Such a pretty sight
What a glorious day
I think I'm alright
Just don't come here today
I'm taking all what's mine
There's just no time to waste
I know I'm doing fine
I'm letting go of hate
I'm right, I know I'm right
I'm right
You killed, you killed yourself
And it's not my fault
It's not my fault
You gave up on me
Like you gave up your life
Now I'm finally free
You won't be my wife

Kuala Lumpur: It's been a wild ride at the 2014 Sabah Open since Wednesday, after several fan-favorite have been knocked out of the competition. The first shock came on Wednesday when former Badminton Association of Malaysia (BAM) player Tan Chun Seang retired from his opening men's singles match to 18-year-old junior shuttler Soong Joo Ven.
KUALA LUMPUR: Before Tuesday, there's doubt whether Goh Soon Huat is good enough to play fourth men's singles in Malaysia Thomas Cup team.
KUALA LUMPUR: Former Malaysia national champion Misbun Ramdan Misbun is one game away to be eligible to play in the Thomas Cup Finals, when his first opponent Zulfadli Zulkiffli failed to show up for the second selection trial at the Juara Stadium in Bukit Kiara on Monday.
Ramdan will take on Goh Soon Huat on Tuesday and the winner will be the fourth member of the singles squad to the Thomas Cup Finals in New Delhi from May 18-25, together with Lee Chong Wei, Chong Wei Feng and Liew Daren.
Singapore: World No. 1 Datuk Lee Chong Wei got off to a perfect start in the Singapore Open as he beat the China-born Wei Nan of Hong Kong, 21-17, 21-15 in 40 minutes.
With world No. 2 Chen Long opting to skip the meet and several top players withdrew from the tournament, Lee Chong Wei has a very high chance of bagging Singapore Open as his fourth title of the year. The last time Chong Wei played in Singapore Open was six years ago, and he won the men's singles title that year. He will play China's Chen Yuekun in the second round.
KUALA LUMPUR, March 20 — World number one men's badminton player Datuk Lee Chong Wei is leaning towards Misbun Ramdan Misbun for the final spot in the the Thomas Cup team.
Chong Wei further explained that Ramdan has been pretty consistent in every tournaments he had participated, and is currently ranked 48th in the world.
Misbun Ramdan Misbun had asked for a two-day grace period for the Thomas Cup Finals selection trial as he had just arrived from Romania on Tuesday night after winning his first international title this year – at the Romanian International on Sunday. It was his fifth international crown since leaving BAM to become an independent player in January last year.
KUALA LUMPUR: The son of former Malaysia coach, Misbun Sidek - Misbun Ramdan Misbun won his firt international title of 2014 Adrian Dziolko of Poland 15-21, 21-18, 21-16 in the final of the Romanian International at Timisoara.
Including this, Misbun Ramdan Misbun had won 5 international title after he left Badminton Association of Malaysia (BAM) last January.
Ramdan is now ranked number 48 on the BWF ranking, and he participate in the one of the five independent players invited to compete in the Thomas Cup Finals selection trial soon. Ramdan was able to enter the main draw of the All-England 2014 before defeated by Chou Tien-chen 15-21, 10-21 to of Taiwan in the first round.
BIRMINGHAM: It was plain sailing for world No. 1 Lee Chong Wei and Chong Wei Feng in the first round of the All-England at the National Indoor Arena in Birmingham.
Chong Wei showed no ill effects of his ankle injury as he scored a comprehensive 21-15, 21-17 win over Thailand's Tanongsak Saensomboonsuk on Wednesday.
Over on the other court, world No. 16 Wei Feng, who has endured a torrid start to the year, put up a superb attacking display to pack off world No. 11 Marc Zwiebler of Germany 21-18, 21-19.
A third Malaysian shuttler was in the fray in the first round. However, Misbun Ramdan Misbun, who came through the qualifiers, went down to Taiwan's Chou Tien-chen 21-15, 21-10.
Target: World Championships and Olympic Games (2016-2020)
Name: Misbun Ramdan Misbun
DOB: 3/1/1991 (23 years old)
World ranking: 44
Assessment: Probably should not have left the national setup after winning the national title in 2012. Ramdan however has matured significantly and has been in good physical form too. He is also cool and calm like his father, Misbun Sidek. At 23, he should peak earliest compared to the rest.
BUKIT JALIL: Misbun Sidek could very well be making more appearances in tournaments held in Malaysia in the future.
The former national singles coach made his first official appearance in a tournament for the first time in three years since quitting his post from the Badminton Association of Malaysia (BAM).
Misbun, to the surprise of many, took one of the coaches' seats during his son Misbun Ramdan's second qualifying match against China's Gao Huan.
Fuelled by his father's presence, world No. 44 Ramdan mounted a furious comeback against the 24-year-old Gao Huan.
Unfortunately it was not enough as Ramdan went down fighting 9-21, 21-12, 17-21 in 57 minutes.
"I started too slow because this is a Super Series premier event and I was nervous," said Ramdan.

Flying to Europe is an extraordinary experience, especially for culture's lovers. Once in the old continent, there are so many places to visit and explore, that time is never enough to see it all.
Also, once in Europe it is easy to flight and visit other countries that are not listed as Europeans, but still well known and frequented by European travelers.
Turkey is very close to Europe and it is technically attached to it through Greece and Bulgaria. It is a dominant muslim country and works as a bridge between the Islamic culture and the European tradition. The best places to visit in Turkey are located on the West Coast.

