Graduate Scholarships and Financial Aid
Felician University recognizes that many students may need assistance in meeting the cost of a university education. The Financial Aid Office is trained to assist students and families in completing the financial aid process and receiving the maximum amount of aid based on eligibility in all the financial aid programs.
- Be accepted by the university for admission to a degree or certificate program, and
- File the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). The application is available on the web at www.fafsa.ed.gov or in the Financial Aid Office. Students who do not have access to a computer may request a paper version of the FAFSA from the Financial Aid Office. The Felician University federal code is #002610.
The Financial Aid Office determines eligibility for aid programs based on the Federal Methodology legislated by the federal government. By filing the FAFSA, a student is applying for federal, state and institutional aid. Each FAFSA result is reviewed for completeness and accuracy. The university may request additional information from the family to confirm the information reported on the FAFSA is accurate. The FAFSA collects information about the student and student's family including demographic information (name, address, citizenship status, and residency status), the number in the family, the number in university, income, assets, etc. The form requests information from the most recent tax year (for example, for September 2012, you will include information from the 2011 tax returns).
Federal Direct Loans, Federal Grad PLUS and alternative loans are offered to graduate students as part of a financial aid package. Loans are recommended to cover tuition, fees, books and supplies. Students may request additional loan funds to cover educational expenses up to their cost of attendance.
Change in Financial Circumstances
Sometimes a family suffers a change of circumstances in their financial situation. A student should inform the Financial Aid Office if there is a change in the family income as a result of unemployment, retirement, lay-off, separation or divorce, or death of a wage-earner. The Financial Aid Office will collect additional information and determine if the current financial information results in a change in eligibility.
Types of Aid Available
Felician University Alumni Grant: For alumni who graduated from a Felician degree program, do not have an outstanding balance on their account, and have been accepted into a Felician University post-baccalaureate program, the Felician University Alumni Grant is awarded at the rate of $100.00 per credit for non-discounted courses offered on the Felician campus. To maintain ongoing eligibility for the award, a student must maintain a cumulative GPA of 3.00 in their current program. The grant cannot be applied to tuition for courses offered by off-site partnership institutions or study abroad. It also cannot be combined with cohort, ministerial or Catholic school teacher discounts for Felician University programs.
Federal Direct Loan Programs: All students applying for a loan under the Federal Direct Loan Program must file the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). Eligible students enrolled at least halftime may borrow money at low interest rates directly from the U.S. Department of Education to help cover the cost of their education. The Financial Aid Office will recommend a loan amount based on student's cost of education, other financial aid received and annual and aggregate loan limits as determined by federal guidelines.
Borrowers are not required to demonstrate financial need on the FAFSA to receive a Direct Unsubsidized Loan. Interest accrues (accumulates) on an unsubsidized loan from the time it is disbursed. Borrowers can pay the interest while in school, or the interest will accrue and be capitalized (that is, added to the principal amount of the loan). If a borrower chooses not to pay the interest, this will increase the total loan amount to repay.
Students offered a Federal Direct Loan must complete a Master Promissory Note (MPN) and participate in a loan counseling entrance interview at www.studentloans.gov. The maximum loan limits for each 12 month period of enrollment are as follows:
- Graduate Students (per year) - $20,500
- Teacher Certificate Program (per year)- $12,500
- Information about the Direct Loan application process will be provided to students when the student is issued an award letter by the Financial Aid Office.
- Borrowers are required to complete an Exit Interview when they leave the university or drop below half-time. The Financial Aid Office will send information about this process when a student is no longer attending at least half-time.
Federal Direct Grad PLUS
The Federal Direct Grad PLUS loan provides a borrowing option for graduate students, based upon the borrower's credit worthiness. A student may borrow up to their cost of attendance minus all other aid from this federally guaranteed loan program. Students must exhaust their annual Direct Loan eligibility prior to borrowing funds from the Grad PLUS Loan program.
Students applying for a Federal Direct Grad PLUS Loan must complete a credit check, Master Promissory Note (MPN) and entrance counseling online at www.studentloans.gov.
Federal Teach Grant: TEACH (Teacher Education Assistance for university and Higher Education) Grant (loan) is a merit based Federal Title IV program designed to encourage highly qualified teachers to serve in low-income schools in high-need fields. Teaching Obligation: Grant recipients agree to teach for at least four years within eight years of finishing their teacher preparation program and to teach high-need students in designated schools that serve low-income students. If you do not complete the four year teaching obligation, your grant will convert into an unsubsidized loan, which you will have to repay with interest calculated back to the date the funds were originally disbursed. The field you teach in must be a high need field in the state where you teach in order to satisfy your service requirement. According to some estimates, only 20 percent of students who participate in the TEACH Grant Program will be able to use the funds as grants, while many students will see their funds converted to loans with accumulated interest.
New Jersey Class Loans: The New Jersey College Loans to Assist State Students (NJCLASS) is a loan program intended for families of university undergraduate or graduate students. Under the program, a student, parent, legal guardian, spouse, or relative may borrow up to the student's cost of education. Loan information and application are available at www.hesaa.org.
Alternative Loan Programs: Several banks and lending institutions offer credit based loans to students and families to assist with educational expenses. You may choose any lender of your choice. Additional information is available on the Felician University web site and in the Financial Aid Office.
Jobs are available to students through the Federal Work Study or Felician University Student Employment programs. Students who are offered jobs have the opportunity to work on or off campus to earn money to help pay educational expenses.
Federal Work-Study Program (FWS): Students with financial need may earn money to pay for university expenses by working at a variety of on- or off-campus jobs. The federal government finances the major portion of a student's earnings, and the university or off-campus employer finances the remainder. Work-Study provides an opportunity for students to learn professional skills while working for financial assistance. Determination of eligibility is made by the Financial Aid Office. Students interested in obtaining employment on campus should contact the Career Services Office.
Veteran's Educational Benefits
For detailed information regarding a student's eligibility for veterans educational benefits contact the United States Department of Veterans Affairs at www.gibill.va.gov or call the toll free number 1-888-GI-BILL-1 (1-888-442-4551) to speak with a Veterans Benefits Counselor.
Montgomery GI Bill: As provided under Chapter 30 of the Montgomery GI Bill, individuals that entered the military after June 30, 1985 may be eligible for educational benefits under this program.
Post-9/11 GI Bill: The Post-9/11 GI Bill (Chapter 33) is for students with at least 90 days of aggregate military service on or after September 11, 2001, or individuals discharged with a service-connected disability after 30 days. The program became effective on August 1, 2009 and is limited to those veterans with an honorable discharge. The program provides funding for tuition & fees (up to a maximum of $17,500), books & supplies (up to $1,000) and a monthly housing allowance.
Yellow Ribbon Program: The Yellow Ribbon GI Educational Enhancement Program is a provision of the Post-9/11 Veterans Educational Assistance Act of 2008. Felician University participates in the Yellow Ribbon Program which allows institutions to enter into an agreement with the VA to fund tuition expenses that exceed the amount covered by the Post-9/11 GI Bill (see above). Felician University will match the VA contribution so the total amount available to the student from the Post-9/11 GI Bill and the Yellow Ribbon Program will cover the entire cost of tuition & fees at Felician University.
