add me 2
Please put me down as interested for one gauntlet rocket. thanks.
and as he said We, me and Darthmiller to be exact, did a few things at C4 that probably would've got most people thrown in jail ... long story short, we got the measurements for the length and the width of the C4 AOSW gauntlet rocket...and with the help of our awesome machinest and a ton of ref photos to scale, we simply incorporated those two measurements into the FP rocket .....Again, as I stated earlier, it wasn't that complicated, as some were trying to make out to be....

so to recap...
there's a base of a cast-from-original jango. the jango was digitally scaled from boba size to jango size for the movie (sidebar: i love that jango is shorter... makes my 5 foot 9 boba so much better!).
at c4, y'all were able to measure the length and circumference of the one there, giving you numbers to scale off of.
a cad model was created off of the jango, then scaled up according to the measurements taken at c4.
did i get all that?
so it sounds to me that this is, to date, the closest to accurate that any of these will get. until someone with direct access to a screen used boba comes along with an interest thread, this is as close as we've come.
Hey Alex,
Interested here bro! Man... the amount of money I spent here on
TDH. I could of had two brand new cars...hehe!
99.9 %
Let's not forget, that although ultimately a Fox JF Missile first gen casting, their basis was exacting information/measurements from an ILM archived missile. This would mean Boba It is unclear from what exhibit, if it was a missile left laying around in the archives. No one knows. There is supposedly a requisition document floating around somewhere that might possibly reveal the exact source, but it has yet to surface. When they made their digital model from this information, THAT was scaled to Morrison. Then you have it from there
Another thing to add is the fact that the JF casting was not obscenely smaller. Because of all of this talk some might get the idea that we're talking drastic difference. Digitally it was 7% smaller. Or was it 9%? I don't remember, it's been a year since we did this
And one final note ... don't trust the "naysayer" telling you that FOx Australia didn't have access to an archived item of this sort. It is unequivocal that they did. That proof has been right under everyone's noses for years, and still ... few know it. From the "Buckethead" video ....
Perhaps someone can tell which ROTJ Gauntlet that is
Thanks buddy

Pending a final price I might be interested in one.
Count me in Spidey
Have to get the FP armor and guantlets first, but you can count me interested.
Spidey/FP, I have a question that I would like to see clarified for the board as I am being asked my opinion privately and if a few people are asking me, I assume there are more who would like to know.
What made you decide to go with copper over the more generally accepted brass?
I ask this because in your statement below you make it appear as if it is a fact that the original was copper. Is this something you have discovered to be true or something you believe based your observations of the rocket at C4? I just want to make sure we are all on the same page and that we don't end up with one person or groups perspective or interpretation being passed off as unequivicable fact as it is stated in your first post.
Well, i might be interested in one of these...if I am able to get a new set of gauntlets that is!! (FP )
There have been a very few Gaunt missles made from copper in the past. I had talked with PSBerreta (good pal of mine) a few years ago about the prospect of getting a copper tip rocket. I believe he made 2, and I saw one in person. They were very nice indeed, but i was always broke at the time, so did not get one from him. He has since moved away from anything Fett.
I think art has some valid questions there. Heres my thoguhts (for what they are worth )I guess I have been of the opinion that there are possibley 2 things going on with the gaunt missle....again, just my opinions/hunches here which are all base on the pics, so treat it as such.
1. I believe that at least some of the ROTJ rockets are brass. But, The ESB definately has always looked to me to be copper....There is something about it that looks different....in every shot!!!!! Now either it is made from copper, or it is made from brass, but with a patena of some kind on it to turn it a darker color. It definately does not have the common gold/yellowish color of machined brass. Now that different color can still be achieved with a brass tip. I believe it was Bobamaker that weathered one or the brass ones from one of our makers very nicely to the point where it did look kinda coppery. However, the ESB rocket tip does not look weathered at all IMO based on pics. It looks to be bare metal hot off the lathe to me...and it is darker than brass.
2. In talking with some others, (who's opinion I respect greatly,) it has been noted that copper would corrode up and turn green in a short time. Absolutley true!!!!! We have not seen any of the rockets exhibit that green corrosion on them. But...no one has seen the ESB gauntlets in 30 years either!!!!!!!! For all we know, the ESB rocket is sitting in a box somewhere buried in the archives and is completely green now!!!! !!!
So yeah, I could be completely wrong in my assumtions/opinions, but I think a copper tipped rocket would look fantastic on an ESB gaunt!!!!!!!!!
And I honestly, as others currently do, just thought it was copper..
Mainly because the over all "look" of the refence photos... as Brass would seem to tarnish a certain way, as does copper, and would change the overall look of the tip over time.... so I would have to say my statement was simply based on appearance only.
I personally believe it is cause I've seen it with my own eyes, or some type of copper alloy, which could explain the non corrosion... and even more so after seeing the C4 exhibit....But definately not brass. IMO.
and a side note, for the JB project gauntlet and a few others I've painted, the color of choice for the resin kits is Testors Copper.
Here is a shot Jason (darthmiller) took just as they were moving the cape back at C4....I even remember that a group of us agreed it wasn't brass...again simply based off of looks alone...
You can even see a dent at the tip of the copper that indicates it might be something Softer than brass.
Last edited by Spideyfett; Jan 6, 2009 at 1:40 PM.
Great points D.
but you are both right, what can't be explained is the corrosion factor...that's why I think it's a copper alloy, kinda like a penny.
Pennies are copper-plated zinc, not copper alloy. Brass is an alloy of copper and zinc.
The C4 pics definitely look like copper. To me, the dents along the edge and the one pointed out by SpideyFett look consistent with how copper would dent. Definitely wouldn't dent like that if it was brass and the dents happened while the rocket was attached to the gauntlet.
Pure copper wouldn't oxidize to green except under conditions that would probably destroy the rest of the gauntlet.
We actually were thinking of a copper alloy of some type per my machinest, I guess that's why I was on that wave length, what do I know... but an alloy would be easier to work with and a little more durable....cost is what I'm mostly worried about.
Anyone ever tried anodized Aluminum to a copper finish???? that might be an option here too...no?
You can anodize aluminum with a copper color, which may be cheaper than going the solid copper route. It's not going to have the same properties as copper, so you probably won't get any tarnish, so in that case there might not be any benefit over just painting it.
And what about Bronze, Spidey? It's an alloy of cooper and tin, with cooper as base and tin in proportion of 2% to 20%.
Pending on the final total quote, i'm interested.
Thank you very much for this chunk of pic, now I can see the real calculator pad with the real colors
Just talked to the Machinest, and he is looking into a Copper Alloy....for price.

