The fall season is officially a wrap for Beacon Communications. As always, it went by fast.
Thanksgiving marked two great football matchups for our local high school teams as the Johnston Panthers made the trip to Pilgrim to battle the Pats while Cranston East and West squared off for another showdown.
I'm sure most of you have heard the story by now, but last Tuesday the Toll Gate football team was forced to withdraw from the game due to a roster issue. Johnston swooped in at the last minute to take its spot and earn itself a holiday matchup.
The risk paid off for Johnston, as the Panthers traveled to Warwick and put on a show. It was probably their best performance of the entire season, in fact.
The Panthers took a 7-0 lead in the opening drive and never took their feet off the gas. Johnston's offense made big play after big play while the defense made big stop after big stop. This was a team that was very much in control from start to finish.
On the flip side, it seemed like Pilgrim was just a little flat. There was a lot going on with the school in the weeks leading up to it between the COVID-19 outbreak at the homecoming dance as well as the last-second change of opponent. Knowing Pilgrim's coaching staff, they would never use that as an excuse, but the Pats seemed a little off all day.
You can't take any credit away from Johnston, though. Hunter Remington came up huge on both sides of the ball, Joey Acciardo did what he always does, the defensive front wreaked havoc on the Pats offense all day. It was just a complete all around showing for the Panthers who walked away with the 29-12 win.
One thing that I admired with the Johnston team was how it continued to practice after its season ended.
Although the team did not have a dance partner for Thanksgiving, the Panthers were itching to find one and continued to practice although its Division III season had come to a close. The decision to keep grinding paid off as the team was game ready when it got the call and pulled off the upset.
I also have to give Pilgrim credit as well. It could have easily pulled out of the game when Toll Gate withdrew and it would have been totally understandable. No, Pilgrim wanted to play and it did just that.
Also, this was the first year that the new Beacon Bowl trophy was presented. I headed down to a Pilgrim practice in October to deliver it to the team, but this was the first year that it was up for grabs.
Again, Pilgrim could have easily kept the hardware in its trophy case and reserved it for whenever the all-Warwick matchup came back around. The Pats elected to put it up for grabs, which I think showed a tremendous amount of confidence and swagger that you don't see often.
Sure, the Panthers got the win and spoiled Pilgrim's morning while taking the trophy back up to Johnston. But the fact that Pilgrim was so willing to put it on the line was pretty cool. The teams were talking about running it back next Thanksgiving at the conclusion of the game, so will this be the new rivalry moving forward on Thanksgiving?
Congrats to the 2021 Beacon Bowl champion Johnston Panthers.
While I was in Warwick covering the Beacon Bowl, perhaps the game that stole the show across the state that day was the East-West matchup, in which the Falcons completed the 22-21 comeback win.
This game is what Thanksgiving football is all about. Two teams with a ton of history, passionate fan bases and are of similar makeup. This game was close on paper and it turned out to live up to the billing.
Both East and West feature young, developing rosters. This game was important for some new faces establishing themselves and making an impact as the clubs will look to make some noise in 2022. The usual suspects did their thing, but a few of those younger pieces stepped up as well.
The Bolts took a 21-7 lead into the fourth quarter, but West would come up with some big plays and big drives on each side of the ball to take over and complete the comeback win.
Mayor Ken Hopkins was present to hand out awards, the two teams left with their heads held high. It was a great game that I wish I was able to be present for, it literally came down to the final seconds when West made a red zone stop on defense to ice it.
There are some other Super Bowls left to be played but for our coverage area, the fall has come to a close. I am always thrilled to dig into the winter season, which I will be doing next week, but let me give a few quick hit thoughts to send off the fall.
Cranston boys soccer is back … both East and West had solid, playoff campaigns and I am looking forward to seeing if the rivalry can catch fire in the next year or two.
Warwick girls soccer also lived up to the high expectations, as the Pilgrim girls reached the Division I semis and the Titans made the playoffs after being bumped up to Division II. These teams continue to be the cream of the crop throughout the state.
Hendricken's two best teams did their thing again, as both football and cross country claimed state championships. La Salle got the better of the Hawks in cross country last year, so it felt like we were getting back to normal with them returning the favor this time around.
Although the Panthers did not return to the Division III Super Bowl, they were one of my favorite teams this fall as they came on strong down the stretch and reached the semis. There were so many questions surrounding this team after losing some of the pieces it did. Midway through the regular season, things were looking choppy, however, the Panthers rolled into the playoffs and went on to take the Beacon Bowl over a team that shut them out just a month before.
Next stop: winter.

You must visit the page of sales. Here is the link. If you don't care about which brand is better, then you can choose the digital fish scale by the price and buy from the one who will offer the greatest discount.
№1 – Fishing Scale
Why did this digital fish scale win the first place?
I really enjoy the design. It is compact, comfortable and reliable. And it looks amazing! I was completely satisfied with the price. Its counterparts in this price range are way worse. I don't know anything about other models from this brand, but I am fully satisfied with this product. The product is very strong. Its material is stable and doesn't crack.
№2 – Next-shine Electronic Digital Hanging/Fish/Luggage/Kitchen Scale 0.01 lb/0.005kg
Why did this digital fish scale come in second place?
I like this product. For such a low price, I didn't even hope it to be any better. It's decently made. Managers explained me all the details about the product range, price, and delivery. The design quality is top notch and the color is nice. The material is pretty strong and easy to wash if needed.

Why did this digital fish scale take third place?
This price is appropriate since the product is very well built. We are very pleased with the purchase — the product is great! It is inconvenient to use due to the size. I am going to get something different next time. It doesn't squeaks nor bents. Looks great in my apartment.
digital fish scale Buyer's Guide
Some other features
Here comes the second stander of the best fishing scales this year. This fascinating little Mango Spot scales excels at providing accuracy in measures that even a change in 0.01lb or grams would be captured on the digital display. It has maximum weight limits up to 1lbs or 50Kg. The design also makes it very easy to grab hold it in your hand. There is also adjustable handle if you wish to carry the tool.
Korum Electronic Scales
It has to be said, everyone in the office where extremely impressed with the Korum scales, not only did they look the nuts but they also had some awesome features for a low-priced set of scales. The large, looped handle coupled with the zeroing feature means the scales have everything you could need. The tests where impressive with the same weight recorded on the first test: 11lb 1oz. Cock-on. The first of the heavier sack went 21lb 9oz, the second went 21lb 10oz and the third went 21lb 10oz.
