Hey Mr DJ, you gotta put a record on yeah3 Reviews
"Morning," I said and went back to my article.
"Morning," he said and sipped his coffee.
"You come here a lot?"
"Almost everyday. I haven't seen you in here before."
"I've been staying at a hotel down the street, my apartment is being redone."
"Makes sense," he nodded and took another sip of his coffee. "So what do you do?"
"I'm a writer," I said and took a sip of my coffee and shut my laptop.
"I am too, well, I do a lot of things."
"Yeah, you're pretty good with a bass."
Pete smiled. "So you do know who I am."
"Well yeah, I mean, you're a pretty memorable person Mr Wentz." I teased, which caused him to laugh lightly.
"Well you're pretty memorable too Miss..." he trailed off.
"Berkeley." Haha sucker! Gotcha now!
"Berkeley," he repeated. His phone rang and he pulled it out of his pocket. "I'm sorry I've got to take this. See you later?"
"See you tomorrow Mr Wentz." I smiled as he got up.
"By Miss Berkeley." He smiled and answered his phone as he walked out of the Starbucks. Upon finishing my coffee I headed to work. Amy was sitting there eagerly waiting for me. Her eyes lit up when she noticed I had brought both of us Starbucks.
"YAY!" She giggled and took the coffee I handed her. "So, did you meet him?"
"Yep, I spilled his coffee yesterday and he came and sat with me today." I sipped my coffee and logged into my computer. Jesus I seriously need to clean my desk! I picked up some random papers and tossed them into a pile.
"Oh my god I am so jealous of you!" She oozes excitement and sits down on the edge of my cluttered desk. "Damn your desk is trashed!" She finally notices.
"I know, I can't even find my mouse," I lift more papers and finally find my mouse. "Please help me clean this mess." I begged Amy and we got to work on my desk. Amy cleaned most of it within a few minutes. "God I love you Aimes," I said and she hugged me. She really was an awesome friend and coworker.
"I love you too Aryn," she said. She called me by my real name because we met before I started working here. She actually helped get me the interview.
"So we need to find a way for me to bump into him in some other way."
"On it!" She said and rushed over to her desk to get to work. I began reading through my work emails. This was going to be a long day, I could feel it.
"Oh my god I cannot wait!" Amy said a few days later. We were heading out to a club where Pete and his crew of guys were rumored to be. By crew of guys we meant Patrick Stump, Gabe Saporta and Travis McCoy. They were all here to do something for some music thing. I didn't really pay attention to what it was and all I knew was that he was Deejaying.
"I just can't wait to dance. And remember, we are not supposed to make contact with them, they make contact with us." I said as I fixed the dress I was wearing. I decided to show off a little something, just not too much. Got to leave something to the imagination right?
"Got it," she said and continued applying her mascara. "So how do I look?" She posed and she looked amazing.
"I'd sleep with you," I said in a serious tone and she laughed. "What about me?" I did a little twirl in my dress.
"Hello Pete Wentz's rebound." She teased and I just laughed. Sadly this is what I was about to be, his rebound. Part of the job I guess.
When we go to the club it was packed and the line wrapped around the corner. No problem for us though, I knew every bouncer in town so we got in within seconds. Amy linked arms with me as I led her to the bar. Pete was up at the DJ stand doing his thing. I motioned towards Pete to let Amy know that we were definitely at the right place. We ordered some martinis and sat down at a table where Pete could catch a glimpse of me.
"We need to down these drinks so I don't feel so nervous," Amy said as she took a big sip of her drink.
"Just breathe," I laughed at her and sipped my martini. "So, there's lots of eye candy here." I smiled and looked around at all the guys.
"Yeah, he's yummy!" Amy said and smiled at some guy who was absolutely delicious that smiled back.
"Maybe we'll get free drinks." Might as well flirt, if Pete sees me then he'll know I didn't come here for him. Well, he'll think I didn't come here for him.
After a little bit, some guys had joined us at the table and bought us some drinks. They were a little creepy though, so we politely excused ourselves to the restroom and then stayed there for almost 15 minutes adjusting ourselves when we didn't need to. We soon ventured back out and didn't see those guys anywhere.
"Thank god, I think they're gone," I said and walked up to the bar with Amy.
"Two Miller Lites please," I said. Time to switch to something that's not so hard.
"Hey, put their drinks on our tab," a gentleman said. We turned to see Gabe Saporta smiling down to us. "Hi ladies, I'm Gabe." He held out his hand and shook both of ours.
"Hi Gabe, I'm Aryn and this is Amy."
"Hi," Amy said smiling wide. I could tell she was about to explode with excitement.
"Would you ladies like to join us. My friend is Deejaying, so we'd be up there." He pointed towards the DJ stand. It was obvious that he wasn't sent by Pete.
"Sounds like fun," Amy said and Gabe led the way. We sat down with Gabe at a table where Travis McCoy and Patrick were seated.
"Hey guys, this is Amy and Aryn. Girls this is Patrick and this is Travi." Gabe did the introductions and everyone shook hands. Pete walked over to the table and we instantly made eye contact.
"Hey Aryn," he said with a smile. Gabe looked confused and so did the rest of the guys.
"Hey Pete," I smiled back and I could tell all eyes were on us.
"What are you doing here?"
"Well Amy wanted to come to this club and your nice friend Gabe just bought us drinks."
"Well it's great to see you again," he said and took a sip of his presumably virgin drink.
"How do you guys know each other?"
"She dump my coffee on me at Starbucks like a week ago."
"I didn't dump it on you, I dumped it on the floor."
"You tried to kill me," he said.
"You're so dramatic," I laughed. I noticed that Amy was talking with Patrick about something and Gabe and Travi has moved onto entertaining themselves. Pete grabbed my hand and pulled me over to the DJ stand.
"Help me pick something out," he said and began flipping through his discs. He looked amazing tonight and it made me a little weak everytime he looked into my eyes. I think that the alcohol was affecting my senses. We settled on something, not sure what it was and after he put the disco on he turned to me. "You look amazing tonight," he said.
"Thanks." I think I was almost blushing. Damn those eyes and the alcohol.
"My friends are coming to my place after this if you want to join us? My set ends around 1."
"Yeah, that sounds like fun." And so it all begins and I hope the alcohol doesn't cloud my judgement too much because I feel as though I could fall for Peter Lewis Kingston Wentz III.

