RICHARD BRITTAIN was quick to offer a warm hand of congratulations to his young team-mate for a stunning contribution against Aberdeen.
The pats on the back for 19-year-old Steven Ross were richly-deserved.
But youngster be warned.
The Ross County captain will be just as quick with a cold clip around the ear if there is any hint of it going to his head.
In only his second competitive start, the County youth academy product showed great poise and calm in bursting behind the Dons' defence to grab the crucial second goal.
But Brittain's praise came with just a hint of a barbed warning.
It would be easy for the kid to bask in the limelight that fell on him on Saturday and believe somehow he has already made it.
Brittain, though, would never stand for that.
County are a club that has thrived on a philosophy of equality.
Prima donnas or big-time Charlies are quickly whipped into shape or shown the door.
After his part in ending Aberdeen's 10-game unbeaten run in the SPL, the County skipper said: "I'm absolutely delighted for Steven. He has been working hard and is a good finisher. He does it in training every day.
"I thought he was outstanding today and he was up against two of the best centre-halves in the league.
"It's a good start for him but that's all it is – a start. We have to keep him grounded. He has a long, long way to go in the game, he's only a young kid.
"But if he keeps working hard, I'm sure he will do well."
The mantra of tireless workrate is one serving County well in the SPL.
Aberdeen found few answers against the diligence and organisation of the Dingwall team and County more than earned their luck as one Gavin Rae strike shook the bar.
After an unfortunate Mark Reynolds own goal had sent the hosts ahead, Ross struck brilliantly four minutes after the break.
Rocco Quinn picked the pass from deep and Ross, leaving defenders for dead, took the ball a good 20 yards before showing his cool with a cracking, angled finish.
Eventually, Aberdeen pressure told as substitute Jonny Hayes cut in on the extreme right to find Niall McGinn finishing close in.
But, to their immense credit, County – who have lost costly late goals against Celtic, St Mirren and Hearts – refused to crumble.
For Brittain, there was immense satisfaction at the overall strength and resilience of the display.
The former St Mirren and Livingston midfielder said: "It was a very difficult game. Aberdeen are a quality side – just look at the players they were bringing off the bench.
"They have a team packed with quality but we were excellent today. We had a good shape about us, worked hard and managed to rustle up something to win the game."
Since a difficult patch of three defeats broke their long unbeaten run, County have taken seven points from nine against Hibs, Hearts and Dons.Brittain said: "We always knew we had the quality. You don't go 40 games unbeaten in the league without having that quality in the squad.
"We knew the step-up to the SPL was going to be difficult but the boys are coping with it well. Today, we worked hard and were fortunate enough to get the three points.
"We have lost late goals this season so knew our concentration levels had to be better – and they were today.
"We were under the cosh for long spells in the game, especially in the second half.
"But the way we held strong, I feel, was a credit to us."
Aberdeen captain Russell Anderson was frustrated by the manner of defeat as much as the loss of three points. The Dons took a boisterous, 2000-strong travelling support to Dingwall yet never ignited for them.
Much of that was down to County's tenacity and organisation, while individuals such as Mihael Kovacevic won their battles against Ryan Fraser and Co.
The Dons did see fortune evaporate on a couple of occasions but Anderson had no wish to entertain hard luck stories. He said: "You get what you deserve in football. I can't remember County having a chance in the game but we have gifted them two goals. We got what we deserved.
"Our run was always going to come to an end but for it to end in that manner is disappointing. If we are going to lose then it should be because the opposition are better than us and we were outplayed but I don't think that was the case. You have to give them credit for sticking to their task, though."
It was the Dons first visit to Victoria Park on competitive business and perhaps a novel experience in terms of the tight ground and atmosphere.
But Anderson was not in the mood to entertain excuses. The defender added: "It may be a difficult place to visit but there are no easy places in the SPL.
"We brought a magnificent travelling support with us and it's disappointing we couldn't get a result for them.
"The annoying thing is we've given away soft goals the last two games.
"Our goalkeeper didn't have a serious save to make but neither did County's goalkeeper, so clearly there is work to be done at both ends of the park for us."

President-elect Donald Trump's sexually-charged jokes about his daughter, Ivanka, are nothing new. Among many other things, he told shock jock Howard Stern in 2004 he could call his then-23-year-old daughter a "piece of ass" and later said during an appearance on "The View" he would date Ivanka if she wasn't his daughter.
"If he wasn't my father, I would spray him with Mace," Ivanka Trump responded to her dad's comments at the time, according to a tweet from freelance journalist Sarah Kendzior.
Never saw much reporting on Ivanka's response to Trump saying he wanted to date her: "If he wasn't my father, I would spray him with Mace." pic.twitter.com/RVlP4DdIc1

There has been little to no reporting on Ivanka Trump's response to Donald Trump's inappropriate comments about her. But this was found buried in the Chicago Tribune, which you can see here. It appeared in the newspaper's "Quotables" section in 2006.

