A. Usually students take one level per 15-week semester. Students who want to matriculate to SBU must pass the advanced level (IEC 104) with a B or better. Students at lower levels who pass the TOEFL while attending the IEC will be admitted as undergraduates once they finish their current IEC level.
Q. Can I take an undergraduate credit course while at the IEC?

Math and science courses are not acceptable.
Q. How do I get conditional admission?
A. First, you should apply to Undergraduate Admissions (UGA) directly and you must meet all academic and financial criteria for admission. Students who do not meet the English proficiency requirement may be offered conditional admission if they attend the Intensive English Center. Students with scores of 70-79 iBT score or 5.5 IELTS score should apply for the 15-week fall or 15-week spring semester. Students with scores of 78 or 79 iBT score (no IELTS equivalent) can apply for the 6-week summer session. Stony Brook does not offer conditional admission to students with NO TOEFL or IELTS score. Students who successfully complete the advanced IEC level with a grade B or better, will be cleared for undergraduate matriculation.
Q. How can I enter the University when I finish IEC?
A. By completing the advanced level of IEC with a B or better for undergraduate admission or an A- for graduate admission (NOTE: Students are advised to check with particular graduate programs if they can submit an IEC recommendation in leiu of a TOEFL score.)
While attending the IEC, students are given the opportunity to attend a general information meeting arranged with the Admissions Office to explain the undergraduate application process. In this meeting, any student who would like to apply to the University after the IEC will learn what requirements and documents are needed for undergraduate acceptance.
Q. Where do I get the health forms?
A. Health forms can be found on the IEC website or directly downloaded from the Student Health Center website at http://studentaffairs.stonybrook.edu/shs/forms.shtml.

If you are under 18 years old, a parent or guardian must sign the forms.
Q. Where should I send the health forms?
A. Please remember to keep a copy of your forms for your records and put your Stony Brook ID on all forms before sending. Forms can be sent using one of the following addresses:
Mail: Director, Student Health Services, Stony Brook University, Stony Brook, NY 11794-3191
Fax: (631) 632-6936
Email: firstname.lastname@example.com
Q. Can I bring the health forms to orientation?
A. The Student Health Center prefers that the forms be sent at least 2 weeks prior to your orientation date. This way if anything is missing, it can be taken care of while you are still in your home country with your own doctor and still have access to all of your health records. If you bring them with you, because of privacy laws, we will not be able to send them for you and you will need to bring them to the Infirmary yourself once you arrive.
Q. Is Stony Brook University's health insurance mandatory?
A. The State of New York requires all students who are not US citizens or permanent US residents to be enrolled in and billed for the International Student Health Insurance Plan and evacuation and repatriation.

Q. Is it mandatory to live on campus?
A. Yes. The University requires all IEC students to live on-campus in the dormitory. We understand that some students have personal circumstances which may warrant an exception to this requirement. To apply for an exception, please email email@example.com to explain your situation.
A. All conditional students will be assigned a room in the undergraduate colleges. All other students will be assigned rooms wherever there is space. Please check out the Campus Residences website for more information.
Q. Can I pick my dormitory or roommate?
A. New students are assigned to rooms based on availability. Continuing students can participate in room selection and can request a particular roommate. The Office of Campus Residences is responsible for the assignments and they make every effort to assign roommates who speak a different native language in the double rooms. Please check out the Campus Residences website for more information.
Q. Can I cook in my dorm room?
A. Some of the dormitories have cooking facilities, some do not. Those with kitchens can be used by students to cook, but pots, pans, and other kitchen accessories are not provided. Please check out the Campus Residences website for more information.
Q. Do I need to buy a meal plan?
A. If you are assigned a room in a non-cooking dormitory, the meal plan is mandatory and it is automatically charged to your student account. You have the option to change the amount of the meal plan in the beginning of the semester. You can also buy a meal plan even if you live in a dorm that does not require it, such as the West Apartments. Please go to the Campus Dining website for more information.

A. Every residence hall has a wireless network available for student use. The wireless network is available from every student room. Each student has to register their device(s) to access either the wireless or wired networks.
Q. Does the IEC plan social events for students?
A. Each semester, the IEC plans social events and field trips for students. We usually plan trips to New York City and Montauk Lighthouse as well as other points of interest on Long Island. Parties and other social events are planned throughout each semester around American holidays, such as Halloween. IEC students have access to a large number of clubs and organizations available to all Stony Brook students. Please check out the Clubs and Recreations link from the SBU website.
Q. How long can I stay in the country after graduation with an F-1 visa?
A. 60 days. Before the 60 days is up, you will need to either enroll in another full-time program or leave the country.
Q. Can I get a job while at the IEC?
A. No. IEC students have non-matriculated status and are not authorized to work on or off campus.
Q. Can I get a social security number while at the IEC?
A. Students are not eligible for a social security number unless they have written proof of a job offer. Since IEC students are not authorized to work, you are not eligible for a social security number.
Q. Can I get a driver's license?
A. Please go to the New York State Department of Motor Vehicle (DMV) website for more information.
Q. Will I meet American students?
A. Living on campus is the best opportunity for students to make friends with other students from the United States and other countries. IEC students can practice conversation skills by meeting with American students every afternoon after class at the IEC office. The conversation partners are SBU undergraduates who provide help with speaking, listening, and learning about American culture. There is also a large number of clubs and organizations available to all Stony Brook students. Please check out the Clubs and Recreations link from the SBU website.
Q. How can I transfer to another school?
A. Students on an F-1 visas who decide to transfer to another school need to contact the intended school and ask for a "Transfer Report." This form is completed by the IEC and sent to the international office at your new school. Students are also required to complete a "Transfer Out" form to give permission for us to release your SEVIS record to your new school. You will only be released in SEVIS when an acceptance letter from the new school is submitted. We can only release your record to one school, so you must be sure.