News: Tagged as FF Tundra
FF Chartwell and FF Tundra In-Use: Huawei Project
In our latest "In-Use" case we caught up with the team over at Berlin based communications agency Blumberry to chat to them about their latest project in which FF Chartwell and FF Tundra were a saving grace.
Who was your client and what was the topic of this project?
Our client was Huawei Technologies Germany GmbH, one of the leading suppliers of telecommunication solutions employing more than 150,000 people across 140 countries.
The project, named "Germany and China - Perception and Reality" was carried out in cooperation with the renowned German Institute of Global and Area Studies in Hamburg (GIGA) and the market research institute TNS Emnid in Bielefeld. Its aim was to examine the perceptions that Germans and Chinese have of one another in order to identify stereotypes before assessing them in a scientific context. In other words, what perceptions do the different nationalities have of each other and can they be refuted by facts?
Huawei had initially ran the study two years previous and so were keen to compare these results with those from the new study. However to use both lots of data to create a large, graphically and scientifically complex document that could be made accessible to a wider audience without hindering the scientific element of the content presented us with quite a challenge.
- How many people were involved?
As a team we were required to handle all aspects of presenting the survey results, and so during peak periods we had up to 15 people on the team.
Our responsibilities included the programming of the study's microsite, implementation of a lavishly staged exhibition of the study results (in the form of an Experience Walk) and the production of collateral such as posters and bags.
- How did you decide on the layout?
The layout of the previous study was a great help. From this we were able to quickly see what worked with the data and what could be improved. We initially tried several versions of the layout, from the multi-column to single-column pages, as we wanted to avoid the graphics and text appearing to have no visible connection to each other. Instead, they should relate to one another and not inhibit the flow when reading the text. Against this background the one-sided layout proved to be the most effective.
- How did you choose the typefaces that featured in the final project? And in what way did the chosen typefaces help with production of the document?
We made the selection of typefaces very early on in the design process. We tried and tested multiple typefaces, including a sans serif typeface that is defined in the design manual. However, in continuous text weaknesses were obvious instantly – after all this particular sans serif typeface was originally designed for "way finding" and not for ease of reading when used for lengthy texts. For this reason, it was clear that we needed a serif for such an extensive study. Moving from the expressive FF Yoga and FF Tisa, we finally decided on the very reader-friendly FF Tundra by Ludwig Übele. FF Tundra's quality in single-column layout with above-average long lines, made it the perfect choice for the study's text.
For the development of the study's graphics there was no way to avoid using FF Chartwell by Travis Kochel.
With its focus around numerical data we hoped that FF Chartwell would save us an enormous amount of time. We had only a few weeks to build a variety of graphics from a data bundle of more than 1,000 pages, of which many of them contained graphical information and statistics.
Once we had all of the necessary data identified, extracted and excess material removed, the clear simplicity of FF Chartwell was very welcome. We would even go as far to say that had we been without this "chart tool" it would have been an even greater challenge to deliver on time.
Within a study of this size it is easy for mistakes to be missed. A graphical tool, such as FF Chartwell, helped to keep these errors to a minimum, because it works "only" by entering numbers, which as a result made the entire process less error prone.
We were also very grateful for FontFont's detailed documentation on FF Chartwell as well as the useful tips and tricks from FontFont's Jens Kutilek's video tutorial. As a result even our consultants could proofread the entire study and make corrections via InDesign's simplified mode without having to be taught about OpenType features first.
- What was the theme for the illustrations?
The style of the illustrations was closely coordinated with that of FF Chartwell – simple, clear and concise. This resulted in simple icons that clearly illustrated the content without lacking details.

