Also available in: Rice Banana Apple, Multigrain & Apple Sweet Potato, Oatmeal & Peach Apple
2 servings (about ½ cup) of GERBER cereal have 90% of baby's daily Iron needs.
Until what age should I feed my baby infant cereal?
The nutrition of Iron-rich cereal is an important part of the baby's diet until the age of 2. Try new varieties or adding cereal to favorite foods to ensure baby gets the nutrients needed for healthy growth.
Storage: Store in a cool dry place. Use within 30 days of opening.
*if mixing with milk for children over 1 year, heat on HIGH POWER for 15-20 SECONDS
Q: When should I start my baby on solid foods?
Around the middle of your baby's first year, she should be ready to start solid foods. This coincides with her having reached the Supported Sitter developmental stage. To learn more about nutrition and feeding at this stage, please refer to our Nutrition Guide for Supported Sitters.
Before starting solid foods, be sure to discuss it with your pediatrician.
Q: What is the first solid food I should feed my baby?
Rice cereal (such as GERBER® Rice Cereal) is typically the first complementary food introduced to infants. It is made with gentle ingredients and its smooth, fine texture is developmentally appropriate for your baby's first solid food.
Oatmeal (such as GERBER® Oatmeal Cereal) is usually the second cereal offered. Wait about 3 days in between each cereal to see how your baby tolerates them. Watch for signs of allergic responses such as diarrhea, a rash or vomiting. If any of these occur, stop feeding that variety and contact your pediatrician.
Once your baby is eating cereal, you can also try pureed baby foods like GERBER® 1ST FOODS® fruits and vegetables.
To learn more about feeding your baby at this stage of development, read our Nutrition Guide for Supported Sitters.
Q: How do I prepare cereal for my baby?
Your baby's first bite of "solids" should look more like thin milk. Mix 1 tablespoon of cereal with 4 to 5 tablespoons of breastmilk or formula until it has a souplike consistency.
Q: How do I store cereal once it has been opened?
Store cereal in a cool, dry area away from sources of heat. It should also be kept away from products that may have strong odors or flavors.
Q: How long can I keep an opened container of cereal?
An opened container of cereal may be kept up to one month (30 days) in your kitchen cabinet.
Q: Should my baby's diet include cereal?
Yes, most pediatricians recommend starting with an iron-fortified cereal. GERBER® Infant Cereals provide an excellent source of this important nutrient.
Iron is an important nutrient for baby's growth and mental development. Around the middle of the first year, babies' natural iron stores begin to diminish.
Q: Can I feed cereal from a bottle?
We recommend that you do not feed cereal from a bottle, unless directed by pediatrician. Feeding cereal from a spoon helps develop feeding skills.
Q: How do I find the "use by" date on the product?
GERBER® products - Each product is stamped with a "use by" date in the format dd mm yy. For example, a use-by date of August 25, 2010 would be indicated as "25 AUG 10".
Q: When should I begin feeding my baby Sitter-appropriate cereals?
Your baby may be ready if she or he sits independently, shows excitement when food is presented or picks up and holds small objects in his or her hand.
Q: When should I begin feeding my baby Crawler-appropriate cereals?
Your baby may be ready if she or he crawls with his or her stomach off of the floor, may pull his or her self to stand or begins to use his or her jaw to mash food.
Q: When is a good time to introduce wheat into my baby's diet?
After your baby enjoys single grain cereals, try GERBER Mixed Grain cereal, which is made with a smaller amount of wheat. Then introduce GERBER Whole Wheat cereal for new, healthy tastes. For your baby's 1st wheat introduction, mix 1 Tbsp. cereal with 4-5 Tbsp. of breastmilk or formula. If baby tolerates for another 2 days, continue feeding as desired. If you suspect any reactions, stop feeding this cereal and call your pediatrician.
As your baby reaches new milestones, it may be time to look ahead for our Crawler products as your baby gets ready to self-feed.

Unlikely bedfellows: Colbert headed for Democrats' retreat
Updated On: Feb 07 2013 08:25:05 PM CST
To the people of Colbert Nation, a retreat for Democratic House members may be the last place they'd expect to find Stephen Colbert.
