Time-Saving Tips
You want to work out today. You really do. But what with groceries to pick up, personal calls to make that you didn't get to at work, a dog that needs to go to the vet, and a billion other responsibilities, your motivation is fizzling. We get it — in fact, we've been there many times. Here, an entire month's worth of smart advice on how to work out no matter what, from top fitness experts and real women who find time for fitness on an (almost) daily basis.
1. Do it in the morning!
Nothing major has likely cropped up yet — hey, it's only 7 a.m. Now is the time to get in that run or yoga DVD. In fact, research suggests that women who work out in the morning stick with their programs more successfully than those who don't. Not a morning person? Become one. (We know: It's painful at first, but it's worth it.) "The longer you wait in the day to work out, the more excuses you can find to put it off," says Carol Espel, national director of group fitness at Equinox Fitness Clubs. "Get it out of the way early so you don't have to think about it later on." Another reason to follow the sun? You'll start your day with a smile. A study done at the University of Glasgow in Scotland found that early-bird exercisers felt significantly happier than those who worked out later in the day. Here's a trick to help you avoid the temptation to stay under the covers: When you're lying in bed staring at the ceiling, visualize yourself at the end of your workout, reveling in your post-exercise, glad-that's-over feeling, says Nicki Anderson, president of Reality Fitness in Naperville, Illinois.
2. Rent a gym locker.
Seems simple, but think about how much energy you expend schlepping your stuff around. "Every holiday season I get a locker at the gym and leave my workout clothes there, with some makeup and other necessities," says Constance Mensink, 40, a fund-raiser from New York City. "This way I don't have to take anything with me, and I have no excuses not to hit the gym right after work."
3. Do the big four.
"If you don't have a lot of time, you'll get more strength gains by focusing primarily on larger muscles," explains Jonathan Ross of Aion Fitness in Maryland. These body-weight moves target every trouble zone fast: squats, push-ups, lunges, and plank pose. Do them back-to-back as a circuit three or four times, without taking a break.
4. Keep an eye on your workouts — literally.
At least one week in advance, write down all of your workouts and stick the list someplace you'll see it often — like on your fridge. "If your routine isn't right in your face, it's easy to 'forget' about it," says Mike Monroe, program director of PUSH.tv in New York City. In fact, research done at McMaster University in Ontario, Canada, has found that writing out workouts in advance makes you more likely to stick with them. Another motivation trick: Write your workouts for the week on three-by-five note cards, and as soon as you do them, toss 'em. "Your goal is to finish the week with no cards," explains Monroe.
5. Get a fitness "non"-buddy.
According to numerous studies, working out with a partner will help you get your butt to the gym. So seek out a friend of a friend or a colleague as your exercise partner — someone you can't blow off with a quick e-mail and a sorry excuse — says Monroe. "If it's a person with whom you are friendly but aren't all that close with socially, you're probably going to feel more of an obligation to get to your workout appointments on a regular basis."
6. Try the 20-minute rule...
...and make every minute count. If you can't get to the gym for as long as you'd like, interval training — bursts of intensity followed by a brief recovery period — gets results that are often just as good (if not better) than longer, slower-paced workouts. A study from Laval University in Quebec found that subjects who practiced interval training lost significantly more body fat than those who went slow and steady. "Intervals burn more calories after a workout because your body takes longer to return to its previous resting state," says Joe Dowdell, owner of Peak Performance in New York City. Try it: Warm up for a few minutes, sprint or walk on a steep incline for 30 seconds, then return to a slower pace for two or three minutes; repeat five or six times.
7. Meet to burn calories — not consume them.
It's easy to schedule a coffee date or a dinner and never get around to being active. Make an effort to change that habit — you'll be surprised how much fun it is. Have an exercise date instead of cocktails once a week, and you could stave off a 14-pound weight gain over a year. Try an afternoon of ice skating, cross-country skiing, or sledding (all about 590* calories). Not in the snowbelt? Try a brisk group stroll to catch up on gossip while burning calories (more than 400 an hour).
8. Rack up three and a half hours of extra exercise a week.
A study from the University of Pittsburgh found that all types of activity, of moderate intensity or greater, can translate into weight loss as long as you hit that magic number and eat a sensible diet. Over the course of seven days, that's not hard. "Little bursts of activity — taking the stairs instead of the escalator, walking a couple of extra blocks at lunch — can add up to significant calories burned each day," says Lisa Talamini, RD, chief nutritionist at Jenny Craig. Jot your micro-workouts into your daily planner when possible. It'll just take a sec, and it'll help you feel motivated to do more!
9. Use delays to your advantage.
Stuck at the airport waiting for your flight? Get moving. "Whenever I have some time before my flight, I power walk around the airport wearing my backpack," says Espel. "You can easily rack up a mile or two walking from one end to the other and back again." If you're at a place where you're not too embarrassed to start doing a few dips and curls, try a mini circuit-training workout, suggests Monroe. Go for a brisk-paced walk, and every few minutes stop and intersperse a set of strength moves, such as squats, lunges, calf raises, triceps dips, or wall push-ups.
10. Accept bribes.
"I'm not one of those women who can roll out of bed and say, 'Woo-hoo, it's time to exercise!'" admits Judith Wright, president of the Wright Institute in Chicago and author of The Soft Addiction Solution. "I need incentives, so I tell myself that if I walk 30 minutes to my local Starbucks, I'll reward myself with a tall Caffe Mocha with skim milk. If there's a new movie I'm dying to rent on DVD, I pop it in while I'm running on my treadmill. It gets me every time."
11. Take your secret love of dancing public.
"I use the winter months to take flamenco and hip-hop dance classes, which I never get to do in the summer because I usually exercise outside," says FITNESS senior fashion editor Celeste Brown-Wright. "Both are great workouts, and I'm always learning something new, so I don't get bored." In fact, an hour of shaking your groove thing burns about 400 calories, roughly the same as a brisk walk.
*All calorie counts based on a 140-pound woman.

