When I was a child, I had a puppy named "poppy". One of her favorite play was catch ball. But the problem was when she caught the ball with her mouth, because she didn't want to set a ball free and persistently biting it. Every time I played with my puppy, I had to take a ball away from her mouth by force, and it was really tough work.
Now, as a college student, I learned how to train the dog with the positive reinforcement. If I knew this before, my puppy and I would have a more fun play.
Positive reinforcement is presentation of a stimulus that strengthens the probability of the behavior. With treats and praise, it is easy to train the dog. Importance thing to remember is the shaping behavior. If the teaching certain behaviors takes some time, reinforcing something close to the desired technique then gradually requiring more to achieve the final technique.
One of the dog trick that I wanted to train my puppy was "Play Dead" This fascinating trick can be trained easily with positive reinforcement. To train this trick with the shaping behavior, initially reward dog for lie-down, then for staying motionless.

Two questions: Do you think we will meet Mephisto and Baal in Diablo 3? Do you want to meet them in Diablo 3?
Seeing how they can bring Diablo back, even though we allready killed him, they shouldn't have any problems with these two if they wish to include them in the game. I am torn. Diablo wouldn't feel the same without them, but I guess it would be kind of repetitive with them.

Mephisto and Baal
29-06-2008, 18:05 #2
Re: Mephisto and Baal
I'd like to meet them, atleast Mephisto, he's always been my favourite bad guy, but who knows? I guess they'll be replaced as act bosses by Azmodan and Belial.

Re: Mephisto and Baal
Mephisto has to be in....who else am I going to kill until the end of time for drops until Act 5 is added and we have pindleskin :P

Re: Mephisto and Baal
Baal is easy. His stone was never actually destroyed, unless the Worldstone counts (which, for the sake of bringing him back, it doesn't have to).
Meph is a little bit more difficult. Not only was he killed, but his stone was smashed. However, if they can find a viable way to bring Diablo back then Meph would work as well, and likely be back by default.

Re: Mephisto and Baal
Diablo without Diablo isn't Diablo. Diablo without Mephisto IS Diablo.
IMO, new game means new act Bosses. Since Meph can't really change, it'd be boring. The whole point is waiting and fighting your way to see the bigass Boss.

Re: Mephisto and Baal
Id prefer to see Azmodan and Belial, if they are still in existence. Ambitious Lesser Evils given a chance to shine while Diablo is gaining his strength to rise again.
I won't complain if we see Mephisto and Baal again, but ive done enough runs on those 2 guys, id like to farm someone different this time around
05-07-2008, 08:21 #8
Re: Mephisto and Baal
I prefer to see the lesser evils than Diablo again. Come on guys how many times do we have to kill him to actually get rid of him. It's becoming a pointless thing to do if he comes back again...

05-07-2008, 10:03 #10
Re: Mephisto and Baal
Well unless they wanna keep the franchise going forever they have to come up with a way to get rid of him or make it impossible to access sanctuary. Mind u its not a problem for me if they keep making diablo games until i get old

Under Eye Fill in - West Orange, NJ
Let me just say that with one Fill in of silikon...
- 4 Nov 2012
Let me just say that with one Fill in of silikon 1000 under my eyes, Dr joseph pretty much fixed an entire situation that was bothering me for years and all for a great cost. I was always bothered since I was a teenager of the appearance of my eye under bags and the droopy look I had. I had originally sat down with Dr Joseph a year ago and we both discussed surgery options that would help my situation. I was very interested in the surgery until Dr Joseph recommended that I save a little money and trust that silikon 1000 would do the job. I trusted in what Dr Joseph had suggested and I am more than pleased with the results. The procedure was absolutely painless, quick and left me with not one spec of bruising or any marks. I cant believe how well this stuff works and just how good Dr Joseph is with understanding the face. To top everything off I must mention how Dr Joseph was the kindest, honest, and most helpful Dr I have yet consulted with. I recommend His honest and precise services to anyone
Great review?
I found this Dr on the internet.

HEy everyone, I have a scenario that I've been seeing alot lately, and its been killing me everytime..
The river card brings me my nut flush, but at the same time it pairs the board. I have a hard time putting people on hidden sets anyway, b/c when I bet out, they are just calling me down the whole way which makes me think they are drawing too... But even when the board pairs, I still can't come to grips that I am beat, and I end up re-raising until my double clicking finger starts bleeding.
I know the easy answer is to just call the river, but any other advice for this?