Ludwig Übele on the origin of FF Tundra
Definition of Tundra: sub-polar regions found north of the Arctic timberline and characterised by permafrost
Ludwig Übele on the origin of his FF Tundra typeface. The original article, in German, appeared in Typographische Monatsblätter.
"Five years ago, I saw a page of text from St. Augustine's The City of God. It was hand set in the Bremer Press's 12-point Antiqua face and had been printed in 1925 at the Bremer Press in Munich. I was thrilled. The even colour of the text on the page fascinated me, as did the balanced lines of readable text and the liveliness of the letters. How did this typeface manage to do all that? How should a typeface be designed so that it can lead the eye so perfectly along each line of text?
Two years later, I picked up the question again. At that time, I was thinking about condensed text faces. Condensed types are popular because they save a lot of space; they can bring about a better line-wrap in narrow columns. For headlines, they are naturally advantageous, because they can pack more information into a line. Admittedly, condensed faces are usually more difficult to read, since their narrowness allows for less differentiation of form. They squeeze the text image too much and present a more monotonous appearance.
Generally speaking, a typeface has two directions: the horizontal movement of the line, which helps move the eye forward during the reading process, and the vertical 'picket fence' effect. Vertical strokes in close proximity to one another are so loud, visually, that a monotonous grid develops automatically. This looks very much like the fences found around gardens or yards. Too much emphasis on the verticals bores and tires the reading eye and slows down its natural movements, because too much information is pressed into a line (with extended typefaces, the opposite occurs: the eye travels at a faster speed than it can actually read at). My conclusion after this consideration was as follows:
A condensed type must suppress the dominant vertical strokes by emphasising horizontal movement. In order to preserve their specific character, particular detail must be paid to the rounded forms.
How could I bring both directions – the horizontal and the vertical – together in the best possible way? The question brought me back to the Bremer Press's Antiqua, because in my opinion, this typeface did just that.
The beauty of The City of God is primarily brought about by its perfectly-tuned typography: point size, line-spacing, and line length. The typeface itself is relatively broad and spaciously set. Due to multiple width versions of the letters f, r, s, t, ch and ck, word spaces could be more easily balanced. Asymmetrical serifs in the reading direction lead the eye forward and support the band-form effect of the lines. Flat shoulders and open apertures emphasise the horizontal. Would it be possible to bring these features over to a condensed type, and minimise the dominance of the vertical strokes?
FF Tundra is not an extremely narrow typeface, and it should not ever become one. Rather, it is intended as a versatile and usable serif face. It is compact and space-saving, offering great readability in small sizes. Short ascenders and descenders allow for tight linespacing, which is particularly advantageous in magazine design. Like the Bremer Press Antiqua, I gave the letters in FF Tundra's first draft asymmetrical serifs. These looked pretty good on the lowercase letters. Uppercase letters are constructed differently, however. They are more static, and do not have the same written dynamic that lowercase letters do. For the uppercase letters, it did not make any sense to only have serifs on the top-left and bottom-right sides; the letters looked mutilated, and the missing serifs contradicted the logic of the uppercase forms. I decided to give the typeface serifs on both sides of each stroke, as is typical.
Rather untypical for condensed typefaces, however, are the serif forms that made it into in the final typeface. These are strong – almost cantilevered. The round bracketing on the serifs gives the vertical strokes an elegant conclusion and diverts the eye towards the reading direction. The serifs tie the individual letters together, so to speak. And – perhaps more importantly – they limit the vertical extent of the typeface. Particularly along the baseline and the x-height, they form the edges of a band that gives the lines of text a calmer feeling.
For the reading process, the area between the baseline and the x-height is the most important: this is where the most complex parts of the letterforms are found, and these are the elements that give the typeface its unique character. In order to further strengthen the horizontal flow, the letters's shoulders and joining stokes have been flattened. The apertures of the rounder letters are robust and open. Due to their minimal stroke contrast, the c and the e appear as if they have come out of a sans serif design. The rounded outstroke of the t is sturdy and flat. The outstrokes of the a, d, and u run directly to the baseline. The thickest parts of the curves are not at the left and the right, but have been pushed to the top and the bottom, in order to create a light northwesterly axis.
Overall, the forms have been drawn to fill up as much space as possible. Because of this, when the typeface is set in small point sizes, FF Tundra appears larger than it actually is. The r is not a cropped n, but rather an independent form. Contrary to the other letters, the transition from the tail to the stem is rounded. This references related forms, like the c and the f. The top half of the g is larger than is common. The sweep of the strokes in y and j are projecting and ample. The tail of the J, on the other hand, tapers out in a similar fashion as the Q. K and k are each made up of two separate forms. The lower legs feature serifs on just one side, which is nevertheless strengthened on the left, to increase stability. The same is true for the foot of the R. In general, all diagonal strokes are tapered towards an internal acute angle.
The italics also follow the principle of the best-possible line formation. Their lowercase letters feature real serifs at the top-left, whereas their outstrokes at the bottom-right are the sort of rounded forms typical for italics. Nevertheless, these are still somewhat flattened in FF Tundra. f, p, and q have calligraphic terminals. The base of the z points diagonally downwards, referencing its written origin. Even the diagonal letters v, w, and y are zestfully formed.
FF Tundra is available in six weights. The specific letter construction model is particularly beneficial for lighter styles. This might be due to the moderate stroke contrast. Because of this, I drew an Extra Light weight, in addition to the Light. In the Extra Light, the stroke contrast is lessened even further. In my opinion, many of the finest contemporary serif typefaces are designed with too much stroke contrast. Maybe this is a result of careless extrapolation.
FF Tundra includes multiple figure options, including proportional and tabular oldstyle figures as well as superiors and inferiors. The loops of the 6 and the 9 are open. A slashed-zero is available via an OpenType feature. Also available via the OpenType features is an automatic substitution mechanism for problematic letter combinations. The f will be replaced with a narrower version when it is followed by specific characters – usually accented letters – that would collide with it. There is a beautiful g-y ligature, too."permalink
FF Tundra takes a starring role in the newly redesigned 'stern'
Newsstands in Germany have looked a little different since March 14, 2013 – the day the redesigned stern magazine premiered. A weekly news magazine, stern is one of the major journalistic publications serving the German-language market. Whenever a well-established brand changes its appearance, typography and typeface selection are two of the many factors to be considered. In this case, stern decided to use FF Tundra as its main text face. While this is just a small element of the magazine's new guise, it plays the most essential part of its reading experience.
The typography of the redesigned stern appears quite objective. A number of typefaces are used throughout its pages, but each font has a specific role to play. The magazine is printed on brilliant white paper, with most text being either black or red. Aside from FF Tundra, stern also uses Kris Sowersby's Metric typeface. That family may be found in sub-headlines and image captions, for instance. A condensed sans serif with rounded corners, Soft Press by Patrick Griffin is used on the magazine's cover and for the drop-caps at the start of articles. This has something of a woodtype poster feeling, but the letters' rounded corners also tie into several currents common to contemporary digital design.
The headlines for most of articles inside the magazine are set in Nimbus Roman by URW++. Like Metric, Nimbus helps root stern's typography in a German graphic design tradition. It calls to mind the paperback covers designed by Willy Fleckhaus for the Suhrkamp publishing house in the 1970s.
FF Tundra itself is a rather new creation. Designed for FontFont by Berlin-based Ludwig Übele in 2011, FF Tundra was intended for magazine-setting right from the drawing board. The principal tenant of its design is its stress on horizontal movement. FF Tundra's letterforms are rather narrow, but their long, flat serifs seem to stretch them out somewhat. The curved elements of some letters have been simplified and flattened. This increases the size of the letters' counterforms, which is a common method to improve legibility, as well as strengthening the horizontal-ness of the typeface. A pleasant effect of FF Tundra's reinforcement of the horizontals is that its letters appear to push the reader's eye forward across lines of text.
Since FF Tundra is stern's new text face, it appears throughout the magazine in just a single point size. The features of its family are however employed in full. FF Tundra's Italic is used in articles when necessary, as is the Bold weight and the fonts' oldstyle figures.
As is common for European magazines of its kind, stern is printed on gravure presses, instead of with an offset lithography technique. Gravure printing really allows colour photographs to look their best, giving them more depth than offset presses typically would. stern uses a thin coated paper stock, like that seen in many gravure-printed magazines. While the combination of gravure printing and this stock are great for images, they can really kill text; offset printing allows text to be printed much more clearly and sharply. Designers specifying typefaces for gravure printing must be extra careful, and it is here where the decision to apply FF Tundra to the redesign really pays off. Despite all of the little dots that appear around each letter – a typical hallmark of gravure printing – the images of FF Tundra's letters remain clean and readable.
This redesign of stern was coordinated by the magazine's editorial team and supported by the art director, Johannes Erler (a FontFont-designer in his own right), as well as by Luke Hayman from Pentagram's New York office. Ludwig Übele also revised the new logotype for stern. We'd like to congratulate the stern design team on the successful stern redesign, and for selecting FF Tundra in the process.