Unless the comedian who plays a conservative on television is plotting to take the Democrats down.
Regardless of his agenda, Colbert will appear at the House Democratic Issues Conference on Friday, caucus chair Rep. Xavier Becerra told members on Thursday.
A senior democratic leadership aide told CNN of the announcement.
Becerra told members that Colbert will make remarks to the Democrats gathered at the event, then take questions from House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi.
"We assume this is Stephen Colbert's attempt at bipartisanship," Pelosi spokesman Drew Hammill told CNN.
About a year ago, the tables were turned.
Pelosi appeared on Colbert's television show, Comedy Central's "The Colbert Report," in February 2012 to promote her campaign finance law known as the DISCLOSE Act.
She argued that super PACs and their massive donors should make public significant contributions much sooner than required under current law; Colbert, practitioner of a real super PAC he used as a gag on his show, argued otherwise.
But unlike Pelosi's calls for transparency in campaign finance, House Democrats announced no plans to allow reporters into the session with Colbert.
Colbert closed his super PAC shortly after the November election, diverting the $773,000 left in the account into a 501(c)4 organization, which has even fewer reporting requirements.
Colbert has taken questions from lawmakers before. He appeared at a 2010 House hearing on immigration and spoke from the viewpoint of the character he plays on television.
Former President Bill Clinton is also scheduled to speak at the conference on Friday. President Barack Obama and Vice President Joe Biden also spoke to the group.

Putting Teeth in Shark Conservation
Blue Ocean has begun an exciting new collaboration with our Stony Brook University colleague, Dr. Demian Chapman–an internationally recognized shark expert with almost a decade of experience working on sharks in Belize. Demian and shark biologist, Debra Abercrombie are both Fellows with Blue Ocean Institute during 2013. Their work will help help small, island nations to strengthen their ability to identify illegal shark fishing and enforce recently established shark sanctuaries.
Abercrombie and Chapman's innovative shark fin ID tools can be seen online. Their work helps provide much needed scientific research, training, outreach and DNA-testing tools which can then be used to help protect valuable marine sanctuaries worldwide. Plans for the coming year include Demian, Debra and Carl co-authoring influential articles, videos and blogs to promote shark conservation worldwide.

Sink Technologies and Benefits:
- The Vessel Advantage: Beyond uniqueness and their distinctive modern design, vessel sinks also present a couple of functional advantages. Because the sink is raised off the countertop, overall bathroom clutter presents less of an issue as items are merely level with or below the sink rim, not towering over it and in the way of your arms. Furthermore, bowl-shaped vessel sinks actually free up countertop space directly under the sink rim. Lastly, vessel sinks are much better at containing splashes, making face and hand washing less messy.
- Handcrafted Quality: Kraus vessel sinks are handcrafted in a very labor-intensive process. Starting with only the finest materials, artisans work each sink through its various production stages, with complete control over the entire process. By using hands to get the work done, each Kraus vessel sink is a functional work of art that has seen great care and thought put into its creation. The end result is a flawless sink that shows its attention to details.
Faucet Technologies and Benefits
- Precision Kerox Cartridges: The cartridge's job is to deliver smooth handle operation and water flow, throughout hundreds of thousands of uses, without ever leaking – all while under a punishing 60 pounds-per-square-inch of pressure. For these reasons, it is quite literally what "makes or breaks" the faucet. Kraus understands this, so they take no shortcuts here, importing their cartridges from the world's leading manufacturer of high-end precision ceramic disc cartridges, Kerox in Hungary.
- Swiss-Made NeoPerl Aerators: Aerators are possibly the most under-appreciated component within faucets. Not only do they soften the stream (preventing splashing), but they also control the straightness, diameter, overall delivery of water. Fortunately, like their cartridges, Kraus recognizes this and chooses to takes no gambles here – they import their aerators from NeoPerl in Switzerland, the world's leading manufacturer for high-end and specialty aerators.

Des Moines-West Des Moines Metropolitan Area
Epilepsy: Surgical Options for Epilepsy
What Is Epilepsy Surgery?
Medication can control seizures in most people with epilepsy, but for about 30% of patients, they aren't effective or are intolerable. In some cases, brain surgery may be an option.
