Over the years, the Board has grown to include the Weaver Learning Complex, offering preschool through high school education as well as an integrated daycare center. The Tallmadge Center is now one of ten facilities including locations in Akron, Osceola (Potomac), Coventry, Ellet, Springfield area (Southern), Cuyahoga Falls, Barberton and Twinsburg. The county board is also instrumental in providing services throughout the community to individuals with disabilities ranging in age from birth to death. Currently, the board offers services to more than 4,000 individuals with disabilities in Summit County.
In addition to these facilities, the county board has established a new way of doing business that is placing service and support administrators (SSA) into the community, so they can begin to serve people in the neighborhoods where they live. Community SSA offices can now be found on West Market Street and in Hudson and all of the county board facility locations.

Makedo Reusable Connectors
- Location: online only
- Website: makedo.com.au
Store History
- Headquarters: Abbotsford Victoria, Australia
We attended the annual Toy Fair this week to scout out new and innovative products coming to market. One that fits in well with our how-to theme this month is Australian-based makedo. Makedo is a set of nifty, reusable connectors to help your kids creations stay together and move.
A makedo kit includes four types of things: child-friendly saws, pings, clips and hinges. It's more environmentally friendly than using gobs of duct tape and will make those charming treasures-from-trash more durable and easy to play with. The makedo folks had a variety of ideas of things to make on display at Toy Fair and we're sure your kids will have hundreds of their own ideas.
Makedo just launched and there's a small delay shipping to the U.S., but you can still place your order and they'll ship out as soon as they can. Kits come in three sizes, depending on the number of pieces, and range in price from $25- $75. Find out more at makedo and check out their gallery of makedo-enabled creations.

Cool, but a little pricey.
I like using "zip-ties." After stacking and building, you just punch the holes and set the zip-ties for the child.
That's some seriously expensive plastic.
What are zip-ties? Where can I buy them?
Any hardware store; sometimes they are called "cable ties."

China Takes Aim at the Profitable Heart of U.S. Manufacturing
For a long time, Americans have channeled their fear about China's factories into an exasperated, four-word refrain: They're stealing our jobs! By offering low-wage competition to U.S. workers, the Chinese picked off low-end manufacturing work for multinational corporations, whether it was stitching shoes for Nike or assembling iPads for Apple.
In the last few years, though, the anxiety has shifted a bit. Instead of worrying we'll be undercut on the price of manual labor, the concern is we could actually be out-competed in higher-end markets. You hear it when Democrats like President Obama talk about China winning the race on green jobs. And it came to my mind this week, thanks to a piece in Bloomberg Businessweek on China's growing prowess in heavy industry.
While China transformed itself into the world's top exporter by building light goods and electronics, the biggest chunk of its exports are now large, high-margin goods such as ships, locomotives, and construction equipment, as illustrated in the Businessweek graph above.
Not only are China's capitalists moving in this direction, but they're getting a hand from the government. As Businessweek reports, "Equipment manufacturing, shipbuilding, and cars are among the industries slated to receive $2.5 billion from the government this year to improve technology and product quality."
This should be of some concern to U.S. policy makers. Heavy machinery and transportation equipment are at the heart of the U.S. industrial base. They're part of our Big Six manufacturing sectors, along with food, chemicals, electronics, and metal products. These are businesses where labor is a relatively small part of the overall cost of making the product, and where America's technologically advanced factories have traditionally given us an edge. If they founder, there's not much left to replace them.

