Sanjo powers Cobras vs. CIT-U-A A +A
Saturday, August 30, 2014
LANDRY Sanjo muscled his way through the defense to lift the Southwestern University over the Cebu Institute of Technology-University Wildcats, 75-67, in the 2014 Cebu Schools Athletic Foundation Inc. (Cesafi) Basketball tournament at the Cebu Coliseum last Friday.
Sanjo scored 11, including the last nine points for the Cobras, during the crucial stretch in the fourth period.
Earlier, Earl Undaloc woke up the fighting spirit of his teammates as he scored five straight points, including a triple that started the uprising of CIT-U.
Down 49-43, CIT-U suddenly found themselves ahead with Franklyn Batiquin nailing back-to-back triples that gave the Wildcats a 59-58 lead.
Coach Yayoy Alcoseba was forced to send back his starters to neutralize the rampaging CIT-U. Sanjo and Anton Pardo answered to put SWU back up, 68-61, with 57.8 seconds left to play.
But CIT Dimco and Batiquin sank a triple each to tow the Wildcats within 70-67 in the final 31.3 seconds.
However, Sanjo took care of business, while CIT-U failed to score anew until the final buzzer.
Sanjo scored the game-high 36 points on top of 19 rebounds, five steals and two blocks. Mark Jayven Tallo added 11 points and Pardo finished with 10 points for the Cobras, who are still missing the services of Adams Mohammad (foot injury), Daryl Goloran (hamstring) and Jasper Parker (hamstring).
SWU is now tied with USC with a 6-1 win-loss record, while CIT-U dropped to fifth place with a 2-5 record. RCM

Testosterone boosters are supplements that increase testosterone levels in the blood. This page contains all supplements meant to increase testosterone, though some are ineffective. Higher testosterone is sought during periods of muscle growth.CONFUSED? Get a free 5 day supplement course to save money and time
Examine.com is the #1 independent and trusted source on supplementation.
Until June 28 midnight EST, our Stack Guides is on sale:
Tell me more about the Stack Guides
Over 12,000 satisifed customers. See what our customers have to say.
For a list of supplements to take to boost testosterone, see the increasing testosterone supplement stack.
Testosterone boosters are a class of herbal or otherwise legal supplements that aim to increase levels of Testosterone in the body. This page discusses all compounds either marketed as or investigated for their usage as testosterone boosters or pro-androgenic compounds. For this reason, entries below may not actually boost testosterone. Many of the compounds below do indeed boost testosterone levels in some studies, but others either require hypogonadism or are just aphrodisiacs.
Note on Aromatase Inhibitors
A novel mechanism of increasing testosterone in men is through inhibiting the aromatase enzyme (also known as CYP1A1/2). This enzyme serves many purposes, one of which is to convert androgens (like testosterone) to estrogens. For more, see: anti-estrogen/aromatase inhibitors.
Inhibiting the enzyme itself can increase testosterone and lower estrogen. Aromatase inhibitors can be useful as single supplements to take in order to switch the body to a more androgenic state.
Increasing testosterone by other means, such as hypothalamic stimulation (see: D-Aspartic Acid and possibly Anacyclus pyrethrum), can yield more testosterone independent of this enzyme, and the enzyme's activity may be increased to compensate. In this scenario, supplementation with an aromatase inhibitor may be prudent to avoid the increase in estrogen caused by the increase in testosterone. It may not be needed (in the truest sense of the word) with nutraceuticals, but would still be a good idea regardless.
For a list of supplements to take to boost testosterone, see the increasing testosterone supplement stack.
'Steroids' (the vague societal term for illicit drugs)
In regards to 'cycling' testosterone boosters, it is always a good idea to do so. Some of them do have side-effects that could be problematic if used excessively (Bulbine natalensis) and some have benign but undesirable side-effects only associated with prolonged usage (chronic usage of high doses of Ginger). Many others don't have these 'bad effects' since they are not studied as much, so it would still be prudent to cycle them.
Things that act in the testicles have adverse effects on the testicles like atrophy and may reduce HPTA stimulation over time if used too much, while compounds that act in the hypothalamus can cause symptoms of what people call 'adrenal fatigue' (vague enough term) where the hypothalamus starts to fatigue. Possible reason why abuse of D-Aspartic Acid, anecdotally, is associated with fatigue and ennui rather than mini-balls.
Anywho, this page is catered towards including every testosterone boosting 'supplement' that is claimed regardless of its actual efficacy in doing so; a very broad meta-page. For a concentrated list of the more promising ones, please refer to our testosterone boosting 'stack' page

