Just need someone to talk to
I haven't posted on here before. Still kind of new. I have alot on my mind and am confused and hurt and I guess I just need someone to listen and maybe give some advice.
I've been living with my boyfriend for about 3 1/2 years now with my daughter in his house. He had asked me to move in. He does well for himself and is much more financially secure than I am. I have been a single mom for about 10 years with no help from her father. That's a whole other story. Long story short, it hasn't been an easy road for me. I've been thru alot of struggles and hard times and life just seemed to continue to kick me when I was down. I met my current b/f and it seemed like for once, I found someone that really loved me. He used to talk about marriage, kids, etc in the beginning and then it stopped. He has a 16 yr old son from hell. He has been in constant rouble pretty much since about 6 months into our relationship. His "mother" is useless - doesn't care about her kids and uses them for a child support check to spend on herself, etc. Needless to say it has been chaotic at times to say the least. I have found that at times, it seems as though he comes down on my daughter a little harder and more frequently about things than he does his own son. It has been a point of contention in the past but it really came to a head this weekend.
It was something very simple, but it bothered me that he has said something to my daughter in the past about it and when I said something to him - not even his son - about it, he flipped. I pointed out, calmly, that i didn't agree with the double standard I feel there is and how he is quick to point out things with my kid, but not his own. This turned into an all out war. He started to yell and then took it to a personal level. In a nutshell, it was made very clear how it was "his" house, etc. There was much more that all centered around that, but you get the jist of it.
I feel like i've been kicked in the gut and am a mess of emotions right now that I can't figure out. I feel belittled, sad, hurt, numb. He tried to deminish what I contribute to the household. Mind you, I pay the cable/internet in full, split all of the utilities in half and buy all of the food. I also split the cost of things for in the house and cover all of the misicillanous needs. I clean the house, do the laundry and help out wheever I can. I make significantly less than him and wasn't the one that bought this house - he bought it with his ex-wife. I was not the one that asked to move in - he was the one that asked me to move in with him. I told him I never would have bought that house because I knew I could not afford it and he can't throw it in my face. He went on to say how he paid for the kitchen remoddel and the new siding/deck he is getting, etc and didnt ask me for money because he knew I didn;t have it at the time. To be honest, my thought is, you can't even make a fucking commitment to me after 3 1/2 years, you make me feel unwelcomed in what I hoped was our home, and then you would honestly think if I did have the money that I would invest it in what is clearly his house?
I don't know what to do. I've felt like a mess of emotions since then and don't know how to process them or feel. I feel uncomfortable and as if I do not belong there and have to walk around on eggshells to follow his rules or something. There is probably so much more to add to this, but I feel like I am all over the place. I just need someone to talk to and feel really alone right now.
It's time to leave before there is so much damage that you two never talk again. He may need time with his son give it him.
Your daughter should pay the price of his anger,She must come first.
Also don't stay with a man who wants you to pay for things in HIS home, he is not a man in my eye's.
"If it's meant to be it will be"

The New Year is a chance to make a fresh start, and Better Business Bureau (BBB) has a smart alternative to diets or other popular resolutions. Why not resolve to be a smarter consumer? It isn't hard to do, and it could help you avoid some common scams.
Here are our 10 resolutions to be a savvy consumer in the coming year:
- Be skeptical of "job offers" that promise easy money. Unemployment in the nation is high, and scammers are targeting the large pool of job hunters. Beware of any job offer, work-at-home scheme or business opportunity that promises big money for little work and no experience.
- Always check a business out with BBB before you buy. Nearly 400,000 businesses meet BBB standards and are qualified to use an Accredited Business seal on their websites and at business locations. Visit www.bbb.org to find BBB Business Reviews for nearly 4 million businesses across North America.
- Always read the fine print—especially with "free" trial offers. Thousands of consumers complained to BBB after signing up for a "free" trial offer online that resulted in repeated charges to their credit or debit cards, sometimes amounting to hundreds of dollars every month. Read the terms and conditions of any "free" offer before handing over credit or debit card numbers.
- Keep your computer safe. If you haven't already done so, install anti-virus software on your computer and check regularly for software and operating system updates and patches. Don't open attachments or click on links in e-mails unless you can confirm the email came from someone you trust.
- Never wire money to someone you don't know. Scammers often send fake checks to victims, then require that the victim wire money back to the scammers. Scammers know that it's extremely difficult to track money sent via MoneyGram, Western Union or Green Dot MoneyPak. Once you've wired the money, it's nearly impossible to get it back.
- Fight identity theft. Shred paper documents that include sensitive financial data and dispose of computers, cell phones and digital data safely. BBB offers tips and checklists on what to shred and hosts annual Secure Your ID events nationwide to help you stay safe.
- Ask the BBB for help. File a complaint with your BBB if you have a disagreement with a business or have been ripped off by a scammer.
- Create a budget and stick to it. Setting a budget can help you stay afloat in 2012. The BBB has advice on how to create a budget to help you get out of debt and stay out of debt at www.bbb.org.
- Fight fake check fraud. Thanks to advances in printing technology, scammers have the ability to create professional-looking phony checks. Educate yourself on the common types of check fraud and be extremely wary of checks that come with claims that you've won the lottery, are eligible for a government grant or have landed a job as a secret shopper.
- Get everything in writing. Don't just take a company's word for it. By getting any verbal agreement in writing, you can limit miscommunication and misunderstandings between what you expect from a business and what the business delivers.

Suicide Risk For Seniors Moving Into Residential Homes
"While a move can represent a positive change, all moves involve some degree of loss," say Carol Podgorski from the University of Rochester in New York and colleagues in an article published this week in PLoS Medicine, and this can lead to heightened risk for suicidal behavior.
Whether by choice or necessity, more older adults are now living in residential homes. And while the residences themselves are designed to be appealing, the underlying reasons that precipitate moving into a residential home, as well as the ensuing adjustment process, often result in stress that can sometimes lead to suicidal behavior. Dr. Podgorski and colleagues lay out risk factors for suicidal behavior in older adults living in residential communities including social factors (widowing, divorce, substance abuse, loss, and family discord) and medical factors such as increased physical and psychotic illnesses.The authors suggest ways that public health systems and residential communities can counter suicidal behavior in older adults living within communal accommodation: "The public health approach to suicide is consistent with theories of aging in that it calls for actions that aim to mitigate the multiple, cumulative losses for which older adults are at increased risk." The authors conclude that "there is no single blueprint for a suicide prevention plan. It is incumbent upon each facility to assess its own characteristics and resident populations and to use that information to set priorities and establish relevant goals."
Funding: CAP, LL, and JLP all participated in a summit on suicide prevention in senior living communities that was held in Gaithersburg, MD in October of 2008. The summit was sponsored by SAMHSA, NIMH, SPAN USA, and Asbury Methodist Village. LL works for a Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA)-funded technical assistance center and JLP is employed by the National Institute of Mental Health. CAP received an honorarium from NIMH for preparing and delivering a keynote address at the Summit, the content of which was not influenced by the funder. The authors received no specific funding to write this paper. The opinions and assertions contained in this article are the private views of the authors and are not to be construed as official or as reflecting the views of the Department of Health and Human Services, the National Institutes of Health, or the National Institute of Mental Health.
Competing Interests: LL works for a SAMHSA-funded national technical assistance center, including co-managing the Best Practices Registry for Suicide Prevention. SAMHSA did not review or influence this work.

