Your Questions About Fafsa

Lizzie asks…

A question about fafsa?

when do i apply for fafsa for next year’s school year (2009-2010)

Michelle answers:

Each FAFSA is for an entire academic year, running August through July. The FAFSA that is currently available at the fafsa site is for the 2008-2009 school year, which will end at the conclusion of this year’s summer semesters.

The new FAFSA (for 2009-2010) will be posted on or immediately after January 1st. It gets a little a confusing when that 2nd FAFSA goes up, because the current FAFSA will still be available for those students who are looking for spring and summer aid for this year.

As others have suggested, your goal should be to submit your FAFSA as early as possible. Though the applications are accepted pretty much any time during the year, every state has a FAFSA deadline, and so does every school. State aid and school aid is generally awarded from a limited pool of funds, and the funds are divided up amongst all qualified applicants who beat the deadline. Usually you’ll see this called a “priority aid deadline”. There will be some money available to students who miss the deadlines, but you’ll be throwing away your chance to earn the largest possible amount of funding.

Keep in mind that completing the FAFSA requires that you and your parents have 2008 Federal and State Income Tax returns available. You’ll be asked to enter information that appears on the tax returns that you and your parents have filed. The goal is to get your tax returns completed as quickly as possible, but you may need to wait for W-2s to arrive, before you can complete the forms accurately.

As you look through the websites for schools that interest you, be sure to keep an eye out for each school’s aid deadlines. You’ll almost always find that information somewhere in the financial aid section of the site. Remember – if you want to be considered for all possible forms of aid, you’re going to want to get your FAFSA in before those deadlines. Don’t forget it takes the Department of Education at least a week or two to analyze your FAFSA submission and get it out to your school, so you don’t want to wait until the very last minute.

Good luck!

Donna asks…

FAFSA sign up help anyone?

How exactly does the FAFSA signing up work? Just like a quick overview, and more or less how long it takes. Thanks!

Michelle answers:

FAFSA.ED.GOV is where you’ll start.

It’s pretty simple. I assume your doing it for 2010-2011, so…

Go to the left-hand side on the FAFSA homepage.
Go to 2. Filling Out a FAFSA.
Go to Fill Out Your FAFSA.
Select 2010-2011 FAFSA.

You’ll then sign up with your names, SSN, Date of Birth, and so forth.
You’ll need a PIN (from PIN.ED.GOV) if you want to sign electronically. (Also get one for your parent, for them to sign too).
You’ll need your and your parents tax info, SSNs, DOBs, etc.
For a complete list of what you’ll need, go here: http://www.fafsa.ed.gov/before003.htm

Since my parents don’t have much money, don’t have any real estate, etc. It’s very simple for me. Plus I’ve very computer-savvy and have been through it multiple times. It takes me about a half hour. The first time, though, I was very confused and such so it took me about an hour.

Michael asks…

FAFSA / Credit Report.?

Out of curiosity, if you apply for fafsa and you get it, Say after 2 years I wanted to buy a condo only I still have 2 years LEFT to finish my BA. Will FAFSA show on my credit report if I apply for a mortgage?
Reason im asking is if it does IM better off paying cash for every semester vs owing fafsa and getting denied for a home loan.
OK for example , if I get a stafford loan, will that be on my credit report and hurt my chances of getting a mortgage?

Michelle answers:

FAFSA is the name of the application. You don’t owe anything to fafsa and you don’t borrow anything from fafsa. It is simply the name of the application you fill out to see what kinds of financial aid you qualify for. It is up to you to determine if you want to take out loans.

If you get grants only by filling out the fafsa, then your credit report will not be effected in any way. If you choose to take out student loans, your student loans WILL show up on your credit report. Your debt to income ratio will be taken into consideration when applying for a mortgage.

It is ALWAYS better to avoid debt esp if you can pay for your courses outright. Loans are meant for people who don’t have the cash to pay for their expenses… Why would you want to pay interest on a loan when you don’t need to?

