- Fun and deliciousOpenTable Diner Since 2008VIPDined on 9/18/2014I've come to 94th Aero Squadron many times, though this was the first time for dinner. I love this place. The decor looks like high style with none of the pretension. The food was fantastic. We started with the sampler appetizer, the stuff mushrooms just melted in my mouth. I had the prime rib which was perfectly done. I ordered the 8oz but what came to my table looked more like a 12-14oz. Our server then gave us a side of the chef's special creamed corn. Wow, that creamed corn was the second best thing I've ever tasted. Our server was attentive and friendly. I highly recommend this place.Special Features:

- Even my wife liked it!JPGhengisDined on 9/13/2014We took a chance, not having had anyone we knew come here. My wife easily finds things to dislike about places, and even at first I felt like she wasn't that thrilled, but the overall experience won her over. There is a charm to this place.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Wonderful!NancyDined on 9/12/2014This was our first visit to the 94th Aero Squadron, but it will not be our last! The ambience was so romantic and the food was delicious. I'm sure it will become one of our favorites for special occasions.Special Features:
- Well Pleased!!!OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 9/8/2014I book the 94th for a Co-Workers Birthday lunch with a party of 15 and they were waiting and prepared for us. The area that they placed us was perfect. From the time we were greeted until the time we departed we were treated with First Class service. The staff was on point and very accommodating and the food was great as well. Thanks fro making my Co-Workers Birthday a special one. RJSpecial Features:
- Horrible seatsDeniseDined on 9/7/2014I had booked brunch a week in advance for a large group. I was told that we are going to be seated outside which I was fine with. I had asked if there would be shade and they said yes. When I got there, we were seated in direct sunlight because someone took all the umbrellas. I mean we finally got umbrellas, but if you have a large party, I don't recommend going here. We were told there would be shade, but that didn't happen. We stood around waiting for umbrellas.
- A FavoriteSVKCDined on 9/4/2014While our out of town guests were visiting for a wedding, we went to 94th not once but twice because they were so impressed with the food, service and atmosphere. It made it a wonderful time for everyone.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Best brunch ever!aztouristDined on 8/31/2014The variety and quality of their brunch is astounding!! We love to sit outside on the patio and enjoy the weather and watch the planes taking off and landing. This is always a MUST when we are in San Diego!!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Mixed bag on FridaysWolfmanDaveDined on 8/29/2014The lounge was so busy there wasn't much parking to be found on a Friday evening. We sat two dining rooms away from the lounge and so it was pretty quiet. Perhaps too quiet. There was no one waiting to be seated when we entered at 7pm. I also noticed that there were no very many people sitting in the two dining rooms we went through (there are three dining rooms). I suspect the lounge crowd has much to do with that--a full parking lot is a great deterrent to having walk-ins. More of a downside to our visit was the waiter: he wasn't very observant or attentive. He struck me as a new face--I recognized several servers from previous visits through the years. Overall, the food was still delicious, though. We'll still return there.Special Features:
- Always a great mealSusan1484VIPDined on 8/27/2014Loved the grilled salmon and the crab louie. Being placed away from traffic lanes always makes lunch special.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Birthday BrunchFoodreviewsDined on 8/17/2014Overall I love this place. Having said that our section was dark and very warm. I know they have to fill the place up to get all the people who want to be there seated, but we were cramped and it was hot. The lighting was horrible and there was no way to brighten it up, according to the wait staff. The wait staff was great and accommodating. I will return, I'll just have to make sure the location we are sitting in is better ventilated.Special Features:

- Birthday dinnerFrenchieDined on 8/13/2014My husband took me to the 94th Aero Squadron for my birthday dinner. We have been to the Butcher Shop before and enjoyed it. We decided to try out the sister company. We were not disappointed. The food was great. The service was great. The ambiance was wonderful. My husband was born in France and though the decor was not exactly all the same era, it did bring back some wonderful memories of his grandmothers house. We will definitely return for dinner in the future.Special Features:
- The lookawesomeDined on 8/12/2014This is a fix for anyone two people. there is so much going on, on the walls and the area around it there is always something to talk about. and the people here are awesome, and very much an old type place, but by no means lame.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Diners DO notice frictionRichard619Dined on 8/9/2014We were seated by the open kitchen grill. They had a special reception that apparently overwhelmed the staff. Orders meant for some servers went to others, clearly creating some friction that we didn't need to witness. Our food was relatively late in getting to the table. Many baskets of warm bread passed us by- someone could have served it while we waited. I have to say that the food, when it arrived, was hot and tasty, but thumbs down for the ambiance on this occasion.Special Features:
- Great experiencelovchristinaDined on 8/5/2014I took my husband here for his 33rd birthday and we had a wonderful experience. Just a quiet dinner together was what we wanted. The place was not crowded or noisy which is always nice. Our waiter was extremely friendly and enthusiastic. I made sure to leave him a nice tip for making the experience so good. I also loved that they brought out a birthday treat for my husband without having to do the big song and call all attention to us. I will definitely be back!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- UniquedmrjaxDined on 7/18/2014My husband and I usually go to the 94th Aero Squadron on special occasions, but we needed a date night and decided to splurge. It was so hot in the restaurant I thought I was going to pass out. Every time we go the temperature in the restaurant is warm, but Friday night was unbearable. We wanted to stay longer and have dessert, but ended up leaving asap. The waitress was sweaty and not very attentive. Usually we have a great time here, but we were disappointed and may not go back for awhile.Special Features:

I had the short ribs which reminded me of the good ones my grandmother used to make; my husband had the filet which was excellent. Highly recommend.Special Features:

