There's a book called "Kids Are Worth It" by Barbara Coloroso. I found it to be very helpful. It's hard to MAKE someone do something, but it is not that hard to refuse to do something for them.
Example: "Mom, can we go to the park?" "Yup. Right after you clean your room."
This technique really, really helped. Because I don't like standing over him, forcing him to do this or that, nagging & all that. Once he learned that there were "extras" I was not going to do as long as his attitude was "let someone else in the family do all the work," he really started to shape up.
Also, with my son, his floor was getting to be knee-deep in Legos, and I could not get him to do a darn thing about it. So one day I put 80 percent of them away in the attic. I left him a decent selection to play with which took two plastic "shoe boxes" to hold, and told him that he would get the rest back when he showed me he could handle it. Well that day never happened, and he has learned to live with fewer Legos. I've even asked him if he was ready to have them back, and he said no. I actually look forward to the day I give him back the Legos, but he's going to have to show a little more initiative.
One more thing. My son is pretty scattered, attention-span-wise. He's all over the map and it's hard for him to stay on task sometimes. So if the job involves many steps, I type them up. Sounds odd, I suppose, but it helps. Now, whenever he has to wash the kitchen floor or clean the bathroom, I just hand him the step-by-step instructions and tell him to go to it.
Of course HOW you present the chores is important too. I found that my son really rebelled when we gave him lists of chores...you know, stuff that was clearly busy-work designed to teach him. That's sort of insulting. But I find that when we are honest and really need his help for something, he does it. Also, we have a thing where he knows that if he blows off his bedtime, he has to do a job the next day. A significant job. Like clean out the fridge, put away a basket of laundry, or whatever. (he is 8) Oddly enough, after he does the jobs, he feels very proud of himself! So even though in this case the chores are a consequence, they end up teaching him and he gets work done (I always assign something that REALLY needs to be done, something valuable, not busy-work designed to punish.)
I used to get thrown off by people like Dayna Martin who never ask their kids to do chores, and magically they willingly help out on their own, but it wasn't happening in our house. I find that locating that spot in between being a stern task-master and a resentful doormat is key. :-)
How exactly did you present his chores? Did you tell him he'd have to do them and then tell him what you wanted him to do? Did make a list or spreadsheet of his responsibilities?
At this point all I want them to do is clean up their play room. They actually do not have a lot of toys, a wooden house and some horses, drum set, guitar and keyboard. Also art supplies. I have problems with them taking food in there and leaving it on the floor or leaving wrappers everywhere. They have a trash can in there that I empty often. However if I go in there to get the trash it will be empty and the trash will be under a chair. Shoes dirty socks everywhere. And currently theres a vat of beads on the floor. Since I just cleaned the playroom two days ago and I went in there to take out the trash... it's a horrendous mess all over again. I'm kind of considering locking the door with all their stuff in it. I"m seriously that mad.

so there are two kinds of chores in our house.
one that is a command and dd knows she does not have the choice. it has to be done.
two - its a request which means she does not have to do it. if she chooses to she can either do it or refuse.
mostly they are all requests. or commands which include giving her some control like she has to do something by such and such time and does she agree. she is allowed to ask me for help which if i am able to i will. if it is a command its because its for a reason (like guests coming over) and usually i am not free to help.
clean your room is not a command. its like saying 'write a paper on the computer". well u need more info than that, esp. when they are at the age where the dirty socks will be right under their nose and they cant see it. for that reason you have to be specific. instead of saying clean your room, i say pick up your socks, put the beads away (you migth already be doign this).
but here is my secret. dd has been doing chores since she could crawl (she WANTED to do it to show her independence - i dont give her chores, she asks for them because its not chores but helping out in our family). and the secret is me cleaning her room and she cleaning my stuff and joint stuff. i put her clothes away, she puts mine away.
even today at 9 she does a LOT at home. however ask her to clean her room and its 'moAHM NOT now. i am too busy'. yet she happily does the laundry, dishes, cooking, sweep and mop but her space. HAH!!!!

We are working on this at our house too.
I made a detailed list of what they are to do each day, and I check it at the same time every day (right after I get home from work). It is the exact same list every day and includes exciting things like "neatly hang up towel" and "empty dishwasher." It's nearly a page long, but most the things on it take 2 secs. It's making a massive difference in how our house feels,though. If you want, I could copy it paste it here (but most likely not until the weekend).
A check list for a playroom could include thing like checking that all trash is in can, dishes and shoes have been removed, etc. For bedrooms our list is something like "make bed, put clothes in hamper or away, put reading material away, tidy nightstand and dresser, close closet door"
but the key here is breaking it into tiny steps and then checking the list every single day.

