First cruise, very enjoyable, great service!
Sail Date: August 23, 2015
Reviewed: 1 year ago
Traveled As: Singles/Friends
Room Type: Inside
This was our first cruise and we didn't have super high expectations after hearing of experiences from our friends. As it turns out, the ship was very large (no seasickness!), it had great service (especially in the main dinner dining room), and tons of things to do onboard (flowrider, rock climbing, casino, etc.). The lines at the cruise ports were shorter for Royal Caribbean than for Carnival (both ships had similar stops) and we were able to better maximize our time at each location. Rooms were larger than I expected since we only booked interior staterooms. There was even one dinner where we had lobster tails, which was delicious. Great value overall.

|Cabin / Stateroom
|Nice stateroom attendant, room was larger than we expected. Bed could be two twins on the side of the rooms or a queen in the center. Small sofa (smaller than loveseat, larger than one seater) and vanity with chair. Good enough overall as you don't generally stay in your room.
|Embarkation and Disembarkation
|Regular priority lines to check in took about an hour and half with no air conditioning. Lines to disembark were crazy long without people checking ticket times/numbers.
|Ship Quality
|Nice large ship, rooms are cleaned twice daily.
|Destinations and Excursions
|Had a great time on the excursions I planned that were not part of Royal Caribbean, the Royal Caribbean excursion was like herding sheep as they put you with large groups and you have to do a lot of waiting.
|Onboard Activities
|Flowrider (surfing and boogie boarding) and rock climbing for those that are sporty, casino for those that are gamblers, and pool for those that want to relax.
|The comedy shows were decent, the ice dancing and broadway singing/dancing left a little bit more to be desired.
|Service and Staff
|Food and Dining
|Great service in the main dining room. Buffet upstairs had a ton of options.
Port Ratings

|Galveston, Texas
|Cozumel, Mexico
|Cozumel has gorgeous views of the water. Snorkeling here is fun, you see some interesting fish and other sea life. The real mayan ruins are far away. Having lunch with an ocean view was amazing.
|George Town, Grand Cayman
|Easiest port to just walk and do stuff if you don't want to do an excursion. Lots of shopping and food easily available. Stingray sandbar was quite an experience, at first the stingrays are scary, but you get use to them and start having fun
|Falmouth, Jamaica
|Minus some jewelry and souvenir stores, not much dining options near the cruise port if you just want to walk around. Fun island, Dunns River Falls excursion highlight recommended for those in decent shape.
If you don't want to purchase the drink packages, they always have water, Seattle's best coffee, and hot tea available all day (Cafe Prommenade). For breakfast you can get juices for free, for lunch you get ice tea and lemonade. Be sure to get in line early for ports that require tendering!

