There are many sports celebrated at Penn State. Students love to cheer on their team and all sorts of student organizations participate in club sports and intramurals.
Although there is some diversity, the campus is still mostly white and tends to follow very American customs.
Party Scene:
There are so many options of places and people to party with whether it be a bar or club if you are over 21 or an apartment or a classic frat party.
Off-Campus Housing:
There are a great deal of apartments both very close to the school or a short bus ride away and also a large spectrum of price points to choose from.
Campus Housing:
It truly depends on what part of campus you choose to live on. The newer dorms are all very nice though all of the dorms seem to be quite tiny.
Guys & Girls:
The typical student goes out regularly on weekends but also works extremely hard during finals, exams and the week.
Campus Quality:
There are so many places for students to study, exercise, eat or meet with friends. During finals there are endless places to study and if you look hard enough you are sure to find one.
There are many opportunities to find internships and connect through online portals and at the career fairs and I believe I will be able to find one.
I must fulfill the required prerequisite classes as well as have a competitive GPA to earn automatic acceptance into my major but otherwise I can apply and also have an opportunity to complete my major as well.
Overall Experience:
Most professors are nice and helpful but there are a few that are absolutely horrendous.
Overall Experience:
There are a great deal of recruiters that come to campus to look at students for prospective jobs.
The campus and downtown police are too strict with underage drinking.
Off-Campus Dining:
The prices are average and so is the food.
Overall Experience:
Professors are very helpful and engaging an always are offering office hours. The class styles and size range from 20 people to a 500 person lecture! You can dress comfy to class (sweatshirt and sweatpants) or even wear a skirt and heels and you won't be judged!
Greek Life:
Greek life is basically a community; i have many friends in a bunch of sororities and frats and we all hang out.
Campus Food:
Penn State food... enough said.
They provide a list of scholarships and deadlines, but I often do not qualify for the scholarships. About a year ago I was awarded two small scholarships. Since then I have not qualified for a scholarship since then.
Off-Campus Housing:
Get off campus housing early
Campus Housing:
Best to live on campus during freshman year
Guys & Girls:
Like any typical school
Local Area:
There are many events held
Party Scene:
You learn to socialize and make friends
I think there is a variety of races
My medical program is a very rigorous course load
Overall Experience:
courses are hard. some teachers are approachable and helpful

Despite common reservations about the location and climate, most Penn State students are fiercely loyal to their alma mater. Penn State boasts one of the largest alumni populations in the United States; graduates are proud of their degrees, and employers recognize the University's name immediately. Although the campus is located in a very rural area, school is technologically up-to-date and on the cutting-edge of current research.
Aside from academics, PSU is also known for its social scene, especially in relation to sports and parties. Nittany Lion football—home of the 2008 Big Ten Champions—is a national draw and a point of pride for both the University and the town of State College. For anyone interested in playing or watching varsity sports, PSU is a top choice. Penn State has also been ranked highly by many polls and "party school" surveys as one of the top party schools in the nation. While it certainly isn't the wildest town, these rankings are definitely accurate. The small-town setting and large-school atmosphere makes for little else in the way of entertainment, so it can be hard to avoid encountering the party scene during your time as a student. Still, the mix of work and leisure seems to work well for most of the student body, and academic standards at Penn State remain relatively high. It's easy to spend four years at Penn State as an ever-serious student, focused completely on whatever you choose to study. With so many opportunities to relax nearby, balance and moderation are some of the best skills to learn from your four years in college.