When versioning is enabled in your list or library, you can store, track, and restore items in a list and files in a library whenever they change. Versioning, combined with other settings, such as checkout, gives you a lot of control of the content that is posted on your site and can provide real value if you ever have a need to look at or restore an old version of an item or file.
Anyone with permission to manage lists can turn versioning on or off for a library. Versioning is available for list items in all default list types—including calendars, issue tracking lists, and custom lists. It is also available for all file types that can be stored in libraries, including Web Part pages.
Note If you are an Office 365 customer, versioning is now turned on by default when you create new OneDrive for Business libraries, and it will automatically save the last ten versions of a document. This will help you prevent losing important documents or data. If you have existing libraries on your OneDrive for Business site or on your team site that do not have versioning enabled, you can turn versioning on for them at any time.
You can use versioning to:
Top of Page
When versioning is enabled, versions are created in the following situations:
Note If file checkout is required, you have to check the file in to create its first version.
There can be up to three current versions of a file at any given time: the checked-out version, the latest minor or draft version, and the latest published or major version. All other versions are considered historical versions. Some current versions are only visible to users who have permissions to view them.
Some organizations track both major and minor versions of files in their libraries. Others only track the major versions. Major versions are identified by whole numbers, such as 5.0; minor versions are identified by decimal numbers, such as 5.1.
Most organizations use minor versions when files are under development, and major versions when certain milestones are reached or when the files are ready for review by a wide audience. In many organizations, draft security is set to allow only the owner of a file and people who have permissions to approve files. That means that minor versions cannot be seen by anyone else until a major version is published.
Major versions are available for lists, but minor versions are not available. Each version of a list item is numbered with a whole number. If your organization requires approval of items in a list, the items remain in Pending status until they are approved by someone who has permissions to approve them. While in Pending status they are numbered with decimal numbers and are referred to as drafts.
Version numbers are automatically added each time you create a new version. In a list or library that has major versioning enabled, the versions have whole numbers, such as 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, and so on. In libraries, your administrator might enable versioning for both major and minor versions. When minor versions are being tracked, they have decimal numbers such as 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, and so on. When one of those versions is published as a major version, its number becomes 2.0. Subsequent minor versions are numbered 2.1, 2.2, 2.3, and so on.
When you discard a checkout, the version number does not change. If the most recent version was version 3.0, it remains at 3.0 after you discard the checkout.
When you delete a version, the version goes to the Recycle Bin and its number goes with it. The Version History will show the remaining version numbers. The other version numbers do not change. For example, if you have a document that has minor versions 2.1 and 2.2, and you decide to delete version 2.1, the resulting version history shows only versions 2.0 and 2.2. The following picture shows this.
Some organizations allow unlimited versions of files and others apply limitations. You might discover, after checking in the latest version of a file, that an old version is missing. If your most recent version is 26.0 and you notice that there is no longer a version 1.0, it means that the administrator configured the library to allow only 25 major versions of a file. The addition of the 26th version causes the first version to be deleted. Only versions 2.0 through 26.0 remain. Similarly, if a 27th version is added, only versions 3.0 through 27.0 remain.
The administrator may also decide to limit the number of minor versions to just those for a set number of the most recent versions. For example, if 25 major versions are allowed, the administrator might decide to retain minor drafts for only the most recent five major versions. The default number of minor versions between major versions is 512. If you attempt to save another minor version, you will see an error message that tells you that you must first publish the document. Your site administrator can change the default to allow fewer minor versions.
Limiting the number of versions is generally a good practice. It means you can conserve space on the server and reduce clutter for users. But, if your organization is required to save all versions for legal or other reasons, don't apply any limits.
Versioning is not turned on automatically when a list or library is created, but anyone with permission to manage lists can turn on versioning. On many sites that is the same person who manages the site, because the lists and libraries inherit permissions from the site. In addition to enabling versioning, the site owner (or another person managing the list or library) decides whether or not to require content approval, who can view draft items, and whether or not checkout is required. Each of these decisions has an impact on how versioning works. For example, if the person managing a library decides to require check-out, version numbers are only created when a file is checked in. If content approval is required, major version numbers are not applied until files are approved by someone who has permission to do so.
Important If the people who work in your library are planning to co-author documents, do not configure the library to require check-out. People cannot work as co-authors when the documents that they need are checked out.
To learn how to turn on versioning for a list or library, see Enable and configure versioning for a list or library. Find related tasks and information below or in the See Also section of this article.
If versioning is enabled in your library, the person who sets it up determines whether or not to track both major and minor versions and also determines who can see the minor versions. In most cases, when content approval is required, only the owner of the file, and people who have permission to approve items, can see the minor versions. In other libraries, anyone who can edit files in the library, or anyone who has Read permission to the library, can see all versions. After a version is approved, everyone who has Read permission to the list or library can see the version.
Although lists do not have major and minor versions, any item that is in Pending status is considered a draft. In most cases, only the creator of the item and persons who have Full Control or Design permissions can see drafts. A draft shows up in Pending status for those people, but others only see the most recent Approved version in the version history. If the file is rejected, it stays in Pending status until someone who has the necessary permissions deletes it.
Note Draft security, in some lists and libraries, is configured to allow all site users to see both Pending and Approved versions.
When you check out a file from a library that has versioning turned on, a new version is created every time you check it back in. And, if major and minor versions are turned on, you can decide, at check-in, which type of version you are checking in. In libraries where checkout is required, versions are only created upon check-in.
In libraries where checkout is not required, a new version is created the first time you save after opening the file. Each subsequent save overwrites the version that you created with the first save. If you close the application and then reopen the document, the first save will, once again, produce a version. This can cause the number of versions to proliferate very rapidly.
Important If you are co-authoring a document, do not check it out unless you have good reason to prevent others from working on the document.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WHAS11) -- The Kentucky State Fair Board met for the first time Thursday since plans for the proposed Bluegrass Boardwalk theme park fell through.
Board members said they were disappointed, because there were no signs that the Koch family of Indiana intended to walk away from the deal.
The Koch family, who owns Holiday World, announced in February that they planned to open Bluegrass Boardwalk at the site of the former Kentucky Kingdom.
They backed out, saying it was too difficult to deal with the red tape that came along with a state lease.
Now, the Fair Board says it will ask the state and city to help find a new use for the property.
The Fair Board also voted Thursday to terminate their lease to operate the Kentucky Yum! Center on behalf of the Louisville Arena Authority.
The arena authority has hired the firm AEG to take over day-to-day operations of the Yum! Center beginning July 1st.

If you're looking to enjoy a meal with your spouse and don't want to spend a lot of money, I recommend the Feast for Two. You'll get a lot of food for good price.

- Worst service ever. Angry waitressJgillDined on 8/2/2014We are extremely disappointed by our waitress and location of our reserved table which was right behind the hostess stand leaving us exposed to the whole lobby. Our waitress could not have been and ruder, from drink orders to insulting my 75 year old mother to lack of service.Special Features:
- dashed expectationsKrisDined on 7/29/2014They restaurant was very nice and clean but lacking in the service department. First my mother was served wine in a broken glass. We had reservartions at 7 and had to wait until every last one of the party was there to be seated which added about 10 more minutes for them to get us a table. After twenty minutes of sitting at the table watching everyone that worked there walk by us without even looking over, I had to go to the hostess stand to ask for a server. The chef was excellent (chris I think his name) and the food was amazing but we went there to celebrate my birthday and was not happy that I had to ask for a server.Special Features:
- Birthday SpecialKkh3139Dined on 7/25/2014Benihana is a great place for a group or special occasion dinner. We were celebrating birthday and had a group of 7 that was perfect for the table where we were seated. We enjoyed the chef cooking style and his art of showmanship. The food was great and not one person left hungry. We would be sure to return to Benihana again in the not to distant future.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Fun dinnerJeffDined on 7/19/2014Great time! Chul was an awesome chef, kids had a great time and food was good, much lighter than most Japanese steakhouses.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- DisappointedFoodloverDined on 7/12/2014We had been here once before a few months ago and it was amazing. This visit, not so much. We live over an hour away and specifically made the trip for this dinner out. We sat at a table in the lounge and was expecting a nice relaxing time. The service was poor (waitress non-existent and took a long time to receive food), the sushi rolls were okay, but not like the first time. Our dinner was not good at all. My chicken was extremely dry, the vegetables were not like they were our first visit and our waitress was non-existent after our meals were basically thrown in front of us. This meal was certainly not worth the $75 (we just had sodas to drink). We will not be in a hurry to return. Sad seeing we really enjoyed the first visit.
- ServiceNikkifoodieDined on 7/9/2014I have been to the restaurant many of times and had a great experience. This time the server was not attentive, three people at our table orders were not correct, did not offer to fix it or even apologize.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great BirthdayOhioGuyDined on 6/26/2014Over the years Benihana has reduced the showmanship and increased it's prices considerably so we don't go very much anymore. However, we DO go on birthdays thanks to the $30 credit they give if you are part of their program. I miss the flames and showmanship though!Special Features:
- Did not feel specialScottgirlDined on 6/22/2014Usually when you go to a hibachi style Restaurant they make you feel special. I've been to this Benihana location 4 times and inky once out if the 4 times I felt like they cared we were there. This time they didn't stick us in the hibachi booth ( thank goodness, so uncomfortable) but we were put in the end and the other party on the other side which knew the people who worked there. I felt ignored, our chefs started cooking and our drinks which we order a while just came and than our salads. And this was a Sunday evening not busy at all. I will never go back to this location at Polaris again.
- First visitStewartVIPDined on 6/19/2014First time there. We were early and waited at the bar (great happy hour drinks and snacks). We'll be back as service and food were wonderful.Special Features:
- A Good ExperiencegbfoodcriticDined on 6/17/2014The food was very good, a bit pricey, but that is to be expected at a Japanese Steakhouse. I would suggest paying the extra $3 for the chicken fried rice. It was so good! I had steak and shrimp, and it may have been the biggest shrimp I have ever had! I was impressed with the friendly staff, prompt service, and the overall cleanliness of the place. It wasn't as flashy or as exciting as other Japanese Steakhouses can be since there isn't fire or a lot of throwing of food. However, I really enjoyed our chef. He was kind, personable, and professional. I would go again for a special occasion.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- So refreshing!YuckVIPDined on 6/15/2014I like the fact that i live so close so that I can enjoy all their great food, so fresh and a great selection of meats, seafood and sushi at its best!Special Features:

