Chaka Khan (born Yvette Marie Stevens on March 23, 1953) is an American singer-songwriter whose career has spanned four decades, beginning in the 1970s as the frontwoman and focal point of the funk band Rufus. Often cited as the Queen of Funk, Khan has won ten Grammys and has sold an estimated 200 million records worldwide [1]
1953–72: Early life[edit]
Chaka Khan was born Yvette Marie Stevens in Chicago, Illinois. Raised in Chicago's rough South Side housing projects, she is the eldest of five children to Charles Stevens and Sandra Coleman. Her sister Yvonne Stevens later became a successful musician in her own right under the name Taka Boom. Her only brother, Mark Stevens, who formed the funk group Aurra, also became a successful musician. She has two other sisters, Zaheva Stevens and Tammy McCrary, who is her current manager.[2] Unlike many of her musical contemporaries, Chaka Khan was raised as a Catholic. Khan attributed her love of music to her grandmother, who introduced her to jazz music as a child. Chaka Khan became a fan of R&B music as a preteen and at eleven formed her first all-female singing group the Crystalettes, which also included her sister Taka. In the late 1960s, Chaka Khan and her sister formed the vocal group Shades of Black and joined the Black Panther Party after befriending fellow member, activist and Chicago native Fred Hampton in 1967.[3] While a member, she was given a name change to Chaka Adunne Aduffe Hodarhi Karifi by an African shaman. In 1969, she left the Panthers, dropped out of high school, having attended Calumet High School and Kenwood High School (now Kenwood Academy),[4] and began to perform in small groups around the Chicago area, first performing with the group Lyfe, which included her then boyfriend Hassan Khan, whom she'd later marry. Chaka Khan was asked to replace the late Baby Huey of Baby Huey & the Babysitters after Huey's untimely death, in 1970. The group disbanded a year later. While performing in local bands in 1972, Chaka Khan was spotted by two members of a new group called Rufus and soon won her position in the group. The group later signed with ABC Records in 1973. Prior to Chaka Khan signing with the label, she married her on-and-off boyfriend Hassan Khan, changing her stage name to Chaka Khan.
1973–78: Early career with Rufus[edit]
In 1973, Rufus released their self-titled debut album. Despite their fiery rendition of Stevie Wonder's "Maybe Your Baby" from Wonder's acclaimed Talking Book and the modest success of the Chaka-led ballad "Whoever's Thrilling You (Is Killing Me)", the album failed to garner attention. That changed when Wonder himself collaborated with the group on a song he had written for Chaka Khan. That song, "Tell Me Something Good", became the group's breakthrough hit, reaching number-three on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1974 later winning the group their first Grammy Award. The single's success and the subsequent follow-up, "You Got the Love", which peaked at number-eleven on the Billboard Hot 100 helped their second parent album, Rags to Rufus, go platinum selling over a million copies. Between 1974 and 1979, Rufus would release six platinum-selling albums including Rufusized, Rufus Featuring Chaka Khan, Ask Rufus, Street Player and Masterjam. Hits the group would score during this time included "Once You Get Started," "Sweet Thing," "Hollywood," "At Midnight (My Love Will Lift You Up)," and "Do You Love What You Feel."
The band gained a reputation as a live performing act with Chaka Khan becoming the star attraction, thanks to her powerful vocals and stage attire, which sometimes included Native American garb and showing her midriff. Most of the band's material was written and produced by the band itself with few exceptions. Chaka Khan has also been noted for being an instrumentalist playing drums and bass, she also provided percussion during her tenure with Rufus. Most of her compositions were collaborations with guitarist Tony Maiden. Relations between Chaka Khan and the group, particularly between with r Andre Fischer, became stormy. Several members left with nearly every release. While Chaka Khan remained a member of the group, she signed a solo contract with Warner Bros. Records in 1978. While Chaka Khan was busy at work on solo material, Rufus released three albums without her participation including 1979's Numbers, 1980's Party 'Til You're Broke and 1983's Seal in Red.
1978–83: Early solo career and final years with Rufus[edit]
In 1978, Warner Bros. Records released Chaka Khan's solo debut album, which featured the crossover disco hit, "I'm Every Woman", written for her by songwriters Ashford & Simpson. The success of the single helped the album go platinum, selling over a million copies. Khan also was a featured performer on Quincy Jones' hit, "Stuff Like That", also released in 1978.
In 1979, Khan reunited with Rufus to collaborate on the Jones-produced Masterjam, which featured their hit, "Do You Love What You Feel", which Khan sang with Tony Maiden. Despite her sometimes-acrimonious relationship with some of her band mates, Chaka Khan and Maiden have maintained a friendship over the years. In 1979 she also duetted with Ry Cooder on his album Bop Till You Drop. In 1980, while Rufus released Party 'Til You're Broke, again without Chaka Khan, she released her second solo album, Naughty, which featured her on the cover with her six-year-old daughter Milini. The album yielded the minor disco hit "Clouds" and went gold.
Also in 1980 she had a cameo appearance as a church choir soloist in The Blues Brothers with John Belushi and Dan Aykroyd. Chaka Khan released two albums in 1981, the Rufus release, Camouflage and the solo album What Cha' Gonna Do for Me. The same year, Chaka Khan appeared on three tracks on Rick Wakeman's concept album 1984. In 1982, Chaka Khan issued two more solo albums, the jazz-oriented Echoes of an Era and a more funk/pop-oriented self-titled album. The latter album's track, the jazz-inflected "Bebop Medley", won Khan a Grammy and earned praise from Betty Carter who loved Khan's vocal scatting in the song.[5]
In 1983, following the release of Rufus' final studio album, Seal in Red, which did not feature Chaka Khan, the singer returned with Rufus on a live album, Stompin' at the Savoy - Live, which featured the studio single, "Ain't Nobody", which became the group's final charting success reaching number 22 on the Billboard Hot 100 and number one on the Hot R&B chart, while also reaching the top ten in the United Kingdom. Following this release, Rufus separated for good.
1984–96: Solo success[edit]
In 1984, Chaka Khan released her sixth studio album, I Feel for You. The title track was the first single released. Originally written and recorded by Prince for his eponymous follow-up to his debut album in 1979, it had been previously recorded by The Pointer Sisters and Mary Wells. Khan's version featured a harmonica solo by Stevie Wonder and an introductory rap by Grandmaster Melle Mel. This version of the song became a million-selling smash in the U.S. and United Kingdom, and it helped to relaunch Chaka Khan's career. I Feel For You topped not only the U.S. R&B and dance charts, but achieved great success on U.S. pop charts, and reached number one in the United Kingdom as well. The song reached number three on the Billboard Hot 100 in December 1984, and remained on that chart for 26 weeks, well into 1985. It was listed as Billboard′s number 5 song for the year 1985, and netted Prince the 1985 Grammy Award for Best R&B Song. In addition to the song's successful radio airplay and sales, a music video of Chaka Khan with break dancers in an inner-city setting enjoyed heavy airplay on television and helped to solidify Chaka Khan's notoriety in popular culture.
