Best Slimming Foods - Weight Center. Looking for a miracle diet food? It's time to call off the search — there's no such thing. While they're not miracle foods, they can help you eat less over the course of the day. This portable fruit is the perfect snack, with a high water content and both kinds of weight- busting fiber: soluble, which helps prevent blood sugar spikes that lead to cravings, and insoluble, which helps fill you up. To sweeten the pot, apples also contain quercetin, a flavonoid shown to help fight certain cancers, reduce cholesterol damage and promote healthy lungs. TIP: Organic apples are worth the extra cost because commercial apples retain more pesticide residue than fruits you peel, such as oranges or bananas. And with half the fiber and most of the iron, magnesium and vitamin C, you definitely want to eat that peel to get the full slimming benefits. Eggs. They're a great source of protein, which may be key to keeping you full. A recent study published in the Journal of the American College of Nutrition found that when people ate two eggs for breakfast, they took in more than 4. Dhurandhar, Ph. D., from Pennington Biomedical Research Center in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Although this was only a one- day study, eating eggs regularly may have long- term weight management benefits, says Dr. Dhurandhar. TIP: For a healthier egg, farmers are improving the hen feed by adding canola oil, alfalfa, rice bran and even sea kelp. Try Eggland's Best eggs, which contain omega- 3 fatty acids, along with more vitamin E and less saturated fat than regular eggs. One study found that eating a breakfast of two eggs can leave you feeling full longer than a bagel. Cauliflower. It's good for you, too. Cauliflower contains the cancer- fighting phytonutrient sulforaphane, as well as a good amount of folate and vitamin C, which may be helpful for weight loss. In fact, a review from Purdue University pointed to vitamin C status as a key factor in how much fat is burned during physical activity. Individuals with cirrhosis may have few or no symptoms and signs of liver disease. Some of the symptoms may be nonspecific, that is, they don't suggest that the liver.

All that and it's pretty tasty, too. Steam a head of cauliflower and mash it with garlic salt, a sprinkling of grated Parmesan cheese and a touch of butter. Lowfat Yogurt. If the yogurt ads are to be believed, you should be fitting into that itty- bitty bikini before you know it. While yogurt and other dairy products are not weight- loss magic bullets, there is some truth in advertising. A recent study at the University of Tennessee found that dieters eating three servings of yogurt daily lost twice as much weight as their non–dairy– eating counterparts on a 1. Zemel, M. D., a professor of nutrition and medicine at the University of Tennessee in Knoxville. No word yet on how effective ice cream is at burning fat, but we're not holding our breath. TIP: Sneak more dairy into your diet by adding plain yogurt to dips, sauces and salad dressings. You get the health benefits without the added sugar of flavored yogurts. Oatmeal. Mom didn't know how right she was: Breakfast is the most important meal of the day — just eating it can make you slimmer. Researchers at the University of California, Berkeley analyzed a national six- year survey and found that people who ate breakfast had a lower body mass index (BMI) than people who skipped breakfast, and that those who ate cooked cereal had a lower BMI than any other breakfast- eating group. Also, oatmeal was ranked as the most satiating breakfast food on the Satiety Index, developed by Australian researchers a decade ago, and it's the third most satiating food overall. Katz. TIP: If you don't have time for cooked oatmeal every morning, make muesli by mixing old- fashioned oats with plain yogurt, dried fruit and fruit juice and leaving it in the fridge overnight. Peanuts. Almonds and walnuts have been getting all the glory these days, but don't discredit peanuts, the most commonly eaten nut in America. Researchers at Purdue University found that peanut eaters end up eating less over the course of the whole day and are more likely to maintain weight, even if given as many peanuts as they want. So what is it about peanuts? Turns out it's a little bit of everything. A recent study published in the journal Obesity Research found that adding two 1.

High- fiber grains are a great way to round out a meal, and fine- cut bulgur is easy to cook. Bulgur, which is a quick- cooking form of whole wheat, takes about 1. With all the good fiber comes some other benefits: iron and vitamins E and B6. TIP: Find bulgur in health- food stores and organic markets. For a quick side dish, combine fine bulgur with chicken broth, diced canned tomatoes and some cooked onions. Salad. When most people think of dieting, they think of salad. But if that means some sad greens topped with unripe tomatoes, it's no wonder diets don't work. And research backs it up. A study from Penn State University found that women who ate a salad before a pasta lunch ate fewer calories for the whole meal than those just digging into the pasta. TIP: Start your salad with mesclun, arugula or spinach. Not only are these greens tastier than iceberg, they also contain more iron, calcium, vitamin C and folate.

