08 Sonata - Getting 15 MPG!?!?
Posts: 4
in Hyundai
Hi. I recently bought a CPO 2008 Hyundai Sonata GLS (4 cly).
The car is getting 15MPG! I dont know what to do. I took it to a dealership and they tried to screw me out of $400+ for a "spark plug, fuel injection, and air filter cleaning."
They did a full inspection and told me that nothing major was wrong. No leaks etc...
What is the problem? I live in LA and obviously am stuck in traffic alot... But how is my car getting such terrible mileage? I drive with the lightest foot ever.
If i change my spark plugs and put in fuel injection cleaner in my gas tank, will this really make a difference?
Please help!

backy Twin CitiesPosts: 18,787Have you tried this: get out of LA, find an open stretch of relatively flat highway that you can set the cruise control on, reset the mpg meter, then set cruise at the speed limit and drive at least 10 miles. Then turn around and go back the same way. Make sure your tires are inflated to spec, car is maintained as suggested (at 60k it's due for a major servicing that would include plugs, oil, and air filter) before the test.
If you don't see at least 30 mpg in this test, I'd wonder if there's something wrong with the car. If you see 30+ mpg, then it's your LA commuting that is killing your mpg. BTW, the EPA combined rating for the 2008 I4 AT is only 24 mpg, and 21 city. And that is not in LA traffic. -
lightfootfl Posts: 442It might not apply to you, but my 2006 V-6 LX Sonata, with right at 30,000 miles recently finished a trip of about 1400miles and my overall mileage was not everything I would have liked either, but it wasn't bad, please take a few minutes to read my #759 on Sonata Real MPG to see how I did. Just another two cents worth. It shows my overall mpg for the trip.

yul711 Posts: 8I am not an automobile pro, just want to mention a few point to consider. May be your brake pads are "sticking" to brake rotors, causing extra friction when driving? You can check this by touching wheel hub during/after stop, it could be hot from constant friction. Do you feel that your car does not have adequate power on highway? One of the engine cylinders may be not working properly wasting gas? This could be come from defective spark plug, cylinder coil, coil wire, ignition system malfunction, vehicle computer malfunction, bad oxygen sensor (just a few that come to mind). To begin with, I'd suggest to replace spark plugs and show them to good mechanic, he may tell you if there are obvious problem inside the cylinder. Ask your mechanic to check ignition wires for good electric signal connectivity to coil and look and the coils. May be you can find a good local mechanic that could do a good job much cheaper that a dealer? Just my 2 cents.
targettuning Posts: 1,371If any of those "engine malfunction" items you suggested had actually occurred the CEL (check engine light) would be ablaze. If even one cylinder misfires momentarily for any reason it will trigger a code and a resulting CEL...I know it just happened to me when cylinder #4 spark plug failed on our Saturn. This thing, the OBDII diagnostic tool has so many sensors and can detect so many faults, even brief ones, it is scary so I believe the problem is the "I live in Los Angeles" statement. Heavy traffic, stop-go/grid lock will absolutely kill fuel economy. 0 MPG while stopped for long periods see to that.
yul711 Posts: 8I live in NYC and also have my share of bad traffic, although may be not as bad as in LA, but my mpg is still significantly better than yours (no bragging here, just a comparison statement). In general, I'd suggest try perform some maintenance/service/repairs step-by step to eliminate problems starting from the cheapest one, and try to estimate mpg changes (if any) after each step. Hopefully, somewhere along the way you may get a some mpg improvement. That is what I'd do if I was badly disappointed with my mpg. In my case, the spark plus replacement helped a lot and coils/wires replacement may be next.
hotrod54 Posts: 82Ok, class is in session, listen up. The first thing to remember about the manufacter's claims about fuel mileage...they are EPA ESTIMATES. The EPA ESTIMATES are a guide to compare one vehicle to the next. On the Mulroney sticker, these words appear under both the city mpg and highway mpg...using my car (2011 SE 2.0T) as an example..."city mpg 22, expected range for most drivers 18 to 26; "highway mpg 33, expected range for most drivers 27 to 39". Next, driving type and style. When I was in the service biz, people always complained they did not get the advertised mpg; see above. Upon intense questioning of these people I would determine the type and style of their driving. Here's what we get. In heavy, short distance stop and go commuting, you will not get good fuel mileage. Quick acceleration followed by hard braking will suck gas right down. If your commute is short (less than 10 miles), your engine is just barely fully warmed up, thus, reduced fuel mileage. If it is cold out, your car will consume more fuel. Whenever you are at idle, whether you warm up before you drive (not reccommended for more than 30 sec.), when you run in to the store for that cup o joe and leave the car running, in traffic, at the drive thru, you are getting 0 mpg. If you have the a/c on, you are using more fuel. If you have the defroster on above 35 degrees, the a/c compressor is running, using more fuel. Before you question your fuel mileage, question yourselves, examine how you drive, whether the compressor is running, ambient air temp. etc. Okay, class dismissed. Feel free to pass this info on to family and friends.