Respect, Shame, and the Power of Words
I love my legs. There, I said it! While I don't have any serious self-esteem problems, I have always had trouble taking compliments and pinpointing the parts of myself I most appreciate. At the same time though, I'm not shy about expressing my opinion and standing up for what I believe is right. Friends who have argued with me about subjects ranging from books to movies to politics will surely agree.
But lately I've been noticing that while there are campaigns out there telling me I'm beautiful no matter what, society doesn't actually allow people to feel that in a truly positive way. I've heard one too many stories about friends being hurt (emotionally and physically) by street harassment. I'm sick of people thinking they have the right to shout out whatever they like to others without any thought for their feelings.
Wide, Lush, Sharp, Bright
Truthfully, I always needed other writers. As you know if you're a writer, letting people into your brain is kind of like letting someone see you naked: Just…be careful. Not everyone deserves it. Finding the like minded is an unbelievable gift. Finding those who understand what it's like to have a universe in your head, or to need a pen all the time, or what it is like when you read a perfect sentence, is what keeps a writer from going crazy.
I need other writers because when I talk about my work out loud, it gets bigger and clearer. I see what's there. Writers are (fine, I am) a cranky, unpredictable lot. Finding us can be hard; getting us together can be even harder. Sometimes it's a matter of luck, so if you think you might be onto something, I would recommend jumping on it immediately. It's not often that an opportunity comes along like the Rising Voices Fellowship that's serious about cultivating writers and community. The right company makes a difference. I promise.
Prinz, Persecution, and the Pursuit of Justice
I've been working at the Jewish Women's Archive since the day after Martin Luther King, Jr. Day in 2011. In my almost-three years here, I have learned one thing above all else: in order to understand ourselves, to know our past, and to build our future, we must tell our stories. And this past week has been one of my most favorite weeks of story telling as every blog, news agency, and Facebook user has shared anecdotes, historical photos, and reflections of the 1963 March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom.
Last week I highlighted some little-known historical facts about the March, including the involvement of Jews in the event. Since then, I have seen Rabbi Joachim Prinz's name and words all over the Internet as Jews claim him as our own and passionately take up the legacy of his work for civil rights and social justice.
The Rising Voices Fellowship: Sharing Our Stories
JWA and Prozdor have launched the pilot year of our Rising Voices Fellowship. To learn more, follow this link. Applications are due by 10pm on September 16.
JWA has joined forces with Prozdor, a pluralistic Hebrew high school program, to launch the pilot year of a fellowship designed for female-identified teens in grades 11 and 12 who are looking to raise their voices. The fellowship will be awarded to 3 to 5 teens who show a passion for writing, a potential for blogging, a demonstrated concern for current events, a commitment to improving their writing skills, and a strong interest in Judaism—particularly as it relates to issues of gender and equality.
The Rising Voices Fellowship will open our blog to a new cohort of writers, as each fellow will craft one blog post a month. And, knowing that it isn't always the easiest thing to be a writer, the fellowship will provide a community and support. Together we will learn and allow our voices to be heard. Together we will explore our voices, hone our skills, and share our experiences.
Announcing the Rising Voices Fellowship for Teens
Prozdor and the Jewish Women's Archive are thrilled to announce the pilot year of our Rising Voices Fellowship!
The fellowship is open to female-identified teens in grades 11 and 12 who have a passion for writing, a demonstrated concern for current events, a commitment to improving their writing skills, and a strong interest in Judaism—particularly as it relates to issues of gender and equality. These fellows will write 8-12 monthly posts for "Jewesses with Attitude," the Jewish Women's Archive blog.
50 Years On: 5 Things I Learned About the March on Washington
In honor of the 50th anniversary of the March tomorrow, I would like to share 5 things I have learned about the March on Washington that you may not already know—one for each decade. I hope you'll take this opportunity to check your assumptions and look more closely at this monumental, game-changing event.
Celebrating My Right to Vote: Women's Equality Day
With Women's Equality Day just around the corner, voting has been on my mind.
And, I'll admit it, voting isn't usually on my mind—especially during August. But Women's Equality Day, which celebrates women's right to vote, has me thinking about voting.
I'm a pretty civic-minded person—fast to roll my eyes at people who tell me they don't see the point in voting. While I'm not usually thinking about voting, it wouldn't be entirely accurate to say that I take voting for granted. In fact, I can't imagine not being able to vote. Voting, expressing my views and taking a stand, is so central to my belief system that it's hard to imagine not being able to vote.
Dayenu. Dayenu. Dayenu.
This past year, I took a group of seven teens on a tour of the American South. The trip was inspired by my desire to infuse young people with a sense of history and context as it relates to Judaism in the South and Jews in the Civil Rights Movement.
We began in Atlanta, then drove to Alabama, stopping in Birmingham, Montgomery, Selma, and many places in between. We met with people who had lived through segregation and fought against it. We saw the Rosa Parks Museum, experienced history, and talked about what it means to be an American Jew from the Northeast.
Summer & the Educator
Somehow summer has flown by—it's August 19, which pretty much came out of nowhere. If you're anything like me, summer started with grand plans and lofty ambitions. The pages in the calendar stretched on and on, and great adventures were planned for sometime later this summer. And, somehow… summer is coming to a screeching, halting stop.
Dear Wendy
When I was 15 years old, I was about to go on vacation with my grandparents and I needed a book. I picked up a collection of three of your plays (The Heidi Chronicles, Uncommon Women and Others, & Isn't It Romantic) that I'd been assigned to read for my ninth grade English class, but never gotten around to studying. I didn't know anything about you or the plays before opening the book, but I was soon transported to a world of women who didn't necessarily know exactly what they wanted out of their educations, careers, and relationships, but did know they wanted a great deal. Suffice to say, it greatly appealed to me.
Blame It on the Bossa Nova: Remembering Eydie Gorme
I've been listening to Eydie sing today, particularly a standout performance of a song from the 1966 musical Mame. I dare you to listen to her sing "If He Walked Into My Life" here and not feel the expressive pull, the regret, the heartache as she hits every dramatic emotional nuance of this difficult song. Not only is she technically right on the money, she nails it with aplomb and finish. Listen to it, and I guarantee you'll feel what Steve Lawrence felt about her: "I fell in love with her the moment I saw her and even more the first time I heard her sing. While my personal loss is unimaginable, the world has lost one of the greatest pop vocalists of all time."
Laughing Until I Cried: Hebrew school
I will never forget that our really serious, really smart, really devout rabbi came to our class one day and talked with us about the idea of God. The part I'll never forget was when he said, "It's OK if you don't believe in God. Sometimes I don't, either." Since about ten years later I came to identify as an atheist Jew, I think that statement rang in the halls of my consciousness for years afterwards.
That "Aha" Moment
Every child deserves the right to learn. Every Jewish child deserves to have a Jewish education. Every teacher should have the opportunity to watch a child have that "aha" moment. Every child deserves to learn without having any stumbling blocks in his or her path and as a teacher, it is my pleasure, to ensure that there are never any in stumbling blocks in the way.
Women and Tallit
Why do some women wear Tallit? Why shouldn't women wear Tallit? What's the big deal?
If you're like me, you probably haven't spent a lot of time pondering these questions. As someone who falls somewhere outside of regular observance, a tallit, or prayer shawl, isn't usually on the forefront of my thoughts. (Even defining a tallit required a quick search of myjewishlearning.com.)
Last week I was lucky enough to join hundreds of Jewish educators at NewCAJE, a peer led conference that brings together educators from all walks of Jewish life. One of the highlights of my time at the conference was attending a session led by Ronni Ticker entitled "Women of the Wall- What's the Big Deal?"
Elul, my Grandma, the Tomato Hornworm, and the Talmud
Even as it's the start of August and the middle of summer, it's also about to be the start of the Hebrew month of Elul.
I'm particularly conscious of the timing because my Grandma died – ten years ago this month – on the last day of Av. Confusingly the last day of Av is the first day of Rosh Chodesh Elul; ie the day before the second day of Rosh Chodesh Elul, which is in fact the first day of Elul. That in turn is the first day we blow shofar, and thus the official start of the season of teshuva – of returning to our best selves. So, in honor of my grandma, and lest the holidays catch you unawares, a few things to think about in the forthcoming season of teshuva.
Take Back the Bar
It's one thing to swap stories (the guy who didn't understand personal space on the subway, the guy who wouldn't stop talking to you despite the headphones in your ears and your nose in the book, the guy who shouted something about what you were wearing) and, well, it's another thing to take action. While great resources exist online—like hollaback, an app that exists in 64 cities across 22 countries—support can feel hard to come by. Harassment can feel isolating.
My/Her Tattoo
I knew when I went to get my first tattoo that the hardest part wouldn't be the pain (although it did hurt quite a bit), it would be telling my mother. I had the idea when I was living in Israel, where I fell in love with Hebrew–it's twists and turns and calligraphy were captivating to me. Chazak, strength, meant to me that I would always be strong, even in moments of weakness or distress.
To Tattoo Or Not To Tattoo
I am leaving tomorrow for a trip home to LA. Between visiting cousins, friends, new babies, and family, my trips home tend to whiz by in a blur of too-short-check-ins.
This Week in History
Do you subscribe to our This Week in History email list? If you don't, you're missing out on time travel. Alright fine, maybe not time travel. But, you are missing out on weekly emails that bring you all of the facts, histories, and stories from the American Jewish world of yesteryear.
3,000 Universes
Since its inception, Yad Vashem has been in the forefront of identifying and honoring Righteous Gentiles saved Jews during WWII. Many of these individuals hid Jews in their homes or organized hiding places that allowed Jews to escape the Nazi dragnet. Stories like those of Oskar Schindler (of Schindler's List fame) and Raoul Wallenberg are well known. Others, no less amazing, are only now beginning to come to light.
Girl Rising
Abby Mohr lives a stone's throw away from Boston, but her take on education is global. Barely even in her teenage years, and she cares deeply about making sure girls all over the world can get an education. "I really like school," she says. "Boys get to go to school all over the world, and girls should too." Most teenagers probably do not realize just how lucky they are to be educated, but Abby is not one of them.
My North Carolina Abortion
When I first began writing this piece, I wanted to explain why I got an abortion. But then I remembered it's no one else's business. And that's what's missing from the conversation in North Carolina. I don't think its a bad thing for all health clinics to uphold a certain level of standards, both in hygiene and practice; in fact I want that to be the case for any place where I or my loved ones receive medical care. But it IS a bad thing to attempt to limit my right, or the right of any other woman, to make decisions about their body and pass it off as "protection".
How Do We Use Our Privilege?
The struggle for social justice involves going beyond what is easy, taking actions that are often risky. I find it helpful to have role models to remind me of the work that needs to be done and often is done by people of privilege. The Jewish Women's Archive website is brimming with just such role models—hundreds of examples of women who did not let their privilege positions keep them from taking courageous action. JWA gives us a look at how our foremothers reconciled the complicated relationship between privilege and activism.
Stop Teaching Students That Sexual Assault Is a Potential Consequence of Drinking
Probably the only thing better than reading a thought provoking piece in a major publication is realizing it was penned by a colleague. Leah Berkenwald, the former editor of our blog, wrote a fantastic article about sexual assault and responsibility. Her message veers away from the traditional, and unfortunate, message of placing blame on women who drink too much and open themselves up for violence, and instead asks the reader to think about the sexual culture of college campuses. Today Leah is the Wellness Education Coordinator at Wentworth Institute of Technology, where she is implementing an original bystander intervention campaign to prevent sexual assault called "Be a WIThero."
As the words of Eicha echo in my ears and the tune gets stuck in my head, I think about how next summer we will still be lamenting same historical tragedies. The crusades and the inquisition and the Holocaust and the siege of Jerusalem all still will have happened. But additional tragedies, of children going to bed and waking up and going to bed again still hungry, of brains not being fed by education, and of bodies forced to bear children they do not want or cannot take care of, are still ahead of us.

