Elegant ship, nice crew, food was hit-or-miss: Celebrity Solstice Cruise Review by 4DogCampers
Overall Member Rating
Elegant ship, nice crew, food was hit-or-miss
Destination: Alaska
Embarkation: Seattle
We booked the Westin Hotel in Seattle for the night before the cruise - we booked through the cruise line in order to get the transfer to the pier. The hotel was okay - clean but with an odd setup and no refrigerator to use. I would not have wanted to spend more than one night there.
The transfer from hotel to pier from the Westin hotel was disorganized and chaotic. The staff from Celebrity seemed to be lost in space and the hotel did not provide a meeting area so people were milling about in the lobby and meeting rooms on the floor below. We found the bus on our own and boarded - and finally the Celebrity staff came on board and found all of us that they were missing - it just took them forever.
We More traveled on Celebrity Solstice - 19/July 2013 sailing. The crew were quick to say they were fully booked with 3,060 passengers. The ship is laid out fairly well and only rarely were there crowds to navigate. The ship is very beautiful. The Soltice Theater is poorly laid out with very long rows of seats that leave passengers climbing over one another a good portion of the time. The Sky Lounge has a beautiful view but the seating is uncomfortable so when you want to watch for whales on a cruise like this you can't sit there very long.
Our stateroom was small, clean and fairly well thought out. Our attendant, like another reviewer was Wilfred. He was fantastic. I asked for ice on the first day and he made sure the ice bucket never went empty.
The only complaints we had were about the bed - the bed is an odd shape and they seemed to have trouble finding sheets/blankets that fit it. The flat sheet was not tucked in and only ran 3/4 of the way down the bed so it would slide up at night and wind up wrapped around my neck and shoulders. My husband is tall and his feet hung way off the bottom of the bed as well.
While tiny, the bathroom was set up well - and love that shower! I've been on other cruises where the bathroom was hard to use for a large person - this one was really laid out well and seemed almost spacious!
The naturalist on board, Brent Nixon was alot of fun to watch. He is very animated and knowledgeable. He was a great stage performer but tended to lose his less enthusiastic audience members who thought he put too much info in his talks. My husband would glaze over after about 30min - but I enjoyed the talks.
The Hot Glass show by the Corning Museum of Glass was great. We saw at least a portion of almost every show they gave. The glass blowers on our cruise were fantastic artisans, knowledgeable about their craft and very nice as well. The venue there on the lawn is beautifully set up and it was nice of the cruise line to provide blankets to viewers of the show because it sometimes got very cold up there.
The Sin City Comedy show was fun. It is an adult comedy show and the cruise line states that you must be over 18 to attend - but the 11:15pm show we went to had many teens under 18 in attendance.
The dining on board was hit-or-miss. Make reservations for the specialty restaurants well in advance - we didn't and could not get into any of them. The main dining room was lovely and the staff were very nice. Although a waiter did accidentally drop a plate of escargot on my husband's back - the service otherwise was excellent. We enjoyed the food for the most part, too.
The Oceanview Cafe was rough. It is not laid out very well and passengers are forever running into one another. The bus staff are good but the staff working behind the stations aren't very helpful for the most part. Many of the dishes taste like no one from the staff ever tasted them while cooking - they are overly salty or sweet in most cases. There were some good dishes - but it really seemed to be the exception and not the rule. The Mast Grill was terrible - the guy working the grill seemed like he did not want to be there - and he treated every person that walked up as if we were taking him away from something important. Food was overdone or looked like it had been prepared days before!
The Gelataria was very nice - the ship-made gelato was very good. The coffee/tea specialty place was also very good!
The ship has a youth center on board - which is great for younger children. There were many family groups on board though with pre-teens and teens who were left running unsupervised much of the time. It seems many parents can't be bothered spending time with their own children. These unsupervised teens were found running in groups - mostly in the forward stairs/elevators and on the upper decks around the pool and the basketball courts. They were loud and oblivious to some of the seniors and physically challenged passengers so would sometimes create problems as they ran by other people. Many people we met said they would not travel on Celebrity again because of this.
The crew was almost always of sunny disposition - with polite and friendly conversation. The staff working at the grills in the Oceanview Cafe were the only regular exception - they were usually oblivious to the passengers and a bit surly if you asked them for anything.
We booked many excursions and stayed very busy in most ports. Thanks to other reviews here on CruiseCritic we made sure to book the Tracy Arm Glacier excursion. When we reached Tracy Arm the captain chose not to go into Tracy Arm because of the large amounts of ice in the mouth of the fjord which presented a hazard to the ship. He instead took us into Endicott Arm to see the Dawes glacier. This was the inaugural trip for the Solstice into Endicott Arm so there were lots of ship staff on deck photographing and shooting video. Since we had booked the shore excursion we were in the group that exited the ship in front of the glacier getting on a catamaran that stayed near the glacier for an extended time (they can stay there for up to 30min) and then took us sightseeing along different stretches of beach to see if we could find bears, eagles, etc. The Solstice dropped us off and then quickly turned around and left to travel up to Juneau. The catamaran we were sightseeing on met up at just about 1pm where we boarded the ship - and right away got in line to exit again to the pier on the other side of the ship. While we did not get to see bear - we did see harbor seals, arctic tern, bald eagle, ice bergs, waterfalls, etc. It was lovely - and well worth the money and time - EXCELLENT!
The other shore excursions were also lovely. We did the Mystic Fjords in Ketchikan, Mendenhall Glacier (the naturalist had told us that a bear with cubs was feeding in the stream near the glacier) where we saw spawning salmon and just missed the bear, the dog sled summer camp, the train/bus tour in Skagway and Craigdarroch castle in Victoria. All of the excursions were well thought out and we had lovely weather so there was lots to see.
The disembarkation process was simple and moved quickly. The loading of buses for transport to the airport outside the terminal was a bit taxing - very long lines and very slow moving.
I would recommend Celebrity Solstice to friends and family - I would just warn people about what they are getting into.
Don't buy the drink package - once the waiters know they will not get any tips from you they never come back to offer you another drink - EVER! It would be very difficult to utilize the drink package enough to make it worth the money.
Choose to eat in the main dining room - the food is much better there than the Oceanview! Less