Fox Digital Scales
Like everything else Chub produce, the scales where of very good quality. The size was very practical and the scales where very easy to use and provide everything a good pair of scales needs. Now, time for the results… The first weight of the lowest weight went 11lb 2oz, the second was bang-on 11lb and the third went 11lb 2oz, so very impressive. The first result of the heavier weight went 21lb 9oz, the second result went 21lb 11oz and the third went 21lb 12oz.
Korda Scales
These scales are done in collaboration with Reuben Heaton and Korda and, as predicted, have taken the market by storm. The Korda colours make the scales look very and feature the same outstanding qualities of any other Reuben Heaton dial scales, such as the stainless steel hook and hang point and strong polycarbonate body and lens. Right, the results! The first and third test went 11lb 2oz, whilst the second was 11lb. With the heavier weight all three tests recorded the same weight: 21lb 8oz.
Weighing Tips
1.) Almost ensure every item that will come into contact with the fi sh is thoroughly wet. When it comes to the weighing, drain off or slightly wring out any excess water from the sling.
3.) Use a whoppingly large mat to weigh your fi sh in, so the scales won't tare to zero? In this case, simply tare the scales to the nearest pound. Going to the nearest pound then makes it easier to deduct afterwards.
4.) When it comes to actually lifting the scales, don't hold the main housing of the scales, as this will give you an incorrect reading (i.e. it'll overweigh, so handy in the match!). Always hold or support the scales by the top ring or weigh bar.
The little extra's that make all the difference…
Scale Supports – For super, ultra precise weighing, get a scale support. These three-legged items will hold the scales in a fixed position so there's none of that needle bouncing and your mate telling you, "23lb 8oz… No, no, 23lb… Hang on, 23lb 4oz." Various companies do them, but Cygnet Tackle's is the best we've seen and used.
PVC- Backed Nylon Slings – One of, if not the best items to appear in the 'fish safety' market. Made from a PVC-backed nylon, it means the fish slides very easier, making it a doddle when it comes to returning your catch. Nash, TFG, Fox, Cygnet Tackle and Angling Intelligence all make really good ones, with the average price being around £20.
Consider the Weight Range
The best part of the digital scale is that you get the direct figures of the weight on your weighing scale screen. It is an electronic weighing scale that measures many readings. They are more accurate even better than mechanical scales. So a digital weighing scale would be a better choice for fishermen. They are more reliable and are more accurate.
Spring Weighting Scale
A spring scale measures the weight by reporting the distance that a spring deflects under a load. There is a horizontal lever in it which helps in measuring the weight.But the local gravitational force can affect the result of the spring weighing scale.
Attachment mechanism
Cheap fishing scales have a circular hook. And fishes like small mouth bass generally moves a lot and may slip off the hook. If the fish has teeth then it will come undone and will also cut your hand. So choose a scale which has closed hooks or a fish grip style scale.
Don't forget the handles. Easy and secure handles are a necessity when you're weighing large fish. To avoid problems, your fishing scale should have handles that let you put your fingers through it.This design will ensure you don't accidentally drop the scale as you're weighing the fish. There may be other design handles available, but this is the most convenient.
Battery Life is Important
This is another fishing scales buying tip that you'd do well to consider. While some fishing scales have the batteries included in the package, others require you to buy them separately. Obviously this will add to the cost.
Also, the fishing scale must have an indicator that will tell you if power is running low. Without this information you won't know when to replace it. Auto Turn off Feature:To save battery life, the fishing scale should have an auto turn off feature. By shutting down over a specified period of time, battery won't be wasted. This can be crucial in case you forget to turn the scales off after you use it to weigh the fish.
To top that off, the product comes in a small, compact, portable, and best of all — a reliable fit-in-your-pocket size. Its accompanying tare button comes in handy for users to simply zero the readout as they utilize containers.
Its measurement units vary in terms of ounces, pounds, kilograms, and the Chinese unit, jin. The monochromatic aesthetic of the third entry is very much pronounced by its inclusion of a LED that comes with one of the brightest, easy-to-read backlit display in the market now.
Handle is a little bigger for some to use
Dr. Meter's digital fishing scale is effectively durable. This is evidenced by its overall used materials such as the metal hand strap along with the stainless steel hook that is concealed right in the back slot. Powered by AAA batteries, the product can weigh up to 1lb or 50 kg capacity with 5g or 10g accuracy.
Meanwhile, its LCD screen provides users with weight measurements in gram, kilogram, pounds, and ounces; the built-in tape measures objects in centimeters, inches, and feet that are within one length.
The scale is proven to be ideal for night fishing for catches that range up to 1pounds — there is no need to go stabbing the fish to get its weight. The product is all the more appealing with its portability, high-density abs material, and practical design.
Handle is too small for its weight limit
The portability and high accuracy Mango Spot is offering are both a highlight. This offering makes it all the more suitable for your fishing escapades and if you will, your family's shop and outdoor activities, too! These features are enhanced further with the product's overall durability, price ratio, and excellent performance.
Practical, lasting and affordable: • Spring compression rate varies significantly by location, as different gravitational forces exist throughout the planet, resulting in different measurements. • Spring compression rate is significantly affected by ambient temperatures, meaning major temperature fluctuations can result in vastly different readings from one day to the next even if your weight remains the same.
Some displays come without a back light, which can make it hard to read in all but the best lighting scenarios, particularly low light conditions. Reading reviews and looking at pictures of the product should be sufficient to determine if the display is easy to read or not. Look for a minimum 3-inch display.
Battery Life
However, selecting a scale that runs on small button cell batteries to save battery life and potential battery expense (if not using rechargeable versions) will limit the options offered on the scale such as a high-res backlit display, BMI measurements and WiFi connectivity. Consider using rechargeable batteries or pricier lithium-ion batteries to offset the decreased battery life of higher-end units with more features.
It's been a exciting and busy month at ReelSonar! First, we are pleased to announce that we have just partnered with Dick's Sporting Goods to distribute the iBobber. That means you have even more brick and mortar options for purchasing an iBobber in addition to our many online distributors.
We also just rolled out major updates to our iBobber app, firmware, and ReelSonar website. Now you can purchase our ReelSonar Digital Scale and Multi-Tool Pliers straight from our website, and in honor of this update, we're starting a two-part series of How-To-Use product reviews.
First Impressions
Let's start with the superficial aspects. The Digital Scale comes packaged with practically everything you need to know already already printed on the box.
No assembly is required, which makes setup a breeze. You simply need two AAA batteries, and the instructions are included as standard procedure.
The scale itself is amazingly lightweight despite its 9lb/4kg weight capacity, and it fits comfortably in my hand either by holding it from the side or by the finger grips. As a left-handed person living in a righties' world, I don't feel like I have to hold the scale backwards or in an awkward position to read the display.