Other Veterans' Benefits: Additional Veterans' Educational benefits for dependents and widows of veterans that died in service-related causes. Individuals in the Selected Reserve (Chapter 1606) and those that contributed to the Veterans Educational Assistance Program (VEEP-Chapter 32) also may be eligible for VA educational benefits. For additional information regarding Veterans' Educational Benefits, contact the State of New Jersey Department of Military and Veteran Affairs State Approving Agency, PO Box 340, Eggert Crossing Road, Trenton, New Jersey 08625.
Other Programs
Advanced Education Federal Nursing Traineeship Program: Students in the Master of Science in Nursing degree program should contact the MSN department chair regarding eligibility criteria for this program.
Vocational Rehabilitation Educational Benefits: Funds may be available for students with physical or mental disabilities that result in substantial handicaps to employment. Contact local Vocational Rehabilitation Services for additional information.
Employee Tuition Reimbursement Program: Many employers will pay tuition for employees who successfully complete course work at Felician University. Please check with the Personnel office at one's place of employment.
Financial Aid Policies
- Students receiving financial aid must be making satisfactory academic progress according to the university's policy. See Academic section of catalog.
- Students who are United States citizens (including U.S. nationals) or permanent residents of the U.S. (possessing a Permanent Resident Card I-551) may be considered for financial aid. Other individuals who may be eligible for aid are those possessing a Conditional Green Card (I-551C) or an Arrival-Departure Record (I-94) from the Department of Homeland Security showing any one of the following designations: "Refugee," or "Asylum Granted," or "Parolee" (I-94 confirms paroled for a minimum of one year and status has not expired), T-Visa holder (T-1,T-2,T-3, etc) or "Cuban-Haitian Entrant or the holder of a valid certification of eligibility letter from the Department of Health and Human Services showing a designation of "Victim of human trafficking." Students in the U.S. on a F1 or F2 student visa, a J1 or J2 exchange visitor visa, or a G series visa (pertaining to international organizations) are, by definition, in this country on a temporary basis and are not eligible to receive federal or state student aid. Documentation of permanent residency status may be required prior to the awarding of financial aid.
- Students must not owe a refund to any federal (Pell, FSEOG, ACG, SMART) or state grant (NJ TAG, EOF and/or Distinguished/Urban Scholarship) to receive financial aid.
- Students will not be eligible to receive financial assistance from any source (federal, state and university) if they are in default on a student loan received through any federal program (Federal Perkins Loan, Federal Direct Loan, Federal Direct PLUS Loan, Federal Grad PLUS Loan, Federal Stafford Loans, and/or Federal PLUS Loan).
- In no case can a student's total aid package from all sources (grants/scholarship, loans, and/or Federal Work-Study) exceed the student's cost of education.
Verification Policies
All students who are selected by the federal or state agency or the university for verification will be required to provide additional documentation which demonstrates the accuracy of the data which was previously provided on a financial aid application (FAFSA). Students will be given approximately one month to provide the information once it is requested. Failure to complete the verification process may result in cancelation of financial aid.
Treatment of Financial Aid When a Student Withdraws
(Return of Funds Policies and Procedures)
Felician University will provide a fair and equitable refund to all students who leave school prior to the completion of an enrollment period for which they are charged. Students who withdraw from school are subject to the Tuition Refund Policy issued by the Treasurer's Office at the start of each semester or term.
Students are awarded financial aid to attend school. If a student ceases attendance or withdraws, prior to the completion of an enrollment period a 'return of funds' calculation must be performed to determine the amount of aid a student has earned and may keep based on Federal Title IV, State of New Jersey, and/or Institutional policies and regulations.
Policies for Return of Funds
- Federal Title IV 'return of funds' calculation is determined in accordance with the Return of Title IV Funds policy. Changes to federal law may affect this policy.
- State 'return of funds' calculation is accordance with N.J.A.C. 9A:9-2.12 award adjustments/refunds policy. In all cases the refund to the state must represent its 'fair share' of the total available refund as determined by the Institutional Refund Policy.
- Institutional 'return of funds' calculation is determined based on the same rate the student will be charged in accordance with the Institutional Refund Policy as prescribed by the Treasurer's Office.
Procedure for determining the Federal Return of Title IV Funds
Procedures for determining the Return of Title IV Funds are federally mandated. The law specifies how a school must determine the amount of Federal Title IV program assistance that a student earns if they withdraw from school. The Title IV programs that are covered by this law are: Federal Pell Grants, TEACH Grants, Direct (Stafford) Loans, Direct PLUS Loans, Direct Grad PLUS and Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grants (FSEOG).
The amount of financial aid that a student earned is determined on a prorate basis based on the withdrawal date. For example, if a student completes 30% of the payment period, 30% of the financial aid originally scheduled to receive is earned. Once a student completes more than 60% of the payment period, all of the financial aid scheduled to receive for that period is earned. If a student did not receive all of the funds earned, a Post-withdrawal disbursement may be due to the student. Felician must get the student's permission before it can disburse these funds.
The procedures for determining the calculation are as follows:
- Determine the Withdrawal Date
- Calculate the percentage of the enrollment period completed
- Calculate the amount of Title IV Assistance the student can keep
- Determine the amount of Title IV funds to be returned or repaid to the financial aid programs
- Federal student financial aid will be returned to the federal government in the following order: Unsubsidized Direct Loans, Subsidized Direct Loans, Direct PLUS/Grad PLUS Loan, Federal Pell Grant, Federal SEOG Grant, Teach Grant, other federal sources of aid
If the student officially withdraws (with proper notification): The withdrawal date is the date Felician determines the student either began the withdrawal process, or the date the student provided official notification to Felician, in writing or orally, of his or her intent to withdraw.
If the student unofficially withdraws (ceases attendance without proper notification): The withdrawal date is the date Felician documents as the students last date of attendance at an approved academic related activity. If attendance cannot be determined in all courses, 100% of the federal aid must be returned.
If a student has questions about Title IV program funds, information is also available on the Web at www.studentaid.ed.gov.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. - Former Tennessee Lady Vol Olympian and All-American Nikki McCray was among a class of six inducted into the Women's Basketball Hall of Fame on Saturday evening.
Joining McCray in the Class of 2012 were Nancy Fahey (coach), Pam McGee (player), Inge Nissen (player), Robin Roberts (contributor) and Dawn Staley (player). They comprised the 14th group of inductees into the hall.
During her career at Tennessee from 1991-95, McCray led the Lady Vols to three SEC regular season titles, two conference tournament championships and four NCAA tournament appearances. She earned All-America and SEC Player of the Year honors in both her junior and senior years. The 5'11" forward from Collierville, Tenn., scored 1,572 career points (12.4 ppg career average) as a Lady Vol. Additionally, McCray was a two-time Olympic gold medalist and three-time WNBA All-Star, and she scored 2,528 points during her nine-year WNBA career.
McCray's inclusion in the WBHOF marks the eighth Lady Vol player to be enshrined, as she joins Cindy Noble and Patricia Roberts (2000), Holly Warlick (2001), Cindy Brogdon (2002), Daedra Charles and Bridgette Gordon (2007) and Jill Rankin (2008). Lady Vol Head Coach Emeritus Pat Summitt (1999) and former UT Women's Athletics Director Gloria Ray (2010) also have been enshrined.
"I am so happy for Nikki," said Summitt. "She overcame obstacles and injuries to have a great college career and then went on to win two Olympic gold medals and be a WNBA All-Star. Nikki's perseverance and hard work paid great dividends for her."
With the addition of the Class of 2012, the list of individuals who have been recognized as Women's Basketball Hall of Fame inductees increased to 127.
The Women's Basketball Hall of Fame's Board of Directors serves as the selection committee in determining which individuals will be inducted each year.

