Everything about Barack Obama is suspicious -- but not as suspicious as it used to be. In the good old days, we had a new scandal each week, from claims that he's secretly a Muslim, to demands to see his birth certificate. But, this all is about to change. Stephen has finally found the story that will blow the lid off the Obama campaign: the president of the United States has a secret Martian past.
Brave patriot and lawyer Andrew D. Basiago says Obama was his roommate in the government's top-secret space-time program, Project Pegusus. Basiago claims he was the first American child to teleport, traveling from New Jersey to New Mexico in mere seconds. After nearly 40 trips across America, Basigo says Obama and him soon teleported ... to Mars.
"Several times, I went to Mars in the jump room with him, and I was present on the surface with him, and others," said Basiago.
Why won't Obama admit him and his roommate's secret Martian past? Watch the latest edition of "This Changes Everything" to find out -- and hear what teleportation expert William Shatner says to back up Basiago's claims.

hopefully, paceo will not give blood the day of the fight, and MAywwthwr says he will not fight without it.
I think we all know Pacman is on something. Mayweather owned Mosley after Round 2.
I don't like Manny's chances after watching that Shane fight. Everyone says Manny will outwork him with speed, power, aggression & conditioning, but so was Shane, as far as speed & power is concerned. I think Mayweather's far too technical and always forces his opponents to fight his fight, eventually. After he makes his opponents respect his counter punch, bull aggression turns into a technical poke game and Mayweather owns that world.
P.S. I effing hate Mayweather, but there's no denying he's a boxing phenom.
I like Manny and think Mayweather is a douche and a ***** for pulling the blood test crap that already happened in 2005. Trying to psych him out. I hope it happens and that he gets his mouthy ass knockedtfo.
i like manny too, but if he ain't have nothin to hide, why not just take the test and get to scrappin and cash out? that made manny look mad suspect. that boy been on something for a minute and mayweather and the majority of the people including myself been aware of that, without him being on whatever it is that he has been on mayweather was going to put it on him and he(manny) knew that himself
Allegedly, Manny has agreed to Money May's terms.
Full Article:PACQUIAO BENDS TO MAYWEATHER: AGREES TO 14-DAY CUT
By Mark Vester
WBO welterweight champion Manny Pacquiao has budged. The Filipino champion is now willing to agree to Floyd Mayweather Jr.'s previous cut-off date for a random Olympic-style drug testing protocol. Earlier this year, the two sides failed to reach an agreement for a March mega-fight. The issue of random drug testing was the root cause for the failed negotiations.
The two fighters were unable to agree on the cut-off date for the blood tests. Mayweather wanted a 14-day cut-off on the tests, while Pacquiao wanted the random drug testing protocol to end 24-days before the fight. Now Pacquiao is willing to meet Mayweather's number.
I really hope this comes to fruition. It truly is the only real major money fight in boxing right now. I am curious if Manny could pull this off. I friggin hate Mayweather

I have too much respect for Mayweathers skill, work ethic, and conditioning to hate him. I want to see him win because its better that than the Tim Tebow of boxing. Mayweather is too good of a boxer. If Pacman does not knock him out in the early rounds, Floyd will run the show.
That lies the problem. I don't see Manny knocking Mayweather out early. Hell, Manny doesn't open up until round 8 and by then, Mayweather will have found his distance, by then Manny will have learned to respect Floyd's counter and Manny's usual aggressive style might turn into a more technical poke fest, which Mayweather rules. I hope to God I'm wrong, but I don't see Manny winning. Mayweather is the hardest athlete to disdain, because he always succeeds.
At first, I was calling for the Manny/Mayweather fight out of pure enthusiasm, but in comparing and breaking down their skill sets, I don't like Manny's odds. I really don't want to see Mayweather completely shut down Manny like he did with Shane. That's going to suck to watch. Again, I hope to God I'm wrong, but.....
I enjoy technical boxing, counter punching is my ****. I used to box so its different for me...
I can't stand Mayweather, but simply put...he is on a different level looking down at everyone else. Manny might put up a fight, but Mayweather will emerge victorious.
"Never trust a b*tch because b*tches be crazy, now get out there and go crush some P***Y!" - Jerry Stiller.
This fight will happen for sure.. boxing will not in a million years let this build up of a fight go to waste especially cuz they need it. I never knew about the blood test issue haven't been keeping up great read.

The Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra Inc. board of directors Thursday terminated the RPO's contract with Music Director Arild Remmereit, effective immediately, citing Remmereit's "failure to perform his contractual job responsibilities since late November."
The board in November voted to terminate his contract effective the end of the 2012-2013 season.
"We gave Mr. Remmereit the opportunity to continue to perform this season, but he has not provided us with any assurance he would do so," said board chairwoman Elizabeth Rice in a statement. "Many people have said they want Mr. Remmereit reinstated; however, the truth is, he has shown no interest in being reinstated, let alone finishing this season.
"This has been a challenging time for the RPO, its musicians and staff, and the board," Rice added. "In the interest of the long-term excellence of the orchestra, both artistically and financially, we concluded that ending the relationship with Mr. Remmereit now is necessary." (Read the entire RPO board statement.)
The move came less than a day after the orchestra held its annual meeting, detailing the actions taken regarding Remmereit and the factors behind its $746,000 operating deficit. (See related story.)

Book Description:A 2012 New York Times Book Review Notable BookIn this moving memoir, a renowned feminist scholar explores the physical and psychological ordeal of living with ovarian cancer.Diagnosed with ovarian cancer in 2008, Susan Gubar underwent radical debulking surgery, an attempt to excise the cancer by removing part or all of many organs in the lower abdomen. Her memoir mines the deepest levels of anguish and devotion as she struggles to come to terms with her body's betrayal and the frightful protocols of contemporary medicine. She finds solace in the abiding love of her husband, children, and friends while she searches for understanding in works of literature, visual art, and the testimonies of others who suffer with various forms of cancer.Ovarian cancer remains an incurable disease for most of those diagnosed, even those lucky enough to find caring and skilled physicians. Memoir of a Debulked Woman is both a polemic against the ineffectual and injurious medical responses to which thousands of women are subjected and a meditation on the gifts of companionship, art, and literature that sustain people in need. 2 illustrations

doctahjones |
might be an old thread, but i really appreciate the info. about to go look at a 89 that seems like it's too cheap. and who cares if there's grammar/spelling mistakes. it's about info, not perfection. and last time i looked, a -proper- jeep isn't perfect, it will have scratches and dings and such |
P0234 | Frame rust should be #1. |
89quest | Oh if I only knew about this forum before I bought" Little Red", I really dont know what happened I got behind the wheel and I knew she was mine. Common sense went out the window, I had the have her.Great post. |
SigChiPsi | One thing you forgot. If I may be so bold? You should turn on the lights, click them over to bright, and turn the heater all the way up. If the lights don't cut out your in luck. |
barjeep | if you cant drive a jeep a couple of miles around and know whats going on get somebody that can. who in there right mind would let anybody take the cover off the rearend and bring it back? i think for the most part you are on q. however no one would take my jeep overnite. |

I wish I had this when i bought my YJ, it's doing great, but there were some problems i didn't expect to find. But at $660 for a 91 that drives, I just wanted to get that baby home before the guy changed his mind. can you elaborate on the "On a 2.5 up grade to the 4.0 Throttle body" ? what are the advantages? also, what kind of job is it to replace the Passenger Side engine mount? could i do it w/o an engine hoist? thanks |
rogertc1 |
Don't forget to toake these words of wit from Rain360 with you... 6. Stock Seats. Reason If they look like shit put new one's in. and i know they do they have rips and are mostlikely yellow. perferably ones that recline and arent made of ball sweating materail as jeeps are and should be natural AC. Also the standerd seat brackets rust and the seats internail support's fail. And later on you woun't have money to. Jeep Just empty every Pocket you will always want something cooler then seats, tires, lift, speakers that you won't beable to hear any way, ect. |
texasoffroad | im going to look at some jeeps tomarow, im printing this and taking it with me. thanks! |
rogertc1 |
I expect stuff to be wrong on a YJ with over 100,000 miles. Most problems can be fixed thus the low prices on YJ's. The main thing is to check the fram to make sure it is not rusted out. Minor rust can be welded or renforced. Jeeps are easy to work on as compared to other vehicles that also require maintenance. Please don't make a sticky of OP. Not prefessional. |
hermesgrafix | Thanks for the info. Wish I would have gotten this sooner! Bought my Jeep from my Boss, got a good deal but really did not know what to loot for. Got the cracking on the hard top and corrosion. But got a good deal and know what kind of mechanic he was so I know the quality of the work that was done was good! Mike |
beachnjeep | if you do sticky it then do a spell check to make it look more professional or vocab correct. |
beachnjeep |
ah heck just buy a new one then, and now no problems. instead of tapping if you think it has bondo try a magnet, works much better. |
Kohrs93 | Great thread. I'm sure this will help out many people. This should be stickied. |