I will have your steaming heart, Ziebart, chargrilled with onions and lashings of mayo...
...but first a) I need to close this Earth rift, and b) I REALLY want a chargrilled chicken sandwich before I perform any (very messy) cardiac surgery.
Your heart will remain in the chest cavity for a time at least. But be warned.

TEAMS: Charlotte Hornets, Oklahoma City Thunder
There are blowouts, and then there are routs. And then there are lambastes. And then there are trounces. And then there are clobberings. Also thrashings. Whichever one of those you find to be most devastating, that's what the Thunder did to the Bobcats last night. As you can see if the photo above, OKC led by 54 at one point in the third quarter. 54! This game ended up at 114-69, so the Cats were able to bring it within 45, which is far from respectable. Although the Thunder were up by 40 at the half, so if you think about it the Bobcats only lost by five in the battle of the second half. But seriously, anytime Hasheem Thabeet plays enough minutes (27) to accumulate a double-double (13 and 10) you know the game wasn't even close to close. It comes at an odd time too as the Bobcats have moved somewhat into relevancy as of late, off to their strongest start in franchise history. They remain above .500 at 7-6 but they came out in this game looking like the old Bobcats we&...

Anglo Fan Favorites Semifinals
Vote in the Anglo Fan Favorites Tournament, Men of 2013: Round 2…
Before anyone panics, Benedict Cumberbatch has made our Round of 16 in our tournament of Anglophile fan favorites. But the odds-on favorite to winning it all was less than one percentage point from being out in the first round, which would unquestionably have been the greatest upset in the three years we've run this feature.
Our takeaway? Never underestimate the enduring devotion of Richard Armitage fans, who have, each year, impressed us with their amazing mobilization in support of their hero. They almost pulled off the unthinkable in testing the Cumberbabes. So there's no shame for Armitage in his defeat: he'll be a formidable presence for years to come.
Cumberbatch was our top vote-getter of last week, which means, according to our rules, he faces Andrew Garfield, who had the lowest vote total of Round 1′s winners. Does the Spider-Man star have the fan support to make this battle competitive, or will he be trounced? Meanwhile, Tom Hiddleston, David Tennant, Matt Smith, Martin Freeman, and others have all moved on the Round of 16. (Irishman Andrew Scott squeaked by John Barrowman in another nail-biter.)
Which eight will advance to next week's quarterfinals? That's up to you. As always, spread the word, call in reinforcements, and most importantly, VOTE!(Round 2 voting closes Thursday, August 8 at 11 am ET.)

BARCELONA, Spain, Feb. 25, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --Trend Micro Incorporated (TYO: 4704; TSE:4704), a global leader in consumer digital information security, continues to deliver on its promise to move beyond PC antivirus and establish itself as a major mobile security and utility player with its successful expansion of products and services in the mobile world.

- Androider.jp – The leading Japanese Android™ application review and information website is using Trend Micro Mobile App Reputation solution to pre-screen applications for irregularities and security issues
- LEGACY OF SUCCESS - Trend Micro is translating success in Japan to grow key markets such as the United States and Australia through the expansion of technology, products, partners and avenues to market. Currently Trend Micro's mobile security solution which goes by VirusBuster™ Mobile in Japan is:
- The 3rd highest grossing non-game app in Google Play globally**
- #1 in market share for mobile security in Japan***
- #1 most downloaded app in the KDDI AU Smart Pass service****

I agree with you. An "Elected Government Official" should not be receiving the type of salary and all the perks that go along with the position and still be immune from all the policies and taxes passed on to us, the tax payers that pay for all the salary and perks. And, oh while we are at it, I think President Obama can fire his personal attendant that waits from him to arrive in the movie room at any time of day to start a movie in the DVD player for him. What, is he not intelligent enough to push play.

OCEAN CITY, Md. - Over the weekend, 3,000 middle schoolers took over the Ocean City Convention Center.
It's all for the "Metro Maryland Youth For Christ" youth conference, which focuses on giving young people strength in their faith in a fun atmosphere. Youth For Christ officials said this focus on middle schoolers is more important than ever: many of the problems that were formerly high school problems are now prominent in every middle school across the country. This weekend's theme was "heroes."
"Everybody wants to have a hero, everybody wants a hero to come and rescue them," said Bob Arnold, executive director, MMYFC. "Really, all of us in our lives, no matter what we do, whether it's big or small, are called to be heroes with our life and make a difference."
In March, Impact Alive will be back in Ocean City: this time, focusing on high school students. Their theme "Beneath The Surface."