Pan Tau (Czech for "Mr. Tau") is a character created for a children's television series. There were 33 episodes made by the Czechoslovak Television (ČST) in co-operation with Barrandov Studios and the West German TV network Westdeutscher Rundfunk (WDR). A pilot film was shot in 1966, 33 episodes were made from 1969 until 1978. The project ended with a feature film in 1988.
The protagonist Pan Tau, who generally didn't speak and communicated through pantomime, was played by Otto Šimánek (1925–1992). The series was written by Ota Hofman and directed by Jindřich Polák. The stories were generally funny, but contained some kind of problem for a child, and here Pan Tau found the way to solve the problem.
Pan Tau always had a gentle expression and a friendly smile, he was elegantly dressed in a stroller, with an umbrella and a white carnation in the lapel. Foremost, he was famous for his magic bowler hat. By tapping on his hat, Pan Tau was able to change his appearance into a puppet, to conjure up miscellaneous objects or to do other magic. His most characteristical behaviour is that he would help children who were experiencing some sort of difficulties in-between their dreams and reality, like finding a place for skiing, settling family problems on Christmas, and even give a boy a good time at a fair when he is supposed to have piano lessons. To adults, he usually remained invisible.
Although Czechoslovakia then was under communistic regime, this never was very obvious for the viewers. And Pan Tau was a popular children program in several countries eather side of the Iron Curtain (f.i. in West and East Germany and also in the Scandinavian countries) which also applied to the adult parents in a certain degree.
Theodor Pištěk designed the costumes for the series.
Ten years after the end of the series, Šimánek again appeared as Pan Tau in a 1988 cinema film. He was also featured in Nena's 1990 music video for Du bist überall ("You Are Everywhere", from the Wunder gescheh'n studio album), which was shot in Prague.