Forgot to mention stock axel/diff bearings in the rear always go bad so check that. Also Upgrade your tool collection, garage, and alloted time to spend working on your jeep. Final note: Jeeps cost money, and you will have to work on if for the rest of your life. They eat gas, there loud, the ride isn't that nice, Your Jeep will rattle, poor airodynamics. but it will last you as long as you take care of it. Owning a jeep is a way of life. Its a community, If you see another jeep on the side of the road you stop and help out. You must wave to other jeeps except to the JK and other dark-side none-leaf spring jeeps. Owning a jeep will be the best desicison you will ever make. You'll smile everytime you drive behind the wheel, It gives you a sense of freedom. Its an american tradition forged from war. Other people just won't understand you. Its a Jeep thing tell them. Driving in the rain or winter with no top, Making your own exits from crowed events, Mud everwhere except were the wipers go. banging and swearing in your garage at 3o'clock in the morning, People telling you that they think you have an exhaust leak, and asking you if your suppost to use a hammer there. It's not so much because your trying to be diffrent. Its more because you can. You will do things that other drivers would never think about doing in or to there cars in there right mind. And if they do try, to take their hummer to follow you. Their going to get stuck and you can drive away laughing. sorry for spelling and grammer. mehh |

Thing's to know when Buying a Used Jeep Wrangler YJ I hope this get sticked.... Things To Look For when buying a jeep wrangler YJ: 1. body damage, tap around the jeep logo and the fenders for bondo. 2. Check for rust, Under carpet, floormates, by drain plugs the side wall inside where the jeep logo is, the engine compartment under the master brake cylinder, shock mounts, axel mounts, gas tank rust, wheel wells, tranny cross member and the bottom of the frame. 3. Make sure all doors seal, open, and close properly from both sides (yes i said both sides). Check under the dash for water markes, as the fire wall and windshield are know for leaking. 4. Check the fluid levels. 5. Check the battery for corrosin 6. Make sure the horn, key, and steering wheel all work right. 7. Make sure you have all the proper keys, Door's half/full, the glove compartment, back tail gate, lock box's, Wheel lug lock keys, wench start key, ect. 8. Tops Learn how to take it off if its a soft top have them show and check for missing parts. hard top check the back windsheild struts, check the fiberglass for cracks, the bolt holes for wear, and that there is a seal bettween the body and top. Soft Top Check for day light, Rips, Stiches coming out, are the windows clear and free of scratches or foggy? can you un-zip and re-zip the windows and the zipper is not off track. Are the button clips okay, and are the side plastic door/front windshield mounts cracked? 9. Dose all the enternal electronics work. Radio, lights, cigarret lighter/12v aux power, fan, heater, vent cable opens easily? 10. Petal's fell okay clutch esp. 11. Check the roll cage and windshield to see if the vehical was ever rolled. 12. inspect the differantal's, oil pan, axels to see if they liked to rock crawl. 13. Inspect the window frame and the seal's for age, crack's, or rust. 14. Look at the tire tread and there side walls for off roading wear. 15. Check the exhuast system for rust, leaks, hole's, dent's, ect. (I got my buddy a jeep real cheap because the lady selling it thought there was something wrong with the engine. really one of the U-bolts had came lose and it had an exhuast leak. so it was idleing ruff, sounded bad, and had trouble starting due to bad back pressure. He got it for a steal and all we had to fix was a u-bolt LOL) 16. Brake and hydrolic lines for dents 17. Walk around it again and wiggle everything. listen for noise's feel for movment, ect Test drive it, Run threw every gear at every RPM range, test the low and high 4X4, brake hard from 60mph, turn on all the lights and brights, make turns in 4X4-normal juttering is expected on a 90 degreee turn. Last but not least piss on it, to mark it as your's if you like it. List of Items that should of been replaced on NHTSA recall: Im lazy just read the list here. LIST Things I learned To Replace on a Used Jeep: 1. Passenger Side engine mount. replace it with Dealership part as its much stronger and better metal then auto parts store. There known to break. Reason. You'll drop your engine, your fan will fall, hit the axel and get bent, the oil filter explode when hitting the frame, It might rip out your front tranny cross member bolt on the passanger side or weaken it so it rust out faster, the Oil Pan will get dent, and you'll have to tow it home or macgyver it. 2. Radiator Reason. Its a good idea as it may have cracks, clogs, holes, and you can get an oversided one which will add more cooling. Save your self from haveing to buy a new engine becasue you over heat it. 3. Cold Air Intake Reason: it will run so much better, its not even funny how much you will notice it. The stock air box kills your flow, NOTE: keep the air box for if you state has emissions test. 4. All Fluid's, this is a no brainer. If i was going to buy a car i would ask to test drive it over night. and i would take it home and check all the fluids and crack the rear diff. to look at the the drive line input bearing and at the Ring and pinion gear to see how messed up they are. 5. U joints all of them. Reason they can wear and cause vibriation, witch will kill your seals and your diff. bearings. 6. Stock Seats. Reason If they look like shit put new one's in. and i know they do they have rips and are mostlikely yellow. perferably ones that recline and arent made of ball sweating materail as jeeps are and should be natural AC. Also the standerd seat brackets rust and the seats internail support's fail. And later on you woun't have money to. Jeep Just empty every Pocket you will always want something cooler then seats, tires, lift, speakers that you won't beable to hear any way, ect. 7. Alot or all of the wiring, hose, and vac. lines. Reason you will save alot of time and money buy finding problems before they happen by checking your lines. Most batter cable lines will be corroided, you will find atlest one hose with a crack, hole, or rub in it, vacume lines its good to check with a pressure test so much of the jeep running correctly depends on your vacume lines. AND THERE SO CHEAP TO REPLACE ON YOUR OWN. 8. The stock carpet or any for that fact. Reason Carpet keeps water longer, it will causes rust, and your jeep has leaks face it. Also it smells bad, oil, grease, food, water, ect so just pitch it. i only have the floor pans and mats in my jeep i threw away the drain plugs too, as i tend leave my jeep topless in the rain. I recommend rinio liner or bed liner for your jeep. put it everywhere. 9. Windshield If its not rusted yet, RTV the F**K out of it. you'll thank me later. 10. Brakes Just a good idea new brake lines are cheap and if your jeep has lift you might need longer one's. and the pads need new just so you know what you have. If you take it to a shop check the torque on the wheel nuts as they alway over tighten them with impact wrenches. Things you might want to up grade. On a 2.5 up grade to the 4.0 Throttle body. Tires Body lift Lift Fenders hard top or soft Radio Lights wench exhuast ect.... If i forgot something plz add it in a post. |

