Cute spring sweater
I have this sweater in cobalt. The color is as shown here. This sweater differs slightly from the striped version in that it is a full, fine-gauge knit and not the looser, crinkle knit of the striped sweaters. The fit is snug, so size up if you prefer a loose fit. The drape neck is a little weird but not unmanageable.

◊About UsAbout Us Seeking a higher education on Maui will lead you to the doorstep of this fine college, an integral part of the University of Hawaii system. Established in 1966 to serve the local island community, Maui College has expanded its vision globally and graduated students from all walks of life. Mission
History University of Hawaii Maui College serves the educational needs of residents of the The College is an outgrowth of the Maui Vocational School established in
1931. In 1958 the Department of Public Instruction authorized the name
change to Maui Technical School, denoting an upgrade of vocational
education to a technical level. In 1964, the Hawai'i State Legislature
enacted the Community College Act establishing a statewide community
college system under the University of Hawai'i. Maui Technical School
was incorporated into this system on July 1, 1965, and transferred from
jurisdiction of the Department of Education to the University of
In 1966, the Board of Regents of the University of Hawai'i authorized the College to confer the Associate in Arts and the Associate in Science degrees and approved the name change to Maui Community College, effective July 1, 1966. In September 1967, the first lower division transfer courses were offered. Up until 2009 Maui Community College was one of seven community colleges in the University of Hawai'i System and part of a ten campus University of Hawai'i System. In Spring of 2010, the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC) Accreditation Board approved the name change from Maui Community College to University of Hawaii Maui College. The name change provides a more accurate reflection of the college's three baccalaureate degrees. Maui College networked faculty to terminals connected to a DEC VAX Computer and established the first higher education cable television channel delivering instruction to its tri-isle service area in 1983. By 1988, the college constructed a tri-isle interactive television system. With the completion of Ka'a'ike Instructional Telecommunications facility in 2001, Maui College opened its television and audio studios, digital media and electronic and computer engineering technology labs, and seven interactive TV classrooms. The college additionally began a National Center of Excellence for High Performance Computing applying personal computer cluster solutions to problems requiring high speed processing. In Fall 2003, Maui College opened its culinary arts facility and began it Maui Oral Health Center in Kahului. In the summer of 2005, the World Hula Conference and, in summer of 2006, the IX Islands of the World Conference will be held on campus and on Maui. Apartment style housing is available for Maui County students who are not within commuting distance to the Kahului campus. Since 1995 five new classroom and computer lab supporting buildings have been added to the campus: Ka Lama, Ka'a'ike, Kupa'a, Laulima, and Pa'ina. A new 400-bed student housing apartment complex reached completion in 2007 and is located within a mile of the campus. The College encompasses 78 acres at the Kahului site. The student enrollment for the college numbered close to 4,400 students in Spring 2011. |

This week's Origins News Roundup features highlights from a recent conference of evangelical theologians, exciting human fossil finds, tell-tale lice, and a few words from the Pope.
Where is human evolution going? Where has human evolution been? A roundup of stories from the past few weeks.
"For a few moments, it felt like our little church community was surrounded by glory. The wisdom of Christ in the hypothalamus was illumining the wisdom of Christ in the prophets and gospels."
What can a practicing scientist in the 21st century—even a "bench scientist" like me whose scientific forays are confined to a laboratory—glean from a 19th century wanderer like Thoreau?
As I read The Voyage, I often thought about Darwin's other famous work, The Origin of Species, and the delight that Darwin clearly took in the natural world. Writing about a tropical forest in Brazil, he found himself at a loss for words, "…it is not possible to give an adequate idea of the higher feelings of wonder, astonishment, and devotion, which fill and elevate the mind."
Considering my own stance on the satisfying harmony of science and faith, you might be surprised to find on my shelves nearly everything written by Richard Dawkins (including "The God Delusion") and my late friend Christopher Hitchens (including "God Is Not Great"). One must dig deeply into opposing points of view in order to know whether your own position remains defensible. Iron sharpens iron.
How do metaphors impact the dialogue between faith and science? We might start by asking: what are the framing metaphors at work in the current debates? Even using the word "dialogue" here suggests an implicit metaphor that frames my approach to the relationship between faith and science. Imagine substituting "dialogue" with "war;" that would conjure a completely different metaphorical framework.

With so many issues to discuss, Christians can easily get the feeling that science is always attacking the faith. It is essential to balance such conversations with positive responses to God's creation. After all, the primary response to the natural world in the Bible is to praise the God who made it.
The Galápagos Islands were not a distinct "center of creation," but a workshop for evolution in which an ancestral species made it to the yet uncolonized island and underwent a massive degree of speciation to adapt to the environment of the island. This is precisely what one would expect if the species of islands had arisen by evolution.
In our current culture, we're defined by our jobs. It's having a vocation. I wanted to shift away from that. I didn't want to be a doctor first and foremost, or a scientist, but one who praises God.
BioLogos interim web editor Emily Ruppel recently traveled to Boston for the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) conference, where she took an afternoon off from lecture-going to catch up with Doug Lauffenburger, head of the biological engineering department at MIT and a member of the American Scientific Affiliation.
God shows himself not just in the orderliness of nature, but powerfully, joyously and always surprisingly in its beautiful "non-order" as well.
This series by Denis Alexander reflects on advancements in genomics as well as their theological implications. He focuses on the relatedness of hominin genomes, arguing that this does not interfere with the image of God in humans. The image of God depends more on the capacity for relationship and covenant, not on a list of particular physical qualities. He then discusses why the recent studies of genomics provide "no grounds for genetic determinism."
In this series, we reexamine the claim made by Intelligent Design proponent Michael Behe to have found a limit to "Darwinian" evolution in light of recent results from the laboratory of Richard Lenski.
We tend to think of creativity in terms of flashes of insight and brilliance, of novelty, and especially of unexpected things bursting upon the scene. But creativity is no less creative and no less remarkable when it proceeds step by step, according to discipline, according to rule.
The BioLogos Foundation explains to the findings of the Encyclopedia of DNA Elements (ENCODE) project and responds to the claims that its discoveries challenge the theory of evolution, especially regarding so-called "junk DNA".
