Student Body:
I love getting along with people who share goals.
Student Body:
I take online classes mostly, so I haven't met many of my classmates, however the academic discussions I have had online have been very productive. Also in my face to face class the student body was very helpful and supportive, always willing to discuss something or help out. I would say alot of the students are returning/non-traditional students, so we have alot in common with juggling work/school.
Student Body:
I see a lot of different age groups where I go to. Many people that I have classes are all different race and ages. Some have many things going on in their lives while trying to squeeze school in. No matter what their situation is, they are trying hard to succeed.
Student Body:
Everyone Is Equal – My school mostly consists of people with part-time jobs and/or families. We have an especially high percentage of displaced workers due to the economy. Most range from ages 40-60. Most students are not just students. Meaning, they play many roles including, student, parent, worker, etc. Everyone is very friendly, but most everyones main goal is to get their education so they can move on in life with their new career and be successful, so making friends is not a top priority for most.
Student Body:
Diversity Driven – Mid-State Technical College offers a great diversity program and they have a wide range of students from African American, Hmong, American Indians, Caucasion and many others. They also share cultural experiences through the diversity programs that they offer.

Thought I might respond to Mr. Dick Downey's Oct. 19 spin piece with some spin of my own. Apparently, Mr. Downey would like us to believe that unfettered capitalism will raise all boats. This premise ignores certain realities.
Corporations have no long-term commitment to the health and well-being of communities, and shale gas extraction enterprises are by their very nature just visitors. When gas fields are fully tapped, the drill rigs migrate and the majority of jobs go with them.
"People in business know New York's problems. They are high taxes, high energy costs and over-regulation. Lower these, and entrepreneurs will take care of themselves," says Mr. Downey. If, as I suspect, states with low taxes and less regulation than New York have achieved these results by sacrificing social safety nets and turning a blind eye to environmental degradation, then it is not that New York overtaxes and overregulates, but that other states are undertaxing and underregulating. These states are operating at a lower standard and should not be admired for it.
I agree with Mr. Downey that the economic and regulatory playing field is not level. The playing field will never be level as long as there are multiple levels of government, each with disparate resources and great latitude to determine the extent of citizen services and protections.
The federal government, which could level the playing field by requiring uniform standards and safeguards, is under pressure to transfer regulatory authority to the states. This is particularly true in the case of oversight of shale gas extraction activities. The "frackers" want it that way, as states have proven much more tolerant of reckless operations and willing to ignore the plight of citizens adversely affected by gas extraction. Google "Louis Meeks" and read his story.

Let's have some love for the This American Life zombie fic too!
oscar says:
If you'd like to hear Peter Sagal actually saying "braains," here's the "Not my Job" segment they did with George Romero (whose zombies never said that, naturally): http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=114303424
lectroid says:
Absolutely correct, Oscar! Romero's zombies were never picky about which parts they wanted to eat.
If I have it right, zombies moaning 'brains' was actually pioneered in 'Return of the Living Dead', a punk/new wave-era satire written by the late, great Dan O'Bannon.
It's also the source of one of the best lines of dialogue in any movie, ever. "Send more cops!"
Brendonius says:
The worst is definitely Michael Feldman's Whad'Ya Know? That show is total garbage, like a low budget/less funny (if possible) Tonight Show

What do you mean? Certainly there are much worse shows on NPR? I'd hope that "…this is Marketplace from American Public Media…" or Diane Rehm would have their chewy gray matter devoured before Carl Kasell.
I, for one, welcome our new sarcastic "Wait, Wait" overlords…
JonStewartMill says:
I actually kind of like "Wait Wait", except when P.J. O'Rourke is a panelist. Then I can't change the station fast enough.