How To Use
The Digital Scale only has one button, which makes operating the device a breeze. Once you turn on the device, you can push the button to switch between pounds and kilograms. My scale's default was kilograms, so I switched it to pounds.
From there, you simply attach the fish and read the weight on the screen. If you want to put the fish in a container, the on/off button also pulls triple duty as a tare button. And just in case you forget any of the instructions, they are also printed on the back of the scale.
The last feature, which I was especially excited about, is the tape measure built into the scale. It's small, durable, and slides easily in and out of the scale. Now I won't have to worry about cramming a bulky measuring board into my kayak when I go fishing.
Grill Friends Silicone Brush
Pros. They keep rain, snow, wasps, birds, and other vermin out. If you have a shinyt stainless steel rig, it will keep it shinier. An expensive grill under cover will attract fewer thieves.
Cons. They are a bit of a pain because you have to wait til the grill cools and they gather rain when left off. But they can also trap moisture and humidity underneath and actually encourage rust and mold growth. For these reasons I cover only my grills and smokers that can collect water on the inside like my Weber Smokey Mountain, my Hasty Bake, and my pellet smoker (if the pellets ever melt and then dry out, getting your smoker up and running is an all day sucker).
Weber's Grill Pan Sears and Allows Smoke Through
You need a good cast iron griddle. Especially if you like fish, burgers, grilled sandwiches, home fries, or pancakes. Coat the flat side with oil, and you can sear fish so it is golden and crispy on the outside just like that great pan-seared fish you get in restaurants. Throw some dried herbs onto the flame, and you'll get a whisp of smoke in the meat.
You can even bring it indoors and it will straddle two burners. Use the flat side for pancakes. Flip it over and you get grill marks and conduction cooking from the ridges on steaks, burgers, or asparagus, and the fats and juices drip into the grooves where they vaporize and flavor the meat and cook by radiation.
This is a very handy tool. One word of caution. You may need two. If you use it for fish a lot, the flavor will remain on the surface, even after cleaning, so you won't be able to use it for pancakes.
I keep a cooking diary. In it I write down vital info about every cook so I can learn what works and what doesn't. OK. So I'm anal. But being anal got me this gig. The two most important variables to track in any cook are time and temp. So I used to wear a stopwatch around my neck when I cooked. Click when I fire up. Click when it is up to temp. Click when the meat goes on. Click when I add more wood or charcoal. Click when I turn. Click when I sauce. Click when I take it off. But have you seen the new digital stopwatches? They are a real pain with faaaar too many features and bells and whistles. My last one sat in my desk between cooks and beeped every hour and the only way I could make it shut up was with a hammer. True story. Now I use the very sinple user friendly Timestick.
Knob Where You Need It Makes Grilling Safer And Easier
Dishwasher safe stainless steel with OXO's popular nonslip rubber handles, they are the winner of the Tylenol/Arthritis Foundation Design Award. They are spring loaded and the ends are scalloped for better gripping. There is a loop for hanging and a mechanism that locks them in closed position for storing (which has failed after several years on all three pairs that I have). Regardless, they are still my faves. I just store them with a cardboard toilet paper core over the ends.
LamsonSharp Fish Tongs
Here's how to make two perfectly toasted panini style grilled sandwiches at once. Use this old fashioned double pie iron, originally designed for filled pies, for everything from Grilled Cheese to Pulled Pork.
Bayou Classic 8.Quart Cast Iron Dutch Oven
Forget the fancy high end pricey Le Cruset French Oven, this is the one you want for cowboy cooking and camping, and it comes in handy around the house. It's perfect for whole chickens or slow braising in the oven or in the grill.
Kitchen shears
When a recipe calls for garlic to be crushed, minced, or pressed, I use a garlic press. A good garlic press releases more oils and flavors than mincing with a knife and pressed garlic coats the food more evenly than mincing.
Digital kitchen scale
I don't know how I lived without a good, accurate digital kitchen scale for so many years. It is so important. Look at salt for example, cup of table salt has almost twice as much salinity as a cup of Morton's kosher salt because Morton's kosher salt has more air space between the grains. But a pound of all salts contain exactly the same amount of sodium chloride.
Grandma's Secret Spot Remover
I first heard about this from a competition cook. To say I was skeptical is an understatement. A spot remover that will remove the grease stains on almost all my shirts is something I considered to be as elusive as unicorns and perpetual motion machines. So I bought a ounce bottle and tried it on one of my t-shirts.
The instructions say that all you need is just a drop. Sure. I used three drops. My shirt came out so clean I could not find where the stain had been originally. So I tried it on a dress shirt, but fearful it would ruin it, I used only one drop. Again, the grease was gone! So I hauled out all my saucy and greasy shirt, 1in all, put Grandma to work, tossed them all into one tub, and before long, I had a new wardrobe. Utterly amazing stuff. And just for the record, I have been doing my own laundry since I went away to college, even through 40 years of marriage. May be a contributing factor to our longevity.
Even my wife is impressed with Grandma. She has used it on some of her finery including her Mom's table cloth with ancient spaghetti stains, stains that Oxi-Clean, her go to remover, couldn't handle.
This month
Withings Body for two months, and it provides the same features that made our previous pick so successful.
One year ago
Withings has released two new versions of our upgrade pick—the Withings Body and Withings Body Cardio. These scales provide the same features that made our current upgrade pick, the Withings WS-50, so successful and add some new tricks as well. We hope to have both the Body and Body Cardio in for testing as soon as possible, but in the meantime we've added what we know so far about these new scales to our What to look forward to section below.
How we tested
We set up all the scales in one room according to their manuals and calibrated them as instructed. Then I weighed myself a ridiculous number of times over a three-week period.
On each day's test, I stepped on and off each scale three times, noting if my weight changed within those few minutes to test for the scales' precision (consistency between readings). And then I weighed myself four more times on each scale with a 0.4-pound book, a 0.6-pound book, the two books together (1.0 pound), and a 10.1-pound dumbbell, sometimes switching the order of the weights to check differences between weight gains and weight losses. The books and the dumbbell were weighed at the post office so I could be sure of their weight accuracy (I'm told the post office calibrates its scales daily). For updates to this guide, we used shoes of different weights and a 5-pound dumbbell.
All in all, I weighed myself on each scale at least 40 times (more for the scales that ended up being our top picks).
What I learned is that scales often offer a seemingly manufactured sense of precision and accuracy: They may calculate your weight based on your previous readings rather than actually weighing you each time.