I happen to be from that area, and I must say I'm shocked and scared. My hometown is fine now, but who knows when and where the earthquake and typhoon is gonna strike next. 3 earthquakes in 2 days sound too much to be a coincidence. Thankfully, my guild in game showed support and kept asking me if I was ok, my family was ok, etc. This is one of the reasons I keep playing wow, even if I haven't met them (guildies) IRL.

Walt Sloan plays Mike Axford in The Green Hornet.
Walter Wesley Sloan (January 15, 1948) was born and raised in Chicago. He graduated J. Sterling Morton West high school in Berwyn, Illinois, where he played football, wrestled, and was on the baseball team. He gave up those sports during his junior year to compete in competitive artistic roller skating. From 1967 to 1970, he won six titles as a United States Amateur Roller Skating Association national figure skating champion.
Walt graduated the University of Illinois - Chicago in 1970 with a BS in Applied Physics and followed his father's footsteps into a career in engineering. He subsequently earned an MS in Metallurgy and Materials Science from Lehigh University in 1974 and an MBA in Finance from the University of Chicago in 1980. Walt is a published author in the Journal of Addictive Diseases, has eight patents in the fields of optical electronic instrumentation and electronic commerce, and is a member of Mensa.
In 1978, Walt began composing and performing song parodies, acting, singing, and playing the guitar and banjo at his company's monthly office meetings. This led to invitations to perform at his company's regional and national events. By 1984 he had performed for employee audiences of several hundred people from all over the country, at venues that included Marriott's Lincolnshire Resort and the Opryland Hotel in Nashville. In 1993 Walt made his first of over 20 appearances in community and professional theatre. In 2004 he ventured from theatre, performing as a featured extra in an episode of MTV's High School Stories. This was followed by extra work in two independent films. Since then he has had supporting or principal roles in more than thirty independent films, TV shows and pilots, and Internet web series. Walt appeared in his first national commercial during the broadcast of Super Bowl XLIV.
Walt sings bass/baritone for The Buckthorns, a mixed 13-member group that has been singing both a cappella and accompanied arrangements of popular songs in the Chicago area since 1996. Walt has been married for 38 years and has three children and two grandchildren.

Guilty Friday: When the Police Are Gone
On Guilty Friday last week, we brought you a mom who resorted to drastic measures when she found herself desperate to pee but without a bathroom in sight. As any resourceful, self-respecting mom would do, she shoved her daughter's diaper down her pants and relieved herself. Rather ingenious.
Well, this week, meet a woman who admits to what some might call a cardinal parenting sin. Can you guess what it is?
What do you think? Would you, or have you, ever done something as drastic as this?
Do you have guilty mommy moments you want to confess? Connect with other moms like you in momlogic's True Moms group.
No way, no how. My husband just reamed a lady last week because he noticed an SUV still running with two children inside in car seats. He was on the phone with 411 getting the non emergency police number when she finally came out. (20 + minutes, no windows so she could see her kids!)
He told her how irresponsible and dangerous her choice was and she simply thanked him for the "news flash"
So stupid. Convenience shouldn't take priority over the safety of your kids!!!!!!!!!!!! For a damn cup of coffee none the less? Gimme a break!
Angela: Good for your husband, I'm proud of him. Someone has to wake up these air headed bad parents.

Reader Comments (Page 1 of 1)
From a Lore perspective, how do DKs fit in with the Horde. This isn't a QQ about who or shouldn't have them, but rather when I did the quests starting the DK as Horde, we were killing the same people we did when I ran it as Alliance, and the only Horde person you killed was a part of the "A Special Surprise" quest. So it made the walk through Ogrimmar more annoying than anything compared to doing the walk through SW when you knew you deserved their hatred.
With the Forsaken, I can see why they would want revenge of course, but as for the rest it doesn't really make sense.
What did Arthas and the Scourge do that involved the Horde?
Think back to the Scourge's original purpose in WC3: it was to soften Azeroth up and pave the way for Archie and Friends to roflstomp the world. Obviously, the Legion didn't count on Arthas to /gquit and elope with Ner'zhul, but that doesn't change the fact that to avoid suspicion, Arthas made sure plenty of his fanclub were still at Hyjal trying to destroy Kalimdor and the rest of the world.
Plenty of non-Forsaken Horde died at the hands of the Scourge in the Third War, specifically at Hyjal. Maybe not to the extent that Lordaeron and Quel'thalas suffered (and I don't think anyone could argue that). But still, Orcs, Darkspears and Taurens died to them. FWIW, though, I don't think the DK Walk of Shame has nearly the same impact Hordeside as it does Alliance side, for this very reason. While you might run into an Orcish citizen or two in Orgrimmar who lost someone, the likelihood is much higher walking through Stormwind that you find someone who not only lost family to the Scourge, but *everything*. It's a shame that quest is so tied into Faction leader as opposed to racial leader, because Hordeside I think it would have far greater emotional impact if you had to walk through Silvermoon or even Undercity. Thrall should come after that, or he should send you to Sylvanas or Lor'themar. Whichever way, it's lame that the two Horde races most victimized by the Scourge don't really get a part in the Horde version of the quest line just because their respective Dude and Lady are not Warchief.