Apple Cider Vinegar for Dogs. Acid Reflux. Posted by Susana (Creston, North Carolina) on 1. This is a wonderful home remedy, which I discovered on this site. I take it everyday and haven't gotten sick, not even a cold, but I am posting to help pet owners whose dogs get acid reflux. My 1. 1- yr- old Golden mix had a gurgling stomach frequently. I have been giving him a capful of ACV w/his meal and the gurgling has ceased. If I ever hear his stomach churning a bit, I give him a droper- full and it goes away within the hour. After reading through your site, I decided to give the Apple Cider Vinegar a try. I've put it in the animal's water but they don't seem to be drinking it. Is there a trick to getting them to take the ACV? That probably developed because my dogs and I are vegans. We eat primarily organic fruits and vegetables plus soy products. My dogs are unusually healthy due to this but my 1. The vet put him on Clavamox but said the crystals were due to his system being too alkaline. She recommended foods to create more acidity but she apparently didn't know about apple cider vinegar. Thank you so much for the Apple Cider Vinegar recommendation. I am also returning to feeding my dogs more beans & a little bread rather than soy exclusively. The dogs had no problems in the past with beans, soy, & some bread. I used to add high quality bread to their meals before I discovered recently that I cannot tolerate gluten. Have you heard great things about the apple cider vinegar warts remedy? Are you a little skeptical and wondering if it really does work? The answer is yes, BUT only. Apple cider vinegar detox is one of the best kept secrets in the fitness world and others who use it to detox on a regular basis. Apple cider vinegar detox.

My dog had some signs of allergies (runny eyes, flaky skin) that were not helped by the vet's suggestions, so I did a web search and found the . It sounded like a harmless and potentially helpful remedy, so I tried it. It didn't do a thing for the allergic symptoms, and 3 months later, my (spayed) dog developed a bloody discharge from her urinary tract. Lab tests diagnosed struvite crystals in her bladder, which, the vet said, form when the urine is too alkaline. Some research informed me that apple cider vinegar has an alkalinizing effect in the body! After immediate cessation of the apple cider vinegar and a month of a prescription urinary acidifier, my dog's urine is now testing normal. Naturally, after this experience, I do not recommend apple cider vinegar for dogs. I also give it to the Lab, Sadie, just because, and her coat has improved tremendously and she doesn't shed nearly as bad. I have recommended ACV to many people and 9.

Re: ACV for allergies: I gave organic ACV to my dog, and she threw up about 5 minutes later. I only gave her a capful, but she still threw up. It was very white bubbly throw up. EC: Firstly, ACV should always be very well diluted in water and not given on an empty stomach. Secondly, vomiting is not necessarily a bad thing. In some cases of detoxification or food poisoning, vomiting is exactly what you would want to see. I have read quite a bit of remedies on your site and i love it and i cannot wait to see if it will work for us. The only problem is, I cannot get Princess, my german shepard, to drink the apple cider vinegar in her drinking water or any other way. I was wondering if you all would have any suggestions on how to get her drink the vinegar and also, how much do i need to give her. Would it be better to put the ACV in a syringe and just put it in the back of her mouth? And if so, how much do i put in the syringe? EC: Try mixing it in with her food.

