Spoiler for MG Sinanju:
Shield, rifle and bazooka left. I still have to buy gattling guns XD[/QUOTE] That looks beastly: nicely done! Do you feel that the MG Sinanju feels more like a Perfect Grade than a Master Grade in all but name and size?

From what I have seen so far the new MG Nu Ver.Ka seems to be a LOT closer to being a 1/100 scale Perfect Grade. Especially when you look at the legs and it's hands. The manipulators are essentially the same as a PG. |

Fair enough. That said, I've never built a model with quite so much detail in the legs before (with respect to the MG Nu Gundam Ver Ka.). Compared to the previous MG Nu, it feels like the new one is on a completely different level

Gunpla are not resin kits, they do not get nor should be given a pass on faulty colouring just because they can be painted. |

I agree that Bandai really messed up with Rozen's color this time. And this comes from someone who is okay with HG Delta Plus' color . Even the color of the prototype Rozen kit they exhibited was already excellent. After that, fans can only expect perfection for the actual product, only to be sorely disappointed by that brownish-colored body. I wonder what they were smoking when they decided to use that kinda color .

I don't get the point of making Rozen Zulu's color to brown? Are they saving or something? Will it cost them less if they do that? It's an obvious mistake so why did they let that happen? Can someone enlighten me?

^ Do you think that any of the predictions made on the GToys Blog will come true? MG Prometheus MG Snow White MG Warlock What are those? Also, surprised to see that GToys thinks we'll see the Gundam X series getting MG (X, X Divider and Double X). But I would definitely love to see their 00 and Wing predictions to come out.

Hey how stable is the RG Zeta? Im debating between it and the HGUC (cheaper, proportions are still pretty good to this day, and it got the BFG of course lol) On the topic of predictions, which are not that big a deal: I think the highest possibilities are: MG: Wing kits (as noted in Bandais plan to continue the Wing line) DESTINY kits (due to remaster, this includes stargazer kits maybe if they decide to capitalize on the bluray) UC (obviously being the last year, 2 already confirmed, maybe a Rozen later on?) Finish up AGE line 08th MS team 2.0s maybe? (or RG) HG: Finish up AGE line Unicorn kits and variations as the episodes come along, definitely FA at some point DESTINY "Remastered" HG kits, still going to be crap lol (except Destiny and Legend) Zeta era UC kits as we have been seeing for the past few months Thats about it, from a business perspective its obviously Bandais intent to capitalize on UC and Destiny while finishing up AGE, then probably picking up Wing to fill in after AGE is done |

My wallet will empty out remarkably quickly if they release an MG Reborns and MG Exia R3. Heck, I personally would be inclined to believe that Sunrise may just skip on the R2 and release the parts for it with the R3, but that is pure speculation

Besides the two, FX and 3 Normal that's already been confirmed, I'm really doubtful that we will be seeing other MGs from Age.
Just a random guess, MG Gebrera Tetra and MG Geymalk. This is more of wishlist actually being the latter almost impossible as it ain't available even in HG form. If Bandai decides to make an HG 1/144 Blast Impulse, then chances of getting its MG will be high!

Turtle eggs sold in Costa Rica to prevent black market
3 September 2013 Last updated at 04:36 BST
A conservation project in Costa Rica is allowing locals to take turtle eggs from a beach during the nesting season and make money by selling them to the community.
It has been called a form of "legalised poaching" and the project is designed to conserve turtles while also helping the local economy.
Anne-Marie Tomchak reports.

Categories Comments Campus Safety Yes you are alerted when something gas happens on campus but any and everyone walks through the campus which is dangerous .. Sometimes your keys cards don't work !!
Greek Life You have a lot to choose from
Clubs and Activities Had a lot of stuff to do
Great for these types of students Who have a lot of money Like rock bands Who like shucking
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus The campus is beautiful
Bang for the buck the price is over kill and the education you receive is BAD !!! better of going to a two year !!
What to do for fun Nothing !!!
Food and Dining I only ate subs .. You have a limited number of meals per semester and if you use them all you have to pay with your own money and if you don't use them all they do not roll over to the next semester .. The cheese burgers were disgusting !!
Dorm Life I had a room by myself for my first and only semester. Be ready to sleep on super tiny beds where if you roll over you will fall off. You must share a bathroom/ washer/ dryer with all the girls on your floor !! And the girls didn't keep things clean.. They would leave there clothes in the washer and dryer hours half they were finished.. So you would have to take them out yourself and out the on top of the dryer so you could use it
Academic Rigor I attended for one semester and the teachers where horrible !!! They did the bare minimum !!!
Tips for prospective students Don't go unless: You like rock bands Like having nothing to do Like driving 10 miles to the nearest food places
In three sentences I HATED IT !!!!!! The class is mostly white .. You will have only 1 or 2 black or other students in a class.. Everyone else including the teacher is white so you are looked at weird.