INDEPENDENCE — LeBron James made a big decision Tuesday.
He'll make a much, much bigger one Thursday when he announces his free agent decision during an hour-long ESPN special that will begin at 9 p.m.
The Cavaliers and Chicago Bulls are considered the frontrunners, but the fact James has confirmed when he will announce his decision creates even more mystery and drama around the most-hyped free agent in NBA history.
Could close friend and fellow free agent Chris Bosh be coming to Cleveland through a sign-and-trade with the Toronto Raptors?
Has James decided to stay with the Cavaliers regardless of how that rumor plays out?
Is he leaving for Chicago — or somewhere else — after spending seven seasons playing up the road from his native Akron?
And where will James be when he reveals his decision on ESPN?
The two-time reigning league MVP didn't shed any light on those questions Tuesday, but he did activate a Twitter account.
James' first tweet had nothing to do with free agency. Instead, it dealt solely with introducing himself, LeBron style, to Twitter followers: "Hello World, the Real King James is in the Building."
Under the screen name KingJames, the 25-year-old had 83,000 followers before he posted that tweet and was up to almost 164,000 by Tuesday evening.
Basketball-related news regarding James, meanwhile, changed considerably throughout the day, culminating shortly after 10 p.m. with the announcement the superstar would reveal his decision on ESPN.
Earlier in the day, ESPN.com reported the Cavaliers and Raptors were talking pretty seriously about a sign-and-trade that would allow Bosh to make the maximum $125 million over six years, going so far as to mention Cleveland players that could possibly be involved — Anderson Varejao and/or J.J. Hickson, plus Delonte West, Anthony Parker and perhaps a draft pick — in the deal.
James was even supposedly trying to persuade Bosh, who can make a maximum of $96 million over five years if he signs directly with another team, to join him in Cleveland via a sign-and-trade.
Those rumors had cooled considerably by evening, with SI.com going so far as to report Bosh had ruled out a sign-and-trade with the Cavaliers.
According to a source, the truth is somewhere in the middle: The Cavaliers and Raptors have talked, but nothing specific has been discussed, as Bosh is also still considering Miami and Chicago.
There were several other rumors involving the Cavaliers, with a source confirming they had interest in Phoenix combo guard Leandro Barbosa, free agent sharpshooter Mike Miller and free agent big man Brendan Haywood.
The Cavaliers have only the full mid-level exception of about $5.5 million to offer free agents, but their own unrestricted free agent, Shaquille O'Neal, could play a key role in helping them acquire another player.
Dallas officials have said the team doesn't want to sign Haywood, who was originally drafted by the Cavaliers, simply to trade him, but O'Neal has made some noise about wanting to play for the Mavericks, so it's not out of the question the two centers could end up changing teams.
Though he is looking for more money, Miller could sign for the mid-level — or the Cavaliers could use O'Neal in a sign-and-trade with Washington. Miller was in Akron earlier this week for James' Nike-sponsored skills academy for high school and college stars.
Cleveland was reportedly shopping Jamario Moon and West for Barbosa, a lightning-quick combo guard who doesn't always take great shots. Barbosa has spent the majority of his career backing up Steve Nash.
As for James, he showed up at the University of Akron about four hours later than expected for his skills academy and once again did not talk to the media.
The 6-foot-8, 250-pound small forward, who appeared to be in excellent shape when he took part in a pickup game on Monday, arrived in a juiced-up Dodge pickup truck and walked into Rhodes Arena with former Cleveland teammate Damon Jones.
Organizers asked media members to leave late in the afternoon, soon after James arrived.
Cavaliers players Moon, Daniel Gibson and Jawad Williams were also on hand, as was 2009 first-round pick Christian Eyenga, who spent last season playing in Spain.

Neptune has a double connotation because it rules the imagination, which can be reflective of one's mental health. As being one of the slowest moving planets, the time spent in any given sign is generational. Because of this, I will cover Neptune in the houses.
Neptune in 1st Having Neptune in the Ascendant makes one very dependent on their intuition as well as imagination. When they listen to their inner voice, it usually guides them correctly.
Neptune in 2nd What one values when it comes to Neptune is important, however, caution must be taken when dealing with speculative financial endeavors or get-rich-quick schemes.
Neptune in 3rd Communication with family, friends and people met on a daily basis is colored with imagination, just be aware that not everyone understands lofty dialogue.
Neptune in 4th Home, family and parents can have some aspects of delusion. There is a strong karmic lean with regard to parental expectations, which often involves secrets and mysteries.
Neptune in 5th Is a beneficial place for this planet since this is the house of creation, recreation and procreation. Fantasy, Sci-Fi and Mystery writers with this placement would be prolific.
Neptune in 6th Service to the community, physical health and general employment as well as the spiritual sense of giving back is influenced. There may be many work positions and some disease that is hard to diagnose if afflicted.
Neptune in 7th As the first of the social houses, Neptune in 7 could mean a karmic union – business, marital, legal – that cannot be taken at face value. Don't let emotional confusion cloud better judgment.
Neptune in 8th There is intuition, even clairvoyant abilities and sometimes a fascination with the occult and affairs of the dead. If the placement is afflicted, one may fall victim to negative influences.
Neptune in 9th Fascination with mystical forms of religion as well as people and languages from other countries. Travel, even education or religious instruction would be beneficial.
Neptune in 10th The influence of Neptune in the Midheaven involves the career, and if the planet is afflicted, the imagined rise may be a real crash and burn or scandal if one has been deceptive with peers.
Neptune in 11th This house represents spiritual links between social networks, group associates and close friends. If the planet is well aspected, the circle benefits. If afflicted, unsavory associations may negatively influence the individual.
Neptune in 12th Because the 12th house traditionally represents "self-undoing" Neptune here would indicate mental disorders, or neurotic preoccupation with the past. If well aspected, artistic ability is present. There is an intuitive link to the unconscious.
The next lecture LINCGR of Long Island will be Integral Astrology with speaker Armand Diaz, PhD. on March 14th, 2014 at 302 Sycamore Avenue (Bonnie's home) in Merrick at 7:30pm. It's $10 for members and $15 for non-members. For directions and other information: contact

Here we go again another book on how to become a more creative artist. Except this one is a little different than any other book I've ever read. For one it is a shorter and more to the point than other books in the genre. For another thing it does not have any exercises to get the creative juices flowing. You know the kind I'm talking about, "If you had a favorite dog, write about what made the dog your favorite," and so on.
There is a lot to cover about this so let's get started.
In his book 'Steal Like an Artist' author Austin Kleon looks at the "selective borrowing" side of being an artist. He states, "What a good artist understands is that nothing comes from nowhere. All creative work builds on what came before. Nothing is completely original."
He goes on to say, "It's right there in the Bible: "There is nothing now under the sun." (Ecclesiastes 1:9)
The rest of the book is dedicated to the fact that an artist (no matter what form of art it is, writing, painting, music or acting) is a collector, who take bits and pieces of what they love and incorporate that into their art. Kleon also advises every artist to carry a notebook, sketchbook, or smart phone where ideas can be recorded when they pop into your head.
In another part of the book Kleon tells the budding artist to learn to copying their heroes, 'the people you, the people you're inspired by, the people you want be." The idea of copying is not to plagiarize another's work but to learn from them and then use what you learn to grow as artist. I have used this technique in the past when I wanted to expand my writing into a new genre like fantasy or romance.
I found this to be a great book, not so much as a strict how to book on creativity, but a book which after reading it once, twice, as many times as necessary, will help any artist take their creative instincts and expand them to a new level.
Get out there and borrow or better yet buy this book, in paper form if possible, so you can make notes in it. Happy reading.
Also if you're into it read Kleon's companion book, "Show Your Work."

