Killarney Tourist Attractions
Killarney (Cill Airne, "Church of the Sloe") lies near the coast in the southwest corner of Ireland. Nearby lie the well-known Killarney Lakes.The beauty of the surrounding area and the wide range of recreation and leisure activities it offers make Killarney one of Ireland's most popular tourist centers. Once a typical little country town but now largely given over to the tourist trade, Killarney itself has little in the way of sights.The Roman Catholic cathedral, St Mary's (by Pugin, 1855) and the Protestant parish church, also St Mary's, are both in Early English style.Opposite the Franciscan church (1860), near the station, stands a monument to the "four poets of Kerry" (17th and 18th C.): Pierce Ferriter (d. 1653), Geoffrey O'Donoughue (d. 1677), Aodhagan O'Rahilly (d. 1728) and Eoghan Ruadh O'Sullivan (d. 1784).
National Museum of Irish Transport
In East Avenue Road, which leads to the Killarney bus station, is the National Museum of Irish Transport. As well as a collection of vintage vehicles, including a 1907 "Silver Stream," designed by an Irishman, and a 1910 "Wolseley Sidderly," in which Yeats explored the area, there are old bicycles and motorcycles and a complete workshop of the 1930s.
Killarney Lake District
Visitors who want to see the Killarney lake district have the choice between doing so on their own or taking advantage of the sightseeing trips organized by local agencies. Most people opt for a package covering travel in a jaunting car (a light open horse-drawn car), on ponyback and by boat. One such trip - almost the standard tour - is the following: by jaunting car from Killarney round the north side of the Lower Lake to Kate Kearney's Cottage; from there on a pony, in a jaunting car or on foot over the Gap of Dunloe and down to the Upper Lake; then by boat from the south end of the lake by way of the Middle Lake to Ross Castle; and finally back to Killarney by jaunting car.The lakes around Killarney, of varying size, lie in a breathtakingly beautiful landscape of mountains and hills formed by glacial action. The largest of the lakes is the Lower Lake, also known as Lough Leane, immediately southeast of Killarney. It is separated by a tongue of land from the smaller Middle Lake or Muckross Lough. A narrow channel links these two lakes with the Upper Lake, the smallest of the three. 4mi/6km away to the east is Lough Guitane. To the south, where the hills rise to 2,700ft/820m are numbers of smaller lakes, mostly mere hill tarns. The shores of all these lakes have a dense covering of woodland - oak, arbutus, bamboos, giant ferns, etc. In early summer the roads are bordered by banks of tall foxgloves and the hillsides are covered with huge and brilliantly colored rhododendron bushes.
Killarney National Park
Some 23sq.mi/60sq.km of the Killarney area has been designated a National Park. Included are the Lower Lake, Muckross Lake and the Upper Lake and their shores. The heart of the National Park is the Bourne Vincent Memorial Park around Muckross House. This park was presented to the Irish nation in 1932 by the Bourne family and Senator Vincent from California. There are various waymarked paths through the region.
Knockreer House
A few minutes' walk westwards from the center of Killarney stands Knockreer House, surrounded by beautiful gardens.Killarney National Park Education Centre is based in Knockreer House, the last of the Kenmare mansions, and has spectacular views over the National Park.
Ross Castle
Near the town of Killarney is Ross Castle, a tower house surrounded by walls with round towers. There was an old prophecy that the castle would be taken only by an attack from the water. In 1652, taking advantage of this, Cromwell's General Ludlow had a large boat brought up and launched in the Lower Lake: whereupon the defenders, seeing this as a fulfillment of the prophecy, at once surrendered.The castle contains 16th and 17th C. oak furniture.
Innisfallen Island
From the pier at Ross Castle near Killarney visitors can be rowed out to the quiet little island of Innisfallen, with the remains of a monastery (National Monument). Here at the beginning of the 13th C. were written the "Annals of Innisfallen," now in the Bodleian Library in Oxford. On the northeast side of the island is a small 12th C. church of red sandstone. Innisfallen still preserves the old native woodland of Ireland - rowan, ash, yew and holly.
Muckross Friary
3mi/5km south of Killarney in a lovely woodland setting, we come to Muckross Friary (15th C.: National Monument), one of the best-preserved Franciscan abbeys in Ireland. The church, with a massive central tower, contains a number of tombs. The very beautiful cloister is surrounded by arcading in different architectural styles, and in the center is a huge yew (a tree frequently found in monasteries, since it provided good wood for carving). Three flights of steps lead to the monastery rooms on the upper floor.
Muckross House
Past Muckross Friary, to the south of Killarney, on the main road, in a park with magnificent plantations of rhododendrons, stands Muckross House. Some of the rooms, with their Victorian furniture, can be visited, including the rooms occupied by Queen Victoria during her visit in 1861. In the basement are several workshops (smithy, weaving room, pottery and saddlery) where visitors can watch craftsmen at work.
Muckross Traditional Farms
An additional attraction at Muckross House is an outdoor representation of the lifestyles and farming traditions of a rural community of the 1930s. This is not a museum but a real working community consisting of farmers' houses, laborers' cottages and a blacksmith's forge.
Dinis Island
Past Muckross House, to the south of Killarney, along the north side of Muckross Lough with its curiously shaped limestone rocks is Brickeen Bridge, leading to Dinis Island, where boats can be hired for trips on the three lakes.
Kerry County Life Experience
To attract more visitors to the area of Muckross House the Killarney National Park recently gained the Kerry County Life Experience. This gives visitors an insight into the life and work of farmers in the 1930s. Three large farmhouses and their outbuildings were reconstructed and completely furnished. The adjoining land is farmed according to the methods employed at that time.
Devil's Punchbowl
Past Muckross House and Brickeen Bridge, to the south of Killarney, the road continues along the Muckross lake to join the N71, which here traverses the park between the lakeside and Torc Mountain (1,740ft/530m). On the east side of the hill the River Torc flows down from a little mountain lake known as the Devil's Punchbowl and plunges over a 60ft/18m high sandstone cliff called Torc Cascade.
Torc Cascade
Past Muckross House and Brickeen Bridge, to the south of Killarney, the road continues along the Muckross lake to join the N71, which here traverses the park between the lakeside and Torc Mountain (1,740ft/530m).On the east side of the hill the River Torc flows down from a little mountain lake known as the Devil's Punchbowl and plunges over a 60ft/18m high sandstone cliff to form the beautiful Torc Cascade.
Mangerton Mountain
The path to the top of Mangerton Mountain (2,756ft/840m) passes the Devil's Punchbowl. From the top there are breathtaking views of hills near and far, lakes, valleys and arms of the sea - at their most impressive when passing clouds cast their shadows and showers of rain are gusting by.
Past Mangerton Mountains, the road continues southwest, flanked by rocky hillsides to the Upper Lake, and comes to Derrycunnihy, a place of enchanting beauty where a waterfall dashes down over rocks in a setting of dense greenery. To the northeast the old road to Killarney goes through a wildly beautiful valley. Higher up, on the Kenmare road, is one of the finest viewpoints in the area, Ladies' View. The name derives from the fact that Queen Victoria and her ladies-in-waiting stopped here 100 years ago to admire the view.From the Upper Lake it is possible to return to Ross Castle by boat, sailing along narrow waterways with wooded shores, past the "Eagles's Nest" and Dinis Island.
Gap of Dunloe
The western part of the Killarney National Park extends from the Upper Lake to the southwest shore of the Lower Lake by way of Purple Mount (2,698ft/822m) and its northern foothills. This range of hills is separated from Macgillicuddy's Reeks to the west by the rocky defile known as the Gap of Dunloe, best reached from the R562, which follows the north side of the Lower Lake. From the road to the Gap, which goes off on the left just after the golf courses, can be seen Dunloe Castle, set amid trees, and a group of ogham stones (National Monument).It is customary to drive as far as Kate Kearney's Cottage, but from there the climb to the pass (some 2.5mi/4km) is usually continued in a jaunting car, on a pony or on foot. There are five little lakes, fed by a rapid mountain stream. The highest of these is Serpent Lake, into which St Patrick is said to have consigned all the snakes he expelled form Ireland. The mighty rocks bearing the marks of glacial action which flank the gorge give an excellent echo. From the top of the pass (784ft/239m) there are superb views of hills, valleys and lakes in the varied shades of green, yellow and brown presented by the vegetation and the red sandstone rocks.
Dunloe Castle Hotel
An expanded tree collection is to be found within sight of the Gap of Dunloe.
3mi/5km from Killarney, on high ground to the right of the R562, stand the church and round tower of Aghadoe (National Monument), formerly belonging to a monastery. Built into the south wall of the church is an ogham stone. To the southwest of the church are the ruins of a circular keep (13th C; National Monument), in a rectangular enclosure surrounded by walls and a moat. From the hill above there are panoramic views of the lakes and their islands, the twin hills to the southeast known as the Paps (2,248ft/685m), Mangerton Mountain and Carrantuohill (3,360ft/1,024m) to the southwest.
Tomies Wood
A charming walk is through Tomies Wood (there and back about 4.5mi/7km). Here, on the west side of the Lower Lake, few people are usually encountered, although the views of the lake district are most impressive.
Highlights: |
Kerry Woollen Mills
The mills, 9mi/14km from Killarney on the Killorglin Road (R562) date from as far back as the 17th C. The excellent soft water of the nearby river is used for washing the dyeing the cloth. The full range of woolen manufacturing is still carried out.
Pan Celtic Week
This annual festival takes place in mid-May and includes daily events celebrating the Celtic culture. Traditional dancing, music and sport, along with a pipe band competition are the highlights of the festival.
Killarney Model Railway
Killarney Model Railway is over 1000 sq. ft. with over 50 trains that transport the visitor through landmarks of Europe.