Other singles which helped the I Feel For You album to go platinum included "This is my Night" and the ballad "Through the Fire", the latter of which was also very successful on the adult contemporary charts. Chaka Khan was featured in Steve Winwood's 1986 number one hit, "Higher Love". That same year, a duet was planned with Robert Palmer for the song "Addicted To Love". However, her manager declined to allow the duet to be released, citing the desire to not have too much product from her in the marketplace at one time; she was still credited for the vocal arrangements in the album's liner notes, and the song became an international hit.[6] Chaka Khan followed up her successful I Feel For You album with 1986's Destiny and 1988's CK. Chaka Khan found more success in the late 1980s with a remix album, Life is a Dance - The Remix Project, which reached the top ten on the British albums chart. As a result she performed regularly in the United Kingdom, where she maintained a strong fan base.
In 1990, she was a featured performer on another major hit when she collaborated with Ray Charles and Quincy Jones on a new jack swing cover of The Brothers Johnson's "I'll Be Good to You", which was featured on Jones' Back on the Block. The song reached number-eighteen on the Billboard Hot 100 and number-one on the Hot R&B chart, later winning Ray Charles and Chaka Khan a Grammy for Best R&B Vocal Performance By a Duo or Group. Chaka Khan returned with her first studio album in four years in 1992 with the release of The Woman I Am, which went gold thanks to the R&B success of the songs "Love You All My Lifetime" and "You Can Make the Story Right". Chaka Khan also contributed to soundtracks and worked on a follow-up to The Woman I Am which she titled Dare You to Love Me, which was eventually shelved. In 1995, she and rapper Guru had a hit with the duet "Watch What You Say", in the United Kongdom. That same year, she provided a contemporary R&B cover of the classic standard, "My Funny Valentine", for the Waiting to Exhale soundtrack. In 1996, following the release of her greatest-hits album, Epiphany: The Best of Chaka Khan, Vol. 1, Chaka Khan abruptly left Warner Bros. after stating the label had neglected her and failed to release Dare You to Love Me.[7]
Since 1998[edit]
In 1998, Chaka Khan signed a contract with Prince's NPG Records label and issued Come 2 My House, followed by the single "Don't Talk 2 Strangers", a cover of a 1996 Prince song. Chaka Khan later went on a tour with Prince as a co-headlining act. In 2000, Chaka Khan departed from NPG and in 2004 released her first jazz covers album in twenty-two years with 2004's ClassiKhan. She also covered "Little Wing" with Kenny Olson on the album Power of Soul: A Tribute to Jimi Hendrix. Three years later, after signing with Burgundy Records, Khan released what many critics called a "comeback album" with Funk This, produced by Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis & Big Jim Wright pic= 990 The album featured the hit, "Angel", and the Mary J. Blige duet, "Disrespectful". The latter track went to number one on the U.S. dance singles chart, winning the singers a Grammy Award, while Funk This also won a Grammy for Best R&B Album. The album was notable for Khan's covers of Dee Dee Warwick's "Foolish Fool" and Prince's "Sign o' the Times". In 2008, Khan participated in the Broadway adaptation of The Color Purple playing Ms. Sofia to Fantasia Barrino's Celie.[8]
In a 2008 interview Chaka Khan said that she, unlike other artists, felt very optimistic about the current changes in the recording industry, including music downloading. "I'm glad things are shifting and artists – not labels – are having more control over their art. My previous big record company (Warner Bros.) has vaults of my recordings that haven't seen the light of day that people need to hear. This includes Robert Palmer's original recording of "Addicted to Love" – which they took my vocals off of! We are working on getting it (and other tracks) all back now."[7]
In 2009, Chaka Khan hit the road with singers Anastacia and Lulu for Here Come the Girls.
In 2009 Chaka was guest singer with the song "Alive"[9] on the Billy Cobham's album Drum ' n voice 3. In 2010, she contributed to vocals for Beverley Knight's "Soul Survivor", collaborated with Clay Aiken on a song for the kids show Phineas and Ferb, and performed two songs with Japanese singer Ai on Ai's latest album The Last Ai. Khan continues to perform to packed audiences both in her native United States and overseas.
On May 19, 2011, Chaka Khan was given the 2,440th Hollywood Walk of Fame star plaque on a section of Hollywood Boulevard in Los Angeles. Her family was present when the singer accepted the honor, as was Stevie Wonder, who had written her breakout hit "Tell Me Something Good".
On September 27, 2011, the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame committee announced that Chaka Khan and her former band Rufus were jointly nominated for induction to the hall. It was the collective's first nomination 13 years after they were first eligible. The group were nominated partly due to Khan's own storied reputation, including her own solo career in conjunction with her years with Rufus.
Recently, Chaka Khan rerecorded her song, "Super Life", under the title "Super Life: Fear Kills, Love Heals" with Eric Benet, Kelly Price, and Luke James in tribute to Trayvon Martin, a teenager who was killed on February 26. A number of celebrities also joined in the recording including Loretta Devine, Terry Crews, Eva Pigford, and reporter Kevin Frazier.
On July 27, 2013, Chaka Khan was honored forty years after signing her first recording contract with a ceremonial renaming of Blackstone Avenue between 50th and 51st street (where her former high school, Kenwood Academy, sits) as Chaka Khan Way and on July 28 the city declared the day Chaka Khan Day. She performed at Millennium Park's Pritzker Pavilion on the 28th.[10]
Chaka Khan is working on her new album called iKhan and is said to be released on the 2013.
Personal life[edit]
Chaka Khan has been married twice and is the mother of two children, daughter Indira Milini and son Damien Holland. Her first marriage was to Hassan Khan, in 1970, when she was 17. They divorced a short time later. Milini's birth was the result of a relationship between Chaka Khan and Rahsaan Morris.[2] Chaka Khan married her second husband, Richard Holland, in 1976. The marriage reportedly caused a rift between Chaka Khan and several members of Rufus, in particular, Andre Fischer. Chaka Khan dated a Chicago-area schoolteacher in the mid-1980s in the middle of her solo stardom. Following their separation, Chaka Khan moved to Europe, first settling in London, later buying a residence in Germany.
Chaka Khan is vegan, saying she adopted the diet to lose weight and combat high blood pressure and Type-2 diabetes.[11] In the past, Chaka Khan struggled with drug abuse and alcoholism. Her drug use, which at times included cocaine and heroin, ended sometime in the early 1990s. Chaka Khan would have an on-and-off struggle with alcoholism until 2005 declaring herself sober. In 2006, her son Damien Holland was accused of murder after 17-year-old Christopher Bailey was shot to death. Chaka Khan testified on her son's behalf defending her son's innocence. Holland claimed the shooting was an accident and was found not guilty.[12] Though she sang at both the 2000 Democratic and Republican conventions, Chaka Khan says that she is more of a "Democratic-minded person".[13]
In December 2011, Chaka Khan won permanent custody of her granddaughter, Daija Jade Holland, after reporting that Daija's mother, girlfriend of Khan's son Damien Holland, was unable to raise her due to her drug addiction. It was reported that Chaka Khan's son was also addicted to drugs.[14]
Chaka Khan was featured in a 2013 episode of Celebrity Ghost Stories where she told the story of a 'shadow man' that followed her on tour for years until she met a guardian angel who admonished her to change her life or die.[15]

ISTANBUL, April 1 (Reuters) - Turkey's exports rose 0.3 percent year-on-year in March to $12.55 billion, the Turkish Exporters Assembly (TIM) said on Monday.