July 31, 1999
Winnipeg, Canada - UCLA volunteer assistant coach Lisa Fernandez (Long Beach, Calif.) pitched a no-hitter to lead the USA Softball Women's National Team to a 5-0 victory over Cuba in pool play of the Pan American Games at John Blumberg Softball Complex. With the win, USA improves to 4-0 while Cuba falls to 4-1.
Fernandez struck out 15 batters for the game and had a perfect game going until issuing a full-count walk to L. Medina with one out in the fourth inning. Fernandez struck out the next two batters, leaving Medina stranded.
"Obviously I was disappointed that I walked someone," Fernandez said. "When you get in that situation and your team is up by four runs, you hate to give someone a free pass. I think that was the downer of the whole game, but Stacey Nuveman (UCLA/LaVerne, Calif.) did a great job behind the plate, mixing up the pitches and keeping Cuba off balance."
USA got on the scoreboard in the second inning, scoring four runs on four hits and one Cuba error. Michele Smith (Califon, N.J.) led off with a single to center field and advanced to second on a sacrifice bunt by former Bruin Jennifer Brundage (Irvine, Calif.). Nuveman's fly ball was dropped by the center fielder for an error, allowing Smith to score and Nuveman to advance to second. Leah O'Brien-Amico (Chino, Calif.) followed with a single to left center and advanced to second as Nuveman beat the throw to the plate. Former UCLA star Dot Richardson (Orlando, Fla.) hit a double to center and O'Brien-Amico advanced to third. Laura Berg (Santa Fe Springs, Calif.) then lined a ball off the pitcher's leg. The ball ricocheted to right field, allowing O'Brien-Amico and Richardson to score.
USA added a run in the fifth inning as Nuveman reached first on a Cuba fielding error and scored on Richardson's one-out triple down the left line.
USA collected eight hits on the night with Richardson, Berg and Christie Ambrosi (UCLA/Overland Park, Kan.) posting two hits apiece. Berg also recorded a team-high two RBI in the win.
"I think overall we played our game for a change," USA head coach Ralph Raymond said. "Coming out and beating a club like Cuba and Lisa throwing a no-hitter is the type of game that we need to continue to play."
USA, which has captured the gold medals at the last three Pan American Games and has won 34-consecutive games in Pan Am Games competition dating back to 1987, resumes pool play Sunday, facing the Bahamas at 1 p.m. and host Canada at 8 p.m.

TC TO LADY ASHBURTON; 27 October 1851; DOI: 10.1215/lt-18511027-TC-LA-01; CL 26: 217-218
Chelsea, 27 Octr, 1851—
Dear Lady,— We are in a very dark state here; nearly altogether silent, given up to our own thoughts, such as they may be in this decadent state of the year and of the world;—and I can write you nothing that is not worse than blank paper: that is literally my sad predicament; with which let me not sadden you, and degrade myself, by complaining about it. Under all the cataracts of Avernus,1 I have a kind of feeling that I am not yet drowned; a kind of notion that I shall not and will not drown, or lie dead altogether: in this humour let me strive, and silently give me your blessing,—as indeed it is almost my one blessedness at present to know that you do; Heaven reward you for that same! And if any thought of yours pretend to whisper that I have forgotten or am like to forget you, be so kind as inform said thought that it is infinitely mistaken, and had better hold its peace in time coming, for that I only too well remember you, and that (by act magic or otherwise) you are painted very sufficiently bright in my poor spellbound and spectre-haunted imagination; the one glow of radiancy that still looks of Heaven to me, on a ground which is black and waste as the realms of Phlegethon and Styx,2 and which sets you off (I can assure you) to great advantage, whatever else it do!— And so let that rest also; and let the strenuous human soul work out its passage thro' the jungle the best it may, and not sink beyond the lips if that can be helped.
In general, as above hinted, I avoid all people; greatly prefer not to be spoken to, so long as there is so little wisdom sincerity or worth in speech: I have therefore no news for you, or such only as are patent to all the world, and cannot be of the least interest except for forgetting, which truly is a duty we owe to many things. I spend all my time in reading, in annotating; walk twice a day; study to tread on nobody's toes,—and yet one does, unconsciously, involuntarily; and other people do on ours to an almost intolerable extent!— My last Book was an old heavy Life of Captain Cook, by a certain dull Dr Kippis;3 rather an abridgt of Cook's Voyages than any perceptible account of his Life, which must however have been a remarkable one, could any glimpse of it be got. Clearly a braver man than is made above four or five times in a generation. There is much in the Book about your Great–grandfather, the dissolute Earl, whose nickname whh I have heard from yourself and others I have now forgotten.4 It struck me forcibly this Ld of the Admiralty was to appearance possessed of certain most important virtues withal; that probably the virtues much preponderated if we cd judge him as the gods judged,—and that in brief our present judgt of him was not of the gods at all, but of the mere ribalds and mutinous street populace!— I daresay there must be Letters of Cook, for one thing, still at Hinchinbrook?5 If I were Lord Sandwich, I wd have some order taken with what memorials there are of this ancestor. And as for the First Earl, Oliver's Ironside, and clearly a noble and able man,6—that oblivion, I must say, is not very pious on the part of his descendants! But, after all, "what can one do?" "What" &c &c? I know the heavy intricacy of these questions too, in a time like ours, in a state of manners (aristocratic and other) like ours. Alas, alas!— If you can remember when you go to Alverstoke, will you ask Croker if there is any descendant of Cook now alive that he knows of? and if so what or where?7 Let us turn the unfortunate Croker to this account (as even from Badgers one can make excellt shaving-brushes); and keep it in mind for me when we meet.
I called twice for Lady Sandwich, but both times in vain; my wife was with me the first time:—I like well to think of your frail old Mother as in England and among friends just now, rather than at Paris amid jangling Ape—populations, waiting for the advent of Ledru. Mazzini persists that there is no doubt of his arriving at the presidency. Which truly I shall be rather glad of: the maximum of Sansculottism, let us have it, since our hand is in! Jane has got Italian lessons for poor Saffi the Roman Ex-Triumvir, which truly was a fortunate achievement. I have seen no sadder milder-minded more priest-like young man than this Head of the Revolutionists, who has now got 20 shillings a week to rejoice over!— — Thackeray was here one night; going to Edinr with his Lectures in December; then to Yankeeland with do: having first published a Novel in 3 volumes; and so smitten heartily on the big drum. For myself I am yet writing nothing: God help me!— But enough. I mean to write again by and by. No answer! God bless you.

