Town Square
The Political Lynching of George Zimmerman.
Original post made by Ken, Midtown, on Jul 13, 2013
But, oh what?! Z actually DID have wounds on his head, as he said, because Martin (M) attacked him, and which the liberal press denied.
High tech lynchings are almost as bad as the real deal, especially if they are hate crimes, including claims that Z did it because he is a white guy and M is black (none of which has been shown by the published evidence). BTW, Z is a mixed ethnic, and his appearence suggests that he is Latino, yet the press insisted that he is "white". Of course, the pictures of M are consistently shown as his younger self, not his older self, which is not so sweet looking. This press treatment is properly called liberal propaganda.
This thing is a teaching moment for liberals. Shameful on their part, but still a possibility of rehabilitation.
Note: I posted this over a year ago. Justice was done today, finally. This case should never have been filed. It was racial politics, period.
George Zimmerman deserves a huge apology.

Please remove this dubious "article" on the grounds that any article that only inflames people to post comments - all of which have been removed by the editor is not an article at all but just a slap in the face to the very idea of a town square forum.
thank you.

"George Zimmerman deserves a huge apology."
Surely you jest.
A man with a record of altercations with police; oddly, a wanna-be-cop. With a record of only calling the police on African American citizens. A man who, against the orders of the police dispatcher and his own neighborhood watch rules, gets out of his car, with a loaded and cocked weapon and accosts a innocent 17 year old boy after stalking him.
Who had the right to self defense? Seems like Trayvon Martin, an unarmed 17 year old, was hunted down, and had no defense against an older, heavier man armed with a gun.
Michael Savage (nee Wiener) put it well: George Zimmerman, with a loaded and ready to use weapon with the safety off, went off hunting a human and wanted to get in trouble.
He did.
The jury released George Zimmerman.
"Savage laid out his case, saying that the murder could have been avoided, but based on Zimmerman's gun having a round in the chamber with the safety off, Zimmerman intended "to find some he could shoot or intimidate."
"Zimmerman was carrying a Kel Tec semi-automatic 9mm handgun," Savage said. "So? Big deal. It is a big deal because he had a bullet chambered in the gun and he had the safety off… Had he not chambered a round prior to meeting Trayvon, and had he not taken the safety off, even if Trayvon, during the altercation even if Trayvon had tried to grab the gun away from Zimmerman — had that gun not been chambered with a round and safety off, Trayvon Martin would have had to use two hands. You can't do it with one hand." "
- Imagine how much better Zimmerman's life would be today if he stayed in his car as instructed by the police dispatcher.
- Imagine how much better Zimmerman's life would be if he had not followed and stalked Martin after calling the police.
- Imagine how much better Zimmerman's life would be today, if he just got out of the car, kept his distance from the 17 year old and said: "Hi, I'm George, of the neighborhood watch. The police are on their way, can I help you with anything?"
- Imagine Trayvon Martin being allowed to live, as you would want for anyone's child.
I cannot predict the future, but I suspect Zimmerman will be given an opportunity to apologize in a civil trial.

To "That User Name"...It is also possible that Zimmerman may have been beaten to death had he not fired his weapon. I agree with you about your "imagine points." Z should have done exactly what you suggest.

If it were a black killing a black or white killing a white, we would have never heard of this case. I agree, the media did blow it up, and people judge without all the facts.
Did anyone see the TV interview with the lead defense lawyer? He said Z grew up with blacks and took a black girl to his prom. He also has a record of helping blacks. Why didn't the defense publicize this? He is not a racist. Sure, he profiled based upon a "thug" profile, but he is not a racist.
Plus, he is not a WASP. He is half Hispanic, which makes him a minority, in affirmative action definition.
I am glad the jury based their decision on facts, not politics or public opinion.

>> The Political Lynching of George Zimmerman
No, it looks like everyone was right after all, it was Trayvon Martin that got "lynched", if you must use that term.
If I had to guess I'd say there are certain moves in our judicial system like in a dance. This move was the overcharge George Zimmerman with murder instead of charging him with what he did, which was really manslaughter.
The father of Zimmerman being a judge knows how to manipulate just about any situation to get a desired outcome. There may be a few cases where public outcry would be too strong, but they mean to make this stick, probably as a message that is more pro vigilanteism than it is pro- being able to walk freely and safely in your town. What this says to the public is that there is more likely to be armed people out who will take you down if you do something questionable than pushing any kind of responsiblity on these "vigilantes". I can understand this from a hardline point of view, but it is the wrong decision ... it is a decision to continue to intimidate out of fear of black people - I think.
Zimmerman disobeyed the police and put himself in that situation, and provoked Martin by stalking him and scaring him until he thought he had no recourse but to attack Zimmerman. It's too bad that Martin did not think to dial 911 and report Zimmerman.