Thursday, March 8, 2012
© Copyright 2015 Albany Herald
On the evening of Super Tuesday, a radiant Ann Romney stepped up to the microphone at a Boston rally and took her best shot at changing the subject.
"Do you know what women care about?" she said. "Women care about jobs. Women care about the economy. They care about their children, and they care about the debt."
Translation: Please, please, please stop asking my husband about Rush Limbaugh.
I hear you, sister.
As all of the country knows, Limbaugh called 30-year-old law student Sandra Fluke a "slut" and a "prostitute" and asked her to post online video of her sex life. Mitt Romney's response -- "it's not the language I would have used" -- didn't exactly close the distance between him and the millions of mothers whose hair was on fire.
We wanted fatherly outrage. He gave us a CEO's shrug.
I still am trying to figure out what exactly Republican presidential candidates think they're going to lose if they criticize Limbaugh for publicly trash talking a woman young enough to be their daughter. What part of their base are they afraid to alienate? Or claim, even?
Now, it could be I'm just spoiled -- being from Ohio and all.
Here in Cleveland, Dan Gilbert -- the majority owner of the Cleveland Cavaliers and the founder and chairman of Quicken Loans -- was one of the first to drop his advertising on Limbaugh's show after the pundit's vile. Yes, it's fair to ask what took him so long, but I always have told my kids you can't ask someone to change and then not give him the chance to do it. Living the lecture here.
Secondly, I grew up with a dad who liked to sit on the front porch with a baseball bat on his lap whenever a boy showed up to date one of his daughters. He never used it. Then again, he never had to. He laid the ground rules early. It used to drive me crazy, of course, to have every boy be so afraid of my dad. Still, I did feel that special brand of ain't-I-special teenage confidence born of fatherly love and boyfriend paranoia. In retrospect, a blissful time.
Back to Ann Romney. She's right, of course. Women do care about the economy. And children. And debt. And it's nice to hear at least one Republican acknowledge that.
However, we women are complicated creatures, capable of holding any number of thoughts in our heads. At the same time, too. Nothing but trouble for the Romneys of the world.
We're also good at connecting the dots. I'll go so far as to say we're annoyingly good at it, which is why our concern for the economy (dot) fuels our demand for affordable health care (dot) that includes low-cost contraception (dot), which is way cheaper than a full-term pregnancy (dot), not to mention what it costs to raise a child to 18 years of age (dot).
Dot. Dot. Dot. Dot. Dot.
Oh, and the majority of us believes abortion should remain legal (dot) because we trust women (dot) to make their own decisions (dot) about their bodies (dot).
Dot. Dot. Dot. Dot.
We're on fire, I swear.
And I'm just talking about the women in Ohio, where we've had it up to here with the state Legislature's attempts to reclassify us as branded cattle. I appreciate Mrs. Romney's attempt to focus on jobs, but we already heard that campaign promise in 2010. Two months later, we had pregnant women exposing their bellies for ultrasound "testimony" in the Republican-controlled state House.
They're all yours, Mitt Romney. Welcome to the circus.
One more thing you should know before you come back to Ohio. We're big on dogs here, and I'm afraid we know all about poor roof-strappin' Seamus.
I think you know where I'm going with this. I'm not going to harp. I leave that to New York Times columnist Gail Collins, a fellow native Ohioan.
She's done our state proud, with her Midwestern connect-the-dots stick-to-it-ness.
There I go again, braggin' about our women.

When my two and five year old asked for more, I had to rate this four stars.flag if inappropriate
I made these for my daughter's 2nd birthday party - everyone loved them.flag if inappropriate
Whenever I read recipe reviews saying "my family loved this," or "this was something my family enjoyed preparing together," I find myself wishing I had a big family to cook for. So, if a recipe like this can help those of you with a whole houseful to call to the table at mealtime remember what a blessing you have, then I say more power to it!flag if inappropriate
The cook writes about serving 12 children. Well this kid loved this snack, even though it is 'only' a grilled cheese sandwich. The 'waffle' effect is great! We loved it.flag if inappropriate
So many great recipes and so little time! This recipe brought the whole family together and made us all remember the simple pleasures in life.flag if inappropriate
Folks get a grip. I have used the Epicurious website for years and have never been compelled to write before. I just made this recipe for a group of 20 6 year olds who absolutely loved it. They each got to grill their own sandwich, decorate their own cupcakes, and finally were able to participate in making a meal. Most of these kids thought all food came from a can, a package, a restaurant or McDonalds since their parents don't cook. Think of the target audience before you make your comments. Is is meant to be fun for kids, not meant as a gourmet meal for the upper crust of society.flag if inappropriate
To previous reviewer: Chill out dude/dudette - you have way too much anger going on.... Save it for what counts, ya know??! This is a fun sandwich to make with the kids and I, frankly, never thought about using a waffle iron to make grilled cheese. Go make a cheese waffle and have glass of wine!flag if inappropriate
My mom did this for my brother and me 40 plus years ago and we made so much fun of her using the waffle iron! She got a real kick out of it when I showed her this recipe and said "see I was way ahead of my time". Some of you people need to get a grip and lighten up!flag if inappropriate
I'm a Brit, and when I was growing up, grilled cheese sandwiches were not standard fare. So even though I'm a perfectly competent cook, I was actually quite pleased to have a clear recipe for making a good one! My kids had great fun with them too. Why do reviewers like the cook from Miami feel the need to snipe and make spiteful remarks on a site like this? Epicurious is a website for cooks of all skill levels and differing requirements in a recipe. I presume he/she was the "offended" reviewer originally. How can any rational person be offended by a harmless recipe on a cookery website? And as another reviewer pointed out, this one came from a feature on party food for kids, so it was entirely appropriate too.flag if inappropriate
isn't this forum supposed to be about reviewing the recipe? my review: i thought it was great fun for the kids to whom it was targeted. so great to get them involved in cooking at a young age thus it was also fun for me. not sure they would have been able to handle Lamb Souvlaki Sandwiches with Greek Salad and Tsatsiki Sauce. :-)flag if inappropriate

When Is a Policy Not a Policy? When Reporters Want To Talk to EPA Staff
For some years now, under multiple administrations, journalists who have called EPA scientists and other experts asking to talk to them about matters large and small have almost universally been told something like, "I'm not allowed to talk to news media without Press Office permission." Yet EPA officials maintain they do not have a press policy. SEJ's WatchDog filed June 10, 2014 the first of what will be an ongoing series of FOIA requests to get to the bottom of this ironic situation.