Dress to kill in this synthetic spider silk outfit
Spider silk is about four or five times stronger than steel, but it is remarkably lightweight. So, what would it feel like to walk around in a suit woven of the stuff?
Spiber, a startup in northern Japan, is showing off a dress made from synthetic spider silk. The firm is one of several groups looking into how to make and use artificial spider silk, a task that has proven to be very challenging for scientists.
The electric-blue dress was created from a material Spiber calls Qmonos (from kumonosu, or "spider web," in Japanese). The material is extremely strong and more flexible than nylon. … Read more

We've become a lot less than we were created to be. We've been told what is required of us, we've been given examples of what that looks like and then we've proceeded to do what we want to do, take the easy way out and choose paths that allow us to feel good about ourselves for doing something, but never actually making a lasting impact. At least most of us have. We feed a person for a day, we turn their power back on for now, we give them shelter for a night, and that's a good thing... but we fall miserably short of challenging and changing the systems that will have those same people starving in a week, sitting in the dark next month, sleeping in the streets all too soon.
We've been told what is required of us, we've been given examples of what that looks like but we, the Church, busy ourselves with "the work of God" and miss out all together on the rest of the words of God. We let our silent good deeds be the end of our efforts to help, dooming struggling children of God to suffer under the oppressive and cyclical nature of systems designed to keep 'the least of these' in their place. We are much better and much more comfortable at giving people a hand out than giving them a hand up. Put simply, we prefer the self-serving feelings of charity to the self-sacrificing realities of justice.

Races for mayor now taking shapeFebruary 04, 2013, 9:00 pm by Adam Troxtell
Mayoral races in the area are beginning to take shape, as the incumbent for Marble Falls has filed for re-election and a recently elected council member in Horseshoe Bay has announced his intentions to seek the mayors seat later this year. George Russell has decided to run for his third consecutive, and what would be final, term as Marble Falls mayor. Russell served as Marble Falls city manager from 2002 to 2008 and was also assistant city manager and city manager for Georgetown between 1998 and 2001. He said with two big years coming up for the city, he feels his experience would be beneficial. "Over the next few years, weve got some of the tougher decisions the city will make, Russell said. "Well have the hospital being completed, the completion of the bridge, and we want to rebuild some of the reserves weve had in the city budget. I feel with the experience Ive had in those areas in the past, I should run again, and thats the feedback I got from some of the people I talked to about it. Horseshoe Bay Councilman Steve Jordan sent an email to friends and city officials on Saturday expressing his intent to run for mayor in the next city election. This is Mayor Bob Lamberts fourth and final term in office, which puts the mayoral seat up for grabs in November. The election filing period begins in August. "This is a big step for me, I didnt do it without careful consideration, Jordan said. "I contacted each of the council members before making the announcement. Reader Comments So the Mayor of MFs thinks the city will have some of the tougher decisions to make. Hmm could one of those decisions be on whether to Deannex the LMF sub or actually get complete services to that area. Or maybe it will be to annex more land like say Los Escondidos. IMO either of those two will be sticky ones. |