Halloween is one of the most dangerous and stressful times of the year for furry family members. While including Fido and Fluffy in the festivities can be fun, keep their best interest in mind with these tips.
When witches come calling: If you're expecting lots of ghosts and goblins to ring your doorbell, make sure your pet isn't tempted to go trick-or-treating with them. Set up a room with water, food, toys and a comfy bed where your dog or cat can stay safe and sound.
Also, make sure your pet has a registered microchip. The tiny chip, implanted easily between your pet's shoulder blades, will make a reunion much easier if he or she darts out of the house.
Ghastly getups: According to the National Retail Federation, 13.8 percent of pet parents will dress up their pets for Halloween. If your furry friend will be going incognito, be sure he or she can see and move around easily, and that the costume is free of frills that could easily be chewed off and/or swallowed. Remember, too, that pets can become overheated and dehydrated in their disguises.
Frightful candy: According to Petplan pet insurance's claims data from 2010-2012, pets are 25 percent more likely to get sick due to eating chocolate during Halloween week than other weeks of the year. Average veterinary cost for treating chocolate ingestion is $377. One family faced a veterinary bill of over $3,000.
Some families prefer to hand out raisins to trick-or-treaters instead of sugary sweets. While they may be healthier for children, raisins are toxic to pets — especially dogs. Even in small doses, raisins can cause kidney failure, so keep them well away from pets.
Even if you're diligent about keeping candy out of the reach of pets' prying paws, beware of their wrappers, which can also be hazardous. They can become lodged in your pet's intestines, causing an obstruction that could require surgery. So be sure trash is tossed in a lidded bin.

Suffolk County Council has been given close to £3million to fix thousands of potholes across the county.
The coalition Government announced last week that it was releasing £168million in funding in order to fix more than 3million pot holes.
Suffolk's share works out at £2.9 million, which comes after a similar figure was given to the county to repair damage caused to roads during the winter.
Bosses at Suffolk County Council, however, have their own plans for the money.
"While the Government has suggested that this funding could fix as many as 55,000 potholes, in reality, there are nowhere near that many in Suffolk," said councillor Graham Newman, cabinet member for roads, transport and planning.
"This is just a figure to show the scale of what can be achieved with this funding.
"We intend to use this to target roads with lots of defects, which have either had temporary repairs or will soon need work done.
"Using the funding in this way, we will be able to do good-quality, long-lasting repairs rather than just small short-term repairs.
"We recognise that improving the state of the county's roads is a top issue for residents and businesses."

PAYe Network announced the launch of its USA network at the ATMIA Conference 2014: Reinventing the ATM. PAYe Network is the world's first universal ATM 'Pay-In-Pay-Out' global cardless network with over 1 million cash-access-points with built-in interoperability to existing financial networks and full regulatory compliance.
PAYe transactions can be initiated with or without a card by utilizing state-of-the-art virtual tokenization technology and patent pending systems and methods.
PAYe identified a problem in the current payments system and has developed a unique solution. The problem is that ATM networks only allow for bank issued debit and credit card transactions. The PAYe solution is an ATM network that provides access to third party financial services via an open-loop financial network infrastructure without requiring cards that are linked to depository financial institution checking accounts.
The PAYeCASH Pay-In-Pay-Out Solution is the most significant ATM integrated payments innovation in the history of the ATM, by enabling individuals and businesses to send and receive cash through an open-loop financial network. Our revolutionary technology and the unique network architecture can connect any customer facing electronic device (ATM, POS, Kiosk and Mobile Phone) to perform a real-time money transfer in a safe, secure and convenient ATM environment with a complete regulatory compliance program.
The PAYe Network can provide financial institutions and independent ATM deployers with a whole new revenue steam that is not dependent on low branded card network interchange rates. PAYe Network can connect ATMs to a value chain of service providers that are currently locked out of the
ATM networks, because they are not depository institutions. Simply select the PAYeCASH function button on the ATM welcome screen, enter your mobile number and the personal identification number (PIN) that is sent in a secure SMS text message, select the amount, and receive your cash payment. It's that easy.

As winners of last year's Best Jazz Act at the MOBO Awards, Sons of Kemet took the music scene by storm in 2013 with the release of their critically-acclaimed debut album Burn.
Led by clarinetist, saxophonist and composer Shabaka Hutchings, they play the Komedia in Brighton on April 30.
In addition to Shabaka, the band features Oren Marshall on tuba and both Tom Skinner and Seb Rochford on drums – a combination of musicians who already knew each other, explains Shabaka.
"I wanted to get together with the musicians that I felt comfortable with. They are people that just have so many influences, people that listen to tons of music, people that understand a lot of different ways of making music."
Although born in London, Shabaka spent most of his childhood in Barbados. When he returned to the UK in 1999 he was heralded as a new talent on the British jazz scene. However, he felt the music he was playing lacked the Caribbean slant of his background, and so Sons of Kemet were born.
Kemet is one of the first recognised names for ancient Egypt, and its last Nubian king was called Shabaka.
"I did my high school years in Barbados, and then I came back to England to continue my education.
"But I often think that the music that people grow up with is integral to what they listen to for the rest of their lives. I think that it influences their aesthetic choices. The music of Barbados or the Barbados approach to music has influenced me.
"I think that Barbados approach is that people there make music for the sake of people, not just for the sake of art."
Shabaka had played with calypso bands in Barbados, but his training in the UK was classical.
"I did a degree at the Guildhall in classical clarinet, but at the same time I was still doing jam sessions."
Since the band's debut album, it has all been a bit of a rollercoaster, Shabaka says: "We recorded the album about a year before it came out. When it finally came out, there was an amazing response to it. The band really took off from the stage the album was released.
"Before that, we were known around London, but after that, a lot more people started to hear about it.
"I am writing material for another album now, but I think I would like to get the music into our bones before we record it. We need to play it live, and then we will know when we are ready to record it. We hoping that get a new album out at the end of the year or the beginning of next year, but when the music is ready, we will know."

dear friends and fans of MECCG,
It has been quite some time since the last Council of Elrond elections, 4 years in fact.
Some would say the Council has fallen dormant, others might say the Council operates best in the background, Barliman Butterbur would say: "no news is good news."
But what would YOU say?
We will organize new elections this year, so there is a chance for new players to join, and for fresh ideas, energy, and input to flow through the community.
Leading up to the elections, you might want to start or join discussions, on the future of meccg, changes to be made (if any), and on the tasks and organization of the Council of Elrond. Thus I have started a new section, which you'll find
I propose that we gather some ideas, get the word out, and then host the elections in November.

Marek Hamsik has dismissed the speculation linking him with Milan by insisting he is happy at Napoli.
Reports in Italy on Tuesday have again linked the player with the Rossoneri, with stories continuing to suggest that he is at the top of boss Massimiliano Allegri's wish-list.
"The Milan rumours are all just talk," the attacking midfielder stated while on international duty with Slovakia.
"At the moment all that I am thinking about is my national side and then my deserved holidays," he continued.
"I am a Napoli player and I'm happy that I signed a new five-year contract with the club last September."
Napoli have enjoyed a wonderful campaign after challenging for the Scudetto and eventually finishing third in Serie A.
The Azzurri have thus qualified for the Champions League and boss Walter Mazzarri has been confirmed in his role after coming close to an exit.
"I'm very happy that Mazzarri has remained," Hamsik added.
Napoli chief Aurelio De Laurentiis has underlined in recent weeks that he has never received an offer from Milan for Hamsik.
The Rossoneri too have denied an interest in the former Brescia youngster.