Museum Internship Program
Internships available in 2013 click here
For the televenth consecutive year, the U.S. Embassy in Lima is undertaking a series of programs to support cultural preservation under the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) for Cultural Patrimony between Peru and the United States. In support of the MOU, the Embassy promotes an internship program for American graduate students of museum studies and conservation programs to be held from July through August 2013
The objective of this program is to enable well-qualified graduate students the opportunity to do field research in Lima and Lambayeque. It will also support museums that house rich art collections, but are greatly in need of skilled professionals.
These internships will provide an excellent opportunity for Peruvian and American colleagues to exchange ideas on new techniques related to conservation, marketing, and exhibition planning, with long-term possibilities for collaboration. Please find more information here. (PDF 1.07MB)
Promoting Culture
Since 1997, when the United States and Peru signed a Memorandum of Understanding on Preservation of Cultural Patrimony, the U.S. Embassy has engaged in various programs aimed at assisting the Government of Peru in its efforts to preserve its cultural patrimony.
Previous experiences include:
Restoring Colonial Paintings
Gabriel Dunn and Suzanne Morris worked this year on the restoration of two colonial paintings in the Monastery of Santa Teresa during July and August.
Suzanne Morris restored a 17th century canvas titled The Holy Trinity and the Revelation of St. Augustine and Gabriel and a 18th century painting titled "The Virgin Santa Teresa Carmen". According to Suzanne, the overall condition of the painting she was working on was poor. There were multiple areas of loss and tears to the canvas, flaking and tinting of the paint, and failing tear repairs with darkening overpaint. The surface contained an amber brown stain along it right and left side as well as a heavy layer of dirt and grime. Please refer to the attached condition map (powerpoint) for the location of structural conditions.
Gabriel Dunn's painting was in fair to poor condition overall, presenting dirt, grime, and holes. The painting had been removed from its original structure and folded multiple times.
Suzanne Morris is currently enrolled in the Getty Conservation Masters program at UCLA. Gabriel Dunn is studying a Master of Arts in Art Conservation at S.U.N.Y. Buffalo State College Buffalo, N.Y.
Cataloguing at the Sican Museum
Amanda Gannaway did an internship at the Sican Museum: "My role in the Project as Cataloger entailed selecting unregistered items from the collection to be cataloged and creating a ficha (record) or catalog entry describing the physical qualities of each.
The fichas used by the Museum record measurements (weight, various dimensions depending on form and Munsell color codes), a verbal description of the ancient manufacturing techniques employed in the artifact's creation, a detailed narrative account of decorative and iconographic characteristics, the state of the object's conservation and also include various photographs.
Through the process of composing and reviewing each entry with Museum Curator Victor Curay, I improved my language skills and learned an enormous amount about Andean ceramics in general. During my time at the Museum I also participated in discussions regarding the establishment of lexical and formatting standards as well as general organizational tactics for the storage facility."

News 12 This Morning / Tuesday, Feb. 21, 2012
AUGUSTA, Ga. -- The Army is trying to recruit a new generation of young soldiers as the military pulls out from decade-long wars overseas. In order to help with their effort, they are using aviation simulators to attract attention and gain interest from young recruits.
The fun and games inside the $1.9 million army aviation semi could one day lead to a career for some students on the Augusta State University campus.
"This is an actual Kiowa cockpit," said Sgt. First Class Nathaniel Rogers, who gives students a full tour when they enter the semi.
That cockpit Rogers showed was cut in half and installed onto the mobile simulator with an Apache air assault game.
"I thought it can't be hard landing, but sure enough, I crashed trying to land," Rogers said.
Sean Kramer is already looking to become a nurse within the Army.
"Looking forward to try and go airborne so I figured might as well see what they had to offer over here," Kramer said.
Everything inside the semi from the predator drone simulator, which lets students take off and land at the Augusta Regional Airport, is designed to show students how the Army uses technology.
"As the Army is starting its downsizing from previous years of war, we are trying to attract highest quality of students," said Lt. Colonel Keith Cantrell with ASU's Department of military sciences.
The opportunities to have school paid for, to have a salaried job and to get the experience that translates over to a civilian career are what attracts students.
"A lot of kids can get it on their XBox 360. When they come in here some have already played it," Rogers added.
For Kramer, they are familiar tools and games to attract new recruits to a new generation of jobs. The semi parked at ASU on Tuesday is open to the public until 3 p.m. Its next stop will be Burke County High School.