Toyota Land Cruiser Prices Paid and Buying Experience
Their is no real comparison that will hold over time between the TLC and the Commander. I will soon be in the process of buying a used LX 470 (Lexus version of the TLC) for the same money that I could buy any number of new SUV's for - I simply can not afford a new 470. When all things are considered, particularly safety and reliability, as well as bells and whistles, The used 470 wins out. The used 470 seems a far better choice than any of the new ones for the same money.
That being said, if you have already bought the Commander I wish you the very best with it and please keep us informed - I would live to see an American vehicle make a come back after all of these years.
Best, Phil
jclansburgh Posts: 1I'm looking at buying a 99 Land Cruiser with 89,000 miles on it for $14K - is this a good deal. I've had it checked out and it's in good condition mechanically, some minor bumps and bruises cosmetically, but I think it will be dependable for years to come. Any thoughts or advice?? Thanks.
Purchased a TLC two months ago for a deep discount...$10K off sticker....but now I know why...this is the vehicle that "time forgot"...my God for a $54K "luxury" SUV the thing has less and more antiquated features than my wife's Sienna van...for example you can't turn on all the interior lights at the same time...isn't this a basic feature? dependability, comfort and solid build - yes but not much more. Maybe they are just trying to unload the remaing production year or years of this dinosaur and move on to something more 1990's ish.
It's funny that you don't waste any time in pointing out the shortcomings of your $54,000- I certainly wouldn't turn my head up at a Land Cruiser, for me in my opinion the closest thing that I could find to one with the same options,bulk solid ride a comparable fit and finish at a much lower price was the Jeep Commander. I have to tell you I really loved driving this vehicle on my 4 day jaunt to Detroit. I am still holding out to purchase a Overland model. But they aren't discounting them right now as much as I would like. One last thing your right about the LC there are spy shots on several different sites right now of the upcoming LC.
I always like to be truthful about my experiences...and attempt to keep opinion out of it if I can. On its surface the LC is an icon to the average SUV shopper...great reliability but it comes at a cost of even minimal luxury...you can be blinded by the aura and history of the car when you test drive it but when it sits in your garage the "plastic" shows right through...you can't miss it....get the commander, save the money and drive happy every day.
jamesbass1 Posts: 75Your "attempt to keep opinion out of it" has failed as all I read from your post is nothing but "opinion". I'm not sure what special gizmos you find lacking in the Land Cruiser, but even though I don't own one, this SUV is loaded & has everything I would ever want or need in a vehicle. What's even more important is the build quality & its reliability history, which the Chrysler Jeep brand has never provided...IMHO.
That is quite an opinion you have there. The TLC is a very heavily loaded SUV and in the side by side comparisons with the it has more features/capacity than the Commander. The internal capacity alone dwarfs the Commander. I think the Commander has a place in the panapoly of SUV's, but it is no replacement for the TLC based on the comparisons. It does have a cleaner burning engine and it does cost less; however, Jeep also has one of the worst reliability records in the industry. Still in all, if you like it then I hope it proves to be an excellent vehicle and that Chrysler builds on a promising beginning.
If you sense opinion then I apologize that opinion has been inserted. Having said this allow me to count the ways this $63K list SUV is lacking in "luxury" features that I see on other vehicles in the same class (even excluding the Jeep Commander).....observation only, no opinion.....
No memory seat (either side)
No power fold in mirrors (this is a large vehicle)
No ability to control all interior lighting by driver
No rain sensing or mist feature to wipers
No heated seat back/lumbar
No heat vent in third row seats
No heated rear seats
No ability to control rear temperature by driver
No courtesy floor lighting (in fact general interior lighting is poor, sorry for the opinion here)
No self leveling head lights (no biggie)
No outside rear view mirrow dimming feature
If you do not consider these shortcomings for $63K list vehicle that is OK too.
vavavavolvo Posts: 111Three points:
First, I agree with the host's statement above.
Second, the statement about being "blinded by the aura and history of the car..." suggests that more deliberation and time testing the car may have been of benefit. The aura and history of this vehicle is all about ruggedness and reliability, not creature comforts and gadgets, although it certainly has a generous share of those things. This is a vehicle designed to crawl out of the mud, not prance around Palm Beach. Understanding its DNA should be enlightening, not blinding. I think most people on this forum are here because we value and like these vehicles.
Finally, it sounds like you are looking for something different from what this vehicle offers. I was once in the same situation and know exactly how you feel. It's awful! You got this car at a great price. I would strongly urge you to consider what car you would be happy with and trade or sell the TLC for that one...ASAP. Life is too short to be this displeased with the car in your garage. When I traded my car for the one I really wanted my depression and remorse --related to cars anyway--disappeared and hasn't returned.
(Ironically, that was when I traded for a TLC).
Good luck, I sincerely hope you can soon have a car you like and spend time on another forum singing its praises.
Agreed that more time would have been of benefit...also full disclosure and a comprehensive explanation by the dealer and a brochure would have been nice too, but in the final analysis it is my responsibility to ensure that the goods are as promised and delivered...apparently in this discipline I performed poorly.
It may sound like I was looking for something different but I don't believe that to be the case...or perhaps I am just too idealistic to believe that $63K can buy you more than ruggedness and reliability...and likewise in the discipline of expectation of comprehensive value I performed poorly.
Lastly, your thinly veiled suggestion to me to get off the forum because other people on this forum value and like these vehicles is understood and accepted. I would not want to say anything to offend anyone.
Well said everyone on the TLC...i own a 2006 TLC and believe me....if you need anything more than this vehicle has to offer...you are gonna have to purchase a military stealth fighter plane !!!
Mine: Fully loaded with all options included !!!
price: $63,000
plist Posts: 19I bought a 1994 LC 174,995 on it. (Paid 6,200.00). We bought for our son, but guess who drives it and took it over, me. Parked my 2006 honda ridgeline and got my son the small vw turbo thing he wanted. I'm a 42 year old woman that just loves her new rig! Wow I'll never buy new again and I'm already looking for a newer LC to replace my ridgeline!
steelcruiser Posts: 402I've got an '02 with 53K on it. No issues at all, except replacing an '02 sensor. As with most any used vehicle YMMV, but I've got a friend with a '99 and over 100K on the clock. No issues either.
If you've got service history, carfax, etc. then probably should be fine for several more years. Nice to have option is Nav