Castelli Presto Due Bib Short - Men's $99.95
Your accountant will be proud.
The Castelli Presto Due Bib Short offers breathability, moisture management, slight compression, and Castelli's bacteriostatic chamois pad, the KISS3–all for less than a decent helmet, a low-end jersey, or a pair of bargain cycling shoes.
For the construction, Castelli made the Presto Due from its Affinity Lycra fabric. This material features the hold and support that we know from Lycra, however, Affinity provides more stretch and elasticity than many other Lycra iterations. You'll also find that the material is incredibly light and soft–190 gram fabric weight, actually. This converts to around 140 denier, which, in the real world, translates to a slightly compressive fit and high thread count per centimeter. So, this means that your muscles will be protected from the fatigue-causing effects of road vibration and oscillation. But, why is the high thread count important? In a word, abrasion. By compacting the threads, Affinity becomes less course, lighter weight, and more gentle on the skin. Additionally, the fabric has been designed to be an effective moisture manager. So, during long, hard exertions, Affinity will pull moisture from the skin and transport it to the material's quick-drying surface.the bib portion was also designed with hot-weather cycling in mind. Castelli used highly breathable synthetic open mesh to provide fit, structure, and security without hindering breathability or moisture management.
In terms of fit, Castelli designed the Presto Due bib shorts around the cycling position. Essentially, this means that the multi-paneled pattern has been cut on a contour–you'll notice this when the shorts are hanging. So, the shorts' anatomic design allows for a full-range of movement without the risk of fabric pinching, bunching, or chafing. The bib follows this design concept, as well, with a fit designed for the crouched pedal position.
And extending the Presto's range of comfort, Castelli included its venerable KISS3 chamois. For a point of reference, Castelli only makes two road inserts, the Progetto X and the KISS3. So, it's evident that this chamois receives Castelli's unwavering vote of confidence. This is further reinforced by Castelli engineering-in many of the Progetto's key traits, only at more cost-effective price. Starting at the surface, the KISS3 uses a skin-care layer comprised of a bacteriostatic fabric that conforms to the body without folding. The material supports airflow, and aids in evaporation. The second layer is multi-density foam with continuously variable thickness where you need it, not where you don't. So where is it placed? Well, Castelli made sure to maximize thickness at the highly-sensitive ishial and to moderate thickness at the perineum pressure regions. Additionally, the insert has a minimal density along the perimeter. This translates directly to insert flexibility, so, you won't experience any uncomfortable riding or pinching.
The Castelli Presto Due Bib Shorts are available in six sizes from Small to XXX-Large and in the colors Black/white, Red/white/black, Anthracite/white, White/ocean/black, and White/anthracite/black.

Great bibs!

I absolutely love these bibs...I got them on sale and so far after riding on them for a few months am still very impressed. I have ridden other bibs from gore, pearl izumi, etc and I can say that so far castelli is my favorite. If you can't afford to buy a pair of castelli's bibs that have the progetto x2 chamois which are the best, then these are the next best thing.

What is the inseam. I am 5'5, Need shorter leg/ Some Castelli factories cut shorter inseam. I wear size M.

It is roughly 11 inches on an XXL...remember that castelli runs small so if you normally wear a medium you might want to think of a couple sizes up.
Great Bibs for Price Run Small
Member since
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
This a great bib for the sale price - clearly a step up in materials and design from the ergo tre. The only problem is in the blue model I had to go up to XXL to get a comfortable fit because the straps are so tight. On all other Castelli bibs XL fits fine. I wonder if the other colors are so tight because they are not so discounted?
Sizing is one up, quality is so so
Member since
- Familiarity: I returned this product before using it
I'm 5'7" and 165 lbs. Ordered the L and XL as a comparasion. The L fits pretty nicely. I have an issue with the quality of the lycra. Feels thin and the stiching does not feel sturdy. But the bibs are pretty cheap. I ended up returning and purchasing the de marchi bibs ( slighty more expensive @ 80, but the quality feels much better ).
Sizing is off

- Gender: Male
- Familiarity: I returned this product before using it
I love the style and choices of colors. I didn't read the review and they are correct on the sizing. I wear a small but the small on these is for someone really short. The bottom fit nice, but I couldn't put the straps on. Way to short and I'm only 5'7". Will be ordering a medium and hope they will fit.
Member since
where you able to fit the medium? did the straps fit? I tried a medium on this bibs and yes the straps are tight. I usually am a medium on other brands like pearl izumi and LG. I'm thinking of getting a large on this.
Decent bib
Member since
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
They run about 2x too small, good value for a $60 Castelli bib, nice looking. Time will tell if they last.
Member since
mlep508450 is correct about the sizing, I ordered an XL and it fits like a Medium (I have other Castellis bib that are XL and fit correctly). Size up accordingly!