Cabin review: 117150 Inside Stateroom
Quiet room - away from all of the nightclubs and public areas. Small but with adequate storage.The bed extends off a side wall of the stateroom - leaving only about 8" of space on the far side of the bed to move. If there are two people the smaller person should sleep on the far side of the bed closest to the wall.Bathroom was laid out well - lots of storage.Read All Inside Stateroom (11) Reviews >>

Obasanjo defends Zimbabwe decision
Nigerian President Olusegun Obasanjo has said the Commonwealth decided to suspend Zimbabwe for a year because there had not been "adequate provisions" in the country's presidential elections to allow everyone to express their will.
In a BBC interview, Mr Obasanjo explained the decision he made on Tuesday with two other Commonwealth leaders.
Mr Obasanjo added that the answer to Zimbabwe's problems was not more elections but reconciliation and the emergence of a coalition government.
He said that Mr Mugabe and his main challenger, Morgan Tsvangirai, had both agreed that their parties would hold talks.
But Mr Obasanjo said that Mr Mugabe had not reacted well to the Commonwealth decision.
"He took it badly as one would expect, but I believe he will understand," he said, adding that he did not think his long-standing personal relationship with Mr Mugabe would suffer as a result.
Reconciliation not elections
Mr Obasanjo said it was up to the Commonwealth to take its decision on the basis of the report made by its own observers in the Zimbabwe elections, which in this case was highly critical.
Asked what action should now be taken in Zimbabwe, Mr Obasanjo said the first thing that was required was reconciliation.
"Whether you run two elections or three elections is not the issue," he said.
"The problem of Zimbabwe is reconciliation, the revival of the economy and dealing with ... the shortage of food.
"We are convinced that the division that now exists in Zimbabwe cannot resolve those essential issues."
He said that from reconciliation "some form of coalition government" would emerge, followed by another election in the "short to medium term".
But he would not say whether he thought this would happen within Zimbabwe's year of suspension.

Medical marijuana festival to feature on-site dispensing -- and Corey Feldman?
The Colorado Medical Marijuana Festival, taking place on Sunday, May 30, at Longmont's Radisson Hotel (click here for details), has several unusual attributes.
For one thing, says event organizer Sean Bookman, the get-together will feature an on-site "medicinal garden" at which five Longmont-area dispensaries will be able to serve MMJ patients with proper identification and documentation.
And there'll also be a handful of special guest stars, including, of all people, '80s icon turned musician Corey Feldman. "He's doing a big concert in Fort Collins that evening," Bookman says. "So he'll be dropping by about 4:20."
Bookman, who runs his own production company, moved to Colorado about five months ago from the East Coast -- one of many entrepreneurs attracted to the state by the booming MMJ industry. "I saw what was happening out here, and I thought I could contribute to it in a positive way," he says.

He adds that he's a medical marijuana patient: "This is something I'm passionate about. I know the value of it because of what it's done for me and my family and friends, and I'm really excited for the community to come together."
In addition to Feldman, the event will feature members of the Kottonmouth Kings, who'll take part in a CD signing and may play a song or two, as well as local acts with a connection to the local cannabis scene, including THC and Qballa. There'll be speakers, too -- among them attorney Rob Corry and Dana K. May, who helped put Corry on the MMJ map. According to this 2004 release, Corry represented May in a lawsuit against the Drug Enforcement Administration that ultimately saw the DEA give back gear it had snatched -- an outcome described as "the first time in history that the federal government has returned marijuana growing equipment it had previously seized."
As a bonus, Bookman says, May is "an amazing man -- he used to be a drummer with Joe Cocker and did sessions with Pink Floyd -- and a dynamic speaker."
Although the commercial aspects of medical marijuana will be on display at the fest, Bookman stresses that the event is about more than making money, as indicated by its modest $5 cover price.
"This is an herb that's been written about in ancient medical books in Egypt and China and mentioned in the Bible," he allows. "Human beings have been gifted by the creator to take care of themselves, and this herb empowers them to do that -- to take care of their health, their mind, their body, their spirit, their emotional levels.
"Anyone with a family working in this day and age knows that stress is the number one killer and the reason for so many diseases. And this is a sacrament, a healing medical herb. I know people use it recreationally, but this isn't about that. It's about coming together in a sacred way as a community to celebrate this gift."
Speaking of sacred, Bookman says, "This hasn't been confirmed yet, but someone told me Coolio might be coming by."
Sounds like a gangsta's paradise.