- Anniversary DinnerFoodieDined on 6/7/2014Food was excellent! Service good! Was a little disappointed because when I made reservations on open table, I indicated it was our anniversary but nothing was done for the celebration. Overall it was delicious though!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- fun and good foodzenyatta1Dined on 6/2/2014consistently good food and entertaining to see it all cooked in front of you. Generally go for special occasion. Great birthday club benefit. Overall be ready to drop some cash though, especially pricey cocktails.Special Features:
- Exactly what you'd expectleesmithDined on 5/31/2014These ambiance and entertaining did not disappoint. The food, while normally excellent, was a little below Benihana standards on this night. The quality of the filet mignon was of lesser quality than most. The Benihana punch on his night was not strong enough.Special Features:
- yoseDined on 5/22/2014The food is very good. But it's weird to be arranged to sit in a table with strangers.Special Features:

- CBJfanJimDined on 5/19/2014I ordered the Land 'N Sea with filet mignon and sea scallops. I ordered the filet medium rare, and when the chef gave it to me, it was more medium well. The chef had said it was his first night, so it was forgivable. The rest of the food was excellent.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Great Experience!OpenTable Diner Since 2010Dined on 5/17/2014We went to celebrate my friend's birthday and we had a wonderful time. I servers were very attentive and the food was very good. We've decided that this would be a great spot to do many more celebrations!Special Features:
- May 17thOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 5/17/2014I took my husband there for his birthday, and while I had mentioned several times it was his birthday, nothing special was done in celebration. There was a table next to us with a birthday and they came out and sang, etc, which was a little disappointing. The server seemed quite busy and a little frazzled. She was still great, as was the food- just wish his night could have been special as requested!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Very good timeOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 5/13/2014The service was great as it always is and the food was tasty. It's always fun to get basically a three course meal and a show. Highly recommended.Special Features:
- very poor servicesowmyaDined on 5/12/2014I had gone to Benihana for a friend's birthday. The waitress didnt seem interested in us as she walked away everytime even before we finished our sentence. The chef on the other hand was very nice and interacted with us, asked if we are celebrating anything. The waitress didnt even ask if we wanted any dessert and got us the check. I was hoping they get us some dessert (I was willing to pay for it) since I had mentioned on the reservation. When I told this to the waitress, she asked if I had a birthday coupon and if she had to sing, I said no because at this point I wasnt interested. And the prices here are extremely high not at all worth the money.
- Not what we were expectingHeatherNDined on 5/11/2014I had heard many great things about Montgomery Inn. I lived in Cincinnati for a time and enjoyed eating at the original location. This location fell short for me. Our contact with staff was awkward and annoying and the food was not very good at all. Neither of us ate much of our meals. I felt like I was eating at Applebees, which is fine if that's what you're expecting to eat, not at a classy establishment with prices to match.Special Features:

The FDA approves a new targeted drug to treat advanced breast cancer. Georgia Cancer Specialists was one of the leaders in the clinical trial and research.
The new drug T-DM1 treats what's called Herceptin 2 positive breast cancer. This type accounts for about 1 in 5 women with breast cancer.
Breast cancer patient Susan Reid was thrilled to learn there's a new treatment for some patients.
"It just changes the whole reaction, my reaction anyway, and most people I know who have been diagnosed with breast cancer. There's just so much going on. It is exciting, Reid said.
Her doctor, Dr. Mansoor Saleh, played an integral role in the clinical trial to get the drug approved.
"I live for the moment of having new drugs for the patient. I think the patient deserves the drug called hope. But I think the patient deserves more than that, a drug that can kill their cancer," Saleh said.
Saleh said the prognosis for advanced breast cancer patients whose cancer progressed after chemotherapy and had herceptin treatments, was to live two and a half to three years. T-DM1 changes that.
"It is a dramatic array of hope, a new drug that did not exist before. To us in the scientific field, we now can deliver, chemotherapy in this case, T-DM1 directly to the enemy, i.e. the tumor cell and not harm the rest of the tissue," Saleh said.
Saleh calls T-DM1 a major breakthrough that gives patients approximately another six months.
"Within that six months life can change, new drugs can be approved," Saleh said.
Reid calls the women in the study brave, and believes it takes courage and offers hope to others living with breast cancer.
"It makes me think it's a temporary inconvenience and not a life sentence," Reid said.
Reid is now participating in a trial herself. Saleh said participation in trials are crucial to these types of breakthroughs.
The drug will be available for prescription in two to three months.
Georgia Cancer Specialists were recently just approved for another trial which will test this same drug in breast cancer patients earlier.

Prison Film Unknowingly Cast Real-Life Murderer
Here's a strange, disturbing case of art imitating life: The low-budget film, Felon, starring Val Kilmer and Steven Dorff, was casting extras for prison scenes in Albuquerque in late 2007. One of the men casting director David Córdova hired for the film was Clifton Blooomfield, who has since confessed to murdering five people in four separate crimes, two of which occurred before filming began. He continued his spree a month after working on the movie.
Bloomfield told Córdova when he auditioned that he had appeared in Breaking Bad, a cable series filmed on location in
Albuquerque, as well as in the film To Live and Die. "We're expecting actors to come to our casting calls," Córdova
told a local news station.
"I'm not expecting the real thing to come through."
Already a convicted felon, Bloomfield was on parole for an armed home invasion he carried out in 2005 when he auditioned for the role, and reprehensibly, around a month after his parole, Bloomfield murdered two senior citizens in their home. Shortly thereafter, the murderer auditioned for a background role in the film, which is now out on DVD.
Bloomfield was arrested again in June 2008 and is serving 195 years on murder charges in the same penitentiary where Felon was filmed.