In the first quarter, exports climbed 3.3 percent to $36.48 billion, it said. TIM releases its figures almost a month before the statistics institute and the two sets of data normally match.

Hunting The Elusive Fat Pill
Obesity is booming, yet there are only two medications approved for long-term weight loss. Why is it so hard to make a diet pill that works? For one thing, evolution hates diets
Desperate Measures
For those who have never been overweight, it can be hard to accept the notion that obesity is a medical problem and not a failure of will. But obviously, nobody wants to be fat, any more than they want to have high cholesterol. Yet it wasn't that long ago that the prevailing treatment for cholesterol was a heavy dose of advice: Change your lifestyle. Cutting out eggs and butter and saturated fats certainly improves cholesterol, but not to the degree that statins do. The fact is, cholesterol drugs save lives. Likewise, diet and exercise are crucial elements of losing weight, but many researchers agree that today they're just not enough.
In the wake of rimonabant, the hormone option seems the most palatable and plausible. Perhaps these master signals will be strong enough to override our deep-seated biological drives. But, as the psychologist Halford points out, there is no one mechanism in the body responsible for obesity, and it's a frustratingly complex problem. He knows this on a personal level, too. Standing 5-foot-7, Halford has, over the past few years, pushed the scales up to 178—about 20 pounds overweight. "Largely because of traveling a lot and alcohol consumption," he admits. "It just kind of crept up on me."
Eric Hagerman is a contributing editor at POPULAR SCIENCE. His most recent article, in February, was about Swiss pilot Yves Rossy and his adventures flying a jet-powered wingsuit.
I agree with popscifan3. I've seen a lot of people say that obesity is a disease. What I haven't seen in a long time is someone eating an apple.
Drugs like these are sometimes necessary for people with certain conditions, but they should only be for people who have a real condition.
You guys are right altho the vice with this is that people are generally designed to eat things that make us fat. Cuz back in the day when food wasnt plentiful we needed to do this to survive. thats why things like fat and sugar taste good for us.
I think the key to a good weight loss drugs would be something that stimulates the production of HGH (human growth hormone). Synthetic HGH is perscribed to elderly people to rebuil muscle and bone mass. Studies have shown that people tend to loss excess fat and build muscle at the same time. cool hey? downfall right now is that most peoples bodies produce enough of the stuff to stay healthy, so doping with synthetics can cause your body to stop producing this hormone all together. but if u can stimulate your bodies production then I think you got winner :)
The main problem is that people always fall back on the same tactics - eat less and exercise more. But here's the problem with both of these tactics:
When you eat less, that's when your body goes into starvation mode, and it stores up more fat to guarantee its survival - it has no idea that you have a refrigerator stocked full of food or you have a grocery store just down the street. And when it needs energy, the first place it goes is not that fat reserve - it takes the muscle you're not using, and burns that for energy. So you gain fat and you use muscle.
Then what happens when you try and exercise? Well, your body doesn't have the complex carbohydrates it needs to be able to sustain your workout. So it's harder and harder for you to exercise.
The problem is that calorie restricted diets or carb restricted diets actually increase cravings, and what do you go for? The sugars and simple carbohydrates that we're so used to. So we end up building more fat and losing lean muscle.
The solution is to shift to a balanced glycemic eating pattern that doesn't give us more carbohydrates than our body can handle, but also doesn't put the body into starvation mode, and to combine that with an exercise pattern that builds lean muscle mass, and creates a sustainable pattern to maintain these habits over a lifetime.
"...the vast majority of overweight people need to stop being lazy and exercise."
Although this sounds good in theory, if you talk with sports-rehab therapists you will be given a different picture.
Most people assume that eating right and exercising will solve the problems for the overweight without taking into concideration the amount of abuse that excercise places on the body. Pinched nerves in the lower back. Blown out knees. Twisted ankles. Ruptured disks. And the list goes on.
To safely workout requires a large amount of planning and usually a fair deal of money in safety equipment. If you go tell an obese person to go out and start a slow pace on a treadmill the next day you may wind up with a person so sore that they never want to return to it.
The pharmaceutical industry is barking up the wrong tree. The goal in effective long term weight control is through feeding the body what it needs. When will BIG PHARMA understand that there isn't a quick fix one pill solution for this and everything else for that matter. Medical intervention is the 3rd leading cause of death in North America with adverse drug reactions taking the majority of that wonderful title as demonstrated by this article. The human body is capable of taking care of itself providing it is given the right environment to succeed. one "DIET" that comes to mind and it isn't even a diet per say but is based on one of the only verifiable methods studied to prolong life called the CRON diet. CRON is an acronym for Calorie Reduced with Optimum Nutrition. For those thinking that optimum nutrition includes BigMacs and French Fries, think again. The majority of overweight or obese people I come across are just plain ignorant thinking that giant multi-national corporations will provide them with sensible healthy options. Everything is processed these days in order to maximize profitability. Take a can of soup for example, one can contains approximately half of your daily requirement for sodium(salt) intake and companies like Campbell's are well aware of it so they have reduced that along with sugar but guess how they are doing it so that you still enjoy their products. Sodium, sugar and MSG are used to flavor and/or preserve packaged goods without it we would likely not buy them because they wouldn't taste any good. A chemical company by the name of Senomyx has contracted with Kraft, Nestle, Coca Cola, and Campbell Soup to put a chemical in foods that masks bitter flavors by turning off bitter flavor receptors on your tongue. The companies can then reduce sugar and sodium levels by approximately half without affecting the flavor. All of the companies declined to identify which foods and beverages the chemical additives have been or will be added to. These chemical compounds are not required to be listed separately on food labels; they are grouped into the general category of "artificial flavors" along with all the other potentially toxic chemicals you are ingesting without knowing it. Senomyx was able to obtain FDA approval and a "generally recognized as safe" classification from the Flavor and Extract Manufacturers Association in less than a year and a half, based on a safety study of rats conducted for just 3 months.
Bottom line folks don't be ignorant and read your labels. If you can't pronounce it, it is not likely to be good for you. All these poisons along with environmental pollutants are clogging our bodies from working efficiently. Apply common sense to how you eat and don't expect big corporations like Campbell's or giant pharmaceutical compnaies to solve your answers and believe that they have your well being at the forefront.
Anyone looking for suggestions on losing weight and implementing an effective program contact me via popsci
There is not much about this article that I agree with. For instance humans are not programed to store fat we are programed to remove excess sugar from the blood as sugar(glucose) above normal(about 1 teaspoon) is considered toxic and must be removed from the blood.