Could the Orchard Landing Restaurant on Joppa Road in Towson become a Mo's seafood restaurant? That's what a recent Baltimore County liquor-license transfer would lead one to believe. However, none of the principals is talking yet.
For months, the Orchard Landing (not to be confused with the nearby Orchard Market and Cafe, which serves Persian food) has been undergoing renovations, according to a sign out front. I haven't been inside, but the outside looks like it could use a good overhaul.
It's come a long way from its heyday as Hersh's Orchard Inn, a classic Baltimore special-occasion place, where charming host Hersh Pacino greeted guests by name and regaled diners with insider stories. It was a hot spot for celebs, too, like Jim Palmer and Sammy Davis Jr. When it closed in 1997, executive chef Michael Gettier took over. He eventually left to head the kitchen at Antrim 1844 Country Inn in Taneytown to continued acclaim.
The liquor license transfer to Mo's was approved "subject to a checklist," a routine procedure of checking inspections, permits, and owners' backgrounds. That can take 30 days. I'll let you know what happens.

I am writing on behalf of the sale of Valley View and the sale of the field currently leased by American Youth Soccer Organization.
AYSO has been apart of my family's life for the past four years. My son was diagnosed with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder at age four, and AYSO provided an outlet for his anxiety and a place for him to meet other children, learn a new skill, and regain his lost confidence and self esteem in himself. There are far too few places for children to gain the things that AYSO gives back to the children and the community.
I understand new owners will come, and there should be something in the sale that AYSO may continue to lease the field, and if they may not then substantial time should be allotted so AYSO may find another location.
AYSO and volunteers put a lot of time and passion into the soccer families, the community and in the field.

No hype. No spin. Just college life from the inside
in the words of those who live it.
Is there a coffee bar on campus?
Two coffee bars! Capital Perks is located on the front door entrance level of the Public Affairs Center, on the Quad. It serves all the gourmet coffees and teas, iced drinks, muffins, etc. Same with Mary Jane's Cafe, located on the first level of Brookens Library. That's right, a mocha latte while you hit the books. Mary Jane's also serves whole grains, healthy sandwiches, and gourmet salads for lunch.
How do I get an on-campus job?
UIS has an online career management system called Career Connect. That is where you will find on-campus student worker positions posted. After you register for classes, you can register for an account at the CareerConnect Student.
Is it true the library is haunted?
What is there to do at UIS?
Plenty. We have 85+ student organizations you can explore — check out the Office of Student Life. We also have nine intercollegiate sports, numerous intramural teams, lots of traditions like Homecoming and Springfest, a foreign film series, incredible entertainment that comes to Sangamon Auditorium, theatre and music departments with plays and concerts all year, and a Housing Residents' Council, which spends an inordinate amount of time making sure nobody who lives on campus is bored.
Do you have a Rec Center?
Do we have a rec center !?! You won't believe this rec center. It's called TRAC — The Recreation and Athletic Center and it's brand new — a $16 million, 47,000 square feet space housing recreation, fitness, and indoor athletic events at UIS. There is a 3,000-seat performance arena with three collegiate-length basketball and volleyball courts, an elevated running track, two racquetball courts that convert to squash courts, cardio/weight training areas, and a multi-purpose exercise room. Surrounding the cardio/weight areas are lots of flat screen TVs — check out the news, ESPN SportsCenter, a movie, whatever! TRAC is open 7 a.m. – 11 p.m
What happens if I'm struggling with my classes?
We don't let anyone struggle if we can help it. Just let us know where you need help. We have a Center for First Year Students for new students whether you are a freshman, junior, whatever, as long as it's your first year at UIS.
You can also take advantage of UIS' Center for Teaching and Learning, which has tutors to work with you on writing skills, grammar and usage, math and statistics, software applications and computer programming, reading, studying, or test taking.
No charge. Ever. We also have a peer mentoring program which can help with classes, but also with college adjustment issues. Don't be shy.
Who are my teachers?
Almost all of them are full time faculty well known in their fields. And they teach freshmen. We don't reserve our professors for upperclassmen. With small classes, you'll get to know your teachers well. We promise. They'll take an interest in you and make sure you succeed. They'll even know when you're missing from class…but that's a good thing. They care.
How do I apply for scholarships?
If you're an incoming freshman or freshman honors student, see your admissions counselors about the merit scholarships available. After your freshman year, you're eligible for more than 100 available scholarships worth more than $90,000. Go to our scholarships website and download an application. The deadline for applying is February 15 of every year. Don't miss the opportunity.
How are roommates chosen?
You will submit a form when you apply for housing that asks questions such as "do you get up early?" or "do you stay up until all hours?" so we can pair you with someone similar. You can also request a specific roommate if, for example, you have a friend coming to UIS at the same time.
What's an interdisciplinary integrated honors curriculum, anyway?
The general education courses that our Capital Scholars honors students take are taught in a block of courses that are largely inter-disciplinary. For example, if you are learning about the Middle East conflict, you would explore it from a variety of angles…politics, religion, history, economics, and social. Through those various lens, you'd explore why it's happening and how it might be solved. Expect to be exposed to multiple perspectives. At college, unlike high school, there are lots of right answers and you'll be asked to think critically. That's how you learn to live and work in a complex world.
What about internships?
Nobody leaves here without an impressive record of success and a portfolio to prove it. We have great connections to Illinois state government, businesses in Central Illinois, and the dozens of not for profit agencies that are headquartered in Springfield. Our students have also interned in Chicago, and even at the White House! Many of our internships are paid!
Are you sure the library isn't haunted?
Yes. I mean no. Actually, "The Haunted Library" at Halloween is annual event on campus that has become a student favorite!