injection drug user (IDU): a person who uses a drug (e.g., heroin, cocaine, speed) administered with a needle and syringe; a more general term than intravenous drug user (IVDU), which refers to a specific method of drug injection.
History Edit
IV drug use is a relatively recent phenomenon arising from the invention of re-usable syringes and the synthesis of chemically pure morphine and cocaine.
It was noted that administering drugs intravenously strengthened their effect and since such drugs as heroin and cocaine were already being used to treat a wide variety of ailments, many patients were given injections of 'hard drugs' for such ailments as alcoholism and depression.
Advantages Edit
There are a variety of reasons why drugs would be injected rather than taken through other methods.
- Increased effect — Injecting a drug intravenously means that more of the drug will reach the brain quicker. This also means that the drug will have a very strong and rapid onset (or rush).
- More efficient usage — Injection ensures that all of the drug will be absorbed.
- Bypasses the digestive system — Some people with sensitive stomachs find it very unpleasant to swallow drugs because of persistent cramps or nausea.
- Does not harm the lungs or mucous membranes — Unlike the many metres of surface veins, the mucous membranes occupy a more restricted surface area and can be permanently damaged by habitual insufflation (snorting).
Disadvantages Edit
In addition to general problems associated with IV drug use (see Intravenous therapy#Risks of intravenous therapy) there are some specific problems associated with the informal injection of drugs by non-professionals.
- Increased chance of blood-borne infection — This is generally a twofold problem. One is needle sharing which transmits blood-borne diseases between users and the other is secondary infection of injection sites caused by lack of hygiene and failure to rotate the injection site. In addition, the use of cotton to filter some drugs can lead to cotton fever.
- Increased chance of overdose — Because IV injection delivers a dose of drug straight into the bloodstream it bypasses the body's natural chemical defenses. Taking too much can result in unpleasant side effects, some of them very serious.
- Scarring of the peripheral veins — This arises from the use of blunt injecting equipment. This is particularly common with users who have been injecting while in jail and re-use disposable syringes sometimes hundreds of times. Although somewhat of an urban legend that IV drug use for an extended period will result in collapsed veins, this is untrue as long as the site of injection is constantly moved and old sites are given a chance to heal.
- Increased chance of addiction — It is possible that the heightened effect of administering drugs intravenously can make the chances of addiction more likely but this is not established.
- Needle phobia — Quite a number of people have an intense aversion to needles which, in extreme cases, is called trypanophobia and can make them feel nauseous or faint.
- Social stigma — In many societies there is a social stigma attached to IV drug use. Many people feel that it is somehow "unclean" to take drugs in such a manner, even though they may be perfectly comfortable taking them by another route. It ,however, should be noted, that person taking all precautions will not subject themselves to diseases any more than a non-IV drug user. This may be because of its common use in inner cities and with lower-class people.
Preparation Edit
The drug, usually in a powder or crystal form (though not always), is dissolved in water, normally in a spoon. Users draw the required amount of water into a syringe and squirt this over the drugs. The solution is then mixed and heated from below if necessary. Heating is used mainly with heroin,(thought not always, depending on the type of heroin)[1] but is also used when pharmaceutical drugs such Oxycontin or Dilaudid are injected to better separate the drug from the waxy filler; amphetamines lose potency when heated and cocaine HCl (powdered cocaine)dissolves quite easily. Heroin prepared for the European market usually requires the addition of a quantity of acidic mixer such as citric acid or ascorbic acid powder to dissolve the drug. Once the drugs are dissolved a small syringe, usually .5 or 1 cc, is used to draw the solution through a filter, usually cotton from a cigarette filter or cotton swab (cotton bud). The preferred injection site is the crook of the elbow (i.e., the Median Cephalic vein), on the user's non-writing hand. Other users opt to use the Basilic vein; While it may be easier to "hit", caution must be exercised as two nerves run parallel to the vein increasing the chance of nerve damage, as well as the chance of an arterial "nick".[2]

Chinese authorities have taken the rare step of banning tourists from a key protection area of the renowned Mount Wuyi on the World Heritage List to better preserve the environment.
Mount Wuyi, named a World Cultural and Natural Heritage site by UNESCO's World Heritage Committee in 1999, comprises a national nature reserve and a scenic area in Wuyishan City, eastern Fujian Province.
It attracts millions of tourists each year, and the nature reserve, covering one of the world's best preserved subtropical forests, receives tens of thousands of tourists, according to the Wuyishan National Nature Reserve Administration.
"Economically, the growing number of tourists has brought considerable profits for us, but it has put great pressure to us to protect the environment," Zou Xinqiu, a senior administration official, told Xinhua Tuesday.
The administration authorities stopped selling tickets to the reserve on June 1, ending 12 years of paid admission, Zou said.
"We'll continue to receive visitors for the purpose of scientific inspection or research, such as students and scholars," he said.
"Such visitors need to apply for scientific admission and pay a fee. We'll send professional guides to accompany them after they enter the nature reserve," he said.
The tourism ban would not apply to the Wuyishan scenic area, which lies in the outer part of Mount Wuyi, he said.
The official website of the World Heritage Committee describes Mount Wuyi as one of the largest, most representative examples of biodiversity conservation. It is a refuge for a large number of ancient, relict plant species, many of them endemic to China, and contains a large number of reptile, amphibian and insect species.
"Mount Wuyi is a landscape of great beauty that has been protected for more than 12 centuries," according to the website.
It contains a series of exceptional archaeological sites, including the Han City established in the 1st century B.C. and a number of temples and study centers associated with the birth of Neo-Confucianism in the 11th century A.D..

Banned Books Week in the News (via Shelf Awareness)
"'Dangerous' books are a big reason to keep reading," noted the Winston-Salem, N.C., Journal In the Asbury Park, N.J., Press, librarian Marian R. Bauman wrote, "Books are not evil and do not harm anyone."
A Fort Myers, Fla., News-Press editorial advised, "Read, do not ban, books.""SoCal rediscovers banned books" was the headline in the Los Angeles Times over the weekend, followed Monday by "Banned Books Week--does it matter?" and David Ulin's "Banned Books Week a thorny issue."
BiblioBuffet, the online literary salon, features several pieces about Banned Books Week, including one by SIBA's Nicki Leone, also managing editor and contributor of A Reading Life; a letter from Lauren Roberts, editor-in-chief; a column by author Lev Raphael; and a contribution from literary critic Henry L. Carrigan, Jr.
Inevitably, the Sarah Palin controversy has been invoked in many articles, including this from the Christian Science Monitor: "Given the recent public scuffle over Sarah Palin's conversations while mayor with a Wasilla librarian about the possibility of banning books, there probably couldn't be a better moment for the American Library Association's Banned Books Week."
"Oh, those evil books," cautioned the Albany, N.Y., Times Union. "Banning books is not a way to run a country," according to the Contra Costa Times. "Transparency and censorship issues are nonpartisan."The American Thinker offered an opposing viewpoint: "Apparently 99% of Books Have Been 'Banned'!"