Review Summary: Nothing more than a sloppy mess of abysmal lyrics, and boring vocals.
Unfortunately, this is a rough one, for Rock Engrafted is a Christian Rock/Alternative rock band founded in 2009 by Oba Sola-Ojo, as the Lead Vocalist. They have recorded studio songs already released before 'Ends of the Earth'.
Rock Engrafted released a single titled 'Ends of the Earth'. Click on the and go listen to it if you haven't yet and then come back to this review. I'll wait. Done? OK.
It was widely received by the Nigerian Rock community. The song sounds like a hardcore rock song, with the use of both clean and harsh vocals, and electrical percussion instruments. I must say, I envy the courage of Rock Engrafted to take on this kind of rock song in a country like Nigeria, where Rock Music is not well accepted, talk less of Christian Rock. So their effort is a giant step in the right direction. I also credit the lead vocalist Oba, for trying to use 'growling' on this song. However, it is not what you might think it is. It's more technical and harsh than the normal 'screaming'. You don't growl when you know your voice does not allow you to growl so well. Employ other vocal skills that suit your vocal chords and will make you sound more natural than artificial.
The band's songwriting suffers not because of terrible lyrics, but from Oba frequently repeating the same choruses over and over again in a single track. It certainly doesn't help that the lyrics sound equally lifeless and redundant. Simply prepare to hear the phrase "To reach the ends of the earth" an alarming number of times and less than insightful phrases like "oh oh oh oh oh".
Over the course of 'Ends of the Earth', the listener will encounter literally nothing of substance or worthwhile when it comes to the vocal department. The opening piano play was a good opening for the song and the introduction of the guitar riff added flavour to that intro, but Oba had to interrupt the already good opening with his supposed growl, that can't even be called growling. The dynamic duo of undeniably mundane vocals and juvenile instrumentation wreaks havoc in a destructive fashion here. It's a sorry experience of a hard rock song, filled with uninteresting guitar riffs and an over emphasis on Oba's vocals. We know growling is not an easy task. However, simply growling on a song does not make it hardcore or Metal. It does not work that way. Oba could have tried screaming, I bet he would've done it better and would have made the song more interesting to the ears of the consumers.
One commendation goes to the use of real instruments; guitars, bass guitar, drums and not some Fruity Loop production. That's what characterizes a rock song, the use of actual instruments. I believe Rock Engrafted can quickly find their footing and go on to prove themselves as one of Nigeria's great rock bands that future rock bands would be making reference to. But they have a lot of work to do in the vocal and lyrical department. With the right guidance, their instrumentation can be very good. The fact is, this track seriously could have been much worse. Despite this realization, that's also like saying that a nuclear holocaust could be worse than mass genocide. With the release of 'Ends of the Earth' Rock Engrafted basically opened Pandora's Box, releasing an unstoppable tide of harsh comments from fans and newcomers alike.
Final Verdict:

John Matarese looks into whether it's worthwhile paying for underground water and sewer line coverage.
Many Cincinnati area homeowners have received letters in the mail offering protection for their underground water, sewer, or electric lines.
They often tell you that a repair could cost you two thousand dollars if you don't have coverage.
But as one couple found out, there are some things they don't tell you up front.
Protection for old pipes
Pat McKendrick lives in an old home with old pipes.
So an offer for protection for his underground water and sewer lines sounded promising.
Pat said "it sounded attractive, especially since we are living in a home built in 1920. We figured we might have some plumbing problems so it sounded good."
And it was just $65 a year. He said "so we signed up for it."
Then, one Saturday a few months later, the main drain out of his house backed up.
Pat immediately called the company's 24 hour emergency hotline. But he told me "when the phone would ring they said the lines were busy, and please stay on the line, then the next message was' we appreciate your business, please stay on the line,' over and over."
So Pat tried again....and again....all weekend long. He said "I did that for 15 minutes to a half hour, and then I tried it again. And then I tried again, and got the same thing."
Frustrated, Pat finally called a local plumber who he said found the clog in about 3 hours.
He ended up footing the $200 bill himself.
Many Exclusions
Several companies offer underground water and sewer protection. But they often have so many exceptions, that many public water departments do not endorse them.
These plans often exclude damage caused by digging, earth movement, or defective pipes. The same exclusions often apply to underground wire protection, if your electric runs underground.
And as Pat learned, if they have a skeletal weekend staff, you might wait till Monday for your call to be answered.
If you are considering underground protection, check the company with the
Better Business Bureau. Some companies have been in trouble with the BBB for making this service appear to be mandatory, or offered by your utility. In most cases it is a private company, with no ties to your utility.
You decide if this is a case of don't waste your money.