First Saab automobile among the 123 cars being sold from Saab's museum
Photo courtesy Saab
It's a wrap. India's Tata, ostensibly the savior of Jaguar, has been sniffing around Saab a little, but that's a faint hope at best for the brand. By Friday, it'll be too late by far for their physical heritage, as Swedish bankruptcy administrator Delphi liquidates the company's museum along with everything else.
That's 123 cars (and who knows what else; show up with an envelope full of kronor and you could probably walk out with all their production records, as well), going all the way back to 1946, with the so-called "Ursaab," Saab 92 chassis 92001, the first built. Forward, it includes concept cars, multiple race cars, one-offs and regular production examples all the way up to 2010. According to auction documents, "For bidders wishing to continue operating the museum in the existing premises, there may be an opportunity to acquire spare parts, workshop inventory, office and conference inventory and souvenirs."
Of them all, I might like the Aero X concept car the best. I'm not sure if it's the roller or the show version, but odds are it's the driveable one. It's a sad reminder of a moment when it seemed like Saab was going to be the future.
I managed to nab the .pdf lot listing in Swedish before Delphi yanked it (no explanation why), but Saab's former frontman Steven Wade has been dutifully posting the entire thing in English (in one enormous post you don't want to open on a slow connection/computer). Delphi is apparently entertaining all bids, on individual cars and the whole collection, from anyone. All bids must be in by Friday, January 20, when the last pieces of the 66-year-old car company are no more.
Detroit for sale, some assembly required
I never thought about it, but it makes sense that Chrysler, GM and to a lesser extent, Ford, would be unloading major assets as they slim down and scratch around for cash. Taking expensive facilities off the books is a classic way to look more profitable than you actually are.
But since I hadn't been paying attention, I had no idea of the scale of the liquidation. It's not just pieces, but entire plants being offered – engines, transmissions, bodies – everything. In fact, with a little ingenuity and several billion dollars of working capital (surely there's a way to extract what those dolts at Cerberus stripped from Chrysler?), you could be in business.
Waylon forever!

By Gerry Frederics
Ernst Neumann was a restless designer, painter, sculptor and creator of some of the very first Micro-Cars in Germany; he was forever marching to a different drummer being much maligned and even called `crazy´ by some of his lesser (to be sure!) contemporaries. He had set out to build a minimal car, envisioning the Fend concept of many years later. He did not call his creations `cars´ but rather Fahrmachinen, which loosely translated means `Machines to be driven´.
He was born 3-9-1871 in the Hessian city of Kassel birthplace of the last Russian Tsarina the very beautiful and cultured German princess Alexandra, murdered under horrendous conditions (gang-rapes etc) together with her lovely daughters, her son and loving husband, Tsar Nicolas by Jewish Bolsheviks (most of them from Hungary and Germany) at the orders of Lenin in Ekaterinburg Russia.
His birth name was Ernst Neumann, the `Neander´ being added many years later as a nom de plume.
He graduated from the Art Academy of Kassel and went to Munich to continue to study at the Art Academy there as well as to study at the technical Academy of Munich today the Technical University of Munich, the German equivalent (in every way!) to the justifiably famous American MIT. Initially he was very active as a painter, but unfortunately none of his work seems to have survived. It was probably destroyed during the horrible air raid on the non-industrial undefended city of Düren * which the English destroyed to 90% murdering about 50% of the women and children there bringing us Germans `democracy and the blessings of freedom´ via phosphor and block-buster bombs being dropped on hospitals, schools and refugee centers in inimitable Anglo-American fashion.
* It was Düren which was visited by the British Jewish businessman Mr. Gollancs in 1946 who infuriated British government barbarians by documenting the horror visited upon this civilian population center by the democ-Rats. He predictably did not make many friends amongst his brethren by pointing out British barbarities but honorable man that he was, he never changed his story and never `apologized´ for telling the truth. Thank you Mr. Gollancs!
Early on he designed automobiles the most magnificent of which was commissioned by the Berlin coach works Szabwe. This car was truly beautiful and was build of wood and aluminum, mounted on a chassis by NAG, at the time one of Europe´s premier Automobile and truck manufacturers. NAG was later acquired by competitor Büssing. The cost of this magnificent machine was stupendous. Consequently only few were produced; a beautifully restored example exists in an automotive museum in Denmark.
Soon he began to concentrate on large motor cycles (powered by British J.A.P. engines) which were successful in the market. The frame of these bikes, known as the `Neander Frame´ was sold to Opel for usage in their magnificent large bike; see the essay on Opel. Neander bikes competed successfully in many races within Germany and were worthy competition to the likes of other J.A.P. powered bikes such as Hecker, Tornax, Bücker or UT - burning up the race tracks. It was during this time-period, that he also designed and marketed `Neander´ side-cars, albeit not with too much success; the side-car market was glutted with average to fabulous side-cars – way over 50 manufacturers in all and even tough his machines were very attractive, they did not really offer anything which could not be had from any other well established manufacturer.
It was at that time that he settled in the lovely town of Düren (about 1920) where he began a lifetime obsession, namely the design of minimal-cars. Initially he had envisioned a sort of Volkswagen, a car anyone could afford. This was however a dream which he never realized. His creations were 3-wheelers suitable for competition and sporting events rather than family transportation. He used principals of light-weight aircraft construction combined with motor cycle techniques to create wild and wooly machines. As his power source he used British Norton 350-or 500-cc single cylinder 4 stroke motor cycle engines, something he did not change throughout the building cycle of these machines. He designed and build these 3-wheelers (and a minimal 4-wheeler as well) until the outbreak of the war. What he did during the war is not reported. Production of his `Fahrmachinen´ was limited to a few dozen, for the cost as with all limited-production machines was rather high and the appeal was strictly limited to the esoteric few.
Immediately after the war he set about to finish the construction of a wild and wooly 3-wheeler built according to the `Schwenker´ system. This machine had first been contemplated when he spied an Imperial Schwenker-type side car in 1936. The idea had never left him and he began designing a sports car using these principals in early 1940. The realities of war-time material shortages and the like put a temporary stop to his work after he had almost finished the project in 1943; this truly wild machine which tilted in the corners, thereby eliminating the 3-wheelers occasionally nasty habit of overturning if driven too enthusiastically was thought by him to solve a myriad of handling problems; he was determined to bring the 3-wheelers into the mainstream.
Due to interior space constraints the machine had no brake pedal – one had to pull on the steering wheel to bring the car to a halt - clearly a bit absurd and totally unacceptable on the market place. This adventurous machine shows how far removed from reality Neumann had become because the times called for simple, straightforward transportation machines such as the ones designed and built by Herr Holbein or Herr Kleinschnittger. What engine he used as well as production numbers (if any) has not been reported. He must have had some influential friends amongst the allied occupation government, for he designed and build this machine at a time, when ALL German industry was being relentlessly plundered and when Germans were in fact prohibited from producing or designing anything in access of 74 cc-s displacement; another thing which they prohibited was a German radio station transmitting on the AM waveband. The result was the German development - one can say invention of FM - today the standard of the world (surprise, surprise)!
We owe the photograph to an obscure American technical publication otherwise we would know only of the existence of such a car but would have no idea what it looked like much less, what it looked like in action. Thanks Yanks, many of you are ok! What happened to this last Neander is not known and what, if anything Ernst Neumann did until his death in 1954 has also disappeared in the mists of history; despite his never achieving his dream of a viable `Fahrmachine´ his genius is undoubted and he deserves to be remembered as a multi-talented iconoclast in motor cycle and automotive history.
Today in the year 2009 a politically correct Zeitgeist-pimp has resurrected some of these cars and has restored them to pristine condition; even tough he slobbers over ancient Harley Davidson engines (he must be mentally disturbed), his work with the Neander machines must be mentioned with respect, for his workmanship is fabulous. It is quite amazing, even German scum produces marvelous machinery!