Amir Khan has added some clarity to his future by this morning announcing a new head trainer as well as his next opponent.
The 25-year-old split with leading coach Freddie Roach earlier this month in the wake of his defeat to Danny Garcia in July.
And he has now turned to American Virgil Hunter to be his new corner man, with the first assignment a December date with the undefeated Carlos Molina.
Hunter`s main mission will be to help the Bolton fighter regain the IBF and WBA light welterweight titles he has lost over the last 12 months, in defeats to Lamont Petersen and Garcia.
"I'm really pleased that Virgil Hunter is to become my new trainer," Khan said.
"Everyone in boxing knows about his skills and the success he has enjoyed over the last few years. I'm looking forward to the start of my training camp and working on some new things with him.
"With Virgil in my corner, I know that I can get back to the very top of the light-welterweight division."
As part of his plan to do that he will have to beat the undefeated Molina, who has 17 wins and a draw from his 18 bouts so far.
"Molina is a good fighter, who has yet to taste defeat, so I know that he will be very dangerous," Khan added.
"He's a tricky fighter who possess a lot of natural speed. I always want to face hungry young fighters and in Molina I'm up against a guy who has ambitions of world title success."
Hunter was last year voted as the trainer of the year by America's boxing writers, and he believes his new partnership can be a fruitful one.
"Amir is an extremely talented fighter and I'm very happy to become his new trainer," he said.
"I've seen a lot of him and he has many attributes such as his speed and heart. There are certain small aspects of his game that I'm intending to work on in order to help him fulfil his enormous potential."
Khan will face Molina in the United States, with the date still to be decided

Hart's progress apparent with first home run
OAKLAND -- Corey Hart said all spring that regaining his swing would be a work in progress after sitting out all of 2013, but the Mariners' new designated hitter was happy to finally see a little of that progression pay off with his first home run in 18 months in Wednesday's 8-2 victory over the Angels.
Hart hit just .132 in Cactus League play with no homers and one double in 38 at-bats. But the big man laced a home run down the left-field line in the ninth inning off Angels right-hander Ernesto Frieri, turning around a 95-mph fastball for his first long ball since hitting two in Sept. 29, 2012, against the Astros to finish that season with 30.
"I'm still working toward it, but I'm starting to see the ball a little easier, a little sooner," Hart said before Thursday's series opener with the A's. "I'm getting a little more confident up there, and my swings are getting a little quicker. It's not all together, but hopefully it won't take a ton more at-bats. I'm definitely feeling more confident."
Putting up a 2-for-5 night in his second game to raise his early average to .333 at DH didn't hurt. After going 1-for-4 with an infield single on a slow dribbler in his Tuesday debut, Hart welcomed a solid single in the sixth and then his home run in the ninth.
"Definitely," Hart said. "For me, if I was 0-for-20 I'd be hiding in a hole somewhere. But there are so many good vibes right now. These guys are working hard, so it kind of carries over. It's hard not to get out there and try to do what these guys are doing. It definitely helps getting off to a good start."
The two-time National League All-Star is adjusting to more than just a year off following two microfracture knee surgeries. This is the first time he's served as a primary DH, previously having spent his career in the National League. When he was with the Brewers, Prince Fielder always got called on to DH in Interleague games, so Hart is learning how to keep himself active while not playing in the field.
"It's definitely an adjustment, but I don't mind it at all," he said. "I like looking at video and taking swings in the cage, so I keep myself occupied. I don't have a hard time staying in the game. I know it's tough for some guys. It's easy to get out of the game if you're just watching.
"But I find things to do. I stay loose. I watch my at-bats. I watch some of the other guy's at-bats, I'll hit in the cage. Just keep myself ready to go."
Manager Lloyd McClendon will use Hart primarily at DH for now, though he hopes to work him in some in right field eventually if he stays healthy. But mostly, the Mariners want to get Hart's big right-handed bat in their lefty-leaning lineup.
"Corey's at-bats got progressively better, and he capped it off with a good one," McClendon said of Hart's game Tuesday. "It was really good to see. We need him to be successful if we're going to be successful."

Google Chrome's team added a new releases channel for early adopters and developers:Canary builds. Unlike the beta channel and the dev channel, Canary builds can be installed without overwriting a regular Chrome build. That means you can install both a Canary build and a regular build that could be on the stable, beta or dev channel.
The Canary build is only available for Windows, it's "installed to a different path, gets updated separately, and runs side by side with an existing stable/beta/dev installation". Google says that the Canary build will usually be the same as the dev build. "Sometimes if necessary, we may push additional updates on Canary build so its version is higher than dev."
"The canary usually updates more frequently than the Dev channel (higher risk
of bustage), and we're working on making it update as often as we have
successful nightly builds. When something doesn't work on the canary, I can
just fall back to my Beta Google Chrome," says Mark Larson, from the Chrome team.
Now that Google Chrome synchronizes bookmarks, settings and it will also synchronize extensions, passwords, browser history, it doesn't even matter that the two builds use separate profiles. Unfortunately, you can't make Chrome Canary your default browser. Google's explanation that it's "a secondary installation of Google Chrome" doesn't make any sense.
Lee Mathews from DownloadSquad thinks that having four flavors of Chrome is "Vista-esque". Google probably noticed that there are many people who install random Chromium builds and decided to offer a channel that updates even faster than once a week, while allowing users to install a stable version of Chrome, just in case the "bleeding edge" builds have major bugs or they're unstable.
Google Chrome Canary builds - Windows-only, for now.

The Scout Programs of Adventure Scouts USA offer our Scouts the opportunity for organized activities, including first aid. This is a particularly important activity. Consequently, we encourage our Scouts to achieve true proficiency in first aid.
First Aid Standards
Our standards come from the American Red Cross, an organization that has been providing exemplary education in first aid for over a hundred years. The American Red Cross was created to serve our country in war and in peace, by providing nondiscriminatory medical care on the battle field , safety training, and providing disaster relief, among many other things. The American Red Cross is constantly updating their standards, and their guidelines for first aid, water safety, and disaster preparedness are cutting edge.
In the Great Outdoors
When our Scouts are camping or enjoying nature out on their adventures, it is particularly important for them to have knowledge of first aid. Counselors always supervise our Scouts, however the more members of the team who have first aid training, the more comfortable the entire group is. All our Scouts have a better time when they know many are capable of helping in an emergency, rather than one or two.
….And Everywhere Else
Knowledge of first aid can come in handy anywhere. Our Scouts may need their skills in CPR or the Heimlich maneuver anywhere from out with friends to eating dinner with family. Our Scout Programs contribute to the development of "whole people", by helping our Scouts be self-sufficient and helpful to those around them at all times.
First Aid
Our Scouts continuously demonstrate their proficiency in first aid. Their fellow Scouts have these skills themselves, and are the best judges of proficiency since they have been in the same position, demonstrating their skills for other Scouts.
After proficiency in first aid has been achieved, our Scouts must continue to demonstrate they still have true proficiency. Evaluation opportunities will come up from time to time in which they perform the skills for their fellow Scouts again.
We issue a card to our Scouts to show they have achieved true proficiency. If our Scouts fail to prove they still have true proficiency, one of the corners is cut off. They have two more chances to demonstrate they still retain the skills. If they cannot prove they still retain the skills after four attempts, they lose the card, but of course get the opportunity to earn it again. The reason for this because when our Scouts say they are truly proficient, then they must be. In the case of an emergency, it is less important that our Scouts have a card saying they are proficient in first aid, than actually being able to perform the skills. In other programs and organizations, it is possible for youth to earn an award and then forget everything they knew! Proficiency takes practice and when our Scouts proudly say they are truly proficient in first aid, they mean what they say.
We are proud of our Scouts and the skills they acquire through our Scout Programs. Our Scouts carry these skills throughout their lives, enabling them to be helpful, contributing members of society. Our Scouts are prepared for life, and they prove it again and again, building self-esteem and respect.