Thomas asks…

Does FAFSA also cover medical school?

I was thinking about attending medical school and I know for sure it’ll be expensive but can I use fafsa??

Michelle answers:

FAFSA is the application that allows you to qualify for any type of governmental grants or school loans such as the Pell grant. The amount of money you will receive depends on you and your parents income (if you are under 25?).

I can tell you that Pell grant will not cover all of your medical school bills since the maximum per year is only around $4500. But by filling out the FAFSA, you will be offered LOANS to make up the rest of your college expenses. You will have to start making minimum payments on these loans 6 months after you graduate from med school.

So the bottom line is, FAFSA will help you pay for med school but you will have to pay them back if you decide to take out loans. If you THINK you want to go to college say Fall of 2009, you must fill out a FAFSA before March 2, 2009 to get first priority or else you will receive less financial aid. Hope this helps.

Your Questions About Facebook Login

Donna asks…

Facebook login question?

How do I log back in to my old facebook account to delete when the same e-mail is also associated with my new account? Thanks!

Michelle answers:

If you are logging into the new Facebook account using the “same” email id that you used to for the old Facebook account then it clearly shows that your old Facebook account has been deleted already. Facebook doesn’t allow you to create a new account with the “same” email id unless the old account has been deleted completely. So it’s impossible to create a new Facebook account with the same email ID that you used for the old Facebook unless the old Facebook account has been deleted completely already. So in this case either your Old Facebook is deleted already and if you are sure that its not deleted then you gotta check with the email ID of the old account which shouldn’t be the same as the new one.

Hope this helps!!

Regards,

Jay

Charles asks…

Why is facebook login not secured?

When you go to to ANY other website where you have to log in, a little lock thing comes up in your browser letting you know it’s secure. Why not for facebook? They say its secure, how can we trust them?
Answer #2. You obviously didnt understand the simple question. I ask WHY is it notsecure. Not how to. Learn to read.

Michelle answers:

Facebook isnt secure
they say that because nobody would join otherwise
facebooks rep is that it is “safe”
thats a load of shit
the reason it doesnt pop up is that there connection isnt encrypted

Paul asks…

Facebook login Firefox?

When I go to facebook there is my uncles login bc firefox remembers it every time how do i make it not remember it and remember my??

Michelle answers:

To get rid of any saved password try this on your computer here is what you do. Now this is for windows xp, you probably have Vista, but it works the same way basically. One step might be off, but I am getting you in the right area.

Look up at the top of the menu bar right now.

Go to Tools
Options
Security
Saved Passwords

Now, find look at all of those lines and find your Uncles facebook login. Click on it and the REMOVE button.

You are good to go. Go back to facebook and login. Remember to hit the “remember my login info” checkmark under your name when you type in your info this time so that it remembers you.

John asks…

How do I password protect Mozilla Firefox 2 without using a program?

My sister wont stay off Firefox after I told her not to get on it and I wanted to know if there was a way to password protect it without using a program that she can just un-install.

Michelle answers:

Make a second user account on your pc and password lock yours and hide firefox on the second account. Otherwise you cannot lock a program individually you can however block it on your firewall and unblock it when you want to use it. Or block the sites she goes to if theyre ones that you dont visit.

I need to contact Alton concerning recipes listed on FN that are not correct when campaired to his Show?

Anyone have a legit email address? Food Networks editing department never gets around to doing its job
Oh, Ive tried there already, but there isn’t a place to email =(

Michelle answers:

I know the Food Network in-box que is HUGE. I’ve submitted a few questions to them in the past and still have at least 1 outstanding query. I know that they do their best to answer questions, but if you simply leave a comment, you will never hear back from them. If you pose your comment about incorrect recipes online as a question, you’re likely to get an answer, but I can’t say for sure that any change(s) to the recipe(s) will actually occur. Maybe you can start a website with corrected Food Network recipes? ; )

Mandy asks…

What type of dough was used by Paula Deen with the cheeseburgers she made 2 nights ago?

