Are you in the market for new running shorts? With so many options on the market, sometimes it's hard to pick the running short style that will be a great fit for your workout, body type, etc. Do you like short loose-fitting shorts or long tight fitting shorts? Do you like black shorts or bright shorts with patterns?
Use this guide as a resource to find out which styles/types may be best for you.
Your Guide To Women's Running Shorts
When choosing a short, here are the five things you want to consider:
What type of short do you want?: The most popular styles are compression (tight fitting shorts), split shorts (very short performance styles that offers a great range of motion), and v-notch shorts (the most popular style).
How long do you like your shorts?: Running short inseams are typically between 3 inches and 7 inches (although there are shorter and longer ones available). If you don't want to show a lot of skin or want to prevent your legs from possibly rubbing together, consider a longer compression short. If you're looking for short and "flowy", try 3" v-notch or split shorts.
How many (if any) pockets do you need? Will you be carrying your phone, keys, and/or ID? If so, you'll definitely need to think about storage. A lot of short options will have pockets built in the waist band or side panels. Some shorts even have zipper pockets to keep your items secure.
What are your shorts made of?: The best running shorts are made with synthetic materials that wick away moisture and keep you dry. Although the price tag on cotton shorts may seem more appealing, don't forget that cotton absorbs moisture and can lead to uncomfortable rubbing and chafing.
Do you want a liner? (And should you wear underwear?): A lot of running shorts will have a brief or compression liner built in. They're designed to help prevent infection and keep you dry. If you're wondering if you should wear underwear with them, the answer is typically no. Remember, you want to keep your bottoms dry so there's no need to add extra layers when there's a built-in brief.
Ready to apply what you learned?
Stop by one of our shops and try on some of our popular short styles. If none of the shorts below stand out to you, you can try many other options in-store.

With Brooks Drilayer Horsepower materials, it gives you supportive feel and helps wick away sweat from your body.
Nike Rival Flex Short $45: Made with Nike's famous Dri-Fit technology, these shorts have a breathable flex material with a recycled polyester brief for long-lasting comfort.

Cable pulling or hauling is not an easy task, in fact on the contrary at times it can turn into a complicated task. In order to make it an easier task it is essential to have the right tools and equipment by your side. The most commonly used types of winch are electric and hydraulic.
Courtesy: ruralking
Following are some advantages of using hydraulic cable winches Australia:
1. Controlled Speed
The main benefit of using a winch that is powered by the hydraulic system is that they have relatively lower speed which helps in controlling it in case of any sudden jerks. Hydraulic machines also come with double capstan which helps in controlling the machine and monitoring the speed of the winch when being used.
2. Self-Powered
Another main benefit of using a hydraulic winch machine is that they are self-powered. It makes the task of cable pulling much easier as the user does not need to use manual force to start it. So less physical power is required for pulling cables.
3. Reliable And Safe To Use
Hydraulic cable winches are not only more reliable but are also safer to use when compared to other types of winches. They have all the essential safety features and are installed by the company. So when working with a hydraulic winch there is less chance of operator or anyone in the working area to get injured.
If you are looking for a cable winch that is easier to use and is also reliable then go with a hydraulic winch.