The idea of men walking around the office with a pair of open-toed sandals on their moist, sweaty bare feet is not a pretty thought, either, and even less acceptable than for women. Men are expected to wear shoes and socks at all times.
"I suppose Jesus wore sandals, but then he wasn't working in insurance at the time," said a human resources manager at insurance brokers Swire Blanche in the City.
She was not dead against the wearing of sandals and bare feet to work, although she would not be too impressed if someone turned up at a job interview in strappy sandals.
"Whilst I'd like to say it is allowed," she said, "in this day and age, we'd have to allow it for men as well as women. While women are allowed to wear shorts suits to work, it would be frowned upon if a man did the same, and the same goes for sandals.
"Our dress code is pretty flexible. It says business-like attire. But sandals would not be business-like. We have had ladies wear shoes without covered toes." She herself was wearing stockings and slingbacks with covered toes, so showing a bit of ankle is certainly not completely off- limits.
Don't even think about revealing your feet unless they are in perfect condition. Nobody likes even the briefest glimpse of somebody else's corns, cracked nails and horny heels. And feet that spend most of the year languishing unattended in shoes, socks or tights are likely to suffer from all three.
"A lot of people don't like their feet," says Janeen Taylor, a beauty therapist at The Gentry in Canary Wharf. "I'm fascinated by feet," she adds. "The first thing I look at in a guy is their feet." She advises a pedicure once a month and a good rub with a pumice stone every night. If feet are in a very bad state, Ms Taylor will advise a visit to a chiropodist. "Pedicure is not a very popular treatment, which is a shame because you see people's feet on the escalator all the time with hard skin. Sandals are so bare this summer."
The chances are, if you have pounds 20 to spend on a pamper session, you'll opt for a facial, or a haircut, or even a manicure. Feet seem such a waste of time. They are somehow altogether too embarrassing - take your shoes and socks off in public and you never know what unpleasantness you might unleash. And besides, like Janeen Taylor's, feet can be a very sensitive and ticklish part of the body.
Attitudes are set to change, however. The footcare company Scholl has recognised the demand for more than just verruca and bunion treatment. Last week, the company opened the first Scholl Total Footcare Centre in Watford, a concept it is describing as a "paradise retreat for feet". The centre moves foot treatments away from the beauty parlour and offers a specialist sports-injury clinic to treat lower leg and foot problems, as well as total pedi-pampering. Weary feet can enjoy a half hour's aromatherapy massage for pounds 15, or a pre-holiday package which involves a foot bath, rough skin removal, paraffin wax treatment (imagine the pleasure of dipping your feet into warm, gloopy paraffin wax), a foot and leg massage and nail varnish in a colour of your choice. The cost is pounds 30, but the treatment lasts for one hour and not only will your feet be left soft and glowing, but you will be de-stressed and feel as though your feet don't touch the ground for days after. A pair of barely-there, strappy sandals will be just the thing to show off your newly revitalised tootsies - in your free time, at least.
Since the centre opened last week, Deborah Lochrie, general manager and chiropodist, has been busy massaging, trimming and pumicing strange feet. "I could go into the gory details," she says. "Usually, the person who says they have lovely feet has the most awful feet in the world. I've seen thickened horny nails, scaly skin, and big wedges of dead skin." Aromatherapy has been most popular with women, but men are becoming more interested too. "Men aren't as embarrassed about their feet as they used to be." Nevertheless, they are still, according to Scholl's recent research, more likely to have smelly feet than women. The average foot loses around a quarter of an egg cup of fluid per day.
For anyone who can't wait for a Scholl Total Footcare Centre to open locally, invest in a DIY Scholl Pamper Pack which includes a pumice brush, exfoliating foot cream and soothing foot bath. With or without sandals, your poor, punished, aching feet deserve itn

Burmese food
One of the essential parts of a trip to Burma would be to indulge in Burmese cuisine. As all travel geeks are food lovers as well, Burma can satisfy your food curiosity. Food in Burma is inexpensive and accessible. Moreover, there is a wide range to choose from. And when I say wide, I mean wide!
Eating Customs
Similar to other countries in Asia, the Burmese food is eaten on a low table. They don't use chairs and just usually sit on a mat. Some restaurants in Myanmar practice this set up while some don't. So, what should you expect on a typical Burmese meal? Of course, rice would always be present. Along with rice would be a viand or accompanying dish they term as hin. Curry is also a big need during meals that is why they serve curried meat or chicken with light soup on the side. For fritters, they usually use gourd or onions in breading or batter.
In Burmese customs, the elders are served the food first. If ever they are not around for the meal, the first scoop of rice is set aside. This first scoop is called u cha.
The very main influence of Burmese cookery is their religious background which is Buddhism. Buddhist consider the cow highly that is why they avoid eating beef. This is also one reason why many Burmese are vegetarians.
When it comes to countries that influence Myanmar, just take a look at the map and pin point the neighboring lands. Chinese inspired meals include those that are served with noodles and eaten with chop sticks. One famous meal that I have tasted is the Mi Swan. This is made with very soft noodles and is served with chicken broth. I really love how simple the taste it but how soothing it can be just like our regular chicken soup. Another Chinese inspired meal I was able to partake on was the San Byokh which is rice congee with duck. It was topped with century egg and I didn't know how good a century egg could taste until that day.
India is also one of the neighboring countries of Myanmar. I got to see and taste a lot of curry! One of the best delicacies I've tasted really made love to my sweet tooth. It is called Hpaluda and is made with jello, milk, rose water, coconut shavings topped with custard and ice cream. I couldn't help but order 3 plates! We were also able to taste a fish dish with green chilly curry on it. This made my belly boil and I had to come back for more the next day! The fish fillet was cooked perfectly in low hear and it was accompanied by a rich tasting pumpkin curry.
I have tasted the best stuffed flat bread in Burma! I don't know how they bake it or make it but the bread is really tasty. The curry they include with it is Nepalese and there is a lot of radish, cabbage, tomato salsa and mango pickle going around. Salads with these ingredients dressed with peanut oil and lime tasted so good as well.
We had some street snacking as well. You have to try bat skewers. They are roasted, crispy, crunchy and very enticing. If you have an interest for exotic food then this should be the perfect challenge for you. There are western meals served as well just in case you miss them such as pizza and pasta but expect a Burmese twist! In conclusion, Burmese cooks are really diverse – from East to West – they can merge flavors in your plate amazingly!