Hey all i was considering purchasing a gaunt kit from ebay,
i just had a quick question for you all that maybe some can shed some light on,
What exactly are the differences between the ESB and ROTJ gauntlets aside from their colors?
first off take a look at Ruffkintoy first. you might get screwed on ebay as many of us have before finding TDH. There is one seller in particular that the pics are not what you get.
ESB and ROTJ are different in the flamethrower mostly.
hope that helps
ICCCCKKKKK!!!! yes watch out for ebay. too many people use pictures from other peoples gauntlets. or send you pieces that look like plain old blocks of resin or curved pieces of sintra without wrist accents.
try to contact Ruffkin as his gauntlets are both affordable and nice and detailed. with a decent paintjob and construction they can rival some of the more expensive kits.
definately give him a go before you possibly waste time or money on some of those shady ebay auctions
could u guys pm me with the name of that particular seller so i dont make a big mistake,
The item in particular that i am considering is just the shells of the gauntlets with no resin parts i.e. the darts and the missle, im planning to make my own anyway, but i was wondering if those shells would be a good start, cause i do love to have big projects.
I just nearly completed my Rubies boba and with much TLC its becoming a superb helmet ill post pics asap.
thanks for all the help TDH members!! :thumbsup
I actually sent this seller an email with questions and he replied fairly quickly and even sent me pics of the "shells", they from the pics look actually like a decent start.
the last i heard of that certain person on ebay selling the gauntlets, he said paypal account had been frozen AND he didn't even have any pulls ready. how do you even have an auction going if you can't take paypal and you don't even have the product available..well i know it's possible, but its funny. luckily I was not able to pay for the gauntlets I won because of his paypal woes. I then did a search for his ebay name on here and found what a horrible choice I had almost made. Then I contacted ruffkintoys and couldn't have been happier. And I only paid about $10 more than the ebay auction and it was worth ever cent.
Everyone else already said it, but I'll reiterate, contact Ruffkintoy. I just got a set of his gauntlets, and they are fully worth it. You might find some cheaper on ebay, but there would be no way of knowing whether or not they are decent. If you check around the boards, you'll find plenty of testimonials for Ruffkintoy's gauntlets.
I'm ready to buy a set of ESB gauntlets from Ruffkintoy, from what I hear, they are some of the best gauntlets you can get!
The gauntlets on ebay that are just vacuformed shells with no resin parts are recasts of mine, I am sure of this. If you are wanting a set from the original molds with the resin parts just PM me.
Oh, and the differences in ESB and ROTJ are the flamethrowers are different. Box style on ROTJ and tubular on ESB, also the whipcord housings are slightly different.
I bought the glassfiber gauntlets off ebay,a friend bought ruffkins a while back.
He then saw mine and binned his ruffkins,hes just bought them from ebay.
No offence to anyone on here and im not treading on toes but thin plastic thats easily broken is no match for glassfiber.
In regard to plastic vs fiberglass, the originals were made out of thin plastic, so many gauntlets are available in plastic to appease purists.
But the pics ive seen at the magic/myth museum have glassfiber inside+ i wanted a costume that would last more than one convention.I completley understand that some people will want one thing and not the other,im just relating my experience which has been a very good one.
The Ruffkintoy gauntlets are nice. I'm pretty sure they will last more than one convention. Quite a few TDHers have them here and I haven't heard of anyone having problems with them.Quote:
thewatcher said:
If you want them fiberglassed inside, Chuck can do that for you for an additional cost.
I think ill stick with mine thanks.
I have had my own personal gauntlets for more that 3 years now (same pair) and have had no problems with breakage. I go to at least 4 cons a year as well as several toy shows and public events.
As Ripcode said I do offer fiberglass reinforcement if anyone wants it.
I love my Ruffkins:)
No probs here.
i dont know anything about riffkins dude, but ive heard more then a few sad stories about gauntlets on ebay. dont screw yourself...the ppl here know what theyre talking about.
Easily broken?? :confusedQuote:
thewatcher said:
Since you don't own the Ruffkintoy gauntlets how can you say they are easily broken?
Hey "thewatcher".... Are you really Frank-N-Son?? :rolleyes
Again, that's why we put fg inside. Ruffkintoy makes a great set of gauntlets.
Maybe you are not trying to step on toes but I think you need to try harder not to.

To Ripcode
Keep sock puppet comments between yourself and moderators
To watcher
I agree it would be hard to evaluate a set of gauntlets if you don't own a set yourself. Also, if you don't plan to take any TDH advice, it does not seem sensible to go on th edge of receiving any by floating around a thread that is reviewing such products. It has been mentioned that fiberglass reinforcement is available from Ruffkin, and if the plastic was really that bad in the first place, that option wouldn't be an option it would be standard.
If you are sooooo sure about the gauntlets you want, go for 'em. No one's going to stop you. But be mindful, listen to what these people say. We dedicated our lives to the fictional character boba fett (well, I do). So, I think we may have a little more knowledge than YOU about this subject. Im not trying to be offensive, I just dont want to see anyone go through what I had to go through with ordering a helmet off of ebay.
AND I DO own a set of Ruffkin gauntlets, and they are magnificent. They are a HARD plastic, and wont break easily. I am not finished with them yet, but i am working on them.
In the end, you are the one to decide what you want to order, but jsut be careful, and listen to us. We know more than you think we know.
This bickering is pointless, let the lad do what he wants to do.
What I do? :confusedQuote:

Going through hives yesterday in SC and came across a good percentage that had sign of failed queen/laying worker. I'm still seeing plenty of bees in most of those hives so it seems the queens failed recently. In situations where hives are overwintered in the south and the queen doesn't get much of a break do you all re-queen annually or bi-annually?
Thanks for your input

The Russian connection: See all our coverage | Read about our investigation
For more than a century, gold has held a special allure for the conservative fringe. Amid economic downswings and social upheaval, the precious metal has come to be seen as a moral and political statement as much as an investment. And now, with the economy limping along and a black Democrat in the White House, gold mania has gone mainstream. Gold prices hit a recent high last December and remained strong as the European debt crisis unfolded this spring. John Paulson, the hedge-fund giant who made billions bundling and betting against Goldman Sachs subprime mortgage securities, has invested heavily in gold, even starting a new fund devoted solely to it. A recent New York Times poll found that 1 in 20 self-identified Tea Party members had bought gold in the past year. Cashing in on all this is a raft of entrepreneurs who have tapped into financial insecurity and fever dreams of approaching tyranny. Nearly every major conservative radio host, including Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Michael Savage, and Dr. Laura Schlessinger has advertised gold. And of course, Glenn Beck.

Det var temmelig godt!
It was pretty good!
We spent a week and it was nice. Nastia is relaxed, straightforward and discreet. The location is very good and well connected (Subway / S / Tram). The bedroom was basic (bed, table, closet), spacious, clean - as shown in the photos. The bathroom was very clean as well. We were provided with blankets and towels. Good WiFi Internet connection. Numerous restaurants / bars around. Kaiser's supermarket is close.
Very nice and calm owner, we had a pleasant stay in the apartment.
I would recommend it also because it is close to nice bars to go out and it is not really far from Alexanderplatz if you are in for a nice walk!
We had a great time in Berlin thanks to Nastia, she is really kind and cared about us so much. I would recommend to stay there a hundred percent!
Location is very good. The room was clean and nice, exactly as described. Nastia is a very kind host. Check-in - Check-out times flexible, my bus arrived 2 hours late at midnight but I did not have any problems to get keys. I would recommend this room.
The room was clean and big, Everything was exact the same ,as it has been written! Nastia was pretty flexible with check in and check out and helpful with many hints about Berlin to city newcomer.Good location-30 min walk from Alexanderplatz
Good location, bedroom is big enough, bathroom is very clean. Good price considering everything! The kitchen is not very useful, considering that as a tourist, you leave early and arrive late and you can only access it at certain hours. But for a few days it's ok. Would chose it again.
We were two twenty year old friends who stayed with Nastia for 10 nights and she was a fantastic and super kind host. The pictures match the actual room perfectly, everything was the way we expected. The room was big, and clean. We were provided with blankets and towels, she gave us the keys and the wifi pasword when we first arrived. The kitchen, which is actually inside her room had every tool we need it and we could use it even if she was working in her computer. We shared the fridge as well. We basically didn't have any problem at all either with the house or her. We could ask her for directions or places to go in Berlin and she would reply kindly.
About the location, it is in a wonderful neighbourhood full of cute cafes and bars. It has a couple of close supermarkets and the subway stations aren't so far. It's a not so crowded or noisy area but pretty close to the city center.
We would totally recommend anyone to stay here. We spent such an awesome time there!

