Opera For All brings Teaching Artists into Chicago Public Elementary Schools to educate students about classical music, singing, and opera. Opera For All allows kids to understand the art by participating in it, both in production and in performance. Each year, students in Opera for All participate in a 30 week program with the end goal of creating their very own unique opera. COT's team of teaching artists pair up and work with each classroom to create the script, lyrics, music, set and costume design, and choreography of the opera. In the spring, students in the OFA program perform their opera for their parents and peers.

Killer weeds
By PAM GOLDEN
When one door closes, another one opens.
Most people figure that's an optimistic way of looking at life. People say it to someone who has been kicked down to help them get back up. The ones getting up repeat it to themselves.
Problem is, the flip side of that is Ian Malcolm telling the foolish folks in "Jurassic Park" that "life finds a way."
In his case, he's talking about dinosaurs. In agriculture, the term "opportunistic weed" suddenly is relevant. It's just a coincidence that one of the ALS herbicides is named "Raptor."
This isn't news: A weed will find a way to live.
Key Points
• Manage herbicides to avoid cross-resistance.
• Write down a long-term herbicide management plan.
• Consider tillage or "extreme" cover crops.
"What would Charles Darwin have thought about herbicides being applied on weeds?" asks Steve Powles, director of the Western Australia Pesticide Resistance Initiative. "He would have said, 'Nature will win.' "
In a Macon County, Ga., field in 2004, a Palmer amaranth found a way to live by resisting glyphosate.
In that same county — and in counties across a couple of states — Palmer pigweed now also resists ALS herbicides, such as Staple and Envoke.
All told, the International Survey of Herbicide Resistant Weeds now lists 346 resistant biotypes, 195 species, in more than 330,000 fields.
Read that again.
So now, even though everyone who grows row crops is a candidate for post-traumatic stress disorder from the war on pigweed, another front is open, and the soldiers must roll to protect their flank. The new fronts are: several different resistant weeds in one field and weeds that are resistant to more than one chemistry.
Though the focus in much of the Southeast is on glyphosate-resistant Palmer amaranth, 16 other weeds also are resistant to glyphosate.
University of Tennessee Extension weed scientist Larry Steckel spends most of his days focused on marestail, also called horseweed.
"It is the most widespread glyphosate-resistant weed," Steckel points out. Resistant marestail started in Tennessee in 2001 and went from bad to worse in 2003. Now a weed that once was controlled at burndown, and emerged no later than June, shows up in a field at all times during a summer crop.
And some marestail is glyphosate- and ALS-resistant.
ALS-resistant weeds also are rampant. Cross-resistance is growing, and weed scientists fear resistance to PPOs is coming soon.
"In a four-year rotation we could spray 16 PPOs," says University of Georgia Extension weed scientist Eric Prostko. "We're overusing the PPOs."
Survival, however, is possible for growers who plan their battle.
Write down a battle plan
The first step, Prostko says, is to write down a resistance management plan that covers the entire crop rotation. If the rotation is peanut, corn, cotton and cotton, then the plan should cover four years. As the plan is followed, notations should be made regarding exactly what was used and when.
While scientists throw around terms like "mode of action" and sometimes say "protoporphyrinogen oxidase" instead of PPO, all a grower has to know is which number is on the bag. Regardless of the company or the active ingredient, all commercially available chemicals have a number on the bag that identifies the mode of action. Growers don't have to know that a 2 is an ALS inhibitor; they just need to make sure they don't follow a 2 with another 2.
When applying chemicals, Powles says, use high rates.
"We should use herbicides at high rates infrequently," he says. "Be very scared of this resistance mechanism [in plants]. ... We have plants that are resistant to herbicides that have not yet been discovered."
In addition to rotating crops and chemicals, growers also must decide whether to use tillage or "extreme" cover crops, which means growing a cover such as rye to 6 or 7 feet tall, killing it in spring and stripping the summer crop into heavy residue. Both accomplish what's needed to destroy Palmer pigweed seeds: Bury them 4 inches deep.