The home side had battled to 68 for two at lunch and moved on to 159 for four after the afternoon session, with AB de Villiers unbeaten on 10 and Faf du Plessis (14 not out).
Captain Graeme Smith (24) was one of the two wickets to fall in the morning in his 100th Test as captain - 99 for his country and one for a World XI side - as Pakistan's bowlers made life difficult for the world number one side.
Alviro Petersen (20) was also back in the pavilion before Hashim Amla and Jacques Kallis saw the Proteas through to lunch.
There seemed to be plenty of life in the Wanderers pitch for the bowlers and Pakistan were initially frustrated as the ball flew past the outside edge on several occasions.
South Africa appeared to have weathered the early storm as Petersen and Smith approached a half-century opening stand, but Petersen then got a leading edge which looped up to third slip off the impressive Junaid Khan with the total on 46.
And it was soon 46 for two as Smith, who had won the toss and opted to bat, edged behind off Umar Gul, giving wicketkeeper Sarfraz Ahmed a simple catch.
Kallis and Amla ensured there were no further losses and the pair looked in good form after lunch, with Kallis reaching his 50 off 74 balls and Amla content to play a typically patient innings.
However, just after reaching his half-century, Kallis (50) miscued a pull shot and was superbly caught in the deep by Asad Shafiq, who dove forward to take an excellent catch at full stretch.
And Amla (37) went just 10 runs later as he was caught off the bowling of Younis Khan as South Africa were reduced to 135 for four.

I'm a newbie on the Mac world and I'd like to know if it's possible to cut a file using a shortcut (like Ctrl+X on Windows).
It is possible to cut-paste files/folders in Mac OS X 10.7 (Lion)'s Finder (so, since at least 2011), but the Mac OS X way is slightly different from the Windows way. This method works in other versions of Mac OS X as well.
So, the steps are very similar to copy-paste, but holding ⌥ (option key) moves the file/folder instead of copies it.
You can also have a look in the edit menu after copying a file - press ⌥ while looking to see the difference: "paste" changes to "move item here."
I like XtraFinder
It's an enhanced version of Finder. You get Cut & Paste and a bunch of other features.
And it's free.
The method using ⌘-C and ⌘-⌥-V is by far the easiest and arguably the most efficient way to cut / paste files in the Finder if that's all you want.
If you're going for 3rd party extensions or applications and want an awesome Finder replacement, I'd suggest giving Pathfinder (http://www.cocoatech.com/pathfinder/) a try.
It's the most feature rich Finder replacement out there...