There's also a Voluntary Ranger led guided walk to Latrigg on Tuesday 22nd as well.
It starts at the Moot Hall in Keswick, then goes along the railway footpath and through Brundholme Woods and then up onto Latrigg. The view from Latrigg, overlooking Derwent Water, has to be one of the best views in the Lakes.
Please be aware that the guided walks that you have listed, as well as the Latrigg one, state that appropriate footwear is essential - which means for these walks that you must wear boots. I know that a lot of people, including myself, don't wear boots on some walks, but the walks have been risk assessed by the LDNPA, so the walk leaders have to abide by the rules. There is a very good chance, that you will not be allowed on the walk, if you don't wear boots.

Modern Talking - I'm Not Guilty
Really?! :shock:
I'm shocked! But,in a very positive way... :wink:
I'm a very big Modern Talking fan,and I'm very happy when I see that there are more people which love their songs!
It's a nice song with ATB influence,and I'm guessing that that is the only reason for you to listen to it...
Hehe, well I like Modern Talking actually. My father has an album or two from them, and I got hooked on I'm Not Guilty exactly from there, I think it was from the album Win The Race or so.
But yeah, it's influenced by 9 PM and Don't Stop by ATB, which is great

Are there any dietary recommendations or sources that you can recommend?
Keith Cengel, MD, Radiation Oncologist at Penn Medicine, responds:There are no specific dietary recommendations at this time, although keeping in positive nitrogen balance (i.e. keeping enough calories so that the patient either gains or maintains weight) is critically important. There are many rumors surrounding acid or sugar, based on the fact that tumors are generally acidic and use more sugar than normal tissues. However, this is not new information and was in fact noted by Otto Warburg in the 1920's. Unfortunately, acid or sugar restriction based therapies have been tried with little success over the 90 years since, and they may even cause harm to patients if they result in patients losing weight.
A standard multivitamin is very reasonable, and a healthy and balanced diet is important. One very interesting new approach is that whole ground flax seed in the diet appears to have multiple potential benefits in both normal tissue protection and helping standard therapies work better, and we are currently testing this in clinical trials.

Christina Bach, MSW, LCSW, OSW-C, Oncology Social Worker at Penn Medicine, adds:Nutrition care during cancer treatment is very important. Ask your physician if a referral to a nutritionist is available at your treatment site.
There are also great online resources available from the American Cancer Society, as well as Oncolink and LIVESTRONG. Remember that certain other medical conditions, like diabetes, also impact nutrition counseling during cancer treatment, as well as supplements can be used.

