About Cruise Critic Star Ratings
Queen Elizabeth was launched in 2010 as the third ship in Cunard's fleet and a sister to Queen Victoria, which entered service in 2007. Both sisters' hulls are based on a blueprint shared with numerous other vessels in the Carnival Corporation family. Among them are Holland America's Eurodam and Nieuw Amsterdam, P&O Cruises' Arcadia, several of the Costa ships and Carnival Cruise Lines' Spirit-class vessels. So, essentially, Queen Elizabeth is a cruise ship in design, not an ocean liner like Cunard's flagship, Queen Mary 2.
Queen Elizabeth is similar in many ways to its sibling, Queen Victoria -- in most of the layout, cabins and enrichment programs, for example -- but different in others. The decor somehow feels lighter, with chic, geometric Art Deco-inspired interiors, as opposed to the heavier Victoriana.
Everywhere you turn, there's beautiful artwork, rich Italian marble, polished wood and soft light, diffused by glittering chandeliers. The rippling sounds of a harp, mellow piano or string quartet throughout the public areas enhance the whole feeling of old-fashioned glamor.
There's no neon or glitz on this ship, and there are few gimmicks. Instead of capturing the public's imagination with waterslides and high-tech nightclubs, Cunard cashes in on its impressive heritage, a sense of occasion and old-fashioned pursuits like ballroom-dancing, lawn bowls or afternoon tea in the Garden Lounge.
Some spaces differ from those on the near carbon copy of Queen Victoria, partly as an evolution and partly to reflect the famous dining rooms and bars of the original Queens, Mary and Elizabeth.
The Britannia Club, one of four main dining rooms, replaces the Chart Room bar on Queen Victoria, while the Todd English specialty restaurant becomes The Verandah. This restaurant, helmed by Cunard's executive chef, is reminiscent of the glory days of the first Queen Elizabeth and Queen Mary, on which the Verandah Grill was regarded as the finest restaurant at sea. Also new is an AstroTurf-covered Games Deck, dedicated to traditional English garden pursuits. The Midships Bar, another much-loved Cunard feature, is back, as is the Yacht Club nightspot, a lounge fondly remembered by fans of QE2 for its late-night dancing. Despite the fact that Cunard is American-owned, there's no shortage of British icons like a Fortnum & Mason hamper ordering service, Harris Tweed for sale and a sunlit Garden Lounge that's inspired by the glass houses of Kew Gardens.
Extensive use has been made of cream and chocolate marble, as well as polished wood in the public spaces. Every bar or lounge has something beautiful in it, whether it's a piece of intricate wooden marquetry or an evocative painting of a maritime scene. Everywhere you look, there's Cunard memorabilia: a Christmas card from Queen Elizabeth II displayed in a glass case, a solid silver model of QE2 made by the famed London jeweller Asprey and the original bell of the first Queen Elizabeth.
Add these genuinely beautiful surroundings to the glamorous history on which Cunard trades, and you might think you're in for a luxury cruise. But you're not, necessarily. Queen Elizabeth, like the other Cunard ships, operates a class system in which the cabin grade you choose dictates where you eat. Queens Grill and Princess Grill do represent some of the loveliest accommodations and most exclusive dining at sea, which is reflected in the price. But the vast majority of passengers -- 83 percent of them -- are in Britannia-grade cabins, dining in the Britannia Restaurant or the slightly more posh Britannia Club. And what they experience is essentially a product of the Carnival family: food that's OK but not spectacular and the same nickel-and-diming that you'd find on any other big ship (charging for water in cabins and on shore excursions, for example), just in a very smart setting.
Some niggles, for example: In the Lido buffet, at breakfast, the waiters do not help you find a seat or carry your tray or even pour water or fetch tea and coffee. You have to line up at a machine for that. While the Britannia Restaurant is beautiful to look at, we found service to be hurried. And, while some things look very chi-chi and elegant, they're not, particularly. Afternoon tea in the Queens Room was the same scones, sandwiches and not-very-exciting cakes that were on offer in the Lido buffet. There's a fee for the extra posh afternoon tea.
In some areas, the service lacked finesse. We were struggling with a heavy bag, watched by several crewmembers, none of whom offered to help. The ID card scanner broke down as several shore excursions were returning to the ship, but nothing was done to speed up the re-embarkation process; passengers were getting flustered, and the crew didn't seem to care. However fancy the top suites on this ship, and however attentive the service in the Grills, there are still elements of the service in the main public areas of the ship where the crew can't distinguish a suite passenger from an inside cabin passenger, that lower the tone. So, while you may have paid for a luxury experience, you could find you only get that real extra touch in certain areas of the ship.
Public Rooms
Queen Elizabeth's public rooms are located all along decks 2 and 3, as well as on the upper decks. The heart of the ship is the three-deck Grand Lobby, which has to be one of the most beautiful at sea with its curving staircases, ravishing marquetry panel by master craftsman David Linley -- nephew of the Queen -- and the extensive use of marble. People pause to look every time they come by this lovely spot.
The 6,000-plus-volume library is there, too, and it's slightly "Hogwarts" with its old-fashioned polished-wood panels and quirky spiral staircase linking the two levels. It's, without doubt, a superb library; the reference section is really impressive. However, you can only take out two books at a time and only when the librarian is present. A focal point is a large geographic globe, and the library's collection includes books in large print.
Deck 3 houses the Royal Arcade, a smarter version of the shops you'll find on other cruise ships, with Fortnum & Mason, Harris Tweed and Anya Hindmarch alongside the jewellery, logowear and duty-free merchandise. We loved the Cunard bookshop, tucked away next to the Midships Bar; it's perfect for gift-shopping, with fun vintage cards, some wonderful nautical books, calendars and memorabilia, as well as a more comical array of titles that include carb-counters, bridge tips and puzzle books.
Also on Deck 3 are two galleries: The Cunarders' Gallery, where you can buy vintage Cunard posters and prints, and the Clarendon Fine Art Gallery, which has changing displays; on our cruise, there was an exhibition of sensuous Latin prints by Fabian Perez and associated talks comparing and contrasting his work with that of U.K. artist Jack Vettriano. It's a nice idea having a proper art gallery instead of a tacky auction display, and artists whose work is featured there join some cruises to give talks. There's a huge photo gallery outside the Britannia dining room. The ship's photographers seemed to be everywhere, but photos were expensive. For example, an 8x10 print cost $24.95.
The Internet centre is on Deck 1, and there are Wi-Fi hotspots throughout the public areas. Internet packages are available from $47.95 for 120 minutes, and pay-as-you-go is $0.75 per minute. Other facilities include a medical centre, three meeting rooms and five passenger launderettes.
There are 1,046 cabins onboard Queen Elizabeth. Eighty-five percent are outside, and of those, 71 percent have balconies. Inside cabins (standard and deluxe) range from 152 to 243 square feet, outsides from 180 to 197 square feet and balcony cabins from 228 to 352 square feet. The decor is calming and serene with shades of gold, green and brown, and there's plenty of storage, both under the beds and in the wardrobes; the under-the-bed drawers were added after complaints about lack of storage on Queen Victoria.