A skydiving trip turned tragic Saturday in Zephyrhills.
An instructor and his student were killed when something went wrong during their jump. The remains of the men were located in a wooded area just south of Zephyrhills Municipal Airport off Yonkers Rd. at approximately 7:30 p.m.
According to a Pasco County Sheriff's Office report the deceased were visiting the area from Iceland. They were among a group of 22 that went up for a skydiving jump just after 10 a.m.
The instructor has been identified as 40-year-old Orvar Arnarson from Reykjavik, Iceland. The student has been identified as 25-year-old Andrimar Pordarson. His hometown is not known.
"It's really sad; something went terribly wrong," said Skydive City Manager TK Hayes. "It's a tragic day for a bunch of friends over here on vacation, having a good time."
When only 20 jumpers returned officials with Skydive City contacted the Zephryhills Police Department and a search for the two men began. Pasco SO deputies were called in just after 3:30 p.m.
The official cause of the tragedy is not yet known as the investigation continues.

The most westerly part of North Wales, the Llŷn forms a cliff- and cove-lined finger of land that juts out south and west from Snowdonia, separating Cardigan and Caernarfon bays. Its hills taper along its spine, carrying an ancient route to Aberdaron, where pilgrims once sailed for Ynys Enlli (Bardsey Island). Most come to the Llŷn for its beaches, especially those of the south coast family resorts of Pwllheli and Abersoch, but Aberdaron is the star around here.
Nowhere in Wales is more remote and staunchly Welsh: the term Stryd Fawr is used instead of High Street, and in most local shops you'll only hear Welsh spoken. The Llŷn is reached through one of the two gateway towns: Porthmadog, home to the private "dream village" of Portmeirion and terminus of the Ffestiniog Railway; or Caernarfon, where a magnificent fortress guards the mouth of the Menai Strait.Read More
Porthmadog and around
Porthmadog and around
In a region stuffed with wonderful views, PORTHMADOG, at the crook of the Cambrian Coast and the Llŷn, has some of the finest – up the Vale of Ffestiniog and across the estuary of the Glaslyn River to the mountains of Snowdonia. The bustling town itself makes little of its wonderful position, but it's a good base for exploring. Wales's heritage railway obsession reaches its apogee here with two fantastic lines – the peerless Ffestiniog Railway and the newly restored Welsh Highland Railway – and if steam trains don't blow your whistle, you can head for the strange but wonderful Italianate folly of Portmeirion.
Ffestiniog Railway
The Ffestiniog Railway ranks as Wales's finest narrow-gauge rail line, twisting and looping up 650ft from the wharf at Porthmadog to the slate mines at Blaenau Ffestiniog, thirteen miles away. The gutsy little engines make light of the steep gradients and chug through stunning scenery, from broad estuarine expanses to the deep greens of the Vale of Ffestiniog, only fading to grey on the final approaches to the slate-bound upper terminus at Blaenau Ffestiniog. In the late nineteenth century the rail line was carrying 100,000 tons a year of Blaenau Ffestiniog slate, but after the collapse of the slate roofing industry the line was abandoned (in 1946) and fell into disrepair. Reconstruction of the tracks was complete by 1982.
Leaving Porthmadog, trains cross The Cob and then stop at Minffordd, a mile from Portmeirion.
Welsh Highland Railway
In 2011 the narrow-gauge Welsh Highland Railway once again connected Porthmadog with Caernarfon, 25 miles away. One of the most scenic lines in a land packed with charming railways, it rises from sea level to 650ft along the southern flank of Snowdon and passes a gorgeous river estuary, oak woods and the Aberglaslyn Gorge, where the line hugs the tumbling river.
The full Porthmadog–Caernarfon round trip gives you a full five hours on the train but only an hour in Caernarfon. Alternatively, ride to Beddgelert then walk down the Aberglaslyn Pass to Nantmor (1hr) and catch the train back to Porthmadog from there.
Best known as "The Village" in the 1960s cult British TV series The Prisoner, the Italianate private village of PORTMEIRION, set on a small rocky peninsula in Tremadog Bay, was the brainchild of eccentric architect Clough Williams-Ellis. He dreamed of building an ideal village using a "gay, light-opera sort of approach", and the result is certainly theatrical: a stage set with a lucky dip of buildings arranged to distort perspectives and reveal tantalizing glimpses of the seascape behind.
In the 1920s, Williams-Ellis bought the site and turned an existing house into a hotel, the income from this providing funds for his "Home for Fallen Buildings". Endangered structures in every conceivable style from all over Britain and abroad were brought here and arranged around a Mediterranean piazza: a Neoclassical colonnade from Bristol, Siamese figures, a Jacobean town hall, a campanile and a pantheon. Painted in shades of turquoise, ochre and buff yellows, it is continually surprising, with hidden entrances and cherubs popping out of crevices – eclectic yet somehow all of a piece.
More than three thousand visitors a day come to ogle in summer, when it can be a delight; fewer in winter, when it seems just bizarre.
CAERNARFON, superbly set at the southern entrance to the Menai Strait, has a lot going for it. Its distinctive polygonal-towered castle is an undoubted highlight, the Welsh Highland Railway connects the town with the slopes of Snowdon and Porthmadog, and the modern marina development adds Galeri Caernarfon, a modest but interesting arts centre. The town walls are no match for Conwy's, but there is some great accommodation nearby, making this a good base for exploring both sides of Snowdon, the Llŷn and even Anglesey.
Caernarfon Castle
In 1283, Edward I started work on Caernarfon Castle, the strongest link in his Iron Ring, a decisive hammer-blow to any Welsh aspirations to autonomy and the ultimate symbol of Anglo-Norman military might – it withstood two sieges by Owain Glyndŵr with a garrison of only 28 men-at-arms. As you enter through the King's Gate, the castle's strength is immediately apparent. Embrasures and murder holes between the octagonal towers face in on no fewer than five gates and six portcullises, and that's once you have crossed the moat. Inside, the huge lawn gives a misleading impression as the wall dividing the two original wards, and all the buildings that filled them, crumbled away long ago. The towers are in a much better state, linked by an exhausting honeycomb of wall-walks and tunnels. The tallest is the Eagle Tower whose three slender turrets are adorned with eagle sculptures and give the best views of the town. The Northeast Tower houses the Prince of Wales Exhibition, just outside which is the slate dais that was used for Charles's investiture in 1969.

