We had Xfinity voice service installed on Monday. The voicemail indicator light is not working, nor do we get the two beeps you are supposed to get to let you know you have a voicemail when taking the phone off the hook.
The Comcast Cares Team has been notified and will get it fixed.
Watch this post and your email for updates from the team.
Sorry for the inconvenience. I have reset your message waiting indicator. Can you leave yourself a voicemail and verify if it is now working. I will have someone follow up with you as well.
I have just the opposite issue. The the past two days our voice message indicator light on our Uniden cordless phones has been continually blinking with no voice mail present. I have reset it by either holding down the page button on the phone or creating a "test" voice mail and deleting it. In both cases the light will stop blinking for a few minutes and then start up again. How can this be fixed?
I'm having the same problem. Indicator light keeps showing up, but no new voicemails. I've been calling home phone with my cell phone to leave a message so I can delete it, which turns off the indicator light, but the light comes back on again approx. 10 minutes (or less) later.

New Lunch Ticket Heads Up #2
We are having some issues with our daily lunch procedures. Because of this, we have started a new ticket procedure. Currently too many participants bypass the sign-in procedure, so we are not getting reimbursed for all the meals we serve. With food prices on the increase, it is vital that we get reimbursed for each meal we serve.
The new process is: When you come in, you will be asked if you want lunch. If yes, you will be asked to initial next to your name if you are a frequent guest. If you are not a frequent participant, you will be asked to sign a different sheet. The donation process remains the same. You will receive a ticket; place this ticket at your place on the table when you go in for lunch. You must be seated and have a ticket to receive a meal. No ticket, or lost ticket, you will be asked to go back to the reception area for a new ticket and check the sign in. Please do not go to the kitchen counter as this impedes service. We expect some glitches and appreciate your comments and help as we get this new process up and running efficiently. Thank you.
3rd Thursdays of each month
Celebrate Birthdays the 3rd Thursdays of each Month. Birthday cake served.

Effective Teams
A high performing group of employees dedicated to planning and working together with a common goal in mind is what drives companies forward, or at the very least, gets things done!
Read all about it! Whether it's recruitment advice, championing causes we're passionate about, or just general musings, you'll find it all here!
A high performing group of employees dedicated to planning and working together with a common goal in mind is what drives companies forward, or at the very least, gets things done!
The rate at which HR teams have had to shift their focus from recruitment and retention to consultation and redundancy is striking.
If you are a naturally shy person, then you may find the prospect of networking and entering a room full of strangers very daunting.
Finance departments are vital to business success and, particularly in a challenging business environment the role of accountants will prove to be absolutely critical.
Being a disco diva of the 1980's, the words in the song title by Billy Ocean, "When The Going Gets Tough" resonate with me right now.
Last week we had the enormous pleasure of spending an hour with Martin Ingram on his Original 106 FM lunchtime radio show.
Forming the final chapter in our Festive Fun trilogy we rap our hearts out (sort of) to wish you all a very Merry Christmas.
In a busy (sometimes frantic) workplace there's never enough time - always a new goal to strive towards, a problem to solve, sometimes a failure to learn from and a success to be proud of.
Sweaty palms? Nervous butterflies in your stomach? Not quite sure how to start the conversation? Thinking of starting with, "It's not you, it's me, I just need a change?"
Being involved in Ride The North has put me way out of my comfort zone - it requires putting safety over style!
Wishing you could drop down to a four day week? Would working from home regularly mean you could work full-time? Well, all you have to do is ask!
Recruitment consultancies should look confidently to the future.
Did you know that despite women holding 46% of the UK's wealth, only 2% of business angels in Scotland are female?
Anne sticks out from the crowd in her first cycling sportif!
For many people writing a career profile is such a daunting task that they put off updating their CV and even delay finding a new job.
So, you think the hard part is over because you've selected your bike. Oh, how naive!
Anne Smith, a member of our Ride The North team, shares the trials and tribulations of getting back in the saddle.
'Tell me a little about yourself?' It's often the first question an interviewer asks and the answer he remembers most.
Interviewing for a job is a two way conversation. On the one hand, candidates should be selling themselves to the company and on the other, the hiring manager needs to sell the job and the company to the candidate.
I'm confused by the perception that the only people to benefit from the energy sector skills shortage are recruiters.

Justin Rose of Britain and Peter Hanson of Sweden won the Tyco Golf Skills Challenge at the Breakers on Monday. Rose and Hanson beat recent U.S. Ryder Cup rivals Dustin Johnson and Keegan Bradley in the Reverse Scramble finale to secure the title. The Reverse Scramble went to two tee-offs before being decided in a chip-off. Hanson chipped to within 2 feet, 10 inches of the hole, beating out Bradley's chip that was 3 feet, 6 inches away. Rose and Hanson earned $285,000 in the made-for-TV event that will air on NBC in December. The other two teams that took part in the event were Zach Johnson and Kyle Stanley, and Mark O'Meara and Nick Price. The six skills were: long drive, mid-iron, bunker shot, chip shot, trouble shot, and short iron.