We started doing a ChorePack with my DS, who is four, this year. The Duggars use this kind of idea and I got it from Masters of Their Chores by the Maxwells. Basically it's a laminated pack that you put chore cards in that hangs around their neck (or ckips to their shirt). He puts it on in the morning after breakfast. Once a chore is completeed, I inspect it to make sure that it was done properly. Then he puts it behind the other chore cards in the pack and does the next chore. He has both a picture of the chpore & the words on it (he is a reader but likes the pictures too- makes it more fun). He has morning and evening chores and in-between chores. I can add to this new cards as he grows in ability.
Right now, for age 4, his chores include:
-Wipe table after breakfast
-Unload dishwasher
-Hang up/fold all of his own clean clothes out of the laundry
-Get dressed
-Put pajamas away
-Brush teeth
-Read his Bible
-Straighten up room/living room
Ones he does on occasion that I am sooner going to be making a daily thing
-Help make lunch/dinner
-Sweep the kitchen
By the time he's five, I hope to add a few more like wiping down the bathroom sink/counter/tub edge.
Anyway. I had to take him step by step through the process. It helps to make a detailed description of each chore, esp for readers/older kids so that they know they are doing a thorough job. I do not pay my son for doing these things. He is just expected to help out. Once he gets to the age that he can do ut of the ordinary type work then I might pay him for it.

Also, if they can't learn to care for their own things, I will take away their things. If your kids make a huge mess in the playroom and leave it for you to clean up, teach them to respect their things or they will no longer have them. *hugs* How old are your kids?
I also have a "no-food in the house except the kitchen" rule. Saves a ton of headache and mess.

Here's the system I developed a few years ago: (i'm shamelessly cutting and pasting from another post)
We started "chore time" when dd was about 3 and ds was about 6. Chore time consisted of 15 minutes after dinner. I wrote down very specific things on popsicle sticks for them to do. they would pull a stick, do the chore and go back for the next one until the 15 minutes were up. I'd mix them up depending on what needed to be done. "Pick up 15 things on the living room floor." (The fact that this was in there several times gives you some general idea of the state of the living room floor!) "Vacuum stairs." "Scrub sink in bathroom". When they were really little, I had to work with them, showing them how to do it. You have to realize that it's sometimes more work to teach them than it is to do it yourself. The bonus will come later.
They key to making this work is that we did it every single night and the whole family worked at the same time. Nothing else happened until the timer beeped and those 15 minutes were up. And yes, some nights they didn't do much. Some nights I lost my temper because it took them 15 minutes to pick up the six pairs of shoes in the living room .
We've recently moved to a 'new' system. Our kids are 7 and 10 and can handle more responsibilities. I've made a list of chores that need to be done to keep the house minimally clean. It doesn't include the decluttering and other things (like cleaning out the fridge) that need to be done. Those are still parent jobs. I've divided them into roughly 6 days' worth of work (Tuesday is garbage night). It doesn't matter which chore is done on which day, but over the course of a week, all should be done. And instead of working for 15 minutes, they work until their chore is done. This does reward ds a bit because he's more focused. I still have to keep an eye on him and make sure he's thorough enough (he's older so my standards are higher for him.) Last night, the kids scrubbed the bathroom floors. The night before the kids cleaned the bathroom sinks and the toilets while I changed their sheets. Today, they picked up things on their bedroom floors because tomorrow we will vacuum.
In addition to the family chore time, I've added unloading the dishwasher for ds. He does it when I tell him to. He never remembers and often tries to weasel out of it. I've only lost my temper once or twice, and told him that if he wants to eat, he can darn well help us with the dishes! (Ds likes to be served, so it's an uphill battle with him.)
So, things that work for us are:
Being very very very specific about what needs to be done
Working with our kids, often right next to them showing them what to do until they've learned how to do it
Being consistent about doing chores daily (when we get busy and skip a few days, I always get more complaints and backlash from the kids)
Adjusting expectations to their skill levels and ages
Ok ladies lots of help thank you so much.
The girls are 9 and 7. They actually don't have many toys due to my toss all broken or too dirty to care about rule. They got lots of Christmas money this year and were allowed to spend it on what they wanted. They did get a lot of toys. I have them nice containers to keep all the toys separate and put up. I put it all way first and explained to them what needs to be done. Obviously they won't do it otherwise I wouldn't be begging you guys for help.
I'm going to start a list of things that are most definitely their responsibility and things that would help if they do it. And I really like the idea of small steps to get there.
Does anyone have a specific time that in the day that works best for kids that do go to school?
post #10 of 371/12/12 at 7:10pmWhat do you mean they won't do it? Is that actually an option in your house? My kids do not have the option to not clean their room when I tell them to. There are consequences for every action, or inaction. If I tell them to clean their room they do it or they will lose their stuff. It's that simple. I don't want to see it lying all over the place so if they don't do it their stuff will be put into a garbage bag for a week. After the week they get their stuff back and they will put it away or it will be gone again. I'm the parent and they need to learn responsibility. But I guess I'm the odd one out here.
post #12 of 371/12/12 at 7:37pmWhen my children have chores to do, it's not a request, nor is it phrased as one. I tell them to do it now and it works better if I supervise them. It also goes much quicker. They are very prone to overlook things that are right in front of their faces. Eg, I ask if everything is picked up and they say yes, but when I check there are still toys all over. They're not ignoring them, they just don't see what I see or consider it clean when I consider it clean. So I supervise. It's a PITB, but it cuts the time spent on chores down to a fraction and also helps my frustration levels.
All food stays in the kitchen. This is one we're still working on, but you won't believe the difference a designated eating area makes. It cuts down on the mess and the food stashed all over. BIG time. :) Have them focus on different tasks, because in our house two kids responsible for the same thing just turns it into a competition. We focus on having toys picked up before bed time or when the mess just becomes too much during the day, we do a quick clean up.
Almost everything is an option in our house. Well except hygiene... not an option at all! Eating a decent meal is not an option either. Cleaning up at the table not an option. The rest used to be an option but no longer. I've had enough of all this cleaning after capable children. DH helped them clean their play room yesterday and vacuumed up anything left on the floor. They knew it would happen and yet they still didn't even attempt to pick up their beads. So they lost them. Everything else they put away nicely. I picked up hundreds of beads on my own as I really didn't want them all gone. Since they can spend hours making things. The new rule in the house stems from leaving a mess. If you want to go out and play you need to make sure the play room is clean. They have to check the house for their shoes and clothes they've just thrown about. We did it all together last night and a quick pick up only took us 15 minutes. They're afraid to play in their playroom now though. DD1 said she's prone to messiness and she doesn't want to have to clean so she spent the evening reading instead.