In-use: FF Tundra featured in Peek & Cloppenburg
FF Tundra is now a trendsetter!
Peek & Cloppenburg KG, the international fashion and lifestyle retailer have recently relaunched their online presence. Part of the new design includes one of our newer typefaces, FF Tundra.
The Hamburg-based brand and e-commerce agency Medienwerft was responsible for the Peek & Cloppenburg project. At the heart of the redesign is the positioning and presentation of Trendmagazin, an online and print publication that features seasonal trends, the absolute must-haves and exclusive deals and offers. FF Tundra Web Extra Light Italic is featured through the publication and on the Trendmagazin section of the website.
What is particularly noteworthy about the use of Ludwig Übele's FF Tundra in this project is the contemporary elegance of the italic that manages to master the high demands of the fashion industry. It is present when it is the central point of focus, yet it also steps discreetly into the background when needed. A perfect model that is certainly en vogue for more than just one season.

New release: FF56
FontFont designers have been recipients of prestigious type design awards, but few can claim to have been even before their creations were officially published. Ludwig Übele's FF Tundra — a recipient of a Certificate of Excellence in Type Design at this year's TDC2 competition — is now available for licensing. Other new releases are Jörg Hemker's versatile sans FF Sero; the informal cousin of the popular FF Mister K; a monospaced variant for FF Nuvo; and stencil versions for the Danish sans/serif type system FF Signa.
The new designs
FF Sero
FF Sero – Jörg Hemker's versatile sans FF Sero combines the striking forms of an American grotesque with the legibility of a humanist sans serif typeface. It has open contours, a distinct x-height and a homogeneous grayscale value. During seven years of development the classic letter forms have matured into a balanced, sovereign typeface. Eight harmonized weights and an extensive character set allow for a flexible and versatile typography. Cyrillic and Greek characters provide an extended language support.
For a limited time, FF Sero Medium is available for free download in OT, Offc and Web formats. Download it on the Goodies page.
FF Tundra
FF Tundra – Ludwig Übele's award-winning design FF Tundra is a narrow serif typeface with stressed forms and soft contours. The idea evolved from investigating how a narrow typeface should look for optimal readability. To avoid a fence-effect, FF Tundra emphasizes the horizontal line. Ludwig Übele combined strong serifs, flat shoulders (see n) and open but heavy endings (see a, e, c) with a moderate contrast to achieve a balanced, legible typeface with a certain softness and humanity. FF Tundra has been designed for continuous text, but is also suitable for magazines and headlines (especially the Extra Light) and will surely work in newspapers as well. The family consists of six weights from Extra Light to Bold, each with Italics and Small Caps and many OpenType layout features.
FF Mister K Informal
FF Mister K Informal – This new design by Julia Sysmäläinen is the latest offspring of the FF Mister K font family. It began in one of Kafka's Quart Notebooks with handwritten texts that look astonishingly clear. The letter forms are carefully placed line after line but still reveal the author's characteristic writing style. There is a simple explanation: These are final, rewritten texts. The first version — loaded with heavy editing and correction marks — can be found elsewhere in Kafka's literary remains. The strong personality of FF Mister K is often appreciated, but some designers find it too unpredictable for down-to-earth target groups. So enriching the K Family with a clear, friendly looking member derived from Kafka's stylistic repertoire seemed predestined by the users' needs.
FF Nuvo Mono
FF Nuvo Mono – Siegfried Rückel expands his magazine typeface FF Nuvo with a monospaced variant for all weights, including Small Caps and Italics. This offers new options for traditional and unusual designs. The design retains its stroke endings with "chipped" corners, which make them appear soft when seen from a distance or in small point sizes, but reveal their peculiar forms at a closer look. However its x-height was lowered somewhat in comparison to FF Nuvo to emphasize FF Nuvo Mono's typewriter character. The calligraphic touch in the characters a, g and y make this typeface stand out among other typewriter-like faces, as do the alternate characters for a, g, k, s and y, which add typographic versatility.
FF Signa Stencil/FF Signa Serif Stencil
FF Signa Stencil/FF Signa Serif Stencil – Ole Søndergaard's stencil faces can be used to produce actual stencils, but more often than not they are selected for their unique aesthetic. It is fascinating to see how separate "floating" fragments combine to form recognizable character shapes. The way those letters are cut up gives a stencil design its specific character. FF Signa — a typically Danish typeface — is rooted in architectural lettering rather than book typography. This sans serif of concise letter forms and a minimum of detail joined the growing collection of sans/serif type systems when the serif variant was added in 2005. Now both versions are available as stylish stencil designs.