Yeah its annoying to be in that position. Its slightly worst when you throw a huge bet in having already made your nuts flush on teh trun to see the board paired on the river!
Do you have some specific hand examples, might make things a little easier.

If you're on a table that has a 4-bet cap, then I'd cap it here and pay off the FH. If you're at a table that allows unlimited raises heads up, then at SOME point you have to just call, probably after getting raised two or maybe three times.
I'm CDO. It's like OCD, but everying is in order just like it should be.

I know it sucks to see the board pair up n the river, but I just made the nut flush. I would have to raise call. One I have a live hand that only a FH or quads can beat on that board. The likelyhood of someone having either hand is slim. If I raise there and I get reraised, then I would worry about those two hands and just call. I would never be able to not raise on the river, because then I am not getting the maximum value for my hand. Yes when the unthinkable happens and my opponent has one of those hands and I lose it sucks, but it is far more likely that they will not. The only reason I would check there is if I KNEW my opponent would raise and I had him beat, so I wanted to check raise him.

Your gonna win most of the time. Really wouldnt worry about it honestly.

river player: i bet, if he raises, then i 3-bet, if he 4-bets, thats when i just call.
you should only go over 4 bets if u have the nuts

This thing is tailor made for the RPF. Even has LED lights in the grip!
I've been thinking about picking up one of the newer and nicer blank firing replicas. Might have to give some thought to creating a grip like this.
Anybody thinking of doing a run of resin guns with an LED kit?

When the sure-to-be-contentious races get fully underway for 33 Senate seats, 38 state and territorial governorships, and all 435 seats in the United States House of Representatives later this year, political advertising will probably feel inescapable. Signs, T-shirts, and door knockers will be out in full force. Robocalls are sure to come early and often. Whatever creative way politicians can find to get their names into the brains of those who will head to the polls on Nov. 4 will be used.
However, there will be at least one safe zone on the media landscape that folks can hide from the onslaught: public television and radio. The US Court of Appeals in San Francisco has ruled that public radio and TV stations cannot run ads from political candidates and corporations.Continue reading...

what's in a name
Posted by Mark J. Miller on October 10, 2013 07:12 PM
Plenty of people have been trying to get the NFL's Washington Redskins to change their name for decades, but team owner Daniel Snyder delivered what all should regard as a pretty sound statement denying such a request.
In the last few days, "NFL officials agreed to meet with the Oneida Indian Nation," which had purchased radio ads in the team's market urging Snyder to drop the name, the Washington Post reports. Even President Obama threw his voice into the mix, noting that he'd consider changing the name if he were the owner. The Oneida staged a protest Monday in Washington and the National Congress of American Indians released a poster that showed baseball hats featuring racist team names such as the "New York Jews" and "San Francisco Chinamen."Continue reading...

CBS and Time Warner Cable have been engaged in a long-running spat over transmission costs, resulting in a month-long CBS blackout in three major cable markets, New York, Los Angeles and Dallas. Finally, and just in time for the start of the NFL season, the broadcaster and cable company have reached a deal, and it looks as if CBS is the victor.
According to Bloomberg, TWC will pay "a significant increase for the right to transmit CBS signals, though still below $2 per subscriber per month."
"CBS is the winner," said cable and telecommunications analyst Craig Moffett of Moffett Research, according to Reuters. "Content owners always win these negotiations, it's just a matter of how much they won. They have all the leverage. Consumers don't get mad and trade in their channel when these fights drag on. They go looking for a different satellite or telephone company." CBS was coming from a particular position of power since it is currently the top-rated network on TV.Continue reading...