GYEONGJU/BUSAN, Feb. 18 (Yonhap) -- At least 10 people were killed and more than 100 others were injured after a gymnasium in a southern resort town collapsed late Monday, according to local police officials.
Police said 565 first-year students from Busan University of Foreign Studies were having a welcoming party for freshmen in the building in Gyeongju, 370 kilometers south of Seoul, when it collapsed at around 9:11 p.m.
As of 3 a.m. Tuesday, police said nine students and one party organizer had died and about 100 others had been transfered to hospitals in the nearby city of Ulsan, with 17 of them under treatment for serious injuries. Police also said three students and 11 party organizers remained unaccounted for.
They feared that the toll could rise through the wee hours of Tuesday as the rescue work progresses, with about 400 fire and police officials and troops from nearby Marine Corps and Army units on the scene.
Local fire officials said they had difficulty reaching the scene because the resort is in the mountains, some 500 meters above sea level, and it was snowing on Monday night. The narrow and slippery road leading to the gym forced the majority of the rescue workers to walk several hundred meters to the scene, officials added.
Authorities speculated that heavy snow atop the roof could have caused the collapse, following recent massive snowfalls across the country, but they are investigating to find the exact cause. Gyeongju and the surrounding regions had received about 50 centimeters of snow over the past week, according to officials.
Police in Gyeongju said once the rescue work is finished, they will launch a thorough investigation into the cause behind the fatal incident.
They said they will ask officials at the resort why they hadn't removed snow from the building's roof before the students' function. Police will also try to find out if the building was an unauthorized structure that had failed to meet safety standards.
Officials at Busan University of Foreign Studies said the school has dispatched about 20 officials to Gyeongju and to Ulsan for assistance. They added that the surviving students will stay in the resort overnight and return to the campus early Tuesday.
Chung Hae-lin, president of the university, issued an apology, saying the school will assume all responsibilities for the affected students.
The school's officials acknowledged that the freshman party was held off campus because of disagreements between the school administration and the student council.
According to officials, the school offered to hold the one-day freshman orientation event on its new campus on Feb. 28, but the student council asked to hold it at an outside location.
The school granted the request but declined to provide financial support, officials said. The student council asked participating freshmen and other senior students to pay 60,000 won (US$56.60) each, according to one student who attended the party.
One professor said the student council, strapped for cash, might have been forced to host the event at an inexpensive location.

The snowboarding today was great until afternoon when my friends and I went into the lodge to get a drink and came out 5 min. latter only to find that of all the 20 or so boards in the rack someone decided my board looked new and good enough for them to steal. After contacting security and filing a complaint I was told I probally would never retrieve it as they have no camers by the board racks. I find that strange since every building up there says that every resort event is being taped. I went home and told my big Brother who is a policeman in town and he said not again they just had a Sh_t load stole up there last weekend. It seems to me if they have a bunch of theives up there stealing everyone's snow board they would tighten up security at Tamarack to keep the Publicity down on they have no lockups for your boards or ski's and you cannot take your equipment indoors while you eat or go to the restroom while sking. THAT SUCKS IT WAS A BRAND NEW BOARD, I am a local and worked all summer to buy that new board, and season pass. This is my second season pass and I think next year I will find something else to do with my summer work money like go snockeling.

Sofia Vergara in Hudson Flared Jeans
Sofia Vergara was seen walking through Soho in New York City with her son (not pictured). She looks so bright and summery in this outfit! I love the pop of neon yellow from her tied up shirt! It's gorgeous!
Of course she paired it with her favourite jeans, her Hudson flares! She is a huge fan of Hudson jeans and flared jeans in general. I really like them paired with yellow though, I would love to see her style more jeans with neon yellow! What do you think? Buy Hudson Jeans online at HudsonJeans.com.

It was Eviction Night number four in the Big Brother house, and we were slightly surprised to see Matthew Davies head up the stairs and out of the door.
Ash Harrison escaped the boot again, and he's got a chance to redeem himself over the next few days.
There were plenty of other notable incidents among tonight's highlights as well - not least Steven Goode's transformation into the boyfriend from hell now that he's snogged Kimberly Kisselovich.
Here's half a dozen lessons that we learned during Friday night's show…
1. Matthew won't really be missed
Bye then, Matthew Davies. Mark's sad to see you go but you'll soon be forgotten.
You were snotty, judgmental and a bit too arrogant for your own good.
Plus, when you were done up as a corpse in this week's task, it was hard to tell the difference.
If Matthew was twice as interesting as he seems to think he is, he'd still be duller than some brown 1970s wallpaper.
2. Steven has gone even weirder after kissing Kimberly
Stimberly is now finally a thing and the male half has turned into some kind of bonkers caveman with the female half.
Look, Kimberly, if you've got another bloke on the outside, you need to finish it now. Tell him into the camera.
Why didn't you do it, Kimberly? Steven looks so cool with his cap like that! Choose Steven! Marry him! Now!
3. Ash is indestructible
Male model Ash Harrison lives to fight another day and the bookies get it horribly wrong for the second week in a row.
For the past two weeks, he's been the odds-on favourite to go but has survived at the expense of Toya A Washington and now Matthew.
If you're placing a bet next week, don't back Teflon Ash - put your money on the second favourite instead.
4. The BB house just isn't as clever as it used to be
In his post-eviction interview, Matthew complained that there's no level of intellectual stimulation in the house.
That's quite surprising - me and the rest of the gang down at the Mensa club are all gagging to get on that show so we can discuss some philosophy and that.
Who could forget Big Brother 5, when the diary room was renamed the theory room?
5. Helen is no joker
Hey, if there's one thing you'd associate Helen Wood with, it's her sense of humour.
Well, maybe after her intolerance, short temper, mean spirit and permanent cob-on.
Her poor housemates looked bemused and afraid by her campaign of LOLZ – and have you ever seen a scarier clown?
6. There could be a storm brewing between Mark and Jale
Poor Mark Byron was on the receiving end of Jale Karaturp's sharp tongue and for what? Just because he added all the spice to last night's meal and gave everyone dicky tummies? Harsh.
It sounded like she was just getting her revenge for the hatchet job he did on her eyebrows last week.
This could go either way – a Helen v Matthew row or a Winston v Danielle odd couple match-up.