Growing up is not growing old
It's been a while since my last post, and it's about due time to get many unorganized thoughts, hopes, and dreams out of my head and into the universe.
I've spent the last 3 years since I graduated college working diligently, carefully, and very hard to become something that I spent most of my college career trying to achieve; a career in Addiction Treatment Counseling.
I find myself 3 years later likening my experience as a counselor to a scene in a movie near and dear to my heart, 500 DaysTom (Joseph Gordon Levit) is invited to his hopeless love Summer's (Zoey Daschannel) apartment for a party. The scene is split into two versions, "expectation" and "reality" where he imagines himself reconnecting with Summer and finding the love that he had always wanted with her. He is distraught after learning Summer has become engaged, and goes home; only to rekindle his passion for architecture and later find himself for what he truly is.
Addiction Treatment Counseling has become much the same for me. I have a love and passion for it, helping those in need, and the reward in doing so. However myself and the field are two things that are currently not meant to be. Instead of finding fire and fervor for something that I care deeply about, I find anxiety and disappointment around every bend.
As I walk up the preverbal stairs and enter Summer's apartment, I have found my expectation to be far off from where the reality of this profession lies. Being a youngster in the field, one must adhere to many expectations that are not congruent with a twenty-something's lifestyle, wants, or needs. At some point, I must have realized all of the stress that comes along with being a person whom directly influences the lives of others is something that I am not able to project with an honest and truly faithful heart at this time.
A career that helps people learn about themselves and become the best they can be to their families, employers, and most importantly themselves has taught me to do just that. I cannot pursue something that makes me feel as if I have sold my youth, social life, and countless other activities for a job in which I cannot completely subscribe to.
With this being said, it truly saddens me to leave a profession in which I've worked so hard to attain, but one must bow out when it no longer feels right and find another path to the fulfillment I am looking for in a career. Inevitably, I will return to the field. But with a few more years of life, experience, and a much straighter head on my shoulders.
Looking back on my experiences in the field have given me a true appreciation for what I have learned there, but more importantly what truly matters to me: music, writing, friends, and family. Having the energy (and free time) to focus on what I have realized are much more worth the focus has already given me much of the fulfillment that I had been seeking through my work. I have found my Autumn, and it is my twenties.

1994 Induction Ceremony
Some 15,000 fans gathered on July 31, 1994 to watch as the Hall of Fame greeted BBWAA elective Steve Carlton and Veteran's Committee selections Leo Durocher and Phil Rizzuto. New York Mets broadcaster Bob Murphy was given the Ford C. Frick award for broadcast excellence. Wendell Smith, Jackie Robinson's biographer, was presented with the J.G. Taylor Spink award for meritorious contributions to baseball writing.
STEVE CARLTON: In his first year on the ballot, Carlton nabbed 93.8 percent of the 465 ballots cast. The left hander was an extremely focused competitor with complete dedication to excellence. He won 329 career games while relying on a hard slider and a great fastball. Carlton was the first pitcher to win four Cy Young Awards, and he posted six 20-win seasons. From 1967 to 1984, Carlton won 10 games or more each season. As a member of the Philadelphia Phillies in 1972, he accounted for 27 of the team's 59 victories. He was a two-time World Series champion and won a Gold Glove Award in 1981. Over 24 seasons with six different teams, the 10-time All-Star totaled 4,136 strikeouts, second only to Nolan Ryan on the all-time list.
LEO DUROCHER: The Veterans' Committee elected Durocher, a slick-fielding, weak-hitting shortstop who gained notoriety for his managing career following his retirement. He employed a combative style and a fiery personality to become one of the most colorful and controversial managers in history. In 24 seasons as a manager for the Dodgers, Giants, Cubs and Astros, Durocher compiled 2,009 victories and won the 1954 World Series. He was named Manager of the Year three times by the Sporting News.
PHIL RIZZUTO: A Veteran's Committee selection, Rizzuto overcame his small stature to become one of the winningest shortstops in baseball history. He won seven World Series Championships as a member of the New York Yankees, including five straight from 1949-1953. Rizzuto was a solid fielder, and formed double play combinations with the likes of Joe Gordon, Billy Martin and others. He won the 1950 American League MVP Award, a year in which he excelled with a .324 average, 200 hits and a .439 slugging percentage.

