Step 1: Knowing What You Want
Step 2: Gathering Information
Step 3: Choosing a College Campus
Step 4: Requesting Information
Step 5: Completing the Application
Step 6: Applying for Financial Aid
Step 7: Tips on Writing the Personal Essay for College
Before you apply to college, you need to know what you want out of college.
I. Know Yourself - these questions you must answer for yourself.
- What are the most important things in my life?
- What do I like doing that may lead to job satisfaction?
- What special talents and skills do I like using and like developing?
- Where do I perform/work comfortably and to my fullest potential?
- Do I prefer working with people, data or things? Is there a combination of those three that I prefer?
- What experiences do I have that I would like to build on?
- What are my strengths and abilities now?
- What level of responsibility and salary do I want?
II. Know Your Choices - these questions you may answer alone, or with the help of a counselor, teacher, librarian, career center staff or family member.
- What careers are open to me and meet my interests and values?
- What training/education is required for my career choice?
- What is recommended for advancement in this field?
- What does the job market predict for the years following my graduation?
- Who do I know that is in this field, that could show me the day-to-day operations and answer a few questions?
- What steps do I take to be "on track" with the training required?
- What is a plan of action to reach my career?
III. Know the facts -
- You will eventually have to work.
- People who graduate from college earn more money. In 2005, a person with a bachelor's degree earned 37 percent more than a person with a high school diploma. A master's degree provided even more earning power—almost double the earning power of a high school diploma alone. (Source: U.S. Bureau of the Census, Current Population Survey 2004 Annual Social & Economic Supplement, March 2005.)
- If you want to be part of a dynamic new economy, you'll need college. Government projections say that jobs requiring an associate's degree or more will make up 76 percent of the fastest growing occupations between 2004-2014. (Source U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics.)

1. What specific high school subjects, grade point average, and entrance tests are required?E. Costs and Financial Aid
2. What are the application deadlines?
3. Educational Opportunity Program availability?
1. How much does the institution cost per year? (tuition, fees, campus housing, books and supplies, transportation, etc.)F. Housing
2. Is financial aid available? The more expensive schools usually offer the greater amount of financial aid.
1. Does the campus provide residence facilities and what is the deadline to apply?
2. Are there restrictions on off-campus housing for freshmen?
3. What is dorm life like? Is it coeducational?
4. Are there different types of meal plans available and what are the dining services like? (ie. how's the food?)
Visit the campuses you are interested in. If you plan in advance, you can receive a campus tour, talk to faculty, staff and students, sit in on a class, and maybe even stay in a dorm. Explore all options, listen to the information and suggestions of others, and remember, YOU know best what is important to YOU in this decision. Don't forget! most colleges have a WEB page on the Internet.
(This step can be completed via letters and emails by the end of your junior year)
After you decide on the colleges you want to seriously consider, you should write to them to request information, application forms and mention specific questions or concerns. Most of the information needed is on colleges' websites, but if you would like any additional information in paper, request it via e-mail or letters. NOTE: You may want to contact universities and colleges via email in order to get a quicker response.
Below is a sample email to request information.
**************************************To: firstname.lastname@example.com
Subject: Info Request
My name is Carmen Rodriguez. I am highly interested in applying to CSUEB as an undergraduate with an intended major in Sociology. I would like to be directed to or receive information in regards to your undergraduate admissions process, EOP, Housing as well as Sociology Department. Any information is useful and will be appreciated.
Thank you,

To Whom It May Concern:
I am a sophomore at Laney College and am very interested in transferring to Mills College in the fall of _____. I will need financial assistance.
Please send me any information you feel will be helpful and all grants, workstudy and loans.
Thank you for your time and assistance.
Sincerely yours,