The song is built around the image of a river flowing through a canyon it has sculpted—an image that can easily be played out as a picture of the way that the Lord has been at work preparing a path for us in the material world, complete with signposts to his former and present activity.

A force limiter in the safety belt system on current Audi models reduces the force applied by the safety belt on the occupant. Above a predetermined belt load, a torsion bar in the retractor deforms or a special seam in the belt webbing tears open. The system pays out belt webbing at this predefined belt load. The maximum shoulder belt load is reduced so that the occupant will be more gently restrained by the belt and airbag and the loadings on the head and chest will also be reduced.

Pro-Hagel group prepares for fight, stands down
Americans for Strategic Leadership headed by former ambassador to Germany
Supporters of Chuck Hagel formed an organization to fight back against attacks directed at the former Republican senator, but for now have decided not to launch a political campaign style defense of the new Secretary of Defense nominee.
The pro-Hagel group, Americans for Strategic Leadership, is headed by former U.S. Ambassador to Germany Richard Burt, who has worked alongside Hagel in several foreign policy capacities, confirmed a source close to the group. A representative with Americans for Strategic Leadership would only speak about the group on the condition of anonymity.
Another source familiar with the organization said Americans for Strategic Leadership is set up as a 501c4, the IRS designation for a tax exempt organization with no fundraising limits or disclosure requirements.
As of now, Americans for Strategic Leadership does not think it needs to defend Hagel, whose nomination will soon be considered by the U.S. Senate, said the source close to the group.
"For now we have decided at this point ... the people who should take the lead are the White House and Pentagon," said the source.
This source also added that he thought the opposition to Hagel's nomination by some conservatives and activists was "unfair."
"Our effort was focused on getting the record straight," said the source close to the group.
But prior to President Barack Obama's nomination of Hagel Monday to succeed current Defense Secretary Leon Panetta, Americans for Strategic Leadership was making calls to help fund the campaign including to leaders in the defense industry, according to the source familiar with the organization.
This source, who also spoke on the condition of anonymity, told CNN one defense industry executive was told last week the nomination was imminent, and the group needed to be prepared to defend Hagel.
The source close to Americans for Strategic Leadership acknowledged that fundraising calls were made, but said the solicitations were not directed at a specific industry, rather than individuals.
"What we did assemble is a list of people I would call the 'foreign policy and national security community,' and some of those may have worked with a defense company," said the source, adding the people contacted knew Hagel.
The source said any money that was raised by the Americans for Strategic Leadership would be returned.

Gibbs: Obama will be more energetic in second debate
President was disappointed in his performance at first debate, adviser says
The unenthusiastic President Barack Obama of the first presidential debate won't be showing up for the second showdown with rival Mitt Romney, one of the president's top advisers promised Sunday.
Robert Gibbs, who said Obama was "disappointed" in his first performance on October 3 in Denver, previewed a more vigorous debater for the upcoming matchup Tuesday night in Hempstead, New York.
"He knew when he walked off that stage, and he also knew as he watched the tape of that debate, that he has to be more energetic," Gibbs said on CNN's "State of the Union." He was speaking with CNN chief political correspondent Candy Crowley, who will moderate Tuesday's debate. "I think you'll see somebody who is very passionate about the choice that our country faces, and putting that choice in front of voters."
Gibbs also shot down reports that Obama ended the first debate believing he had beaten Romney, whom Gibbs ribbed as delivering a "magical and theatrical" performance in Denver.
"For 90 minutes (Romney) walked away from a campaign he had been running for more than six years previous to that," Gibbs claimed, pointing to Romney's remarks on taxes and teachers that struck a more moderate tone than the candidate has expressed on the campaign trail.
Pressed on whether Obama's team should have been expecting that sort of tactic from Romney at the first debate, Gibbs said, "Maybe only Mitt Romney knew that he was going to walk away from his platform."
The upcoming joust on Long Island will feature more robust fact-checking from the president, Gibbs said.
"I think the president will make sure people understand the choice. And certainly if Mitt Romney puts up his hands and says, 'I don't have a $5 trillion tax cut, I don't want to cut taxes on the very wealthy,' absolutely -- I think the president will walk through for voters in that room, that are going to be undecided, exactly what the Romney campaign wants to do and why it's bad for this country," the former White House press secretary said.
Romney adviser Ed Gillespie, also speaking on "State of the Union," said a shift in style wouldn't win Obama any points from an electorate looking at the past four years.
"The president can change his style. He can change his tactics. He can't change his record. He can't change his policies. That's what this election is about," Gillespie said.

- Product From Riveer Environmental
Riveer Environmental of South Haven, MI, plans to install one of its largest and most sophisticated systems yet in December of this year. Commissioned by Anderson Air Force Base in Guam to support aircraft maintenance, Riveer's Birdbath Clear Water Rinse System was designed to prevent corrosion which can be caused by residue buildup on aircraft which fly over or near salt water. Any aircraft stationed near salt water must be clear water rinsed at least once every 15 days, according to Air Force regulations; additionally, if one of these aircraft flies then it must be rinsed after the last flight of the day. At a high-traffic base like Anderson, this necessary procedure can take up a lot of already scarce resources and space. This taxi-through carwash-like system sprays a massive amount of water through eight oscillating water cannons positioned in the four corners of a giant concrete pad. It also has a spray bar which spans the entire platform for cleaning undercarriage and underwing. Operated by a touch screen panel from the air traffic control tower, Birdbath adjusts its spray pattern to accommodate different sizes of aircraft and also compensates for wind speed and direction automatically. All of the pumps, drives and tanks that feed the system are housed underground in order to comply with airfield obstruction regulations. For more information visit

More about Painting Student Artwork
At MICA we believe that painting is at once a traditional pursuit and an open rebellion. The painting department is characterized by its tremendous energy, its reputation, its diversity of offerings, and its high level of dialogue. It is fueled by an excellent faculty, as well as by visiting artists and critics who embody an extraordinary range of opinions and approaches. We share these viewpoints with our students in a studio- and critique-based curriculum that allows for solid training and technical proficiency, as well as independent and personal expression.