Profanes et Sacrées: 20th-century French chamber music
Elizabeth Rowe
- Flute (BSO principal)
Boston Symphony Orchestra principal flutist Elizabeth Rowe joined the BSO in 2004 and holds the Walter Piston Principal Flute Chair. Rowe joined the NEC faculty a year later.
Prior to joining the BSO, Rowe held titled positions with the orchestras of Fort Wayne, Baltimore, and Washington, D.C., and was a member of the New World Symphony in Miami Beach, Florida.
Regularly featured in front of the orchestra, Rowe's numerous solo appearances with the BSO include the American premiere performances of Elliott Carter's Flute Concerto; the Ligeti Concerto for Flute and Oboe; Gabriela Lena Frank's Illapa, Tone Poem for Flute and Orchestra; and Mozart's Flute and Harp Concerto, K.299 as well as the G major flute concerto, K.313. She has also joined violinist Pinchas Zuckerman and her BSO colleagues in performances of Bach's Brandenburg Concerti Nos. 2 and 5. In 2011 she was a featured soloist in the orchestra's West Coast tour, with a reprise performance of the Carter Flute Concerto.
A member of the Boston Symphony Chamber Players, Rowe can be heard in a wide variety of chamber works throughout the season at NEC's Jordan Hall and in several recordings, including the recently released Grammy-nominated 20th-century French album, Profanes et Sacrées.
Noted for her insightful teaching, Rowe attracts flute students from around the country to her lessons and masterclasses. She currently serves on the faculties of New England Conservatory and the Tanglewood Music Center, and is a regular guest artist at the National Orchestral Institute of Music and the New World Symphony. She has previously taught at both the Peabody Conservatory of Music and the University of Maryland.
Elizabeth Rowe grew up in Eugene, Oregon. She received her Bachelor of Music degree from the University of Southern California, where she was a Trustee Scholar and a student of Jim Walker, former principal flute of the Los Angeles Philharmonic. Rowe's connection to the Boston Symphony dates back to the summer of 1996, when she was a Tanglewood Music Center Fellow and performed as principal flute under the direction of Seiji Ozawa in the TMC's 50th-anniversary production of Benjamin Britten's opera Peter Grimes.

Trademark Traits
- Gentle

- Family oriented
- Long-lived
- Quiet
What They Are Like to Live With
American Shorthairs do not required extensive grooming. Brushing once weekly is usually enough to maintain their low-maintenance coats.
Things You Should Know
American Shorthairs enjoy their human families, but can also be independent and are okay when left alone.
American Shorthairs tend to live a long time, so be prepared to give a home to one of these cats for 20 years.
The American Shorthair is not the same as the Domestic Shorthair—the two names are sometimes confused.
American Shorthair History
The American Shorthair goes all the way back to the Mayflower. English colonists brought cats with them from England to help keep rats and mice on the ship under control. When the settlers arrived on New England shores, the cats joined them in their new home.
In the early 1900s, cats were imported to the U.S. from different countries and mixed with the first American cats. In an effort to save the original American cat, a group of fanciers chose a handful of cats showing the characteristics of the "native" cat and began breeding them selectively.
In 1906, the Cat Fanciers Association (CFA) recognized the American Shorthair, which was called the Domestic Shorthair at the time. In 1966, named was changed to American Shorthair, and denotes a pure breed rather than a mixed breed cat.
The Look of a American Shorthair
American Shorthairs are known for their gentle expressions. They come in more than eighty different colors and patterns, including calico, tabby and all white.
Male American Shorthairs can weigh up to 15 pounds, while females can get up to 12 pounds at maturity. They are known for having long life spans, and can live to be 20 years old with good care.
Talk About American Shorthairs
You won't find a more affectionate kitty
I am in love with a tortoiseshell American Shorthair named Zoey. She arrived at our local shelter alone in a shoebox at the age of four weeks. We fostered her and then made her a member of our family. She nuzzles us and gives nose kisses. You will never find a more affectionate little kitty. Her coat is a beautiful orange and black with touches of white and red tabby. It is thick and lush and I love her chubby cheeks and big round golden eyes. I think everyone should have the pleasure of living with an American Shorthair.
~Susan, owner of an American Shorthair
A laid back breed
My favorite breed is the American Shorthair. The American is a laid back breed that takes life as it comes. Not a lap-sitter, but wanting to be near and/or touching you, they are a wonderful cat for households with kids, other cats and even dogs. They can be trained fairly easily especially if food is used as an incentive. They do love their food and will show it without some exercise. They are wonderful family cats who will love all unconditionally and be a companion for life.
~Nancy N., owner of an American Shorthair
A picky little carnivore who can tell time
Nimbus Cloud is a blue and white tabby. She's sweet and extremely affectionate. She's supersmart and gets a.pained expression on her face when I say, "Goodbye." She also hates being called cute but likes adorable. She understands hot, hurts, fire, Saturday and Wednesday. She is a very picky obligated carnivore and will only eat homemade food. She was born outside and has a Monroe.
She has never clawed something she wasn't supposed to. She has never ever missed the litter box and she goes outside in cedar chips now. She doesn't need an indoor litter box at all unless it's below freezing. She keeps herself clean of fleas. She was energetic and playful for two years but has finally calmed down. She knows somehow that when the big hand is up and the little one is down I am coming home from work. The other way around she makes a sad face because I am leaving.
This cat helped me through post-traumatic stress and is ever so loyal. I definitely was lucky to get a free, insanely intelligent, gentle, loving kitty. Anyone could handle having her around, even cat haters.
~Kim, owner of an American Shorthair
My big superloyal boy
My Orion, named for his brown "belts" on his tan fur, is supercrazy, superlovable, and superloyal. We got him to cheer up our older other cat, Felix, named after the cartoon character. It worked, plus Orion can be seen grooming Felix at times.
Beware, though: Keep regular checkups, get them neutered, and get good advice on what works with eating. You'll know what doesn't work -- because they barf.
~Serena S, owner of an American Shorthair