In order to be considered for selection for induction, an individual must meet the following prerequisites:
* Player: Must be retired from the highest level of play for at least five years

It has been announced that The University of Southampton has been successful in finding funding to save the Broadlands Archives. The Trustees of the Archives had decided to sell the archives which might have meant that they would leave the UK. and find a new home overseas.
To find out more abut the archives visit the website.
Here is a small description from the site.
For more than 20 years, the University Library has held in its Special Collections Division the Broadlands Archives. The archive contains some 4,500 boxes, dating from the sixteenth century to the present, centred on the Temple (Palmerston), Ashley, Cassel and Mountbatten families. It is an exceptional collection, including many materials of the first rank for the history of the UK and its relations with its colonies and foreign powers. The Mountbatten papers are effectively the foundation archive for the modern states of India and Pakistan, and in addition illuminate Britain's first major act of post-war decolonisation; the papers of the third Viscount Palmerston include some 40,000 letters, many from his private correspondence as Foreign Secretary and Prime Minister; and the diaries of the seventh Earl of Shaftesbury, reformer and philanthropist, are one of the great monuments to social progress in Victorian England. There is wide coverage of politics, diplomacy, military, literary and cultural affairs, besides materials for the Ashley and Temple estates in Hampshire and for Ireland.

Task force to decide future of Sandy Hook Elementary
Two options in play for site of deadly shooting
NEWTOWN, CONN. - A Newtown task force is set to take up the question of what to do with the school where 20 first-graders and six educators were killed in December.
The board of 28 town elected officials is scheduled to meet Friday and may vote on a recommendation.
The task force has narrowed the choices down to two: renovating or rebuilding on the existing Sandy Hook Elementary School site where the killings occurred, or building a new school on property near the existing school.
Town residents have expressed mixed opinions on whether the Sandy Hook school should be torn down or renovated.
Students have been attended classes in a renovated building in neighboring Monroe that was renamed Sandy Hook Elementary School.
The panel's recommendation would go to a local school board for approval.

I have just joined this forum so apologies if this topic has been discussed many times before :)
I am considering teaching English in Asia, I do not have a TEFL certificate but I am a native english speaker with a degree. I am in the process of weighing up different potential countries and their pros and cons with regards to teaching, countries I have been looking at so far include: Thailand, Cambodia, Laos, China, Korea, Japan (any other suggestions are welcome).
After travelling in SE Asia for 6 months a while ago I became enamoured with Thailand and the thought of spending some time living and working there is very appealing. However, doing some research made me think that Thailand may not be the most practical place for me at the moment, though I haven't given up on it entirely. The main reason that Thailand is out for now is that unfortunately I will be setting off with a more limited budget than hoped for.
So I have been looking at countries that are somewhat more financially rewarding, these seem to be China, Korea and Japan. I believe that there are teaching opportunities in these countries where a return flight is included as well as payed for accomodation and reasonable wages. I am thinking of ruling out Japan due to high cost of living, Korea is tempting but I have read that this is not the most beginner friendly teaching environment, which leads me to China.
My reasoning is that if I go to China I will be more financially stable and after having spent some time there I should have more flexibility to move on to other countries in the region at a future date should I choose.
Any advice would be very welcome,
Thanks for reading

Vera Wang Fall 2013
"It was time to go back to showing what we're capable of, which is real construction," said Vera Wang backstage after her fall runway show at Lincoln Center on Tuesday morning. "We used quality fabrics and techniques to create a certain volume and shape; all of these things suddenly felt very new to me." "Back" also referred to a time in period dress where bustles (revisited as amplified peplums) and grandiose robes (seen here as diaphanous, elongated jackets) were the order of the day. But despite loosely traveling back in time, Wang's vision came across as strikingly forward looking. "The attitude has to be now," she said.
The oversize egg-shape volumes and graphic color-block sheaths that opened the show felt more reminiscent of the sixties than anything earlier, but were soon replaced with rather more lyrical lavender and tangerine jacquard skirts, kimono tops, and elaborately wrapped origami skirts; an amped-up extension of Wang's Asian fusion–themed pre-fall collection (and proof that this designer has a good command of color, despite her sometimes more shadowy-hued inclinations). The architecture of the silhouette, as Wang explained to begin with—and that is turning into a theme on the Manhattan runways—was key. But simple as that may at first sound, the assembly of these pieces was anything but straightforward: Dresses, opera coats, and elaborate bishop-sleeve capes were diligently lined in muslin so they'd retain a stiff, voluminous silhouette. Jeweled tops, metallic brocade pants, and rhinestone-embellished underskirts meanwhile, were all hand-developed. All in all, a romantic and beautifully constructed lineup of possibilities for fall's holiday season.