Jeep Grand Cherokee Start Stall Idle Problems
wendy07 Posts: 4Hi there. My question is why did they agree to pay to fix it? I own same year and model has you with the miles with no warranty. Of course a warranty doesn't do any good without a part. I have been on the phone with Jeep since August 23rd. They are so irritating. They don't want to fix the problem. They want to half way take blame but then not pay up and fix it. It isn't my fault. This is not a inexpensive vehicle. But either way, how can you make a living if you don't have a car that the bank still wants your $700.00 payment. Pissed off.
Thank you for sharing your experience on this forum. I have a 2011 Grand Cherokee Laredo just 2,500 miles out of warranty and having the same hard-starting issues (I have to crank it 5 - 6+ times before it will start - and the last time I drove it almost stalled in traffic.) I took it to my dealer on October 16th, 2013 and they confirmed the cause is a faulty TIPM. They quoted me more than $1,300- parts & labor and wanted a $500 deposit to order the part -but after 3 weeks they still have no idea how long it will take to get it. The folks at the parts counter said there were at least 800 on national backorder.
This is my wife's daily driver and I really can't afford to wait until who knows when. So I carefully removed the TIPM by first disconnecting the negative battery lead under the passenger seat, then disconnecting the power lead in the TIPM itself, and labeling each wiring harness and corresponding socket before disconnecting the unit. It was easy enough, just be gentle. Most of them have lever catch that pivots to release the harness from the socket; one has a conventional slide-pin (red) that a small flat-head screw driver will depress to remove.
I called Alan at AR Speedometer in Tulsa, OK this morning at (918-640-0659) I told him what was happening, and he seemed confident their repair would address the issues. He has a repair offer EBAY with his address. I will be shipping my TIPM to him this afternoon, and will let y'all know how things work out.
That's very encouraging. Mine shipped out this afternoon via UPS for $28.00 plus $12.00 to be packed as a computer part; $40+tax all-in. I went through Alan's EBAY posting & PAYPAL for convenience' sake and taped a copy of the confirmation with a note detailing the symptoms to the unit.
Hopefully he will have it in a few days and be able to cure what ails it.
I'll let y'all know how it works out.
gscm75 Posts: 1Had the same problem with my 2011 GC dealer would not pay fro the $110 visit plus $1300 to replace it ok and it would be 6-8 weeks ( maybe)!!! Wow my GC is just 4 months and 7000mi over warranty. Luckily it still runs so took it home and the following day went to the same dealers Parts Depart (not service depart) and asked for a TIPM and guess what they (Part Depart) had TWO in stock!!!!! I bought one (thinking now should have bought both!!!). Walked over to service depart and sch. To install the next day ($157).
Now in contact with Jeep on getting cost covered (have a case manager)
Has anyone heard anything about the lawsuit? I finally had my battery die yesterday (was at about 1.6 when it should be at a 12). I was/am trying to hold out for the recall. Working on calling area mechanics (I live in Denver) to see what they know. Have an appointment set for next week with a Jeep dealer who told me to a) get a case number (the lady at Jeep told me it helps with the expedition of parts, yeah right). and b) that there were 2000 parts shipped out to warehouses last week.
I REFUSE to pay for this as I just bought this Jeep in August. I am desperate to find a solution. I do have the fortune of having Allan, the mechanic from Oklahoma, coming to Denver this week but even with that option, it's still about a week without a car...
I thought that "left hand not knowing what the right hand is doing" was unique to my dealer, but the more I read about this problem, the more it appears it to be an issue with the whole company. I suppose confusion is what happens when there are so many changes in ownership in such a short period of time.
In order to get the recall process going, we must all call the National Highway Traffic and Safety Administration (I was given this number after speaking with Jeep Customer Service). I called and left a message since it was after hours and the message I received in return is that there is no recall in progress but we can file a complaint.
Please call: 1-888-327-4236, 8-8 eastern M-F and FILE YOUR COMPLAINT ABOUT THE TIPM!
If you live in the Denver area, contact me before tomorrow regarding the repair of your TIPM.
cherokeelover Posts: 1Thanks so much for your helpful post here. Our 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee had the same issues. Dealing with the dealer has been a huge pain, as they wouldn't do their job and charged us huge money. After sending the emails to CEO, our problem got fixed right away. Now we are going to get reimbursement for the money the dealer shouldn't have charged at the very beginning, plus the car rental expenses. We are a one car family, so it has been very inconvenience for us. But feels so much better now. We will just be patient now and hopefully to get our Jeep back ASAP. So just write this response here for all the Jeep owners who has been suffering as we did. And hope everyone got a fair treat from Chrysler.