A Rockville self-storage company has been sued for $1 million by a former employee — a black woman — who claims it violated her civil rights by underpaying her, firing her and replacing her with a less-qualified white man.
Jennifer Dandridge of Waldorf managed two facilities in Waldorf for Self Storage Services Inc. with a combined 900 tenants for four years, according to her suit, filed last week in U.S. District Court in Greenbelt. She worked for the company for 16 years.
Despite never receiving unsatisfactory performance reports — she won a company award for facility of the year — Dandridge was fired on July 16, she claims.
At the time, she was the company's only black manager — all of the others had been fired and replaced with nonblacks, according to her suit.
Self Storage Service's website does not list a phone number for its corporate headquarters in Rockville. The manager of the Waldorf facilities, Ron Kitzmiller, on Tuesday declined to provide a phone number for the headquarters and said the company would have no comment on the suit.
Court documents do not list an attorney for the company.
Dandridge alleges that also was ordered to train her replacement for her job before she was fired.
Six days after she was fired, her replacement knocked on her home's door, asking for help with a workplace problem; Dandridge told him to contact the corporate office for help, the suit states.
Furthermore, she claims she was paid less than other managers who weren't black and who managed only one facility, and the company failed to pay its portion of her medical insurance premiums from February through July.
Dandridge also is seeking back pay and money to cover her legal fees. She is represented by Jimmy A. Bell of Upper Marlboro.
The company has 20 storage facilities, with eight in Maryland and others in Virginia, Washington, D.C., and Florida, according to its website.

So when I use wad manager to install a wad, if I select IOS250 to use, it freezes, or any other 2XX for that matter, and if I use IOS36 or any other one that works, I get -1053 error.... Somepart about removing the stubbed IOSs that Im missing.. Please advise? Have read through many a guide on here, and the only other option I have found is installing cboot2, and I cant get that to install as the installer crashes, and I dont know how to extract one part from the wad.out.wad... Help please!
you must wait for a fix, its not out yet
I had the latest cios (can't remember the rest) installed and the ios wad File installed before I updated. Nintendo failed.
Do you want me to try a different wad manager? I have 10 on my sd?
no, it successed in removing the hacks, so you should just wait
How have others reportedly gotten this to work then?
it is ahit or miss thing you have a miss!! sorry!
This is tough, I didn't touch wm. I cannot figure anything more out. (Probably pop in my head playing a game)
you must accept your defeat and retire for now..

Five months ago KAT (Knoxville Area Transit) announced the elimination of the Cedar Bluff route. It was reported they lost access to a park and ride lot in the area.
It was mentioned that KAT staff recommended a trip be added to the Farragut Express route as an option for displaced Cedar Bluff passengers.
The town of Farragut has decided to no longer subsidize the Farragut Express route, saving them $40,000, and forcing KAT to eliminate the route.
"The town of Farragut made the decision to cover half of the cost for this year, but wanted to see an increase of 50 percent ridership by the end of December 2012, which did not occur, before they paid the other half," KAT Director of Marketing and Development Belinda Woodiel-Brill said.
Does this mean the economy is doing better than expected?
That's a subsidy of about $6.50 a rider, which seems a little steep. And the rider they interviewed drove in from Lenoir City, making it even less of a reason for Farragut to subsidize it.
Too bad. I'm a mass transit fan, but it does tend to work best in America where you have densly populated areas. Mountain areas aren't much known for that.
The thing that troubles me
The thing that troubles me about this story is the last paragraph - which indicates that we are actually going BACKWARDS when it comes to mass transit.
When I first started at TVA in the 1980s, TVA owned vans that were used for van pools. Each rider chipped in toward the cost. They were HUGELY popular. Unfortunately, TVA got rid of them in the 90s. Cost cutting, I suppose.
Yep, backwards.
Yep, backwards.

