I gotta tell ya, I LOVE LOVE LOVE getting on the scale. I don't know what it is about stepping on that scale and watching the number go up and down like it does, but it motivates me either way. If the weight is up, then it makes me determined to get it down. If my weight is down, then I rejoice and let that push me to even greater success. In fact, this study proves those who weigh often are usually the most successful at keeping their weight off over the long-term.

Although we make several Bird related things (bird marionettes, boingy birds, costume feather wings, and feather head and hairpieces) we haven't yet participated in Easton's Fabulous Water Fowl Festival. After selling our wares for 33 weekends at the Renaissance Festivals each year it's fun to attend this November event as patrons of the arts, rather than sitting behind a table.

NO, but a lot of relatively tall (5'6" and up) and slim but not skinny women fit into smaller men's sizes very nicely.

We recommend that you weigh yourself once or twice a week, always on the same scales and under the same conditions (preferably in the morning, naked, when you are not dehydrated). The most important thing is to measure weight changes over a long term. Every weighing scale is calibrated differently and there can be some differences between the measurement results on two different products. However, if these variations are under +/- 2kg, then the product is not defective.

Every morning at the same time of day. This is your true body weight. It never hurts to be aware of your body weight. This is a good habit to get into before your maintenance program, because if you ever notice a small weight gain you would be likely to respond by promptly getting stricter with your diet.

What is more important is the percentage of body fat to lean tissue. Since muscle weighs more than fat you may weigh more than you thought was average for your height and build. There is still much controversy around the "ideal" body weight. It is usually considered that a healthy body fat percentage for males is 12-15% and for females is 18-22%. You should have your body fat percentage monitored every few months to make sure that your current exercise/nutritional plan is working.

Cairns typically weigh between 13 and 17 pounds. However, it is not unusual to see a Cairn weighing 20 pounds or slightly more and still be in good weight.

sq. inch of "foundry" type weighs 4.179 oz. (+/-) or 118.5gm This by weighing unused 18pt ATF Baskerville M's. Therefore, there is 3.828 sq. inches of printing surface/lb. of foundry type. Or 8.438 sq. inches of printing surface/kilo of foundry type. (This allows you to visualize how much type you get when looking at the price per pound or kilo) The weight of monotype is usually less as the castings are less dense, but it's probably fractional.

Your AGRO-JET® will come with either a 5 lb or 2.5 lb CO2 cylinder; the weight referring to the amount of CO2 that can be compressed into the cylinder. The larger cylinder weighs approximately 20 lbs at full capacity; the lesser about 10 lbs. Both cylinders come complete with their own back-pack style vest allowing for a very comfortable carry; so much so that it's easy to forget it's even there!

In March, Kandula weighed about 4,250 pounds, and is still a growing boy, expected to reach 10,000 pounds or more by the time he is an adult.