The biggest disappointments in the design of standard staterooms are the bathrooms. (Again, this applies to insides, outsides and verandahs.) They're stingy in size, shower-only (including a clingy shower curtain) and dreary in decor (everything is beige). They're also not very well designed; the little bottles of Gilchrist & Soames shampoo and conditioner don't fit properly on the soap dish holder and kept falling off, as did the soap. Towels were small, too. We used the pool towels supplied in our cabin for the duration of our cruise.
Another gripe, particularly for women, is that the hair dryer is fixed inside a drawer of the dressing table/desk. You need to keep the drawer open to operate it and the cord isn't particularly long. A higher powered plug-in hair dryer would be much better.
All cabins have flat-screen TVs with more than 40 channels, including movies in French, German and Spanish, as well as in-house channels on which the port and enrichment lectures are rerun. Our balcony cabin had a mini-bar stocked with sodas and mineral water, which cost $3.50 for a large bottle.
Princess Grill suites (335 to 345 square feet) are essentially elongated versions of the standard verandahs; the balconies are roughly the same size. Beyond larger living areas, there's also more closet space, and the bathrooms have full-size tubs and very pretty tiling that renders them charming -- one of the touches that makes the difference between standard and luxury.
The Queens Grill suites (595 to 671 square feet) are scattered around the ship, either aft, with views of the wake, or in the bulge midships, where the balconies are deeper. Deck 7, in addition to several Queens Grill penthouses (508 to 596 square feet), has the biggest concentration of top suites -- two Grand Suites (1,375 square feet) and two of the four Master Suites (1,493 square feet), which include features like huge balconies, whirlpool baths and separate dining areas. These six suites are named after the half-dozen Cunard Commodores who have been knighted: Commodore Sir Arthur Rostron, Commodore Sir Edgar Britten, Commodore Sir Cyril Illingworth, Commodore Sir James Bisset, Commodore Sir Ivan Thompson and Commodore Sir James Charles. If you want a bath with a sea view, go for one of the Master Suites. For a wraparound balcony, outdoor dining and reclining steamer loungers, choose the Grand Suites, the top category on the ship.
The onboard currency is the U.S. dollar. Cunard recommends $11 per person, per day, for Britannia-grade cabins and $13 per person, per day, for Grills. Fifteen percent service is added to all drinks and spa treatments, and there's a line left blank on the receipt for the extra tip. The daily gratuities are added automatically onto your onboard account.
Queen Elizabeth is perfectly family-friendly in terms of facilities, but it does have the look and feel of a really "grown up" ship, and families might be happier on lines like P&O or Princess. Having said that, there's a colourful children's playroom with toys on the starboard side of Deck 10. The Zone, a teenagers' room with computer games, Wii, Xbox and air hockey, is on the opposite side of the youngsters' domain. Both areas feature outdoor deck space, as well. The facility operates on port days, but you have to book for younger kids in advance. The few youngsters spotted on our cruise seemed perfectly happy and at ease in the surroundings and clearly loved dressing up on the formal nights, but you get the impression that if any children started letting off steam and running around, there'd be "looks" and tut-tutting from old-school cruisers.
Fellow Passengers
Who sails on Queen Elizabeth depends on where the ship is going. Ex-Southampton cruises inevitably attract a lot of Brits. The handful of mini-cruises that operate every year are a big chance for first-timers to try Cunard and attract a more economically diverse crowd than usual. The annual world cruise draws a mixture from all over the globe, although there are large numbers of well-heeled Americans and Brits. Shorter voyages also attract Americans and Brits, but Cunard's ships are very successful in the Japanese and German markets, as well. Everybody who sails has a fascination with the great Cunard name, whether they're die-hard Cunard regulars (and this brand inspires a lot of loyalty) or those who have heard about the ships and are curious to try them. It can lead to a nice cosmopolitan mix; on a two-week Black Sea itinerary, 43 different nationalities were onboard.
Dress Code
In April 2013, Cunard altered its long-standing three-tiered dress code of elegant casual, semi-formal and formal to simply informal and formal. Although the move upset many purists who say dressing up to the nines is an integral part of the Cunard experience, the cruise line said the change reflected growing travel trends toward more casual attire. Cruises typically have two formal nights per week (just one on the mini-cruise). The dress code comes into play at 6 p.m. On informal nights, men should wear a jacket, but no tie is required, and ladies may opt for a dress, skirt or trousers. No jeans or shorts are allowed. There is no limit to the glamor on formal nights. People make a big effort to dress up, with lots of long dresses; this is the time to bring out your finest jewels and ball gowns. On the world cruise, big money is obvious, and wardrobe planning is essential. For passengers who don't want to don their best attire, the nightly dinner buffet in The Lido has a casual and relaxed dress code, although shorts are not permitted after 6 p.m. (To avoid any wardrobe malfunctions, the daily program reminds passengers of each evening's dress code.)
During the day, stylish casual wear, including smart jeans and shorts, is fine onboard. Swimsuits, sarongs and gym wear are allowed pool-side, on deck and in the spa and fitness center, but passengers must be covered up in any other areas of the ship.
Fitness and Recreation
The Royal Spa on Deck 9 is run by the ubiquitous Steiner Leisure. It's an extensive and peaceful space, if something of a rabbit warren. An area called the Royal Bath House includes the Thermal Suite and a proper indoor thalassotherapy pool; it costs $35 for a day-pass. There are also various other facilities, including three couples' treatment rooms, a beauty salon and a Wellness Centre for seminars, of which there were many, geared to selling treatments in the spa.
The gym itself is state-of-the-art, and there's a studio area for classes -- about four a day, half of them free. We did "Tour de Cycle," aka spinning, which cost $12 for 40 minutes, but it was a fun and satisfying workout. We also had two treatments and were pleasantly surprised by the lack of sales-speak from the therapists; they couldn't have been nicer, in fact. Prices are pretty much in line with other ships' spas: $125 for a 50-minute facial and $119 for a full-body Swedish massage. There are quite a few shorter treatments, too, which are a good idea for spa virgins: a 30-minute facial for $80, a 30-minute massage for $90 or a taster session of three mini-treatments for $129. A gratuity of 12.5 percent is added to all bills. Incidentally, it's made quite clear that there will be discounts on port days, so if you're wavering about what to try, hang out for the price reductions.
Queen Elizabeth offers some unusual and enjoyable fitness pursuits. Fencing lessons are held in the Queens Room at no charge, while there's a fine wraparound promenade deck for jogging and walking. The covered Games Deck is high up on Deck 11, with paddle tennis, short bowls and croquet. There are two pools on Deck 9: the Pavilion Pool, midship, and the aft Lido Pool, which is surrounded by a huge sunbathing area and serves as the venue for sailaway parties. Each pool has its own bar and two Jacuzzis.