Habitat scores big with Sloan
Hand-in-Hand Foundation to sponsor construction of New Haven home
As he finished touring one of the new Habitat for Humanity homes Saturday in New Haven subdivision, Utah Jazz head coach Jerry Sloan said, "You've done a beautiful job. Anybody would like this."
Sloan was in Evansville to announce his family foundation, the Bobbye and Jerry Sloan Hand-in-Hand Foundation, has contributed $50,000 to sponsor construction of a house in the subdivision next year.
Located off South Green River Road at Fickas Road, New Haven homes are being built for families affected by the Nov. 6, 2005, tornado that claimed 25 lives in Evansville and neighboring Warrick County.
"I'm very excited about it and hopefully we can, in the future, do more things for other people because that's what it's all about," Sloan said. "The devastation like that, you can talk about it all you want, but you have no idea unless you're the person that's involved in it. Obviously we weren't, but hopefully we can give somebody the opportunity to get a little bit more comfortable."
Sloan, a McLeansboro, Ill., native, played three seasons at the University of Evansville after transferring from the University of Illinois and was part of the school's NCAA College Division championships in 1964 and 1965.
The Hand-in-Hand Foundation was started, he said, to continue on with the charitable work of his wife, Bobbye, who died in 2004 of pancreatic cancer.
"When she passed away, it was something my kids wanted to carry on as much as they could," Sloan said.
Sally Gries, director of community relations for Habitat, said Saturday was important because it means another family will get a home.
"Hopefully, this will be the beginning of what will be multiple homes," she said.
Gries said Habitat is doing well on progress in the subdivision, including two homes that are at the end of a two-week blitz. Some 10 homes are in varying stages of completion.
Kathy Sloan Wood, Jerry Sloan's daughter, said she couldn't believe the work that was being done at the subdivision.
"You guys are just doing remarkable work, and we are just a small part of that with our foundation," said Wood, who is vice president of the Hand-in-Hand Foundation. "I've never been to a Habitat build of any kind and never seen the process and the community involvement. This is just outstanding. We're just glad to be a part of it."
Wood was hopeful others would get involved.
"Hopefully, with what our foundation is doing, other people in the community will see and other athletes will kind of get in their pockets and put it toward this process. Hopefully we'll see kind of a snowball effect."
The sponsored home will be part of Habitat's Good Sports Build initiative, which asks past and current Tri-State athletes to lend their support to Habitat. The groundbreaking for the build will be in February on the day of the annual Night of Memories, which is sponsored by the Hot Stove League.
Paul Gries, vice president of the Hot Stove League, said it will spend the next months contacting athletes, educating them about Habitat and the Good Sports Build initiative.
"It's about all these athletes being blessed with what they have and what they can give in return," Gries said.
"If it's a dollar or it's a thousand dollars, whatever they can give, it's something. We're all trying to do a small part in helping Humanity and these tornado victims."
Habitat is still in need of volunteers through the summer months at the subdivision. To volunteer at the site, contact the Habitat office at 423-5623 or visit their Web site at www.evansvillehabitat.org and click on "Volunteer Now."

Rated 5 out of 5 by G-Mac Product does everything for you Great product. weighs loads uses right amount of water then goes through the cycles all you have to do is add detergent and push start March 25, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by Demi20895 Great But..... I do love this LG washing machine. I love that it has a large capacity, is basically quiet, does the job, is easy to load. Where I think the designers failed is with the drainage pump located at the bottom of the machine. The drainage tube is too short. It does not pass beyond the door to the little compartment making it hard to empty the water into a container, and the filter was hard to remove to check it. I had to use a wrench to open it. When I put the filter back, I did not realize that I needed to make it very tight to avoid water on my floor. I hope that with their next version of this machine, LG will lengthen the drainage tube. If this is the situation with other washing machines, they should consider fixing the feature in the other models as well. March 7, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by citaber3 Love this washer! I got a super deal on my washer. It was the store floor model so I bought it at a bit of a discount. Such an improvement over my old washer, it makes my dryer seem more efficient with how well it spins the clothes. I have had it for over a month now and so far seems to be one of my best buys. February 12, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by sweetpea439 First class machine This is my 2nd LG washer...last one was just like this except this one has many new & improved features. Love the steam feature, it's MUCH quieter and faster than last model I had. Great Product!! December 27, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Leopard Team Get The Job Done Bought this in 2014 and have it for 3 months short of a year. I love the quite washing processing. My clothing is clean and fresh after each wash. I use the pods as detergent. I am very happy with my washer! GOOD VALUE for my money January 28, 2015

German Companies to Build Raw Materials Reserve, Spiegel Says
Oct. 30 (Bloomberg) -- German Chancellor Angela Merkel is helping 10 German companies build a reserve of raw materials, Der Spiegel reported, without citing anyone.
BASF SE, Daimler AG, Evonik Industries AG and ThyssenKrupp AG are part of a group of companies that support building the reserve, the magazine said. Each will contribute a six-digit euro amount.
Merkel has traveled to countries rich in raw materials, including Mongolia, Angola and Nigeria, to scout out potential sources, Der Spiegel said.