Breast Implants
Augmentation mammoplasty, or breast augmentation, is typically performed to enlarge small, underdeveloped breasts or breasts that have decreased in size after a woman has had children. Breast augmentation is accomplished by surgically inserting an implant behind each breast.
Many women consider undergoing breast implant surgery to enhance the size and shape of the natural bustline. Breast implants are also commonly used to restore a breast that has been removed or disfigured as a result of a mastectomy. A feminine body image is important to many women, and that includes the appearance of the breasts. In fact, breast implants come in a variety of sizes, shapes and profiles to achieve a natural-looking physique. Other important features include the texture of an implant's shell and the substance that fills the shell. Implants approved the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) are filled with saline or silicone which impact the look and feel of a breast implant, which affect the overall appearance of your breasts.
Am I a good candidate for breast implants?
- One or more of the following feelings or conditions may indicate that you are a good candidate for breast implants:
- you have a sense of low self-esteem that your breasts are too small
- apparel that fit well around your hips is often too large at the bustline
- you feel self-conscious wearing form-fitting clothing or a swimsuit
- your breasts have decreased in size and lost their firmness after having children
- fluctuation in weight has changed the size and shape of your breasts
- asymmetry exists where one of your breasts is noticeably smaller than the other
Breast Implants Standard Procedure Techniques
Individual factors and personal preferences will help you and your plastic surgeon to determine your appropriate breast size, the location of incisions, and whether breast implants will be placed on top of or underneath the chest muscle.
The size, type, and location of your breast implant may be determined by your goals for breast enhancement, your existing body frame, and mass, your existing breast tissue, and the preferences you and your plastic surgeon discuss.
A patient education video features a real patient who talks about her real breast implant surgery to help you make an informed decision and safely achieve a satisfied outcome. (Video)

While acne is more likely to occur on the face, it is a troublesome skin condition that can occur in other places on the body. Good skincare can help to clear breakouts and prevent future blemishes as well as minimizing the damage that acne creates. However, finding a high performing acne treatment is the swiftest path to blemish-free skin. Today, you can promote an even complexion and reduce the incidence of acne using a wide array of lotions, creams, pads, gels, and treatments.
Daily acne treatments are sold in the form of lotions, creams, and gels. They are designed to offer gentle solutions that normalize oil production, tighten pores, and clear up blemish breakouts. Spot treatments are perfect for clearing up small areas that have become inflamed with acne. Herbal compounds minimize the inflammation that commonly accompanies blemish breakouts.
Correction pads feature double-sided pads that reduce the incidence of blackheads by exfoliating the skin and refining the pores, while exfoliating acne gels and creams clarify the skin through their deep cleansing and purifying capabilities. Multi-functional acne treatments deliver additional skin-friendly capabilities along with acne maintenance. These added abilities may include acting as a primer for makeup or anti-aging benefits that help to minimize the appearance of wrinkles.

About Cruise Critic Star Ratings
Fellow Passengers
Queen Mary 2 attracts a wide range of passengers -- in addition to English, German and French can be heard widely spoken onboard. As a result of its size and truly unusual amenities, QM2 attracts many first-time cruisers (not to mention virgins to the trans-Atlantic circuit). During summer school holidays, there are also more children and teenagers onboard.
Dress Code
A trans-Atlantic cruise is more formal than a cruise in, say, the Caribbean. During the day, people definitely tended towards country club casual. At night, even when it wasn't a formal-designated evening, people dressed anyway. A crossing will typically feature two casual nights, three formal nights and one informal night. The dress for formal evening is a tuxedo or alternatively dark suit for gentlemen and evening gown or other appropriate attire for the ladies. While dress codes are enforced in Britannia and Grill restaurants, passengers can relax a bit when dining in the Kings Court.
Cunard charges a minimum $11 a day to your shipboard account. While making purchases in the bars and lounges, a 15 percent tip is automatically added to your bill -- but, oddly, you have to fill in the total amount (and there's a space for an "extra" gratuity). Treatments in Canyon Ranch SpaClub include tips (12.5 percent), but you can add more there as well.
Public Rooms
Queen Mary 2 differs greatly from regular cruise ships in terms of its layout and public room design. Being one of the longest, widest and tallest passenger ship ever built (it trails only Royal Caribbean's Oasis-class duo), the designers have come up with interesting solutions in terms of traffic flow and public room design. If you don't find today's smaller mega-ships easy to navigate -- well, you may need a little extra time to figure out Queen Mary 2!
There are up to 14 decks of accommodations and public rooms. Most of the public rooms, such as the reception area, the Royal Court Theatre, Illuminations (Planetarium), Britannia Restaurant and the Queens Room (ballroom), are located on Decks 2 and 3. The ceiling height on these decks is awesome -- at 3.8 meters, the equivalent of 1 1/2 decks! Such expansiveness (not to mention fabulous art) contributes to an elegant ambience.
Deck 7 can be described as the ship's daytime/outdoor activity center and it's where you'll find the very popular encircling promenade deck -- complemented by comfortable lounge chairs -- and the Canyon Ranch SpaClub.
There are four different main staircases and these are marked A - D. The ship's daily program (inventively called "Daily Programme") offers, as a convenience, the deck number and stairway for each place of event or public room, so pay attention to this.
Many of the public lounges are in a class of their own on QM2. Queens Room is the largest ballroom on any passenger ship, and also features the largest dance floor afloat. This space is used regularly for horse racing, captain's cocktail parties, afternoon teas and ballroom dancing. All beverage service is taken from tables (there is no bar). Strangely unobtrusive is the ship's two-level disco, G32. It's tucked behind the Queens Room (you actually have to cross through it to get to the disco). Regardless of its tricky location, I have never seen such a popular disco on a ship. It was packed every evening (maybe because of its sleek steel-inspired interior, or -- perhaps more likely -- because passengers heading west on crossings get an extra hour of sleep five evenings in a row!).
Apart from the regular melange of public rooms featured on all cruise ships, QM2 offers a few "extras." Illuminations is the only planetarium at sea, and it is used for lectures, movies and of course planetarium films -- all of which proved to be very popular.