FF Info
FF Info Text, FF Info Display, FF Info Correspondence Pro – Erik Spiekermann's and Ole Schäfer's FF Info Office is the typeface Erik Spiekermann himself feels should be more popular "because it works well on screen and is really cool but nobody has found it behind the larger FF Info Text and Display families." It has been renamed FF Info Correspondence to avoid confusion with the Office font format. The complete FF Info family, one of the best wayfinding type systems, has now been upgraded to Pro language support and has been carefully fine-tuned.
FF Profile
FF Profile – Martin Wenzel's FF Profile is one of the more beautiful humanist sans serifs in the FontFont library. This clear, uncluttered and attractive family based on the broad-nibbed pen was already available in OpenType Pro format. Its character set was expanded to include Greek.

What is sumatriptan injection (Sumavel DosePro)?
Sumatriptan is a headache medicine that narrows blood vessels around the brain. Sumatriptan also reduces substances in the body that can trigger headache pain, nausea, sensitivity to light and sound, and other migraine symptoms.
Sumatriptan is used to treat migraine headaches and cluster headaches. Sumatriptan will only treat a headache that has already begun. It will not prevent headaches or reduce the number of attacks.
Sumatriptan should not be used to treat a common tension headache, a headache that causes loss of movement on one side of your body, or any headache that seems to be different from your usual migraine headaches. Use this medication only if your condition has been confirmed by a doctor as migraine headaches.
Sumatriptan may also be used for purposes not listed in this medication guide.

Billie Jean's Biography
Cause of Choice: World TeamTennis and Women's Sports Foundation
Making the Deal: She started the first professional women's tennis tour by getting nine players to sign one-dollar contracts.
Working Doubles: She worked two jobs to pay her way through college. It was pre-Title IX and no sports scholarships were offered to women.
Getting in the Game: King saved up to buy her first tennis racket at age 11. It was lavender and she was so happy that she slept with it at night.
Billie Jean King first learned tennis in the late 1950s on the public courts in Long Beach, California. The game ultimately took her farther than she could possibly have imagined. King's hard-charging style of play won her no fewer than 39 Grand Slam titles. She played largely against her own towering standards, later reflecting, "I'm a perfectionist much more than I'm a super competitor. And there's a big difference there." By the end of the 1960s, King was already speaking out against a longstanding—and, at the time, growing—disparity in prize money awarded to men and women. Her drive for equal opportunities helped establish the Virginia Slims Series and the Women's Tennis Association. King presided over the creation of the WTA when she organized a 1973 pre-Wimbledon meeting to unite all of women's tennis in one tour.
Of course, all of her work on behalf of women's opportunity and equality in competition came together in one beautiful moment when she beat former men's champion Bobby Riggs in 1973's famous "Battle of the Sexes" match. In 1974, King co-founded World TeamTennis, a pioneering co-ed professional league, and the Women's Sports Foundation. She was a 2009 Presidential Medal of Freedom winner and has long been a pioneer for social justice. For Life magazine, she was one of the "100 Most Important Americans of the 20th Century." For Martina Navratilova, "She was a crusader fighting a battle for all of us. She was carrying the flag; it was all right to be a jock."

text: Since watching my observation hive get established again this spring I have noticed things that worry me a bit. When it's cold and rainy for a day, let alone three or four days, the hive often runs out of pollen and honey to feed the brood and some often starves. With my observation hive, it's easy to feed them some honey or syrup, but not so easy to feed them pollen. Since watching this I've been trying to feed pollen and syrup when the weather is not so good to my new packages. I don't think it's as much of a problem with a hive that has stores, but it's a real problem with a new package. I have always found hot (hot enough it won't burn your finger) syrup to be taken up better on cold days, so I think I'll try feeding more on chilly and rainy days to packages starting oout, both pollen and syrup.

Very predictable in here.
It's hard to get excited when the big shot , your #1 is a OT/G, good pick though, a big need. and a pick of NO apparent need in still valuable 4th round of a QB, who will hold a clipboard for the next couple years (barring Eli catastrophe), though he seems like real value & upside, a capable backup-how many games are Carr going to win in a playoff run w/ Eli going down. So All in All, a balloon deflating, but needed & probably wise draft, truly testing "in Reese we trust" IMHO
Pretty much.
It's always odd when I know each and every pick of the other NFC East teams, but don't know our own. Not even upset. Just would be nice to play football games now that this forum is about to explode.
I'm not excited about anything or anyone. I really don't expect much from anyone with the excption of Pough and thats becuase he's an immediate upgrade and i'm sick of deihls bs. I think we could have scored some solid players, but I don't see them being all that effective, but than again I'm not a scout, I'm just a man with an opinion that quite litterally means nothing. I'm usually right though.
The most surprising thing about this draft was every pick the G'men made I was surprised at who they selected. I think I scrunched my face up too, weird!
It was an odd draft for the NFL not just the Giants.
I like our draft. We addressed both sides of the line and added value at the end. I don't even care what people think about Nassib. The Giants know what they are doing. If your pick wasn't selected then there was probably a good reason for it. These guys interview the players. They see more film than us. They have more data and metrics than us. They understand the Giants direction better than us.
I'm just excited for these new guys, and I can't wait for the new season to begin. I feel MUCH better about our D and O lines.
Let's get it Giants!