8 ways lenders make student debt harder
Lots of people have horror stories about the tactics used by private lending companies. Here are some ways they make an already contentious issue even more so.
On first glance, the comments on Regulations.gov sound like those on any other forum for disgruntled customers: "The worst company I have ever dealt with," states Tim J. "Cold, calculated, corporate," laments Travis H. "Clueless robots," quips Donald, who refrains from giving even the first initial of his last name.
All three men could be talking about an unsympathetic cable company, a schedule-crippling airline, or –well, any retailer, really. But a continued scroll through the Regulations.gov comments creates a more ominous picture, one of a situation that is graver than sitting on the tarmac for an hour or two.
"Evil," says Simone.
"THEY ARE SATAN! I wouldn't wish them on my worst enemy," writes Edward B.
"I feel like I would have been better off borrowing money from the MOB!" says Ryan S.
Everyone from Tim J. through Ryan S. is talking about the same thing: the private student loan industry and the lenders who ensnare student borrowers into debt that often carries higher interest rates and fewer consumer protections than federally guaranteed and direct federal loans do.
It's no secret that student loan debt is a growing problem in the U.S. Recent data from the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) indicates total outstanding student loans are approaching $1.2 trillion, with $165 billion of that in the form of private, not federally backed, student loans. The Project On Student Debt estimates that two thirds of 2011 graduates had debt averaging $26,600; and that one third of graduates had private loans averaging $12,550.
If the numbers aren't bad enough, a recent report (.pdf file) from the CFPB paints an even uglier picture. After analyzing 3,800 consumer complaints sent to the consumer organization, the CFPB found that the private student loan industry is rife with problems: borrowers reported difficulty doing everything from verifying a payment was properly applied to receiving the correct payoff balance.
The worst offender was Sallie Mae by a large margin (the bank received 49% of all complaints, a number that is roughly equivalent to its market share); also racking up complaints were big banks like Wells Fargo (with 6% of all complaints), Discover Financial Services (6%), JP Morgan Chase (5%) and Citibank (3%). In a phone interview with Forbes, Sallie Mae's vice president for corporate communications Patricia Nash Christel noted that "more than 90% of private education loan customers are managing payments successfully." She said that for anyone experiencing difficulty, the bank offers "customized assistance, including modifications" on more than $1.4 billion on private education loans. "We're committed to working with regulators to continually improve our customers' experience," she added.
While not all of the other lenders were immediately available or willing to comment, more than one pointed to a statement put out by the Consumer Bankers Association (a bankers' trade group), which in part read:
"What remains a continued disappointment is the CFPB has ignored that over 86 percent of student loan borrowers have federal student loans. CBA believes the Bureau should help all consumers especially when federal loan portfolios carry a 14.7 percent three-year default rate. It appears these borrowers are under great duress since federal loans, unlike private loans, are funded without determining the borrower's ability to repay."
To be sure, problems abound in all aspects of the student loan industry: federal or private, taking money out or paying it back. However, based on conversations with the CFPB and other student loan experts, private student loans can come with a particularly annoying set of issues that can seriously hinder a borrower's ability to repay his or her debt, or worse. As Chris Lindstrom, the higher education director for the U.S. Public Interest Research Group (PIRG), puts it: "there are servicers and practices driving up debt" for people who are in good standing and simply trying to pay down a loan.
This is by no means a comprehensive list, but here are eight of the issues most commonly rendering student loan payback a real pain, and in some cases even costing borrowers extra money — along with some tips that may help overcome these issues.
Putting extra toward the principal, not the next month's payment
According to the CFPB's findings, problems can start the second a borrower wants to kick extra funds toward the principal balance in order to pay down debt faster. Borrowers who pay, say, $100 toward a loan with a $50 monthly minimum payment frequently find themselves wondering if the extra $50 went toward their original loan balance or if their lender is counting it as an "advanced payment."
"There is significant confusion about payment policies with regard to 'paid ahead' or 'advanced payment' status," the CFPB writes. "This raises questions for many borrowers as to whether funds have been held in order to satisfy a future payment or whether the servicer has actually applied the payment toward the principal balance."
Tax lawyer and Forbes contributor Kelly Erb (a.k.a. Taxgirl), experienced this confusion firsthand in June, but with a twist: she was trying to make a regular monthly payment, but the corresponding bill never came in the mail that month. So, she mailed her payment without that corresponding bill. What happened next was nothing short of an Abbott and Costello act.
"I get the next [month's] statement and it says I'm late. I called and they said they counted [the June payment] as an extra payment," Erb said. Yep, that's right: her lender said she didn't pay in June, but oh look she did pay ahead — in the exact amount due in June — for July. "They referred me to a line on my statement which says, 'you may be required to remit the full monthly amount even if your bills are paid ahead.'"
Erb eventually worked it out with the lender, but only after she wrote them a letter with the numbers of the check sent in June. As a lawyer, her advice for dealing with similar situations boils down to one thing: put everything in writing. Leave nothing to memory or hope that the lender has a good record of a phone conversation.
It also may be worth calling your lender and asking exactly how payments are applied. Nash Christel says that at Sallie Mae, the banks looks first at any fees you've incurred, then interest, and then the principal. "If you don't have any outstanding late fees and you're making your regular payments plus $100, for example, then the extra amount would go directly to the principal," she says.
Allocating the excess funds toward the loan with the highest interest rate
The problems for people who can afford to pay extra — and attempt to do so — don't end with the above principal/advanced payment kerfuffle. A basic tenet of personal finance and paying down debt is that paying down the debt with the highest interest rate will save a person the most money over time, so tackle the loan (or credit card) with the highest interest rate and work your way down. With private student loans, however, this can be difficult.
"A number of private student loan borrowers note significant difficulties when submitting a single payment to cover several loans associated with the same servicer. These borrowers claim that payments are generally not applied in a way that helps them to pay off their loans with the highest rates," the CFBP reports.
Andy Josuweit, CEO of loan-organizing website Student Loan Hero (for $5 per month it helps track all of your student loans), says that he's seen Student Loan Hero users struggle with this very issue — and in fact, it's one of the most common issues he's finding. "The biggest thing I'm seeing is users don't know how to accelerate payments. If you call [the lender] and tell them you want to split your payments, they might say it's not possible, mainly because they don't want to do the work," he says. Or, he allows, the person on the end of the phone might just not know how to put the extra $50 toward the loan with the 7.2% interest rate and not the loan with the 2.7% rate.
If you do want to make an extra payment toward one specific loan, Josuweit says that for most lenders, the best bet is to do it via snail mail — not online, and not over the phone. "You have to send a check in and specify in the check memo which loan you're paying down," he says.
Correctly timing payment processing
You know how you can submit that credit card payment online, the day it's due, and not get charged a cent? The same cannot be said for private student loans. "Consumers submit complaints reporting that they have been charged late fees, even when they submit a payment before the due date," the CFPB reports, noting that many consumers complained about the delay that exists between initiating a payment and when the payment is received from his or her bank account — a delay made all the more frustrating because of the myriad other payment transactions that can happen in real time. Unfortunately, the best way to handle this particular snag is to just make a note of it and make sure you're making payments in advance of the due date.