6 Product Reviews
Questions and Answers
Got a question about the 2013 Easton Convert: YB13CT Youth? Ask our team of experts, and they will respond within 24 hours.
Ask A QuestionWhat size do you recommend for my son? He's 8, about 4' 5" and weighs about 95 lbs. He likes his bat to have a little weight on the end. Would this be the correct bat for him?
The 2013 Easton Convert: YB13CT Youth is a balanced bat. The 2013 Easton XL2: YB13X2 Youth is similar in design to the Convert, with an alloy barrel and composite handle, but the XL2 has the end loaded feel your son likes. Based on his size, we recommend a 30".
What is the difference in the 2013 Convert and 2012 Convert?
Easton did not make any changes to the 2013 Easton Convert: YB13CT Youth except for the color.
Did the Convert take the place of the Easton Surge? And how much better of a bat is the Easton Convert over an Easton Reflex? For an 8 yr old who weighs 55 lbs, which length and weight ratio would be best for him?
The 2013 Easton S2: YB13S2 Youth replaced the Easton Surge. The 2013 Easton Convert: YB13CT and the 2013 Easton Reflex: YB13RX use the same 7050 alloy. The only difference is the Easton Reflex is a one-piece bat and the Easton Convert is a two-piece bat. We recommend a 29" 17 oz. 2013 Easton Convert: YB13CT Youth.
Product Description
New for 2013! There's a certain standard of quality that people know they're getting with an Easton bat. That's why this year's models feature the Easton name even more prominently than the name of the bat itself. When fielders see you out there with your Easton bat, they'll know they better take a step back. The Easton Convert is very appropriately named, as it has converted countless players to Easton. The Convert is not the kind of bat that you see everyday for under $100. Its two-piece hybrid construction features Easton's patented ConneXion Technology for optimized feel at impact while maximizing energy transfer. The barrel of the Convert is made from Easton's high-strength 7050 Aircraft Alloy. This material not only provides great durability, but fantastic pop as well. The barrel is also extended to accommodate Easton's massive sweet spot technology that provides hitters with a huge effective hitting area. The extended alloy barrel is connected to a composite handle that's designed ultra-thin at 29/32" and is wrapped with a Pro Tack grip for an excellent feel that promotes solid bat control. Get this bat and get CONVERTED! Easton: Know-Feel-Be The Difference! The Convert is approved for play in Little League, Babe Ruth, Dixie, Pony, AABC, and features the new USSSA 1.15 BPF Stamp. It is backed by a Full Twelve (12) Month Manufacturer's Warranty. Free Shipping!

