The inclusion of the mandatory and deceptive "resort fee" tainted my entire experience at the Hilton Hawaiian Village. The "resort" amenities offered no additional value to me yet were not optional. What's more, the one "resort" amenity that I did use, wireless Internet, was terrible and unusable; just loading Gmail timed out continuously. I ended up using my phone as a hotspot because it had better throughput. The charge for parking was yet another bait-and-switch and was not included as it is in other hotel's resort fees. As a matter of principle I will not recommend this hotel to others nor stay there myself if Hilton continues this deceptive practice.
Alyssa was very helpful in helping us to switch our rooms and we do appreciate her very much. We started off on the wrong foot from the moment we arrived, having to wait over and hour to check in. Yes it was the weekend of the marathon and we understand that but, for the first 45 minutes they had only 3 people checking in the regular guest and only 3 checking in the Hilton elite. After they put another 3 on each side the line moved much quicker. On top of this we had booked a king bed but when we go to the room it was 2 queens and by this time we didn't want to go back to the front desk and wait even longer. They did end up moving us for our second night, but it's still frustrating when you have to move in the middle of your trip. On top of this the beds aren't what i would expect when i'm paying $375 a night..super hard and could almost feel the spring in one of them....needless to say we won't be wasting our money next time we visit Oahu.
Fireworks show. Location on the beach. Access to 4 lovely pools. Array of shops and restaurants. Dated rooms. Decrepit walls/paint fixtures. Missing furniture in my room? Elevators really old.
In a pinch because of an ice storm, we had to find a room before our reservation at the Hale Koa started. Hilton was close, so we picked this hotel. So expensive. Perk was we could walk to our hotel the next day. Room was lack luster for a $300 room. And that's all we had really. Super busy and hard to navigate with luggage with all the people swarming around. Waste of money. Breakfast buffet is good but so expensive, and another $35 charge at check out for what? We only stayed one night, and that was one night too long.
Everything was great! The beach was beautiful, 5$3 staff, facilities, location was excellent! The pools were overwhelming, crammed with people. Also, the hot tubs always has children playing in them and were unattended, they weren't very relaxing. An "adult only" hot tub or sauna would be an added bonus! We weren't the only couple frustrated by this.
Loved the small lagoon, kiddie pool & water slides, Our suite was clean & spacious with amazing view. Check in was awful-it took over 30 minutes to check in. Huge lines were forming and not really sure why since reservations were already made. Also annoying was the fact that you were given cards to get towels- however they failed to mention that you had to return them otherwise you would have to pay a. $10 per card!!! we usually do express check out just so we don't have to deal with front desk again.
Staff were absolutely wonderful. We even had a bellman refuse a tip and a staff member on break offer to help us. Magnificent and gorgeous property in the heart of everything. This is a very large property with several buildings and can get crowded. It is rather easy to get lost also. Attentive staff and service more than makes up for that. It is a large property with several buildings so it can sometimes feel like a factory. It is also easy to get lost. However top-notch staff make the difference. We did have a misunderstanding about what kind of breakfast we got for a prepaid fee and where it was located. We were told we should get a full breakfast. Vouchers said continental breakfast in one building - staff told us to go to a different restaurant (mistake). Again, staff made everything ok.
Wonderful relaxing atmosphere! Nice walking path along the beach, good variety of restaurants, beautiful views & grounds, staff was very nice Main pool is dated, looks 1970s, MAIN COMPLAINT: NO Room Service. What major hotel resort has no room service? I was disappointed. food is pricey. Go to a market & get waters, fruit snacks etc. & save $
Bathroom had a sliding door and no fan. No privacy.
I liked that the location is close to the water Much needed room renovations are required in addition to better cleanliness. Parking in the hotel which is required if you have a car is way over priced and even more than the price to rent the actual car. Another resort fee is added at the end which covers items such as yoga and do not apply to everyone is applied. Fine a different hotel that would be your best bet
Loved it was walking distance to a lot of things. Liked the resort feel. Romantic and family beach. Nice walks on waterfront. So crowded it's hard to get around in car.. Person kept knocking on the wall when we would have tv on past ten( I didn't feel it was up very high since no one could talk and hear tv at same time). Very expensive hotel. But again,you must pay to be on waterfront. Sand was odd on resort by water like it was poured to make a actual beach there.
Hotel staff, bars, main pool, being right on the beach. I had requested Diamond Head view with the package I bought, and found that I wouldn't get that on arrival BUT the guy that checked us in did find one albeit on a much lower floor but still fantastic view and that made my 50th birthday very special. Drink pricing different in different bars! The resort fee baffles me, no idea what that is actually for. Staff were great and the Pronto Pickle was a life saver after a very full day of sightseeing and touring! Great staff in there too, and we could take hot food to the room with a couple of drinks from the ABC! :o) sitting on the balcony watching the sun go down. Nothing better. Check in seems an incredibly slow process and there's little point to the 2 lines for HH members. However, the staff do not let you leave the check in without ensuring you have every bit of information you could want. All very patient staff. Pricey hotel, resort fees, and parking fees, and beer! However, the cost of cocktails were a welcome surprise! The pools are all in the shade by 5pm, which is such a shame.
The style of the hotel was very chic and contemporary. Nice quality and style. The staff are very friendly but need more training. The service was clumsy - not 5 star quality. I was told that this was Honolulu and to drink tap water when I asked about bottled water for our room. I had to keep asking for bottled water, which is complimentary, but forgotten in our room more than twice. My other requests (bath products, champagne in room on arrival) were not carried out accurately. They didn't refill the bath products and when they did the turn down service, they removed the dirty bath mat but did not replace it. We often stay at the Mandarin in Tokyo where the service is simply perfect. Lots of kids in the pool which I didn't expect but at least all of the parents were extremely attentive and polite to us.
The hotel was extraoridnarily clean and you hardly ever saw the staff; but should you need someone of something they were there very quickly to assist the concierge was perfection and the bell captains were super helpful...This hotel made our honeymoon fabulous everything was perfect
very comfortable yet stylish. welcoming shell lei warmed my heart at the check in. simple but well designed kitchen made me want to stay longer and enjoy cooking. the pancakes i ordered for a breakfast at the cafe at the lobby was pretty salty. i was not familiar with pancakes being salty...
Staff was very professional and catered to every need View is slightly obstructed below the 17th floor but still has amazing sunsets, everything else was perfect
The pool is really nice! The rooms were luxurious and the staff were very helpful. It's close to the beach, but not on it. The TV's need an upgrade. It would have been nice if the pool was open later. We watched people swim from our balcony at another hotel while ours was closed.
Historic, iconic hotel, still the best Nothing
My girlfriend and I agree that The Royal Hawaiian is our go-to hotel for our stay-cations. We LOVE it there. It's hard to even consider other local hotels. The staff, the facilities, the service, and the way that the hotel feels secluded even though we're in the middle of Waikiki... there's so much to love about this place. This is our second year in a row staying here, and we'll definitely be back. Mahalo to everyone there for continuing to impress us. This space intentionally left blank. :-)
The beach the ambiance Everything else
Excellent location for beach access, shopping and dining.
The staff was wonderful and the Mai Tai bar was a great place to sit and watch the sun go down. Rooms were very comfortable This place is expensive, it really helps to be in the mindset that you aren't bargain hunting when you stay here. If you are here in peak season and want to take advantage of beach chair or umbrella rentals you may want to book them before you are onsite.
Have dreamed of staying at the Royal Hawaiian for many years. The vacation more-than lived up to expectations. The adjacent mall and food court provided entertainment, shopping and reasonable meal choices. Mid-week was peaceful and serene. By the weekend the place was filling up with lots of tourists. Can't believe how many people were in Waikiki in general.
Location is tops, literally the best part of Waikiki Beach fronts the hotel. Amazing history, second only to the Moana Surfrider. Very romantic, but not much stuff to do for kids. AC in historic wing could be better. Pool is very small. Not sure why families bring kids here, they'd be much happier at one of the bigger resorts (including the Sheraton right next door).
Décor of main hotel was impressive however the waterfront tower that we stayed in was less than impressive. Without the oceanview it would rank average to poor. Pool attendant was rather rude.
Though we were in the heart of Waikiki, it did not feel like we were anywhere near the hustle and bustle that is the Waikiki of today. It truly felt like a getaway. Service was stellar, the staff was friendly and attentive, the setting and atmosphere can't be beat. You've spoiled us; we can never stay in another Waikiki hotel. TRH is the one for us. Minor gripes about cleanliness. Found a charm and a bobby pin left by previous room occupants, and toilet had a few hairs and spots also from previous occupants.
Really good rooms and service. The gym was not good!
on the beach They charge for a beach chair 45.00 daily. very crowded at pool and pool is very small.
The hotel itself is quite beautiful. Though there is a very small pool, the pool deck is very comfortable and private. There is a fabulous view of Diamond Head on the beach. It's also not a mega hotel, so the number of people wasn't too overwhelming. The delicious muffins were a very nice touch, as well as the staff attention on the pool deck. Great location. Our room seemed small. There were too many reasons we had to call for help, including repairs to the room and keys not working. All resolved, but annoying. I don't think a hotel of this caliber should be having these kind of problems. The price tag is very steep and I wasn't convinced it was worth it.
Loved the staff, very friendly. Location was conducive to getting around Waikiki, and picking up buses around town. Zip car located across the street. Great views on either side of the hotel. Free continental breakfast and internet were very nice plusses. Gym is pretty lackluster. Not the worst I've seen, but, could have been better. Though, they did say new equipment was incoming, so, may be better now. Wifi was a little spotty in the guest rooms.
Valet parking only. Also it just wasn't anything close to what I was expecting when I booked a four star hotel.
Nothing Room service was inedible, room was tiny, rude staff, further from the beach and activities than expected, overpriced, THE Smallest pool. Additionally when I asked where the pool was the concierge replied "the pool is for guests only" assuming I just wandered off the street or something. Overall just rough stay. Definitely would not recommend.
Only stayed one night and spent most of our time out, as you might imagine......but the time we did spend in the hotel was great.....the staff and facilities were excellent!!! Would definitely refer you to a friend.......
room service was pricy and was not great only complaint 200 bucks was only worth 30
Friendly staff.
I found the hotel itself and the staff and rooms very good. Large tv and a nice little balcony and large bathroom are above average for most hotels. Hotel I found did not match up to the exterior picture and is so very different from the other local Hilton. It is away from the beach and in a busy road traffic area away from attractions. Ocean view room is from a distance over parking lots and between buildings. In room WiFi is about $10 a day and no buffet breakfast or bathrobe.
Room was clean and fresh. Liked the available beach towels and the children enjoyed the pool in the evening. one block to the beach. Friendly and helpful staff. Resturant was ok, typical of hotel restaurants, would recommend going out for better food. Good for family in need of quick food. Breakfast pancakes are huge for one child (adult menu). Found free wifi slow, not much faster when we paid for 24 hours.....
Nothing Mac 247
