Different airplanes have different charms, but seldom do you get to experience two on the same day. As a Cheyenne turboprop owner and a part-time Learjet pilot, I got to experience these two airplanes with my Learjet captain, Jason Hepner, on a weekend that featured flying at 45,000 feet at 600 mph in the Lear; flying at 12,000 feet at 300 mph in the Cheyenne; and floating down the Connecticut River at 1 mph in a unique party boat. Only the boat featured a hibachi bolted to the forward deck.
This opportunity allowed Jason and me to compare airplanes and to switch roles. The trip was as follows: We were to take five passengers in Elite Air's Lear 31A from Orlando, Florida (KMCO), to Providence, Rhode Island (KPVD). I had positioned my Cheyenne at KPVD so I could take Jason up to a mountain cottage near Lebanon, New Hampshire (KLEB), for the night. The next day we were to retrace our steps. Not many pilots get to fly these two airplanes on the same day, much less switch seats.
Our beginning Lear segment was a study in efficiency and timing. We left home base in St. Petersburg, Florida (KPIE), on time so as to arrive at KMCO on time. As we taxied for takeoff in St. Pete, the tower said the previous departure (a Cessna 152) had spotted a bird on the runway. Jason laughed from his captain's perch when I keyed the mic and asked, "Is it a sparrow or a pelican?" The tower reported that the bird was small. We decided to take off and never did see it, but this was not the last wildlife we were to see on the pavement. On the KMCO-to-KPVD leg, we climbed to Flight Level 450 and answered queries from traffic below us, wondering who we were. Our passengers were uniquely pleasant; one gentleman owned a Cirrus — great people to have on board. This segment took two-and-a-half hours and burned through 3,000 pounds of jet-A (about 450 gallons). After arrival we buttoned up the Lear and opened up the Cheyenne. Our comparison ride was about to begin.
It can be safely asserted that Cheyennes and Lear 31s are both all-weather, pressurized, radar-equipped, known-ice airplanes. They are different, and I was eager to see how Jason judged the differences. Though Jason was a turboprop driver at one point, he has left that kind of flying in the dust of his logbook. I was to fly the Cheyenne on the KPVD-to-KLEB leg. The next day, he'd be in the left seat. This was fine with Jason. As we taxied out, he said, "I love an airplane ride."
This pretty much sums up the sentiments of all pilots. I love to be the pilot, but I'll take any airplane ride I can get, anytime.
As the owner of the turboprop, I was proud to show off the WAAS Garmin 430s, Avidyne EX500 and the Garmin G600. Then again, on takeoff, I did notice how much noisier the Cheyenne was, even with those amazing Bose headsets. We were light, and our rate of climb was 1,600 feet per minute. Not bad.
The trip was short, only 121 nautical miles direct, and we were soon headed for Runway 36 at KLEB. We were about nine miles from the airport at 4,900 feet when we were cleared for the visual. A Cheyenne can do this. Those big props act as speed brakes when you pull the power way back. We fell like an anvil.
"Wow, we look high!" Jason said.
We turned off midfield, parked at the "south hangar" and shut down. Big smiles all around. I recited what I thought were the differences between the Lear 31A and the Cheyenne. The Cheyenne has a gaudier avionics display. After all, it has been retrofitted over the years with GPSs, moving maps and synthetic vision. The Lear, which is at least 10 years younger than the Cheyenne, is still pretty much flying with original-issue avionics and flight management system. That said, it is an EFIS airplane, and the FMS can do all kinds of things with a keystroke that takes the Cheyenne multiple pages and inputs.

The Typhoon Season is approaching slowly.
Everything seems to lean towards something and long for water and for a break in the heat. This heat is impressively oppressive. Walking feels like physically pushing oneself through warm chunky soup. Everything agrees to move slower.
A quick rain shower washes the heat and clears this humidity away. It is relief in its purest form. You begin to crave the water and the cooling affects of the storm but like a bizarre addiction, it will be a short lived pleasure. The moisture will evolve into torrential rains that raise the rivers, anger the ocean and soon take over and drown the whole country in brown. The silt and dirt from the towns will flow over the reefs and there will be many casualties both coralline and human. It happens every year.

Bama Very interesting. When I was about 12 or 13 my Dad took me to a baseball game at Wrigley Field. We sat in about the 6th row by the first baseline. The manager got in an argument with the umpire. It was too far away to hear but my Dad could read the managers lips and got the biggest kick out what the manager was saying. Now it turns out that maybe all that manager was saying was: "vacuum." |

Hi Ole. While I agree that Gettysburg has been over-commercialized, there are still plenty of locations to get away from that and get the "feel" of the field. The areas around the Wheat Field, Rose Woods, Stony Hill are examples. And the town itself has many landmarks and CW-era buildings worth seeing. Give G-burg a chance. And, if you have time, drop in at Dale Gallon's place. |