There are three major storage areas in the body for glucose; the muscles, the liver and fat cells. As most people consume more then 1 teaspoon of sugar in most meals and do almost no exercise to burn the sugar before it must be stored then the excess gets stored, usually as fat. The major hormone in the sugar storage process is insulin. In the absence of insulin it is very difficult for the body to store fat and in the presence of high insulin levels it is almost imposable to release fat from the cells for burning. Therefore it is only logical that to effectively shead fat you must reduce insulin levels below the fat storage level and preferably as low as possible.
There are two ways to lower insulin levels. The first is the standard low calorie diet that most people cannot tolerate for extended periods of time. The other method is to reduce sugar(carbs) to a low level. When carbs are kept below about 30 grams a day insulin will drop to very low levels and fat will be released easily from the fat cells to be burned or discarded as ketone bodies. A side effect of ketone bodies in the blood is reduced apatite.
As you may have figured out the second method of reducing insulin levels is the standard low-carb Atkins stile diet that has been shown in a growing number of studies to be more effective at reducing body fat then other low-calorie diets.
Personally I have been following a low-carb diet for 6 years after losing 50lbs in the first 6 months. At 45 I'm in better shape then I have ever been. I currently weigh 180lbs with about 9% body fat. My blood work is excellent and my blood pressure is below normal. I do no aerobic exercises and only do pushups and pullups to maintain and build upper body strength. I easily maintain my weight while eating as many non-carb calories that I want. I'm rarely sick and can even keep up with my 4 and 5 year old kids.
Most people reading this post will discount it as a sample of one but I hope it will get some to be curious enough to take a look at some of the resources on the net and see that a low-carb lifestyle is an effective tool in the battle against the growing problem of obesity.
I discovered about 5 years ago quite accidentally, that the Homeopathic Remedy Natrum Phosphoricum 6x which is a Tissue Salt also known as Nat Phos 6x will reduce weight by up to 1 Kg per week. Nat Phos is extensively used in Homeopathy for the treatment of GERD (Gastro Esophageal Reflux Disease) also known as Heartburn or Hyperacidity which many suffer from, especially after dinner. I had prescribed this remedy for a patient who was suffering from GERD and was also overweight by about 25 kg and was agreeably surprised when he met me about 3 months later to report that his GERD had stabilized and that he had also shed about 10kg of his weight and was able to use his clothes which he had discarded due to his daily expanding girth.
Since that first surprise discovery, I have given this remedy to many hundreds of patients and also conveyed this chance discovery to the world on my Homeopathic Forum "Homeopathy and More" on:
I am aware that Nat Phos 6x is now being used extensively in many countries throughout the world and it is my hope that anyone who reads this message will also use it and discover that his/her weight reduces by up to 1 kg per week. The dosage I have used is just 2-3 tablets taken after each of two main meals. Please note that the action of Nat Phos to reduce weight is antidoted by Coffee, preserved meats containing Saltpeter like Sausages, Ham and Bacon and all cola beverages all of which will neutralize its action.
The great advantage of this remedy is that it is very safe in use and is also very cost effective to be used on a daily basis in comparison to the expensive drug Rimonabant which is a dangerous Cannabinoid based drug that was known to be dangerous even before it was released by the manufacturers. It is fortunate that it has since been withdrawn by Big Pharma who were anticipating a killing in their sales of this most dangerous drug which is reported to have claimed many lives.
It is my hope that your website will test the efficacy of Nat Phos 6x by giving it to anyone in your own office who is overweight and spread the word throughout the world of its safety in daily use.

RobD nailed it. Human beings ate low carb for thousands of years before grain cultivation. Until recent history, we could get away with all that excess sugar coursing through our bodies because we lived without AC, no cars, lived very physically demanding lives, etc. and burned it off before storing it as fat.
However our sedentary, climate-controlled lifestyle combined with a convenience food culture and a retarded government food pyramid based on a deeply flawed Ancel Keys study that he jiggered to get the outcome he wanted, has created a tsunami of obesity.
I've lost 120 lbs and kept it off for two years living low carb. I work outside in all types of weather and come into contact with hundreds of strangers everyday, and yet two weeks ago was the first time I've been sick in the three years I've been eating this way. I went through all my cold/flu meds and realized every single one had expired a year ago or more! I feel better at 35 than I did at 25.
Like you, I would like to encourage anyone out there reading this who is obese and maybe feeling like there's no hope to use the net to find out more about low carb living. It's never too late! The first thing you have to realize is that you do have the power to improve your life. Eating a natural human diet isn't punishing like one of these calorie-counting, low-fat torture diets.
I LOVE FOOD. Obviously, or I wouldn't have been morbidly obese! The beauty of a low carb diet is fat and protein are satisfying AKA hunger fighting and TASTE GOOD. That's why diet pills will never work. If you love food, you need to make a lifestyle change that can be compatible with an obese person's obvious love/obsession with food.
And a diet that insists on grains AKA hunger creators as it's base combined with disgusting tasting low-fat this, and calorie-counting skim that is a recipe for long term failure.
The Atkins and Beverly Hills Diets are GARBAGE! If you follow those diets you are heading for a disaster. Your body needs the proper balance of Protein, Carbohydrates and yes Fats!
The type, ratio and amounts that your body requires are all individualized and should be calculated by a nutritionist who knows your individual needs and goals. Your Basal Metabolic Rate, Exercise Levels, Training and Fitness Goals all need to be taken into consideration.
Yes, carbohydrates can be bad for you...white processed bread, white rice, etc. All these things tend to convert very quickly to a spike in blood sugar rather than a gradual release like a complex carb as in whole grain breads and rice. Eliminating an entire food group is a terrible idea!
Fats are actually good! Remember Omega 3 Fatty acids? Remember the fat contained in certain nuts? The fats in those actually help control hunger between meals.
RobD, sorry to burst your bubble...the high levels of protein that the Atkins diet has you take in at one time is actually toxic to the liver! I was very active in the sport of bodybuilding for several years and didn't see many bodybuilders consuming the levels of protein that Atkins recommends at one meal. Your workout routine is very poor. At 45 years of age you are headed for trouble very quickly. You need to be seen by a cardiologist and get a stress test. You are, by your own admission, not getting any aerobic activity. By your own statement, "I do no aerobic exercises and only do pushups and pullups to maintain and build upper body strength. I easily maintain my weight while eating as many non-carb calories that I want".
RobD I am 48 years old. I do workout. I do aerobic activity. I do interval training 3 times a week. I eat a balanced diet and eat several times a day (with snacks between to control hunger...including carbs for energy). I don't say all of this to brag, but to try to say to you and anyone else who may even consider that FOOLISH ATKINS DIET---DON'T DO IT!!! What happens when you become a normal person and you start eating carbs again? Worse yet, what happens when you have liver damage from the toxic amounts of protein or worse even yet...what about your heart? The heart that you are not exercising...by your own statement! The most important muscle in your body! Those blood tests, and blood pressure levels don't tell the whole story RobD. Many, many people die each year with great blood pressure and wonderful blood work results (i.e., clean bills of health) but failed to exercise, rest, relieve stress and eat right!
Good Luck to You!
Thanks for highlighting the many false arguments against a low-carb lifestyle.
