text: I have never liked the stock hubcaps on my 2011 Prius. I took them off and added the center cap, but the 5 spoke alloys really aren't great looking wheels either. I will probably buy a set of aftermarket wheels for it the first time I need tires, but in the mean time I pop-riveted some full moon spun aluminum hubcaps to the stock hubcaps. I like the look, but to tell you the truth, most people do not. Only old-time hotrodders seem to like them.

Narcissus 'Blushing Lady'

DaffodilYou'll love this modern take on an old-time classic.

Stanford-Berkeley Graduate Student Conference on Pre-Modern Chinese Humanities
Initiated in 2014, the annual Stanford-Berkeley Graduate Student Conference on Pre-modern Chinese Humanities brings together graduate students from around the country and around the world who specialize in pre-modern Chinese studies.This national meeting of graduate students specializing in premodern Chinese studies aims to bring together young scholars from geographically distant institutions to present and discuss innovative research on China.
The conference, alternating sites each year between Stanford and Berkeley, will feature up to twelve competitively-selected graduate student presentations of original research on any aspect of pre-modern (technically, beginnings to 1911) Chinese humanistic culture, drawing on but not limited to the traditional disciplines of history, literature, religion, art, social sciences, and thought. We encourage proposals that explore new methodologies, utilize recent developments in digital technology, or reconfigure or cross disciplinary boundaries.
The conference will cover lodging expenses for the conference presenters, who are encouraged to seek the coverage of transportation costs from their home institutions or other sources. Confirmed presenters who demonstrate that no such funding is available may apply for a travel subsidy. Interested students from all institutions are encouraged to apply. Conference registration is free.
Papers will be selected by a joint faculty-student committee of China specialists at the two institutions. Local faculty will serve as discussants for the selected papers. Applicants are encouraged to present papers associated with ongoing or projected dissertation research.

When in the zero-gravity environment of space, an astronaut realizes quickly that most motions require significantly less effort, and the body adjusts itself to the new environment so that a simple act like putting in a contact lens does not result in a sharp poke in the eye or clapping of hands does not shatter fingers. This adaptability is useful and necessary while in orbit, and the body quickly becomes accustomed to the zero-gravity conditions of space flight, but without the everyday weight of gravity that we often take for granted providing resistance, muscle tissue tends to atrophy. In fact, a space traveler often experiences a feeling of heaviness, of an additional weight on the body, upon returning from space. The condition is similar to the degeneration of muscle seen in bedridden patients and the elderly.
NASA funded a study in which researchers from Boston University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology used SEMG to measure the muscle activity of astronauts during strenuous activities directly before and after space shuttle missions. The research, done at the NeuroMuscular Research Center at Boston University under the direction of engineer Lee Brody, resulted in the design and implementation of two experimental protocols. To determine and map changes in muscles of shuttle astronauts, the team designed a protocol to measure signals from a leg muscle during a series of exercises.
Since completing the NASA-funded research projects, Brody has found additional applications for the methods and techniques he learned during the experiments. He is now the chief engineer for the Chiropractic Leadership Alliance (CLA), of Mahwah, New Jersey, a professional organization serving the chiropractic community.