1. Allow yourself sufficient time to fill out the application form. A "rush job" results in careless errors. Work in a quiet place alone, where you can give the job the consideration it deserves.
2. Read all directions carefully, before you start, and follow them accurately. Make a copy of the blank application and use it as a rough draft.
3. Read all questions on the form and think about your answers before you begin to write.
4. Write all answers to essay questions on scratch paper first. Ask your English teacher to proofread your rough draft before writing it on the application form.
5. Make your answers truthful, specific and concise. Make sure to answer the question.
6. If possible, type your application. The appearance of your application will influence the Admissions Committee.
If you write your application, print it legibly and use blank ink preferably. Use "White Out" to correct mistakes.
7. Plan your use of page space. If a small space is provided for a long answer, use the space above and below the line, but keep all the writing the same size; OR write "see attached sheet" in the space and write your answer on a separate page.
8. Avoid errors. Use a dictionary to avoid spelling errors. Do not cross out or have inkblots on your application, many colleges will not send second application forms.
9. Answer all questions. Do not leave blank spaces. If a question does not apply to you, place a dash (-), N/A (not applicable) or zero (0) in the blank (regarding to financial questions).
10. Make sure you keep track of your test scores. You are responsible for making sure that the testing agencies (College Board or ACT) report your test scores directly to the Admissions Office at each college to which you apply.
11. If an application fee is required, enclose a check or money order with your application. Write your name and social security number on your check or money order. If you cannot afford the fee, find out if the college accepts fee waivers. You may obtain fee waivers from your counselor. See your counselor well ahead of the deadline.
12. Ask someone to double-check your application for possible errors.
13. Be sure to sign your application. Without your signature, your application is not complete and may not be processed. Some applications require your name on every page of the application and essay.
14. Make photocopies of all applications and obtain a "Certificate of Mailing" from the post office, get a receipt with the date on which you mailed the application. Affix adequate postage to the envelope. Do not use certified or registered mail or an overnight express delivery service to send your application. This will delay processing of your application. Keep the copies and certificate receipts all in one safe place, in a folder or file.
15. Mail applications as early as possible during the appropriate filing period.
16. Within four weeks of mailing your application, you should receive acknowledgement that your application form and fees were received. If you do not receive an acknowledgement, call the admissions office and follow-up with your application.
17. If admitted, most colleges will require a final, official high school transcript (showing your date of graduation). You must arrange to have it sent to the Admissions Office where you plan to enroll. Be sure to request your transcript at least three weeks before it is due.
• Federal Pell Grants are the largest source of free money for college from the government. These need-based grants of between $400 and $4,050 a year are awarded to every undergraduate who qualifies and hasn't already earned a bachelor's degree. Pell Grants can be used to pay for tuition, fees and living expenses at any qualifying college, including a California Community College.
• Federal Academic Competitiveness Grant (ACG), if you're eligible for a federal Pell Grant, are a U.S. citizen and successfully complete a "rigorous" high school program, you may qualify for an Academic Competitiveness Grant of up to $750 for your first year and up to $1,300 for the second year, in addition to your Pell Grant.
• National SMART Grant provides up to $4,000 for your junior and senior years of college if you're eligible for a Pell Grant, are a U.S. citizen and are majoring in physical, life or computer sciences, math, technology or engineering, or in certain foreign languages.
• Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grants (FSEOG) are awarded to undergraduate students with exceptional financial need, between $100 and $4,000 a year. Priority is given to students receiving a Pell Grant. They don't need to be paid back. Unlike federal Pell Grants, funds for these grants are limited, so there's no guarantee you'll receive one. Also, keep in mind not all colleges offer them.
• Federal Work-Study allows you to earn a portion of your financial aid package through work. Your college will assist you in locating a part-time job on or off campus, usually related to your studies or career plans, or in community service. You'll earn at least the federal minimum wage.
• Federal Perkins Loans are low-interest loans for students with exceptional financial need. These loans are made by colleges using mostly federal funds and have 0 percent interest during school. You'll have up to nine months after school before you must start repaying your loan at 5 percent interest. Depending on when you apply, your financial need and available funds, you can borrow up to $4,000 for each year of undergraduate study and up to $6,000 a year if you're a graduate or professional student. Funding is limited, however, and not all colleges offer these loans.
• Federal Stafford Loans are the most common source of student loan funds and are for undergraduate, graduate, vocational, and professional students at all types of colleges. There are two types of Stafford loans: subsidized and unsubsidized. Your FAFSA will establish your eligibility for both. You may receive both types of loans at the same time. The interest rate is fixed at 6.8 percent for the life of your loan. After you graduate, leave school or enroll less than half time, you'll have a six-month grace period before your first loan payment is due. Typically, you'll have up to 10 years to repay, depending on the amount borrowed. If you'll be going on to graduate school, you may request an in-school deferment and postpone repayment until you finish graduate school or drop below half-time enrollment.
• Subsidized Stafford Loans are based solely on financial need. The federal government pays the interest while you're in college and during the six-month grace period after you graduate, leave school or enroll less than half time—you'll make no loan payments until your grace period ends. To qualify, you must meet all the requirements for federal aid and have your eligibility for a Pell Grant determined.• Unsubsidized Stafford Loans are for all eligible students, regardless of income or assets. You must meet the same requirements as those for the subsidized Stafford loan, except for demonstrating financial need. You're responsible for paying all the interest on the loan, but you can defer interest payments while in school. If you do, the interest will be added to the amount you borrowed when repayment begins and future interest will be based on the higher loan amount. It's to your advantage to pay the interest while you're in college because you'll pay less interest in the long run. To learn more, go to www.studentaid.ed.gov
• Federal PLUS Loans (for Parents of dependent students or Graduate Students): Federal Parent PLUS loans enable your parents or stepparents to borrow up to the total cost of your undergraduate study, minus any other aid you may receive. These loans aren't based on your family's income or assets. If you're a graduate or professional student, you can take out a Federal Graduate PLUS loan to borrow up to the total cost of your education, less any other aid you receive, including any federal Stafford loans. To apply for a PLUS loan, you must submit the FAFSA, meet credit eligibility requirements and complete a PLUS loan application. The interest rate for PLUS loans is fixed at 7.9 percent or 8.5 percent, depending on the college. Interest accrues from the date loan funds are first disbursed until the loan is repaid in full. You may also have to pay an origination fee and a federal default fee. For more information, contact your college's financial aid office.
• There are many other types of financial assistance available from the Federal Government such as aid for Veterans and/or their dependents, loan forgiveness programs, and national service programs like Americorp. To learn more, visit: www.studentaid.ed.gov
• California Community Colleges Fee Waiver (BOG). You won't pay any enrollment fees at a California Community College if you're a California resident and are eligible for a Cal Grant or any other type of need-based financial aid, if you receive CalWORKs/TANF, SSI or General Assistance payments (or if you're a dependent student and one of your parents receives this assistance), or if your total family income is within the income standards. For more information on the Board of Governors' Enrollment Fee Waiver (known as the BOG Fee Waiver) or the income standards, go to www.icanaffordcollege.com.
• Extended Opportunity Programs and Services (EOPS) provide grants, counseling and tutorial services to low-income, educationally disadvantaged students. To learn more, contact your college's EOPS or financial aid office.
• In addition, California Community Colleges have other support programs that assist with counseling, transportation, textbooks and supplies, job placement, and child care available for single parent students and those receiving welfare or CalWORKs benefits.
• California State University campuses offer the State University Grant to California residents with financial need. The amount of the award varies according to the priorities of each campus, but it generally covers at least a portion of the systemwide State University Fee. For the neediest students who don't have a Cal Grant, the State University Grant covers at least the full State University Fee. To learn more, go to www.csumentor.edu or www.calstate.edu.
• Educational Opportunity Program at CSU campuses provides grants of up to $2,000 a year, counseling and tutorial services to low-income and educationally disadvantaged undergraduates. There's even a summer program to strengthen your math, reading or other skills. To learn more, contact your college's EOP or financial aid office.
• More University of California students receive grant funding through the University Student Aid Program than through any other state or federal program. Undergraduate awards are given to financially eligible students who are unable to cover the full costs of attending a UC campus through a combination of a parent contribution (if applicable), grants from federal or state sources, and a reasonable level of student earnings and borrowing.
• Educational Opportunity Program at UC campuses provides grants, counseling and tutorial services to low-income and educationally disadvantaged undergraduates. To learn more, contact your college's EOP or financial aid office.
• Many private organizations such as clubs, your parents' employers, labor unions, corporations, religious institutions, and private individuals do award scholarships and loans. Check with your counselor and parents for such opportunities.
• Use scholarship search engines on the internet, but beware of scholarship scams and fraud!
• Private Loans: If you still fall short after exhausting all your own resources, federal loans and other financial aid, you may want to consider a private loan. Private loans may carry higher interest rates and have fewer benefits than federal loans. At a growing number of schools, private loans have been filling an important need in their financial aid offers. Contact your college's financial aid office for more information.
• It's never too early to explore all financial aid options from federal, state, school and private sources.
• Some scholarships are for specific grade levels as young as elementary or middle school. Go to libraries, counselors, teachers and other adults to inquire about such scholarships.
• During the college admissions application process, find out what each school requires to apply for financial aid. Even at similar colleges in California, requirements, forms, and deadlines are not the same. Schools outside the state will have their own financial aid application process.
• If mailing important letters or forms, ask the post office for a certificate of mailing. Print your name and ID number at the top of each document and keep copies of everything!
• Be prepared to supply additional materials, such as your family's income tax returns (IRS Form 1040), directly to the college or university. For more information please check the Fund Your Future Workbook published by the California Student Aid Commission and EdFund, from which the information in this resource guide was extracted.
CHOOSE ONE ASPECT OF YOURSELF AS THE MAIN THEME OR FOCUS OF YOUR ESSAY. For example, you may choose to focus on one of the questions below while giving mention to each of the other relevant topics.
LET A PARENT, TEACHER, OR COLLEGE REPRESENTATIVE READ YOUR ESSAY TO GIVE YOU SUGGESTIONS ON HOW TO IMPROVE IT. This way, a trusted adult can tell you whether you should include more information or delete unnecessary ones. Ask them to proofread for grammar. Grammar and spelling mistakes do serious damage to the impression you make.
Below is a list of suggested topics about yourself that you should include in your essay.
What are your goals? Why do you choose these goals? i.e. If you want to be an engineer, what experiences inspired you to want to be an engineer?
Why do you choose to apply to this college? i.e. You may apply to UC Berkeley because they have the best engineering program in the country.
What are your values and philosophy about education? What are the basis for these values? i.e. Do you value education as a way to expose yourself to many experiences? to improve yourself? to gain a skill? to establish a good career?
Is there one or two accomplishment(s), either in school or outside of school that you are particularly proud of? What have you learned from these experience(s)? i.e. sports activities, student government, class projects, work experience, community work, etc.
Have you a system of organization and time-management so that you can succeed both academically and socially? i.e. Have you trained yourself to schedule your time well so that you have time for studying as well as social and recreational activities?
What difficulties or disadvantages have you faced in your life and how have you overcome them? i.e. Are you from a low income family and you had to work? Are you an immigrant and had to overcome language difficulties?
What is one area in which you are weak and how have you or do you plan to overcome that weakness? Do not dwell on this point: keep it very brief.
If you are applying for the educational Opportunity Program (EOP), tell whether you need financial aid and whether either of your parents graduated from college.
INTRODUCTION: Avoid meaningless intros. Get right to the point. Start off immediately to talk about your goals and reasons you want to attend the college.
1ST BODY PARAGRAPH: Should contain the most important idea you want to convey. Should state the main reason that the college should accept you.
2ND BODY PARAGRAPH: Should have smooth transitions between paragraphs. Transitions should tie ideas in each paragraph together into one coherent essay.
3RD BODY PARAGRAPH: After outlining your more important ideas in your previous paragraphs, this is a good place to start putting in relevant details that you have not yet mentioned.
4TH PARAGRAPH: Should tie up loose ends. This is where you should include details necessary to apply for EOP and financial aid.
CONCLUSION: Sum up the main reasons you mentioned of why you should be accepted.