We also loved the huge, well-stocked library (and there are, in addition to terminals in the regular cyber center, a few extra Internet-connected computers here). It has some wonderful nooks and crannies. Adjacent is a fantastic book and souvenir shop, specializing in all things maritime (not limited to QM2); you can buy books, postcards, posters and other collectibles as well as writings by authors and lecturers sailing onboard.
QM2 does not accommodate bridge visits, but it has opened, on a trial basis, a viewing gallery behind the bridge. The facility is open on most (but not all) days, between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m.; only eight people are allowed to enter at the same time.
If you simply enjoy watching the sea -- the white caps and the endless horizon -- venture forward on Deck 2 where there are wide windows (almost at water level). Here you can really appreciate QM2's speed (up to 26 knots).
The best place to enjoy the horizon (and/or sunset) is in the Commodore Club on Deck 8, which offers also piano entertainment during the evening.
Fitness and Recreation
One of the nicest pleasures of a crossing is the luxury of time. And that means time to indulge in spa sessions or exercise. Even with high expectations, I was wowed by its fitness facilities! In Canyon Ranch's first-ever at-sea spa, there are 20,000 square feet of space on two different decks.
The Canyon Ranch SpaClub is divided in three different areas. The Fitness Centre is located foremost of Deck 7 and is fitted with latest gym equipment; each has its own TV. The Fitness Centre is open from 6 a.m. until 8 p.m. daily, and its use is complimentary. However, if you want to use any lockers or showers, you have to buy a SpaClub Passport, costing between $25 (one day) and $79 (five days).
The Beauty & Skin Care Centre is located on Deck 8 and offers lovely sea views as well as treatments. It is open from 9 a.m. until 7 p.m. daily. It is, alas, very popular; on my crossing, for example, a week's worth of pedicures was sold out by departure day. As far as prices are concerned, a woman's designer shampoo/haircut/blow dry starts at $89 (and goes up if you have medium or long hair) and men pay $38. Nail treatments range from $28 (finger or toes polish change) to $140 (full fingernails, pink & white acrylics), and pedicures range from $62 (gentleman's) to $135. Canyon Ranch SpaClub features an expansive Aqua Therapy Centre. To use any or all of these facilities, you can buy a one-, three- or five-day pass, costing between $40 and $95. The use of the center is complimentary with the purchase of any Health & Wellness service, massage or body treatment. The Aqua Therapy Centre is equipped with an aqua therapy pool, a whirlpool, reflexology basin, sensory showers, Finnish sauna, aromatic steam room, herbal sauna and ice fountain.
In the Canyon Ranch SpaClub, all prices include a 12.5 percent gratuity. The therapists also do not try to sell any body care products after the treatment, which is not the case in many other cruise lines' shipboard spas. Another plus? There's also no faux "health" questionnaire that passengers are required to fill out before their first treatment.
Sports facilities include a basketball court and a paddle tennis court on Deck 13 and a single (and sad looking) Ping-Pong table in the Pavilion pool area. The basketball and paddle tennis courts themselves were nice, but being located forward of the deck the place was normally too windy for an enjoyable game. There are also golf simulators, called Fairways, but they were already booked in the beginning of voyage.
Queen Mary 2, and fleetmates Queen Victoria and Queen Elizabeth, are the only ships afloat to assign dining based on a class system. Or, to be more charitable, to assign passengers to dining rooms based on the fares they pay. As such, only the top-priced cabin categories entitle passengers to eat in the ship's most exclusive dining rooms -- Princess Grill and Queens Grill. These restaurants feature anytime seating and menus with more flexibility. At first, access to the Queens Grill Lounge was restricted to diners in that one grill room, but after passengers assigned to the Princess Grill complained, they too were admitted.
Remaining passengers -- and these account for the vast majority -- are assigned to dine in the ship's eye-catching, double-deck Britannia. Breakfast and lunch are open seating; passengers receive set tables and dining times at dinner.
Breakfast is served from 8 until 9:30 a.m., and lunch from noon until 2 p.m. One interesting fact about Queen Mary 2's trans-Atlantic sailings is that the lack of ports (and the subsequent more relaxed approached to dining) means that the restaurant tends to fill quickly for both meals (only the lower level was open). So get there early or late.
At dinner, though this is definitely a mass-dining experience, we were impressed with the overall consistent quality of cuisine (and loved the evening menu's lighter-fare spa choices).
Kings Court serves as Queen Mary 2's lido buffet, but on this vessel the area is located not at the top of the ship but on Deck 7. There are actually four different themed areas in Kings Court: The Carvery, La Piazza, Lotus and Chef's Galley. During breakfast each of the connected venues offers pretty much the usual morning fare. At lunchtime, however, they all focus on their specialties (roasted meats at the Carvery, pasta at La Piazza and Asian-influenced cuisine at Lotus). Kings Court is a vast area (and at lunch can appear crowded); your best bet is to walk around the buffet, get a feel for what's available and find a table. Usually the tables closest to the buffet lines and next to the bay windows fill up first, but if you are willing to walk with your tray a bit more, you can always find a seat. The waiters and waitresses do not offer to carry your trays to the table.
We particularly enjoyed Kings Court at night -- what a transformation! The four different dining areas all get linen table cloths, and there's waiter service. The menus for each stay the same throughout the voyage. Passengers are encouraged to make reservations for this venue, though after numerous telephone attempts (nobody answered), I made an in-person visit to the door an hour before I wanted to dine -- and did succeed. As with casual dining on other lines, passengers eating at La Piazza and the Carvery help themselves to the appetizers from the buffet, while the main course and dessert are served to the table.
The most popular of these alternative dining areas was Lotus, the Asian-fusion place, and deservedly so. Its menu is mouthwatering, including a spicy lobster wonton, crab cakes, duck spring roll, stir fried king prawn and chicken with Singapore noodles.
Kings Court is open every night, and the culinary offerings vary nightly.
Adjacent to Kings Court is the interesting Chef's Galley. The big draw is that there's an open kitchen and you can watch the chef prepare your meal. We'd like to report on our experience there -- but couldn't get in to try it! Although it's open each evening throughout the voyage, you should still make your reservations early to secure a table.