Coming out.
Remember when Jodie Foster furtively announced she had something to say when she accepted the Cecil B. DeMille award at the Golden Globes earlier in the year? Couched in terms of a 'coming out' speech, she then told us "I'm Single!" It was totally brilliant, in so many ways.
So, I just wanted to say: "I'm Straight!" Seriously! No, not seriously at all, but for all the dickheads that complained – about so many things – but in particular about how straight people don't announce they're straight the way gays announce they're gay, I just thought I'd throw that out there.
The thing is, I posted this great photo of the awesome Ellen, the Generous one, last week, and there was a landslide of comments. I've never had so many comments on a single post. Heading for 5,000! And that's just on my posting of it. The awesome George Takei posted it on his Facebook page (the sweetie doesn't know how to "share" posters – thanks, George!) and had a similar landslide. [I'll admit to having been a TOTAL dork and writing the wrong Facebook URL on the poster – whoever owns the URL FB/SueFitz must have had a few unusual messages, since my page URL is FB/SueFitz50 – what a noddy!]
I could say I was shocked by a lot of what was said, but to be honest I wasn't really. Although it does always amaze me what people are prepared to write IN PUBLIC that speaks so openly to their prejudice, bigotry, hatred, ignorance, rudeness, and generally thickness and prickery. Myself, I don't stand for that kind of shite on my page, so I just delete it, and in many cases I also banned the person from the page, since I really don't want them around. (Freedom of Speech, my arse; all freedoms and rights come with the responsibility to act like a grown-up.)
The most common 'negative' response was one that came mostly from men (literally hundreds of them), and almost without exception the wording was this: "then stop shoving it [homosexuality] down our throats" – and this went along with comments about "why do gays have to come out" and "stop with the gay pride parades". Of course, it's the usual approach of the bigot to describe everything in terms of "all" and "they", ie. all gays behave in the same way – "they" all come out publicly, "they" all participate in gay parades, "they" all "shove it down our throats".
ANY comment that implies all members of any demographic all behave in a certain way is instantly recognisable as bigotry. All gays do not participate in gay parades. All gays do not come out publicly. And I've never met a gay man or woman yet who "shoved it down my throat" or anyone else's throat that I've noticed.
Why do some gays come out? Because they're bloody amazingly courageously wanting to be themselves, that's why. If you're black you don't need to 'come out' – it's obvious what colour your skin is. Generally we can tell women from men. We can generally see (and many still judge) many different demographics solely by their appearance. Does being black or a woman describe who you are? Well, yes, actually it is a part of who you are. I'm a woman – it's a huge part of who I am. It's not everything that I am, but it's as much a part of who I am as being a mother is a part of who I am. I'm also 50 years old, a New Zealander, and I go to the gym. These are all aspects of my own personal demography. They describe me. Some of them are things that other people make a judgement of, positive or negative. Some of them are visible, others I have to "say" or you wouldn't know. For example, the default position of anyone owning a Facebook page like mine is that they're assumed to be American until they say otherwise. So every now and then I mention it, because I'm actually very proud to be a New Zealander. I think New Zealand is an amazing country – it's beautiful, it's more politically sound and less corrupt than most. We have a great health system and a fabulous education system, and we were nuclear-free long before it was cool. And we have the best rugby team in the world. Who hasn't heard of the All Blacks? What's not to be proud of?
What if being a New Zealander had been a crime for most of history? Or if New Zealanders were treated wholly badly when they were in other countries? What if being a New Zealander meant people looked down their noses at you, or looked the other way, or felt sick to their stomach at the sight of you? Would I proudly assert my nationality then? My oath, I would! I'd be even LOUDER about it! And if I was a public figure – a famous opera singer or actor or sports star or, hey, a comedian! – then I'd know I had a responsibility to represent my country proudly and forthrightly, because I'd know that those who judged me wrongly for my nationality really needed to get their attitudes and judgements sorted. (A bit like when people like to 'correct' my spelling because they don't know their English from their American.)
So the thing is, when homosexuality has been a crime for so long, and when legal marriage between same-sex couples is still not legal in most of the world, and when gays are still picked on, attacked, judged, penalised, prejudiced against in so many ways, then to come out is still an act of bravery. And to be a public figure who comes out is arguably an even greater act of bravery. Ellen Degeneres made a huge name for herself as a stand-up comedian before announcing she was gay (that's a simple fact of media history for those who think she became successful because she's gay), and after coming out publicly, not only was she lambasted through much of the media but she was definitely denied work in many circles for the next several years, and she almost certainly foresaw the likelihood of that occurring. Not surprisingly she is reported to have suffered a major depression from the attacks. I haven't read any of her three books so I have no idea if she's ever regretted the decision to 'come out' (is there another way for a public figure to come out other than publicly?), but I don't imagine so. She's free to be herself, and I do recall reading a comment from her recently that the last four years (her marriage to Portia de Rossi) have been the happiest of her life.
As an aside, I love her line from the 2001 Emmy Awards, hosted less than two months after the 9/11 attack: "What would bug the Taliban more than seeing a gay woman in a suit surrounded by Jews?"
If you don't like Ellen, then you're free to turn off your TV set or change the channel. If you're from a demographic that's not suffered a great deal from prejudice, be grateful. If you're black, gay, a woman, Hispanic, Maori, a dwarf, suffer from a speech impediment, a solo parent, or from any other oft-judged group, well then, you know… That to be OUT AND PROUD a) takes courage, and b) is pretty much a responsibility for any public figure, since one pretty much must stand up for one's demographic if one is able to, at least until true equality arrives.
If you've got a beef with the gay community, get over it. If you truly feel something is being "shoved down your throat", that is so extraordinarily Freudian that I do have to wonder what fears these hundreds of men harbour about their own sexuality, because for sure one doesn't have that reaction when one is secure in one's own sexuality.
And for those apparently thousands of people who feel it's okay to write obscenities on a public post about a celebrity (and especially one who really is quite a beautiful soul), you really need to understand that such words reflect entirely on you and not the person you're aiming it at.
And finally, for the god-botherers and bible-bashers (by which I do NOT mean decent Christians with proper respect for themselves, others and their Faith) who can't help themselves but condemn someone to hell for their "sin", you are so, so far from the Light.

Well done Sue,
I loved every moment of this read and agree with every word.
Those who create an uproar against gaydom are merely fearful of being found out for being curious about it, have tried and never would admit it, or secretly crave it but fear the bigotry themselves.
Yes! Freudian is certainly it… and there is not a psychotherapist that would disagree with your findings. LOL (certainly not this one!)
Good one ya mate, for making a good ol' fashioned stand against the nonsense that people destroy FB moments with.
Much Love,
T. xx
thanks, Tiff xoxo

Thank you, Sue for your heartfelt honesty and not just because I whole-heartedly agree with you either. It is refreshing.
Most of us were raised with "if you can't say anything nice, then don't say anything at all."
We heterosexuals shove our sexuality "others throats" all the time. We are just so used to it that we don't see it. If you can be truly honest with yourself and pay attention to this, you will be surprised.

Well stated with conviction and passion suitable to the subject discussed. There is no place on earth for such vehemence. Everyone is entitled to his or her own conviction as long as it is appropriately expressed. But hurling insults and defamatory statements is not. As you said, it reflects on you as a person, and not in a good way.

HALLEUJAH! One of my very few regrets about leaving Facebook was that I'd never get to see your posts again. I'm now dancing. THANK YOU so very much for righteous words of indignation on behalf of Ellen and the LGBT community in general. I think the Haters will never understand even basic manners that should have been learned before the age of five. All ignorance saddens me. What are we here for but to learn and experience life. What amazing things and interesting people are we missing? Perhaps the most fearful final judgement I can imagine is, "Here is the capacity I gave you for learning to be like me and do the things I do. How do you measure up?" How can you lie at that point?
Lovely to know you're still carrying on out there!

Wow, L.O.V.E.D this!!!!!!!! Soooooooo true! At one point in time, it was against the law for a black person to marry a white person. It is their civil right to marry who they want to now, an in the future I hope our young children can say I remember when 2 women or 2 males could not get married. It is our Civil right to marry who we want too! An your right, no one has a I'm straight coming out party. But for those that bash an ask when did you decide to be gay, I ask, when did you decide to become straight? Thank you for the read. I loved it!
Shawna says : Reply
Sue, your words are always so intelligent and most often filled with love and respect. Even in this post, in which you chide the haters, you do so with care. You are always a pleasure to read. By the time I saw the original post on my FB feed from your page, I had already made a comment on Takei's share. I have put that comment below. It could be added that the people who are always saying that LGBT people should stop making a big deal out of it, always fail to realize that it is the straight oppressors that make the big deal necessary. Give everybody equal rights, let everybody live the same, and the "big deal" goes away. This was my comment on your creation on Takei's page— Here is an experiment for anybody who thinks that it is wrong for an LGBT person to tell people instead of keeping it to themselves. Spend one month of your life not showing public affection for your signifiant other. Do not kiss, hug, or hold hands with your wife, husband, boyfriend, or girlfriend in public. Do not sit at a cafe table and caress the face of the person you love. To not kiss goodbye in the airport. Do not have a happy love filled reunion at the train depot. Do not sit on the same side of the booth when you eat at a diner, or give each other bites from your plate. Do not talk about your spouse at work. Do not talk about your child's other parent while you are at the playground. If you slip up and do any of these things, someone gets to act disgusted and tell you to keep your sex life private. Try it. Spend one month hiding who you are and who you love. —-Thank you Sue for being a light in this world. You inspire. Love and Peace.
Oh wow – what a COOL idea! I think I could make a post out of that, Shawna. Fabulous!