Scales often offer a seemingly manufactured sense of precision and accuracy: They may calculate your weight based on your previous readings rather than actually weighing you each time.
Key Features
Number two on our list is the Garmin Index Smart Scale, one of the greatest body fat analyzers that currently exist on the market.
This model is ideal for multiple users, able to store up to 1different profiles at one time. This is perfect if you reside in a setting with many other people, or if you want to use it at a gym.
The scale automatically detects which user is on it based on previous data. Customers have collectively raved that this scale is well worth its price.
A prime feature of the Garmin Index Smart Scale is its data storage application. Garmin has many resources available to assist you on your journey towards health, including several wearable devices that can sync with this top-of-the-line scale and then upload your data directly to the Garmin Connect app.
The app will keep track of not only your weight, but also your BMI, body fat and water percentage, muscle mass, and bone mass.
You can then go on to interact with other users in Garmin Connect's online community. Support is fundamental in making positive lifestyle changes. When overhauling a lifestyle and beginning a new one, we recommend getting a smart scale like this one that is a cut above the rest.
Quick and effective
While there are other methods of measuring body fat, like using calipers and tape measurements, results from these methods could be flawed due to simple human error.
They also involve a bit of mathematics, as height and weight will also need to be taken into account. In contrast, a body fat analyzer will allow for immediate and accurate results, with minimal effort and zero calculation on your part.
Perfect for home use
Innovative gyms and health centers may have body fat analyzers available for use, but purchasing one for yourself means that calculations can be done in the comfort and privacy of your own home.
This also allows for increased access to body fat readings and consistent monitoring without having to set up appointments for measuring. For those actively looking to decrease body fat percentages, constant access is a huge benefit.
Reduced health risk
While body fat does play a major role in keeping us healthy, too much body fat can quickly become harmful and, in some cases, deadly.
Heart disease, obesity, and diabetes are all potential side-effects of too much body fat. Using a body fat analyzer can help identify and prevent these issues before they become severe health risks.
Don't Overdo It
A scale can give you some idea about you where you stand in terms of health, but your body weight number doesn't show you the whole picture. People who suddenly start exercising tend to gain weight at first. That's because their bodies are growing more muscle tissue.
People who go on starvation diets do manage to lose weight right away, but they also lose muscle mass as well. Crash dieters end up feeling weak, tired and out of shape. They also suffer from metabolism issues that prevent them from keeping the weight off.
The Good
It's easy to turn on. If you want it to turn on this scale, all you have to do is step on it. Other scales require you to do a complicated tap dance with your feet.
Batteries and tape measurer included. Weight will only tell you so much about your health. You also need a tape measurer to track your progress, especially if you are doing any type of weight training.
Large, easy-to-read display. The large, backlit LCD display ensures that you won't have to squint or turn on the light to read your weight.
The Bad
This is a great basic all-around scale. However, it's a bit basic compared to the competition. The Precision Digital Bathroom Scale can't connect to the internet, read your heartbeat or analyze the quality of the air inside your house. All it does is tell you how much you weigh.
Results Rely on Accuracy
Digital kitchen scales are ideal for those following a medical diet, or those who are particularly into home baking, or hobbies such as soap making – which relies on exceptional accuracy, particularly when it comes to adding in lye.
When a gram less or more can make or break your project or meal, you learn to value accuracy – so, read our reviews, and choose the best set of kitchen food scales for you and your home.
Triomph BMI Digital Scales
If you're looking for an attractive scale that will give you guaranteed reliable and accurate body weight readings, the VIVE Digital Bathroom Scale fits the bill. With readings in.lb increments, it will give accurate weight readings up to 330 pounds. Users can choose between pounds, kilograms or stones.
The large, backlit display is super bright and easy to read even when it's dark in the room. The tempered glass platform is strong and sturdy and it's easy to keep clean as well.
The simple design looks great in any bathroom or bedroom and has a modern flair to it that is simple and elegant in design. You will be able to easily keep track of your body weight with this popular digital bathroom scale by VIVE. One of the best features is the step on activation; you don't have to tap it to turn it on anymore before you step on.
There are several things that you will need to consider when deciding on the type of bathroom scale you want. The first decision will be whether you want analog or digital but even after that, there are other features that scales can offer. Most of the features that scales have will be available on the digital scale and not the analog. Most analog scales simply measure weight and that it is.
Weight Range Capability – How much weight the scale can handle is very important for any users who are starting their weight loss journey at a significantly higher weight. Some of the analog scales only go up to 300 pounds but are inaccurate and unreliable above 250 pounds. Digital scales and the newer spring analog scales on the market now can handle much more weight, so going as high as 650 pounds. The higher weight capacity is great for those who have extreme weight problems and are serious about losing weight because they will have an accurate means of tracking every success down to the ounce that the user loses.
Voice Feature – Some digital scales have a voice feature that will read the weight out loud which can be great for those who have vision problems. Some may find it annoying or may even not like the lack of privacy having the weight announced causes. Voice features can cause the scale to be a bit more expensive than other digital models.
BMI Readings – BMI or Body Mass Index is important to some people, especially those who are more serious about not just losing weight but keeping track of their body fat as well. The BMI feature is more for serious bodybuilders than those just trying to reduce their weight.
Bone Mass Readings – This is a relatively new addition to the components that digital scales can measure. Bone mass is very important to keep track of, especially if they want to keep track of the possibility of osteoporosis or they take medicine that has an impact on the bones.
Memory – A memory feature on your digital scale can be really helpful for family members who are losing weight together and want to keep track of their progress easily. Most scales have the ability to keep track of several users, sometimes as many as different people.
Style and Color Options – Many people who want to purchase a bathroom scale want it to match the décor of their bathroom. There are tons of styles, colors and even shapes of bathroom scales available. Whether it's stainless steel, bamboo, glass or some other material, you will be able to find one that fits into your décor nicely. With enough research you can even find bright, colorful styles that can match a brightly patterned bathroom.
Tips for Selecting a Great Bathroom Scale
All of our Sunnydaze scales are energy efficient with resetting, auto zero, and auto shut-off which are all features to help save battery life when they're not in use.
LCD backlit screen
If your bathroom or bedroom has naturally darker lighting, you might want to choose a scale with an LCD backlit screen that is easy to read in all lighting conditions. Our Electronic Digital Glass Bathroom Scale with Step-on Technology and Digital Precision High-Accuracy Body Fat Bathroom Scale are perfect for the job.
Of course, you'll want a scale that matches the color theme of your home. Our selection of scales range from black, white, dark blue, silver, and clear. Our silver Precision Digital Glass Bathroom Scale even has an intricate and elegant design of a dandelion on its surface.
