken and grieving Bruce Wayne (Christian Bale) living in Howard Hughes-like seclusion in his stately but ghostly manse. Likewise battered and on the ropes, Commissioner Gordon (Gary Oldman in his peak Batman performance) is haunted by his suppressed knowledge about the death of dual-faced district attorney Harvey Dent.
While Gotham City's empty suit of a mayor (Nestor Carbonell) touts that the city's cleaned up its act, throwaway kids and adults live under bridges. The rich grow greedier and more powerful. Prisons burst at the seams but high- and lowborn criminals still run rampant. Angry unrest roils just under the surface. Sound familiar?
With a roar, along comes a merciless horde led by hulking Bane (Tom Hardy, charisma and comprehensibility hampered by a face-clinging mask), on a mission to unleash the people's liberation in the form of a series of acts of terror, including the collapse of Heinz football field during a game and an aerial hostage-taking and hijacking that must rank as the most jaw-dropping, beautifully choreographed action sequences in recent memory. With Wayne's manservant Alfred (Michael Caine, nakedly emotional and flat-out superb) using tough love to try to provoke his beloved boss into pulling himself out of his misery, Anne Hathaway as a wily Selina Kyle/Catwoman and Joseph Gordon-Levitt right up there with the best of them as a crusading cop who reveals an emotional link with the Batman, our hero finally steps back up to fulfill his destiny.
From the start, part of the genius of co-screenwriters Christopher Nolan and brother Jonathan's vision for their Batman films has been to drain them of camp, make them character-based, give them thematic heft and set them in a gritty, recognizable world. This time, Nolan sets the movie in a world gone mad, with references to the Occupy Movement that give the movie added grit and urgency.
The bold, visionary film jolts us with its sense of scope, scale and social outrage that sometimes suggests novels by Charles Dickens and Victor Hugo. Naturally, everything in The Dark Knight Rises looks and sounds absolutely state of the art, but what sends it soaring is its irresistible emotional pull and resonance, especially when Bale, Caine, Gordon-Levitt and Oldman are involved. The somber but hopeful finale doesn't just end the series; as a moviegoing experience, it crushes. It's not only a great summer movie, it's the superhero movie, completely and irrevocably redefined.

Ordered queens from a different supplier and never thought to ask how they would be delivered. Instead of the wood cages I'm used to, they came in a battery box where the attendants service the queens through the cages -- no attendants in the cages. This is the first time I've dealt with these. They were overnighted yesterday (Wed) and arrived today.
I plan to pull the old queens tomorrow (Friday) afternoon and install these plastic cages on Saturday afternoon.
The supplier seemed iffy about leaving them in the box for two days and said normally old queens are pulled in advance of shipping. When I asked about the potential of them being killed in shipment and all hives being queenless, she said it was normal to cage all the old queens in case of such an event so they could be released again if that happened. Sounds like a lot of unnecessary work to me.
Anything I need to do with them until Saturday?
Can you just lay these cages in the inner cover hole over the frames or do they need to be suspended between frames candy end up?
With wooden cages, I normally leave both corks in for a day or two for more "adjustment" time before exposing the candy end. I don't think that's an option (or even necessary) with these plastic cages.