|About the Book
|About the Author
In her most ambitious novel to date, Ann Patchett takes readers to the lush, alluring, and transformative Amazonian rain forest. The story of one woman's journey into a modern heart of darkness, State of Wonder measures the bounds of friendship, and explores both deeply personal and wider ethical questions about the choices we make in our lives.
Marina Singh is a forty-two-year-old doctor who, for reasons that come to light in the course of the novel, eschewed private practice for the safer cocoon of drug research. Working for a pharmaceutical giant in her native Minnesota, Marina has compartmentalized her life with a dispassionate sense of order. Her only small act of indiscretion, a quiet love affair with the starchy Mr. Fox, her company's CEO, is itself the picture of propriety. Marina's carefully constructed world is shaken, however, when her officemate and friend, Anders Eckman, is reported dead from a fever, contracted while investigating the company's field work in the jungles of Brazil.
In a request freighted with emotional complexity, Mr. Fox asks Marina to travel to Manaus to ascertain the details of Anders's death, and also to report on the progress of the jungle research being conducted by the brilliant, imperious Dr. Annick Swenson, who has been withholding pertinent information about the project. Marina is reluctant to go, not only because of the danger and discomfort of such a journey, but also because she has a complicated past connection with Dr. Swenson, once her much admired, if feared teacher in medical school. Still, she goes, both out of sense of duty to Mr. Fox and the company, and because she feels she needs to find an explanation for Anders's unnecessary death for his wife and young sons.
Suffering the effects of an anti-malaria drug, Marina begins to have wild, frightening dreams that churn up unresolved childhood fears involving visits with her father in the crush of his native India. The dreams continue once she is in Manaus, where she tries to track down Dr. Swenson. Connected at last, Marina defies the rebuffs of the older woman-who exhibits no memory of any problematical past association with her erstwhile student-and travels upriver with the doctor to the camp where the research is being conducted. Accompanying them is a young, deaf, native boy-Easter-who wins Marina's heart, as he apparently won Anders's before her. Even the prickly Dr. Swenson is not immune to the intelligent boy's considerable charms.
The research camp that Dr. Swenson has built among the Lakashi Indians proves a place both fearsome and wonderful, populated by exotic flora and fauna, infested with worrisome insects, and weighted by a canopy of oppressive heat and humidity. The carefully guarded drug study, Marina comes to learn, involves the bark of an indigenous tree that seems to extend the fertility of the Lakashi women, allowing them to conceive into late middle age. It could prove a scientific breakthrough with virtually unlimited profit potential for Marina's firm. But Marina discovers some startling facts about Dr. Swenson's research, and is faced with peril and impossible choices.
With lush, evocative prose, Ann Patchett vividly brings to life the dark, haunting, alien world of the jungle, a marked counterpoint to the spare, icy landscape that has shaped Marina's cosseted perceptions. Patchett has wrapped a profound and moving exploration of large themes-courage, moral choices, the clash of cultures, friendship, love-around a gripping adventure story. State of Wonder is a career-defining book for the writer the New York Times has called "generous, fearless, and startlingly wise."

STUFFED Beer can chicken is a summer favorite.
Beer makes everything better, even food. And not just as an accompaniment to food, but as food.
Cooking with beer is fun and can add flair to just about any dish. Beer is versatile enough to be used with most cooking techniques: marinating, grilling, baking, frying, stewing, poaching, simmering, braising, and beyond. When liquids are called for, beer can generally be substituted.
While many have cooked with wine, the same is not true for beer. This is curious since often the ingredients in beer are more appropriate in the kitchen. Hops provide bitterness, malts sweetness, and the yeast produces a fluffy and tender texture. Even in small amounts, beer can have a profound impact on a dish's flavor.
This is important to remember since flavors become concentrated when boiled down and beers have a tendency to act as a bittering agent. Pairing with sweet vegetables or adding honey can overcome this obstacle. Similarly, including thickeners like flour or gelatin can help to offset beer's natural tendency to thin out a recipe.
Given beer's carbonation, it's often a good idea to whisk out the bubbles beforehand. That said, you do need to use fresh beer; flat beer is never a good idea. And don't worry about serving any of these meals to little Jimmy — alcohol evaporates when heated.
But what type of beer is best to cook with? For starters, don't cook with a beer you wouldn't drink. Much like when pairing beer and food, I prefer to use lighter beers with lighter dishes and heavier beers with more robust meals. Dark, malty beers are typically easier to cook with versus a hop monster or another extreme beer.
Most of the cooking that I've done with beer has been with meaty entrees. Beer is especially useful in these situations since it can tenderize, flavor, and even sanitize the meat. I'm not the only one who has figured this out; beer-battered fish is a brewpub staple and beer can chicken has made repeated appearances on the Food Network.
But for me, where else to start but with beer brats? I use six ounces of my homebrewed Porter to simmer some bratwurst and chopped sweet onion (which has already been browned) for about 15 minutes, or until the liquid is reduced to a syrup. The brats can be served alone on a bun or as a side along with the onions. Just about any beer will give the sausages more flavor than cooking them in water, but I really love how the sweet malts give a depth to the taste of the brats.
My wife also has an exceptional recipe for BBQ-Stout ribs. The rub is made up of a few different basic spices and the barbecue sauce. Along with an onion, three cloves of garlic, and two bottles of Stout, cook the ribs and remaining sauce in a slow cooker on high. Six hours later you will have some delicious ribs that just fall off the bone.
I've cooked with lighter beers as well, such as cod poached in Pabst Blue Ribbon. As you might expect, you don't taste the beer in the fish since there isn't a whole lot of flavor to begin with. Not a huge deal with PBR, but generally, if I'm going to pour precious beer into my food, I want to taste the beer!

You guys would miss the boat I swear if it hit you broadside....
This thread is George's cry for help. Deep down, he is crying for assistance and needs this thread to fill a void. He's done this sort of thread before, entitled "Delete Me". Back then, the diagnosis was not understood, and the pain went on for week after week. But today, we have a better understanding of "bee sickness". Its called CCD. Its where bees leave the hive and get lost and can't find there way home. In Georges case, he's already at home. He's just "lost".
I wanted to just add a smilie and see if anyone would pick up on it. But now the site forces you to enter a number of characters.
This one's for you George....
Very observant Bjorn, I'm impressed. However to be honest, I did not start the "Delete Me" thread though I did, with many others, contribute to it. I'd love to take credit for that thread but it was Harry who started it..
>This one's for you George....
Thanks Ace
Dulcius ex asperis
Sigh...all this just flies right over my head. Thanks for the explanation Bjorn. Else SOME of us, would miss the jokes around here!!!
I think we need a "mute user" button too.
This would limit how much we need to use the "delete post" button.
Though, I'd be the first one everyone would use it on.