I was watching the Paual Deen show late friday night/early saturday morning on the food network and she made burgers then wrapped them in what i believed to be phyllo dough and baked them. Is anyone sure of what type of dough she used?

Michelle answers:

I seen that show before – here’s the recipe
Jamie’s Cheeseburger Pie Recipe courtesy Paula Deen, 2007
Show: Paula’s Party
Episode: Pie in the Sky

1 pound lean ground beef
1/2 cup sweet onions, preferably Vidalia onion
1 tablespoon steak seasoning (recommended: Montreal)
1 tablespoon steak seasoning sauce (recommended: Dale’s Steak Seasoning Sauce)
5 slices cheese, preferably American, Swiss, or sharp Cheddar
1 sheet frozen puff pastry dough*
1 egg yolk

*Frozen puff pastry dough should sit at room temperature for about 20 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F and preheat the grill.

Mix the ground beef, onion, steak seasoning, and seasoning sauce together (using your hands is the most efficient way to do this). Form into 5 small flat patties. Grill the hamburgers to medium-well. (You may also pan-fry the patties.) Remove from the grill and top each burger with a slice of cheese of your choice.

Roll the puff pastry sheet to flatten slightly. Cut it into 5 relatively even rectangles.

Cover each burger with a piece of puff pastry and wrap it around the bottom, pinching all of the edges to seal. Place on an un-greased baking sheet, pinched side down.

Whish together the egg yolk and 1 teaspoon water to make an egg wash. Brush each wrapped pastry with the egg wash. Bake for about 15 minutes, until the puff pastry is nice and brown.

Richard asks…

What is the meat substitute thats made from bread dough?

I saw this thing on the food network where this woman made a vegan stew or goulash using this meat substitute she made herself. It was something like, You take all the dough you need for a loaf of bread, run it under cold water till it shrinks and the carbohydrates are out, and then bake it, and put in recipes as you would chicken or beef cubes.

What on earth was that and is there an official recipe or can I order it online?

Michelle answers:

That is a wheat flour dough which is washed in a filter separating the starch from the gluten. The gluten will be left in the filter and the starch together with the water.

Know more about it.
Http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wheat_gluten_(food)

deep fry it and dip it in soy sauce with sugar and lemon juice.

People with Celiac disease or Gluten sensitivity should not consume gluten

Your Questions About Fox News

Chris asks…

How many hours a day can the Fox News devote to the Benghazi terror attacks?

Wasn’t Karl Rove of CrossRoads GPS in the white house when 9/11 happened? but that canned ham is a favorite on fox news?

Michelle answers:

24, but it will seem a lot longer.

Paul asks…

If fox news says obama should be imnpeached over sestak job offer?

Dick cheney was still on the board of Halliburton when we stormed Iraq. Even fox news has reported his net Income over 200 million since the 08 iraq war. He was still chairman and CEO of Halliburton while they were getting billions from the US Tax payer. This is plausable? But the Cheney Halliburton connection is legit? How is that? And dont give me that 9/11 crap, Halliburton was getting 90 dollars per bag of laundry that was washed. All coming from the tax payers.

Michelle answers:

Who cares what Faux Noise says. They’re not even a real news media outlet.

George asks…

Is it just my imagination or is Fox News now for Obama?

Looking at the Fox News website, most of the stories show Obama winning and present him in a positive light.

Could it be they’re worried about ratings?

Michelle answers:

Fox news is against obama, they are just reporting the news as it is.

Michael asks…

What is up with this Fox News and Sherry Lady, what happened?

I keep on hearing all this Fox news this and that. What did Fox news do and some lady Sherry Sherod or something like that. Something racist, can someone give me the full story
A legit answer no “DEMONcrats”
kay?

Michelle answers:

Heres what happened.
Sherry’s video is out in public, she gets forcibly resigned. Fox news and other news companies pick up on the story after she is fired. Notice this, AFTER. They did not get Sherry fired, and are not racist for playing the story that all the other media stations played as well. They even went as far as to explain this on some of their shows.