Recap: T.I. Played at Capitale for AXE Music's One Night Only Concert Event
If there was ever a single, short and stacked spitter that made me so weak in the knees, that distinguishing honor would go to T.I. Far be it from me to note that he just got himself wifey-ed (he'll always be a single stud to me), but we're not here to talk rings and things...no, we're aiming to dish on the 3+ hour performance that the rapper put on last night at Capitale, as part of AXE Music's One Night Only event. If you stalk twitter, you may have seen a bevy of jawdropping tweets from those in attendance, and all warranted the gasps, oohs, and aahs that kept a'rolling out.
Bringing out his best buddies and beauties, TIP ran the gamut between songs both new and old (reminder: King Uncaged comes out on September 28), in a set that spanned 30 cuts and a guests that made you go "oh wow yes".
Starting off with the fitting track, I'm Back, the dude was a nonstop whirl of sweat, spit, sex and stealth moves as he entertained in this, his first live show since getting freed from the pinstripes. Yep, this being his premiere post-prison performance, the rapper seemed not ot have missed an steps as he brought out the likes of Cam'Ron, Mary J Blige (yeah!), B.o.B., Keri Hilson, Swizz Beats, Maino and a number of his homeboys to brrrraapp into the mic.
Highlights included the inclusion of Ms. Mary J, along with the crowd pleasers Live Your Life and the current chart-topper, Got Your Back, with the aforementioned Hilson.
Special thanks to Edelman, AXE and Sarah for hooking up a super amazing evening. Video of Live Your Life can be checked out below, and the full gallery of images reside right here.

Assistant coach Fred Hill turned six shades of red. Bill Carmody was livid. At that point, with Northwestern down by five, the Wildcats could easily have wilted.
The thing is, they just keep coming back stronger.
Back on the other end, with the focus still intact, Alex Marcotullio stole the ball. He relayed the ball to Dave Sobolewski, who found Reggie Hearn for the lay-in. And-one.
On the next possession, Marcotullio – who anchored the 1-3-1 zone – came up with another steal. The Wildcats had a four-on-one. Sobolewski found Hearn again. And-one.
Minnesota coach Tubby Smith could see the frustration mounting. The No. 12 Gophers were rattled by Northwestern. They struggled with the zone, and somehow let the Wildcats pull away.
When the final whistle sounded after a 55-48 win, NU hardly reacted. The half-full student section tried to compensate by shouting twice as loud. But few expected this, save for the guys on the court.
Drew Crawford's name never came up in the postgame press conference. Neither did the word "injury." The Cats are busy finding their identity, ready to make a late-season run. At 3-4, traveling to Nebraska on Saturday, NU has an excellent chance of returning to .500 in conference play. Though the remaining schedule is still difficult, the team delivered a strong message on Wednesday.
Don't count them out.
Tonight, NU struggled in several areas. They made only 17 of 32 free-throw attempts. They allowed Minnesota to grab 15 offensive rebounds in the first half. It was far from the perfect performance. But with aggression, heart, and savvy play, NU earned a memorable victory.
It began with Jared Swopshire, the inconsistent senior looking to become something more than a role player. In the opening frame, he carried his team. Swopshire nailed four of his five first-half field goal attempts. With the rest shooting just 31 percent, those baskets were necessary.
Senior Reggie Hearn – the emotional leader – picked up the slack. He scored eight of his 13 points in the second half, including those consecutive and-ones. After the game, it was hard to tell whether he was emotional or simply spent. In his final season, the former walk-on is willing the Cats into contention.
Alex Marcotullio, who was laboring through a season-long shooting slump, has found his place on this team. He played 16 minutes in the second half, and posted a game-high three steals to go along with two critical three-pointers.
In a collective effort, new starter Tre Demps contributed. Despite connecting on just three of his 10 shots, he managed to make an impact. He showed promise with consistent drives to the rim, and held his own on the defensive end.
These are just some of the heroes from this Northwestern win. No Crawford, no Cobb, no Lumpkin. Yet the team pulled off one of the most surprising wins in recent program history.
There's something about this NU team that was missing in past seasons. Maybe it's a sense of urgency, driven by motivation to prove themselves to a disillusioned fan base.
One thing is for certain: NU believes it can beat anyone. And after tonight, we're starting to believe them too.

I'd agree that a factory inspection might be a good idea.
This may be a silly question, but did you happen to look at this area prior to shooting the weapon, or only after it had been fired? I'm just wondering if they were there all along (factory defect, perhaps), or if they developed during the course of shooting.

'Health Three60' focuses on citizens who work to help improve health
Monday, Nov. 12, 2012
The next episode of Health Three60 highlights the work of citizens who are actively working to improve the health outcomes and lives of their fellow Kentuckians on both a community and state-wide level. It premieres Monday, Nov. 12 at 9/8 pm on KET.
One of the inspiring — and heartbreaking — stories featured in this program is the work of Charlotte Wethington, whose son Casey died at the age of 23 of a heroin overdose.
Casey's life and death were the inspiration for The Matthew Casey Wethington Act for Substance Abuse Intervention, a law that became effective in Kentucky on July 13, 2004, and permits parents, relatives and/or friends to intervene on the substance use disorder of a loved one, regardless of age and without criminal charges.
The program will also feature the East Kentucky Reproductive Health Project, an effort led by young women who are producing and distributing media that explores the sexual and reproductive health experiences, concerns and needs of women in the region.
In addition to the work done by the organization, Health Three60 also tells the story of the power of people sharing their personal stories and how social media is increasingly being used in the realm of advocacy.
Health Three60, which is produced with funding from the Foundation for Healthy Kentucky, also airs Tuesday, Nov. 13 at 11/10 am and Wednesday, Nov. 14 at 4/3 pm on the Kentucky Channel.