I got out of the sack Saturday morning and was on it at 7:30.
Jonas Ridge. Hey what happened to mostly sunny??
The downside of Holston Mountain on US 421.
So, it wasn't all as good as that. The Cranberry Festival was ramping up in Shady Valley. Besides legit rain, the traffic was bumper to bumper out of Mountain City. The brass was phasing tunes I couldn't place.
I got to Bristol a tad behind schedule. We were on it by 11. Warning: if you are offended by the backside of Kyle B's bike, you should hit the back button on your browser.
Like, now.
Looking west from Sunny Point, VA.
Looking south from Chestnut Ridge back at Sunny Point. That's a big hole on the far left of the photo.
Chestnut Ridge Road brings you down to the Clinch River, where you "can cross" at Burton Ford. The bad news is you have to double back. The good news is that you can make a loop out of it and ride more of VA 65.
Really, all I wanted to do was get to Coeburn.
Cela est comment nous roulons.

Posted February 08, 2012 on AP on Fox
Jordan Daniels scored a career-high 19 points, including four 3-pointers, to lead Boston College to a 64-60 victory over No. 15 Florida State on Wednesday night and snap the Atlantic Coast Conference-leading Seminoles' win streak at seven games. BC (8-16, 3-7 ACC) had lost six in a row and nine of its previous 11. It had not beaten a ranked team in three years. But the Eagles took the lead midway through the first half and fell behind only briefly in the second, running their lead to eight points and holding on. Michael Snaer scored 16 for Florida State (16-7, 7-2). But he shot 6-for-18 from the floor and made one of seven 3-point attempts. Matt Humphrey scored 15 points and Ryan Anderson had 14 points and six rebounds for the Eagles. The Eagles led by eight points, 55-47, midway through the second half before Florida State began sending them to the foul line. The Seminoles cut the deficit to three points, 60-57, after BC's Matt Humphrey missed the front end of a one-and-one wi...

Pittsburgh Penguins defenseman Kris Letang will sit out Saturday's game at Colorado due to concussion-like symptoms. Letang was hurt in Wednesday's game against the Dallas Stars when he took a shot to the head from Dallas forward Eric Nystrom, who received a two-minute roughing penalty. The All-Star defenseman suffered a concussion in late November that sidelined him for nearly two months. Penguins coach Dan Bylsma said Letang will be further evaluated when the team returns to Pittsburgh. Despite missing 23 games, Letang had nine goals and 22 assists this season.

PRLog - Jan. 6, 2011 - BEL AIR, Md. -- Many of the soldiers serving overseas this holiday will be saying thank you to the employees of the Center of Domestic Preparedness (CDP). Inspired by a local news broadcast that reported a shortage of personal items for troops overseas, a small team of employees of Beacon Associates, a contractor at CDP, started a collection of items to donate. The drive started back in August, and by October, the team had gathered more than 3,000 items, donated by both CDP employees and outside volunteers. This is just one of the many charitable acts that Beacon's employees have supported throughout the year and demonstrates the true generosity and concern for others that exists within the CDP team in Anniston, AL.
CDP Troop Care Package
"We truly have an amazing group of people working down in Anniston. We [Beacon] are just happy to be able to support a cause that our employees, and Beacon as a company, care so strongly about," says Ann Marie Bryant, Chief Operating Officer at Beacon.
"There were many (after) hours of shopping, sorting, counting, packing, and re-packing involved in this project, but it was worth every minute of our time" explains Jessica Joiner, one of the employees who supported this drive. "It was the least we could do for our troops, especially considering everything they do for us daily." CDP employees contacted local organizations for donations, researched shipping costs, assembled and sorted goods, purchased items with donated money and identified which units stationed in Afghanistan needed assistance most. A total of 33 boxes weighing approximately 400 pounds were sent overseas by mid-November to ensure they would arrive to troops in time for the holidays. Items collected consisted of snacks, comfort items, and toiletries, including 1,000 tubes of toothpaste, 300 toothbrushes, and mouthwash provided by a local dentist.
Beacon's CDP Project Manager, Ken Saunders, comments "I have worked at the CDP since it opened its doors in 1998, worked for four different contractors, and have never seen the camaraderie and desire to help others the way this team does." Since December 2009, Beacon′s CDP employees have provided a "Christmas" for three families; raised money for breast cancer awareness; and collected supplies for soldiers serving in the Middle East.
"It was the least we could do considering all our troops have done and will continue to do for us," said April Martin, a Beacon Team member who played a large part in this effort.
Melissa Remington, a Beacon Team employee, stated "I just want our soldiers to know that they do have someone that doesn't even know them who appreciates and supports them. I'm lucky enough to work with an amazing team like the Beacon Team and to have coworkers to care about these things as much as I do."
Center for Domestic Preparedness (CDP), a sub-agency under the Department of Homeland Security, Federal Emergency Management Agency, is a national training facility dedicated to preparing state and local emergency response personnel to respond to all hazards. Beacon has over 40 personnel providing training support services for McClellan's Center for Domestic Preparedness (CDP) in Anniston, Alabama. Training support includes course scheduling, admissions recruitment and registration, travel logistics, historical documentation and more.
Beacon is a woman-owned, small business and consulting firm that offers organizational effectiveness and operational solutions to the federal government. They are a certified 8(a) company, and some of their major customers include federal agencies, such as the Department of Health and Human Services and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. Beacon is committed to providing outstanding service, value, and integrity to all our customers. We are also dedicated to giving back to the communities in which we work by contributing to non-profits and participating in civic organizations.