#1 The body needs carbs to be healthy. False, a normal healthy person has no dietary requirement for carbs. In the absence of carbs the liver will convert dietary protein to glucose to maintain blood sugar. The Inuit and other aboriginal people have almost no carbs in there native diet and live long a and healthy lives.
#2 There are good carbs and bad carbs. False, all carbs except fiber are converted to glucose and cause an insulin response. Whole wheat bread and the new cereals that they have on the shelf are only slightly lower in carbs then there white counterparts. Think of whole wheat bread like cocaine that has been cut with something inert. It is still cocaine.
#3 Atkins style diets are only meat and fat. False, many low-carb vegetables, nuts and even fruits are allowed if you are low-carbing. I eat almonds and other nuts as snacks and when not actively trying to lose weight berries are also consumed. If our Palio ancestors could not spear it or pick it up off the ground and eat it raw then you shouldn't eat it is a good general rule.
#4 Low-carb diets are high protein. False, they can be if you over do it but most low-carbers only eat slightly higher amounts of protein then the average person. I eat 40 grams of protein per meal. That is only a 6oz steak. There is no scientific evidence that protein has any toxic effect on any internal organ.
#5 You must exercise like an Olympic athlete to be fit. False, as I noted in my previous post, I don't do any intense exercise and maintain a low bf % and my bp and pulse are below normal. I have had a stress test as my family has a history of heart problems. The cardiologist said that I was one of the most fit 40 somthings he has seen in years.
#5 When you become "normal" and start eating carbs again what then? Heh, if that happens I will get fat again. I use the term low-carb diet because that is what most people call it but it really is a lifestyle and just like any other dietary program, if you go back to the way you lived before you lost the weight you will just gain it back.
"Many, many people die each year with great blood pressure and wonderful blood work results (i.e., clean bills of health) but failed to exercise, rest, relieve stress and eat right!"
True, and long distance runners die all the time also. Do a search and see how many hard core runners have died of sudden cardiac problems, there are quiet a few. Most of our ancestors did not run long distances and where really quite lazy most of the time because once the kill was made it was feast and nap time.
Like I said before, do some looking around. If you are intellectually curious I think you will find that there is a ton of evidence out there that a low-carb lifestyle is really how we are meant to live and our current obesity problems could be solved by the reduction of carbs. If you look at the charts of food consumption from about 1960 on you will find that fat consumption has decrease and carb consumption has increase. Correlation is not causation but at least it should be noted and looked at.
A great source of info on the low-carb life style is Dr. Mike Eades's blog and books(Protein Power Lifeplan) and Art De Vany's blog is also great, unfortunately he recently when commercial and is charging for access to his private blog. Art is quite the interesting guy, he is 70 something and has a body of a 30 something. Also Jimmy Moore's blog is also very good.
Thanks for citing against the AMA, US Surgeon General, and the USRDA on their research on what is required in our diets! You and Dr. Atkins are incredible--not!
Carbs do get turned into sugar eventually for energy but with refined or simple it happens very quickly vs. whole grains the process occurs slowly over time (like our body needs it).
Carbs and PROTEIN as well can very easily turn to fat if not utilized by the body. Remember quite simply: 3,500 calories = 1 lb of body weight. Lose it or gain it...you figure it out...it's not rocket science! Eat fat free foods, they still have calories. Eat high protein foods, they still have calories...the same goes for high fat foods. The problem with Atkins is that he advocates high fat foods over over a complex carbohydrate. You do your homework and look online and see the people who have almost died on that diet! All so he can live the high life!
Unfortunately you are citing from people who use unscientific methods, are charging (as are most of these short-lived diet experts do) and you're being fooled buy short term 1960's statistics.
I was not attacking you, nor did I suggest any Olympic-style training routine. Push-ups, pullups are not a balanced workout routine!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Eliminating an entire food group is not balanced and you will soon discover the effects of eating the high fat foods that the Atkins Diet proclaims (like fried bacon, fatty burgers and such) that you fail to mention in your citation in your article will cause your body to do. If you're not eating that crap then congrats to you!!
I am suggesting that people follow the nutrition plan of a qualified nutritionist and exercise, rest, reduce stress (extremely important to the body) and one of the things I forgot to mention is to train with a Heart Rate Monitor. Know your Target Heart Hate and your Maximum Heart Rate and know how long to maintain your Target. That's how to achieve results in cardiovascular fitness/weight loss. If you have any questions of this RobD ask your cardiologist about 220 - age = Max HR. He will verify what I am saying. Your Training Heart Rate depends on your level of ability and your doctor's recommendations but is usually 70 to 85% of the Max HR.
Your body also needs training in several other muscle groups than you are training in push ups and pullups. Nothing for the core? No back training? No calves, hamstrings, quadraceps...?
Fitness is a wonderful thing! I am guessing that your bodyfat was done by caliper or electronic induction means? That can be way, way off. Go to a college and get a hydrostatic test if it's that important to you. Bodyfat however is not that important a factor. It's just simply a factor.
I have done research. You are the one who needs to do some research. I have been training and maintaining my lifesyle for over 28 years. I've gone from bodybuilding, to strength training to an emphasis in cardiovascular fitness but always with the emphasis on being healthy.
I'm not going to argue that working out is not a good thing. My contention is that it is not necessary to lose weight. On a low-carb diet that drives insulin low the body is put into a fat burning mode that does not require exercise to maintain. Many obese people do not have the ability, time or inclination to work out as you do and therefore do not lose fat consistently on a regular low-calorie diet. The hart monitor and target heart rate is all fine stuff but for the typical obese person is not going to be able to do it. It is just not realistic. As for me, as I said earlier I don't need to do it and maintain my heath. Again all my tests are normal or better so why would I need it?
As to what is the best long term dietary program I would contend that the one that our ancestors followed for millions of years has a better long term track record then something developed by some bureaucrats in Washington in the last fifty years. For instance they said saturated fat was bad for you then they said all fat is bad and know they say, well some types of fat are good and oh and by the way those great trans-fats that we were telling you were so much better then those nasty saturated fats well those are really really bad for you. Heh, most of the population has been following the USRDA all the way to the fat farm.
I did not say the protein and dietary fat can not be converted to body fat. I said that in the absence of insulin it is very hard for the body to store fat. The nutrient that stimulates the body to produce insulin the most is carbohydrates. Insulin drives fat storage and carbohydrates drive insulin production.
You pretty much state that there is no difference between a calorie of fat, protein and carbs. That assumes that the body processes each type of calorie the same. That is no ware near the case. Carbs, even complex ones are converted easily to sugar while protein and fat require many steps of digestion and manipulation to become usable to the cells as energy. Also protein and fat consumption promote satiety and carbs do not. It is very easy to do a low-calorie low-carb diet because you don't get the sugar rushes and crashes typical of a low-calorie high carb diet. In almost every study done that compares a true low-carb diet to any other low-calorie diet the low-carb diet consistently produces better results in fat lose and compliance.
What you do is great and more power to you but like I said most people can't or won't and a low-carb diet has been shown to be a viable and safe option. Even the ADA has come out recently and said that low-carb is an option for weight lose.