Can Majestic SEO call the US Election?
There is more than one way to do a poll.
The US Presidential elections… according to the Gallups and the Yougovs are swings and roundabouts or neck and neck… but link domain stats suggest a landslide win for…
Well read on…
Some time back, Majestic SEO found a great correlation between links to a political candidate's official page and the result. Well something really interesting has happened between Romney and Obama:
The last month has seen a MASSIVE swing to Mitt Romney. While the polls are suggesting this is a close fought race, the closeness may well be dependent on whether the incumbent's past "branding" will keep him going past the winning post, because cumulatively, Obama has more sites linking to him than Romney does, but the rate of acquisition suddenly changed last month.
So what has happened?
If we look at links seen during the last 60 days, rather than all time, we can look at the links seen day by day:
As you can see, the whole game seems to have changed immediately before the first Presidential debate. Ever since that point, Mitt Romney seems to have kept up the online brand messaging. Here is the same chart on a cumulative basis.
During the London Mayor election, we used back link history (the way in which website link to each other) as a proxy for opinion between the two main candidates. Boris Johnson – now known around the world after the Olympics – won reasonably convincingly and our graph mapped the opinions of the public well… Spot the similarity?
Boris finally won the elections in London by about 6 points. Right now, I have to predict that unless Obama changes the dynamics a bit, Romney will do rather better than the "pundits" are saying on election day.
…But read on…
Is Crowd-sourcing a better predictor than polling?
Using Majestic SEO as a prediction tool may have some advantages over other more traditional methods.
- The data contains a massive sample. Majestic SEO sees about 3 billion URLs every day
- The data is international in nature, but since all URLs are checked against a Geo-targeting database, detailed analysis could break down data by country. (In this case, the data is US centric mainly because of the subject matter and the two sites compared.
- The data is FAST! We update our index constantly although these charts are currently being updated every day, other data updates most hours.
- The polling does not JUST have to be looking at electoral Maths. Many other concepts can be visualized through link analysis.
…but read on…
Some Provisos
This data was collected at a top level. At the top level it is only a good predictor if the data was not manipulated. In a democratic election, manipulation is infact the whole name of the game! Knowing where all these links came from may dramatically change one's opinion on what this data means. Luckily, we can easily see where Mitt Romney acquired all his links over a three day period through the New links tab on our Site Explorer. OK – this requires a $49 subscription… but that's GOT to be cheaper than phoning 3,000 people to try and get a sample.
You are welcome to register with Majestic (it only takes a minute) to see where these thousands of links came from. If you are just here for the read, here are a few:
- There were some on CNN
- There were some on The Atlantic
- There is one to Mitt Romney's shop… on the GOP Privacy page! (Oh… the irony)
However – closer inspection reveals that the vast majority of links came and went in the same day (or over a short period). This suggests a specific form of marketing – a heavy PR campaign – which resulted in a spike in the results which rapidly left the home page of websites, but may still be on these news and blog sites somewhere:
So I take my hat off to a PR/SEO team that must have spent years preparing that push. I am sure it had an effect, but because the links arrived SO quickly, they stand out and in this instance may not represent the change in fortunes Mitt Romney may have hoped for and suggested at the top level analysis. Even so – the idea of using link analysis to predict an election still holds true. Just beware of wild spikes.
If you are interested in other ways in which Majestic SEO's data might be useful within your own predictive modelling, either consider a web based account or contact Majestic's support for more information about our Enterprise level APIs.

Very detailed and I take my hat off to you guys for this analysis. Very interesting. I specialize in hispanic markets and your analysis has triggered my thought to follow your example in Latin American countries.
Thanks. I think anyone could be MUCH more detailed if they really wanted to investigate who is saying what. If you analysed the sentiment of the URLs linking, for example, you would get even more useful data. The spike, though, masks the true "lie of the land" I think.
I appreciate the feedback though, Eider!
This is a great insight. However, remember that only a few key states will actually matter when it comes down to it. Ohio, PA, Florida, Colorado, etc. Unlike the London race where it was a straight majority vote to win. Still, an unorthodox analytics idea. I enjoyed it.
Thanks Cody. It would be strightforward to look at all these links by State… well – OK – 35,000 of them appearing that quick may need a bit of looking at I guess… but doable.
Very interesting. But there might be some factors wich make it difficult for very precise Internet statistics. I Think older people prefer Romney, but they are not so active on the Internet than the Obama fans wich might be of younger age. Such Demographic factors (Digital Divide) could make it difficult to get the full information. On the other hand I think such methods could be very useful for analysts to track the performance of Web comapanies, Social Networks and so on. Such Data might be useful to make a prognosis of future development which would be indeed very interesting for the Investment Guys in the Big Banks, Fonds and Hedgefonds.
You make a good point that the data would be influenced by other demographics such as age. Again, however, anyone who wanted to build on this modelling seriously could do so – for example by overlaying our data with Microsoft Passport API data – which includes broad age range demographics for users to any website.
I agree strongly regarding age, as most people over the age of 60 (just in my opinion) would likely not know how to "link" to something. Sure, there is exceptions to this rule, however feel it is an important point to consider. Joe Henners, love the points you outlined regarding Obama supporters being younger and hence may be a slight clue as to why Obama is more heavily linked. (Not to mention the favorable media coverage, which yields links).
With heavy commercials being ran, obtaining a great amount of links in a relatively short amount of time would not raise a red flag in my book. Additionally, social media has been heating up between Obama & Romney, which may cause sharing (Google +1′s now count as links), etc.
Thanks for the add , Jason.
If you think about it, the oldies don't NEED to know how to link… map the link data to the user age demograohics (Microsoft Passport) and THEN map the URL onto traffic data (Hitwise, Compete.com, Comscore or Alexa) and then you have the full mix. Of course… Oldies are less likely to use the Internet at all. I don't have THAT layer of te puzzle sorted yet.>
Awesome analysis. And when you have such big data available I do think you can predict a lot of stuff with a lot of accuracy. As much as we think that we are "random" or we try to change how people and machines see us, we are highly predictable given enough data.
Many factors could come into play here with out seeing more of the digital plan.
I read recently that Obama's team was spending far more on SEO/PPC compared to Romney, who favored print and TV advertising.
I believe over the last 2 weeks they have been pushing TV very heavily so this may have had some correlation towards people linking after they see the commercial on TV possibly?
but overall the news is limited in Australia for this type of research, thank you for sharing it with us.
The rise in links to the Obama site don't look "natural"… but then again, neither presidential campaign looks very "natural" in any way shape or form anyway.
So are you saying this was "SEO campaign" for making Romney look more popular than Obama and the marketers were counting on someone to notice, but someone less sophisticated than Majestic Seo? They were counting on a less astute observer, is that what you mean? I'm confused, because I'm not sure how the ranking higher for "mitt romney" would help him. So not sure what to take from this post, although it is very interesting.
By the way, the anchor text, did you see some of them? "Dirty cat litter," was one of the keywords. Lol.
I am not saying it was for an SEO push. After all – one person would type in "Obama" and the other "Romney". But the online campaign put in a huge spike which is far from "natural' link acquisition.