The greatest champion in the history of ITF Taekwon-Do has finished his career as a competitor. Mr. Jaroslaw Suska finishes his sports career as 6 times World Champion and 20 times European Champion in individual pattern, as well as numerous other titles in individual and team events at the very top level, a record that surpasses all other competitors in the history of ITF and one that will be very difficult to emulate ever again. Mr. Suska retires at the very top of his ability, having been crowned World Champion once again at the World Championships in Spain.
The ITF community would like to pay tribue to Jaroslaw Suska for his fantastic achievements as a competitor but also for being an inspiration to so many people in ITF Taekwon-Do. Mr. Suska has shown what is possible with hard work, dedication to the art and a perserverance and motivation to practice and train every day; his reward, to be recognised as the best competitor in our history and an inspiration to so many future champions.
Mr. Suska now begins his career as a coach, having just been appointed as one of the National Coaches for the Polish National Taekwon-Do Team, we wish him all the best in his future endeavours.

Batten disease is the most common form of a group of rare disorders known as neuronal ceroid lipofuscinoses (NCLs). Batten disease is an inherited genetic disorder that causes a build-up of lipopigments in the body's tissue. Batten disease refers to a juvenile form of NCL, but the other forms of NCL can also be referred to as Batten disease. The forms of NCL include:
Batten disease is caused by abnormalities in genes that are involved with the production and use of certain body proteins. The disease results in a build-up of fats and proteins called lipopigments in the cells of the brain, eyes, skin, and other tissues.
Researchers have made progress in identifying the defective enzymes and mutated genes that underlie these disorders, but it is not yet known exactly how the gene mutations cause this build-up of lipopigments.
Since Batten disease is an inherited condition, people at risk include:
Symptoms of Batten disease include the following:
Symptoms of Batten disease are similar in each type of the disease. However, the time of appearance, severity, and rate of progression of symptoms can vary depending on the type of the disease. For example:
Infantile NCL (Santavuori-Haltia disease)—symptoms begin to appear between the ages of six months and two years, and progress rapidly. Children with this type generally live until age five, though some survive in a vegetative state a few years longer.
Late infantile NCL (Jansky-Bielschowsky disease)—symptoms begin to appear between ages 2-4, and progress rapidly. Children with this type usually live until ages 8-12.
Juvenile NCL (Spielmeyer-Vogt-Sjogren-Batten disease)—symptoms begin to appear between ages 5-8, and progress less rapidly. Those afflicted usually live until their late teens or early 20s; and in some cases, into their 30s.
Adult NCL (Kufs disease or Party's disease)—symptoms usually begin to appear before age 40. Symptoms progress slowly and are usually milder. However, this form of the disease usually does shorten a person's life span.
Batten disease is often difficult to diagnose because it is so rare. Vision problems are often the first symptoms. Therefore, an initial diagnosis may result from an eye exam.
Your bodily fluids and tissues may be tested. This can be done with:
Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
Images may be taken of your bodily structures. This can be done with:
There is no known treatment that will stop the progression or effects of Batten disease. Therefore, treatment aims to reduce symptoms.
For patients who have seizures, anticonvulsant medications can be given to help control seizures. In addition, physical and/or occupational therapy can help people continue functioning for a longer period of time.
One experimental therapy is supplementation with vitamins C and E combined with a diet low in vitamin A. This may slow the progression of the disease in children; however, there is no evidence that it will stop the progression of the disease. Talk to your doctor before trying this therapy.
There is no known way to prevent Batten disease. If you have Batten disease or have a family history of the disorder, you can talk to a genetic counselor when deciding to have children.