Epilepsy surgery is an operation on the brain to control seizures and improve the person's quality of life. There are two main types of epilepsy surgery:
- Surgery to remove the area of the brain producing seizures
- Surgery to interrupt the nerve pathways through which seizure impulses spread within the brain
Surgery is considered only if the area of the brain where the seizures start, called the seizure focus, can be clearly identified, and if the area to be removed is not responsible for any critical functions, such as language, sensation and movement. Extensive evaluation and testing are necessary to determine if surgery is appropriate.
Who Is a Candidate for Epilepsy Surgery?
Surgery may be an option for people with epilepsy whose seizures are disabling and/or are not controlled by medication, or when the side effects of medication are severe and greatly affect the person's quality of life.

Biblical Credibility and Joshua 10: What Does the Text Really Claim?
Once we recognize that no one takes the text literally, and that we have often failed to account for the details in the text regarding the time of day, we can begin anew to try to understand the text as an ancient text rather than as a modern one. As such, we must begin with the idea that the text operates in the world of omens, not the world of physics and astronomy.

Series: Reflections on Reading Genesis 1-3: John Walton's World Tour (3 entries)
Old Testament scholar and BioLogos ECF grantee John H. Walton spent the first seven months of 2013 traveling around the United States and fifteen other countries lecturing on Genesis 1 - 3. In this series, we feature John's reflections on his world tour and the insights he gained from his conversations.
Evolution and Faith in Latin America, Part 2
As I read The Voyage, I often thought about Darwin's other famous work, The Origin of Species, and the delight that Darwin clearly took in the natural world. Writing about a tropical forest in Brazil, he found himself at a loss for words, "…it is not possible to give an adequate idea of the higher feelings of wonder, astonishment, and devotion, which fill and elevate the mind."
Francis Collins by the Book
Considering my own stance on the satisfying harmony of science and faith, you might be surprised to find on my shelves nearly everything written by Richard Dawkins (including "The God Delusion") and my late friend Christopher Hitchens (including "God Is Not Great"). One must dig deeply into opposing points of view in order to know whether your own position remains defensible. Iron sharpens iron.
Faith, Science and Metaphors
How do metaphors impact the dialogue between faith and science? We might start by asking: what are the framing metaphors at work in the current debates? Even using the word "dialogue" here suggests an implicit metaphor that frames my approach to the relationship between faith and science. Imagine substituting "dialogue" with "war;" that would conjure a completely different metaphorical framework.
Series: Apologetic Issues in the Old Testament (3 entries)
This series, by Old Testament scholar Richard S. Hess, was first published as an appendix to Christian Apologetics: A Comprehensive Case for Biblical Faith (Downers Grove: IVP Academic; Nottingham: Apollos, 2011).
The Bible, Evolution, and Grace
If your core value is serving God and you believe that anything but a literal interpretation of the Bible is disobedient to God, you can't hear any of the scientific arguments, and that was the way it was with me. Until I dealt with the loyalty question, I could not proceed to the science.
Breaking Away from a False Dilemma
With a high-school level understanding of science and theology, I was convinced by this "either-or" argument and, to my knowledge, became the first Young Earth Creationist in my local Nazarene church. I knew the enemy and the enemy had a name. It was Evolution.
Engaging Science in the Life of Your Congregation
With so many issues to discuss, Christians can easily get the feeling that science is always attacking the faith. It is essential to balance such conversations with positive responses to God's creation. After all, the primary response to the natural world in the Bible is to praise the God who made it.
Comparing Interpretations of Genesis 1
For concordists, the temptation is to interpret every Bible verse to match the current scientific picture. For non-concordists, the temptation is to interpret every Bible verse that appears to disagree with science as figurative.
Series: Excerpts from "Evolving: Evangelicals Reflect on Evolution" (6 entries)
We need to hear stories from others who have wrestled with evolution and Christian faith. What arguments made them change their views on science? How did they hold fast to their relationship with God? The essays in this series will eventually comprise a book, provisionally titled, "Evolving: Evangelicals Reflect on Evolution."