The Cold Hard Facts of Freezing to Death | Outdoor Adventure | OutsideOnline.com
But for all scientists and statisticians now know of freezing and its physiology, no one can yet predict exactly how quickly and in whom hypothermia will strike–and whether it will kill when it does. The cold remains a mystery, more prone to fell men than women, more lethal to the thin and well muscled than to those with avoirdupois, and least forgiving to the arrogant and the unaware.
Chris Ware's Newtown-Inspired Cover for The New Yorker : The New Yorker
As parents and citizens, we entrust our children not only to the safety of schools but also to the nurturing and cultivated environment of schools and teachers. Education is the very foundation of civilization and cannot be undermined or undersold. That we now have to somehow consider an unchecked population of firearms as part of this equation seems absolutely ludicrous and terrifying.
More Guns = More Killing – Elisabeth Rosenthal
I recently visited some Latin American countries that mesh with the N.R.A.'s vision of the promised land, where guards with guns grace every office lobby, storefront, A.T.M., restaurant and gas station. It has not made those countries safer or saner.
Victoria Beale Reviews New Books By Alain De Botton And Philippa Perry | The New Republic
Then there is the relentless urge to lean on those who've proved themselves more "interesting." To explain how sex declines within marriage de Botton writes, "repudiation of lovemaking [by a married couple] may thus be likened to a mountain climber's or a runner's not wishing to luxuriate in the lyricism and hypnotic grandeur of a great poem, perhaps by Walt Whitman or Tennyson, just before scaling a peak or starting a marathon." Everything is wrong here, the logic, the assumptions, the contortions to mention Whitman and Tennyson. Not even a quote, just a shout-out to ensure that we are aware of every last volume on the author's bookshelf.
Then I recorded Space Oddity…
"Then I recorded 'Space Oddity' and made some money and spent it which everybody liked."

H ere's the list of July 2008 manga and manhwa from Gramedia m&c! The schedule follows m&c!'s ordering—that unfortunately breaks for no week. As far as I know, the final volume 3 of Limited Lovers is the cut-off for releases due out 7 July 2008.
New series and standalones July has its fair share of series debuts and standalones, some of which I've already noted in their own posts, specifically The Knockout Makers and Hiyokoya Shop. Just to reiterate though: the earlier advised Koharu Biyori IS Higuchi Nichiho-sensei's shoujo manga originally serialized in Kodansha's Betsufure DX. The story follows juvie Harada Kounosuke and his cute dog Koharu and whatever mischief they get up to.
(BTW, if you didn't like Hashimoto Kyoko-sensei's Love Master A, I wouldn't recommend getting The Knockout Makers either.)

Release highlights - continued
New series and standalones
Another series starting this July is Cyborg Kurochan Extra Battle by Yokouchi Naoki- and Uchida Junta-sensei, but I'm not interested in this title. I'm in the mood for some six-chapters or less gratification, so I'm more tempted by the two standalones that together with the new series make up 22 percent of m&c!'s total July releases: Miyawaki Yukino-sensei's Café de Romance and the shoujo version of the Densha Otoko manga — Densha Otoko - Bijo to Junjo Otaku Seinen no Net Hatsu Love Story by Nakano Hitori-sensei and Ocha Machiko-sensei (the seinen version by Hara Hidenori-sensei was released by Level Comics). Café de Romance was probably serialized in the m&c!/Shogakukan monthly anthology Cherry but don't quote me on that. I gave up Cherry before it even reached its teens (the latest issue for this July is #25).
Conclusions and Penultimates
There's only two series finales advised for this month: the already mentioned Limited Lovers and (gasp!) the last tankō of Takasuka Yue-sensei's Sugar Pot. Talk about straining patience; the first volume of the latter came out waaay back in February 2007, along with other Valentine Shueisha shoujo titles Miss Prince (Kurahashi Erika-sensei) and With You Only or Kimi shika Iranai (Yoshizumi Wataru-sensei).
I guess we can up the ending series total to three by adding the almost at the finish EXCEL soonjung manhwa.
By genre
At 67 percent versus 26 percent, the combined share of shoujo and soonjung far outstrips shounen, but in the latter's defense, there's Death Note volume 10 in there. The fact that there's also the 10th tankōbon of Evangelion among the July releases doesn't excite me anymore; like D.N.Angel, the wait time between releases has been too long, too dragged-out to sustain a high level of emotional investment. If it's there, I'll read. If not, *shrug*
By publisher
Taking Cherry out of the equation, we come up with a four-way tie between Shogakukan, Hakusensha, Kodansha, and Mag Garden. Each places four titles in the July release list. Akita Shoten and Kadokawa Shoten have three manga apiece, while Shueisha contributes a couple.