- I'm wordy. Feel free to skip to the bold part, below. -
Our family has strange circumstances, admittedly. DH and I have a young son together, but we both have kids from before (17-y-o twins, for me; a 13-y-o singleton, for him), who all live with us.
The twins' dad & step-mom live nearby, are very involved, and extremely wealthy. They'll buy the twins pretty much anything they want. However, if I anticipate things and ask them to hold off for birthdays or Christmas, or not overshadow something I gave the twins, they will. They're not intentionally out to "spoil" the kids, but buying whatever crosses their minds - at the moment it does - feels normal, for them.
The twins are somewhat Autistic, have learning disabilities, and unrealistically assume that, as adults, they'll live in mansions, drive Cadillac SUVs and own every electronic device the day it comes out, just because. Many teens fantasize about such lives, but most understand there's some connection between wealth and a good education, hard work, and some amount of good luck. My kids really don't understand that, and I feel like it would be good for them, if they did.
Our 13-y-o has a non-custodial mother who lives far away and is trying to regain custody (which she lost when he was only 8). She hopes that when he reaches the magic age of 14, he'll help her by testifying that he wants to live with her, instead of us. She promotes this, in part, by giving him crazy amounts of spending money. And she does this in a sneaky way, which encourages him to be sneaky. She lied about his age, to help him get a checking account with a credit-backed debit card. He buys things online and either has them shipped to friends' houses, or to her, then she mails them to him under the guise that they're gifts from her, so DH and I aren't allowed to have opinions about the goods.
In many cases, what DSS buys himself is nothing we would complain about, anyway. So the pervasive attitude that he needs to keep his purchases a secret from us is really offensive and creates the impression there's something wrong with what he's doing, when there isn't.
Other times, he's just inconsiderate. For example, he asked DH and me to buy him a new iPod for his birthday (and had every reason in the world to assume we would), then he couldn't wait and bought one for himself, two weeks beforehand. As parents, we feel we should be able to discuss with him the rudeness of that, and the value of delayed gratification. The financial dynamic with Mom makes that difficult or impossible.
With ALL THREE kids, we struggle between "Should we let them buy whatever they can afford, with 'their own' money?" and "If the money they're given vastly exceeds a reasonable allowance for their ages, or what they'd be capable of earning, if they were paid what their labor's actually worth; then it feels irresponsible to let them spend their teens being accustomed to buying themselves $150 tennis shoes and iPhones...things many hard-working adults - including DH and I - can't afford? Aren't we setting them up for major disillusionment and dissatisfaction, when they actually start supporting themselves, as young adults?"
One woman in a house full of men: my soul mate: or... twin sons:(HS seniors) ... step-son: (a sophomore) ... our little man: (a first grader) ... and there is another female in the house, after all: our.
For the other child I would wait things out. The purchases will become to costly eventually and the magic age is a myth in many states. Even if kids get some input or are allowed to voice a preference the court still looks at what is in a child's best interest and that is not being moved away from family and friends because you have been bought off. My ex does things to be the best parent too and I have helped my dd move away from secrecy by letting her believe I am truly happy about all the things her dad lets her do, have, and see that I don't. As angry or horrified as I sometimes am about his lack of judgment I express only joy about it to dd. This has resulted in me hearing more but that is a good thing.
With your dss being older maybe just telling him that you are sad he is being secretive about buying items you guys have no problem with and that you know he is having stuff sent to his moms house when he thinks you won't let him have it and that it will be faster to have it sent to yours. Maybe say it's fine if he likes having secrets but you aren't upset that she saves you guys so much money and brings him joy so you don't want dishonesty to come between you all as a family.
At this age, it's a little tricky. We've been very minimalist when it comes to gadgets, tech and general "stuff" for out kids but then, we don't really have outside sources undermining us on it. Lots of family but for the most part, they give very reasonable gifts... mostly books and clothing. My kids both have a stock of money because they did a lot of professional theatre acting when they were younger. My DD 15 also has a part-time job (minimum wage.) Both are very reluctant about spending their money largely because they worked pretty hard for it. DD bought herself a laptop and 13 and then recently bought herself an iphone 4 (and she pays for her own monthly data package.) DS 12 bought himself an ipod a year ago. It was easy for us to allow them to make these purchases because they fretted over the decision greatly and are very protective of their funds in general. They also tend to use items until they are worn-out as opposed to blowing their money to keep up with all the latest and greatest.
If I were you, my instinct would be to pull them back from these frequent and large scale acquisitions but that's also just my nature. At 17, it's a hard thing to do. Certainly easier at 13 but not necessarily easier in your situation. I guess at this point, I'd be focusing less on trying to control the purchases and make sure they are getting some real work/world experience along with some community service.
Married mom of two, DD 17 and DS 14.
To be completely honest I think sounds like more of an issue with their parents outside the household than the kids themselves. It sounds like the twins father might be open to talking about some healthy limits but the 13yos mother may not be.
You also asked about limiting what they can buy with their own money but the situation you described is not their own money. Are they even doing chores for it?
I want to go on but I think I'd be bringing in too many personal issues from growing up that may not apply to this situation. Basically, I think most of us have to learn how to deal with money in the real world when we grow up and move out anyhow. If it's not their money then yes, I think you should get a say in it. If they are working to earn it and they are not buying things that are dangerous or inappropriate I wouldn't worry about it too much.
Becky- Wife to DH, Mama to "Nani" (July '08) "Coco" (July '10) and Decker the Wrecker (May'13)
According to your own post, this isn't something that you have any control over with the younger child, so it really isn't a question of whether or not to 'allow' it. As it is, he is lying and sneaking around, so adding more rules and forbidding certain items would seem to me to make the problem worse, not better.
You asked how other families deal with this, and it's a really different issue at our house because DH and I are mostly on the same page. We have some minor differences, but nothing huge. Our kids have smaller amounts of money, and sometimes spend it in ways we find foolish, but they really can't do anything too over the top with it because they just don't have the resources for that. We very seldom limit what they can spend on anything -- and we we do, it is usually because of another value (no more permanent hair dye -- we've BTDT, and now only temporary dye is allowed)
but everything has pros and cons
Like Linda, very different situation to what you describe.
We limit in some ways by their spending money. They have a certain amount of pocket money per week, some of which MUST be spent on things like transportation to and from school. What they do w/ money left-over is mostly up to them. For example, my son buys potato chips after school sometimes (he's 14). If we notice potato chip bags in the rubbish more than once or twice a week, we DO comment on it a bit (empty calories, too much salt, "yeet hay", pimples... ). DD used to sometimes like to buy magazines and CDs. Now they mostly save it for stuff they want (like DVDs or an especially desired item of clothing).
They get larger sums at Chinese New Year from relatives and those get put in the bank. When they want to spend on something expensive, then we discuss & have power of veto.
It sounds to me like you should discuss your concerns w/ both the non-custodial parents and the kids & may have more luck w/ the twin's dad.
re: anecdote of 13 DSS buying his own I-pod, you wrote:"As parents, we feel we should be able to discuss with him the rudeness of that, and the value of delayed gratification."
Yes, of course you can. Have you done so? If my kids are rude or hurt my feelings, I talk to them about it; the same way they can raise things to me if they think I was rude or hurt their feelings.
re: anecdote of 13 DSS buying his own I-pod, you wrote:"As parents, we feel we should be able to discuss with him the rudeness of that, and the value of delayed gratification."