AWeber Email Marketing Tips
Spam Buttons and Complaints
Ever gotten a spam complaint?
At AWeber, email deliverability is serious business. We and our customers take great care to manage their lists well so they can enjoy the best possible deliverability.
Even so, occasionally subscribers lodge spam complaints.
When your subscriber does this, you feel indicted. After all, you're not spamming. Your subscribers come to you and sign up. Nameless, faceless guys hawking drugs and penny stocks are sending spam. You've gotten enough of it in your life to know the difference between it and what you send.
So why did your subscriber cry "SPAM?"
"Spam" Buttons from the Subscriber's Point of View
Whenever someone gets an email in their inbox, several buttons can be used to take action with the message, such as:
- Reply
- Forward
- Delete
In most, if not all, email programs, there's also a button labeled "Spam" (or "Junk"). If the subscriber clicks on it, the message is deleted. The subscriber is also telling the ISP that he/she doesn't want to get email from this sender. Whatever else happens behind-the-scenes doesn't concern Susie Subscriber, at least not in her mind.
This is the button that generates a spam complaint against the sender. It's located high on the screen in front of the user, and it's easy to click (prominent as it is, for some people it's hard not to click it). For example, here's where it is in…
|AOL Webmail
|Yahoo's New Mail Beta
Even zooming out as we do here, it's easy to see that in each email program it appears at the top of the page, near the center and is easy to find and click on.
So I DIDN'T Spam…but am I still in trouble?
One spam complaint won't ruin your day. Getting a lot of them can cause problems for you. One possible effect of a high complaint rate may be an ISP content filtering your messages (not delivering messages with your website URL in them, for example).
What do I do?
ISPs know that their customers use the "Spam" button to unsubscribe.
Since your subscribers are coming to you and asking for your information, you shouldn't be getting many complaints. If you are getting more than you'd like, however, there are steps you can take to minimize your complaint rate.
Confirm Your Subscribers. Prompt your subscribers to confirm their subscribe request (via a link in a confirmation email) prior to making them active on your list. This helps to qualify your subscribers, which helps to minimize your complaint rate.
Include Subscription Details in Your Messages. Place a section at the beginning of your messages that details why the subscriber is receiving them, along with instructions for unsubscribing. This can reduce your complaint rate and possibly your unsubscribe rate, by jogging your subscribers' memory of why they're getting email from you.
Stay On-Topic. Your subscribers are signing up to get a specific set of information from you. If you send something that's not consistent or relevant to what they signed up to receive, it's likely that you'll get more complaints.
Following these guidelines will help you to keep your complaints to a minimum and free your time and mind up to focus on other areas of your mailings and business.

