Thanks yes I like the lights too. I dont think you can see but there are speakers in the ceiling which are nice to have. I like this room because it's just a big box, nothing fancy, just a good space.

New entertainment / play room. Prior to this it was an enclosed porch in horrible condition from the previous owner. Made it into useful space. We are really happy with it. Good for the kids during the day, and catching a movie at night. Midway through: and when it was mostly...

I actually like this one i might try it. The first three were not my thing. I could use the practice on cleans too.

Press like overhead/military/shoulder press. According to this you're at "elite" status at 275 with your bench:http://www.exrx.net/Testing/WeightLi...Standards.html So you simply may have maxed out and progress will be sloooow from here. Related...

Work on your press, eat more. That's all I can think of. How are your other lifts?

Go here:http://www.freedieting.com/tools/calorie_calculator.htm Get your maintenance calories and add 250 - 500 to that. Take measurements, pics and weigh yourself to gauge progress. If you're not gaining after two weeks or so bump it up. Make sure you get enough protein. You should do...

It's worth checking out your local crossfit yeah. I really like mine, but by the same token there are some bad ones out there. They should have a free class to take a look and require some kind of crossfit 101 class or "foundations" or whatever they call it to teach you the basics. They are...

I like that guy, I've seen him before maybe even that video. I agree with what he says about dont be extremist. I'd be curious to hear who is saying "insulin stops fat loss!" and "any carbs whatsoever". That seems like a bit of a strawman. I'll listen to the rest to see if he addresses...

I know Lyle McDonald mentions using it in some of his stuff, but that's targeted for guys trying to cut down to 6% or under bodyfat for competitions. No need to use it for the average guy. That said I dont think it's going to kill you either unless you have some particular condition or...

New Caledonia Giant Gecko. I think she called it a leachie though. Apparently they are rather expensive, 1400 bucks for an adult expensive. 300 for a baby.

This guy discusses dieting breaks (aka refeeds) and why you need to do that on occasion. Might apply to your situation:

Not mine, a friend at the gym just got it. She breeds them though. I want a dog but I plan to wait a couple of years til my kids get a bit bigger, maybe I'll get one of these in the mean time.

I've seen a few people talk about those Quest bars recently. I'm usually not a fan of bars like that but I have been looking for an easy way to get more protein. Couple of good videos for anyone trying to drop some weight. I try to get input from a lot of different sources. I like this guy...

An op-ed but interesting none the less. http://www.nytimes.com/2013/03/06/op...anted=all&_r=0 Food sovereignty, I like that.

What sticks out most in my mind were his idiotic comments. I remember his UN address calling Bush a devil, quoting Chomsky and generally carrying on. Obama was a "clown" according to him. Some nonsense about the US spreading cancer to Latin America. Oh and something about capitalism being...

Bad. http://well.blogs.nytimes.com/2013/0...eed-it-or-not/ Robb Wolf and Hanna Montana. Now what? But the gluten free thing is likely a fad according to this guy's opinion: Judge for yourselves.

What's the deal with the Mandarin. I recognize the name but I'm mixing him up with Sinestro possibly with the rings. I forget what powers he has.

So true. I'm sorry Aychamo. I didn't know. I'm sure you're very svelte.

He's hit or miss. Anchorman was a classic, highly quotable and hilarious throughout. Land of the Lost had a couple of funny parts in it. "Oh that blows..."

Cut update: down to 188 right now. Still not counting calories, doing Paleo and IF for nutrition, 5/3/1/ + conditioning for exercise. It's slow going but as long as I'm not stuck too long I can deal with the pace I guess.

A lot of gyms dont have any weights under 5 lbs, in which case it would always end in a five. Maybe that's what he's thinking. But yes weights come in 2.5 and smaller. We have down to 1/4 lb weights at ours. No excuse not to go up in weight!

What about Macadamia's? Those are great although expensive if you dont get them in a costco or similar.

Meet the Fats. They're bad and better. The better of course being vegetable oils, like Canola which is only pressed, extracted with a chemical solvent, heated, oxidized, had the wax removed and then chemically deodorized. You can read the "facts" on that page too. They make it quite...

We were told it's the fat. So companies took out fat from everything and replaced it with sugar, because fructose is generally considered safe. Fat free son:

To the surprise of nobody I'm sure... Sugar is bad for you: http://opinionator.blogs.nytimes.com...?smid=fb-share

My son is almost 5 and he's asked me on multiple occasions what happens when you die. Including how do you die. Wasnt ready for that one at this age. One was "when you die is it forever?" To which I said yes. The most recent was "If you die can you get back up?" To which I said no, and he...

The first season was critical because you see him as pure Walt in the very first episode and then the trigger that starts him Breaking Bad. From there it's a very well done, slow progression. It's hard to appreciate what he has become if you dont see the beginning. I feel like they went to...

Civilization Everquest X-Com Baldurs Gate Starcraft

Thanks for the suggestions. Yeah I mostly do PC games but I'm looking for anything that people think plays really well on a console. Even if it's on PC as well. I've got the 360 all set up again so I want to make use of it. Red Dead Redemption is a good one, I remember reading a bit about...

I need a few fun single player 360 games to play. I have not played 360 literally in years as I'm mostly a PC gamer. I dont follow consoles at all. So what were the top "must play" single player games of the past 3 years or so in your opinion? Any genre but again single player content.

This is a good forum for FIRE with some good articles, posts and calcs etc. http://www.early-retirement.org/forums/ I havent been on in a while but they were helpful if you had questions.

Eating live vultures is paleo.

Liked, good luck.

I dont know Rav at all so I feel like I'm unbiased. I'd like to hear her side of it. Sure seems like she was working it but by the same token it also seems like some people were throwing money at her to get her to like you. If the charity things people are mentioning were bullshit though...

Is he doing some program? I remember Sheiko was a big thing for a while. That guy Broz (yes broz) had his people do Bulgarian method stuff which had them squatting every day. imo you cant do that effectively unless you're a genetic freak or on something. Starting Strength got to be...

~$8,000.00 worth of boob pics on page 22.

I am slowly shifting from eye rolling to impressed this girl managed to get multiple thousands off of multiple people. Plus prescription meds. For some blurry titty pics!

I always assumed this Rav person was a dude based on what little I know of this place. Same with Trexxy. So is this person a confirmed no Y chromosome? These stories always seem to end with a penis.

Not just decrease fat but demonize it. I would be interested to see if there is any data on how sedentary we are now as compared to 1970. Meanwhile one of the two main issues is refined, processed, pre-packaged foods (the other is confusion on what is good to eat). In my mind grains like...

My comments were tongue in cheek. I dont care if people eat grains, I have more of a problem with promoting bread, pasta and cereal and demonizing fat and meat. I have no comment on the DASH diet in particular, sounds like a typical American Heart Association recommended diet. A typical...
