ParticipantYou need to fill out a FAFSA as soon as possible. The process is painless and everything is electronic. Within a few days, the school will have the information and you will be able to proceed with an application for the student loans. With a high EFC, you just won’t be able to get any unsubsidized loans. I don’t think the banks look at a declared major, but what they really prefer is a Title IV school (no trade schools, etc). I’m unsure how long the “verification” process takes for the banks, but just call the financial aid office to understand the process flow for that school.
I would try to secure funding as soon as possible as there have been a number of lenders in the FFEL program who are not offering loans as the government subsidies have decreased, lowering the overall value (in addition to the fact that there are no capital markets for SL paper right now). If the school uses the Federal Direct loan program, you should be fine.

ParticipantMeadandale, that was a net annualized cost during 2007, taking in account the excise taxes paid AND credits earned for being a biodiesel manufacturer. Of course, those costs have increased a fair amount this year as the cost of methanol has increased, but still significantly lower than what we are paying per gallon.

ParticipantNo more rush hour traffic for me. First our offices moved from Sorrento Valley to Downtown, so no more of the 805 anymore. Then, my fiance and I decided to find a place downtown to rent while we watch the market normalize. My four block walk is the best commute I have ever had. I finally had to break down and fill up the tank yesterday, and that was very frustrating, even though it was the first time in six weeks….
FLU, I’ve got a biodiesel guy that works for me that drives a VW Jetta. Currently, is costs him only $0.76 / gallon to produce. He’s got a pretty efficient system that produces about 39 gallons each batch and only takes a handful of days to go through the process. The cost may go up a bit as he may need to start paying for the “used” oil that he had as a resource for the past few years to ensure that he gets the exclusive rights to that restaurants oil. Apparently there are more and more people trying to process their own over the past few months and actually creating supply and demand.

Participant[img_assist|nid=7846|title=Samson|desc=|link=node|align=center|width=466|height=350]
I always had a large dog growing up on the farm in Montana. First a lab mix and then a german shepperd mix, both great dogs that took care of themselves and lived outdoor exclusively. A few years ago, my fiance decided that she wanted a dog. She works from home and wanted some company. I was against a house dog from my upbringing, but after a few years of Samson, I’m a changed man. She settled on a Chihuahua/Jack Russell mix (75/25) (9.5lbs) that she got from a breeder in Texas. So, I’ll try to attempt to answer your questions from my experience with a house dog.
1) By adoping, you are potentially saving a dog from being put down (my fiance recorded the Oprah show on dog rescues and it was an eye opener), but cons can be the baggage that they are bringing in the form of trust, obedience, etc.
If you go with a breeder, do your due diligence and find a reputable breeder that not only takes good care of the pups, but also the mothers and fathers that are breed. My fiance did her due diligence, including visiting the breeder multiple times before she found Samson.
2) & 3) You will experience some accidents. A good cure is a little “Hot Shot” available in three pack from Costco. But a better cure is buying “Puppies for Dummies” and taking all suggestions and finding out works best during the training. My fiance lived on the third floor of her place in Mission Valley, so it wasn’t convienent to get down the the designating “relief area” at all hours of the day, so she potty trained him with a litter box. I didn’t think that it would work, but it did. We use Yesterday’s News at PetSmart and it works well. Two months ago we moved downtown (we are renting…), right next to Pantoja Park, where we have a quick exit right to the grass. The only time he uses the litter box is when we are gone for a long period of time. In a typical work day, he gets taken out at ~6am, ~12pm, and ~6pm and does fine. Frequently, if we don’t take him out first thing in the morning, he runs straight to the litter box.
Samson has a little more hair than the dogs you are considering, but not by much, and he gets cold easily. If you have direct sunlight, their is a good chance that is where they will spend their afternoon (as in the picture above).
I highly suggest crate training. Samson was originally crate trained (and then somebody took a few years off of crate training him), and he is now back in the process of being crate trained again and its working, just taking some time. As the Dog Whisperer would say, be the pack leader. They will still give you the love and affection that you would like from them if you are the pack leader.