Whether your loved one follows a quick and easy skin care routine or spends a significant amount of time treating the skin, you can find many suitable gifts. A complete skin care regimen gives anyone the tools to truly pamper the skin every day.

Skin care tools and cleaning systems can deeply cleanse skin, reducing oil, eliminating breakouts, and ridding the skin of dry patches. The result is clearer, healthier skin, perhaps the greatest gift of all.

Using Social Media in Academic Practice: A Student-led Training Initiative
Practice No. 1191
Last modified: 04/11/2010 15:11:32
Institution: University of Nottingham
The Social Media sessions demonstrated a successful integration of a student-led initiative within a formal graduate training provision. The initiative underlined the importance of engaging PhD students in their own learning and training needs, in both sharing expertise with peers and in contributing to their own professional development. In doing so, it demonstrated to other postgraduate researchers how they might utilise their own areas of expertise to develop further student-led initiatives.

These Asian inspired meatballs combine sesame oil, soy sauce with cilantro and scallions. The dipping sauce has a wonderful tangy lime flavor mixed with sesame and scallions.
I prefer the 93% lean turkey here because I find the 99% fat free comes out dry but completely up to you what you want to use. Serve this over udon noodles or fried brown rice.
For a fun appetizer, make them half the size and served them with toothpicks. Super easy to make in less than 30 minutes. I found this recipe on What Did You Eat? and modified it using ingredients I had on hand.