Old Quebec City…UNESCO gem!
Quebec City celebrated its 400th Anniversary in 2008. Capital of the province of Quebec, it is in this unique city where French civilization first took hold in Canada. UNESCO in 1985 designated Quebec City a World Heritage Site. From Carnival — the largest winter carnival in the world — to the Quebec City Summer Festival, there is every reason for the city celebrations to party on!
Quebec City, in Canada's largest province, Quebec, is North America's only walled city with nearly five kilometers of stone walls from 1690. Old Quebec is named after the Algonquin word meaning "where the river narrows". Massive archways and fortification encircle the historic section of Old Quebec City. The only thing old-fashioned about the city is the sense of security in walking the cobblestone streets from the 17th and 18th centuries. The city was built atop a steep rocky bluff overlooking the St. Lawrence River in hopes of dissuading invaders by sea or by land. Even after walled fortification, the city fell in 1759 during the Seven Years' War on the Plains of Abraham where the armies of Montcalm and Wolfe fought to the death. Lord Dufferin, governor general in the 1870s, proclaimed the walls that surround Old Quebec not to be dismantled but retained, cementing to this day the city as one of the world's most popular European-style cultural attractions.
Old Quebec City is divided between Upper Town and Lower Town. Around almost every corner of the narrow streets is a sophisticated sidewalk café and delectable restaurant offering up traditional Quebecois fare. Restaurant L 'Echaude for lunch offers sea scallops, duck and gourmet salads and many more dishes in a stylish French cafe ambiance with a few tables outside where you can watch the many passers-by.
Museums and nightlife coexist in this area. Both areas are serviced by complimentary tourist shuttle buses from some of the hotels, but not throughout the year. Taxi cabs are clean and my experience has been that the drivers are friendly and many speak excellent English. If you're interested in improving your French…hop in a cab and explore the possibilities of language and Old Quebec on the colourful streets and in the unique dining spots.
Another way to access both Upper Town and Lower Town is to take a ride on the funicular that operates on rails at an angle of 45 degrees between the two street levels. To get to the funicular in Lower Town use the 16, rue du Petit-Champlain entrance—near Place-Royale. Place Royale is the oldest historical district dating from the 17th and 18th centuries.
This area eventually leads to the historic Port area where luxury cruise ships and ocean liners such as the Queen Mary 2 hole up on the St. Lawrence. The Musee de la Civilization has an open rooftop garden ideal for both adults and children to do a bit of digging in the dirt. The free bus shuttle stops at the front door.
In the Old Port area is where you'll see the Titanic: The Artifact Exhibition at Espace each day from 10:am to 9:pm until August 22, 2010. You may wish to buy a ticket to the Titanic exhibition as early as possible. The ferry to Levis is here in the port district, too. The ferry takes about five minutes to travel from Old Quebec City to Levis. On the other side you'll find a tiny outdoor one-armed joint to get great poutine — French fries and fresh cheese curd smothered in brown gravy.
In Upper Town, the entrance to the funiculaire is on the Dufferin Terrace overlooking the St. Lawrence River near the Fairmont Le Chateau Frontenac. The Fairmont Le Chateau Frontenac offers one of the best vantage points for viewing the St. Lawrence. Certain sections of ground near the hotel are under archeological excavation with free tours offered. There is a lot of space in and around the Fairmont to get a good sense of location. Don't forget to get an ice cream and stock up on pure maple syrup and purchase perfect gift items.
One of the best examples of a fortification archway is from St-Louis Gate in Upper Town. Spectacular views of the St. Lawrence River may be viewed along the paths from the ramparts. You can tour the ramparts, too. Behind the fortification is the recreation of Quebec's 400-year history. Porte St. Jean dates to 1694 and rebuilt in 1939 due to unstable stone. Both archways have been rebuilt. Museums offer multimedia exhibitions, artifacts, historical monuments, live interpretative centers and a model city built to scale. If you want to see how the military high brass enjoyed their meals you'll see a beautiful dining room table set with lovely china, silver and glass. The morning I toured the fortification freshly baked bread samples were offered. The aroma was delicious. The Citadelle du Quebec is close to the St-Louis Gate area and offers guided tours. This area offers an old French powder magazine (1750) and a former military prison (1840) and changing of the guard daily from June 24 to September. http://bit.ly/NacFJD
Historic Quebec City
A great place to make home base for a self-guided walking tour is hotel Manoir Victoria
in Upper Town; it's about a ten minute stroll along narrow, café-lined streets to the St-Louis Gate. The tourist shuttle bus is just across the street from hotel Manoir Victoria. Take a horse-drawn carriage through the St-Louis Gate if you prefer. The area around the hotel is perfect for long walks up and down gently sloping streets, shopping, restaurants, and sightseeing. Befitting an historic city, the hotel dates from the early 1830's. Millions of dollars have been spent in renovations. In the spacious lobby you'll see large armoires, plush leather sofas, paintings on high-ceiling walls and an out-of-the way backstreet entrance to Le Saint-James bistro open until 1: am weekends. The hotel has indoor parking, fine dining, business centre, spa, indoor pool and sauna, free wireless high speed Internet access in the room, and what I like best— room service. I enjoyed in the hotel's dining room a Quebec-style breakfast…maple-syrup infused pork and beans, luscious fresh fruits and local cheeses, croissants piled high, eggs to order, and bacon and sausages. But the famous Quebec maple syrup is the prize of the lot. The area is quiet, ideal for family visits, solo travelers, and honeymooners. Jean-Lesage International Airport is 13 kilometres. Bike trails offer exciting views within the city along the waterfront in the port district; but, if you want to travel outside the city there are easy-access bike trails to rural areas where you'll find the Montmorency Falls with a gondola to the top of the falls (restaurant at the top) – all within a 40-minute bike ride from Old Quebec City.