Predators/ open or closed windows? |

Yes, I can remember these pics, but was it a deliberate decision by the lion to get inside the car or was it perhaps the smell of last night's braai meat still left on the door knob that attracted the lion?
How would a lion know how to open a door? But, if a lion starts to learn where there is easy meat, they will continue following that method of hunting. Look at what the "Man eaters of Tsavo" has done. If lions discover that the easiest way to get some food is by jumping through a car window, they will continue doing that. |

Butterbee wrote I have experienced a leopard at touching distance next to the vehicle.....and he was completely relaxed. I could not contort my body enough, and anyway it happened too fast for photos... But on a drive in a place I will not mention we were at a leopards mating sighting. We were in 11-seaters, very near them, which they did not seem to care about, just continuing "the business". During one of the pauses the female walked up to the truck behind us, got onto her hind legs, and in a totally relaxed way sniffed at the elbow of a young girl seated there. The girl did not seem to be too frightened, evidence may have proved me wrong ( ), but the leopard was just looking. Who are you? Yes, they know that there are people in the cars. They know it very well actually. But maybe because of the vehicle around you they can choose to ignore it? I have had eye contact with big male lions in KTP, just 3 meters or such away, which in no uncertain way told me to stay in the car. (I have had many cats, you learn the body language.) But mostly they choose the ignore option. Or the large fun, the grab the bumper/license plate and tear it off option. Which is probably on par with the pierce the tires and then stay around to see how he changes it one. But those are usually the younger ones. |

We had wild dogs almost rubbing against the car as they walked past my dad's door and he was looking out, about 30 cm from the dogs.
I would also putthe window up ( and I do) when vervets and baboons are around. The blighters get in and steal food. |

had a hyena try to take a bite off my side mirror, with my window open - being so close to them added another dimension to my experiences...they do stink like hell
I agree with BB: if they wanted to go for you, they are not going to be stopped by a window they cannot perceive as a "barrier" in the first place |

Even having a rifle in the vehicle is no assurance.
Mostly we drive with the rifles stored in a rifle bag. But even if you have it in a rifle rack, the chance is extremely low that you will be able to use it in an effective way should a predator decide to enter the vehicle. There is no time and very little space to move. And even if you do, given the calibre and power of the rifles, there is a huge risk of shooting one or more of the guests in the process. These rifles are designed to kill elephant and the bullet will go straight through a predator without losing any effectiveness. |

A few years back we spent a weekend at Simbambili, when the ranger parked our open vehicle right on top of a pride of lions.
They lions did like that very much and growled the whole time. The ranger eventually told us to not look straight at the lions which I thought was a bit weird. My immediate question was why we had to be so very close to them, if I cant even look at them. Later that same evening the ranger got so close to an elephant eating away at a marula tree, that if my arm was twice the length, I could have touched it. I do think that sometimes they take unnecessary risks, but will not deny that it is also great seeing them at such close range. |

But my take on it, I am usually very carefull of hyena and Wild dog, Lions, I have seen, like n the last pic can sometimes be interested in whats INSIDE the vehicle, close the window then, Leopard usually have no interest. So, IMHO, this thing about animals only seeing the vehicle, and not the tidbits inside, |

Quote So, IMHO, this thing about animals only seeing the vehicle, and not the tidbits inside, I do believe that they see us and know what is going on inside the vehicles. They just choose to sometimes ignore us!! We've seen it a couple of times in Kgalagadi, where the lions would pic a car and move closer to inspect. They were certainly not interested in the car, but the occupants. |