125 year old farmhouse, lovely gardens, good yards, separate fenced dog "park". Clean, well-maintained, nice "clean-up" facilities outside, neat, well-sited (centrally located off main drag), run by knowledgeable locals able to make thoughtful dining, hiking, biking, dog-friendly suggestions for events, locations and attractions. Non-invasive, easy to talk to, friendly hosts. Excellent fresh, from-scratch breakfasts (fresh fruits, breads, yogurts, nice coffee/tea service, frittata, pancakes, omelettes), Joe & David run an excellent establishment.
This inn is so lovely in so many ways. It is in a beautifully renovated farmhouse on a real farm. The innkeeper, Ingrid, is bubbly and welcoming. The beekeeper, Amy, is full of interesting information and gave us an impromptu talk on all things bees. The furnishings and decorations are perfect for the setting - very HGTV's Fixer Upper. The breakfast was delicious and freshly prepared. There is a variety of ice cream from their brother's ice cream stand available at all times for scooping in the breakfast area fridge.It is spotlessly clean and thoughtfully arranged. We stayed at the inn as a group of friends for a birthday weekend. We will be back!
We were on our way from the Outer Banks, NC to DC and we found this B&B. Great rooms, food and inn-keeper. Just remodeled...very up to date! Close to the Atlantic, but away from the fray. A piece of Americana. Highly recommended!
After a rather hectic summer filled with moving and working, my husband and I are so happy to have chosen to stay at this truly lovely bed and breakfast. As I love the atmosphere of a beach town and my husband is more of a country boy, the Covered Bridge Inn was a perfect combination of coastal living and country hospitality. Throw into the mix farm fresh ice cream, tasty honey, a cool breeze on a warm summer night, and decor that would make Chip and Joanna Gaines proud, and you're bound to have a beautiful stay. Ingrid and family have obviously put their heart and soul into this inn and it really shows.
We absolutely loved our stay at the Covered Inn. The place itself is beautiful and a perfect place to relax. The food was amazing, I dream of the strawberry French toast and the cookie dough ice cream. The rooms were tastefully decorated and incredibly comfortable. We went for an anniversary trip and it exceeded our expectations. I would recommend the inn to anyone wanting a relaxing vacation.
I took my 19 year old daughter on an overnight shopping trip which included a night at this amazing B&B! As soon as we pulled into the driveway we knew we had picked a great one! We were not disappointed! Inside decor is rustic and elegant. This place is SUPER clean and smells amazing! The attention to details really made a difference. We loved the homemade icecream (from their very own dairy farm). The Inn Keeper, Ingrid is down to earth and makes the most amazing breakfast. I was shocked to see my daughter eat every last bit of food during breakfast - that never happens. We are determined to recreate the amazing omlet Ingrid served us. Homemade scones need to be mentioned as well - the best I've ever had! We stayed in the Harvast room which was decorated perfectly and had an amazing view of the corn fields. We already ordered refills of the lotion, shampoo and conditioner they provided - smells wonderful. I can honestly say I would not change a thing about this Inn! Our only disappointment - we wished we would have booked another night! I hated to leave but will absolutely be returning so I can stay in every room! Thank you for helping to make our mother / daughter trip perfect!
My husband and I fell in love with the Covered Bridge Inn from the moment we drove up to the front door. Surrounded by farmland vistas, this pristinely restored 1830s era farmhouse has soul, and was gorgeous from the inside and out. We found the Covered Bridge Inn online on a whim for a long weekend getaway, a meeting ground for us (Connecticut) and our two dear friends (Maryland). Inside, we were greeted instantly by Ingrid's warm hospitality, and were excited by her enthusiasm for the home's deep-rooted family history. I'm a DIY-er and decorator, and was smitten with so many choices they made in the renovation: old doors were made into statement headboards and welcome chalkboards, original brick fireplaces were uncovered, the first single pane windows were repurposed as wall decoration; it was a pleasant view no matter where you turned. We loved our rooms – Henlopen & Honey Bee – and found that sleeping was a dream, too!! Then the food! Oh my goodness, the food. This is such a major plus in any of our B&B quests, but the Covered Bridge Inn takes the cake. Every morning, the welcome chalkboard was updated with the who, the where, and what's for breakfast. Breakfast is made in-house, and many of the ingredients were locally-sourced or picked from Amy's (Ingrid's sister) garden outside. Fresh house-made jams, baked goods, and honey from Amy's apiary grace the continental side of things, and then one outstanding breakfast plate awaits you as well. Not to mention, they have a few pints of delectable ice cream from the family creamery stashed in the common fridge. Just saying. The Inn is situated in the countryside, but in close proximity to Lewes (10-20 min) and Rehoboth Beach (15-30 min). If need be, we summoned several Uber cars with ease. Ahhh, this really was one of the best B&B's we've ever been to!! We will recommend the Covered Bridge Inn to anyone, and have already done so whenever we rave about our great weekend getaway.
My clients spent two nights here while they discovered life in Lewes and felt it exceeded their expectations. They invited us in to take a peek and I was impressed too. The owner's attention to detail is evident everywhere you look. I would highly recommend to any of my clients and friends who are looking for a B&B.
Never been to a B&B before and my first taste has been everlasting. We stayed in the Harvest room for 2 nights and our friends stayed in the Honey Bee room. I don't think you can go wrong with either room. Unfortunately the other 2 rooms were occupied so I could not investigate, but I assume they are lovely as well. The entire remodel of the house was excellent. Everything is clean and welcoming beginning with the innkeeper, Ingrid. Ingrid was perfect throughout our stay. She is friendly, engaging, respectful, and attentive without being overzealous or intrusive. When you check in, Ingrid gives you an overview of the site, describing the history of the Covered Bridge Inn building as well as the amenities available. There are a variety of treats to munch on throughout the day and there is always soda, water, coffee, and popcorn available. At night, ice cream is available from the Hopkins creamery. Breakfast is cooked each morning and although we will eat anything, Ingrid is sensitive to anyone with restrictive or particular diets. Everything I ate there was delicious, but I loved the scones and jam. The Harvest room itself is very nicely appointed. Super comfortable king bed with ample amount of pillows. I would have laid in here all day. There is Directv and WiFi available as well as a binder with information about the site. The bathroom is cozy, but is stocked with towels and various toiletries. Make sure you explore the grounds as there is a fire pit out back, a front porch with rocking chairs, and even a short designated trail to hike that also takes out by the RC Airplane field where a local club partakes. The only thing I was disappointed in was that she made strawberry french toast with bacon the day after we left. Sadness. Uber is readily available for anyone who doesn't want to drive to the local beaches.
Being greeted by name was the first indication of the warm friendly atmosphere we experienced with our short one night stay. Ingrid was happy to see us and she gave us an interesting and historical tour of this beautiful farm house. We stayed in the Hopkins Room and it was spotless and felt perfect. Tony and I went into town for dinner and then stopped at Hopkins Farm Creamery for some of the best ice cream we ever ate!!! We went back to the Inn and ate it on the welcoming porch. We sat there for a long while just listening to the quietness, calmness, peacefulness. We got up the next day to a smiling Ingrid and a yummy breakfast......How can you go wrong with French toast, strawberries and bacon!! We took a walk around the farm and visited the Barn and Covered Bridge. The only thing wrong with the visit was it was TOO short.!! Ingrid, we can't wait to see you again soon......Traci & Tony
We stayed for one night at The Covered Bridge Inn, but we wish it had been longer. The inn is a charming old farmhouse that has been in the innkeeper's family for well over a century. It is newly renovated, but retains a rustic country-chic charm that is truly inviting. This place boasts some terrific amenities including complementary ice cream, an on-site hiking trail, and a terrific breakfast! Everything was spotless and our room was very comfortable. My favorite activity was roaming the old barn on the property. This was the perfect place to unwind on the last night of our fast-paced road trip through Virginia, Maryland, and Delaware.
My husband and I were guests at this beautiful Inn this past weekend. Ingrid, the owner, was very welcoming and friendly! The house and room were immaculate, beautifully decorated and extremely inviting! We were especially pleased with our room, the bed was comfortable and all the amenities we needed were provided! We were able to walk the grounds and explore the barns, which was nice! If you visit on a weekend and happen to be there Saturday morning between 9 a.m. and Noon, be sure to go say hello to the "Fly Boys!" Charming fellows with tons of knowledge about the area AND remote control planes! We did not use the fire pit provided outside (because it was pushing 90 degrees), but surely this is an added bonus in the Fall, Winter and Spring! Snacks and drinks (both hot and cold) are readily available at all hours, and this includes ice cream from her brother's dairy down the street! Ingrid's homemade treats were amazing, especially the blueberry and cinnamon breads! I really can't think of one thing amiss or unpleasant! Hopefully you will get to meet Ingrid's sister, Amy, who is the resident Beekeeper and great to talk to. The honey her bees provide is quite delicious! Unfortunately, we did not get to meet their dad, Walter, who (we heard from everyone) is a wonderful man! This just means we are forced to return - and we will be extremely happy to do so!!!
I brought my wife and her friends out to rehoboth for a fun and relaxing weekend and this place knocked it out of the park. When we arrived, Ingrid had our rooms ready and a wonderful selection of sweets and refreshments available in the dining area. The ladies were In Love with the charm and design of every aspect of the house and decor. My wife and I stayed in the Harvest Room. This room featured a wonderful chandelier, a wonderful view of the fields in front of the B&B, a modern styled bathroom with a wonderful shower, and an exceptionally comfy bed. Our friends stayed in the Henlopen Room, this beachy room was perfect for them as it featured two very nice beds and a garden tub. This room also featured a cool chandelier and some really neat floor level windows that generated a lot of nice lighting. After a wonderful night of sleep, we cruised downstairs for Ingrid's made to order summer scramble with bacon. It was delicious! There were local jellies and honey for the wide variety of baked goods, some fruits, and of course the very convenient coffee maker. After filling up, we took advantage of the Inn's great location to hit the beach. At around 10am, on a Saturday in mid-July, in the middle of a heat wave, the drive to rehoboth beach only took about 25 minutes from Inn to parking spot! Very easy drive that let's you sneak around a lot of the big traffic snares. I didn't check, but it seemed like a lot of the great Delaware beaches would have also been super accessible. In summary, we had a great stay! I have done a few rehoboth trips before and when I was planning this one, I was deciding between this B&B and hotels slightly closer to the beach and I have to say that I don't regret a thing. Wonderful rooms, wonderful food, a wonderful location, and wonderful service really made our whole trip a great combination of fun in the sun and gentle relaxation. My dear wife has already threatened me with requirements of return trips in the future!