Categories Comments What to do for fun Sadly, there is not much to do in the town of Clinton on a Friday night, so often PC students make their own fun--whether that be watching a movie in the dorms or playing a late-night game of sardines. Some student organizations hold events for PC students to attend either throughout the week or on the weekend, and often these events are fun and enjoyable and generate good turn-outs.
Food and Dining The dining service staff is overall friendly, though you definitely do not want to get on any of their bad sides. The dining hall serves mostly well-balanced meals, however, often the side items are mashed potatoes or some form of cooked cabbage with the meat. There is also a grill and full-time pasta bar, as well as vegetarian and some vegan options available. The dining hall is the only on-campus food option during the weekends, where the second dining service facility, Springs, is only open late Sunday nights throughout the school week. Springs also has a grill, a sub/sandwich line, and smoothies and coffee and ice cream to serve during meal hours. You can either use your meals to pay for your food (under a certain price limit) or you can use your bonus points, which rolls over across semesters but not school years.
Dorm Life PC has and will be undergoing more renovations in the upcoming years. The boys' freshman dorm needs renovation, and will be soon. Freshman girls' dorms have been newly redone, and so are clean, with new paint and desks and beds that can be bunked. Upperclassmen dorms will be worked on in the future, as well a new senior housing facility to be completed by the 2016-2017 school year. Senior housing is new and apartment-style. Some of the dorms are far from the academic buildings, but with a bike, getting to class on time shouldn't be too difficult.
Academic Rigor Depending on the type of class you take (and who teaches it) will affect how difficult the class is for you. Some courses are more lecture-based, such as some history and science courses, while others are more discussion-based, such as most English courses. Still, oftentimes professors desire input from their students, and great conversations can be had in a typically lecture-based class. For science or math students, the Pharmacy program is great at PC, and many of the professors teach well, though some are said to be easier than others. Labs, also, vary in difficulty, depending on who teaches it. For humanities students, be prepared for papers and deep discussions. It is tough, but definitely worthwhile, if you want to leave college knowing not just more about the world but also your place in it.
Tips for prospective students Administrators at PC value the individual. Your advisors will care about you and remember your name (which is good, because this networking will help you in possibly attaining a future job). If you value your education, and want a challenging yet worthwhile experience out of college, Presbyterian College is a great place for just that. Try not to slack off, though, as sleep is sometimes a nonexistent thing here. However, good time management can help you keep a regular sleep schedule.
In three sentences When people say they loved PC because they felt like they were part of a community that cared, they speak the truth. Here at school, almost everyone treats each other with respect, whether to teachers, to friends, to the dining hall staff, or to that one girl/guy you always pass in the hallway. In short, people care--about each other, about their academics, and about their experience here at PC.

Categories Comments Campus Safety If something happens on or near campus, there is a strange person near or on campus, or there is a possibility of severe weather, there will be alert texts and emails sent out to each student. Also, the Campus Police is very quick when responding to anything, from a skunk to a textbook emergency.
Greek Life Most people are involved in Greek Life at PC, but if you are not, people do not judge you. Everyone realizes that fraternities and sororities aren't for everyone. PC accepts everyone- it is a liberal arts college.
Great for these types of students PC is great for anyone who wants to do business or accounting, especially anything international. PC has a great international program- both sending people abroad, and bringing people in. PC also has a good biology and a good education program.
Bang for the buck The best thing about PC is, even though PC is a very expensive private school, they hand out scholarships like they aren't anything at all. I pay less to come to school here than I would to go to a public school. Honestly, the grades I get now would be much better than those I would make at a public school because of the relationships I have on campus and the lack of places taking my time away from my studies.
What to do for fun At PC, unfortunately, you have to make your own fun, unless you like to go out and dance around a bunch of sweaty drunk people (or you are one of those sweaty drunk people). My friends and I have movie nights, Greenville/ Spartanville road trip nights, or we just chill out and talk.
Food and Dining PC has its good and bad days. On its good days, you can go to the big cafeteria, GDH, and have an all you can eat buffet of heavenly goodness. On PC's bad days, you can go to the smaller, more crowded dining area, Spring's Campus Center, and eat a sub sandwich or something from The Grill area.
Dorm Life My freshman and sophomore years, I hated the dorms in which I lived. Starting this past summer, the dorms have become remodeled (of course, they do this after the buildings started getting everyone sick because of the build up of mold). PC is very helpful if you are experiencing issues with people on your hall or a roommate/ suitemate.
Academic Rigor Presbyterian College gets a reputation for being a very rigorous school. I agree with that only because of the expectations that the professors hold you to. The school is so small that the professors get to know you so well that they know what you are capable of.
Tips for prospective students If you want to be able to party every day and go to the clubs, then PC is not the place for you. Yes, PC is known as a party school, but that is because most of the population stays on campus on the weekends- you can't go to Bi-Lo and party. Presbyterian College is a school where you have to get involved to feel the entire sense of community that everyone talks about, but getting involved at PC is not a hard thing to do, at all.
In three sentences Presbyterian College is a school full of great opportunities and amazing academics. Here, you have to work your butt off to get the grades you deserve, but the feelings you get when you receive an A in your hardest class are priceless. I couldn't imagine myself anywhere else.

Categories Comments Campus Safety Campus Police is always a phone call away, they arrive within minutes if there is ever any trouble or incidents on campus.
Greek Life Three sororities and five fraternities.
Clubs and Activities We offer a WIDE and I mean WIDE range of clubs, anything from Spectrum (the LGBTQ club) to duck hunting....yes you read that right. Duck hunting.
Great for these types of students Harding working, honest, and students that prefer a small tight-knit community.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus We wear our PC Blue on Fridays, a.k.a. PC BLUE PRIDE or otherwise known as hastagPCBluePride (#PCBluePride)
Bang for the buck The price here is high, but worth it if you want personal one-on-one attention from your professors. It is not worth it in the dorm life.
What to do for fun We have sports games pretty much every weekend, art shows, theater, and music concerts on campus. Off campus we have bowling, movie theaters, restaurants, putt-putt, etc.
Food and Dining Terrible as well, but plenty of off campus options and the grab and go dining hall (Springs) does offer a variety of options.
Dorm Life Terrible. The buildings need to be remodeled, but slightly spacious.
Academic Rigor We have the highest number of Professor of the Year winners at our university over any other university in the state, which means something. They are all truly passionate about what they teach and expect you to try, we have probably one of the strictest honor codes I've ever seen so either learn and work fair or go somewhere else.
Tips for prospective students Be aware that Clinton is truly a small town, to the point that the closest wal-mart is in the next city over. If you can get over the small town, then you will realize the beauty PC has to offer.
In three sentences It is a wonderful college for students wanting something small and personal. PC thrives on each student feeling like they are apart of a community and I certainly do here.

Categories Comments Campus Safety The cops have 0 clue of what their jobs are. Things are continuously stolen from dorm rooms.
Greek Life Great because that is all that matters on this campus
Great for these types of students Those interested in Fraternities and Sororities. Those who are not different and like to follow the crowd.
What to do for fun Nothing. Ghost Town. Required to drive 30-45 minutes to do anything fun.
Food and Dining Horrible food!
Dorm Life Mold in the dorms. No off campus living.
Academic Rigor Very rigorous but teachers help you when you ask. Great professors might be the only plus for this college.
Tips for prospective students Do not attend this school unless you enjoy doing the same thing everyday and seeing the same exact people.
In three sentences Presbyterian College is one of the most boring schools in the state. Do not play athletics here because they will treat you like crap. A school run by fraternities and sororities many of which are racist.