By the looks of this picture it looks pretty public to me! Way to go Jake Gyllenhaal and Reese Witherspoon. I love the two of them together.
Who wears short shorts??? Britney Spears of course!!
I don't know how old Britney Spears thinks she is but these shorts aren't right.
But apparently I'm not the only one...USmagazine is reporting that even her parenting skills are under fire again.
Spears' court-appointed monitor turned in a "very damaging report" October 22, a source close to her ongoing custody case with ex Kevin Federline tells Usmagazine.com.
The paperwork, filed under seal to LA Superior Court, claims that "[Spears, 25] paid her [monitor] no attention or respect at all, as if she were some employee whom she could blow off," the source says.
"Britney's often distracted and in her own world when she has the kids [Sean Preston, 2, and Jayden James, 1] and has a hard time focusing," the insider adds. "She is adamant that she doesn't have to listen to anybody — that it's her way or the highway."
Parenting sessions had previously been at Spears' residence, the source says, but the coach now wants meetings to take place at her office. "She doesn't want all the distractions, whether it's the paparazzi or whatever else is going on," the source says.

Salmon Fishing Scotland River Tay Spring Salmon Fishing prospects for week commencing 28th February 2011.
River Tay Spring Salmon Fishing prospects for week commencing 28th February 2011.
The river is dropping back and is settled for the coming week after unsettled weather especially on the lower Tay last week. The middle Tay has not been so badly effected as it is above the Isla.
The weather is to remain settled for the week giving us at last a week to look forward to with better conditions for spring fishing. The water temperature is 38 degrees Fahrenheit or 3 degrees Celsius meaning you have to fish large flies and lures slowly and at depth. The latest 5 day weather can be accessed here.
With very cold water recently it is likely that most springers will be moving slowly through the river. Also, with all the rain and snow melt there has been plenty of water to encourage them to move, but with water temperatures still low they might not run that far, i.e. race through to Loch Tay. Hopefully there might be a chance of a fresh fish anywhere in the lower and middle river.
The number of unspent fish being caught seems to be dropping now, suggesting that the high water of the last few weeks may have signaled the beginning of the end as far as spawning goes. However, it's worth remembering that any kelts, baggots or rawners encountered should be treated with the same amount of care as we would a fresh fish when returning them to the water.
The river is running at a good height and cold meaning the salmon will be running slowly and favour the lower and middle Tay beats conditions permitting. The encouraging grilse run in Summer 2010 might suggest that we will see more 2 sea-winter fish this year, so let's hope that some of these turn out to be the early-running bars of silver that we are all hoping for.
There is good availability throughout the river so why not have a go.
As to methods, once the river settles fishing by any method will have to be slow and deep with large lures to catch the elusive Tay Springer. Harling is also a favoured method at this time of year but be warned wrap up well or it will not be a pleasant experience.
Finally you are reminded that the Tay's policy for January - May 2011 is that all spring salmon should be released, i.e. the Tay has adopted a policy of 100% catch and release for spring salmon. Spring salmon are a scarce and precious resource. Please help preserve both them and the long term future of your sport by following the recommendations.
To help you follow our guidelines I have included these helpful pointers.
How to SAFELY Release a Salmon
"The best method of releasing a salmon is to leave it in the water
and touch nothing but the hook with fingers or pliers.
"Whatever the method, care combined with speed, will give the fish the best chance of survival."
Lee Wulff, Atlantic Salmon Journal Winter 1964/65
• Use barbless or pinched hooks
• Retrieve your fish quickly; release it immediately
• Keep the fish in the water
• Use rubber or knotless cotton net, if one must be used
• Cut the leader if necessary
• Remove the hook carefully
• Hold the fish gently in natural swimming position, facing upstream until it revives
• Don't pump the fish. That is, don't move the fish back and forth in the water.
How should hooks be removed?
Very Carefully
In quiet water, bring the wild salmon quickly within reach. Leaving the salmon in water and without squeezing it, remove the hook carefully with pliers or thumb and forefinger. If a net must be used, it should be rubber or knotless cotton. If necessary, cut the leader near the fly and spare the fish.
The Science of Live Release
"Peer-reviewed science supports live release as a proven and effective conservation tool."
Dr. Fred Whoriskey,
ASF Vice-President, Research & Environment
Studies in North America and Europe have shown live release works, and in some instances Atlantic salmon have been angled 2 and 3 times.
Science has shown that virtually all Atlantic salmon will survive when released, as long as the angler uses the proper techniques, refrains from angling in overly warm water, and does not overplay the Atlantic salmon.
Like athletes sprinting on a track, Atlantic salmon build up lactic acid in their muscle tissues when they are being played.
The Key is Oxygen – The fish need oxygen in order to recover and continue their journey.
To recover, Atlantic salmon need:
• careful handling by the angler to reduce stress
• to remain in the water where they can breathe and reduce the oxygen deficit in their tissues
• to be held in an upstream position for water to flow more easily across their gills
Photographing Your Spectacular Live Release Salmon.
Use a photo partner:
* Digital camera: make settings on the camera before you begin fishing or use a point and shoot film camera. Give it to your partner before the angling session.
* Whether a digital camera or a film camera, tell your partner to fill the frame, and take several images.
* If it is a film camera, be sure there is film in the camera. This may seem to be a simple matter, but mistakes do happen...
Let your Partner get into Position:
* Tell him/her what you are going to do. Alert your partner before you take the fish out of the water.
Support the Atlantic salmon:
* Carefully take the barbless hook out of the fish's mouth. With rod tucked under your arm, move one hand to the base of the tail. With your other hand, support the fish under the forward part of its body. Keep it in the water, with the fish pointed upstream to help its recovery.
* If a third person is present, give him or her the rod to hold, so you can concentrate on the wild salmon.
Take the Picture Quickly:
* With your photo partner warned, raise the wild Atlantic salmon partially out of the water for less than five seconds - or consider leaving it semi-submerged for the photo instead!
Return the Fish to Continue its Spawning Run:
* Support the salmon underwater in a natural position facing the current, handling it as little as possible. Give it time to recover. The goal is for the wild salmon to swim away on its own.
* Digital cameras offer the opportunity to adjust the film speed to suit conditions. In low light, such as evening, morning, heavy cloud, or deep shadow, consider setting the speed to 400, to take care of both movement and the low light. Experiment beforehand on speeds above 400, as many digital images become heavily pixilated at greater sensitivity.
* Remember to adjust the white balance for deep shadow, to warm the image.
* Today's print films even at 400 speeds are superb. Use 400-speed film at dawn, dusk or in shadow.
* Don't forget to smile! Your photo is a valuable memory.