Only a block from Waikiki Beach. Nice clean hotel with friendly staff. The swimming pool did not look very clean.
Location. Great business center. No free WiFi
Hotel is two short blocks away from Waikiki Beach. Very convenient location. Only specific complaint was the lack of sound proofing. We were on a low floor and heard all the street noise as well as noise from surrounding rooms.
We can only say wonderful things about the Halakulani Hotel. It is beautiful: from the rooms to the gardens, to the wall-less reception desk, and common areas. The food in the restaurant, The House Without A Key, and room service were superb. From our room it appeared the waves were breaking under the hotel. What a georgeous optical illusion. But...the best part was the people and the service they provided. We were always greeted warmly and our name was always used. Every question was answered. For example, we admired a flower in the garden and asked what was its name at the concierge desk. Flora is certainly not their specialty and they appologized for their ignorance. About an hour later we receive a knock on our door and the anser was delivered in a folder with a 10 page print out on the flower in question. We loved the little gift left for us each night after room service turned down or bed and the welcoming gift when we arrived of the chocolates and fresh fruit. I hav...
We stayed from Friday to Monday and it was the perfect setting for relaxing and being treated well. We spent most of our time on the lanai so that we could soak up the Diamond Head and ocean view. The nightly music at House Without A Key was audible from there as well. We love everything about Halekulani!!!
Aloha, We stayed at the Halekulani for a week in January 2009. The service was consistently excellent. Wait staff, bell boys, concierge, maids, room service - every single employee we encountered went way above and beyond to make sure our needs were met, and then some. That said, the hotel rooms and furnishings were something of a disappointment. The decor seemed tired and worn, and even the mid-range rooms were small. On the whole, the hotel interior seemed to have seen better days, and would not compare favorably to hotels on the mainland at less than half the price. Still, the service and the food made up for that deficiency, so we still felt like we got our money's worth. We would absolutely return to the Halekulani, were we to visit Oahu again. However, our next visit to Hawaii will probably be to one of the other islands, simply because the town and its architecture, like the Halekulani's interior, seem to hold on to their glory days of the 60's and 70's, maybe through inerti...
the staff know us by our last names and they are very friendly and professional. Ture aloha spirit. When I asked for hot water the first day, the second day they gave me an electric pot so that I can hot water anytime. Excellent in attending to details and very sensitive to guess' needs. It's pricy, but you will feel like a king staying there. Excellent location but not noisy. The room is spacious and the amenities are top of the class. I even ran into a few movie stars there.
A beautiful hotel situated right on the ocean. The views of the water and Diamond Head are fantastic, and the proximity to restaurants, shops and other things to do is terrific. If you just want to lounge by the pool, the chairs are very comfortable and the staff incredibly helpful. The service overall is simply out of this world. They can help with any kind of arrangement, from rental cars to running and hiking options. The rooms are beautiful and sitting out on the patio was a great way to end the day. We absolutely loved our stay in paradise!
The reviews I've read did not do it sufficient justice.... This Impeccable, immaculate, unique facility with it's extremely extraordinary, phenomenal hosting was superb. I recommend this place to every and any one who wants quality....7 stars and two thumbs up :I)
Beautiful hotel, excellent location. Would definitely recommend Halekulani for luxury and vip service.
We stayed for 7 night's this Aug 2009 it was one of the best places we have stayed at .The service is top notch and the people really care about your satisfaction while your there. The buffet in the morning is a can't miss great food and service. We are already planing our return trip in the very near future. We also booked a privite island tour while we were there through the hotel and it was fantastic . We went to places you would not normally see through a regular circle island tour this is one I would recommened to everyone if you can afford it!! Anthony was our driver and he shared the island culture and some hidden places on the island it was great we were out for over 6 hour's and saw the entire island. Be prepaired it is expensive but if you want the best you have to pay for it. Enjoy!!
Breakfast buffet is a little poor considering its cost $30 per person
Great to get away from it all and have the satisfaction of beingm taken care of at all times, moose mcgilicuddy's is a great palse to relax of lewers St.
This is an amazing hotel. Georgeous, and classical all at the same time. If you can't afford to stay there, at least stop by and have a cocktail at sunset!
- Interior design and grounds right on the beach - Adults-only pool - Friendly, professional service - Great hotel entrance - High speed elevators - Rooms were clean and good, but not luxurious - Resort charge of $31/day seemed steep for wi-fi usage - Breakfast buffet of $28/person was overpriced for the quality
The adults only infinity pool. Amazing!!!! 10/10 The location 10/10 This is my second time staying here after visiting 2 years ago with a friend. The most trip with my fiancè. The price seems expansive however I can assure you it's definitely worth it. The pool and location best in Waikiki. We had a standard city view room. And the room was a decent size with all standard features. The location and adults only pool, make this the best hotel I've stayed at. They also have a great kids pool if traveling with a family, with slides. Loved everything.
We stayed in an ocean view room. The view from our room and the pool was lovely. Great room service. Soft linen. Nice tv. Room is just ok for the price. Infinity pool for adults only. Internet connectivity in and out.
Great last minute stay here! I was really bummed that on the day we checked out, we couldn't use the pool at all. Didn't get to spend a lot of time there, because check in the day before was not until 3pm.
Adults only Pool. Beautiful room. Great Bar service at pool. drunk lady from Chicago in Pool.
Overall very gd!! Infinity pool was perfect! Our room card was not working eventhougn we have not rven checked out. So we wasted our time wating security and got new card etc..
The line to check in/out was very long.
Even though it was only 1 night. It was amazing! I've stayed at the Sheraton Waikiki before and each time it just keeps getting better and better.
View, location, pools, spa options
The beach and the warm ocean breezes The service was excellent. Traffic and congestion in Honolulu.
Pool. Water front. Restaurant. To many workers trying to get you to sign up for timeshare. No family in bathroom.
Location, restaurants, room, pool, hot tubs Price
Nice views and great location in Waikiki. Not much going on at night or at the pool. Not even music at the pool.
Key location to other touristy areas Way too much emphasis on Timeshare resort purchase!
Being charged resort fees at the hotel when I was told in my reservation / confirmation email there were none.
Excellent stay overall.
Valet service, Maint, check-in was great. Didnt like the room too much...had cityview...but not city just a wall ..also was on 3rd floor.
The room was very nice and the comfortable. We ate at the Kani Ka Pila Grill 2 evenings and for 1 breakfast. Everything we ate was very good and the service was good. The Mai Tais were awesome. Be sure to go for Happy Hour, great food and drink prices with live entertainment. There is more live entertainment in the evenings.We heard 3 different groups and all were excellent. We were disappointed in the Shore Bird Restaurant. The mai tais were so good at the grill that we ordered them here and were very disappointed. We regretted ordering the buffet. It was okay but not for what we paid (even considering island prices. Can only hope ordering off the menu would be better. It is very difficult to walk in the water in front of the hotel, water shoes are highly recommended. we later learned that just down the beach it was a sandy bottom. Wish someone had shared that with us,
Located right on the beach with plenty of activities avail. Much more secluded and private compared to downtown. I think this location is more upscale compared to the other Outrigger Beach. We did have a great view of the pool and could leave the door open for the lani then listen to the nightly entertainment. Everything to eat and shop is in walking distance. They were very welcoming upon arrival with a cool towel and a mango drink. The staff is very accomodating and friendly. This is for sure my go-to place in Waikiki. The only think I could say.... Would be the servers poolside. I gave him my money and it took about 15/20 mins before he came back with my drink.... I ended up going to the bar myself the rest of my stay and the bartenders were excellent, friendly, quick, and much better.
Nice and clean modern bathroom Beds were just awful and uncomfortable... Spa was not a high value experience
The bathroom had a bidet! Noise, overpriced, busy, the shops on site staffing was unfriendly, too service food was horrible and they only serve till pm
I liked everything. The room was beautiful, the view was spatscular and the staff was always friendly. I did not plan on all the hotel and parking fees and the front desk was able to work with me by signing me up for the club membership and giving me a military discount. I will deffeintly be coming back and reffering everyone to this Hyatt!
I liked the fact that the view for the room we had was pretty comforting. We were able to see the ocean and close to the other shops. It was walking distance from many restaurants and overall me and my other half had a great time. I didn't like the fact that there wasn't a microwave. However there was an alternative to make hot water using their coffee/tea machine. But that's minor compared to some other hotels we've been in.
We liked the location on Kalakaua Ave. across from Waikiki beach and walking distance to restaurants, shops and entertainment. The pool is small for the size of the resort but we had the beach so we made it work for ourselves.
King size bed, quiet/clean room, n location perfect walking distance yo beach n shops
It has pretty nice view and close to beach. I booked the room which has king bed and ocean view. But when I visited hotel there was no room of right that. I heard that my wife and I gotta stay 2 single bed inspite of we were in honey-moon. Staff in hotel told me "We do NOT guarantee the room type whatever I booked the room via Kayak." I claimed 3 times but nothing changed. Finally we spent more money($25 per night) to upgrade king-bed room. I wanna say u guys going to stay this hotel "They do NOT guarantee the room type."
Everything That we had to leave so soon haha
I enjoyed checking out of this hotel and telling them how I felt about our stay I liked none of this experience
The hotel is great. It is clean with a friendly staff and located very conveniently. My only complaint and my warning for folks booking here would be that the price is definitely not what you see. I booked my rooms on Kayak and paid in full at booking. When I got to the hotel I was told that there was a $30/ day + tax charge for staying in the hotel. To self park in the hotel parking garage is $35/day or you can valet park for $37/day. The additional $65+/day adds up quickly. Just a heads up. Otherwise the hotel was lovely.
Nice location and only steps to beach!! Lots of activities and shops. Bathroom was not properly cleaned on arrival. :(
All of it
Terrific location, terrific service
Close to beach and multiple shops and dining. Rooms could use microwave
The location is acceptable and very close to the beach. Depending on where your room is located you might be impacted by the pool activity and noise. I didn't like the fact that you get a room rate online, but when you arrive there are extra fees (Resort Fee $30.00 a day, and if you valet park a vehicle, it is $37.00 a day). The fees are not necessarily hidden, they are just not posted on the daily rate schedule. You find out when you are checking in. I have stayed in Honolulu many times and these fees are normal for most of the hotels. Hence, it would be better to show all of the rates and fees that are associated with your stay, so that you can make an intelligent choice in your selection of a hotel,