T-Mobile has been trying to find a dancing partner for some time now. Back in 2011, it came close to finding the perfect mate when it flirted with being bought by AT&T for $39 million only to have the whole thing shot down.
But things went their way Tuesday when the U.S. Department of Justice and the FCC approved a merger between Deutsche Telekom's T-Mobile and MetroPCS, making the twosome into the fourth-largest wireless carrier in the States and ready to do battle with AT&T and Verizon Wireless, Nasdaq.com reports.
Fourth largest may sound pretty big, but its 42 million subscribers are about half of what each of the Big Two have, according to the Philadelphia Inquirer.Continue reading...

tech in the spotlight
Posted by Mark J. Miller on February 7, 2013 05:18 PM
In late January, executives at telecom companies AT&T, T-Mobile, Verizon Wireless, Intel and Qualcomm signed a letter asking the Federal Communications Commission to not go through with eventually handing out a good chunk of unlicensed airwaves to the public — a move that would provide free WiFi for many Americans and allow tech innovators to create new products, according to The Washington Post.
Perhaps these companies would like to remind the debt-ridden federal government that it could make a lot of money by selling off those airwaves instead.
However, companies like Google and Microsoft would like WiFi to open up, the Post notes — a move that would not only spur innovation, they contend, and also allow their web-enabled businesses to likely expand along with the technology.
The last time the FCC opened up some unlicensed airwaves was in 1985. As a result, consumers gained garage-door openers, baby monitors, wireless stage microphones, and the current WiFi network.Continue reading...

#NVSen Update: Heller Up 3 Points, Larry Sabato Moves Race to leans (R), and Berkley Helped Steer $20 Million to Failed Solar Plant in Las Vegas
The Las Vegas Review-Journal reports that a new poll has Senator Dean Heller leading embattled Congresswoman Shelley Berkley 45 percent to 42 percent. The survey also showed Republican U.S. Sen. Dean Heller edging out Democratic Senate challenger U.S. Rep. Shelley Berkley 45 percent to 42 percent. … Heller was far more popular than Berkley, according to the survey, with more people not liking the Las Vegas-area congresswoman than liking her. Berkley's favorable/unfavorable ratings were 37/45 percent. Heller's favorable/unfavorable ratings were 48/30 percent.
- Meanwhile, Politico's Morning Score reports that Larry Sabato at the UVA Center for Politics has moved the race from tossup to lean Republican. The recent ethics investigation into Nevada Democratic Senate candidate Shelley Berkley has changed the state's Senate race from a toss-up to lean Republican, according to Larry Sabato and Kyle Kondik at the University of Virginia Center for Politics.
- Finally, the NRSC reminded voters that it embattled Congresswoman Shelley Berkley helped steered $20 million to a failed solar plant in Las Vegas. American taxpayers are seeing $20 million more of their money washed down the tube via the Obama-Berkley stimulus plan, as an Amonix solar energy plant in North Las Vegas – which has received stimulus dollars – closed their doors after being open for just 14 months. … "It's another day and another painful reminder for Nevada taxpayers that Shelley Berkley and Barack Obama have spent the last three years wasting their hard earned money on failed programs," said National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) RSC Spokesman Jahan Wilcox.

Nominees for the 63rd annual Primetime Emmy Awards were announced this week and the auto industry is accounted for with three nominations in the "Outstanding Commercial" category. Chrysler, Nissan, and Subaru all received nods for their respective ad spots. Old Spice, American Express, and McDonalds rounded out the nominations for the category.
Chrysler's "Imported from Detroit" two-minute commercial first aired during this year's Super Bowl. The commercial showcases the city of Detroit. Adding to the edge Chrysler is looking to capture, Detroit native and rapper Eminem steps out of the new Chrysler 200 endorsing the vehicle while his music plays in the background.
Nissan is represented with a 60-second spot showing a polar bear walking through modern day suburbia. In the commercial, the polar bear begins to notice its arctic habitat is melting away (presumably because of global warming). Nissan ends the ad with an owner of the automaker's electric vehicle, the Leaf, coming face-to-face with the giant bear as it sneaks up from in front of the car. The bear stands up on its back legs and wraps its arms around the tense owner, giving him a hug for caring about the environment.
The third nominated automaker is Subaru with its 30-second spot about a baby driver. A father hands the keys of his Subaru over to his daughter, who is driving by herself for the first time. The father sees his daughter as though she is still a young child but when the daughter talks, she is portrayed as the teenager she is. The father says the reason he bought a Subaru was so his daughter would be safe on the road.
The winner for outstanding commercial will be announced with the rest of the Emmy Award winners when it airs on September 18. Which commercial was your favorite? Tell us about it below in the comment section.