Last year in November I was going through your website and came across so many stories in which apple cider had helped them to get rid of warts. I was also suffering from a wart from a very long time, it would only increase as the years passed by. One day I visited the doctor and he tried to burn them which was very painful and never helped. In my second visit he said he needs to operate it, I was horrified then. It was then that I went through your page and all the messages gave me strength and faith that this is going to work. And to my surprise it really did. It was a little painful but my fingers are wart free now. I wish to thank you from the bottom of my heart!! Never thought I would also be the one writing a mail to you. Thank you so so much and God bless you always : ) : ) Best regards,Mala ch. Susan, I would first like to thank you for keeping this valuable site available to everyone. I would have thought it was quackery. I'm a science teacher and doctoral student and thought I knew better. But, after months of using OTC . Literally FIVE DAYS LATER the thing turned black and I picked it off. How the heck they get away with selling the other stuff (Salicytic Acid) as a remedy is beyond me. I would tell anyone that wants to get rid of a wart to spend five bucks, get a bottle of acv, some bandaides and cotton balls, give it a few nights, and save yourself tons of time, money and disappointment. Thanks for the web site. I just thought I'd add this testimonial to the others I read. Dan. I tried Wart Remover with no success. I had it cauterized, it regrew. One under a finger nail bothered a lot, but then afterstarting work as a spray painters in an auto body shop I noticed that all my warts were gone. One persistent wart was still on my left knee, about a quarter inch high, and a quarter inchacross. It would catch on my pant leg and bleed sometimes, but I got used to it, remedieswere useless. Then, over 5. 0 years later, (I'm 8. I thought about my auto body experience andtried my wife's nail polish with complete success. I tried it on some other skin (age spots)it worked on some, but not on others. It doesn't matter if some polish gets on surroundingskin, unless you have a sensitivity. The method is inexpensive with very little hurt, and ifyou use flesh colored nail polish it isn't very noticeable. It takes time, because your bodyneeds time to heal just as any skin problem does, so try to be patient, and not peel off thepoish prematurely, as it could bleed and hurt. Let nature slough it off. I wish you every success. Sincerely, Don. Tuesday, December 1. AMCountry. WARTS: I dipped a very small piece of cotton in ACV, put this directly on the wart, then covered all with an air- tight bandage.

For those. who are facing stubborn warts, you might want to read this entirely. I went to a. doctor. He froze the warts using liquid nitrogen. After the freezing. Two weeks later, I returned to the. He burst off the bubble, releasing some liquid. The warts was. gone forever. The one on my index finger wasn't completely removed. So. my doctor froze it again. After two weeks, there was still a bit of. But, silly me, I didn't go back to get another treatment. So the warts got bigger again, and eventually it became pretty. To get rid of it, I tried the over- the- counter salicylic. It didn't work and in fact made the condition worse. I wouldn't. suggest salicylic acid for warts cure. Because of the treatment, the. Finally I got 1. 5. Some were huge, probably about more than half- inch wide. They. looked extremely bad and worrying. I had to put band. I went out, because I would feel. It was terrible. In Fall 2. I decided that I would fight the warts with full force. The liquid nitrogen didn't work anymore. I had to come back. I went for probably more than. The RN gave me a referral. So I went to the dermatologist. He prescribed me Aldara. Very. expensive: hundreds of dollars. I tried applying it to the warts for a. I went back to the RN to get liquid nitrogen treatments again because. After several treatments. The RN, probably frustrated herself. I tried seeing a different dermatologist. I reluctantly. agreed. The second dermatologist tried a couple of treatments: one using. The other. treatment was using the so- called squaric acid. She. finally gave me a referral for laser surgery - and a huge bill to pay. Didn't really work. So having spent a lot of money and being clueless, I searched the netand found out about apple cider vinegar (ACV), including Susan's. So in December 2. I decided to give it a try. The method I used was similar to what other people say here: use a. ACV, apply the cotton ball to the warts, wrap. I prefer the brown tape. Leave it there till the morning. There were. warts on five of my fingers, so the treatment really sucked. ACV. smelled very strong. The treatment hurt so much as well. I could not. sleep in some nights because my fingers were throbbing like crazy. I. kept doing it for several months with no result. But I was determined. I kept doing it persistently. After four months. In April. 2. 00. 8, one of the warts was actually gone! I didn't use. cotton balls anymore since April, but what I did was soaking the warts. I saw. constant but very slow improvement since then. Now, there were a couple things I did simultaneously with the ACV. First, going to an acupuncturist. Second, boosting my. Let me tell you about my experience with acupuncture first. The. acupuncturist was a Chinese doctor. When he saw the warts, he. My digestion, he said, was very poor and my blood. So he gave me the usual acupuncture. Nothing really happened. So then he tried something very. I wouldn't recommend it unless your condition was so bad like. The Chinese doctor finally started pricking acupuncture needles. So these needles were not on the. I've got probably 2. I first. came in. But because the needles were not on acupuncture points, they. He left the needles on my fingers for about an hour. Then he. pressed my fingers so blood flows out of the needle points. The. reasoning was simple: he was trying to get my own immune system to. Though it. was very painful, I came back for many treatments. He also gave me. Chinese herbs to drink three times daily. Then after several extreme. ACV, I actually sawsignificant improvement! So I kept coming to the Chinese doctor. The second thing I did along with the ACV and acupuncture treatments. Here's what I did: I drank Kombucha tea. I took colloidal silver, I took. ACV pills, etc. I took. I heard that having warts is a. I ate lots of bananas. As I said, it was a full- fledged war against the warts. Here's another thing that I did: I applied tea tree oil frequently. It seemed to help make them gone faster. Today, after 8 months of hard struggle against the stubborn warts, I'm. My fingers are as. Even my nail beds are back to normal! Thank. goodness. So a couple of things that I need to underline: (1) Be persistent against stubborn warts. Let me say. that again: never give up! Even if you haven't seen any progress after. Try multifarious ways.(2) Dermatologists and surgeons only cure the warts, but probably notthe real issue. The real issue might be weak immune system or poor. I opt for boosting my immune. I've read many. testimonies from people who got a laser surgery for their warts, but. My case was extreme. I took the wholesale approach, trying. I was desperate. But one thing that I'm sure. ACV. So do try. the simple method of using ACV with cotton balls (leave the cotton. ACV for an hour a day. I'd. suggest that you simply try the ACV treatment and take multivitamins. A, C, E). Also, during the day. But remember not to overdo. Thanks a lot for reading my testimony.