I think it's great so many of you take your kids with you on trips. Mine were 16 and 21 when I became interested in the Civil War. When I picked up my photos from my first trip to a battlefield, I couldn't wait to show them to my family. My son looked quickly through them and handed them to his sister saying, "Here, look. Woods, trees, grass." Their eyes continue to glaze over when I mention the Civil War. |

Never did take the kids to a battlefield, Lincoln Fan. Probably would have done no good. Any good story from the old days sets their eyes rolling. And to think that one of them will get my library! Maybe there's some hope for the granddaughters, if I could drag them away from their 1Pods long enough to get a word or two out of them. ole |

Ole, I would suggest donating your library to some ganization. That's what we're thinking of doing with ours. The kids and grandkids would never look at the books. Even donations to the library are looked at and are almost always then forwarded to the library book sales. We found that out when we first tried to donate. If all else fails, find a younger person who knows good reading when he sees it. |

My first battlefield visit was Gettysburg when I was 8. Before then, all I knew of the town was the Wal-Mart. I still have a picture of my sister and I on a boulder at Big Round Top. I came to school the next day and absorbed everything I could from the books in the library. I've been addicted ever since. Ole, it's a shame that many of my generation take such a disinterest in history. Hopefully when I have kids I'll be able to get them into it. |

When my kids were little I took them to quite a few battlefields. Their favorite was probably Pea Ridge. It is relatively small and it is easy to visualize exactly what happened. After a while they got tired of going and I got tired of dragging them along. So I went into the "go alone" phase of battlefield visiting which I am still in. But I do have a story that shows that sometimes it sinks in. A few years ago my in-laws took our family and my wife's sister's family to Europe to celebrate their 50th wedding anniversary. We did the tour of northern France, Belgium, the Netherlands and Luxembourg. On the plane home I asked my children what was the best part thinking it would be some grand castle, museum, city or something like that. You know what their answer was? "Going to see the battlefield at Waterloo!" |

Due to my location I have yet to see any of the Battlefields out east save one . Manassas was on a school trip to Washington DC and did get to spend about 2 hours there but was only in the 8th grade. (man that was a long time ago). My favorite battlefeild would have to be Wilsons Creek, I love the riding trails they have there. Also took my grandmother and mother there in the 92 spent a wonderful day looking around since I have read alot about the battle was thier Personal tour guide was a great time . Close second would be Lexington of course Really like the Anderson House have done many events there . |

You can read about battles to KNOW what happened, you can look at pictures of battlefields to SEE what happened, but you really have to walk the battlefields to FEEL what happened. That's been my experience. |

Absolutely. The few days I spent tramping about various battlefieds last summer were probably a better education about the war than the all the chapters I'd read so far. (Oh, and I decided to start with 1st Manassas . I'll get round to doing the second when I next cross the pond) |

By Hal Broadfoot
Like you, I get a lot of emails each day, many of which are advertisements for things I don't want or need, or are otherwise the electronic equivalent of junk mail. Unlike you, I also get quite a few emails about birds. Some are pretty interesting.
Take for instance the message I got a month ago from Charles T. Haigh III. Charles T. is an old friend of mine; we are about the same age, and we grew up on the same street on Haymount Hill. He and his parents are birdwatchers who have birded with me several times in the past. When Charles T. wrote to tell me that he had a hummingbird hanging around his family's home in Howard Acres, he got my attention.
There are not supposed to be hummingbirds in Fayetteville, or in North Carolina for that matter, during the first couple of days of March. The historical pattern was for hummingbirds to leave this area in August or September for destinations in Central and South America, and to return in late March, April, or May.
Some hummingbirds might show up here a little early in some years, but March 2 is too early. Even more unusual is that Charles T. believed that the bird in his yard was not the garden variety ruby-throated hummingbird familiar to so many of us. He had noted that his bird had a lot of rusty coloration, which made him believe he was being visited by a rufous hummingbird.
Again, historically, Fayetteville and most of the United States, for that matter, do not get rufous hummingbirds. It was not on most bird lists or in most bird books that catalogued the species of eastern North America. When I was growing up, I was taught that the only hummingbird I was going to see east of the Mississippi River was the ruby-throated hummingbird, and it was only present during the warmer months of the year. Either those facts have changed or they were wrong to begin with.
At least a dozen years ago, birders started finding "lost" hummingbirds with such regularity that we had to re-think what we thought we knew. Researchers, such as Susan Campbell with the N.C. Museum of Natural History, have been documenting - and banding where possible - out-of-place hummingbirds ever since.
We now know that the ruby-throated hummingbird is not alone in its affinity for our state. The last I checked, eight species of hummingbird have been documented in North Carolina. (I've seen six.) While you are still far more likely to see a ruby-throated hummingbird here in the spring and summer months, you do have an infinitesimal chance of seeing something else. And, so far, the data give you a little better odds of seeing a different species during the cooler months.
In fact, some of the most exotic species of hummingbirds found in North Carolina have been found in the dead of winter.
So, what is going?
It could be climate change. It could be that the other species have been here all along. Plumages of rare hummingbirds can look much like those of the ruby-throated, which can be amazingly varied itself. A change in light from sunshine to shade can make a ruby-throated look like something else. For years, birders might have just assumed when looking at a rarity that they were seeing an odd plumage of the ruby-throated or the ruby-throated in bad light. Improvements in binoculars, cameras, and field guides may have led to birders better equipped to identify rarities. There might also be more people watching birds; if you hope to find a one-in-a-million bird, it helps to have a lot of people looking.
Charles T. and his wife and girls found such a rarity. They knew it was a hummingbird by its size and behavior. Nothing else is so small and flies with such agility. Charles T. could tell with his naked eye that it was much rustier than a ruby-throated would be.
Within seconds of walking into the Haigh's kitchen and looking outside into the backyard, I saw a flash of rufous rise up from an azalea bush and flit around after an insect. In the yard, we found it again, and I took a couple of blurry photographs of it hidden in shrubs and perched high atop a tree.
On seeing the them, Susan Campbell agreed with Charles T. and me that it was a rufous hummingbird and not something even rarer. A day later, this visitor from the Pacific Northwest had disappeared. Keep an eye on your yard and your inbox. You never know what might show up.