Scrum penalties 'predetermined' - Craig Dowd
Craig Dowd
March 25, 2014
Craig Dowd believes that scrum penalties now are awarded as a "predetermined action" © Getty Images
Something has got to be done about scrums in rugby. They have become a complete lottery.
When you get experienced international-quality props staring at the referee and thinking, quite clearly from their facial expressions, "you have got to be kidding", there has to be an issue underlying their discontent. Just going to the formation of a scrum these days, no-one knows what is going to happen because the referee is looking for a penalty.
The biggest issue I have now is that when you commit a penalty, it is usually a predetermined action by the referee. Take that to a court of law, it is like murder in the first degree, which is predetermined, versus manslaughter, which is not.
You don't go into a scrum trying to have a predetermined outcome to either collapse it, or stand it up, or blatantly break the laws. There's no benefit; it is just a scrum, it is not going to go anywhere.
For referees to be looking for a penalty, it is just ruining the game. Look at how there was all the emphasis about putting the ball in straight to scrums. They are very haphazard in how they rule that now. You wouldn't know; some referees do and some don't.
I think the International Rugby Board (IRB) needs to have some serious thought about the outcome they want out of scrums. It's a re-start, and the IRB needs to look at why a penalty from what is simply a stationary object, that is not going to move any more than a couple of metres either way, has the potential to determine the outcome of a game of rugby via penalty goals.
We are now almost at a crisis point with scrums, where fans are thinking, "What is the point?". It is ridiculous.
The problem starts at the top. And it is the same way all new laws are introduced. They are filtering down through the game, and the referees are being told what to look for.
I feel sorry for referees in some regards: if they don't look for what they are told to watch, they lose their status; but some of them do go well over the top and don't interpret properly what they have been told to seek, and they lose their future appointments.
The referees need to give some governance back to the players to scrum. Let them go out and scrum. If it collapses on one side, let the other side walk over them. If one team stands up, push them backwards. You can't push standing up.
So the players will stop doing it after a while, when they realise the implications of either collapsing or standing up the set-piece: let's go back to what it used to be, and have a real old ding-dong battle at scrimmaging; and while that is going on let's get the ball out and play.
There's too much governance, and too much regulation, around what has to happen at scrum time. As long as the safety issues are addressed - and I think that has been done with the closeness of the front rows in the set phase - then I think we are talking about big boys who are big enough and ugly enough to put a scrum down and not have a serious accident.
In fact, contrary to belief, there are not that many serious accidents at scrum time any more. The days of having a metre-and-a-half gap where you fly in and hit hard have gone. There were some broken necks that had everything to do with the engagement, but that has changed.
In relation to the calls from television match officials, I think a lot of it is due to the language they are using, which is creating confusion. I know they are aware the public are listening, but the public can see what has happened. It is as if they think they are in a courtroom and pussy-footing around making sure they use the right terms.
Just call a spade a spade. I think if the TMO said there was a double movement, or a knock-on in the lead-up, we, as viewers, would be pleased to hear that. We're not mugs, and neither are they, but they are using some special language to communicate with each other and we can see through that.
The TMO is there to call the correct shot, and that is it. They need to get on with it.

Before I start let me say this: Women, you will not find this easy to wrap your head around because like it or not men see sex a lot differently from women. While there are some women who defy this generalization, most men have absolutely no qualms with having no-strings attached sex.
What this means is that there is a difference in friend-zone for a man and a woman dealing with someone that they tried dating before. When a man fails to impress a woman enough to sleep with her and become her man, she will slap him firmly into the friend-zone where he has access to talking to her but little else. Most men absolutely hate this crap and it takes some time and observation before he realizes that he is in it.
For women however if she dates a guy that she's into and she lets him have sex with her and she loves it, he may not like her as his girlfriend so he will string her along for the sex. Like the man in the friend-zone this woman will be clueless (most times) and will only figure it out with deep thought and perhaps the realization that the guy has found a woman to call his own and that he is only calling her for periodic sex.
Consider this common occurrence:
You've dated a guy a few times and he got in your panties about the 3rd date or so. Afterwards you ask him about your status and he gives you the "I'm not ready for a relationship" spiel and it pissed you off but a few failed attempts to move on later you call him up and you guys go out and he sleeps with you again. You think that with time and the opportunity for him to see how great a gal you are, he will come around and make you his. It never happens and it probably never will.
Just like a man in the friend zone there are many tell-tale signs that you ignore because your ego will not let you come to terms that you are merely convenient for this individual.
Here are things that a man won't do for you if you're in the friend-zone:
- Listen to you on the phone go on and on about your day.
- Buy you gifts.
- Take you to special events that involve people he cares about (office party doesn't count).
- Cuddle with you on the couch without going for the royal.
Like a man who is trapped in the friend-zone, it takes a certain amount of self-respect to move on with your life and get out of this user's black book. Count your losses and move on because if a man values you, trust me, he will lock you up as quickly as possible to slow the chances of losing you to another male. This is real ladies; you have been duped into thinking that there are men out there playing the friend-zone like you do. Only a few men waste their time collecting a Rolodex of women's numbers that they aren't sleeping with.
This is how we do and if I just blew your mind let me know in the comments. Stop playing yourself and sitting in some guy's friend-zone because I can guarantee it that there is another male who wants to wife you up being ignored because you're too busy trying to make miracles happen.See some words or phrases that you don't understand?