So articulate and well said. I can't agree more with your point about things that people write, reflecting far more on themselves than on others. I simply don't understand how those people don't get that! It's irrelevant whether we're talking about people who are insecure in their sexuality or judgmental hypercritical bible bashers because it's in their writing that THEY come out.

Tbh, Richard, I think it's actually more the responsibility of the straight community now, as it is that of the 'white' community, to stand up for the rights of those who've been oppressed. So you're welcome. The gay community needs a break. xoxo

France, where months of violent opposition to gay marriage, huge protests and incredibly stupid statements from the "anti" is, finally, the last of the few countries allowing it, right behind New Zealand. It has been, here, a political opportunity for right leftists, extremists, integrists, to make a show of sheer hatred, nonsense and gross righteousness. To say the truth, most of the people who either couldn't care less or were in favor of the new law didn't speak out loud..nobody imposed any hate lecture on me, some because they knew better, some because they thought like me..I didn't get involved in any conversation. And I didn't react to your Ellen poster because I find it so uttterly normal to be whatever one wants inside his/her bedroom, to have the same rights as heterosexual partners. So, as usual, I smiled and scrolled.
Now, this post made me feel that, maybe, I was letting much too much room to haters and activists, that, maybe I should speak out loud too, that silent majority should step in,especially about liberal and humanist topics. Thank you for that. Oh by the way..I'm a French, white heterosexual woman, I never had to fight for it but if it suddenly became any less "normal', hell, yes, I would !

Thank you for sharing all that you have. It's sad that it raises fear in so many, for it is only fear that provokes such violent reactions to others who we think are not like ourselves.
Above and beyond the issue it addressed I thought the poster was a really good and humorous reminder of all the levels on which we judge all those around us constantly, from our sexual preferences to the kind of car we drive. It's all conditioning, since we were tiny, and it is very hard to even notice sometimes.
But wouldn't it be a massive step forward for all of us if we could? No more – gosh, isn't she fat – aren't his manners appalling – aren't they stupid – what a ridiculous thing to do – that religion is at fault – etc. And instead just acceptance that everyone has their own path to follow in their own way, and the best we can do is be true to ourselves and follow our own.
I shared it on my page too. I love your writing and will be getting the book. xx

I had a coworker ask me "So how are you and your man getting along?" I replied that my girlfriend and I are doing great. A couple weeks later, that same coworker asked me, "Sooo, exactly what happened? What has some man done to you to make you hate all men?" I just smiled and said that no man has done anything to me and I don't hate men, I just don't date them. Then I asked him the same question. He looked confused, so I asked him, "If you don't date men, then surely you must hate them. What happened?"
What an eye-opening for him. 😉

I was already a considerable fan of Antarcticats' incendiary surf punk, but the infusion of pop-heavy hooks on their new single "Teeth" manages to catapult my esteem for the Atlanta trio even higher. And why wouldn't it? The band maintains the same exhilarating intensity they displayed on their 2015 Short Stories and Irregardless EPs, but they've sharpened all their rough edges into gleaming, lethal barbs and added a high-voltage dose of anthemic verve to boot. In short, the track rips, but rather than overwhelming you with sheer energy, the group wins you over with a mix of old-fashioned heart and infectious songwriting.
If you can keep yourself from dancing or air guitaring (that's a word, right?) long enough, you might also notice that despite it's bony, enamel-coated title, "Teeth" is a love song. More specifically, it's a track that explores the early stages of romance, when pure passion is strong and the world seems full of infinite possibility.
"The song is about meeting someone that you have an instant connection with, blowing off your commitments to be with that person, and taking advantage of that brief window before complacency and comfort set in," says frontman Andrew Joyce.
So, yeah, while there may be some cynicism in the background, it's easy to overlook it when Antarcticats are pelting you with so many razor-sharp runs and sunny sparks. The trio's upcoming first full length may be the true indicator of how far they've come, but "Teeth" shows a band ready to move in big leaps rather than small steps.