Wow... this is amazing! I've made it over 6 times now... I used white wine vinegar (or just white wine), bacon instead of pancetta, and kale. This is my fiance's favorite.... he wants me to make it for his birthday meal, even though we usually eat it once a week as it is :-D Thanks!!!! :-D
Gnocchi with Tomatoes, Pancetta & Wilted Watercress
From EatingWell: May/June 2007
We use just a touch of pancetta—cured Italian-style bacon—to balance the sweet tomatoes and peppery watercress. Make it a meal: A salad tossed with a red-wine vinaigrette completes dinner.
11 Reviews for Gnocchi with Tomatoes, Pancetta & Wilted Watercress
As I grew up eating home made Gnocci, I can't stand the taste or texture of the store-bought stuff, unless it's fresh from an Italian grocer. If you wish to make your own, use 1 part mashed potatoes to 1 part white or whole wheat flour and 1 large egg. If your potatoes are new - boil them until they start falling apart and drain well, otherwise the dough ends up too soft. Old potatoes that are sprouting (but not rotting) are best to use. Mix ingredients into a dough, roll into "snakes" and cut into bite sized pieces and boil until they float. Simple and tasty!!
excellent quick dish that was unbelievably tasty. The sauce came out amazing, and all the prep work and cooking was easy.
Like many others I did substitutes:
- 4 slices bacon instead of prociutto
- serrano-honey vinegar instead of red wine vinegar
- arugula instead of watercress (didn't bother stemming it- still tasted great)
I was a little hesitant about this dish considering how simple the ingredients were, but was pleasantly surprised when it turned out lovely. I didn't keep pure vegetarian, I used prosciutto and I don't care for Watercress's bitter flavor so I used kale instead. It was a brilliant meal that will make it into a normal menu rotation for us. I served with butternut squash soup, next time I will toss a salad and serve with crusty bread. Winner!
Made this tonight for my husband and it was absolutely delicious. He raved for an hour saying it was the best thing he's ever had. I added a few little twists to it to liven it up. I used 4oz of pancetta and I also doused the tomatoes with Italian seasoning and added a few more dashes of it in the stew. I was pleasantly surprised at how easy this was to make and how much flavor it had.

Feeling Hollow, No Kiss After Swallow
no kiss for swallowingMy girlfriend went down on me the other day and when it came time for me to ejaculate, she swallowed it in a very erotic way by letting some stay in her mouth and swallowing the rest. Anyway, after she was done, she tried to kiss me on the lips and although most women don't know this, many guys aren't big fans of tasting their own semen. What is a polite way to tell her that I don't like to kiss on the lips after she swallows?
Hi Ed,
This may come as a surprise to you (no pun intended), but many men do enjoy the taste of their own ejaculate and have no problem kissing their partner after they're done performing one of the most flattering acts known to man.
Nevertheless, if you're disgusted by the taste, then all you have to do is be honest with her and tell her that you're not a big fan of the taste of your own semen, but make sure to come back and say something clever like, "but I certainly enjoy the taste of your juices." That way, she won't feel as bad.
In order to ensure that she doesn't develop an abhorrence for swallowing due to your own, start off by telling her how much you appreciate that she does it and describe how incredible the feeling is for you. Don't make any disgusted faces or describe your semen in a negative way, just tell her that you personally don't like the flavor. After all, they say it is an acquired taste.

condom always comes offMy wife and I had sex this morning, and when I pulled out my penis, the condom slipped off. I think that because I am not circumcised, sometimes the rubber gets loose when the skin is pulled back from the head of my penis.
Please tell us how to solve this problem, my wife tried to pull the condom out with her fingers, but she couldn't get it.
Thank you, we really need your urgent help.
Hi P.A.,
A condom provides the same protection for an uncircumcised penis than it does for a circumcised one. And although I know you'd like nothing more than to lay with your woman with your penis softening up inside of her after you've ejaculated, you simply cannot afford that luxury.
When you're done ejaculating, pull your penis out right away while it's still somewhat erect and the purpose of the condom will be served. It's not because you're not circumcised that it comes off, it's because your penis is becoming flaccid.
Donald Zimmer
ejaculating too often?I am in my mid-'40s and have been happily married for over 15 years. My wife and I have a great sex life. In fact, we have had sex nearly every night for the past 15 years (mind you it is vaginal or oral, depending on whether she has her period of course). I was wondering; is there such a thing as too much sex? Could this in any way be bad for my health, possibly bad for my prostate or testicles?
Lucky Man
Dear Lucky,
Indulging in sex with your wife every night for the last 15 years is a wonderful thing and so long as you feel great doing it, then keep on doing what you're doing. The fact that you're "draining" your testicles constantly and making way for new "batches" of sperm and semen is a great thing, not a bad thing.
Enjoy your rich sex life and keep in mind that there are plenty of men who wish that they were in your boat.