I am watching the iPPV via my Roku box, which is a pretty awesome new technology gimmick that lets you stream "channels" on your TV. It you subscribe to any streaming services such as Hulu or Netflix, this is a great device to have them all in one place and there's lots of other content to explore. For more on this wonderful device, click here. So, this will be a new experience for me as I've never watched an iPPV this way before.
In a pre-iPPV bout that aired via UStream, Jigsaw pinned El Generico with a double stomp off the ropes. I think Generico's ROH deal would prevent him from working the iPPV.
Ronnie Lang's Atlas Security are in the house, as you can see Lang in the first live shot from the Arena. The lights went black in the venue and the fans began clapping.
Gavin Loudspeaker, the rock and roll ring announcer, came to the ring and welcomed fans and reminded everyone that it's family friendly entertainment and pro wrestling at its best. He specifically welcomed all the "first time fans." He said that the clock has struck high noon.
An introduction video for CHIKARA's High Noon Internet PPV began playing. They listed the cast in "alphabetical order"
The Young Bucks vs. Fire Ant & Soldier Ant.
The Young Bucks came out with, I kid you not, Marty Jannetty.
TThe stream died and returned while they were in the ring wrestling. Fire Ant scored a two count on Matt Jackson. Matt slipped out of an attempted move but was kicked in the head. The Ants went for a double team move but Nick Jackson superkicked Fire Ant. Matt Jackson nailed a series of powerbombs on Fire. Nick nailed a knee to the face. The Jacksons nailed a spike tombstone piledriver but Soldier made the save.
The Bucks nailed a double superkick on Soldier. Matt picked up both Ants on his back and the Bucks went for a Double Bang for Your Buck. The Ants escaped and rolled up Matt Jackson for the pin.
Your winners, The Colony!/p>
What I saw looked good but there were stream issues that caused the Bucks' entrance to repeat several times, at least on the Roku feed.
They went into a CHIKARA app commercial.
Sara Del Rey vs. Jacob Hammermeier
Jacob, who is German and is a heel mouthpiece for one of the groups here, BDK, introduced himself. He then went to the back and re-entered the building. That was pretty funny. A fan threw a streamed for Del Rey, which incensed Jacob and he threw it back. The crowd chanted, "Sara's gonna kill you." They then chanted Happy Birthday at Del Rey.
Del Rey grabbed a side chinlock and then worked him into a hammerlock. The announcers explained that Del Rey was part of the group and broke off. She locked him in a cravate and the crowd chanted for a tap. Jacob escaped and shoved her but he was soon eating a series of kicks. He ran to the ropes to break the momentum. While he was in between the ropes, Del Rey drilled him with ten kicks to the chest. The crowd chanted, "We love wrestling."
Jacob gained the upper hand, choking Del Rey. He played to the camera and turned into a chop. Del Rey worked him over in the corner and drilled him with a headbutt. She grabbed him by the hair and snapped Jacob across the ring. Del Rey went for a Fireman's Carry but Jacob raked her face. He used his tie to choke her down. He had it taken away but pulled a second tie out of his tights and choked her in the corner.
Jacob went for a chop but Sara grabbed her hand and started bending fingers to break them. She whipped him into the corner and cannonballed him. Del Rey drilled him with several boots and nailed a kick to the head. Del Rey nailed a German suplex and an axe kick to the back of the head for a two count.
Jacob tried to steal one, grabbing a backslide for a two count. Del Rey fought back and locked him in the Royal Butterfly, then suplexed him down on his head, scoring the pin.
Your winner, Sara Del Rey!
The crowd chanted Sara's name after the bout. Entertaining in the way it was devised to be and a nice introduction for Rey to new viewers to the product.
A promo ran featuring football footage. A graphic reading "Mr. Football" is coming. Must be a new character.
The Osyrian Portal were introduced. The announcers noted the injuries that they have suffered in recent months. Amasis, who was in a bad car accident this past April, said that ovations like they received is why CHIKARA fans are the best in the world. He said that's why he came to announce that he won't be returning to the ring. He said that all it would take is the one moment where he'd end up in a wheelchair and while he loves wrestling, he can't have that and he can't let the fans see him in what way. He said that he wanted to reflect on what they accomplished and ran down some of their highlights. He said they were the best tag team in the world.
He said there are a lot of emotions in the Arena, so he asked that they do what they do best. He said that when it comes down to it, the Osyrian Portal are always ready. They began clapping and dancing in the ring. As they danced, Ophidian spit something in Amasis' eyes. He jumped on Amasis, leading to all the CHIKARA officials hitting the ring to back him off. Ophydian jumped on Amasis and locked him in a Camel Clutch. All the officials pulled him off and backed him into a corner, forcing him out of the ring. Amasis walked around ringside, stalking. He ran back in and attacked his former partner, unmasking him. In the world of CHIKARA, that's a big heel move.
Ophydian began walking to the back. He took the mic and said, "Amasis, Problem solved." He left with the mask.
Good angle, although I am guessing that to anyone who was watching it for the first time, they were wondering why it was a big deal. They may have wanted to run a video feature on the team to set the stage, although you don't want to waste too much time with such stuff.
Tursas vs. Green Ant
TTursas is a giant masked Viking. Ant has been pursuing him for months and at one point, did a Lex Express inspired tour while building to slamming Tursas that was actually endorsed by Lex Luger.
Green dropkicked Tursas at the bell and began working to try and take him down. Tursas fought him off easily and bodyslammed Green Ant. Ant ducked several clotheslines and almost ran into heel referee Derek Sabato. Tursas charged Ant but took out the Sabato, laying him out./p>
Another referee hit the ring just as Green Ant covered Tursas, getting a two count. The other members of the Colony came out and carried out Sabato. The crowd sang, "Hey Hey Goodbye." Tursas charged Green Ant, who was on the top but was caught. Green Ant tried to lock on some sort of submission but Tursas walked around the ring and fell backwards, squashing the bug.
Tursas scored several two counts. Tursas missed a charge in the corner. Ant nailed a dropkick. He charged Tursas but was kicked off. Tursas backdropped Ant. Tursas stepped on Ant's neck. He picked up Ant for a slam, Tursas continued working over Ant, nailing a dropkick, which was impressive for a guy his size. The crowd began chanting "USA."
Tursas slammed Ant down and covered him for a two count. Tursas began trash talking Ant and slammed him. He called for the top rope and went up for a moonsault. Ant slipped from behind and nailed a Fall Away Slam off the ropes. That was pretty impressive looking visually.
Ant used a drop toehold into the ropes on Tursas and drilled him with a leg to the head. Tursas was shoved to the floor. Ant went for a dive off the top but was caught. Tursas tried to toss him backwards back into the ring but Ant landed on his feet. He drilled Tursas with a kick and a high knee off the apron, stunning the giant. Ant slammed him on the floor. Ant went to the top rope and nailed a big splash to the floor, which was a play off a previous spot in their feud.
Back in the ring, Tursas was caught with several shots to their mid-section. Ant staggered him with several forearms. Ant rebounds off the ropes but is caught with a high cross bodyblock. Tursas went for the High Cross and nailed it for a two count. Ant got up at the last second. The crowd chanted for Ant. Tursas went to the top but Ant met him and battled him on the top. He tried to go for a superplex but Tursas fought him off. Ant nailed him with his "surgically repaired arm" (Luger reference) and superplexed Tursas into the ring.
Green Ant covered Tursas but only received a two count. Ant went for a Texas Cloverleaf and finally locked it in. Tursas was kicked several times. Ant locked in a new submission - the story was that Ant learned a new submission hold from submission master Mike Quackenbush during the build to this show - and Tursas finally tapped out.
Your winner, Green Ant!
An entertaining good vs. evil story.