A New Way To Get In Shape: The Busy Man's Guide To Losing Fat
SUMMARY: Even if you're the busiest of guys, you can drop fat, get healthy, and get into the best shape of your life. All that's needed is a simplified exercise plan, a progressive set of nutrition habits, and a knowledgeable coach to help guide the process.
"Man, I wish I could train like we used to."
That's what a high school buddy - a former training partner of mine - told me at a recent gathering.
"With the kids, my business growing, and all the other stuff I've got going on…I don't know...there's just no time to get in shape."
My buddy has gained about 30 pounds of weight - let's face it, fat - since high school. His cholesterol and blood pressure have sky-rocketed. And he's always feeling lethargic, sometimes even depressed.
"I really want to do something about this," he says grabbing his stomach, "and I want to feel good again. But where am I gonna find time to work out like we did back in the day?"
As I sat there, I couldn't help but feel for the guy.
He's a great person, with a fantastic wife, two young children, a growing consulting business, and two aging parents he helps care for. So it sucked to see him feeling trapped and struggling.
But here's the thing: he needn't feel that way. Busy guys everywhere are still able to manage hectic lives while also managing their health and fitness.
I know because I'm one of them.
I'm married, have two young children, manage a growing company, and have a host of other things competing for my attention on a daily basis. Yet I still manage to make health and fitness a priority.
Here's more: our team helps thousands of other busy, high-stress guys get in shape and manage their health every single day. And, if you're interested in looking and feeling good again, we can help you too.
A New Way To Get In Shape
Getting back to my buddy for a minute, here's the first piece of advice I gave him - and it's a piece of advice I give to guys everywhere:
"Get rid of the idea that what we did in high school is the best way to get in shape."
Truth be told, what we did back then was pretty stupid. Weight training for an hour or two? Every day except Sundays? What a waste of time and energy. But I guess we had plenty of time and energy to waste back then. Oh how times have changed!
Of course, if we'd have known better, or had some proper coaching, we might have gotten our acts together. But we didn't. So we spent too much time in the gym, doing the wrong stuff, in way that wasn't sustainable.
Yes, we were in shape. But we were young, had great metabolisms, and succeeded in spite of our program. Not because of it. In fact, those nagging aches and pains we complain about today - the sore knees, trick shoulders, bum elbows - are probably related to our dumb high school training.
As I told my friend:
"Here's the good news: you don't have to train like we did in high school to get back in shape. In fact, you don't even want to. I've got something else in mind that'll work way better, take far less time, and fit into your life, as it is now."
Start With Workout Minimalism
Instead of 6 weight-training workouts a week, each taken right out of the pages of Muscle and Fitness magazine, we started with a completely different approach:
Each week he did the following:
-2 x 30 minute resistance exercise sessions - mostly body weight exercises
-2 x 15 minute interval exercise sessions - on a treadmill or outside at a track
-1 x 60 minute walk - outdoors with his family
So, instead of 9 hours of exercise a week - plus travel time to and from the gym - he would be doing less than 3 hours a week. And most of it could be done right at home, if he wanted.
He also got to do it all on his own schedule, adjusting the workout days and times so that they would fit into his demanding and ever-changing planner.
Sound too good to be true? It's not. (After all, it's trusted advice that I gave to a good friend of 20+ years).
For more on how this can work, check out my "Experiments With Exercise Minimalism" article here. You can also check out our latest Lean Eating Men's Finalists.
(Note: In our Lean Eating coaching program, exercise minimalism forms the foundation of the entire workout. That's why even the busiest guys can get fantastic results by following the program).
Then Add In Better Nutrition Advice
Yes, exercise is important. But, for busy, high-stress guys wanting to drop weight or get back in shape, nutrition is where it's at. That's why I also recommended a few nutrition tips.
Again, I told him to forget what we did "back in the day." Loading up on whole milk, protein shakes, chicken breasts, and steamed broccoli was fine when we were younger. But nowadays his goals are different.
Plus, he's got a family to consider. Forcing his wife and children to choke down "bodybuilding food" - or to make special meals just for him - will do more harm than good.
So, we started with a few nutrition habits, just like we do in the Lean Eating program.
To keep things simple, for the first two weeks of his new exercise program, he added 1g of fish oil per percent body fat (he took 25g a day) and a multivitamin. Yes, that was it. For the first two weeks.
After that, we introduced a new nutrition habit every two weeks. Some habits had to do with how he was eating, some with what he was eating, some with how much he was eating, and some with when he was eating.
But they were all designed progressively - each habit building on the last. The key: we didn't change too much at once. By changing just a little at a time, the changes felt small. Almost too small. But, at the end of the year, his eating was completely different.
Keeping It Simple
For guys with a lot of responsibilities - and stress - this is exactly how it ought to be.
When you're 19 years old, you may have the time to read, research, and come up with all sorts of crazy exercise and nutrition plans. (Although a good coach would still probably do better).
But, at 40, focusing on being a good partner, doing your best as a parent, giving your all at work, keeping up your home, and making sure your bills are paid...there goes your time and mental energy.
Do you really need more stuff to figure out? Probably not.
That's why it's best, when it comes to fitness, to find someone who can do the thinking and planning for you. Who can make it easy and allow you to focus on one thing: doing.
According to our most successful Lean Eating clients, it's this very thing that made all the difference. By trusting the coaching process, and simply doing as we said, they were able to get into the best shape of their lives without stressing and agonizing over every step of the way.
What To Do Now
In the end, know this: If you're a busy guy it's still possible to drop fat, get healthy, and get into the best shape of your life.
All you need is a simplified exercise plan, a progressive set of nutrition habits, and possibly a coach to help guide the process.
Of course, if you'd like some help, consider the Lean Eating program. This is what we do every day, and we've gotten quite good at helping busy guys – we've worked with over 5,000 of them – find a way to prioritize their own health and fitness.
However, whether you choose Lean Eating or not, I do encourage you to do something, anything that moves you in the right direction, as soon as possible.
Before you know it, 30 extra pounds can easily become 50 extra pounds. High blood sugar can easily become type 2 diabetes. And high cholesterol can easily become cardiovascular disease.
So the question isn't "Do I have time to get in shape?" It's "Do I have time not to?"

The 30-year old was named in Pim Verbeek's 35-man squad, which will need to be trimmed before the October 15 match in Brisbane against Qatar, but if Kewell cannot get up to make an appearance for Galatasaray on the weekend he is almost certain to miss the international. The form of Kewell has been outstanding in Turkey as he relishes a fresh start but it seems to be the same old story as injury again interrupts his progress. He has been able to string together more games recently than in previous years but the fact he will be underdone and in danger of further damage to his ever-troubling groin will reduce the probability of playing.

Death Bird in the Zucchini Tree 69cm X 82cm ink pen on paper
Every Great Journey Begins with a Beginning
Masters of Disguise
The Butterfly
After 6 months of concentrating on other projects, I decided to put pen to paper again last Friday and see if I could still draw. This is a character from an illustrated book I've been working on for some time…its not finished yet but…so far, so good. I only began drawing regularly when I came to Vietnam about 5 years ago and I never drew when I was young so, when I don't draw for a period of time, I'm petrified I won't know what to do when I next pick up a pen.
The Leafy Sea Dragon
For the past few years now, in between doing design work, I have been trying to hone my drawing skills using only fine point black ink pens. After some experimenting, I now use Copic Multiliners, mostly the 0.1 size. This Leafy Sea Dragon was a commissioned piece for a musician friend in Australia I did earlier this year. She is a very talented singer, piano player and composer who has a song about the leafy sea dragon which is – apparently – the marine sea animal of my home state.

SHOPPERS are shunning the 'BOGOFs' and other supermarket promotions in favour of their community-owned shops, a new survey has revealed.
And the community shops are performing better than major supermarket chains, says the rural review published by the Plunkett Foundation.
At Kirdford Village Stores, chairman Sue Ransley said turnover was getting on for double the estimates in the shop's business plan.
"Our turnover for 2013 was more than £450,000. We have completely outstripped our estimates in our business plan where we hoped to make £250,000 and this year we are hoping to break through the half-million-pound barrier."
She said community shops were 'very robust and a popular model for communities to follow'.
"This survey shows people are voting with their feet, saving petrol and finding that BOGOFs and end-of-aisle supermarket promotions are not necessarily saving them money."
At Lodsworth Larder, now in its fifth year of trading, chairman Mike Davies said turnover was growing and last year broke through the £250,000 mark.
"Obviously the object was to create a shop for the good of the community," he said.
"It is well used and everybody feels it's a definite bonus to the community as it serves not only as a shopping but also a social centre."
Chairman of community-run Milland Stores, Isobel Fraser, said the village shop was also running ahead of target, with a turnover of more than £190,000 last year.
"We are certainly doing better than we anticipated and part of the reason is we have extended the cafe at the shop and the menu.
"We listen and try to stock what people want, it's a very different service from a supermarket."
Milland also runs a scaled-down post office and a dry cleaning service.
The Plunkett report found with like-for-like sales growth at 1.9 per cent, community shops were outstripping that of major supermarkets for the third year running.