New Lyme Lake Fishing Map (365 KB)Enhanced New Lyme Lake Fishing Map (599 KB)
Directions to New Lyme Lake (via mapquest)
LOCATION New Lyme Lake is situated approximately 1 mile east of New Lyme off of State Route 6 in Ashtabula County. HISTORY AND DESCRIPTION New Lyme Lake was constructed in 1989 and filled in 1990. This lake was created because there was a need to obtain a large amount of earth for "capping" a former contaminant site at another location. This lake is largely surrounded by a wooded area. The maximum depth is 12 feet. This lake is somewhat unique in that there are a series of finger-like channels associated with it. This lake is 43 acres in size. Boats are allowed, but only electric motors are permitted to be used. New Lyme Lake is part of New Lyme Wildlife Area and is owned by the Division of Wildlife. FISHES OF INTEREST TO ANGLERS Fish species that are found in New Lyme Lake include largemouth bass, bluegill, and channel catfish. These species were initially stocked in 1990. Triploid (i.e. effectively sterile) grass carp were stocked in 1998 to control overabundant aquatic vegetation. Channel catfish are stocked in even-numbered years, since they typically do not reproduce successfully in smaller impoundments. FISHING FORECAST
METHODS OF FISHING AND BEST FISHING SITES Largemouth bass and bluegill can be captured close to shore, especially during the spring and again in the fall. Spinner baits, surface lures, and plastic worms all are good choices for largemouth bass. Waxworms, maggots, or small worms will usually entice the bluegill to bite. A small hook (# 10 or smaller) is the best bet for successful bluegill fishing. Channel catfish can be captured relatively close to shore from spring through fall. Shrimp, night crawlers, or chicken liver are preferred baits for channel catfish. A sliding sinker rig, using a swivel to keep the weight from hitting the hook (such as what would be used for fishing for bass with plastic worms) will work well. A # 4 hook is a preferred size to use for catfish. RECREATIONAL FACILITIES There are really no recreational facilities of note that are nearby New Lyme Lake. This lake is part of the New Lyme Wildlife Area. FISH OHIO Anglers who catch a big fish should enter their prize in the Fish Ohio angler recognition program. A fish qualifies for an award if it meets the minimum size requirement set for the Fish Ohio program. Applications are available at FishOhio.org. FISH MANAGEMENT ACTIVITIES The Division of Wildlife surveys New Lyme Lake largemouth bass and bluegill populations periodically via electrofishing. Fish concentrating structures may be placed as necessary to provide better fishing opportunities. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION The nearest Wildlife District Office is located at 912 Portage Lakes Drive, Akron, Ohio 44319 (phone number: 330-644-2293). To get other maps or publications call toll free 1-800 WILDLIFE. TURN IN A POACHER Ohio's TIP, "Turn In a Poacher," program is helping to curtail poaching throughout the state. TIP is designed to involve the public in reporting wildlife violations. Citizens who observe wildlife violations should call the TIP toll-free hotline, 1-800-POACHER.

Video: Chinese paper art by Xinyu Zhang |
Mutual Contradiction: the world of the white and the black The world consists of contradictions and co-existence. Per ancient Chinese philosophy, "Yin, representing the lunar or female, and Yang, representing the solar or male, depend on each other and disagree with each other. They together created the world." The white and the black are twins in a universe of contradictions and co-dependence. The white represents the life and brightness, while the black represents the death and darkness. Through the white we see the life. Through the black we see the death. The life and the death kiss each other and object each other. The brightness and the darkness fight against each other and also embrace each other. The contradictions co-exist in everything and everywhere. This is the world in where we live, and the message that my installation art presents. |