I've read several articles on Cocaine abuse. All of the article say the use of cocaine blocks your hunger cravings. Is there substance in Cocaine that could be chemically subtracted and used a a deteriorate to eating. When I watch America's Most Wanted. It seems 90% of the crack and cocaine users are skinny. If every one had access to these recreational drugs, I wonder, if we could cure the obesity problem? With out causing another more serious problem. Decriminalizing recreational drugs would eliminate the drug dealers and therefore the crimes. Seems like the users on TV are totally happy, until the police show up.
Last comment.
All your tests are normal or better? Like Cardiac Ejection Fraction? Cardiac Enzymes, blood lypids, treadmill stress test or thalium? Did they do an ultrasound as well where they can actually see inside the heart (valves, arteries, etc.,)? I seriously doubt if all those things are "better than normal on a 45 year old man" if you do no aerobic exercise. That's the equivalent of me (a 48 year old man) running a 5:00 mile) without any training whatsoever. I suppose it's possible, but highly improbable. It's like saying I can bench press 500 lbs without ever working out my chest...absolutely insane!
Blood pressure, cholesterol and general health screening blood work are hardly good indicators of good cardiac health.
I never, ever once suggested a low fat, low calorie diet--never ever once!!! I said balanced diet, exercise, rest and do your best to reduce stress! I also suggested using a heart rate monitor for safety and to monitor your progress.
Things like portion control, eating smaller meals throughout the day to keep that insulin level stable throughout the day (as you talk about) and not eating big meals before going to bed are all very easy changes to help obese people lose weight. Drinking water helps as well--we're over 90% water you know.
Humans have not been on earth Millions of years, but I get your point...we are much more sedentary than our ancestors. Our portions have over tripled in size since the 1960's (in restaurants and food packaging) and we drive to our neighbor's house. The phrase "can't do it and don't have time for exercise" are just excuses. We all need to make time to take car of ourselves.
Leaving out exercise...ESPECIALLY AEROBIC EXERCISE is a huge mistake!
You will never change my mind on that! The heart is the most important muscle in the body.
Obese people can exercise. I have helped many, many, many obese people exercise. Walking, moving their arms, lifting their legs, bending their knees, ankles, shoulders and on and on until they are able to do the things like walk very slowly on a treadmill (holding the rails). When you're patient, one day, that obese person won't be obese anymore. He or she will be walking very fast (or maybe running on that treadmill)! So proud and happy not to be on a "DIET" but to have a new "LIFESTYLE"!!
Too many people have been hurt by it's pseudo-science!
I was overweight only one time in my life. I gained 50 pounds while pregnant and only lost 20 pounds after the birth. I also began having seizures while pregnant and was put on dilantin after the birth.
For me, dilantin had the side effect of making me lose interest in food. I literally did not think of food, it's not that I didn't like food, I just had no desire for it. If you put food in front of me I would eat it, otherwise it seemed to have no function in my life. I could go several days without eating. Often times I had to stop and try to remember when I had last eaten, knowing that for my health I should shovel something into my mouth. A year and 40 pounds of weight loss later the doctor switched me to another anti seizure drug and before I was fully weaned off of dilantin the natural desire for food returned.
If I could bottle what that drug did to my brain I would be rich.
Do what RobD does, and throw in some bike riding. Or buy the perfect push up and pull up and do as much as you can do. Thats about it, you dont need to run hardcore or have a whole body strentgh training regiment just to lose weight. But having one definately increases your ability to replace weight lost in fat with some muscle. I eat as much as I want, bordering on fast food 4-5 days a week and my body just takes it as fuel for a harder workout. I get stronger and my body weight stays within the same 10 lb range, but that was over the summer when i was actually working out. The last time i worked out was 2 weeks ago and i gained 5 lbs since august even with the shoveling of food in my mouth. My blood tests and pressure are normal but im sure all the unhealthy food has done something that tests wont be able to show, but I manage. I'm 18 so I can imagine that my metabolism is already higher but it still dosen't take much effort to change what you eat.
Wow as the author mentioned amylin of San Diego I'm suprised they did not mention Lorcaserin being developed by Arena Pharma also a San Diego company.
Lorcaserin is a phase three drug who's data will be released in a few weeks. Second phase three the company has done prior to submitting to the FDA. Well over three thousand involved in their study.
Previous trials were positive.
There is a major flaw in the reasoning behind the design of this pill. The assumption is that fat makes you fat. Study after study has shown that humans require adequate levels of dietary fat. The human body becomes obese when it is fed a diet that results in high levels of blood sugar becoming stored as adipose tissue. A diet with good levels of quality fats tends to regulate spikes in blood sugar levels. Fat-soluble vitamins are supplied by foods containing fat, especially animal fats.
What are the latest figures?
Obesity in the U.S. has tripled in the last 40 years? And yet fat consumption has declined? Someone needs to check their math.
A medication that blocks dietary fat from being absorbed is just simply a bad idea.
A much better approach would be a pill that stops you from eating the highly processed, industrial, "fat-free", "low-fat", "no-cholesterol" junk foods in all those brightly colored packages which take up 80% of the space in our local supermarket.
Would anyone tell an anorexic that the secret to gaining weight is taking in more calories and exercising less?
Why is it that children and teenagers on average exercise more and eat less than people in their 40s?
Here is a clue you dumb asses. The amount we exercise, the amount we are active is determined by body's production of natural amphetimines like adrenalin and cortisol. When humans are stressed or drepressed for a long period of time adrenalin and cortisol receptors develop a tolerance for higher levels of adrenalin or cortisol. When conditions return to normal, people who have been stressed or depressed feel tired, weak, and enervated. Normal levels of adrenalin and cortisol no longer stimulate the bodies central nervous system the way they used to. In effect, people feel like they have drugged with "downers" or CNS depressants. That is why nicotine and amphetimines cause people to temporarily lose weight but require people to constantly increase their dosage to get the same effects. People who are less active are not lazy, they have a nervous system that is not being stimulated enough. Hormones like testosterone play an effect.
Here is another factor. When normal weight individual consume sugar, they feel reinvigorated and energetic. People need insulin to convert sugar to energy. People who don't have enough insulin eat food to feel energetic, but instead the sugars and carbohydrates make them feel tired, weak and sleepy.