La Piazza is also a great place if you feel peckish between regular meal hours. It serves snack daily from 3 until 6 p.m., and the Carvery serves from 11 p.m. until 5 a.m. Featured is typical fast food fare such as hamburgers, French fries, hot dogs, pasta and pizza.
Todd English is the ship's much ballyhooed alternative restaurant. There is a per-person service charge to eat here of $20 for lunch and $30 for dinner. Advance bookings for dinner are especially crucial.
The lunch was fantastic. I started out thinking I'd order a "light" meal and instead ended up rolling out of the restaurant after a meal consisting of fig and prosciutto flatbread, pan roasted turbot on artichoke polenta, and a huge piece of Thai Iced Coffee Tiramisu for dessert. The dinner menu is mainly the same, but offers a larger selection of appetizers and main courses.
Another popular but completely free alternate dining area is the ship's Golden Lion Pub. It serves authentic pub food from noon until 3 p.m. Sadly, I didn't discover the place until the second to last sea day, and wow -- I loved it. My bangers and mash was among the best lunches I have ever enjoyed on any passenger ship. Other signature dishes include typical pub food such as different pies. You can dine at tables or at the bar.
Two other lunch outlets can be found from Deck 12, namely the Boardwalk Cafe and Pavilion Pool & Bar. While the Boardwalk Cafe is not open during inclement weather, the sliding glass roof in the Pavilion ensures service during any kind of climate. The menu in the Boardwalk is typical of that found on onboard grills while Pavilion serves a limited number of items, such as soups and sandwiches. Don't even attempt to go to Boardwalk Cafe if the weather is windy or rainy, as there is no indoor seating available -- or indoor access to the grill counter.
Afternoon tea is available in three different areas. While Queens Grill Lounge is open only for "premium" guests, Lotus at Kings Court serves a casual self-service afternoon tea. More traditional English afternoon Tea is served daily in the Queens Room, the ship's expansive ballroom. The Winter Garden was originally designed to be the venue, but it was too small. In Queens Room you can enjoy a traditional and more formal "white glove" service, where waiters and waitresses serve tea, finger sandwiches, pastries, and, of course, sconces with clotted cream. Don't miss this opportunity to be pampered.
If you are planning to dine in your cabin, prepare for a slight disappointment. The room service menu consists of simple items, such as salads, sandwiches and pizza. There is no separate dinner menu available (unless you qualify for Princess or Queens Grill).
During the school holidays there are a lot of children onboard. Queen Mary 2 employs nine nannies, which keep children busy during the crossing. There is a dedicated children and teens' area on Deck 6 -- including an outdoor pool area. A children's supper is given nightly in the Chef's Galley from 5 until 6 p.m. (As in England it is called Children's Tea.) And group babysitting is available until midnight.
Queen Mary 2 features a broad range of accommodations, from the most economical 194-square-foot inside cabins to lavish duplex suites. All in all, from a total of 1,310 cabins, 955 are fitted with the private balconies. As a rather unusual feature -- otherwise found only on Royal Caribbean's Voyager-, Freedom- and Oasis-class ships -- there are also 12 cabins looking out onto the atrium.
The largest number of cabins falls into the category of deluxe and premium balcony staterooms. The 248-square-foot (including the balcony) cabins are spread over six decks. They include a sitting area with a sofa, a wardrobe space and a bathroom with a shower. A handful of the cabins have also connecting doors and/or third berth as a single sofa bed. Be careful if booking a cabin with a connecting door, as the soundproofing could have been (much) better.
The desk is rather small, but can accommodate a laptop computer. The corners for both bathroom unit and a wardrobe are rounded which gives a feeling of more space. The wardrobe space itself is ample, and there is also a safe and drawer space. The colors of the cabins are light and airy.
The shower-only bathroom itself is spacious, but there is no light inside the shower, and as there is no shower door (instead a thick curtain), it is rather dark in there.
All cabins on Queen Mary 2 are also equipped with a fridge and interactive TV. Called QM2TV, it features several channels of movies, documentaries and satellite channels. Don't count on following your favorite channels every day as the lack of satellite connection during the crossing may cut all the programming, except the ship's own. Many shipboard activities, such as the celebrity lectures, can be watched on the TV later on. QM2 Interactive Television allows guests to order room service (I tried mine, and the breakfast order arrived on time in the morning), review your folio and order pay-per-view movies (from children movies to adult desires). As a hint: When reviewing your folio, please note that purchases necessarily don't show up immediately, but may appear there a day later.
Other comments: The balcony is spacious, but there is no teak flooring (except in the most expensive range of suites). The balcony furniture consists of plastic lounge chairs, but there are cushions; if your steward doesn't put them out, check under your bed. Cabins are also furnished with ashtrays, so prepare to smell smoke in your cabin (during my crossing, there was a smell of smoke during the entire voyage).
Regular trans-Atlantic passengers are generally good self-entertainers, but today's cruise passengers expect the same types of programming from the trans-Atlantic voyage as from a sea day on a typical Caribbean cruise.
Apart from lavish evening shows, daytime Champagne art auctions and bingo sessions, QM2 really sets itself apart with its multi-tiered enrichment program. "Cunard Insights" explores historical and contemporary issues presented by explorers, academics, former politicians, musicians, historians, film makers and the like. Obviously, there's quite a bit of variety here. One crossing may feature former Byrds frontman Roger McGuinn, another Jeffery Weinberg, an expert on U.S. presidents.
There are several other prongs to the enrichment program. The "Julliard Jazz Series" features performances by students and faculty from the prestigious music institution, Royal Astronomical Society presenters talk stars and solar systems, and the Royal Academy of Arts graduate company presents specially edited versions of classic plays and novels, each lasting no more than one hour.
Queen Mary 2 also offers an extensive computer learning program in its Apple Learning Centre, across from the Connexions Internet cafe. Apple iStudy courses, taught on iMac computers, cover topics such as basic computer skills on Macs and PCs, photo editing, movie making, and using new technology such as Facebook and iPads.