Controversial actress Rosanna Roces has had a rocky relationship with Senator Bong Revilla and his wife Lani Mercado ever since Rosanna's daughter Grace Adriano had a son with Jolo Revilla, the son of Senator Bong and Lani. But on the set of the teleserye May Bukas Pa where she is set to make a guest appearance, Rosanna told ABS-CBN.com that she is now on civil terms with the Revillas. "Okay naman kami. Nagkakausap din, minsan text. Pagdating sa apo pinapaalam naman nila sa akin lahat. Pero kapag may mga hindi ako nagugustuhan tinetext ko agad sa kanila. Mabuti na 'yung dinidiretso mo kaysa sa ibang tao pa nila malaman."
Rosanna further revealed that the reason her grandson Jose Gabriel or Budoy was absent during Lani's grand birthday celebration last April 13 was that they never received any invitation. "Hindi siya pumunta. Hindi naman siya imbitado. Ganun lang kasimple 'yun. 'Wag niyo nang palakihin (laughs)."
In her recent interview on The Buzz, Rosanna disproved claims that she was the one who started the rumor about Senator Bong being the real father of Jennylyn Mercado's baby. She said that she will never disparage the name of Budoy's grandfather, and that since she and the Revillas are related because of Budoy, it is only best that they keep a peaceful relationship.
At the age of 36, Rosanna already has three grandchildren courtesy of her kids Grace and Onyok. In April of last year, Onyok and his girlfriend had their son named Leon, and just last March, Grace gave birth to daughter Maja, her child with Palestinian fiancé Philly Amir. The former sex goddess confessed to ABS-CBN.com that she finds being a grandmother of three a very challenging job. "Okay naman ang mga apo ko. Lumalaki na si Budoy. Medyo seloso lang ngayon kasi may mga kapatid na siya. Kaya na rin hindi ko masyadong ma-spoil 'yung bunso kasi may nagseselos na panganay. Mahirap din pero bilang lola binalanse ko rin."

Winter Woodworking in Somerset
This last weekend, February 21-24, would begin as usual with a Thursday flight to the next woodworking show venue and a bit of exploration prior to setting up my booth for a Friday show opening. A day of some really stark contrasts began as the plane approached the Newark Airport. It started with one of the most beautiful views of New York City as we all but followed the Hudson River past midtown Manhattan, then the site of 911 and Battery Park, and finally Ellis Island and Lady Liberty before banking right for our landing. From this vantage point, the city looked so serene, yet ready for business. A mere 45 minutes later, as I drove into the area around Sandy Hook, the landscape changed dramatically. I wanted to see where the "perfect storm" had slammed the region a few months earlier and never expected to see the magnitude of destruction still so evident months later. As I continued south to Seaside Park, some of the images where all but overwhelming. I can only imagine how frustrating it must be to have to wait for the help it will take to rebuild homes and lives and livelihoods. But I saw the workers and I heard the sounds of saws and hammering. There is much to do but the effort has started.
Our show in Somerset opened to one of the best starts this season. The atrium area of the exhibit hall was filled to overflowing with attendees well ahead of the opening bell on Friday. And they would have a lot to see. The entire floor space of this venue was covered by retail booths and educational areas. We also had a number of companies selling "heavy metal" with displays of Jet, Powermatic, Ricon and more.
For those who still chose to use muscle power, there were impressive displays of hand planes of all prices and ages. The Crafts Antique Tool Club of New Jersey even had a peddle powered New Rogers jig saw for sale in addition to a huge collection of unique woodworking tools and artifacts.
Many of the clubs attending the show held mini-classes on a variety of topics. The Central New Jersey Woodworkers Association had, among other sessions, a handsaw sharpening clinic where Bob Rotaieski showed a technique that was so easy that even a child could do it. And did!
Our Magazine has had a few articles over the years on Kaleidoscopes though the one I saw at the Garden State Marquetry Society was definitely over the top. This was not only beautifully crafted but every bit as functional as well. There were also many sessions covering bowl turning throughout the hall but Geoffrey Noden showed how to decorate the rim of that project with his Inlay Razor.
The Project Showcase had some very nice submissions this last weekend also. Our first place award went to Glen Peterson for his "Model Train Set". Based on a Reading Company Train this set was composed of 1403 hand crafted parts and over 300 hours of construction time.
An extremely imaginative cocktail table called "The Gathering" by Thomas Schlack took second place and was my personal favorite. Third place went to Dan Peterson for his "Chess/Checker Board" of spalted Maple, Walnut and Cherry. Each of the winners received a tool from the Bosch Tool Company and Glenn's train will be judged in the final competition in Atlanta at the end of this woodworking season. All entrants also took home a goody bag from the show.
All in all, the weekend was very successful thanks to the hard work of our new owner, Bryce Beermann, and his exceptional crew. Each weekend's offerings seem to outdo the one before and we expect the same when we next travel to Columbus on March 1-3. We will be at the Ohio Expo Center in the Voinovich Trade Center building. It would be a good idea to preregister for this event at www.thewoodworkingshows.com to avoid the crowds at the door. This will also be a large show with plenty to see and I hope that you'll find time to stop in at the WOOD Magazine booth while you're there where I'll be talking about applying that perfect finish. Bring your questions and pull up a chair. You'll be among friends.
'Til then, I'll see you on the road.

After testing and considering over 30 actresses for the lead role of Katniss Everdeen in the upcoming adaptation of The Hunger Games, Lionsgate is looking to cast Jennifer Lawrence (Best Actress Oscar nominee for Winter's Bone) in the part.
Based on Suzanne Collins' series of young adult novels, Katniss is a teenager in a dystopian future of North America where she is picked to compete in a televised fight to the death called "The Hunger Games." Lionsgate and director Gary Ross have been looking at a variety of actresses from ages 14 to 20, with Deadline reporting that Lawrence has become the frontrunner above the final contenders of fellow Academy Award nominees Hailee Steinfeld (True Grit) and Abigail Breslin (Little Miss Sunshine), both two of the younger contenders at 14, and Emily Browning (Sucker Punch), who, like Lawrence, is in her twenties.
However, while Lionsgate may have made their choice, Lawrence has yet to receive an offer. THR reports that Lawrence has "huge fans at the studio, but there is no final decision and certainly no offer."
After Winter's Bone, Lawrence has become an in-demand actress, appearing as Mystique in the upcoming X-Men prequel X-Men: First Class and is also lining up a role in Oliver Stone's upcoming drama, Savages.
The Hunger Games was adapted by screenwriter Billy Ray (State of Play) and is set to open on March 23, 2012.