In a very short period of time, I went from being a super hyperactive normal weight trialthelon athelete to a larthargic, overweight individual. Of course, I knew that my weight gain resulted from my inactivity. But here is the kicker. Before I was falsely arrested for a crime I did not commit, I was always full energy, always euphoric. I had a natural high from my bodies hypersensitivity to adrenalin and cortisol. After I became depressed, and my mood returned to normal, my spirit had been broken and I no longer felt the energy I used to feel. Before the false arrest, I was at rest only when I was in motion. I had to exercise from morning to night. I was always hyper. Even when I sat in a chair I would burn lots of calories because my legs would move back and forth a hundred times a second. My entire central nervious system was operating in overdrive. After the false arrest, I had to force myself to perform any activity. Walking, exercising, riding a bicycle were just not the same. I still enjoyed these activities, but I discovered I just did not have the energy to perform them anymore. People with a depressed CNS are not lazy, or maybe they are, but the laziness is the direct result of body-mind chemistry. Finally, you just can't tell seomeone who is suffering depression to just be happy, to smile and feel energetic. I am really no more lazy now than I was when I was 1,000 times more active. Moreover, I have always had more will power than just about any human alive. All my life, I have always won any battle that depended on determination. My mind could always force by body to do whatever it wanted. But not when it came to losing weight by dieting. The average person may have some control over their weight by eating more or less or exercising more or less, but I don't believe most people have a choice. They used to claim erectile dysfuction was psychological. They used to claim homosexuality was psychological. The more science learns about the human body, the more it learns we are a product of both our genetics and our enviroment and nothing else. Genetic and enviroment are sufficient to explain all human variation. No one has ever even been able to give a scientific explanation for the meaning of the words: "free will." "Free will" is an invention of religion to make humans believe they are masters of their own destiny. Yes, we all have free will when it comes to actions that have no consequences, but I am willing to bet that not one of you can rob a bank tomorrow. If any of you rob a bank, you will prove me wrong, and I will believe humans have free will. People who say they can rob a bank anytime are just folling themselves. Most people don't have the balls to rob a bank. Most people are not that stupid. When it comes to any action that has consequences we don't have free will. What we do have is a fight between the archipallium, the paleomammalian brian and the neopallium. We say we feel conflicted. Then our executive making decision center performs a mathematical operation known as vector summation. When our brain adds the three vector quantities, we then exercise free will by following its choice, unless we are contrained by external influences. When you choose vanillia ice cream over another flavor, when you choose a sex partner, that is not free choice. You are following the dictates of your brain chemistry. The reason you choose one flavor today and another flavor tomorrow is your cravings change depending upon your brain chemistry. Not one person who likes chocolate ice cream does so because they choose to like chocolate ice cream. Even if you choose to like hetrosexuality over homosexuality that is simply a product of your genetics and your childhood programming or other experiences in your life. Obviously, if you believe you will burn in hell for all Eternity if you are homosexual, that is a powerful reason for you to choose not to be homosexual. I am heterosexual. I sure as heck know this is not something I ever choose. I didn't wake up one day and tell myself, "Self, you will find females sexually attractive and you will be repulsed by hairy balls and hairy asses." I really didn't have to convince myself not to rob a bank today. When I have lived with criminals. I understand why they behave the way they do. There are many reasons. The fact is if you brutally beat a sensitive child over and over again, and you break his fragile ego, he will have a mean streak, he will want to lash out. Now it depends on the roll models this child had, his intellect and his other coping mechanisms. You can't compare one human to another because the same medicine that helps one human hurts another. Some people are strenghened by adversity, others are broken by it. It is not simply a matter of one child choosing to be good, and another choosing to be bad. Some of us genetically have more discipline than others. I was born with exceptionally rare self-discipline. Because I was brought up in a super religious household that did not believe in sex before marriage, I did not have sex till I was 26. Believe me, that took exceptional discipline. I have an obsessive-compulsive personality, that contributed to my decision making process. I used to be very judgmental. Know I realize that just like I am naturally controlled by my intellect, others our driven by their impulses, and still others are driven by their emotions. Yes, we all have internal conflicts from time to time, but they are always resolved according to certain algorithms. If you know someone well enough, you can almost always know how they will react in any given situation. We all have internal programing and internal algorithms. We are just not aware of them. There are heurestic chess computers that learn from their mistakes. There are neural net chess computers that exercise free choice. Even their programers do not know what move they will make in any give situation. They are more spontaneous, and free-wheeling than many human beings. Some humans are consistant some are flakey. The truth is we are all organic robots. We just don't realize it. You can easily prove me wrong. Just go and rob a bank tomorrow, and I will admit humans really do have free will. I will even take a word for it. Most of you don't realize just how constrained your behavior really is. Why do some heroin addicts and alcoholics turn their lives around, and others find they can't? Those that turn their life around have superior programing, superior genetics, more self-control and less compuslion to succumb to temptation. Of course, if you ask those who recovered they will tell you no one ever had harder than they did, and if they were able to overcome their compulsion everyone can. That is just like an NBA basketball player telling people that anyone can be an NBA star if only they put their mind to it, and want it bad enough. Life is more complicated than you think. I always crave food because I always feel weak and always feel like I have no energy. When I consume food, instead of feeling more energetic, I feel more tired and more sleepy, the opposite of how I used to feel when I could eat a bag of sugar every day, and lose weight. I don't mean this last statement literially. But it is true, I used to consume ten times more sugar when I weighed less than do now. Whenever I ate in the past, I had no choice. I had to burn off the calories not because I wanted to but rather because I couldn't stop my limbs from moving. Today, every little bit of food I eat increases my wieght, and makes it harder for me to exercise. The less I eat, the more energy I feel I have, at least until I actually start to exercise, then I quickly run out of steam, when I used to have superhuman endurance. Don't tell me the secret to weight loss is eating less and exercising more. If you still believe that is true, your brain won't let you understand what I wrote because you this belief of yours is tantamount to a religious conviction. You have no free choice about believing humans have free choice. You have to believe it is true. No facts, no scientific evidence will ever convince you that you are wrong. Your belief cannot be falsified. And even if it could, you mind still would not accept it. I understand. I realize you are a robot, that you have no free will. Your "bias" has been programmed to believe you do have free will. Therefore, no amount of logic or facts can ever change your viewpoint. Your "bias" is biased.

The NBA schedule was released Tuesday, and the day after the release is typically when fans circle all the marquee matchups on their calendars. This season is different. TNT won't carry a single Celtics game. ESPN and NBA TV will carry three each. The Celtics won't play on Christmas.
Despite the lack of national respect, this year's Celtics schedule might be more interesting than ever. The regular season matters more to a team fighting for the playoffs, so unlike in years past, there will be reasons to watch in February, March, and April. Here are the games that stick out.

The Blue Sage Center for the Arts hosted over 85 guests in summer finery Saturday afternoon, June 22, at Azura Cellars in Paonia where participants raced or watched the boats sail on Ty and Helen Gillespies' beautiful Azura pond. First place prizes went to boat captains Ulli Lange, Georgia Finnegan and Sandy Norris.
Harbour Master and sailboat expert John Gavin managed the races — and the guests. No one fell in!
From 4 p.m. until after 8:30, the regatta guests sipped wine, piled plates high with a variety of sweet and savory dishes, and sat on the lovely Tuscan stone balcony of the winery with a view of the mountains, as well as the races on the pond below.
The afternoon began with a live auction of trip packages to Maui, New Orleans, San Francisco and Sante Fe, which were snapped up by bidders who knew that a percentage of the auction proceeds would benefit the Blue Sage Center. The auctioneer also accepted bids from three lucky couples for a fabulous dinner by chef Jean Marc Ventimiglia, who will prepare eight courses, including local venison, pheasant, beef and trout, paired with special wines. In addition to the winning bidders, other guests at the dinner will include local adventure writer, Craig Childs, and radio personality, Angus Stocking.