Christmastime in Chicago is truly a magical time. Take, for example, the splendiferous tree in Daley Plaza. This is the 100th year Chicago has had an official city Christmas tree. And like the first official city tree, it was donated. Nearly 29,000 lights and 300 decorations (including a star on top) adorn the tree, city of Chicago spokeswoman Mary May said.
Santa has set up shop in his house in Daley Plaza — also the site of the annual Christkindlmarket Chicago, skaters are gliding around the rink at Millennium Park and carolers are caroling at Cloud Gate.
There are a plethora of activities to make your season merry and bright, from sipping mulled cider at the Christkindlmarket to marveling at the window displays at Macy's.
"People are out on the streets enjoying the holiday season and being together. There's just so much to do here. It's just a magical time of year," May said. "There are so many classic traditional things we do here in the city to celebrate the holidays, it's truly magical for Chicago."
And that's just downtown Chicago. There are events all over the city and its surrounding suburbs that celebrate the season.
Here are some holiday events in the Chicago area.
CHICAGO BOTANIC GARDEN'S WONDERLAND EXPRESS: Holiday-themed miniature train exhibit runs through Jan. 5. $8-$10. Hanukkah concert Dec. 1, Holiday Cheers! Seasonal Tastings Dec. 11, Christmas concert Dec. 21 and Hot Chocolate with Mrs. Claus Dec. 23. Parking is $20 per car, $25 per van. 1000 Lake Cook Road, Glencoe, Ill. (847) 835-5440; chicagobotanic.org.
MORTON ARBORETUM'S ILLUMINATION AND ENCHANTED RAILROAD: New is the Arboretum's first lights event: a mile-long trail filled with light experiences that runs through Jan. 4. Enchanted Railroad is a garden railroad through an indoor winter wonderland; through Jan. 6. $9-$12. Illumination event $10-$15; includes admission. 4100 Illinois 53, Lisle, Ill.

Five kings war against Gibeon. (1-6) Joshua succours Gibeon The sun and moon stand still. (7-14) The kings are taken, their armies defeated, and they are put to death. (15-27) Seven other kings defeated and slain. (28-43)
Verses 1-6 When sinners leave the service of Satan and the friendship of the world, that they make peace with God and join Israel, they must not marvel if the world hate them, if their former friends become foes. By such methods Satan discourages many who are convinced of their danger, and almost persuaded to be Christians, but fear the cross. These things should quicken us to apply to God for protection, help, and deliverance.
Verses 7-14 The meanest and most feeble, who have just begun to trust the Lord, are as much entitled to be protected as those who have long and faithfully been his servants. It is our duty to defend the afflicted, who, like the Gibeonites, are brought into trouble on our account, or for the sake of the gospel. Joshua would not forsake his new vassals. How much less shall our true Joshua fail those who trust in Him! We may be wanting in our trust, but our trust never can want success. Yet God's promises are not to slacken and do away, but to quicken and encourage our endeavours. Notice the great faith of Joshua, and the power of God answering it by the miraculous staying of the sun, that the day of Israel's victories might be made longer. Joshua acted on this occasion by impulse on his mind from the Spirit of God. It was not necessary that Joshua should speak, or the miracle be recorded, according to the modern terms of astronomy. The sun appeared to the Israelites over Gibeon, and the moon over the valley of Ajalon, and there they appeared to be stopped on their course for one whole day. Is any thing too hard for the Lord? forms a sufficient answer to ten thousand difficulties, which objectors have in every age started against the truth of God as revealed in his written word. Proclamation was hereby made to the neighbouring nations, Behold the works of the Lord, and say, What nation is there so great as Israel, who has God so nigh unto them?
Verses 15-27 None moved his tongue against any of the children of Israel. This shows their perfect safety. The kings were called to an account, as rebels against the Israel of God. Refuges of lies will but secure for God's judgment. God punished the abominable wickedness of these kings, the measure of whose iniquity was now full. And by this public act of justice, done upon these ringleaders of the Canaanites in sin, he would possess his people with the greater dread and detestation of the sins of the nations that God cast out from before them. Here is a type and figure of Christ's victories over the powers of darkness, and of believers' victories through him. In our spiritual conflicts we must not be satisfied with obtaining some important victory. We must pursue our scattered enemies, searching out the remains of sin as they rise up in our hearts, and thus pursue the conquest. In so doing, the Lord will afford light until the warfare be accomplished.