If the unpaid Policeman of the world, ie the US, stopped giving away tens of billions of taxpayer dollars to foreign countries every year, American students might have lower interest rates, or the infrastructure could be repaired without raising taxes.
"two thirds of 2011 graduates had debt averaging $26,600"
That's about the price of an average new car. As I drive past the parking lot of my local university I can't help but notice the number of students driving new cars and trucks that likely cost much more than their tuition. Is this really that much of a problem?
1. When I graduated, I had 14 loans total, both Gov and Private loans, which you cannot consolidate all together, so I had the lovely nightmare of figuring out what could be consolidated with what and where. I got it down to 4 loans, 1 I paid off in 3 months! :) That left 2 private loans and 1 with the gov., and minimum monthly payments totally nearly $600 a month, which sucks when you're working at a non-profit! One of the private loans was terrible, absolutely the worst part of this whole mess. Every 1-3 months they were changing providers and I had to create a new account and re-sign up for direct debit each time. None of my information or payment history would transfer, they changed the due dates, and would charge me late fees if I didn't have everything caught up, so even though I had been paying for 9 months, there was only a history for 1 month. Having to feel like my loan was constantly jumping around and having to give out my personal information to sketchy companies every few months was emotionally draining. Thankfully, I was able to get Wells Fargo to buy that loan and now I've been paying them back for almost 2 years. The interest rate is higher, BUT its a fixed rate, there's no penalty for paying ahead (which I currently am doing! :) , there's stability and a payment history, I can see exactly how much went to interest and how much went to principle. Its strange to say, but its actually fun to pay down this loan.
2. it wasn't until 6 month before I graduated that someone at my financial aid office asked why I didn't get a job with the school, b/c employees enjoy an 80% discount on tuition. ARE YOU EFFING KIDDING ME?? They all knew I hated my job and that all of my tuition was coming from loans, they could have saved me so many times and no one ever mentioned it??
3. I was working full time, making about 22k a year, I was an A student, I lived with family, and I filled out my FAFSA honestly. I never qualified for pell grants, but my classmates who all lived off government assistance, didn't work, lied on their forms and were happy to making Cs and Ds, all got free grants. I don't actually agree with free pell grants, but if they're going to be given out, it should be based on need AND effort, my As should have gotten me at least a little bit of help.
you can also goto collage. never get THAT JOB you dreamed about. because in real life.. your not in demand. thousands of us cant make a payment. so go get your edjumikation. just refuse payment. credit is nothing no more. you can still buy a house, car and everything else in life. just got to go....outside the box
What I found interesting is that my child does not need student loans to go to school but we applied for aid her freshman year just to see what would happen. She qualified for over $40,000 in student loans. Could you imagine if we were not educated what would happen if she had accepted those loans. I am sure she would have spent the money on more than a college education without realizing how hard it would be to repay it in the future. And this was for freshman year only. I can't imagine how much she could borrow on a yearly basis, but I'm sure it would be more than she really needs and it would be overwhelming to pay back if she accepted all that was offered.
The system is completely broken. Students who need money can't get it. Students who don't need it borrow too much. Administration is lacking and there is no financial education given to these kids. Thank goodness we are in a position that we are not in this mess. But it is not the students creating it, it is most definitely the lenders.

So... this comment kept bugging me, and I couldn't think why.. And then I went back and looked at what I wanted to do when I started Goat Island.
I wanted to make it my own, yes, but I was captivated by the beauty of the LAND... and I've completely changed that land. (Oops). I want to get back to the real goat island, only cleaner and greener. I can worry about incorporating into "my world" after I've done that. So, I'm starting over AGAIN, since somewhere along the way, I lost my inspiration. I think after I stopped looking at the photo, my mind was trying to make the falls more plausible with more cliffs... and the cliffs got more and more looming, and darker and more mysterious, until the land wasn't pretty at all.
Here's an aerial photo of Goat Island... this is what I'm trying to capture.
I've strayed so far from that...
So now I'm going to slow down, and take my time, and figure it out RIGHT

Not that it will help you, but native American folklore states that a giant snake lives in a cave under the falls - though I don't know if that was the American or Canadian falls (which side of Goat Island this applies). When I say giant, I mean over a hundred feet long...?

FORT WORTH — A slight cool-down is expected for the Dallas-Fort Worth area this weekend after a round of isolated thunderstorms Friday afternoon, but don't grab your fall sweaters from the closet just yet, a forecaster with the National Weather Service in Fort Worth cautioned.Highs may reach 95 degrees Friday with heat index temperatures feeling more like 98, the National Weather Service was forecasting. Forecasters are calling for a 30 percent chance of showers Friday afternoon with light winds. Some storms may be accompanied by cloud-to-ground lightning and winds gusting from 40-to-60 mph.But severe widespread storms are not in the forecast, said Nick Hampshire, a meteorologist at the National Weather Service's Fort Worth office.We get some relief Saturday and Sunday with high temperatures expected in the low 90s and lows in the low 70s, Hampshire said."It will cool down some this weekend but it could creep back up into the mid-90s again," Hampshire said. "It's probably a safe bet to say we've passed the time of year where we're going to see triple-digit temperatures in the forecast." Forecasters are calling for a 20 percent chance of rain on Monday.