In this online course we will investigate several different eras in Jewish history, from the time of the second temple through to the modern age, challenging ourselves to see Jewish history from varied perspectives. How does a multifaceted study of Jewish history help us define our own identity?

Competition for land has kept values strong, averaging 20% higher values over comparable land in 2012.
The continued rise is mainly due to auction activity driving sales prices as purchasers vie for parcels of land. Mid- to high-quality properties still see such rises in value, while lower quality land values are steady.
"Values are still going up, but pace has slowed overall," says Derrick Volchoff, ALC, vice president of real estate operation at Farmers National Company. "Many transactions for high-quality land are being sold via auction, which drives prices through competitive situations."
Auctions have turned very competitive with bidding wars becoming the norm for high-quality land sales. Areas of the U.S. that normally don't run auctions, such as the Delta region, now see them regularly, Volchoff says.
Prices in the High Plains continue strong into 2013. One major change in this region's market is the impact of an inventory shortage that is a direct result of a strong sell-off of land in late 2012. "Forecasted tax law shifts and increasing prices to record levels spurred this high level of sales activity, which has led to a slowdown so far this year," says Monty Meusch, Farmers National Company area sales manager.
See the table above for state averages of prices paid for top-quality land.

"Thanks to my father, I know the importance of taking the time to do it right the first time. It doesn't matter if it's in the barn, on the tractor or in the office; it is much more efficient and productive to do a job once rather than relying on a do-over at a later time.

Cargill acquired the grain storage and crop inputs assets of Northstar Grain LLC and associated properties in Decatur, Mich.
The facility has earned notoriety through its longevity and one of its prior owners. Northstar was first operational in 1849, making it one of the oldest working mills in the U.S. Additionally, former owner Mike Stamp declared Chapter 11 bankruptcy in November 2012, with estimated liabilities exceeding $50 million. Northstar has remained open since that time.
Stamp purchased Northstar in 2007 and made upgrades, including an initial boost in bin capacity from 150,000 bu. to 400,000 bu. He also repaired an old rail spur and reconnected it to the main line.
Cargill plans to make $3 million in upgrades to the facility. The company will complete the construction of a 500,000 bu. storage bin and up the capability to ship 75-car unit trains. "We look forward to notably increasing the competitiveness of this facility as a market for our future customers and connecting it to the extensive grain and oilseeds supply chains we serve," says Ben Breazeale, leader of the Greater Indiana Farm Service group of Cargill Ag Horizons U.S.
Assets include 4.5 billion bu. of storage for corn, soybeans and wheat, along with a crop inputs business.
Permits for irrigation are soaring across the U.S. Just in South Dakota, the state Department of Environment and Natural Resources approved 173 irrigation permits last year. So far this year it has issued 279, and supposedly there are another 120 applications still pending. In the previous three years, the number of permits issued was 65 or fewer.

Adult Fiction BUCKELL
Summary: Long ago, so the stories say, the old-fathers came to Nanagada through a worm's hole in the sky. Looking for a new world to call their own, they brought with them a rich mélange of cultures, religions, and dialects from a far-off planet called Earth. Mighty were the old-fathers, with the power to shape the world to their liking---but that was many generations ago, and what was once known has long been lost. Steamboats and gas-filled blimps now traverse the planet, where people once looked up to see great silver cities in the sky. Like his world, John deBrun has forgotten more than he remembers. Twenty-seven years ago, he washed up onto the shore of Nanagada with no memory of his past. Although he has made a new life for himself among the peaceful islanders, his soul remains haunted by unanswered questions about his own identity. These mysteries take on new urgency when the fearsome Azteca storm over the Wicked High Mountains in search of fresh blood and hearts to feed their cruel, inhuman gods. Nanagada's only hope lies in a mythical artifact, the Ma Wi Jung, said to be hidden somewhere in the frozen north. And only John deBrun knows the device's secrets, even if he can't remember why or how! Crystal Rain is the much-anticipated debut novel by one of science fiction's newest and most promising talents.