Yes. The message just seemed lost in the lying. A friend and a brother mentioned to DH and me that DSS had been bragging about ordering it for himself. We asked him about it and he completely denied it. The other kids were conspiring to make up stories about him. (Yeah, sure.) Then a small box arrived for him in the mail, from Apple, a few days later. He said, "How could I know Mom would send me an iPod, for my birthday?"
So, we did talk about etiquette, consideration and delayed gratification. We even discussed that, if his mom actually happened to order it (at the exact same time he bragged to his friends that HE did, and even though she was expecting to SEE him, on his birthday), he's old enough to have noticed that both parents always get him the major thing he asks them for (within reason), each birthday/Christmas. He knows they don't/can't communicate with each other. So, what did DSS expect to happen, when he asked both parents for the same thing?
Maybe the overall message sunk in and he's just too stubborn to let us see that. But it seemed completely trampled by, "But, I didn't order it. But I didn't tell Mom to buy it..." and sullen glaring as though this was all so unfair to him.
Rather than push and push to get at the truth, DH just said, "Well, however you slice it, this was meant to be a birthday present. So you can wait 'til your birthday, to open it."
Naturally, Mom couldn't possibly support that (IMO perfectly reasonable) lesson. True to her self-proclaimed role as DSS's "BFF", she emailed DH that she did order the iPod (which she would say, whether she had or not) and angrily demanded that he not confiscate her gift for her child. DH still made DSS wait until his birthday, to open it. DSS had a fairly decent attitude, on his birthday, but there was still this underlying "You have no right to tell me what to do about things that are between me and my Mom" thing. (Just like he and his mom decided if she switched him to her phone plane, DH wouldn't be entitled to tell them they can't be on the phone at 11pm on school nights...)
You're right - it's a lot easier, communicating with my ex. I just have to be on my toes and anticipate things. If I ask him not to buy a specific thing for the kids - or not to let them buy it for themselves before at least one of us discusses it with them, he will.