Thanks again for providing the CEO's email address!
I have just drafted my email to Mr. Manley.
I also recommend that everyone file an official complaint with the National Highway Traffic and Safety Administration. I was told that it doesn't matter the amount of complaints they get however, I feel it will make an impact if we do.
888-327-4236 8-8 M-F Eastern Standard Time or go to safercar.gov to file a complaint.
I will report back in about a week as my TIPM will be repaired and returned. I will also post a video on YouTube showing the removal and install of the TIPM for those who want to do it. It really is quite easy but you do need an extra set of hands.
Here is another story on a Class Action suit underway.
link title
Detroit, MI: Further to reports of alleged defects with the Chrysler Totally Integrated Power Module (TIPM) in 2011-2012 Jeep Grand Cherokees and Dodge Durangos and Dodge Grand Caravans, investigations are underway to determine if Chrysler knew about the defect and failed to warn consumers.
The alleged defective Chrysler TIPMs can cause numerous electrical problems and serious safety risks. Problems range from difficulty starting the vehicles to stalling to fuel pumps not shutting off. Additional the affected vehicles may experience random activation of the built in alarm systems, windshield wipers or horns. The alleged defective TIPMs are so common that the replacement parts are backordered for weeks.
I am pleased to report the TIPM I sent to AR Speedometer in Tulsa, OK on November 4th has been repaired and returned, arriving in day's mail.
I carefully re-connected the wiring harnesses to the sockets as labeled them, bolted in the battery lead, and re-connected the battery under the passenger seat. Then I got in the driver's seat, pressed the brake pedal, said a short prayer for deliverance... and it started just fine!
I just came back from a short ride after it had been sitting idle for the past 8 days, and all systems appear to be operating normally again.
Thanks again to Blakeburch and everyone else who posted in this forum to share their experience - I doubt I would have found this solution without it. Much appreciated.
I'll circle back in two weeks or so.
Just a note to say that I put my repaired TIPM in last night and my 2011 JGC is working just fine! No starting issues whatsoever (and I tested it! Many times!), no running fuel pump. And it was SUPER easy! I will try to make a video of removal and replacement this weekend but honestly, if you search for the steps and following them with patience and care, it's not hard at all. I recommend using 2 people, though!
If you want information on how to get your's repaired (~$300 including shipping) reply to me.
First, contact Allen at arspeedometer, 918-640-0659 to get info on getting your part to him for repair or visit: http://www.arspeedometer.com/TIPM-REPAIR---MISC.html and scroll all the way to the bottom to see the cost/order for the TIPM repair.
Second, park your car in a safe location.
Third, follow the steps listed for removal and then replacement of your TIPM:
Tools needed.
1) 13mm socket with a ratchet.
1) 10mm wrench.
1) Small tip flathead screwdriver.
1) Watch with a second hand or a stopwatch.
1) Extra pair of hands.
#1. Remove the negative battery cable found underneath passenger seat.
#2. Open the lid of the tipm.
#3. Remove the lead to the tipm (small nut on lefthand side)
#4. Remove tipm pop in clips on top that secure tipm to the jeep. DO SO CAREFULLY - use a flat head to release all of the clips GENTLY.
#5. Carefully unplug all of the connections on the bottom of the tipm.(These have gray rotating clips that attached to the plug).They are all color coded/idiot proof to reinstall. There is a small black release in the center push them in with the screw driver then rotate the gray clip downward to release.
#6. Remove the old tipm.
***It helps so much to have one person stand in front of the jeep holding and rotating the tipm and one on the passenger side removing and installing the plugs.***
To replace the tipm do this in reverse order.
1. Place your ignition key into the ignition.
2. Turn the key to the on position for 12 seconds.( I used a stop watch)
3. Then turn the key to the off position.
4. Then start your jeep as normal and check all of your functions to ensure normal operation.
My repaired TIPM has been in since last Thursday and I have not had ONE SINGLE issue! Many thanks to Allen and AR Speedometer!
Hope this helps. Just take your time, it really is not too difficult.
As idiot proof as the connections might be, I suggest labeling the wiring harness and the TIPM sockets to be absolutely certain you remember which one goes where when you re-install it.
I wrapped a piece of masking tape around each wire harness and put another piece on the socket housing, numbering them to match as I took them out.
My GC is back online for a week now, and still working fine.