Across The Line Reviews 'Zero For Conduct'
A few years back, Andrew Ferris was a colourful guitar-slasher and full-on enthusiast with Derry act Cuckoo. They'd signed a grand deal with Geffen Records, but could never find a comfortable place between the mainstream and the underground. It ended badly, but Ferris was smart enough to gain from the experience.
So, Jetplane Landing, his new project, has integrity, cool and a passionate reason for being out there. The act also features Sussex brothers Jamie (bass) and Raife Burchell, and it was recorded at their parent's garage at week-ends. Thus far, the interest has been flagged up by mates, web action and visitors to their current shows. Now they have a record label, distribution and many fave reviews in the music mags, some of them keen to regard JPL as an of-the-moment 'emo' act.
But this is intelligent, unique music, beyond trends. You can hear bits of J Mascis, Pavement, the pained swoon of Elliott Smith and the politicised, hectoring style of say, The Make-Up or At The Drive-In. The tunes are wonderful and the guitar action is surprisingly odd. Take 'Underground Queen' as an example of the band's tender aspect, a bruised farewell to life as it was.
Or for a revving contrast, try 'This Is Not Revolution Rock', a bunch of jittering slogans, looking for meaning beyond the easy dogma. "Cancel your subscription to love's young dream," Andrew bellows. But of course, the whole album is still spiked with romanticism and the supposed clarity of youth. Contradictions: don't you love them?
He cusses plenty, waffles about Pythagoras and gets so emotional at times that the words are tumbling, spinning out of reach. And of course, the listener has been here also, sharing in the anxiety, and pain and frustration. Which is why a lot more people will be subscribing to this particular young dream in the coming months.

Wilkinson facing further tests
25 August 2005 17:09pm
Jonny Wilkinson's hopes of starting the new season on schedule could be ruined by his latest fitness setback.
Wilkinson was admitted to hospital in Tokyo during Newcastle's recent pre-season tour to Japan suffering from an inflamed appendix, and is now undergoing further tests on his return home.
Although his club boss, Newcastle rugby director Rob Andrew, is hopeful that England World Cup hero Wilkinson won't require surgery, an operation is still possible.
If Wilkinson, whose career since the 2003 World Cup has been blighted by repeated injury setbacks, requires surgery, then he could be out for up to six weeks.
"Jonny is having further tests to see the nature of the inflamed appendix, which is what he has had," said Andrew, at the Guinness Premiership launch in London.
"We are hopeful that it has settled sufficiently to allow him not to have an operation to remove his appendix. That is the position.
"A normal appendix operation would put him out for between four and six weeks.
"It is unlikely at this stage, albeit there is a one in three chance that an inflamed appendix will return within a period of time."
Newcastle, England and Wilkinson are desperate for him to enjoy an injury-free run.
So-called "stinger" injuries to his neck and shoulder, plus two knee injuries, had the combined effect of keeping him out of England action since his drop-goal won the World Cup in Sydney almost two years ago.
England kick off their Autumn international series against Australia on November 12, and Wilkinson showed during the recent British & Irish Lions tour of New Zealand that he needs games under his belt.
While Wilkinson awaits his tests results, another high-profile Premiership player also faces a delayed entry to the new campaign.
Saracens' rugby league recruit, former Great Britain captain Andy Farrell, had hoped to make his union debut in a pre-season friendly against Harlequins on Saturday.
But the toe injury that forced him out of last week's game against Bedford will keep him on the sidelines.
"Andy has been training full-time since June 27. He picked up a toe injury last week, and he is like any player in that if he is not 100 per cent fit, we won't consider him," said Saracens head coach Steve Diamond.
Diamond also confirmed that England flanker Richard Hill faces a battle to play at all this season after sustaining another serious knee injury.
Hill was hurt during the Lions' first Test defeat against the All Blacks in Christchurch, having only recovered a few months previously from another knee problem that hit his season.
"Richard has suffered an horrendous recurrence of a knee injury, so we probably won't see much of him this season," added Diamond.
"If we do see him this season, then it will be in the latter months of two."