In The Plague, how does religion affect the mind and decisions of the town?
- print Print
- list Cite
1 Answer
The theme of religion is a very important one in this excellent classic novel, and in particular Camus analyses the human tendency to turn to religion in times of hardship or disaster. The main character that he uses in order to examine this belief is Father Paneloux, the Jesuit priest, who distinguishes himself early on after the emergence of the plague by preaching a sermon claiming, in stark opposition to the novel's other major characters, that the plague is a purposeful representation of God's punishment on them that will be used to test God's faithful. God's act in sending the plague is stressed as being only a last resort. Note how he describes this process:
He looked on the evil-doing in the town with compassion; only when there was no other remedy did He turn His face away, in order to force people to face the truth about their life.
God is all-loving and is using this plague for his ultimate good, Paneloux argues, and however dark the situation, there is still hope, as God is using this to draw us to him. Paneloux's success in terms of the number of people who are drawn to church and who embrace religion in this time of need shows how compelling his arguments are for a people who are in fear of their lives. Religion in the novel is therefore something that is shown to give us answers and a system of interpreting what we see and hear in times of need and disaster.

Davis CO (SPX) Sep 01, 2011
For the first time, researchers at the University of California, Davis, have demonstrated that forest trees have the ability to tap into nitrogen found in rocks, boosting the trees' growth and their ability to pull more carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.
Given that carbon dioxide is the most important climate-change gas, the nitrogen in rocks could significantly affect how rapidly the earth will warm in the future, the researchers say. They report their findings in the Sept. 1 issue of the scientific journal Nature.
If trees can access more nitrogen than previously thought, that could lead to more storage of carbon on land and less carbon remaining in the atmosphere.
"We were really shocked; everything we've ever thought about the nitrogen cycle and all of the textbook theories have been turned on their heads by these data," said Professor Benjamin Houlton, a biogeochemist and one of the study's co-authors.
"Findings from this study suggest that our climate-change models should not only consider the importance of nitrogen from the atmosphere, but now we also have to start thinking about how rocks may affect climate change," he said.
The importance of nitrogen:
It was previously believed that nitrogen could only enter ecosystems from the atmosphere - either dissolved in rainwater or biologically "fixed" or assimilated by specialized groups of plants and other organisms. Because the amount of nitrogen in these atmospheric pathways is rather limited, it was thought that most ecosystems could not get enough of this vital nutrient to facilitate plant growth at maximum rates.
Following this line of thought, it was estimated that the nitrogen contribution from rocks in Northern California was on the same order as atmospheric nitrogen sources, made available through fixation and deposited via rainwater.
"To put it in perspective, there is enough nitrogen contained in one inch of the rocks at our study site to completely support the growth of a typical coniferous forest for about 25 years," said Professor Randy Dahlgren, a biogeochemist and a study co-author.
"This nitrogen is released slowly over time and helps to maintain the long-term fertility of many California forests," Dahlgren said. "It is also interesting to consider that the nitrogen in the rocks from our study site originates from the time of the dinosaurs, when plant and animal remains were incorporated into the sediments that eventually formed the rocks."
The UC Davis findings:
Data from the study indicate that the amount of carbon stored in forest soils derived from the nitrogen-rich bedrock was nearly twice that of sites associated with nitrogen-poor rocks in Northern California. Furthermore, the researchers used the inventory of forest growth data from the National Forest Service to determine that this was not just a localized effect. In fact, the productivity of forests growing on nitrogen-rich rock was approximately 50 percent higher than the productivity of forests growing on nitrogen-poor rocks throughout Northern California and into Oregon.
"We were all stunned when the data showed that the nitrogen in the trees was extremely high in forests that were living on the rocks with high nitrogen," said Morford.
To confirm the link between the nitrogen in the trees and that in the surrounding rock, the researchers traced the nitrogen from the rocks using the different isotopes of nitrogen. They found that the nitrogen isotopes in the rock matched those of the soils and trees, confirming that the nitrogen was coming from the rocks.
"It was like a fingerprint; we found the culprit, and it was the nitrogen in the rocks," Morford said.
Implications for climate change:
"The stunning finding that forests can also feed on nitrogen in rocks has the potential to change all projections related to climate change," said Houlton.
"This discovery may also help explain several other studies that have found that the nitrogen 'budgets' of forests are out of balance, the nitrogen accumulation in their soil and plants being substantially greater than the apparent nitrogen inputs."
Houlton noted that nitrogen is becoming increasingly important in climate-change studies and researchers have begun to incorporate nitrogen in their climate-change models.
Some models indicate that the nutrient could cause an additional increase in global temperatures of up to one degree Celsius (1.8 degrees Fahrenheit) by 2010, as it limits the amount of carbon dioxide that plants around the world can extract from the atmosphere.
If more nitrogen is available than predicted from the traditional nitrogen-cycling pathways, as the UC Davis study suggests, it could lead to more carbon storage on land and less carbon remaining in the atmosphere.
The researchers call for further studies in other parts of the world to determine if nitrogen in rocks affects forests outside of the Pacific Northwest.
Morford is continuing his research and during the past year has collected more than 800 rocks from Oregon to San Diego. A goal of this future research is to determine how fast nitrogen is released from rocks under the varying environmental conditions in California and beyond.
This study was funded by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, the Packard Foundation, and the Kearney Foundation for Soil Science.

