Row, row, row your boat - NewsTimes: "'I like being on the water and I like the challenge' said Greg Schnuck, of Danbury, who started rowing last June. 'You work on balance and technique, and it's not rushed. It's a wonderful workout and it's nice to be out there.'"

this weeks sewing project - water bottle belt

I had decided that I needed to start carrying water with me and Droopy (dog) on our hikes every Saturday and Sunday. Started looking at EMS ($40) belts, Sierra Trading Post ($30) and finally decided I had the basic skills to build my own. This is the first prototype. Bottle holder is made from the center section of a 2L soda bottle, covered with material. Adjustable for different size water bottles.

Works and rides pretty well (first hike today with it). Things to make it better...

1 - hold two bottles - one for me (fruit punch additive) and one for Droopy (regular water).

2 - wider belt on hip bones. This one is padded and that is great. I really never felt it on. But with two bottles of water, wider belt at the hips would better secure the belt for the added weight.

3 - storage pouch zipper on top. This zipper is below the top. I loaded it with a Cliff bar, my cell phone and my keys which fit fine, but loading and unloading felt safer when the belt was off me.

4 - clip for keys

5 - zipper across top of belt between bottles. opening zipper reveals 2 straps for holding a coat or windbreaker.

Talar Dome Lesion: "Talar Dome Lesion


What is a Talar Dome Lesion?
Talar DomeThe ankle joint is composed of the bottom of the tibia (shin) bone and the top of the talus (ankle) bone. The top of the talus is dome-shaped and is completely covered with cartilage—a tough, rubbery tissue that enables the ankle to move smoothly. A talar dome lesion is an injury to the cartilage and underlying bone of the talus within the ankle joint. It is also called an osteochondral defect (OCD) or osteochondral lesion of the talus (OLT). “Osteo” means bone and “chondral” refers to cartilage.

Talar dome lesions are usually caused by an injury, such as an ankle sprain. If the cartilage doesn’t heal properly following the injury, it softens and begins to break off. Sometimes a broken piece of the damaged cartilage and bone will “float” in the ankle."

Rushworth Racing

Rushworth Racing: "The FISA standard coastal boats are significantly wider than those used at the South Coast Championships and are designed to withstand rougher sea conditions.

Many clubs and rowers based in the South West UK and Channel Islands are adopting the FISA standard sliding seat boats designed by the French.

The boat categories include singles, doubles and fours/quads. The standardization of the boats has allowed a resurgence in international competition, in particular the World Rowing Coastal Challenge."