Who Is Thomas Frieden?
Thomas Frieden, who set an aggressive public-health agenda during his seven years running the New York City health department, will be the next head of the CDC.
To the extent New Yorkers know who Frieden is at all, they largely know him for his push to address lifestyle issues associated with disease.
He helped implement the city's smoking ban in bars and restaurants, and pushed to ban trans-fats in restaurants and require calorie-counts on menus. More recently, he's been campaigning for restaurants and packaged-food makers to cut the level of sodium in their products. Supporters liked his innovative approach to move public health beyond its traditional boundaries; critics suggested it was the work of an overly intrusive nanny state.
With the outbreak of H1N1 flu affecting New York in particular, Frieden (pictured above with NYC Mayor Michael Bloomberg) has been squarely in the spotlight (see this post for the latest on the city's flu cases).
Frieden, 48 years old, went to med school at Columbia, where he also got a degree in public health, according to this official bio. He did a residency at Columbia, and trained in infectious diseases at Yale.
Before he ran the city's public health department, he spent five years in India, where he worked on tuberculosis-control efforts.
It's been clear for a while that Frieden was in the running for the job; the WSJ put him on a short list of contenders in January. Here are stories on his appointment from the New York Times and the Associated Press. The appointment doesn't require Senate confirmation.
President Obama has turned to veterans of the NYC health department before, tapping Margaret "Peggy" Hamburg in March to become head of the FDA. Her nomination cleared a Senate committee this week but she awaits a confirmation vote by the full Senate.

Today, the Washington Post's Emma Brown has a terribly sad article describing efforts by the Washington Teachers' Union to block attempts by DCPS Chancellor Henderson to bring a longer school day to 42 of her schools. The reporter states that an extended school day has been shown to mostly result in higher standardized test scores in the eight facilities were it has already been tried.
The union has told its members to vote "no" on a ballot that must take place among teachers at a school before increased time in the classroom for kids can go forward at that site. The head of the union, Elizabeth Davis, is insisting that an extended school day must be part of the negotiations over a new teachers' contract. Ms. Brown indicates that the previous contract expired in 2012 and that a new one is no where close to being agreed upon.
It should now be abundantly clear to everyone that is watching this story unfold the reason Ms. Henderson has floated the idea that she be allowed to charter her own schools. Charters have complete control over the length of the school day and year. This type of autonomy is crucially important. As I pointed out in a previous column:
"District public charter schools' on time high-school graduation rate is 21 percentage points higher than the D.C. public schools' average. D.C. charter students also outperform their DCPS peers on the city's standardized math and reading tests in all Wards except Ward 3, where there are no charters. Charters' superior academic performance is even more pronounced in wards seven and eight, where charter students score on average 19 percentage points higher in reading and 25 points higher in math on D.C.'s standardized test."
Ms. Brown goes on to explain that 16 traditional schools will implement some portion of a longer school day utilizing those teachers who have volunteered to work longer hours. These individuals are heroes for our children and shine a bright light on the fact that the teachers' union is all about the needs of adults instead of the kids.

This is one of my favorite stories and was originally published Nov. 7, 2011 on examiner.com. It's been updated.
Consider these scenarios:
• Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers fires a 40-yard touchdown pass on the game's final play to allow the Packers to squeak past arch-rival Chicago Bears. The Bears' defenders rush over to Rodgers and swarm him with congratulations and chest bumps.
• Kobe Bryant of the Los Angeles Lakers throws up a desperation 30-foot, three-point shot with two Boston Celtics draped around him and the ball swishes through the net to give Los Angeles a stunning comeback victory. Boston's players hug Bryant and give him high-fives.
• Albert Pujols of the Los Angeles Angels blasts a grand slam homer in the ninth inning of the seventh game of the World Series to give the Angels a walk-off victory over the St. Louis Cardinals. The Cardinals' players join the Angels' celebration by giving the Los Angeles designated hitter a standing ovation.
Those scenarios may seem farfetched but consider what actually took place during a game in a Los Angeles bowling league:
Tom Martino, bowling anchor for his team, scored his second straight strike in the ninth frame of the final game to seal his team's victory in the hotly contested match.
After the game-winning strike, a teammate wrapped his arms around Martino and gave him a huge victory hug. At the same time, all four members of the opposing team stood and clapped their hands and a couple of them came over to give Martino a congratulatory fist bump.
Martino then took his seat, awash in praise and beaming over his clutch shot.
Similar joyous celebrations are a common event in bowling circles.
In fact, each time a bowler converts a shot – whether it's a strike or a spare – he or she is typically showered with praise and receives some kind of congratulatory hand tap.
Even when a player rolls an inspiring shot that proves unsuccessful – such as narrowly failing to convert a split – opponents treat the shot as if it were on the mark and rain down a chorus of "good tries" on the bowler.
So are bowlers the world's greatest sportsmen?
Martino, a Chatsworth resident who has bowled in leagues for more than 10 years, frankly said "I don't think so. I think it's [congratulations] more of a front. It's so competitive. People want to win."
Martino pointed out that there typically is a cash incentive for teams to fare well in league play – and defeat their opponents during the regular season.
At the end of the season, teams are rewarded with a payoff that hinges on their ranking in the final standings.
Still, Martino concedes that the bulk of the congratulations is legitimate.
"A good 60 to 70 percent is genuine," Martino said. "About 20 to 30 percent is disingenuous. They do it out of respect for the other players."
Martino, who averages in the 160s, typically goes out of his way to applaud his opponents' good shots. He says it's all part of the camaraderie that is frequently prevalent among bowlers.
"That's the part I like," said Martino about the camaraderie. "I like to see people do well. I am a good sport because when I'm in the car [after the match], I forget about it. But when I'm bowling, I want to win."

GENRE: Paranormal, Horror
Two chilling novellas of horror by Peter Giglio and Catherine Cavendish… Cold Revenge Some dinner invitations are best ignored… For no apparent reason, Nadine, Maggie, Gary, and Nick are invited to dinner at the lavish home of top fashion writer, Erin Dartford. But why has she invited them? Why doesn't she want her guests to mingle? And just what is it about the mysterious Erin that makes them want to run for their lives?