Anyone Watch The FSU Miami game? 5 draft eligible plays stood out to me: Lamar Miller showed some really nice north-south running. Sean Spence played very well at LB for Miami. Brandon Jenkins spent all day in the Miami backfield. Maybe, the best game was from Nigel Bradham prior to his ejection. Lastly, Greg Reid was electric as a returner. He had 1 punt return for a TD and a 2nd long return that was called back but was jaw dropping. He really is something else. He is a good corner too, but is unlikely to be much more than a nickelback because of his height.
On that Bradham ejection, I normally do not like Matt Millen in the booth at all, but he was very vocal about that call and I agreed with him 100%. Bradham didnt launch himself and he didnt use his helmet, nor did he hit the recievers head. All he did was stand his ground and lower his shoulder as the Miami QB led the WR right into him. Its no reason to eject a player and it shouldnt even be a penalty. I understand the need to protect defenseless players, but they need to make changes to the rules for offenses too if they really had players interest at heart. At least half the monster hits taking place on WR are the QBs or OCs fault for leading WRs in to defenders.

Also, Revis is good in zone as well. It just benefits the team more to play him in man to man coverage. Why waste a corner in zone if he can shut down The best receiver on the other team? If we play against qbs like Rg3 kapernick or Wilson, and we have great corners who excel in man to man coverage, we could blitz contain and play press. I doubt any of these Qbs would put on a show like did they this season against a defense like the jets were 3-4 years ago when rex first got there.
And last but not least why not just change the system then? If you have corners who are better at man to man then dont play so much zone. Blitz more. use a qb spy instead of zone. The only reason i wouldnt want revis for a first is because of the ACL injury.But when he is healthy he is the best defensive player in the NFL and probably the best corner to ever play the game.
I think we use the word "system" and try to complicate things too much. If you're a good corner then you are a good corner. If you're a great Quarterback then you are a great quarterback. Get the Great player first, worry about the "system" later.

Don't take it personal, we're just debating.
~Big Mike~
is there any way to pull this off with out the inclusion of the first? can't we job the jets like everyone else? lol. steep price for a one year rental,,he would have to agree to contract extension if we got him and he will command big bucks. don't see it happening but he and prince with there 3 safety set would be formidable(assuming revis' knee is good to go)
If the jets offered Revis for a first, I would counter with a second for Cromartie. No? Hell, he can't be worse than Corey Toaster...
I'm Commander Shepard, and this is my favorite team in the NFL.
Besides their cap problems, they wont be able to tag revis after this season...should offer a 2nd and if plays a certain amount of games should give them a first.

Discussion in 'Pistons and NBA' started by himat, Jun 29, 2007.
Star-Telegram.com | 06/29/2007 | Is Mavs owner now crying foul?
Not defending Mark, but you have to read between the lines on this one.
Cuban is a cry baby. Your team is weak and doesn't have any heart because your star player Captain Dirk has no heart and is softer than a piece of cake. Going by Cuban's logic then you should not trade players to other teams or fire and head coaches and assistant coaches from your team because they might have inside info and give it to an opposing team. Whatever!!! You think Big Ben Wallace didn't tell his Bull team mates what RIP and Chauncey like to do and how to get under Sheed's skin? You think Rick Carlysle didn't share info with his players? It happens all the time. Get a life Cuban. And stop making excuses.
I don't see any secret message. All I see is a guy making excuses on why his team lost instead of accepting defeat. Don Nelson knows the habits of the Dallas players. So what? That happens all the time in sports, but teams find a way to get through that. Dallas couldn't, and Cuban resorts to this BS.
Maybe Cuban is upset because Don Nelson told his team that Dirk wears womens underwear. :nerd2: :nerd2: :nerd2: :nerd2: :nerd2: That's inside info for you.... badda bing!!!
A lot of people read one article and then draw conclusions without researching the topic further. Cuban and Nellie have a horrible relationship that goes back much further than the recent series loss. I'm not reading any crying from Cuban in that article. I am reading a lot of conjecture from Nellie's lawyer. Personally, I am not a big fan of other people putting words in my mouth. I don't think many folks are.
This is ridiculous. The NBA doesn't allow a coach to be under contract to two different teams at the same time to avoid these types of situations. And if he was, Mark Cuban should have brought this to the proper NBA officials the moment it was beginning to transpire, not a few months after getting your worst beating in NBA history. I cast my vote for sour grapes.
Nellie had a non-compete clause and he violated it by going to the Warriors. He still wants to get paid, and yet he still wants to compete against the people paying him. Obviously there is a lot of gray area in this case, but non-competition clauses are fundamental to many buyout agreements. As it stands now, it looks like Cuban has a case against Nellie for breach of contract.
I see your point Roscoe. I just think Cuban should have played this card 9 months ago when Nelson took the job. Cuban could have went to Stern and if he did not get satisfaction he could have filed suit in court naming the Golden State Warriors and Nelson as defendants and gotten a court order banning Nelson from coaching until the case was resolved. Cuban did none of this. He chose to wait until after his team got beaten to claim foul play. It just doesn't make Cuban look good even though he has a legit case. Making a stink about it now makes him look like a sore loser. I think Cuban thought like many of us did when he heard where Nelson was going to coach and laughed. Golden State?? LOL.. Good Luck Nellie. I know that was my reaction. This whole breach of contract thing was not even on his mind at the time. However now, Golden State is a force to be reckoned with.
The claim of foul play was made months ago. I remember reading it on ESPN. But when folks take one article, title it XYZ is a loser, or ABC messes up again, regardless of the facts, the source or the history, we end up with people developing malformed opinions. Cuban stopped paying Nelson when he breached his contract. One could say that he was classy about not blocking Nellie from going to Golden State over it. He seemed content to just stop paying him. Now Nellie wants to double dip and get paid by Oakland and Dallas. We vilified Larry Brown for that. This drama has been going on for several seasons. Lost on all the people who want to jump on Cuban is that he still employs Nelson's son and he gave Nellie a very nice buyout. It's just part of our cynical society where we cry that there are no more good guys, but when we have one, we tear them down and laugh at them. WW, you don't like that Davidson is cheap. Cuban has spent out of his own pocket to build the Mavs. He spares no expense for the team on or off the court. He sits in the stands with the regular fans so he can get an idea of how good the fan experience is because he's a smart marketer. But hey, if people think a self made billionaire and winner, who I will admit is a bit of a narcissist, is a loser then so be it.
I don't think Cuban is a loser Roscoe. Anybody that is a self made billionaire is far from a loser. I think Cuban is a sore loser or to better phrase it doesn't like to lose. I think it burns him more that Nellie beat his team. That is my opinion. I admit I don't know alot of the back history on this story. However, reading the article Cuban doesn't make a plausible arguement to suport himself. He rambles about Nellie having inside information about the Mavs. This is the main thing that I commented on in my earlier post and that statement is what made a lot of people just tune out and say Cuban is crying again. Cuban should have just stuck to the fact that Nellie breached his contract and was trying to double dip and get paid by both teams. He should have just said that we had an agreement in place in which the Warriors and Nelson violated. Perhaps Cuban was being classy in not making a big deal about Nellie going to Golden State. However, business is business and a agreement is a agreement. Demanding Nelson sign away his right to further payments from Cuban or demanding compensation from the Warriors would have been Cuban's recourse if he did not want to go to court. Cuban did not do this. So Cuban while perhaps being classy is going to end up looking bad.
Nellie's lawyer says that. Not Cuban.
Did you here what Cuban said to Don when Don told him he was going to Golden State? Wooooooooooooooooooooeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee Nellie
Interesting read.