In addition to regular bars -- such as the Golden Lion Pub, Sir Samuel's Wine Bar and the Chart Room -- Queen Mary 2 features the first-ever Veuve Clicquot Champagne Bar at sea. It serves seven different Veuve Clicquot Champagne labels, with prices from $7 per glass. Although the place was popular, the execution of the outlet could have been better. The barkeeper was also responsible for handling bills for the neighboring Chart Room (so service was intermittent) and Champagne was often poured into warm glasses. Nevertheless, it was one of my favorite spots.
The superlatives speak for themselves.
Queen Mary 2 was the first passenger liner purpose-built for trans-Atlantic service in 35 years. That's quite a stretch when you consider that its predecessor, the half-the-size Queen Elizabeth 2, started service at about the same time the first jumbo jet took to the skies. To further the sea-air scenario comparing the venerable Queen Elizabeth 2 to the new Queen Mary 2 is like contrasting an early Pan Am Boeing 747 with today's oh-so-forward new Airbus A380 (like QM2, it will be the largest and most expensive of its kind ever to be built).
Indeed, perhaps Queen Mary 2 would never have been built if Carnival Corporation had not acquired Cunard Line from the Norwegian Kvaerner group in 1998. In the years prior to Carnival's acquisition, Cunard had been steered with a lack of clear course and imagination -- resulting in a fleet of rather mismatched vessels -- while still trying to hang on to its hallowed reputation.
What interested Carnival Corporation wasn't Cunard's past as much as its future. While the concept of a splashy (and is it ever!) new ship to be called Queen Mary 2 was well beyond drawing-board stages at Cunard prior to the acquisition, it was Carnival's interest and -- finally -- support, that made the $780 million investment a reality. The construction of Queen Mary 2 took place in the French shipyard Chantiers de l'Atlantique, the same yard that built other famous liners like Normandie and France -- not to mention more contemporary vessels like Coral Princess and Celebrity Millennium. QM2 was built in almost record time and was delivered to Carnival Corp. just prior to Christmas of 2003. She was christened with ultimate hype and fanfare on January 8, 2004, by Queen Elizabeth II, and four days later the brand-new Queen Mary 2 embarked on her maiden voyage.
What about the ship itself? While there are nods to classic Cunard -- the high ceilings, fabulous art collection and daily tea service create an elegant ambience -- this is a modern cruise ship through and through. Passengers will find the requisite large number of private balconies, a handful of alternative restaurants (including the much-ballyhooed, for-fee Todd English), Champagne art auctions and a massive (and pricey) spa run by Canyon Ranch. The ship also features cruising's only planetarium, Illuminations, which is used for lectures, movies and of course planetarium films. Still, size can be something of a limitation. With 2,620 passengers, it's impossible to provide the level of service afforded in days done by. That said, staff are almost always upbeat and helpful.
With more than half a decade since its last refurb, QM2 isn't the stunning lady she was in 2004. The ship is certainly showing signs of wear in its carpets, upholstery and floors. But there's good news: A two-week refit took place from November 24 to December 8, 2011. The aim was to restore some of her early good looks. The Golden Lion Pub underwent significant renovations, which gave the venue more of an American country club feel (warm colors, plush seating, new TV's). Additionally, cabins received new carpeting, bedding and furniture. New carpet designs and furnishings were added to most public areas, including Queens Grill, Princess Grill, Commodore Club and Sir Samuel's.

The Flying Wild Alaska Season 1 DVD, a series which follows the unconventional Tweto family that rules Alaska most dangerous skies. Operating their family-run airline, Era Alaska, they battle unforgiving Alaska weather and terrain to transport life necessities to one of the most remote and extreme regions of America. In a Flying Wild Alaska DVD, with no freeway system for hundreds of miles, Era Alaska is the lifeline for the isolated rural inhabitants of the Bering Sea coastline. From champion snow dogs bound for the Iditarod to medicine for sick children to groceries for miners working on an operation on the North Slope, the goods that the intrepid pilots ship on any given day are crucial to everyday life.
Shop for Flying Wild Alaska Season 1 DVD and see how the Tweto family risks it all by using their airline to deliver necessary supplies to the most rural and remote areas in the country.
Ep. 1) Meet the Twetos: In the frigid Alaskan town of Unalakleet, the Tweto's and their family-run airline battle the arctic elements to transport supplies and passengers to some of the most inaccessible areas on the planet.
Ep. 2) Life or Death: Pilot Luke Hickerson transports dangerous chemicals from Barrow to the remote village of Atqasuk. Then, in Unalakleet, the cold and dark winter claims its first casualty and Jim must make arrangements to transport the casket.
Ep. 3) Indian Summer: The joke in Unalakleet, Alaska is that if you don't like weather, just wait 15 minutes and it's sure to change. But on this particular late summer day you'd be hard pressed to find anyone not happy with the current conditions. There is not a cloud in the sky, the winds are calm, and the mercury checks in at a balmy"¦ 42 degrees. Era Alaska pilot & C.O.O., Jim Tweto takes advantage of the favorable conditions to head north to check on his base in Kotzebue. Not far from Kotzebue, in a village called Point Lay, thousands of migratory walrus have recently gathered along the beach. The walrus make this trek annually, but this year their numbers are unprecedented. Many think the increase is a result of melting polar ice caps. Regardless, the FAA has issued a T.F.R. or "Temporary Flight Restriction", over the entire area. If one of Jim's planes were to stray too close to the beach, not only would he receive a hefty fine, but the sound from the plane's engines could cause the walrus to stampede and trample their young. It's a serious issue that Jim must attend to personally. Already in Kotzebue are pilots Jared and Jesse Cummings. They are Jim's off-airport specialists. They are experts at S.T.O.L. (Short Take-Offs and Landings) from ridge tops, riverbanks and glaciers. Recently a park ranger's plane had to make an emergency landing in dangerous bear country. Jesse races to find the plane before the bears do. Fresh off of his long assignment in Kavik, former professional skateboarder and current Era pilot John Ponts arrives in Unalakleet to a warm welcome. He will remain in Unalakleet for the rest of the winter, but for now, he is enjoying the unseasonably warm weather by "bombing" down nearby Old-Army Hill on his skateboard outfitted with large off-road tires. And later, to give Alaska's summer a proper send off, Ponts, Ariel and her sister Ayla decide to go bridge jumping. They slip into swimwear and leap into the frigid 43 degree waters of the Unalakleet River.