The tracks that constitute the first soundtrack for HBO's "Girls," out now on Fueled by Ramen/Atlantic, reflect the modern bohemian environs that surround the show's quartet of young New Yorkers. Songs are culled from the first season and the second, which begins tonight (Jan. 13), and as expected, the second season starts with plenty of indie rock, hip-hop, club music and Michael Penn's gentle acoustic score. More mainstream music, though, is on the way. "Sometimes I struggle with what fans want to hear," says Aperture Music's Manish Raval, who supervises the show's music with his partner Tom Wolfe. "In season two you'll find we use a lot of very mainstream music in very big spots, the antithesis of the indie-rock placements. I felt a responsibility to find cool music. That's a reason people reacted to the show, but what's right for the show is what's right for the moment, and you'll see a lot of different stylistic choices." The selection process, Raval says, is unlike other shows he works on, such as NBC's "Community" and Fox's "New Girl." Three-quarters of the selections come from mixtapes, YouTube clips and MP3s circulated among the team making the music decisions: Raval, Wolfe, Aperture music library chief Jonathan Leahy, executive producers Judd Apatow and Jenni Konner, and star/creator Lena Dunham. Among prominent placements early in season two are Grouplove's song recorded for the show, "Everyone's Gonna Get High"; Icona Pop's dance track "I Love It"; the Count Five's 1965 nugget "Psychotic Reaction"; and Duncan Sheik's 1996 single "Barely Breathing." "We're into finding crazy things, stuff that's really out there," Raval says. "You can't slack off and you can't just listen to what's pitched to us. We have to find great stuff [Dunham] hasn't heard -- I feel like there's a responsibility there -- and if at the end of the process we need a song, we do it the traditional way." Raval sometimes licenses a dozen tracks per episode-the show has never used any production library tracks-made possible by a budget three times larger than any of Raval's network programs. "I don't think [HBO] anticipated there would be such a reaction to the music," he says. "If we post a link to a song on YouTube, I would see 15 pages of comments related to the song's use on 'Girls.' It has captivated [an audience] in a completely different way [than other shows]." A revelation about "Girls" occurred for Raval while working on the first season's third episode, specifically a loft party scene initially filled with "wall-to-wall art party music, very down and very indie and probably very realistic to the situation." That's when a music supervisor has to work some magic, massaging the reality of an onscreen situation to enhance the storytelling. "We did a 180 with the music-brought in Pitbull, Ghostface Killah and Black Lips." When it came time to assemble an album, Raval, Wolfe and soundtrack producer Kevin Weaver focused on end-credits songs and the tracks specially recorded for the show, most of them from the upcoming season. Of the 14 tracks on the standard edition of Girls-Volume 1: Music From the HBO Original Series, four were recorded specifically for the show. A digital-only deluxe edition has five exclusives, among them Tegan & Sara's cover of the Rolling Stones' "Fool to Cry" and fun.'s "Sight of the Sun." Santigold's "Girls" is the first single, promoted at alternative rock radio and used in HBO's online and on-air promotional spots. HBO has cut a montage of show footage featuring the track for use as a viral marketing tool, and Atlantic shot a music video for release around the album's street date. Atlantic's Weaver, who has a history with HBO (he won a best compilation soundtrack for visual media Grammy for "Boardwalk Empire"), says the cable network "understands how to utilize co-op marketing opportunities to help connect the audience to the soundtrack release." The soundtracks, he wrote in an email, involve "minimal cost and zero risk." [Industry sources suggest the album might sell between 6,000 to 10,000 in its first week.] "We saw [this] as being a great fit for the Fueled by Ramen brand, which, as a label, has always prided itself on being culturally impactful and forward-thinking," Weaver wrote. "And with the inclusion of a new track from fun., it made perfect sense to have this album become an FBR release." FACEBOOK TWITTER EMAIL ME

Evangelical Society of the Canton of Bern
Evangelical Society of the Canton of Bern (Evangelische Gesellschaft des Kantons Bern), organized in 1831, in the circles of Heimberger Brethren (Oberland Brethren) and the pietists of the city of Bern, Switzerland. Its object is to revive spiritual life in the Reformed Church. The official organ of the Association is Brosamen, Evangelisches Volksblatt. It maintains a school of evangelism in Bern, an office, and a bookstore.
The society has connections with the Mennonite congregations of the canton of Bern (Alt-Taufgesinnte, Alttäufer). A number of Mennonites are members of the main conference of the society. It often serves the Mennonite churches with evangelists (in evangelization weeks, holidays, etc.). On the other hand, Mennonites also serve at the conferences of the society. In Emmenholz in the canton of Solothurn, a part of the Kleintal congregation, Mennonite preachers and evangelists alternate in conducting the services. In Chaux d'Abe connections have been maintained since 1868, and in Kleintal since 1881.