Covered Bridge Inn has combined Farm House charm with Elegance.. Michael and I stayed in the Hopkins Room.. I was immediately in love!! Everything you would expect in an upscale hotel given to you with an added farmhouse feel and look.. So homey and comfy. Pillows as plush as clouds and sheets so soft in that ohhh sooo comfy bed.. I slept like a queen.. Breakfast was made to order and the mimosa was absolutely perfect with the yummy jellies and muffins. You haven't been to the best B&B til you've stayed at The Covered Bridge Inn. Thank you Ingrid for your wonderful hospitality. You have definitely raised the bar of a bed and breakfast with the farmhouse charm combined with elegance. Michael and Ledia
With our son's baseball tournament starting two weekend games at 8:00am, we didn't want to be at a hotel 20 miles away, so we did some research on bedandbreakfast.com and found the Governor's BNB just a few short miles away in Milton, De. It's a quaint little former wooden ship building town with a good number of restaurants, pubs and what looked like a dessert place that we passed by. My wife enjoyed a nice brisk run through the neighborhoods and we all enjoyed some restful and quiet downtime in our two adjoined rooms with private bath and the acre+ wooded grounds and gardens. There's an inviting outdoor seating area on the front patio with comfy seating and shade for a leisurely read through the newspaper or book of choice. Inasmuch as any dusty baseball player could use an outdoor hose to be cleaned off, our son navigated the cast iron tub with handheld shower head with curiosity and then with pleasure. It felt like his times in Europe! The expansive grounds were serene and beautiful with the sounds of wildlife all around. I write this review because it is 100% true, but also because of how warm, friendly, knowledgeable, AND incredibly flexible Bill and Deborah were at meeting our family's schedule and breakfast times because of our unpredictable baseball tournament. We arrived early, needed breakfast served an hour earlier, didn't know plans until late the night before - our hosts couldn't have been more accommodating. The suite was perfect for a family of 4. I could see this bnb as the go to spot for an incredible romantic weekend getaway, even though it was perfect for a dusty, tired family of three! Thanks again Bill and Deborah.
We were spoiled. Point blank. Period. First off, Innkeepers, Shawn and Ingrid are amazing. Such warm and beautiful people, super down to earth, gracious, and fun! They always greeted us with smiles and always went above and beyond to ensure that all their guests were well taken care of. The property itself is beautiful. The newly remodeled inn is so inviting and has the perfect motif that draws you in to want stay. We stayed in the Henlopen room; beautiful beach themed, modern, spacious, and utterly gorgeous. The beds were a dream to sleep on and relax in. The amenities in the rooms, such as the robes, were a nice touch, not to mention the "make up" specific wash cloths. (Genius!) You can relax in the sitting room to chat near the fireplace or encouraged to sit on one of many wooden rocking chairs on the front porch to soak in the view of the swaying cornfields (when in season). I actually took the opportunity to enjoy some quiet time on the porch while indulging in some ice cream. It was a nice break away from busy California cities that I've grown up in. It was well needed. It almost feels like you're staying at a dear friend's home and want to be around them all the time. Ingrid and Shawn's hospitality are unparalleled and after being there for a few days we were certainly spoiled. We cannot say enough great things about them. When you meet good people, you just know and these two certainly exude that in everything that they do. No other B&B's we've ever been to can compare to what these two have. We look forward to our next trip out to Delaware. We also hope to always be in touch with them and will always remember them as the ones who introduced us to lighting bugs, scrapple, and Moo Cookies. Good times.
Everything about this Inn is lovely! The house has been beautifully restored and modernized. The setting is peaceful and feels remote, even though the beaches and restaurants are easily accessible. Ingrid is a wonderful host who made me feel right at home. The Inn's appointments show her excellent decorating taste, and her breakfasts are amazing (yes, I may have gained a pound over the weekend). Evening treat of home made ice cream from her brother's shop was delicious, and there are always little home baked treats and fresh fruits around for snacking. Luxurious linens, great mattress, strong wi-fi signal (important!), trails for walking on the large farm property, a fire pit, front porch rockers and a gentle ocean breeze. Couldn't have asked for a better weekend stay. An unexpected delight and respite from the crush of the beach scene. Highly recommend!
We stayed mid-week for two nights in the cottage in June 2016. Was beautifully decorated and relaxing with lots of nice details, and our own enclosed garden area and patio. The main house is wonderfully decorated, we saw all the bedrooms and each had it's own charm. David and Joe were brilliant hosts and the breakfasts were to die for!
Sometimes a traveler gets lucky and stumbles upon a place off the beaten path. Away from the hustle and bustle of downtown Lewes, there is a little oasis that is Covered Bridge B & B. A working farm and family business with a story, the history immediately captivated me. The rooms have been lovingly transformed to preserve the antique ambiance but all offer modern conveniences such as updated private bathrooms, flat screen televisions, and climate control. One room is handicapped accessible. Since it was the only room left on a busy weekend, we were in that room (Hopkins). I'd recommend an upstairs room if accessibility is not a problem. The view is spectacular and it will be quieter. The morning offerings included a vegetable casserole with bacon and various homemade breads and scones. There was also a choice of strawberry french toast. Although I'm a coffee aficionado, I didn't try the Keurig machine since I prefer espresso or French press. Most will have no issue with this. I loved the family aspect of this inn--from the homemade soaps and honey by the Innkeeper's sister to the unlimited homemade ice cream by the innkeeper's brother. I also enjoyed the stories of this regal family homestead. I would highly recommend this lovely addition to Lewes accommodations.
The Covered Bridge Inn is a must stay -- a cozy place tucked in the middle of beautiful farm fields and about 20-30 minutes away from the beach. The place is perfect for those who appreciate a combination of history, architectural detail, quality fresh food (the homemade breakfast was delicious!), quiet open space, and proximity to the coast. Ingrid and her family (including her two cute, little dogs!) were gracious hosts and made sure we had a wonderful stay in the Honey Bee which offers nice farmland views from both sides of the Inn.
Ingrid and Shawn are fantastic hosts, and the inn is not only clean and stylish but very comfortable. My husband and I look forward to a return visit in the fall. If you are looking for a lovely spot close to Delaware beaches but removed from the crowds, this is place for you!
This B&B keeps improving over the years! It's a great set-up for those traveling with their dogs.
This is the second time we have stayed at Homestead. It is very difficult to find pet friendly accommodations. Homestead goes above and beyond in catering to both human and pet needs. We LOVE the fenced play area. Breakfasts were great, and the room was perfect for our needs. We will come again!
The Homestead is a wonderful bed and breakfast that allows pets and Joe and David are wonderful host. The breakfasts are so delicious and the food is so fresh. We stayed in the cottage which is separate from the house. It was very comfortable and cozy. We enjoyed the extra room and privacy.
My partner and I enjoyed two peaceful days in Rehoboth Beach at the Homestead Bed and Breakfast. Joe and David were welcoming and helpful, and cooked two amazing breakfasts (custom omelettes and heavenly french toast!). Traveling from our apartment in the heart of DC, the bed and breakfast was truly a retreat. It sits on beautiful property, with trees, gardens, and greens. Our dog, Grizzly, thoroughly enjoyed frolicking around the grounds and running loose in the gated dog park. We stayed in the Sunflower room, which had its own calming effect. Even our dog, who basically never retires from his life duty of guarding doors and investigating suspicious sounds, realized that he was in good hands and took a much-needed break from his full-time job. We also found the Big Chill Cantina right around the corner from the bed and breakfast-- a laid-back bar with a great outdoor area that allows dogs to roam through freely. No vacation is complete without the pup, and we found the entire area catered to furry friends. All three of us thoroughly enjoyed our visit, and we'll definitely return to Homestead for all of the peace that it offers!
Cozy, comfortable, clean and close to beach and outlet. The hosts were warm and welcoming. Great breakfast with hospitality. We had a relaxing weekend and it was even better because we were able to stay at a place that welcomed our dog as well. We will be back!
We had such a great weekend in Rehoboth when we stayed at the Homestead B&B. Joe and David were so nice and welcoming. The breakfasts were beyond delicious! It's always a fun vacation when you can bring your furry friend along and our dog had a blast! The room was very nice and when I walked in I immediately felt that they had thought of everything! From the pet sheet on the bed, the rubber mat for her food bowl, even the little basket of snacks and toiletries. We will absolutely be back!
I love the fact that Homestead is a pet friendly environment. The owner Joe is very friendly and personable. Lots of space outside for your pets. Only down fall for me was the bed was extremely soft. Can't do soft beds very uncomfortable. Felt like I was sinking in the middle. I wish I had booked earlier to get a room with the bath inside the room. We had I ownyd private bath, but it was outside the room. Homestead sit on the corner of a busy intersection so if you are in the room in the front be prepared for the traffic.
We have stayed here twice during the Rehoboth Beach marathon weekend. The first time we were in the smallest and least expensive room which was lovely and had a spacious bathroom. Every detail -- including your pet's needs! -- is attended to at this cozy B&B. Joe and David are friendly and gracious. During our checkout of our first visit, they asked if we wanted to peek in the cottage where they were cleaning. Upon seeing it, I decided to reserve the cottage for our next stay. It was an excellent choice! The cottage is cozy yet spacious, quaint but with plenty of room. And again, the attention to detail is what makes these B&B owners stand out in my eyes. From the dog dishes to the doggie poop bags, from the wine opener to the glassware, from the dog blankets to the eye make-up remover cloths in the bathroom, these guys think of everything! If you do stay in the cottage, you have your own fenced in backyard for your pup. This is seriously a great place to stay with your dog.
Very nice B and B