I'll think a bit more about it (not like our place is *clean* and I'm an *expert* ), but I've always done regular picking up times before meals (so, before I start making dinner I'll ask dd1 to make sure she picks up bigger stuff she's working on, check table and clear as much as she can do - if she balks, I get specific and say she needs to get her art things picked up, or gather all the dishes, etc). If it's some night we're staying up later (like on the weekend), I try to get in a bigger house picking up first (so, extra stuff in her room or things like that). We generally do it together.
Getting stuff done before meals or as part of bedtime has worked fine with school. She never wants to pick up stuff right when she gets home, so thats the worst time. Sometimes deferring to dd things that I normally do (ie. letting her do the vacuuming, clean the tub & toilet) while I fit/organize all the tiny toys on the shelves or clear off her dresser, etc. works out better than expecting her to do tasks like that. Sometimes I've had 'misplaced stuff' baskets or bags around the house to be able to dump stuff in that just doesn't go there, and then have dd, dh sort through later and put their things away (so I can at least clean up and they still are responsible for their things).
You know I have tried this and it always seemed to work. When the DD's wanted me in the play room I would say I needed a place to sit if I had to go in there. And I didnt want to sit on a lego or doll shoe. They would go in and shove things to the side. Of course It wasn't clean. When we clear the table for dinner I can get them to help with that but they try to stack their books on the floor. I've shown them the proper places for everything daily. I just have to keep showing them how to take care of these clean ups. Eventually we'll get there.

post #16 of 371/13/12 at 10:35amWould a weekly clean up work better for them? I used to have my dd clean up nightly, but since I started working full time it has been hard to keep track of it and she is tired by the end of the day. It was taking so much energy and causing such a strain on our relationship that I changed to requiring her to do one big clean up on Sunday, unless a friend is coming over then she has to help me get it organized. At first she tried getting out of it by whining and grumping but I made it clear that she had to have it done before watching a movie at 6:00 on Sunday night. The timing was under her control but the actual action of cleaning the room was a requirement. Now she just does it and doesn't fuss.
The stuff she brings into a room that isn't hers does still have to be put away right after using it, but that doesn't usually cause her trouble because she has had enough stuff eaten by the dog when she left it unsupervised. Books are also always stacked neatly on the floor by her bed in a small pile or put back on her shelf (and that is just because I have always been anal about caring for books). When it does cause her trouble I offer to put it away in my closet until she feels ready to clean up after herself another day and she comes around quickly.