Cobia Fishing
Submitted by Dr. Ken Neill
IGFA Hall of Fame fisheries scientist, Dr. John Graves and his most recent graduate student, Douglas Jensen, went out yesterday with Capt. Jorj Head and his son Hayden to deploy the last cobia pop-up satellite tag of the season. These tags are programmed to gather data for 6 months, release from the fish and transmit the data. Dr. Graves and his students have done extensive work with this technology on billfish and tuna. With coastal fish, they have had good success using these high-tech tags with large striped bass and red drum. This is the first time anyone has tried to use these tags for longterm deployment on cobia. There have been a small number of cobia tagged for very short release times. If the animal dies or sheds the tag prematurely, the tag will begin transmitting early. So far, so good as all tags are silent.
Beaverdam Reservoir Fishing Report
Submitted by Park Ranger Michelle Dawn
We have been crossing our fingers at the lake for rain but we have not had any luck for a month, the water level at the lake is 10 inches lower than normal, the water temp is 75 degrees and the grass is a bear right now. There is not a lot of bragging going on at Beaverdam this month unless you are a Cat fisherman or a kayaker. The fishing has been tough, catching Bass has been even tougher. Children are pulling out the bream from the fishing pier, and a few hardcore anglers have caught a few big Bass in the deep water with weedless worms. The crappie anglers are not talking, they have been dormant all Summer.
The best time to fish the lake is sunrise and sunset when the fish can come up to the top without feeling like prey. They are still hungry but not active. You need to drop your bait on their head to get their attention. The heat has slowed everything down. There are a few areas of the lake that are ripe with action in coves. Beaverdam Lake holds over a hundred cold water springs beneath the surface of the lake. These springs are unknown to many because they are only exposed every couple of years when the lake freezes over. The springs will create circles in the ice. Most of these springs are in the coves, surrounded by grass at the moment and only accessible to kayakers. If you can find those springs, you will find the fish. If I was living in that lake without rain for a month in the stagnant water, I would find my way to those springs too. The fish are still here, they don't leave because it gets hot, they adapt, So the angler must adapt too. Enjoy and fish responsibly
September 17th will be our Beaverdam Big Bash open Bass tournament, open to anyone that thinks they can fish this lake. For more information about Fishing Beaverdam you can call the Ranger Station at (804) 693-2107 or email at

Kate Upton (no relation to Justin), Sports Illustrated swimsuit model teaches Justin Verlander, David Price, C.J. Wilson, and Jay Bruce how to throw a circle change on the new MLB2K12 game. The commercial stars AL Cy Young winner and MLB2K12 cover boy Verlander. In this episode, he is joined by Price, Wilson, and Bruce in their quest to win $1 million by pitching a perfect game.
Despite all of their many accomplishments, none of them have achieved perfection on the mound, and thus are not allowed in the club. To aid them in their quest for perfection, they've enlisted the help of The Perfect Club hostess, Sports Illustrated swimsuit model Kate Upton to teach them proper finger mechanics and pitch control for throwing a circle change. The boys enjoy the lesson, in many many ways. But will it be enough though, to help them throw them most perfect game in the $1,000,000 Perfect Game Challenge and get inside?
On David Price's Twitter account, he claimed that he kept screwing up his scenes on purpose so that Upton would need to shoot it again.
You have your chance to join The Perfect Club as well and be $1,000,000 richer. MLB 2K12 is available in stores March 6, 2012. Details on The Perfect Club here -http://2kgam.es/MLB2K12