Take Scripture Seriously
I had spent so much time using the Bible as evidence to prove my point that I hadn't bothered to consider its intended purpose. It was as if I had been given a nice new pair of shoes, but instead of wearing them and letting them take me where I needed to go, I had been using them to kill bugs, prop open doors, and fix wobbly table legs.

A Scientific Commentary on Genesis 7:11
Although committed to the principle of sola Scriptura, Calvin recognized that the Bible would have been written in terms its original recipients would have understood.

But not just yet.

As President Obama reiterated in his State of the Union address, immigration reform will likely entail some combination of easing the path to citizenship for the estimated 11 million undocumented immigrants, and increasing border control and immigration law enforcement. Given that the U.S. already spends about a quarter more on immigration enforcement and border control than on all other federal law enforcement activities combined, it's worth considering where the country could improve enforcement without breaking the bank.
A rapid expansion of personnel and technological resources over the past decade has improved border control chiefly by identifying and targeting areas with historically high volumes of illegal crossings. But building this system out further would be costly, and offer progressively lower returns on investment.
And even if improved border control succeeded in deterring or interdicting more would-be border crossers, the impact would be limited: The vast U.S. borders would be nearly impossible to seal completely, and as many as half of undocumented immigrants enter the country legally, by some estimates.
Although deportations of undocumented immigrants are at an all-time high, at just over 400,000 in 2012, this accounts for a small fraction of the total undocumented population. For this reason, many multiples of the $2.9 billion currently spent on enforcement and removal by U.S. Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (ICE) may be required to significantly reduce undocumented immigrant populations.
Illegal migration is likely to continue as long as there are compelling reasons for foreign citizens to move to the United States -- and there are many, including reunification with family members or a desire to escape persecution. However, a primary motive for most recent immigrants has been economic opportunity, even for immigrants who lack proper documentation to work. An estimated 8 million undocumented immigrants have entered the U.S. workforce, according to the Pew Research Hispanic Center.
If the economic incentive to immigrate illegally could be eliminated, the United States would see a dramatic reduction in illegal immigration. Recognizing the importance of such a strategy, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security has developed programs and enforcement approaches designed to discourage employers from hiring undocumented workers. For example, worksite enforcement programs have targeted employers violating immigration laws with civil and criminal penalties, in some cases seizing assets derived from the employment of unauthorized workers.
Despite efforts by ICE to focus on criminal cases against unscrupulous employers, criminal arrests of business owners and managers who knowingly employ unauthorized immigrants remain fewer than 500 per year. Combined fines and asset forfeitures have reportedly reached annual totals as high as $43.6 million in fiscal year 2010. But averaged across all 8 million unauthorized immigrants in the U.S. workforce, this amounts to less than $5.50 per year (or $0.46 per month). One might imagine that the savings from employing unauthorized workers are orders of magnitude larger. In other words, despite improvements, the risk of criminal charges remains slight and the expected cost of penalties remains small compared to the potential economic gains.
Achieving even these modest enforcement successes has reportedly required over 500,000 case hours per year and a worksite enforcement budget that totaled $126 million in FY 2009. Sufficiently scaling up the existing system of worksite immigration enforcement to more seriously limit unauthorized immigrants' access to the labor market would likely require the huge investment of resources that we have seen, so far, only at the U.S.-Mexico border.
However, the current debate regarding comprehensive immigration reform offers an opportunity to redesign the worksite immigration enforcement system to achieve more efficient enforcement with better intelligence on where undocumented workers are employed.
Employers are required to fill out an I-9 form when hiring a new employee, attesting that they have examined documents establishing the hire's identity and work authorization. But rather than submit such forms to the government, employers are merely required to retain them in their own files. If ICE immigration inspectors want to examine a firm's I-9 forms, they must request them from the employer and wait up to 72 hours to receive them. This is a labor-intensive process with unnecessarily high transaction costs.
If employers were instead required to submit employment eligibility information on all employees -- in the same way they must collect and submit tax ID information -- this could vastly improve ICE intelligence collection and investigation activities.
One approach to developing a mandatory submission system would be through the existing voluntary E-Verify program, which allows employers to check the work eligibility of their employees. If E-Verify were made mandatory, it would place the burden of verifying work eligibility on employers.