The age old problem of losing weight. It is a constant fight for most of us. The few that don't fight it usually aren't genetically gifted, they just have a few habits that others don't! But as we all know some habits come easier than others.
I know how hard it is, I lost 70 lbs. It took me a good long time to do it, but it got done. I'll tell ya what, even though it took longer to accomplish, it was a heck of a lot easier than stopping smoking! I do wish I could go back and do some of my workouts differently, but all in all, I am very happy with how my health turned out! I can chase my kids until they poop out first!
Since then, in the last two years, I have put back on 25 lbs. But very little fat. Ill touch on that in some later posts, but for now… Lets get started losing weight!
First up is a plan.
We are all our own funky chemistry experiments and not every thing will work the same with each individual. But most plans have results that can be duplicated. The hardest part is finding one that not only works for you, but that you can attach yourself enough that you will stick with it.
At the end of the day no plan matters without action. So your plan must be actionable.
I am going to lay out some ground rules and you can take a few, or all of them and add them to your own plan. But don't kid yourself. You will not get results without a plan and that is step one.
Part of making your plan easy on yourself is making it the best choice.
You already know it's the best choice for your health, but that is rarely why we do anything. It needs to be the obvious choice based on availability as well.
One thing I like to do before I actual make meals is have the right stuff. The biggest help in doing that is only buying what you need. It is almost impossible unless you have some superhuman will to walk into a store and not buy extra crap you didn't mean to! I make eating healthy part of my daily life and I still can't! The Doritos, man!
Take advantage of a pick up service. I use the good old Wal-Mart, but Kroger and some other grocers do this too. You place your order online, and go pick it up. It is really that simple.
In addition to only buying what you need you will actually save a bunch of money not wasting it on foods that you don't want to actually eat anyway. Most of that is stuff you wouldn't eat if it wasn't already in the house anyway.
You may not have much to do, or stress eat. There is numerous ways you could eat foods that are in opposition to your goals! Don't bring them in the house! Out of sight, out of mind!
This is counter to most of the advice you get. It seems people recommend that you make small changes. If you want to make small changes in your body that makes sense. I didn't. I wanted big changes, and that requires big changes in your habits.
When you set out to do a thing, do the thing. Don't half do it, telling yourself, "Maybe I'll do the rest later…" Make the changes that you know will get you the results you desire.
When setting out to make new habits, plan and then action them into existence. Do the full plan from day one. Don't make a tweak here and there. If you want to take 10 years to get something accomplished that might be the way to do it. But keeping the habits you are trying to form is much easier when you actually start seeing results. And you wont if you only make small changes.
You know the old adage, Go Big, Or Go Home. Don't go home. Go Big!
Go HERE, and enter the data. It will give you a number based on size, age, and activities. Take that number at eat 500 calories less everyday. A pound is equal to about 3500 calories. Meaning if you do absolutely nothing differently (hopefully you will though), eating 500 calories under the number shown will drop a pound a week off the scales.
That is the starting point for your plan. That number. You absolutely must track you calories. If you don't already have one grab a FitBit (I have the Flex 2, it's small and water proof). The FitBit app will help you track all of the important things that you will need to track in order to meet your goals, including calories. Check out our review for more info and options for buying one.
When you are losing weight and on a calorie deficit, you need the water to keep the fluids moving throughout your body. I'm not going into the science, but it should make sense. Our bodies are close to 3/4 water and it needs it to function properly and help flush the fat and junk you burning off out of your system.
Short version, drink around 2 gallons a day. Especially if you get to working out a lot. Which hopefully you will. FitBit can help with tracking that too.
OK, so people say that breakfast is the most important meal of the day. It kinda is. You make it for your kids everyday, right? They only know what their body tells them, so it comes easy for them to ask for it!
When your body wakes up it is in a catabolic state. It has been eating itself over night while rebuilding and not getting any fuel. Most of the time people would think extending that is a good idea. In this case it is not
Breakfast can fire your metabolism and get your body working properly WITH fuel. You want to to be losing weight, but you want to lose the right weight. When in a catabolic state, your body will feed from whatever it can, and muscle is the most bio available, and profitable, source behind active glucose in your blood (which has been depleted overnight).
When you wake up and do any activity you have no active blood sugars, and your body wants to store fats because you have trained it to do so by going for long periods without eating. Even if you only drink a protein shake because you are late for work, get it in!
If you skip a meal make it lunch, or just eat a snack that follows your macro nutrient needs profile.
So eat breakfast, and I'll tell you how in just a second when we talk about macro nutrient partitioning.
Macro nutrients. I'm going to take you in a different path than what you normally hear, here, as well.
Fats are good.
Yea I said that. Unless your doctor tells you not to eat fats, they need to constitute the bulk of you caloric intake.
But not junk fats, I am talking nuts and nut butters, seeds, meats, omegas, oils (like coconut, olive, and canola), and my jam- eggs. Eggs are one of the best foods you can eat, imo. Full amino profile, no carbs, and after spicing them up, taste good.
Anyway, I mentioned breakfast a moment ago. A typical breakfast for me right now, since I am cutting for summer, would be 3 sausage links, 6-8 eggs, 2 tbps peanut butter, and one of those high fiber wraps.
Typical stance here, get 1 gram of protein (from something other than soy) per pound of body weight. At the very minimum.
If you fall short based on some of the goals set, fill the gap with protein. Shakes are not as good as real food, but they will do in this case. I use ON's Gold Standard Whey and the same brand Casein. You can just use whey for now until you take your training to the next level. Plus having protein everywhere is kind of a pain in the neck… but its worth it. I also drink a shake before and after workouts to refuel.
Alright, since we are getting the right about of protein, and lots of fats from good sources, what has to go…. Carbs.
You still need some carbs, don't get me wrong, but they are your enemy. I recommend keeping carbs at around .5 grams per pound of body weight. Not 5, half of one gram. For me that's around 100 grams per day. The exception here is Fiber. Your body and your muscles need fiber. You need to get 1 gram of fiber from every 7 pounds of body weight. Again for me, that is around 30-35. But those high fiber wraps that I eat at breakfast and dinner contain 13 grams each, so it isn't a hard goal when you buy the right materials to begin with. That's where prepping your shopping list, and only buying what's on that list comes back into play.
Also, carb timing is important. Do not eat carbs before your cardio and workouts. A lot of people like to "carb up", but it is counter intuitive to losing weight. Do not do any workout fasted, but don't do it on carbs. You do suffer in energy in some ways, but you must power through that. Luckily there is pre-workout!!!! I use ON's Gold Standard brand just like the proteins., but most of them are pretty similar from the top brands. This one has creatine in it too. Avoid brands that load up with fillers. You don't need a lot of b vitamins here, you need go go juice!
Anyway, when you "carb up" before a workout, you body gets a spike in blood sugar and since that is the easiest source to burn, it will deplete it before it starts in on your fat. If you are trying to gain weight, this is great, but for those of use who are losing weight, it isn't.
And for the love of all that's holy, don't go near bread. There is nothing on the planet outside of a bag of sugar that will make you softer than bread.
Here are some great cook books for low carb diets, which will help you meet your .5gm / lb goal each day! Also, if you pay attention to our coupon codes page, our book store affiliate, Books-A-Million has frequent discount codes for our readers!
Cheat days are something you need when you are not eating correctly. If you get some carbs, but not too many, you don't need cheat days. That is what we are doing here. We are feeding the body what it wants, but just short of what it is asking for so that it burns the extra that we are carrying.
Cheat days are cop outs. They are a poor excuse to break your new habits. The only time you need cheats is if you are prepping for a competition of some sort, to reignite your metabolism and lipids after having no carbs at all. If you follow the guild lines we have laid out here, you wont need them and they will just set you behind and it will take you three days to make up for that cheat day. In short, don't cheat. Nobody likes a cheater!!!
Don't use the scale, use the mirror. You hear that all the time right? And yea it is true. But we are setting goals and we need to track those goals, so yes get on the scale! Use a calendar and track your progress. You are serious about this and if you have a goal you must track it, otherwise what is the point in having one? If you want to lose 5 inches on your waist, would you never measure your waist?
There will come a time where you drop the scale, but that isn't at the beginning. Track your progress and keep a log.
Sleep is a very important part of the equation that is often over looked. All the work you do during the day, be it in your diet or in the gym, is breaking your body down. You burn the food, you break the muscles.
The rebuilding is done during sleep. The more you get, the more you can rebuild. Now I am not advocating for 12 hours of sleep, but as parents I know that gave you a little tingle! But you do need to get 7-8. Ideally, of course. I understand if you have a newborn that just isn't going to happen, but do the best you can. The FitBit we mentioned will track your sleep and actually tell you how well you are sleeping. I plan in the near future to write a post on how we, as parents, can get more zzz's, but for now just do what you can to make sure that happens.
Turn off the TV, avoid hot showers right before bed, read a book, turn off the electronics (wait finish this post first!). If your partners snoring is the issue, have them try a mouthpiece from Sleep Tight. Could give you some much needed relief!
There are plenty of great things you already know that you can incorporate into your evening to help turn yourself off at night. Build the habit!
This goes without saying. Since hopefully part of your plan is to buy your groceries at one time from a pre made shopping list of only what you need, this shouldn't be an issue. But I know these things are everywhere.
If it comes in a bag and is not a nut or seed only, do not eat it. Just no. Never.
Look I know this one is going to be hard, and probably get me some eye rolls. I am a parent too. My kids come first. They need their lessons, and activities, and all kinds of stuff. ALL. DAY. LONG. I get it. But if you want to keep up with them, and heck, that schedule too, you have to get your body and mind right first. Many days I am at the gym when it opens at 5:30am because that is the only time I can fit it in. Sometimes I go after work. You just have to do what you can, without fail, and without excuse.
You have to make time for you. Even if it is just three times a week, make it to a gym. Find room in the budget to get a decent membership and a club that has daycare if you need it. My club is awesome. It's expensive as all get out, but they have an amazing day care, and pools, pretty much all the things. That makes it much easier when trying to fit it in your schedule. Sometimes you have to pay extra for that convenience.
Now that you saved 100 dollars, or more, a month buy not buying extra junk at the grocers, you can afford a gym. A legit one. There is going to be super fit people in there. Don't let that discourage you. I can promise they are in there working there butt off. They didn't wake up looking like that, and when people try to talk to them they are thinking, "I hope they hurry up, I'm losing my pump!" Nobody in the gym, outside of teenagers who are more or less just talking and hanging out at social club, are paying any attention to those around them.
Either way, you have to go to meet your needs. On the few days where you cant fit it in you can do some work at home with a program like P90X or T25, but please do not make those the body of your workout. They are cardio programs.
To start wrapping up our chat here about getting our weight loss on, here are a few tips on how to workout.
I wont draw you a whole workout plan because we haven't actually trained together, but I can start to paint a picture for you.
The very worst thing you can do is base your workouts around stead state cardio. If you have gone to a gym, or frequented one, now or in the past, you know the people that come in there and get on a treadmill and walk or run it out the whole time. They never make any progress. All you are doing is telling your body, "Hey, I'm gonna do this same thing everyday adapt to it." And your body will do just that, adapt. There is not better adaptation mechanism than the human body.
What you do want to do is actually workout. You want to lift weights. Start with light weight and proper form and postures. Move up in weight as you can based on your abilities and improvements to keep your body challenged. Challenging your body doesn't always mean doing something different, as long as you are making what you are doing harder.
When you do Cardio, you want to get the most out of the fat loss and cardiovascular benefits. You do that by going hard and then taking short rests. I do not care what exercises or machines you do this on. Just go hard, 100%. Take short rests. Do it again, for rounds. Doing this for just 8-10 minutes will burn more fat than running on a treadmill for half an hour, and it will fire your metabolism harder for longer periods after you have stopped working out. Plus it takes less time, which is important for every parent! We have a full plate and I'm sure I'm late for something!
I'm not a motivational speaker. I'm not funny. I make lots of typos. I use the wrong To's apparently too :p (My friend, and librarian, makes fun of me). What you don't have a librarian yet? But I can tell you how to lose a few pounds, if you follow these steps.
If you have any health issues ask a doctor's advice, but if you are otherwise healthy and just let yourself go, take this very moment to make a plan to get it back. You will be a better parent because you will have more energy and feel better about yourself. Nothing can teach our children better than them seeing us do something, and this is a biggie!
They will see that boost of energy, increase in confidence, overall well being, the habits you formed, the money you saved in groceries, and they will want those things too. If they are old enough obviously.
Either way, being a parent is a tough job, and you need a body that is ready to tackle that job and whatever might come up along the way!
Need some sweet gym shirts? Look no further than our own collection. We have several collections listed in the menu at the top of the page, but this one is just for fitness. I designed most of these myself so hold your shoulders back while wearing them! My favorite is the "Perform Better" shirt, and my wife loves the "I'm prettiest when I Sweat Shirt".