Portland - Rangeley
Begin in Portland, a place that native son Henry Wadsworth Longfellow called his "jewel by the sea." Most people who are familiar with this gem of a city agree that his 19th-century sentiment still rings true today. As one of the Northeast's most sophisticated small cities, Portland pulses with a delightfully vibrant urban atmosphere, yet retains all the warmth and charm of a close-knit community.
Per capita, Portland is said to be home to more places to dine than any other American city, save San Francisco; the caliber of the fare to be found here has been noted in Bon Appétit, Travel & Leisure and Wine Spectator. Portland also maintains a thriving arts tradition, evidenced in its many galleries, theater and dance companies, performance halls and museums.
A walk through the Arts District lining historic Congress Street rewards you with access to many of these arts venues. Prominent in this streetscape is the Portland Museum of Art, a landmark I.M. Pei-designed building, which houses one of the most revered collections of art in the Northeast. The museum hosts exciting exhibitions and programs that showcase the work of artists including Mary Cassatt, Andrew Wyeth, Edgar Degas, Pablo Picasso and Pierrre-Auguste Renoir. Of special note is a body of 19 significant works by Winslow Homer.
The Portland Performing Arts Center's elegant theater seats just 290 people, but has earned a reputation for the wonderful performances it hosts. It is home to the Ram Island Dance Company, a notable modern dance troupe.
New on the Portland Arts scene but already making a huge impact is the Center for Cultural Exchange, which hosts diverse and lively musical performances and events, featuring artists from all over the world. The newly-renovated 1913 Merrill Auditorium has also taken center stage in the recent past; it has hosted entertainers as diverse as Lyle Lovett, Taj Mahal, Itzhak Perlman and STOMP, and a Boston Globe opera critic deemed it "drop-dead gorgeous." Beautifully appointed with vaulted ceilings, balconies, elaborate ornamentation and a massive 5,000 pipe Kotzchmar Organ, the auditorium is well worth a visit - preferably when the resident Portland Symphony Orchestra is giving one of its celebrated performances.
Built on a peninsula, Portland is bounded by island-studded Casco Bay, placid Back Cove and the Fore River; such geographic constraints led to the happy solution of building the city up rather than out. The resulting urban landscape consists of tall and stately brick, granite and brownstone buildings in an array of 19th-century architectural styles. Portland is wonderful city to explore on foot; Greater Portland Landmarks offers walking tour maps of the city's four main historic districts.
The breadth of things to see and do in Portland warrants a stay one of the number of inns and hotels in the city proper. On the Portland "must-do" list is shopping and dining in the brick-and-cobblestone Old Port District; taking a scenic ferry ride to one of the Casco Bay Islands; visiting the highly regarded Portland Museum of Art and the adjacent Children's Museum of Maine; and touring the incredibly ornate, Italianate Victoria Mansion.
From Portland, head south on Route 77 to South Portland, where the Spring Point Light rests on a breakwater adjacent to the Portland Harbor Museum - which features as its centerpiece the bow of America's last clipper ship, the Snow Squall. This 157-foot beauty was left to rot in South America in 1864, but portions of the vessel were recently recovered and are being restored at the museum.
Further south on 77 is Fort Williams Park, offering heart-stopping views of the sea and access to world-famous Portland Headlight. Commissioned by George Washington in 1791, this light enjoys a long and fascinating history, and has spawned its fair share of legends. A local favorite dates to the early 1900s, when the lighthouse-keeper's parrot (who reportedly cursed like a pirate) acted as a barometer, telling the keeper to turn the light on when a storm was approaching. Henry Wadsworth Longfellow also visited the light frequently, and is said to have penned some of his poetry here. Learn more about this landmark beacon at the museum housed in the former lighthouse-keeper's quarters.
A few miles south on Route 77 are two beautiful sandy beaches at Crescent Beach State Park and Scarborough Beach State Park - stop to soak up some sun and frolic in the surf. Continue on 77 to 207, where you can take a side trip to Prouts Neck, home of revered painter, Winslow Homer. An unmarked trail beginning at Winslow Homer Road (ask for directions at the nearby inn) winds along the cliffs where the artist was often inspired.
Head back to Route 77 and continue to Route 9; take 9 to Route 22. From here, take Route 22 east back to Portland. Head north on Route 295 to the shopping mecca of Freeport, home to legendary L.L. Bean and a multitude of other brand-name outlet stores.
Continue north on Route 1 to Brunswick, where you can roam the grounds of Bowdoin College and take in a show at the celebrated Maine State Music Theater. Exploring Maine Street is a great way to spend an afternoon - boutiques, galleries and historic homes line the wide avenue. At the top of the Village Green is the First Parish Church, where it is said that Harriet Beecher Stowe first conceived of Uncle Tom's Cabin.
Also of interest is the home of Joshua L. Chamberlain, a Bowdoin College professor who, with no prior battle experience, went on to become one of the Civil War's most influential generals. After reportedly having several horses shot out from under him in battle, he became the Union hero at the Battle of Little Round Top, and later carried out the ceremonial duty of accepting the Confederate surrender at Appamatox. His home on Maine Street is maintained by the local historical society, and is open for tours.
After visiting Brunswick, take 196 west to Lewiston. Once an industrial center, the city has experienced a dramatic resurgence, having recently been named one of the 100 Best Small Arts Towns in America. Enjoy the Bates Dance Festival (mid-July through mid-August), celebrating some of the world's foremost performers in music and dance. The Great Falls Balloon Festival (August 16-18), one of New England's largest balloon festivals, is also not to be missed. While in Lewiston, take a tour of the Bates College Museum of Art, where a body of work by revered artist and Lewiston native Marsden Hartley is at the centerpiece of its collection.
Cross the bridge to Auburn, and continue north on Route 4 to Livermore and the amazing Norlands Living History Center. Located on the grounds of a 19th-century farm, this 455-acre complex is made up of a one-room schoolhouse, granite library, church , barn and an impressive Italianate-style mansion. Visit for a few hours or a few days to experience rural life as it was in the Victorian age - members of the Center's staff dress, talk and live as a 19th-century farming family, and invite visitors to do the same.
Continue north on 4 to Wilton, then pick up Route 27 north to Farmington. This lovely town's historic district is made up of over 100 fine buildings dating from the 1700s to the mid-20th century, and is worth exploring. Among Farmington's renowned is Chester Greenwood, who, in 1872, earned dubious fame by inventing the earmuff. Farmington is also the birthplace of celebrated 19th-century opera diva Lillan Nordica. The Nordica Homestead houses artifacts from her days touring the stages of the world, including original costumes and gifts from admirers like the Empress of China and Diamond Jim Brady.
Route 27 north continues to the quaint mountainside village of Kingfield, where you can enjoy a fabulous meal and a wonderful antique-filled room at the old-fashioned hotel in the town center. Make sure to visit the Stanley Museum, which honors the ingenuity of the Kingfield-born Stanley family (inventors of the Stanley Steam Car and the airbrush).
Head north on 27 to Carabassett Valley and the Sugarloaf/USA resort. This destination is perhaps best known for being one of the finest ski areas in the East, but also offers a wealth of things to do in summer. While staying at the resort's hotel or one of its condominiums, play a round of golf at Sugarloaf's 18-hole championship golf course, designed by Robert Trent Jones Jr. and rated one of America's 10 most scenic courses. Or, catch a glimpse of a moose on one of the resort's "Moose Safaris." Sugarloaf also offers summer adventure opportunities for hikers and bikers.
From Carabassett Valley, travel north on 27 to Stratton and hike the Bigelow Mountain Range Trail to scenic Cranberry Peak. Head to Eustis north on 27 along the Arnold Trail, taking note of the historical markers along the way describing the route of Benedict Arnold's army as it traveled through the region in 1775. In Eustis, enjoy sweeping views of Flagstaff Lake and the Chain of Ponds from the Eustis Ridge picnic area. Return to Stratton, keeping an eye out for the majestic Cathedral Pines lining the route 3 miles north of town.
Head west on Route 16 to Rangeley, where the area's 112 lakes and ponds create a 450-square-mile swimming, fishing and boating paradise. Its unique landscape has made it a popular destination for over a century; a stay in one of the area's cottages, inns, motels, B&B's, grand old lodges, or sporting camps will be rewarded with a generations-old brand of hospitality. Be prepared for hearty meals and unsurpassed views of the region from your room. While in Rangeley, enjoy one of the area's excellent hikes, or visit the Rangeley Lakes Historical Society to learn more about its proud heritage.
From Rangeley, head west on Route 4/16 to Oquossoc, then south on Route 17, stopping at the scenic "Height O'Land" just north of Rumford. You'll know it when you see it - the view of the area's lakes and mountains from the rise is unmistakably beautiful. Also, keep an eye out for the excellent antique shops that line the road.
From Rumford, take 108 east/south to Canton, then take 140 to Buckfield. Take 117 east to Route 124; take 124 south to West Minot and Mechanic Falls. Head on 11 south to Poland, where the famous Poland Springs once drew people from all over the world to enjoy their "healing powers."
Today, the springs' waters are bottled for drinking, but you can reminisce about the area's days as a major resort by visiting the State of Maine Building on the grounds of the once-grand Poland Springs Hotel. Originally built for the 1893 World's Fair, this charming stone building was then dismantled, shipped to Maine, and re-constructed as the Hotel's library. The Hotel, sadly, burned in the 1970s, but the library's collection of artifacts and photographs chronicles the old Hotel's colorful history.
Continue south on Route 26 to New Gloucester, where the nation's last surviving Shaker community sits amidst a beautiful pastoral landscape. Settled in 1793, the village consists of several handsome buildings, and can be explored via tours that are offered every day except Sunday.
Head south on Route 26 to Gray, then continue on 26/100 through Cumberland and West Falmouth back to Portland.