Does a company that's grown its subscriber base from about 670,000 in 2002 to about 24 million today have anything to be concerned about? And, if any organization can increase revenues by 47% to $719M in this economy, can't the CEO relax just a bit and enjoy the fruits of success?
The answers to those two questions are yes and no.
Netflix is often credited for killing the video rental store business model. With the recent bankruptcy of BlockBuster Video, the biggest rental organization in the world at one time, that claim seems reasonable. Now it's girding itself to become a dominant player online. Already its streaming service is claiming new users across North America on a daily basis. It is planning to add two new international markets a year, starting probably with Britain or South America.
Surely the future is golden, right? My thought: Not necessarily.
Why? Because success brings competition. This is true whether you're an individual doing well at work or a large organization doing well in a tough marketplace.
The new competitors may be less successful existing players or new entrants. The smart ones will figure out what you're doing well and where you're weak. (I'd suggest doing a SWOT analysis. These are just as effective for your career planning by the way.) They'll build on your successes and beat on your weaknesses. If you're great, you'll be ready and stay ahead of the pack. If you've decided that you've got the winning formula, you're destined to fall.
Back to Netflix — here's what I'd be watching if I were CEO Reed Hastings:
If you were the CEO of Netflix, what would most drive your decisions about your five-year plan?
Looking forward,