AUSTIN -- Jeremiah Jefferson scored a game-high 29 points as Triple A Academy captured its first state championship in school history by defeating Mumford, 80-54, on Saturday in the Class 1A Division I boys basketball state-title game at the Frank Erwin Center.
Triple A (28-5) was sluggish to start and trailed Mumford by seven points after the first quarter. Thereafter it was all Triple A.
LaKendric Hyson led the Mustangs with 22 points and 10 rebounds. Aubrie King added 13 points and Dion Mack chipped in nine.
Tyler Singleton scored 18 points and Frank Hollis added 12 for Triple A, a team with at least five Division I college basketball prospects according to coach Tim Singleton.
Mumford (39-1) committed 20 turnovers and lost just its second game in two seasons. Both losses came in the state finals.

I've driven a scooter once before, so I felt fairly comfortable the second time around. I'm not talking about an Amish scooter propelled by leg power; this one has 50 ccs of power and is a registered vehicle.
The day was gorgeous. The sun was out and the temperature was in the low 80's. My friend Andrea and I were ready for a fun afternoon with Strasburg Scooters. We were excited for our guided tour through the back roads of Lancaster County with stops at several covered bridges and an authentic Amish farm. We joined 10 others for this adventure; most of which were from out of state. The owner, Marc Crusemire, was our tour guide. Marc was fantastic. He's personable, patient, but above all, safety conscious.
We spent about an hour practicing with our scooters before heading on our tour. I was chomping at the bit to get on the road. There's nothing like cruising the back roads on an open scooter at a leisurely pace!
The tour lasted 3 hours and was well worth the price. The price includes scooter rental, a helmet, a professional guide, and plenty of bottled water. All you need to bring is a valid driver's license and eye protection (sunglasses/eye glasses). Feel free to bring along your camera, phone, handbag, etc. as there is plenty of storage in the compartment under the seat.
Strasburg Scooter has single and double seat scooter as well as the new Scoot Coupe (it looks like a mini car). They offer several tour options including a Thanksgiving Day Tour (talk about a memorable holiday!).
Our tour was so much fun! I'd do it again in a heartbeat. Whether you're a local or a visitor, it's a great way to spend an afternoon.

Jacob Milberger's life turned upside down 18 months ago.
His mother's did, too.
That's when Jacob, 12, was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes, a disease for which there is no cure and one she says is among the most expensive chronic diseases to treat.
"It's the third most expensive chronic disease in the United States," said Jacob's mom, Darcey Frazier. "My son is insulin dependent. If he doesn't get it, he'll die."
It's the peak of summer. The countdown begins to the first day of back-to-school shopping. Parents are thrilled and kids want to stretch each day out to put off the inevitable.
It's been a busy summer for me and we didn't get away to some exotic place or even Tennessee. I'm a band mom so in just a few days, my middle child and I will have our summer come to an abrupt end. That doesn't mean I can't try to imagine beach sunsets from my back deck. How? Through food and fabulous cocktails, of course.
There are times when the eyes see, the ears hear but the brain is unable to put it all together to process.
There are times like last Friday morning when I woke up, turned on the TV and learned of the horror in Dallas the night before.Five policemen had been gunned down as they worked to protect a protest about police actions in other cities.
From staff reports
A new church, Faith Bible Baptist Church, has opened in Lawrenceburg.
Located at 209 East Woodford St. behind Scott Brown Karate School, the church is an independent and fundamental group that uses the King James Bible.
Congregants practice a traditional style of worship and "aim to evangelize the gospel to the unchurched, strengthen and help the dissatisfied members of the community that are not going to church," according to Pastor Nathan Mowery.

John E. Tracy, son of Mr. and Mrs. Leroy Tracy, returned home after receiving his discharge from the U.S. Air Force. Tracy spent four years in the service. He came home from the Vandenberg Air Force Base in California.
Whew! The most talked about subject in Anderson County this week was the weather. It had been a scorcher with temperatures going to near record heights.
Danny and Constance Adams of Lawrenceburg announce the engagement and forthcoming wedding of their daughter, Kelly Danielle Adams to William James Chowning, son of Lee and Karen Chowning of Lawrenceburg.
The wedding is planned for 3:30 p.m. July 16 at Mt. Pleasant Baptist Church. Bro. Gary Drury will perform the ceremony.
Both the bride and groom are members of Mt. Pleasant Baptist Church.
All are welcome.
Men's Sunday school
class meets
Sand Spring Baptist Church hosts a Men's Bible study class at 10 a.m. Sunday mornings in the church library.
Steve Vogelsberg will lead the group.
The church is located at 1616 Harrodsburg Road, Lawrenceburg.

Homecoming concert
planned for July 15
Sand Spring Baptist Church will host a gospel concert at 7 p.m. July 15.