The last item presented at the live auction was a lovely plein aire painting of the regatta scene by Cedaredge artist, Suki Strong.
In addition to the live auction, the boat races and a "wine game," there were over 50 items donated for a silent auction — art work, local services, and locally sourced cheese, meats and produce.
The evening finished with a raffle drawing for a prize of four ski lift tickets to Aspen/Snowmass and Sunlight Resort in Glenwood Springs.
Annette Pretorius, executive director of the Blue Sage Center for the Arts, thanked all the donors of the auctioned items, and announced that there have already been requests for tickets for next year's regatta. The success of the regatta makes it certain to be an annual signature event and benefit for the Blue Sage Center, and a wonderful way to begin each summer in the North Fork Valley.

Beware, batbear...
This was not the best year of running for me. After 1100 miles in 2010 I did well for the first four months of 2011 until early April when my right foot fell apart on me. I limped through a painful summer, boot, podiatrist, gained 15 pounds, and will finish 2011 with about 650 miles. So I guess in my world, 350 miles equals 15 pounds.
However, I am determined to get back on the horse. My foot feels pretty much healed (some minor soreness), and I completed my first 20 mile week in 9 months with my longest single run since last February. I'm beginning to feel strong again, and I'm going to go for 1500 again this year.
2012 Goals:
7. Have fun!
You're all set for starting the New Year off on the right foot. Good luck beating the Bunny in the coming year.
Use your momentum...keep going. You know you can make it.

The dog, the dog, he's at it again!
Ok, she maybe not be missing... however, may you show me where you got this information from?
She was taken from the place in an ambulance wasn't she? Her parents you see, may have just decided never to let her daughter go back to that school, which would explain why no one saw her again?
I would like an answer to that as well.
The Wikipedia page says that the first news report (the next day) described it as possibly a weather balloon. The tabloids picked up on it a week later and wrote longer stories. Not really any more information. (And no mention of missing children.)
That's lovely she is ok... just for the record, I will insert what is said:
''A quick note re the missing girl, Tanya. One student tells this story in the film; other witnesses have told me similar stories, some indicating that indeed it was a girl called Tanya, others can't remember her name. The director believes she has tracked Tanya down, and we have her contact details. Rosie has been in touch with Tanya and Tanya has confirmed her presence that day. Rosie is continuing to work with Tanya to find out more details about what she remembers. Other witnesses have also indicated their belief that other students too were adversely affected by what they saw that day. ''
I think it seems most likely, her parents never allowed her back at the school. Thus adding to the mystery for many years.
Except, I never said it was chinese whispers. Again, it seems, there is a wrong protocall here. Those who make their own assertions, is not a subject of the OP-starter to prove those assertions. I deal with what I say, not other people. I expect just as much cooperation as others expect from me.
It's easy to make wild speculations. If those speculation cannot be proven, whose it all on? Certainly not the OP-starter if it was not him who made the assertion. Remember... the chinese whispers theory was mentioned by someone who said they have done their investigations... if they truly have, then lets see it.
I also believe that many people participating in this thread did not believe that the girl who went missing was even real... just based on the crude analysis of peoples words here... well now we have established that a girl, named Tanya, a very common Australian name, was taken from the site of the alleged UFO incident which further adds to the testimony and credibility of the witnesses.
I never thought the witnesses profited. The person that did the filming and editing is selling it. That's one of the big warning signs when it comes to "investigations."
For what it's worth, I don't even doubt that the stories the people are telling now are things they believe to be true. What I'm saying is that memories can change with time, and through discussion with other people. It's been proven time and time again. What they say now, and what they might have said back then are probably different. What they said if interviewed a day after they talked about it with a group of friends would likely be different than if they spoke to no one. That's the nature of eyewitness testimony and why, even though juries seem to love it, it's one of the least valid forms of evidence there is.
Any copies of the newspaper articles that can be read? I can't make out most of the words at that resolution.
I'm Not Evil.
An evil person would do the things that pop into my head.
So what do you think folks... was I misplaced in thinking that this was one of the more remarkable UFO sightings? This sighting holds all the universal aspects you'd expect from a good UFO sighting. The very last part of that documentary was quite moving to see everyone reunited and talk about their experiences. If the object was not out of the world, it was surely not the kind of object you'd expect in this world.
The only detailed description with reasonable references to sources I have seen so far is the Wikipedia page. From that I can't see why the weather balloon hypothesis isn't plausible. Is it worth searching for a more detailed description? (I also can't watch the video.)
Oh, not a UFO then. You have somehow identified it as an alien spacecraft.If the object was not out of the world, it was surely not the kind of object you'd expect in this world.
I'd say it was exactly what one would expect to see from a "good" UFO sighting. We have an event that seems odd at the time. A few sensational news articles about it. A "missing person" mystery that really wasn't. A vault of secret documents that vanished just before the intrepid hero was able to uncover them (so, no proof they ever existed). All of which is used to explain what looks by all accounts to be a pretty mundane event.
I'm Not Evil.
An evil person would do the things that pop into my head.
I can speak first hand as well of how I would have reacted, if someone was in my life and they were drastically taken away and never seen again. I have been witness to my own event which far outweighs the ''strangeness'' of the Westalll incident... but I am unwilling to talk about my experience. All I will say is that it drove my own sense of feeling to investigate the UFO phenomenon to its full glory.
What "wrong protocol"? To rule out the chinese whispers - which will inevitably occur and indeed seem to have occured in this case in regards to the not-necessarily-missing "Tanya" at the very least - certainly the most fresh interview material is most crucial. Later recollections are worth progressively less the further away in time the incident dealt with is. Surely you can't seriously be suggesting we should provide you evidence that this happens?
Incidentally, regarding the Above Top Secret thread, the other posts made in the same thread by "Shane" are an interesting read as well.
The dog, the dog, he's at it again!
Proof, but strong evidence. Evidence at least photo's where taken, and was taken by officials at the doorstep of the school. That is pretty good evidence something was behind those photo's... don't forget the photo that was taken four days before as well. I actually believe it was the same object, since it fits the same description and within a close time-frame. That's one photo that will never fall into the hands of officials.
Yes. It's reasonable.
And that's another problem with testimony. People see two events and assume they are related. From that point on, it becomes fact.
If I see a car drive by the front doors here at work, and a minute later someone walks in. It's reasonable to assume that that person got out of that car. I have no way to know that really the case, but in my mind, the association will form and it might be hard to break.
I'm Not Evil.
An evil person would do the things that pop into my head.
This is the Conspiracy Forum you are right. There are certain rules for posting in the Forum. One of those is you provide support an at some video that just shows people making claims is not support or evidence.
If that is all you are going to provide then the thread is closed.
If anyone can think of a good reason to re open it or the OP thinks has some evidence to support his claims then report this post.

Since I was a little girl I have loved photography. I love to get creative with my photographs. If I could make a living in photography I would quit my 8-5 in a heartbeat. Photobooks are the new form of scrapbooking for me! I love that I can put my photos together in a unique way for myself and others to view. Enjoy :)