Re: BNA Losers Club 2013
Well I didn't kill them, I'm a vegan you know!
Re: BNA Losers Club 2013
This is waaaaay off topic - but I don't know any vegans. Can I ask you some questions? I've often considered it on moral grounds, because I'm very much an animal lover (and occasional dog-fosterer) - but there's just a few things that hold me back.
- firstly, veganism is fully no animal products (milk, eggs) at all, isn't it?
- did you ever eat meat? How did you give it up? This is my second biggest problem - I love meat! It's one of my favourite foods!
- if you used to eat meat, but gave it up, how did your body react/adjust? This is my biggest concern - from a life of being a carnivore, I'm quite concerned about how my body would react.
- how do you get the iron, protein and other vitamins that most people get from meat? I know the diet and exercise routine that I'm on is heavy on protein, including meal replacement protein shakes - but eating heavy protein foods like meat and eggs are another critical element of it.
- how do you look after your bones without dairy?
- did you get to veganism via vegetarianism?
- does it make shopping hard? Do you have to make everything from scratch? For anything "pre-packaged" do you have to spend hours in the supermarket reading labels?
I might have some more questions later, but I wont burden you too much for now. From a moral perspective, I would love to be able to not have any animals suffer or killed at my hands - but I'm a bit (actually, I'm very) concerned about the practicalities of what I would be left with and the health implications of such a massive lifestyle change. (I already suck at remembering to take the pills and vitamins that I already have...)
Re: BNA Losers Club 2013
Re: BNA Losers Club 2013
Thanks for that Shann. I might do some research during my grocery shop tomorrow.
I'm just thinking that I've changed my entire diet to a lot of fruit and veg. I've already cut out things like chocolate and cheese. I don't know anything about Paleo, but my friend says that my diet is pretty similar to Paleo, so maybe that's a good way to describe it.
The only dairy I really have left is yoghurt.
My problem would be that every one of my daily main meal is based around either meat or veg.
Presumably there's plenty of vegan cook books that you can get? Are there any that you could recommend I have a look at?
As I mentioned earlier in this thread, I'm already part of the Losers club, and have shed 45kgs since Sept last year. I still have another 30kgs or so to go to be in a healthy weight range (although the gym I go to has really high tech scales that measure fat, muscle, water etc, so that number changes according to muscle mass.)
How much muscle did you lose when you made the switch?
I know that realistically, you as a vegan are probably likely to tell interested people to "just do it" - but hopefully you can consider this from my perspective and advise, would you wait until I'm closer to a goal weight to try veganism? Or would you just do it straight away and focus on a protein-heavy vegan diet?
What sort of foods have the "hidden" animal products? I guess what I'm really asking is what's your "Christmas treat"? For me, in the midst of my diet, the only break from that diet (my "Christmas treat") was some blue cheese and a can of fanta - can you eat some flavour potato chips? Can you drink soft drink? (In many ways, it would be better if I couldn't drink soft drink!)
As I mentioned in my previous post, the moral "obligation" is my main reason for doing this... but I can't help but think that, after I spent 10 years eating, there's a lot of positives personally in this type of lifestyle as well. If I can give up meat, it certainly removes the temptation to stop by maccas for a cheese burger after a bad day (even after my worst days I restrain myself!)
My final question stems from your post - would you say you did it more for moral reasons, or is it just because of the gross things you saw growing up, the eating of pets etc?
Re: BNA Losers Club 2013
For me, it was easy to go veg because my reason (about moral obligations) and my feelings (about animals I had liked and eaten) were telling me the same thing. I think it's harder if there's a disagreement there. I was also young!
Maybe try making a gradual change. Give yourself time to make the switch. Buy some tempeh, and instead of making chicken peanut satay, make tempeh peanut satay. Tempeh is pretty filling and people we've served it to have been like, 'I didn't think you ate chicken'. I don't recommend buying a whole fridge full of vegan protein things and forcing yourself to eat them. Some things - like tofu - I have only just now come to like, and even then I can only deal with certain kinds of tofu. Go gently and you'll soon work out what will work for you.
How much muscle did I lose when I switched? No idea - I wasn't muscular to begin with, I was a teenage girl who didn't exercise beyond walking. (Like lots of girls, doing sport became embarrassing once the !! BAN ME NOW FOR SWEARING !! happened). I think that if you keep eating protein and keep working out you'll be fine.
As for additives, food labelling is much more helpful now. They have to say if they contain milk or egg, and if your packet says it 'contains traces' of those things then you know they're not actual ingredients. You can google around and find a list of what the numbers mean; some of them are quite weird. It's up to you how far you go, veganism isn't a religion, and it's not an absolute, it's about avoiding where possible.
Re: BNA Losers Club 2013
Thanks again Shann...
Yeah, I think I would do it gradually - I would at least need to go via vegetarianism I think... I wouldn't be able to cut out meat and eggs at once, because they're the staples of my protein rich diet.
I will mention it to my doctor next time I see him though and see what he thinks about the effects on muscle "waste" and wellbeing though.
Re: BNA Losers Club 2013
I've never done the vegan thing, but I've been vegetarian for extended periods a few times [1].
I echo the warning about going for a cheap student vego diet. My second time, we spent ~6 months eating masses of rice and pasta, topped with a herb/spice/vegetable "sauce", and got fat. This was the '90s, before terms like "low carb" had any currency, but we came to the conclusion that is quite obvious now - we just ate waaaay too many carbs and nowhere near enough protein. Even though we were eating eggs and dairy. I was kind of aiming for low-fat, as much as possible, because that was the common knowledge of the time - and thought I was doing pretty well at avoiding fat by not eating meat.
But damn we ate cheap
i was perfectly fit and healthy while vego - other than progressively packing on the weight. No muscle wastage or obvious nutrient deficiencies. I think my digestive system prefers a vegetarian diet.
[1] I have no real ethical problem with eating animals, but I acknowledge that meat is massively resource-intensive (and pollution-intensive) to produce. You could feed dozens of people with the vegetable matter required to grow meat to feed one person. Given that it's possible to live without eating meat, I don't believe I have a right to eat all those peoples' food (recycled through animals). But... my beliefs aren't strong enough to be bothered with the practicalities of being vego, when my wife and family aren't interested in doing the same. Given that I'm eating meat, I just suck up the cognitive dissonance and eat a "normal" omnivorous diet, making no real effort to eat _less_ meat.
Re: BNA Losers Club 2013
No strict diet or anything, just have a sense of trying to eat well. I'm not going to go stupid and eat grilled chicken and steamed vegatbales for every meal, but i'll avoid fast food and those things that are obviously bad for me. I don't see the strict diet as something I could maintain for life.
I contribute 4 things to my weightloss.
1: I cut out as much sugar as I could. It's always a been a problem for me and gaining weight. Avoid it where I can, but don't stress too much about incidental intake.
2: Portion control. I've always eaten too much, even of decent food. Cutting my portions cuts my energy intake to more appropriate levels
3: Exercise. I ride around 150-200km a week at reasonable intensity. This year i'm focussing on more climbing and it's certainly helping to drop the weight. I'll start to add some running into the mix to shift the last few kgs.
4: The biggest change... Alcohol. Obviously related to item 1 and sugar intake. I've reduced my alcohol intake significantly... significantly. At my heaviest I was drinking a lot. Too much... to the point of being a high functioning alcoholic. 4-5 pints of heavy beer per night, every night. I was feeling crap, no energy, could hardly keep up with the kids, was always tired and lethargic. My health was dropping off fast and the weight going up even faster. I still have the occasional here and there, but it's nothing like before.
It all came about after I lost my job through redundancy and decided to change my life. So I bought a bike, and the rest is history. Now in the shape of my life, weigh less than I ever have as an adult and feeling great.
Re: BNA Losers Club 2013
I'm in. Lost 6kg during 2012, mainly (80%) eating Paleo type diet (grass-fed meat, seafood, plenty of vegs, some fruit, nuts and seeds).
This year I really want to clean up my eating, the 20% I didn't do well was all the sweets and chocs I had inbetween.