"We don't do what we've always done: Just spray herbicides," says University of Georgia Extension weed scientist Stanley Culpepper. "We're using an integrated approach to battle a pest that is 'whupping' us."
One of the most effective tools against herbicide-resistant weeds is tillage. Steckel remembers losing most of the no-till acres in his area in 2005-06. Using Dicamba, however, growers now are holding on to the financially and environmentally preferred no-till and reduced-tillage practices.
"The key is to get [resistant horseweed] before it gets to Coke can size," Steckel says.
Using the size of the weed to determine when to spray is essential to control, notes Bayer CropScience technical representative Keith Rucker.
When making a herbicide application, calibrate the equipment and check all the nozzles.
"It's all about the system," Culpepper says. "It isn't any one thing that we do."

How do you control resistant weeds in your fields?
The days when Roundup at burndown, Roundup in the planter and Roundup over the top as a complete herbicide program are gone. Growers now are using integrated approaches to kill weeds, especially in those areas where resistant weeds complicate management, curb yield and create havoc at harvest.
Tillage and residual
Waynesboro, Ga., grower Henry Hopkins III tried Prefix on his soybeans in 2009 and saw near-perfect control of Palmer amaranth. He tank-mixed Gramoxone with Prefix and applied Prowl at plant. Hopkins conventionally tills most of his fields because he has a broad range of soil types. He also subsoiled and bedded some soybeans, a departure from his usual practice of drilling beans.
"I think they came off better," Hopkins says. "It cost more and the no-till drill is easier, but I think the subsoiler worked better."
Flex the Reflex
Helena Chemical Co's. Waynseboro, Ga., facility manager discovered the value of Reflex; renewed his faith in Cadre, Valor and atrazine; and sometimes was forced into a salvage treatment using Harmony SG.
George Tedder figures about half of the 70,000 acres his facility treats are infested with glyphosate- and/or ALS-resistant weeds. He recommends a pint of Reflex at plant in cotton and soybeans. The label allows up to 1.5 pints.
What growers need to be prepared for as they go back to older chemistries and tougher new compounds is crop burn.
"With this pigweed, you can stand a lot more burn than we used to tolerate," Tedder says.
Tedder also recommends a fall burndown, particularly behind corn. Atrazine, Tedder says, takes out pigweed during the season, but weeds spring up after harvest.
"You harvest the corn in August, and pigweeds come up as thick as hair on a cat's back," he says.
Georgia growers spent $11.4 million hand-weeding Palmer amaranth on 799,000 acres in 52 counties, reports University of Georgia Extension weed scientist Stanley Culpepper. The average cost was $26 an acre, with some paying as little as $3 and others as much as $100.
The growers hand-weeded to deplete the seed bank in their fields. It's aggressive. It's expensive.
Culpepper believes the practice will pay off. "If we're aggressive for three to four years, I think we can turn the tide on this pest."
Expert: Resist gov't regulation
Louisiana crop consultant Blaine Viator gave Syngenta weed resistance strategies manager Chuck Foresman a new middle name during a weed resistance conference in February: "Toll Ya So"
Viator says colleges once taught that glyphosate resistance wasn't possible. Foresman was the first person Viator heard say it was — and he said it in 2004.
If that gives Foresman oracle status, then those listening at the Syngenta Southern Field Crops Consultants meeting need to act on his message in Miami.
"If we don't jump on top of this — if we don't jump on diversity — there's some folks in Washington who want to jump in and help us," Foresman said.
The reason government is interested is the same reason Foresman "despises" weed resistance.
"It takes food and clothing off people's backs," he said.
Syngenta figures by 2013, the U.S. will have 38 million acres infested with resistant weeds. That's a 43% increase per year.
Foresman isn't concerned only about glyphosate.
"Most growers do believe there's going to be new technologies to fix the problem," he said.
He thinks so, too. But those also must be used carefully.
"Science is going to prevail," Foresman said. Resistance management, he said, "is about sustaining these excellent technologies we have."