Transfering babies
I was looking at my 110 gallon tank today and saw a baby platy in my tank. He was swimming around just fine but not hiding in any of my plants. I didn't want him to get eaten so I was going to transfer him to my one gallon tank, but I accidently pinched him in the net and glass. he died and my other fish ate him. I feel really bad and was wondering what I could do next time. how would you transfer him to another tank?
Hmmmm... I've always just netted mine. You could try using two nets; use one to "herd" the fish into the other.
I would just provide more plants to allow the fry to survive. Livebearer fry are agile swimmers.:wink2:
we use a turkey baster to suck up the fry as long as there tiny it works really well...
I wish I knew about the turkey baster before "The incident". Thats a great Idea thanks a lot.
Heh, that's an awesome idea! I actually had the same problem once with a guppy that I pinched dead. I know how you feel... :cry:

I use a bathroom Dixie cup (doubled, 3oz size. When I had my White Cloud Frye they were so tiny and didn't reflect yet I was afraid I won't be able to tell if I got them out of the baster.
I double the cups so they will stand up a little longer. I place the cup in the water gradually until completely submerged and sneak up under them and slowly bring to surface. Has worked really well for me.
I haven't tried it with my Platy frye,they have been hiding in the plants so well I discovered I have 4 today instead of 2. Only hold back possibly with the platy is that they are much larger and therefore much faster.

Victoria Beckham may have been dubbed "too posh to push" by the British media, but the busy mom-of-four can breastfeed with the best of 'em.
In an interview with The Guardian, Victoria, who welcomed baby Harper Seven last year, says, "I spent the whole summer with my boobs out, breastfeeding. I loved it. It was heaven."
The designer mom, who also has boys Brooklyn, Romeo and Cruz with her husband David Beckham, is quick to gush about her very adorable daughter: "She's such a good baby. I love all my children exactly the same, of course, but the boys were hard work. They had colic, they had acid reflux. They never slept. Brooklyn screamed at the top of his lungs, every 20 minutes, 24 hours a day."
Cut to a follow-up interview 3 months later, when Victoria arrives late to the morning meeting because Harper "has stopped sleeping." Ah, motherhood. Just when you think you've got it all figured it…
Did you enjoy breastfeeding?

Sadly, I agree with this. They slowly began fading out the Game Corner beginning with the European copies of Platinum, later changing slot machines to Voltorb Flip in HG/SS, and then removing it entirely in the Fifth Gen. I doubt there's a chance we'll be seeing the Game Corner make a comeback anytime soon. Unlike most people though, I actually liked the Voltorb Flip and wouldn't mind seeing it again.
I would, however, love to see them introduce mini-games though or an arcade-like area as mentioned above. Being made for the 3DS, there's a lot they can do with that if they wanted to.

Sometimes after losses, especially on the road, Philadelphia Union manager John Hackworth will say that his team deserved better. Other times, he'll lament how a bad call turned the tide of the game.
But following a 1-0 road setback to the San Jose Earthquakes in a game that started on Sunday and ended on Monday in the East Coast, Hackworth didn't try to present an optimistic outlook or make any excuses. Instead, he blasted the team's performance, calling it "unacceptable."
Why was the Union manager so upset after the game? And where does this loss leave Philly in a very crowded playoff picture? Let's take a look in this week's "Inside Doop."
Three thoughts about Sunday's game
1. Amazingly, the Union drew their 11th red card of the season when San Jose's Rafael Baca was sent off in the 57th minute following his second yellow. But, in what's been a troubling trend, the Union failed to assert their dominance despite playing up a man and couldn't erase a 1-0 deficit. The Union did have a couple of decent scoring chances -- namely, Sheanon Williams' header off the post -- but still couldn't capitalize on the open space in the midfield that Baca's ejection should have created. Sadly for Philly, whether they're up a man or not, those midfield woes have also become something of a troubling trend.
2. Adding insult to injury was the fact that Shea Salinas scored the game's only goal, a classy finish in the 15th minute. It's been nearly three years since Salinas left the Union after playing in Philly during the team's 2010 expansion season. But the combination of how he left (he said he was told by former manager Peter Nowak that he would be protected in the 2010 expansion draft but was left exposed and then taken) and the fact that he's turned into a nice player away from Philly probably still has some Union fans thinking about his departure. Both Salinas and Justin Mapp -- another winger the Union lost in an expansion draft -- would look pretty good at PPL Park right now.
3. Credit must be given to the Union backline for getting through Amobi Okugo's two-game suspension with just one goal allowed. After shutting out Montreal and Golden Boot leader Marco Di Vaio last weekend, they were similarly able to slow down 2012 Golden Boot winner Chris Wondolowski and the rest of the 'Quakes. It certainly could have been worse without Okugo, who had played every minute at center back this season until his suspension for a red card and yellow card accumulation.
Three questions for the week ahead
1. The Union are winless in their last four games and Hackworth is clearly upset. But will that mean he shakes up a lineup that has been pretty much the same over the past month? He's been fairly consistent with his lineups so it's doubtful he'll do anything too drastic. But the cries for playing a more creative midfielder like Kleberson or Roger Torres will almost certainly grow louder this week.
2. The positive news for the Union is that they are unbeaten this year following a loss, boasting an impressive 4-0-4 record. Can they keep that going for Saturday's home game against the Houston Dynamo at PPL Park (7:30 p.m., The Comcast Network)? A win for the Union would be a big swing as Houston is one of three other teams fighting with them for one of the last two playoff spots in the Eastern Conference.
3. How much longer will Philly's offensive slump last? As a team, the Union have scored just once in their last 375 minutes, with zero goals coming from their strikers. With every game that passes, the pressure will continue to grow on leading scorer Jack McInerney, who's now gone a whopping 11 games without scoring. The Union will also need some more from Conor Casey, who now has been held scoreless in four consecutive contests.
Stat of the week
The Earthquakes attempted 16 corner kicks on Sunday, which is tied for the fifth highest total in MLS history. The record was set by the New York/New Jersey MetroStars (now the Red Bulls), who attempted 19 in one game in 1999.
Quote of the week
"We've got to hold ourselves accountable to a higher standard than we did tonight. That level of play is unacceptable for this club and this organization, all the way around."
– John Hackworth, following Philly's 1-0 loss to San Jose
Player of the week
Not many Union players were at their best Sunday but Sheanon Williams had another solid game, filling in admirably for Okugo at center back before switching to right back later in the contest and providing good service. And he was very unlucky his second-half header didn't go in.