Tag Archives: Iridium
What is "Iridium" ?
Iridium was discovered in 1803 among insoluble impurities in natural platinum. Smithson Tennant, the primary discoverer, named the iridium for the Greek goddess Iris, personification of the rainbow, because of the striking and diverse colors of its salts. Iridium is one of the rarest elements in the Earth's crust, with annual production and consumption of only three tonnes. 191Ir and 193Ir are the only two naturally occurring isotopes of iridium as well as the only stable isotopes; the latter is the more abundant of the two.
The most important iridium compounds in use are the salts and acids it forms with chlorine, though iridium also forms a number of organometallic compounds used in industrial catalysis, and in research. Iridium metal is employed when high corrosion resistance at high temperatures is needed, as in high-end spark plugs, crucibles for recrystallization of semiconductors at high temperatures, and electrodes for the production of chlorine in the chloralkali process. Iridium radioisotopes are used in some radioisotope thermoelectric generators.
Iridium's modulus of elasticity is the second-highest among the metals, only being surpassed by osmium. This, together with a high shear modulus and a very low figure for Poisson's ratio, indicate the high degree of stiffness and resistance to deformation that have rendered its fabrication into useful components a matter of great difficulty. Despite these limitations and iridium's high cost, a number of applications have developed where mechanical strength is an essential factor in some of the extremely severe conditions encountered in modern technology.
Iridium is the most corrosion-resistant metal known: it isn't attacked by almost any acid, aqua regia, molten metals or silicates at high temperatures. It can, however, be attacked by some molten salts, such as sodium cyanide and potassium cyanide, as well as oxygen and the halogens at higher temperatures.
Iridium forms compounds in oxidation states between −3 to +6; the most common oxidation states are +3 and +4. Well-characterized examples of the highest oxidation state are rare, but include IrF6 and two mixed oxides Sr2MgIrO6 and Sr2CaIrO6. In addition, it was reported in 2009 that iridium oxide (IrO4) was prepared under matrix isolation conditions (6 K in Ar) by UV irradiation of an iridium-peroxo complex. This species, however, isn't expected to be stable as a bulk solid at higher temperatures.
While no binary hydrides of iridium, IrxHy are known, complexes are known that contain IrH4−5 and IrH3−6, where iridium has the +1 and +3 oxidation states, respectively. The ternary hydride Mg6Ir2H11 is believed to contain both the IrH4−5 and the 18-electron IrH5−4 anion.
No monohalides or dihalides are known, whereas trihalides, IrX3, are known for all of the halogens. For oxidation states +4 and above, only the tetrafluoride, pentafluoride and hexafluoride are known. Iridium hexafluoride, IrF6, is a volatile and highly reactive yellow solid, composed of octahedral molecules. It decomposes in water and is reduced to IrF4, a crystalline solid, by iridium black. Iridium pentafluoride has similar properties but it is actually a tetramer, Ir4F20, formed by four corner-sharing octahedra.
The discovery of iridium is intertwined with that of platinum and the other metals of the platinum group. Native platinum used by ancient Ethiopians and by South American cultures always contained a small amount of the other platinum group metals, including iridium. Platinum reached Europe as platina, found in the 17th century by the Spanish conquerors in a region today known as the department of Chocx in Colombia. The discovery that the metal wasn't an alloy of known elements, but instead a distinct new element, didn't occur until 1748.
Chemists who studied platinum dissolved it in aqua regia to create soluble salts. They always observed a small amount of a dark, insoluble residue. Joseph Louis Proust thought that the residue was graphite. The French chemists Victor Collet-Descotils, Antoine Franxois, comte de Fourcroy, and Louis Nicolas Vauquelin also observed the black residue in 1803, but didn't obtain enough for further experiments.
In 1803, British scientist Smithson Tennant analyzed the insoluble residue and concluded that it must contain a new metal. Vauquelin treated the powder alternately with alkali and acids and obtained a volatile new oxide, which he believed to be of this new metal—which he named ptene, from the Greek word πτηνός ptēnxs, "winged". Tennant, who had the advantage of a much greater amount of residue, continued his research and identified the two previously undiscovered elements in the black residue, iridium and osmium. He obtained dark red crystals (probably of Na2[IrCl6]xnH2O) by a sequence of reactions with sodium hydroxide and hydrochloric acid. He named iridium after Iris (Ἶρις), the Greek winged goddess of the rainbow and the messenger of the Olympian gods, because many of the salts he obtained were strongly colored.[note 2] Discovery of the new elements was documented in a letter to the Royal Society on June 21, 1804.
In 1957 Rudolf Mxssbauer, in what has been called one of the "landmark experiments in twentieth century physics", discovered the resonant and recoil-free emission and absorption of gamma rays by atoms in a solid metal sample containing only 191Ir. This phenomenon, known as the Mxssbauer effect, and developed as Mxssbauer spectroscopy, has made important contributions to research in physics, chemistry, biochemistry, metallurgy, and mineralogy. Mxssbauer received the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1961, at the age 32, just three years after he published his discovery.
Iridium is found in nature as an uncombined element or in natural alloys; especially the iridium–osmium alloys, osmiridium, and iridiosmium (iridium rich). In the nickel and copper deposits the platinum group metals occur as sulfides (i.e. (Pt,Pd)S), tellurides (i.e. PtBiTe), antimonides (PdSb), and arsenides (i.e. PtAs2). In all of these compounds platinum is exchanged by a small amount of iridium and osmium. As with all of the platinum group metals, iridium can be found naturally in alloys with raw nickel or raw copper.