Verses 28-43 Joshua made speed in taking these cities. See what a great deal of work may be done in a little time, if we will be diligent, and improve our opportunities. God here showed his hatred of the idolatries and other abominations of which the Canaanites had been guilty, and shows us how great the provocation was, by the greatness of the destruction brought upon them. Here also was typified the destruction of all the enemies of the Lord Jesus, who, having slighted the riches of his grace, must for ever feel the weight of his wrath. The Lord fought for Israel. They could not have gotten the victory, if God had not undertaken the battle. We conquer when God fights for us; if he be for us, who can be against us?
Joshua 10:1-5 . FIVE KINGS WAR AGAINST GIBEON.
1. Adoni-zedek--"lord of righteousness"--nearly synonymous with Melchizedek, "king of righteousness." These names were common titles of the Jebusite kings.
Jerusalem--The original name, "Salem" ( Genesis 14:18 , Psalms 76:2 ), was superseded by that here given, which signifies "a peaceful possession," or "a vision of peace," in allusion, as some think, to the strikingly symbolic scene ( Genesis 22:14 ) represented on the mount whereon that city was afterwards built.
inhabitants of Gibeon had made peace with Israel, and were among them--that is, the Israelites; had made an alliance with that people, and acknowledging their supremacy, were living on terms of friendly intercourse with them.
2. they feared greatly--The dread inspired by the rapid conquests of the Israelites had been immensely increased by the fact of a state so populous and so strong as Gibeon having found it expedient to submit to the power and the terms of the invaders.
as one of the royal cities--Although itself a republic ( Joshua 9:3 ), it was large and well-fortified, like those places in which the chiefs of the country usually established their residence.
3, 4. Wherefore Adoni-zedek . . . sent, . . . saying, Come up unto me, and help me--A combined attack was meditated on Gibeon, with a view not only to punish its people for their desertion of the native cause, but by its overthrow to interpose a barrier to the farther inroads of the Israelites. This confederacy among the mountaineers of Southern Palestine was formed and headed by the king of Jerusalem, because his territory was most exposed to danger, Gibeon being only six miles distant, and because he evidently possessed some degree of pre-eminence over his royal neighbors.
5. the five kings of the Amorites--The settlement of this powerful and warlike tribe lay within the confines of Moab; but having also acquired extensive possessions on the southwest of the Jordan, their name, as the ruling power, seems to have been given to the region generally ( 2 Samuel 21:2 ), although Hebron was inhabited by Hittites or Hivites ( Joshua 11:19 ), and Jerusalem by Jebusites ( Joshua 15:63 ).
Joshua 10:6-9 . JOSHUA RESCUES IT.
6-8. the men of Gibeon sent unto Joshua--Their appeal was urgent and their claim to protection irresistible, on the ground, not only of kindness and sympathy, but of justice. In attacking the Canaanites, Joshua had received from God a general assurance of success ( Joshua 1:5 ). But the intelligence of so formidable a combination among the native princes seems to have depressed his mind with the anxious and dispiriting idea that it was a chastisement for the hasty and inconsiderate alliance entered into with the Gibeonites. It was evidently to be a struggle of life and death, not only to Gibeon, but to the Israelites. And in this view the divine communication that was made to him was seasonable and animating. He seems to have asked the counsel of God and received an answer, before setting out on the expedition.
9. Joshua therefore came upon them suddenly--This is explained in the following clause, where he is described as having accomplished, by a forced march of picked men, in one night, a distance of twenty-six miles, which, according to the slow pace of Eastern armies and caravans, had formerly been a three days' journey ( Joshua 9:17 ).
Joshua 10:10 Joshua 10:11 . GOD FIGHTS AGAINST THEM WITH HAILSTONES.
10, 11. the Lord discomfited them--Hebrew, "terrified," confounded the Amorite allies, probably by a fearful storm of lightning and thunder. So the word is usually employed ( 1 Samuel 7:10 , Psalms 18:13 , 144:6 ).
and slew them with a great slaughter at Gibeon--This refers to the attack of the Israelites upon the besiegers. It is evident that there had been much hard fighting around the heights of Gibeon, for the day was far spent before the enemy took to flight.