Closeness to the beach When we arrived to our room, the city view was a view of the parking garage, actual a parked car was about 3 feet from our window. It was NOT a city view which I booked. When we called the front desk, we were advised they were completely booked and had no rooms available elsewhere. (We looked online and it did indicate there were rooms available for the night in a better location.) We were told we would be upgraded to a partial ocean view, but not until the next night. Also, there is an additional $30 charge per night for staying at that location, we were not advised of that until we were checking in. We also had to pay an additional $47 per day for valet parking which we also were not advised of until we checked in. The rooms are run down and carpets are old. In the high traffic areas the carpet had creases in spots, enough to cause us to trip. We had a negative encounter with one of your valets, we lost the valet ticket that was on the key, when we returned, they made a big deal of it, told us that we should have kept it on the key ring. Not good customer service especially after charging $47 per day!!!. This is a Marriott Resort and we booked it because of the name and our expectations were not even remotely met... Marriott should evaluate this location, both the desperate need of renovation and some of the customer service. If it's not going to be renovated soon, then charging appropriate hotel/motel rates and advertise appropriately.
- proximity to beach - known hotel chain - based on the positive reviews and high price, I thought this would be better; - first time to Honolulu - I thought the location would be better; - move on - there's lots of better choices
Location, Bar and restaurants, hotel layout. Parking and resort fee add over $60/day.
I liked that it was in the center of all the action and right by the beach
Everything! Especially the Beach/Waterfront! It was walking distance from the hotel and EVEYTHING else...Love it. I booked this trip as a father's day present for my husband and to celebrate our 31st wedding anniversary...loved everything! No much....
I liked the location of the hotel and the area around it. There was a lot of people staying whhich even though it had multiple elevators it took a long time to get from floor 1 to 31.
I LOVE the new renovations they are doing here. I really enjoyed my stay and will be back for sure. Comfortable beds, great showers, beautiful views. Friendly staff ! It was wonderful. The 35$ breakfast cost. It was a surprise to me to pay that much for breakfast.
When you go to Wikipedia and look up Waikiki, there is a picture of THIS hotel! If you book an Ocean-front room on a higher floor in the Eastern-most tower, you'll have the classic view most can only dream of from your balcony or even inside the room. Besides the obvious beach across the street, within a few blocks walk, you'll find dozens of restaurants and high-end shops, as well as the Honolulu bus transit line. Timely response to the only need we presented was commendable. Wifi worked well, also. Room service neglected to replace the coffee pod on one of the days the room was cleaned. We didn't notice until the following morning when it was time to make coffee. When visiting the fitness room, one of the two elliptical trainers had a broken display. This made it impossible to use in any mode other than manual.
It was so close to the beech and shops
I booked this room for my elderly parents for their first vacation in Hawaii. Paid for a partial ocean view room, and got only a slice of ocean. They were given the worst room possible in that category. AC unit outside room was extremely loud which made their sleep miserable. I feel sorry for them and regret booking this hotel. But the damage was done.
The view was amazing.
The updated room was very nice. We stayed on the 37th floor and we had a fabulous view of Diamond Head and the beach. The beach is literally right in front of the hotel. The location is great. It is within walking distance of everything you need. This hotel is a great value for the price. Overall, I would definitely stay here again. The lobby needs to be updated. It was clean but the decor looked like it was from the 80's. They need to update it like the rooms. The elevators were a bit of a hassle. There were 4 of them and one was not working. The ones that were working seemed to have a mind of their own at times.
For the money not a nice hotel room. I would not consider it a 3 star hotel, more like a 2.
Love every second of my stay. The staff was very accommodating. Whether you're a visitor from another state or country, they treated every guest equally. And we were visiting from another island. My favorite was the huge Aquarium and the swimming Mermaid.
Location! Great view and clean Outdated decor is easily overlooked for a clean low priced room
I loved it all. Room was comfortable. Great location. Beautiful hotel.
The food was excellent The bed was very comfortable The room was very clean The front desk staff were on top of it The room was over-priced for its size and location/view The hostess at the restaurant told us we had to wait 30 min for lunch sitting but didn't tell us we should have made a reservation so when we lined up at noon she told us we'd have to wait another 30 min Too much furniture in my hallway. Not elegant
From the moment I walked in the door, I fell in love with the old beach vibe. The understated luxury just oozed from the place. The staff was amazing and always attentive to our needs from dinner plans at check in, offering a hospitality suite after check out because we had a late flight. Truly amazing experience and 100% worth the price tag!
The pool is very small, opens late and closes early. The beach umbrellas $50 a day and also close too early. One or the other should be open at least till sunset.
Everything was first class, from check in to check out. Very nice to have the complimentary Beach Club. It's a no hassle, take care of guest resort. Once inside and on beach, you do not know the hustle and bustle of Waikiki exists
The location and retention of the old architectural features in the lobby. The rooms were average at best for a Westin. Everything was a bit dated.
Location was amazing. Staff were very friendly! Pool is not the nicest.
Pretty much Everything! Pool and beach seating was very limited
Great location with great views. iPad in the the room was a cool touch Considering the cost of getting a room at Moana Surf, I expected the room facilities could be upgraded (ie...shower and other parts of bathroom
The staff were incredible and helped so much. Our flight was leaving late at night and they let us use a hospitality room to shower and get cleaned up before we left for the air port. The staff at the restaurants on property were fantastic, epically Omar at The Beach House. It's a quiet gem in crazy Waikiki. Nothing.
When we first pulled into the valet, I reached for my bag out of the back of the vehicle and was told, "Please let me get that. You shouldn't have to lift a finger here at the Trump." That sense of service and attention to detail defined every aspect of our stay. The facilities and service were top notch.
Location, cleanliness,amenities,value No dislikes
Smack dab on the beach in the best part if Waikiki. Staff was super friendly. Pillows were the best. Pool area too small.. Difficult to get a chair. Piol, hot tub closed too early. Bar so crowded difficult to get a place to sit.
The staff was amazing!!! Everyone was willing to go the extra mile to help out. The location is amazing and in the heart of Waikiki! Wifi Connectivity is limited to 3 devices and customer support cannot change this. The lack of a full bath tub was disappointing.
Centrally located hotel with a very popular restaurant/bar located on the ground level. This is a very busy hotel that lacks a "real" lobby. Some people might not even notice this, but it may the stay feel odd, sort of unofficial since the only time we interacted with any staff was when we checked in.
Comfortable, clean, and excellent location. Hotel restaurants are good and have a great view of Waikiki beach. The gym is almost nonexistent.
Excellent location. Nice that there is an available laundry available. Decent size rooms. Friendly staff. Not crazy about Duke's. Mediocre food and service. Pool area is on the small side.
Great location on the beach. Some of the staff tried but didn't know basic things. Elevators have a strange call system and are very slow and crowded.
Courtesy room to be used after you check out (30 minutes on a first come first serve basis). Large and comfortable room. Service from Staff was outstanding. Daily parking fee, breakfast was just OK. Slow and small elevators.
Its location was excellent - easy walking distance to key city attractions
Staff is super friendly. Suites are roomy and having separate living room is convenient when partner wants to rest. Market street shopping and numerous restaurants are right out the door of hotel. Beach and other resorts are across the street. We have stayed here six times and will return again.
Staff was excellent Beds could have been more comfortable
The Modern is off the beaten trail and appreciated how relaxing the atmosphere was. The pool area is beautiful and calm, and if you need to relax further the sunset pool is just the ticket. All restaurants and bars are excellent in the Modern too.
Love it. Honolulu is known for old resorts and hotels. Modern's building isnt really new, however, all the internals have been renovated so that it feels "modern". Great stay for young hip couples. Parking is a little expensive. $35 and they charge you everything you get your car in and out. Other than that, we had an awesome experience.
Beautiful hotel. Study bar is nice with good cocktails, rooms are nice and housekeeping is good. Difficult to find space at pools and they don't have chairs on the beach. During peak times like Christmas / NY it makes it tough to secure space. Service at the restaurant by the pool was very slow. Painfully slow... I would return but challenged to stay there again @ $500/ night unless everything is perfect.
The hotel is nice. The views are pretty. The staff were courteous and helpful. It's clean. The location downtown is close to most everything. It's not on the beach, which isn't a deal breaker, but I wasn't feeling the "Hawaiian vibe". It just wasn't there. Everything closes super early, even the hotel bar and it's all sub par, nothing too fabulous. I guess the word I could use that would fit this hotel is generic. It's not holiday inn generic, but it's definitely not worth the price, the parking fees, or the resort fee. I didn't feel like I really fit in too well either. If you're a tourist to Hawaii and you'll barely spend time at the hotel, this is the one if you're willing to pay the price. I also didn't feel like I fit in here. If you're coming from Japan though, you'll fit right in.
The spa is awesome. We spent 2 nights here, it doesn't worth the money. The hotel in Wakiki is generally expensive, but if you want a 4 star experience, choose hotels like Sheraton or Westin. Need to pay extra for wifi, parking, even water after first night. The room is quite small for a 4 star standard.
Close to everything in Waikiki but not in the midst of the resorts Dirty stain/spot on floor in bathroom next to tub was there every day even after cleaning. All else was nice.
Out of waikiki, room views
Everyone on the staff is super helpful and friendly. The rooms are immaculate and the view is amazing With the Renovation Discount it was about Half price maybe even less than half and absolutely an great value Nothing
Whenever we asked for service, (maintenance, engineer, housekeeping), they came within 5 minutes.
The hotel was under renovation but the staff was so amazing. It totally made our stay. Will surely stay in the future.
front desk staff, courteous professional bar staff, main lobby friendly helpful
It is a fantastic facility. I enjoyed my stay Nothing I didn't like
The rooms are well appointed for Hawaii, location is fantastic and close to everything you need in Waikiki. Construction noise was a pain. They start work from 7am so couldn't sleep in. The wait for the lifts was also slow but not too bad if your willing to have a chat with some of the other guests.
Staff couldn't be more friendly or helpful. Very accommodating. 1/2 block from Beachwalk Room smelled musty, other guests smoked in their nonsmoking rooms.
Didn't have a bar but there were plenty in the neighborhood
Proximity to beach and shopping Request for a delux ocean view prime room with king size bed was not handled well. Room with king size bed was not available on arrival even though room was booked in February 2010.
Good location, comfortable bed, very good location easy access to the beach and lots shops and restaurants around. The hotel staffs are friendly and helpful. The water of the shower is a little bit small, but is ok.
it is convenient as it s close to the beach and the shoppings and the restaurants/ food court. The hotel is clean and nice/ comfy. THe staff is attentive and show that they care. Good words about William who works at the conceirge who was really helpful and was willing to help us in many ways. I really appreciated his help. really good that they offer free internet use. the toilet is too small and abit squashy.
Staff went above and beyond to make sure our stay was enjoyable!
Ocean view + staff awkward bathroom too ight
Friendly staff and close to the beach.
Nice room, nice hotel. Cocktails in lobby in the late afternoon. We were told at reception that they had stopped including free parking, even though our reservation paper said our price included free parking. It was resolved in our favor then and there.
The hotel is at the middle of Waikiki. It's not right by the beach front but less than 5 mins walk. The hotel is very clean. The bed and pillows is clean. Kamaina free parking Slow internet connection
Service was great and staff very friendly and helpful. Not beachfront and the room I was in was a little bit in need of an update.
Close to beach - staff tried to be helpful. Location fine for shops. The loading bay for neighbouring hotel was next door resulting in lorries parking and unloading throughout the night. Very noisy indeed.