text: Since moving south, I don't get to skate often as the rink is 2 hrs. away. I developed a large bunion on my one foot, and surgery is not an option because I have no health insurance. I have not seen an orthopedic yet, but I am sure I will have to. Anyway, I wondered if anyone here suffers with bunions and how they cope with wearing a tight skating boot? It's hard to even put my foot into the boot, as bending the toes really hurts. I have to adjust the laces, so they are not too tight. And it takes awhile, but I am able to skate. Motrin really helps with the pain and inflammation. But wondering if any type of gel pad or something else might help? I had to switch to wide width sneakers, cause anything tight causes pain. I'd appreciate any advice you can offer. Thank you!!!

Others, including Iron Hawk and Feather Earring, confirmed that Custer and his men got no closer to the river than that—several hundred yards back up the coulee. Most of the soldiers were still farther back up the hill. Some soldiers fired into the Indian camp, which was almost deserted. The few Indians at Minneconjou Ford fired back.
The earlier pattern repeated itself. Little stood in the soldiers' way at first, but within moments more Indians began to arrive, and they kept coming—some crossing the river, others riding up from the south on the east side of the river. By the time 15 or 20 Indians had gathered near the ford, the soldiers had hesitated, then begun to ride up out of Medicine Tail Coulee, heading toward high ground, where they were joined by the rest of Custer's command.
The battle known as the Custer Fight began when the small, leading detachment of soldiers approaching the river retreated toward higher ground at about 4:15. This was the last move the soldiers would take freely; from this moment on everything they did was in response to an Indian attack growing rapidly in intensity.
As described by Indian participants, the fighting followed the contour of the ground, and its pace was determined by the time it took for Indians to gather in force and the comparatively few minutes it took for each successive group of soldiers to be killed or driven back. The path of the battle follows a sweeping arc up out of Medicine Tail Coulee across another swale into a depression known as Deep Coulee, which in turn opens up and out into a rising slope cresting at Calhoun Ridge, rising to Calhoun Hill, and then proceeds, still rising, past a depression in the ground identified as the Keogh site to a second elevation known as Custer Hill. The high ground from Calhoun Hill to Custer Hill was what men on the plains called "a backbone." From the point where the soldiers recoiled away from the river to the lower end of Calhoun Ridge is about three-quarters of a mile—a hard, 20-minute uphill slog for a man on foot. Shave Elk, an Oglala in Crazy Horse's band, who ran the distance after his horse was shot at the outset of the fight, remembered "how tired he became before he got up there." From the bottom of Calhoun Ridge to Calhoun Hill is another uphill climb of about a quarter-mile.
But it would be a mistake to assume that all of Custer's command—210 men—advanced in line from one point to another, down one coulee, up the other coulee and so on. Only a small detachment had approached the river. By the time this group rejoined the rest, the soldiers occupied a line from Calhoun Hill along the backbone to Custer Hill, a distance of a little over half a mile.
The uphill route from Medicine Tail Coulee over to Deep Coulee and up the ridge toward Custer Hill would have been about a mile and a half or a little more. Red Horse would later say that Custer's troops "made five different stands." In each case, combat began and ended in about ten minutes. Think of it as a running fight, as the survivors of each separate clash made their way along the backbone toward Custer at the end; in effect the command collapsed back in on itself. As described by the Indians, this phase of the battle began with the scattering of shots near Minneconjou Ford, unfolding then in brief, devastating clashes at Calhoun Ridge, Calhoun Hill and the Keogh site, climaxing in the killing of Custer and his entourage on Custer Hill and ending with the pursuit and killing of about 30 soldiers who raced on foot from Custer Hill toward the river down a deep ravine.
Back at Reno Hill, just over four miles to the south, the soldiers preparing their defenses heard three episodes of heavy firing—one at 4:25 in the afternoon, about ten minutes after Custer's soldiers turned back from their approach to Minneconjou Ford; a second about 30 minutes later; and a final burst about 15 minutes after that, dying off before 5:15. Distances were great, but the air was still, and the .45/55 caliber round of the cavalry carbine made a thunderous boom.
At 5:25 some of Reno's officers, who had ridden out with their men toward the shooting, glimpsed from Weir Point a distant hillside swarming with mounted Indians who seemed to be shooting at things on the ground. These Indians were not fighting; more likely they were finishing off the wounded, or just following the Indian custom of putting an extra bullet or arrow into an enemy's body in a gesture of triumph. Once the fighting began it never died away, the last scattering shots continuing until night fell.
The officers at Weir Point also saw a general movement of Indians—more Indians than any of them had ever encountered before—heading their way. Soon the forward elements of Reno's command were exchanging fire with them, and the soldiers quickly returned to Reno Hill.
As Custer's soldiers made their way from the river toward higher ground, the country on three sides was rapidly filling with Indians, in effect pushing as well as following the soldiers uphill. "We chased the soldiers up a long, gradual slope or hill in a direction away from the river and over the ridge where the battle began in good earnest," said Shave Elk. By the time the soldiers made a stand on "the ridge"—evidently the backbone connecting Calhoun and Custer hills—the Indians had begun to fill the coulees to the south and east. "The officers tried their utmost to keep the soldiers together at this point," said Red Hawk, "but the horses were unmanageable; they would rear up and fall backward with their riders; some would get away." Crow King said, "When they saw that they were surrounded they dismounted." This was cavalry tactics by the book. There was no other way to make a stand or maintain a stout defense. A brief period followed of deliberate fighting on foot.