Edie is not merely a vampire, she's a Goddess…one of the vanishing race of beings the vampires need to keep their kind alive. But being dead has taught her much about life, and Edie's determined to destroy the evil thing she's become. For something has changed within her, something almost alive in her dead soul. But can a single spark in the darkness be enough to save all she holds dear? (Goodreads)
REVIEWER: Becs
COLD SPARKS is a book containing two short stories A SPARK IN THE DARKNESS by Peter Giglio and COLD REVENGE by Catherine Cavendish. Both stories are written from several different points of view as the author gives each of the main characters a chapter or two to tell their story that contribute to the whole.
A SPARK IN THE DARKNESS by Peter Giglio
A SPARK IN THE DARKNESS starts off at a slow pace with Edie, the main protagonist pondering her life, reflecting on how much she is wasting it and taking no responsibility at the hurt she has left in her path. Edie needing more money sits in a seedy club, to hitchhike her way to find her ex-husband Colin, to try and take advantage of him some more. Then Randy, a good looking, smartly dressed man offers Edie some company and a drink. Edie thinking that her luck is about to change takes Randy up on his offer for a ride and jumps into the plush lorry cab, where Randy turns out to be more than what he appeared to be.
Up to this point the story was line was very slow paced and a little dull, I guess to make the impact of the gruesome vampire Peter Giglio creates a much greater surprise, which worked. The viciousness and description of the attack made me gasp in shock and reminded me of the vampire monsters in Blade 2, A SPARK IN THE DARKNESS picked up after the vampires were introduced and as Edie comes to terms with her new existence.
Edie now dead realises how good her life actually was and wants it back, and the rest of the story is about Edie trying to protect that which she now holds dear. I did like how Edie's personality evolved, from never truly living and appreciating what she had to dying and fighting for those things she never appreciated.
We meet a few different characters in A SPARK IN THE DARKNESS and my favourite is a courageous, young boy, Tim who can see through the vampire façade, a vampire hunter in the making and one of his lines made me laugh, only because I'm one of those girls.
It was scary that girls at school had romantic notions about vampires-things they'd picked up from books and movies. He tried to talk sense into them, to make them understand the truth. But no matter how hard he tried, they just wouldn't shake their beloved delusions.
COLD REVENGE by Catherine Cavendish
An intimate dinner party with an exclusive host in a beautiful mansion, what could go wrong? Four couples are invited to dinner with a top fashion editor Erin Dartford however, one of each of the couples is hiding a dark secret and since receiving the invite their secret seems to be playing on their conscience.
The majority of the characters seemed shallow and vain, stepping on people to claw themselves to the top of their careers, feeling no guilt towards the destruction left in their wake. I found it difficult to connect with the characters and thought that when this dinner goes pair shaped, they would get their just desserts.
On arriving at the intimidating, luxurious mansion, Erin welcomes the couples but avoids introducing them to the other guests, also Erin gives off an aura of foreboding and the atmosphere is tense and uncertain as some of the guests hiding a secret, begin to hear the voice and see the ghost of the person they were responsible for destroying.
Scared, uncomfortable and unable to explain their desire to leave, they sit down to an amazing cold starter, which has been individually prepared for each guest. Erin has somehow picked the guests favourite starter, if she knows that, could she know anything else?
My tummy did give a little growl at the description of food on offer, so I wondered what my favourite starter would be. I decided that I lacked any grand dining experience, so it would be a simple TGI Fridays, Jack Daniel's Glazed wings. With what came after the starter, I think I'd be happy to give it a miss.
The cost of revenge was high and only one person from the party was able to keep their soul intact, as she did not allow the desire for revenge to consume her.
Stephanie shook her head. "No, Mel. Yours was a righteous anger. Theirs was pure hate. The difference is the price of your soul."
I wasn't overly impressed with COLD SPARKS, although, I did like the message in each of the novella's. First with A SPARK IN THE DARKNESS, where Edie through her experiences only realising what she had after it was gone. It was the story that made me gasp in surprise. Whereas COLD REVENGE focused on allowing feelings of hate and revenge to overrule your life, consuming any hope of happiness, thrusting you down into the pit of hell. Both thought provoking, yet lacking in pace and didn't provide the tense scare that I was hoping for.

You'll have to wait to see for sure when the interview airs later this week. Because the whole point of this pseudo-event is, in the end, really just about drumming up television ratings.

The Oprahpocalypse is upon us. On Wednesday, Oprah Winfrey made her final speech in a farewell sequence that has spanned several months since her announcement that she was pulling the plug on "The Oprah Winfrey Show." Great, but did she give away any cars?

Rather than isolating the original Riders' troubled and painful history to fleeting commemorations or to the realms of amnesia and denial, the 2011 Freedom Ride declares precisely the opposite: that history is alive, ongoing and real.
The holiday season is in full swing, as evidenced by such familiar signs as relentless media-enabled appeals to base consumer urges, assorted gatherings of people who may or may not be happy to be in each others' presence, candles, gifts and, in the online world, listicles.
Two surprise guests dropped by "The Daily Show" on Thursday. First came Stephen Colbert, whose apparent failure to score a permit will lead to a hybrid "Rally to Restore Sanity and/or Fear" on Oct. 30. And then Oprah Winfrey crashed the show to announce that she's picking up the tab to send the studio audience to the Washington rally.

Will Tiger Woods finally talk to the police? Who will replace Oprah? We stand on the cusp of one of the most seismic events in human history and our obsessions revolve around the trivial and the absurd.
When President Obama Chicago lost out to Rio for the 2016 Olympic Games, none were more pleased than the members of a conservative organization called—wait for it—Americans for Prosperity. Well, they didn't specify whose prosperity they were rooting for, as Stephen Colbert points out in this clip.
Susan Boyle's 15 minutes, OK, 15 days, of fame have fueled a smackdown between those two strains that braid and twist their way through our culture: self-acceptance and self-improvement.
Rush Limbaugh asks why women don't like him. Well, I think I know why. Pull up a chair, my dears, and I'll tell you, and him, a sad, sad story.
Is Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich about to be impeached on grounds of loopiness, obnoxiousness and a bad haircut? It is unclear to me what else Blagojevich has done that a duly constituted jury would find illegal.
Our nation's capital will survive the financial meltdown, the deepening recession and the plethora of foreign crises from Afghanistan to Zimbabwe. Whether Washington will survive Tuesday's inauguration, however, is an open question.