Stop it or grow it
Some might call a list of things to do to stop weed resistance and things to avoid a list of "Dos and Don'ts." The issue here, however, is whether to let those weeds grow or stop them. So here's a list of "Stop Its and Grow Its." This list is compiled from interviews and presentations in the Southeast this winter, starting at the Beltwide Cotton Conferences and continuing through the Syngenta Southern Consultants Conference and the Bayer CropScience Southeast Technical Conference.
Stop it
Write down a weed resistance plan for an entire rotation — preferably three to four years.
Use full labeled rates. Many believe using reduced rates of glyphosate contributed to creating resistant weeds.
Make timely applications. Since timely post-emerge applications are not always possible, a preemerge application is a must.
Rotate crops.
Rotate herbicides. Herbicide packages have a number on them to indicate the mode of action. Don't follow a 6 with another 6. Don't use the same number over and over again in a year — whether it's the same crop or the next one.
Pay attention to changes in weed response to herbicide applications.
Calibrate equipment.
Check, check and triple-check nozzles.
Grow it
Base a weed management program on the neighbor's plans.
Wait for a company to come out with "the next glyphosate."
Underestimate a weed's resilience.
NOTHING LESS: When a herbicide achieves 90% control, weed scientists call that "excellent." "That's not enough with Palmer pigweed," says Auburn University weed scientist Mike Patterson. "You've got to have 100% control." Patterson suggests a three-year program that includes using a moldboard plow in the fall followed by heavy cover in the first year and then heavy cover the next two years.

When the Tampa Bay Devil Rays took Upton second, the Orioles reacted quickly at their Camden Yards headquarters and took British Columbia left-handed pitcher Adam Loewen with the fourth pick in Tuesday's First-Year Player Draft.
Loewen, 18, is the first of two Canadians -- along with Jeff Francis -- taken in the first round. The Rockies selected Francis. And although the Orioles were disappointed that Upton was gone, they were pleased to get a potentially talented left-hander.
"I don't think it's any secret that we wanted Upton in the worst way," scouting director Tony DeMacio said. "We wanted a position player we thought who could be an impact guy. [But] we feel like Adam Loewen has a chance to be a No. 1 or 2 starter in the big leagues. We just didn't feel like we could pass on that type of impact pitcher."
Loewen, 6 feet 6 and 220 pounds, throws in the low 90-mph range. He did not play high school baseball because Fraser Valley Christian High School did not field a team. The Orioles scouted him playing for the Whaley Premier League, considered an equivalent to the Babe Ruth or American Legion programs in the United States.
"Actually I felt I was going to go to Baltimore," Loewen told MLB.com from his Surrey, British Columbia, home. "They were at all my games. It's a great organization. Right now, it's an unbelievable feeling."
Though Canadians have occupied Major League rosters before, Loewen is the highest-drafted Canadian in history since Canadian players became available to pick in 1985. Loewen is considered perhaps the best pitcher ever to originate from north of the border.
"With all of the great players to come out of Canada, I can't put into words what it feels like to be told that," Loewen said. "My goal is to be with the [Major League club] in two years. I think I can do it. There is a shortage of left-handed pitchers in the big leagues."
Loewen is the second Canadian recently selected by Baltimore. Left-handed pitcher Erik Bedard from Naum, Ontario, was taken in the sixth round in the 1999 draft and made his Major League debut earlier this season.
Bedard is now pitching for Double-A Bowie. Although Bedard is a finesse pitcher, DeMacio made it clear that Loewen is different.
"The young man is bigger and more physical and is just 18," DeMacio said. "He has a good breaking ball for a young left-hander, and he touched 95 [mph] again [Monday]. He will throw low- to mid-90s. He's a strikeout pitcher and has nice, easy delivery."
Loewen has some impressive accomplishments for a pitcher who has yet to graduate high school. He played for Team Canada's national junior team the past three years. Two years ago, he beat eventual World Junior League champion Korea and was named team MVP. In 2001, he tossed a no-hitter against the Pittsburgh Pirates' Dominican summer league squad, striking out 16. He went 5-1 with a 0.16 ERA this season.