The current weather info would go where the Featured section is and the forecast would go in the recently added section. Taking it one step further, have the three different cities in the submenu and changing the selection would change the info.
Now I'm not entirely sure that's even doable at the moment, but it'd save having to make another click and tie the home screen together even further.
I was also thinking the new Game screen you've added could use something like this as well. Perhaps a Featured Game and then 4 random ones from the collection. It'd be even better if you could hook into Advanced Launcher and get information from there (ie. number of games in collection, a list of collections, etc).
Yeah exactly, don't know if I could grab info from the Advanced Launcher though, that might be going in over my head since I know nothing of python. Will look into the Weather thing

My Favorite Brownies
Let's talk BROWNIES this week, shall we?
I love brownies! I usually turn to one of my favorite brownie recipes when I need a quick and delicious treat for my family or friends.
They're great for after-school snacks too. Don't judge! I know they're not on the "healthy snack" chart, but sometimes a kid just needs a brownie after a hard day at school. We'll save the carrot sticks and pretzels for a day that my kid wasn't referred to as "Taco Head" all day at school.
Moving on...
I put together a small collage of my most adored brownie recipes for you,...because I love you and I want you to have brownies in your life.
1. Oreo Swirl Brownies
2. Chocolate Chip Cookie Brownies
3. Peanut Butter Snickers Brownies
4. S'Mores Brownies
I also want to share with you my very favorite and most frequently made brownie recipe. I love these particular brownies for several reasons, but primarily because a) they are super quick and easy to make and b) they are so good and satisfy even the most powerful chocolate craving. The recipe produces a cakey brownie-which I happen to prefer. I'm on team CAKE when it comes to brownies. Fudgey brownies sometimes give me the creeps.
I give you My Favorite Brownie!

by Brandy's Baking
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 34-38 minutes
- 1 1/2 cup flour
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 11 Tbsp unsalted butter
- 1 cup sugar
- 4 Tbsp water
- 1 tsp instant espresso powder
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 2 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup bittersweet or semi-sweet chocolate chips
Preheat oven to 325.
Line a 9x13" pan with foil or parchment paper and spray with non-stick spray.
Combine flour, baking soda and salt in a small bowl; set aside.
In a large saucepan, melt the butter with the sugar and water. Bring just to a boil and remove from heat. Stir in the chocolate chips, espresso powder and vanilla. Stir until chocolate chips are completely melted. Whisk in eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Slowly blend in flour mixture, and mix until batter is smooth and shiny. Fold in chocolate chips.
Pour into prepared pan and bake for 34-38 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Do not overbake. (If you are going to continue baking, be careful that your toothpick is coated with uncooked batter, instead of melted chocolate chips.) Cool completely before cutting.

Comments about Way Basics Eco-Friendly Storage Cube - White:
I love the Cube, but I also like it in the color white. It's clean, classy, and I can tell when my daughter puts her [*] hands on it haha. We use it for our craft supplies, so it gets used heavily. Very strong and worth the buy.

I have three of these in my house and they look very sleek. They assembled very quickly, so there was zero headache involved. I hate getting furniture from the store that has assembly required with all sorts of screws and nails, but this was nothing like that. Very simple, affordable, and cute!

Yeah, forgot it's release date...but it did say Summer
Totori was the one that said fall...and it came out on September 27th, meaning it can be late September/Early October
As for how long, it depends really...I mean, they actually gave a solid release date for Legasista, so I think they really don't have an idea just yet on when this will be released
Well, a developer has good reasons to not give solid dates, but NISA only translates and dubs, and they've been at it for awhile, so you'd think they'd have a good estimate.
There are publishers who tell people when they have a good idea when, and publishers that hold dates back for as long as possible. I have a good feeling NISA is the former kind.

Los Altos, Calif.- More bad news for taxpayers, as a new study says the "California Public Employee Retirement System" can't afford to pay employee pensions... and it's going to get worse. The study said as more "baby boomers" retire, the state faces an even bigger financial burden and you're footing the bill.
A Stanford think tank known as California Common Sense, released the study on the state's non pension benefits this week. Non pension benefits are the fastest growing and unfunded liability to California. Also health care benefits is the largest financial burden and as 'baby boomers' begin to retire...they're numbers are increasing and they're living longer which means more money is needed now or the State and City retirees won't have their benefits when they need it later. The scary fact is some cities haven't even begun to pay into their retiree benefits.
The study also said if the state doesn't act now...retiree benefit accounts will eventually take money from essential state services such as public safety and education.
Here's what the think tank analysis has found.....the states liability for benefits has doubled every 5 years since 1999. At this rate retiree benefits will consume the entire states budget in 35 years!
Also on a positive note, if the state starts to pay it's full contribution now and continues to do so...as determined by the Public Employee Retirement System or CALPERS...it'll save 21 billion dollars. And pre-funding these accounts now will secure more money toward future benefits payments due to utilizing investment fund growth over the years.
To solve this problem the think tank suggests the state restructure the way CALPERS pays for these long term benefits or restructure these benefits themselves. Here's how: the state should restrict eligibility for full benefits based on time worked, reduce the amount paid to healthcare costs or move to a different pension structure altogether.