That said, mandating the use of E-Verify would be a difficult political battle because it can identify only about half of unauthorized hires due to the misuse of valid identities. And there are real costs to employers and legal workers when legal immigrants or U.S. citizens are incorrectly flagged as unauthorized.
A better approach would be a system that requires employers to electronically submit employees' identity information upon hiring, rather than requiring them to verify the eligibility of their hires.
Such a system would provide significantly improved intelligence, allowing ICE to target employers with a pattern of hiring unauthorized workers. It would largely avoid the problem of denying legal workers employment due to errors in the databases supporting E-Verify.
Given the importance of maintaining access to work and a livelihood for legally authorized workers and maintaining access to a qualified legal workforce for the nation's businesses, any changes to the system of establishing employment authorization will require the input and cooperation of all major stakeholders.
Whether E-Verify becomes mandatory or remains voluntary, it is critical to ensure a fair and timely appeals process to address cases in which authorized workers are erroneously identified as unauthorized.

About Cruise Critic Star Ratings
Holland America Line's Westerdam, part of its Vista class of ships, reminds me of what the cruise line does best. In its restaurants, onboard programs, larger-than-average staterooms, and, most of all, in the service of its crew, Westerdam very deftly balances its commitment to honoring cruise traditions with adding just enough contemporary amenities to keep things fresh.
It's a line that, in this era of casual cruising, celebrates formal nights -- and yet its dining rooms offer a choice of traditional seating scenarios as well as open, more flexible ones. You can still learn how to mix a martini or create a flower arrangement, but you can also take computer classes that range from an introduction to e-mail to editing digital photography. You can watch a chef, ranging from the ship's own to a guest expert from Holland America Line's Food & Wine Magazine partnership, demonstrate a recipe, or you can take part in small group clusters that actually get to make the food at the fabulous Food Network-like Culinary Arts Center kitchen.
Ironically, where there were weaknesses onboard Westerdam, it was in the few areas that have not balanced past and present as carefully. With the immense variety of itineraries around the world that Holland America offers, there's no reason why shore excursions in ports of call couldn't offer more of a selection of offbeat experiences in addition to more typical choices (though applause is due for incorporating recreational options, like cycling and kayaking, where possible). Along those same lines, it was puzzling that, despite creating "On the Map," a new program that aims to offer more immersion of destinations into the cruise experience, there was no meaty series of onboard enrichment lectures. The ship's "travel guide" rarely could answer a reasonable in-port question.
Beyond these quibbles, Westerdam, not to mention Vista-class siblings such as Zuiderdam, Oosterdam and Noordam, has carved itself a unique niche in cruising: It's a ship that hasn't forgotten, in this era of cruise innovation, that the tenets of the tradition -- most notably hospitality, warm service from its crew, delicious meals all over the ship and a cozy ambience that encourages social interaction -- are still what makes a cruise a most satisfying travel experience.
Public Rooms
Explorations Cafe, which was added to this ship after it was built, occupies half of the top-of-ship Crow's Nest area and is truly the heart of Westerdam. At any given time, from morning until late evening, passengers are clustered here, playing board games, putting puzzles together, reading books from one of the best library selections at sea, sipping coffee while reclining in comfortable chairs (occasionally sleeping) and beavering away at Internet terminals.
Next door -- there's no wall separating the two -- is the Crow's Nest Bar, the ship's observations space. Activity from Explorations, particularly during the daytime, tends to spread into this venue.
Otherwise, public rooms are primarily located in one two-deck grouping on Decks 2 and 3.
You can't miss the vast shopping area, which includes boutique-like stores for the usual range of cruise line merchandise, from duty-free alcohol and cigarettes to logo wear and evening clothing. Sometimes, apparel was an odd mix of logo wear and elegant; I can't imagine anyone wearing a crystal-bedecked formal night blouse that was emblazoned with a Holland America Line logo but it was there. There's a small corner for necessities (such as toiletries and, oddly enough, junk food such as Pringles potato chips and a range of candy offerings). The many jewelry shops -- from relatively upscale to trinkets -- really consumed the shopping area.
A small passenger services area is located on Deck 1, at the foot of the atrium. Here's where you'll find the pursers desk, shore excursions and future cruise booking. There's also a small bar.