"The majority of high schools played in the states aren't different from Canada," DeMacio said. "He faced great worldwide competition. I took a nice long trip to Vancouver and then a ferry to Victoria Island to see him."
Loewen led Surrey to the 1996 Little League World Series and has signed a letter of intent to play at Arizona State. He is expected to sign with the Orioles.
He is the highest selection for Baltimore since 1992, when it chose Stanford outfielder Jeffrey Hammonds with the fourth pick.
DeMacio said Loewen could be headed to the Orioles' new short-season Single-A team in Aberdeen Md., owned by former Oriole Cal Ripken. He also could begin his pro career with Bluefield, the team's Rookie League affiliate.
"[Aberdeen] would be a great play to play," Loewen said. "Especially since it's owned by Cal Ripken."

It is one of the conundrums of politics. As much as people complain about Congress, most senators and representatives get re-elected, year after year.
This year Congress' approval rating in the polls is bouncing down around 10-20 percent. And yet, if this election is like most in the past, voters will send about 80 percent of the incumbents back for another term.
We have long opined that most voters think most congressmen from other districts are numbskulls, but they don't mind the one from their own district. Heck, the local guy may look good by comparison.
It's like government earmarks. When they go to some other state, it's pork, but when it comes here, our congressman is bringing home the bacon. Their special project is silly and wasteful, but ours is essential.
It would be interesting some time to shuffle up the congressional districts, to make senators and representatives run for re-election in someone else's state. That might result in some massive turnover on Capitol Hill.

ALFRED — A hearing in the Kennebunk prostitution case to decide whether the highly-anticipated trial of Mark Strong Sr. will happen now or in months to come is now underway in York County Superior Court. It began at 8:40 a.m.
Mark Strong Sr. faces 12 counts of promotion of prostitution and one count of conspiracy to promote prostitution.
Defense attorney Dan Lilley, left, and his client, Mark Strong Sr., speak to the media outside Cumberland County Court following a hearing on Jan. 18, 2013.
John Ewing / Staff Photographer
Strong's trial, the first since the prostitution scandal broke last year and quickly gained international attention, stalled out last week after the presiding judge took up a defense motion midway through the jury selection process and dismissed 46 of the 59 counts against Strong.
Prosecutors immediately filed an appeal of Justice Nancy Mills' dismissal of the charges, potentially delaying the start of the trial until the appeal can be decided.
Tuesday morning's hearing is on another motion by Strong's attorney, Daniel Lilley, to split the case in two parts, the dismissed 46 counts under appeal and the remaining 13 pending counts. Lilley wants the trial to go ahead on the 13 pending counts.
Potential jurors in the case are under orders to call a jury hotline after 9:45 a.m. to find out when to report to court for jury selection to continue.
Strong, 57, of Thomaston, is accused of conspiring with Alexis Wright to run a one-woman prostitution business from her Zumba studio in Kennebunk, and of helping to make video recordings of her activities with customers.
The 46 dismissed counts against Strong were all charges of violation of privacy and conspiracy to violate the privacy of Wright's prostitution customers for recording their encounters with Wright in her Zumba studio.
The case has drawn attention in part because Wright is suspected of keeping a meticulous list of more than 150 names of customers, including prominent figures. Sixty-six have been charged so far, and 18 have pleaded guilty to engaging a prostitute.
In dismissing the violation of privacy charges, Mills agreed with Lilley, who argued that people engaged in a criminal act cannot have an expectation of privacy. She ruled that the patrons who were committing a crime by paying for sex "may have had a subjective expectation of privacy, but I can't find an objective expectation of privacy that society would be willing to expect."
Wright, 30, of Wells, is scheduled to stand trial on 106 counts against her in May. She has pleaded not guilty to all counts, including promotion of prostitution, engaging in prostitution, violation of privacy, conspiracy, tax offenses and receiving welfare benefits when ineligible.
She faces 46 counts of violation of privacy, the same number as Strong did before Mills dismissed them. Wright's attorney, Sarah Churchill, said Friday that she likely would have asked the judge to dismiss those charges against her client as well.