I have fallen off my system this pregnancy but I am getting back on board. I just made checklists (for some reason they accept the checklist much easier then me telling them) . They have a morning checklist for before school, an after school checklist and an evening checklist. Once we get used to this again then we will add some new chores in because they are old enough to help more. I think though taking them from pretty much no expectations to tons isn't going to help. Once their checklist is done they can choose what they want to do play wise. I will be making a weekend one too. Over the summer my 8 year old had to do a load of laundry every day, that isn't practical during the school year so I will have do 2 loads do laundry on the weekends. I think I might do a popsicle stick type thing our an extra assigned chore on school days we don't have a lot going on.
Oh and I got to hear Barbara Colorosa speak at the LLL conference, amazing!
post #18 of 371/13/12 at 1:33pmSo this is not specifically addressing the "chores" aspect, but just curious and it might be helpful (or not...)
I read "Simplicity Parenting" recently and the part about your daughters not caring if their beads got vacuumed made me wonder...have you thought about just simplifying their stuff? If they had fewer things (but that they really loved and could get tons of "play" out of) it might make them (a) better able to manage it and (b) want to take better care of it. Given that you already toss what is dirty or broken, and given that you are already doing 2012 in 2012 maybe this isn't an issue for you.
Yeah they really don't have a lot of stuff. They do leave clothes, paper, pens and other things around. As well as cups and plates. I think I'm really going to have to get tougher on them with eating or snacking outside the dining room. And I may say no more to beads when they want more for jewelery making. I don't feel they valued the ones they had.

post #20 of 371/13/12 at 3:09pmThis may sound harsh, but my rule is generally, if you can't take care of your things, then you aren't old enough to have them. If things start to get messy, I will politely ask to have them picked up, and if DD doesn't pick them up (usually with some help from me since she is only 3) then I remind her that if she isn't ready to take care of her things I will put them away in the closet and we will try again tomorrow. We usually have 15 minute clean up sessions though out the week, and all family members participate.
With older children I would probably put up a white board to write chores down on for the day for each family member. Then designate times during the day for clean up (15 minutes after breakfast/after dinner). I would then let them know that I will be doing inspections after bedtime, and anything not put away will go in the closet. I would also make sure you do have a space for ongoing projects, like block or lego structures... since these may be played with for many days and don't necessarily need to be cleaned up.
Maybe for the jewelry, you could set up a table and get some of those large flat tupperware containers for storing them in, so it would be easier to see what they're looking for, but make clean up easy.

Breakthrough Study That Found Consciousness In Vegetative Patients Was Flawed
A reanalysis by a second research group suggests a 2011 study that used EEG to detect consciousness in three vegetative patients was fooled by randomness.
In late 2011, a University of Western Ontario study rocked the neuroscience community by reporting that inexpensive and portable handheld electroencephalogram (EEG) scanners had detected signs of consciousness in three people thought to be in persistent vegetative states. Now a team of researchers from Weill Cornell Medical College (that's Cornell University's medical school in NYC) is saying "not so fast." In this week's issue of the journal Lancet, the Weill Cornell team says the study suffers from statistical errors. More to the point, the Western Ontario researchers misinterpreted noise in the data.
In the original study, researchers took EEG readings of 16 patients in persistent vegetative states while asking them to perform simple physical tasks, like wiggling their toes. Of those, the study claimed, three showed neural activity when given the command that is consistent with understanding and responding to aforementioned command. The findings were huge, or so it seemed at the time. Not only did they demonstrate that it's possible to perceive consciousness in those thought to be in vegetative states, but it's possible to do so with a cheap, bedside diagnostic.
The reanalysis team from Weill Cornell is careful to note that it did not set out to refute the earlier study, but rather to confirm it. And while it doesn't criticize the idea of using bedside EEG for consciousness detection, it does criticize the statistical methods the Western Ontario researchers used to arrive at their conclusions. The Western Ontario team failed to account for noise in the data, the reanalysis says, like "contamination of EEG signals with muscle activity and the random characteristics of the EEG over extended periods of time." The report goes on to note that the signals the original researchers pointed to as proof of conscious thought don't look the same as the signals that were observed in the control group.
Of course, the parameters of consciousness are very important to the people they most effect. Families often have to make life-and-death decisions based on a doctor's opinion of whether loved ones in persistent vegetative states can regain consciousness or not.
While this is a setback for the original study findings and perhaps for the U. of Western Ontario team, it's not necessarily a setback for neuroscience at large. This is how peer review works, and the occasional refutation of scientific claims proves exactly that--that it works.