Special thanks to Ryan Buell, our Graduate Student Reading Series host for the 2016-2017 year and the Host Committee.
What follows is information about the master's thesis and candidacy for the Master of Fine Arts degree. In their second year of study, students perform the revision necessary to turn two years' of writing into a coherent, complete, and polished thesis: a collection of essays, poems, or short stories; a novel, a memoir, or other work of creative nonfiction. In the fall semester, the thesis director may be considered an informal advisor, providing students with general guidance and helping them to create deadlines and a plan for revision. In addition to the thesis, students must complete the requisite coursework to be advanced to candidacy for the M.F.A. degree, they must meet all deadlines, and submit their final thesis to ProQuest to participate in commencement ceremonies.
You must include preface materials (a cover and copyright page) in the final version of your ProQuest thesis submission. For your reference, please download sample preface materials below.
The overall scope of the thesis will be arranged between the student and the thesis director, but minimum page limits have been set at 36 pages for poetry (80 maximum) and 70 pages for fiction and creative nonfiction (100 maximum).
Director and Second Reader
The Second Reader will give one serious reading of the manuscript prior to the final oral exam, either through one meeting with the student or by marking the text and giving it to the student before the orals. The Second Reader will also be present for and participate (either in person, via Skype or conference call) in the oral exam along with the Thesis Advisor. The Second Reader can be any faculty member in the MFA Program in Creative Writing, the English Department or any visiting writer with whom a student has taken a course.
During the spring semester of the second year, each MFA candidate is required to pursue a tutorial course of study under the direction of an assigned faculty writer in the student's genre. Students meet with their advising professor several times during the semester to confer on the following aspects of the thesis: final revision and editing of individual pieces to be included in the manuscript, selection and arrangement of material, and coherence of the work as a whole. English 400 is a non-unit bearing course. Through this tutorial, the student performs the revision necessary to turn two years' worth of writing into a coherent, complete, and polished book-length thesis.
In order for the M.F.A. degree in Creative Writing to be granted, students are required to fill out a Petition for Candidacy form and submit their thesis to ProQuest. The Petition for Candidacy Form must be turned in to the Coordinator no later than Monday, May 2, 2016. The coordinator will submit the completed candidacy form and a copy of the academic evaluation to the registrar once as student has satisfactorily uploaded their thesis to ProQuest.
*Note: diplomas are sent to the permanent address on record with the Office of the Registrar. Please be sure this is accurate with their office.
Please see below to download Petition for Candidacy Form.
Your oral defense must be scheduled with your thesis director and second reader no later than the last week of February 2016. Please reach out to both your thesis director and your second reader to schedule your oral defense in May 2016. Send the finalized date to the coordinator.
The thesis defense explicitly ties the coursework required for the M.F.A. degree to the work of the thesis. It is designed to
1) assess your knowledge of contemporary literature and your particular genre as you have been studying those disciplines at Saint Mary's
2) allow you to articulate relationships between your own work and its literary contexts
It is the student's responsibility to provide their thesis director and second reader with a final version of their thesis at least one week prior to their scheduled oral defense.
Please see below for sample oral defense questions.
The program requires one (1) hard copy signature page for our records. Student is responsible to create and format the signature page (sample attached below) and must procure original signatures from their Thesis Director and Second Reader at the scheduled oral defense. Immediately following their oral defense the student should drop off the signed signature page to the Coordinator who will obtain the remaining signatures.
Please see below for sample preface materials, including signature page.
This $120 fee covers your degree processing and regalia and is due no later than Friday, April 15, 2016. All students, regardless of whether or not they plan to participate in commencement ceremonies, must pay this fee to have their degree processed. Please make checks or money orders payable to "Saint Mary's College of CA" and delivered to the Business office in Filippi Hall (across from the Registrar's Office).