Museo Casa De Leon Trotsky Mexico City Reviews
196 reviews
unique museum Mar 20, 2014
Leon Trotsky was a Russian revolutionist who developed his theory of permanent revolution. Joseph Stalin was fearful that Trotsky could take over the power that Stalin had acquired in the Soviet Union so he wished to have Trotsky killed. This made it necessary for Trotsky to get as far away as he could from the Soviet Union. Mexico had finished her revolution and needed intellectuals to further Mexico's economy, thus the political climate under president Lazaro Cardenas was such that Mexico became a haven for revolutionaries from all over the world. With all of the problems in Nazi Germany, and in Russia, refugees from all over Europe began to move to Mexico and to live in Mexico City.
Еhe Trotsky's family residence is converted into a museum commemorating this controversial revolutionary with huge collection of photographs with friends and other celebrities, books, manuscripts, papers, posters and other memorabilia from times of political activity of Leon Trotsky, both from the Soviet Union and the times of exile. The compound of the museum has a house where the family lived, garden with the Trotsky's couple tomb. All this within a small fortress in peaceful neighbourhood of Coyoacán. The study where Trotsky used to work and the desk he used to sit at has been kept intact since his death. On the other side of the office there's a bed he slept on with a bookshelf with his books.
The ashes of Leon Trotsky and his wife, Natalia, are interred in the yard of the Casa de Trotsky. They lie under a tombstone (designed by Mexican painter Juan O'Gorman) and a simple red flag.
The visit to Leon Trotsky's house in Coyoacán has affected me beyond all my expectations.