Mom arrested for making Ex-Lax cookies
A mother who helped her daughter make Ex-Lax laxative laced cookies to give to a teacher that gave her a low grade was arrested Friday afternoon. The students left the cookies on the intended victim's desk but the teacher shared them with students instead of eating them. At least four seventh and eighth grade students became ill.
Yea I thought this myself, but still look at the parenting there. Ok, my son/daughter got a low grade, rather than using this as an example to discipline my child and teach them the importance of school and studying, let's just give the teacher who GAVE you (cause we all know underacheivers don't earn bad grade) the bad grades a bunch of cookies to make her have diarreha.Originally Posted by Method
But still all in all pretty funny she got arrested for it.
Now that's funny. Reminds me of summertime when I was 12 when I got this stuff from a joke catalog which was basicly a very very potent diuretic and I poured 2 vials of it in a friend of mines soda. Lets just say it worked beautifully.

A small smile appeared on the young girl's face as she listened to the high-pitched sound coming from the whiffle ball. The sound helped the elementary student locate the ball after her classmate hit it from a specially designed baseball tee.
Both of the students are blind. On a recent afternoon, they were in a classroom at the University of Colorado Boulder's Integrated Teaching and Learning Program and Laboratory testing toys designed by first-year engineering students. The students are enrolled in CU engineering instructor Seth Murray's freshman projects class.
"It's a great experience for the students because they learn a lot about basic engineering design and testing, how to manufacture prototypes and they get to work with clients," Murray said.
This particular project required student teams to design playground toys for children who are blind. Each team had eight days to complete the task, which includes having a test model for the children to try out during the demonstration in the lab.
"This project originated because it is needed by physical education teachers and kids," Murray said. "PE is something that a lot of blind students in the country get excluded from more than they should. As engineers, we're trying to develop solutions that help people and this project is a great fit."
Rachel Gudenzi and Katherine Powers' team worked to design a tether ball that would be safe for blind children. Powers learned a lot about the difficulty of taking a product from the lab to real life.
"It's really different when you're thinking about what someone is going to do with your product, and then when you watch them play with the toy you developed you see that they might do things differently than you expected," Powers said.
Murray said he enjoys teaching the class because it gives students a good example of what engineering is really like.
"Engineering is building prototypes and testing them, and working with customers to figure out what they need and then meeting those requirements," Murray said. "These are freshman engineers so they don't have a lot of experience in design yet, but this project gives them a big dose of it."
Overall, the project also shows the students the value of teamwork.
"One of the things I learned was that you have to work together to solve problems," Gudenzi said. "Through out the rest of our entire careers we're going to be working with other people to solve different problems and taking everybody's ideas into consideration is the biggest thing that I have taken from this class."
Murray directs the College of Engineering and Applied Science's Undergraduate Engineering Management and Entrepreneurship program. The program, which works in partnership with the Deming Center for Entrepreneurship in the Leeds School of Business, helps undergraduate engineering students leverage their technical knowledge for business success in today's highly competitive global marketplace.