A Black Agenda Radio commentary by Bruce A. Dixon
Comedian Lily Tomlin once said that no matter how cynical you get, it's impossible to keep up. CNN's latest installment of "Black In America" with its focus on the "tragic mulatto" proves her right. CNN's version of history erases the actual origin of North America's "one drop rule."
CNN's Black In America: What Happens When Popeye's Teaches Chickens History & Current Events
A Black Agenda Radio commentary by Bruce A. Dixon
Letting CNN explain to us what it means to be black in America is about as smart as chickens choosing Popeye's to teach their history. To nobody's surprise, the latest installment of CNN's " Black in America" spoke more to white perceptions of blackness and black history than it did to actual black experiences. This episode's focus on what Zora Neale Hurston called "the tragic mulatto" revisits what's always been chiefly a white obsession, rather than any central fact of African American life, and offers a fake history of the origin of the so-called "one drop rule" which makes anybody with detectable African ancestry in the US considered black.
The one-drop rule's actual origins go back to the 1600s. The slave trade was carried on wind powered sailing ships coming mostly from West Africa and Angola. The shortest hop with the prevailing winds was to Brazil, where 40% of those surviving the Middle Passage landed. The West Indies were a short trip as well. Slaves were so plentiful and cheap from Brazil to St. Kitts to Jamaica and Haiti that masters found it economical to work them to death in 3 to 5 years and buy new ones, which they did for 3 centuries.
But the slave ports of North America were a much longer journey, and against the wind. So many slaves and crewmen perished that few slave ships even tried to make it directly here from Africa. Scholars estimate that only 4 or 5% of Africans taken from the continent made it to North America, and half those were dropped in the West Indies to recuperate and brought here later. Consequently slaves in North America were too expensive to be worked to death every few years; slavemasters in places like colonial Virginia needed a self-reproducing slave population. Unlike Brazilian and West Indian slavemasters who often gave privileges and sometimes freedom to the children they made upon slave women, North American slavemasters from the mid-1600s began enforcing a one-drop rule so they could profit from the sale of their own children whom they made upon enslaved African women.
Thus the one-drop rule, was a legal doctrine in the great North American tradition, to safeguard the ruling class's investments in enslaved human capital. Unlike the Caribbean, light-skinned descendants of Africans didn't necessarily get any special privileges here. Mistresses distressed at the sight of pickaninnies who looked like their husbands, brothers, fathers and overseers typically separated them from their mothers and sold them away.
There were many Haitians who took the wrong side in the revolution and the struggles immediately afterward, who fled to New Orleans. Most of them were light-skinned and brought their sense of entitlement with them. But their experience and their influence though significant, was and has been the exception for the black experience in the United States, not the rule.
By failing to mention, let alone examine the origin of the one-drop rule, CNN's programming on its effects and ramifications fails to pass any reasonable test for historical accuracy or relevance to life as it's lived by most of us in black America. But what can you expect when you rely on Popeye to teach chickens history and current events?