To: Hi Susan,Had a large wart on the back of my hand for years. Tried everything including 4 different treatmnets from Chemists and most of the Home Remedies listed. Finally tried Superglue and it worked. Just put Superglue on the wart, after a few days it comes off, then re- apply.

I had several warts on the bottom of my right heel - it started with one, but then became two, three, etc. All very close to each other so ultimately I had a spot the size of a Quarter that was all wart tissue. I followed the treatment recommended by others on this site: I soaked some cotton in ACV, and then duct taped it to my foot. It seems to work best that way since your feet get sweaty and bandaids, etc. I changed the cotton once in the morning, once in the afternoon, and once right before bed. As other have said, it did hurt at times, but I really really wanted these things gone! Official Tickets and Your Source for Live Entertainment. By clicking Next, you agree to the AXS.

Gisele Bündchen Says She Makes Her Kids Eat a Mostly Plant-Based Diet Because It's "Good for the Environment".
High- Protein Vegan Diet . Since meat provides a great deal of protein, a vegan diet may provide less protein than a meat- based diet or a vegetarian diet that includes eggs or dairy products. More importantly, the quality of protein in a vegan diet may not be as high as in other diets. If you plan your meals to include a wide variety of plant foods, however, it is possible to have a relatively high- protein vegan diet. The human body must get certain essential amino acids from the diet in order to make all the different types of protein it needs to function and stay healthy. With the exception of soybeans, individual plant foods do not contain all of the essential amino acids provided by animal products. A vegan diet that includes a wide variety of plant foods, however, should provide enough different types of amino acids for the body to build ample amounts of high- quality protein every day.

In addition to fruits and vegetables, which contribute small amounts of protein, a high- protein vegan diet includes different types of whole grain products; legumes such as beans, split peas and lentils; soybeans and soy products; and nuts and seeds. Some vegans enjoy getting their protein from meat substitutes, or meat analogs, which are products most often made from soy or wheat gluten that taste and look something like meat.

Common grains that contribute protein to a vegan diet include wheat, rice, corn, oats, rye, barley and millet. Whole grain protein comes from breads, muffins, pancakes, pastas, hot and cold cereals, side dishes and other foods made with these grains.

Black beans, white beans, pink beans, pinto beans, black- eye peas, garbanzo beans or chick peas, brown lentils, green lentils, red lentils and yellow or green split peas are all good examples of legumes used in a high- protein vegan diet. Soybean products include edamame - - green soybeans, tofu, tempeh - - fermented soybeans, soy milk, soy cheeses, soy yogurt and soy nut snacks.

How much protein do we actually need? Well, in the United States, the Dietary Reference Intake (DRI) for protein is 0. To calculate your weight in kilograms, divide your weight in pounds by 2. That number is about how many grams you need each day. Approximately 1. 5- 2. Although protein is certainly an essential nutrient, which plays many key roles in the way our bodies function, we do not need huge quantities of it. Many Americans consume about twice the amount of protein necessary, and it’s important to note that excess protein can’t be stored in the body—ultimately, its elimination strains the liver and kidneys. Excessive protein consumption is linked to certain cancers (i. If you’re consuming a variety of clean, whole foods, you should get all the protein you need, without taxing your body.