What to do for fun For fun on the weekends you can go to the fraternity houses. During the week we usually go to Tony's Pizza and Subs and El Jal.

Categories Comments Campus Safety PC is extraordinarily safe. I never feel scared walking around at night. One thing that holds us accountable is the honor code.
Greek Life 6 different fraternities and 3 sororities as well as other Greek honors societies. Lots of options, and lots of fun.
Clubs and Activities Great options! Actually a common problem at PC is to become over-involved.
Great for these types of students There's something for everyone really.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus The attics and basements in certain buildings can come as a shock.
Bang for the buck I find PC worth every penny. I just got back from studying abroad in Spain and I compared PC with the other students' universities. I concluded that I have it great at PC.
What to do for fun If you aren't big on frat parties, you can hang out in your friends' dorm rooms or go to one of the nearby cities. Since PC is so small, you get creative with your fun options. From playing manhunt (a more extreme version of hide and seek) to outdoor swing dancing, PC students always find things to do.
Food and Dining The food is good, but lacks variation for vegan, vegetarians, and gluten free options.
Dorm Life 99% of students live on campus. The dorms need renovation, but it is super easy to hang out with your friends.
Academic Rigor While the professors are always there for you and will help you succeed, they expect a lot from you and hold you to it. That's why PC degrees are so respected.
Tips for prospective students Focus on service in your application. While PC is rigorous, our motto is While we live, we serve. Service will stand out as a potential applicant.
In three sentences Presbyterian College (PC) is a home, a family, and a future. Don't let the small town deceive you, PC is your typical college experience but with so much more. I absolutely love PC.

Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus We are the 'Blue Hose' - fighting Scotsmen wearing blue socks.
Bang for the buck Expensive but great school. Well respected school.
What to do for fun I joined a fraternity - can't have more fun than that.
Food and Dining Food sucks. GDH (the Grand Dining Hall) is only good on special occasions. Bojangles is close by
Dorm Life My dorm is decent sized. Have 2 suite mates and a bathroom between the 2 dorm rooms.
Academic Rigor Challenging but not impossible.
Tips for prospective students Apply early to get scholarships and financial aid.

Categories Comments Greek Life Greek Life is available if a student is interested. Participation is about 50/50 so you don't feel pressured to join if it is not right for you.
Clubs and Activities There are all types of activities going on. If you don't see a club that you would be interested in joining they encourage you to start one.
Bang for the buck When you attend Presbyterian you are a person not just a number, and professors treat you with kindness and respect. As a student, I never feel like my professors would rather be anywhere else but in the classroom.
Food and Dining Always available and a good variety.
Dorm Life Campus dorm rooms for the most part are old but that is what lends character to the campus. I love staying in a dorm that I know had other students in it 100 years ago.
Academic Rigor Hard classes but there is always someone willing to help. Professors are readily available for assistance when needed.
Tips for prospective students A visit to the campus is a must. The southern hospitality is apparent in all aspects of the campus.
In three sentences Presbyterian college is an excellent choice for furthering your education. It has a very personal feel with a home type atmosphere. You receive one-on-one instruction in many classes, so not doing well is completely up to the student.

Categories Comments Campus Safety Presbyterian College is a very safe campus. Our campus police are constantly patrolling and are only a phone call away. Campus police are friendly and helpful.
Greek Life Greek life makes up about 60% of the college at Presbyterian College. There are three sororities and six fraternities. The fraternities are much more accepting than the sororities.
Clubs and Activities Presbyterian College has many clubs, from language clubs, to sports clubs, to religious affiliation clubs. All of these clubs are accepting of every level of involvement. The clubs provide a way to meet people at the school.
Great for these types of students Presbyterian College is great for many types of students. It is good for the athletic student as we just became fully Division I. It is good for the artist, the scientist, the mathematician, and the oddball.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus An unusual tradition on campus is Hoseville. The mascot of Presbyterian College is the Blue Hose, the blue socks on a Scotsman. At football games, Hoseville opens up for all students to enjoy the game in a better seat.
Bang for the buck Presbyterian College provides a unique college experience that I would not give up. The school is pricey but worth the money. Presbyterian College has a rich history and is a great experience.
What to do for fun Presbyterian College offers many activities for fun for it's students. Most weekends there is an event hosted as well as several evening actvities, intermural sports, classes, groups, and social activities. There is hardly a dull moment in Clinton.
Food and Dining One thing Presbyterian College does not do well is food. While our finer dining hall always has tasty selections, it is the same food each day. The main dining hall varies more frequently however the quality of the food is more questionable.
Dorm Life Presbyterian College is a historic college and the dorms are aged. The dorms are sized larger than most college dorm rooms are and any problems you might incur will be happily fixed by Maintenance. The dorms at Presbyterian College really feel like home.
Academic Rigor The classes at Presbyterian College are challenging however you learn a lot. Professors are able to find multiple ways to explain themselves and want you to succeed. Most classes are difficult however not impossible.
Tips for prospective students Presbyterian College cares deeply about service and community. I advise all prospective students to be sure they are helping their community out.
In three sentences Presbyterian College is a small private school where the faculty and staff know you by name and truly care about your performance. The campus is beautiful and constantly maintained. The faculty and staff at Presbyterian College want you to succeed.