"WOW, is my first impression. As you can see from the image, I got a small sample of Swell sent to me and I got 2 applications out of it. This mask is AMAZING, it feels great and is so calming. It is perfect for de-stressing and relaxing. The mask has a menthol minty coolness to it. I applied it with a fan brush, a thin layer and left on for about 15 minutes, it never really dried but became a little gummy or should I say tacky. After I applied I just went and say and read a magazine with the television on and just chilled. It is so nice to just put your feel up but add in the mask and like Sircuit describes this is meant to be a luxury, it feels so nice on my skin and the cooling sensation made my skin feel invigorated. It also felt like it tightened my skin too. I removed with a warm face cloth then went ahead and applied my night time moisturizer. I just felt like the next day my skin looked and felt great. It seems to be like I said a little tighter, either way, I felt good about it and am very pleased with it. I can't go into too much more detail as I only used 2x but I can tell you this is well worth checking into! :)"

Originally Featured On Allure.com; Written By Brooke Le Poer Trench
Jeannette Graf, an assistant clinical professor of dermatology at Mount Sinai Medical Center in New York City, not only helped pioneer studies on peptides, she's also been researching the power of antioxidants for two decades. Here, the author of Stop Aging, Start Living (Three Rivers Press) explains how to use the latter to dodge the worst damage.
"For the best protection, wear a formula with several antioxidants. Studies show they work together, becoming more powerful when they're combined than when they are alone. For instance, lycopene is more potent than beta-carotene and lutein, but all three together are significantly stronger still."
"Wearing a sunscreen or moisturizer with antioxidants is fine, but I prefer serums, which penetrate faster than creams when applied to bare skin. The strongest concentrations are usually the most stable, so look for one in a dark or opaque bottle. A change in color, smell, or texture of the product can mean the antioxidants have oxidized and become useless." Try Sircuit Addict™+ l firming anti-aging serum that contains more than 12 potent and powerful antioxidants!
"Much of the research into antioxidants now is in marine algae, which thrive in the harshest environments on earth. We're going to see very potent combinations of different types of algae for skin in the near future." Try Swell™ l oceanic cooling mask (1.3 oz. l $75.00) which contains both algae and caviar extracts!

When asked to describe aging skin, generally the phrases "wrinkled", "thin-skin", or "sagging" are the first to be used. Really, the phrases we should think of first include: damaged strands of DNA, misshapen cells, or damaged chromosomes … the fact is that the aging process begins on a cellular level. One key discovery is the understanding of telomeres, and how they play a key role in understanding the aging process.
Before we go too in-depth about what a telomere is… let's first review some basics of biology:
- Our bodies are made of cells.
- Cells must divide and replicate themselves in order for us to heal, reproduce, and survive.
- Cells house our Chromosomes, which are made up of strands of our DNA which stores our genetic information, and determines our genetic outcomes (like our hair color, eye color, etc).
- DNA strands have ends to them, which are called telomeres.
- Telomeres protect the integrity of our DNA when a cell divides.
A little more about telomeres:
Telomeres were first discovered in the early 1970's when scientists recognized that chromosomes could not completely replicate their ends. It was almost as if there was a "cap" at the end of the DNA strand. Research would continue to show that these "caps" were made of a separate DNA sequence that varied from the rest of the DNA strand. It was noted that each time a cell divided, the ends (the telomeres) became shorter until eventually the ends diminished, and the DNA would not replicate correctly, and eventually the cell would die.
A fantastic analogy to describe a telomere came from a video by the Smithsonian Channel called "Decoding Immortality" (click here to view it!). In this video, Professor Elizabeth Blackburn (who has extensively studied telomeres, and won a Nobel Prize for her findings) describes how the strand of DNA and the telomere is similar to a shoelace. Think about how the shoelace is woven together with different threads, and is capped at the end with a small plastic piece. In this scenario, the shoelace represents the DNA, and the plastic end represents the telomere. If you were to trim the plastic end, eventually the shoelace would become unraveled, becoming unusable. The same applies to our DNA and our telomeres. Once the telomere shortens to the point of not existing, the Cell can't replicate correctly, and is no longer usable. In short …the length of the telomere will determine how long your cells will live.
Why is this important for your skin?
So this is important for many reasons… but when it comes to prolonging the aging process of the skin, it is important to use products that don't just address the look of the skin. It is arguable more important to think about preserving and protecting the DNA of the cells. And protecting the telomeres could be the key to preserving a youthful complexion.
Although telomere shortening is a normal part of the aging process, it doesn't mean you can't do your best to slow the process down. Oxidative stress, UV exposure, and inflammation can speed up the process of cellular turnover that result in telomere shortening.
So … protecting the skin from the sun with a physical sun barrier like Zinc Oxide; using topical ingredients that are rich in anti-oxidants (like Spin Trap) or a retinoid (we recommend an encapsulated retinaldehyde); and optimizing the skin's Vitamin D activity (Chronocycline® is the ingredient to look for) will be your best defense against telomere shortening.

For added protection for your face, neck & chest area, layer a serum containing vitamin C under your sunscreen (we suggest Sircuit Weapon™+ l 10% vitamin C therapy serum). Not only will it help to prevent sun damage, it also helps to address dehydration and wrinkles!
For an extra boost, try a serum or sunscreen that also contains vitamin E, a powerful antioxidant that helps to speed healing.
Did you know? Sol-Avert™ l ultimate UV defense contains both the Chirally Correct form of vitamin E, and the ingredient L-Ergothioneine; a natural antioxidant and amino acid that helps prevent damage caused by UV radiation, recycles Vitamin C, and inhibits Tyrosinase (i.e. helps to prevent the formation of hyper-pigmentation)? This is hands down our "go-to" daily sunscreen!!