Not just weighing machines
Smart scales measure a lot more than our weight. A decent set should also inform us of our Body Mass Index (BMI), lean mass, and body fat percentage. These metrics help us understand what our own best weight should be, as it depends on your height as much as your actual weight in kilos or stones.
When measuring the various health stats remember that these averages are just that, and an individual's best ranges may differ depending on various factors. If in doubt discuss these with your doctor.
Positioning the scales
Where you place your scales is important, as you'll get different readings (sometimes out by a few kg or pounds) depending on where it is on the floor. Put it on a flat, hard surface (bathroom tiles work well) if you can, and not on carpet, which will trick the scales into understating your weight. Some scales (for example, the Salter Body Analyser Scale) can be adapted for use on carpet.
While many people want to track their weight and the number of steps they take in a day to get a better sense of their health, some people are a little more, shall we say, excited, to get on the scale every morning. Athletes and people who train regularly will want a scale that has not only great features, but a lot of other companion apps and tools that can help them on their journey.
Omron HN-28Digital Weight Scale
Stop the guesswork and take control of your weight with this precision digital scale from Kinzi. Made with ultimate precision in mind, this digital scale guarantees accurate readings every time. It will track your progress effortlessly with its backlit, extra-large LCD screen that makes it easy and straightforward to read your weight. Ideally, it is built with German high-precision sensors, implying it can weigh up to 400 pounds (180kgs) with 2-pound (1-kilogram) increments. When not in use, the Kinzi Digital Bathroom Scale turns off automatically to conserve power. It runs on two AAA batteries (not included) for noticeable results.
VIVE Digital Bathroom Scale
Studies have demonstrated that tracking your weight on a regular basis contributes to greater success as far as reaching your goals and maintaining good health is concerned. And that is what VIVE, one of the top leading manufacturers of digital scales, has realized. Stylish and extremely thin, VIVE's digital scale is constructed with tempered glass. It features a luminous blue LCD screen with push button, which displays weight in kilograms, stone or pounds. The scale is not only rigorously tested but also it is FDA-approved for safety and comfort. It weighs up to 330 pounds in 2-pound increments.
The Nokia Body+ not only measures more types of data than other scales do but also presents the information in an intuitive, useful app. Measuring 12.x 12.inches, the Body+ is large enough to accommodate my size 1feet. I wish its 2.7x 1.75-inch display were larger, but the bright-white letters and numbers are easy to read.
Rapala RTDS-15
The large touchscreen on this fishing scale enables you to easily view the measured values for convenient recording and comparison. Made to help you keep track of your catch, this large model provides measured values in different weighing formats including decimal pounds, kilograms and pounds and ounces for effortless totaling and accuracy. Enjoy easy determination of the position of every catch with the multi-unit measurement capability.

I am delighted by my new CFFA 3000, period! OK, I will not leave you wanting more, so I will say a bit extra about it. But first, if you want one, there may be a few left here: https://goo.gl/yb2xMt. Beware, this fifth run of the board may be the last one done by Richard Dreher (R&D Automation). No, the CFFA 3000 is not a vacuum cleaner, but a floppy – and hard drive – replacement for the Apple II computers. Officially, it is called a CF and USB Flash Interface for Apple II. I used mine to replace my quikLoader (QLR4-0317) in my Apple //e enhanced.
The card accepts CF and USB storage devices (but no USB hubs), which makes it much convenient than having to flash EEPROMs. And as a user, you just have to focus on cramming as much as possible disk images into the FAT 16 or 32 partition with MBR (.DSK, .DO, .PO, .NIB, and .2MG image formats are supported). The card takes a slot (slot#1 in my setup) and is assigned to another slot (where the disks will be emulated – slot#6 in my setup). If a physical Disk II interface is present, you will have to remove it (the assigned slot must stay empty). I am using my card as a disk II drives (x2). I guess that if I had an IIGS, I would use it as a hard drive replacement. After setting a few jumpers, connecting the optional remote, and installing the card, you have a few seconds (can be changed) after each power-up to enter the CFFA 3000 menu. It turns out to be very simple and intuitive to use. In particular, I appreciate the easy navigation in the directory trees and between the menu pages.
Ready to Flip?
For example, I really wanted to play Conan: Hall of Volta (DataSoft – 1984) this morning. If you ever played the game on the real thing, you know that after a long load from one side of the floppy, you need to swap the floppy (to the other side) and hit a key to allow the game finish its loading. To do the same with the CFFA 3000, add the images of both sides of the floppy into the images list associated with the first drive. Select the first side of the list and boot. Conan starts to loads and when the game invites you to flip the floppy, simply press the drive #1 button on the remote. This makes the CFFA 3000 point that drive to the second side image of the list. Just have to press any key! Add any extra images the same way if you have an application spread thru multiple disks – with or without multiple sides. The remote is really cool since it also reproduces the activity and status LEDs, which is very convenient if you keep the computer closed. Indeed, the cover hides the LEDs located on the top of the card. Check out the videos to see it in action.
Good Advice
As mentioned earlier, once you have your CFFA 3000 up to and running the game consists of filling the CF cards or USB keys (yes, you can use both at the same time – and they are hot-swappable) with images of your preferred games and applications. One can make their own images from original floppies – using the CFFA 3000 itself – or, downloading them from the Internet (check out the Asimov FTP site). The problem is that sometimes the images are bogus or will not work on your configuration. So, instead of testing each image one by one with your real Apple II, you can use an emulator on your workstation to do the selection. For instance, I've tested all the images on the Apple //e emulator for Windows. Once the game checks out as working (and being the game you remembered from 30 years ago – yeah, memory can play you tricks), just drag and drop the images to the storage media. Could it be easier? Hardly. This is why I started writing "I am delighted by my new CFFA 3000, period!". Have a nice WE.
Note: All pictures & videos are by me, except the picture of the Conan game box (https://goo.gl/JFqDqk)

Should you get a pop-up like this one. Do not follow the advice in the window, and in particular, do not call the number in the window. Just close the browser immediately. DO NOT click on any part of the window, as this can trigger a virus installation. If the pop-up is preventing you from closing the browser, then reboot your computer. Also, make a mental note of the site you were visiting when the alert popped up. Very often it will be a news site or a content aggregation site; the type of site with lots of ads in the borders or strewn throughout the articles. Avoid the site if possible, and certainly avoid clicking on anything "interesting" in the margins.
Microsoft will never request that you call them about a security issue (in fact I can't think of any instance in which Microsoft will request that you call them). Calling the number will lead you to an offshore site that will tell you that they will clean up your system for a fee, and once they have remote access it's anybody's guess what will actually happen.