|General Technical Chat This section is for technical discussions relating to general maintenance, electrical issues, engine trouble, and recalls.
|Topic Review (Newest First)
Thanks fror checking though. Had the situation been different, you would have saved me a major headache!
Why are you removing them?
For 99% of us, we never touch them. It's one of those things where if they aren't leaking, don't touch them.
Permatex "Elixirs"
Permatex Super "300" seems to be formulated for exactly this type of application. (re-sealing plug caps)
From Permatex webstie: Non-hardening sealant designed to resist heat transfer fluids such as oil or antifreeze.
Does anyone have experience with Super 300?
A few permatex products were mentioned earlier in this thread. (Specifically Permatex #2 and Permatex Indian Head)
What are the similaraties/differences between Super 300, #2, and Indian Head?
P.S. - Congrats to CitizenPete on what sounds like a resolved issue!
I am a few months behind . . soaking the plug caps in liquid wrench. Will attempt removal tomorrow!
I am not sure if Steal Seal will work on those plugs. I did use it on my 2000 Nissan Truck that had a blown gasket and the gasket got fixed within a couple hours. I almost did not believe it.The sealer works on repairing minor head gasket leaks only but you will need to follow the directions. You can use it as a preventative measure too.
Curious to know if it will work for your application.
According to one of the "perfessionel" mechanics that looked at the plugs with a high intensity flash light and the eyes of a Ziess macro lens, "I see small bubbles around one of the freeze plugs". I saw them too, but perhaps it was the PB Blaster baking off?
Time will tell.
Today I replace the shot PCV hose and get the thermostat back on, and a valve cover gasket. The trans fluid and filter is planned for next week. I will probably forgo the timing belt for now (?), unless I can find someone to do it for about 200 or less (sans parts). Also need to replace 2 mismatched tires with new ones.
So far:
body work (hood and fender)
filters (cabin, air, fuel, oil)
the PCV hose (next)
License Plates and registration
Tires -2 (planned)
auto trans filter/fluid (planned)
timing belt (on hold)
hopefully this will get it through inspection and on the road for a while
It's amazing how much and how fast money gets poured into this project.
|Good luck. I don't know how those sealers will work when there's nothing to seal- no holes to close. Here's to hoping you sealed it already yourself
Ran the Steel Seal trough the coolant system.
I drained the coolant, removed the thermostat and replaced the housing with just the gasket from the thermostat. Then I ran with the Steal Seal and distilled water as recommended for 1/2 hour, then letting the engine cool and repeating. Then I drained the Steal Seal and will replace the thermostat and put in new green coolant at 50/50 mix.
I did purchase a new housing and thermostat, but so far I don't think I will need it, unless I break something on the next R&R. It is fun get that thing out of there.
While the thermostat housing is out I need to replace the PCV hose, which has a gaping hole in it behind the motor. Then I'll replace the thermo housing and tube and refill.
I did the fuel filter today as well.
Time will tell on the sealer. If I see anything on inspection or any side effects from the sealer I will post again.
Thanks for the help.
Learning more and more about the Focus every day.
|i have heard good things about the "steel seal", the coolant flush is easy and a timing belt should only take but a few good hours three tops, i do mine in about 45 minutes...why not do the timing on it yourself and save some money, just saying.also im guessing the head is one piece all together.maybe someone else can confirm that here.
Update: OK so I got a proper Torx to fit my 3/8" breaker bar, which I carefully turned and of course stripped out the torx head in the Freeze Plug on the first turn.
I invited a couple "professional" mechanics over and for $20 they brought the pressure pump w/ screw adapter for the cooling reservoir. We pumped it up and didn't see anything so I thought heating up the engine made sense. Then I put the valve cover back on, ran the engine for 20 minutes and we pumped up the pressure in the coolant system.
Guess what we saw? NOTHING! NOTTA! No leak of any kind. I even alternately pulled a plug wire to see if anything was leaking. after shutting down we pulled off the valve cover and I dripped soapy water around the Freeze Plugs, but I didn't see any leaks with the engine hot and the coolant system pressurized.
Maybe the slight turn before it stripped helped? I did slightly tighten the threaded plug before I tried to break it free the other direction. I felt and saw no movement.
What next?
The one mechanic thought that there might be a leak in the head???? If I understood what he was saying, he thought the valve head was designed as two pieces (a split head?) before the block and there may have been a leak from around a the spark plug? I didn't grasp any of that, as I believe the valve head bolts directly to the block (but I don't know this engine nor do I have a shop manual), but I found this online: http://www.enginediagrams.org/ford-z...al.html#more-4 and this image looks like it's a one piece head :
This same fellow is giving me a price for a timing belt job.
So where do I go from here with the leak that has disappeared? After much due diligence, including reading all the pros, cons, pluses, minuses, the patents, and numerous forum posts and mechanics testimonials and warnings, i have decided to add a product called Steel Seal to the coolant.
Steel Seal Claims and Information
I have to flush the coolant anyway as part of the planned car maintenance, so I will replace the thermostat/housing, and probably the water pump (with the timing belt job).
The vacuum leak in the PCV hose was a good find, so that gets replaced. (see my last post above - off-topic)
As always, constructive criticism, and input is very welcome! Thanks!
My Daughter is asking where her car is!

|Students Visit Firms and Alumni in New York City
|Alumni welcome School of Business students on their home turf.
Be active. Concentrate on more than academics.
That was the takeaway lesson for Jackelyn Branco '14, who has twice taken the annual September visit to New York City for top accounting and finance students.
"The most important lesson was to get really involved in the Business School and on campus, to be a well-rounded person, not to just try to get a 4.0 (GPA) but be active in sports and clubs, be a multifaceted person," said Branco, a dual major in business administration and accounting.
"I heard the message last year and that's when I changed everything," she added.
The New York City trip includes visits to employers and alumni at major accounting and finance firms, allowing students to learn about jobs, internships and industry trends. At each visit, students network with employer representatives and alumni. Thirty-three undergraduate and two graduate students made this year's two-day trip.
After the 2012 visit, Branco applied to become president of Ithaca College's chapter of Beta Alpha Psi, the international honor organization for financial information students and professionals. She is now the president, as well as the communications manager for the Ithaca Real Time Fund, a $100,000 fund students manage in the Real-Time Portfolio Management class.
For Jonathan Wheeler '14, an accounting major and legal studies minor, the lesson was to apply to company leadership programs as a sophomore or junior.
"This allows both the student and the company to get to know each other and gives the students a better opportunity to be selected for an internship," said Wheeler, who also has made the trip twice.
"The trip changed my approach to my career because I realized that public accounting is what I want to do."
Next semester he will intern in the tax department at UHY Advisors in Albany as he also applies to the MBA-PA graduate program in the School of Business.
The trip is a signature event of the Business Link-Professions Program, explains Assistant Dean for Student Services Dawn Kline, the lead organizer. She credits the school's Professional Development Coordinator and accounting Professor Pat Libby for coordinating the schedule and preparing students in how to best to represent the school and themselves.
"At each site, the students had to be pulled away from their conversations so that we could remain on schedule," Kline said. "Their professionalism and initiative in making those connections was striking. We have had a number of firms post positions or solicit resumes from students participating in the trip."
Dean Mary Ellen Zuckerman calls the New York City trips "a hallmark of our programs that provide excellent value and experience for our students. The alumni and employers have been very positively impressed with the preparation and demeanor of our students, and it has definitely helped with jobs and internships."
The trip's first day ended with an alumni networking reception in the Triumph Room of Providence NYC, 311 W. 57th St. Students from the ICNYC Semester attended as well.
"Meeting with the younger alumni in New York City and getting their fresh perspective on working in the financial services industry," was invaluable for Branco. "They gave advice on applying for jobs and what courses to take on campus. They talked about what they would have done differently when they were students," she said.
Tips on taking an extra course in advanced spreadsheets and in accounting and finance have helped Branco on her career path. She will intern at PwC next summer in assurance-financial services before studying for her MS in accounting.