I fully agree with you and I think that's been happening to me, when a person with an AOL email unsubscribed, despite of the fact that they willingly signed up by themselves, they click on a certain button and a "rebounding" email comes "bouncing" into my hands saying that there is a complaint from an AOL user for sending a spam email, it sounds unfair, isn't?
However, I think you are right that we have to stay on the topic why people signed up, other wise they are right to a certain extent for complaining about spam.12/14/2006 2:48 pm
You put it so well. I wrote a brief article on the topic a while ago after seeing my friend use the Spam button to delete his own friend's email.
My friend received a typical fwd from another friend. He viewed it and called me over to see a cartoon included in the email. He then clicked Spam. I realized he only clicked it to delete the email so I explained the difference and how it effects the sender (in this case his friend didn't have a business that would be effected but there's no reason for spam flags being created).12/14/2006 3:51 pm
I've often wondered if the management at AOL, Yahoo, etc. understands that many people use that button when they shouldn't, and if they take that into account when there are complaints.
In Yahoo mail, it's right next to the delete button, easy to press by mistake.
I think they should have an "Are you sure?" message when the button is pressed… they often do when you delete something, so why not make the person confirm they really do want to report it as spam?12/14/2006 4:56 pm
ISP management are well aware that there is a certain amount of "noise" when it comes to complaint ratios (# of complaints / # emails sent). That's entirely factored into their overall algorithms for filtering messages.
It's also factored into our systems as well. We watch complaint ratios extensively at the individual customer level as an early warning sign of something amiss. Even using opt-in only methods of getting subscribers if you're not meeting your subscribers expectations they'll complain.
Spam is in the eye of the beholder.
They may have requested information from you, but if they request weekly golf tips and you start sending them daily promotions for golf resorts around the country they are very likely going to call it spam.
Watch your subscriber expectations when it comes to:
* Content
* Frequency
Meet those expectations and you shouldn't have any problems.12/14/2006 5:06 pm | Follow me on Twitter
I send a free copy of my $39 ebook to my subscribers and it's quite upsetting to see them hit that "spam" button on the second email with the attachment, after they've double-opted in and asked for it.
I get very few unsubscribes but do get some of these false reports now and then from aol, msn, and excite addresses.
A couple questions:
1) Is it true that it will only happen once per subscriber? i.e. they are marked as non-deliverable after they hit "spam" from an aweber delivered email?
2) How else can us legit newsletter senders prevent this from happening? Put a warning about hitting the wrong buttons in that first verify-your-email we send?12/14/2006 5:27 pm
When someone marks a message from your AWeber account as spam, they are automatically unsubscribed.
If they have multiple messages from you sitting in their inbox and they decide to go through and mark them all as spam, then they could lodge multiple complaints against you. However, as Tom noted above, ISPs are well aware of the ways that spam button may be used and so one person cleaning out their inbox isn't going to cause you problems.
As for avoiding spam complaints, I think Tom said it best. A lot of whether people click that button has to do with whether or not what you're sending them is what they expect.
Warnings may seem like a good idea, but:
* they have a "me vs. you and your spam button" feel to them – not a good first step to the relationship
* is the subscriber really going to remember that warning a week/month/year after seeing it?
Since you're confirming your subscribers, you have proof that they did want to receive your messages. Combine that with what Tom said about expectations and you'll do fine.12/14/2006 5:45 pm | Follow me on Twitter
I am so glad to see this article. I know this subject has been addressed in other blog posts and articles but… I got a new view today.
Looking at this from subscriber point of view, easy to click me away when they are tired of me. Much easier than going to the email and finding the unsubsribe link…and that is if they even know what and where the unsubscribe link is for.
I was had a frantic back and forth with your support last month over this very issue and they calmed my nearves.. but still had unsettled moments when I see a complaint report. I was assured that I was doing everything correctly and the percentages were low…but still I had my doubts.
Now…looking at this from another perspective, I feel relief. It's all a matter of keeping myself in my visitors shoes, which I need to remember to do more often.
Thanks for all your help.12/15/2006 3:54 am
In reality there is only so much a legitimate list owner can, and there will always be some complaints against you.
The problem with email marketing currently exists because unlike all things truly democratic, list owners are considered guilty unless they can prove otherwise, which in all fairness is due to an evolutionary flaw in email communications and the rapid growth of spam.
That said we can spend all day venting and theorising, ultimately if you run a good clean list the best way you can, and you still receive complaints, take it on the check and move on…
At times like this I am always reminded of the term (PEBKAC – problem exists between keyboard and chair) – ultimately you can't be all things to all people – not even if they give you a digitally signed declaration of intent12/15/2006 9:38 am
What exactly constitutes too many complaints?12/15/2006 2:41 pm
Exactly what ratio of complaints vs. email sent is acceptable?
What number of complaints carries the most weight: daily, weekly, total?
what i'd liek to know, is once someone has spammed you, and you get put on a blacklist, even though they opt in, what are our rights… I have a list of 3000 names, however, everyone of my qwest, and most of my aol and yahoo email address bounce back with a 550 error message…12/16/2006 1:57 am
what can we do about it? every person on my list opted in, yet,i can;t send emails ti anyone on that server… seems backwards to me when i get 50 viagra emails a day!
I have a related question that maybe someone here can answer.
I subscribe to some lists using a Yahoo address. Sometimes a message from one of them goes in the Bulk (spam) folder by mistake. I always mark those as "not spam". That usually directs future messages from that list to my inbox.
When I do that, does it help that list owner's "reputation" with Yahoo, or does it just affect how his messages sent to me are handled?12/16/2006 12:54 pm
I have been reading about "whitelisting". Is it necessary and/or beneficial to do this?
A bit i'm thinking if they recognize that a certain number of false spam reports is normal, perhaps I don't need to be concerned about it.
When my autoresponder account was just days old, a friend of mine hit the spam button by accident after receiving my email. I was pretty freaked out as it was the first one I'd even sent.
I still get it occasionally from people and I've been wondering about it but it sounds like probably it is okay.12/16/2006 8:54 pm
Whitelisting or marking messages as "not spam" individually primarily affects mail to your own address. Since ISP's systems are all proprietary it's impossible to give a definitive answer on how that affects the list owners reputation, but logic would indicate that it likely would help.12/18/2006 10:56 am | Follow me on Twitter
i use the spam button but don't when i know i subscribed to the email.12/19/2006 11:22 pm
i recently received an unsolicited email and before i spam buttoned it i ask the sender to show me some proof that i requested their news letter. their response was to send me an abusive email in which thery were very defensive towards me…so much for me giving them a chance, they actually tried to lecture me on what consituted spam and what didn't.
insulted at not being given a thank you and being abused instead i promptly reported them.
a lesson for you all, if a customer requests info give it to them if you don't or can't you show that your guilty of spamming
This whole SPAM issue is big deal these days. People tend to be very quick at labeling something as SPAM… even if, they signed up for it. It's kind of crazy!
I've actually found that making a game out of it has helped. It's a fun way to approach and talk about the topic (which I think you should do) that isn't overbearing and/or put off your subscribers.
Of course, quality content always rules the day…12/21/2006 8:45 am
I've definitely gotten spooked by spam complaints, and the unfair spam complaints have made me gun-shy about sending out my newsletter. I always put a lot of thought into each newsletter and include the best researched content that I can relative to my customers' interests. But I cringe whenever I go to check the stats and see that here and there someone filed a spam complaint. Although the percentage is very small, it has definitely affected my approach toward my newsletter. I used to enjoy working on my newsletters and tried to put one out every month or so. A few spam complaints later, I find I am putting my newsletter out less and less frequently, and have considered not doing it at all.
The odd thing is, before I joined aweber I did a few newsletters to loyal customers and never got any complaints! Of course that wasn't the best way to grow my business or follow the anti-spam rules. This is not to knock aweber in any way – it's an excellent service. But ironic, isn't it!12/21/2006 9:31 am
Don't let a few complaints affect your newsletter plans. As long as you are following proper opt-in procedures you should have nothing to worry about.
Remember that most of the "complaints" we hear about are things like someone pressing a Spam button instead of just unsubscribing, or pressing the button accidentally (easy to do). They're not real complaints in my mind as if someone had written a letter or actively contacted someone to complain.
I'm sure you got complaints when you used another provider, but they didn't let you know about them like aweber does.12/21/2006 10:38 am
One of the things that I find does help from time to time depending on the list and the audience is to place your unsubscribe link right at the very top of your newsletter. Naturally this goes along with letting the person know when and how they arrived on your list.
Yes it does increase your unsubscribe rate, but it also reduces complaints and the tedious task of manually removing prospects who are too lazy or ignorant to scroll to the end of a message to hit the unsubscribe link.
It really comes down to the kind of list, relationship and the nature of your mailings.12/22/2006 2:28 am
Hello to All,
I recently imported almost 3,000 of my existing subscribers and received a "Complaint Report" from AWeber saying there were seven people who filed a spam complaint against me (in spite of my list being entirtely Opt-In and them having access to an unsubscribe link on every email they've ever received from me). My question is, is there any way for me to discover the email addresses of these seven people? Not to contact them again – just the opposite. I maintain other lists (paper newsletter subscribers, customers, etc.) that also include some or all of these seven people. I want to remove them from EVERY list I have.