How Much Should You Use? How Often Should You Use It? We get these questions a lot, so we thought we would break it down for you.Because of SIRCUIT®'s extensive use of Chiral technology all of our products are VERY concentrated. This is important to understand because you will only need to use a VERY small amount of product to see results. In fact in many cases, this would be about half of what you would normally use from other skincare lines that you've tried.
We like to tell our customers that "a glass can only hold so much water" so start with a very small amount, and you can always add a little more to build from there. You may not realize this but overuse can also affect the skin's natural balance and cause a variety of reactions in the skin … which defeats the purpose!
Here is a quick reference for each type of SIRCUIT® product, with suggestions for application noted:
- Cleansers & Scrub - 1 pump (this will give you enough for your face, neck & chest area).
- Serums - 3-4 small drops from the dropper (about 1/8 of a dropper, NOT a full dropper). For best application, blend the serum in the palms of your hand and press into your face. Then wipe any leftover residue onto the tops of your hands, for an anti-aging hand treatment.
- Hydrating Mists - 2 pumps. For best results, spray directly into hands and press into face.
- Eye Crèmes/Gel - Gently tap the pump so that you get about . of a pump, it should be about the size of the tip of a ball-point pen which is enough for both eyes (1 full pump is WAY too much). For best results, eye products should NOT be applied near the lash line. Instead, tap gently starting about 1 in. below your lower lash line, and just below your brow line.
- Moisturizers - 1 pump for Day Care or Cool Aid. With all moisturizers in a jar, scoop a small pea sized amount. Apply one dot to your forehead, one dot to your chin, and 1 dot to each cheek and blend into the skin gently using upward motions.
- Masks & Peels - Scoop a small pea sized amount. Should be enough for a thin, even layer across face (avoiding eye area & mouth).
Since SIRCUIT® products are pure & more concentrated then you might be currently using, we recommend that you start slowly with each product.
For best results, start with the SIRCUIT® cleanser and moisturizer that suits your skin type, which will help to balance and improve the skin condition. From there, you can begin to add serums and treatments over time that will address more specific skin concerns. Using more than 1 serum at a single application is never recommended for a customer just starting out with SIRCUIT®. What we do recommend is that you use only 1 serum, once a day to start, and then over time they can introduce another serum into their daily regimen. If you have VERY sensitive skin, we suggest that you start by applying their serum every other day for the first week, then increase to using it once a day from there.

This was our third cruise on Celebrity. I am sad to say that it was not what I had experienced before and what were looking forward to.
The ship itself is beautiful and it was very clean all the time.
We booked Concierge Class because our agent quoted us a price that was less than a regular veranda. All the perks they advertise with Concierge Class except the priority check-in were unexceptional. Priority luggage delivery? Three of four bags arrived about 4 hours after our 12:00 check-in. One was broken beyond repair. The bag with my cosmetics was misplaced for hours, arrived at about 7pm. This is priority luggage delivery???? Not such a good start! Wilted flowers in stateroom. I couldn't see anything special about the stateroom. The bathroom was nice, maybe a little bigger than most. The shower had a nice curved glass door. Maybe all the bathrooms on the Solstice are like this. We were previously on the Eclipse and I remember a shower curtain. Nice to not have the shower curtain sticking to you.
The advertised Concierge hor'dourves were not very good any day. A few olives, a blob of some kind of dip, some stale chips. Looked very similar every day. The last night we received some mozzarella balls and grape tomatoes in olive oil and basil. Nothing to pick them up with! A toothpick would have been nice. Note to self...don't pay extra for Concierge Class, not worth it.
Dining room...oh what a disappointment. We had a beautiful table for two next to a window. The waiter was incredibly inexperienced and the sommelier was dismissive and inattentive. As soon as he realized we had a beverage package and would not be ordering bottles of wine, he couldn't be bothered. I asked the waiter for a different sorbet, We did this for the first two nights then we ate at the Oceanview for a couple nights. The last three nights we did select seating which was so poorly represented we didn't even know it existed! Totally different experience. Waiters, assistant waiters and sommelier were incredibly friendly and accommodating. My husband asked for an ice cream that was not on the menu and within a few minutes the assistant waiter had served it. This is the way it should be! Food was OK, not exceptional.
It was very hard to get attention at the bars or in the Oceanview. Drink waiters would be walking by with their trays above their heads, making no eye contact, not asking if you wanted anything. I would have to wave them down to get a glass of wine! Unacceptable! And the Oceanview was terribly overcrowded. Very hard to ever get a table. We have not experienced that before. Perhaps because it was cold outside and people couldn't be on the decks? I don't know, but not very pleasant. And there were many times that I was almost mowed down by employees in the Oceanview. They didn't vary their course at all, I had to move out of their way. Seemed odd to me.
Cruise director Patty needs to cut back on the coffee! Annoying voice that goes on forever. Shows, average. Cirque de Soleil type show was fun. Brent Nixon, who did the Alaska talks was very informative every time, entertaining most of the time, sometimes more manic than entertaining.
Cruise had way too many port days/hours for us. We knew that going in and thought it might be OK. When you can't be outside at all because of wind and cold what amounts to about three days in port is not enough for us.
All in all, I felt it was not a good value for our money. Flew round trip to Rome last year and spent 11 days on Azamara Quest for less than I spent for this Alaska cruise. Way better service and ports.

Gander, Newfoundland (KFGO-AM) Derek Olson of Fargo, who was pulled off an American Airlines flight last weekend because of drunk and violent behavior appeared in a Canadian court Friday.
He was ordered to pay almost $58,000 in fines. $48,000 covers the cost of landing the aircraft at Gander, and an additional $10,000 fine was handed down with conditions not to consume alcohol over a one year period. The 35-year old has five years to pay the fines. He was turned over to Canadian Border Services, in order to find a way back home.
The flight from Chicago to London was forced to make an emergency landing in Gander, Newfoundland Saturday night after refusing to follow the crew's orders to sit down.