Categories Comments Campus Safety Campus Police are prompt, alert, and always willing to help anyone in distress. Each person who attends PC must sign the Honor Code, pledging that they will not lie, steal, plagiarize, cheat, or watch as another students do. The Honor Code and Campus Police allow students to feel safe on campus.
Greek Life Six fraternities: Pi Kappa Phi, Pi Kappa Alpha, Kappa Alpha, Alpha Sigma Phi, Theta Chi, and Sigma Nu Three Sororities: Alpha Delta Pi, Sigma Sigma Sigma, and Zeta Tau Alpha.
Bang for the buck PC definitely has a lot of amenities that go along with their tuition. Free laundry, stellar staff, a wide variety of food, countless resources, a newly updated Mac computer lab, free printing, and a 98% acceptance rate to Graduate School after graduation from PC.
What to do for fun PC campus has many things to do for fun. There are clubs related to different majors, sororities, fraternities, intramural sports, zumba lessons, home sports games, and more. Students get into any home games for free.
Food and Dining The food at PC is very good. The campus grows most of its ingredients and provides junk food, healthy food, vegetarian food, and dessert foods. The only downside to the dining options (GDH or Springs) is they have specific hours for meals, but Springs allows you $50 in bonus bucks to buy food outside of meal times.
Dorm Life Some dorms are better than others. They are all spacious compared to many large universities and there are suite style and hall bathroom options. Each of the dorm buildings have laundry rooms with washers and dryers that are free.
Academic Rigor Professors expect students to give their 110% effort on every assignment. In return, professors are very willing to help any student who comes to their office for help.
Tips for prospective students Get lots of scholarships!
In three sentences Presbyterian is considered a small school, but with the rather small numbers brings a strong sense of safety and community. Professors challenge their students in the classroom and are also very willing to give aid to any student who is struggling in their classes. The honor system placed over PC allows students to leave their belongings unlocked in the library without fear of them being stolen and allows students to trust in their surroundings.

Categories Comments What to do for fun Youth activities, visiting other campuses seem pretty popular, the fraternity row also seems like a popular hang out spot, sporting events, festivals, etc.
Food and Dining I do not know yet, but I can image its pretty awesome considering there is are seventeen different meal plans to choose from!
Dorm Life I also do not know how the dorm life is just yet. I can assume it will be as noisy as any other dorm, but I can assure that they are safe and very well kept and a nice living space.
Academic Rigor I wish I could give that information but I have not started yet. I do know that PC can make accommodation for the way you learn and how ahead or behind the curve you may be.
Tips for prospective students If you are not sure about going to PC, I recommend it because Presbyterian is a tight knit community wear who you are as a person matters rather than just a number.
In three sentences Presbyterian so far is a great school if like smaller schools and more one-on-one attention. The Advisers truly help you with anything you need and are always there to offer advice. I am really excited about attending because professors have already contacted me about there classes and sharing there excitement about seeing me.

Categories Comments Campus Safety PC has a very safe campus. The dorms all have key sensors to enter which are only issued to PC students, and the academic buildings are locked as well after class hours. Campus safety has a building on campus that can be called 24/7, and they can provide anything necessary for safety. Also, texts and email alerts are used for severe weather or other necessities.
Greek Life Greek life is very big at PC. With six fraternities and three sororities, it is not the largest selection of greek life, but it provides a very stable one. All Greek life gets along very well and has been recently working on its Greek unity. The fraternities and sororities also do events throughout the year to support their philanthropies.
Clubs and Activities PC provides a variety of clubs and activities varying from sports to academic clubs to religious clubs to everyday hobbies. PC also offers the opportunity to create your own club if you can find a faculty member to sponsor you as well as enough people to want to be a part of the club.
Great for these types of students Great for students who like to have a close relationship with their teachers and need more time with professors as far as getting attention for certain topics.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus PC students love to spend time on the green in front of the dining hall when the weather is nice. It is common for students to do everything from study to lay out to play ultimate frisbee.
Bang for the buck Despite the few things I mentioned before, PC's overall educational value is more rewarding than anything else. They have a high acceptance rate into graduate and medical schools, and they provide a great gateway to the next step of your life.
What to do for fun Many of the local restaurants do things during the week for students, such as karaoke nights and trivia nights. Also, the fraternity houses are a popular spot on the weekends. Club and intramural sports are popular on campus as well. Greenville and Columbia, both within an hour of PC, provide the bigger city feel that some students look for.
Food and Dining We have two dining options on campus, and they provide a variety of choices. However, the hours are not as free as some colleges, and they close earlier than many would hope.
Dorm Life Although the older students' dorms are nicer, the freshmen dorms could use some updating. Also, if you are unprepared to live in a dorm for most of your college career, PC is not the place for you. We live on campus all four years, with the exeption of seniors who live in Scottish Arms. Dorms are required for the first three years.
Tips for prospective students Be prepared to work hard when attending PC. It is not as difficult to be accepted to PC, but it is hard to stay at PC. Realize that the academic rigor of the school is fairly difficult in order to make sure you are prepared for what is to come beyond college.
In three sentences Presbyterian College gives the home and family feel that I was looking for in a school. It also provides small class sizes, personal relationships with teachers, and a friendly and safe environment for its students. PC is known for creating an environment that its students love to be a part of.

Categories Comments Greek Life PC has 3 sororities and 6 fraternities on campus that contribute to bettering the community: Sigma Sigma Sigma, Zeta Tau Alpha, and Alpha Delta Pi, Sigma Nu, Pi Kappa Alpha. As a whole, greek life is the largest student-led organization on campus.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus It's tradition that before seniors graduate they should climb to the roof of Neville Hall, which is the center of campus, and enjoy a beverage of choice while reminiscing on their wonderful 4 years at Presbyterian College.
What to do for fun There's probably the same things to do for fun at PC as there are at every other school: athletic events, student-led events, and just hanging out with friends. But at PC we know how to have a good time. Homework turns into a study party in the library, sunbathing is a water balloon fight on the front lawn next to the dodge ball tournaments
Food and Dining Greenville Dining Hall serves a wide variety of foods as well as the everyday staples. And they're very accommodating for those with allergies and such. Springs is a popular location for lunch most days of the week because it's conveniently located near the center of campus and there's access to on-the-go food.
Dorm Life Living in the dorms is one of the best experiences of college, and PC has nice on-campus housing. Every building has it's own free washers and dryers for laundry and the RA's are all usually fun friendly people.
Academic Rigor PC classes are hard! The transition from high school to college tends to be difficult for enough people and if they don't take the course work seriously, then it can end up being too much to bear.
Tips for prospective students Fill out the FAFSA as soon as you can! The financial aid office is really great about getting back to you and helping in any way necessary. Also, take tours. That was one of my favorite parts of the decision process.
In three sentences The best decision I've ever made; as long as you take advantage of everything PC has to offer, I promise you won't regret it. There's something about the environment that just encourages people to strive towards excellence. I wouldn't be who I am today without PC.