You could argue that, until the iPad came along, everybody liked the idea of a tablet device but didn't know what they'd actually do with one.
As a result, the history of tablet computing is littered with white elephants and false starts. As the old PDA market proved, it's not enough to simply get the hardware built. You've got to have intuitive software and an effortless user experience to go with it.
Finally, the timing has got to be right. As you'll see from some of the milestones in this list, great ideas can flounder if you have them too soon.
1. The Dynabook (1968)
You could say that the idea for a tablet computer was born back in the 1960s. When Alan Kay and the Xerox Palo Alto Research Center dreamt up the 'Dynabook', they envisaged a portable device that would give children easy access to digital media. It was the perfect name for a new and dynamic device that would act as a paper and pencil, artist's easel, typewriter and musical instrument. In short: an OLPC way before its time.
2. GRiDPad (1989)
While we dreamt of a futuristic Dynabook or electronic Star Trek data pad, what we actually got was the hefty-looking GRiDPad. Built by the GRiD Systems Corporation, this early tablet PC ran MS-DOS, supported stylus input on a 10-inch monochrome screen and had enough juice for about 3 hours of battery life.
[Image credit: vintagecomputer.net]
Impressed? Analyst Andrew Seybold was. "The GRiDPad is a creative breakthrough in laptop computer design", he wrote in 1989. "It may well capture the title of 'the computer for the rest of us'."
But price stood firmly in the way of this computing revolution. If you thought that the iPad was expensive when it launched, the GRiDPad cost a wallet-emptying $2,370. It was followed by similarly overpriced and underpowered rivals, which included the Momenta Pentop (1991), the Compaq Concerto (1992) and the AT&T EO PC (1993).
3. Tandy Zoomer (1992)
The PDA is an important part of the tablet story. While the GRiDPad had been a failure, GRiD engineer Jeff Hawkins hit on the idea of taking the tablet and shrinking it down to a more portable size. Hawkins founded Palm Computing to pursue the project and, together with Tandy and Casio, they produced a touchscreen device called the Zoomer.
But it was still a struggle to get anybody to buy it. As Infoworld's Kevin Strehlo wrote back in 1993: "I still can't recommend depending on a pen-based computing device to anyone but a UPS delivery person or someone who fills out forms for a living."
4. Apple Newton MessagePad (1993)
As I mentioned earlier, timing is everything. John Sculley, the CEO of Apple in the early nineties, coined the phrase Personal Digital Assistant (PDA) to describe the Newton MessagePad. The handheld device appeared less than a year later, featuring an ARM 610 processor ambling along at 20MHz, 640K of RAM and a 336 x 240 display.
[Image credit: www.msu.edu]
Most people agree that Apple's Newton platform was ahead of its time. Three years to be exact, which is how long it took Jeff Hawkins and Palm Computing to come out with the Palm Pilot 1000 (1996). It marked the beginning of the PDA era and a temporary end to any tablet ambitions.
5. Microsoft Tablet PC (2000)
Fast-forward to the millennium and Microsoft teased its idea of a tablet PC during Bill Gates' keynote speech at Comdex. But it wasn't until 2002 that Gates boldly (and famously) stated that: "the Tablet is a PC that is virtually without limits – and within five years I predict it will be the most popular form of PC sold in America." He was more than a little out.
If you look at the success of the iPad, Microsoft got three aspects of its tablet strategy disastrously wrong. First: "the Microsoft vision for a Tablet PC is that it's a full Windows computer" said Tablet PC general manager Alexandra Loeb in 2000. Wrong. "A Tablet PC needed to be the primary PC…" No. No. No. "It's targeted at business computer users who spend some part of their day away from their desks." Again, wrong.
Worse still, what Microsoft showed in prototype form ultimately became a weighty, bland, disappointingly grey device running Windows XP. Full marks for Microsoft's vision, a big fat zero for real world execution.
6. Compaq TC1000 (2003)
Of course, there was a brief moment in 2003 when we thought that the tablet PC's time had come. It had come in the sexy shape of the Compaq TC1000, a silver tablet/notebook with a detachable 10.4-inch touchscreen. It looked the part, weighed the part and, if all you used it for was browsing the web, it acted the part too. But matching Windows XP with a Transmeta Crusoe processor wasn't the wisest of choices. The performance was lousy.
[Image credit: Wikimedia commons]
In the years that followed, manufacturers searched for a form factor that would excite more than the usual early adopters and tech journalists. They dabbled with the Ultra Mobile PC (UMPC) in 2006, then the Mobile Internet Device (MID) and the netbook in 2007. But what we really wanted was an iPad (or equivalent). We just didn't know it yet.
7. Amazon Kindle (2007)
While gadget fans waited for somebody to launch a usable tablet that wasn't trying to be a PC, Amazon went off on a technology tangent with the Kindle.
While the first model was underwhelming, it proved beyond doubt that the time was right for ebooks and e-readers to make their move. For Amazon, the Kindle was the perfect way to nudge customers beyond ordering physical books.
And by making the Kindle software available on the iPhone, Android, Blackberry, Windows Phone 7, Mac and PC, customers could buy an ebook once and read it on any device they wanted to.
8. Apple iPad (2010)
Apple launched the iPad in April 2010 with a 9.7-inch display, 10-hour battery life, powerful 1GHz A4 processor and access to the biggest app library on the planet. Like most Apple products, it wasn't just early adopters and gadget-obsessed fanboys who slapped down their money and shouted: "I want one!" It was dads, mums, grans and your mates down the pub.
The surf-from-the-sofa, pinch/zoom, Angry Birds allure of the sweetly-designed iPad also brushed over its technical shortcomings. Flash support… (cough)… no camera… (cough)…
The iPad was followed bravely by the Android-powered Dell Streak and a gaggle of Archos tablets that you'll struggle to remember. Only the Samsung Galaxy Tab made any sort of impression. Samsung cleverly chose to sidestep a direct confrontation with the iPad by delivering a solid, Android-powered tablet with a smaller 7-inch screen.
9. Motorola Xoom (2011)
Technology moves at a brisk pace these days and if you thought the iPad was good, the Motorola Xoom has the potential to take your breath away. It beats down Apple's device in almost every area. Note the 10-inch (1280 x 800 pixel) display, 1GHz dual-core Tegra 2 processor, front and rear-facing cameras and additional SD card storage. It also runs Android 3.0, which is designed specifically for tablets and provides the wind in this perfect technology storm.
Find out more about the Xoom and other wannabe iPad-killers.
10. Hybrids and iPad 2 (2011)
The Xoom and its rivals are setting an impressively high standard. So where do we go from here? Will we see even faster tablets; thinner tablets; bigger tablets; smaller tablets and higher resolution tablets? Yes to all of the above. The tablet market is enjoying a frenzied gold rush and manufacturers will be keen to try anything (and everything) to stand out from the crowd.
That's not to say that there won't be more white elephants and false starts. There's little doubt that Apple will pull itself back into technical contention with an updated iPad 2. But the real innovation might lie with hybrid devices like the Lenovo LePad, a standalone Android tablet that becomes a more potent laptop when docked snugly into an IdeaPad U1 base.
Or perhaps there's scope to return to the idea of using dual displays to take advantage of multi-tasking. NEC is already experimenting with this in its Cloud Communicator device, as is MSI. And didn't Microsoft have the Courier dual-screen prototype back in 2009? Maybe they should dust that off and give it another go?
Did you own an Apple Newton or one of its less usable rivals? Are you enticed by the prospect of an iPad 2 or Android tablet? Let us know below…

