Proposition 8 Overturned; Thank You, Judge Vaughn Walker
From the decision:
"Although Proposition 8 fails to possess even a rational basis, the evidence presented at trial shows that gays and lesbians are the type of minority strict scrutiny was designed to protect.
"Plaintiffs do not seek recognition of a new right. To characterize plaintiffs' objective as 'the right to same-sex marriage' would suggest that plaintiffs seek something different from what opposite-sex couples across the state enjoy -- namely, marriage. Rather, plaintiffs ask California to recognize their relationships for what they are: marriages.
"Proposition 8 places the force of law behind stigmas against gays and lesbians, including: gays and lesbians do not have intimate relationships similar to heterosexual couples; gays and lesbians are not as good as heterosexuals; and gay and lesbian relationships do not deserve the full recognition of society."
-- Judge Vaughn Walker

Hello Prof Mesmer (Sharon),
Vaughn Walker is an historic judge for sure, and he does deserve to be honored! It took courage since he could predict that his own gayness would eventually leak out and invite attacks for compromised impartiality...which is exactly what did happen. The whole reason we have an independent judiciary is so that judges may act with more enlightenment than the democratic rabble, so to speak. There is no judge who is not in some sense and to some degree an activist, since his judgements will actively change things and he must decide in what direction to push. The history of the US judiciary is one of implicit activism, so Judge Walker is well within compass.
Straight allies are very precious, if you happen to be one!

In addition to using restrictive diets, some people also attempt to significantly increase their activity. This has a similar effect to that of a calorie-restricting diet, but it increases the amount of energy spent rather than decreasing what goes in. Increased activity tends to require greater schedule and lifestyle changes than simply changing your eating habits, but it comes with added benefits such as increased strength and better cardiovascular health.

Weight Loss Fact: The person who doesn't feel acceptable because they are fat is because they are not acceptable to themselves first. The way that you think others view you is based on your view of yourself. I honestly believe that one must become emotionally fit before becoming physically fit.

Sobe No Fear (Sugar Free) - I have found this to be the best of the energy drinks on the market for me. I don't drink them every day, but they serve well on a jam-packed day of 10+ hours of work followed by time at the gym. (Remember: drink extra water when drinking caffeine!)

so, but then I hit a plateau that only 3-4 days per week of cardio can cure (20-25 minutes per session). Then, the next plateau for me comes around 8%. If I want to go lower, I have to up my cardio to 4 days per week, for 30-40 minutes per session.
Nature Clarity Keto
I consider that I've hit a plateau if my weight hasn't changed in two weeks. As I'm only going for one pound of actual fat loss per week, no change on the scale after one week of dieting isn't necessarily a reason for concern-I could've lost that pound of fat but happen to be retaining a bit of water, or maybe my bowel movements weren't as regular in the prior day or two. No change in weight after two weeks of dieting tells me that I'm definitely stuck.

Yet, what are you doing to avoid it? Here's another reality check: virtually any diet you pick which follows the basic concept of "burning" more calories then you consume - the well accepted "calories in calories out" mantra - will cause you to lose weight. To some degree, they all work: Atkins-style, no carb diets, low fat high carb diets, all manner of fad diets - it simply does not matter in the short term.

Fat tissue is very loose and not dense. It occupies a lot of space in your body. Whereas muscle is more dense and takes up less space. When you lose fat, this space is freed and you can notice inch loss. If you are following a consistent strength training program then gain in lean muscle tissue will balance out this loss of fat and weight stays the same. Since muscle takes less space than fat, you lose inches and start to look more toned, lean and shapely.