Re: BNA Losers Club 2013
Worth posting a February update. It's all good news!
Height is 179cm.
Sept 2012: 179kgs (starting weight)
End Nov 2012: 157kg (this is when I commenced going to the gym - the previous 22kgs had been lost by diet)
2 Jan 2013: 141kg (this was my first post here)
15 Feb 2013: 134kg.
I was initially disappointed that my weight loss slowed down so much - but the very high tech scales at the gym reckon that the last 23kgs (since beginning at the gym) is pretty much all fat loss. This is significant because most people's weight loss includes 20-25% muscle loss. It's now clear to me that initial weight loss before I went to the gym was a lot of muscle.
Here's some other impressive numbers, after realising this week that my clothes are ridiculously big. So I just went to Target, because I'll have to replace these clothes again by June.
Shirt size:
Sept 2012 - 60/9xl
Feb 2013 - 50/4xl
Tshirt size:
Sept 2012 - 7xl (in very big sizing)
Feb 2013 - 3xl (in Target's notoriously small sizing)
Shorts size:
Sept 2012 - 6xl
Feb 2013 - 3xl (and now that I'm wearing them, I wish I'd gone the 2xl)
Pants size:
Sept 2012 - 132
Feb 2013 - 117
I must've sounded crazy when I was in the fitting room trying all this stuff on and realising a) how much smaller these clothes are, and b) how much better I look. I was giggling like a schoolgirl

Round of applause for fatdudeonabike
Re: BNA Losers Club 2013
Thanks dudes - but really, no applause necessary! I obviously started from a very high base, and as I said in my first post in this thread - I didn't start eating better, or going to the gym, or riding a bike because I grew up, became responsible and realised that I looked like a blimp and needed to change my life.
It was just a case that I was sick to death of my car accident-induced back injury, and my weight was stopping it getting better.
I'm only just past half way, and I'm so grateful for the kind words and the well wishers - but it'll mean much more to me when I hit 99kgs
Re: BNA Losers Club 2013
Great work, fatdudeonabike, what an inspiration. And here I am bellyaching about the 6-7kgs I want to lose!
Re: BNA Losers Club 2013
I've been wanting to get in on this club but late last year I broke my ankle so I've had to put cycling it off on hold.
However i've been eating right and have lost 4kg down to 118kg in 6 weeks. Plan is to get down to 80kg by the end of the year.
Re: BNA Losers Club 2013
Down to 95.0kg from 99.9kg this year so far... 1,500 km of riding done... Eating well and doing daily push-ups and sit-ups as well...
89.9 kg is my first major target for the year and then go on from there...
Getting the food right has been the hardest part of the journey, keeping it right is taking a level of discipline that is quite challenging!!! But, going to make it happen!!!
Loving my Merida's and working towards adding a Pinarello to the stable... Go go go...
Re: BNA Losers Club 2013
That's awesome man - see, this is why I have a hard time accepting too much praise for my weight loss. As I said in my first post in this thread "the number" was never my goal, it's not a motivation. Riding and swimming speed and distance are my goal - and I'm envious of a dude being able to ride that much in the pursuit of weight loss.
When I started I could only ride 10km at a time - even now I can only ride 25km each way. Congrats dude - I'm jealous
Re: BNA Losers Club 2013
Cripes! Good luck! That's gunna be a tough gig - 118kg isn't that high of a base to be able to lose 40kg, so that's gunna require a lot of riding!
It's the cool thing about weightloss by cycling though I reckon - because you're using the muscles in your legs, you'll maintain, or even grow them. I know that I love the idea that my power output is going to be the same or better when I'm 30kg lighter
Re: BNA Losers Club 2013
I'm building up for 100k daily round trips - should be good.
Eating right and having everything you need really helps too with the mental aspect of losing weight
Re: BNA Losers Club 2013
There's also a lot of great resources online if you are interested. http://www.drfuhrman.com/library/vegan_athlete.pdf
Actually, a well designed paleo and well designed vegan diet should like pretty similar, just swap the protein. http://www.drfuhrman.com/library/article5.aspx
There are heaps of recipes online. Admittedly, a lot seem to be for vegan desserts but... there are a lot for main meals too. Just google search for vegan dinner. You might be surprised at the options:
I would advise you to do some research and find out how to design a good vegan diet before switching. After all:
There are some deficiencies to be aware of (which is common to all diets) and you might need some supplementation. Maybe start a thread on veganism if you want more info. Hope this helps!