I'm still amazed at the success I'm having with my random wire antenna on 80m. Yesterday, I worked a guy who said he was running 500W. He was, of course, 599 here, but he gave me a 589. There's now no doubt in my mind that a random wire can be an effective antenna.
On the HamRadioHelpGroup mailing list, there was a related discussion about the "almost random" wire antenna. The idea is that some lengths just won't work well on one or more bands. In general, you want to avoid choosing a length that is a half wavelength, or multiple of a half wavelength of a band that you want to operate.
Tim, N9PUZ notes:
I have used the 49.2 ft (15 Meter) length of wire on vacation with both automatic tuners and an MFJ Model 16010 tuner with good results for 40, 20, 17, and 15 Meter operation. This is not as good an antenna as a dipole or doublet in my opinion but it's a workable antenna.
Moe, AB8XA, added:
With all the bands we have at our disposal, finding an end-fed antenna length that's not near 1/2 wavelength on some bands is tough, impossible for me so far. As far as dodging 1/2 wavelengths, 86.9′ may be the best compromise for most bands. Using 95% velocity factor, I find 86.9′ roughly 1/3 λ on 80 m, 2/3 λ on 40 m, 4/3 λ on 20 m, 5/3 λ on 17 m, 7/3 λ on 12 m, and 8/3 λ on 10 m (2.60 – 2.73 λ). But it is exactly 1/2 λ on 60 m, and 0.94 λ, almost 3/3 or 2 half λ, across 30 m, and 1.95 – 2.00 λ, or 6/3 and 4 half λ, on 15 m.
My IC-718 doesn't have 60m, so slightly shortening the 86.9′ may make it possible to tune 30 m and the lower, CW end of 15 m. But that might bring the lower end of 10 m too close to 2.5 λ.
It appears to me, with an integrated tuner in the radio, which may not have the tuning range necessary for some bands, or even with a wide-range tuner in the shack, the end-fed brings the antenna inside and close to the operator. A remote automatic wide-range tuner, such as the Icom AH-4 or SGC SC-230, between the end of the antenna and lengths of coax and control cable to the shack, appears to me might resolve that problem.
One of these tuners mounted well away from the shack, and close to the ground to feed the required radials, also offers the opportunity to turn an almost all horizontal wire into an inverted-L. From what I've seen playing with some modeling software, adding some vertical portion to the antenna can slightly ease the cloud-burning effect of a relatively low horizontal run on lower frequencies, as well as significantly reduce the depth of the nulls of a long horizontal wire on higher frequencies. But I'm sure no antenna expert. It's always been my toughest subject.
My antenna is 85-ft. long, so I bet I can get mine to load on nearly any band. My next project is to connect it so an SGC-239 automatic antenna tuner that I have and just see what I can do on bands other than 80m.

UNDATED (WSAU-Wheeler News) A brief cold snap has Wisconsin homeless shelters bracing for more business. The demand for emergency housing remains relatively high, and the Emergency Shelter in Appleton is trying to get other shelters in the Fox Valley to work together. Jerome Martin says there are a half-dozen homeless shelters from Oshkosh to Green Bay -- and they can keep people off the streets if they combine their efforts.
The Fox Valley Warming Shelter has been busy this year, with more 10,000 overnight stays for the year ending September first. That's about a-third more than the previous year.
Overnight temperatures dipped into the teens this week for the first time this fall. It was 12 degrees in Hayward at seven o'clock this morning -- and it was 15 as far south as Sparta. Those kind of temps won't stay around, though. Forecasters say a new front will keep tonight's lows in the mid-to-upper-30's statewide, with a new chance of rain and-or light snow in the north into tomorrow. Highs are expected to be in the 40's each day through the weekend, with a slight cool-down on Veterans' Day Monday.

AP Sports Writer
AUBURN, Ala. (AP) - Auburn coach Gus Malzahn calls Arkansas State "1 of the hottest teams in college football."
He helped the Red Wolves start their current 9-game winning streak going into Saturday night's meeting. Malzahn was Arkansas State's coach last season.
Malzahn says the Red Wolves "know how to win, and they expect to win." He's trying to cultivate that mentality for his new team as well.
Both teams are led by coaches who made their reputations as offensive coordinators, Malzahn at Auburn and Tulsa; Bryan Harsin at Texas and Boise State.
Nevertheless both relied heavily on the running games instead of new starting quarterbacks in their openers.
Neither Auburn's Nick Marshall nor Utah State transfer Adam Kennedy put up big numbers and both attempted fewer than 20 passes.

Buggin' Out: Urban Bug Farming for the Future
In many cultures eating insects is more than a delicacy – it's a food staple. However, the use of bugs as a mainstream ingredient is a foreign idea in the developed world. As the human population continues to grow, we have to think about how to feed people. The UN's Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) has shown interest in using insects as an alternative food source. Due to their high concentration of the eight essential amino acids, vitamin B12, riboflavin, vitamin A, amazingly efficient converters that leave a much smaller environmental impact on the planet than cattle.
Once technologies are developed to produce insect-based food ingredients they can be incorporated into numerous food products. They would make great protein substitutes as any food additives to cereal, snack bars, or traditional meals. The high nutritional value, probiotic potential, and affordable price are just a few reasons why many Asian and Latin restaurants already offer insects on their menu.
Rethinking the urban farm and how to deal with the upcoming need to increase food supplies, Claire Lemarchand is planning a series of cricket farms to be placed throughout cities, that go beyond just growing bugs. Crickets are bred in cylindrical units surrounding a light source, to optimize yield, and are fed fresh food waste from the market and surrounding restaurants. While at night, the cricket farming units double as an urban lighting system.
Is urban bug farming a valid food source strategy? What other ideas could be implemented into our food supply networks? Or, could push the boundaries of urban farming and sustainable food sources to better prepare for future food demands?