Don't do it!

Many tree removal service companies leave behind a tree's stump after the bole and branches of tree have been removed. At Skyline we recommend removing the entire stump as part of the tree removal process.
Why should you remove tree stumps?
Stumps can be unsightly and potentially hazardous and puts you at risk for liability.
Stumps are a wonderful haven for termites, ants, roaches and rodents. Possums, squirrels, raccoons, snakes and other creatures love to nest in abandoned tree stumps, and often will move into walls, garages, and attic spaces of nearby homes.
When we remove a tree stump, we grind it into nutrient-rich mulch that you can use in your garden.
Tree stump removal and grinding is relatively inexpensive and the benefits far outweigh the risks. Call us today for a free estimate at (630) 584-2221. We are available for emergency calls 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Emerging and established poets will unite in 22 Pillars, an experimental performance all about Fremantle.
The event is part of High Tide, where artists respond to their local environment, and all 22 poets will explore some aspect or archetype of the port city.
"To have the whole cohort focused on the Fremantle theme is really a first for the city," says event director Jennifer Kornberger.
Over the last few years Kornberger has been experimenting with ways to bring poetry into new contexts, and her two previous spoken word projects, Forest of Poets and Oraculum, were performed in public places to create a raw exchange with the audience.
"I've always had a simple fascination with the way people can be moved by words, how they can be stirred or soothed or shown another way to feel," Kornberger says.
But 22 Pillars will go further than her previous works with the addition of a choir, who will sing about the significance of limestone in Fremantle's history and culture.
Kornberger says the choir will add another element to the live performance and develop the idea that poetry is a unifying and collective experience.
"As a writer I know that poetry can be a fairly solitary pursuit—there's the poet with the pen and there's the reader with the book," she says.
"But in its roots, poetry is communal.
"It's a shared mythos—it's the first songs of every culture."
So when High Tide curator Tom Muller asked Kornberger to create a piece in response to the Pakenham Street Art Space, she decided to merge space and landscape with poetry to create a "living artwork that speaks, creates images, and makes its own world.
"It's an orderly, evocative space, almost like a crypt," Kornberger says.
"It has literally 22 jarrah pillars, each one crying out to be inhabited by a poet."
There's nothing in the performance to distract from the words: the lighting is simple and the human voice raw, and the poets' costumes, designed by local designer Deborah McKendrick, are elegant and unadorned.
Kornberger says the performance will break down parameters and present poetry in a "completely new way", with the hope that it will demonstrate, in one way or another, why verse is indispensable to our lives.
22 Pillars will be at PSAS, as part of the Fremantle Festival, on November 3-4.

No joy but running well
It was always going to be tough to keep up our winning run this week with just three big-priced runners but they kept up the good form of the horses by all finishing in the money and better than their odds suggested. Thursday was a busy one for owner Carol Bushnell as all three runners were owned by her. She opted to watch Highway Robbery and Winter Snowdrop run their hearts out at Epsom whilst Noble Account stepped up on his maiden form to run a promising race at Newbury. All three should be in for more success this year.
Finding a winner this week might prove a bit tricky again but we will go to the races hopeful anyway, starting with New Expo at Wolverhampton on Monday. I would ideally want to run him on the grass but there wasn't a suitable race for a while so he can have a run here to keep him ticking over. His last run was a waste of time after he dropped himself out and never got into the race so we will get him up the front this time and hope he stays there. He is a beautiful-looking horse who has ability as he showed the time before at Yarmouth but we are still figuring him out at the moment.
On Tuesday we will be at Nottingham with a pair of runners and hopefully Telekinetic has a good chance. Like New Expo, she was never involved in her last race and you can forget that run as she likes to be up with the pace too. She ran well over this course and distance earlier in the year so fingers crossed she can get back to near somewhere like that form.
Sir Fred will be going with her but he needs soft ground. He's unlikely to get it but he can't sit in his stable all summer so a run will help him keep fit while we wait for his optimum conditions.
Last week's meeting at Yarmouth was the first this year that we haven't had a runner at due to the firm ground but we should be there this week with a couple of chances.
Exning Queen ran ok in her three novice races and has been given a sensible handicap mark. I think she'll be better over seven furlongs but there isn't a suitable race for a while so she will have to have a go over six furlongs this time.
Raha would ideally want the ground a bit softer but this looks a perfect race for her so she will run anyway. She is one of the highest rated in the race so hopefully she can show her class despite the ground.
Oud Metha Bridge is also entered here and at Haydock at the end of the week but we will see how he is feeling after a couple of hard races before making a decision to run. Sarah rides him every day at home and knows when he is back to his best so we will listen to her.
A Michael Jackson tribute is playing after racing at Newmarket on Friday and I'm looking forward to seeing that after Spanish Mane runs there earlier in the evening. She has been lacking confidence since her crashing fall at Yarmouth a few months ago but there are signs that she is regaining it now and she is very well handicapped as soon as she does feel good again.
You may have noticed that Shelley is jocked up on a few of our runners again after her injury two months ago and I am pleased to say that she passed the doctor last week and has been passed fit to race ride again so expect to see her at the races very soon.
I was busy at the end of this week at Tattersalls July Sale where it proved very hard to buy anything which was good value as the weak pound meant that plenty of foreign investors were in town to buy horses for their own countries. We looked at loads of horses but continually found them fetching double what they are worth and that really wouldn't be good value for my owners. It wasn't until the evening of the final day that I found a bargain in the form of a three-year old filly called Any Smile. Trained by Michael Bell, she showed promise when placed in her first couple of runs on the all-weather before disappointing recenty in turf races. It might just be that she is better on the sand and her trainer recommended her to me as a decent buy. She will be a good, fun syndicate horse who only ran last Tuesday so is ready run again soon and details of how to get involved will be released as soon as I finalise them.

Novel medication verification product
The large diversity in medication and the growing amounts, require a delicate and precise distribution process.
Although the process is strictly controlled, the actual administering of medication by nurse to patient, is impossible to monitor. According to national data, in 1 in 5 cases, mistakes are made. But with the introduction of MedEye, this is history. The innovative product, developed by startup MintSolutions, provides nurses and healthcare workers a single place where they can verify all medications – oral solids, injections, compounded and repackaged medication. Administration details are then automatically stored in a patient's medication administration record.
The MedEye project received funding from the European Union's Horizon 2020 FTI program. Catalyze was responsible for writing the grant proposal. With the grant and the support of a strong group of partners MedEye will expand in the UK and long term care markets with project investments totalling €3M.