Been about a month since my initial post, so time for a March update...
Feb: 104kg
Current: 98.9kg
Goal: 92kg
Below 100kg and determined to stay under permanently now
Re: BNA Losers Club 2013
So during February I think the weight loss from January went to my head and I abused my body thinking fat loss was easy.
I lost nothing during February, I consumed alcohol like there was no tomorrow, my diet weened slowly away from healthy and exercise was still there.
March started and I was determined to get back on track.
I have also entered my first MTB race, The Kona 24hour. Training for that has given me something to work towards.
As of today March 7th, stats as follows:
Age: 24
Heaviest - 122.6kgs.
Goal weight - 85-90kgs.
January 1st 2013 - 118.9kgs
February 1st 2013 - 112.4kgs
March 7th 2013 - 110.8kgs
Total weight loss of 8.1kgs for 2013.

Maui firefighters and the Coast Guard were searching for two paragliders off of Maui's south shore since Wednesday evening.
At around 7:17 p.m. Wednesday, witnesses say they saw what appeared to be two paragliders enter the water about a half mile to three miles off of Keawakapu Beach.
An ocean search was being conducted with the Maui County Fire Department's rescue boat along with a Coast Guard helicopter and a 45-foot-long rescue boat.
Fire rescue crews and the Coast Guard did not find any signs of paragliders in the ocean. There was no other information from paraglider rental companies, paraglider pilots, friends or family members reporting that anyone was missing.
The search ended Thursday at noon.

Enroll In a 529 Plan:
Make up for lost savings in your 529 plan
Posted: 2010-09-24 - Christina Couch is a freelance writer living in Chicago.
Yesterday she was in diapers; now she's prepping for the SATs. Where did the time go? More importantly, where are the college savings you planned to accumulate by now? For parents who need to make up years of savings fast, here are four last-minute places to find cash for your 529 plan.
Tap into relatives
If an aging relative knows that their time is coming soon, they can give their beneficiaries more by investing in a 529 plan rather than gifting directly.
"Normally, people can only gift up to $13,000 per year ($26,000 for joint filers) before incurring gift tax, but 529 plans have a special rule that allows people to gift five years at a time," says Carl Friedrich, a Certified Financial Planner with Friedrich Wealth Management in Syosset, N.Y. "(Joint filing) relatives who want to leave money can invest up to $130,000 into a 529 plan without paying gift tax."
Friedrich adds that the caveat is especially important to elderly relatives looking to give away their estate by gifting. Instead of handing over $13,000 cash and paying tax on the rest, donors who would like to gift large sums can get more tax-free mileage out of their money by investing it in a 529 plan for their recipient.
Delay the inevitable
"Clients should leave their money in a 529 plan as long as possible," says Mark Atherton, a Certified Financial Planner with Ticknor, Atherton & Associates in Reston, Va. "If they can fund the first years of college using different assets, that gives their money more time to grow."
Families that plan to take out student loans can stash away money in their 529 plan while using the student loan to pay for the initial college years. Then, they can use cash from a 529 plan to pay for the rest. While undergrad Stafford loans have a low 4.5 percent fixed rate this year, parents could find a better deal in home equity, says Dan Goldie, president of Dan Goldie Financial Services, LLC in Menlo Park, Calif. .
"If you're in a state that offers a (state income) tax deduction for your 529 contribution, it might be attractive to borrow from home equity. Put (the money) in the 529, get the tax deduction and let the money grow for a few years," says Goldie. "If the tax savings plus the interest on the 529 investment is greater than the cost of the loan, that could be a sensible investment."
Get shifty
The simplest way to get 529 funds is to pull them from somewhere else.
"The 529 tax advantages are probably going to outweigh the interest gained on a CD or money market account," explains Kevin Worthley, a Certified Financial Planner with the Retirement Planning Co. of New England in Warwick, R.I. "You can also move funds from taxable brokerage accounts."
Families that shift assets from a savings account in their child's name can also improve their financial-aid eligibility. Since the federal government assesses assets in the child's name at a higher rate than parental assets when doling out financial aid, moving money from accounts in Junior's name into a 529 plan will provide federal tax advantages and potentially bigger government grants.
There's a catch. Pulling out of a CD early could cause you to lose some, perhaps all, of the interest accrued on the investment while pulling out of brokerage accounts can rack up hefty tax consequences.
"You can't move stock directly into a 529 plan. You have to sell it first and pay taxes," adds Worthley.
Take a loss
Thomas Donovan, a Certified Public Accountant with Marvin and Co., P.C., in Latham, N.Y., says that families with stocks in the gutter may be able to find college cash by taking a capital loss.
"If a brokerage account has lost money, the account holders can withdraw and declare a loss," says Donovan. "If that loss exceeds their capital gains for that year, they can claim up to a $3,000 tax deduction and reinvest that in a 529."
On top of the capital loss deduction, account holders who go that route could also get a state tax deduction if they reinvest in their home state's 529 plan.
In addition, investors can take a loss on a sunken 529 account, but the rules are dramatically different. To do so, account holders must liquidate their 529 plan, incurring a 10 percent penalty on any interest earned, and they'll have to pay federal and potentially state taxes, according to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Once the 529 plan is liquidated, account holders can claim the loss as a miscellaneous itemized deduction.
"That's not the same as a capital loss," says Goldie. "529 losses get lumped into the section where you declare employee reimbursements and advisory and tax-prep fees. If those things together are greater than 2 percent of your adjusted gross income, that's the only way you get the deduction."
For a single account holder with a $60,000 income, the loss on a 529 plan plus all other miscellaneous deductions must total $1,200 to claim the deduction. If the 529 lost $2,000, the account holder could claim an $800 deduction, which may not outweigh the penalties incurred by liquidating the account.
"I'd love to tell parents that there's a great way to make up for lost (college savings) time, but there's really not," says Friedrich. "These are incremental things you can do, but there's no magic potion."