June to September for the next four years (last free showing, June 23 – Sept. 1, 2013) The Image Mill visual projection performance takes hold of the Port area in Lower Town once night falls. The free performance set to avant-garde music against a canvas of towering cement silos on the waterfront is the brainchild of artist extraordinaire Robert Lepage and Ex Machina. A ten minute bus ride from the Port area to the trendy Saint Roch district is the Cirque du Soleil street performance held Wednesday to Sunday evenings throughout the summer until the 6th of September. Special adaptations will be presented over the next three summers especially designed for Quebec City. The performance is a colossal extravaganza of costumed street performers heralded by sound effects and lights as they make their way throughout the streets beneath the Dufferin Montmorencyhighway underpass to a huge outdoor stage. Children and adults gather on a grassy knoll to watch the 60 to 90-minute spectacle. I was spellbound for the entire performance and still marvel that the show is absolutely free. It's going to be fabulous in 2012! Check it out. www.quebecregion.com Venue change for 2013 free outdoor concerts.
Hotel Pur
– a contemporary boutique hotel ten minutes' walk from Dufferin Montmorency — is ideal for taking in the Cirque show. Conde Nast Traveller listed Pur in their 2009 Hot List. This place is full of twenty-something travellers, the neighbourhood trendy and full of affordable and hip restaurants, lively cafes, shopping, a movie house, and public bus stop around the corner from the hotel. Contemporary minimalistic-styled room, free Internet in the hotel lobby and free gourmet coffee from a high-tech machine to serve your java just the way you like it – 24-7! I enjoyed gourmet French pastry, fresh fruits, croissant, cheeses and delicious coffee bedside for breakfast before hitting the fitness centre with pool. Hotel Pur is my idea of a great spot for a girlfriend's getaway because its location is close to many of the best attractions. If you like oysters and martinis try Versa Restaurant at 432 rue du Parvis west, almost around the corner from the hotel.
Old Quebec City is truly a remarkable city—and walkable. Quebec architects made use of their fine sense of line and appreciation of the city's founding fathers in modern application for heritage buildings. People live, work and enjoy life in the old quarter and welcome visitors with open arms. Permanent and travelling exhibitions in the city's large and small museums you will see nowhere else make a visit to Old Quebec City a cherished lesson in history.
Montreal, Quebec
The city of Montreal, Quebec – once known by its Iroquoian 16th century name Hochelaga or "beaver dam", is a few hours' drive by automobile from Quebec City, or simply sit back and enjoy the passing view while travelling VIA Rail train service. Explorer Jacques Cartier arrived in the fall of 1535 on his journey to survey the new world. One or two days in each city makes for a wonderful cultural experience. The Fairmont Queen Elizabeth hotel is adjacent the VIA and AMTRK train station in Montreal. Use the Bonaventure Metro station. I find this glamorous hotel ideal for a quick shopping/sightseeing sojourn in the city. One of my favourite beauty lines is carried by the hotel and in all rooms: Miller Harris, London, England. The hotel was made famous yet again when John Lennon of Beatles fame and Yoko Ono held their "bed in" demonstration. You can sleep in the very room. Everything is at your fingertips when at the Fairmont, from award winning casual and fine dining, and the 50,000 square feet of meeting space, to the spa with indoor pool facilities. And when you walk out the front door of the Fairmont Queen Elizabeth you are in the heart of the city. Walk in any direction and you'll come up against fascinating little corners of intrigue, from churches, to award winning office towers to bustling cafes and underground shopping emporiums. The hotel has a four Green Keys Eco rating, and is the 2010 Sustainable Grand Prix Quebec Tourism Award winner.
Horse-drawn carriage / Old Montreal / Historic Port District
I walked from my hotel – Fairmont The Queen Elizabeth – along Rene-Levesque Blvd West through the downtown business section uphill towards Mount Royal and McGill University. In September when I visited the area was full of excitement with students finding their way around the university grounds perhaps for the first time. After McGill I walked to Sherbrooke Street West, a major cross street where you'll find small art galleries and cafes. The area around Sherbrooke Street West is known as the Golden Triangle. The Montreal Museum of Fine Arts http://bit.ly/Rq0A8N is on Sherbrooke Street, about a fifteen-minute walk from hotel Sofitel. I had a quick pedicure towards the end of the day at Spa-Eastman's
city location before visiting various churches and museums. It felt so good to have my tired feet massaged after walking all day. Tip: the view of downtown Montreal and Mount Royal from Spa-Eastman's high floor is fabulous. The Montreal Museum of Fine Arts is on Sherbrooke Street West. Hotel Sofitel http://bit.ly/RpYZQd is on historic Sherbrooke Street West and is a ten minute walk past art galleries and cafes to the museum/art gallery. Until August 29, 2010 there is the story of how Cirque du Soleil inspired the House of Boucheron to create a collection of luxury jewellery. The McCord Museum of Canadian History is just down the street at 690 Sherbrooke Street West from Spa-Eastman. Dream Weavers reveals the costumes of Cirque du Soleil until October 11, 2010. At the end of the day fill up on oysters and wine at Liverpool House adjacent to the Atwater Market (fresh produce farmer's market) on Notre-Dame Street where Mercedes and Audi luxury automobiles and the odd scooter jockey for space amongst antique shops. Chefs David McMillan and Frédéric Morin also own Joe Beef on the same street. Check out their award-winning cookery book, The Art of Living According to Joe Beef. You cannot set foot in Montreal and not pull up a stool in Schwartz's smoked meat parlor (deli for those of you who are traditionalists) for a Reuben sandwich. All pies, both fruit, vegetable but especially pork pies are worth the wait in line to purchase…whether you're in Old Quebec City at the farmer's outdoor market (marché du Vieux-Port de Quebec) down in the Port district of Old Quebec City or in Montreal. Magnifique!