Mr. Clay Dillow, in your fourth paragraph, you said: "Of course, the parameters of consciousness are very important to the people they most effect." There's a typo. It's supposed to say "affect", not "effect". To all other commentators: please don't attack me for commenting just to fix a minor typo.
You must always consider the source. The University of Western Ontario has a long track record of insipid, inaccurate pronouncements based on faulty or indequate research and using voodoo analyses in both science and business. I never trust any of this university's "fabulous research findings" because they are usually just plain wrong or, at best, misleading. They do this to continue the funding they receive from the Ontario provincial government and the federal government of Canada.
Not so fast-fast, thoughts can be transient. So, is it noise, or do we just need a way to make the unthinkable more tolerable for us. I would move them into scanning facilities with more than one scanner to calibrate and train people on that equipment. Then if in the process an anomaly is found they can be quickly double checked.
Isn't there a glaring flaw here? Weill Cornell did not test the SAME patients. Even Western Ontario didn't get results in all of their patients, so for this to prove or disprove Western Ontario, Weill Cornell needs to test the same patients.

text: I pretty much breezed through pregnancy #1, and must admit I'm a bit surprised how sick I feel all the time with pregnancy #2 (I'm about week 7). I remember reading about "preggie pops" (I think) with #1, and now I'm wondering if they really work, and where I can get one fast?! I just went shopping at our local Whole Foods Market and they didn't seem to have them there. Anyone have any experience with preggie pops?

A non-profit group in Texas is offering college scholarships to a demographic it says has fewer scholarship opportunities than other groups – white males.
The group, called the Former Majority Association for Equality (FMAFE), was formed by Texas State University student Colby Bohannan. He's an Iraq war veteran who decided to return to school but said he had trouble finding college scholarships for which he qualified. "I felt excluded," Bohannon told The Austin American-Statesman. "If everyone else can find scholarships, why are we [white males] left out?" So Bohannon and some friends founded FMAFE group, which plans to provide as many as five $500 scholarships to deserving white men – at least 25 percent Caucasian to be exact – who have at least a 3.0 grade point average and substantiate financial need. "We know that we're going to be receiving some vicious attacks, from people claiming that we are racists, or promoting some bigotry-filled agenda," he said. But Bohannan reiterates that the group's aim is to help students and not jump on any political agenda or bandwagon.
The group was formally incorporated in Texas last March, and is currently accepting applications for Fall 2011. "We're not looking for blond-haired, blue-eyed, stereotypical white males," he said. "My feeling is that if you can say you're 25 percent Caucasian, you're Caucasian enough for us."

Deadlines and due dates are serious stressors for almost everyone on the planet and this anxiety is only intensified when there's money on the line. In the month of March, scholarship deadlines are ample and abundant to say the least and here at Scholarships.com, we know that you're so busy during the school year with homework, extracurricular obligations and jobs that finding the time to successfully apply for scholarships and actually meeting those scholarship application deadlines can seem downright impossible. With the right strategy and willpower, however, you can stay on track and easily defeat those deadlines woes.
Perhaps the best advice for meeting scholarship application deadlines is to be honest with yourself about what you're likely to finish and how long it's likely to take you. If you know that you're not going to be able to write a scholarship-worthy essay in less than a day, then you should either give yourself more time to prepare a particular scholarship application or to cross that essay scholarship off your list of potential sources of scholarship money. The key to effectively meeting scholarship application deadlines and winning scholarships is to effectively prioritize your scholarship opportunities and application efforts. Don't strain yourself, don't procrastinate and don't force yourself into a situation where you must submit subpar work. Give yourself time, get organized and prepare as much as possible beforehand and you'll be on well on your way to success in your scholarship search.
Below are some scholarships with fast-approaching applications deadlines. Remember, the sooner you start your scholarship search the better; it really could make all the difference when it comes to making a serious dent in your post-college financial situation.

Since the dawn of the Nuclear Age, the United States has spent over $7.5 trillion on nuclear weapons and their delivery systems. The U.S. continues to spend at least $54 billion annually on nuclear weapons-related activities.
If you, like the Nuclear Age Peace Foundation, are committed to a world free of nuclear weapons make a video of three minutes or less addressing the following question: How would the world look if the funds allocated to nuclear weapons throughout the Nuclear Age ($7.5 trillion for the U.S. alone) had been spent instead on building a more decent world?
The contest is open to people of all ages. Employees or paid consultants of the Nuclear Age Peace Foundation, or their immediate family members, are not eligible for a prize. All entries must be received electronically by 5:00 pm Pacific Time on April 1st.