As you may or may not know, proteins are made up of amino acids, and they are the “building blocks” of life. Our skin, muscles, tendons, cartilage, even hair and nails, are all thanks to protein. Protein helps form enzymes, hormones, antibodies and new tissues. It replaces old cells with shiny new ones, and it transports important nutrients in and out of those cells. The human body can manufacture all but nine of the 2. These nine amino acids are known as “essential” amino acids, and therefore must be derived from what we eat. There’s a lot of overlap from the sources of these “essentials,” which further proves that variety is best for covering bases. You don’t have to sweat every detail, or spend a ton of time planning meals—eat an assortment of whole foods and you will get what you need.* Arginine. Classified as a semi- essential or “conditionally” essential amino acid, depending on the developmental stage and health status of the individual. Find it in: almonds, beets, Brazil nuts, buckwheat, carrots, cashews, celery, chickpeas, coconut, cucumbers, flax seed, garlic, green vegetables, hazelnuts, kidney beans, leeks, lentil, lettuce, nutritional yeast, onion, parsnips, pecans, pine nuts, potatoes, pumpkin seeds, radishes, sesame seeds, sprouts, sunflower seeds and walnuts. Involved in hemoglobin formation, regulating blood sugar levels, blood clot formation and energy. Find it in: almonds, avocados, cashews, chickpeas, coconut, lentils, olives, papaya, seaweed and most seeds like sunflower. Prevents muscle wasting and is used in treating conditions such as Parkinson’s disease. Find it in: almonds, asparagus, avocados, chickpeas, coconut, lentils, oats, olives, papayas, rice, sunflower seeds and walnuts. Supports learning and memory, brain processes and mood elevation. Find it in: apples, beets, carrots, cashews, flax seed, hazelnuts, nutritional yeast, parsley, pineapples, pumpkin seeds, sesame seeds, sunflower seeds, spinach and tomatoes. Symptoms are the way your body tries to communicate with you. If it doesn’t have enough of what it needs to thrive, it will do its best to get what it needs with what it has. If you are unable to build/retain muscle, that’s probably because you aren’t getting enough protein and your body is taking it from where it can—your muscle tissue. If you suffer from recurring/multiple injuries, your body probably doesn’t have the protein it needs for strength, rebuilding and recovery. Are your nails flimsy and breaking? Are you losing excessive hair? Your body may be holding onto what protein it has stored in the “bank,” versus using what little it has to create new nails or full hair. This is also why nutrient- rich, whole foods are ideal, and why true health comes from these kinds of foods versus labels like “vegan.” Just because someone is vegan, vegetarian, or an omnivore for that matter, doesn’t make them healthy. Many folks make the mistake of “going vegan” and consuming a lot of processed, nutrient- void junk foods, pastas, etc. True health comes from the consumption of a variety of whole foods—the ones Mother Nature designed. It’s that simple. Want to see how delicious plant- powerful recipes can be? And here’s a helpful chart. This chart is for reference only, since it’s recommended that you think of food in its “wholeness”—its natural, plant- based complexity. Excellent nutrition is truly about balance and variety. For example, everything that makes up a carrot is important for good health, not just the beta carotene, or the vitamin C, but the whole carrot. It’s packaged how Mother Nature designed—a symphony of nutrients, fiber and a large assortment of protective compounds, most of which still remain unnamed (and undiscovered). Imagine that. Do I need to combine protein sources at each meal to make sure I get all essential amino acids? No. Nearly all whole foods (including greens and veggies) contain protein, and nearly all forms of protein contain all protein- forming amino acids in some quantity. If you eat a variety of nutrient- rich, whole foods, your body will work its magic to store what it needs to function optimally. Scientists used to claim that herbivores would develop protein deficiency if they didn’t get essential amino acids in proper, combined amounts at every meal. But our bodies are amazing. See, when we eat, amino acid “deposits” are made into a “storage bank,” and the body then takes what it needs as it’s needed. So, you don’t have to eat complementary proteins together with each meal in an effort to make complete protein. Your body has a system already set up; you just need to eat a variety of foods to fill the bank. By eating a variety of plant foods with “incomplete proteins” throughout the day, we can easily get enough “complete protein.”Picture a giant 4. What does he eat to grow that strong, muscular body? Leaves, stems, roots, seeds and fruit (and maybe the occasional insect that lives on those foods). The body actually works less (uses less energy) to process protein from a vegetable- based diet than it does from a meat- based diet, too. This energy conservation is great for more efficient healing, building and overall optimal health. Most plant- based protein sources, contrary to animal- based sources, are also alkalizing for the body. Which means less aches and pains, freedom from disease, better sleep, happier moods, improved memory and concentration, stronger/more efficient digestion and an overall better state of health. Complete Plant Protein Sources. Remember—variety. And if you want to make it even easier for yourself, here are a bunch of delicious, whole food options for complete plant- based proteins that you can keep in your pantry and fridge. Add them to salads, smoothies, wraps and more. It’s also helpful to have a plant- based protein smoothie like Vega One once a day. It contains 1. 5 grams of quality plant- based protein per serving (enter SHIPUSVEGA at checkout to get free shipping)—I usually have one a day with two scoops.(These are gluten- free, too)Amaranth: recipes . Use it as a reference when planning meals for the week, or when shopping.***It’s all about variety. While the protein question is a frequent one for plant- based eaters, don’t dismiss it in an uneducated haze of herbivore pride. It’s very important that we get enough protein each and every day, but as you can see, it’s not as difficult as most folks think—it’s actually quite easy (and did we mention delicious?).