On October 17th, Google announced the much anticipated "Disavow Links" tool in Google Webmaster Tools.
This tool finally gives webmasters the much-needed ability to tell Google to "ignore" specific links and domains from poor quality link-sources.Google's new Disavow Links Tool allows any site owner to upload a list of URLs, with the promise that links from that site will be excluded from ranking algorithms within a matter of weeks.
This is what the interface looks like:
If you have been a Penguin casualty, and can't seem to recover, then you can use this new Link Disavow tool to essentially "delete" the poor quality links that are poisoning your website.
Matt Cutts reveals in this video that it may take a few weeks for any links that you wish to be disavowed to take effect in the rankings.
This essentially gives people the power to report link or spam detection.
We all know what happens when the people are given such power, no control. Millions of webmasters will be submitting long lists of low-quality or spamming sites, which Google can then use in its algorithm to penalize not only the sites that are providing these poor quality links, but also those that are linked to by these sites. This spells disaster for any site that makes it too easy to get a link back to your site. Popular sources of links have been: Blog comments, Forums, Article Directories, Web Site Directories (I am guilty of this), Social Bookmarking Accounts etc.The sites that give out too many links, too easily will most likely see poor pages or even their entire domain get penalized. What's worse is that a penalized domain may also penalize other sites that it links to. Much of what I've mentioned is speculation on my part at this point, but with this additional data, Google is free to incorporate these kinds of reports into its ranking algorithm. This data has never been available on this scale before. So it stands to reason that Search Engine De-Optimization will continue. So, what does Google Want from a Link? How do you differentiate from poor quality links and high-quality links? Google genuinely wants links to be a vote of confidence for a site. Google wants links that are true measures of citation. Here is a good guideline: Good links are those which an actual human being took the time to approve (the link or content containing the link). Bad links are links that can be created automatically with no human intervention or quality review. By reading or re-reading the Google Webmaster Guidelines you will get a feel of what they consider good and bad links. They've recently updated it to include a range of examples to make this distinction clearer.As a website owner you need to do the following immediately. If you have any form of link-exchange plugin or system on your website, remove it immediately. If you participate in any form of poor quality link-building system then stop immediately. Most people shouldn't need to use this tool at all.
Resources you need to check:

Penguin was the first salvo against link-spam, now this Disavow Links Tool has changed the SEO game once again. This is perhaps, the most significant change in the history of SEO.
Hope you enjoyed this post.

On deployment in our acceptation farm, I noticed something weird happening. I deployed a wsp solution, just standard stuff. The solution contained a GAC assembly and some safecontrols. Our farm consists of a couple of front-ends and application servers. I performed the deploy Powershell script as administrator on one of the app servers.
Users reported problems I didn't see myself, so I went and checked the web.config files on the front-ends. On one instance, the web.config didn't contain the safecontrols. I checked ULS to see if something went wrong, but it listed no evident failures.
Copying a valid web.config quickly solved the problem, but left me wondering. Why wasn't this server updated and what could I do to make sure it is in the future? Anyone ever experienced something like this?

North America, the model of capitalism and the free market, is the last market on the planet to get the Samsung Galaxy Note. I want this because it the 5.3" screen is a nice compromise between a full-blown tablet screen size and the smaller screens of other smartphones. I do not want to have to bring a tablet everywhere I go, whereas a pocketable tablet such as the Galaxy Note will always be on my person. I'm excited about the stylus because of the handwriting-to-text feature, which is more natural especially at meetings — when people see you typing on a device at a meeting, they're not sure if you're just texting someone. My buddy bought an Unlocked Galaxy note a few days ago, Very very good phone. can't wait for people on AT&T to experience the phone.

CCHR Project Description
Most of our Projects incorporate both of our two approaches, Empowerment and Policy. Staff members often work on more than one complimentary project.
Business and Human Rights
The Business and Human Rights Project seeks to increase the understanding of businesses as to their impact on and responsibilities vis-à-vis human rights. We encourage businesses to work towards respecting human rights in all of their operations and policies. The idea behind this project is that the private sector is currently the missing, albeit undoubtedly an important, stakeholder in human rights dialogue in Cambodia.
Community Trainings and Hearings
Community Training is provided by the CCHR to increase human rights understanding amongst marginalized rural and urban communities involved in land conflicts and to transfer the skills required to claim those rights. The Project seeks to empower individuals and communities so they can negotiate the resolution of land conflicts, and to prevent or minimize associated rights violations.
The Community Hearing is a case-driven alternative conflict resolution mechanism that seeks to bring those affected by rights violations – namely land rights violations – together with Royal Government of Cambodia representatives, alleged perpetrators and other stakeholders in order to resolve the conflict at hand. The Project also has the overarching aim of fostering a more open society throughout Cambodia, where debate, discussion and differences of opinion are accepted and encouraged.
Ending Acid Violence Project
Cambodia's Ending Acid Violence Research and Advocacy Project is a project facilitated by the Cambodian Center for Human Rights (CCHR) aimed at ending acid violence and the culture of impunity that surrounds it through fact and evidence based research and advocacy.
One of the most urgent issues with regards to acid violence that needs to be addressed is that of impunity: perpetrators of acid violence regularly escape prosecution and conviction for their crimes. Since 1990, only a few acid crimes have been brought to court, and where this has been the case, the sentences that have been imposed have not reflected the severity of the crime.
The Project is designed to carry on the work that has been started with the Breaking the Silent Report to end the culture of impunity surrounding acid violence through research and analysis, public education and dialogue and advocacy.
Human Rights Defenders
The Human Rights Defenders (HRDs) Project seeks to protect people at risk and to promote the right to defend human rights. HRDs are those individuals who, in a professional or personal capacity, stand up to promote or protect the rights of others. The premise underlying the Project is that those who stand up for human rights in Cambodia do not stand alone.
The Project will put in place a HRD Committee which will monitor the situation of HRDs in Cambodia. The Project will seek to coordinate NGO support to HRDs at risk of violence, intimidation or legal action and, where that support is not forthcoming or is deemed inadequate, will provide financial support to ensure that the necessary support can be secured from the private sector. The Project will also undertake research and analysis of the situation of HRDs in Cambodia and offer recommendations to the Royal Government of Cambodia and others as to the legislative, structural and policy changes that are necessary to ensure that the right to defend human rights is respected.
Human Rights Network
The Cambodian Human Rights Network is a new approach to promoting human rights in Cambodia. The Network is based on the premise that change should come from the grassroots up but that NGOs in Cambodia often tend to lead communities rather than listen to them.
By working with Community Based Organizations (CBOs) throughout the country, CCHR seeks to encourage and facilitate grassroots activism. CBOs are the individual Network participants, they receive training on human rights, monitoring and documentation, and advocacy. In addition, Network participants are encouraged to apply for funding to support their activities in the furtherance of human rights from the Project's small grants fund. Network participants also receive advice and support from CCHR and partner NGOs in the undertaking of their activities. In addition, Network participants are given access to radio by using CCHR airtime to broadcast their activities. Network participants are listed in a Network directory and are encouraged to collaborate and to engage in joint advocacy.
Human Rights Network
Public Forums
Since our foundation the CCHR's emphasis has been on empowering communities. CCHR was the first NGO to facilitate 'public forums' throughout Cambodia. Unlike the Community Hearings, the Public Forums are not case-driven; rather they provide the platform for communities to address and understand human rights issues and violations that arise. Again, the CCHR plays the role of moderator and does not speak on anyone's behalf. The dialogue and forum mechanism is less formal and more flexible than the community hearing mechanism and has the overarching aim of fostering a more open society throughout Cambodia, where debate, discussion and differences of opinion are accepted and encouraged.
Human Rights Portal – Sithi
Winner -
Information Society Innovation Fund Award
(ISIF), Rights and Freedom Category for
Cambodia's first online human rights portal.
The Sithi Project is aimed at further developing and implementing collaborative and decentralized approaches to monitoring, documentation and information sharing as a basis for more detailed research and analysis and more sophisticated evidence-based dialogue and advocacy to bring about an improvement in the situation of human rights – particularly civil and political rights – in Cambodia.
As part of further developing and implementing collaborative approaches, the Sithi Project has developed, and continues to facilitate, the
Cambodian Human Rights Web Portal, www.sithi.org
. Sithi Project staff have trained community representatives on monitoring and documenting information to be shared on Sithi.org, and to be used as part of evidence based dialogue and advocacy. Information gathered as part of the Sithi Project has been used in reports aimed at variety of stakeholders from the Royal Government of Cambodia to the United Nation Human Rights Committees.
Sexual Orientation & Gender Identity
The Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity (SOGI) Project seeks to empower Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender (LGBT) people throughout Cambodia to advocate for their rights and to improve respect for LGBT throughout the Kingdom. LGBT rights are human rights for LGBT people. CCHR is creating an informal Network of activists who work to promote and protect the human rights of LGBT people.
Network participants receive training on human rights, law, monitoring and documentation, and advocacy. Participants are also encouraged to apply for funding to support their activities in furtherance of human rights and they receive assistance and guidance from CCHR in the delivery of their activities. In addition to empowering LGBT activists, CCHR undertakes research and analysis of the situation of LGBT in Cambodia and identifies the legislative, structural and policy changes that are necessary for the human rights of LGBT people to be fully respected and for the diversity of all people in Cambodia to be cherished rather than punished.
Trial Monitoring
The purpose of the Trial Monitoring Project is to monitor trials in Cambodia to assess their fairness against international standards and to use the findings as a basis for dialogue with judicial and other stakeholders in order to promote fair trials in Cambodia. We have created a strong infrastructure including a checklist, guidance and a code of conduct for trial monitors, and a database for documenting trial data that will soon link in with the
Human Rights Portal sithi.org.
This project infrastructure will be shared with partners to facilitate their own geographical-focused or rights-specific trial monitoring programs. We share raw data pertaining to the trials publicly, reporting on the assessment of trials' fairness. We also engage in dialogue with judicial and other stakeholders to share the findings, encourage improvements to trials and increase demand for fair trials in Cambodia.