chased them along the way that goeth up to Beth-horon--that is, "the House of Caves," of which there are still traces existing. There were two contiguous villages of that name, upper and nether. Upper Beth-horon was nearest Gibeon--about ten miles distant, and approached by a gradual ascent through a long and precipitous ravine. This was the first stage of the flight. The fugitives had crossed the high ridge of Upper Beth-horon, and were in full flight down the descent to Beth-horon the Nether. The road between the two places is so rocky and rugged that there is a path made by means of steps cut in the rock [ROBINSON]. Down this pass Joshua continued his victorious rout. Here it was that the Lord interposed, assisting His people by means of a storm, which, having been probably gathering all day, burst with such irresistible fury, that "they were more which died with hailstones than they whom the children of Israel slew with the sword." The Oriental hailstorm is a terrific agent; the hailstones are masses of ice, large as walnuts, and sometimes as two fists; their prodigious size, and the violence with which they fall, make them always very injurious to property, and often fatal to life. The miraculous feature of this tempest, which fell on the Amorite army, was the entire preservation of the Israelites from its destructive ravages.
Joshua 10:12-15 . THE SUN AND MOON STAND STILL AT THE WORD OF JOSHUA.
12-15. Then spake Joshua to the Lord . . . and . . . he said in the sight of Israel, Sun, stand thou still . . . and thou, Moon--The inspired author here breaks off the thread of his history of this miraculous victory to introduce a quotation from an ancient poem, in which the mighty acts of that day were commemorated. The passage, which is parenthetical, contains a poetical description of the victory which was miraculously gained by the help of God, and forms an extract from "the book of Jasher," that is, "the upright"--an anthology, or collection of national songs, in honor of renowned and eminently pious heroes. The language of a poem is not to be literally interpreted; and therefore, when the sun and moon are personified, addressed as intelligent beings, and represented as standing still, the explanation is that the light of the sun and moon was supernaturally prolonged by the same laws of refraction and reflection that ordinarily cause the sun to appear above the horizon, when it is in reality below it [KEIL, BUSH]. Gibeon ("a hill") was now at the back of the Israelites, and the height would soon have intercepted the rays of the setting sun. The valley of Ajalon ("stags") was before them, and so near that it was sometimes called "the valley of Gibeon" ( Isaiah 28:21 ). It would seem, from Joshua 10:14 , that the command of Joshua was in reality a prayer to God for the performance of this miracle; and that, although the prayers of eminently good men like Moses often prevailed with God, never was there on any other occasion so astonishing a display of divine power made in behalf of His people, as in answer to the prayer of Joshua. Joshua 10:14 is the end of the quotation from Jasher; and it is necessary to notice this, as the fact described in it is recorded in due course, and the same words, by the sacred historian ( Joshua 10:43 ).
Joshua 10:16-27 . THE FIVE KINGS HANGED.
16-27. these five kings . . . hid themselves in a cave--Hebrew, "the cave."
at Makkedah--The pursuit was continued, without interruption, to Makkedah at the foot of the western mountains, where Joshua seems to have halted with the main body of his troops while a detachment was sent forward to scour the country in pursuit of the remaining stragglers, a few of whom succeeded in reaching the neighboring cities. The last act, probably the next day, was the disposal of the prisoners, among whom the five kings were consigned to the infamous doom of being slain ( Deuteronomy 20:16 Deuteronomy 20:17 ); and then their corpses were suspended on five trees till the evening.
24. put your feet upon the necks of these kings--not as a barbarous insult, but a symbolical action, expressive of a complete victory ( Deuteronomy 33:29 , Psalms 110:5 , Malachi 4:3 ).
Joshua 10:28-42 . SEVEN MORE KINGS CONQUERED.
28-42. that day Joshua took Makkedah--In this and the following verses is described the rapid succession of victory and extermination which swept the whole of southern Palestine into the hands of Israel. "All these kings and their land did Joshua take at one time, because the Lord God of Israel fought for Israel. And Joshua returned, and all Israel with him, unto the camp to Gilgal."

Tips to Get Your Child Excited About Math
Math is a subject of great divide: some kids love it, and other kids hate it! You can help make math fun by providing variety, engaging materials like fun math worksheets, and academic support. Try these tips to foster your child's love of math:
- Turn everyday activities into fun math practice. If your child is eating waffles for breakfast, see if he can divide a waffle into halves or quarters. Younger children might be able to count the number of waffle grooves while older children might be able to calculate the waffle's circumference.
- Make numbers a part of your everyday routine. Your child might not like addition, but he may enjoy counting the number of stop signs on the drive to school or the number of stairs on your porch. Lead by example to encourage your child to think of math exercises as a part of his daily routine.