Westerdam's cabin apportionment reflects the industry-wide trend toward more verandahs, especially at lower price points. Deluxe Verandah Outsides are the smallest category of balcony cabins, measuring 200 square feet with 54-square-foot balconies (sufficiently large for comfortable mesh-and-metal chairs and a small teak pedestal table). Superior Verandah Suites measure 298 square feet (with 100-square-foot balconies) and feature dressing rooms, sofa beds, full-size whirlpool baths with additional shower stalls and dual-sink vanities.
All staterooms have "Eurotop" mattresses, high-thread-count Egyptian cotton bed linens, bathrobes, premium massaging showerheads, magnifying lighted makeup mirrors, powerful hair dryers, direct-dial phones with voicemail, flat-screen televisions, mini-bars and safes. I love the fairly recent addition of DVD players to all cabins; movies can be borrowed from the onboard lending library in the Explorations Cafe.
Our cabin, a deluxe verandah stateroom, was cozy for two, but comfortable, too. There was plenty of storage space (particularly under the bed), a loveseat (we seemed to use that more for storage than to sit on) and a vanity/desk. The bed was supremely comfortable. The bathroom had a tub/shower combination. The only downside was our location; try to avoid Deck 5 as verandahs there look out onto the tops of the lifeboats. The sun's reflection on the roofs of the tenders can make this a hotspot.
In a nice -- and increasingly rare -- touch, on Westerdam (and its Vista-class siblings), all staterooms above inside categories have tubs with showers. At the suite levels, the tubs are whirlpools, and a separate shower stall is added, along with dual sinks.
The smallest cabins on the ship are standard insides at 170 square feet (though some measure 200); standard outsides come in at 185. Twenty-eight cabins are specially designated for passengers with disabilities.
For those wanting more space -- and services -- the ship offers larger suites. Deluxe Verandah Suites increase to 380 square feet (with 130-square-foot balconies), and the beds are kings rather than queens. The largest accommodations are the 1,000-square-foot Penthouse Verandah Suites (with 318-square-foot balconies). Verandahs are large enough to hold chaise lounges and dining-sized tables -- a real plus!
One nice amenity for suite passengers is the Neptune Lounge, a private room with comfortable seating areas, large flat-screen television, reading materials and a concierge, which serves various snacks (from light breakfast fare in the mornings to hors d'oeuvres at cocktail hour). The concierge can book dinner reservations and shore tours, and handle purser's desk requests, as well.
The Culinary Arts Center, housed in the Queens Lounge, the ship's secondary theater venue, and featuring a fully operational demonstration kitchen, is the highlight of Westerdam's daytime programming. Here, you'll find cooking demonstrations from both ship chefs and guest chefs onboard for limited sailings. On our trip, both were superb; I particularly enjoyed Chicago chef Bruce Sherman's demo on how to make a zucchini and mozzarella tartelette. It wasn't necessarily the actual recipe that appealed but his down-to-earth humor and pragmatic approach. For instance, he made his puff pastry from scratch but scoffed at the need to do so at home. "Just buy it at the grocery store, though do thaw it carefully."
On sea days, the Culinary Arts Center hosts wine tastings (of varying degrees of complexity) and a martini mixology class. Expect to pay fees for these; a reasonably advanced "cellar master's navigator wine tasting," which focused on meritages and cabernet sauvginon, cost $15; the martini class was $12.
The ship's "party planner" also led a variety of workshops on entertaining that ranged from creating interesting tabletops to making soup for groups.
Another enrichment-oriented area in which Holland America excels is in computer education, through its Digital Workshop, a partnership with Microsoft. The dedicated computer lab offers classes that range from basics, such as an introduction to Windows and instruction on computer safety and maintenance, to increasingly progressive classes in digital photography and editing. The ship's "techspert" is also available for individual guidance at designated times. All programs are free of charge.
Less successful is Westerdam's "On the Map" focus, which was meant to offer in-depth information on the ports we visited. Its dedicated "travel guide" hardly ever had any interesting information to impart on the itinerary and rarely was able to answer the most basic of passenger questions.