I have a 1967 Mercury Monterey Breezeway, that my grandparents bought new back around 1970. It was my grandmothers daily driver till probably the late 80s and they keep it running -till about 1990 or so and for the past 15- 20 years it has been sitting in there garage and I want to get it back into running condition for my grandmother and my dad and it would be cool to drive. It has the FE 390 all orignial which ran when it was put into the garage. I was wondering what I need to do before I put a new battery in it and fill it up with gas. I figured change all the fluids(i.e. oil coolant brake power steering) and replace the gas tank which has probably rusted.So, what I am trying to figure out what I need to do before i turn the key for the first time. Is there anything huge I am missing? What do y'all recommend doing so I can get this car running again?
volsfan87 WELCOME ABOARD:The first this before firing the old girl up. Did any little critters make their home under the hood while it sat?Take all the spark plugs out.Spray Wd-40 in each cylinder Don't be affraid to spray it in there. After a few hours try turning the crankshaft. Spray more WD-40 in the cylinders.Basicly you covered most of it. I would be concerned about the gas tank, and all the fuel lines and maybe go through the carb. Once you get ie running get it maybe in the street and do some hard braking with it. If the lines are going to blow,your not far from home..Good Luck
I don't see anything living in it. It was keep in a garage in a residental area so it would be hard for them to have gotten in there. How can I see if the fuel lines are rusted out? I have already found a new gas tank for it. But is there a way to push gas through the line to see if rust comes out. I was thinking when I disconnect it from the gas tank I could disconnect it from the carb to but how can I force the gas through it without the fuel pump? Do you have any ideas how i can check this out?
The reason I asked about little critters Chick Monks or Ground Sqrirrels are all over they make a mess.If you get a jegs catalog look to see if they sell an oil pump priming tool. Fords rocker arms are feed oil thru the block thru the head thru the rocker arm stands. It takes them quit awhile to get oil to the rocker arm. JEGS lists them for Ford,I don't see one for 390. website www.jegs.com It will serve 2 purposes. You'll know if the oil pump is still working,2 you'll have primed the engine with oil before you start the engine. Don't rush, it sounds like a nice ride. If that is the 390 with a 4BBL. they were making 270 in 1970. Thats why you want to prime the oil pump also IT WOULD NOT HURT TO PUT A CAM BREAK IN OIL IN. The oil companies don't use ZDDP any more. That was a Zinc additive for cam break in on new cams,but because the engine hadn't been started in so long it will help save the cam.If you can take the pickup and sending unit cover up you should be able to look inside the tank. Sometime radiator shops can pressure test and flush them,see if there are any close by. The carb and the gas tank I worry about the most 20 years ago is about when the Unleaded gas with 10% alcohol really started being used. So you might want to get the carb rebuilt so it will handle the fuel.ThanksBob
Cool ride. I have a 1964 Mercury Montclair Maruader 2dr HT, 390 as well. Good advice above. Go to www.pure-gas.org to find which stations near you seal "pure" gasoline. Our older rides do not like that ethanol stuff. I use Valvoline VR1 oil designed for flat tappet camshafts, not to expensive at local NAPA. Good luck with the new project!Post some pics at www.facebook.com/fullsizeford

The smallest cell has had a long career in the spotlight
Harold J. Morowitz
Now that Craig Venter, Hamilton Smith and Clyde Hutchison, visionaries in the attempt to synthesize a living cell, have created three species of mycoplasma into landmarks on the road to their ambitious goal, mycoplasmas have become a favorite taxon in the popular press and the world of futuristic biology. When I first encountered these organisms they were known as pleuropneumonia-like organisms—PPLOs—and few dreamed of the glory that lay ahead for this enigmatic group. How did these obscure microbes became important, indeed central, in understanding what it takes to be a living organism? The story will be told from an idiosyncratic and personal point of view—the view from my bench over five decades—and will show how mycoplasma instructed—and deceived—us about the nature of life.
As an assistant professor of biophysics at Yale University in the late 1950s, I decided to focus on the origin of life, a subject that had intrigued me since I had read Erwin Schroedinger's profound little book, What is Life? Agreeing with da Vinci that simplicity is the ultimate sophistication, I decided to look for the smallest and simplest free-living organism, thinking it would be the closest to the earliest organisms. Serendipity struck and Bob Cleverdon, professor of microbiology at the University of Connecticut, appeared in my office and announced that he was looking for a laboratory at Yale to spend a one-year sabbatical. Bob was a broadly trained and experienced bacteriologist, and the search for the smallest and simplest free-living microbe struck his imagination.
Shortly thereafter our collaboration began. Bob wrote letters to a large group of bacteriologists he knew, and I took to Bergey's Manual of Determinative Bacteriology and the American Type Culture Collection looking for species with words like parvulus in the species name, hinting at tiny cells. Soon cultures were arriving by mail, and the incubator became filled with flasks and petri dishes. The search was complicated by the fact that the smallest bacteria were near the limit of visibility using optical microscopy, and we were not at all sure about what criteria to use as the measure of simplicity. While we were pondering this, the DNA genome became accepted, and the DNA content—total weight and ratio of nucleotides—of several bacterial genomes were appearing in the literature. It seemed obvious to us that simplicity was the same as the smallest amount of DNA in the bacterial chromosome. At that time the genome and the single bacterial chromosome were considered to be the same. Our task changed to seeking the organism with the smallest amount of DNA in the postdivisional cell.
At this juncture serendipity struck again when Cleverdon became aware of the work on pleuropneumonia-like organisms being done by Mark Tourtellotte, a graduate student in the Department of Animal Diseases at the University of Connecticut College of Agriculture. A conversation between Bob and Mark informed us that PPLOs could pass through the fine filters that captured normal bacteria and hence were probably very small, although the fact that they lacked a rigid cell wall might indicate that they were sufficiently deformable to ooze through the filter. In any case it was clear that PPLOs had to be added to our collection of candidate organisms and that a new array of laboratory techniques would have to be learned.
Eventually Bob's sabbatical was over and he returned to the University of Connecticut, passing the baton to Mark Tourtellotte, who was traveling in the opposite direction from Connecticut to Yale for a post-doctoral fellowship. The smallest-genome project now had two nodes operating cooperatively.

'It's not the first time the centerman has moved to wing in his career, but he hadn't done it in awhile. Gaustad said, "We changed it over due to the injury I had there for a bit and it's been easy with Brad Boyes. He's a good player and he's easy to play with, he talks a lot and we communicated about me playing LW and him and I interchanging at center during shifts so it's not like it's fulltime left wing, it's more of kind of a hybrid of it's left wing and center and both times we fill in for each other pretty well there. It's been pretty easy with Pat Kaleta and Brad Boyes, they're helping me out a lot with it."'