Seabirds begin nesting along SC coast
It's that time of year for nesting seabirds to congregate and begin nesting on the S.C. Department of Natural Resources Seabird Sanctuaries, Deveaux Bank, Bird Key Stono and Crab Bank. The nesting areas are managed by the DNR to help protect species such as brown pelicans, least terns, royal terns, sandwich terns, black skimmers, great egrets and American oystercatchers. All these islands have one thing in common - ideal conditions for ground nesting seabirds and shorebirds. Small, isolated sand islands make ideal nesting habitat due to the lack of mammalian predators such as raccoons.
Due to the sensitive nature of the colonies Crab Bank, an approximately 15 acre island at the mouth of Shem Creek, and Bird Key Stono, a 35-acre island at the Stono River Inlet, are closed to boat landings and the public from Mar. 15 to Oct. 15. The area on these islands below the high water line is open to the public from Oct. 16 to Mar. 14. Deveaux Bank, a 215-acre island between Seabrook and Edisto Islands, is closed year-round above the high water line. A portion of Deveaux Bank above the high water line is designated for limited recreational use. Dogs and camping are prohibited on all of the islands year-round. Trespassing violations on Bird Key Stono, Crab Bank, and Deveaux Bank incur a fine of up to $465 and/or 30 days in jail.
Species nesting on these estuarine islands typically find their location and mate in March, and build nests and lay eggs in April and May. Many younger birds do not leave nesting islands until October. Sanders said, "A seemingly innocent walk along the beach has unintended consequences for the birds. Seabird eggs are perfectly camouflaged for protection from predators and can easily be crushed underfoot. Even the most careful individuals will miss eggs. Also, if approached, the adults will leave the nest. With no shade, the sun can quickly bake chicks and eggs. Unprotected eggs are also easy targets for gulls, which snatch eggs and chicks from the nest."
Dehydration of chicks that have left the nest is another problem created by human disturbance. In several tern species, the chicks will leave the nest when able to walk and congregate along the beach in large groups. The parents fly into these groups and find their individual young to feed. People walking along the beach cause the large groups of chicks to run along ahead. Due to their small size and high summer temperatures, the chicks can quickly become dehydrated and die.
Dogs are particularly damaging to colonies due to their instinct to chase birds, Sanders said. Even the most calm house pet can hardly resist the urge to chase. For additional information, contact Felicia Sanders, coastal wildlife biologist with the DNR at (843) 520-0961, or email@example.com. Also check the DNR Managed Lands website at http://www.dnr.sc.gov/birdsanctuaries/index.html for more information on the islands.

Prime Minister Viktor Orbán called Egypt Hungary's neighbor in "a political sense" and praised the country's stability and counter-terrorism efforts at a joint press conference in Budapest with Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi on Monday, reports Hungarian news site index.hu based on the Hungarian state news agency (MTI).
"Egypt is not just a near country but our neighbor in a political sense, a significant state in an area that has an influence on our lives," Orbán said. "The other side of the Mediterranean Sea is part of European history, sooner or later we feel the effects of [events] that happen there, moreover because of the improvements in technology, we can say that [events] that happen there in the beginning of the week already have an influence on Europe's public safety, on the quality of European life and on Europe's stability by the end of the week." Orbán praised Egypt's success in counter-terrorism as the prerequisite of peace and tranquility in Europe as well.
Like many times before, he once again incorporated preconceptions and oversimplified statements in his speech in the name of "the Hungarian people":
"When Hungarians look at other countries, firstly they inspect how much they are in love with their own independence, since Hungary's history is a series of struggles for sovereignty [...] When a leader arrives in Budapest from a country that tries to rebuild its own nation based on this logic – like Abdel Fattah el-Sisi – they always earn our respect, we always consider visitors like this, particularly precious guests," said Orbán, adding that he expects Hungarian-Egyptian economic-commercial relationships to grow remarkably. He also thanked Abdel Fattah el-Sisi for conducting a "determined and exemplary politics" for the protection of Christians in the Near East.
Leaders of the three other Visegrád countries, Poland, the Czech Republic and Slovakia, will join the talks about economic and security cooperation on Tuesday. The goal is a future Central European-Egyptian economic partnership, said Orbán.
President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi, the authoritarian leader of Egypt, declared in his speech that the Egyptian people are ready to undertake both the fight against terrorism and significant economic measures for the sake of stability. Abdel Fattah el-Sisi underlined that there is no need for gratitude for protecting Christians as [the Egyptian state] does not differentiate between people based on their religion, and every person has the right to safety and protection. The Egyptian president noted that next year will be the 90th anniversary of Egyptian-Hungarian diplomatic relations. Abdel Fattah el-Sisi thanked Hungary for playing a significant role in representing Egypt's interests in the European Union and revealed he and Orbán were discussing options regarding the tackling of migration, the peaceful resolution of the Syrian and Libyan civil wars, and long-term peace in the Near East region.

AUSTIN — At last, Texas and TCU got the RSVP they needed for their Thanksgiving dinner plans.
The Big 12 on Friday announced the completion of its long-anticipated 13-year, $2.6-billion TV contract with ABC/ESPN and FOX, one that will pay each school $20 million annually over the life of the deal.
The formal announcement of the contract meant the conference could finally make official the move of the UT-TCU football game in Austin from Nov. 24 to Nov. 22, Thanksgiving night. The game will be broadcast on ESPN.
Officials from both schools had said for months they expected to play the game on Thanksgiving, but the Big 12 needed approval from its TV partners before finalizing the move. The Longhorns-Horned Frogs matchup will fill the spot formerly occupied by the UT-Texas A&M rivalry game.
UT athletic director DeLoss Dodds said last week he expects the Longhorns to play on Thanksgiving in Austin every year during the new TV contract. That would mean finding another opponent for odd-numbered years, when TCU doesn't visit UT. Texas Tech is one possibility.

Meta Tag improvement work customarily absorption on three out of oodles unequal Meta tag options. These iii are the banner Meta tag, Meta write-up and Meta keywords. Search engines gawk for these 3 Meta tags as one of the cause in commanding the website or web pages.
However, Meta keywords are not useful for one dig out engines because several website owners substance their web pages next to buried or repetitive keywords. This is called keyword stuffing and may be a exact for the explore engines to ban a web page or website ad infinitum.
The biggest dream of Meta tag optimization services is to optimise the Meta tags reported to the algorithms of activity engines. They in general want a website or page to have these Meta tags in bidding for them to form out the well-matched web leaf to showing on the results folio of an computer network user,s furrow.Post ads:

The Meta description tag must be composing of 5-8 words or not more than 75 characters. Meta tag optimisation employment are freehanded marked attention to this Meta tag because the search out engines usually kind out the name first, plus its connexion to the contented and if the keyword is united in the nickname. The orientating of keywords in the rubric tag is also great for furrow motor top-level.
The Meta statement is all nearly the restatement of the web page,s fulfilled. The finest Meta tag optimisation work bestow an dead-on and engrossing Meta details in a web leaf for the website consumer they are manual labour. The Meta explanation must be strong plenty to promote the internet users to sound on a individual web leaf because this Meta tag appears on the hunt grades of a furrow engine.
Meta keyword was one of the most considerable keys in determinative the connexion of a web folio. That was a weeklong time ago when the rummage engines have not yet complete that whatever unethical companies are packing their website and pages near disguised keywords or placing keywords recurrently.Post ads:

Meta tag improvement is not the lone reply to have a better top-level to poke about engines. There are a lot of factors to be thoughtful in these rankings. But it is better that you have to use Meta tag optimisation work to your web parcel so that you can investigate the possibilities specified by it.