Why, why, why?!? All the antis here at work are up in arms again, about banning shooting on any state or public land... And the way these idiots keep sparking fires, it's getting hard to argue with them.
Watch for smoke, stomp it out. That simple. Come on folks. And no exploding targets in dry brush, duh!
Tenuki wrote:I really have a hard time believing that these fires were really caused by just shooting. Maybe shooting at propane tanks, or exploding targets. Other than that, however, I just cannot imagine how the simple act of firing a round into dry grass could start a fire. I just don't see it happening.
Am I wrong?

I dont assume anything I hear on the news as truth.

Sir Winston's Aboard The Queen Mary
Online Reservations
Go at sunset, stunning views, excellent service, no better waiters anywhere, food outstanding, with excellent presentation
Our server, Tom, made the night most spectacular. My husband and I had our 20th year anniversary together and we couldn't have been treated more like royalty. We had a 4-course meal and everything was cooked to perfection. The "Queen Mary Sparkling wine" was delicious. I highly recommend the scallops appetizer, lobster bisque, Chateaubriand, and chocolate souffle. He had the wild mushroom in puff pastry appetizer, also followed by the wonderfully creamy lobster bisque, and the duck entree, with a flourishing finish of the grand marnier souffle. Tom then brought us out a complementary dish of chocolate cake with "Happy 20th Anniversary" written in chocolate on the plate, along with some chocolate covered strawberries. We'll be back!
My husband and I celebrated our year anniversary at Sir Winston's and we were given the best table in the house! Overlooking the front of the ship, where we got married. The service was amazing. Jesus was our waiter and is the best at what he does! They all made us feel so special. Thanks for yet another wonderful night aboard the Queen Mary!
We enjoyed a Chateaubriand for two and it was perfect! Wonderful cut of beef cooked to perfection. Service was professional and attentive. Patrons were all well dressed. No shorts or T's. wine choices were varied and our waiter was helpful.
Beautiful view, excellent food, great service, you get it all at Sir Winston's on the Queen Mary. A perfect evening!
Overall the restaurant was very nice, we had made some prior requests which had not happened on arrival at the restaurant, I.e. champagne for an anniversary we were celebrating. The service was slow to start, 40 mins until our order was taken. On arrival the food was fantastic and worth the wait, we did receive a special anniversary dessert which was also nice. The views are spectacular and the setting of the restaurant very nice. My real disappointment is the dress code, it stipulates a no jeans dress code and smart but yet let's people in pretty much in what they like, which for a ship of such old style glamour is. Real shame, spoils it.
It was my wife's birthday and I chose this to have a new experience. I was NOT disappointed...it was WONDERFUL! The food was SO good I was thinking Chef Ramsey cooked it! The scene at night from our vantage point was very romantic and she even got a piece of cake! We HIGHLY recommend this place!
I had a client in from India that I took to Sir Winston's for dinner, it was a perfect setting for a business dinner. Also great for out of town guests or a quiet dinner with my husband.
Food was Outstanding! Staff was on par with the best I've ever experienced! I would go back in a heartbeat! Stellar Experience all the way around! Spectacular view ..... This retaurant will not let you down! Enjoy!
We went to Sir Winstons for our 8th anniversary. The restaurant was beautiful and almost every table had a view of the city and ocean. The service was excellent! Through talking to our waiter we discovered that he had been working at Sir Winstons for 29 years! Sir Winstons made our anniversary very memorable.
Excellent food, cooked to mouth watering excellent high standard & we didn't go away hungry. The high class of stewardship from the waiters is up to the standard of a 5 star hotel. If you dine there on a night out you will not be disappointed. In fact you'll be overwhelmed by the out of this world service provided by all concerned.
Everything was great. The food, the service and the views were as advertized-spectacular. The manager "JB" even handled a parking issue professionally and with great charm. We will be going back for dinner soon. Living in Long Beach now, thanks to JB's actions, Sir Winston's is now on our "favorites" list.
The food here was superb. The service was exceptional. The view was amazing. I gave it 5 stars overall and I don't give 5 stars to any place. Yes, it is pricey so it may be best saved for a very special occasion. After dinner, go down to the piano lounge and listen to the talented pianist and have one drink for the road. No one will stop you from dancing with your favorite person.
We have been going to Sir Winstons for 20 years. We usually go for our anniversary or special occasions. Our seating was not very good, we should have asked for front dining area. We were towards the back but it was okay. Food was outstanding as usual. They are consistently great. With drinks and wine we spent a little over $300 for two of us, but that price was reasonable for what we actually got. Only negative was they don't allow valet parking any longer for Sir Winstons, so it was about a half mile walk which was tough for my wife in heels. That might actually keep us from going back unless we get car service.
We had a great time at Sir Winston's. They were very accommodating with my gluten free diet. The food and service were excellent. We had a table next to the window and had a great view overlooking Long Beach. I highly recommend this restaurant!
If you have never done it dining aboard the Queen Mary is great for a special evening. The food and service are high end, and the view from the main dining room gives you a feel for what first class travel would have been like back in the ships hey day. The lounge has a pianist to entertain, and the ship is fill of pictures on the numerous celebrities that dined, danced and traveled on the QM back in the day.
The service was outstanding. We requested a table by the window and it was granted. Their raisin bread was very delicious. We loved the extra touch of the raspberry sorbet and chocolate covered strawberries. The cocktails were divine. However, the food fell short. I ordered a medium well beef wellington but it was served well done and was dry. The raspberry soufflé was burned.
We dined here this week while staying on board the Queen Mary. Eating here was very pleasant although pricey. The service was excellent and we couldnt fault it, unlike the rest of our stay on the Queen Mary.
The entire experience was perfect until a very large and loud group of Bail Bondsmen came in for a banquet. That aside, the food was incredible, the service was prompt and very responsive and the atmosphere (until the loud group came in) was very relaxing and comfortable. Sir Winston' s is a step back in time and elegance.
Great food in a special setting with attentive waiter service
The service and food were excellent, however there was a very long wait between starter and intermezzo and main course service. Thank you, Chris Robson
My new husband & I stayed on the Queen Mary following our ceremony & made reservations at Sir Winston's to celebrate. The service was superb. The food was amazing as well. He ordered the surf & turf special, while I had the Beef Wellington. I can see why this is one of their signature dishes! We also started with the Oysters Rockefeller. We enjoyed a deliscious Alexander Valley cab. For dessert the raspberry soufflé cannot be beat. The atmosphere was exactly what we were looking for, elegant and romantic with an "old-timey" flair. We look forward to coming here for future anniversaries!
Food was good, atmosphere was beautiful, service was excellent!
The Sir Winston exceeded expectations. Excellent food and service. The staff was very accommodating to our special requests. It was our anniversary and as a surprise they brought us chocolate cake and chocolate strawberries. "Happy Anniversary" was spelled out on the serving plate. What a surprise touch.