Currently in the pre-launch phase, EFNIKS.com wants to overcome the challenges articulated so well by the #GayMediaSoWhite social media movement. To that end, we are looking for people with expertise, keen interest, and particular knowledge in any of the following areas:
Politics and Campaigns Nerd Culture
Trans Rights and Acceptance Technology
Representation in Media Social Media
Music, Film, and Television Education Policy

Healthcare Policy Ableism and Disabilities

In other ways, it could be an opportunity for essayists and opinion writers and columnists. It might also be a place to feature your finds, your craft, your own art. It might be what is important to our communities, it might be how our communities are impacted, and it might be a view of the world through the lens of who we are. It can be so much more.
The most important thing is that this is a space created and curated by LGBTQ+ People of Color.
If you are interested, send me a note with your interests and expertise, some background on yourself, and any written work to help me understand your style.

Passport & Visa Requirements
In order to enter Ireland, U.S. and Canadian citizens need a valid passport. The expiration date must extend at least six months beyond the date of your return home. No visa is required for U.S. or Canadian citizens. If you're not a U.S. or Canadian citizen, you must contact each country's consulate for your specific entry requirements.
Baggage Allowance
Airlines have varying weight restrictions on luggage. Some airlines may impose additional charges if you choose to check any baggage; be advised that you are responsible for any such costs. Contact your airline for detailed information regarding luggage size and weight restrictions for your flight, but please note that Go Ahead travelers are restricted to one checked bag per person due to storage limitations on motor coaches and other internal transfers, which may include train connections or flights. One carry-on bag is also permitted, provided that it does not exceed 45 total inches (length + width + height). Make sure you label your baggage and carry valuables, medication and documents in your carry-on bag.
Clothing & Packing Tips
Light, loose-fitting clothing that provides comfort when exploring the sights is essential for your tour. A sun hat, sunglasses and a sturdy pair of walking shoes or sneakers are recommended for sightseeing. It's always a good idea to be prepared for any event—a lightweight jacket and emergency rainwear are advised. If you plan to visit an especially elegant restaurant or attend the opera or theater, you will probably feel more comfortable with something more formal to wear. Also, please be respectful and refrain from baring legs or shoulders when visiting churches or other religious sites (entrance may be denied on this basis).
There are no major health risks when traveling to Ireland. It is always advisable to check with your doctor or healthcare provider for the latest updates and overseas travel requirements.
One of the most enjoyable aspects of traveling is the delightful variety of local cuisine. Traditional Irish cooking is simple, relying heavily on meatbased dishes. Pubs serve up hearty lunches, like traditional Irish stew. Soda bread is delicious and very filling, as are Irish cakes, such as scones and Barm Brack. The thick black beer known as Guinness is a national institution in its own right. In recent years, Dublin has seen something of a culinary revolution, and the city now boasts an impressive array of new restaurants offering exciting cuisine with continental European and Asian influences.
Round-trip flights arrive in Shannon and depart from Dublin. Included transportation on this tour is by private motor coach. Most of the destinations are easily walkable, but you may want to spend your free time exploring Dublin by a combination of walking and public transportation. The city is serviced by numerous buses, and if you wish to take excursions on your own outside of Dublin, use the very efficient Dublin Area Rapid Transport (DART) trains, which reach most locations on the coast.
Ireland operates on the European standard 220 volts.
Time Zones
Ireland falls on Greenwich Mean Time (GMT), which is five hours ahead of Eastern Standard Time (EST).
The euro is the currency you will be using on your tour. Better rates of exchange are usually available in your destination countries, although it is worth ordering some currency from your local bank to use when you first arrive. We advise that you take a combination of bank/ATM cards, credit cards and traveler's checks, which can be exchanged for cash at local banks, as needed. We suggest that you inform your bank and credit card company of your travel plans, so that they won't confuse your international purchases for fraudulent charges. Please note: With the conversion to the euro, it has been increasingly difficult to exchange traveler's checks outside of Europe's major cities—both at banks and shops—and they often attract higher fees.
At the conclusion of your tour, it is customary to offer your Tour Director and driver a gratuity. We recommend tipping in your tour country's currency, the equivalent of $3USD/CAD per person per day for your driver and $6USD/CAD to $9USD/CAD per person per day for your Tour Director. If applicable, we also recommend the equivalent of $2USD/CAD per local guide. Tips can only be paid in cash. Please keep current local currency exchange rates in mind when tipping.