Sarasota update
Travis Wood is done for the day with 3.1ip, 3h, 4bb, 6k and 1 unearned run and 1 earned run that Montano allowed to score as an inherited runner. He was on a 60 pitch count today. That is his final line.
Apparently there was an error in the box score. Looks like Travis walked 4 batters and not 3 before he was taken out.

Discussion in 'Great Skate Debate' started by jkl, Mar 19, 2013.
HE'S TOO SHORT, HE'S TOO SHORT, HE'S TOO SHORT (and slight). :deadhorse: Lather, rinse, repeat.
LOL! Not suggesting him, but was just asking if he was recently searching for someone.
It's Andrew Speroff isn't it???
I think she's going to retire and skate on a cruise ship.
Honestly, most people really need a reality check regarding Yankowskas. She's pretty and she was an elegant skater but she doesn't have the stick thin, tiny pre-pubescent girl body that is optimal for pairs and she was never a very strong or consistent jumper.
^ ITA. That's why I don't understand praises for Yankowskas such as she is "arguably the most talented American female pairs skater of the last 10 years." Seriously?
Well, I am sure it must be a mistake...but it is interesting that Yakowskas' IPS profile lists dance under the "wants to compete" section rather than pairs.
Honestly, most people really need a reality check regarding Yankowskas. She's pretty and she was an elegant skater but she doesn't have the stick thin, tiny pre-pubescent girl body that is optimal for pairs and she was never a very strong or consistent jumper.[/QUOTE]
Wow that is a little rough...yikes.
On another forum discussing this some of the comments were:
"Josh Regan has already found another partner". I heard it was Andrea Popst
"This is the third time Caitlin has been replaced".
"I'm really curious as to what caused this split....Seriously, what happened?
From what I have heard, Reagan does not have the best work ethic and apparently he and Caitlin had many disagreements on the ice".
Maybe there is some truth to this. In pairs I can imagine if the couple had different focuses and work ethics it could cause a lot of problems. I have heard that Popst had issues with that as well and often times would not show at the rink during training and it caused issues. That was on a forum so I guess it is hearsay but if it is true....maybe they are better matched together P/R. Not everyone has to skate every second. Everyone trains differently so maybe it is better for him and Caitlin needs a partner who really really wants it and is a good compliment for her in more than just looks. I can't help saying that Rockne would be good. He can obviously skate with someone her size as Keauna was the exact same. He is extremely focused and is tough I hear with training. He has a strong work ethic. I know he is short but he's done it before. I know he is with Davis but you never know so maybe?? I also think Mark Ludwig would be a great way to get back into skating right now too but truly Mark and Lindsey should have stayed together. With fourth at Nationals that gave them a boost.
The Merry-GO- Round is just starting with pairs too so who knows??? Anything is possible I guess.
THIS THIS THIS! My guess, she will never touch the competitive ice again. And really folks, Andrew Speroff? lol
How are they the exact same? Caitlin is 5'3". Keauna was barely over 5'0". 5'3" girls don't tend to partner with 5'8" guys, especially when they aren't twigs. So many people have mentioned Rockne for Caitlin, it's unbelievable. I guess because she was partnered with the 6'2" John Coughlin so many people have a warped idea of her size?
Maybe she has realized her time in pairs has passed and is just trying to find a way to stay on the ice?
A height of 5'3" isn't a liability in dance at all, like it appears to be in pairs. However, the US has a pretty deep pairs field, so it will be tough to break into.
However, you may be right it is a mistake, because she says she wants to compete senior dance, and lists no tests at all. I guess if we start hearing about her taking dance tests, we'll know if it is true. I'm surprised she doesn't have at least the first few dance tests. Pretty much every skater I know has dabbled in dance enough to take the preliminary test by the time they get to novice or junior free.
Tiffany Stiegler and Fedor Andreev switched to dance in their twenties under the supervison of Zoueva...I hope it is a typo too, but it may not be after all.
Oleg Protopopov?
If you copy comments from another board to this one, you really should include the link: http://www.goldenskate.com/forum/showthread.php?40570-Yankowskas-on-IPS!
It must be a simple mistake since Yankowskas doesn't mention switching to dance in her profile comments.
With all the expensive gifts Josh had bought Caitlin (and vice versa) I think these two don't need skating as much as those in direr financial situation.
Yeah, because Caitlin and Josh are taking away precious endorsements and financial opportunities that might otherwise have gone to other pair skaters?
Pair skating in America being the lucrative business that it is now...
That may have been before the exception provision, where the ISU (Council) could force a release between 2-3 seasons. An inner USFS group decided to keep Matthews for a full four years, which was protested in a general meeting, but the protest got nowhere.
After that she medalled at 4C's in 2006, which was going to be the start timer the four seasons she'd be on hold. In typical hypocritical USFS fashion, USFS released the partner with whom she won JWC and the 4C's silver, and Zavozin was competing at Europeans a little less than two years after the break-up, not four seasons.
To Yankowska's credit her and John were only together for about 4 seasons and really didn't have a good season until 2010-11. 6th at Worlds, 4th at 4CC, 3rd and 4th on the Grand Prix and they won nationals. She's not yet 23 so there's no reason she can't hold out hope for another partner, she is a great skater. I hate to see skaters like her and Maria Mukhortova not be able to skate for lack of partners.
IIRC Natalia Mishkutenok was bigger than Caitlyn (sp?)Yankowskas, yet she was a very successful pairs skater. Of course it helped that Artur Dmitriev was her partner. He could even lift a man- off ice! I don't think Yankowskas is too big for a pairs skater. She just needs the right partner but she may be running out of time at this point. It may really be time for her to consider partners outside of the USA.
I think most pairs men can do this. At least, based on the facebook pictures I see- it appears to be the thing to do when they drink...
I don't think many of them can throw each other in triple twists though- that seems to be where size is the biggest issue.
Of course she isn't. Volosozhar is 5'3". She just needs a solidly built 6 fter (preferably taller), and we all know how plentiful they are.
This thread bothers me a bit. I mean the very first suggestion of a partner for Yankowskas is someone who is teamed up with another skater? The very first! I think that's amazingly rude and worse to that skater's actual partner. It makes me mad enough for her that I want to hunt some of you down and kick you in the pants. These aren't trading cards but real people.
Do American pairs men tend on the shorter side? Because 5'3" doesn't seem too tall, yet her height is often discussed as a liability.
Lack of partners was pretty low on the list of Mukhortova's isssues.
It's not just the height. Yankowskas has a woman's body with curves. And sadly that's really not good in this sport which favours twigs because of how the biomechanics work.
aaaah, mukhortova....
my wounded heart
I agree. I know some people like to suggest "dream pairings", but some of the scenarios that get mentioned on forums are so unrealistic or not really beneficial that all they really do is knock the partners the skaters currently have. One minute people are begging for teams (sometimes even teams they've never seen before) to stay together, and then the next minute they act like this is the NBA where you can swap players around a bunch of times to try to make instantaneously stronger teams. Creating pairs that truly work is really not simple.
Yankowskas is trim and very fit. She seems to have lost weight recently from the picture I saw of her on Facebook. I don't think of her as "curvy" at all. IMO, we shouldn't be discussing her weight at all. Women pair skaters have it really tough, we don't need to be giving them eating disorders.
I think it's more that there just aren't many male pair skaters in the US, period, and some of those we do have are short enough that they probably need partners closer to 5' than to 5'3. Most males who go into pairs seem to make the switch in their mid-teens or later. By that time, there aren't that many boys left in the sport. Since it's mostly the more successful skaters who stick around to the age of 15 - 18 (or older), and jumping tends to be easier for the not-so-tall skaters, a lot of the mid-teen and older male skaters are of average height or less. And of course not every tallish male skater wants to go into--or stay in--pairs.
I didn't say she wasn't fit and I didn't say she needed to lose weight. I said she has a woman's body and not a girl's body (curvy doesn't mean overweight, unfit or fat last time I checked the dictionary).
Caitlin needs to go all "toe pick!" and find a minor league hockey player who probably isn't going to make it to the NHL for whatever reason.
Thank you! People tend to misuse the word "curvy" since the media has decided to re-invent the word as a PC replacement for overweight, thick, large build, ect.
Caitlin does have curves, but she also looks small boned...it's a shame there aren't more U.S. pairs men available for her to skate with. I wonder if she could possibly find a singles skater to convert to pairs?
I'm not in the group that thinks Caitlin is the savior to U.S. Pairs skating, but I do think she is super talented, and it's a shame that she can't seem to find an ideal partner.