Categories Comments Campus Safety You can leave your door unlocked and feel completely safe on our campus, and also campus police rides around all day to make sure that this safe feeling is maintained.
Greek Life We do have greek life on our campus. However, we currently do not have any historically black sororities or fraternities on campus.
Clubs and Activities There are a ton of clubs and activities on campus, and they keep coming too.
Great for these types of students It is great if you like a small community type feel or if you are used to this.
Bang for the buck We have a nice gym on campus.
What to do for fun On campus we have plenty of gatherings that many of the groups on campus set up, so there is almost always something to do on campus. We also have certain groups on campus who gather people to play a big game of ultimate frisbee or volleyball.
Food and Dining The dining places on campus are great. We have two Springs and GDH(Greenville Dining Hall). Springs is more fast and on-the-go food and GDH is where you go to see down for a while to chat and eat. The taste of these foods are good and also safe to eat.
Dorm Life The dorms are decent but not the best dorms you might come across, however they are livable and once you are in them you add your only little touches to them, it's just like home!
Academic Rigor The work at PC challenges your mind, and forces you to critically think.
Tips for prospective students ASK for help when needed because there are professors and other students willing to help you out, when in need. DO get involved because there is so much to get into, and you will definitely find your niche at PC.
In three sentences This school is really homey and small, which gives it a great community feel to it. You can come to your professors at any time for them to help you. Also, there is a bunch to get into at the college, so there is no reason not to get involved and be a part of the community at PC.

Categories Comments What to do for fun For fun you should get involved in organizations. PC is a busy community that has a lot of things to offer.
Food and Dining There is a dinning hall and a sub/grill/smoothie place too. The food is good but can get old quick. There are places to eat around campus too.
Dorm Life Dorm life could be a little better, but its easy to get cozy and have a room away from home.
Academic Rigor PC has a challenging academic system, but its not impossible. The professors are all great and willing to help.
Tips for prospective students For prospective students, you should get involved and make yourself well known to the PC community. PC is great and friendly. You will love it here.
In three sentences PC is a great small, private liberal arts college. It has a beautiful campus with many sports and organizations to become involved in. The academics are challenging to students to help give them a strong education.

Categories Comments Great for these types of students if you are looking for challenging academics and a great friendly, family feel on campus come to PC - you will love it here!
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus listening to scottish bagpipes as we have a strong scottish heritage here
Bang for the buck they give great scholarships to those who have a history of community service and high grades in school AND to those who have a STRONG interest in music!
What to do for fun there are tons of clubs and organizations to be a part of on campus...but since we are in a small southern town there's not much to do off campus unless you drive to Greenville or Columbia (which aren't far).
Food and Dining good food here!
Dorm Life great fun...lots of friendly people. I've made the best friends here I have ever had!
Academic Rigor highly challenging coursework...but that's one reason why I came here. It's true that our professors are AMAZING!!!!
Tips for prospective students You should visit PC, take a tour and talk to students while here. That is what really helped me to choose PC over other choices I had.
In three sentences If you want a college that feels like a family, where professors know your name and really care about you, a college that has a GREAT study abroad program, PC is for you. I love it here and I'm from the big city of Atlanta. Yes, Clinton is a small town, but there is so much to do on campus you really don't notice. Plus, you can get to the big city easily if you want. This is truly what a college should be!!!

Tips for prospective students Be prepared to study a lot
In three sentences The class sizes are a plus for those who don't want to get lost in the crowd. The staff/professors are always willing to help when you need some one on one time and explain things in a way that you can understand. The campus is also small and offers a community feeling much different from a large university.

Bang for the buck There are many opportunities for financial aid, and many awards given to hard working and involved students.
Am enjoying being here The atmosphere is great, the students are kind and welcoming, and the staff is very helpful.

Categories Comments Great for these types of students PC is definitely the place for you if you care about honesty, community, and academics. Cheating is absolutely not tolerated. There is a strict Honor Code which you must sign at orientation; it's not hard to follow if you are honest.
Tips for prospective students Do extracurricular activities and take any opportunities for leadership so that you can get scholarships, and turn in you FAFSA on time!
Bang for the buck There are many scholarships available.
Academic Rigor PC is the right choice for you if you care about actually learning as opposed to just passing with a degree. The workload can be heavy, but the professors are interesting, fun, and caring. If you ever have a problem with an assignment, you can go to your professors for help, and they will take the time to make sure you do well.

Designer Kyle Bean's portfolio is really fun to look through. I saw these cellphone nesting dolls on Boingboing's excellent Gadget site, and realized I had to share them. (The Dynatac and the Razr are my favorites). But then I stumbled into Kyle's stop-motion video in honor of (international?) Laundry Day and couldn't help posting that below as well. If only my clothes would take such initiative!