Loved ireland
This was my first trip oit of the country, so i was very nervous. Everything was made very easy on our trip, our tour director was so good! He really knew his history and had alot to say about the area. He made great suggestions to where to go to eat. He always went the extra mile with the group to make sure we got to where we were going and followed the itinerary in a timely manner. He was always polite! We loved ireland and will definetly come back someday there is so much to see.Galway was my favorite place on the tour wish we had one more night there. I would recommend go ahead to anyone especially first time travelers they will be at ease and very impressed!
Hi Emily! We're so glad you enjoyed your first time out of the country. It sounds like your Tour Director was a great resource for you, providing tips and information along the way. We're happy to hear you had a great time in Ireland and that you will return one day. Thank you for recommending Go Ahead. We appreciate your feedback very much, and we hope to welcome you on tour again!

A good "craic" is guaranteed
What fun we had on this trip! Many amazing memories made with the itinerary in Ireland. Our tour director, Cathal, was very friendly and knowledgeable. Shared lots of history about Ireland in a fun and entertaining way. The whole trip went by too fast. Can't wait to return!
Hi Sheila! Welcome home, and thank you for your review. We're so glad you had fun and learned about the unique history of Ireland! We are also happy to hear you enjoyed your Tour Director. Let us know when you want to go back!
Posted by Daniela, Director of Quality Control | March 21, 2016
This was my fifth tour with GoAhead and one of the best for sure! Cathal, the tour director, was absolutely amazing. He apparently teaches history in Ireland and it was obvious. He gave us an excellent history during the bus rides to and from places. He would also play Irish music from time and time and on a couple occasions, even read some poetry by Yeats. He really added to the experience. He was very kind and super helpful with making recommendations. He even made reservations for us at a nice steakhouse in Dublin. He was, in a word, amazing. I also really loved the Dublin city tour guide. She was such a gem. She was a witty, yet refined lady who knew a lot about the culture in Ireland. The Cliffs of Moher was absolutely breathtaking, climbing up to the top Blarney Castle was awesome, and being in Dublin for St. Patrick's Day was just "epic." As always, I met some lovely people on the tour and have some new Facebook friends. I would highly recommend this trip to anyone considering booking. I do like to provide even negative feedback for the benefit of GoAhead in the hopes that perhaps it helps make the tour even better. First, I will say that the United flight over to Shannon was less than desirable. The biggest problem was that in certain rows, the televisions were not working, of course, that my row was affected. When you take these international flights, you pretty much count on watching a few movies to pass the time. I did not bring any reading material. The staff seemed unconcerned. The flight attendant tried "resetting" it once and nothing happened, then just gave up. Needless to say, I was terribly bored on the way over. On the way back from Ireland, my seat was literally on the last row of the plane, seated next to a woman I will call Typhoid Mary. No one wants to sit in the last row. The galley for the flight attendants was right behind the last row, so all I heard was talking the entire trip was talking and all the noises that come with getting meals prepared, etc. Next, the hotel in Galway was not great. While the hotel was located right in the center of town and very convenient for walking to local pubs and restaurants at night, there was no control over the temperature in the room. It was either extremely hot or extremely cold. I had to open up my windows at one point, and it was brisk in Ireland. I did mention it to the front desk and they indicated that you have no actual control over the temperature in your room. They control the temperature from the front desk. Next, while the hotel in Blarney was adorable and the food at the restaurant was quite tasty, I would suggest staying in Cork instead. There is absolutely nothing going on in Blarney besides the castle. Most folks took a cab ride into Cork which is sort of a good distance away. Additionally, the walls were so thin at Blarney Woolen Mills that I could literally hear the man snoring in the room next to me. My friend could hear the snoring and she was in the next room on the other side of me. I really loved the hotel in Dublin. The rooms were nice and the location was great. Anyway, these things, in my opinion, did not take away for the overall awesomeness of the trip. I would still recommend this trip to anyone and would go again in the future! It should be on anyone's "bucket list" for sure! And, I love GoAhead tours in general. I've already booked my sixth and seventh trips with them! You will enjoy doing business with them!
Hi Angela! We're happy to hear this was one of the best tours you've taken with us! It sounds like your Tour Director and Dublin city guide added a very fun, enthusiastic element to your overall experience, and we're glad to hear it. Between the amazing sites and the wonderful people you met on tour, we're pleased that you had such a great trip. Regarding your flight experience, we regret to hear that your in-flight TV monitor wasn't working on the way there and that on the way back you were seated in the last row of the plane. Unfortunately, we have no control over these components of your trip. We understand how frustrating flying can be, and we do hope that your next flight experience is better. Regarding the accommodations, we will be sure to communicate your feedback on the temperature of your room in Galway to our team internally. Temperature standards can vary from country to country, and they are often different from the U.S. As for the hotel in Blarney, we appreciate your thoughts on staying in Cork instead. We will consider this change as we reevaluate this tour in the future. Thank you for taking the time to review your tour, and we look forward to welcoming you on your next one very soon!