The fluidity of memory aside, this is getting a little strange: Following in the footsteps of James Frey, Misha Defonseca and Margaret Seltzer, yet another "memoirist," Herman Rosenblat, has admitted that his supposedly true story, "Angel at the Fence," is a bit lacking in the truth department.

Seasoned film star and "Changeling" director Clint Eastwood says American politics aren't what they used to be; in fact, the grizzled sort-of-libertarian thinks they're even a little "perverted"—but not like that.

Bombastic rap-rocker Kid Rock recently hit out at fellow celebrities for using their star power to endorse political candidates. However, it seems Mr. Rock himself has a storied history of supporting politicians' campaigns and was once slated to perform at George W. Bush's 2005 inaugural festivities. Updated
One of the expressions my grandmother uttered with feeling and frequency was that "one man should have one baby." I never knew if this was a wish or a curse, but I'm pretty sure she never imagined Thomas Beatie.

Actor Sean Penn has already made waves at the Cannes Film Festival, where he's leading this year's jury, by weighing in about the presidential race back home—and by pointedly bucking the local smoking ban. Suffice it to say that Penn won't be joining Oprah on one of her pep rallies for Barack Obama anytime soon.
"The Daily Show's" Lewis Black probes the soft underbelly of the celebrity endorsement, from the guy who played Kumar to the "political juggernaut that is Dick Van Patten." And if you think Oprah is excited about Barack Obama, just wait until you see how she reacts to the cast of "Desperate Housewives."
On Tuesday, I got a sarcastic e-mail from a Hillary supporter. She forwarded a crack made by Howard Wolfson, Clinton's media man, about Obama. "Senator Clinton," he scoffed, "is not running on the strength of her rhetoric." To which my friend added: "Unfortunately."
When Oprah Winfrey heard that a woman at a precinct next door wasn't allowed to vote, she pledged to stay with the frustrated voter until she got to cast her ballot: "She [Winfrey] just kind of stood there and then as soon as I got to vote she left and she said, 'I'll call you later to make sure that you voted.' And probably about an hour later I was sitting at my desk and she called my cell phone."
Super Tuesday, when 22 states and American Samoa could decide the Democratic nominee, is one day away and no one knows what is going to happen. A new CBS News/New York Times poll shows Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton dead even nationally. Clinton led by as many as 15 points a month ago. But it's the biggest prize of the contest, California, where only a week ago Clinton led by 17 points, that has everyone guessing.
Pop star and producer will.i.am and director Jesse Dylan (son of Bob) put together this independent, star-filled tribute to Barack Obama's New Hampshire concession speech. Whether it's inspirational or just cheesy is up to you, but we've got nothing bad to say about Herbie Hancock on the piano.
The current crop of presidential candidates are keenly aware of the value of impressing America's youth with a little ironic self-parody, ideally showcased on the Internet and/or late-night TV shows. Here's Barack Obama doing his part to make the youngsters laugh by gamely delivering David Letterman's signature Top 10 list about himself.
Is it foolish to think that a nation stained by centuries of slavery and racism is prepared to elect a black president? Rarely phrased so bluntly, that's the central question posed by Barack Obama's candidacy—especially for many African-American voters, whose doubts are informed by having seen many an oasis turn out to be a mirage.
If you think the "Oprah effect" is all hype, you may be interested to learn that the Barack Obama campaign has had to move the location of an upcoming rally featuring the TV talk show host to accommodate the "overwhelming demand." The new venue is the University of South Carolina's 80,250-seat Williams-Brice Stadium, pictured here.
The conventional wisdom says that celebrity endorsements don't mean much in politics. But the conventional wisdom also says that enormously long, difficult novels published more than a century ago don't suddenly become best-sellers today.

It's relatively easy to drum up a list of high-flying entertainers who have publicly backed a Democratic politician in recent years (if not weeks)—Oprah, George Clooney, Steven Spielberg, Barbra Streisand and others readily come to mind—but their conservative counterparts are much harder to ID without resorting to a Google search.
I can't summon any schadenfreude for Winfrey, just sympathy—both for her good intentions and her determination to live up to them. And I pity anyone foolish enough to stand in her way.
Documentarian Michael Moore takes clips from his latest to Oprah for a discussion of the healthcare crisis and why even Republicans are responding warmly to the film: "I don't want this to be a political issue. ... When you get sick, you get sick. The illness doesn't care whether you're a Democrat or a Republican."
I don't doubt Oprah Winfrey's marketing magic, although we don't know yet whether she can do for politics what she's done for publishing. Her endorsement of the candidate Obama may not be as successful as it was for the author Obama.
Is this the beginning of Oprah's Political Club? The talk show queen says she is officially endorsing Democrat Barack Obama's '08 presidential bid—primarily because of her personal connection to the candidate.