Review: Cannondale CAAD8 Tiagra . When you came into my life, I thought you'd be just another run of the mill bike. How you proved me wrong. Cannondale have been making aluminium frames for donkey's years and their level of experience is evident from both the ride and construction quality. Hearst Magazines and Hearst Digital Media are divisions of Hearst Communications, Inc. Bruno's Marketplace offers gourmet food products from Northern California, including Bruno's Wax Peppers, Sierra Nevada Chileno Peppers, Waterloo BBQ Sauce, Bruno's. LCH can be localized and manifest as pain or may even be asymptomatic, as in isolated bone lesions. LCH can also involve multiple organs and systems, with clinically. There is no shortage of technology that has gone into this frame: double- pass smooth welds, taper- butted tubes, assymetric chainstays, horizontally ovalised top tube and SAVE (Synapse Active Vibration Elimination) vibration- reducing stays to name a few. Many of these features have trickled down from the CAAD1. CAAD8 this year making a well liked frame even better. The CAAD8 now has Thinline seatstays, the top tube flowing smoothly around the seat tube into those seatstays. In fact, the whole rear triangle looks to be the same as that of the CAAD1. The main differences between the frames are that on the CAAD8 the head tube is not tapered and the down tube looks less . At 1. 7cm for the size 5. Cannondale use a 1. Super. Six). On paper, this might make it neither fish nor fowl, but in reality it makes for a really good position that efficiently rewards the effort you put in. Just like on the Synapse range, the CAAD8 uses SAVE chainstays, a shape which . I don't know whether it's the SAVE stays (my guess is it's to do with every little detail on this bike), but this IS a comfortable frame that isolates you from a lot of the road buzz you get on uneven surfaces. As well as me, road. Mat got the big miles in on the CAAD8 and neither of us found it in any way harsh. That back end certainly doesn't kick like a mule. Even on rides of four or five hours it felt just fine, softening the ride just enough without wrapping you in cotton wool. Put it this way: neither of us got off feeling achy or beaten or anything like that. The only thing we disagreed on was the saddle. I liked it whereas Mat swapped it off after one ride moaning that it sagged in the middle.. The bar tape, Cannondale's own 2. White, it looks the business when new, but gets dirty rather quickly. That's not a huge issue; it's easy and cheap to replace. The bike is equipped with a Shimano Tiagra groupset and the big revelation for me was how excellent it has become. You get Tiagra shifters and derailleurs front and rear, a compact FSA Omega BB3. Tiagra 1. 0- speed cassette. It's smooth as butter, works every time and the gearing is perfectly matched to the bike. I honestly see no reason to upgrade other than to save a little bit of weight, or if you like your cables to be tucked away under the bar tape – which is what you get with Shimano from 1. The bike feels light and nimble while the steering is precise and descending is stable thanks to the carbon- bladed Cannondale Ultra fork. Braking, courtesy of Cannondale's own C4 dual pivots, is great. The cartridge pads (handy; it's easier to replace just the pads rather than the brake shoe) grip the rim well - the limiting factor is the friction between road surface and tyres rather than brake performance. Speaking of the tyres, the Schwalbe Luganos work well in both the dry and wet. They are grippy and didn't puncture on me. Having said that, going for a more upmarket pair of tyres after these have worn out would be a worthwhile investment. If there's one thing that could be improved, it's the wheels: they're Maddux RS 3. Formula RB- 5. 1 hubs. Manage your page to keep your users updated View some of our premium pages: google.com.