Climate cycles are driving wars
New York NY (SPX) Aug 30, 2011
In the first study of its kind, researchers have linked a natural global climate cycle to periodic increases in warfare. The arrival of El Nino, which every three to seven years boosts temperatures and cuts rainfall, doubles the risk of civil wars across 90 affected tropical countries, and may help account for a fifth of worldwide conflicts during the past half-century, say the authors.

Teague Jr. High Teacher Suspended After Arrest
3/20/2013 by
A 38-year old math teacher at Teague Junior High School, Dawn Sheree McCoy, was arrested on her lunch break March 7th for possession of drugs and has been suspended without pay by the Teague ISD until the investigation is completed by the Freestone County Sheriff?s Department.
McCoy was arrested on charges of possession of a controlled substance, methamphetamine, under one gram, a felony, and possession of a controlled substance under 28 grams, a Class A misdemeanor after being pulled over on a traffic stop by Freestone County Deputy Robert Willis. Records indicate McCoy gave Willis permission to search her vehicle, leading to the discovery of the drugs.
TISD Superintendent Ned Burns reports that as an employee of the school district, McCoy has the right to appeal her suspension. He added that by changing a few schedules, a certified math teacher has taken over all of McCoy?s 6th grade math classes. McCoy began employment with the TISD at the beginning of this school year.
Accompanying Deputy Willis on the arrest were Deputies Clayton Aldrich and Jeremy Shipley; along with Precinct 3 Constable Diana Willis.
McCoy was released from jail the same day after posting bonds of $20,000 and $5,000.