Judah Sebastian, 5, left, and Grace Schweighardt, 3, show off their library projects during the summer reading program last week. The two were excited to turn their assignments in.
Anderson County High School graduate Mia Aldridge played for the Kentucky All-Stars in the annual softball series with the Tennessee All-Stars on June 29.
Kentucky won both games, 2-0, in the series played in Bowling Green.
Kentucky had four hits in both games, while Blue Grass pitching limited Tennessee to two hits in each game, according to Anderson County coach Brent Aldridge.
Mia Aldridge went 0-for-3 in the games, playing in the outfield in both games.
To say baseball has changed is kind of like noting it's been a while since the Chicago Cubs won the World Series.
The Cubs seem to have their best shot in years in ending a drought of 107 years this year and the big reason is pitching. Lots of good pitching.
But one statistic stands out when considering how pitching and an awareness of how the arm works has changed.
Complete games. Once an indicator of a pitcher's effectiveness, complete games at the major league level are almost a thing of the past.

Turning brain waves into music helps spot seizures
The music is eerie, if not altogether aesthetically pleasing. Like a soundtrack moments before a film's horrifying twist, the sounds of the brain in a state of seizure betrays the plot with little more than a skin-prickling crescendo.
Tricking the brain
Most interns don't deliberately try to deceive executives at their employer's company, but Dolby intern Jimmy Tobin was asked to do just that.
For a reception following a day of meetings for the company's 90 top leaders, Tobin, a student of symbolic systems at Stanford University, and fellow interns working in the Science Group with Senior Staff Scientist Poppy Crum were asked to create a series of demonstrations of perceptual illusions.
Stanford scientists build a 'brain stethoscope' to turn seizures into music
When Chris Chafe and Josef Parvizi began transforming recordings of brain activity into music, they did so with artistic aspirations. The professors soon realized, though, that the work could lead to a powerful biofeedback tool for identifying brain patterns associated with seizures. Read more here...
The Stanford Ph.D Student Making Human Music with a Laptop
When it comes to music-making, laptops get a bad rap. They're cold, impersonal, inexpressive, and can't summon the warmth of traditional acoustic instruments. Or at least that's one way to look at it. Experimental musician Holly Herndon disagrees — and has spent much of her career exploring the expressive potential of the machines that are now an inseparable part of modern life.

Exchange rate misalignments: A comparison of China today against recent historical experiences of Japan, Germany, Singapore and Taiwan
The familiar claim of Chinese currency manipulation is generally asserted without reference to empirical evidence. To investigate the legitimacy of the claim, we ask if the undervalued misalignment found in the real effective exchange rate (REER) of the Chinese renminbi (RMB) over the past decade has any recent historical precedents. Four cases are examined: the Japanese yen, the Deutsche mark, the Singapore dollar and the Taiwan dollar. Panel-based misalignment estimates of the REER of the four currencies are obtained using quarterly data from the late 1970s to the early 2000s. Our estimates suggest that there are precedents to the recent misalignment of the RMB in terms of magnitude, duration or breadth of currency coverage, and that a net build-up in foreign asset does not necessarily result in currency misalignment. In addition to finding little empirical justification for the claim of Chinese currency manipulation, we note that REER misalignment runs a risk of propagating inflation in the home economy.

Trans-Tasman Resources now has less than a week to appeal to
the High Court in a bid to save its plans to mine ironsands
off the South Taranaki coast. The Environmental Protection
Authority's declined TTR's application to mine the South
Taranaki seabed two weeks (10 working days ) ago, citing lack
of certainty around negative environmental impacts.
TTR spokeswoman Rose Austen-Falloon said the company had 15
working days to appeal to the high court and intended to use
that time.
"We're still considering our options," she said.
The company had applied for a consent to mine 66sq/km located
between 22 and 36km offshore in the South Taranaki Bight, in
what would be one of the first projects of its kind in New
Up to 50 million tonnes of sand per year would be processed
on ships to remove iron ore with about 45 million tonnes of
waste sand returned to the seabed.
Chairman of the anti-mining group KASM Phil McCabe, who two
weeks ago was celebrating the EPA's decision, did not see
anything for TTR to gain from an appeal.
"They've been given a pretty comprehensive decision already,"
he said.
"I would appeal for them not to appeal."
Mr McCabe said if TTR were to appeal against the decision he
would expect KASM would be involved in fighting it.

This was my first guitar,but I'm not some idiot that knows 3 chords haha. Anyway, let me just say that this guitar is the BEES KNEES! You heard me. I've played big name acoustics,some costing well over 10X this one,swear on my life. Out of the box with some ernie ball earthwoods,or elixrs if you wanna go big,this thing sounds UN-BE-LIEVEABLE, it has an incredible resonance and projection I haven't heard in $3000 guitars. It plays really, really well too, with a minimal of adjustments. Sure It does look "plain" but the woodgrain on the back and sides is beautiful,and its the sound that matters right?And I'm not just gushing because mines good,I've played about 5 more just like it,they're consistent as anything.It stays in tune amazingly enough.And it's tough as nails,its fallen 5 feet,right on the neck,and only barely chipped the back of the neck.I guarantee this will blow your mind,if it's your 1st guitar, or your 50th.