The lead prosecutor, York County Deputy District Attorney Justina McGettigan, requested a recess after the judge's ruling and obtained permission for the state Attorney General's Office to file an appeal.
McGettigan argued that Mills' dismissal of the 46 counts poses a "serious impairment" to the prosecution of the case, giving legal grounds for the appeal.
The case was suspended until the Maine Supreme Judicial Court ruled.
Until the high court's decision, signed by Chief Justice Leigh Saufley on behalf of the full court, the fate of the trial had been unclear. Her order puts the fate of the trial back in Mills' hands, to decide how to go forward.
The judge had been conducting individual juror questioning, called voir dire, behind closed doors for three days last week before the state's Supreme Judicial Court ordered the process stopped in response to an appeal filed by the Portland Press Herald challenging the judge's move.
In a 6-1 decision, the state's highest court ordered that voir dire must continue in open court.

Post subject: Sleeveless ladies' tunic
Today I've started my new tunic set. A con is coming up and quite frankly, I'm sick of wearing the same old tunic, so I'm making one in more of a Ki-Adi Mundi / Sarissa Jeng style tunic style. If it's only approvable as informal, so be it. It's for summer and we don't get many LFL events out here
Here's the body of the undertunic. I chose a very lightweight linen and am not lining it. The skirt will be 1.5" or so shorter than this. I plan to do a standard scrunched-up sleeve style with this, and if I have/can get enough of this fabric I plan to make a matching obi. The sleeveless, hooded outer tunic will be in a more earthy brown color.

Love it! It looks nicely fitted and really comfortable.
I hear ya on sick of the same old tunic... I love mine but I'm thinking of making another style as well. Something along the lines of Jedi Master Fay from the Republic comic. I like her long skirt.

Very nice. I know how you feel. I have a generic Jedi tunic and am working on an Anakin costume (and having been growing my hair for 6 months to match...haha). With that said, I think after the Anakin costume I want to do something completely custom and unique that still looks Jedi. One of the things I have been toying with is a sleeveless outfit. Again...it would be informal but I like that idea...especially for the summer time events.
It will probably be a New Republic look. My biggest thing is I want it to look really good and have more details and look top notch. I know nothing about sewing but I am sure once I come up with a final idea...I can look around for someone that can help pull it off.
Again...great start so far. Can't wait to see the final look. I love seeing new costumes but especially those that are unique and not in the standard issue Jedi outfit. Thus my reason for wanting something unique for myself...haha.
Do or do not...there is no try.

Been finished for awhile but finally got pictures
Not sure if it's approvable with the style, but oh well. Just made it for hot events anyways.
Tried to make the hood so it had this interesting effect on the shoulders when the hood is down.

The Art Historian:
National Traditions and
Institutional Practices
May 3–4, 2002
This Clark Conference, convened by Michael Zimmerman, explored the formation and professionalization of the art historian within different national traditions and historical settings. Despite its origin in European models, the practice of art history in the United States has evolved into protocols distinct from those of, for example, Germany, France, England, and the Netherlands. How might we characterize these disciplinary geographies, in theory and practice, in the past and in the present? What is the function of higher education in different national contexts? For what roles in culture are art historians being prepared? To what extent does professionalization encourage or delimit critical innovation? How much, and what, can we still learn from each other's disciplinary practices?
Participants included:
Mieke Bal, Universiteit van Amsterdam, Netherlands; Stephen Bann, University of Bristol, UK; Frederick Bohrer, Hood College; Horst Bredekamp, Humboldt-Universität, Berlin, Germany; Whitney Chadwick, San Francisco State University; H. Perry Chapman, University of Delaware; Georges Didi-Huberman, Centre d'histoire et de théorie des arts, Paris, France; Eric Fernie, Courtauld Institute of Art, London, UK; Françoise Forster-Hahn, University of California, Riverside; Carlo Ginzburg, University of California, Los Angeles; Mark Ledbury, University of Manchester, UK; Deborah Marrow, Getty Grant Program; Karen Michels, Universität Hamburg, Germany; Vivian Rehberg, Musée d'art moderne de la ville de Paris, France; Alain Schnapp, Institut national d'histoire de l'art, Paris, France; Michael F.