Because ARALAST NP is derived from
pooled human plasma, it may carry a risk of transmitting infectious
agents, e.g., viruses and theoretically, the Creutzfeldt–Jakob
disease (CJD) agent. Stringent procedures designed to
reduce the risk of adventitious agent transmission have been employed in
the manufacture of this product, from the screening of plasma donors and
the collection and testing of plasma through the application of viral
elimination/reduction steps such as ethanol fractionation, PEG
precipitation, solvent detergent treatment, and nanofiltration. Despite
these measures, such products can still potentially transmit disease;
therefore, the risk of infectious agents cannot be totally eliminated.

any acute anaphylactic or anaphylactoid reaction.
ARALAST NP should be administered at room temperature
within three (3) hours after reconstitution. Partially used
vials should be discarded and not saved for future use. The
solution contains no preservative.
ARALAST NP should be administered alone, without mixing
with other agents or diluting solutions.
Animal reproduction studies have not been conducted with
ARALAST NP. It is also not known whether ARALAST NP can cause
fetal harm when administered to pregnant women or can affect
reproductive capacity.
It is not known whether alpha1-proteinase
inhibitor is excreted in human milk. Because many drugs are
excreted in human milk, caution should be exercised when ARALAST
NP is administered to a nursing woman.
Safety and effectiveness in pediatric patients have not
been established.
Clinical studies of ARALAST NP did not include sufficient
numbers of subjects aged 65 and over to determine whether they
respond differently from younger subjects. As for all patients,
dosing for geriatric patients should be appropriate to their
overall situation. Safety and effectiveness in patients over age
65 years of age have not been established.
Inform patients that administration of ARALAST NP has
been demonstrated to raise the plasma level of α1-PI,
but that the effect of this augmentation on the frequency of
pulmonary exacerbations and on the rate of progression of
emphysema has not been established by clinical

Becoming a child of God
We focus our attention on verses 11-13, where we learn how to become a child of God and what it means to be a child of God.
It's often pointed out that our world is very different from the world into which Jesus was born. We must, however, ask the question, "Is it really that different?" We can point to many differences. We must also recognize that there is a sense in which the world hasn't really changed all that much since Jesus' time.
We're told, in verse 11, that Jesus didn't get a very warm reception when He came to this world. He didn't receive a hero's welcome. He didn't get the red carpet put out for Him. He wasn't honoured as a VIP - a Very Important Person.
"He came to His own people, and His own people received Him not."
His reception was no civic reception, no big occasion for invited guests only. It was a non-reception. They did not receive Him.
Jesus was born into the nation of Israel. He came as the Saviour of Israel. The nation of Israel did not welcome Him. They had no time for Him.
Is this not very similar to the situation in today's world?
Jesus, the Saviour of the world, calls people to come to Him. They do not come. He pleads with them. They refuse to come to Him.
Down through the centuries of time, in many different lands, the story repeats itself; "He came to His own home, and His own people received Him not" (v. 11).
This is not, however, the whole story. In Israel, Jesus called people to follow Him. Down through the centuries, in many different lands, Jesus has continued to draw men and women to Himself.
The people of God may not be great in number, compared with the vast numbers who turn their backs on the Lord Jesus Christ.
We do not, however, lose heart. We rejoice in God the Father, who, in love, has brought us into His family as His sons and daughters.
As we consider two things - how to become a child of God and what it means to be a child of God, we may find it helpful to draw a comparison with the commitment of marriage and the relationship of marriage.
For some of us, marriage has not been a joyful commitment. It has not been a happy relationship.
It must be stressed that our relationship with God the Father through Jesus Christ is the source of true joy and happiness.
There is a basic difference between a relationship between two sinners, especially where one partner persistently refuses to acknowledge Jesus Christ as Saviour and Lord, and the greatest relationship of all - knowing God as our Father and rejoicing in the privilege of being His children.
Looking at the ideal underlying marriage may help us to appreciate more fully how we become God's children and what it means to be God's children.
Prior to marriage, the man is a bachelor and the woman is a spinster. After marriage, the man is a husband and the woman is a wife. Marriage is a life-changing experience. You will never be the same again.
Even when a marriage fails, the man cannot simply return to being a bachelor and the woman cannot simply return to being a spinster. Through marriage, you become a different person. The bachelor becomes the husband. the spinster becomes the wife.
How does this help us to understand the Christian experience of becoming a child of God?
Before coming in faith to Jesus Christ, God is our Creator and we are His creatures. Once we have come in faith to the Saviour, everything changes. God is now our Father and we are His children.
The moment of coming in faith to the Saviour is a life-changing moment.. It is the moment when the creature of God becomes the child of God. It is the moment in which we come to know God, not only as our Creator but also as our Father.
He is no longer the faraway God. He is no longer the remote, detached and distant God. He is no longer the unknown God.
Now, we know Him. He is our Father. He loves us and He has come near to us in Jesus Christ.
Life can never be the same again, once we have come to know the father, through His Son, our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ.
The new life which we have begun is eternal life, a life which has no end, a life of praising our Father in time and for eternity.
A marriage begins with a question and an answer: Do you take this woman to be your wife? - I do. Do you take this man to be your husband? - I do.
The Christian life, life as a child of God, begins with a question and an answer: Do you take Jesus Christ as your Saviour? - I do.
Taking Jesus Christ as your Saviouir is a decisive step, a life-changing act.
It is an act, which involves your total personality. It is an act which involves the mind, the will and the emotions.
- With your mind, you believe what the Bible tells you concerning Jesus Christ.
- With you will, you commit yourself to living in the will of God, living as a disciple of Jesus Christ.
- With your emotions, you experience the joy of knowing that God is your Father and that you are His child.
The most appropriate way of describing the experience of receiving Christ and becoming a child of God is this; it is a new birth, a heavenly birth. You are born again, born from above, born of God.
The questions which the Word of God sets before us are these:
- "Do you know God as your loving, heavenly Father?" or "Is there no more than a vague awareness of Him as your Creator?"
- "Have you received the Lord Jesus Christ as your Saviour? Are you a child of God, rejoicing in the love of God the Father, the grace and mercy of the Saviour and the power of the Holy Spirit?
- If there is any doubt, will you answer with faith now?

|Reviews for If it's not
| Gijinka Renamon chapter 1 . 5/10/2005
Hmm...kinda makes you wonder...
| Trav chapter 1 . 4/29/2005
deep... real deep!
| Matryoshka chapter 1 . 1/29/2005
Thank you! My thoughts exactly! All the stuff we hear in the media about "terrorists", the whole "fear" thing-though "terrorists" may be partially responsible for some things (i.e. September 11) but seriously, some of the stuff in the media only seems to be a way for the government to control people. I really like your analogy of the "terrorist" threat to the "Communist" threat-remember all those bomb shelters, all those "drills"? And though perhaps there was an "enemy", it seems the propaganda effect was really what the governments were after.
| Story-Teller's Aide chapter 1 . 7/28/2004
i really liked the line:
Who will destroy earth first
The invisible enemy or the propaganda
that completely conveyed your point about the not-so-threatening-invisible-enemy who has yet to strike, or the way we are tearing ourselves apart without the enemy just due to fear of a non-threatening-paranoia-enemy
| J. Harper Green chapter 1 . 7/24/2004
I really like this. You're completely right. I don't know if you've read this, but it brought the book 1984 to mind.
| holocaustpulp chapter 1 . 7/23/2004
Weapons of mass destruction are as much as a fallacy as the Domino Effect. Is the righteous superiors whom we elect who believe this though, munfortunately. This poem conveyed this message very well; communists posed no direct threat, as the terrorists don't either. Frankly, it seems as if we're more of the threat than the "threat." The repetition was catchy, and the strong imagery made and questioning made the poem great.