Burt's Bees is a trusted name in our home and I'm so excited that they've expanded their eco-conscious products and launched Burt's Bees Baby! We received a couple products from the new line to try out. Timing couldn't have been better since we recently welcomed James into our bitty family.
Snuggle Me Hooded Towel and Mitt Set
This is my favorite bath towel set for James. The hooded towel and washing mitt are made of 100% organic cotton velour – so incredibly soft and gentle on his very sensitive newborn skin. He seems to love bath time, especially when he's snuggled up in his towel. I love the wearable washing mitt. It makes cleaning him easy. And the embroidered honey bee detail on the hood is so sweet. The Snuggle Me set is priced at $29 and comes in two colors: natural and cloud.
Washtime Tin
Includes a set of three organic cotton terry washcloths and a bottle of fragrance free Baby Bee shampoo & wash.
These super soft washcloths are perfect for bath time, obviously, but I stash them in our diaper bag for on the go use as well. The honey bee gift tin is reuseable, too! At only $10, this is a perfectly practical and affordable gift for baby!
We've been using these items for every one of James' baths! I love each product and can't wait to see what else is up Burt's Bees Baby's sleeves… To start, they are focusing on newborn essentials {like products for bath time, skincare, and gift sets} and organic apparel. And as time goes on, new products will roll out for lifestyle and home. I can't wait to see the whole line of products when they are released!
Use promo code BBBSAVE15 to save 15% on your purchase at Burt's Bees Baby {valid now through midnight October 22nd}. Products also sold online at BabysRUs.com and BuyBuyBaby.com as well as both in stores and online at Target. To keep up to date on the newest products, feel free to connect with Burt's Bees Baby on Facebook and Twitter.