Hey Everyone,
New guy here, well relatively new. I've been luking in the background for the past several months soaking up the wealth of knowledge TDH has to offer. This forum has been THE place when it comes to ideas and helping me along with my own Jango project (about 75% complete). My first attempt at a Jango, before I found this forum, was a disaster. As soon as I was dressed and had everything on...bits and peices and chunks started falling off. You folks have been a tremendous help since then and my Jango Fett is slowly coming to life.
I am currrently puttting the finishing touches on a Mandalorian variant. Imagine if you will crossing Boba Fett with the soldiers from HBO's World War II series Band of Brothers. If that didn't help at all (and it probably didn't) I do plan on posting pics here very soon.
The final missing peice of my variant design is a suitable backpack. The character in question does not wear a jet pack (doesn't like to fly). I WANT to outfit him with a modified clone commando backpack, but can't find one. Besides ebay can anyone think where I might locate one of these hard-to-find packs (finished or kit form...does not matter to me)?
Thanks in advance. Again, I hope to have pics up soon and look forward to your opinions (no matter how brutal they may be). Take care and I'll be screamin' at ya soon.

Johns Hopkins Institute for NanoBioTechnology hosts teams of students to travel to foreign countries to apply their engineering skills to solve local problems through a program called Global Engineering Innovation. This story, featured in the Johns Hopkins Gazette, describes one of those projects in Nazaçu, along the Amazon River in Brazil: the design and production of a safer cassava mill that reduces the risk of injury. INBT has also hosted teams in Tanzania and India.
Said program director Jennifer Elisseeff, the Jules Stein Professor of Ophthalmology at the Wilmer Eye Institute: "This program has enormous potential to have students visit various communities around the world to design and solve real problems that can help people in their daily lives."

Gary trade helps Bills make cut to 53 [9:00 AM]
Buffalo News reports: '"As good as drafting McGahee was for the franchise, it obviously wasn't going to be good for Olandis' playing time, whenever Willis comes back," said Gary's agent, Frank Murtha. "Olandis' goal through all this was to go somewhere to get playing time. Detroit is an ideal situation. They have an immediate need."'
Bills' receivers coach catches new challenge [8:59 AM]
Buffalo News reports: 'Cancer hasn't killed Graves. If anything, it helped spring him back to life.'
Bills trade Gary for draft pick [5:38 AM]
Rochester D&C reports: 'Olandis Gary, we hardly knew you.'
Lions get Gary as insurance [5:37 AM]
Detroit Free Press reports: 'In the three years since then, injuries and the Broncos' ability to turn out productive running backs have worked against him. By the time he returned to health in 2002, the Broncos had uncovered two more productive runners -- Mike Anderson and then-rookie Clinton Portis -- and he became expendable.'
Lions acquire Gary in anticipation that Stewart may be out longer than they hope [5:36 AM]
Booth Newspapers reports: '"Olandis Gary is a player we brought in in the off-season and considered signing him as a free agent. He's a veteran who has played well in the league," Mariucci said.'
Bills Trade Running Back Gary to Lions [5:34 AM]
Reuters reports: 'The Lions were desperate for a running back because starter James Stewart is expected to be out for six weeks with a dislocated right shoulder.'
Bills trade Olandis Gary to Lions [5:33 AM]
The Sports Network reports: 'The Bills already have an emerging star in the backfield in Travis Henry, a capable backup in fourth-year player Sammy Morris, and should be activating injured rookie first-round draft choice Willis McGahee later in the season.'
Bills adjust roster [5:33 AM]
The Sports Network reports: 'Buffalo parted ways with defensive ends Grant Irons and Marcus Jones, quarterback Jason Johnson, running back Ken Simonton, defensive back Scott Turner and wide receiver Rodney Wright.'

Big jump in record unlikely in today's NFL [8:21 PM]
ESPN reports: So, which teams will leverage their last-place schedules into a breakthrough season? The most likely candidates are a pair of 8-8 teams from the competitive AFC East and AFC West Divisions. Buffalo, at 8-8, was last in the AFC East, while Kansas City was 8-8, last in the AFC West. Some experts feel they both have the opportunity to execute an instant replay of the Baltimore Ravens, who went 8-8 in 1999, then won SB XXXV the next year.
The funny thing? Because they both finished last, the Bills and Chiefs play each other in one of their two positional games. In the parity-leavened NFL, that Oct. 26 game could be the difference.
Quoting Steve Mariucci On the roster transactions [7:08 PM]
DetroitLions.com reports: On the trade for RB Olandis Gary: �Olandis Gary was a player that we brought in during the off-season and considered signing him as a free agent acquisition. He�s a veteran, he�s played in the league and he�s played well. Given the health of our situation at tailback, a trade was a possibility so we pursued it. Matt (Millen) worked on it for the last day or two and ended up getting it done. He gives us another veteran back on board. Shawn Bryson is really the only other one that�s played a little bit. Avon Cobourne is a rookie and we don�t know quite how long James will be out so we felt to sure up that situation a little bit, adding a back like Olandis Gary gives us a bit of a security blanket there.�
Gary Is Traded To Detroit While 6 Are Cut To Get The Bills To 53 [5:24 PM]
WGR-AM reports: 'None of the Bills draft picks this season got released. Chris Kelsay is pushing Ryan Denney to start at LE. Mario Haggan and Angelo Crowell both looked very good in camp providing depth at linebacker. Guard Ben Sobieski looked very good against the Lions. CB Terrence McGee showed great return ability and improved quite a bit in his coverages. Lauvale Sape looks undersized to me at defensive tackle so I was surprised he made it over Irons.'
Updated Buffalo Bills Depth Chart [5:18 PM]
BuffaloBills.com reports: Updated as of 53 man roster cuts.
Bills trade RB Gary to Lions [5:12 PM]
AP reports: 'In other moves, the Bills placed third-string quarterback Travis Brown on the injured reserve list, meaning he will miss the season.'