Kolkata, Sep 3 (UNI) "Aei Samay," the Left's intellectuals forum, has threatened to launch its agitation immediately across the state, if the Opposition Trinamool Congress did not lift its stir from Singur within twenty-four hours.
''Trinamool Congress supremo Mamata Banerjee is a betrayer. She is also betraying the people and the upcoming generation of West Bengal by opposing the Tata's small car unit at Singur. We have already cleared the weed from the Katwa of Burdwan and now it has started on Singur'' the forum said.
According to the forum, the Tata's small car "Nano" neither belonged to Chief Minister Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee nor Trinamool chief Mamata Banerjee.
''It is only for the people of the state and the youths having a dream for employment. Those who are opposing it we will be facing united resistance from them,'' the forum added.
The forum also alleged that the Trinamool Congress's motive was to take up its agitational programme to the parliamentary election.
''But the Lok Sabha Election is too late. Therefore, it is our duty to campaign unitedly to the people against the Opposition parties' anti-development movement in the state.
The stir against the Trinamool Congress's opposition on Nano project has been started from Kakdwip to Coochbehar, the forum said congratulating those who joined their agitation.
Kolkata Mayor Bikas Ranjan Bhattacharjee, eminent poet Subodh Sarkar, film personality Biplab Chatterjee, noted cricket player Sambaran Banerjee and football player Surojit Sengupta were among others were participating in the rally here.

GBPUSD Daily Forecast: March 23
GBPUSD Forecast
The GBPUSD attempted to push lower yesterday, bottomed at 1.5771 but closed a little bit higher at 1.5821. The bias remains neutral in nearest term. Overall price is still trapped in a wide range area of 1.6000 – 1.5650 and need a clear break from the range area to see clearer direction. Immediate support is seen around 1.5771 (yesterday's low). A clear break below that area could trigger further bearish pressure testing 1.5700 area. Immediate resistance is seen around 1.5850. A clear break above that area could trigger further bullish pressure testing 1.5900/13 resistance area and reopen the door for another bullish scenario retesting 1.6000 key resistance. We haven't seen good trending movement this week so don't rush jumping into the market.