The Man (and Woman) Behind the Mustache
Submitted by Katie Macarelli on
Brett Richard will be the first to tell you that he's only half the stache of Handlebar Mustache. He and his wife Ashley moved to Colorado a few years ago and started Handlebar Mustache--both holding down day jobs as well. I'm happy to say our paths finally crossed out at Interbike this year. All I had to do to get an interview was ask where he was from and insinuate that he had a slight accent. Boom. I had myself an interview. Piece of cake...or rather...chunk of mustache wax.
[303Cycling]: How long have you lived in CO? What was before CO?
[Brett]: I am proudly from Independence, MO, home of Harry S. Truman. NO ACCENT on this guy, straight Midwesterner…no "fixin or y'all", that is all my wife. I moved to Memphis, TN and got stuck there (aka served a 13 year sentence there). Memphis is basically Detroit in the jungle...high crime and nasty weather. That is where I met Ashley (she is from that sad place). I started cycling in Memphis and even though it is one of the worst cities in the US to ride in, I was hooked on the sport.
After falling deeply in love with the sport (leading us to attend the TDF 4 times), I began to have IT band issues. I was in PT there, saw 5 MD's, had 3 MRI's and had 9 cortisone injections in 15 mo. - with no diagnosis. One Dr. even asked me if I could "live with it" . I bought Andy Pruitt's book, diagnosed myself and booked an appointment to come see Andy. I can honestly say, if it wasn't for Andy and the procedure he invented with Dr. Jim Holmes (Dr. Holmes did both my surgeries), I would not be riding a bike or living here. I had an IT band release on my left leg in Oct of '03 and the right in Sept of '04. I rehabbed and am all good now!
We fell in love with Boulder during all this, and knew we would get here some how, some way. It took 7 years, but we made it happen. I had the opportunity to transfer with my job in Oct of '09 and we knew we had to do it. It was a crazy time period, but we made it work. We moved from one of Forbes 3 worst cities to live in to Frommer's happiest city in the US that year.
[303Cycling]: Do you have jobs aside from HM? If so, how do they help you with HM stuff?
[Brett]: Day jobs, yes we have them. No, we don't talk about them/are not allowed to talk about them, by our employers.
[303Cycling]:That is wickedly secretive. I love it.
[Brett]: Thank you. I was in apparel retail for 15 years. All that time learning about fit, finish and textiles was a HUGE piece of how/why we started.
[303Cycling]: How does your family help with the business?
[Brett]: My wife plays a huge part in the company. I might be face/stache of the brand in many ways, but she is the wizard behind the curtain. I will have an have an idea, and she does the design work to bring it to life, CFO duties, etc. Ash is amazing and has been the reason we have made it. Our cats are very active by sitting in front of the computer while we work. The dogs work security and on occasion the teenager helps pack up an order or two.
[303Cycling]: What does your garage/basement look like? I envision a lot of bikes and an old-timey newspaper-like printing press that you do your shirts on. There is also some kid dressed like a cast member from the movie "Newsies" who hangs out on your corner and puts the newest shirt designs on every corner along the Front Range. "Extra, extra, read all about it! New t-shirt design is OUT!!!" Am I right?
[Brett]: I like the way your brain works. It's a typical S. Boulder 1956 garage. Happy to say we are moving in a new space for Handlebar Mustache in N. Boulder this month. We will be splitting a studio space with our friend Megan Dean that builds Moth Attack bikes. She just moved here from Vegas.
[303Cycling]: Where's the coolest place your tshirts/products have ever ended up?
[Brett]: Man, that is tough to say. Our T's and socks have been on cool folks and been to RAD places. Sven Nys and Tom Boonen both own a BELGIANTFU shirt I gave them at Interbike this year and Cipo owns a Cipo for Prez shirt I gave him last year. We love seeing Ben Berden and Nicole Duke wearing our socks and putting them on podiums each weekend.
I gotta say WE LOVE to get pics of customers out wearing our stuff - it's as awesome to see someone out riding in a cool place in our kit as it is to see our T's being worn on a Podium. We have recently been sent pics of our pink socks worn by groomsmen at a wedding and during the birth of someone's first child. Our FUCANCER shirts/jerseys have been with people and helped them express themselves. Those moments are tough, but very special for us as well. Coolest place I have taken our gear was our trip to Belgium and Northern France in June. Wearing our "I Cobble RBX" the day after riding Roubaix was pretty cool.
[303Cycling]: Do you remember your first official sale of a shirt?
[Brett]:Oh jeez… sometime in Nov of 09. Don't recall which shirt it was. I do remember that Brando Newcomer, now a close friend, was one of our original 20 customers. We met him shortly after moving here at the Boulder Theater. He was wearing our "Pedalin Squares" tee at the showing of Ride the Divide and we had to meet him. Started riding a bit and now he is a part of our Co. in many ways!
[303Cycling]: Speaking of, you guys have recently started up the Handlebar Mustache Racing Crew. Can you give us the current status of said crew?
[Brett]: We ended up with 17 members for 2014, not to mention some pretty amazing sponsors; 92 Fifty Cyclery, Ergon, Mad Alchemy, The Boulder SC, Pro Gold, and Skratch Labs.
[303Cycling]: What are your future plans for Handlebar Mustache?
[Brett]: Keep growing our brand and keep doing custom work for people in the cycling industry. We are blessed to have snuck/kicked our way into the industry not with our athletic prowess but with a belief that we could do it a bit different. We enjoy working with teams, shops and companies in the industry to bring their items to life.

The Lost & Found Friday column networks displaced pets from Ohio areas north of Columbus. To see pets lost and found all throughout the state of Ohio, please visit Lost & Found Ohio Pets on Facebook.
Please be sure to view the photos and details in the list attached to each article.
If you have lost your pet or found a stray animal, please contact the Cleveland Pets Examiner or Lost & Found Ohio Pets with all of the information. The more information the better! Be sure to include date missing, area last seen, pet's name – age – breed – and other distinguishing characteristics. Don't forget to provide contact information and a photo.
This week: Summit County license campaign underway
If you follow the Cleveland Pets Examiner, you have read about the importance of licensing your dog. Unfortunately, many dog owners are still choosing to ignore the law, putting their dogs at unnecessary risk. A dog license is your dog's ticket home if it gets lost. It not only protects your dog if he is picked up by animal control, but the license fee funds the County kennel and helps care for the dogs that are not as lucky.
Summit County has begun a license campaign to try to get dog owners to comply with Ohio law. Workers are going door-to-door in Stow, Macedonia, Akron, Cuyahoga Falls, Hudson, Green, and Springfield Township and hanging door flyers with information about registering.
An estimated 133,000 dogs live in Summit County, but this year, the County reports that only 38,000 licenses have been sold. Some dog owners think that a license is an unnecessary expense. Some think that their dogs will never get lost; but 1 in 3 dogs will go missing during their lifetime. Being licensed ensures that if they are picked up by animal control their owner can be found. When 3 to 4 million pets are killed in shelters across the U.S. every year, the cost of a license is a small price to pay to keep your pet from being one of them! Additionally, the funds collected for licensing are used to operate the County Kennel. Animals in underfunded kennels are euthanised in greater numbers, because there's not enough money to care for them.
All dogs are required to have a new license by January 31 every year, and can be fined double the cost of the license if it is purchased after the deadline. Summit County is waiving the fine for people who follow the instructions on the door flyers and license their pets now.
A dog license is an easy way to increase the chances of reclaiming a lost pet.