Saturday roundup: Redskins release Wuerffel [9:37 AM]
ESPN reports: Falcons LB Newman was suspended for 4 games Saturday for violating the NFL's policy on anabolic steroids and related substances. Newman played his first 4 seasons in Buffalo. Former Bills coach Wade Phillips, now in his second year as Atlanta's DC, selected Newman in the fourth round of 1999 draft.
A question of identity [9:01 AM]
Buffalo News reports: '"You hope you find a grouping that gives you a personnel advantage," said Gilbride. "Then you develop your package within that. You have to have enough going on so there's diversity. The defense can't say, "This is all they do.' There has to be some change-of-direction plays. There has to be play-action passes. You have to be able to threaten them in a variety of ways."'
Bills have taken some steps forward [9:00 AM]
Buffalo News reports: 'These Bills now believe in themselves.'
Brides [8:59 AM]
Buffalo News reports: 'David M. White, a fullback/linebacker with the Tampa Bay Storm Arena Football League who played for the Buffalo Bills for two years, and his bride, Monica J. Brown, multicultural affairs director for Fredonia State College, will be at home in Depew. The Rev. Ronald P.

Ray Thomas now a Ticat [6:59 PM]
Hamilton Spectator reports: 'Thomas, who grew up in Hamilton and played high school football at Glendale, Barton and St. Thomas More, went on to star at Wake Forest University in North Carolina before signing with the Bills, who liked him but already were deep at his position.'
Fearless forecast [4:42 PM]
CNN/SI reports: wasn't that sold on them until I visited their camp. Then I got a lively swashbuckling feeling that they really think they have something special going. I'm not wild about their D-line, but I think the linebacking set, with new additions Takeo Spikes and Jeff Posey, will be so good that it'll cover for the deficiency.
AFC Race is Wide Open Again [4:42 PM]
SportsTicker reports: "The Buffalo Bills finished last in the East in 2002, but at 8-8, were one game behind the Patriots, Dolphins and New York Jets. The Bills lost receiver Peerless Price and his 1,252 yards and nine touchdowns, but Josh Reed will be counted on to complement Pro Bowl receiver Eric Moulds."
Big Blue might lose Hollis, Kuehl for year [11:22 AM]
New York Daily News reports: Giants coach Jim Fassel strongly hinted yesterday that his new kicker, Mike Hollis is headed to season-ending injured reserve. And the Giants have a reason to worry that they could be out a long time. Hollis, who signed a five-year, $4 million contract with a $500,000 signing bonus during the offseason, had back surgery in 2000, causing him to miss four games. Hollis kicked for Buffalo in 2002.
Bills' coaches face tough roster decisions [8:57 AM]
Buffalo News reports: 'The Bills kept six a year ago. How many they keep this season will depend on the status of Olandis Gary. According to sources, the Detroit Lions have contacted the Bills about Gary, who is the top backup behind Travis Henry.'

Buffalo News reports: '"This whole time I've been begging for a chance," he said. "The window opened up, and I just had to take advantage of it. I just felt so comfortable out there. I'll just leave that in God's hands. Every day is so exciting. I'm praying for Travis, obviously, for his finger to heal, but I'm just excited to be a part of this team right now."'

Started a few months ago but have been dragging my feet. With SWCVI in a few months I have started the jump on this again.
So here are some first pics
My ASOK helmet needs sanding then we will be ready to paint. Hopefully in a week. Love love love the helmet!
My chest armor with the help of a friend we plastered my chest from belly to neck. Then poured the armor and cut it. Pretty simple and turned out nice I think.

I was just wondering... how many out there carry the Sig 239, do you carry an extra mag, carry a back up, and how do you carry?
Printable View
I was just wondering... how many out there carry the Sig 239, do you carry an extra mag, carry a back up, and how do you carry?
I like a leather OWB behind my right hip. I always carry a spare mag, sometimes 2. Usually keep a couple more in the car. No such thing as too much.
Sig p239 .40 in a Mitch Rosen USD II IWB strong side hip. One spare magazine.
I just bought a P239 for CCW (my 3rd Sig) and lo and behold, a thread! I'd love to see more of how everyone carries this. My Utah permit should be here any day and I have to be out of state (I live in CA where EVERYONE is denied) and will be carrying.
I carry mine in either a leather OWB or IWB holster on my hip. If I carry a spare mag, it is usually in my weak side front pants pocket.
I had the heavy metal 239 in .357 SIG. Ran like a sewing machine, but a bit nose heavy for me. Solid piece that.
Eli :smt1099
I carry mine in a cheap bianchi IWB on my right hip with a spare mag in my weak side front or back pocket
Sorry everyone for not getting back sooner. I didn't end up getting a Sig 239 like I wanted.. instead I got engaged and am now going to look for a nice .22Lr pistol for the lady in my life for a present when she finish's her college... at least the first college since how she's going on to a special education thing next (I don't get it but hey if it is what she wants then it's okay with me).
I've owned my 239 for a little over a week and have carried it almost every day since. I carry IWB strong side just behind my hip. I always carry an extra mag in my weak side pocket. (usually a jacket pocket). The 239 replace a Glock 27. When I can't carry the now Sig I carry a Kahr P380.
It is always good to have an extra loaded magazine. Not as much for capacity as for a possible magazine malfunction. Most civilian, on the street gun fights will be over with one mag, but it's there if you need it.

WEEK SEVEN: Thursday, April 10 All the Single Ladies (or How Campaigns Win Today) Today, any truly competitive general election boils down to this: How do they win over single, female voters? This ultimate swing constituency gets their political news differently than the average likely voter. We'll look at how campaigns use technology to bypass traditional news to target female voters, and which races will be impacted the most by single women voters in 2014. Confirmed Guests: Jess McIntosh, communications director for EMILY's List; J.D. Schlough, Founder and CEO, Well & Lighthouse LLC ***All study groups are off-the-record and not for media coverage***

paint sprayers don't cost that much. ;) as for cure time, 2 hours or less between coats and use them the next day. doesn't seem that bad?
,,,I guess if I use exterior latex it would speed up the coating process considerably.
Quote from: Ray Bayless on May 19, 2013, 12:43:06 AM,,,I guess if I use exterior latex it would speed up the coating process considerably.what are you currently using? oil base? If so, why? Clean up alone makes that a nightmare. Not to mention, with advances in Latex paint and restrictions on the oil base paints, everything I hear now is that the latex is every bit as good.
everything I hear now is that the latex is every bit as good.
I thought that latex always stays in the rubber stage.
Quote from: Moots on May 19, 2013, 12:50:09 AMeverything I hear now is that the latex is every bit as good.Evidently you haven't been listening again. :laugh:Quote from: Ray Bayless on May 19, 2013, 01:19:11 AMI thought that latex always stays in the rubber stage. You are correct. Latex doesn't last as long as Enamel, but it breaths which can be a good thing when there is water vapor trying to escape. For foam hives I use enamel, but I do use latex for the woodies. There's a big difference between painting a hive or two and painting 50. It is a lot of work without a sprayer. I hate painting too. I haven't discovered a great solution yet. Maybe dip the hives in a barrel of paint? :-D That's how they put primer on autos.
I want to start dipping the equipment in wax/tree rosin. What I would appreciate would be some guidance on the initial start-up costs associated with it and a good supplier of the proper paraffin wax and rosin for the job. The tank is something I can make. I'm thinking a tank large enough to cycle 4 of the largest components at one time would be 30"-L X 24"-W X 40"-D. Of that I'm factoring in a foot of free board for foaming. That works out to about 90 gallons of mixture in the tank give or take. I was going to build it out of 1/4" plate and fit the rig with heavy duty casters for mobility.Anyway, That's the plan. Some guidance and information would be appreciated. Vendors for needed mixture components, Construction ideas, personal experiences all appreciated. Hands down this looks like the quickest approach to wood preservation. It also has the added bonus of hive sterilization seeing that the temps needed to get the proper soak and wood penetration are pretty high. Just makes sense for the growing apiary. Thanks in advance for the help.