Reviews of this property
We had a very nice stay and felt welcomed at any time. On our arrival Lemonade was served to us and coffee every morning for breakfast. Everything was like discribed in the offer and everything was clean.
The room is about 2.5 km away from the old town, to which you can walk, if you like some sport (especially on the way back) or go by bus (line 3, station Hebranga 4 or 5)
Nikolina and her husband were very nice and helpful. Our apartment was small, but cozy and clean. We had a nice little bathroom and clean towels. On the big terrace we enjoyed our beer in the evening and our coffee in the morning. :)
If you have luggage, take a taxi. The street is very steep.
Very friendly hospitable host. Yery clean freshly renovated room in an old charming stonebrick house with a big garden and an even bigger terrace with sea view. Easy parking directly in front of the house. We can warmly recommend to stay with Nikolina.
Everythingw as fine.
The room wa very clean and everything was modern.
Nikolina wasn't there, when we came, but her mother was. She welcomed us with a selfmade limonecelli. Really nice.
We would recommend the appartment.
We really enjoyed staying at Nikolina's room. The room was comfortable and clean with private bathroom and outside there was a nice terrace which we could use for meals with a nice view over the city and further to the sea. The area was usually very quiet. Around 20 minutes walk to the old city and 10 minutes walk from the nearest supermarket, the walk back up can take a little longer since there are many steep steps. Last but not least, our host Nikolina and her family were very friendly, giving us assistance and information when needed.
If you are going to Dubrovnik and would like to stay in a quiet area and not so far from the old city, I would definitely recommend this room.
Very nice old stone house in a quiet location, rooms were very clean and cool. The two landlords were very, very nice and helpful. To town about 15 minute walk; Bus station in the immediate vicinity. The house has 3 outdoor terraces which are allowed to use.
Sehr schönes altes Steinhaus in Ruhiger Lage, Zimmer waren sehr sauber und kühl. Die beiden Vermieter waren sehr, sehr nett und Hilfsbereit. Zur Stadt ca 15 Minuten zu Fuß; Busstation in unmittelbarer Nähe. Das Haus verfügt über 3 Außenterassen die man nutzen darf.
Our arrival was a bit complicated because it had rained the wet road and the car could not get up the hill (25% gradient). Upload finally we got up and the stay was very nice. Very basic but clean room and very comfortable bed; She had even a fridge. It was a shame the weather did not accompany them because the garden looked very nice.
The apartment is about a 15 minute walk from downtown, there is a bus stop but the beginning of the costs and frequency of buses is every 20 or 30`.
Nikolina was very friendly and attentive; our stay was very nice.
Nuestra llegada fue un poco complicada porque habia llovido y con la carretera mojada el coche no conseguia subir la cuesta (25% de desnivel). Finalmente conseguimos subirlo arriba y la estancia fue muy agradable. La habitación muy sencilla pero limpia y con la cama muy comoda; tenía hasta una nevera. Fue una pena que el tiempo no acompañara porque el jardin tenia muy buena pinta.
El apartamento esta a unos 15 minutos caminando del centro, hay una parada del autobus pero está al inicio de la cuesta y la frecuencia de los buses es cada 20' o 30`.
Nikolina fue muy amable y atenta; nuestra estancia fue muy agradable.
I was with my 6 years old son for three nights at Nikolina.
The rooms are very well maintained and clean. Nikolina, the owner is very hard, is very polite and helpful.
My son is often played in front of me in the morning out of the room and has on the ground with the friendly cats and discovered a freely running turtle. He thought it was great (and I). We were more or less the whole day in and around Dubrovnik road, then looked forward to after a long day in our room to return. Rarely so a clean bathroom experience on vacation. For this I must say, all rooms are newly renovated.
Thank you Nikolina!
Greetings from Germany
Paulina and Leon
Ich war mit meinem 6 Jahre altem Sohn für drei Nächte bei Nikolina.
Die Zimmer sind sehr gepflegt und sauber. Nikolina, die Eigentümerin gibt sich sehr viel Mühe, ist sehr höfflich und hilfsbereit.
Mein Sohn ist oft vor mir schon morgens aus dem Zimmer und hat auf dem Grundstück mit den freundlichen Katzen gespielt und eine frei laufende Schildkröte entdeckt. Er fand es super (sowie ich). Wir waren mehr oder weniger den ganzen Tag in und um Dubrovnik unterwegs, freuten uns dann nach einem langen Tag in unser Zimmer zurück zu kehren. Selten so ein sauberes Bad im Urlaub erlebt. Dazu muss ich noch sagen, alle Zimmer sind frisch renoviert.
Thank you Nikolina!
Greetings from Germany
Paulina and Leon
Nice little room was clean and tidy and we enjoyed to stay there. The
hosts are very friendly and helpful. About 20 min walk to old town but the bus station is only 3 min away.
Great place, nice garden, nice owner. However, a steep climb on foot to the center. Parking is not always easy. Had trouble finding it. Tip: on the right after Adria Dubrovnik aankomstweg the first best road diagonally right down (steep). Recommended stay!
Prima plek, mooi tuin, aardige eigenares. Wel een flinke klim lopend naar het centrum. Parkeren niet altijd even makkelijk. Hadden moeite het te vinden. Tip: op de aankomstweg Dubrovnik gelijk na hotel Adria het eerste de beste weggetje schuin rechts naar beneden (steil). Aan te raden verblijf!!