Sir Winston's is a wonderful dining experience - fabulous varied menu for meat and seafood lovers. Absolutely stunning views; excellent service.
This restaurant is amazing, and somehow not that pricy. The only thing i would say about the appetizer is, they are a little bit expensive for the quantity you get, but they are excellent. Over all this is the perfect restaurant to me, Service is perfect, food is awesome, ambiance (for those who are nostalgic) is 40 ish, and the digestive walk on the deck after the cognac or brandy at the bar like they probably use to do it back in the days is simply pure happiness. I would recommend this restaurant for a romantic date, for a business dinner, and for people who simply love what is good and beautiful.
We went for my birthday and everyone enjoyed their dinner. The scallops were amazing, my husband loved the beef Wellington and the other two couples with us ordered the chateaubriand and loved it. Service was great. Wasn't crowded. They served a piece of cake for my birthday and chocolate covered strawberries which was very nice. We will definitely go back.
This place is old school so you won't come here for a food adventure. But you will get solid dinner, a nice quiet location on a quirky boat that's been around for several generations. It was so relaxing and wonderful. Usually places are so loud, but this place was nice and quiet, good jazz in the background, and the service was efficient, friendly and just great.
This is a fabulous restaurant to take a loved one for a special occasion! The food was excellent, the service fantastic, and the view was fabulous!
Fabulous dinning, service, ambiance, you name it!!!! We has the BEST waiter and also a gorgeous view, delectable food, you name it we found it here!!!!
Overall experience it was the BEST! Our server Drew was very customer service oriented and cared about us and our celebration for our one year anniversary. The best service ever, especially for our first year together as a young couple. Best experience. Ever will come back and recommend to others.
The charm of Sir Winston's begins as you walk through the Queen Mary and up the final flight of stairs the the restaurant. It is beautifully appointed and appears as it must have when the Queen Mary sailed the ocean. The service, from the hostess to the servers, is impecable. The menu selections offered choices without being overwhelming. The evening ended with a complimentary desert in celebration of our wedding anniversary. It was a perfect setting in which to celebrate a very special occasion.
I was a bit doubtful that the quality of food and service would be up to par. The ship seems a bit worn and the atmosphere just wasn't too exciting. Not many people on board (it was a weekday). However, the meal was wonderful! The quality superb and the service impeccable. Drew, our waiter made the experience especially delightful. From palate cleanser to complimentary chocolate strawberries, the dinner was great. The quantity and quality of the chateaubriand for two was perfect. Cooked to the correct temperature and served tableside. The accompanying vegetables were cooked to perfection and complimented the taste of the beef. We would not hesitate to recommend Winston's to any and all.
Be aware if there is an event it was mayhem traffic with the parking extremely disorganized. It first started with not being able to get to the valet although we asked several people. Sir Winston's had many tables at the window but did not sit us there and we had a reservation. We inquired about the Chateubrian and the goofy waiter said it was ok. It was really delicious. Waiter focused on what he could sell but not clearing the table. Service did not equal the hype. They sat a very loud large table right near us and focused their attention there - practically shouting the specials out to them. Price is very reasonable and the service issues can be fixed.
A great place to indulge yourself. Very attentive staff in a elegant setting. Then you are on board the Queen Mary and the great harbor views! Had their signature beef wellington. With melt in your mouth cut wrapped in light pasty my mouth waters even now!
Lovely dining experience .... great ambience, great service, beautiful decor, wonderful food!
The food, the setting and the service were simply outstanding. The noise level was moderate to quiet which we appreciated so we could communicate with each other without yelling across the table. A great romantic setting!
Tired of being rushed and eating on someone else's schedule? Sir Winston's is for you. Quiet, unhurried dining, outstanding view of Long Beach Harbor, intimate atmosphere, and OF COURSE food to die for....perfect.... even if you don't stay at the Queen Mary Hotel..... Sir Winston's is a GREAT PLACE... And if "Drew" gets to serve you.....it'll be even better.....He is TOP KNOTCH.
We went there for our anniversary, service was fantastic seated in a nice quiet area with a beautiful view. Food was also great we enjoyed everything we ordered especially The beef wellington. I had noted on the open table invite that it was our anniversary just so we wouldn't be seated next to a large group. At the end of the dinner our waiter brought us out a desert plate with happy anniversary written in chocolate it was definitely a very nice surprise.
Wonderful dinner at this resturant. Excellent service and delicious food. Make sure u make a online reservation!
when my husband and I can find time for a romantic get away, we always head for the Queen Mary and dinner at Sir Winston's. Every table has a view of the harbor and the beach along Ocean Blvd. The food is fantastic! Presentation is beautiful and it always tastes as good as it looks. Jesus, our favorite waiter, is very attentive. We live in Las Vegas and have access to some of the best restaurants in the world, but when we crave Chateaubriand, we head to Sir Wintston's. Don't forget to try the souffle for dessert too. Not many restaurants make it any more and it is chocolate heaven! Make sure you make reservations, especially if its during a holiday or weekend. This restaurant is very popular.
Had a lovely meal at Sir Winston's while staying on the Queen Mary. My husband and I both thought the food was excellent, the service was impeccable, the wine list was good & the view was great. Definitely fine dining prices, but it WAS fine dining & worth every penny.
I was very impressed with everything about this restaurant. The food was delicious and the service was the best.
Can't say enough about the food or the service and that was under holiday pressure. Will certainly go again
The food and atmosphere for our Thanksgiving dinner was great. The staff were very professional. Dinner aboard the Queen Mary is a real treat.
As always it's a great special occasion restaurant. We were seated almost exactly at our reservation time (4:30pm). Food is always great (excellent Lobster Bisque). Service was fine, but as can be expected on a big holiday, it was a little slow near the end of our meal when a couple large tables were seated.
I had never been to Sir Winston's or, of course, the Queen Mary. We decided to travel to Long Beach and have our Thanksgiving dinner at Sir Winston's. What a great decision. The decor, view, and ambience are incredible. The service is respectful and thorough. Although there were other choices, we opted for the turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, and green beans. the food was excellent. Although other diners were waiting, there was no feeling of being rushed. We had an outstanding meal, and with no bother of leftovers or dishes, this was the best Thanksgiving we've had in many years. Being able to stroll around the ship, and then spend the night in a beautiful stateroom made it even more enjoyable. This may be our new tradition.
Outstanding experience. Great food. Wines very reasonably priced.
What a special evening it was dining at Sir Winston's. Beautiful view, wonderful service, and delicious food. It all made for a wonderful birthday celebration and a beautiful evening, classy but not stuffy.
The Chateaubriand for two was excellent. This type of steak is suppose to be second only to a filet mignon. Not in this case. The preparation and presentation were outstanding. Add to that a romantic atmosphere and the night lights of Long Beach's skyline- well it couldn't be any better.