The World's Fastest Charging Station
Superchargers are connectors that charge your Tesla vehicle in minutes instead of hours. Stations are strategically placed to minimize stops during long distance travel and are conveniently located near restaurants, shopping centers, and WiFi hot spots. Each station contains multiple Superchargers to help you get back on the road quickly.
Supercharger Stations are shown on your vehicle's 17" touchscreen
Grab a cup of coffee or a bite to eat while your vehicle charges
Drive On
Check the Tesla app to see when your vehicle is charged
- Open now
- Opening soon
The map above is a representation of the corridors we plan to enable and the timing thereof. Exact locations and timing may vary.
How it Works
Tesla vehicles use an onboard charger to convert alternating current (AC) from a wall charger to direct current (DC) that's stored in the battery. Superchargers consist of multiple chargers working in parallel to deliver up to 120 kW of power directly to the battery. As the battery nears to a full charge, the vehicle's onboard computer gradually reduces the current to the optimum level for topping off cells.
Charging each cell is like filling a glass of water without spilling. As the glass fills up, you reduce the flow to catch every last drop. In battery terms, this means reducing current in order to balance cell voltage, ultimately tapering down to a trickle as it nears full. The resulting charge profile is why we recommend charging to 80%, which is typically enough to reach a neighboring Supercharger Station.
Using a Supercharger is easy. You simply pull up, plug in, and in approximately 30 minutes you have enough range to get to your destination or the next station. All new Model S and Model X come standard with Supercharger technology.
Engineered for Performance
Supercharging takes advantage of Tesla's unique battery architecture. Each battery's connections, cell chemistry, and cooling system are engineered to move significant power out of the battery pack during hard accelerations and uphill driving.
Driving (discharging) and charging use the same systems to move energy out of and into the battery. Supercharging utilizes the car's discharge capacity to flow a similar amount of power back into the battery pack through dedicated high voltage cables. The car's onboard computer constantly monitors the battery during both driving and charging to ensure that it maintains peak performance.
Tesla is the only EV manufacturer capable of charging vehicles at up to 120 kW, which equates to about 270 kilometers of range in as little as 30 minutes. There are many factors that affect the actual charge rate, including ambient temperature, utility grid restrictions and charging traffic, amongst others. We are constantly incorporating owner feedback into our maintenance and research and development efforts. Should you encounter an issue, please call us.
Expansion Plans
We strategically place Superchargers along well-traveled highways and in congested city centers. In addition to Superchargers, we have a growing network of Destination Charging Partners with dedicated Tesla Wall Connectors at their properties. These are primarily destinations where you'd stay for several hours at a time, such as ski resorts, restaurants, hotels and others, so that you return to your car with ample range for your return trip.
Opening New Stations
Our Supercharger team is constantly at work around the globe constructing new sites. The exact timing of each Supercharger station opening is difficult to predict due to the nature of construction projects. Permits, inspections, weather delays and other circumstances beyond our control all influence the actual opening date. Consequently, stations will occasionally open before or after the date projected in our maps. If you have a question or comment, please email us.

I did something blasphemous and washed my beeks suit this am....figured that there might have been enough stingers and associated attack juices to help provoke the girls a bit.
So I hang my damp suit with the veil zipped shut from covered porch to air dry.
Noticed a few bees checking it out but no headbutts or overly hostile/irritated bees.
I go out to check to see if it was dry a moment ago and lo and behold there are 6-8 bees inside the veil......flying around etc....must have flown up an arm/leg to get in there......I carefully unzipped the veil a bit in the hopes they will abscond.
Anyone else ever seen this?
Do you think there's still enough stinger juice in/on the suit after a gentle cycle in the washing machine to attract them or are they simply inspecting the suit to find new ways of defeating it in the hopes of spending some up close and personal time inside the veil with me

I FINALLY was able to snag one of these off of evilbay! Should be here in the next couple of weeks. I am going to make every effort to actually mount the entire thing into my new FP gauntlets which should also be here soon!