Before, now, after pics...
Here are some before and now pics of the my 20 gallon long tank that is home to the new rams. I will be changeing it again later today or tomorrow as these plants I ordered were suspose to fit a 20 gallon long according to the seller but these will out grow this tank so I will be replaceing them with some I ordered from sweetaquatics when they arrive today and these will be moveing into the 55 gallon. I really like the way it looks but hope I will like it after I change it later. I will post after pictures of the next look when I get them inlater today or tomorrow.
Just be sure after uprooting plant's and re-planting with other's that you perform about 50 percent water change.
Sometimes uprooting plant's and disturbing substrate,can cause ammonia levels to increase temporarily and rams are quite sensitive to any levels of ammonia or nitrites.
Thank you I will make sure I do that.
And here is the now picture from today I hope you guys like it and if you have any suggestions on makeing it better please feel free to tell me:
I am glad you like it those little plants are crytocoryne parva plants.
Amanda, the tank is beautiful! Nice job.
Thank you very much I did some rearranging in my 55 gallon as well and will post pictures of it tomorrow.

Germany proves a gem for Grand UK
24th April 2014
Grand UK Holidays has added two new escorted tours of Germany to its range of European holidays for summer 2014.
The operator also features several cruise options on Germany's rivers, and three new river cruise itineraries for 2014 have been added to cater for demand.
The two new coach tours are 'From the Rhine to Bavaria – Pearls of Scenic Germany' and 'Secret Bavaria & Cruising the River Danube'.
The 'Pearls of Scenic Germany' holiday includes the tranquil woodlands of the Black Forest, a Rhine cruise, and the stunning fairytale Neuschwanstein Castle (pictured).
It is £699pp for eight days on a half-board basis.
'Secret Bavaria & Cruising the River Danube' includes the romantic city of Passau, as well as Cesky Krumlov in the Czech Republic and Linz in Austria.
It costs £639pp for eight days on a half-board basis.
The three new river cruises are 'Cruising the Great Rivers of Germany'; 'Cruising the River Rhine to Switzerland'; and 'The Rhine in Flames'.
The 'Great Rivers' itinerary takes customers through the spectacular Rhine Gorge and on to the River Main to Frankfurt, and onwards to the River Necker – Germany's best-kept secret – and then the Moselle River and the historic town of Cochem.
It costs from £899pp for nine days, on a full-board basis.
The second new itinerary explores the rivers Rhine and Moselle, and takes holidaymakers to Strasbourg in France and Basel and Lucerne in Switzerland.
It costs from £999pp for ten days, on a full-board basis.
Our special 'Rhine in Flames' cruise combines scenic sailing on the glorious middle Rhine with an unforgettable 'Night of the Thousand Fires' at Oberwesel as our ship sails with the flotilla amid a fantastic musical firework display.
It is £849pp for eight days on a full-board basis.
Sales director Harold Burke said: "The scenic landscapes, historic cities and cultural attractions of Germany mean the country is always popular with our clients.
"We have added these new tours and river cruises to cater for the demand for fresh options in addition to our traditional favourites in Germany.
"We anticipate that the 'Rhine in Flames' will be particularly popular as it offers the classic sights of the Rhine along with an unforgettable display of fireworks and music on the river."

News 12 at 6 o'clock / Thursday, May 23, 2013
AUGUSTA, Ga. (WRDW) -- Christina Lokey dodges bullets every day as she fights her way across Reynolds Street in downtown Augusta.
"All of us at work, we cross here at 5 p.m, you know, we might get halfway in the road before we have to stop to let cars go by and then finish crossing the road because they don't stop," she said.
Last week, Lokey was walking to her car when she almost got hit.
She says the driver was driving too fast and not paying attention.
"He had to slam on his brakes, but he was about that far from hitting me," she said.
After that, Lokey was fed up and wanted something to be done.
"I immediately went to work and sent an email to the City of Augusta," Lokey said.
Days later, they responded with new signs warning drivers to pay attention.
"They need to be brighter, bigger and absolutely in front of the crosswalk before the cars even get there," Lokey said.
On Thursday, News 12 caught many drivers failing to stop for Lokey and even our cameras.
Lokey's co-workers stood and watched as cars zoomed by not paying any attention to the law.
"This is a business district, people walk every day, they cross every day," she said.
Those people have jobs and families, things they don't want to lose.
"You definitely don't want to lose your life and your family suffer because someone wasn't paying attention while they were driving," Lokey said.
Something she hopes will change very quickly before it's too late.