March 2007 -- Alejandra Hernandez, who received her Master of Architecture degree in December 2006, has won the coveted 2007 Charter Award from the Congress for the New Urbanism. Her thesis project for the waterfront in Valparaiso, Chile, was also awarded a thesis prize by the School in December 2006. Ms. Hernandez's committee included professors Tom Schumacher, Matthew Bell and Robert Dorgan.
In addition, the ARCH 700 Urban Design Studio project "Connecting the City of Water to its History," that focused on Castellamare di Stabia, was also selected for recognition at this year's CNU awards program. Professor Matthew Bell lead the student team.
Out of twenty projects submitted this year, only five received awards, two of which were given to students from the School.

Former Wheaton North star ready for last hurrah
EVANSTON – Having graduated this past year with a communications major and a business minor, Mike Trumpy is taking graduate classes as he prepares for his final football season in a Northwestern uniform.
A former Wheaton North High School standout, Trumpy has scored eight career touchdowns for the Wildcats despite a pair of season-ending injuries in 2010 and 2011. Last fall, he rushed for 349 yards and three scores as Northwestern won its first bowl game since 1949, beating Mississippi State in the Gator Bowl.

text: I feel almost silly asking this question, considering that people normally use this supplement as a daily antioxidant. However, since there is some evidence that it significantly increases thyroid hormones, I'm wondering if this product should be cycled like any other product that works on the thyroid (ie. 3,3 and 3,5 based products). I am currently taking a 500mg of a 20% Olereupin(sp?) extract three times per day.