Pisces are gentle and often considered docile. Some are observant to the extent of telepathy and may read our body language as if we were the open books within their hands and all they have to do is read loud and clear so it would all make sense! It is well-known that Pisces men tend to get close very quickly, but the surprising part is that once they dig into the depths of your heart, they may not find it impossible to swim away with the current, leaving us utter surprised. But, how to attract a Pisces man now? Read on to figure that out.
1st Tip: Understand their Nature
You must be aware of the fact that Pisces does not really prefer to be in relatively loud or crowded places. They often tend to trickle away to find peace in their own solitude. This fact is perhaps owing to the ultimate reasoning of their nature being dampened down in such places with higher energy.
2nd Tip: Understand what Pisces want
A Pisces man would prefer to be with someone who understands his nature and does not criticize him for it. In order to learn how to attract a Pieces man, you need to understand that he will only lean towards an individual that will not exploit his emotional vulnerabilities or take advantage of his sensitivity. This pure soul struggles for his capabilities and shines brighter than the rest when something is actually accomplished.
Pisces men are often far from the realities of their lives, and hence, they are attracted to a significant other who may help them with facing the realities and the challenges of life. Simply put, How to attract a Pisces man? Show him that you can help him every step of the way in his problems. Your warm presence will become something he will truly come to love.
3rd Tip: Active Imaginations!
Pisces men have big imaginations, and when they dream about achieving something in life, they want to share their dreams with someone. In order to make a Pisces love you unconditionally, be the guiding soul this artist's spiritual needs.
4th Tip: Optimistic Approach to life
A Pisces is perhaps the easiest star to date by far because no matter how many experiences or breakups; this star has gone through, he will always wait for the one woman who will be able to spend the rest of her life by his side.
He can be difficult at times because a Pisces seldom makes use of logical reasoning and favors utilizing his imaginations. This leads him to be indecisive and shy. In order to keep a Pisces man, one must be sure to be a friend before anything else. Perhaps, a friend that the Pisces will blindly trust, no matter what!
5th Tip: Get romantic
A life with Pisces may not be entirely eventful, but it will be ideal for those who are not up for the zeal of life offered by Sagittarius and Aquarius. Pisces is, by far, known as the most hopelessly romantic sign of the Zodiac and this is a perfect condition for the women who are affected by romantic stories because, trust me, ladies, your Pisces man may have heard of them all! That is another easy route to how to attract a Pisces man!
Oftentimes, it is believed that Pisces men are young at hearts and lively in their spirits as they are always looking for chances to make an escape from their daily routines of lives that have them trapped into a vicious circle. Ideally, in order to attract a Pisces man, be the crutch they can blindly trust and rely on. The more they feel that you are an anchor in their lives, the more they will devote themselves to you. You care about their happiness, and in return, they care about yours.
6th Tip: Get interested
Despite their young nature, they love to have a lengthy conversation about anything fascinating and surreal. They are true artists at the soul and avid readers so another good way to indulge a Pisces man would be by asking him about his favorite book. No matter how strange the book is – Pisces will give it a read. They live more inside those books than in the real worlds and perhaps it's safe to say that they believe in magic truly being real.
7th Tip: Reciprocate the Feeling
How to attract a Pisces man? Perhaps it is a hidden tip that you can gain a Pisces' sympathy by enlisting on his tender-feelings. Pisces is always there for those that need them and always provide an ear to listen as they are good at handling other people's feelings. Therefore, a good way to attract a fish-sign man for yourself is to reciprocate his feelings for you. Just showing him that you would work like wonder.
One should always remember to never back a Pisces man into a corner. This will not only make them wary of the whole relationship, but it will also stretch out the distance between you two, that both parties have worked hard to bring together in a knitted relationship. Pressuring them and forcing them into a situation where they are not comfortable will naturally bring about a reaction from them to escape the situation – the relationship with you. Pisces generally have low self-esteem woven into their being, and you just have to be encouraging enough to uplift their spirits.
When wondering how to attract a Pisces man, you need to realize that this is perhaps the kindest sign of Zodiac that deserves nothing less than the true kindness and pure-hearted affection that they wish to spread out to their beloved. It is not difficult to love a Pisces, and neither is it difficult to stay with them.

It was a chance, last-minute decision to make this gorgeous soup today. I popped into Waitrose to buy a few things, saw a wonderful knobbly celeriac and couldn't resist buying it. With the cold mornings and evenings we've had over the last week or so, and days drawing in, it's soup time again. I love to have some portions of homemade soup in my freezer ready for a quick lunch on an autumn or winter's day.
Despite its rather ugly appearance – for which it's known and, I guess, puts some people off – celeriac is a beautiful and versatile vegetable and, despite its bland cream flesh, surprisingly good for you. It has lots of health benefits including being a good source of calcium and magnesium, so is good for bone health. It also has good amount of potassium, so is good for regulating blood pressure, and is a great source of Vitamin C and other minerals and vitamins. As the name suggests, it's related to celery and has a similar flavour but is nuttier in taste with a lovely creamy texture when cooked. It's been used in European cooking since the 1600s and some say it was first cultivated in Italy. But it goes back as far as the 8th century when it was mentioned in Homer's The Odyssey as selinon.
To be honest, it's not why I like it. I like the 'bonus' of the health benefits but I buy it and eat it because I love the taste. It wonderful raw in the famous French salad, Remoulade de Celeri-Rave, and I like it as a mash – half and half with potato – to go with a rich winter stew. I've made it as a simple soup before, but while I was having a light lunch and watching the end of an old Hairy Bikers' programme about apples and pears on iPlayer, their soup made with celeriac and apples came up and the coincidence was too great to resist.
And, of course, it's the apple season with lovely British apples coming into the shops. Some Cox's apples I had were just crying out to be paired with the knobbly celeriac.
I followed the Hairy Bikers' recipe pretty much to the letter, with just slight adjustments. They garnish the soup at the end with crispy bacon, which sounds lovely, but I was going for the vegetarian option today and was also planning to freeze much of it.
Celeriac & Apple Soup
- 3 eating apples
- 50g butter
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 2 medium (125g) onions, chopped
- 1 celeriac (about 800g), peeled and cut into chunks
- 1 large carrot, cut into chunks
- 2 garlic cloves, crushed
- 1 large (250g) potato, peeled and cut into chunks
- 1 level teaspoon dried oregano or thyme
- 1 litre stock
- sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
Peel the apples, core and cut into quarters. Melt 25g butter in a pan and add the apple. Fry over a medium heat until lightly browned and caramelised.