A decade ago the accomplishments of the Hope College women's basketball team were called "The Miracle on Eighth Street" as the Flying Dutch captured the NCAA Division III national championship.
This weekend members of the team will gather in Holland for a ten-year reunion highlighted by a tribute at halftime of a home women's basketball game on the same Holland Civic Center floor where the Dutch dramatically captured the national crown on March 17, 1990.
On Saturday (Feb. 19) the Flying Dutch will host Rochester College of Michigan in their regular season finale. Tipoff will be at 2 p.m.
At halftime members of the 1990 team will be honored. There will also be a post-game reception for fans and the team. On Saturday evening there will be a banquet honoring the 1990 and current team.
Former head coach Sue Wise Beckman will be joined by her assistant coaches Mary Schaap VanFarowe of Holland and Kris Smith of Kalamazoo.
All but one of the 1990 team members is scheduled to return for the reunion. The absentee will be Joy Brumels Zomer who with her husband and children is a teacher at the Haroli Gaspar Reformed University in Budapest, Hungary.
Team members who plan attend include Robin Schout Brands of Zeeland, Stephanie Reimer Vandenbrink of Holland, Holly Vandenberg VanEssen of Chicago, Dina Disney Hackert of Ludington, Anna Marie Postmus School of Baraboo, Wisc., Melinda Maurits of Hamilton, Amy Alverson Hodgson of Fowlerville, Michele Sterk Schoon of Ludington, Lisa Nienhuis Gilmore of Holland, Heidi Carigan Boes of Kalamazoo, Melissa "Missy" Hargreaves Thomas of Rapid City, and Deb Hoffman of Omaha, Neb.

Master's Course List
The curriculum includes a list of courses common to all Biology M.S. students, plus two options for independent study:
|Degree Requirements
Core Requirements:
|BIO 402 Biometrics
|BIO 502 Biological Research & Policy I**
|BIO 503 Biological Research & Policy II**
|BIO 551 Advanced Cell Biology
|BIO 571 Advanced Ecology & Evolution
|Thesis Option
|BIO 585 Master's Thesis
|Biology Approved Electives*
|Non-Thesis Exam Option
|BIO 583 Closure Exam Preparation
|Biology Approved Electives*
*It is expected that students will take elective courses in the areas of the selected concentration.
**BIO 502 & 503 must be taken within the first 14 hours of graduate work.
Thesis Option: BIO 402 must be taken concurrently in the term that the thesis proposal will be defended.
**Enrollment in the Master's Thesis requires that you:
- first complete BIO 502 & 503;
- first successfully defend a research proposal to your advisory committee; and
- obtain the signature by your research advisor.
Non-Thesis Exam Option: The closure activity for this option is a comprehensive examination that will cover the coursework the student has completed in fulfillment of the master's degree. BIO 402 must be taken before the closure exam can be administered. BIO 583 (Closure Exam Preparation) must be taken either during or following the semester when the remainder of the course work has been completed.
The examination consists of both a written and an oral section, which are administered at the end of the semester. An examination committee will conduct the oral examination and will consist of two faculty members from the Biology Department and a faculty member outside the department appointed by the Dean. It wil be offered twice a year in the last week of the spring and fall semesters. A summer exam will be implemented if there is sufficient demand.
To pass the comprehensive examination, the student must obtain a grade of B or higher on both the written and oral exams (grades of B- or lower will not be accepted). In the event the student fails the first comprehensive examination, a second but final opportunity with be given to pass the exam. Campus policy requires students be enrolled in at least one semester hour of closure exercise credit for each semester after they have begun their graduate closure exercises until the degree is completed. If the exam is not passed with the completion of four credit hours of BIO 583, the student must enroll in BIO 584 (zero credit hours, one billable hour) each regular semester (fall and spring) until the exam is passed.

I've got a trapout setup on a tree with entrances on opposite sides of the tree. Before I set the trap up the bees came and went out of both sides of the tree. I completely closed off one side with screen (window screen) and surrounded the other entrance with screen to close off everything but the entrance into the hive box. I notice that a lot of the bees are still trying to exit and enter the completed sealed off side and around the screen on the trapout side.
Should I seal the opening of the tree with something where they cannot smell/see the completely closed off entrance?

Rihanna Poses Almost Nude In Germany Hotel — See The Pics
Chris Brown may be taking the first flight to Rihanna after he sees these new photos of the 'Diamonds' singer half naked and looking sexier than ever!
Rihanna may have been mad at Chris Brown for allegedly partying with Karrueche Tran in Paris on Dec. 7, but she used her alone time wisely as she posed half naked for a number of photos!
Rihanna recently bared all for the cover of GQ and the front of her album for Unapologetic. She's no stranger to getting naked. But these new photos may be the steamiest yet! Do you agree?
Photographed by her best friend Melissa Forde, Rihanna, wearing just a black lace bra with a fur hooded coat over her head, kneels pantiless with a glass of wine in her hand.
"Who needs fashion when there's p**** @rihanna #MTFphotography," Melissa wrote on Instagram.
What do YOU think, HollywoodLifers? Should Rihanna stop posting half naked photos?

I started to do some work with a SQL Express database that I received from another person. The problems started when I tried to add a Database Diagram to the project. Normally when you do this you do need to create the diagram objects in the database, but this time I received an error message saying that the database did not have a valid owner.
Here is a copy of the error message that I received.
"Database diagram support objects cannot be installed because this database does not have a valid owner. To continue, first use the Files page of the Database Properties dialog box or the ALTER AUTHORIZATION statement to set the database owner to a valid login, then add the database diagram support objects. "
To fix the problem I first needed to attach the database to the management studio, this can be done in either the full product or the SQL Express Management Studio. Then by going to the properties for the database with the problem and selecting the files tab, change the owner to the [sa] account and select apply. Or you could use the following script.
USE [<DatabaseName>]
EXEC dbo.sp_changedbowner @loginame = N'sa', @map = false

Vurdering av denne eiendommen
We stayed two nights in the studio. It is rather small, but well organized and has everything you need for your stay. It is located close to some main attractions like the Tower of London and the Tower Bridge. Tara was a great host. Friendly, extremely helpful and always replied very fast to any of our questions and requests. As we had read in previous reviews, it indeed can be a little loud from the outside road, due to traffic and the plain windows. Nevertheless we had a pretty good sleep besides that. In all, we are satisfied with what we booked and got for the very reasonable price.
We spent 3 nights in the studio, and overall it was quite nice.
The room is just enough for a couple, quite clean despite a little bit noisy (though I'm quite sure Tarina cannot do anything about the police and medical vehicles honking and ringing their alarm!)
Her uncle Billy was really helpful too.
I would definitely book this studio again next time I come to London.
We really enjoyed the stay at Tarina's Apartment but it was also very loud and the area is not very attractive...otherwise the Apartment is very Big and has everything what you will Need at your stay in London also a Couch for guests.
The internet wasn't working and the street is very noisy so it's very difficult to sleep in the studio. The place is very close to tower bridge.
Easy to find. And clear info received from Tarina.
We received the key on time as planned. The place is fine. But there is a lot of noise of the street at night. Make sure to have earplugs. Bed is OK. Shower is small and not too comfy.
Estudio bien comunicado con el centro. A nosotros nos dieron un estudio en una buhardilla y hay escaleras empinadas. Tiene el menage justo para 2 personas, aunque podrían dejar la toalla del lavabo además de la de la ducha que si proporcionan. La cama es correcta y se duerme bien. Está en una carretera (road) y por lo tanto es ruidoso, por lo que los tapones de los oídos son indispensables. En resumen, es un sitio recomendable para pocos dias.
Pequeño apartamento, acogedor, con todo lo que necesitas, cama cómoda lo que me parece un dato importante. Los anfitriones muy amables.
Situado en Gran Avenida y cerca de la avenida principal del barrio.
Cerca de paradas de metro y bus. Ha sido una estancia muy agradable, lo recomiendo. Un saludo y gracias