In the coming weeks, there are several steps to complete in order to ensure you have comprehensive information at your fingertips to make your final college choice. From your personal enrollment counselor to the counselors in the Office of Student Financial Planning, we are here to assist you with the next steps.
We encourage you to keep this information nearby and use it as a guide to complete all the tasks necessary for your enrollment.
Preparing for Your First Semester at Juniata
- Register for New Student Orientation
When your $400 deposit is received and processed, you can register online for the New Student Orientation at www.juniata. edu/orientation. This is an overnight experience that includes students meeting with an adviser and registering for their first semester of classes. Registration opens in March 2017 and closes for each orientation when filled to capacity. - Submit your final high school transcript upon graduation
Juniata must have an official final high school transcript with a graduation date listed on file. Federal and state financial aid funds require us to have this transcript before the student attends full time in the fall. - Transfer credits, AP, and IB curriculum
If you have taken any college courses, please send an official transcript from that institution to the enrollment office. AP credits are accepted with a score of 4 or 5 on the exam. Full IB diplomas are accepted, as are courses with a test score of 5, 6, or 7. Class substitution is determined with the consultation of professors and advisers. Students must have the testing organization send the test scores to the Registrar at Juniata. - Consider your housing options
One of the most exciting things in the summer prior to starting college is requesting your residence hall. At Juniata, first-year students have many options.
Sherwood is exclusive to first-year students and co-ed by floor. The first two floors are
male and the second two floors are female.
The majority of Sunderland is first-year students and is co-ed by wing. In addition to the standard common area,
Sunderland hosts a kitchen that is available to residents for the late night snack.
All furniture in Sunderland is movable.
Tussey and Terrace, commonly known as T&T, is open to all students. Co-ed by wing, it also houses the Global Village, which is one of our learning and living communities where students can choose to have an international roommate. The T&T lounge, a popular location for fun campus activities, also has a piano for the musically inclined and a ping pong table for de-stressing.
Lesher, the only all-female dorm, can be found on the quad. The basement is also home to the Early Childhood Education Center.
Unlike all the other residence halls, East offers suite-style housing options. Typically, four traditional rooms are connected through a private common area and shared bathroom.
- Dive into your transition with Inbound
Inbound is a fun and relaxing way to begin your first year. Students choose an activity that sounds exciting to them, such as intramural sports, advanced mountain biking, dance, or community service, and participate in that activity for three days with two returning students as their Inbound Leaders. In this relaxed setting, students become familiar with campus, Huntingdon, and available resources. Many students find lifelong friends with common social interests during Inbound, as well as returning student mentors.
- Complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA)
If you are applying for need-based financial aid, you must submit the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). The suggested filing deadline is November 15, 2016. You can obtain all the information at www.fafsa.ed.gov. O If you have questions about completing the FAFSA, a particular question on the FAFSA, or just general questions, please call the Office of Student Financial Planning. Juniata's code number for the FAFSA is 003279. - Schedule a campus visit
If you visited Juniata during your junior year or early last fall, you may want to schedule a second visit to take a closer look and meet our students and faculty. You can choose to visit at one of our Open House events or one of our Department Days. Or, you can schedule an individual visit and tailor your day to meet your specific interests. Details are at www.juniata.edu/admission/campus-visit/index. Keep in mind that the Accepted Student Open Houses are scheduled for March 31st, 2017 and April 8th, 2017. - Review, sign, and return your financial planning award
If you have questions concerning your financial aid award, call your personal enrollment counselor or the Office of Student Financial Planning after receiving your financial planning award. Once you understand all the components of your award, sign and return it to the Office of Student Financial Planning. Your signature indicates that you have reviewed it and are accepting the award. - Notify Juniata of your college selection
Congratulations! You have made your final decision. Please return the enclosed form with your final decision. If Juniata College is your final choice, please include the $400 deposit. You may also pay your deposit online at apply.juniata.edu/apply/status. Don't forget to contact all the colleges which you've been admitted and let them know of your choice prior to the date. You may want to consider depositing early since housing assignments are made based on when deposits are received.

We all know the term 'less is more', but in a busy and complex world it is often forgotten. For a brand to say more and have optimal impact it needs to say less, less grey, less of the same, and more difference, more relevance. Simple doesn't mean easy though, and that's where the craft comes in. The craft of simplification.