TULSA, Okla. — A put back by senior Arianna James with .04 seconds left in the game gave McNeese State to a 72-71 Southland Conference victory over Oral Roberts on Saturday.
McNeese (19-9, 5-3 SLC) placed four players in double figure scoring and was led by 15 from Caitlyn Baggett. Alaina Verdin and Allison Baggett both scored 13 and Ashlyn Baggett scored 12.
ORU (8-10, 5-3) led 71-70 with 25 seconds remaining but turned the ball over. James grabbed the rebound of a missed jumper by Caitlyn Baggett and scored on the layup for the winning basket.
ORU called a timeout to set up a play but Caitlyn Baggett stole the ball at half court as time expired.
Taylor Cooper and Jaci Bigham both scored a game-high 20 points for ORU.
McNeese shot 40.3 percent from the field and was 11 of 13 from the free-throw line. ORU was 47.2 percent from the field and 57.1 from 3-point range.
McNeese took the lead early and held on to the lead through the first 3 minutes of the game. The Golden Eagles scored the next eight points, including two 3-pointers, to take a 13-6 lead with 16:30 left in the game. McNeese came back with two straight 3s to cut the lead to 13-12, but ORU went on a 5-0 run to extend its lead to 18-12.
ORU built its largest lead of the game of 11 points with 6:14 left, but McNeese cut the lead to four points twice late in the half on a 3-pointer by Allison Baggett the a layup by Caitlyn Baggett with 3:14 left.
ORU ended the first-half scoring with a Cooper 3-pointer for a 42-35 lead.
The Cowgirls will host Stephen F. Austin on Wednesday at the Lake Charles Civic Center.

text: I bought my truck with just the standard AM/FM Stereo radio. I'm in the process of replacing the right door speaker, no issues, I've found the cheap exact replacements through: MN Electronics.com. I removed the mounting bracket from the blown speaker. Behind the driver & passenger seats in the upper pillar, there is a grille for rear speakers on each side and the wiring is already present. The radio I have does not indicate in lettering a "fade" control. Though, the knob behind the tuning control does rotate and has a center position. My questions are, if I hook up a 4-ohm speaker (the speaker I removed from front door indicates it's a 4-ohm system) will there be power to the rear speaker at all? Also, what speaker size physical dimensions (OEM) fits in the rear pillars? Thank you

I have a colony that is very populated in two deep brood chambers. I have been reversing since late Feb. About two weeks ago I added a medium super of foundation. A week later they had drawn and began storing in about half of it. I rearranged the existing one and added another one. As of yesterday, they had drawn and were using all but two or three frames in supers above. I then added a deep super, (6-drawn 3-foundation. Our main nectar flow doesn't even start for another 2-3 weeks, and these bees seem very motivated. Ideal situation right?
I was only able to inspect 5 frames in the upper brood chamber before they had to be closed up. They were getting pretty defensive, and I don't like working with them when they are distressed like that. I noticed 3-4 shallow queen cups on the bottom of some frames. None had eggs or larvae. Does this indicate that they plan on swarming?
I have three other colonies that seem to be building up normally for this time of year.
I'm somewhat still a beginner and would like to know if I'm managing these bees properly. If not, what should I be doing to keep them from hanging in a tree.

Hide lines
In the small town of Hershey, Pennsylvania there lives a young man who goes by the name of Hugo. He hails from Portugal, but you wouldn't guess it from his accent. He wears baggy ripped jeans, giant sneakers, hoodies, and headphones so big they take up a lot of his face. He looks like a hoodlum, but Hugo is the unlikely barn manager at a local farm I stayed on for the second leg of my stay in Hershey.
I first met Hugo bright and early Monday morning. I'd wandered down to the barn after breakfast to visit the horses and met Tommy, who helps in the stables, and offered to help bring horses in and out, muck stables out and help with feeding etc. He was a little baffled but introduced me to Jesse and Hugo, stating that if I came back that evening around five my help would be welcomed.
And help I did. Morning and night, I was there - bright eyed and bushy tailed while Tommy, Jesse and Hugo patiently let me get in the way. I'm sure I slowed them down but over the next three days they introduced me to each horse, the alpacas, the dogs, cats, goats and donkey. They let me feed them, bring them in and out and we talked and sang along to the radio while we cleaned stalls.
Something was obviously wrong. I had come all the way to the United States to visit a friend in Halifax, and yet every morning and come evening time I would appear in the barn, in my scrubby clothes, ready and willing to do whatever I could to distract me from the rest of Chocolatetown. And to their credit, or because they were boys, they never pushed me for an explanation. They offered a few manly words along the lines of 'sometimes things get rough, it'll get better' but for the most part they continued on as usual, letting me get in the way, and it was a salvation of sorts. A distraction. And a big help.
I don't know any more about Hugo than what I've told you, and I will never speak to him again, most likely. But he, Jesse and Tommy got me through a really tough time and they don't even know it. So for that I thank them.
On paper, had I been visiting that friend from Halifax on a whim, being in the States anyway and randomly passing through, it would have been fine. It would have been a good effort on his part. We went out, we visited wineries, had dinner with his family and they set me up with a map of the game lands for my solo hike.
Unfortunately, though, I wasn't there anyway on a whim. I was in the country specifically for this visit. He'd known I was coming for a year. I had been reassured all was fine. And then when I arrived, the excuses started. The things I'd been promised to be included in but was suddenly not welcome at, all came out of the woodwork. The drive between towns was suddenly longer than my 20 hour flight. And I was alone.
Some might say it was the coward's way out. That of all the ocres, it was the medi-est. In an effort to be diplomatic, I'll let you tell me what you think.
Sometimes there is no point arguing with someone. Sometimes someone truly thinks they have made a stellar effort. That they are so important and busy, and you are such a giant hassle, that what they've done is truly top notch, and you should be thankful.
It's fine. I didn't take time off work to see you either. Nor did I fly 16,000km and spend a lot of money. Except that I did.
There is nothing left to say.
You cut your trip short. You get in your car. You thank Saint Hugo for his kindness and you drive away. You do not stop through four states, through the shadow of the Shenandoah Mountains… til you find yourself in Charlottesville, Virginia. At Ms Kat's door.
Don't ever let anyone tell you that you aren't worth a 25c text message that 'isn't included in their plan'. I don't know why I did.
You are worth infinitely more. "Don't ever be someone's slogan. For you are poetry."