Castelli has a rich history dating back multiple decades in the cycling community. In the 1940s, Armando Castelli, an Italian tailor, designed clothes for Gino Bartali, a famed cyclist. Designing clothes for Gino Bartali proved to be the catalyst for Armando Castelli's career. As a result of designing for a famous cyclist, one of Bartali's cycling rivals, Fausto Coppi, asked Armando Castelli to design a jersey that would make him faster in competitions. Castelli agreed and produced the first-ever silk cycling jersey.
Ever since, Castelli has become a true pioneer within cycling clothing production. Armando Castelli constantly thought about how he could improve his products which led to adding special details such as collars, pockets, and zippers. In 1977, Castelli made another innovation: the first Lycra cycling short. With a constantly evolving company, Castelli continues to create superior cycling clothing that boasts the latest technology.

Epilepsy FAQs
I have epilepsy, so what should I do?
Seek out care from someone who specializes in epilepsy and seizure care. Epilepsy is typically a life-long condition often associated with other illnesses. An individual is likely to benefit from a team approach that will comprehensively take care of them. Depending on the severity of the condition, different levels of care are often needed. Given the potential impact of having ongoing seizures on one's health and quality of life, it is important to gain an appropriate understanding of the different options available to better manage your condition. There have been many new investigative tools and therapies that have emerged and continue to emerge that can potentially benefit you. It should be understood that the goal of treatment is NO SEIZURES and NO SIDE EFFECTS from the therapy. That goal may be difficult to achieve, but you should strive for it. The earlier there is clarification about what are the risks and benefits of different options available as well the risks of ongoing seizures, the greater the possibility of having a more significant impact on the health and quality of life.
What is a seizure?
A seizure is abnormal electrical activity of the brain that is associated with a change in behavior, experience, or both. It occurs when enough brain cells (i.e. neurons) get abnormally activated all at once. A seizure typically lasts 20-180 seconds or so, but may be longer or shorter. Seizures are usually unpredictable in their timing, but there may be situations where the probability of seizure occurrence can be higher than at other times (e.g. alcohol use, lack of sleep, stopping anti-epileptic drug therapy, etc.). Usually, seizures stop by themselves with a gradual return of awareness, with the length of time depending on the severity of the seizure. If a seizure does not stop by itself after about 5 minutes, then an emergency medical service should be called.
What causes seizures?
That is a difficult question to answer. All we know is that there are certain conditions or injuries that are likely to increase the chances that a person will develop seizures. Genetics play a role in susceptibility, but the exact nature of this impact is not clear. Broadly speaking, any condition either developmental (namely, genetic predisposition or some insult to the brain before it is fully mature) or acquired that affects the brain directly or indirectly can result in a seizure. Therefore, there are many conditions that are associated with epilepsy (e.g. stroke, brain tumors, vascular malformations, cortical malformations, head injuries, infections, and many more). Therefore, seizures can often be the first sign that there is some other underlying condition that is affecting the brain; that is why it is essential that a comprehensive evaluation be performed by a doctor who has expertise in helping persons with epilepsy, also called an epileptologist.
Once I take my medicines, will my seizures be cured?
While anti-epileptic drugs (AED) lower the probability of having a seizure, it does not guarantee it. Approximately 50% of people with epilepsy will have their seizures under full control with the first appropriate AED that is tried and another 15-25% will also have full control with a second appropriate AED. However, there is about a one-third to one-fourth chance, that a person will not achieve full seizure control with AED therapy no matter which combination of drugs are tried. This condition, where seizures keep happening no matter what medication is tried, is called "medically-refractory" epilepsy. People diagnosed with medically-refractory epilepsy should seek a surgical consultation, because in some circumstances surgery can result in full seizure control. As epilepsy is a very variable disease and different individuals have their unique circumstances, the actual probabilities vary depend on the specific situation.
Can I stop taking my medications once my seizures are under control?
Anti-epileptic drug (AED) therapy is life-long therapy until stated otherwise. If one "outgrows" their seizure disorder, then under careful supervision of a doctor who has expertise in treating epilepsy, reduction of medications can be done as a gradual process with a wait and watch approach to determine if seizures recur. Certain tests can help determine if the risk of seizures still exists and it would be unwise to reduce or stop AEDs. In a way, AEDs are like blood pressure medications – for example, if your blood pressure is "normal" when you are taking your blood pressure pills, it does not mean it will be normal if you suddenly stop them. On the other hand, AEDs are not like antibiotics in that seizures don't go away after taking a course of medications. Often, the main role of AEDs is to reduce the spread of seizures, and by doing so, AEDs reduce seizure frequency AND seizure severity.
Can I drive if I have epilepsy?
As long as your seizures are not fully controlled, there is a rule of thumb that you should follow - do not participate in any activity that exposes you or someone else to a risk of significant injury if you were to have a spell (i.e. seizure or event). Driving requires you to have full control of your mental, sensory and motor faculties in order for you to do it safely, therefore you should not drive regardless of whether or not you have been told that you cannot. You have to use your common sense. Restriction of driving can have often have a significant impact on one's work and personal life, but the consequences of having a seizure while driving can be fatal - to you and others. Once it is determined by a physician who is treating you for your seizures, that your seizures are controlled, and then restrictions on your activities can be reduced or removed.
It is important to understand that just because you have started taking AED therapy after onset of your seizures does not mean that you can drive. There has to be a certain period of time (up to a year in some states by law or regulation) while you are on your therapy to determine if it is in actuality able to control your seizures. That will often depend on how often you have seizures before starting therapy. The less frequent your seizures, the longer it will take to determine if any intervention has had any impact on them. Therefore, there is an element of judgment involved before determining whether an individual can drive or not after having a single seizure in their life or if he/she has been determined to have epilepsy.