You know as writers we need our resources. As a romantic suspense writer, I've found myself with lots of questions about police procedures. (Unlike Kathy, I never worked in law enforcement.) So I had questions like: "Is this legal?" (For my book, and not me personally.) "Would my hero cop not just shoot the jerk now?" Important stuff that makes romantic suspense novels read true. And I've found it really helps to have a . . . well, a cop in my pocket. I'm not sure Duke likes being in my pocket, but so far he's never refused to help. (I found he can't stand it when a woman cries.)
I knew Duke was the man for the job the first time I spoke with him on the phone. I mean, I didn't know this man, and he was already insulting me and it was funny stuff.
Anyway, I've roped Duke into being our guest blogger today. He's agreed to answer questions about police work. Now, I've told him that the only person he can insult here is me, which basically makes me an open target, but he's promised to behave and not to report any of our comments or questions to the authorities.
So go ahead, pick his brain. (Duke, doesn't that sound painful?)
My Life with Christie Craig
Or How I became an official police advisor
My name is Lt. D.R. "Duke" Atkins and I work (well, I may have used to work after this gets out) for the Houston Police Department. In police work, I've had the opportunity to see human interaction (that's interACTION) at both its finest and its most depraved. I have seen great acts of compassion and great acts of atrocity, both enacted with equal amounts of zeal.
One of the major things that you think I would have learned is how the decisions you make greatly influence your life. The decision to become a police officer was the best thing I ever did short of marrying my wife, having our son, and knowing God. Then, there have been other decisions. Such as the time I wanted to see what it was like to cut human hair with scissors, you know those little rounded-end ones from elementary school? One big snip from each eyebrow! Did I mention that school pictures were taken 2 days later? That image still looks down on me in my own home today.
One of those other big decisions that I look back on with a bit of trepidation is the day I got a call from a lady named Christie Craig. She was working on story about my Cowboy Action Shooting club, the Texas Historical Shootist Society (THSS) for a state-wide law-enforcement magazine. She wanted to show that police officers had lives outside of law enforcement, kind of like normal folks. (Normal? That's where she went wrong.)
This little interview/photo session led to a story filled with numerous quotes from then Sergeant "Duke" Atkins. Most of this was because I kept talking when I should have kept me mouth shut. Apparently, I must have said something wrong, because Christie began to spell my name as "Adkins". This little error thus dashed my chances of being the guy who would be the so-called face of the department who would get to travel around the world while representing the department at events and important stuff. I think this was all because they couldn't find a sergeant named Adkins in the system. Another opportunity lost.
After a few months, I get another call from Christie. She explained that in addition to writing articles and misspelling people's names, she also wrote humorous romantic fiction. And she wanted me to talk to her group of writers. I was impressed that anyone wanted my opinion about anything. But romance? She told me that I, along with a few other officers, could bring guns and talk about them. I was as good as there.
Interesting bunch of folks at that meeting—they actually asked some questions about guns. The one question that sticks in my mind was directed to the female detective who worked at another agency, "What did the detective hate to see most when reading a book?" I knew that answer and replied first, "Big words". Thought I was going to have to shoot my way out past the detective, who didn't think it was as funny as the rest of the room did as they lay on the floor laughing. Hmm, I don't get invited over to that agency much anymore.
Now, I'm convinced that every officer in law enforcement failed the psychology test. I think it's practically a requirement. I mean, you bring in a normal guy, nice guy, and send him out to work in the cesspool of life for 20 years or so and then see what you have caused. He is on his fourth or fifth wife, with three to nine children, not all from the various wives, paying so much in monthly "fines" for making bad life decisions that they nearly have to live in the station locker room. As one officer put it years ago, "every four or five years, I'm just going to walk up to some girl and buy her a house, it's what I'm doing now and it would save me the marrying and divorce part". But, heck, if they only take the ones who fail the tests, at the end of those 20 years the department can honestly say, "Hey, that's not our fault; he was already screwed up when he came in".
This may have been somewhat the angle that Christie took when she sought me out in the first place. I mean, once my used-to-be-friends find out that I am listed as a "police advisor" in a humorous romantic novel, my goose is cooked. On the plus side, most of them don't read much anyway; I might slide on this thing yet.
My real problems began when Christie began to call on a semi-regular basis and ask, "You have a minute, I've written myself into a corner." My first inclination was to advise her to go write at a desk or a table and stay away from the darn corners. But feeling sorry for her, I tried to listen. I said, I tried! Where in the world does she dream up this material? I remember in the 60's a lot of folks experimented with some stuff and they could imagine some pretty similar things as I recall.
She would want to know general procedures for going to a homicide scene, and then what would happen if someone was shot with this kind of gun. That one was easy. "They die." Then, "Seriously, what if you got hit here?" My answer, "I'd probably shoot the idiot who shot me first, and then I'd die." But of all Christie's questions, my all time favorite was, "What kind of gun has a barrel about the same size as a super absorbent tampon?" No lie, she actually asked me that!!
Okay, I'll admit, we've spent some enjoyable hours in discussions. (Some of which I taped for my own protection.) Not that she always explains why she needed such information. However, I have been assured that I will get autographed copies of all her books for my efforts as an official police advisor. Maybe then I can finally get the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth.
But if any of you have any questions, barring anything about tampons, I look forward to talking to you.
D. R. "Duke" Atkins

In honor of this week's, "It's Playtime (8) Natural Play," I'm going to share what we did today, which happened to be using natural items in the classroom.
In science center, we used these bamboo place mats to create individual spaces. I bought them at the dollar store a hundred years ago, but any natural place mat will do.
|On each place mat, I put several different types of natural items from our science center, along with magnifying glasses.
|All of the rocks, leaves, and twigs were picked by the children during a nature walk. Right outside our playground is an area of gravel...the perfect hunting ground for interesting and brightly colored rocks like this turquoise one above.
|Magnifying glasses provide a fresh way to see the world. You don't need anything specific to examine...I remember being fascinated by my own magnified hands as a child.
|Of course, not everyone wanted to use the mats for looking at natural items. Majd found a new way to use the place mat...as a road for his toy car! :)
Over at the other table, we had this going on:
|It's a little blurry, but it's play dough and beans.
|Giovanni makes "cookies," and then sorts them. It may look like a couple of piles of stuff, but he was very meticulous about sorting and deciding where each bean or play dough cookie would go.
|Christopher found that scooping and pouring beans with his hands was just as fun.
Happy playing!