"Moster" tells the story of Bok-Soon (KIM Go-Eun), who runs a street stall while taking care of her younger sister.

Bok-Soon's relatively peaceful life with her sister is disrupted when they cross paths with a serial killer named Tae-Soo (LEE Min-Ki).
Tae-Soo kills Bok-Soon's sister because she may have stumbled upon the truth of his murderous lifestyle.
Bok-Soon's rage consumes her completely, leading her to plot her revenge on Tae Soo.
Meanwhile, Tae-Soo vows to tie up his only loose end—Bok-Soon. Bok-Soon's descent into revenge and electrifying struggle with Tae-Soo culminates in a riveting conclusion.
Who will emerge alive—hot-blooded Bok-Soon or cold-hearted Tae-Soo?
Directed by HWANG In-ho, the film is in Korean with English Subtitles.

Political Communication, Citizenship, Interaction and the Mediated Public Sphere
Ongoing Area of Research
Broadcast news and related media formats not only report 'facts' but are also used as a resource for the breaking of government initiatives and policy to the wider voting public. Furthermore, the media is seen to represent an area, a visible field if you like, where 'accountability' and other forms of democratic checks and balances are performed. Recent debates concerning government policy associated with BSE, foot and mouth disease, devolution, military action, health, education, and so forth have been articulated and re-examined within the ever-expanding space of influence that is occupied by media institutions, programmes, and practices. In this environment, there is a widespread sense that we need to look more broadly at our media institutions to find new sites for public engagement. Historically, letters to the editor and radio phone-ins have been among the most popular forums for citizen participation in public debate. They have provided opportunities for public deliberation on matters of common concern in a 'mediatized' society where political communication is overwhelmingly channelled through mass media outlets. However, currently, this is being transformed through new forms of digital media, social networking forums, blogging, 'Twitter feeds' and other forms of digital WEB 2.0 media that are radically reordering democratic cultures, political action, organisation, citizenship and the public sphere.

White Denim have come a long way since their 2007 EP debut. With three albums under their belt, they return to their Austin roots with the release of Corsicana Lemonade.
Initially pegged as a garage rock band, White Denim's background in jazz, country, and indie rock meant they were always going to experiment with their sound. On stage, they're a band that can not only play, but also be prepared to take risks for the thrill of it.
For Corsicana Lemonade, White Denim built their own studio in a house overlooking Lake Travis in Austin. So it's no surprise the surrounding ambiance had a heavy influence on the new record. Exploring mellower territory, White Denim continues their rampant diversity with a more Southern country-folk vibe. Dwelling on family and memories, the lyrics set the mood of a back porch party with a strong smell of BBQ in the air, transcending a warm glow.
You can listen to tracks from White Denim's new album on SXSWfm! To launch the SXSWfm player on your mobile device or desktop, click here.