Spasmodic dysphonia (SD) is a voice disorder. It occurs when the muscles of the throat freeze or go into spasms. Words are strangled and strained or they don't get out at all. Sounds are also distorted.
Main types of SD include:
- Adductor spasmodic dysphonia—spasms cause muscles to stiffen and close
- Abductor spasmodic dysphonia—spasms cause muscles to spastically open
- Mixed spasmodic dysphonia
The exact causes of SD are unknown. It is labeled as a disorder of the central nervous system. The areas of the brain that control these muscle movements are deep within the brain.
Risk Factors
Factors increase your chance of developing SD include:
- Degenerative brain diseases such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis
- Another movement disorder such as tardive dyskinesia
- Family history of SD—In some families, a gene on chromosome 9 may be connected to SD.
- Brain infection such as encephalitis
- Exposure to toxins or certain medications such as phenothiazines
- Gender: female
- Age: between 30-50
Symptoms of SD include:
- Squeaky, strained speech
- No speech at all
- Speech with the wrong pitch and tone
- Breaks in speech
- Breathy voice
Your doctor will ask about your symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done.
Images may be taken of your bodily structures. This can be done with:
Your doctor may refer you to a team of specialists, including:
- Neurologist—to evaluate your brain function
- Speech pathologist—to evaluate your speech and how it's produced
- Otolaryngologist—to evaluate your vocal cords
Talk with your doctor about the best treatment plan for you. Treatment options include the following:
- Medication—to increase dopamine, a chemical in the brain that influences muscle movement
- Speech therapy techniques—to relax muscles
- Brain stimulation—to prevent muscles from freezing and going into spasm
- Counseling—to help deal with the condition
- Surgery in severe cases—to cut or remove a nerve that is connected to the vocal cords

Local News from WIKY
New liquor store may open near Glenwood Academy
Submitted by WIKY News on Thu, 10/24/2013 - 9:24am
The state reverses a decision, and clears the way for a new, Liquor Locker to open at Riverside and Bedford, close to the Glenwood Leadership Academy. The Indiana Alcohol & Tobacco Commission approved the transfer of a license, that would allow a replacement for what had been an Apollo Liquors store that recently closed. The Vanderburgh County Alcohol Board voted last month to deny the transfer, after hearing from area residents, who said the old store attracted problems that included underage drinking, prostitution, panhandling, and burglary.
First forum on new IU Medical School-EVV campus held
Submitted by WIKY News on Wed, 10/23/2013 - 4:32pm
Local universities are telling IU officials how much space they'll need on the planned new IU Medical School Campus. That's what Dr. Steven Becker told about 60 persons at a public meeting Wednesday at Deaconess Gateway. The director and associate dean of the IU School of Medicine-Evansville was one of the speakers at the first public forum regarding the campus. They delivered a few other new nuggets of information and answered questions. The presentation came just blocks from a proposed site for the campus, across the Lloyd Expressway along I-164.
Camm jury gets another look at evidence
Submitted by WIKY News on Wed, 10/23/2013 - 4:31pm
Neither the state nor the defense objects when a jury asks to take a closer look at the t-shirt that David Camm was wearing the day his wife and two young children were killed. The shirt is a key piece of evidence in Camm's third murder trial. The state says it was splattered with blood when he killed his family in their southern Indiana garage. The defense disputes the claim. The judge granted the jury's request to study the shirt and more than 20 other pieces of evidence. The case went to the jury Tuesday night. The jury requested the new look at evidence today.
Woman in jail claims self defense in stabbing of husband
Submitted by WIKY News on Wed, 10/23/2013 - 4:30pm
An Evansville woman is accused of attacking her husband with a knife and a baseball bat in their home in the 3000 block of Crossbow Lane. 35-year old Stephanie Cruce is being held on charges of battery with a knife and domestic violence in the presence of a child. Her husband 39-year old Benjamin Cruce is being treated at St. Mary's Medical Center for multiple stab wounds. Deputies say he was found at the end of a large trail of blood in their house. They say she told them she was only defending herself when she swang the knife at her husband and didn't mean to slash him.

Hi Yo Silver! NOT!
Submitted by WIKY News on Tue, 10/22/2013 - 2:58pm

PPG, the leading supplier of automotive paints says 25 percent of the vehicles it supplied in the 2013 model year were white. Silver and black tied for second. PPG says automakers are scouting colors for the 2016 and 2017 model years, and the company predicts jewel-like colors such as rich greens and deep purples will be popular.

School chief sues state education board

More fallout from former State School Supt. Tony's Bennett's A-to-F school ratings system. The State's Superintendent of Public Instruction, Glenda Ritz, is suing the state board of education. Her suit filed in Marion Circuit Court names all 10 members of the board. It accuses them of violating the state's public meeting laws when they bypassed her last week to get data for A-to-F school ratings. Ritz says the board members failed to publish a public meeting notice as required by the law.