I'm so confused. I've just crossed the half-way point and I have seen no results. Acutally, I stepped on my health-meter today and saw a gain of two lbs AND a gain of 2.6% body fat since I started. I just don't understand. Today I put all my food into a calorie/nutrition counter, and after exercise, my calorie count is around 1600. According to the site, in order to maintain weight, I should be eating around 2200. Obviously, maintaining is not my goal. So I would think 1600 is good. But I'm not getting any results. I don't know what else to do.
I will confess that I've only been able to eat 5 meals a day w/the appropriate amount of time in between. I've been doing my workouts after a 3 hr fast in the evenings. I'm going to start tomorrow to do them in the morning, but according to the BFL book it shouldn't matter. I have missed a few workouts, so on average I would say I consistently work out-alternating cardio and strength-5 days week. I will do a better job of making it 6. But I have added so much protein to my diet compared to before. And my exercise is much more consistent. Why is nothing happening? And even more so, why is my body fat going up?!
Someone please help. I keep reading how people see results in the first few weeks, others not until then end. But I feel like I'm working so hard and eating healthier than i've ever been, and I have no gain. I say again in this post, I'm not a quitter, but it is so frustrating to be putting in this much effort and getting nothing out of it. Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong, please?
You admit to what you are doing wrong in the second paragraph. Eating only 5 meals per day and missing workouts. It matters.
Commit yourself to finishing the remainder of your challenge properly. Also how are you handling your free days?
If your health meter is bio-impedence feedback your results could vary from day to day.
How are your clothes fitting and how are your measurements?

Michelle Simpson ~2009 Body-for-LIFE Champion 46+ Catagory
I agree with Champster. Tighten up and press on. Nothing worth doing is worth doing halfway. You have absolutely nothing to lose by completing your 12 weeks. I wondered at 6 weeks also because my results weren't as much as I wanted but I too was only getting in 5 meals some days. I get in 6 meals and 6 workouts almost all the time now. I wasn't feeling that great, but the proof is in my pictures. Check out my profile. I'm really disappointed to still be wearing a size 12, but at least I'm down from a 14. I intend to press on. My size 10 jeans are my motivation. What is yours?
The only real obstacles in life are those you place in front of yourself. There is always an alternative or another way around, even if that alternative is just looking at the obstacles in a positive light!
Ok, If you are eating 5 meals, you are fine. Emily Alvers ate 5 and she looks fantastic. From a calorie standpoint 1600 cals is definitely on the high end for fat loss for a woman. I however don't like teaching calories, it because a mind game that no one likes.
Here is my advice.
Eat 5 meals IF it works better in your schedule. If 6 works better, then do that. Now get your 6 workouts in, just do it. Now for your carbs, keep em to a 1/2c portion. Rice, oats, beans, etc. This should put you in a solid deficit where you see results sooner. If not, then just reduce your carb portion down to a 1/3c.
I think you should start out with 1/2c measured portion first.
Now, for your free day I would also say that 1. you don't have to take a free day, BUT 2. If/when you do try to limit it to a free meal. Eat what you want in the free meal, but limit it to a meal. A big free day can undo any progress from earlier in the week.
I urge you to take my advice, and give it a couple weeks. Women's bodies react a bit different than men, but I am willing to bet you will see results this way.
A little background on me. I did BFL started out @ 335 lbs/52% bf and in 18 months of adhering to the same advice above, I cut down to 208 lbs/16% bf.
You can do it.
Now get to it.
Six weeks isn't very long.. I think you're expecting too much of yourself. Keep going and I bet by the end of week 12, you'll be so glad you did!
Great advice so far and I'll just add that I REALLY hope that you don't give up!!! So PLEASE don't give up!!! One thing to remember is that we are ALL very different and will react in different ways so your miracle could be just around the corner...and I would stop using the bio meter and judge your success by how you feel, look and other ways.
Stick with it...go the next 6 weeks ALL out, bring up your intensity and give it your all AND then start another challenge...YOU'LL do GREAT!!!