Eee PC 4G-X in stock at BestBuy
by David Stellmack on07 April 2008
- font size decrease font size increase font size
From the Web site or at selected stores
We have confirmed that the Asus Eee PC 4G-X is now in stock on the BestBuy Web site and is available for in-store pickup at select store locations. From what we can tell they have units in stock and they will ship within one day of the order.
Getting the Eee PC 4G-X into Best Buy is quite a coup for Asus who has been seeking to expand their mainstream brand awareness in areas outside of the typical PC enthusiasts. With the Eee PC being sold in a Windows XP configuration in BestBuy locations this achieves a mainstream presence that Asus has never really had previously at the brick and mortar level.
The PC 4G-X is being sold for US$399 and it will come with Windows XP Home and will be powered by an Intel Celeron M processor clocked at 900MHz. It will also include a 4GB SSD for storage, 512MB of DDR2, and a 7-inch 800x480 LCD display.
Asus was able to price the Eee PC 4G-X at $399, mainly thanks to an agreement with Microsoft which lowered the price of XP to under $40 per unit.
It will be interesting to see how consumers respond to the Eee PC and if it flies off the shelves at the retail level as it has in the online world. For those needing a second PC and who want one that runs Windows XP, this is an interesting solution, but one has to wonder if ULPCs will really be something that consumers will continue to want with its relatively small drive and limited expansion options.
For a second computer that is used mostly for Web surfing and Email, we do think that the ULPCs do work well in this realm, but beyond these types of applications, there are other options that just might make a little more sense to consumers.

Chelsea 50, Huron 45
Story | Boxscore
Grace Sauers went 13 for 18 from the free-throw line and finished with 17 points to lead Chelsea. Teammate Riley Singleton added 15 points and eight rebounds. The Bulldogs are now 3-3 and 2-0 in SEC White play.
"We only scored one field goal in the fourth quarter," Chelsea coach Todd Blomquist said of his team's second-half performance. "We used (Ann Arbor) Huron's aggressiveness to our advantage."
Chelsea shot 21 of its 41 free throws in the fourth quarter. The game was tied 34-34 after three quarters.
Auzhane King led Ann Arbor Huron with 11 points, and teammates Bianca Williams and Micah Robinson added nine and eight points, respectively. Huron drops to 3-2 this season and 1-1 in SEC Red play.
Lincoln 52, Pioneer 34
Story | Boxscore
Ypsilanti Lincoln had a little practice with its boys junior varsity team then had a big first half of defense in the non-conference win.
"I contacted our junior varsity boys coach and he coached with me last year. ... He brought his team to my practice in order to help us get some work," Lincoln coach Mike Foley said. "It is hard to emulate a team like Pioneer with the reserve players."
The key to the game was Lincoln (6-1) outscoring Pioneer (5-1) in the first half by a 27-9 margin.
Dexter 60, Skyline 38
Story | Boxscore
Dexter's Crystal Kedroske led with 15 points, followed by Emma Kill and Taylor Olson, who scored 11 points each. Teia McGahey added 10 points. Dexter remains unbeaten at 6-0, 2-0 SEC White.

Manchester 49, Michigan Center 29
Story | Boxscore
Manchester's Jessie Manders scored a game-high 17 points. Teammate Taylor Manders added 16 points, eight rebounds and five steals.
Michigan Center (5-4, 3-3 Cascades Conference) led 16-12 at the end of the first quarter, but Manchester switched up its defense in the second and outscored the Cardinals 21-6. Leading 33-22 coming out of halftime, Manchester (7-1, 4-0) limited Michigan Center to one point in the third quarter and six in the fourth.
"We had to switch our defense up a few times," Manchester coach Cori Kastel said. "Once we found the right one that worked, that allowed us to have a good second quarter. We didn't give them second-chance opportunities. In the second half, we took our time on offense and waited for the right shot. The biggest thing was not to force things and keep our composure."
Carleton Airport 42, Milan 28
Story | Boxscore
Carleton Airport's Chelsea Mossburg scored 16 points, going 8 for 9 from the line, and Sam Lanham added 10 points. The Jets grabbed 40 boards compared to Milan's 21.
"In the second half Mossburg got to the line and was more aggressive in her play," Carleton Airport coach Greg Roberts said. "That gave us an advantaged. "
Milan's Lexus Kersey scored 10 points to lead the Big Reds. Milan is now 1-5 this and 0-2 in Huron League play.
Clinton 44, Whitmore Lake 37
Story | Boxscore
Everything was going well for Whitmore Lake through the first quarter, but two injuries derailed the team's offense midway through the game.
The more serious of the two injuries came from Madi Bix, who fell to the court with a right-knee injury while on a breakaway off a steal.
"She stole it, broke away from the defense, and on the way down she let out a scream and fell," Whitmore Lake coach Jennifer Taylor said. "We got the knee bandaged and she hobbled around. We are hoping for the best."
Whitmore Lake is now 1-6 this season and 0-1 in the Tri-County Conference.

