Commenter: Kristi NelsonThis is a big problem! I wish I knew then what I know now. I would have made an entire different decision. No one told me then that they can garnish your wages, take away social security and put liens on anything you own and hunt you down forever making sure your life is oppressed! I wonder why that was not told to me when I signed up for college loans?? Yes I signed on the dotted line, but I feel there should have been more education on these loans. All my college was thinking about was the money they will make off of me. Shame on them for not telling me ANYTHING!! ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!!! I feel they should be partly responsible for not reveling these things to be. I have an art degree, actually a full bachelors degree, and have emailed my college and posted on their website about having an art show regarding "How student loan affects one’s life." Have I heard back? No way! I feel a bit like I was taken advantage off and I shouldn’t be responsible for the total amount of these loans. Why will they not even respond to me???!! It really makes me mad that they took advantage of me. VERY MAD!!! They stole my life away from me!!! There needs to be in place more education before taking out these loans, before a $1 is given out. When one goes through bankruptcy there is all kinds of classes that are required. Why when one takes out a $100,000 student loan not one minute is spent on educating you on the outcome of this, but yet you are punished as much as a murderer!! I don’t’ understand. I am a citizen of this country but yet refugees are treated better! Lately my total commission sales jobs to businesses has taken a nose dive because of the economy. I have used all my forbearance’s and everything I can do to forgo the monthly loans and give me time to get my financial life and job situation more secure–but the loan company does not care–actually that would be our government. Now because of the very unreliable income I have, I can’t afford the monthly payments. When I call my loan company to talk to them about it, all they say is wait until the collection company calls you. By the way, these are private collection companies cashing in on government loans. I ask them if I can talk to the collection company now. They say they have no idea who it will go to. I have to sit and wait for the outcome of my entire life and wait until the collection company calls. I am now about 50 days to collections. I have an appointment with, I think, the only bankruptcy attorney in the State of Minnesota who has actually done a undue hardship case for Chapter 13 in two weeks. I have no idea what my specific case will bring. Most attorneys tell you it can’t be done. The only cases that are forgiven is if you are in an iron lung or incapacitated. I don’t understand why other circumstances can’t be taken a look at. I guess I will find out in two weeks when I talk to the attorney if she will take my case. If she won’t take my case, I will be looking at a life time of garnished wages, no opportunity to own anything and no social security when I get old. I wonder where I will live with no credit. Basically I am looked at as a murderer or traitor who also has no statute of limitations on their crime. I can’t seem to find any financial adviser either that can advise one for their future with this problem. Maybe I should just be put in prison right now. At least I know I will have a roof over my head and several meals a day–right now that is a mystery. I guess the government wants you to be a criminal if you try to educate yourself–didn’t that happen in medieval times? Hey, I guess they have art programs in prison! That is my degree, I am too stressed out trying to make money to think about making any art right now, maybe that is what the government wants me to do as my option, or should I try to incapacitate myself?? Doesn’t seem like there are too many options at all. I feel a bit taken advantage of but yet I feel I want to try to make these payments or some of them. I wish they could give me a grace period of 6-12 months, but there is nothing left for me. I don’t know what to do. There is no hope for people like me. It is very sad. I feel my life is very oppressed and there is nothing to look forward to for my future. Depression overwhelms me as life is never any fun. I made the biggest mistake of my life that now I have to pay for forever. It is so hard! I made the biggest mistake of my life. I wish I would have bought a house, owned a bank, or a car dealership–at least there is some way out for them. There is no way out for me but an oppressed hard life. The way the laws are set up is that I am a very bad person..lower than low. Why don’t’ they just line us up and shoot us. Life is no fun anyways!

“No better,” she answered, “But it made him easier to track! Dad revised the idea by replacing the window weight with a gunny sack. The bull still jumped the fence but the sack hung up in the bob wire. At least they could find him the next mornin’.”

 The other important date in the history of Hunter wine is October 16, 1832, the day James Busby, lauded as the father of the Australian wine industry, arrived in Sydney carrying cuttings of 543 vine varieties he had collected from France and Spain.

Slater has been thinking for decades about building an artificial wave. In an as-told-to memoir, from 2003, he noted, “Surfers have dreamed of creating the ultimate wave machine. The perfect setup would take surfing to every town in America and make the sport as mainstream as soccer.” Wave pools have been around since the nineteenth century, when Ludwig II, the Mad King of Bavaria, had a wave machine built on a lake at one of his palaces. Pools built specifically for surfing began to appear in the late nineteen-sixties, but even the best of them produced only weak, short, messy waves. Slater got serious about developing his ideas in 2006, and began working with scientists at the University of Southern California’s Viterbi School of Engineering.

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.

When I met Jeff Fournier, Fournier’s shop chief, he walked me past an Aston Martin DBR1/2 body buck—a 1950s Le Mans car in plywood—and toward several large English wheels, frames as tall as a grown man, under bright lights. In 90 minutes, as photographer Andrew Trahan and I watched, Fournier turned a sheet of annealed 3003 aluminum into half of a gas tank for a Norton motorcycle. The process involved little more than a nylon mallet, a plywood buck, a leather-and-wood "slapper" shrinking tool, and an English wheel.

“You don’t know my dad! He’d find him eventually. He’d put out an APB. Then some mornin’ I’d be settin’ at the breakfast table in a stupor reading the label on a milk carton and there he’d be! Beneath his photograph would read: IF YOU SEE THIS BULL draggin’ a ten foot log chain in his nose, please call this number. He answers to the name JUMPER.“

“Two formats are growing for indie and major record labels: audiocassettes and vinyl LPs,” Stepp said.

Commenter: NYPHDThere is a connection between this issue and the shrinking middle class. The subject of your report thought a graduate degree would give her a better life for herself and her daughter. I thought the same thing about being a college professor. I am not in the same dire circumstance as your subject, but I do know that I will be in debt for decades to come and my family lives paycheck to paycheck praying to stay healthy and employed. I also know that the victims of these loans would in th eones in past generations that became the consumer class, the people that are so vital to our economy. I know that having $700 more each month I would buy a car, purchase a computer, save for retirement, maybe for the first time in twenty years take a vacation, and have some to invest in the stock market. I also know that NOW could follow this story with the issue of public university funding. In the 1960s up to 80% of public colleges were funded by the taxpayer. That is no longer the case. A college is lucky with 15-20% state funding. On a related note, some states are begining to take money that students pay in tuition and divert it to non-related state expenses. What that means is that our best and brightest young people are taking out these loans to subsidize state budgets to keep taxes for the wealthest citizens low.