Regulators Rethink Complex Rules for Banks
Regulators Are Concluding the Way They Measure Banks' Exposure May Be Too Elaborate
WASHINGTON—In the wake of the financial crisis, global financial regulators implemented a labyrinth of new rules to constrain banks. Now, regulators are beginning to rethink their approach.
Regulators in the U.S. and Europe are starting to conclude the way they currently measure banks' exposure to risk may be too elaborate. They worry that rather than more effectively protecting against bank risks, their efforts have created...

Parenting advice at Santa Barbara Unified School District
SANTA BARBARA, Calif. - Parents of kids in the Santa Barbara Unified School District now have somewhere to turn for help with the challenges that come with raising children.
The Parent Resource Center is now open at the district offices on Santa Barbara Street.
The center has hundreds of books available on subjects such as autism, parenting, social issues and juvenile justice.
"I think it is very confusing for parents to go to the Internet and find information. It's just like overwhelming. So here we've condensed it. It's very targeted information and people to talk with them," said organizer Cheri Rae.
District administrators are in the process of staffing the center, so parents have someone they can talk to about issues with their kids.
The Parent Resource Center also has materials for children and teachers.

Excellent location! There is a footpath from the back of the hotel grounds that leads to the entrance of the falls. The hotel guard escorts you on the 5 minute walk. Tipping him a few dollars is cheaper than taking the 2 minute taxi ride that will cost you $5, minimum. Along the path is also the Look out cafe, a place that serves food and drinks, but is also the base of the zipline and gorge swing. The food at hotel was excellent, and the formal dining room was relatively cheap with the tasting menu at $45. The service all around was very good. The rooms need renovations, especially the bathrooms.
El complejo era genial y tenía una gran variedad de servicios gratuitos. Incluido era Wi-Fi, servicio de lavandería, desayuno y minibar. La vista desde la habitación era impresionante. El personal era muy profesional, amable y servicial. La comida era buena, pero no excelente. Pero soy muy exigente con la comida.
The grounds are gorgeous and in an excellent location. Just a 10 minute walk to the falls and the mist within sight from each balcony. The food was tasty and a bit extraordinary in pairing. Service was very attentive, but not overbearing. Room was luxurious. All said, I'd gladly stay here again. Dinner was a bit pricey for the serving sizes. Water was expensive at $3 for .75 liters.
Where do I start with what I liked: *I learned that their HR department will bring any donated items to people who need them. So if you desire, you can bring clothes, school supplies, or anything else (just not most food items). *The staff were fantastic! Polite, helpful, on top of everything! I was greeted with a smile and welcomed instantly and they even asked to make a copy of my activity itinerary so that they could confirm all of the dates/times with the company for me. They also seemed to plan the room cleaning and turn down service according to my activity schedule. *On the last day there I needed to contact my credit card company and the number wouldn't work on my cell. After trying their office phone and realizing it wouldn't work either, they offered to find me a staff member with a cell phone. I want to emphasize that it is extremely uncommon to have an unlimited cell phone plan, which means, they were going to offer to use their personal paid minutes to help me make the call. I declined of course because no one should pay for my phone call! But the fact that this was the lengths they were willing to go to instantly, without a thought, was heart warming! *There is a complimentary mini bar (including sodas, alcohol, etc.). Um...yes! *The room was spectacular. *The view was beautiful. *The bar/restaurant overlooks a watering hole. My first night there a herd of elephants and about 100 water buffalo came to drink. Oh yeah, and you can see the hole from the pool. *The pool is so cool (as in awesome, not freezing). *They do a free vulture feeding at 1:00pm every day (this involves hundreds of vultures. It was amazing!) *Breakfast was included with my stay and included a full cold spread (meats, cheeses, fruits, bloody mary, etc.) as well as a menu (albeit small) for hot items (including omelets and french toast). I wound up never even getting the hot items because the cold spread was so filling. *Where do I start? Let me just stay Augustine is AMAZING! He is the hospitality manager there and absolutely change the entire trajectory of my stay and helped coordinate a huge activity that I otherwise would not have been able to be a part of. He is fantastic! *It is farther away from the falls, which I thought might be a bad thing, but they offer hourly free shuttle to the falls, the open market, and 2 other stops, so I never felt distant from anything. Plus, I realized that I only got 2 mosquito bites over 6 days, while others I spoke to who stayed closer to the falls/river complained of a lot more bites. So maybe being away from the falls was actually a plus. Also, because they have so many things there (vulture feeding, beautiful restaurant view, The Boma, and the water hole) you can actually do more AT the hotel than you can at most other places. *The Boma is a fun place and is right there at the hotel. Short walking distance, yet they still have an additional shuttle that will take you straight there. What didn't I like? Um, leaving? Really, it was such a wonderful place!