If in most cases Westerdam's daytime offerings are genuinely superb and are best-at-sea, in some cases I was disappointed in its nighttime entertainment. There's nothing wrong with the variety on offer -- classical music the Explorer's Lounge, a pop tune sing-along in the Piano Bar, line dancing in the Queens Lounge, and the Ocean Bar's bizarrely up-tempo cheek-to-cheek dance band -- but none of these staples really performed at the standard that I'm used to on Holland America.
The choice of a solo guitarist, playing pop music in the Crow's Nest, was a head scratcher; this is a venue where people enjoy conversation against a backdrop of soft background music. The guitarist was intrusive.
Ironically, the D.J. at the Northern Lights disco was superb but that venue really doesn't appeal to the majority of Westerdam's passengers. In fact, you'll see more officers and staff there at late hours.
Part of the challenge is that on this vessel, as on its Vista-class siblings, the entertainment venues are not ideally designed. If you're one of the dozen or so who can occupy a seat right around the piano in the Piano Bar, it's a fun experience; otherwise the seats in the rest of the lounge are too spread out to create any kind of ambience. The Ocean Bar, the ship's destination for low-lit, romantic dancing, is oddly interrupted by a major corridor.
In other instances, the music performances simply weren't up to Holland America Line's usual snuff. In the Ocean Bar, the music was weirdly chirpy, making it almost impossible to dance. The classical quartet that presided in the Explorer's Lounge, usually my favorite spot on a HAL ship, was simply lukewarm; short, banal introductions to each composition took away from the music rather than contributed to it.
The ship's evening offerings are by no means limited to music; the casino, on Deck 2, is vast and offers a full range of slot machines (these accept no cash, only your ship card) and table games, such as poker and roulette. And the Vista Lounge, the ship's three-deck main theater, always had an interesting program; on one night, while in Scotland, there was a local music show. On others, you'd find the ship's singers and dancers performing in a traditional cruise ship big production, a game show, a featured performer (in our case the entertainer offered a tribute to Lionel Richie), and even a juggler. Not to be missed in the Vista is its crew shows; there are two per cruise (one's a Phillipine crew show, the other's Indonesian).
The Queen's Lounge (by day the Culinary Arts Center) is a terrific forum for low-key dance music and films.
After enrichment programs and nightly diversions, cruising's third pillar of entertainment -- shore excursions -- was amply represented on Westerdam with at least one active, recreationally oriented tour available in most ports. However, despite the fact that Holland America's ships regularly cruise to nearly every corner of the world, the tour menu itself was pretty much standard fare -- the same offerings you see on most cruise lines. If you want genuinely unique experiences, you'll want to either plan your own excursions or book a private car and guide through the tour office.
Holland America Line automatically adds $11.50 per person, per day, to onboard accounts; this is then shared among waiters, stewards and other service personnel. That amount can be adjusted in either direction by visiting the front desk. A 15 percent gratuity is tacked onto bar bills. Note that gratuities are not automatically included on bills for spa treatments.
While some cruise lines beef up kids' programs to attract business, Club HAL, Holland America's program for youngsters, is directly related to demand and season. The line says that for every 30 children in the age range of 3 - 17, a counselor is provided. KidZone is an area devoted to the youngest guests, while The Loft is a teen dance, video and movie area.
The programs are adequate, but Holland America does not really promote Westerdam as a family ship.
Fellow Passengers
As with other cruise lines, Holland America is expanding its traditional passenger base outside the North American market, so some cruises, like our Rotterdam-based voyage around the British Isles and Ireland, may attract English speakers from the U.K., South Africa and Australia, as well as Europeans. (Especially in keeping with HAL's roots, there were many from Holland.) Regardless of language spoken, most passengers do fit into a particular demographic: traditionally 50-plus, well traveled and upscale.
Dress Code
Depending on the itinerary, the ship will offer two to three formal nights, and passengers really do dress up. Though the casually attired can avoid the main restaurant on those nights, you may feel under-dressed in entertainment venues before and after dinner. Resort casual is otherwise the mainstay, though passengers tend to dress pretty informally during the day.
Fitness and Recreation
Westerdam, like its Vista-class siblings, has gorgeous pool areas. The main pool, housed under a sliding glass magradome roof that can open on sunny days, is elegantly designed, with a sculpture of leaping dolphins and wicker-like lounges with plush, padded cushions. There are three whirlpools.