Keir StapleJun 4 2013: One thing to keep in mind when considering bringing in undomesticated species as a food source is the potential for them to go invasive. It would be best if the harvested bugs were native to their region because it would be awful if a certain species was brought over and ended up devouring our crops or something of the sort. If all the potential drawbacks were worked out, I think bug harvesting would be great for the future, especially with insects' ability to reproduce quickly and in mass numbers. I would imagine they would go well with sushi. Here are some pictures of how insects can be incorporated into Japanese dining: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/picturegalleries/howaboutthat/3526527/Insect-sushi-creepy-crawly-cuisine.html
This conversation also reminded me of the old lollipops they used to sell in some stores that had the insects in the center. Anyone remember eating these as a kid?: http://carofranck.files.wordpress.com/2010/02/insect-lollipop1.jpg
Making another push at some type of campaign for kids like this would be cool to see.
It is also important to consider that on average insects can produce 1 kilogram of meat from 2 kilograms of feed, whereas cattle require 8 kilograms to produce 1 kilogram of meat. Thus, harvesting insects is much less resource intensive. (http://www.nydailynews.com/life-style/eats/u-n-eat-bugs-good-good-world-article-1.1342532)

UK Intellectual Property Office highlights the success of fight against Intellectual Property Crime
The Trading Standards Consumer Affairs Conference in Bournemouth is an opportunity for the UK Intellectual Property Office (UK-IPO) to celebrate the success of partnership working and new legislative powers in the on-going fight against IP Crime.
A new and effective enforcement tool in the fight against IP crime is asset confiscation. Using new legislation, the Proceeds of Crime Act, a Sheffield dealer selling counterfeit designer goods worth millions of pounds was recently told to pay back the proceeds of her crimes - £2.8million - or face 10 years in prison.
Other successes include the recent pilot scheme between the Wales Regional Intelligence Unit and the Optical Media Industry anti-piracy units which, with the support of Trading Standards, Police and Regional Asset Recovery Teams has led to major disruption of both physical and on-line crime groups.
Ian Fletcher, Chief Executive of the UK Intellectual Property Office said:
"The UK-IPO is committed to supporting and developing a partner agency approach in the ongoing fight against IP crime. This is all part of our overall efforts to ensure that the value of creativity and innovation is maximised for the benefit of the UK."
Detective Sergeant Graham Mogg, Intelligence Co-ordinator, who joined the UK-IPO from South Wales Police in August 2007 said:
''The criminal fraternity often view IP crime as a low risk, high profit business venture, however, the individuals and organised crime groups engaged in IP infringement undermine community values, impact on legitimate businesses and damage the UK economy".
Editor's notes
- The three day international Conference in Bournemouth which started on 24 June involves Trading Standards professionals from throughout the United Kingdom; senior leaders and decision makers from local and central Government including - Government Ministers, the Office of Fair Trading, BERR and LACORS - as well as representatives of business and commerce together with consumer organisations.
- Trade mark counterfeiting and copyright piracy are serious IP crimes that can,affect foreign investments, affect business profits, cost government revenues and violate the rights of trademark and copyright owners.
- Fake products pose a significant safety threat to consumers worldwide. Unsuspecting customers and patients put their health, and even lives, in jeopardy each time they use fake medicines, alcoholic beverages, food products and travel in automobiles or aircraft maintained with substandard counterfeit parts.
- Intellectual property (IP) crime is a generic term used to describe a wide range of counterfeiting and piracy offences.
- The IP Crime Report (2.12Mb) is available for download
Date of release: 25 June 2008

This is the story of the Japanese prisoner of war camps on the island of Taiwan (Formosa) during the Second World War and of the men who were interned in them.
It seems that many people know about the hardship and suffering of the POW's working on the Death Railway in Thailand and Burma, but few know about the "hell-camps" of Taiwan. We hope to tell the story of the suffering and deprivation endured by the POW's so that all will know - and hopefully never forget!
Our site contains descriptions of the prison camps, a detailed list of all the former prisoners, an honour roll of those who died, and the story of the
Taiwan POW Camps Memorial Society.
It is 70 years ago today - September 12th 1944, that the Hellships Rakuyo Maru and Kachidoki Maru were torpedoed and sunk en route to Japan by American submarines with a loss in life of over 1,750 POWs. On September 21st the Hofuku Maru - another hellship carrying almost 1,300 POWs who had formerly also worked on the Death Railway, was bombed and sunk with only about 250 survivors. Later some of these men would die on future hellship voyages as well.
In addition the Shinyo Maru was torpedoed on September 7th with the loss of 667 POWs and on September 18th the greatest single ship disaster of WWII in terms of loss of life was the Junyo Maru where 5620 POWs and Asian labourers died. Hundreds more also died from thirst, starvation and disease on other hellships that were not torpedoed or bombed.
September 1944 was the worst month of the war for POW deaths by 'friendly fire' as they sailed crowded aboard old transport ships that the Japanese refused to mark with red crosses or any indication they were carrying POWs - in direct violation of the Geneva Convention.
Personally, the director lost two Australian second-cousins on the Rakuyo Maru and in recent days we have received emails from other family members who lost loved ones on these ships. It is a special time of remembrance for us all, and we should never forget those men who paid with their lives for our freedom.