All the best!
Yeah 6 weeks isn't very long, but if she is gaining weight, then something needs to be changed.
There are only a couple of explanations, none of which have anything to do with the number of meals you eat each day:
1) It is possible you have really been eating 1600 calories, and you've gained (muscle+water) to go 2 lbs above your starting weight.
2) It is also possible that the portion sizes you used to estimate your caloric intake do not match with what you're really taking in. Weigh and/or measure carefully, and read all the nutrition labels carefully - the manufacturers sometimes state things in tricky terms (i.e. 100 cal per serving. Serving size: 2 oz. Somewhere else you'll find the Pkg size is 6.0 oz., or 3 servings!)
3) You must do the six workouts a week, or it isn't BFL. You must also eat six times a day, or it isn't the BFL program.
4) The 1st Law of Thermodynamics (conservation of energy) is even more fundamental than BFL or any other health and fitness program. It does not matter whether you take in the 1600 calories in 3,4,5,6,7, or any other number of meals. What matters is whether there are excess calories taken in, or a calorie deficit (as compared to the calories burned), since these will be converted to fat by your body, or made up for by taking fat out of reserves. That said, eating six times a day definitely helps to make the whole thing more tolerable, since the blood sugar levels will be more even throughout the waking hours.
My workouts are done starting sometime between 9 and 10 pm, and ending around 10 - 11 pm. Regardless of what time of day you exercise, the number of calories burned will be the same. It is slightly better from a fat burning perspective to do it in the morning before breakfast, forcing your body to draw off the fat reserves.
You definitely need to re-assess the situation and change whatever is out of whack...
Once I discovered the joys of weight training, all other passions were transcended.
Measure your success on how you feel, not on weight or numbers. I didn't see much change until the end of my first challenge. I weighed 187 at the beginning and 187 at the end. I did however feel better and was able to do more at my physical job shortly into challenge 1.
If it's really difficult right now, then you're on the right path. Earning your better body is more important than having one. It will change your life for the better in so many ways...
I have to seriously disagree with Brian here. You are going to feel better when you are lean. And who wants to put in all that hard work without results?
You need to track results. If you want to lose body fat, success will be determined by how much body fat you lose.
But all this is pretty rediculous. Read what I wrote you. I feel it is the most simple method to success. Dont worry about grams of carbs, fats, proteins. Dont worry about calories. In fact, dont worry about anything.
Just follow BFL. What is posted in the original book is all you need. The rest is just excess and a distraction.
Lean is definitely better, you feel better, and it's a more manageable state for the long term. If you get bulky, in the future you may run into a period of time you can't work out 6 days a week, or as intensely. When that happens, the food intake will have to be drastically altered, or the body will lose muscle and replace it with fat. I still think it's worth a quick sanity check on actual calories consumed since weight loss isn't there. I agree also that complicating things with counts of protein, carbs, fats, sugar alcohols, etc.... is just way overboard. Besides, I've seen at least 5 different recommendations in the last week as to the recommended amounts of protein, and they vary by about a factor of three!
Don't forget that muscle weighs more than fat so you can get leaner and not see a loss in pounds. I believe you misunderstood my comment. I was referring to what Bill said in his 'body of work' movie when he was discussing the potential of advances that would make it possible to gain the perfect body without having to work hard for it. As he said, and I agree strongly from my experience, most of what is gained is through the process of all the hard work and determination.
I never said you wouldn't get the better body in the end, just that the more important part is the process of getting there.
Brian, muscle does not weigh more than fat. 1 lb of muscle weighs the same as 1 lb of fat. However the lb of fat will take up much more space. Muscle is more dense. Most analogies refer to a lb of muscle to equal the size of a baseball, lb of fat the size of a grapefruit.
Muscle takes up 1/3 less space than fat;
Eating 6 meals per day versus 5 does matter;
The grams rule does work and for me personally, better, but the palm / fist will absolutely get you success so stick with the simplest method that works;
Never give up on yourself.