Also, happy bday to your daughter! Feel old yet?
I was thinking about this the other day and was surprised at how little I remember of the day even though it was just 3 years ago. Pretty sure it was my final presentation in my senior design II class that was my last college academic experience.
I think at that point I was so over school work and being broke as a joke that I just wanted it done and move on to making money. Should have cherished a little more!
As an ISU grad living in Ames, Spring Finals week makes me sad because next week all the talent/scenery leaves for the summer and have to 3 months for them to come back.
My worst is over. I actually kinda like that they were so front loaded. 3 exams in 2 days.
All I have left is human sexuality and I only need like 60% to secure an A

I will be praying for you tomorrow. I've always tried to do something special on that day. Normally we'd go to mass at the cemetery (being my husband's angelversary is on Memorial Day.) Maybe you can have a mass intention for Paul and go to mass and breakfast, or have a bonfire and write him letters (share them if they are comfortable) and let the smoke carry them heavenward. Whatever you do, I'm sure he will be especially close.
We went camping the first year and I thought some people would see it as being disrespectful, but it was something he would have loved. On our bike ride I was following my daughter and wondering/wishing why he couldn't be there with us. He was SUPPOSED to be there with us and then I saw my daughter and how she looked so much like her dad at that moment and I realized he is here, in our laughter, our smiles, our tears, our hearts.
Start a new tradition with your kids. Pitch a tent and eat lunch in there, go for a bike ride, or just throw rocks in a lake. The more you talk about him, the more they will talk about him and his memory will live on for them. Expect tears. They are healing. Good luck.
It was seven years in March that Al died and each years year it was different not easier just different. I think we just have to take these days as they come without expectations and do whatever is best for us at that time. Our Father , brotherJesus. And Spirit of LOVE HOPE AND JOY are always with us on these days. God bless you.
It gets better.
But you have to come up with coping mechanisms.
My husband died at Thanksgiving time -- so we don't do turkey at our house. Either we visit someone else or we camp or something. Our anniversary date coincides with a film fest, so I generally focus on that.
Unless your kids are young, I wouldn't worry about them. Each must mourn and remember -- or not! -- at his own pace.
By now you have managed to get through the day. I hope that your anticipation of the anniversary of your husband's death was worse than the actual day although I know that may not be true. The second year was more difficult for me - perhaps because other people pay more attention the first year and we are left more alone to figure it out the second year.
My husband died Dec 22nd and all the Christmas traditions which of course begin a good month before the holiday - just made it all the worse. I found I needed to create new traditions and the third year my son and I took a Caribbean cruise. Christmas day we were in Key West and celebrated mass in a beautiful chapel. The water, sun and people around me were a wonderful diversion. The key for me is how to move forward so that we are happy and those around us are happy also - maybe not every day but that it becomes a way of life. Balance, strength and happiness do return although there is still the occasional really bad day even 7 years later.
I have a plaque that I really like - by Washington Irving:
There is a sacredness in tears. They are not the mark of weakness but of power. They speak more eloquently than 10,000 tongues. They are the messengers of overwhelming grief, of deep contrition and of unspeakable love.
Thank God that we had a relationship worthy of grieving their loss. God will be with you through the hard days..................just ask for the strength to get through them. I believe everyone's suggestions are good ones. I would encourage you to think about a diversion for next year. Someplace you never went as a family and something you never did as a family - an adventure that belongs to you and your children.
God bless you and the kids.
Prayers for your children & you. In time it will get easier for them.
There have been so many milestones in my family since Joe passed away 2 and a half years ago. We get sad but we also think about how he would be celebrating with us. How he IS celebrating with us. I'm wondering how he feels since I just found out I am going to be a grandma!
I am wishing your children peace & comfort in remembering their dad!

DOS AGUAS, Mexico – The hole is at least 50 feet wide, with rocky edges that veer straight down. The bottom is so deep, it's shrouded in complete darkness. Locals in this tiny village, tucked between the mountains in the central Mexican state of Michoacán, call it the Barranco del Manguito, the Gorge of the Mango. According to Rubén, the 34-year-old man who drove me here, the pit harbors a dark secret. He says it's a narcofosa, a makeshift grave where drug traffickers dump the bodies of their victims.
"Several years ago, members of a local drug gang dumped an entire family here," says Rubén, who asked that we not use his real name. "They were five or six people. They killed them over a drug deal gone wrong. They put their bodies in a pickup truck and pushed the whole thing down the hole. There could be other bodies, too. They always use places like this. It's perfect, because no one even thinks of looking for bodies here."
Though the hole is too deep, and its sides to steep for us to personally verify Rubén's story, he does know the area and the local underworld. Before a wave of violence scared him into retirement, he worked as a driver and marijuana farmer for La Familia Michoacana, a now-defunct drug cartel that terrorized the region between 2006 and 2010.
As Mexico's violent drug war rages on, the country has become marked with narco-graves. While more of them surface each month, critics say the government isn't doing nearly enough to locate the dead. Some even accuse law enforcement officials of working with the cartels, allowing them not only to bury large numbers of victims with impunity, but also ensuring that the graves are never found.
Last Friday, authorities in Michoacán unearthed several clandestine graves in the vicinity of Lázaro Cárdenas, a Pacific port city some 60 miles to the east. Police dug up 10 bodies in five graves. It still isn't known who the victims were, who killed them or when they were buried, but few doubt that the dead were casualties of the brutal gangland battles that have plagued Michoacán for the last seven years.
Since 2006, Mexican authorities have uncovered at least 174 narcofosas in 19 different states, containing more than 1,000 bodies. Most of the graves are small, like the ones found in Lázaro Cárdenas. Others resemble the gruesome killing fields of Cambodia and Bosnia. Between last November and February, authorities discovered three mass graves in Jalisco state, just across the border with Michoacán, recovering more than 100 bodies over the course of four months. The bodies showed signs of torture, decapitation, and were riddled with bullet wounds.
Most notorious were the narcofosas in San Fernando, a town in the northern state of Tamaulipas, which borders Texas. In 2010, the bodies of 72 massacred migrants were found in a warehouse. Less than a year later, a mass grave was discovered with the remains of 193 people. All of the victims were reportedly killed by Los Zetas, one of Mexico's most violent drug cartels.

What is the best way to pay off my Sallie Mae loan?[ Edited ]
08-10-2012 08:14 PM - edited 08-10-2012 08:20 PM
I took out a $4000 student loan for the summer. However, I only used $1430.68 and was refunded $2,569.32, which I put into a savings account.
I wanted to know should I continue with the minimum payments of $25--which isn't much, this month for example the interest was $18.94 so I'm guessing only $6.06 off the principal was paid--until I have saved the whole $4000 to pay the loan off all at once--? Also what would be the best procedure to pay it off all at once without Sallie Mae doing something sneaky that would still keep me in their clutches..lol?
Or should I also pay the amount I currently have saved in my account (which is now at $2749.36), along with the $25 I already paid? Would this lower the principal amount I have left (the way how sallie mae works confuses me) and/or lower my interest rate?
All I want to know is what is the best way/procedure to pay off this loan without incurring too much hassle in doing so and getting this off my back as soon as possible?