Thanks for your help.12/23/2006 7:37 pm
When someone lodges a spam complaint against you, they are automatically unsubscribed from your list.
You can view and export a list of the people who are unsubscribed at the "Leads" tab of your account.1/2/2007 9:26 am | Follow me on Twitter
does outlook express have a spam complaint button if so where?1/3/2007 2:30 pm
I don't use Outlook Express and am not very familiar with their interface; however, Microsoft offers the following page on their site:
Which discusses setting up mail filtering in Outlook Express.
Based on what they say there, it looks like those users have to manually create rules to filter mail, and no mention is made of any Spam button.1/4/2007 9:48 am | Follow me on Twitter
I don't see how Outlook or Outlook Express (or any other email program that installs on your PC) could have a spam button, because what would it do? Who would it report spam to? All it can really do is filter or delete your mail based on rules you set up.
All of the places like AOL, Yahoo, etc. I know of that have spam buttons are email service providers, not just email programs.1/4/2007 10:48 am
I think one point not addressed here is lists "going stale". If you don't connect with people very frequently (but not too frequently), then they forget about u and that increases the complaints.
I very much liked the idea of putting 'unsubscribe' at the top.1/6/2007 12:50 pm
Just had my first spam complaint and I'm rather surprised that someone would cry SPAM, on the FIRST message sent to them, following them verifying their request for information. They requested a brochure, verified that they wanted the brochure, then complained when they were sent it – some people hey. At least, it's my first spam complaint.. though I do hope it's not the start of lots more.
Not sure what I can do to avoid them reporting the brochure as spam, especially as they double-opted-in to request it. Could it be something to do with it being an attachment?1/10/2007 1:48 pm
I'm with Steve. I don't send to my list that often and I know people forget about me in between. I would love to place 'unsubscribe' at the top, as well.1/16/2007 7:13 am
Just about every autoresponder I've ever seen puts the unsubscribe link or removal instructions at the bottom of the message, so people should know to look there.
I don't see a need to put it in more than one place in a message.1/17/2007 4:31 pm
You can place a unsubscribe link anywhere within a message sent out via the Aweber system.
The code for a Remove link can be found in Help | Personalize Messages
when you are logged in to your account.
Not sure Tom and the Aweber crew want the code to be public or not, so thought it best to tell you how to find it, once logged in to your Aweber account.
Hope that helps.1/18/2007 2:01 pm
I get some people subscribing from free email domains and also domains like "temporaryinbox".
It seems that most of the "spam" complaints are coming from free domains, so I'd like to not allow subscribes from those. I'd also like to not give out my $39 ebook to people who are clearly not interested in exchanging a legit email address for my newsletter.
At least I'd like to test this.
Is there a way to not allow people to subscribe if their email comes from certain domains? Does Aweber have a "ban" or "filter out" list feature?
Thanks2/9/2007 12:26 pm
Yes you can block specific domains from adding to your list:
It's worth noting, however, that as you are using Confirmed Opt-In, you have proof that subscribers are indeed requesting your information.2/9/2007 1:25 pm | Follow me on Twitter
There are a few things I recommend to keep the amount of spam complaints you receive down to a bare minimum. You must realize though there are always going to be those people who are just out to make your life difficult – don't stress about them!
Here are some of my tips -
1. Talk to your list one-on-one:
From the very first email you send you should always introduce yourself as an actual person and continue to build on this relationship over the following emails. Would you rather receive an email every few days from CompanyABC or from an actual individual with a real name? Which would you be more likely to report as spam?
You'll notice that Awebers emails all come from Tom – the CEO. They could easily come from just AWEBER but which do you think is more effective? Which are you able to connect with on a more personal level?
When emails come on behalf of a company, even though they are not always trying to push a product to that user, it will always seem that way to them. Be personal, it makes it look less like you are selling and more like you are just a friend helping them out.
2. Be Consistent:
The format you use for the very first email to your list should be the same for every other email you ever send them. The greeting you use, the length of the lines, the layout, the salutation you use at the end – everything should be consistent. This helps customers more easily distinguish your emails from spam.
3. 80/20 rule:
As with everything in life, the 80/20 rule applies here. Too many people get excited by the thought of having a list and rush out trying to sell them every product under the sun. You need to build a relationship with the user before you start asking him for things.
You should always try to keep the balance of 80% information, 20% selling when writing your email series. This will make a big difference to your end results. Not only will you gain trust, integrity and credibility from your list, but when you do occasionally send them details about a new product they should try, they are going to be far more responsive to your recommendations.
Remember, most people subscribe to your list in order to get some kind of information they want or need – they certainly don't sign up to receive sales pitch after sales pitch. Keep this in mind when writing your emails.
4. Subject – Important:
As we know, the first thing people see from your email is the subject line. If they are going to flag your email as spam, more than likely they are going to do this without even opening the email at all. They will make up their mind based on the subject line alone. With this in mind, there are a few methods I recommend for the subject lines:
a) Using the persons name in the subject line. If they see their name in the subject line they will be far more likely to open that email. "Bob, your free report as promised…" as opposed to "Your free report as promised….". Which email would Bob be more likely to open?
b) Don't use any sort of sales jargon in your subject line. Nothing like, "Hey Bob, check out this product…" or "Bob, get 50% off today.." etc. People don't like being sold to. Instead give them a little teaser to get them to open the email. Even once in your email, you shouldn't start selling to them right away. Remember, 80% information, 20% max sales pitch.
c) Use a list name in the subject line. Imagine if you signed up for my free report/newsletter called 'Golf Mania' and every subsequent email you received from me had that name at the start of the subject line. ie/ "[Golf Mania] Bob, is your golf swing…"
That way, in your inbox, you will instantly recognize my emails as ones you can trust and hopefully can't wait to open.
5. Don't send attachments!:
With so many idiots on the internet today, the average consumer has a hard time trusting anyone online. We always hear stories about these viruses that spread via email in the form of attachments. Remember: on first contact, your users don't know you from a bar of soap. How many do you think are going to trust an email attachment coming from someone they don't know? Sure your company may look legit, but if they have any doubt in their mind whatsoever then they will send your email straight to their deleted items or spam folder.
If you offer your users a free report, as easy as it may be to send it to them as an attachment (I know Aweber offers this function) I would strongly recommend against it. Instead send them to a page on your site where they can download the report. Sure it is a bit more work and will eat into more of your bandwidth, but the results will be worth it.
Anyhoot, these are just a few things I thought were worth a mention.4/17/2007 5:56 am
Reading this is encouraging. I've never had spam complaints until this week. With any luck they'll calm down for next week.6/19/2009 6:36 am
Thanks everyone the advice is much appreciated!3/29/2010 11:22 pm
Im having a major issue with my email list. I built it up in joomla and now aweber cant use them because they were on my server.
Just a tip, if you are not using aweber, you better use a 3rd party email provider to make sure it doesn't happen to you.
Best thing to do is just start with aweber and continue using it. It Rocks!9/10/2010 3:50 pm
Having clicked the 'spam' button on an email "I requested" only today, I thought I'd share the reason.
A few weeks ago, I bought a product from very.co.uk. The site forced me to register and set up a password to buy – which I hate in any case. It was a one-off purchase, so of course I promptly forgot the user name and password.
Although I'm pretty sure I'd have ticked any 'no emails' box offered, I started getting nag mail to review the product (No. I'm not here to do your marketing!), and other product news.
Having deleted a couple, I dug deeper and found the Unsubscribe link at the bottom of the email. Did it unsubscribe me? Nope. It dumped me at a login page, where I'd need to remember my user name and password (remember I mentioned them?) in order to change my mail preferences. Brick wall.
I closed that page, and dropped an email to the very.co.uk support team, asking them to remove me from their database, and also mentioning it is bad practice to put obstacles in the way of people who want to subscribe.
So today, when I got another junk email from them – spam button.
The moral – make it easy for people to get off your list!7/4/2011 5:02 pm
Thank you for this thread. I'm still fairly new at working online and when saw a "complaint" I was worried. Now I can relax. Even though ISP's take into account how people may use the "spam" button to unsubscribe, it wouldn't hurt if they educated their customers a little better and didn't display the spam button so prominently in their email programs. Thanks again every body =)7/28/2011 6:57 am
Unless I missed it, nobody from the Aweber team addressed the question about what is an acceptable SPAM complaint rate with your company. Also, are there any stats or knowledge whether most SPAM complaints are lodged prior to the message actually being opened. Meaning, should we place the MOST weight on the FROM & SUBJECT line?8/3/2011 7:34 pm
Like Allen mentioned above, it would be nice if aWeber told it's paying customers what an acceptable SPAM complaint rate is. Why is this such a secret? I sent out a message to my list(s) and had a complaint rate of 1. I don't know, is this excessive? I of course don't want any spam complaints, but it happens.
How about letting us know aWeber with actual numbers vs the generic information you provide on this topic.6/3/2012 2:28 pm
Helpful answer, especially with the screenshots showing how "helpful" aol, yahoo etc are in this matter. I checked on a complaint I received today and yes, it was from a yahoo address.
The one-click complaint also explains to me why a "complaint" might be more a matter of mental laziness, forgetfulness, or "fat finger" hitting the wrong button. And why there is no explanatory test with the complaint.
I must say though, you big yellow compaint sign is not a pretty sight to behold.7/22/2013 5:55 am