Music fans arrive at the Isle of Wight Festival. Picture by Robin Crossley.
TRAFFIC arrangements for the Isle of Wight Festival come into place today (Wednesday).
The one-way system will be in place along Fairlee Road from lunchtime and there will be residents access only to roads in the Cross Lane, Mayfield Drive and Halberry Lane area.
Non-festival traffic has been advised to avoid designated festival traffic routes today, tomorrow, Friday, Sunday and Monday, traffic is expected to be busiest.
The Isle of Wight Council has said some delays are inevitable, but it hoped improvements made to the car parks last year would help to minimise disruption.
The Met Office has forecast a sunny and dry weekend, with temperatures reaching 22C on Friday.
We will update this page throughout the event with the latest traffic information and news.
Click here to view Red Funnel's revised timetable.
Click here to view Wightlink's revised timetable.
Latest updates will appear at the top.
Fairlee Road traffic restrictions have been lifted.
Red Funnel has advised that Red Falcon is running 15 to 30 minutes behind timetable, due to high foot passenger numbers delaying disembarkation.
The company said on Twitter: "We will endeavour to return to timetable, however the following services will be delayed — East Cowes to Southampton 1630, 1930, and Southampton to East Cowes 1800."
Southern Vectis has reported delays on its Yarmouth, East Cowes and Ryde services, due to heavy traffic from festival-goers leaving the Island.
Isle of Wight Council has warned that roads leading to the ferry terminals will be busy today, and urged drivers to avoid them if possible.
It said Beatrice Avenue (from Whippingham to the junction with Victoria Grove) was now one-way to northbound traffic for most of today.
Wightlink advised passengers travelling from Ryde to allow extra time as it was expecting the pier to be busy.
Island Roads has said traffic is running smoothly.
Red Funnel has said the last two Red Jet passenger services from West Cowes tonight will be 23:15 and 00:35 the next Red Jet after this time will be at 06:15.
The last two car ferries from East Cowes tonight will be 00:30 and 01:15 and the next boat after this will be at 04:30.
Island Roads has reported that roads in and around Newport are running freely.
Thanks toKeith Allso, for these fantastic pictures showing the Isle of Wight Festival site yesterday evening.
Here's some advice on how to look after your ears this weekend, from someone in the know — Goodbye Stereo frontman Sam Woodford, who in addition to headlining the Kashmir Cafe tomorrow (Friday) is an audiologist for Specsavers.
Noise levels at music festivals are estimated to be 115 decibels on average, 35 decibels above accepted danger levels, and is the equivalent of standing next to a jackhammer drilling into concrete.
• Don't stand too near to the stage/speakers, but if you are reasonably close, then make sure you take breaks.
• To best protect your hearing from the excessive decibel levels of the music, wear hearing protection. This will only heighten your enjoyment of the music!
•If you have a constant ringing or buzzing in your ears, then you have overdone it. Stand away from the speakers or the stage for a substantial amount of time to give your ears a rest.
Isle of Wight Council has advised anyone catching a taxi to the festival site to check it has a taxi licence plate, like the one below:
Red Funnel has said it expecting to bring 20,000 people to the Island for the festival.
Wightlink passengers on their way to the event will be able to catch a performance by Island stars Naked Fridays, who will be performing on the 1pm sailing from Portsmouth.
Red Funnel has issued the following advice to passengers:
Foot passengers
• Today (Thursday) and tomorrow it is anticipated that there will be queues on the vehicle ferry service from Southampton to East Cowes and the Red Jet service from Southampton to West Cowes. As in previous years foot passenger travel will be on a first-come first-served basis.
• Holders of Books of Tickets, 12 month, 6 month, 30 day and 7 day Season Tickets, pre-paid Travel Card customers, elderly and disabled customers and passengers with NHS/Hospital appointments for these dates will be prioritised but delays should still be expected.
Vehicle Ferry Services
• Vehicle traffic from Southampton will be extremely busy. To help prevent traffic congestion, vehicle customers must pre-book and arrive no more than one hour and no less than 30 minutes before their booked sailing time.
• Queues are expected from 9am until the end of the day for foot passengers departing from East Cowes and West Cowes. Again, travel will be on a first-come first-served basis. Holders of Books of Tickets, 12 month, 6 month, 30 day and 7 day season tickets, Travel Card customers, elderly and disabled customers and passengers with NHS/Hospital appointments for these dates will be prioritised but delays should still be expected.
Vehicle Ferry Service
• To help prevent traffic congestion, vehicles must be pre-booked and are requested not to turn up more than 90 minutes before their booked sailing time. All ferry traffic will be diverted and will enter a traffic management system which will be in place to manage the flow of vehicles entering East Cowes.
• Additional Vehicle Ferry and Red Jet sailings will be operating between 12- 16 June. See www.redfunnel.co.uk for further details.
Latest service updates will be available via Red Funnel's twitter feed @RF_Travel_News its website.
Hampshire Constabulary's Isle of Wight Festival police commander Chief Superintendent Dave Hardcastle said: "The Isle of Wight Festival has established a reputation for having low crime and a friendly atmosphere for more than a decade.
"We want festival-goers to enjoy themselves safely again this year, and we want any criminals to be warned off by our regular rigorous approach to protecting the island."
"It's always essential for police to patrol in partnership with security staff to ensure a safe festival.
"More than 100 officers, PCSOs and police staff will be deployed on duties in and around the festival site during the event."
Find out more about the police operation here.
Message from Isle of Wight Roads Police Sgt Dave Sanderson added: "Some delays will be inevitable so I would remind all road users to allow more time for their journeys during the week of the festival.
"Motorists putting lives at risk on the roads will be dealt with robustly by my officers who will be on regular patrols."
He said the presence and support of Community Safety Accredited AA Traffic Control Officers; engaged by the event promoters is very welcome for a second year.
These Traffic Control Officers have conferred police powers to direct and control traffic on roads so it is important that drivers comply with directions given. They are working in partnership alongside the festival to keep traffic flowing on our roads.
Wightlink has advised all passengers, including foot passengers, to book their sailings over the Isle of Wight Festival period.
A revised timetable is in effect for the coming days:

Nearly twice as many emperor penguins inhabit Antarctica as was thought. UK, US and Australian scientists used satellite technology to trace and count the iconic birds, finding them to number almost 600,000. Their census technique relies in the first instance on locating individual colonies, which is done by looking for big brown patches of guano (penguin poo) on the white ice. High resolution imagery is then used to work out the number of birds present.
It is expected that the satellite mapping approach will provide the means to monitor the long-term health of the emperor population. Climate modelling has suggested their numbers could fall in the decades ahead if warming around Antarctica erodes the sea ice on which the animals nest and launch their forays for seafood.
"If we want to understand whether emperor penguins are endangered by climate change, we have to know first how many birds there are currently and have a methodology to monitor them year on year," said Peter Fretwell from the British Antarctic Survey (BAS). "This study gives us that baseline population, which is quite surprising because it's twice as many as we thought, but it also gives us the ability to follow their progress to see if that population is changing over time," he told BBC News.
The scientists have reported their work in the journal PLoS One. Their survey identified 44 key penguin colonies on the White Continent, including seven that had not previously been recognised. Although finding a great splurge of penguin poo on the ice is a fairly straightforward – if laborious – process, counting individual birds in a group huddle is not, even in the highest resolution satellite pictures.
This means the team therefore had to calibrate their analysis of the colonies by using ground counts and aerial photography at some select sites. Fretwell and colleagues totted 595,000 penguins, which is almost double the previous estimates of 270,000-350,000 emperors. The count is thought to be the first comprehensive census of a species taken from space. Co-author Michelle LaRue from the University of Minnesota said the monitoring method provided "an enormous step forward in Antarctic ecology".
"We can conduct research safely and efficiently with little environmental impact," she explained. "The implications for this study are far-reaching. We now have a cost-effective way to apply our methods to other poorly understood species in the Antarctic." The extent of sea ice in the Antarctic has been relatively stable in recent years (unlike in the Arctic), although this picture hides some fairly large regional variations.
Nonetheless, computer modelling suggests a warming of the climate around Antarctica could result in the loss of more northern ice floes later this century. If that happens, it might present problems for some emperor colonies if the seasonal ice starts to break up before fledglings have had a chance to acquire their full adult, waterproof plumage.
And given that the krill (tiny crustaceans) that penguins feed on are also dependent on the ice for their own existence (they feed on algae on the ice) – some colonies affected by eroded floes could face a double-whammy of high fledgling mortality and restricted food resources. But this can all now be tested by the methodology outlined in the PLoS paper.
"The emperor penguin has evolved into a very narrow ecological niche; it's an animal that breeds in the coldest environment in the world," explained Peter Fretwell. "It currently has an advantage in that environment because there are no predators and no competition for its food. "If Antarctica warms so that predators and competitors can move in, then their ecological niche no longer exists; and that spells bad news for the emperor penguin."

