It doesn’t make much difference how fast a horse can run if the jockey doesn’t cross the finish line with him.

Commenter: MaureenMy story is like others here, but slightly different since we have never been in default of late on our payments. We took out our loans in starting in 1987 and they were consolidated at a ridicously high interest rate. We have never missed a payment and have stellar credit. We have tried over the years to get a lower interest rate but have been told that we are locked in for life.We feel that we are at their mercy and climbing a mountain of debt that we will never see the downside of. Another thing that I would like to add is that my daughter is in high school and will be going to college in a few years.We have no college fund because of our student loans. THIS WILL BECOME AN INTERGENERATIONAL POVERTY PROBLEM IF PREDATORY LENDING CONTINUES!! She is a bright child but will most likely go to junior college since it is my duty as a parent to protect her from accumulating huge debts and fall prey to predatory lending practices.

His grief was deep. The community put their arms around this proud man and his family. They did what neighbors do. As the months passed, they were always there. Watching after his children while loneliness ground away at his broken heart. And watched over him, as well.

Lady was next on the list of family to check. She was nowhere to be found until Renee heard her whimpering in what she said was “the worst cry I’ve ever heard in my life from a dog.”

Barton was not the only Australian Commonwealth “founding father” to be connected to the Hunter. 

Fast forward to today. Teenagers in farm communities now have to go to the gym all summer to get in shape. Because one farmer with a round baler, a self-propelled inline bale wrapper, and a tractor with a bale spear can do the work of full teenage hayin’ crew in half the time. One of the most labor-intensive chores on the ranch is building fence.

Stoner stunned everyone in MotoGP last month when, at the age of 26, he announced he would be retiring at the end of the season for “family reasons”. At the time of the announcment he had won 35 MotoGP races in his career and led the 2012 standings after winning two of the season’s three events.

Commenter: Where did I go wrong?I currently have over $180,000 of debt due to college… and climbing because I can only make the minimum loan payment which, as we all know, only pays the interest on the loan and not any of the principle balance. So the $180,00 is rapidly rising as I type this. How did it get this bad? I was debt free when I started college. I received the GI Bill for being in the army which paid me a monthly amount while attending college. Not to mention I attended public colleges in MA which were tuition FREE for US Veterans. How did it get this bad? I went to a local community college and then to UMass Boston as I worked full-time until I had all of my elective classes complete. Both schools are considered public colleges and my tuition was FREE. I had minimal debt at that time mostly due to college fees, books, and other school and living expenses. How did it get this bad? My goal was to be an architect. I looked at architecture schools in the Boston area and found exactly zero programs offered at public colleges. I decided to go to a private college. Northeastern University in Boston. Tuition was NOT FREE here for US Veterans. Here’s how it got so bad! Tuition was over $30,000 a year. Not to mention an exorbitant amount of money paid in architecture supplies that were "necessary". I worked odd jobs as much as I could which was very difficult with the time demands in architecture school. My GI Bill expired because it was beyond the allotted time. Which meant there were times I was paying rent and living expenses with my student loans and credit card(s). At this point I was in survival mode. Five years later I received my masters degree. I’m currently one of the few architects to have a job in the city of Boston. I’m entry level, in my 30′s and live with 2 other people in a cramped apartment outside the city with no TV and very few amenities. I don’t own a car and really don’t have any unusual expenses except for my loans. I’m desperate for relief. I honestly don’t know how I’m getting by each day. I’m working ridiculous hours and still not able to pay all my bills. The potential for architects to make a decent living is there after 10 years or so in the business. But due to the recession, the building industry is dormant and I’m working like a fiend just to keep my job with literally thousands of people waiting in the wings to take my place if I miss a single deadline. How did it get this bad? Where did I go wrong???

The concerts have been massive, with weekend crowds of up to 20,000 injecting millions of dollars into the local economy. And, if the memory of vigneron Brian McGuigan is correct, it all began with the band The Dingoes in 1973, playing on the banks of the Hunter River at Wyndham Estate.

Who’s Bad’s live performance is an unrivaled celebration of pop music’s one true King. Their power-packed performance of Michael Jackson’s expansive catalog has ignited crowds on every continent and can only be described as a jaw-dropping, musical must-see. As the longest-running Michael Jackson tribute band, and the only one to predate his untimely passing, Who’s Bad has awed even the skeptics, selling out nearly 50 venues in the United Kingdom including London’s O2 in December of 2010, the venue where the King of Pop was slated to end his career with a 50-show "This Is It" concert series. Beyond this unparalleled achievement, Who’s Bad has checked some of the world’s most famous pavilions off their ‘to-do’ list, selling out their first tour of China with stops at Ningbo’s Grand Theatre and Hunan Grand Theatre in Chengsha. Never neglecting Michael’s U.S. fans, Who’s Bad has packed The House of Blues in Houston, Dallas, and New Orleans; rocked DC’s 930 Club and returned to their native Chapel Hill, NC boasting larger, more eagerly-awaited performances with every romp around the globe. Sold-out shows from Colorado’s Bluebird Theatre and LA’s Gibson Amphitheatre and Romania’s Sala Pa… (read more)