Snoop Dogg's Reggae Album Sounds 'Amazing' Says Diplo
Snoop Dogg's transformation into reggae artist Snoop Lion might have raised a few eyebrows especially after hearing "La La La," but apparently he is for real. Producer Diplo, who is overseeing the music on Snoop Lion's reggae album 'Reincarnation,' is amazed at the veteran rhyme-slinger's metamorphosis.
"If you haven't seen Snoop recently, he's gone totally Rasta," he tells MTV News. "He has Bob Marley and Haile Selassie pins — he's mad Rasta."
As we previously reported, Snoop is premiering his new documentary 'Reincarnated,' which chronicles his trip to Jamaica and the recording process of his reggae album of the same name, at the Toronto International Film Festival. "I'm tired of rapping," he said in the movie's trailer. "F— Snoop Dogg … all that s— be out of here… Rastafari called me."
Diplo says the album will shock a lot of people but it will not disappoint. "It's gonna surprise people, but it's an amazing record," he attests. "We have some almost rap stuff on the record, but there's also a lot of singing, because he sings really well and there's a lot of backing vocals."
"He was really studying Bob Marley," Diplo continues. "We [also] have some West Coast attitude with the production, and I'm really excited about it. It sounds amazing."
In addition, to the album, there's a photography book and a non-profit initiative called Mind Garden which will provide food and assistance to needy children in Kingston, Jamaica.
Before Snoop embarked on his Rasta journey, he was granted approval from Bob Marley's son Rohan and then traveled to Jamaica where he immersed himself in the Niyabinghi branch of the Rastafari movement. So there you have it — Snoop is a lion, hear him roar!

Ang dami ko kasi VHS tapes recorded on the WWE Attitude Era, during the time of Stone Cold Steve Austin, The Rock, Kane, Undertaker, Triple H, Mankind, I wanna share mga favorite ko nakakatawang mga interviews and scenes of my favorite Wrestler, Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson. mostly karamihan sa mga episodes can be seen on Youtube.
Here are some of my favorites:
Remember the Vince McMahon kiss my ass club? when Rock interrupted Vince when he was about to make Trish Stratus kiss his ass, sabi ni Rock "Whoooooo, you leave your pants down," naka brief lang si McMahon, tapos yun pinalakad niya when Vince's pants down.
and the night McMahon kiss the Rock's ass, it was the best episode of the WWE, from J.R to Trish to Rikishi, the crowd really wanted to see Trish's behind.
The Rock's interviews, mostly kay Kevin Kelley were the funniest, one is "let the Rock answer your question with a question of his own, do you have two sets of equally working genitals," before Kelly answered "Do you have both male or female genetalia," "Rock, that's a ridiculous question," answered Kelley, Rock would then referred to him as hermapodite, Kevin Kelley keeps reasoning, "I had one perfectly set of equally working genitals," then Rock says "keep your mouth shut Hermie,"
another was tinanong si Kevin Kelley ni Rock "Do you have any,,,pie" kelley answered " I had a delicious apple pie this morning and,,," at sabi ni Rock "Im talking about Poontang Pie" and yun last na sinabi niya "Dont lie to the Rock,"

Penn Charter rowers were particularly well represented last Saturday at an annual summer event devoted exclusively to scholastic competitors, the Philadelphia Youth Regatta.
Rising senior and Chestnut Hill resident Maria Georgiou was part of two gold medal crews operating out of the Fairmount Rowing Association, where fellow Quakers Tara Malone (another senior), Isa Djerassi and Celina McCall (who will both be juniors) were also based. PC senior Kevin Kelly was farther up Boathouse Row at Penn A.C., racing a Junior 18 single.
Another member of the Fairmount roster was Rebecca Genyk, who will enter Germantown Friends School as a freshman in September, and whose brother, Ethan (a junior), has raced for GFS during the last two high school seasons. She, along with Charter's McCall and Djerassi, was still young enough to compete in the Junior 16 category at this year's PYR.
Djerassi started out in a J-16 double which finished third in its heat race, missing a trip to the finals by one place. In what was by far the faster of two heats in the Girls J-18 quad, Georgiou and her boatmates won by almost 15 seconds. Malone started her day about 15 minutes later as part of a J-18 four, but a fifth-place showing was not high enough for a trip to the finals that afternoon.
Andrew Bair, a rising senior at GFS who successfully raced a junior single this spring, had been entered in a double for the Youth Regatta, but his partner suffered an injury prior to the race. Jen Sager, a 2012 Springside Chestnut Hill Academy graduate who was the scholastic national champion in the senior single, has been rowing for Vesper this summer, but she missed the age cut-off for the Youth Regatta by a little over one month and could not compete.
In the J-18 boys single last weekend, there were enough entries to necessitate three rounds of racing for the Quakers' Kelly and his peers. The PC senior came in second in the last of six heats to earn a spot in the semifinal round. His second race was scheduled just 80 minutes after his first, and it was fortunate that the weather was much cooler than it had been earlier in the week.
Kelly's semi-final race was won by rising Germantown Academy senior Eric Blood, who was followed by a rower from Teaneck, N.J. Alongside Peter's Island, Kelly was in a duel for third place, but his rival from Vesper Boat Club sprinted strongly the rest of the way, actually closing up the gap on the leaders while nabbing the last ticket to the finals. GA's Blood went on to win the championship by three seconds over a rower from Nereid Boat Club in Rutherford, N.J.
Kelly's semifinal was the last race before the final round began, and just a few minutes later Georgiou was on the course in the finals of the J-18 quad. The Quakers senior and her three colleagues (from Episcopal Academy, Baldwin and Upper Dublin High School) put this one away early, and won by a full 10 seconds over runner-up River Rowing of Nyack, N.Y.
After another brief interval, McCall and Genyk came down the course in Fairmount's J-16 eight, which went straight to a final race due to a dearth of entries. They placed third, behind a victorious Virginia crew and in between two boats from New York.
There also had been no preliminary heats in the regular girls eight category, where Georgiou was back in action for Fairmount. The victory here was even more impressive than in the quad, with Fairmount crossing the line 18 seconds ahead of the second-place Syracuse Chargers.
A mere 20 minutes later, Georgiou and her boatmates (again from a number of different schools) took part in a novelty event, a quarter-mile long (as opposed to the 2000-meter standard for the regatta) "dash" race in the eight. Here they came in second, helping Fairmount win the team points trophy by a wide margin.