Phew- Thank god,blue is here...the guy that knows EVERYTHING about.EVERYTHING...or, at least thinks he does. :laugh:Blue wants to always talk investments. Here's a GREAT investment tip...Figure out a way to buy Blue for what he's worth and sell him for what he thinks he's worth. Anyone able to do this could retire comfortably..QUITE COMFORTABLY! :lau:
I was helper for a paint crew and was told oil base for metal only after a specific primer was added for specific metal surfaces. latex for wood always! All wood must breathe and expand, dued to moisture, latex allows this to happen. As for oil base paint will crack upon expansion. I did my job for about two years and those were the rules of Wyatt Painting Co., a big outfit where I am located, not saying this is correct, just saying it worked for them :). Also FYI Latex is not good on metal because metal gets hot and will cause paint to bubble, this I am certain of because I have made the mistake before :roll:. I would invest in a sprayer before the other, because for me space is minimum and valuable in my bee shop. Just my opinion.
Now boys keep it civil. :-*dipping boxes is great but very very expensive and time consuming. to get the wax to the proper temp takes a good day to do it and when it gets there it is very explosive. so be protected when doing it. second the investment in the equipment and the amounts of wax needed to do it. unless you plan to get into pollinating or selling it really is not cost effective. it is good at disinfecting but against AFB the torch or destruction is the only true way to go. all other problems the bees will seal off with propulus.just my two cents worth.John

Historian Jan Tomasz Gross was facing possible charges by Polish prosecutors on grounds his latest book represents slander against the Polish nation. The book examines the murder of hundreds of Jews in Poland after the end of World War II. The Polish-American historian's book, "Fear: Anti-Semitism in POland After Auschwitz" has aroused controversy with some claiming he is guilty of making generalizations about the murder of Jews by their former neighbors. His book focuses on the famous 1946 pogrom in Kielce in which 40 Jews were killed. Gross argues the murders were symptomatic of widespread lingering anti-semitic attitudes among many Poles, particularly those who had seized the property of Jews that had been sent to the death camps by the Nazis. Gross argues the pogroms were a major factor why about 200,000 Jews left Poland after the war, many going to Israel.
Prosecutors are investigating whether his book constitute a crime since Poland has a law which makes slander against a nation a possible criminal act. Some members of the Catholic church are upset because they would rather than get into the behavior of some priests during the Holocaust. A significant number of historians recognize that some Poles cooperated with the Nazis and that anti-semitism was a powerful feeling in Poland of that era. It is also baffling how anyone could be convicted of "slandering a nation." If such a law existed in America millions would be in jail for daily insulting President Bush and his foreign policy.

Declaration of War (it's time to Sacrifice)
This is a message to a non white entity from the future. Prepare your soldiers for combat. The white boy is not going to man up. There is an increase in activity where i live which is no different from last year yet they are letting me know they are going to carry out a Genocidal Program to kill off Indians and blacks. I will not tolerate it. I can tell just from my website and email, what them whites are planning. Have your police follow police here in Great Falls, Montana. That be from the establishment of Great Falls, Montana Police Department in 1888, to well into the future from this time i live in. They can do what they want to them and their extended family lines. I suspect there are either government agents here where i live or agents from a future time. Have your soldiers (not police) follow them. They can do what they want to them and their extended family lines. Whoever is responsble for this increased activity will be held accountable. They could be from the future or from this time. I'm aware of what preordained means. Instruct your soldiers to wage war on those who are responsible and also wage war on their extended family lines. I have been promoting the Rocky Boy Tribe of Chippewa Indians of Montana throughout my website and i know some entity is intruding. Do not allow any person or persons or entity or entities, who are a part of this conspiracy to kill off Indians and blacks, to live again. That's law. Genocide is very serious. It's obvious the white boy does not want to man up. I can tell you right off that white leaders from the future are far more determined to kill off Indians and blacks. They may be responsible. We are nothing to the future. The future thinks we are puppets. Those white leaders from the future, will kill any white leaders from this time who give in. It is important to wage war on them. We have no choice. They have power over this era. They can force their will to achieve what is important. Indian leaders are in a serious predicament. However, the future can pull strings for my goal of gaining Tribal Recognition at numerous Indian Reservations, for the Rocky Boy Tribe of Chippewa Indians of Montana.
I will continue to try and gain Tribal recognition for the Rocky Boy Tribe of Chippewa Indians of Montana, at numerous Reservations. I have done a great deal of research the last few months and from evidence i have discovered, chief Rocky Boy was set aside many Reservations in the United States, Canada and possibly Dominica and Puerto Rico. It deals with the infamous 10˘ an Acre Treaty which was ratified in April of 1904. Many forest Reserves were set aside ajacent to Indian Reservations for chief Rocky Boy who agreed to accept the infamous 10˘ an Acre Treaty for those Ojibway's who continued to refuse to recognize the infamous 10˘ an Acre Treaty. In Montana, Little Belt Forest Reserve or Black Hills Indian Reservation (thus the reason for why so many Ojibway's were in Helena in 1909), was set aside on August 16, 1902, as was Madison Forest Reserve or Black Hills Indian Reservation. Madison Forest Reserve is located south and west of Anaconda and Butte. During those times 1900-1908, a rather large Ojibway population lived there. Madison Forest Reserve was obviously a part of Lemhi Shoshone Reservation or added to Lemhi Shoshone Reservation. Flathead Forest Reserve or Black Hills Indian Reservation, was enlarged in 1903. I know from old newspaper articles many Ojibway's were living there years before 1903. Chief Rocky Boy led many there in 1902. Highwood Mountains Forest Reserve or Black Hills Indian Reservation, was set aside on January 1, 1903. Minnesota Forest Reserve which is known today as Chippewa National Forest, was set aside in June of 1902 for Montana Ojibway's led by chief Rocky Boy. Many other Montana Ojibway's were Deported to White Earth Reservation in late 1902. White historians are liars. On January 17, 1903 Luquillo Forest Reserve was set aside in Puerto Rico. I suspect it was set aside for Montana Ojibway's. In 1903, Carib Territory was set aside in Dominica. I suspect it was set aside for Montana Ojibway's. There may be at least 16 locations where land was set aside for Montana Ojibway's led by chief Rocky Boy, between March of 1902 and April of 1904. In Canada, land was set aside for Montana Ojibway's led by chief Rocky Boy, between 1902 and 1904. I must do more research to find those Reserves. In early 1902, chief Rocky Boy commenced a campaign to have new Ojibway Reservations set aside. It dealt with the infamous 10˘ an Acre Treaty which was ratified in April of 1904. Per treaty agreements with chief Rocky Boy, American leaders agreed to set aside new Reservations. Most were forests added to existing Reservations. I will also continue to try and gain Federal Recognition for the Rocky Boy Tribe of Chippewa Indians here in Great Falls with a Reservation adjacent to Great Falls.
It is one of the many communities of the Black Hills Indian Reservation. It is located near or partially on the Colorado River Reservation. The population of Blythe is extremely corrupted. It goes as follows: Mexican 53%; white 59%; black 15%; Native American 1%; Asian 1%; people of other races 19%; and mixed bloods 3%. Around 92% of the population of Blythe is non white and 59% is white. Blythe is not the ordinary city. Instead of 100%, Blythe is quite unique. Blythe is 151%. So Blythe has something extra that most other cities don't. The 2010 census for Blythe was 20,817. A total of 5,473 housing units are in Blythe. Living conditions for the citizens of Blythe are more on the good than bad. Around 21% of the city's population lives below the poverty line. Below are several links to pictures of Blythe.