Track and Wire Fund at Work
A few of our volunteers who helped with the ditching project with a pile of the waste that they needed to haul away and offload by hand.
Spring Trackwork Project
The Track is Finished!
Museum volunteers put in some long hours finishing the spiking, spreading the ballast then setting up and tamping the track in order to have it completed for Members Day in mid May and the school trips later in the month. Still to be done is picking up the old rotted ties and spreading a bit more ballast to completely finish the job.
April 4, 2009
April 2009
The progress at the end of the first day. Forty ties slid under the rails and spiked to gauge.
And here's an example of just what the ties look like after they were puled out.
The old rotted ties wait to be hauled away as the track volunteers use of custom built nipper car to spike a tie to the rails.
Using our custom built tie nipper car, our track crew volunteers were able to load and transport forty ties, slide them under the rails and get them spiked to the rails.
Hey what happened to the ties?!

Franchise moguls hit Park City, Utah to meet the snowy kind and gather for the 4th-annual UnConference hosted by Fishman Public Relations, Fisher Zucker and Hot Dish Media to network and discuss issues facing franchising today. As the sun blazed down on the slopes, the franchise skiers were also reflecting a bright outlook: every franchise president, CEO, founder and chairman predicted growth for their companies in 2012.
Choice Hotels President & CEO Steve Joyce – and IFA 2nd Vice Chairman – said "12" will be a positive year. He said pressure on the construction industry has led to a lack of hotel supply – adding up to a promising outlook for hoteliers for the next four to five years. FOCUS Brands CEO, Roark Capital Managing Director and IFA 1st Vice Chairman Steve Romaniello echoed the optimism, saying that while commodity prices could mean hidden perils for the foodservice industry, financing is easier and customers are coming back. Maybe that's why Roark's Geoff Hill charged up the mountains to face the double-diamond slopes – the most difficult at Park City's Canyons resort – leading a pack that included John Francis of PostNet, Brian Wheelis of Facebook (a first-time UnConferencer) and others. Bonzai!
IFA President & CEO Steve Caldeira said the IFA remains on high alert, given Washington, D.C.'s hostile legislative and regulatory environment. With health care mandates, aggressive union-backed labor regulations, and potential tax reform on the horizon, Caldeira said IFA's renewed Government Relations & Public Policy team will be backed by a potent Political Action Committee. "We will have a $1 million PAC" for the 2012 election cycle, said Caldeira. It's the first time in history IFA will hit this high mark, helped by the $10,000 raised in an UnAuction at the event hosted by IFA's Director of Political Affairs and Grassroots Advocacy Erica Fitzsimmons.
In between slalom runs and snowboarding, "Undercover Boss" stars Joyce, FASTSIGNS CEO Catherine Monson (airing May 4), Budget Blinds CEO and Co-Founder Chad Hallock (airing April 13), Philly Pretzel Factory CEO and Co-Founder Dan Dizio (airing April 27) as well as BrightStar Care CEO and Co-Founder Shelly Sun joined show producer Tom Ham to discuss the rollercoaster ride of being featured on the CBS series in another UnConference UnPanel.
UnConference hosts Lane Fisher of Fisher Zucker, the franchise law firm, Brad Fishman of Fishman Public Relations, and Dawn Kane of Hot Dish Advertising founded the popular event four years ago to bring together industry leaders in a relaxed environment.
This year, the 175 attendees included over 70 franchise executives, 50 CEOs, 16 current or former IFA board members, four past IFA Chairs, two incoming Chairs, a juggler, a moonwalker and a pianist.
"Now, it's your job to find them," said Fisher, swishing off each day to face the snowy moguls with his wife Melissa and a wide range of franchise leaders. "And ski hard."
"I'm excited," said co-founder Fishman, a gold medal-level skier, even while leading the event's late-night socializing. "This started out as an opportunity for us to have fun together and it slowly turned into something that a lot of people can enjoy and also get a lot of knowledge. They can spend time together and connect in a relaxed way. That's why a lot of people like it."

As a published author I need to plot stories quickly and efficiently. The Break into Fiction program not only helps me outline my books before I start writing, but also gives me resources to turn to when I get stuck in the dreaded middle. Finally, I have the tools I need to push through episodes of writer's block. I recommend Break into Fiction for published and unpublished authors who want to write page-turning, character- and conflict-driven stories.
~~ Melinda Leigh, multi-published RS author
I want to thank you for the dedication and quality that you put into this workshop/retreat. As a beginner writer, I really appreciate that you embraced those at my level as well as more experienced writers. After only 2 hours on the first day, my writing colleague and friend thanked me heartily for encouraging her to attend the workshop. I will sing your praises and direct my other writing colleagues to your retreat.
~~ Elaine Gray, pre-published writer
I did, indeed, plot a novel in two days. I didn't really believe that would happen.
~~ Kaye George multi-published Mystery author
I used to think I was good at plotting — but this past (retreat) weekend made me realize I've been guilty of a more complicated version of the 'one damned thing after another' plot. I'm stunned at how well an entire story arc came together in just two days. I'm eager, now, to apply the templates to the books I've been revising for — mm — ever, I think. I suspect I'll discover I've been revising the wrong bits for the wrong reasons all this time.
~~ Marcella Burnard, multi-published Sci-Fi/Fantasy author