LQ, I was driving towards Balule from Satara one night(All Legal) with a rather small car(BMW 3 series) when we encountered a fairly large pride just north of Gudzani, the 3 males in the pride took immidiate interest in what was inside the vehicle.
We felt like tinned food at that time. And they did try their luck in having a go at the inside of the vehicle. |

A few years ago I traveled from Skukuza to Kruger gate, just after the turnoff to Lake Panic a leopard appeared right next to the road.
Since I was the only car around I stopped right next to it with the intention to take a brilliant photo, my window was open as I were told that one should not brake the shape of the vehicle when close to predators as they see you as part of the vehicle. However in the next couple of seconds I learnt that this was an absolute myth, with the leopard nicely in focus - just about to press the button for my award winning photo - It came for me To this day I have no idea how I managed to close the window so quickly, I was however unable to move as I was shaking like a broken washing machine. An approaching car observed this from a distance and asked if I was ok? Had to reply that I was not but I have learned a very valuable lesson and that is that Leopards do not see you as part of the vehicle it sees you as someone in the vehicle and that is a fact. What I also learned was that a leopard moves faster than lightning and that I am sure that it did not want to hurt me it only wanted to warn me as it would have been so easy for the Leopard to grab me with my window open. I shudder when I see people hanging out of their vehicles or letting their children stand head and shoulders through a roof window. |

i also think its about personal space. we usuallly park our car and let the Preditors come to us instead of rushing towards them taking photos. have a photo of my fiance staring directly into a females eye which made me realize that they do take notice of you. but point begin she came to our car we didnt rush apon her so think she felt safe!

My sister and I went in to the Kruger Park a few years ago for a day drive.
We entered at Phabeni gate and we were driving along the main road when we came across a traffic jam. We approach the traffic and noticed that everyone was looking to the left. People were hanging out of sun roofs and windows and of course, all manners and consideration for others had left the scene. I scanned the area and caught a glimpse of a leopard walking next to the stream below. We couldn't get any closer because the traffic was grid locked so we sat patiently watching the chaos. To our utter and complete amazement, a woman got out of the vehicle she was in and she walked to the side of the road and started taking photos of the leopard. She then walked back to the vehicle and collected a few more cameras from her friends and walked back to the side of the road to take more pictures. My sister and I sat there in complete disbelief at what were were seeing. Once the 'photo shoot' was over, she got back into the vehicle and they sped off. Nothing like breaking the rules and being completely stupid. Hellooooo, a leopard is a wild animal and it will hurt you. |

CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- The national media last week learned what those of us who have covered Sen. Joe Manchin for years have always known: He can sound like he's saying something substantive without saying much of anything at all.
During his appearances on network morning shows, Manchin, of course, never called for banning anything, but for a dialogue on how to stem the national epidemic of mass shootings. Indeed, Manchin is probably right in that the problem is not just the easy accessibility to semi-automatic weapons, but also insufficient mental health care resources, and a pop culture that glorifies extreme violence in movies and video games.
Given that tone, it was remarkable to see the vile and nasty comments directed at Manchin from the extreme gun rights advocates -- particularly since they're not acting in a position of strength under the circumstances.
It was entirely inappropriate for Keith Morgan, president of the West Virginia chapter of the "astroturf" group Citizens Defense League to refer to Manchin as "Sen. Elmer Fudd" and calling him a snake for daring to even open a dialogue on extreme gun violence in this country.
Equally bizarre were comments from state Republican Party Chairman Conrad Lucas calling Manchin "classless" for raising the issue so soon after the Newtown shootings, and saying he had "humiliated himself and his state."
Lucas did not say how long a waiting period would be appropriate before the topic is suitable for national debate ... perhaps until the next mass murder?
Some readers suggested I was unfair to poke fun at the lack of math skills of the author of a New York Times report that said the state gives out more than $1.5 billion of tax incentives each year. (Heck, I was just looking for an easy segue into the fact that the state had just released its annual Tax Credit Disclosure List ... )
Whether the correct figure is $1.5 billion or more like $82 million is a matter of semantics. To paraphrase Bill Clinton, it depends on what a tax incentive is.
To my mind, a tax incentive is something a state actively offers to recruit or retain a particular business, be it tax credits, grants, low-interest loans, etc.
In the Times report, the vast majority of what it calls incentives -- more than $1.2 billion of the total -- is because the state does not impose consumer sales taxes on raw materials. (Nor does any other state, as far as I'm aware.)
Because West Virginia, given its relatively small size, exports a lot of coal, natural gas, and electricity, the Times makes it look like we're giving away a lot of incentives on a per capita basis.
Commerce Secretary Keith Burdette, who has been critical of the Times report, said it makes for great copy and generates a lot of conversation, but is not a valid comparison of tax incentives state-by-state.
"It's not comparing apples with apples," he said. "It's comparing apples with pineapples."