Generic Name: estradiol (ES-tra-DYE-ol)
Brand Name: Vagifem
Estradiol should not be used to prevent heart disease, heart attacks, strokes, or dementia. Estrogens have been shown to increase the risk of heart disease (including heart attack), stroke, dementia, serious blood clots (eg, in the lungs or legs), cancer of the uterus, and breast cancer in some women. Tell your doctor right away if you have unusual vaginal bleeding while you use estradiol. Talk with your doctor if you have questions about the benefits and risks of using estradiol.
Estradiol should be used for the shortest possible time at the lowest effective dose to minimize the risk of these side effects. Talk with your doctor regularly about your need to use estradiol.
Estradiol is used for:
Treating itching, burning, and dryness in or around the vaginal area in women past menopause.
Estradiol is a vaginal estrogen tablet. It works by increasing the amount of estrogen in the body in certain women who do not produce enough on their own.
Do NOT use estradiol if:
- you are allergic to any ingredient in estradiol
- you have had a severe reaction (eg, swelling of the hands, face, lips, eyes, throat, or tongue; trouble swallowing or breathing; hoarseness) after taking estradiol
- you are pregnant or think you may be pregnant
- you have known or suspected breast cancer or another estrogen-dependent cancer, or you have a history of breast cancer
- you have a history of liver problems or liver disease
- you have abnormal vaginal bleeding of an unknown cause
- you have active blood clots (eg, of the legs or lungs), a history of blood clots, or a condition which may increase your risk of blood clots
- you have had a heart attack or stroke
Contact your doctor or health care provider right away if any of these apply to you.
Before using estradiol:
Some medical conditions may interact with estradiol. Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you have any medical conditions, especially if any of the following apply to you:
- if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or are breast-feeding
- if you are taking any prescription or nonprescription medicine, herbal preparation, or dietary supplement
- if you have allergies to medicines, foods, or other substances
- if you have a condition called hereditary angioedema
- if you have a history of breast lumps, breast disease, or an abnormal mammogram, or if a member of your family has had breast cancer
- if you have a vaginal infection or a history of uterus problems (eg, fibroids, endometriosis, abnormal vaginal bleeding, cancer), or you have had your uterus removed (hysterectomy)
- if you have a history of asthma, depression, memory problems, diabetes, seizures, gallbladder disease, pancreatitis, heart problems, high blood cholesterol or triglyceride levels, high blood calcium levels, high blood pressure, low blood levels of parathyroid hormone, or porphyria
- if you have a history of kidney or liver problems, yellowing of the skin or eyes, cancer, lupus, migraines, thyroid problems, or chorea (jerky, involuntary movements of the face, arms, or legs)
- if you smoke, use tobacco, are very overweight, will be having surgery, or will be confined to a bed or chair for a period of time
- if a member of your family has had high cholesterol or triglyceride levels, blood clots (eg, in the leg or lung), lupus, or has been very overweight
Some MEDICINES MAY INTERACT with estradiol. Tell your health care provider if you are taking any other medicines, especially any of the following:
- Azole antifungals (eg, ketoconazole), macrolide antibiotics (eg, erythromycin), or protease inhibitors (eg, ritonavir) because they may increase the risk of estradiol's side effects
- Barbiturates (eg, phenobarbital), carbamazepine, hydantoins (eg, phenytoin), rifamycins (eg, rifampin), or St. John's wort because they may decrease estradiol's effectiveness
- Thyroid hormones (eg, levothyroxine) because their effectiveness may be decreased by estradiol
This may not be a complete list of all interactions that may occur. Ask your health care provider if estradiol may interact with other medicines that you take. Check with your health care provider before you start, stop, or change the dose of any medicine.
How to use estradiol:
Use estradiol as directed by your doctor. Check the label on the medicine for exact dosing instructions.
- An extra patient leaflet is available with estradiol. Talk to your pharmacist if you have questions about this information.
- To use, tear off a single applicator, separate the plastic wrap, and remove the applicator from the plastic wrap.
- Select the position for vaginal insertion that is most comfortable for you (lying on the bed, squatting, or standing with one leg on a stool).
- Place the finger of one hand on the applicator plunger. Use the other hand to gently and comfortably guide the applicator into the vagina. If the tablet falls out of the applicator before inserting the filled applicator, use a new applicator with a fresh tablet.
- Insert the tablet as far into the vagina as it can comfortably go without force, or until half of the applicator is in your vagina, whichever is less.
- After inserting the filled applicator, gently press the plunger until you hear a click and the plunger is fully depressed. This will eject the tablet inside your vagina. The tablet will dissolve slowly over several hours.
- After depressing the plunger, gently remove the applicator and throw it away. Do not reuse the applicator.
- You may use estradiol at any time of the day. However, you should use it at the same time of day each time you use it.
- Eating grapefruit or drinking grapefruit juice may increase the risk of estradiol's side effects. Talk to your doctor before including grapefruit or grapefruit juice in your diet while you are taking estradiol.
- If you miss a dose of estradiol, use it as soon as possible. If it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and go back to your regular dosing schedule. Do not use 2 doses at once.
Ask your health care provider any questions you may have about how to use estradiol.
Important safety information:
- Estradiol may increase the risk of stroke, heart attack, blood clots, high blood pressure, or similar problems. The risk may be greater if you smoke.
- Estradiol may cause dark skin patches on your face (melasma). Exposure to the sun may make these patches darker, and you may need to avoid prolonged sun exposure and sunlamps. Consult your doctor regarding the use of sunscreens and protective clothing.
- Tell your doctor or dentist that you take estradiol before you receive any medical or dental care, emergency care, or surgery. If you will be having surgery or will be confined to a chair or bed for a long period of time (eg, a long plane flight), notify your doctor at least 4 to 6 weeks beforehand. You may need to stop taking estradiol or take other special precautions for a period of time.
- If you wear contact lenses and you develop problems with them, contact your doctor.
- Diabetes patients - Estradiol may affect your blood sugar. Check blood sugar levels closely. Ask your doctor before you change the dose of your diabetes medicine.
- Estradiol may interfere with certain lab tests. Be sure your doctor and lab personnel know you are using estradiol.
- Lab tests, including physical exams, cholesterol levels, and blood pressure, may be performed while you use estradiol. You should have breast and pelvic exams and a Pap test at least once a year. You should also have periodic mammograms as determined by your doctor. These tests may be used to monitor your condition or check for side effects. Be sure to keep all doctor and lab appointments.
- Follow your doctors instructions for examining your breasts, and report any lumps immediately.
- Talk with your doctor regularly (eg, every 3 to 6 months) about whether you need to continue taking estradiol.
- Use estradiol with caution in the ELDERLY; they may be more sensitive to its effects.
- Estradiol is not approved for use in CHILDREN; safety and effectiveness in children have not been confirmed.
- PREGNANCY and BREAST-FEEDING: Do not use estradiol if you are pregnant. If you think you may be pregnant, contact your doctor right away. Estradiol is found in breast milk. If you are or will be breast-feeding while you use estradiol, check with your doctor. Discuss any possible risks to your baby.
Possible side effects of estradiol:
All medicines may cause side effects, but many people have no, or minor, side effects. Check with your doctor if any of these most COMMON side effects persist or become bothersome:
Seek medical attention right away if any of these SEVERE side effects occur:
Breast pain or tenderness; diarrhea; hair loss; headache; mild fluid retention; mild nausea or vomiting; spotting or breakthrough bleeding; stomach cramps or bloating.