It is amazing the amount of weird and obscure stuff one can find on ebay. Nice pick up Lou, look forward to seeing it in the new guants.
haha yea ive been lookin for one since it was discovered. I lost a couple of auctions but finaly managed to win one. This one has some extra writing on it but eh, hopefully its only on the one side. Im really hoping the gauntlet can be altered enough on the inside to fit it without ruining the gauntlet or the minilight.
Well you used to have molding stuff remember lol
congrats, Lou!
That Handylight is a bit bigger than the Minilight. It should still fit into the gauntlet but keep us updated. If you need to modify the light I have one and have some ideas about how to get it to fit.
The switch is the same size as the minilight though. The only difference is the text "EVER READY" on the minilight switch.
Son-of-a...your right. I should have got the 6051, not the 6050 I didnt realize there was one that was in between the larger sqaure one and the minilight. I thought they just changed the name from handylight to mini light during the years....well, i may just dismantle it and put the parts into the gauntlet. If i can get that to work, im happy.
Just had a good gawp at the pic above and it DOES look to be fatter proportions than the mini light ...BOAC is old airline livery ...it may have been handed to first class passengers or something like that ...
If you want my take on things you have two ways to proceed here ... 1st ... it may actually be worth a few bucks to AIRLINE collectors so you may want to bear that in mind before doing something irrecoverable ...2nd ... if it is the same kind of construction as the mini light then the front white cowl will pull off separately to give access to the bulb ...this will reduce the width be quite a few MM so it still may fit .
Good luck with whatever you decide anyhow
I should have got hold of a fresh one before I made the find public really then I could have made sure all the main armourers had a cast of the switch but I was convinced I had easy access to my two original ones in my parts boxes ...finding those is still ongoing !
Ah well
No worries man, i personally wouldnt want a cast anyway, i wanted the found part to put into the gauntlet as we believe they did in the film. Im sure even if the entire thing couldnt fit, the guts would and if that switch will turn on the light, im happy. i want to use my pushbutton switches to make my rangefinder go up and down, so thats why i wanted to have that lil button actually control the light. I just figured it would be cool to have the found part in there. it may be a lil off, but still kinda cool anyways.
Ah thats what BOAC is! lol
Ok so as i understand it, the 6051 is the correct everyready light. it is the "minilight". What i have is the 6050 handy light, which is a tad bit larger. However, i got my FP gauntlet kit in, and this light fits perfect in it. The only reason i cant set it completely in the gauntlet is the switch. which i would remove, mount the handylight and then put the switch back on from the outside of the gauntlet.
I tried to take pics to show how it fits but it was a little difficult. Hopefully you can see what i mean in the pics.
In this pic, the part of the gaunt you see protruding out right up against the front of the handylight button, is what would be cut out for the button hole. If the button itself was removed, the light would fit just about near perfect into this space.
Here you can see the width of the section the light fits in. Again if the button was removed, it would be able to sit into the space there. The button would be reattached from the outside of the gauntlet.
Its hard to see here as im holding the light above where it would fit into...but it really looks to be an almost perfect fit to me.
Now of course i need to actually give it a shot to see how well it can set into the gauntlet. I will likely need to sharpen up the corners in the gauntlet to get it to fit. But i think this one will be able to work, even if it isnt the correct version. However i am still going to try and get the 6051!

I want more pics of the guants! Cant wait to get mine
- - - Updated - - -
And you know I think theres one of these lights (the correct ones) at my grandparents in the basement...
hehe.. i actually dont have the whipcord housing yet..he's sending that with the Jetpack soon. I will post a thread when i get back from vaction of a WIP of assembling and painting the new FP ESB gauntlets....i will say this though.....they are beyond a shadow of a doubt, the most accurate representation of these gauntlets i have ever seen. Absolutely awesome.
It looks good inside the gauntlet!
Here are my thoughts on the Ever Ready Minilight mount inside the right gauntlet: the original gauntlets shows that the light bulb and the button area were cut out.
And here is an image that shows the difference between a 'clean' and a cut out right gauntlet:
And last but not least, an image that shows the approximated fit of the Ever Ready Minilight inside the right gauntlet:
While the whole body seems to fit well inside the gauntlet, the front part with the light bulb looks like it was cut out and positioned inverted inside the gauntlet (they possibly used other material and not the cut out part), this way the light bulb sit inside the cut out area.
VACATION?!?!?! Heck yeh! Have fun, Im going to be working my butt off soon between commissions and getting the Mythos done for DC
I THINK if the light was set slightly back it would have that look. it does look like the rectangle was cut out and something with the small bulb hole drilled through glued into that space on the originals you pictured there.
If i wasnt going on vacation id be starting the build! But i dont want to start and then have to be away from it for a week lol.
When i get back im going to start on the gaunts as soon as possible, and getting the light to fit. I think it will fit.
haha yea Caribbean cruise...i'll be back the 29th. Im leaving tomorrow
This is awesome Lou. I'm interested to see how it all looks installed with the button area cut out. And have a nice vacation.
Just checked back to this thread ... seems like everyones covered all I was going to say ! :P.....In my often dodgy opinion the original gauntlets were vac and propies do things as fast as possible and usually the east way due to time so I would expect that for ESB the vac gauntlet was possibly sized for the light which was already sourced and then had the front trimmed out where the light shines out of but ALSO the section where the switch protrudes allowing enough room to operate it ...bit of velcro on the torch and job done !
BTW .. after seeing the BOAC handy light in your hand Im convinced it is identical in every way but name too the minilight size and everything
(see if it makes a good pretend phaser when no-ones looking and that'll clinch it ! :P )
Last edited by mekroid; May 28, 2013 at 7:27 PM.
it surely is VERY close in size. I'm gonna try and start working on the right gaunt this weekend..we'll see hoe this fits.
I do agree if these gaunts were vac'ed that this light would fit perfect!
I did a fair amount of grinding with a dremel to make room for my mini-light. I even had to run the mini-light on a belt sander to thin it out even more.
Once I had a good fitting, I super glued the white part / front end to the gauntlet. Now the red / back end slips on and off to replace the batteries. I did add two very small screws with pre-drilled holes through the red end into the white front part. The added screws holds everything together and tight.
Very cool. Nice work. What did the lite run you? Anybody know is any one is casting the button?
Thanks Rafal Fett
heh yea..it does make a good phaser! :P
Yea i agree...but i wasnt 100% sure... and just saw this post right after i finally nabbed a 6051.
So....i now have the Ever ready/BOAC one on e-bay. Here is my sale thread here if anyone wants it. For any TDH members, i will end the auction.
Spy 007..they now go for between $50-$70 bucks on e-bay...probably because now all the Fettheads want them lol