Great tour company
fabulous time.
Hi Lisa! Thank you for your review, and we hope to see you on tour soon!
Posted by Daniela, Director of Quality Control | March 21, 2016
I would go again!
Had a fabulous time...made great memories. Tour director was extremely accommodating and knowledgeable.
Best tour Director
Tom was awesome, he really know what his country. Hotels, breakfast and dinner includes were great..I did enjoyed very much and will plan to do a spain trip for next year.. One thing i will like to mention is about the fligh schedulle. We basically wasted a day, leaving late a night. Even that we didnt have anything schedule it wouldnt be nice to arrive early and explore the city on our own once we were able to get to the hotel. Otherwise everything as more than excellent...
An Amazing Trip!
If you've been thinking about taking a trip to Ireland, this is the one to take! This was my wife and I's first trip overseas and it was amazing. Let's start with the tour director: Tom. Tom greeted us at the airport and from that moment he was a wealth of information, was super friendly, and has a great sense of humor. We learned so much about the Irish history and culture, with lots of great anecdotes and music. We loved listening to Tom talk about Ireland! You could tell he loves his country.... Now let's start with the different sightseeing and cities we visited...Galway is fantastic. Exactly what Americans think of when they think of Irish charm. Such a great city. We really recommend drifting into Taafes bar for a drink and traditional music. A great time will be had! Also loved seeing Connemara marble. Our trips to the Cliffs of Moher and Poulnabrone were also very interesting and beautiful as well. We wish we would have spent more time in Cork as it seemed like a neat city, but Blarney village was also great! It's definitely worth getting over your fears to climb the Blarney castle and kiss the Blarney stone. It was a beautiful day when we did this, too. So wonderful! Blarney is charming and we recommend The Muskerry Arms. Last but not least was our stay in Dublin. Now, Dublin is a bit too much like Chicago for my wife's tastes. BUT the St. Patrick's Parade was truly amazing. The Hop on-Hop Off bus tour is also a great thing to do and only costs 18 euro for two days. We wish we would have gotten to spend more time in St. Patrick's Cathedral, however. Overall, we had a fantastic experience. We loved the farewell story telling dinner on our last night, loved all of the people we met, and just had such a blast. We will be traveling with GoAhead again next year for our anniversary and will be taking the Grand Tour of Turkey....can't wait! Such a great company to travel with and they take really great care of you! Our driver was great too!
So fun!
Our guide,Con, was amazing. His singing and teaching us Irish songs made the bus fun. Our driver,Paddy, was really part of the group instead of just a driver. A highlight was when we met his wife and she spoke to us in Gaelic. Con helped all of my group with after trip plans. 5 of us stayed on in DUBLIN and he had us dropped off at our hotel on the way to taking the group to the airport. I found both the welcome dinner and farewell dinners superb! The hotels were all quite good.
Wonderful week in Ireland
My wife & I took part in the St. Patrick's week tour of Ireland and had a terrific time. This was my first European travel, and first trip with GoAhead. Our tour director, Conn, was entertaining, funny and knowledgeable about the country and its people. His job wasn't easy easy with our diverse group, akin to herding cats at times, but he was cheerful throughout. Our driver, Paddy, was very skillful at his task, and witty besides. The places we visited were well chosen, with the right amount of time at each location, as well as side trips for those of us who weren't pub crawling all the time. I would give this tour my highest recommendation.
St. Patty's Day in Ireland
This was my 1st Go Ahead Tour & I will definitely be a return customer. The accommodations on the tour were beyond my expectations. Our tour director Cornelius was fabulous. There was plenty of information & guided tours along with our own personal free time to explore on our own. I highly recommend this trip to anyone that has ever wanted to visit Ireland.

Milwaukee Rep taps power, passion of 'Raisin in the Sun'
Lorraine Hansberry's "A Raisin in the Sun" is not only one of the greatest American plays ever written. It's also a play - read in school, seen on film and frequently performed - we all think we know better than we actually do.
The Milwaukee Repertory Theater drove these truths home Friday night, opening a galvanic production of "Raisin" that will go down as a landmark we'll be talking about for years - and that I assure you is like no "Raisin" you've ever seen. »Read Full Article

Summerfest reports attendance was up at this year's festival

Sandler and friends reunite for lazy, unfunny sequel
Despite being lambasted by critics, 2010's "Grown Ups" was an enormous hit, grossing $162 million domestically and another $109 million worldwide. It stands to reason that "Grown Ups 2" will do just as well — even though it's made for home viewing when you're flipping channels late at night and nothing else is on.
Once again, producer/co-writer/star Adam Sandler decided to gather all his friends and hang out for a few months — and get a major studio to pay for their get-together. Sometimes you wonder if they even knew (or cared) that cameras were rolling. »Read Full Article(4)

Neko Case kills art contest, gets into it on Twitter
I noticed something in my Twitter stream late last night. Singer-songwriter Neko case was getting into it with artists and designers.
From what I can gather from the long string of tweets, Neko had invited artists and designers to create a poster for her upcoming "The Worse Things Get, The Harder I Fight, The Harder I Fight, The More I Love You" tour to support her new album.