In 1648, the Płock inhabitants signed a new agreement with the Jews concerning payments of a war tax. Both sides decided that "their mutual interest was to make a perpetual agreement and the elderly Jews, on behalf of all the Jewry from Płock, decided to contribute with 220 florins to the war tax, to each 1000 florins, until the tax in Płock would be paid without violating the old treaties". In return, the townspeople had to keep and live in peace with Jews who specialized in grain- and wood-trade. The commodities were floated up the Vistula to Toruń and Gdańsk. In 1537 and 1546, the customs house in Włocławek recorded two transports of feathers whose owners, Aleksy and Aron, were Jews from Płock who exported five and six bags, respectively. In the late 16th century, the Jews from Płock brought to Kalisz 105 pieces of cow leather and 619 pieces of goat leather, another Jew exported two pieces of valuable velvet to Ostrzeszów or, again, some other Jew by the name of Mojżesz was an ox-trader and the animals he sold were brought from Wołoszczyzna. The majority of people dealt for the most part with local trade and craft, i.e. with weaving, furriery, slaughtering, dry goods, baking and glass production. Others rented inns or performed free professions.
In the early 16th century doctor Jacob from Sochaczew chose to live in Płock. The Płock kehilla was incorporated into the Greater Poland County in the 16th century. In 1519, an Abraham from Płock appeared among the landowning elders, and more precisely among the assessors, to represent interests of the Płock kehilla. The Polish-Swedish War in 1655-1660, left the whole Jewish district completely ruined but when it was over, the Jews were granted a privilege allowing them to rebuild it. The King gave them permission to "reconstruct the School, Cemetery and all the burnt houses". What is more, they could buy food, deal with trade, slaughter and sell cattle, as well as rebuild devastated butcher's shops and stalls. The privilege awarded by King Michał Korybut Wiśniowiecki in 1671 additionally facilitated management of the empty municipal parcels in the Jewish district. On 20 March 1676, King Jan III Sobieski confirmed the privileges already given to the Jews from Płock. In the 18th century, until the partition of Poland, the situation did not change much and the Jews still inhabited their own district. The hitherto privileges were confirmed by King August II (9 January 1723), August III (13 December 1760), and Stanisław August Poniatowski (30 November 1770). The basic source of income for the community members remained trade and craft. Some of them rented a distillery, inns in Płock and Winiary and mills in Płock and Chełpowo.
In 1789, the Jewish tailors created their own guild and in 1792 furriers did the same. 113 Jewish craftsmen, mostly tailors, worked here in 1802[3.1]. The end of the 18th and 19th centuries marked a new phase in social, cultural and economic life of the Jews from Płock who highly contributed to the industrial development of the town.
In the year 1870, Mojżesz Sarna built a factory producing farm machines which was then managed by his son – Izydor Sarna who in 1884 constructed the first in Płock iron foundry. Marian Margules established another factory of farm tools and machines in 1884 and after his death the enterprise was controlled by his sons: Czesław, Feliks and Izaak. The infrastructure of the Jewish community developed rapidly in the 19th century. In 1886, a new impressive building topped with a dome was erected at Synagogalna Street on the site of the old huge synagogue and next to the bet ha-midrash which was created in the 17th century. The new construction was situated between Synagogalna and Tylna Streets, near Bielska Street. In 1810, Mordechaj Dancygier funded the Small Synagogue erected at Szeroka Street (today – Kwiatka Street). The initiator of the idea to create the Izaak Fogel Hospital was Arziel Arje Rakowski. In 1872, on 7 Misjonarska Street, the hospital was put to use. It consisted of surgical, maternity, pulmonary, internal and neurological wards and its activity was financed by the Jewish community.

Church of Scotland Wedding Ceremony
The Church of Scotland permits marriages to take place anywhere so long as the minister agrees, the location has a proper address and the couple give notice in the venue's district.
There are no residency requirements; couples may marry in any church or register office that they choose.
A religious ceremony must be solemnised by a person authorised to perform marriages under the Marriage (Scotland) Act 1977.
Notice forms must be submitted to the registrar in the district in which the marriage is to take place.
Notice must be given up to three months in advance of the wedding and at least 15 days before the wedding
The couple must supply relevant personal documentation to the registrar, including birth certificates, decree of divorce etc. The registrar will advise on what is required.
The registrar will then draw up a Marriage Schedule - no marriage can happen without this document.
Straight after the ceremony, the Marriage Schedule is signed, in black ink, by the newly-weds, the person conducting the wedding and two witnesses.
The registrar then registers the marriage and marriage certificates are issued.
Specific information should be sought for other jurisdictions, as there will be local variations.

The whole experience was very easy and pleasant from start to finish. We were a group of 8 of differing ages and gender and everyone had a really enjoyable time.
The tour was quite nice and comfortable.
very relaxing boat ride on the Rhine.
This tour was wonderful. The ship arrived promptly, and the ride went smoothly. The recorded tour guides voices were pleasant. The tour is given in both English and German, with the German guide first.
For 9€ a person it was a great trip to do. Easy to switch our papers for tickets at the ticket booth and the staff were so nice! It was short though (50mins).Besides the gorgeous gothic cathedral there isn't much to see on the river. Luxury apartments, and office buildings but it was very relaxing
Well spent 1.25 hour boat trip good to learn about the city and enjoy the ride the meeting place is very close to the central train station if you are taking training to Cologne. The church and tourism office, down town shops and all are all there! Everything within walking distance! Loved it
Gave me an overview of the city and helped me decide what I "had to" see and what I wanted to see. I also liked having the time to sit and think about the City.
This was only a day trip from Brussels to Cologne, but was really delightful. The cathedral is beautiful, although it will almost certainly be better when they finish cleaning it. An excellent lunch, a river trip and the cable car journey were all equally enjoyable. Only shame is that we didn't have more time to spend there. I should also add that the costs were very reasonable. It would be remiss of me not to mention the comfortable ride and super service that we received in the first class section of the Thalys train that took us from Brussels and back. Hope to have more time next time we go.
Excellent and staff were so helpful.
Very relaxing trip on the Rhine
Excellent trip, just right for a family with small children.
Excellent, just enough time. English audio was too low
I didn't go on the tour due to time, but walking along the river was nice.
A great river cruise and such a reasonable price.You can also buy drinks and fantastic ice creams on board.Would do this again on my next
Excellent tour experience. Huge cruise ship with ample space to relax on the deck or air conditioned restaurant. Restaurant has finest choice of desert, drinks etc. Total worth for money.
Great City loved it
A wonderful way to see Cologne in a short amount of time! My wife and I arrived in Cologne on Saturday afternoon and departed on Sunday afternoon. We purchased this cruise for 10am Sunday morning and the timing was perfect! Very easy to find. They offer numerous foods and drinks for purchase on board. We both highly recommend ordering the waffles with hot cherries and cream! The perfect breakfast with wonderful views! A very nice cruise, first south then north of the Dom (Cathedral). If you are going to be in Cologne long enough to afford the time for a one hour cruise, you will not regret this!
Nice tour, cool to see the various building along the river bank.
Would be nice to have an actual address so we could navigate to it.
GLINN United States of ...
Good, short, Cologne is fairly limited in sightseeing options but this is a good way to see things along the Rhein.
The cruise was only about an hour long. It's a nice break from walking around and they do advise in both German and English along the way. There isn't as much to see as further south along the Mosel.
They served food and wine as well. Service was really nice.
Good cruise
Joyce S USA
We loved the cruise. On the negative side, we were not exactly sure where the cruise departed but were at the river promenade early enough to locate it. Our voucher had to be exchanged for tickets at the ticket office prior to boarding. Also it was difficult to hear the narration during the cruise. We had our own map of Cologne with us which was helpful. On the plus side, the river is lovely, and the cruise gave us a better idea of distances between landmarks. For the cost, the cruise is well-worth the time.
Good value for the relatively low price. The hour is the right amount of time for this city. The tour swings to the south from the middle point of the city, backtracks to mid-city and then swings north making another half-loop by the time it returns allowing you to see all 7 of the bridges and a lot of architecture of the city you normally wouldn't see separate from this tour. The location of the departure point is very accessible to the main attractions like the Cathedral.
Only spent a short time in Cologne and it was perfect to get an overview of the city in the time we had. The boat was very comfortable with a large deck on the roof to allow us to take plenty of photos with uninterupted views.