This year's Remembrance Week Event will take place from November 5 – 12, 2014.
We have fifteen overseas guests coming to Taiwan this year, including one former POW.
There will be a POW Banquet on Saturday November 8, and the Remembrance Day service will be held on Sunday the 9th in the Taiwan POW Memorial Park on the site of the former Kinkaseki POW Camp in Jinguashi .
More information will be forthcoming later iand we look forward to having many local friends and supporters join us.
Democracy took root in Japan nearly 70 years ago after the end of World War II. Who would have thought that someone could overturn it so easily? But Prime Minister Shinzo Abe has done just that !
For the past year and half we have featured articles on the homepage regarding the sweeping changes taking place in Japan under the new LDP government of Shinzo Abe and his Right Wing extremists.
We have shown from reports and studies, first hand news accounts and references, how the Abe government wants to return to the extreme Right Wing policies of former times, how they want to rescind the so-called apologies made by former prime ministers and renounce the previous stand on the Comfort Women, now saying that they were simply prostitutes and that they were necessary and that they were not co-erced or forced by the Japanese military to perform services for the troops. In this time they have forced new laws through their parliament limiting the rights and freedoms of Japanese people, and in a similar manner this spring have by-passed Japan's pacifist constitution in order to make it possible for Japan to wage war again. Even more alarmingly, they will continue to limit or abolish human rights and freedoms, so they can persecute those who differ with their opinion or who want to peacefully gather in protests. If one looks back at the history of the 20th Century, one can clearly see that these were also the policies adopted and propagated by Adolf Hitler and the Nazis when they came to power in Germany 81 years ago in 1933! In only 1 1/2 years people are already calling Shinzo Abe a fascist!
All of the previous articles from the homepage have been saved together in our Articles and Stories Section of the website. For those who are interested, please CLICK HERE to read the series of articles which reveal the startling changes which have taken place, and which will continue to take place in the near future under this extreme regime. Things have happened so fast in Japan in the past 1 1/2 years that is has been hard to keep up and one wonders what the future holds for the people of Japan and as well, its Asian neighbours!
Over the past number of years many articles have been written about the Yasukuni Temple (War Shrine) in Tokyo and of Japanese prime ministers visits there to honour Japan's war dead and particularly the 14 Class A war criminals enshrined there as 'gods'. These visits have caused much controversy and also angered the governments and the people of China and Korea particularly, due to the enormous atrocities that those war criminals and their armies carried out in their countries - and all across Asia, in WWII.
The only photos I have ever seen of the Yasukuni Shrine have been taken from the front, and indeed I have the same photos taken on my visit there many years ago. However I did not go to pay repsects to the Japanese war criminals - I went to see and try to understand more of the POWs' story. I have also visited the adjacent war museum - which is not bad overall for the military relics it contains, but the portrayal of the Japanese in WWII in most cases could not be further from the truth. However, never have I ever seen any photos of the tablets or memorials which are so often talked about on these occasions when the prime minister and other officials visit the shrine. I always wondered what they looked like and what form they took.
Now finally on August 27th 2014, thanks to an article in the Washingtom Post which featured a story about Prime Minister Abe sending an official letter to the Koyasan Temple's annual ceremony honouring hundreds of war criminals, we can finally see what the inside of these Japanese war shrines looks like.
The ceremony was held April 29 at the Koyasan Okuno-in Buddhist Temple in Koya town, Wakayama Prefecture in central Japan, and Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe sent a letter to the ceremony honouring more than a thousand World War II-era war criminals and praising their contributions to the country. He wrote, "I humbly express my deepest sympathy for the martyrs ... who sacrificed their souls to become the foundation of peace and prosperity in Japan today." A copy of the letter was obtained by The Associated Press.
The ceremony was held in front of a stone monument that honours about 1,180 Japanese war criminals, including wartime Prime Minister Hideki Tojo and 13 other executed officials. Abe, however, has said that those convicted by the tribunal are not considered war criminals under Japanese domestic law - well go figure - of course they wouldn't be!
So here at last is a photo - courtesy of the Kyodo News and Associated Press, of the 'inside' of a Japanese War Shrine to its wartime 'heroes' -
- now we can see what the Japanese leaders see when they visit these war shrines. The names of all the war criminals are inscribed on the memorial tablets shown here at the Koyasan Okuno-in Buddhist Temple.
There is nothing wrong with having their names inscribed as a remembrance of them in death - as in any 'cemetery', but it is the constant honour and praise by the highest-ranking officials on behalf of the government of Japan of these war criminals who caused so much suffering and death all across Asia in WWII - and revering them as 'gods' - that is so wrong!

Healthcare IT interoperability
Tuesday - 7/31/2012, 11:39pm EDT
The Military Health system is a $50 billion endeavor and that is separate from the systems at the Department of Health and Human Services.
The difficulty arises when one tries to communicate between systems.
Today's interview is with Mario Hyland from AEGIS.net.
His professional background is understanding the subtleties of exchanging information among varying medical systems.
His company has a noble goal of "Ensuring health IT solutions interoperability for the 21st century and beyond".
AEGIS had developed a software model for interoperability called the "Developers Integration Lab (DIL)."
During the interview, Hyland describes the key component of exchanging data as well as best practices for medical health records.

Turn Holiday Cards into Phone Contacts
Under The Sycamore
Have you started to receive holiday cards in the mail yet? It's always fun to see everyone's family photos, but what do you do with them after the season is over? Pack them up and put them in the attic? Toss them? Check out this idea that will have you enjoying them year round.
There is so much love (not to mention expense) that goes into family holiday cards. They might be serious or ironic, but either way there's no point in only seeing them one time a year. Instead, Ashley Ann over at Under The Sycamore had a rather ingenious idea for keeping the holiday spirit going. She's started snapping photos of her holiday cards and using them as the contact photo for her friends on her smart phone. It's a great way to see those photos year round (assuming they're good enough friends to call once in a while).

such a good idea, love it!
Great idea, never thought about that!
This is a great idea! Except that most people just send pics of their kids!!
I hate that. I would much rather have a pic of the whole family, than just the kids.
Those that send me pics of just their kids are going to get pics of my 4 cats! :)
btw... this post is a great idea.
I love this idea! I will have a whole new perspective when receiving Christmas cards and photos this season.
Wow, what a great idea. Yay internets!