Controlled Delivery Systems for Proteins Based on Poly(Lactic/Glycolic Acid) Microspheres

This paper describes an investigation of the use of poly(lactic/glycolic acid) polymers for long-term delivery of high molecular weight, water-soluble proteins. Poly(lactic/glycolic acid) (PLGA) microspheres, containing (fluorescein isothiocyanate)-labeled bovine serum albumin and (fluorescein isothiocyanate)-labeled horseradish peroxidase, were prepared by a modified solvent evaporation method using a double emulsion. The microspheres were spherical with diameters of 55–95 µm and encapsulated more than 90% of the protein. The preparation method was gentle and maintained enzyme activity and protein solubility. Stability studies showed that the encapsulation of an enzyme inside PLGA microspheres can protect them from activity loss. When not placed inside PLGA microspheres, (fluorescein isothiocyanate)-labeled horseradish peroxidase lost 80% of its activity in solution at 37°C in a few days, whereas inside the PLGA microspheres it retained more than 55% of its activity after 21 days of incubation at 37°C. In vitro release studies revealed that different release profiles (i.e., near-constant or biphasic) and release rates can be achieved by simply modifying factors in the preparation procedure such as mixing rate and volume of inner water and organic phases. Degradation studies by scanning electron microscopy and gel-permeation chromatography suggested that the mechanism responsible for protein release is mainly through matrix erosion.

David Johnstone is considered one of the most creative and interesting string players in the Iberian peninsula today, combining a career as a wide-ranging cellist with composition. He shows a great versatility which enables him to work and participate in many, and very varied musical activities. He is a member of the international concert trio "B3 CLASSIC", winners of a grand prix in the Chamber Music section of the Pierre Lantier International competition (Paris), and CDs for Warner Music. Although British by birth and formally working in British orchestras (Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, London Concert Orchestra, English String Orchestra etc.) he has, for over a decade, been principal cellist of the Orquesta Sinfónica de Navarra' of Spain.
He is a composer with a specialization for string instruments and/or lighter classical musical writing. His original music has been heard in more than 30 countries. Many published works by Creighton's Collection (www.cccd.co.uk), his own web also includes many free downloads of original scores, 150 transcriptions for cellists, and numerous articles relating to general musical themes and others more specifically for the Cello. All downloads are always FREE. There is a new Directory of some 600 Famous Historical cellists, and in 2010 free audio MP3 downloads of virtuoso and other cello repertoire will be brought forward - most not available in any other web page.
His latest original compositions include The Four Seasons' for Solo Violin and String Orchestra, a Pop-Classic Cello Concerto, an Accordion concerto, a Double Concertante for Solo Violin, solo Cello and orchestra, many individual String Quartet pieces based on European regions, and a great number of works for the Accordion repertoire (especially for the medium-level students). He also specializes in writing String Orchestral pieces that are well within the capabilities of youth and conservatoire orchestras. Within the cello world, his manual Cadenzas and Cadences', and the great variety of published well playable' virtuoso solo cello pieces, are considered some of the most valuable contemporary contributions in this field.