9.3: Mr. Taylor, I Presume?
This activity is intended to supplement Calculus, Chapter 8, Lesson 7.
Time required: 45 minutes
Activity Overview
In this activity, students will use the TI-89 to explore Taylor polynomials graphically and analytically. They will also graphically determine the interval where the Taylor polynomial closely approximates the function it models.
Topic: Series and Taylor Polynomials
- Display in a spreadsheet the first few terms of a Taylor series approximation to \begin{align*}f(x)\end{align*} for a given value of \begin{align*}x\end{align*} and compare the value of the Taylor approximation with the value of \begin{align*}f(x)\end{align*}.
- Use Taylor Polynomial (on the Calculus menu) to verify the manual computation of a Taylor Series.
- Graph a function and its Taylor polynomials of various degrees to show their convergence to the function.
Teacher Preparation and Notes
- Students should be familiar with basic differentiation prior to the beginning of this activity.
- Students should be able to graph functions, and set up tables on their calculator. They should also be able to use commands and set up tables on their own.
- This activity is designed to be teacher-led.
- Before starting this activity, students should go to the Home screen and select \begin{align*}F6\end{align*} :Clean Up > 2:NewProb, then press ENTER. This will clear any stored variables, turn off any functions and plots, and clear the drawing and home screens.
Associated Materials
- Student Worksheet: Mr. Taylor, I Presume? http://www.ck12.org/flexr/chapter/9733, scroll down to the third activity.
This activity begins with students finding a polynomial given only the value of its derivatives at a specific \begin{align*}x-\end{align*}value. This is at the heart of finding Taylor polynomials. If students struggle understanding that this method works, it may be necessary to reverse the process and have the students find the derivatives and observe that their values at the given \begin{align*}x-\end{align*}value are the given values of the derivative.
At the conclusion of the introductory problem, the Taylor polynomial form is found when centered at zero. At this time, place the general form of the Taylor polynomial when \begin{align*}x = 0\end{align*} on the board.
\begin{align*}P_n(x) = \frac{f^{(0)}(a)}{0!}(x - a)^0 + \frac{f'(x)}{1!}(x - a)^1 + \frac{f''(x)}{2!}(x - a)^2 + \ldots + \frac{f^{(n)}(x)}{n!}(x - a)^n\end{align*}
Explain that when \begin{align*}a = 0\end{align*}, this matches the form \begin{align*}P(x) = a_0 + a_1 x + a_2 x^2 + a_3 x^3\end{align*}
Taylor polynomial centered at zero
Students are asked to find the 4th degree Taylor polynomial that approximates \begin{align*}f(x) = \ln(x + 5)\end{align*} at \begin{align*}x = 0\end{align*}. The derivatives of the function are:
\begin{align*}f(0) & = \ln (5) \approx 1.609 \\ f'(x) & = \frac{1}{x + 5} \to f'(0) = \frac{1}{5} \\ f''(x) & = \frac{-1}{(x + 5)^2} \to f''(0) = - \frac{1}{25} \\ f'''(x) & = \frac{2}{(x + 5)^3} \to f'''(0) = \frac{2}{125} \\ f^{(4)}(x) & = \frac{-6}{(x + 5)^4} \to f^{(4)}(0) = - \frac{6}{625} \end{align*}
As the students compare the values of the Taylor polynomial with the values of the original function, they will notice that the values are closest at the center (the \begin{align*}x-\end{align*}value where the derivatives were found) and become farther apart the further the \begin{align*}x-\end{align*}values are from the center (the graph demonstrates this even further). Point out to students that not all Taylor polynomials have such a large interval as this one.
The table at the right has the 4th power and 10th power Taylor polynomials as well as the function.
Students will also have a chance to explore different degrees of a Taylor polynomial. It would be best if you choose three larger values ahead of time. Have the students use the Taylor command to find the respective polynomials and graph the function with each of the larger power polynomials in turn. If time permits, have a few students find the 10th degree Taylor polynomial and graph it on the same set of axes as the 4th degree Taylor and the original function. This will demonstrate that a Taylor polynomial will only approximate the function over a given interval, no matter how large the Taylor Polynomial is. It is important for students to know that a Taylor polynomial centered at 0 is known as a Maclaurin polynomial.
Taylor polynomial not centered at zero
When students work the problem of where the Taylor polynomial is not centered at zero, they will observe that the polynomial follows the original function for a much smaller interval. Remind students that they need to use \begin{align*}(x - a)^n\end{align*} instead of \begin{align*}x^n\end{align*}.
The derivatives for this problem are found below.
Derivative | Value at \begin{align*}x = 1\end{align*} | |
\begin{align*}f(x)\end{align*} | \begin{align*}\frac{1}{2 - x}\end{align*} | 1 |
\begin{align*}f'(x)\end{align*} | \begin{align*}-(2 - x)^{-2}(-1) = \frac{1}{(2 - x)^2}\end{align*} | 1 |
\begin{align*}f''(x)\end{align*} | \begin{align*}-2(2 - x)^{-3}(-1) = \frac{2}{(2 - x)^3}\end{align*} | 2 |
\begin{align*}f'''(x)\end{align*} | \begin{align*}2(-3)(2 - x)^{-4}(-1) = \frac{6}{(2 - x)^4}\end{align*} | 6 |
\begin{align*}f^{(4)}(x)\end{align*} | \begin{align*}6(-4)(2 - x)^{-5} (-1) = \frac{24}{(2 - x)^5}\end{align*} | 24 |
The Taylor polynomial can be:
\begin{align*}P(x) & = \frac{1}{0!}(x - 1)^0 + \frac{1}{1!}(x - 1)^1 + \frac{2}{2!}(x - 1)^2 + \frac{6}{3!}(x - 1)^3 + \frac{24}{4!}(x - 1)^4\\ & \qquad \qquad \qquad \qquad \qquad \qquad \text{or}\\ P(x) & = 1 + (x - 1) + (x - 1)^2 + (x - 1)^3 + (x - 1)^4\end{align*}
Pick three values from 0 to 1 (for instance 0.8, 0.5, 0.2) and find the 4th degree Taylor polynomial using the Taylor command. Graph each Taylor polynomial and the original function the same set of axes separately. Students should notice that the interval increases as the center gets closer to zero.