text: Anele Ngcongca has been ruled out with a knee injury and will not be part of South Africa's back-to-back Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers against Congo-Brazzaville, coach Shakes Mashaba said in Rustenburg on Tuesday. "We got an email from his club team yesterday informing us that he's injured. We're waiting for them to take him for a scan," Mashaba said. "They'll send us the report, but he's not going to be with us."Ngcongca, who plays for Belgian club KRC Genk, was expected to arrive along with four other overseas-based players late Monday evening, but he was not present at Tuesday morning's training session at the Royal Bafokeng Sports Campus.Thulani Serero, Andile Jali, Tokelo Rantie and Dean Furman had all arrived safely and were in camp, however, they did not take part in the first training session of the day, after only arriving in the early hours of Tuesday morning. Mashaba said the quartet would take part later in the day.Ngcongca, who played a full 90 minutes for Genk in a goalless draw against Anderlecht on Sunday, was the second player to withdraw from the original squad of 26. News of his injury followed the withdrawal on Monday of Ayabulela Magqwaka who suffered a calf strain.Mashaba had said he would not be calling up a replacement for Magqwaka, but with Ngcongca also absent, the coach said he would now be forced to consider a replacement."We're considering [replacements], just to make sure that we don't run short. It's not a train smash, we expected this," Mashaba said."We can't give names until we have notified the clubs."Bafana Bafana depart on Thursday afternoon for Point-Noire, the Republic of Congo's second largest city after its capital Brazzaville. They return to South Africa on Sunday, ahead of next week's return fixture against the Red Devils in Polokwane.-SAPA

Parkview International Pre-School (PIPS) in Tai Tam educates students from one to six years, beginning with Playgroup (accompanied, one to two years). PIPS's head teacher Mary Scarborough joins Kate Davies for a chat about her story and her views on education.
How long have you been in education?
I think it might be 37 years.
What triggered your desire to teach?
I was doing psychology and I thought I was going to be an educational psychologist. I had to train as a teacher and then work for two years in a school and I loved it so much that I never left.
What's your Hong Kong history?
I came here from Bangkok. I worked in London for 15 years and then I went to Bangkok and the idea was to travel really, but at the end of five years there I was ready to leave and I didn't know where to go, so I just applied for a job with ESF in Hong Kong. I was the Early Years coordinator at Glenealy for nine years. The interview day was the first time I'd ever been to Hong Kong.
What was your favourite subject in school?
And most memorable thing a teacher ever said to you?
I remember after I'd given a teacher a job, I said to her, 'The reason I've given it to you is because you're very passionate about teaching young children', and she said that she was very pleased I'd noticed it because nobody else had. That was something really memorable about that particular teacher.
What makes a good teacher?
Passion is what I look for in teachers. I think you've got to have it to work with young children. I can spot them, the ones with true passion. They've got to want to do the best job possible. Whatever that takes. They've got to be able to do research, do their own studying, further their study, and be the sort of person that looks to find a better way to do something all the time.
What's the toughest part of your day?
Often things crop up that you're not expecting to deal with. You might come in and think, 'I'm going to get on with planning the staff meeting today', but something will pop up. It could be a child having an accident, it could be a parent with a problem… suddenly I have to drop everything and do something else I wasn't expecting, but I'm used to it now. All in a day's work.
What are your school's greatest strengths?
I think the way that the curriculum works. The teachers are committed to this way of teaching. The children are enthusiastic, motivated and the teachers capture their enthusiasm. I think that's what happens here and that's really noticeable. People who come here say that.
What are the benefits of students studying and growing up in Hong Kong?
They're exposed to lots of cultures in international schools. They are exposed to different people, views, perspectives. So, this all relates to the IB mission which is that we hope in the future that children will become globally aware. That the world will be peaceful ultimately.
What are your views on homework?
A lot of the homework I have seen is of little value I would say. It has to mean something. We do have some homework, usually something that children need to find out with their parents at home. Something that they are going to be able to bring back to school to share with others. Something that will make the parents part of the learning too. That, rather than copying words which can be a bit of a waste of time.
What are your views on technology?
It's something that you have to work with rather than against. We use it well in this school. Some teachers are very proficient at how they use it. It can be used as a tool for enquiry.
Your views on extra-curricular tuition?
It can be too much, children do need some time when they can choose what they want to do rather than having to go to activities. Children need to make choices about what they are interested in. We run extra curricular activities in both schools. There is a variety of things available here that they might chose to do, but I don't think it should be over used. There is a tendency to overuse it. Children need breathing space, and their own time to develop into people.
Tell us a secret about yourself…
I'm a film buff! Not many people know that, but if people observed my behaviour in Hong Kong they'd notice it.

Talisman CEO: Angostura Gas Project Planning Continues
Pre-development planning continues for the Angostura phase 2 gas development project in Trinidad & Tobago, Canada's Talisman Energy (NYSE: TLM) president and CEO Jim Buckee said in a webcast.
"A heads of agreement has been signed with Trinidad & Tobago's National Gas Company [NGC] to sell gas at initial rates of 220Mf3/d [6.23Mm3/d] starting in 2010," Buckee said.
Negotiations are underway with NGC on the gas sales contract, said Talisman, adding a development well was drilled on Angostura block 2(c) and is being tested.
The Canadian firm holds a 25% non-operating interest in the Angostura development area of offshore block 2(c) and a 36% interest in the block 2(c) Howler assessment area to the south.
In the Caribbean country, Talisman also has interests in offshore block 3(a) and onshore block Eastern.
Talisman's 1Q07 oil and liquids output in Trinidad & Tobago dropped 53% to 5,359b/d from the year-ago period "as production shut-in last November was brought onstream gradually over the quarter, increasing to an average of 6,744b/d during March," the company said.
Revenue in the period from Trinidad & Tobago fell 64.9% to Cdn$20mn (US$18mn).
The company in the first three months of this year spent US$18mn on exploration and US$7mn on development in the Caribbean country.
Talisman previously said it plans this year to invest Cdn$65mn in Trinidad & Tobago to drill up to seven exploration and four development wells.
In Latin America and the Caribbean, Talisman also has interests in Colombia and Peru, where seismic work is underway.