How does the finish on PBK furniture hold up?
My husband and I are looking at buying a Pottery Barn Kids crib and dresser/changing table. I am wondering how the finish stands up, both a dark stain or a white. I have seen mixed reviews on the PBK website, though more for the changing tables than for the cribs. Any advice?

I have mahogany finish PB furniture and the finish has not held up. It has lots of nicks that are lighter in color and I have tried wood stains to fill them with no success. We also have a set of white finish furniture (not PB) and that too chips and scratches. Your best best would be to go with something in a natural finish or get something that is solid wood.posted 07/18/2011 by a BabyCenter Member
My whole nursery is in pottery barn esspresso. The only thing that is not holding up is the front of the changing table from repeatedly leaning over it. But my mother and friends say that happens with all of them.posted 07/19/2011 by rachel0015

KEEWAH bakery mooncakes
There are a many stories surrounding the history of moon cakes and there relation to the Chinese Lunar Festival. During September, when the moon is in its apex, and shining its brightest, Chinese people around the world gather to celebrate the Autumn harvest and eat delicious Mooncake.
The most common cakes are filled with lotus seed paste or red bean paste. More recent styles are now made with mixed nuts, dates, pineapple, and different meats. Another interesting feature about moon cakes is the salted duck egg yolks you can find, baked whole, in the middle of the cakes. They are said to represent the different phases of the moon, so cakes will have up to four or sometimes five yolks! The yolks can be an acquired taste, but don't be afraid to try them, you may be surprised. So, what are Mooncakes?
Mooncakes are made from old recipes, and are generally difficult to make. Kee Wah Bakery has been making Mooncakes and other pastries for more then 100 years. Fresh pastries are the hallmark of Kee Wah, and the quality shows in everything they create. Moon cakes and wedding cakes are made daily, so you know when you order online, you get the freshest cakes, made with the highest quality ingredients.

Questions about Orientation?
Is Orientation required?
Yes, Orientation is required of ALL new students - but we've designed Orientation to be both fun and informative, so we're confident you'll WANT to be a part of it. Dates for Orientation are August 26-30 for first year students and August 27-30 for transfer students.
How do I know if I'm a "first year" or a "transfer" student?
First year students have not enrolled in any college or schooling since graduating from high school. If you've done post secondary classes - taking college classes while in high school - you are still considered a first year student.
Transfer students previously attended a different college OR have taken out any form of financial aid since graduating from high school.
If you're still not sure what you are, call Admissions to find out! 330-471-8145.
What time should I arrive on August 26 or 27?
First year students - August 26: Students living on campus (Residents) will check in from 8-11 a.m.; students commuting from home (Commuters) will check in from 10-11:30 a.m.in the Johnson Center for Worship and Fine Arts
Transfer students - August 27: Students living on campus (Residents) will check in from 3-4 p.m.-students commuting from home (Commuters) will check in from 4-5 p.m. in the Randall Campus Center/Bennett Lounge.
Do parents need to attend Orientation?
Malone University strongly encourages parents to attend the first day of Orientation. We believe it helps new students make a comfortable transition to college, and it also provides parents with valuable information about Malone - including advice on transitions for parents, too!
Is there a charge for attending?
No - there's no charge!
Where is check-in?
Check-in takes place in the Johnson Center, the entrance from Cleveland Avenue. There will be signs everywhere! (Find it with our interactive Campus Map.)
Why do I need to check in?
Students will receive their class assignments, mailbox information, and other important materials at this time.
I'm coming to campus earlier than August 26 (for a sport, band, or some other activity), so do I still need to check in on August 26?
Yes! Again, you'll be receiving important information, such as your class assignments. You'll also need to sign up for particular Orientation activities.
I will be living on campus. When can I move in?
After you have checked in at the Johnson Center) on August 26, you will check in at the desk in the main lobby of your residence hall and then begin moving into your room.
Will offices at Malone be open during Orientation?
Of course! We are excited for your arrival. Our staffs will be ready and waiting for you in Admissions, the Business Office, Center for Student Success, Financial Aid, the Bookstore, and the Mail Room.
May we buy textbooks during Orientation?
Sure! The University Bookstore will be open from 8:30 a.m. - 5 p.m.

Last week saw me put my beloved ASOS Performer Buckle Platforms in hibernation for a week in favour of more 'practical' attire – flat pumps. The reason behind this madness? I had to hot-foot it round the Christmassy streets of London to attend tons beauty and fashion launches! There was Neutrogena, Very.co.uk, Dune and something I look forward to every season (because I'm a style geek) the L'Oreal Paris Trends reveal! According to them next year we'll be donning a neon 'pop' of colour on our lips – think vibrant a sporty like at Lacoste and a fresh drench of pink a la the Diane von Furstenberg girls. And for hair, unleash your inner Bianca Jagger and get ready to re-work the 70′s a la Studio 54! Big, glossy, waved and sexy are the key words to be quoting to your hairdressers come 2011!
And tomorrow? Well tomorrow's jut a usual day in the office. Except wait… Oh yeah, I've got to swing by a swanky 'secret' location and interview Britain's most talked about, most beautiful star, who's definitely got the X Factor!! Watch this space….