Full text is not hosted in this archive but may be available via the Official URL, or by requesting a copy from the corresponding author.
In this article, we describe a simple one-pot rapid synthesis route to produce uniform silver nanoparticles by thermal reduction of AgNO3 using oleylamine as reducing and capping agent. To enhance the dispersal ability of as-synthesized hydrophobic silver nanoparticles in water, while maintaining their unique properties, a facile phase transfer mechanism has been developed using biocompatible block co-polymer pluronic F-127. Formation of silver nanoparticles is confirmed by X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and UV–vis spectroscopy. Hydrodynamic size and its distribution are obtained from dynamic light scattering (DLS). Hydrodynamic size and size distribution of as-synthesized and phase transferred silver nanoparticles are 8.2 ± 1.5 nm (σ = 18.3%) and 31.1 ± 4.5 nm (σ = 14.5%), respectively. Antimicrobial activities of hydrophilic silver nanoparticles is tested against two Gram positive (Bacillus megaterium and Staphylococcus aureus), and three Gram negative (Escherichia coli, Proteus vulgaris and Shigella sonnei) bacteria. Minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) values obtained in the present study for the tested microorganisms are found much better than those reported for commercially available antibacterial agents.

Seahawks save the Pro Bowl
But if the future of the Pro Bowl is doomed, don't blame the six Seahawks that represented the NFC on Sunday in Hawaii.
Rookie phenomenon Russell Wilson continued to prove that he can excel at any level. Whether it's a preseason game, a postseason game on the road, an all-star game in paradise or a flag football game at the Boys & Girls Club in Tacoma, Wilson comes to play. He completed eight of his 10 passes – three for touchdowns – and had the highest QB rating in a game that featured Peyton Manning, Drew Brees and Eli Manning.
He also had the most exciting play of the day, peeling away from a sure J.J. Watt sack to find fellow rookie Doug Martin for a touchdown. He did us all proud and even managed his signature "Go Hawks" in his postgame interview. Man, I love that kid!
Safety Earl Thomas had an interception and the kind of hit on Broncos receiver Demaryius Thomas that NFL commissioner Roger Goodell was looking for in this game. The pansy-turned-tough-guy-commish who favored touch football all season long was suddenly blood thirsty before this year's all-star game and warned the participants they better forget he ever uttered the phrase "defenseless receiver" if they want to keep their game alive. Earl Thomas was happy to oblige and flew around the field like he always does.
Leon Washington returned four kickoffs for 167 yards, including a 92-yarder that electrified the laid back crowd in Honolulu. He also returned four punts for 18 yards and outshined his AFC rival, Josh Cribbs, the co-owner of Washington's NFL-record eight kickoff returns for touchdowns.
Marshawn Lynch had just 21 yards rushing but that led all running backs in a pass happy game that was 75 percent passing. He had one "Beast Mode" run for 12 yards, dragging five tacklers along for the ride.
Judging the offensive-line play in the game was difficult, but center Max Unger and tackle Russell Okung played hard every snap.
Perhaps I had a biased eye on this game, but it looked to me like the six Seahawks in this game all played for keeps and did the game proud.
Roger Goodell – suddenly a tough guy?
Goodell warned players from both sides that if they didn't play harder this year, the game may go away for good. Last year's game was a joke. The offensive and defensive linemen embraced each other on every play and "hugged it out" until the music stopped. It looked like a slow dance at Anna McKinney Jr. high (my alma mater).
I agree with the commish on this one even though I disagree with every other word that comes out of his mouth when it comes to hitting and penalties during the regular season. No one wants to watch a walk-through. It's not like the NBA All-Star game where you can get away with dogging it on defense. It's much more obvious in football and the fans are starting to voice their displeasure.
However, this brings up an interesting point about the commish. He's not on the humanitarian mission he would lead us all to believe. It's about money, whether that means revenue or the NFL's image in this big concussion lawsuit. If the Pro Bowl game goes downhill, so do the television ratings that lead to big network checks.
Makes you wonder what he would say about hits to the head and defenseless receiver penalties if NFL fans turned against the kinder, gentler game that Goodell now promotes. I've always thought that it's the big hits and physical nature of football that NFL fans love more than long bombs and 500-yard passing games. I think the fans like 500-yard passing games as long as the threat of someone getting their head taken off to accomplish that still exists.
If too many penalties and fines for big hits started turning people away from the NFL and revenue started to suffer because of it, you'd see Goodell morph into Vince McMahon so fast your head would spin. Roger would shed that Park Avenue suit for a cut off T-shirt and a barbed-wire tattoo and take to shotgunning beers in the parking lot before he'd let that happen.
It's about the money, Roger – grow up!
But it may be doomed anyway
Here's the fundamental problem with the Pro Bowl: Peyton Manning, the AFC starting quarterback, picks up a $2 million check every other week in Denver. Julius Peppers, a starting defensive end for the NFC, picks up a $1 million check in Chicago every other week.
Why would either of those players play their hardest, risking injury, in order to pick up a $50,000 check if they win and a $25,000 check if they lose?
This year's ratings may tell that story. Although it was still a high scoring affair, there were some incidents of decent effort and some entertaining plays. Especially from our six beloved Seahawks.