Opening at the Whitechapel Gallery, London, June 7, 2017. A Handful of Dust is David Campany There's nothing wrong with them as such, but they just didn't impress me. They didn't stay perfectly true, although they didn't go way out of line either. For the period I had the bike, I didn't have any trouble and the braking surface works well, but they just felt a little sluggish and heavy. Put a pair of decent wheels on and you'd lift the performance a couple of notches. I think it's only fair to say at this point that, of course, you get what you pay for and I wouldn't expect a better pair of wheels at this price point - they are perfectly decent. I'm just saying that they are not matched to the quality and the performance of the frame. And if I could choose where to compromise on a bike budget I reckon the wheels are not a bad choice at all. They are easy to upgrade, it's good to have more than one pair for winter and summer use, and I'd rather have a decent frame and set of components with a mediocre pair of wheels than the other way around. Talking about winter and summer use, there is actually provision for mudguard mounting on the frame and forks. The forks have eyelets where you'd expect them while on the rear triangle the bosses are halfway up and on the inside of the seatstays. I didn't get a chance to try mounting mudguards but I wouldn't fancy my chances of getting a pair of full mudguards in there with a tyre clearance I'd be happy with. A pair of thin mudguards like Salmons or such like would be a better bet. There are no bosses near the top of the seat stays for rack mounting. You can get the CAAD8 with 1.

What do the manufacturers say about it? How does that compare to your own feelings about the bike? The Cannondale CAAD8 is the bottom of their Elite Road range which they describe thus: . Totally re- designed for 2. CAAD8 draws on our decades of aluminium engineering expertise to bring a remarkable level of performance to the entry- level road category. By far the lightest frame in its class (1. Cannondale CAAD8 shares many of the features and tube shapes of our incredible CAAD1.

You can tell that Cannondale have been making aluminium frames for donkey's years: the usual build quality and expertise is readily evident here. Tell us about the materials used in the frame and fork? The frame is made from 6. Tell us about the geometry of the frame and fork? It shares the race geometry of other bikes in the range, with the exception of the head tube which is slightly taller at 1. How was the bike in terms of height and reach? How did it compare to other bikes of the same stated size? The size 5. 6 tested had a 5. The overall feel was still very much race as opposed to sportive/touring. Was the bike comfortable to ride? Tell us how you felt about the ride quality. The ride quality is superb. It's clearly a bike with a race heritage but made slightly more comfy with a taller head tube and all the vibration and road buzz reducing features described in the main text. Did the bike feel stiff in the right places? Did any part of the bike feel too stiff or too flexible? The bike is plenty stiff, especially for an entry- level road bike. Bottom bracket area stiffness is taken care off by the BB3. The wheels could have been a bit better. How did the bike transfer power? Did it feel efficient? Although not an out an out race best, the bike is plenty efficient. Cannondale have managed to tweak the race geometry without loosing efficiency. How would you describe the steering? Was it lively, neutral or unresponsive? Neutral. Tell us some more about the handling. How did the bike feel overall? Did it do particular things well or badly? Handling is really good, as you'd expect from a decent race bike. Which components had the most effect (good or bad) on the bike's comfort? I got on really well with the saddle for a change although Mat reported the exact opposite: saddles are a highly personal choice. I found the handlebars and the bar tape really comfortable too. Which components had the most effect (good or bad) on the bike's stiffness? The FSA Omega compact chainset, by virtue of its BB3. Rate the bike for efficiency of power transfer.