Wash less, line dry, donate!
Ever think about what happens to your jeans after you're done with them? Levi Strauss has, and the company wants to avoid having them end up in a landfill.
The jeans giant is partnering with Goodwill and adding a message on its product care tag that reminds people to donate old clothing.
Some 23.8 billion pounds of your cast-offs end up in U.S. landfills each year, according to Goodwill.
"Our collective goal is to extend the idea of Care Tags beyond washing, drying and ironing — to encouraging consumers to donate those clothes when no longer needed," said Deborah Alvarez-Rodriguez, CEO of Goodwill of San Francisco.

A Sheetz convenience store will fill a vacant tract at the Richland Town Centre.
Site plans approved by Richland Township's planning commission show the 6,489-square- foot Sheetz will be built alongside Elton Road on a grassy lot that sits as the final undeveloped portion of the shopping plaza.
Sheetz officials said the new store will reflect their continued trend toward the restaurant niche.
A drive-thru and indoor seating are among the site's additions.
"We live and die by selling food these days ... so we've been trying to put indoor seating in our new locations anytime we have room," Sheetz real estate manager David Hazelet said.
Richland Township supervisors approved a subdivision on the property Monday, allowing developers to combine two lots on the property into a 2.2 acre site and then subdivide it again for the 1.5 acre Sheetz property.
The remaining .72 acre tract of land will be offered for a separate tenant, plans show.
Hazelet said the new Sheetz will offer a coffee bar and the "Made-To-Order" food Sheetz is known for as well as 10 fueling stations, outdoor seating and the drive-thru.
Sheetz has been building drive-thru's into new stores for the past year, when able, he added.
Similarly-sized Sheetz stores employ 45 people – about half of them full-time workers, Hazelet said.
The project is eyed for 2014 construction.