Ok so yea its been a while since I've blogged and most of my old blogs were there simply because I was bored dead at work or some such thing. However now I have to compile a series of academic articles on "Otaku-ism" as it is perceived in the Western world and discuss why its so attractive as a lifestyle. Yay for tertiary study!
Wish me luck, here goes nothing followed by a potential flame thread.
I love this gif ^
Alright so...lets clear out some ground rules here before any of you try cut my nuts off...I will continue this blog fully aware of the different types of Otaku, the different connotations of Otaku and the different people claiming to be Otaku. I will refer to "Otaku" purely as "Anime Otaku" as it is Westernised as...Please dont waste time commenting on how I'm horribly wrong T_T
Onwards then:
Honestly from an outside point of view, it would simply be impossible to understand why people like myself get so tied in with Otaku life. What on Earth would make me willingly give up a significant portion of my life, my money and my time simply to watch and appreciate anime? I mean, I'd have to be completely insane right? They're just cartoons!
Honestly, in my personal opinion (backed by hordes of articles all over the net) I can honestly say that "just cartoons" is a misconception. If they were just cartoons then I would still be wasting my money each friday night getting boozed in town and watching amateur metal bands.
It's the characters. Whether you're a light hearted anime fan who watches Naruto, Bleach, One piece, DBZ etc (which by the way I looooathe) or a die hard anime fan who stays up all night waiting for that damned subber to release the newest episode already (T_T) you will understand that it is the characters that draw you in.
You can become attached to them so easily, it might be you relate to them, it might be you aspire to be them, or it might be you would love someone just like that in your life.
Most anime will have well thought out characters that are attractive in some way or another to someone and honestly try as you might you find yourself attached to that character...and when he/she dies or finds themselves in a predicament you start getting riled up. You want nothing more than that character to succeed and return to their pedestal that you placed them on.
Anime fans out there are nodding while everyone else is thinking: "Holy hell! Someone let a crazy onto the NZG blogging site!"
Like I said, its impossible to understand so I'll only try and explain it and you can form your own opinions.
Onwards though, that only describes ONE reason of liking anime, regardless if it seems to be the most common. It doesnt describe why people want to live the life of Otaku as it is perceived.
Lemme clear something up here, I have a perfectly normal social life, great mates, lots of inebriated times and plenty of events to take part in outside of the 4 small walls of my room.
Please take into account that gamers and otaku and the like are no longer the same as they were perceived 10 years ago...we're just normal people with odd addictions :D
Though there are those that waver more to the extreme...so I have to count them in too...regrettably.
What makes our lives so attractive as Otaku is that we put a huge portion of our time towards our hobby. Everyone has their own hobby, but ours involves in depth characters and stories (most of the time). So when some people go to sleep thinking about where the next awesome fishing spot will be, we hit the sack thinking about how Emiya is going to save himself using just a steel pole again or whether Ein/Elen is going to be good and stay good for once.
We live a life devoted to the stories that shape our lives, regardless if they are "real" or not. Each character we attach ourselves too changes us in some way or another. Might I also point out that becoming "attached" to a character happens without you knowing it more often than not. This feeling is exactly what spurred me to write my article for my tertiary study as once you're caught on one character you cant let it go.
We live a life where we imagine another world in our minds, we are mostly all realists (again some people are not) and most of us are intelligent save for the filthy weeaboos out there. We just have somewhere we can go when we need to relax...its a wonderful world full of happy faces and gigantic eye balls with like 50 sources of light shining into them. Again this is nothing new, everyone has their own way of relaxing and getting away from life (again look to fisherman...they just forget everything and go stand balls deep in water for hours on end).
It is this combination of a virtual reality, a series of well thought out characters and story lines to make you drool that catches us. Once you're in this world, it is supremely difficult to leave. In my opinion it is an addiction and one that cant easily be cured and in all honesty why the hell would I want to cure it?
Goddamnit, this is way longer than I had hoped and I didnt answer anything properly...Oh well, it was just a thought that popped in my head and needed to be let loose. Please comment honestly as I would love to know thoughts from both Otaku and non-Otaku as it would help my article a hell of a lot.
Cheers guys and girls