- For kids that have a basic interest in math, try using daily riddles to keep them thinking throughout the day. At breakfast, you may ask your child a riddle like, "What number has three tens and four ones?" or, "What is a mathematician's favorite dessert?" Your child can take the day to think about the riddle and tell you the answer when you're working on math practice worksheets after school!
- Enrich your child's math education by keeping a set of fun math worksheets available. Some kids like to have quiet time to try new math concepts at their own pace. Encourage your child to practice with a new math worksheet for kids daily.

Handle any job with various cordless power tools from Sears
From DIY projects to commercial jobs, you need various cordless power tools to saw through wood or to screw in bolts. Sears provides the largest inventory of cordless power tools from Craftsman and other popular name brand manufacturers. Unlike corded power tools, which require an external power outlet, cordless tools feature rechargeable batteries that provide hours of constant use. As an example, the Craftsman Bolt-On cordless drill uses a 20-volt Lithium-ion battery that holds a charge longer than traditional NiCad batteries. Just like corded models, cordless tools have variable speeds and additional attachments that increase their functionality.
With add-on tools like an impact attachment or a hammer drill attachment, you transform an ordinary cordless drill into a brand new tool. You don't need any specialized tools to attach the add-ons. Just snap the attachment into place, and carry on with your project. Use the 2-speed hammer drill attachment on your Craftsman Bolt-On cordless power tool, or use the impact attachment to install and remove bolts. When you invest in sander and oscillating attachments, you convert your cordless drill into three tools in one.
Whether you have to install new door trim or molding, brad nailers help you place multiple nails quickly and efficiently. Choose from popular name brand models such as DeWalt and Hitachi, which feature both angled and straight brad nailers. With either model, you have a tool that releases up to five nails per second. If you want a professional look to your carpentry, then use a brad nailer to force finish nails into place without damaging the surrounding wood. Use an angled nailer if you have to set your nails at unusual angles or to reach tight spots.
Combine your cordless drills and add-on tools with cordless staplers from Arrow Fastener, and stock up on Craftsman stapler packs for your woodworking projects. Cordless staplers provide the same power as corded models, but you don't have to work around a long cord or stay plugged into an electrical outlet. Cordless staplers work well for installing carpet or tacking black paper to the exterior of your home before installing vinyl siding. Depending on your preference, cordless staplers come in varying sizes to accommodate the power and the staplers you need for the job.
Various cordless power tools come in handy for almost any home DIY project or professional carpentry job. Use add-on tools to improve your cordless tool's functionality, and extend your tool collection with brad nailers and cordless staplers. Check out Sears online for the biggest selection of the most popular name brand tools and accessories for all of your commercial and weekend projects.

Hi, my name is Hailey Bowers. I am from Charleston, South Carolina. Currently I am a psychology major here at Oglethorpe. After Oglethorpe I hope to further my education by going to law school. I came to Oglethorpe because I did not want to follow the same path as everyone else I knew. I wanted somewhere new and different, and Oglethorpe was it! I have the joy of playing on the tennis team, being part of the Chi Omega fraternity, and being a student ambassador here on campus. Fun Fact: I work on the plantation where The Notebook was filmed and where Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds were married.
Hello everyone! My name is Emily Christian. I am from Nashville, Tennessee. In high I was an event leader for the Mayor's Youth Council, where I gained a passion for non-profits and community growth. I am currently a sophomore majoring in Human Behavior and Human Resource Management and minoring in Non-Profit Management. I plan to work in a non-profit that focuses on empowering young girls.
I chose Oglethorpe University because I passionately believed in its mission of creating a learning experience that is not solely based in the classroom, and because of its focus on creating citizens of the world. I love being able to walk around campus and know the people I am passing on my way. My fun fact is that I worked as a camp counselor in Brevard, NC, for 11 weeks this summer.
Hello, my name is Kirsten Glaeser. I'm from Miami, FL, and I am a sociology major. I plan on continuing my education and going to graduate school after I graduate in the spring. I recently came back from studying abroad in England, which is one of the many things I love about Oglethorpe; its such a small yet diverse campus that has activities for all. The new Campus Center is also a bonus. A cool, fun fact: when I was younger, I once rode an elephant!