Want to put a serious dent in your tuition? You'll need three things: a working knowledge of the Civil War, a Scholarships.com account and the link directing you to the National Civil War Student Challenge.
The National Civil War Student Challenge is an academic competition presented by HISTORY® and Houghton Mifflin Harcourt that gives students a chance to showcase their knowledge of one of the most pivotal events in American history and qualify to win up to $15,000 in college scholarships. Although all U.S. high school students who are in grades 9 through 12 and are between the ages of 13 and 19 are eligible to participate, content is geared toward the 11th grade curriculum. The top-30 scoring students will be invited to take a 90-minute, proctored in-school Final Exam to determine the top 10 scholarship winners.
Registration is now open on the official website so sign up and start studying. And remember, there are plenty more scholarship opportunities in the Scholarships.com database...check out our free college scholarship search today!

Here at Scholarships.com, our goal is to make finding money for college as easy as possible. Paying the full cost of tuition out of pocket isn't in the cards for most college-bound students and high-interest loans aren't the most desirable options for others, meaning some students' quests for postsecondary degrees must be funded solely by scholarships, grants and fellowships. Can it be done? Of course it can. You just need the right people on your side.
Alaska Governor Sean Parnell recently requested the funding of the incoming Alaska Performance Scholarship program, a nurse training proposal and a handful of other educational priorities from state lawmakers. While Parnell feels students have worked hard to earn state-funded performance-based scholarship dollars and would be "out to dry" without it, senators worry the program could leave rural students behind if aid is distributed unevenly across the state...not to mention create a potential legal problem given the state constitution's promise of fair education services. Students seeking need-based grants do have the existing AlaskAdvantage program to turn to but it is significantly underfunded. It could, however, gain support through Senate Bill 43, which calls for AlaskAdvantage to receive $7 million of the proposed $21 million in state college scholarship funding on an annual basis.
Will it happen? Our Magic 8-Ball says "cannot predict now" but we hope it goes through for the sake of the many students in need. How are you currently paying for or planning to pay for school? What programs have you found most helpful in securing the funding you need?

Most 14-years-olds spend their school days learning algebra and being awkward. Not Colin Carlson: He's too busy earning hefty scholarships for graduate school.
Carlson is a higher education veteran despite his limited years. Since the age of nine, Carlson has been taking classes at the University of Connecticut and today, he is a junior in the honors program and is working toward a dual degree in evolutionary biology and in environmental studies and ecology. The scholarship – $30,000 from the Truman Scholars program – is only the fourth of its kind bestowed upon a UConn student and these funds, plus another recently awarded $7,500 from the Barry M. Goldwater Scholarship program for students headed into mathematics, science or engineering careers, will surely help the real genius as he pursues a law degree, a doctorate and a career in environmental advocacy.
Some may say $30,000 isn't that much money for college these days but to others, it's a life-changing sum. How are you planning to pay for school?

Once upon a time, a handsome Prince asked a beautiful Princess
to marry him. The Princess said "No, but thank you for asking!"
And the Prince went away,
and lived happily ever after,
and he rode motorcycles,
and dated younger women,
and went deep sea fishing,
and hunted wild game,
and he gambled and played golf,
and chugged beer and drank whiskey,
and had mucho dinero in the bank,
and left the toilet seat up,
and he farted whenever he wanted.

I said something similar in another thread, but martinibuster's post is really on the money. Most folks on WebmasterWorld will respect and listen to someone more if they're more careful about assertions (labeling things one believes vs. known facts). That and not shouting, of course. :)