A couple of years ago I wrote about how my beer stein had become a bottle warmer.
days, but I don't miss being tired all the time, and forgetting my name. Still, I think the stein appreciates being used for what it was intended to be used for, and that is containing beer.�
Anyone else have a favorite beer mug, or one that can, and does only hold one type of beer?

The principal task of electronic engine management is coordination of all parameters through continuous process control in order to assure economical and ecological engine operation. The parameters controlled include ignition timing, the amount of fuel injected, injection timing and exhaust gas recirculation, as well as throttle plate position, variable intake manifold positions, turbine geometry (on engines with turbocharger) and the camshaft settings (on spark-ignition engines). In order to perform these tasks, the electronic engine management system also monitors the engine speed, engine temperature, fuel grade (via knock sensor) and accelerator pedal position. Deviations from normal operation are stored with corresponding information in the system memory.

The new epMotion 5070 Workstation enables fast and reproducible dispensings by way of pipetting, dispensing and other dispensing variants. Extensive previous skills or long training are not necessary.
Sequences previously carried out manually can now be transferred easily and quickly to the epMotion 5070 Workstation. Tried and true pipetting procedure routines have been maintained. As a result of this great similarity to manual pipettes and to the familiar manual work method, a move to the automatic version is eased considerably. Familiar techniques can be quickly and easily transferred to the epMotion 5070.
Operation takes place over the keyboard of the connected Control Panel. The connected mouse enables free movement of the cursor over the integrated screen. An almost intuitive operation with greater flexibility in the application is made possible as a result. The user is led step by step through the software and prompted to carry out the necessary actions. The blocking of valuable lab surface is also avoided by doing without operation over the PC.
All of the following steps take place fully automatically following the insertion of the dispensing tool: The dispensing tool attaches the pipette tip, the liquid to be isolated is taken up from a supply and dispensed into one or more target tubes. Normally the dispensing is concluded following the ejection of the pipette tip. Optical sensors control and guarantee the reliability of the procedure:
• Testing of liquid quantities
• Testing of the existing pipette tip type with the programming
• Testing of the existing tubes with the programming
The epMotion 5070 Workstation enables quick filling of plates with, for example, buffer in the 384-well scale. It is also possible to equip a MTP 384-well from other formats (e.g. 4 x MTP 96-well).
Applications include:
- Plug'n'Prep® nucleic acid extraction
- Real-time PCR set-up
- Cell maintenance and cell based assays
- Clinical diagnostics & research
- Chemical and material research
- and all routine pipetting tasks

Shadia Abu Khusa survived an Israeli airstrike. But the fierce hit blew off the roof and cracked the facade of his home just north of Gaza City. Now he and his family are searching for a place to rent while they repair the damage.
They hope the peace will hold.
Read more: Timeline: Israel-Gaza conflict
"God willing," Abu Khusa said, "it will last 100 years, 200 years, for the sake of our children."
Abu Khusa and other civilians, both Palestinian and Israeli, are trying to regain a semblance of normalcy after Israel and Hamas forces traded fire in a fierce eight-day conflict.
People in the region and across the world hope the normalcy becomes contagious, even though for now, anxiety pervades the battle-weary street.
"With a cease-fire in place, Israel and Hamas should put the well-being of civilians on both sides front and center," said Joe Stork, deputy Middle East director at Human Rights Watch.
More than 160 Palestinians died in the exchange of fire, most of whom were civilians. At least six Israelis died, civilians and soldiers. Hundreds of people have been injured.
In Gaza, a man who identified himself as Salah and his family want stability and peace.
When the bombs began falling in Gaza, Salah took his family and fled their home for what he hoped were safer environs.
Now, with the cease-fire taking hold, he packed his car to begin the journey back to Gaza City.
"We hope this is the beginning of a better time," Salah said. "Not a time of war."
Salah's comments followed a day of pronouncements Thursday by the Israeli and Hamas governments, with each side claiming the advantage in the cease-fire.
As Palestinian fishermen returned to the sea and shopkeepers reopened their shuttered businesses, on the other side of the border Israel began withdrawing troops it had deployed as a threat of a ground invasion.
The troops were part of the Pillar of Defense offensive last week, launched to halt the daily rocket fire from Gaza into southern Israel.
Many in Israel's south near Gaza fear a resumption of missile fire.
Near Sderot, one of the southern Israeli towns long hammered by Palestinian militants, flatbed trucks were loaded with tanks and armored personnel carriers.
It was not a comforting sign for residents who have lived under the constant fear of militant rocket attacks from Gaza.
Schools remain closed in portions of southern Israel as a matter of precaution.
"The result is not very desirable, and it's not a cease-fire," one resident told a reporter on Thursday.
The resident, who was not identified, said "shell fire" could be heard in the distance.
"I don't like this result, and I believe the fight will break out again in one or two months."
Another resident said he was disappointed and angry with the outcome of the Israeli military campaign.
His opinion reflects a new poll in Israel that says 49% of the citizenry wanted the government to continue the military operation. The number of Israeli Jews who favored the cease-fire stood at 31%, the Maariv and Maagar Mohot Polling Institute said.
"We should launch ground attacks in Gaza to solve the problem in one stroke. No matter how long it takes. We are actually ready in both troops and morale, but now all the hopes come to nothing," the resident said.

