Guest guest Posted June 25, 2007 Report Share Posted June 25, 2007 Herb, We us it at the US Olympic Training Center, mainly speed skater, for a variety of exercises. The vibrational plate makes the activity much more difficult and aids in proprioception.

Can it be used in billing the same as a facilitating procedure like ultrasound etc. I'd appreciate any info on this. Thanks, Herb Freeman D.C. The trouble with women is that they treat bridge as a game. They do not realize it is a war. If you have the slightest touch of masochism, you'll love this game. Bridge is a great comfort in old age. It also helps you get there faster. One gets used to abuse. It's the waiting that is so trying. -Rueful Rabbit. Since the average person's small supply of politeness must last a lifetime, he can't afford to waste much of it on bridge partners. -Alfred Sheinwold Bridge is essentially a social game, but unfortunately it attracts a large number of antisocial people. One advantage of bad bidding is that you get practice at playing atrocious contracts. -Alfred Sheinwold "Where's the hand you held during the auction?" -Jan Nanitschke when he saw the dummy. South: Alert! East: Yes? I'm requested to further misdescribe my hand. It's not the handling of difficult hands that makes the winning player. There aren't enough of them. It's the ability to avoid messing up the easy ones. -Alan Sontag The sum of all technical knowledge cannot make a master bridge player. -Ely Culbertson. The difference between genius and stupidity at the bridge table is that genius has its limits. I'm not sure whether glory or masterpoints is first on the list of beginning tournament players, but I know learning to play better is definitely last. -Moi. I'd like a review of the bidding with all of the original inflections. The average defender operates in a fog of uncertainty. -H. W. Kelsey ] Regardless of what sadistic impulses we may harbor, winning bridge means helping partner avoid mistakes. - A player who can't defend accurately should try to become declarer (or dummy). -Alfred Sheinwold The real secret of the expert is to make logic seem like flair. -H. W. Kelsey ] If you play bridge with your wife as a partner you need at least 20 points to open the bidding and it wouldn't hurt to have 25. -Joe Learn from the mistake of others. You won't live long enough to make them all yourself. -Alfred Sheinwold. I favor light opening bids. When you're my age, you're never sure that the bidding will get back around to you in time.-Oswald y at 77. Years ago there were only two acceptable reasons for not leading partner's suit: (1) having no cards in the suit; (2) sudden death. -Alfred Sheinwold I think we're all a little masochistic. Otherwise, why would we continue to play bridge? We had a partnership misunderstanding. My partner assumed I knew what I was doing. My partner is 20 years behind the times. Nowadays you pay your money to bid. My partner still thinks you need high cards. Your play was much better tonight and so were your excuses. We play forcing hesitations. A fellow had made a bad bid and had gone down 1400. "I'm sorry," he said to his partner, "I had a card misplaced". "Only one?" asked his partner innoncently. - Goren If I did everything right, I wouldn't be playing with you. When I take a 50-50 chance, I expect it to come off 8 or 9 times out of 10. -The Hideous Hog. The guy who led the 8 from a 98 doubleton because his teacher told him "eight ever, nine never." What do you call an eight card suit? Answer: Trump A lady is playing in her first duplicate hears an opponent say: "Alert". The lady says: "I am alert". Know the difference between a serial killer and a bridge partner? Answer: You can reason with the serial killer. or Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted February 23, 2008 Report Share Posted February 23, 2008 I clicked on the link below, and after reading about the vibrating platforms, clicked on a link at that site that took me to a review (and sales offer) of a book about core stability. I'm probably the last person on earth to read about core stability, but it looks to me like this is really important in preventing injury. Whether it would help those of us with chondromalacia or not, I don't know. However, achieving core stability seems to me now to be vitally important in staying in shape, and, as an Aging Person, I desperately want to stay in shape. They have quite a long page of info about what needs stabilizing & why. I hope I can find a book on it that doesn't cost $38. (I'm not promoting this book - I just stumbled on it.) Here are some vibrating machines that are available: http://www.google.com/products?sourceid=navclient & ie=UTF-8 & rlz=1T4GGIH_enUS255US\ 255 & q=vibrating+platforms & um=1 Hell. Now I want one -- but at $400? Ann Re: Vibrating platforms Never heard of that one. Where would you get such a thing?

Guest guest Posted February 24, 2008 Report Share Posted February 24, 2008 Seems to me that you can develop core stability in lots of other ways.. that you wouldn't need a machine... just my two cents. I've found Pilates has developed my core strength just fine. I haven't found any relief in my knees from having the core strength, but it's a good thing to have anyways! =) Robin =) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