If you really want to have a "whale" of a good time when you visit Maine, be sure to hop aboard one of the dozens of coastal cruising vessels dedicated to tracking down these majestic creatures. Whale watching season runs from as early as mid-April to October as they spend time feeding as close as 20 miles off the Maine coast on their way to warmer climes.
The rich and productive waters of the Gulf of Maine provide an important feeding ground to whales. During the summer there are whale watching trips that head out from Kittery to Eastport and Bar Harbor, and all points in between, in search of the largest animals on earth. Common whale species that can be sighted from these trips include: Humpback, Finback, Minke, Right, Pilot and also white-sided dolphins and harbor porpoise. Most whales arrive back in Maine waters in April and May and then stay through October and November. They are here to feed on small fish, squid or animal plankton like krill and copepods. It is important for them to eat a lot, sometimes 2,000 to 4,000 pounds per day, to build up a thick layer of blubber to sustain them during the winter, when many of them migrate south and go with less or in some cases no food.
"You can look for whales, eagles, seals, porpoises, herring weirs and salmon pens," says skipper Butch Harris of Eastport Windjammers. Harris and his family have been guiding family-friendly whale watching trips for more than 40 years. A commercial fisherman during the off-season, he also takes guests on sunset cruises, fishing expeditions and bird-watching adventures. "Bring a picnic lunch and extra clothing," Harris advises, "because it may become cool on the open deck." Binoculars and cameras also are a must. "The pictures you'll take will be worth more than a thousand words."
Humpback whales are certainly a highlight as they have many exciting behaviors including breaching, spy-hopping, lobe-tailing, and flipper flapping. On one of our trips we had a Humpback Whale named Flicker breach 56 times in a row! Many of the whales seen each year are recognize by distinctive color patterns on the underside of each tail and scaring and shape unique to each Fluke (whale's tail). The ability to tell humpback whales apart was discovered right here in Maine by the whale research group Allied Whale at College of the Atlantic. They maintain a research station at Mount desert rock, a 3.5 acre lighthouse island twenty five miles offshore, and the North Atlantic Humpback Whale Catalogue. This Catalogue presently holds over 6,000 different humpback tails and 10's of thousands of pictures.
Harris, who can take up to 88 people per trip out to sea aboard his 118-foot schooner the Ada C. Lore, says even without a whale siting his cruises are popular. "You can still see plenty of wildlife," he notes. "There's always something to see." Not spotting at least one whale—and sometimes up to five—is rare, though. "We have a success rate of 95-98 percent," says Harris, who enjoys the cruises as much as his passengers.
"I like the reactions in people who've never seen a whale before," he says. "I've seen everything from people crying to jumping up and down on the deck."
So don't forget to include whale watching on your list of "things to do" while visiting Maine. This is one of the best places in the world to see a great variety of whales and to see them feeding at the surface and chasing fish out of the water.

Echocardiography uses sound waves (ultrasound) to make images of the heart. In transesophageal echocardiography, the ultrasound probe is passed down the throat in the esophagus, or food pipe. The esophagus sits very close to the heart. This method allows for clearer images of the heart than other methods.
Reasons for Procedure
This test is done to look for problems of the heart, including:
- Enlarged heart
- Thickening of the heart walls
- Heart valve malfunction
- Infection
- Blood clots
- Other conditions
Possible Complications
Complications are rare, but no procedure is completely free of risk. You will be given light sedation for the procedure. Your doctor will review a list of possible complications, which may include:
- Difficulty breathing
- Abnormal heart rhythms
- Bleeding or damage to the throat or esophagus
You may be at higher risk for complications if you:
- Have throat problems
- Had radiation therapy to the throat
- Have a history of stomach ulcers or esophageal varices
- Have strictures or narrowing of the esophagus
- Have sleep apnea or severe respiratory disorders (eg, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease )
What to Expect
Prior to Procedure
- Avoid alcohol for several days before the procedure. Alcohol may interfere with the type of sedative used.
- Do not eat or drink for 4-8 hours before the procedure.
You will be given a mild sedative through an IV. You will be sleepy throughout the procedure. A topical anesthetic may also be applied to the back of the throat. This will numb the throat.
Description of the Procedure
You will be asked to lie on your side in a hospital gown. The ultrasound probe will be slid down your throat and into the esophagus until it is near the heart. The device will create active images of the heart. When the imaging is done, the probe will be taken out.
How Long Will It Take?
15-30 minutes
Will It Hurt?
There may be some mild discomfort during the procedure. Most patients sleep through the procedure and remember very little of it. Your throat may be sore for a few days.
Post-procedure Care
You will need a ride home from the procedure. Do not eat or drink until the numbness in your throat wears off. This will keep you from inhaling food or drink into the lungs. Be sure to follow your doctor's instructions.
Talk to your doctor about the results of the test.
Call Your Doctor
After arriving home, contact your doctor if any of the following occurs:
- Sore throat does not subside or worsens
- Pain in the throat or chest develops
- Difficulty breathing
In case of an emergency, call for medical help right away.

Daimler sees flat 2013 profit after 10% fall last year
Fourth-quarter earnings up 6.7% on sale of stake in Airbus parent
Zetsche targets 2 billion euros in spending cuts at Mercedes. |