Wesley Sneijder joins Galatasaray to end transfer saga - originally posted on Soccerlens.comDutch midfield maestro Wesley Sneijder joins Galatasaray after finally agreeing personal terms with the Turkish side. The most dramatic transfer saga of this season is finally over; or so it seems. Inter Milan midfielder Wesley Sneijder has agreed to join Galatasaray, almost two weeks after Turkish side's £8.3 million bid for the Dutchman was accepted by Inter. An official statement published on Galatasaray's official website read: "The transfer of Wesley Sneijder from Inter Milan has been agreed. "The conditions of the deal will be made public and the player will sign the contract after health checks." Wesley Sneijder's last appearance for Inter came in the 2-0 victory over Chievo almost two months ago. Although Inter manager, Andrea Stramaccioni, has explained his exclusion as a footballing decision, the stand-off between the player and the club over his wages was publicly revealed. Sneijd...

It's all in Plato, bless me, all in Plato
Me: "And there was a man called Plato who told a story about a cave. You could sit in the cave and watch what the people next door were doing, but all you could ever see was shadows of them. And you had to guess what they were doing. Were they dancing, or eating, or sleeping, or jumping up and down? You had to tell from their shadows."
Niece: "Yes. Well. *I'm* going on holiday to that cave soon."
Me: "You're going on holiday to Plato's cave? COOL!"

"Try to imagine the whole universe beginning to ring and resound. There are no more human voices, only planets and suns revolving in their orbits," wrote Gustav Mahler to his friend Willem Mengelberg, after completing the sketches for his Symphony No.8. The legendary relationship between Mahler, the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra and Mengelberg has established a firm tradition of playing Mahler in Amsterdam. Mariss Jansons' brilliant interpretation of the Symphony of a Thousand is yet another jewel in the crown of the Concertgebouw's acclaimed Mahler cycle. Featuring a starstudded cast and excellent choral forces, this superb surround-sound recording is offered two ways - accompanied by a bonus video of the performance in either DVD or a Blu-ray format.Notes & Reviews:

Archive for 'catholic beliefs'
What is the Catholic Worker Movement?
Catholicism can be lived out in many ways. Members of the Catholic Worker Movement, founded by Dorothy Day ini 1933, commit themselves to voluntary poverty, prayer and non-violence. Their houses of hospitality provide food and shelter to thousands of people each year.
What Do We Know About Angels?
Angels seem to be everywhere in our culture–from popular books to greeting cards to movies. But what do we really know about these mysterious beings?
Why Does a Catholic Wedding Have to Take Place in a Church?
Website visitors sometimes ask how they can find a Catholic priest or deacon to officiate at their wedding that will not be held in a Catholic church. Have you wondered why Catholics are normally expected to marry in a Catholic church? Here's the explanation.
What Rights Do Catholics Have in the Church?
Many Catholic laypersons don't realize that they have certain rights in the Church, and those rights are protected by church law. Fr. Larry Rice identifies the major rights of the Catholic faithful.
What is the Kingdom of God?
Every time we recite the Our Father we pray "Thy Kingdom come." The coming of God's Kingdom was the central message in Jesus' preaching, but it's a complex idea. Fr. Rice sheds some light on the term.
Precepts of the Church
We've all heard of the Ten Commandments, but do you know the Five Precepts of the Catholic Church? These "positive laws" set forth five obligations for Catholics. See what they are.
Why Do Catholics Make The Sign of the Cross?
A distinguishing mark of Catholics is their use of The Sign of the Cross. This ancient gestural prayer is used to begin and end prayers, and at other times as well.
What is World Youth Day?
This week thousands of Catholic teens and young adults will gather in Madrid to celebrate World Youth Day. What is this life-changing event and how can you participate from your own home?
What Are Holy Days of Obligation?
On Monday, August 15, Catholics celebrate the Assumption of Mary into heaven. It's one of six Holy Days of Obligation in the Catholic Church. Do you know the others?
Why Get Married in a Church?
Why does the Catholic Church normally expect couples to get married in church? Fr. Rice explains that while the park or the country club may be beautiful, a Catholic wedding requires sacred space.
The Unity Candle
The "Unity Candle" has become part of many wedding ceremonies. Does it have a place in a Catholic wedding?
Who Was Mary Magdalene?
Will the real Mary Magdalene please stand up? We don't know much about this saint, whose feast we celebrate on July 22. She probably wasn't as portrayed in "The Da Vinci Code," "Jesus Christ Superstar" or "The Passion of the Christ." What we do know is that she was a woman of faith who stood by Jesus to the end.
What Do Catholics Read?
It's summer, and perhaps you have time for a little extra reading–maybe even some spiritual reading. But where to start? Here are a few suggestions.
Ordinary Time?
On July 3, the celebrant at Sunday Mass will wear green vestments for the first time in four months. The change of color reflects the return to "Ordinary Time." It's the longest of the Church's liturgical seasons and, says Fr. Larry Rice, the most challenging.
What Do Catholics Believe About the End Times?
Is the end of the world near? How can we know? Catholics believe that we are already living in the End Times. Father Larry Rice explains why.
Heaven: Is That All There Is?
All Christians hope to get to heaven. But our traditional images of heaven–clouds, harps and white-robed angels–can make it seem somewhat boring. What's the problem with our language about heaven?
What is the Ascension?
On Sunday, June 5, most dioceses will celebrate the feast of the Ascension, when Jesus returned to the Father. Why couldn't the risen Christ simply have stayed on earth, guiding the Church for all time?
What is a Patron Saint?
The Catholic Church loves saints–so much, in fact, that it has designated particular saints as special advocates for individuals, countries and occupations. There is even a patron saint of the Internet: St. Isidore of Seville. How can patron saints help us?
What Does the Church Believe About Mary?
Do Catholics "worship" Mary? What are some of the Church's key beliefs about Mary? Read more about the first and greatest disciple of Jesus.
What is the Acts of the Apostles?
If you attend a Catholic Mass during the Easter season, you'll hear a reading from the Acts of the Apostles. Why is this New Testament book unique and how does it speak to Christians today?
Apostles and Disciples
During the Easter Season, many liturgical readings focus on the activities of the Apostles and Disciples. Who are they and is there a difference?
What is Sacred Chrism?
During Lent, especially during Holy Week, priests in each diocese come together to celebrate the annual Chrism Mass. What is chrism and how is it used?
What Is the RCIA?
How does an adult convert enter the Catholic Church? Most go through a process called the Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA). Read what this involves.
Why Do Catholics Go To Confession?
Easter's just around the corner–a good time to think about going to confession. Haven't been for a while? Don't worry! Here are some resources that can help.
Finding Meaning in Suffering
Perhaps you've heard it before when you faced suffering in your life: "Offer it up." It's a hard saying, but what does it mean? How can "offering it up" help us to find meaning–and even joy–in our suffering?