Going back to when gold or silver is used for every transaction is a fantasy that some people have. You need paper money because there just isn't enough gold and silver in existance to be used for everyday transactions.
Just look at how much money is in circulation, you could never exchange it all for gold and silver. Paper money is a must have.

love the way the gas tube is designed on #2 gives the ak so much more attitude!
both of em look great guys .
i really like the the second one . i'm wanting to build one of my amd's like that but with a fixed stock though ...
hey WILSON how does it handle ???

blitz2311, I bought the stock assembly from an AR15 web forum member for $375. I ordered a stock set from Andrei Kouznetsov for about $175 just before the government shut down his import sales from Russia. It was just my luck that I never received it. I talked to this guy several times through e-mail, and I feel he is a good guy. I enjoyed our conversation. I ordered a complete front end part # AK-104B for about $350, an AK-046S carrier for $75, an AK-058BWS bolt for about $70, I think an AK-339 recoil spring assembly for $32, I used a virgin top cover from K-Var for about $20, A trigger guard from a board member from another forum, but I forgot what I paid for it, a gas tube and safety lever from K-Var and I cannot recall the cost. Randy Kline put the kit together for about $600. That comes to about $1550 if I add the K-Var shipping and other small parts I left out. Of course the tax stamp was $200, and it took a little over two years to gather the parts, acquire the tax stamp, and the build time. Was it worth it? You bet it was!
Thanks for the comments and complements guys.
Bradrock, did you find a canvas drop case?
Well jonmorry333, it shoots and handles like Uh like an AK. Randy did a fantastic job on the build. The finish is Dura-Coat over park.
Guys, I think Im going back in time. I plan on having a custom rifle built like the one at this link . I ordered the stock for it last Monday.
well i didn't ask how it shoots but just wanted to know how it handles being shorter and all.... like any weight difference is it more flickable ??? uh uh
My new addition!

Maybe the signing of Bennett might be not as bad as we think. I obviously want Bennett back (along with his brother), but I also think that Robinson can have a higher contribution for the team; now that he has already learned the playbook.