The story itself is somewhat and somewhat not racist, and reporting it is not racist either. The story was of Sherry explaining how she turned away from being racist after not fully helping a white farmer to the best of her abilities, and than coming to (due to lack of better words at the moment [sorry havn’t eaten dinner yet]) enlightenment on the topic and that things should not be seen as white vs black or anything like that, but as poor vs rich (still not good, but its not racist). The other news companies reported on this as well, if Fox is racist for reporting on this, than so are they.

Your Questions About Forever 21

Daniel asks…

Is there an actual forever 21+ store?

Like when I search for store location, it just says forever 21, not 21+. I was wondering if there’s an actual tangible store where I could buy the stuff instead of ordering online. Buttttt if I do order online, and the clothes don’t fit, how would I return them? Would I even be able to return them?

Michelle answers:

Forever 21+ is a section inside the regular Forever 21…at least that’s how it is in my city’s Forever 21. If the clothes don’t fit, you’d return it like you would any other item. You’d have to either exchange it at your local store or get a box from the post office, print out the shipping label (usually provided by the retailer) and mail it back at your own expense.

Paul asks…

Back to school clothes shopping at Forever 21?

Do you think Forever 21 would be a good place to go back to school clothes shopping? I am 13 and going into eight grade. Are they really expensive? I have never been there before.

Michelle answers:

Forever 21 is a great place to shop for back to school in my middle school forever 21 was really popular with girls and they carried the forever 21 bags around. Also forever 21 is semi expensive its like 15-20 dollars for a shirt and like 20-40 for skinny jeans and normal jeans

Ken asks…

Is Forever 21 a reliable brand?

I want to get some boots but I can’t go to the store (the mall is too far away). I really love the style of these, but since it’s a pain to return things and these boots will cost the rest of my allowance money, they need to be well-made and last for a while (a long while).

These are the boots;

http://www.forever21.com/product.asp?catalog%5Fname=FOREVER21&category%5Fname=footwr&footwr%5Fstyle=footwr%5Fboots&footwr%5Fsize=8&footwr%5Fcolor=color%5Fblack&footwr%5Fprice=&product%5Fid=2081890629&Page=1

Does stuff from Forever 21 last long? Or will I be needing to buy another pair of boots in a month if I buy these?

Michelle answers:

While forever 21 may be cheap and easy, thier stuff doesnt last too long. I got a pair of boots last winter from charlotte russe, and they are still in GREAT condition after me wearing them quite often last winter. Thier things are not much more expensive than forever 21, and they last MUCH, MUCH longer…in my opinion at least. I would go with a pair from charlotte russe…

Http://www.charlotterusse.com/product/index.jsp?productId=4239954&cp=4238904.4192314.2745010

maybe something like these, with the lace up style you wanted?

Or these are very similar to the forever 21 pair, and cuter in my opinion…

Http://www.charlotterusse.com/product/index.jsp?productId=4184411&cp=4238904.4192314.2745010

quite honestly i like them both, i like both of them better than the forever 21 pair, and i think they would last longer too.

Not to knock forever 21, i love them too!! But if youre looking for a quality pair of boots, i’d go with charlotte russe. They also many other cute pairs on thier website : www.charlotterusse.com

hope i helped!!

I can scroll through pictures on facebook on my facebook blackberry app, but how do I save them to my phone?

Hi, i wanna know how is a fedex kinko different from a fedex staffed?

Michelle answers:

FedEx bought out Kinkos copying centers. FedEx Kinkos is now FedEx Office and is an online printing service.

A staffed FedEx is an actual storefront that you have to go to to make printed copies.

FedEx Kinkos is now FedEx Office: http://www.fedex.com/us/office/

Sandy asks…

Do you prefer UPS or FedEx?

I haven’t had to send very much by either so wouldn’t know how to judge them on that. However, in my past experiences, it seems that receiving mail by UPS is more efficient than FedEx. The projected dealines are more accurate with UPS, I think. Also they seem to move more quickly than FedEx.