Bailey v. United States - Post-Decision SCOTUScast - MP3
Running Time: 00:10:21
On February 19, 2013 the Supreme Court announced its decision in Bailey v. United States. The question in this case was whether, under the Court's 1981 decision in Michigan v. Summers, police officers may detain an individual incident to the execution of a search warrant when the individual has left the immediate vicinity of the premises before execution of the warrant.
In an opinion delivered by Justice Kennedy, the Court held by a vote of 6-3 that the detention permitted under Summers is confined to the immediate vicinity of the premises to be searched under the warrant. The defendant in this case, the Court determined, was detained outside the immediate vicinity of the premises--and his detention thus could not be justified under Summers. The Court therefore reversed the decision of the court of appeals, but remanded the case for consideration of whether, independent of Summers, the defendant's detention was justified under the "reasonable suspicion" standard set forth in Terry v. Ohio.
Chief Justice Roberts and Justices Scalia, Ginsburg, Sotomayor and Kagan joined Justice Kennedy's majority opinion. Justice Scalia filed a concurring opinion, which was joined by Justices Ginsburg and Kagan. Justice Breyer filed a dissenting opinion, which was joined by Justices Thomas and Alito.
To discuss the case, we have Stephen Henderson, who is a Professor of Law at the University of Oklahoma College of Law.

GARNER — Delay was the name of the game at the Oct. 22 council meeting, with a growth task force presentation, purchase of a house on Main Street, and discussion of insurance broker selection pushed back in one form or another.
The Town Council resolved to change the timing of the Parks and Recreation fee at its regular Oct. 22 meeting, pushing it back in the building process. Action on that resolution, and on other changes discussed by the Growth Strategies Task Force, will be pushed back a month.
The change has been one of the issues discussed in the series of meetings with local developers, business owners and town leaders. It met several times in the past two-plus months to provide a dialogue between town and the developing community and to ensure Garners continued growth.
The group had planned to present findings to the Town Council at the Oct. 31 work session. Town Manager Hardin Watkins said that would probably not happen until late November.
Developers want the Parks and Recreation fee on each house paid when each unit is built, rather than as a lump-sum up-front cost on the entire project. That would help cash flow for developers who face large up-front costs when building new neighborhoods. Garner officials have expressed amenability to that idea.
Town Manager Hardin Watkins said the staff intends to draw up new Parks and Rec fee schedules as well as water and sewer policies. Then staff will meet with private-sector contributors to see whether the new ideas address the previously discussed concerns before the staff goes to the council for possible action.
• The agenda had included council authorization to purchase a house as part of downtown plans, but it was removed as the seller pulled back the day of the council meeting.
Bertron Haywood had agreed in principle to sell the property at 207 Main St. for $115,000. He withdrew the offer, according to Garner Revitalization Association Executive Director John Hodges.
Hodges said he did not know exactly why the seller balked, and Haywood did not respond to voicemails requesting comment.
The seller decided at the last minute that they were going to withdraw the offer that was on the table, Hodges said.
Hodges noted that the property does not sit on land intended for the planned recreation center on that block, so it would not delay that bond-funded project. It sits in the footprint of a proposed new Southeast Regional Library next to the three-gym recreation center, one that would have to be built by the county.
• Town staff met with some of the elected officials and intends to meet with others regarding the conflict over the staffs choice for an insurance broker.
There was agreement to delay the item until Nov. 19, Watkins said at the council meeting.
Staff had chosen Hill, Chesson & Woody to handle insurance negotiations with Blue Cross Blue Shield. Council wanted a closer look at provider Jones Insurance, which placed a bid that was more expensive. Several council members advocated using local providers where possible.
The town has used Jones Insurance in the past before switching to current brokerage Independent Benefits Advisers.
• Garners town council passed a resolution on 540. Not that the councils opposition on the Red Route remained unknown, but council members decided to make offficial their opposition to the proposed option for the new highway, which will connect Holly Springs and Knightdale, after passing around Garner.
The resolution puts the council on record as supporting the original Orange Route from Apex to I-40. The council has not taken a position on planning the section of 540 from I-40 to Knightdale.