Excellent - didn't change a thing except for using red kidney beans instead. No more package mixes for me!!!! Update - made this again - teenagers love this chili - I didn't have good drinking wine on hand today but the Holland House Red Cooking Wine was passable for this recipe - I think the heat in this chili negates the wine flavor!!! I've also been adding more tomatoe paste since my family and guests like a thicker sauce and is good for the way they eat the leftovers. When I serve this I've been putting out small dishes of diced onions, shredded cheddar cheese or american and sour cream. Everyone seems to enjoy making their own creations. Definitely put out some bread - a salad goes well with this also - especially if you like your chili spicy. - When we are lucky enough to have leftovers the kids love to just heat this up making a sandwich on white bread or hambuger rolls with a thin slice of onion and melted cheez whiz - messy but soooo good. Again Cathie - thanks - this is the only chili I ever make now.

This was SO BLAND that I was afraid din din was a dud BUT I went to my other chili recipe (by BOB) and added all the good stuff and just a half a cup of beer since I had already added the wine. Once you get Bob's chili recipe it's hard to go a-stray. *thumbs down* sorry..but ty
This was alright. I prefer a LOT more spice in mine however, maybe it's a Texas thing? I did cook this for 4 hours for flavor. It was thin so I used up the rest of the can of tomato paste (6 oz.) as other reviewers suggested the last thirty minutes of cooking. It could have been more tomatoey tasting. I didn't have black beans so I used a can of ranch style beans and a can of dark kidney beans. This was pretty good, but I just couldn't give it 4 star, it needed way too many changes. Not bad at all, but we prefer a lot more spice and much much more chili peppers. Way too bland for our tastes. I served this over a bed of cooked spaghetti pasta and topped it with shredded colby/mj cheese. Hubby and son like chopped onion on theirs too. I won't bother even trying to make this again. We liked It's Chili by George far better.

No one hurt in Thursday bus school wreck
- Last Updated on 10:48 AM 08/30/12
- BY The Gazette-Virginian
A Halifax County Public Schools bus was rear ended early Thursday morning while making a stop to pick up a student on Volens Road in the northern section of Halifax County.
No students were injured, and no damage was reported to the bus, according to Halifax County Public Schools Transportation Coordinator Earl Womack.
Sydnor Jennings Elementary School bus driver Linda Scott was stopped on Volens Road when she was rear-ended by a car that went under the back bumper of the bus, Womack said.
The bus sustained no damage, but Womack said he estimated the car sustained $1,500 in damage.
Virginia State Trooper B. L. Crews investigated the wreck.

Nearly 1,000 people took advantage of a special deal to get a brand new gas cans as they simultaneously helped to keep our air cleaner.
The Dane County Clean Air Coalition has 3,500 brand new environmentally friendly gas cans to give to those who are willing to turn in their old metal or plastic cans. The new cans are spill proof and prevent gas vapors from escaping into the air.
Officials estimate there are 167,000 gas cans in Dane County, adding they emit more than one ton of pollutants into the air. Many people don't realize the level of inefficiency contained in their old cans.
Dave Merritt from the Clean Air Coaltion says, "when you're pouring harmful gas vapors escape into the environment called volatile organic compounds. That's the pollutant, when mixed with other pollutants causes ozone."
If you missed out, you can still exchange your old gas cans at the Clean Sweep location which is at the north end of the Dane County Highway Complex on Fish Hatchery Drive. There is a limit of two per family.