Stuart Holden has struggled for playing time at Bolton since returning from injury, but the Trotters are prepared to set Holden up with a move that could help him get back on the field.
The Bolton News is reporting that Bolton is preparing to send Holden on a short-term loan move to Sheffield Wednesday.
Holden hasn't played in a month for Bolton, and a move to Sheffield Wednesday could allow him get playing time in the middle of a race to avoid relegation. Sheffield Wednesday is currently a point out of the relegation zone in the English League Championship.
Holden is in the final year of his deal with Bolton, and is reportedly in contract talks with the Trotters.
But I don't know that this necessarily a positive.
Agreed. I doubt he'll sign for Wednesday if the go down. Playing League 1 football certainly won't bode well for his hopes of making it back into the national team. And it looks like he doesn't have a future with Bolton either. It's sad to see what injuries have done to this kid's career
John Harkes
I don't see how this can be viewed as a negative.
"This is the next step in his rehabilitation process and he'll come back to us match fit. This is the best move for Stuart and is a win-win-win situation for everyone involved.
"We had a good chat earlier in the week. I informed him that we want him with us next season and have offered him a contract extension."
"It's fantastic news that we'll be giving him a new contract.
"I'm sending him out to get games because whatever I do is in Bolton's best interest. I am doing something that helps in the long run.
"Stu has played several reserve games but we're at the stage where he needs that test. I'm looking at the bigger picture because we've got young Josh Vela and Medo, and this move suits everyone."

It's been a worldwide smash, racking up more than 180 million views on YouTube, hitting No. 1 on the singles charts in America and appearing on TV show Glee.
But Belgian-Australian singer-songwriter Gotye says he's "sick" of hearing his song Somebody That I Used to Know, which features a guest verse from Kiwi singer Kimbra.
"Sometimes I feel like I'm a bit sick of it," Gotye told NME.com.
"My inbox, on any given day, has at least five covers or parodies or remixes of it and there's only so many times you can listen to the one song."
Gotye also said he no longer felt any sense of ownership of the song, which has been parodied hundreds of times on YouTube.
"I don't really feel like it belongs to me anymore. Everybody else kind of owns it now, especially with there being so many cover versions and parodies."
But he admitted that the song's success had been astounding for him, and he didn't think he was capable of writing another song that would be as big.
"I like the fact that people are still discovering it and I don't feel like it's a noose around my neck. But at the same time, I do wonder how many times you can listen to the same piece of music.
"I can't think of any song that's ever been picked up like this and I do feel like saying to people sometimes 'Come on guys, there are other songs out there'."
Gotye has also hit out at the version of his song that appeared on Glee, telling the Sunday Herald Sun it felt "dinky and wrong".
"They did such a faithful arrangement of the instrumentals, but the vocals were that pop Glee style - ultra-dry, sounded pretty tuned.
"And the rock has no real sense, Like it's playing to you from a cardboard box."

Great IDEA! I have the TK409 lights and I was planning on using some of the trimmed portion of my welding visor for glueing to the inside of the armor at the "window"
I'll have to try both to see which works best.

Judging JUST by the pics and movie files.. I really prefer the Shackman´s... Really sweet !!!
I will get one of those for sure ;)
Ripcode said:
I see no smoke or tinted plastic...
This picture was just to show how the TK409 lights line up in the BM armor. Would have been hard to see behind the smoked plastic. :rolleyesQuote:
Zeever Fett said:
I guess it's just prefernce then, I think shackman's looks more authentic.
the Digits on 409's are too narrow and the lights at the top are too small and spread out.
Shackman's lights are bigger and the Digits look more like the example shown on 409's website...
both are probably good quality, but I would go with Shackman's if I wanted something more accurate to the one from the film...
It's good to see there are plenty of sources/options when it comes to Fett parts! I think they both look great! :thumbsupQuote:
Zeever Fett said:
I like the fact that TK409's board is all one piece and compact, as opposed to Shack's board is spread out. Also when you put TK409's behind dark tinted plastic it's not too bright at all, especially in the day light IMO. Last but not least the price is right and the Item is already made, I got mine within a few days of payment. However their both very nice and I'd be happy to have either!
I'm glad to see this comparison and appreciate very much the nice review comments. I think the more options, the better it is for the fans. For reference, I have recommended you use a dark piece of plastic as a window in front of the display. These photos are of my actual display with a small piece of visor plastic covering the display. Obviously you don't see the white show through:
I, for one, am glad to see comparisons between two or more products. Well informed custoemrs are a good thing in any business (my opinion).
I didn't want to post previously, because I didn't want to come across as "pushing" my design. But, TK-409 has posted, and I don't think he pushed his either ... so just to address some points about why mine is the way it is:
1) The LEDs are not intended to be bright on mine, because the actual display (real suit) was a subtle effect. Most people not studying Fett didn't even know he HAD lights. I agree about brighter being better for viewing in sunlight (outdoors), which is why I offer standard and ultra-bright options in my Vader circuit. So, user preference all the way (which again, is a good thing).
2) The split circuit design (two boards connected by ribbon cable) was intended to keep you from having to cram too much behind one breast plate. With this design, you put one piece behind each breast plate, for a little more of a balance (it was suggested to me during the design phase).
3) Top row of LEDs, won't go into much there. Mine was designed based on requirements and pictures provided to me by TDHers way back when. If I had the option, honestly, I'd have used something similar to what TK-409 and others have done. Unless you're studying the display suit up-close, you probably won't see a difference (only for those that who would measure Fett's dimensions on a museum suit). You know who you are. ;)
Again, I'm glad everyone has options. Quite some time back, TK-409 and I chatted (e-mail) a bit, so I know his design had a lot of thought put into it. I've never seen one in-person, but I think Fett costumers will have an awesome display regardless which route you choose.
Good luck,