Ultimate Frisbee Team Hasn't Lost Yet
Yeah, sure, we all know how well the Highland Park football and basketball teams are doing this semester. But what about the Ultimate Frisbee squad? The Scots spent two November weekends competing against the top teams in Texas.
The first matches took place at Pearce High School in Richardson the weekend of Nov. 9. In their first game, Highland Park faced longtime rival Flower Mound Marcus. The Scots started slow but hit their stride and won, 13-11. They then rolled past defending state champion Coppell, 12-6, and Pearce, 13-2.
A week later, the Scots rolled into the Elite 8 Tournament in Waco, which matched the top four teams from North Texas against the top four teams from across the state. Highland Park started strong by defeating Austin Liberal Arts and Science Academy, 13-1, and fought off a comeback from Kingwood with a 13-10 victory. They went on to beat St. Thomas, 13-2, and Belton, 13-4.
The Scots' next game isn't until after Christmas, so they have time to sit back and bask in the glow of their red-hot Frisbees.

Scots-Wylie Game Moved to Allen
With cold temperatures and wintry weather possibly in the forecast for later this week, Highland Park and Wylie have agreed to move their Class 4A Division I Region II final from frigid Southlake to balmy Allen.
OK, so perhaps the conditions won't be very favorable one way or the other, but the game will still be played at 7:30 p.m. Friday, only now it will be at Eagle Stadium in Allen. That slot became available when Ennis and Mesquite Poteet decided to shift their game in Allen from Friday to Thursday.
"This stadium was actually our preferred venue, and it has just become available," HPISD athletic director Johnny Ringo said. "With the possibility of inclement weather on Friday, Eagle Stadium's location makes for easier travel, and its design offers better protection from the weather."
Discounted tickets are available in advance at the Highlander Stadium box office this week. The ticket office will be open from 8:30 to 11:30 a.m. Wednesday through Friday, and 1:30 to 3:30 p.m. Wednesday and Thursday. Advance tickets are $7 for adults and $5 for students. All tickets will be $10 at the gate, and parking will be $5.
The stadium might have been the preferred venue, but it has yielded opposite results this season for the two teams. The Scots suffered their only loss of the season there to Aledo by a 44-3 score on Aug. 31, while Wylie had their best offensive output of the season on the same turf in a 64-46 win over South Oak Cliff in the regional semifinals last week.

Boys Basketball Team Remains Unbeaten
Highland Park's boys basketball team remained unbeaten with a 73-70 home win over Richardson last Tuesday. The Scots trailed the Eagles by 2 at halftime, but came out strong in the third quarter with a 23-11 scoring advantage to take the lead, which they never relinquished.
Evan Beucler and Clayton Murtha paced the Scot scoring with 24 and 23 points, respectively. Derek Cahn added an additional 18 points.
Both teams made eight 3-point shots, with the visitors making more regulation baskets. The difference in the game came down to foul shots, with the Scots sinking 17 to the opponents' 10.
Highland Park will host McKinney at about 8 o'clock this evening as part of a girls-boys doubleheader.

Westcott Makes Candidacy Official
Park Cities native Chart Westcott on Tuesday filed to run for the District 108 seat in the Texas House of Representatives.
Westcott submitted more than 5,000 petition signatures to the Dallas County GOP in order to be placed on the ballot for the March 4 Republican primary. He is a partner and general counsel of Commodore Partners, a Dallas private equity firm.
The seat is being vacated by University Park resident Dan Branch, who is running for Texas attorney general.
Westcott's opponents in the primary are expected to be Morgan Meyer of University Park and Court Alley of Devonshire. As of Tuesday, only Meyer had filed to run. The filing deadline is Dec. 9.
"Our objective is to spread our conservative message, to win in March and then help all Republican candidates win in Dallas County in November," Westcott said in a statement. "We want to bring common-sense conservative values to all levels of government."

hi! Can you help?
I've been following the tutorial in the link above and am stuck. It tells me to create long, thin shapes and duplicate. Fine! Then it asks me to 'add' the shapes together to make a new object; when I do this from the pathfinder pane, it groups the objects but makes them invisible! I want to intersect a shape with these lines (as per in the tutorial) but it just isn't happening. Am I missing something?

TOWARD SPACE--"Long before the first Earth-dweller makes a landfall on the Moon, there will be other firsts, and in a sense, man is even now probing across the borders of space. In a recent experimental flight, the Douglas Skyrocket, a pilot-carrying craft with a rocket motor, rose to an altitude--reportedly 15 miles--where more than 96 per cent of the Earth's atmosphere lay below the pilot's feet. As far as his oxygen supply is concerned, man crosses the borders of space at an altitude of about 10 miles. The pilot of the Douglas Skyrocket crossed this border. In order to do so he had to be encased in an airtight envelope inside his cabin--i.e., he wore a spacesuit."