For the genus of moth, see Kerala (moth). Kerala. It was formed on 1 November 1. States Reorganisation Act by combining Malayalam- speaking regions. Spread over 3. 8,8. Karnataka to the north and northeast, Tamil Nadu to the east and south, and the Lakshadweep Sea to the west. With 3. 3,3. 87,6. Census, Kerala is the thirteenth- largest state by population and is divided into 1. Thiruvananthapuram. Malayalam is the most widely spoken language and is also the official language of the state. The region has been a prominent spice exporter since 3. BCE. The Chera Dynasty was the first prominent kingdom based in Kerala, though it frequently struggled against attacks by the neighbouring Cholas and Pandyas. In the 1. 5th century, the spice trade attracted Portuguese traders to Kerala, and paved the way for the European colonisation of India. After independence, Travancore and Cochin joined the Republic of India and Travancore- Cochin was given the status of a state in 1. In 1. 95. 6, Kerala state was formed by merging Malabar district, Travancore- Cochin (excluding four southern taluks), and the taluk of Kasargod, South Kanara. Kerala has the lowest positive population growth rate in India, 3. Human Development Index (HDI), 0. The state has witnessed significant emigration, especially to Arab states of the Persian Gulf during the Gulf Boom of the 1. Malayali expatriate community. Hinduism is practised by more than half of the population, followed by Islam and Christianity. The culture is a synthesis of Aryan and Dravidian cultures. In the agricultural sector, coconut, tea, coffee, cashew and spices are important. The state's coastline extends for 5. The state has the highest media exposure in India with newspapers publishing in nine languages, mainly English and Malayalam. Kerala is one of the prominent tourist destinations of India, with backwaters, beaches, Ayurvedic tourism and tropical greenery as its major attractions. Etymology. The name Kerala has an uncertain etymology. One popular theory derives . This contradicts the theory that . It is also mentioned in the Ramayana and the Mahabharata, the two Hindu epics. The Greco- Roman trade map Periplus Maris Erythraei refers to Keralaputra as Celobotra. According to legend, this new area of land extended from Gokarna to Kanyakumari. Out of respect, Vasuki and all snakes were appointed as protectors and guardians of the land. The legend was later expanded, and found literary expression in the 1. Keralolpathi, which traces the origin of aspects of early Kerala society, such as land tenure and administration, to the story of Parasurama. He won the war against the Devas, driving them into exile. The Devas pleaded before Lord Vishnu, who took his fifth incarnation as Vamana and pushed Mahabali down to Patala (the netherworld) to placate the Devas. There is a belief that, once a year during the Onam festival, Mahabali returns to Kerala. Marine fossils have been found in an area near Changanacherry, thus supporting the hypothesis. They are locally known as . Phoenicians established trade with Kerala during this period. Ays and Mushikas were two other dynasties of ancient Kerala, whose kingdoms lay to the south and north of Cheras respectively. The spice trade was mainly along the water routes (blue). In the last centuries BCE the coast became important to the Greeks and Romans for its spices, especially black pepper. The Cheras had trading links with China, West Asia, Egypt, Greece, and the Roman Empire. One of the earliest western traders to use the monsoon winds to reach Kerala was Eudoxus of Cyzicus, around 1. BCE, under the patronage of Ptolemy VIII, king of the Hellenistic. Ptolemaic dynasty in Egypt. Roman establishments in the port cities of the region, such as a temple of Augustus and barracks for garrisoned Roman soldiers, are marked in the Tabula Peutingeriana; the only surviving map of the Roman cursus publicus. During the early part of the Kulasekara period, the southern region from Nagerkovil to Thiruvalla was ruled by Ay kings, who lost their power in the 1. Kulasekara empire. Buddhism and Jainism disappeared from the land. After his death, in the absence of a strong central power, the state was divided into thirty small warring principalities; the most powerful of them were the kingdom of Samuthiri in the north, Venad in the south and Kochi in the middle. In the 1. 8th Century, Travancore King Sree Anizham Thirunal Marthanda Varma annexed all the kingdoms up to Northern Kerala through military conquests, resulting in the rise of Travancore to pre- eminence in Kerala. The Kochi ruler sued for peace with Anizham Thirunal and Malabar came under direct British rule until India became independent. However, the dominance of Middle East traders was challenged in the European Age of Discovery during which the spice trade, particularly in black pepper, became an influential activity for European traders. However, Portuguese attacks on Arab properties in his jurisdiction provoked the Zamorin and led to conflicts between them. The Portuguese took advantage of the rivalry between the Zamorin and the King of Kochi allied with Kochi. When Francisco de Almeida was appointed as Viceroy of Portuguese India in 1. Fort Kochi (Fort Emmanuel) rather than in Kozhikode. During his reign, the Portuguese managed to dominate relations with Kochi and established a few fortresses on the Malabar Coast. In 1. 57. 1, the Portuguese were defeated by the Zamorin forces in the battle at Chaliyam fort.
