I do a lot of work with kettlebells, and saw some videos about using clubs. However, the clubs that Wildman and others use seem to be pretty expensive for a person who is not yet committed to clubs. I was thinking of starting with 10lb and seeing how my joints respond.

The challenge I am finding is that the Amazon stuff is really small and I don't imagine I get the correct movement challenges with such short clubs. Of course, I don't know anything about clubs, but is is just an uninformed guess. But to get a longer size, seems like I have to go to the more expensive clubs which I don't want to commit to yet. Does it make sense to buy like a 10 lb mace and use it as a club--if that is possible. Any suggestions would really be appreciated.

I love the taste of channa dal in my tempering or tadka in a dish. However, my father has some challenges eating the hard channa dal, due to dental issues. So I was wondering if there is a way that I can make the channa dal a little more friendly for him. He can handle the urad dal just fine, but I hate to sacrifice the channa dal taste.

I was wondering if anyone has ever tried soaking the channa dal and then putting that into the tempering? I am pretty sure the water will cause the oil to spurt up, so I have to be careful. Hence, I wanted to ask if anyone has done this before trying it myself.

I think I have tried to powder the channa dal before putting it into the tempering, but that did not work very well.

If anyone found a good work around, please pass along your suggestions.

My father is getting his CI next month as well as a new hearing aid. He is getting the Med-El Sonnet 3. So I wanted to see if I can simplify some of the in-home streaming setup by using Auracast devices in the house. The idea seems sound, but understanding the ins and outs of all of the different standards is getting really confusing. I am a technical person, but there is very little I am finding in terms of consistent resources online.

I was wondering if there are any stores or places I can go to, to get some help with this. I live in San Jose, CA so the center of Silicon Valley. I believe stores like Best Buy sell some Auracast transmitters, but I am not sure if the staff are very knowledgeable about connecting hearing aids and such. I talked to my father's Audiologist, but she also is not very familiar with the details of the technology. Would I have to go to some sort of specialty electronics store or something?

With so many different standards and configurations, I don't want to buy stuff only to find that components are not compatible.