Indianapolis —
The Indianapolis Colts have surprised many fans and media around the National Football League after getting off to a 4-3 start this season.
After all, the Colts underwent a major roster shift during the offseason by releasing or not re-signing several notable veteran starters. Indianapolis is now one of the youngest, and least experienced, teams in the league.
But after last Sunday's 19-13 road win over Tennessee, the team's second straight win, the Colts find themselves alone in second place in the AFC South.
Indianapolis has already doubled its win total from a year ago (2-14) and have moved from being 32nd in the weekly ESPN NFL power rankings to being the sixth-ranked team in the AFC.
Not too shabby. Most Colts players will say that their record should be 5-2 after letting a late lead slip away in a 22-17 loss to Jacksonville at Lucas Oil Stadium on Sept. 23.
One thing is certain, though. Nobody — be it Indianapolis' players or coaches — are getting too caught up in the team's modest taste of success. Even if some of the national media are talking about a possible post-season run as a wild-card participant.
Another possible wild-card contender is this week's opponent at Lucas Oil Stadium, Miami. The Dolphins are also 4-3 with a rookie quarterback (Ryan Tannehill), a first-year coach (Joe Philbin) and a rebuilt roster.
"I think you realize who cares if the playoffs started today. They don't. It doesn't matter what your record is now. It matters what it is after that last week," rookie quarterback Andrew Luck said Wednesday.
"Realize [that] it's a week-by-week thing. I realize that's a very cliché thing. We are not looking ahead to anything. It's the Dolphins. It's great that people say nice things about us, great if people said bad things about us, whatever. It's part of playing this game. We are just worried about trying to win football games."
Luck says the focus this week is on the Dolphins and nothing else.
"Absolutely. This is the biggest game to date and that's how we'll approach it because it is. It truly is," he said.
The quarterback's concentration this week in practice, as well as Sunday during the game, will be on trying to figure out a Miami defense that has played well in recent weeks.
"Absolutely. I think how good the Dolphins are on third down, red zone, rushing the passer, blitzing, we've got to be on our stuff. Turnovers, no can do. Negative plays can't happen," Luck said. "We are going to have to be 100 percent focused and hopefully that'll give us a chance to win."
Injury list
Cornerback Vontae Davis (knee) and rookie tight end Coby Fleener (shoulder) have both been ruled out of Sunday's game with the Dolphins.
They were hurt in last week's win over Tennessee. Davis and Fleener are expected to be sidelined for two weeks. Also sitting out Wednesday's practice were outside linebacker Dwight Freeney (ankle), inside linebacker Pat Angerer (foot) and inside linebacker Jerrell Freeman (foot).
Freeney has been nursing a sore ankle all season but is expected to start the Miami game. Angerer was wearing a boot on his right foot and Freeman had one on his left foot Wednesday.
Cornerback Darius Butler (shoulder) and outside linebacker Robert Mathis (knee) had limited work on Wednesday. They may be cleared later in the week to play against the Dolphins. Defensive tackle Fili Moala (knee) and Luck (knee) both fully practiced.
Moala has been sidelined for the last three weeks but saw some limited work in practice last week, as did Mathis. Luck has been undergoing treatment for a sore knee the last two weeks but is fine otherwise. He will start the Miami game.
Roster moves
The Colts elevated cornerback Marshay Green and fullback Robert Hughes to the active roster and signed cornerback Teddy Williams to the practice squad.
Indianapolis also released nose tackle Antonio Dixon and veteran running back Mewelde Moore. The team added running back Alvester Alexander to the practice squad. It's the second time this season that Alexander has been on the Colts' practice squad.
Rookie nose tackle Josh Chapman (knee) is in his second week of practice as a member of the reserved/physically unable to play list. No decision is expected this week on Chapman's chances of playing against Miami or next week at New England.
Rookie offensive tackle Justin Anderson (foot) practiced for the first time Wednesday as a member of the reserved/PUP list.

Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus Video
Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus Video Transcript
-Hey guys, Eric Franklin here, and today, we're taking a first look at the Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus. This is the direct followup to the Samsung Galaxy Tab, which ran Android 2.2. The 7 plus, comes with Honeycomb 3.2 installed with Samsung's custom TouchWiz interface. The physical design has been changed to be sleeker and less boxy, but includes mostly the same features. Headphone jack and mic, SD card slot, dual speakers, and power button and volume racker. The design is slightly thinner than the original tab, but not quite as thin as the galaxy tab 10.1. The biggest addition is the IR sensor here that couple with the few app, turns the tablet into smart remote control. Few allows you to customize the types of shows it recommends as well as favorite in programs so it knows which types of shows to prioritize. You can also use it to manually switch channels. Right now, the app doesn't really have much use If you're a cheapskate like and you don't have cable. Also, we talked some issue with the swipe controls and would prefer a more directional control. Other than the addition to field, the 7 plus is fairly typical for a honeycomb tablet with a quality screen, with good viewing angles. While few has a new feature, we're more looking forward to when it integrates streaming services like Netflix and Hulu increasing its usefulness. The 7 plus is available for 340 bucks at its lowest. This is the Wi-Fi version, and the T-Mobile version, will come at a lower subsidise price of 250 bucks in addition to the monthly fee. Check out the full review for more info and to see what our recommendation is. Once again, this is Eric Franklin, and this has been the first look at the Samsung Galaxy 7.0 plus.