All the talk about additional gun control appeared to be driving increased gun sales, though. The Colorado Bureau of Investigation said it received a record 4,154 requests for background checks on Saturday, the day after the shooting.
That was slightly more than on its normal biggest day, Black Friday.
|Join the Discussion
|Post a Comment
Bob Irwin, CEO of The Gun Store in Las Vegas, said customer traffic has jumped since the school shooting, with many customers concerned that more gun laws will be enacted. He has not pulled any guns from the shelf.
"My belief is the individual nutcase did this," he said. "The company that manufactured the gun didn't. That seems silly to deprive my normal customers of product because somebody misused a product from the same company."
Irwin agreed that the Connecticut attack demanded some kind of action. He suggested adding more security officers at schools.
Shares in publicly traded gun makers declined for a third-straight day.
Shares of Sturm, Ruger & Co. dropped 7.7 percent to close at $40.60. They have fallen almost 11 percent since Thursday, the day before the shooting. Shares of Smith & Wesson Holding Corp. fell 10 percent to $7.79 — down almost 15 percent from their Thursday close.
Outdoor goods retailer Cabela's Inc. fell almost 6 percent to close at $38.77.

Source: National Milk Producers Federation
The National Milk Producers Federation (NMPF) has released a newly-revised animal care reference manual, containing the guidelines that comprise the core of the National Dairy FARM (Farmers Assuring Responsible Management) Program.
"This new manual reflects the continuous improvement process that is a hallmark of the FARM program," said Jim Mulhern, Chief Operating Officer of NMPF. "It contains important revisions from the first manual, and it reflects both evolving management practices on the farm, as well as expectations for animal care from the entire dairy value chain."
The FARM Program was created four years ago to establish a national, voluntary dairy animal care program to bring consistency and uniformity to the practices used on America's dairy farms. The original reference manual was used to guide animal care practices on farms that have enrolled in the program since 2009; this new manual will now be provided to those both currently enrolled, and those who will become part of the program going forward.
A variety of industry stakeholders provided input into the revision process, Mulhern said, and the end result includes findings from the third-party verification process that began in 2011. Among the improvements in the new manual is the overall checklist used to evaluate farms has been streamlined from 77 questions to 48, "simplifying the process for farmers, and more effectively capturing the pertinent information that animal care experts believe is relevant to proper dairy animal care," Mulhern said.
In addition to the streamlined on-farm evaluation process, key areas of change in the areas of medical procedures, animal observations and housing include:
Medical Procedures:
• A guideline on horn disbudding was added: Calves are disbudded at eight weeks of age or earlier and with appropriate use of analgesics and/or anesthetics.
• Language was added to identify some best practices for disbudding, castration and extra teat removal.
• Information is provided on proper branding techniques, as some states require this for animal ID.
• Language was added encouraging the elimination of routine tail docking by 2022.
Animal Observations:
• The hygiene guideline remains the same based on data collected by the FARM program. The locomotion guideline was changed to only score milking and dry cows. Two other guidelines were added to document practices in place to improve lameness.
• The body condition score guideline was reduced to 1 percent of all animals in all pens from 10 percent because the FARM data showed that almost 98 percent of the farms in the program met this guideline. A second guideline was added to document practices are in place to improve an animal with poor condition.
• The hock and knee lesion guideline was changed to score only the milking and dry cows. All experts agreed and the FARM data showed that this is the most high risk group on the farm for this type of injury.

As the fifth Solstice Class ship delivered in five years, Celebrity Reflection tests the boundaries of ship-building technology with an array of firsts including a sea-view bathroom extending over the side of the ship and a veranda tub with rain shower in the brand's first-ever two bedroom 'Reflection Suite'.
Located on Deck 14, the 'Reflection Suite' accommodates up to six guests and is positioned in a private area of the ship along with five 441-square-foot 'Signature Suites' that accommodate up to four guests and include 24/7 butler service.