The aft pool is a lovely retreat. Adults-only, it's got great views off the ship's aft, colorful tiles, plenty of deck chairs and lots of deck space. There are two whirlpools in this pool area.
Another Holland America distinction is its promenade deck, which goes all the way around the ship. It's host to walkers and joggers and also the once-a-cruise On Deck for the Cure event, in which participants make a $15 contribution to the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation and undertake a 5K walk -- complete with music, a pink lemonade party at the conclusion and a terrific sense of communal support.
There's a basketball court (it replaces the tennis court that's found on older HAL ships).
The Greenhouse Spa and Salon is the heart of the ship's spa, fitness and recreation offerings. Operated by the ubiquitous Steiner Leisure, which helms spas on most cruise lines, it occupies the forward area beyond the main pool.
The salon covers the basics, from hair styling to manicures and pedicures, and its wall-to-wall windows, overlooking the sea (or in port, various vistas), offer a pleasant ambience. At the spa, a host of treatments range from usual (Swedish massage and facials) to intriguing options like the hot stones massage (great for easing aches and pains). On our port-intensive itinerary, the spa was very creative in offering specials and packages that were hard to resist; $89 for a 50-minute "twilight massage," held during dinnertime, typically a slow time in the spa, was a bargain as was "the unwinder," a 1.5-hour facial/massage/pedicure treatment for $109.
The highlight of the spa facility is the ship's hydrotherapy pool. Located inside (one glass wall looks out to the main pool area but the view is obscured, both inside and out, by rather dreary-colored shades), it's got bubbling warm water and various sprinklers and showers that gently pummel your body. A separate steam area melts away stress with heated mosaic loungers, scented showers and a steam room. Entrance to these two facilities can be pricey at $15 per person per day. The areas are also not available free of charge to passengers pre- or post-spa treatment, which seems stingy. But look out for occasional port day promotions that offer discounts or include a free visit with treatment.
The fitness facility is well equipped and was always busy, but never seemed overwhelmingly so. Classes in aerobics are available on a complimentary basis. Yoga and Pilates workouts cost $11 per session.

A few things you should know before you sign up:
- Make sure your cell phone provider offers text messaging (aka "SMS") and that this service is enabled for your account/phone. Most cell phones these days come with it.
- We offer this as a free service, but be aware that some cell phone providers charge for incoming messages. Then again, others don't. So if you're not sure, contact your provider. (If they do charge, it's likely inexpensive—like, 2 cents per message.)
- Be aware that the reliability and timeliness of these messages depends on your phone company. We'll hold up our end of the deal and send out the reminders on time—but your phone service provider, which passes the message from us to you, might introduce a delay. This totally depends on your service provider.

text: St. John's University employees with science-minded children can provide them with outstanding preparation for college work in the sciences. Enroll your child now in the St. John's University Science Honors Program for High School Students. The program, which begins its second year in January 2013, is offered by the Department of Biological Sciences and consists of four monthly lectures by leading St. John's research faculty. High school students enrolled in the program also have the opportunity to tour the University's laboratories and speak directly with professors. "After the program ended in the Spring of 2012, I received so many positive emails and phone calls from students and parents," said Ivana Vancurova, Ph.D., Professor of Biological Sciences and the program's creator. "Since we got such positive feedback about the first year, it only made sense to open it up to high school-aged children of St. John's employees, too." The program was designed so highly motivated high school students could complement their science studies with insights and information from St. John's professors. More than 200 students applied to the program in its inaugural year and, based on academic achievement, 150 were selected. The program is offered at no cost, and this year's lecturers include Ales Vancura, Ph.D., Chair and Professor of Biological Sciences; Simon Moller, Ph.D, Professor of Biological Sciences; Yong Yu, Ph.D., Assistant Professor of Neuroscience; and Dr. Vancurova. "So many high school students are interested in sciences, and they seek any opportunity to learn more about recent advances in biomedical research," said Dr. Vancurova. "Many of them will want to major in the sciences in college, and go on to medical schools or other health-related fields, so we feel that this program is a very meaningful service to the community." The deadline to apply is December 15.