Until I read this article by Casey Sanchez for The Southern Poverty Law Center, I did not really understand what was meant by the term "Joel's Army". A user over at Talk2Action and DailyKos by the name of dogemperor has been sounding the alarm over this movement for several years. She was brought up in an Assemblies of God Church which subscribed to this theologyand walked away from it a few years ago.
Dogemporer also has an excellent overview of Joel's Army theology. This movement is also called "The New Apostolic Reformation" (NAR). There are a lot of links in the article, I recommend it highly. You can get lost in all of the links and craziness of these people. The only problem I have had with reading all of this material, is that dogemperor relies on AoG terminology which sometimes confuses me. Dogemperor says that the AoG churches officially deny they are supporting Joel's Army activities, but a lot of AoG churches have been steeplejacked by Joel's Army supporters.
But until I read the article by Sanchez, I was confused by the fact that most of the Pentecostal people I knew were the "lets not worry and just wait for the Rapture" sort of people. But it seems that within the AoG churches and assorted non-denominational churches, there are people who are not content for God to choose the time for the Rapture; they think it is up to them. I can see how a movement like this can start up. The rise of Prosperity Gospel and the idea that God can give them what they want here on earth can turn into the nightmare of Joel's Army, if what one wants is political power.
Tattooed across his sternum are military dog tags that read "Joel's Army." They're evidence of Bentley's generalship in a rapidly growing apocalyptic movement that's gone largely unnoticed by watchdogs of the theocratic right. According to Bentley and a handful of other "hyper-charismatic" preachers advancing the same agenda, Joel's Army is prophesied to become an Armageddon-ready military force of young people with a divine mandate to physically impose Christian "dominion" on non-believers.It looks like the younger people in some of these churches want their Armageddon now and they want to bring it about themselves.
Joel's Army followers, many of them teenagers and young adults who believe they're members of the final generation to come of age before the end of the world, are breaking away in droves from mainline Pentecostal churches. Numbering in the tens of thousands, they base their beliefs on an esoteric reading of the second chapter of the Old Testament Book of Joel, in which an avenging swarm of locusts attacks Israel. In their view, the locusts are a metaphor for Joel's Army.
This is really scary if conservative Christians themselves are frightened by this movement and recognize it as a political movement obsessed with gaining political power.
Those sounding the alarm about Joel's Army are not secular foes of the Christian Right, few of whom are even aware of the movement or how widespread it's become in the past decade. Instead, Joel's Army critics are mostly conservative Christians, either neo-Pentecostals who left the movement in disgust or evangelical Christians who fear that Joel's Army preachers are stealing their flocks, even sending spies to infiltrate their own congregations and sway their young people to heresy. And they say the movement is becoming frightening.
"The pitch and intensity of the military rhetoric of this branch of the global Dominionist movement has substantially increased since the beginning of 2008," writes The Discernment Research Group, a Christian watchdog group that tracks what they call heresies or cults within Christianity. "One can only wonder how long before this transforms into real warfare with actual warriors."
Joel's Army believers are hard-core Christian dominionists, meaning they believe that America, along with the rest of the world, should be governed by conservative Christians and a conservative Christian interpretation of biblical law. There is no room in their doctrine for democracy or pluralism.That's really great, the irrationality and anti intellectualism of the Joel's Army seems to make them into a howling mob. Actually, read the following description of one of the services:
Dominionism's original branch is Christian Reconstructionism, a grim, Calvinist call to theocracy that, as Reconstructionist writer Gary North describes, wants to "get busy in constructing a Bible-based social, political and religious order which finally denies the religious liberty of the enemies of God."
Notorious for endorsing the public execution by stoning of homosexuals and adulterers, the Christian Reconstructionist movement is far better known in secular America than Joel's Army. That's largely because Reconstructionists have made several serious forays into mainstream politics and received a fair amount of negative publicity as a result. Joel's Army followers eschew the political system, believing the path to world domination lies in taking over churches, not election to public office.
Another key difference between the two branches of dominionism, which maintain a testy, arms-length relationship with one another, is Christian Reconstructionism's buttoned-down image and heavy emphasis on Bible study, which contrasts sharply with Joel's Army anti-intellectual distrust of biblical scholars and its unruly style.
The audience members behave as if they are at a psychedelic counterculture festival. One couple jumps up and down twirling red and silver metallic flags. Dyed-haired teenagers pulled in by the revival's presence on Facebook and MySpace wander around looking dazed. Women lay facedown on the floor, convulsing and howling. Fathers wail in tongues as their confused children look on. Strangers lay hands on those who fail to produce tongues or gyrate wildly enough, pressuring them to "let it out."Holy shit indeed.
Michael Barkun, a leading scholar of radical religion, notes that in 1958, Branham began teaching "Serpent Seed" doctrine, the belief that Satan had sex with Eve, resulting in Cain and his descendants. "Through Cain came all the smart, educated people down to the antediluvian flood — the intellectuals, bible colleges," Branham wrote in the kind of anti-mainstream religion, anti-intellectual spirit that pervades the Joel's Army movement to this day. "They know all their creeds but know nothing about God."It seems that their reach is far indeed and quite subtle. In fact, a large non-denominational church near where I live has an interesting selection of sermons on-line. In two sermons entitled, Picture of a Typical Unbeliever, July 27 and August 3 2008, the preacher is linking the biblical Cain and his descendants with non-Christians and atheists as the main theme of the sermons. I don't know if he realizes that the "Serpent Seed" theology is also promulgated by racist Christian Identity churches, except their descendants of Cain are non-white instead of non-Christian. Different groups but the same demonizing.
Here is another article about the Joel's Army people over at Talk2Action. There is also a link to one of the preachers that advocate this theology. He talks about taking over the government.
Sarah Palin's churches are being portrayed by many religion writers as typical of traditional Assemblies of God congregations. This includes claims that she may share the endtimes belief that the godly will be snatched from the earth in the Rapture and therefore avoid the reign of the Antichrist in the Tribulation and the Apocalypse. This conclusion completely ignores the fact that Palin's churches are deeply involved in the activities and beliefs of a nondenominational movement that is sweeping the globe. The followers of this movement are not waiting around for the Rapture!Here is a quick overview of the theology:
While Pentecostal churches have always celebrated a restoration of the church, this has been tempered with Rapture theology. As churches embrace this Apostolic revolution they are moving away from the traditions of Assemblies of God and other denominations and are adopting a view of the end time that includes the triumph and perfection of the church as opposed to escaping in the Rapture from an evil world descending into the apocalypse. They see the imminent end times as a time of great glory for the restored true Apostolic church greater than the one of New Testament times, and a time when the foot soldiers of this church will be imparted with supernatural powers. This outpouring of powers will allow them to crush evil with a "rod of iron" and deliver a purified church to Jesus when he returns. Their schedule is even more pressing than many in other Dominionist groups because their hybrid mixture of end time beliefs maintains the urgency of an imminent return of Jesus. The writer whose title I borrowed for this article states, "This growing army of delivered, discipled and deployed Christians are now prepared to become active participants in the cosmic battle for every area of God's terra-firma."It almost sounds like a kooky mixture of Mormonism and Scientology. Just substitute demons with thetans and you have the basics of Scientology. And a group called Morningstar Ministries produces a lot of their training materials. Hmmm. Interesting name, Morningstar. Isn't Morningstar another name of the Roman god Lucius Fero, aka Lucifer. Perhaps this should be pointed out to the more superstitious Christians. After all, don't they believe the Antichrist will come as a false prophet?
I'll end this article with a quote from the comments to this article.
Note that most "pew sitters" have LITTLE CLUE what they are involved with. (I sure didn't!!!!) However, since Palin grew up in this movement, had hands laid on her by some big figures, etc., I would guess that she knows full well that her "destiny" is to "reach" the world so that her (soon to be immortalized?) children can literally "rule" it, as Laffoon would say. While Palin hasn't been discipled by him specifically, there is an overwhelming amount of evidence that she HAS been discipled under the wings of the larger NAR movement.Update:
Dogemporer has an update over at DailyKos and Talk2Action about Sarah Palin's dominionist links and promises more. Scary.
It looks like Sarah Palin's churches don't especially like either Catholics or Jews.
And the ultimate goal, in Joel's Army circles?
To quote Pinky and the Brain, "Try to take over the world".
And we discuss this in much more detail in tomorrow's post...as the implications are disturbing indeed.
And some music by Bad Religion to set the mood.

I am using a Class 1 Category G substances pyrotechnic special effect for a film or TV commercial and it is not intended to entertain the public as a display in its own right, do I need written agreement?
Where a pyrotechnic special effect is used, and its use in not intended for the specific purpose of entertaining the public the Fire Service does not need to provide written agreement.
How many call outs does Fire Servic...
How many call outs does Fire Service attend a year?
The New Zealand Fire Service attends around 20,529 false alarm calls annually and at some fire stations, false alarms generate from 50 to 70 percent of their callouts.

We just got back from the Deer Expo in Birmingham this past weekend and had a great time talking to duck hunters. We leased our last 6 man with a cabin slot while at the show but still have about 10 four - six man group slots left for the 2013 - 14 duck hunting season. All the information about the program can be found at the following link :