Within the Earth's crust, iridium is found at highest concentrations in three types of geologic structure: igneous deposits, impact craters, and deposits reworked from one of the former structures. The largest known primary reserves are in the Bushveld igneous complex in South Africa, though the large copper–nickel deposits near Norilsk in Russia, and the Sudbury Basin in Canada are also significant sources of iridium. Smaller reserves are found in the United States. Iridium is also found in secondary deposits, combined with platinum and other platinum group metals in alluvial deposits. The alluvial deposits used by pre-Columbian people in the Chocx Department of Colombia are still a source for platinum-group metals. As of 2003 the world reserves had not been estimated.
The Cretaceous–Paleogene boundary of 65 million years ago, marking the temporal border between the Cretaceous and Paleogene periods of geological time, was identified by a thin stratum of iridium-rich clay. A team led by Luis Alvarez proposed in 1980 an extraterrestrial origin for this iridium, attributing it to an asteroid or comet impact. Their theory, known as the Alvarez hypothesis, is now widely accepted to explain the demise of the dinosaurs. A large buried impact crater structure with an estimated age of about 65 million years was later identified under what is now the Yucatxn Peninsula. Dewey M. McLean and others argue that the iridium may have been of volcanic origin instead, as the Earth's core is rich in iridium, and active volcanoes such as Piton de la Fournaise, in the island of Rxunion, are still releasing iridium.
Iridium is obtained commercially as a by-product from nickel and copper mining and processing. During electrorefining of copper and nickel, noble metals such as silver, gold and the platinum group metals as well as selenium and tellurium settle to the bottom of the cell as anode mud, which forms the starting point for their extraction. To separate the metals, they must 1st be brought into solution. Several methods are available depending on the separation process and the composition of the mixture; two representative methods are fusion with sodium peroxide followed by dissolution in aqua regia, and dissolution in a mixture of chlorine with hydrochloric acid.
After it is dissolved, iridium is separated from the other platinum group metals by precipitating 2IrCl6 or by extracting IrCl2−6 with organic amines. The 1st method is similar to the procedure Tennant and Wollaston used for their separation. The 2nd method can be planned as continuous liquid–liquid extraction and is therefore more suitable for industrial scale production. In either case, the product is reduced using hydrogen, yielding the metal as a powder or sponge that can be treated using powder metallurgy techniques.
The price of iridium fluctuates considerably, as shown in the table, because of unstable supply, demand, speculation, and hoarding, amplified by the small size of the market and instability in the producing countries. The sharp decrease around 2003 has been related to the oversupply of Ir crucibles used for industrial growth of large single crystals.
The demand for iridium surged from 2.5 tonnes in 2009 to 10.4 tonnes in 2010, mostly because of electronics-related applications that saw a rise from 0.2 to 6 tonnes – iridium crucibles are commonly used for growing large high-quality single crystals, demand for which has increased sharply. This increase in iridium consumption is predicted to saturate due to accumulating stocks of crucibles, as happened earlier in the 2000s. Other major applications include spark plugs that consumed 0.78 tonnes of Ir in 2007, electrodes for the chloralkali process and chemical catalysts (0.75 t in 2007).
The high melting point, hardness and corrosion resistance of iridium and its alloys determine most of its applications. Iridium and especially iridium–platinum alloys or osmium–iridium alloys have a low wear and are used, for example, for multi-pored spinnerets, through which a plastic polymer melt is extruded to form fibers, such as rayon. Osmium–iridium is used for compass bearings and for balances.
Devices that must withstand extremely high temperatures are often made from iridium. For example, high-temperature crucibles made of iridium are used in the Czochralski process to produce oxide single-crystals for use in computer memory devices and in solid state lasers. The crystals, such as gadolinium gallium garnet and yttrium gallium garnet, are grown by melting pre-sintered charges of mixed oxides under oxidizing conditions at temperatures up to 2100 xC. Its resistance to arc erosion makes iridium alloys ideal for electrical contacts for spark plugs.
Iridium compounds are used as catalysts in the Cativa process for carbonylation of methanol to produce acetic acid.
The radioisotope iridium-192 is one of the two most important sources of energy for use in industrial γ-radiography for non-destructive testing of metals. Additionally, 192Ir is used as a source of gamma radiation for the treatment of cancer using brachytherapy, a form of radiotherapy where a sealed radioactive source is placed inside or next to the area requiring treatment. Specific treatments include high dose rate prostate brachytherapy, bilary duct brachytherapy, and intracavitary cervix brachytherapy.
An alloy of 90% platinum and 10% iridium was used in 1889 to construct the International Prototype Metre and kilogram mass, kept by the International Bureau of Weights and Measures near Paris. The meter bar was replaced as the definition of the fundamental unit of length in 1960 by a line in the atomic spectrum of krypton,[note 3] but the kilogram prototype is still the international standard of mass.
Iridium is used in particle physics for the production of antiprotons, a form of antimatter. Antiprotons are made by shooting a high-intensity proton beam at a conversion target, which needs to be made from a very high density material. Although tungsten may be used instead, iridium has the advantage of better stability under the shock waves induced by the temperature rise due to the incident beam.