Complaint Review: UNIVERASAL TRAVEL NETWORK
KANSAS CITY, Missouri USA |
UNIVERASAL TRAVEL NETWORK ATR WHOLESALER , UTN WHOLESALER, ABC TRAVELERS, MANY MORE FRAUDENT INFORMATION THAT IS NOT TOLD UNTIL YOU RECEIVE YOUR PACKAGE EXPLAINING THAT IS A VACATION PROGRAM AND NOT A ACTUAL TRIP. KANSAS CITY Missouri
Does your business have a bad reputation?
Fix it the right way.
Corporate Advocacy Program™
RE: Refund request and complaint due to misleading information and purchase (fraud)
I paid with an understanding we was booking a trip for $300.00 for 2 traveler based upon the information given, it does not mention a vacation program which this company is promoting. Jennifer the customer service rep explained after the payments was confirmed, everyone would receive a confirmation email about the trip. There was no recorded conversation to confirm with me over the phone, that I accepted a vacation travel program. I only discussed a trip going to Las Vegas with Family and friends, it was never told to me I had 72 hours to cancel .If there was a recorded conversation, I wasn't aware. And that is against the law. I never received any of your terms and conditions until I received the package, after I paid my monies under false pretense.
I received a confirmation and some documents via email, informing me that I have chosen by universal travel network program for the them (The travel Center) to handle the vacation program. I began reading the information and found that this was not a trip but a vacation travel program, with a bonus trip which I was not interested in. I called the travel center at 1888-212-7723 to discuss exactly what kind of vacation program they offered. The customer service rep informed me that they are middle man that activate the trip and place the people with the booking companies, and they are not responsible for anything that was told to me about the package and what they sold me, basically she referred me back to Universal Network. I called Universal Network Travel and Jennifer was not available, she would never speak to me, so I ask to speak to a supervisor. No one was available to talk me and they would always hang up the phone and continue to play dumb and rude or transfer me to customer service. I was told from the customer service rep if I wanted to speak to a supervisor to contact them via email. All the customer service rep was able to do is explain how their program worked and that it was a 15 month travel program where you have access to go to a web site to get discounted trips, and for joining you get a bonus trip of your choice. None of that information was given on the brochure or discussed with me prior to paying my money. Also I was told I couldn't get a refund because I had up to 72 hours to cancel and that everything had to be in by 90 Days to the booking company to get a trip confirmation, to secure the dates I needed, I immediately sent them $138.00 to cover payments for 2 individuals of $69.00 each in form in the amount of $69.00, totaling 552.00, This was sent to the travel center. The confirmed payments were received in 3 days certified mail.
I later received a call and was told it would take another 10-14 days to receive a voucher and be assigned to a booking agent (Grand Incentives). At this point it was becoming very distressing and disappointing. I received information from the booking company, after reading the terms and conditions. I became more frustrated and began to wonder if there were more hidden fees because the booking company is now asking for more money in the amount of $99.00 for processing fees another bit of information that was withheld at the time of booking this trip only to find out after I paid. I was not made aware that I had to wait 30 more days before I could book the trip, after a form had to be sent to the booking company on a form indicating where I wanted to go, along with 2 other destinations and dates. I was not unaware that they would be choosing my destination and dates. If I had known what this process consisted of I would have gone through a local travel agency. I feel as though I have been misled taken advantage of. After research and information obtained concerning this company, BBB sent me documents that this travel company is under investigation. I have been ripped off and scammed, and I demanded refund for my money.
Please be aware because I intend to pursue every legal avenue available to be refunded.

I do the same on occassion. If its from a publisher I don't know, or something that looks interesting, but not great, I'll grab it. When Dragon Age came out I hadn't heard of BioWare. After about 20 minutes of playing I bought it. And Mass Effect. And KotOR. And Jade Empire. And looked for Baldur's Gate on Amazon because Steam didn't have it.
So- because of that, BioWare has made a huge chunk of cash off me. Since I like what they do I continue to give them money so that they can continue to make games.

Owners praise the basic Mr. Coffee Switch DW12 for its large capacity and intuitive design. This coffee maker doesn't offer advanced features, but it does come with a budget price. Consumers who easily remember to turn the coffee pot on each morning say they love the Mr. Coffee Switch, but those who like to plan everything the night before say they prefer programmable models, like the Cuisinart Brew Central DCC-1200 (*Est. $80) .
The Switch coffee maker (which comes in white as the DW12 or in black as the DW13) is a basic coffee maker with a glass carafe and warming plate to maintain the temperature of coffee after it's brewed. It does offer see-through windows so you can clearly see how much water is in the reservoir, and some owners prefer glass carafes so they can easily see how much coffee remains. A smaller, 4-cup capacity model is available: Mr. Coffee Switch TF-4 (*Est. $25) . The most common complaint about both models is that the carafe tends to leak during pouring.
The Mr. Coffee Switch DW12 isn't covered by ConsumerReports.org or Cook's Illustrated magazine, but we did find a number of owner-written reviews on sites like Amazon.com, Walmart.com and Viewpoints.com.