Meanwhile, in another large saucepan, melt the remaining butter with the olive oil. Tip in the prepared onions, celeriac and carrot. Gently cook for about 15 minutes until softening and starting to brown. Then add the apples (with their juices), garlic and potato. Sprinkle over the dried herbs (the Hairy Bikers used fresh thyme and a bay leaf – to be removed before blitzing at end) and cook for just a few minutes, stirring to mix well.
Pour in the stock – use whatever you prefer, vegetable or a light chicken stock. Season with salt and pepper. Bring to a boil and turn down to simmer for about 25 minutes, or until the vegetables are soft. Stir occasionally. When cooked, blitz the soup with a stick blender until smooth.
I served it with a dollop of natural yoghurt and some chopped fresh parsley, and drizzled a little extra virgin olive oil over it. You might prefer crème fraîche or even fresh cream if you're feeling indulgent.
It was such a gorgeous soup and a wonderful marriage of the nutty celeriac with the sweet caramelised apples. A perfect dish for a cold autumn day.

Financier turned frankfurtier Nicholas Gray opened his hot-dog-and-papaya-juice stand on Broadway and West 72nd Street in 1973. Since then, Gray's Papaya has grown into a three-location mini-chain famous for two things: cheap, tasty franks and the iconoclastic political messages spouted from banners in its front windows. (The current proclamation: YES, MR. PRESIDENT-ELECT OBAMA, WE ARE READY TO BELIEVE AGAIN.) Gray talked sauerkraut statecraft with Jesse Oxfeld.
Were the political banners there from the beginning?
The first was for Ramsey Clark, in 1974. He ran for the Senate against Jacob Javits. He was attorney general in the Johnson administration, and he's now a famous lawyer. He defends the ayatollah, people like that. Controversial types. But he was a good man in those days, a card-carrying liberal.
And that was your eureka moment—that you could support his campaign by putting a sign in the window of your hot-dog store?
We have a lot of traffic, and I have some strong political convictions. I did it for Jimmy Carter. I did it for Clinton when he was being impeached. "Hang in there, Mr. President," was all I put. No Republicans.
But you were a Giuliani supporter.
I liked his polite–New Yorker campaign. I don't particularly like the man now. I'm a liberal, a card-carrying liberal. Like most of my constituents.
Actually, your signs have always seemed not that far left, by New York City standards.
They're regular, you know, common-sense signs.
Which made Bloomberg a good fit for you—you had signs encouraging him to run for president.
Oh, completely. And he's a very nice guy, by the way. He came by and got a hot dog.
Before or after you endorsed him? [Laughs]
After I put the sign in the window.
You currently have Obama signs up on the Upper West Side and in Greenwich Village, but you don't—
I don't have any room in midtown, it's a pain in the neck!
But it's not that the Upper West Side and Greenwich Village are more receptive? No, no, no, not at all.
When did the recession special—a cheap price for two hot dogs and drink—start?
Oh, years ago. Back in the eighties sometime. And it's always been there since—I say my customers are always in a recession.
They are now, certainly. But the recession special just went up to $4.45 in October.
I do what I have to do.
You raised the price in the middle of an actual recession!
My payroll goes up, my rent goes up, my insurance. The cost of food is astronomical these days. I used to be famous for being cheap; now I'm only reasonable.
Will it be able to stay at $4.45 for a while?
God, I hope so. Every time it goes up it's traumatic.
For you or for your customers?
For me and my customers.

Keeping Your Joints Healthy
Did you know that more than 80 percent of all sports injuries involve joints? We tend to focus heavily on building muscle, yet ignore the importance of keeping our joints healthy for long term performance and maintenance. This article by Herald Tribune gives some great pointers so that can avoid pain and injury:
"Lose weight. The more fat you lug around, the more stress to your joints. Every pound you lose equates to four pounds less pressure on your knees. Best advice? Don't diet. Eat real food in modest amounts, lots of fruits and vegetables, limiting sugar and gluten.
Cross-train. This is just a fancy way of saying you shouldn't focus on one sport or activity to get fit. By cross-training — doing a mix of sports you enjoy — you avoid the kind of single-sport repetitive motion that can cause joint problems over time. Cross-training helps you develop muscles in areas untouched by your primary sport, and strong muscles help stabilize and protect your joints. If you're uncertain about a good cross-training complement to your sport, do yoga. It's an ancient and magnificent way to keep your joints strong, flexible and spacious.
Lubricate. Joints have juices, lubricating fluids that allow your joints to move with more ease and less stress. To activate those juices, start your exercise routine with a gentle 5-10-minute warm-up and gradually increase your effort. Another good way to self-lube is water, water and more water.
Strength train. Joints need protection. Your muscles, tendons and ligaments are designed to protect your joints. If they're weak, they can't do their job. It's YOUR job to get them strong and flexible, and the best way to do that is a well-designed, well-executed strength-training program that includes stretching. Get a trainer, read a book or take a class, but do something! If you do nothing, over time you will become weaker and weaker and — believe this! — your joints will suffer.
Get balanced. About 55 percent of all joint injuries involve the knee. Balance exercises promote leg strength and stability and protect the knee. There are many wonderful standing poses in yoga, qi gong and tai chi that challenge your balance and help you improve it. So will working out with wobbly balance boards, rubbery half domes and exercise balls. Muscle imbalance also contributes to joint problems. Typically, it's your back, side and rear leg muscles that are underdeveloped and overly tight. Yoga and qi gong, so different from traditional sports, help you create awareness of these areas and position you to bring them back into balance.
Don't overdo it. Joints need tender care. If you carelessly yank them around, overuse them or work them in ways they're not intended to go, they will rebel. Trying to lift too much weight, for instance, is a very jerky thing to do. So is overtraining, doing too much, too often, on muscles and joints not ready for the stress and strain. Learn to listen to your body. Think about giving it a name: "Hi, Hal. Are you warmed up yet?" Understand the range of motion for joints (knees, for example, are supposed to hinge, not rotate). Be mindful about your movement and never push past joint pain.
Fight inflammation with food. The anti-inflammatory diet is a well-documented way of eating that decreases disease-causing inflammation throughout the body, including the joints. It avoids foods that make inflammation worse — processed food, grain carbs, sugar — and emphasizes healthy fats, including olive oil and omega-3 foods like salmon, herring, sardines, flaxseed and walnuts. Antioxidants, such as vitamin C (in foods, not supplements), selenium and carotenes are part of the anti-inflammatory diet, and so are bioflavonoids (quercetin and anthocyanidins) found in onions, kale, leeks, blueberries and red and black grapes. Ginger and turmeric are two spices that also fight inflammation."