FRANKFURT (Bloomberg) -- Daimler forecast unchanged 2013 profit as spending for new models and a revamp of the automaker's operations eat into earnings.
Earnings before interest and taxes in 2012 from ongoing business fell 10 percent to 8.1 billion euros ($11 billion), the automaker said today. Profit on this basis in 2013 will be on the same level as last year, Daimler said.
"We did not reach our own targets for earnings and profitability" in 2012, CEO Dieter Zetsche said in a statement. "To ensure that our future growth is even more profitable, we have implemented detailed measures in all divisions."
Daimler said fourth-quarter Ebit rose 6.7 percent to 2.32 billion euros. Earnings were pushed up by a 709 million-euro gain from selling a 7.5 percent stake in EADS, the parent company of planemaker Airbus.
Zetsche announced an efficiency program in September dubbed "Fit for Leadership," with a goal to cut 2 billion euros from spending at Mercedes by the end of 2014.
The Daimler Trucks unit, the world's biggest maker of heavy vehicles, plans to cut 2,100 jobs, including 1,300 factory positions in North America.
Daimler is spending 10.8 billion euros in the next two year on research and development. Mercedes is rolling out a reworked version of its E-class sedan this year, adding the four-door CLA coupe to its compact-car line-up and selling the next generation of its high-end S-class in the second half.
Daimler had forecast last year's Ebit from ongoing business "in the magnitude" of 2011's level as recently as July before revising down the target to about 8 billion euros in October. The automaker said today it's proposing to keep the dividend at 2.20 euros per share.
In October, Daimler abandoned its 2013 target date for operating profit at the Mercedes carmaking operation to reach 10 percent of sales. It said at the time that the margin can be reached in 2014 at the earliest, at least four years later than originally planned.
Mercedes cars margin drops
Daimler forecast revenue gains in the next two years after posting an increase last year of 7.3 percent to 114.3 billion euros. Daimler plans to increase Mercedes car sales in 2013 and 2014. The Mercedes brand is targeting deliveries of 1.6 million cars and SUVs by 2015.
The passenger-car unit's 2012 operating margin sank to 7.1 percent of sales from 9 percent a year ago, Daimler said today.
Zetsche, whose contract may be extended for five years this month, has vowed by the end of the decade to retake the global luxury-car sales lead that Mercedes lost to BMW in 2005. His strategy to narrow the sales gap with BMW and Audi, which has ranked second in worldwide luxury-car sales since 2011, includes becoming more competitive in China. Mercedes' sales growth in the country lagged behind its two competitors last year, prompting the carmaker to combine sales organizations for imported and locally produced vehicles in the market into one entity.
Daimler plans to buy a 12 percent stake in Beijing Automotive Group Co.'s auto division, which is preparing for an initial public offering by the end of this year or early in 2014. Mercedes and BAIC, as the Chinese company is known, already operate factories together making the German brand's C- and E- class sedans and GLK sport-utility vehicle.

PRINCESS ELIZABETH CHALLENGE, HENLEY by David Bareford Edition of 250 Image Size: 24" x 18" Signed & Numbered Giclee on Canvas ARTIST BIOGRAPHY "Lush color harmonies and a sumptuous palette" describes the work of painter David Bareford. Born and raised in New Jersey, Bareford moved to New England after graduation from college. Fascinated by the watercolor medium as a student, he achieved success early in the exhibitions held by organizations such as the American Watercolor Society, the National Academy of Design and the Allied Artists of America.Cape Ann, Massachusetts is the home of two famous art colonies, many nationally known artists, and occupies a prominent place in art history. Compelled by a desire to live near the ocean, Bareford moved to Rockport, Massachusetts in 1971. Soon a member of the Rockport Art Association, Bareford's painting flourished in this atmosphere. Eventually, he turned his attention from watercolor to oil painting, wanting to paint without the restrictions inherent in watercolor. His paintings are distinctive for the rich use of color and his ability to "capture the moment." Moved by the subjects that interest him, he strives for continuing excellence.Mr. Bareford has achieved international recognition for the large catalog of rowing paintings he has produced over the years. An elected member of many professional art organizations, Bareford is a Fellow of the American Society of Marine Artists. He is included in important corporate and private collections throughout the United States, Canada, and abroad. He has completed many commissions for corporate clients and private individuals.

Things to Do in Campbell River
Recommended Things to Do by Groupon Customers
Discovery West Aviation's commercially licensed pilots sail passengers through the air on charters, private lessons, and tours above urban and rural areas sprawling out toward the horizon. In private flight or commercially based lessons, flight instructors put students at the controls of Cessna C-172 or C-150 planes, explaining flight basics before teaching their protégés how to hide from gravity. During charters, professionals take the helm of the winged craft to soar over sites such as downtown Victoria with its watery inlets and architectural outcroppings or high above the banks of Campbell River with its snowy mountain peaks and views of eagles slicing through neighbouring clouds. Discovery West recently purchased Island Pacific Flight Academy, acquiring some of their fleet as well as a greater understanding of avian sign language.
U.B. Diving's founder Sean Smyrichinsky and his team of experienced scuba divers create scenes of underwater adventure every day from their fully stocked shop and on-site dive school. Their scuba charter boat, equipped with hot showers and a heated cabin, travels to areas such as Chrome Island or Flora Islet so divers can frolic with giant octopi and six-gill sharks beneath the water's surface. A PADI Master Scuba Diver Trainer, Sean also teaches classes that grant novices their first dive into open waters, taking the most committed students to Dive Master levels or preparing ocean walkers for careers as ambassadors to Atlantis. Additionally, Sean and his crew rent out gear by the day and contract themselves out for deep diving and wreck exploration through their commercial division.