The CNC is great, just not kind to your wallet. We will need to sell a lot of these
hey KB
have you tried using that thing on any sassafrass yet. I know when we are cutting them your chain saw will throw sparks and that is just the wood no metal or rocks. we used to cut a lot of sassafrass for barn poles and teir poles.
Not yet, we had to glue boards to get a deep size. I'll post when we use it. Wonder what caused the sparks. Our understanding is that this is a "soft" hardwood. What do you think about the wood as far as it's use for bee boxes?
2 questions-
What kind of equipment are you using?
Ball park on what you would charge per box? $50, $100, $200????
Please check out the new kingfisherapiaries.com!
Like us on Facebook
Would welcome comments on the price range.
sassafras is a very hard and very brittle not sure how it will work for bee boxes. If you cut it yourself be very care full about 2 years ago I cut a sassafras about 18 inches around about half way thru it split in half and started to fall over top of the split which left the log about 12 feet in the air and then it immediately fell of the side just missing me as I tried to get away happened very quickly
For those of you who are developing these projects, please keep us posted. Especially if you consider producing signs... I am interested! Both in signs, and a hive body for decorative advertising purposes.
"If all you have is a hammer, the whole world is a nail." - A.H. Maslow
Once we are ready to go into production, I will most certainly post in the for sale section.
We'll produce signs, boxes and probably a shelf that will sit on a table so you can rack up your honey bottles and bears on it for sales. We are also going to produce a prototype pair of cleats that looks like a branch with a swarm on one end. That was a suggestion by one of the folks on this thread and we are going to try it out to see how it looks.
Here is our deep honey comb and flower&comb design. We have a bee medallion design yet to cut and that will finish our initial designs. One again, please note that we are using bee box parts on hand to cut these. Our production will be select lumber.
I really like that. I'd buy a couple.
Here is our final bee box design, a bee medallion. The farm name in this one is engraved instead of raised. We like the engraving, but we are going to look at a couple of different fonts, we are not certain we like this one as a final font. This box will be the least costly as it is around 3 hours of machine time. This one can also go on mediums and supers with very little modification, so all the boxes can match. I think this design would also go well with the other designs if you wanted this for honey supers and use another of the designs for deeps.
You're really getting good detail in the veins of the wings, & other places.
Very nice.
Actually, this is the one design we bought. But it is still nice . Probably should have stated that. Sorry about that!!
Just wanted to update folks on how our carved bee boxes are going. We have completed all our designs. We will have all the designs I've posted to date also in a medallion format similar to the large bee. Before too long, I hope to get those designs up on the website.
Our only hitch to date has been finding clear pine at a reasonable cost, and we need clear (select grade) pine for these boxes. It does not seem that we can get that lumber in KY for a reasonable cost. We did find a supplier for cypress and made a lumber run today to try our carvings on that wood.
For us, the cypress is cheaper than clear pine (go figure). Every cypress board we bought is perfectly clear. So if the carving turn out well on this lumber, this is probably what we are going to use at least initally.
We have our website up at www.kbfarms.com and we are also on facebook. If you would like to contact us, please either PM me here or send an email through the website or facebook.
Once we are up and running, I will also post in the for sale section here on Beesource. Thanks again for all your interests in the bee boxes.
have you tried poplar
Just wanted to post a final update in this thread. We are ready for production. For now, we have settled on cypress wood for the hive bodies. If you are interested in getting a quote from us, just go to our website at www.kbfarms.com, pick out the design you'd like and send us an email with the size of box you'd like (deep, med, 10 frame, 8 farme) and we'll send you a quote for the box. The same for a sign, send the size, desired design and information you'd like on it and we'll send you a quote. In the quotes will also be a file with the way the sign or box will be carved so there is no misunderstanding on what exactly you will get. We want to ensure that you are happy with your order. I'll be posting in the For Sale section in the future on Bee Source. I appreciate all the feedback from the folks who participated in this thread. It really helped us to nail down what folks would like.
Looks like it would make a great gift!
Some other folks have suggested Cherry for signs. My understanding is that is a very hard but pretty wood. I don't know how fast bits would dull using that wood.
I think cedar would be a very pretty wood for signs. We are going to look around for red cedar and try that wood. Has anyone worked with red cedar? Do you like it?
I would go with Mahogany -durable and able to take differences in humidity.

Up to $10k for anglers who catch unwanted fish
SALT LAKE CITY ( AP) - Utah and Wyoming wildlife agencies have come up with a fun way to get rid of unwanted fish in the Flaming Gorge Reservoir.
On Feb. 1-3, they'll host the third annual "Burbot Bash" fishing competition that gives anglers a chance to win up to $10,000 by catching burbots out of the reservoir.
Ryan Mosley of the Utah Division of Wildlife says that the burbot was illegally introduced into the reservoir in 2006. Since then, the population has exploded and done harm to other sport fish like the small mouth bass by eating them or their main source of food.
Fisherman can win $1,000, $2,500 or $10,000 by catching one of 25 burbots that will be tagged.
The Flaming Gorge Reservoir spans across the Wyoming-Utah border, south of Rock Springs, Wyo.