Long planned and anticipated, the first production-version hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEV) are rolling out and more are on their way. Mass-market models from Honda, Hyundai and Toyota are in the works. They are an important solution — along with plug-in electric vehicles — for reducing our carbon emissions and achieving our goals of putting more zero-emission vehicles on the road. As I have written before, FCEVs have advantages of greater driving range and faster refueling. Questions arise, however, about just how clean these vehicles are if the early models rely on hydrogen produced from natural gas — a fossil fuel. Read More

Mmmmmmmm! Love Diet Cherry Coke!! :D
I entered 11 codes all but 2 did not double and they were diet coke for sure and now its saying ive hit my limit. The last time they did double coke points I hit my limit as well. I thought it was unlimited??
I think you can do 10 codes per week.
You can do up to 120 points per week but this does not include bonus points, plus they are offering unlimited bonus points on diet coke only.
Hopefully it works this time. I entered my limit back on Cinco de Mayo and none of them doubled. They weren't clear on their wording that it was for full-calorie coke, apparently.
I entered a diet coke 12 pack that I've had for a while and it didn't double. I wonder if it's because it was a limited edition can…but still annoying because it is definitely a 12 pack of diet coke!
I had no problem with my diet codes but if I were you, I would contact customer service as I've always had a good experience with them. I'm certain that they will help you get your points!
heres a code for anyone who wants it- i had to buy some diet coke for my MIL coming to visit..
i hope thats right, lol, those dots are hard to read!
nope it's not right :( It says there is an error
They are really pushing diet coke for summer…
I know that your "oh"s are actually zeros and your "s"s are actually fives but the rest I can't guess for you.
I had four that didn't work, all diet cherry coke. What a disappointment!
All of mine worked today – I entered 6 total.

Frankie Dettori's solicitor wants BHA to reconsider delay
Frankie Dettori's solicitor wants the British Horseracing Authority licensing committee to reconsider its decision to delay the jockey's return to action.
The BHA is waiting for the French racing authorities to renew his licence which was delayed by "medical issues".
Dettori, 42, was given a six-month ban after testing positive for cocaine in September following a race in Paris.
"This story gets more and more confusing. Last week, Frankie Dettori, banned for six months for testing positive for cocaine while riding in Paris in September, gave a major television interview talking about his shame of the incident but looking ahead to his imminent return.
"Unexpectedly on Friday, French racing authority France Galop failed to give the final go-ahead for the comeback but they still cleared him to ride in Britain. However, their British counterparts said that was not good enough for them.
"France Galop says it continues to require details from Dettori on an unspecified medical matter, but the fact these details apparently still haven't been delivered just adds to the mystery of it all."
Christopher Stewart-Moore said: "What we are are looking for is a further hearing with the licensing committee."
The solicitor added: "The committee has already decided he is fit and ready to race, and there should be nothing to stop him."
Dettori's return to action has been delayed as France Galop - French racing's governing body - seek talks with the former champion jockey.
Media relations manager Julien Pescatore said: "We're waiting for him to get back to us over medical issues."
Stewart-Moore confirmed he is waiting for a response from the BHA about a further meeting and added: "Frankie is very willing to pay for, and subject himself to, further tests in the first six months of his return."
The BHA stopped Dettori's proposed comeback at Leicester on Monday because of the issue with France Galop.
The jockey's representatives are keen to get the Italian-born rider back in action ahead of the Derby on 1 June, and he had hoped to ride at Nottingham on Tuesday and Lingfield and Kempton on Wednesday.
"It remains the situation that the BHA is awaiting either clearance from France regarding Frankie Dettori or an understanding of the reason why France Galop does not consider him fit to ride," BHA spokesman Robin Mounsey said.
Frankie Dettori factfile
- Born: Milan, 15 December 1970 (age 42)
- Major British wins: 1000 Guineas (3 times), 2000 Guineas (2), Epsom Oaks (3), Epsom Derby (1), St Leger (5)
- Champion Jockey: 1994, 1995, 2004
- Honorary MBE: 2000
"At present France Galop is exercising its right not to disclose this information.
"Clearance from France was always one of the criteria needed before Dettori could be issued his licence to ride in Britain and this was made clear by the BHA's licensing committee at its meeting with Frankie Dettori on 14 May."
BHA chief executive Paul Bittar told Australian radio station RSN Racing & Sport: "We are really looking forward to having Frankie back once he's cleared all the hurdles in France, and hopefully he does.
"Frankie is probably the best-known jockey in the world. He's been a great ambassador for British racing for a long time and we are fortunate that we have many of the world's leading riders based here in the summer."