At 26-20, the Cincinnati Reds are at a defining moment in their season. Coming off a 2-1 loss to Pittsburgh tonight, and losses in four of their last seven games, the club can go one of two ways.
Year after year, the Reds get off to a strong start only to fade away once spring turns into summer.
This year, the team is off to their best start in years, but is only a few losses-in-a-row away from letting the season slip away.
Still jockeying for position with the St. Louis Cardinals in the NL Central, these next few games will be crucial for the Reds in order to maintain their standing among the top of the division.
In their next eight games, Cincinnati will finish out the homestand against Pittsburgh and Houston before hitting the road for a showdown with the Cardinals.
The games against Pittsburgh and Houston are crucial because the Pirates and Astros are two of the worst teams in the National League, record wise. It is important to take advantage of easier points against the bottom-feeders.
The series against St. Louis is important for the obvious reason that it could be a battle for first place in the Central Division.
These next eight games could go a long way in determining where the Reds will be at the end of the season and though it is early, could begin the process of separating the contenders from the pretenders.
Hold on to your hats.

What You Can Expect
Departing from San Juan, you can combine a visit to the rainforest with an afternoon at one of the world's most beautiful beaches. On the Northeast coast of Puerto Rico, Luquillo Beach is the island's best and most popular public stretch of tranquil waters and golden sand. Offshore are coral formations and spectacular sea life and tropical fish. The water is calm and comfortable - the perfect place for families!
From here, you'll explore the cool, mountainous and semi tropical El Yunque rainforest. The abundant rainfall is shed through rocky rivers, creating many cascades of waterfalls and pools. El Yunque hosts a number of unique plant and animal species such as the endangered Puerto Rican parrot and the tiny coquis, an indigenous tree frog.
According to ancient Indian legend, the good spirit 'Yuquiyu' reigned on his mighty mountain-top throne, protecting Puerto Rico and its people. The name Luquillo is derived from this god's spirit's Indian name.

Colabello drew a one-out walk and Bernier came into the game to pinch run for him when he advanced to second on a bunt by Clete Thomas. With one out and runners on first and second, Herrmann delivered the winning hit when his single to right field off reliever Ramon Troncoso scored Bernier from second. Just how the Twins drew things up at the beginning of the year. "You've got to be ready off the bench," Twins manager Ron Gardenhire said. "Just because you're not starting a game, there's a possibility of being used. We have to pick and choose. We only have three guys (on the bench) and one of them's our backup catcher right now. But they kind of have to watch the game and pay attention...