Ep. 4) Tundra Taxis: Hurricane force winds roar into Northern Alaska. The windsocks indicators around the Unalakleet airport are stretched taut, and the bearing sea is a white-capped mess. Even the hearty Eskimo villagers who are accustomed to temperatures as low as negative 40 are starting to dress like it's winter. To the South, John Ponts transports an unusually skittish Department of Transportation worker to the village of Nunam Iqua. The winds gust up to 50mph, tossing the tiny Cessna 207 all over the sky. To land, John must "crab" the plane in. This is done by aggressively angling the plane into the direction of the wind. From the ground it appears that his plane is flying nearly sideways. This works well"¦ up to a point. If the landing gear touches the ground at this angle it will sheer off. To keep this from happening, at the very last minute John will have to straighten the plane out and try to compensate for the crosswinds. It's a maneuver that is as complicated it looks. In Bethel, Era pilot and C.O.O. Jim Tweto arrives to inspect the progress on his newest hangar. Right now it is nothing more than a slab of concrete. He hopes to have the structure complete before the snow arrives, but it's not looking good. The hangar is way behind schedule and Jim is none to pleased. He storms around the Era terminal flipping off light switches in the hopes of saving a few cents and easing his mind. Just outside of Bethel is the tiny village of Kwigillingok. It is home to 400 rural villagers, and also the most dangerous runway that Era services. From the air, the runway looks like a narrow, dirt hiking path. From the ground"¦ it still looks like a narrow, dirt hiking path"¦ but with large potholes. Today, Era pilot Phillip Sampson is transporting a teacher who must get back to the nearby school. There are no roads for hundreds of miles around; Kwigillingok is accessibly only by air. And on days like this, where the winds are gusting violently, it is accessible perhaps not at all. It will take all of Phillip's abilities to get his Cessna 207 safely on the ground. But the winds are not all bad news. In Nome, pilot Doug "Hollywood" Stewart takes advantage of the stiff head winds to partake in his favorite pastime: hang gliding. Aside from the pure enjoyment of it, he sees hang gliding as a good practice, should the "big fan" on the front of his aircraft ever stop spinning.
Ep. 5) Greenhorn Ben: Yuri Ivanoff arrives in Bethel to begin his training in the Cessna 208 Caravan. He had been flying the smaller 207 "lead sled" up in Unalakleet, but the arrival of his newborn son has inspired him to pursue a job piloting the larger, better paying, 208 caravan. But before he can make the leap, he must first impress Ross Nixon: Jim Tweto's ever-intimidating 208 Check Airman. Ross watches closely as Yuri clumsily takes control of the aircraft and wrestles it towards the windy Alaskan town of Palmer. After a stream of mistakes, a sheet of ice begins to form on the leading edge of the plane's wings. Even the usually stoic Ross becomes a bit rattled when the "boots" (a deicing feature on the front of the wings) fail to engage properly. Meanwhile, back at Era Alaska's nerve center in Unalakleet, Pilot and C.O.O. Jim Tweto loads his Cessna 180 up in preparation for a supply drop out in the Andreafsky Mountains. There, a group of hunters anxiously await his arrival. Unfortunately, upon approach, Jim discovers that the recent weeks of rain have caused a nearby stream to swell, cutting the size of riverbank he intended to land on by nearly 50%. Left with no other option but to turn around and head home, Jim decides to take his chances with the river. He aligns his plane and prepares to skim his wheels along the top of the water to slow his momentum. If done right, he will come to a stop before the end of the shortened runway. If done wrong, the landing gear could sheer off, leaving Jim and the hunters stranded in the arctic wilderness. Jim is not the only Era pilot with off-airport woes. In the Unalakleet terminal, Greenhorn pilot Ben Pederson has been given the most challenging run of his short career: an off-airport drop at Granite Mountain. At Granite Mountain there are no lights, no wind indicators, and no help should anything go wrong. Normally, Jim Tweto handles these types of runs, but in his absence, Ben will have to step it up.
Ep. 6) Blow it Up: Nome, Alaska is where an incredible journey known as the Iditarod Sled Race comes to an end. And on this episode, it is also where an incredible journey involving two Era Alaska pilots will begin. Nome Pilot Doug Doherty and Co-Pilot Eric Rose have been hired to transport volatile explosives from Barrow to Savoonga on their Beechcraft 1900. Savoonga is a small village located on the Island of St Lawrence, just 46 miles west of Siberian Russia. Due to the sensitive nature of the cargo they will be forced to load the plane at the far end of an empty runway, then fly around all populated areas they encounter while en route. Meaning, to avoid western villages like Point Lay and Wales, they will be forced to fly alarmingly close to Russian airspace. Doug jokes that if the explosives in their cargo hold don't blow them to pieces, then the Russian Migs surely will. The explosives in need of transport are volatile harpoon heads necessary for Savoonga's fall whale hunt. The weapons grade projectiles create a kill shot that minimizes the whale's suffering. Normally these harpoon heads are transported by barge, but the Beaufort Sea has frozen up solid around Barrow, meaning air transport is the only option. Likewise, the Bearing Sea is quickly freezing up around St Lawrence Island, making this operation even more critical. If the harpoons don't arrive soon, whale hunting becomes impossible, and the villagers will have no way to feed their families during the long winter months. With this in mind, Doug and Eric plot their course carefully and set-off on the most unique and dangerous mission of their careers. But they are not the only Era Alaska pilots enduring white-knuckle flights. Greenhorn pilot Ben Pederson has been hired to transport two Department of Transportation workers from Unalakleet to the village of Stebbins. The forecast calls for sunshine and miles of visibility along the flight. Ben takes to the sky in his Cessna 207, but the serenity doesn't last long. He spots a large bird flying directly at his aircraft, and before he has a chance to react, the bird slams violently into the propeller. It explodes on impact and sends shock waves racing through the fuselage. Ben's 207 has but one engine, and the Alaskan Loon it collided with was nearly the same size as the Canadian Geese that sent the massive United Airways Jetliner into the Hudson River. So, much like Capt. Sully, Ben snaps to attention and does his best to avoid disaster.