Michelle answers:

I have used Fedex and UPS for years. I have always found Fedex more reliable.
Also Fedex Ground is cheaper than UPS ground.
Fedex updates their tracking info more often

I have over 15 years never lost a Fedex Package.. I ship more than 10 packages a month! I have had numerous delays with UPS, especially with overnight. Refund was hard to get with UPS.

Besides Fedex has dropoffs all over and are open late night at the airport.

Ken asks…

Fedex shipping from HONOLULU, HI?

So i ordered a fedex package it shipped from HONOLULU, HI im in cali and it says in transit in MEMPHIS, TN why would they ship it there and not just to california where i am

Michelle answers:

FedEx needs to sort things at large centralized hubs. It’s likely cheaper for FedEx to fly everything from Hawaii to Memphis and then do short flights from there. It would be a lot more complex and expensive to have multiple planes leaving Hawaii for all sorts of cities throughout the U.S. And even the world. They can put everything from Hawaii into just one or two large planes and sort it out on the mainland. What you’re seeing is perfectly normal for FedEx to do.

Susan asks…

What’s FedEx freight?

So is it just FedEx itself like is it another name for FedEx or is it like a shipping name like it ships with cargo only with a truck or both ?

Michelle answers:

FedEx has about five parts. They are: FedEx Corporation, FedEx Ground, FedEx Express, FedEx Freight, and FedEx Services. The link below will give you more Information on each.

Isnt the Food network enough?

Michelle answers:

I have Verizon and fine living network is gone for me too. The worst part is that the Cooking Channel is the same as Food Network it even has some of the same shows.

Jenny asks…

Why is the Chairman of the Iron Chef competitions often not live?

It appears that more and more the Chairman only shows up via video screen rather than actually appear live on Iron Chef. Why is this? This Food Network show seems to be his major line of work and he can’t bother to show up? It looks really odd to see Alton Brown apologize that the Chairman can’t be there and then to see him begin the contest from a large video screen. He also doesn’t show up for other Food Network competitions, he’s shown flying on a plane on something. What’s going on?

Michelle answers:

It only looks that way because Nick Dacascos (the Chairman) was involved with this past season’s Dancing With The Stars and wasn’t avaliable to appear on ICA /The Next Iron Chef in the flesh so he had to appear in pre-filmed inserts (as DWTS conflicted with ICA’s taping schedule for this season’s shows).

Helen asks…

Is is just me or are you over the different chefs on the?

Food Network? I mean, Paul Dean with her :hey ya’ll every other sentence, Giada deLaurentis with her nonaccent and then saying various cheeses with her Italiano accent….Michael Chiarello with his little tidbits….????? what is UP with all that?

Michelle answers:

OH MY GOSH!!!!! There are pure geniuses answering this question….whew, I don’t feel so alone anymore. Here is my dry heaving take on them: First of all, most of them are WAY too full of themselves, the sexy, music in the background (Mike Chiarelli….gag) Rachal Ray rolling the eyes, and her hand movements, counting with her thumb first, ….Emeril for some reason thinks he looks like Pierce Brosnan….Giada and Sandra Lee need to cover the cleavage…..Paula Dean giggles like a drunkard…..Bobbie Flay is just a pretentious jerk……The HEARTY BOYS???? Puleeeezzzze…should be the Ballerina Boys…their recipes are terrible….oh and the drama of the Iron Chef? Huh? They are so stupid…..Alton Brown even gets on my nerves….I can’t watch it anymore. Thanks for this opportunity to rip em!!!!!!

Steven asks…

What are Parmesan poppers and how do you make them?

I saw Parmesan poppers on the info for the TV show Everyday Italian on the Food Network but I missed that part of the show…So if anyone can tell me how to make them then that’d be really great because I think they sound good. Thanks in advance!

Michelle answers:

Oh, my. Don’t these sound good!