Postcard show at A-K Heritage Museum popular draw for collectors
You could say Charles "Skip" Culleiton wrote the book on postcards.
The author of "Greetings from the A-K Valley" spent 10 years visiting antiques shops, postcard shows, libraries and museums to collect images of postcards from everywhere from Arnold to Winfield.
"It was a very enjoyable experience, as I met many very friendly and helpful individuals who never said 'no' when I asked if I could photograph their cards," he said. "As I was finishing the project, I thought it would be something special to have a show here in the A-K Valley."
He teamed with postcard dealer Mike Krafick to host a postcard show at Allegheny-Kiski Valley Historical Society's Heritage Museum. Ten years later, it's still going strong.
This year's postcard show will take place at the Tarentum museum from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. June 29. The price of admission is $2. The museum will also be open for tours at that time.
Culleiton will be on hand to sign his book, which is sold at the museum. The exhaustive text tells the history of 29 local communities through images of and commentary on more than 600 postcards.
Dealers at the show will each have an inventory of several thousand cards, according to Culleiton. With such a vast selection, there should be something for everybody.
"Many individuals who attend our show collect cards from one or more local communities," he says. "Some cards provide the only photo that exists today of an old store, school, church or community event."
"Some collectors are more interested in postcards of Santa Claus, Halloween, Easter or other special occasions. Some are looking for transportation (such as) trains, buses, trolleys or old autos, military cards or hold-to-light cards."
The hold-to-light cards happen to be a favorite of Heritage Museum curator Jamie Stoner. When held up to the light, the scene on the card changes or, if there are windows, they become illuminated.
The historical origins of postcards make the show a natural fit for the Tarentum museum. According to Stoner, postcards became popular as a form of parlor entertainment in the Victorian era.
"It was a way to show off where you traveled and where your friends traveled," she says. "They captured history. Some are photographs, others, drawings; most of them are like small versions of artwork."
While the show attracts many collectors, there are reasons it should be a draw for newcomers, as well, such as those looking for unique and affordable gifts.
"I like to use them as one-of-a-kind presents," Stoner says. "Some of the more-collectible ones can go for a lot of money; however, many of them are less than $5. Finding a subject or area that is important to a friend or family member, then putting it in a frame is a great gift."
Local history cards seem to be the most popular at the annual show; although, tokens from world travels are, too.
Some like to collect postcards from a certain time period, even to a particular year.
"I know one collector whose parents came to American in 1906, and they traveled from New York to Pittsburgh," Stoner says. "She collects postcards from that time period to see what her parents would have seen on their journey. This is a great idea that can be passed down to her children so their journey can never be forgotten."
For those looking for the perfect postcard, it's likely you'll have to look no farther than the tables of local and out-of-state vendors in Tarentum on Saturday.
According to Dolly Mistrik, president of the Allegheny-Kiski Valley Historical Society, someone at the show — which she describes as "amazing" — will have what you need.
She recalls attending the show her first year as president. Nearly every vendor could pull out a postcard with just what she was looking for, and if they couldn't, they could point her in the direction of someone else at the show who did.
"I have never seen so many postcards in one place at one time," she says. "From that first show, I look forward to it each year."

Steelers' results mixed versus Manning
Maybe he lacks the game-polished rapport with Demaryius Thomas and Eric Decker he long had with Marvin Harrison and Reggie Wayne. Maybe he will be rusty after not playing for 20 months, or not feel as comfortable in orange and dark blue as he did all those years in light blue and white.
Maybe he won't be the Peyton Manning the Steelers remember from four years ago, when he beat them on their home field three months before they won the Super Bowl. Or the Manning who nearly engineered one of the great last-quarter comebacks in NFL playoff history against them after the 2005 season, only to fail at the end.
But maybe he will be, and that is the Steelers' biggest worry as they prepare for a highly anticipated Sunday night opener in Denver — one that may attract one of the largest regular-season TV audiences in NFL history.
"There's only one Peyton Manning," Steelers safety Ryan Clark said.
Troy Polamalu has seen it all before — the frantic arm-waving at the line of scrimmage, the last-second checkoffs, the on-the-numbers passes, the methodical coolness of a man clearly in charge — and he knows what the Steelers are facing.
"You're talking about probably the greatest player, the smartest player to ever play the game," said Polamalu, who contradicts Patriots owner Robert Kraft's contention that Tom Brady is the best ever.
The Steelers have had success in the limited times they've opposed Manning; they are 2-2 against him, counting that 2005 season playoff game in which they upset a Colts team that started the season 13-0. (By comparison, he's faced the Patriots 16 times.)
In the regular season, Manning is 2-1 against the Steelers, completing 68 of 113 passes for 789 yards, six touchdowns and four interceptions with an 84.3 passer rating and has been sacked six times.
Of course, all those games were with the Colts — Manning, the 36-year-old Broncos version coming off a season he didn't play because of a neck injury, remains a great unknown.
Even if Clark is certain what the Steelers will get from a Hall of Fame-bound quarterback who has had a record 11 4,000-yard seasons.
"There's only one guy who does as much hand motioning and talking as he does," Clark said. "That's just him, that's what you get when you get Peyton Manning. He wasn't going to go to Denver and stop doing it."
Mike McCoy is the Broncos offensive coordinator, but Clark is convinced Manning — a four-time NFL MVP — effectively coordinates his own offense.
"When you get Peyton Manning, you get a package," Clark said. "Peyton Manning's not a cookie-cutter quarterback where you say, 'This is what I run, this is what I coach, you come here and do what I tell you to do.' When you get Peyton Manning, you get the whole thing. When you get Peyton Manning, you bring in what Peyton Manning wants to run."
In Indianapolis, Manning and his receivers could almost read each other's minds, so comfortable were they together. Manning has never played a real game with Decker, Thomas and Andre Caldwell catching his passes, adjusting to his nuances, deciphering all of his line-of-scrimmage histrionics.
The instant recognition of what Manning plans to do, the unspoken communication between the man who throws the ball and the man who catches it, may be missing at first.
"He has a good feel for where blitzes might be coming from and where to get the ball out, and he's as smart a quarterback as they come," defensive end Brett Keisel said. "Those guys were together for a long time in Indy, and it does take time to get that rapport, but he's been working with these (Broncos) guys for a long time now."
Manning's release is so quick, his timing so innate, that he often dodges the sacks and pressure that can rattle another quarterback. At least that was Manning, circa 2010 and before.
The Steelers at times defended against Manning by not giving him a good look at their alignment until just before the snap. The danger in that, Keisel said, is that Manning can run a quick-count play out of the no-huddle offense against a defense that's not aligned.
"It's a different level of preparation," Polamalu said of opposing a Manning or a Brady. "But the truth is — and I don't mean it's easier — but you know what you're going to get. They're going to make plays. A rookie quarterback, a so-so quarterback, you go in hanging your hat on some plays. A quarterback like him, you can't gamble, you can't make mistakes."
You can't let him be Peyton Manning.