Every woman needs multiple pairs of pantyhose in her hosiery wardrobe. Women's pantyhose are a great way to get a smooth and silky look under dresses, skirts, suits and various other items in your closet. Hosiery of today is not your mother's pantyhose of long ago. These days, pantyhose are made from luxurious fabrics, come in a myriad of skin tone matching shades, and have a lightweight barely-there fit. Many brands of legwear have incredible shaping capabilities like SPANX, whose In-Power line provides moderate control and slimming for the tummy, hips, and rear. Other hosiery brands like Donna Karan, Calvin Klein, and Hanes have control-top styles that offer solutions to the dreaded tummy bulge. Women's pantyhose do not have to be simple and reserved for the workplace. There are many fashion-forward designs from luxury brands like Wolford and Givenchy that are perfect for special occasions and your most daring fashion looks. There is no need to forfeit your pantyhose when you are expecting because brands like SPANX have designed maternity pantyhose to accommodate the needs of a pregnant woman's changing shape. Whether you wear them every day or once in a while, having the right pair of pantyhose will make a big difference in how you look and feel.

This is a surgery to remove all or part of the stomach.
Reasons for Procedure
Gastrectomy is most often done to treat stomach cancer. It is currently the only way to cure stomach cancer. The use of chemotherapy and radiation after surgery may help improve survival. Even if the cancer is too advanced to be cured, gastrectomy can help to prevent bleeding, obstruction, and pain.
In addition to treating stomach cancer, this surgery may also be done to treat:
- Ulcer disease
- Bleeding
- Inflammation
- Benign tumors in the stomach
Possible Complications
If you are planning to have gastrectomy, your doctor will review a list of possible complications, which may include:
- Damage to nearby organs
- Leaking from the new connection between the stomach, intestine, and/or esophagus
- Infection
- Bleeding
- Hernia formation at the incision site
- Blood clots
- Reaction to anesthesia
Factors that may increase the risk of complications include:
Be sure to discuss these risks with your doctor before the procedure.
What to Expect
Prior to Procedure
Your doctor may do the following:
- Physical exam
- Blood tests
- Fecal occult blood test (FOBT)—a test to check for blood in the stool
- Endoscopy—a procedure that uses a scope with a camera on the end to examine the gastrointestinal system
- Upper GI series—a series of x-rays of the esophagus, stomach, and intestine during and after drinking a barium solution
- CT scan—a type of x-ray that uses a computer to make pictures of structures inside the body
Leading up to your procedure:
Talk to your doctor about your medicines. You may be asked to stop taking some medicines up to one week before the procedure, like:
- Anti-inflammatory drugs (such as aspirin)
- Blood thinners, like clopidogrel (Plavix) or warfarin (Coumadin)
Your doctor may recommend:
- Eating a special diet
- Taking antibiotics
- Showering the night before your surgery using antibacterial soap
- Arrange to have someone drive you to and from the hospital. Also, arrange for someone to help you at home.
- Eat a light meal the night before the surgery. Do not eat or drink anything after midnight.
General anesthesia will be used. It will block any pain and keep you asleep through the surgery. It is given through an IV in your hand or arm.
Description of the Procedure
The doctor will make an incision in your abdomen. Next, she will use surgical instruments to remove all or part of your stomach. If only part of your stomach is removed, it is called partial gastrectomy. With this type of surgery, the doctor will connect the remaining part of your stomach to your esophagus and small intestine. If this is done for ulcer disease, the nerves that control acid production may also be cut. If all of your stomach is removed, it is called total gastrectomy. The doctor will attempt to make a new "stomach" using your intestinal tissue. The end of your esophagus will be attached to your small intestine.
If you have stomach cancer, the doctor will likely remove and examine lymph nodes as well. This is because cancer can spread through your lymphatic system.
After the surgery is complete, the doctor will close the muscles and skin of the abdomen with stitches or staples. Lastly, she will apply a dressing.
How Long Will It Take?
1-3 hours (or longer)
How Much Will It Hurt?
You will have pain during recovery. Ask your doctor about medicine to help with the pain.
Average Hospital Stay
This surgery is done in a hospital setting. The usual length of stay is 6-12 days. Your doctor may choose to keep you longer if complications arise.
Post-procedure Care
Your doctor will give you guidelines on:
- When and what you can eat
- How you need to restrict your activity
Ask your doctor about when it is safe to shower, bathe, or soak in water.
During the first few days after surgery, you may be restricted from eating. As your stomach stretches during recovery, you will be able to eat more at a time. If you had a total gastrectomy, you will need to eat smaller amounts of foods more often.
After surgery, you may experience:
- Frequent heartburn
- Abdominal pain
- Vitamin deficiencies
To treat these symptoms, your doctor will:
- Prescribe medicines and vitamin supplements
- Make changes in your diet
Be sure to follow your doctor's instructions.
Call Your Doctor
After you leave the hospital, contact your doctor if any of the following occurs:
- Signs of infection, including fever and chills
- Redness, swelling, increasing pain, excessive bleeding, or any discharge from the incision site
- Nausea and/or vomiting that you cannot control with the medicines you were given after surgery, or which persist for more than two days after discharge from the hospital
- Pain that you cannot control with the medicines you have been given
- Pain and/or swelling in your feet, calves, or legs
- Pain, burning, urgency or frequency of urination, or persistent bleeding in the urine
- Cough, shortness of breath, or chest pain
- Swelling and/or pain in your legs, calves, or feet
In case of an emergency, call for medical help right away.