It's a question of averages. Sure you can find instances here and there when ANY team blew a big lead. But one game does not a season make. If you go on with an overly aggressive offense, on average you will give the other team a better chance of making interceptions and you will give them more time to get back in the game. When you are well ahead, the conservative approach wins more games on average.
It's nice of Brees to make a $1 mm donation to Sandy victims. I do think the Saints try to humiliate when they run up the score. I am having second thought on Brees, but Payton has a huge chip. I think the Giants are guided by the Gentleman Mara concept and that will always rule.
I'd rather see the Defense post a shutout. I miss the days of a dominating mean Giants Defense.
Tell that to the Patriots! They have won every game in the last decade in which they put up 40+ pts on an opponent! So, no, teams don't come back on you when you continue to score, & be up by 3+ scores, it takes the other team out of their game plan & more predictable to defend cuz you know they have to abandon the run game & pass on almost every down. in 2010, Giants were "well ahead" of the Eagles with 8 mins left, how'd that turn out? 02' playoffs vs SF, "well ahead' late in the 3rd qt, how'd that turn out?
No, when you have your foot on the opponents throat, you don't take it off! Giants just don't seem to understand that concept.
Didn't we blow out Carolina 36-7 earlier this season?
If that's not good enough, you will never be satisfied.
You are right, that one game did not keep me satisfied. I am a terrible fan for thinking they should not continue to play the best they can for the ENTIRE season.

Charges Filed Against Madison Parents, Son Accused Of Abusing Girl
MADISON, Wis. - Prosecutors have charged the 18-year-old stepbrother of a severely malnourished Madison girl with repeatedly sexually assaulting her beginning around her 10th birthday.
Dane County prosecutors on Thursday also filed felony child abuse and other charges against the 15-year-old girl's father, Chad Chritton, and stepmother, Melinda Drabek-Chritton.
The girl told police the couple had kept her confined to the basement of their Treichel Street home since 2006 and that they beat her, starved her and forced her to eat feces.
The couple is facing charges of first-degree reckless endangerment, intentional child abuse (bodily harm) and child neglect.
Prosecutors said the girl's stepbrother first sexually assaulted her around December 2006, then again from February 2009 to February 2010.
The 18-year-old stepbrother, Joshua P. Drabek, has been charged with first-degree sexual assault of a child under age 13 without great bodily harm, sexual assault of a child under age 16 and intentional child abuse (bodily harm).
A driver spotted the girl Feb. 6 walking barefoot in pajamas near her home on Madison's southeast side and called police. The driver said the teen was so scrawny he mistook her for an 8-year-old.
According to the criminal complaint, the girl fled the house after she was told by her stepmother that if she didn't hurry up and pick up some papers, Drabek-Chritton would take a knife and slit the girl's throat.
The girl weighed just 70 pounds when she was found, and the doctor who examined her determined she was severely malnourished. A doctor who specializes in child abuse examined the teen on Friday and diagnosed her condition as "serial child torture with prolonged exposure to definite starvation," according to the criminal complaint.
The attorney for Drabek-Chritton on Thursday argued for reduced bail.
"She is currently unemployed. She doesn't have any income of her own at this point," said attorney Adam Welch.
But the court commissioner increased Drabek-Chritton's bail to $30,000, citing the severity of the allegations.
"There also appears to have been ongoing sexual abuse at the hands of Joshua Drabek, who lives in the home, with the knowledge of Mr. Chritton along with his now-wife, Melinda Drabek. It also appears this family in the past has not cooperated with either the Department of Human Services or the Madison Police Department in investigations involving similar conduct by Joshua Drabek," said Assistant District Attorney Matt Moeser.
The bail for Chad Chritton was increased slightly as well, and Joshua Drabek will remain in jail on a probation hold.
Complaint Details Abuse Allegations
The criminal complaint is offering more details about the abuse allegations.
The family forced the teen to spend most of her time in the home's basement, without a bathroom, and she received little food, the complaint said.
The complaint said the girl, identified as SLC, told investigators she was mostly confined to the basement because her family members had "trust issues" with her and believed she posed a threat to them.
Chad Chritton told investigators that he had full custody of SLC because her biological mother had married a sex offender in Texas, the complaint said. SLC told police that when she was living in Texas with her mother and stepfather that her stepfather sexually assaulted her "once in a while when (she) was 8," the complaint said.
The complaint said that Chad Chritton told a doctor and a social worker that SLC was locked in the basement with bars on the windows and an alarm on the door so they would know if she tried to get out of the basement. Chad Chritton also told them he has cameras by the pantry to monitor if SLC ate anything because he believed SLC is diabetic and that sugar caused bad behaviors in SLC, the complaint said. No medical doctor has ever told SLC that she has diabetes, the complaint said.
SLC told investigators that when she does go upstairs, she's allowed to eat oatmeal and peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, "but that she frequently eats out of the trash or off the floor so as not to set off the alarm," according to the complaint.
SLC confirmed there was no bathroom in the basement and said that she sometimes had to defecate or urinate in containers or on the floor, the complaint said. SLC said she did this because she didn't want to set off the alarm, get anyone upset or wake anyone up by doing upstairs to the bathroom, the complaint said.
The girl said her father and stepmother made her drink her urine "a couple times I think," while she had been forced to eat her feces "lots" -- that she thought it was less than 10 times but couldn't say for sure because she didn't kept track, the complaint said.
The girl told investigators she hadn't urinated or defecated in the basement for awhile because she limits what she drinks so she doesn't have to urinate or defecate too much.
"If I drink water, then I will pee and I don't want to pee in the basement. I'm underweight because I don't eat much. I've always wanted to eat more," SLC told investigators, according to the complaint.
SLC said she doesn't eat more because she doesn't want to set off the alarm and she "doesn't want to ask to eat." She said she usually has to ask permission from Drabek-Chritton to eat, and that her stepmother usually says she's too busy to get her food or berates her, according to the complaint.
The girl told police said she was frightened of Drabek-Chritton and that her stepmother sometimes grabbed her by the throat and squeezed so that it became hard to breathe.
In the complaint, the girl is quoted as saying, "Last month my stepmom told my dad that she was in charge of me and that she is my personal owner. She told me dad that if my dad wants to be married to her he has to give me to her." She also told investigators that Drabek-Chritton wanted to be called "Your Majesty" and "Master."
SLC said that Drabek-Chritton lets her come upstairs to do chores for the family and that sometimes she makes her clean the house while naked so the girl couldn't hide any food in her clothes, the complaint said. When asked why she tried to hide food in her clothes, SLC replied, "Cuz I'm hungry," the complaint said.
Doctors who examined SLC said that given the extreme degree of starvation the girl has suffered, especially over the course of the past 30 days in which she rarely, if ever, had access to food, SLC was in an escalating pattern which ultimately could have resulted in death, according to the complaint.
The complaint said Dr. Barbara Knox, a child abuse pediatrician at the American Family Children's Hospital, examined SLC and diagnosed the girl as suffering from "serial child torture; persistent starvation; isolation; terrorization; physical abuse; sexual abuse; child neglect and symptoms concerning Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder."
The girl said she was threatened and told she would be physically harmed, including killed, on multiple occasions, according to the complaint. Those threats of death have come in the form of statements of strangulation, being killed with a knife and being killed with a gun, the complaint said.
Doctors said that as of Feb. 15, the girl had gained 17 pounds from being allowed regular access to regular feeding.
Protective Services Received Several Allegations Involving Family
State officials said Child Protective Services officials had contact with the family seven times in the past yet at no time was the girl taken into protective custody.
State officials said they can only release a limited amount of information in cases like these, but according to details released by the Wisconsin Department of Children and Families, in June 2006 and January 2007 there were two Child Protective Services reports alleging sexual abuse that happened in another state. Those incidents were unsubstantiated and the child was determined to be safe.
A couple months later in 2007, the family was investigated again on allegations of sexual abuse and neglect after the girl told a school counselor she was sexually abused. But the girl was unable or unwilling to tell the social worker on the case or the police officer in the interview, so the claims were unsubstantiated and the girl was deemed safe.
In June 2009, Child Protective Services made contact with the family, and this time the Dane County Department of Human Services referred the family to a community service provider, but it's not clear what that provider did or if the family ever made contact.
In September 2009, another report of alleged neglect was made, and again the family was referred to a community service provider, who did make contact with the family.
The most recent allegations of neglect were in March 2011, but Child Protective Services determined that the allegations didn't meet the legal definition of abuse or neglect.
Chad Chritton told police he'd sought help from Dane County Human Services for his daughter but had not found a "workable solution."