Ask Health Experts and Get Answers to Your Health Question ASAP
Dysplasia is an abnormal type of excessive cell growth or proliferation characterized by two components;
1) loss of normal tissue arrangement and
2) cell structure.
Often such cells revert back to normal behavior, but occasionally they gradually become malignant or cancerous. Because of their potential for becoming malignant, areas of dysplasia should be closely monitored by a health professional. Many a times dysplasia, need treatment.
When the dysplasia occurs in muscle, it is called as muscle dysplasia. So, if the muscle cells change their normal arrangement and cell structure, it is termed muscle dysplasia. These can be congenital (by birth) or acquired (occurs late in life). They can occur in smooth muscles (intestines, ureter, bladder etc.) or in heart and in skeletal muscles.
Please feel free for your follow up questions.

By NICK DUKEJuly 24, 2013
FORT BENNING, Ga. (July 24, 2013) -- One of the Army's most recent Medal of Honor recipients visited Fort Benning last week for the 4th Infantry Division's reunion and the unit's monument dedication.
While here, former Staff Sgt. Clinton Romesha took time to visit with basic training Soldiers and shared his experiences.
"I know as a young Soldier it would have been great to pick the brain of a recipient and to draw from their experience," he said. "So, I always try and make myself available to the Soldiers and to the veterans -- to thank them for their service."
He said one of the things he tried to impress upon the young Soldiers was that he considers himself a regular guy rather than a war hero.
"They look at me and think I'm a superstar or a superhero, but it's great to talk to them and let them know that I'm just a regular guy," he said. "I'm a regular Soldier. I went to basic training just like they did. I didn't go Special Forces. I can't do a million pushups. I just did the job that was expected of us and did it with teamwork."
While Romesha considers himself a regular guy, his actions on Oct. 3, 2009, while serving with B Troop, 3rd Squadron, 61st Cavalry Regiment, 4th Brigade Combat Team, 4th Infantry Division, at Combat Outpost Keating in eastern Afghanistan were anything but ordinary.
That day, according to a report published by U.S. Army historian Richard S. Lowry, Taliban fighters launched a coordinated attack on the outpost from three sides at about 6 a.m., capturing its ammunition depot.
Some 300 enemy fighters participated in the attack armed with a recoilless rifle, rocket-propelled grenades, mortars, machine guns and small arms, badly outnumbering the International Security Assistance Force presence of about 85 U.S. Army, Afghan National Army and Latvian Army soldiers and the 35 Afghan soldiers who abandoned their positions. It would later be known as the Battle of Kamdesh.
During the first three hours of the fight, U.S. troops remained under intense mortar and small arms fire, before the Taliban fighters breached the compound and set fire to it. Romesha moved under heavy fire to reconnoiter the area and seek reinforcements from a nearby barracks, helping the ISAF force to regroup and fight despite being targeted by a Taliban sniper.
Romesha led the firefight to reclaim the depot, organizing a five-man team to counterattack while still under fire. He then neutralized one of the Taliban fighters' machine gun teams. While engaging a second, he took cover behind a generator which was struck by a rocket-propelled grenade. Romesha was wounded in the neck, shoulder and arms by shrapnel. Despite being wounded, Romesha directed air support that killed an estimated 30 Taliban and then took out several more Taliban positions.
He provided suppressive fire to allow three other wounded American Soldiers to reach an aid station and then recovered several American casualties while still under fire.
Romesha's efforts allowed the troop to regroup and fight off a force superior in numbers. The fight lasted 12 hours, and eight American Soldiers were killed. Nine Soldiers were decorated with Silver Star Medals for the fight, which was one of the costliest for ISAF forces during the war.
"Not every day do you see nine Silver Stars come out of one firefight," Romesha said. "It was hard work and compassion for each other that put us on top. I get a lot of the attention now, but if it wasn't for them, I wouldn't be here now. I'll never forget the sacrifices of the eight we lost and the sacrifices of Soldiers we've lost in the past during the Global War on Terrorism."
Chief of Staff of the Army Gen. Raymond Odierno took time to honor Romesha during the 4th Infantry Division's monument dedication ceremony, calling him a prime example of what the modern generation of Soldier is capable of.
"It is one of the great privileges of my position as chief of staff of the Army to honor Soldiers like Clint," Odierno said. "He is representative of the tens of thousands of young veterans who have shown the American people and the world that a new greatest generation of American Soldiers has emerged during the last 12 years of war."
Despite his individual accomplishments that day, Romesha has repeatedly insisted that the actions of his squadmates were what ultimately saved his life and earned him the Medal of Honor.
"Everything you do in the military is based on a team," he said. "There are individual awards and individual achievements, but when you boil it down, being part of a team is why we joined the military and that's why America is such a great nation. We draw from each other's strengths and weaknesses. We feed off those. For me, that day was a team effort. Without the rest of the platoon doing their part and without Soldiers who believed in me and what I was doing, it wouldn't have been possible. I was just doing a job just like they were."
As such, he said he wears his medal not in memory of his own accomplishments, but in honor of the Soldiers who never returned home from the Global War on Terror.
"When I wear this, this isn't for me," he said. "I'm just kind of the caretaker for the time being. I wear it for the Soldiers who never made it back, for the veterans of past wars and for the Soldiers who are out there now still going overseas on deployment and still standing up for democracy and the Constitution."