Hi, my name is Dona Kioseff and I am a junior at Oglethorpe. I'm from Valdosta, GA and found out about OU through athletics. Once I visited and interacted with students and staff, I knew this was where I wanted to spend my next four years. I am biology major and history minor, with a focus in pre-medicine. I am member of Greek Life, a cross country runner, an orientation leader, and president of Phi Delta Epsilon medical fraternity on campus. I enjoy running, golfing, science, history and spending time with my rabbit, Paula.
Hi, my name is Christian Locklayer. I am from McDonough, GA, and I transferred to Oglethorpe University in the fall of 2011. I love how Oglethorpe allows students access to become leaders on campus, producing an overall well-rounded student body. There are always "those students" who you know are involved in fifty different activities, make the Dean's List every semester, and they still manage to have a social life. I believe that Oglethorpe is where students come to thrive. My major is Studio Art with a concentration in Film and Photography, and I have a minor in Communications and Rhetoric Studies. In addition to being a Senior Interviewer, I am actively involved with the Center for Civic Engagement. I am also a Peer Academic Leader (P.A.L.), on the Student Judicial Board, and the Vice President of Thaakat. My future plans include becoming a screen writer for a multi-million dollar movie.
Hi my name is Danny Patton, and I graduated from Onteora High School in Woodstock, NY. My major is international relations with a minor in Spanish. In my spare time I enjoy being active by playing sports such as soccer and football. I have plans to study abroad in Brazil next fall because I am originally from Rio de Janeiro and I want to strengthen my Portuguese.
Hey y'all! My name is Ruwa Romman. I'm originally from Amman, Jordan, but moved to Georgia when I was eight years old. I am currently a junior here at Oglethorpe studying English and politics. I chose Oglethorpe because it was the perfect fit for me. The small class sizes and the direct interaction with professors really piqued my interest. What really brought me here, however, was the community. Everyone knows everyone, and the diversity is amazing. I have two more years to figure out what I want to do, but I am leaning towards law school.
Hi! My name is Lukas. I was born and raised in Europe. After going to an Austrian college for one year, I was supposed to go to Oglethorpe for only one semester but during the first month I realized how much I like it here, and decided to get my degree here. I am majoring in business and economics, and I am also doing many other things on campus. Besides my job as a Senior Interviewer, I am President of Chi Phi, on the Student Government Association, and several other organizations, clubs, and task forces. I am currently applying to several grad schools, and since I would love to stay here in the South, Duke and Emory are my top choices.
Hey, my name is Shiraz Wright-Hulett. I'm from right here in Atlanta, and I'm studying politics. I chose Oglethorpe because of the amazing study abroad opportunities that are offered here. Trips can be as short as two weeks to up to one year, and our partner institutions across the globe help make it affordable for students. I plan to go abroad next year, and pursue graduate school after graduation.
Hey y'all, my name is Corey Ray. I was born in Pearl, Mississippi and raised in Georgia. I'm a Senior majoring in international Studies. I chose Oglethorpe for its Core Program, and its great connection to the IB Program. I am a brother of the Chi Phi Fraternity and I studied abroad at our partner school in Istanbul, Turkey. I plan to go to graduate school and work on shaping American foreign policy.
Hi my name is Tiffany Ziminiak. I am a senior psychology major and a German minor. I am from Cumming, GA, and I graduated from South Forsyth High School. I chose Oglethorpe because the Core program made it stand out from every other school I was interested in. When I came to visit I knew I had to go to Oglethorpe because of how friendly and personal everyone was and how amazing the campus looked. I am looking at graduate schools , but I am still undecided about the direction I would like to go in. I would either like to attend a program for pharmacy, public health, or behavioral neuroscience. A fun fact about me is that my favorite things on campus are the two gingko trees located on the quad!

Donald Hall, in his prose book Remembering Poets (published 1978), in the section on Dylan Thomas, mentions Thomas's writing shed -- as I recall, Hall may have been in the shed at some point with Thomas. He talks a little about Thomas's method of writing (working through a poem, crossing out and rewriting one line at a time, from beginning to end).
I found Hall's book interesting in general. Besides Dylan Thomas, the book also includes detailed recollections of Robert Frost, Ezra Pound, and T.S. Eliot. - 11:27 PM, February 12, 2008

It is so funny you should mention that book. I have it. I found it at a used a bookstore and it's on my reading pile to read next week.
Synchronistic note!
Hi Deb & Valerie! - 7:45 AM, February 13, 2008