Thank you for your answer! the DAY AFTER I posted this, I was given a ton of really nice, new, almost unused baby stuff by a woman who was then a stranger and is now a friend. Three items had been recalled so we're not using them. We're still deciding on car seats, but we're thinking either Britax or Chicco, and will be taking all the great advice we've gotten about getting a snap n' go instead of a travel system.posted 07/10/2011 by Amandadees82
Did you already buy your stuff? Here's what I have and have been happy with: -Chicco Keyfit car seat, would recommend snap and go stroller (buy it used), and not the cortina or any other chicco stroller. (not happy with my chicco trevi) - So far the only stroller I love is my Schwinn In Step jogging stroller (got free from neighbor) but doesn't fit in my car. I've used a bjorn, moby, wrapsody and now ergo to carry my baby around in stores/malls. I'm searching for my next stroller. -Crib- Graco Lauren $130 with $70 mattress at walmart (my LO only has only slept in it for naps since he was 5 months) Still sleeps in our bed. At first he slept in a contour changing pad in the middle of our bed. And we never used our bassinet/pack n play. - Summer Infant video baby monitor. (love it, worth the money) My advice, don't go overboard spending lots of money on anything until the baby is here and you see how and when you use everything. Keep it simple. At first all your baby needs is you!posted 07/10/2011 by rbensu1

The Temple City bribery/perjury/campaign finance fiasco
The mayor, a former mayor and a campaign fixer/suspected bagman who hoped to be on the council face some serious felony bribery/perjury charges after finally appearing in court Wednesday.
If you believe what the DA alleges, small-time greed drove these political hacks to basically extort a developer who may have been in over his head in the first place.
The truth of the matter is Temple City is probably not only local government corrupted by the easy cash that flows from developer's pockets. It's just that most developers aren't carrying around a pocket wire to record the transaction and burn the council. Here's an excerpt from our story on Boss Wilson and her crew:
LOS ANGELES – Temple City's mayor, its former mayor and a former City Council candidate were indicted Wednesday on felony charges of bribery, perjury and other counts related to a nine-month corruption probe into their dealings with a local developer.
The 21-count indictment was returned Monday by the Los Angeles County Grand Jury and unsealed Wednesday by Judge Patricia Schnegg at the criminal courts building in downtown Los Angeles.
Temple City Mayor Judy Wong was charged with six counts of bribery, three counts of perjury and one count of solicitation of bribery. Former mayor Cath Wilson was charged with three counts of bribery and three counts of perjury.
Former City Council candidate Scott Carwile, who was also once Wilson's campaign treasurer, was charged with four counts of perjury and one misdemeanor count of failing to report a campaign contribution.
"It's actually quite rare that we bring bribery charges, because of the nature of the crime," said Deputy District Attorney David Demerjian, who heads the DA's Public Integrity Division. "Normally, neither side involved in the bribery will report it to us. It's usually beneficial to them to just continue on with the conspiracy."
Bail was set at $250,000 for Wong, $150,000 for Wilson and $100,000 for Carwile. All three posted bail, were booked, and were ordered to return July 9 for a pre-trial hearing.
Warrants served on Temple City Council members *
DA's officials say search warrants were served at City Hall this morning and at 2 other locations. Three council members are under investigation for allegedly taking bribes from developer Randy Wang in exchange for providing smooth sailing to Wang's proposed mixed-use development on Las Tunas.
*UPDATE 1:42 p.m. from reporter Alfred Lee:
Investigators searched City Hall and five (not two) residences: Mayor Cathe Wilson, council members Judy Wong and David Capra, former City Council candidate Scott Carwile (whom Randy Wang has accused of taking cash bribes for his campaign) and Jay Liyanage, the former project manager of Wang's Piazza mall project.
San Berdoo County assessor arrested with meth
Property values in the Inland Empire are sinking to new lows, while the Assessor is suspected of fiddling with nose candy.
Bill Postmus, once a rising star in the Inland Empire's Republican Party, was arrested Thursday morning in possession of a pile of meth. One can only guess what else investigators found when they raided his house, but it's a well-known fact that meth addicts have addicts have a lot of proclivities that don't make for family reading. Here's the early story from the San Bernardino Sun:
Assessor Bill Postmus was arrested this morning after investigators say they found methamphetamine in his Rancho Cucamonga house while serving a search warrant for an ongoing investigation related to possible abuse of his authority as a county official.
About 50 San Bernardino County District Attorney's Office investigators and investigative technicians served 10 search warrants in six cities, including San Bernardino, Highland, Apple Valley, Victorville, Rancho Cucamonga and Rancho Santa Margarita in Orange County.
District Attorney spokeswoman Susan Mickey said she could not disclose specific locations.
But she did confirm that a search warrant was also served at the office of Jim Erwin, a former assistant assessor who now serves

Rotarians ring in 65 years of perfect attendance
Roseville Rotarians David Fiddyment and John Piches recently rang the club's bell in honor of their 65 years of perfect attendance in Rotary.
Both men joined in May 1947 and previously served as club president. The bell was held by Steve Lund, who was born one month after Fiddyment and Piches joined Rotary.
To maintain their perfect attendance, both men have attended meetings in other cities and countries. Fiddyment's most memorable make-up meetings were in Nepal and England, and on several cruise ships. Piches attended a meeting in Greece where none of the regular members spoke English. He sat next to a Rotarian from France who did speak English.
Piches graduated from Roseville High School in 1939 and served as a U.S. Navy engineer and ship's captain in World War II. He later started an engineering firm, designing and constructing buildings in Roseville.
Fiddyment's great-grandmother started farming in the area in 1850. When Fiddyment joined Rotary, he was in the egg business - he still runs Fiddyment Farms and is known for his development of pistachio farming.