Hi there
My daughter is failing math and I was wondering what steps I could take to help her pass?
Thank you
I think my sixth grader is having some issues in math because she has been behind for some time. Essentially, I feel she needs to go back and re-learn some of the previous lessons from grade 5 or even 4 so that she can actually "get" the grade 6 level stuff. I know this is what is going with her math but the teacher has given me basically a blank report card not addressing this. How can I go about catching her up
We moved provinces this year (Ontario to BC). My oldest was in middle school in Toronto, and is in high school here in BC - 10th grade. I've seen a big dip in her marks with the move and this has me wondering about the level of difficulty province-to-province. She's a dedicated student but has moved from A to B/C+ level. Also noticed that the teacher is telling us that she is can "improve" in areas we know her to be strong in (writing, literacy).
How come some areas of the Lower Mainland have middle schools while some do not?
I also want to know about the grading system school to school. Is it the same? Or do some schools mark differently? Or is it by area (richmond, surrey, etc etc)?
I'm wondering about the benefit of private schools versus public schools, and how this might help my kids. I have both of them in public school right now, and while one is doing OK, the other is struggling. I like the idea of smaller class sizes, too. From the "experts" perspective, is it worth the investment? Thank you.
This does affect me but was wondering as neighbors of mine are homeschooling. How does this work exactly. Do they get report cards.
I want to know how we are catching up for the 2 months we lost. My son is in grade 7 and I am concerned that this extra time off has really set his progress back. Do you think that the strike is still affecting kids? And how do we turn that around?
Is summer school a good idea for kids? I wanted to do summer school this year but didn't. Does it reinforce or does it put them ahead?
Hi there, just wondering about any educational or homework apps that might be good for a grade 6 kid out there.
How come home ec isn't considered a core class anymore? It's important and teaches life skills, but seems like it's being pushed off to the side year by year. Not sure if u can answer that, just wondering.
Hi there - I've received my daughter's first Grade 12 report card and I am concerned that she is not achieving the marks she requires for early admission to UBC Arts. This is her top choice. With two terms to go, what can I do to help her get in?
Considering we live in an age of consistent technological advancement; how will technology be incorporated into education or will there be a move away from technology in order to preserve traditional learning techniques? (ex. tablets vs. books, school provided laptops in the classrooms?)
Will schools eventually be making the move to providing digital report cards instead of paper report cards?
How do I know that my child's report card is really accurate? Especially in a high school with thousands of kids? I don't trust this system, and I have doubts about the report card my son got last week. #help
Love your show, we watch every morning!!! OK, here's my big question....getting my kid up in the morning to go to school is a total nightmare. He's not enjoying school, period How do I change his attitde?
What's up with the report card delay??? We didn't get any at the end of last year, leaving us hanging. Now we get one after months and they're telling me my kid isn't doing well with his reading...well I would have been on that all summer if someone told me. How do I play catch up now that we're already one term in??? PLEASE HELP!
Hi, good evening. I'm Sharone. I received both of my kids report cards on Thursday. My daughter is doing exceptionally well this year and I'm concerned that she's not being challenged enough, especially heading into high school. We are looking at a couple independent Christian schools in our area, but someone also suggested an IB program or mini school. How do I know what we should be considering?
My son is in a grade 4/5 split class and I don't think that it's working. I think this is true for many kids and I want to investigate this issue further. Is there studies on this? I'm also considering taking my son out of this class but I'm not sure how I can request this. Do I ask the principal? Switch schools?
just wanting to know more about teaching kids to read if they are behind? what can I do?
Good evening, CTV Vancouver! My daughter is currently attending Jamieson Elementary. She's in Grade 7 there, around 60 kids in the grade I think. There's a large number of ESL kids in the school, and her grade. I think this is detrimental to kids who's first language is actually english. How come the ESL kids are mixed in with the other students? Is there a benefit to this? Seems like it's putting everyone else behind....and I can't imagine they are doing well on report cards...
My child was sick for 3 weeks and this was noted on the report card as affecting her performance. I worked with the teacher while she was sick to get the homework and keep up. I was told this sufficient at the time but now I feel blindsided. I want to confront the teacher about it as I do not think this is fair. For example, she received 0 on a social studies presentation that she could not make.
Hello CTV! My Son and Daughter are in grade 5 and 7, respectively, and the homework is piling up. On Friday, my younger son had 2 tests, in addition to 3 hours of homework. This is getting out of hand and I think there's way too much extra time that my wife and I have to put into the school work. How can we better manage the homework load so we aren't overloaded, too.
HI CTV. Here's my dilemma: my daughter has been having trouble in math for eons...and the home work is getting harder and harder. She's now in 10th grade and I honestly just can't keep up...how am I supposed to help her when I can't even do the work myself??? We looked at a few tutoring options and they were very pricey. Any tips?
my son has is not meeting expectations in math and french but was last year, hes in seventh grade. I'm wondering how we can get ready for grade 8...is private school better for kids that are struggling. pls let me know.
How much help should I give my kid on his homework. Sometimes I feel like I'm doing it for him, but I did get a note on his report card we should try to be more hands on? He's in grade 5.
Why is it OK for an elementary school child to get "developing" as a grade in a subject instead of "fail". A child in my sons class has grades of "developing" in every subject with no repercussions.
I got my kids report cards last week and I'm really confused on to decipher them. For example, on one of the reports, my son got this comment: "IMPROVE MATH." The comments were so vague on both that I don't even know what to make of them. The teacher is not very responsive to parent inquiries. Why are report cards so vague? And, as a parent, how am I supposed to use the information to help my kids improve?

Thank you to everyone who submitted their questions this morning. If you missed the opportunity to submit your inquiries, our team will be back tonight from 5 - 7 p.m.
A common question Sylvan Learning receives from parents:What math courses does my child need in high school to be able to attend university? (Does it matter if my son is in A&W math?)A: High school students need to take either Pre-Calculus math courses or Foundation math courses in high school for university entrance. If they are taking Apprenticeship & Workplace math courses, they will need to upgrade their math skills at a community college or university before being granted acceptance into a university program. Check the BC curriculum website at http://www.gov.bc.ca/bced/ for more details.

One of the people I notice the Divine Mark is a Lummi (a Northwest Indian tribe) Elder friend and teacher of mine. He practices Native traditional spiritual ways and he is not really Christian. He is very down to earth, but very spiritual in a natural way. He doesn't put on airs or hold himself out as better than others. He is very busy with his community and social activism with issues that concern not only his tribe and local community but his country and the world. I asked him once if everyone who attains a certain age should be considered an Elder, he said, "No, some of them are just old and messed up." A good example of his practical, down to earth wisdom.
I don't believe in the Mark of the Divine, being something pre-determined and notable throughout every minister, chaplain, spiritual leader, etc. I believe it can sometimes be something someone grows and matures into as they age. There might be little to no evidence of a Divine Mark or difference in a person earlier in their life.
However, they might show evidence of this Mark, later in life. They may even lose and regain their Mark, or lose it completely. I think it is somewhat vain to think you are so special that you were created or pre-ordained by God or some Higher Power before you were even born and that you set apart by God to be so favored and special than other people. I believe more in the Mark of the Divine being qualities and actions that a person has and does that Marks them out as Divine. Not that they are some chosen Holy person from before birth. I believe that ministry, chaplaincy, etc. are a calling from God, the Divine, Higher Powers, etc. There may be those individuals who seem and indeed are destined to be spiritual leaders, however for others it may be more of a calling. For myself, as a young boy and even as a young man becoming a minister and a chaplain did not seem very likely. I thought that a would have to join one of the major faith traditions in the country either a Christian denomination or Judaism. Neither, interested me. Until my late twenties I was unaware of organized religions and churches such as Unitarian-Universalist and ULC. My interest in religion changed greatly with the concept of Universal faiths and that I could express my true beliefs and not feel like a heretic. Others have seen a change in me and others note the hard work and dedication to my beliefs and convictions. My mother has said to me things like, "You really have developed some good values, you really care about people. Others, like my friend Steve, says things like, "You have been working really hard on your studies and work on your ministry and Druidic Order."
It seems my calling to ministry and chaplaincy is one from a Pantheistic, Universal, Christian, Pagan, Goddess, Great Spirit, God. In many ways this Deity is
like the Hindu concept of God, being one and being many and being part of the physical and spiritual Universe. I therefore, do not fit in to many of the established World Religions. My calling is serve those who are part of the spiritual communities who accept my Universal, yet Nature based traditions. I am the current clergy leader of a Druidic Order called Cedar Grove Druid Order and the ULC minister for a Universal Life Church ministry and chaplaincy to serve the needs of faith members who have similar beliefs as myself. I also, do not hesitate to interfaith referrals for anyone who wants clergy or a faith member to minister to them of any kind. I also, work as a Health Minister for Cedar Grove Druid Order and my ULC ministry with hospitals, churches and the general community. Also, I have been working with a Healing Circle with Lummi Nation.