Feds: Health care agency in Lincolnwood paid $400K in Medicare kickbacks
Updated: August 22, 2012 2:19PM
CHICAGO — The owners of a north suburban home health care agency paid and received $400,000 in kickbacks for Medicare patient referrals totaling $5 million, federal prosecutors alleged Monday.
Marilyn Maravilla and Junjee L. Arroyo, part owners of Goodwill Home Healthcare Inc. in Lincolnwood, were each charged with conspiracy to pay and receive illegal kickbacks for Medicare patient referrals, and numerous counts of violating the anti-kickback statute, federal prosecutors announced.
Maravilla, Arroyo, a third owner and an employee paid kickbacks to nurses, marketers and home health care workers for referring patients to Goodwill for services reimbursed by Medicare between August 2008 and July 2010, according to the U.S. Attorney's Office.
Payments ranged from $400 to $700 for each new care cycle, and $100 to $300 for each recertification, the indictment charges. During the nearly two-year period, Goodwill received 900 home health care cycles that included new patients and recertification of existing patients for additional 60-day cycles of care.
Maravilla and Arroyo allegedly created a company memo establishing a structure for kickbacks for patient recertifications disguised as bonuses in January 2009, the indictment alleges. Nurses would receive a $100 bonus for recertifying a patient for a third cycle, and $200 for readmitting a discharged patient a month after the discharge date.
To make payments in cash, Maravilla and Arroyo obtained Goodwill checks payable to them and recorded on the agency's books as loans, the indictment said. They allegedly cashed the checks and used the funds to pay kickbacks to marketers.
The indictment alleges they paid Ferdinand Echavia, a licensed nurse who referred patients, $28,000 in kickbacks, and paid $56,000 to a company owned and controlled by Echavia, the indictment said. Maravilla and Arroyo also allegedly paid $10,400 in kickbacks to Jean Holloway, and $21,500 to Rakeshkumar Shah, both of whom marketed Goodwill's services to Medicare patients. The two owners also are charged with paying $20,000 in kickbacks to two other marketers and $58,000 to at least three other nurses who were not charged.
Maravilla allegedly received $138,000 in kickbacks for patient referrals and Arroyo $44,000 for patients that either he or his wife referred to Goodwill, the indictment said. Maravilla began working as a nurse at Goodwill in August 2008 and during the next two months became an owner and administrator. Arroyo was an owner and the director of nursing.
Echavia, a licensed nurse, was also indicted along with Holloway and Shah.
The 29-count indictment was returned by a federal grand jury Aug. 9 and unsealed Friday after the arrests of Holloway, 41, of Bellwood; and Shah, 46, of Des Plaines. Both were released on bond after pleading not guilty in U.S. District Court.
Maravilla, 55, of Chicago; Arroyo, 44, of Elmhurst; and Echavia, 39, of Chicago, all licensed nurses, together with Goodwill as a corporate defendant, are scheduled to be arraigned Aug. 22.
Conspiracy and each count of violating the anti-kickback statute carry a maximum penalty of five years in prison and a $250,000 fine.

I never took a PFT when I mobilized. I've heard of units doing a PFT for whatever reason. But the unit I'm with currently did not.
OEF Vet
I could be mistaken, but I don't believe the new standards out yet. Here is an article by the Army Times http://www.armytimes.com/news/2011/0...ew-pt-030411w/.
I think this may be a case of something being lost as the information is passed along. They may have done it as a "test unit" or something, but there isn't anything official out yet.
VANG:1997- Current
RSP NCO: Jan 07-Apr 12
Operation Noble Eagle
There are positive and negative aspects,
Rower, good overall abdominal test, plus no straain on the neck. Still would have preferred crunches.
Sprints, good agility and reaction time test.
Standing long jump, good core strength test.
Pushups, does not test ones endurance strength.
Mile and a half run, again not an endurance test (prefer the Marines 3 mile run).

Still doing the same ole PT test over here.

What is a PT test? We do those in the National Guard?
Just wanted to point out that under current regs there is no requirement to do an APFT while deployed.
Cool beans.
I just couldnt figure out why I had to take a PT test in October, passed.. and then turn around early 2012 when I mob, and take another one...
You got it!
New PT test
More than 10,000 soldiers took a new physical training test in 2011, and you are likely to follow suit when the test becomes official in late 2012.
This will mark the first changes to the PT test since its inception in 1980. Officials are finalizing the details, but the new test will likely include:
A 60-yard shuttle run.
A two-minute rower.
A standing long jump.
Dead-hang pull-ups.
A two-mile run.
Initial tests had a one-minute rower, push-ups instead of pull-ups and a 1½-mile run. Data collection and soldier input drove leadership to make the test tougher.
The Army is likely to add full body armor to the Army Combat Readiness Test, as well.
The ACRT incorporates sprinting, climbing drills and other high-intensity exercises that mimic the challenges soldiers face in combat. It kicks off with a 400-meter run with a weapon. This segues into an obstacle course with low hurdles, high crawls and over-under obstacles to test individual movement techniques. Soldiers then do a 40-yard casualty drag, followed by a 40-yard run with ammo cans atop a balance beam. Next comes point, aim and move drills, followed by a 100-yard ammo can shuttle sprint. The ACRT wraps up with a 100-yard agility sprint.
The problem with quoting someone on the Internet is you never know if it's legit - Abraham Lincoln
Looks like they have changed it again from the last time I took it. Wonder how they plan on grading the pull ups, rower and 2 mile run. Originally we were told that part of the reason they picked the exercises/times/distances was to make them gender neutral and that both males and females would be scored the same.
TAC Officer
I guess I will train for both.
I like the pullups over the pushups and the rowers over the situps.
From what we were being told the points for some exercises would get easier for males (rower, push ups) and some would get harder for females (both run events). I am wondering if that mentality will continue on with the new test or if they will have separate grading scales.
TAC Officer
Any links to the data given here?
It's been changed to a 2 mile run again?
I took my PT test (not the new one) today at 0530; passed tape and I am good now until I get back from deployment.

Where can i go to take the PT test online....
epic facepalm.
"I repeat the question is not about my army values or anything but legal matters."
- Should never have been said.
I saw your other post too so I'm going to assume that this post just came out miss-worded and you understand that you can't take a physical fitness test online.
To answer your other post. You don't take a PT test to join, you just need to meet weight requirements. You wouldn't take your first PT test until 1-1-1 at RSP after you join.
Find a recruiter in your area through nationalguard.com and they can explain the basics too you.
I'd have to say that qualifies for a new signature.