For a first guitar, It's great. Don't get me wrong, has everything the starting guitarist needs (bag, picks, tuner, strings...). So it's definitely a good value. Once you start to get better, or at least halfway decent, you start to notice the imperfections. First off, It's made in China. Not that it means much but it kind of explains why it's so cheaply made. The frets buzz horribly, the tuners don't stay in tune very well, and it scratches extremely easily. That's okay if you want the seasoned look, but if you don't, it sucks. So depending on your skill and experience, you should consider what you pay for

Comments about Fender DG-8S Acoustic Guitar Value Pack:
I've owned this guitar for nearly 24 hours and so far I've straightened the neck and re-strung it. I will be taking some meat off the bottom of the saddle to lower the action, tho' it's not that high its just I like a low action and this guitar will take that with no problem. I will be fitting a Fishman Presys Pre-amp and it will be used fairly regularly on gigs. I bought it 2nd hand and there's no marks on it, no chips, in fact it looks like brand new. It will join my Maton Performer, Ovation Custom Balladeer and Epiphone EJ200SCE in my roster of working guitars. For a cheaper guitar it is certainly a good class instrument.. Al
- Very nice for the price
Best Uses
Comments about Fender DG-8S Acoustic Guitar Value Pack:
I am a music teacher. I recommend this guitar pack for all my students to get started. They have all been very happy with it and I also bought it for my son for his Birthday. The reasons are:
1. You get solid spruce top in this price range! That makes the guitar sound so much better and is very unusual at this price point. Usually you get all laminate wood at this price. The sides and back are still laminate, but the solid top sold me on this guitar.
2. The guitar is set up well and holds a tune. I have all my students switch to Elixir Nanoweb custom light 11 gauge strings. After that is done, this guitar plays easily and that makes all the difference between someone getting frustrated and quitting versus someone loving guitar because their instrument sounds good and plays well.
3. It is very beautiful. The guitar is impressive looking. I am only familiar with the natural wood version and it is shiny and beautiful with a binding around the body and a mother of Pearl Rosette. These are luxuries not usually found at this price point.
4. It is a Fender. A well-respected brand that has been around a long time! I also own a Fender Stratocaster and a Fender tube amp and love them too.
5. The pack also provides a tuner, strap and a nice gig bag to safely transport the guitar. The value is exceptional here!

We were in the market for an acoustic guitar for my 20 year old son. A friend told me about Musician's Friend and their experiences. Found what we were looking for AND got a great deal. Had problems getting a coupon code to work so I got on their online chat. Got excellent help from a customer service rep. and a new coupon code that worked! I chose regular shipping since it was free. It was close to Christmas and the guitar was delivered in TWO DAYS! We were pleasantly surprised! Will definitely return for more items.

Comments about Fender DG-8S Acoustic Guitar Value Pack:
This seems to be a quality instrument with a VERY nice sound - particularly for the price....It was purchased for my daughter for Christmas and I wasn't sure how interested she'd be about learning guitar. (she plays piano/keybord) I DO however have two sons that play guitar who have instruments in the 800-1200$ range, so I do know a quality instrument when I see/hear one! I was quite pleased!
Comments about Fender DG-8S Acoustic Guitar Value Pack:
After you learn your open chords on this guitar you may find yourself struggling to play anything else. The action is just a bit too high and with no truss rod it's just a matter of time before this guitar ends up at a yard sale. It's really a shame since it carries the Fender name. That being said, it does have a nice tone and looks great, but as a long term buy it just doesn't seem to have the kind of playability that I feel is needed to keep me interested for years to come.
I'm a new guitar player so I don't have a lot of experience with various brands. That's why I chose Fender. After reading a few reviews online I went with this one based on price and brand. The tone is great, and it stays in tune very well. Intonation seems good but I've only been playing it for two weeks.
The finish and hardware are very nice for the money. If I had to look for an accoustic guitar again I would go to my local guitar shop though. I see other reviews that say better playing guitars are out there for the same money.
At the end of the day, it comes down to how does this guitar feels and sounds. It looks like a more expensive model but plays like a $200 guitar. Remember, I'm a beginner and haven't had much experience with accoustic instruments!
Comments about Fender DG-8S Acoustic Guitar Value Pack:
7 is kind of high but you have to take into consideration the price
Some plastic parts but otherwise constructed well. It's held up to 3 years of playing.
I couldn't find a new guitar that sounded as well for the money
Comments about Fender DG-8S Acoustic Guitar Value Pack:
This was my first guitar. I have loved it and as a beginner I found the guitar tuner to be very helpful. If you are only interested in the guitar itself, I have been much more impressed with Rogue guitars for the price range, but this guitar is not at all a bad buy.
Comments about Fender DG-8S Acoustic Guitar Value Pack:
I bought this guitar with hopes of having a second guitar to just beat around and play when I don't want my martin to get destroyed. This had potential to be that, but the neck was unplayable(even after a pro setup) and the sound was okay at best. There are much better guitars out there for 199.99. Even for a beginner I probably wouldn't reccomend this. I would tell that person to go get a used Breedlove passport. Much better guitars for the same price.