Key Trends in the Future of Medicine: E-Patients, Communication and Technology
At the end of the 19th century, French artists were hired by a toy or cigarette manufacturer to create a series of postcards which would feature the future. Most of the postcards described ordinary processes and activities, but not medicine or healthcare. There might be only one example when they tried to predict the use of a microscope and the work of microbiologists:

Take the college student survey to share your opinions about your school and be entered into a $1,000 scholarship!
Reload the page and try again.
C+ A+F Drug Safety: Drinking basically dominates the social scene. There aren't really other alternatives to it. It's been pretty difficult to find other things to do on the weekends, especially since the PVTA bus system doesn't get you anywhere efficiently. I guess if you have a car, you can get places.On the other hands, drugs are not as visible here. Of course, it exists, but drinking really dominates here. In the 5 college consortium, Hampshire is known for their drug scene.
A+ A+F Majors: At Amherst College, there are no prerequisites or application processes for gaining access to a particular program of study. Once matriculated, the open-curriculum allows students may choose courses from every program without any restriction or general education requirements.
B A+F Campus Strictness: Due no small part to freshman conduct during orientation, new alcohol policies have been implemented that severely restrict public consumption. Furthermore, the Amherst College police are taking a more proactive role in curtailing underage drinking. There are not significant sanctions for being caught, but the stricter enforcement has put a damper on an already dismal party scene.
A A+F Diversity: Amherst College does a phenomenal job at assembling a diverse freshman class each year. In fact, Amherst has the highest percentage of Pell grant recipients of any elite institution. The admissions process is not only need-blind, but actually prefers students from disadvantaged socioeconomic backgrounds. Amherst active alumni and vast financial resources allow this generosity. However, there are some issues with diversity that the institution should address. Students are quite active in shaping life at the college and are quick to point out ways to improve it. Recently, there has been increased focus on the effects of athletics on the overall student body. There is certainly a divide between athletes and the other students that is apparent in most settings here.
A A+F Facilities: The academics are phenomenal and the workload is quite demanding. It can be difficult to find free time that is not detrimental to my studies, but I still manage to go out almost every weekend. I do enjoy the social scene, but I am not sure what most students do on a given night (aside from studying / writing). I spend most weeknights finishing up class readings and attending weekly club meetings. There are always upcoming talks and panels on all sorts of fascinating topics, but the workload does not allow for much indulgence. Nonetheless, the party scene leaves something to be desired. The "social dorms" are in a suite-style setup and often host most large social gatherings. Typically, there is alcohol and dance music playing with waaaay too many people packed into a common room. There are probably three times as many people as the Fire Marshal would permit.
A A+F Facilities: I visited a number of Ivies and top LACs. Amherst College's great facilities were critical in convincing me that I'd love it here.
B A+F Weather: There can be some large snowfall, but it's not much of a problem. All the walkways are kept clear and staff lays down salt whenever snow is expected.The first couple weeks of the academic year are on the warm side, so a fan is a good idea.
A- A+F Guys & Girls: Many people dress sporty. When they're not, they're still decently dressed.
A- A+F Computers: The network speed and reliability is top notch, all buildings have wireless connections although there are occasionally spots that are not covered. Computer labs are readily available and, due to the small size of the school, can house a respectively large number of students.Printing is expensive but effective and efficient.
A A+F Weather: It's northeast weather, so it's cold in the winter and humid in the summer. But the school shovels the walkways so everything is always accesible.
A A+F Transportation: No need for a car, campus is pretty small. The city's transportation is free if you have your ID card.
A- A+F Computers: Computers are everywhere! It gets a little crowded in the main library at times so you have to know where else to go though.
A A+F Scholarships: Don't expect to get a certain amount of financial aid just because your parents annual income falls into a certain category, there are many other variables.
A+ A+F Scholarships: The scholarships are awarded on a need basis, so if your family demonstrates an economic need, the school will provide as much as your family cannot. There are no merit-based scholarships.
A+ A+F Computers: They have Macs and PCs, and a decent number of both. You will have a difficult time finding a public computer during finals week or in the evenings when people are doing their homework in the library, though.
B+ A+F Campus Dining: There are three options for on-campus food: the cafeteria, where food is free (granted you are on the school meal plan), and two cafes: one in a library and the other in the campus center. The variety of food in the cafeteria gets old after a month, i.e., they have about a month's worth of variety. They have vegan, vegetarian, and gluten-free options, but those are generally sparse. Many students say the food isn't so good, but that is pretty much the culture of Amherst College when it comes to our appreciation of cafeteria food. I do not think it is bad, especially since it is all you can eat.
B+ A+F Transportation: It is easy to get a ride to the airport, whether it be from shuttle or taxi services or a ride from a friend. The PVTA bus service covers the entire 5 college area and the cities of Amherst and Northampton, which is very convenient.
C+ A+F Drug Safety: Adderall is the drug of choice for academics and even the social scene. Marijuana is about as standard as any school you would imagine
A A+F Computers: We have plenty of computers--many PC desktops and infinitely more iMacs. They were very recently updated, and once you log in they respond really quickly and the wifi is great. Plenty of room to work wherever you go too. IT also has many quick computer stations around the dining hall, campus center, registrar's office and financial aid office so you can quickly check something anywhere you are.
A- A+F Computers: The computers are very accessible in the library and are of high quality. They are all connected to wifi. There are also multiple computers around campus that are student-accessible as well.
A A+F Campus Strictness: Usually if you are caught for underage drinking you just have to speak with the dean but it is not a serious offense. The campus police are just generally looking out for disruptive people and aren't trying to breakup the fun.
A- A+F Off-Campus Dining: There are a lot of restaurants in the town of Amherst and tons of delivery places for those late night hunger pangs. The restaurants in town are very accessible and there is a pretty large variety of food for such a small town.
D A+F Off-Campus Housing: 98% of Amherst students live on-campus. Off-campus housing exists, but it's usually for students with special conditions or situations. It's available, but usually not worth it. Practically everyone just lives in dorms.
B+ A+F Transportation: Pretty much everywhere in town is walkable. Unfortunately, you'll need to take a bus to get anywhere else, and the buses are, although free, very slow. Having a car helps but is not necessary.
A- A+F Scholarships: Amherst is a need-blind, full-need institution. I've heard good things from friends about their financial aid, and pretty much everyone is at least satisfied, but it's important to note that the college gives you what you need -- usually no less, and definitely no more. It's still a significant financial burden, but they give out enough aid that anyone CAN pay.

