We’re celebrating Memorial Day weekend by offering free standby flights to military dressed in uniform* from any of our 11 airports (9 in Hawaii & 2 in California).
“Being a veteran myself, I have great admiration and appreciation for all the members of our armed services,” said Ron Hansen, CEO of Mokulele Airlines, “That’s why to thank the military for their services we’re inviting them to try a little of ours free of charge from May 27th-May 30th. ”
In addition to the free standby flights for people in uniform, anyone with a valid Military I.D. will receive 10% OFF the published fare and two free checked bags when they use promo code SALUTE on mokulele.com valid on Hawaii flights.
“On behalf of the entire Mokulele Ohana, let me extend a sincere and heartfelt Mahalo to all of our military personnel and their families,” said Hansen. “We have a tremendous amount of respect and admiration for all of those who serve, and have served, this great country of ours. We look forward to showing you the true beauty of the islands. Welcome aboard.”

U.S. airlines and airports are spending millions on added workers to avoid a repeat of long security lines as the coming Memorial Day weekend kicks off what’s expected to be a record year for summer travel.
“We are concerned for this weekend, where we’ll see higher than normal flight loads,” said Ross Feinstein, a spokesman for American Airlines Group Inc. “That will just continue into June and pretty much all the way to September.”

Not everyone follows the expiration date stamped on food and now there’s a good reason why. They’re confusing and don’t always mean what you think.

Multivitamins are a combination of many different vitamins that are normally found in foods and other natural sources.
Multivitamins are used to provide vitamins that are not taken in through the diet. Multivitamins are also used to treat vitamin deficiencies (lack of vitamins) caused by illness, pregnancy, poor nutrition, digestive disorders, and many other conditions.
Business-oriented social networking site LinkedIn recently disclosed that its 2012 hacking episode affected 117 million users instead of the original estimate of 6.5 million. Chances are good that if you have a LinkedIn account, your password was compromised.
Even more chilling is a report that these passwords have been put up for sale by nefarious characters on the Web. What, then, can you do to protect yourself against such evildoers?

In 1872, the small island off Iwilei in Honolulu Harbor – “Kamokuʻākulikuli” – became the site of a quarantine station used to handle the influx of immigrant laborers drawn to the islands’ developing sugar plantations. Quarantine Island (what is now referred to as Sand Island) became the largest US quarantine station of the period, accommodating 2,255-individuals. This facility included two hospitals and a crematorium.
One of its residents was Dr William Francis James. James was a graduate physician and surgeon.

Get a copy of Your Social Security Statement (yes, that’s the official name). You may recall receiving a printed statement in the mail annually. As a part of a budget-cutting plan, the agency ended these mailings several years ago and instead put the information online, where few people saw it. After prolonged complaints, Social Security now sends paper statements on a modified schedule to older Americans, but everyone else has to set up an online account.
If you don’t have a recent Social Security statement, go to the “My Social Security” website and sign up—it’s easy to do. You’ll see a four-page document containing your wage history and benefit projections. Here’s a rundown of the key sections in the statement:
Bulking up your diet with high-fiber foods can help you slim down.
You’ve heard it from your mother and no doubt in countless television ads — eat more fiber! If you’re counting calories and reading nutrition labels, bulking up your weight loss plan to include fiber may seem like just one more diet chore. But adding fiber to your diet is actually easier than you might think.
Social Security wages include the money you earn that is subject to the Social Security portion of payroll taxes — also known as OASDI taxes. Currently, the withholding rate is 6.2% of the earnings, up to the Social Security earnings cap, or wage base, for both the employer and the employee. This amount changes over time to keep up with inflation, so here’s a primer on Social Security wages and how they affect your retirement benefits.
Most people know about the 401(k) match and the tax break you often get for saving money in a 401(k) plan. But there are other lesser-known benefits of investing in a workplace retirement account. Don’t miss out on these 401(k) plan perks.