The farewell film from animation master Hayao Miyazaki is a look at the life of Jiro Horikoshi, the man who designed the Japanese Zero fighter plane during World War II.
Full synopsis
Japan's master animator had to be persuaded to make it, we're told. Animated films are for children, he has always thought, and this one isn't. It's less an adventure story than a meditation on modern Japanese history. Miyazaki first worked the idea into a manga series. It was his producer who talked him into translating it to the screen. And the result is an uncompromisingly grown-up film which has whipped up debate among many of his fans. They can't understand why the famously anti-war Miyazaki has chosen to deliver a fictionalised and highly sympathetic account of the life of Jiro Horikoshi, designer of the Zero fighter plane Japan used in World War II.
The reason lies with Miyazaki's long-standing love of aircraft and admiration of those who create them. The Jiro he gives us here is an artist who can't bring himself to give up his vocation, despite his increasing despair over the war and his designs' involvement in it.
Two versions of the film are opening here. One is dubbed with Joseph Gordon-Levitt as the voice of Jiro; the other, in Japanese with sub-titles, has writer-director Hideaki Anno in the part.
As I said, Miyazaki does take his time. He has plenty to impart about the pleasures of flight. He also possesses a visual vocabulary made for the job, as his opening scenes demonstrate, taking us in swooping arcs through the skies above Tokyo. At this stage Jiro is a fantasising schoolboy whose hopes of being a pilot are about to be stymied by his short-sightedness. Never mind. He takes off at night in his dreams, where he also meets his idol, the Italian aeronautics designer, Giovanni Caproni. These dreams take him and Caproni wing-walking while Caproni extols the joys of being able to design and make the miracle machines they both love so much.
A couple of decades have passed when next we catch up with Jiro. He's now on the verge of a brilliant career, although he does have a few obstacles to surmount. The first is the Kanto earthquake of 1923 which becomes, in Miyazaki's hands, an aesthetic experience. Buildings rock and tumble, fires erupt in the rubble and the skies are dulled to an ashy grey. The whole thing is a model of compression so powerful that the Hollywood brand of wholesale destruction seems, in comparison, like a mammoth display of false advertising.
But biopics can be awkward beasts and this one is a sprawling, lolloping example. It's a romance, a spy story with political complications and a tragedy about the many ways in which talent and intelligence can be misused. And at times, these disparate bits collide with an unfortunate clunkiness.
It's at its most beguiling in the romantic sequences that have Jiro wooing Nahoko (Emily Blunt/Miori Takimoto), a girl he first meets during the earthquake. She reappears later at a country hotel where he is taking a break, and they fall in love against a paradisal background of green woods, summer skies and puffy white clouds. After the earthquake, swiftly followed by the Great Depression, Miyazaki can be excused for laying on the schmaltz. He then tops things off even more lyrically by having Jiro fashion a love letter in the form of a paper plane and, after a series of false starts, send it gliding up to Nahoko on her balcony.
Less successful are the intrigues and machinations surrounding the development of his designs. There's a trip to Germany with cloak-and-dagger overtones and a lot of sneaking about back in Japan as he becomes more and more disenchanted with the government he serves. But the stately pace of the action doesn't exactly enhance the suspense if that's the effect that Miyazaki is after. It's hard to tell. Despite the increasing number of craggy-faced secret policemen infiltrating events, the film never rises to a real action sequence. It's about the poignancy of being young, gifted, patriotic and at odds with everything your government is doing to your country.
We're not asked to see Jiro as a pacifist hero. That would have been too much. Whatever is happening around him, his pride in his work remains paramount. In the end, it's a story about artistic obsession, which also means that it's the most personal of all Miyazaki's films. It was also supposed to be his last. And maybe it is. But he's retired at least six times in the past. So who knows? He's going to be greatly missed when the day does come. So breathe deeply, prepare for the longueurs and concentrate on the fluency of his line. In the art of hand-drawn animation nobody does it better.