Students usually don't choose Amherst because of its academic reputation, although a sound reputation is a must when the competing schools are Harvard and Williams. Rather, students come here because of the promise of experiencing an eclectic array of stimulating peers, professors, classes, and activities. Some become disillusioned, not finding their niche within the abundance of opportunities and freedom. Some succeed in familiarizing themselves with the ways of this place, find that they're having the time of their life midway through college and become depressed that this whole thing is going to end soon. Chronologically speaking and with clear generalization, freshman year can go by in a rush, with everyone immersed in the whole college experience with their freshmen friends and classmates. Sophomore year can be the most challenging, since a lot of people go through "sophomore slump"—a state of mild or not-so-mild depression caused by the sad fact that all their freshman friends suddenly are not living in the same dorm but are now in far corners of campus. Also, many sophomore students are conflicted by the sudden need to decide on a major and to get serious about their lives. Junior and senior years are usually better and calmer, since most students have settled into a chosen major and formed a group of close friends across distant campus dorms. Upperclassmen, then, can be free to concentrate on studying and having fun.
The key to living here is perhaps keeping yourself open and receptive to new and unfamiliar experiences, opinions, and values. You'll gain a lot more if you communicate openly with that odd-looking and opinionated girl from Dallas or that too-cool-for-school-looking guy from Philly, rather than choosing to be repulsed by Amherst's oddities. A place like Amherst, with so many accomplished and bright people threading its grounds, is bound to have more oddities than the average university. Even though few people come to Amherst College for the sole purpose of meeting new people, learning from everyone, exploring themselves and so on, most students do admit, however reluctantly, that Amherst is both fun and a unique learning and growing experience that can be found nowhere else.