Ep. 7) Deep Freeze: The town of Barrow is hit by a fierce winter storm, turning the runways into giant sheets of ice. As a result, the larger, commercial jetliners are forced to cancel all of their flights for days, leaving customers stuck out in the cold. But not Era Alaska, their smaller Bush planes can handle the toughest of conditions and are called upon to pick up the slack and the stranded passengers. Era's star pilot Luke Hickerson and his years of flying in Alaska's toughest conditions are essential to this operation. But even Luke's skills are tested when he tries to land in the remote village of Point Lay with minimal visibility. In Fairbanks, Pilot Doug Doherty visits his old friend and four-time Iditarod champion Lance Mackey with a planeload of canine hopefuls. Sled dog racing is serious business in Alaska. These coastal canine athletes are worth upwards of one thousands dollars each and are chartered direct from Unalakleet. Lance has one spot available on his team. He hooks them up to a sled and takes these Unalakleet dogs out for a test run, and a chance to join the very best in the world. Ariel Tweto and her friend and flying instructor, John Ponts, take to the skies in an impromptu flying lesson. But things take a dangerous turn when she directs the plane toward a giant flock of swans Back on the ground in Unalakleet, the Era staff prepares for their busiest day of the year. Teachers from villages across Western Alaska have descended on the town, filling planes and nearly doubling the area's population overnight. It's an especially stressful day for Jim. His client, the Bering Strait School District, is one of the airline's biggest sources of revenue. One misstep could mean a serious hit to profits.
Ep. 8) Bush Brawl: Jim Tweto and his wife Ferno enjoy a rare opportunity to fly into the wilderness of Alaska together as a couple. After a tricky landing on a frozen riverbank, they check in on the properties of two feuding neighbors. Despite having miles of uninhabited tundra between them, it's still too close for comfort for these two paranoid Alaskans. They've each (unknowingly) enlisted the help of the Twetos to spy on their adversary. Back in Unalakleet, Ariel helps out DJ Sam by broadcasting live from the "Bush Brawl" annual wrestling tournament up in Kotzebue. After a hard day of work she takes to the air in a Cessna 207 with her friend and flight instructor John Ponts. Her goal is to successfully complete her first unassisted landing. But flying out over the frozen ocean and landing at an unfamiliar airport proves to be more than Ariel had bargained for. Tough as nails pilot Sarah Fraher works out of a remote hub in the village of St Mary's. Today, she is entrusted with a food delivery for school children in nearby Mountain Village. But on the way there, a massive storm blows in. She guns the throttle of her older 207 and does her best to outrun the gale force winds. But unfortunately for her, this particular plane has seen better days. It lags badly as the storm nips at her heals. To the north, her boyfriend and fellow Era pilot, John Ponts, is dealing with problems of his own. On his approach to the tiny Eskimo village of Stebbins, a massive herd of Caribou migrates onto the runway. With the storm closing in, he is pressed for time. He anxiously circles overhead while the local herder clears the animals. The storm front sweeps the entire western side of the state, blanketing it with snow and buffeting it with hurricane force winds. Soon, airport after airport shuts down, including Sarah's base in St Marys. She is left with no choice but to reroute north, praying that she can reach Unalakleet before the weather does.
Ep. 9) Trick or Tweto: It's Halloween in Unalakleet and pilot John Ponts is using the opportunity to bring some smiles to his passengers. He exchanges his normal uniform of Carhartt pants and a hoody sweatshirt in favor of a giant yellow chicken suit, hoping to cheer up the kids during the cold dark winter. At Era's busiest hub in Bethel, pilots Erik Snuggerud and Phil Ekdahl are dealing with the brutal winter winds that plague rural Alaska. On his way to Chefornak to drop off vital food supplies, Erik's flight takes a typical Alaskan twist when he gets a radio call to pick up a couple of seals to make native clothing for the winter. A reasonable request, except that Erik will have to battle deadly 40 mph crosswinds just to get his plane on the ground. Elsewhere in Bethel, Phil faces his own challenges flying a mother and her infant daughter to the village of Russian Mission. The deadly crosswinds are compounded by flat lighting conditions that make it impossible to gauge distances, a combination that has proven fatal for many bush pilots. Back in Unakleet, Ariel tries to learn more about the family business. When Ferno heads to a meeting in Anchorage and Jim is called to re-supply hunters up near Koyuk, Ariel is put to the test as she is left in charge of the Era nerve center for the first time. Nothing is simple in Alaska and Ariel's problems steadily mount, culminating in a power outage that threatens to cost Era thousands of dollars in lost revenue. Later that night, Ariel and Ferno go on their daily run and find out that ghosts and goblins aren't the only things to be afraid of today, as they get an up close visit from some Alaskan wildlife.
Ep. 10) Goodbye Sun: The winter darkness is closing in on Alaska and many residents are heading south to avoid the two months of night that is almost upon them. In Era's northern most hub in Barrow, station manager Tom Elkins discovers illegal alcohol hidden in a frozen food box. The police are called and a trap is set. The bootlegger will be nabbed when he comes to the Era terminal to retrieve the contraband. Down in Unalakleet, Ariel Tweto makes one last attempt to land a Cessna 207 on her own. Only this time, Jim is in the passenger seat. After her nearly disastrous first landing attempt with Ponts earlier in the month, her stress level is sky-high. She hopes to make her dad proud while simultaneously achieving an important milestone in her flying career. Jim gets a late season call to pick up a group of moose hunters stuck on a snowy hill North of Koyuk. Their hunt has dragged on twice as long as expected and they are anxious to get back to civilization. However, the deep snow surrounding the camp may be more than the plane's engine can handle. Once on the ground, Jim must fight the powdery conditions and hidden obstacles to get airborne, all while a looming storm threatens to strand them all. Back in Barrow, pilot Luke Hickerson is on his last flight of the season when he gets a report of a missing snow machiner. With temperatures well below zero, Luke must race polar bears and the setting sun as he tries to find the man before 2 months of darkness consume the region.