Can anyone give me advice on their frames? Their economy ones are real cheap.
Can anyone give me advice on their frames? Their economy ones are real cheap.
I bought 4,000 of their economy top bars this winter and they look real good.
"Suppose you were an idiot and suppose you were a member of Congress. But I repeat myself." - Mark Twain
Generally they are pretty good. My experience (based on three orders) is maybe 2 to 4% of the top bars were warped. Most of the warped ones are usable but some are annoying.
i've been happy with them.
I ordered about 200 of them. I've put together half. One of them was warped pretty bad. They are SUPER cheap, by cheap I mean they cost half of what everyone else is charging. I'm very happy with them. Received my order within a week. Would definitely buy from them again.
Browning cut stock in Juliaetta, ID has cheaper frames yet and they advertise them as #1 quality.
See there ad in American Bee Journal magazine.
If I'm not mistaken I believe their wooden ware is mostly Dadant stuff, including their frames..
we bought a bunch for them - fast shipping - great product - no complaints
Doing the Right things Right
Western is owned by Dadant, that's where all their woodware comes from; strangely enough they also compete with Dadant. I have bought thousands of their frames from either Western or Dadant over the last 10 to 15 years and I prefer the commercial over the budget. Try to buy only when they are on sale, like they say you get what you pay for.
i don't know about ownership, but i do know that western bee makes their woodenware in polson where the office is.
I am putting together Western bee woodware now. The budget frames are plenty good. An occaisional warped top bar. I think they make a huge fraction of everyones woodenware.
I bought maybe 200 from Western Bee last year around June and they went together well...I'd buy them again, except I got in on the "pay no shipping" deal from Mann Lake several times during the fall and winter, and bought their frame parts as well, and have had very good luck with them...I'd check with Mann Lake if you're looking for a good deal. I think their "pay no shipping" is still going on until their spring catalog comes out. You just have to buy over $100.00 worth to get the free shipping.
Yea like thats hard to do...HTML Code:You just have to buy over $100.00 worth to get the free shipping.
I bought all my gear from them this year. Their woodenware is excellent. I recommend spending a few extra bucks and get their best woodenware. Vicki handles sales and is very helpful. Im getting my carnolian bees from then as well. Good luck. Are you a newbeek?
John Q
Helena, Mt
Actually Western Bee has a huge manufacturing plant in Polson, Montana. I've been there and they make all their woodenware.

Recently got a large order of both frames and boxes from them through Dadants. Pricing was almost the same as Mann Lake but they gave me an incredible LTL delivery price that made the decision a no-brainer. The quality so far has been really good, but then I have always been impressed with what I get from them. Not sure that I would recommend buying their economy grade, though, with the savings only about 5 cents a frame just seems like a pretty small savings in the big picture.
We are not all buying in your quantity Mr. Lyon! I think the spread is .22 cents on small numbers and they cheapies look good to me. I bought the commercial boxes and am thinking I could have lived with the budget grade of those. I kept bees in budget boxes thirty years ago and you just put a soup can lid over the occaisional lost loose knot and you had to drill thru knots in some corners, other than that, they were fully servicable too. I think their seconds will last as long as their top grade. good folks
Maybe we arent comparing "apples to apples" here. The current Dadant catalog shows the economy deep frames at 62.00/100 and their regular frame at $67.00. I wasnt talking economy of scale here at all. Nor was I trying to talk down anyone or anyones equipment just making a recommendation based on the prices I am seeing.
PLEASE! No offense intended. My figures are for Western bee supplies best and beasts! I am surprised you don't get more of a break than that on quantity. The best to you. I am not a stock holder!
No offense taken Vance. Didn't say that was the price I got or the quantities that I ordered just taking their lowest quantities listed and assuming that there would be a similar spread in pricing of higher quantities (though typically economy grades are limited). If you can get a .22 cent price savings then go for it. You don't have a monopoly on the soup can lid business either, got a few of those floating around our operation as well. Wishing you the best. Jim

Today's loss by the broncos set a record for the most SBs lost surpassing both Buffalo and the Vikings.
Not only have they lost five of them, they all have been blowout losses
1) Dallas 27-10 over Denver
2) Giants 39-20 ( lets not forget Denver got ten garbage time points late )
3) Washington 42-10
That's 3 NFCE teams and 3 SB butt whoopings.. So I guess the NFCW wanted to get in on it
5) Seattle 43-8
That's a combined 206-58 or an avg. loss of 41-11 over the five losses.

The word of the day
i caught a swarm last May and put them into a nuc with 5 bars meaning to move them to a new hive I was building abd buy a bee suit.. Well needless to say I just now got around to moving them, oh what a mess Box was stuffed with bees , comb everywhere in every direction had to cut it all out. Glad I had my new bee suitTook a couple of hours these guys were mean. I thought that they were from my other hive but I don't think they were. Well got them moved into a new top bar hive. I was able to move about 3 bars of brood and a couple a honey the rest will be left out for them to rob out. So do not wait to do a job if it includes bees because they work faster than we do kept about a a pound of honey for how do you get the bees out of ii