The Boucher Trail had lived up to its expectations. It was steep, precarious, and exhilarating. But, even though now at Yuma Point, we weren't quite done with it. There was another leg of the trail to be negotiated on the next day—a long traverse to Dripping Springs Trail and then up to the rim on the Hermit. The grand loop would then be complete.
Yet, the worst was over and we knew it. Spirits were high as we approached Yuma Point. The sky was blue, the air brisk and fresh. The entire canyon was before us from this high perspective of view and mood. We looked out and down, our pointed fingers retracing the day's hike from the now-faraway White's Butte. Yuma Point was lofty and spectacular, the worthy culmination to this four-day journey.
After endless discussions of water needs, hiking itineraries, supplies, and weather contingencies, the only decision left before us was one more placement of the tent. The best spot with the best view was right in the path of some of the bluff's drainage. But the skies were finally clear and it looked like we'd actually see the stars on our last night. The lure of waking up right on the edge of paradise was too strong. We took our chances. I built a small dam of scattered rocks to divert any unlikely runoff.
"Ah, the weather has finally broken," I said, looking up at an empty sky. "What a glorious end to the trip!"
I looked down then back up again five minutes later. A storm cloud had somehow formed beyond the rim. And it was coming straight at us. Startled, I opened my mouth. "Oh, no!"
"Forget this," Tom said as he crawled into the tent. "I'll ride out the storm in here. I've had enough of this."
Karl and I decided that the rain would be brief and invigorating and remained in place on the bluff. The storm was neither brief, nor was it invigorating. The downpour was intense; manifesting a river out of nowhere that went right under the tent. Too late for staying dry, we stood there in the cold rain, shoulders hunched and miserable. The small dam I'd created to divert potential flood waters was useless.
"Your dam is made of Swiss cheese," Karl muttered. "We'll have to move the tent." He looked at me, rain dripping from his nose. He sniffed in resignation.
There would be no stars on our last night in the canyon. But, there was no more rain, either. A spectacular sunrise greeted our last day as we broke camp and made our way out and back on the Boucher Trail for yet one more traverse among the red rocks of the Supai Group. These kinds of traverses are long and tedious, yet always dangerous. The uneven erosion of this geological group carves natural paths in the cliffs but these routes are always exposed and paved with loose rocks and gravel. This part of the Boucher Trail undulated up and down as we worked our way around the side canyon to our linkup with the Dripping Springs Trail and then, finally, the Hermit Trail.
"Dripping Springs Trail is washed out ahead. Hikers coming from the opposite direction appeared out of nowhere and greeted us with a warning. "Follow the pink flags and be careful!"
That's the way it always is in this place. You march along, alone in peaceful thought, keeping your eye on the trail straight ahead. Then something happens out of nowhere. You lose the trail, you fall and sprain something, a storm nails you, you suddenly get heat exhaustion. A rattlesnake appears from nowhere. You run low on water. There's always something lurking right around the corner.
Dripping Springs Trail, our final link to our final climb, was washed out. We were still on the edge, we still had several miles to go. The only way out was to follow the pink flags that the rangers apparently had placed to guide us around the hazardous obstacle. We couldn't see the new slide nor the little flags. We'd simply have to keep going with faith enough in ourselves to get past one more thing on the way to the rim.
To be continued…

A Fast Pattern Matching Algorithm with Two Sliding Windows (TSW)
Amjad Hudaib, Rola Al-Khalid, Dima Suleiman, Mariam Itriq and Aseel Al-Anani
DOI : 10.3844/jcssp.2008.393.401
Journal of Computer Science
Volume 4, Issue 5
Pages 393-401
In this research, we propose a fast pattern matching algorithm: The Two Sliding Windows (TSW) algorithm. The algorithm makes use of two sliding windows, each window has a size that is equal to the pattern length. Both windows slide in parallel over the text until the first occurrence of the pattern is found or until both windows reach the middle of the text. The experimental results show that TSW algorithm is superior to other algorithms especially when the pattern occurs at the end of the text.

From teen mom to call center director: Natalie Williams shares her Verizon journey
"It was really my first real job," says Natalie Williams, of her start as a customer service rep at a call center in Columbia, SC in 1999. "I was 19 years old and already a single parent, and it was really important for me to have stability." When the legacy phone company she worked for merged with Verizon a few months after she started, Williams became intrigued by the new technology Verizon brought in, as well as the benefits and opportunities for learning and advancement that became available to her. She saw a path to a long and fulfilling career. Almost 18 years later, Williams is now the director of the Alpharetta, GA call center, where she manages a team of 1,000.
Learning—and sharing her knowledge
As a young customer service rep, Williams took every opportunity to learn, not just for herself, but to help her fellow employees. "I didn't know how to use PowerPoint," she explains, "so I asked someone who used it regularly to teach me." After mastering the program, Williams taught it to everyone on her team. She also studied the benefits available to employees, and decided that not enough of her teammates were signing up for the company's 401(k) match. "I thought it was important that folks take advantage of every benefit out there," she says. So, Williams began approaching different teams, explaining why the benefit was in their best interest, and showing them how to sign up. "It was never necessarily about getting that next promotion," Williams says.
"It was more about thinking 'wow, we have hundreds of people here who may also be in their first corporate job. Why not learn as much as I can and give back while doing that?'"
Williams' go-getter attitude and generosity didn't go unnoticed by leadership. So, she built on that momentum, scheduling a meeting with every senior manager and associate director at her call center so she could sit down with them, tell them a little about herself and offer to help with the projects they were working on.
Williams began moving up through the ranks at her center. She eventually married and began looking for additional career opportunities. She saw a supervisor role open in Atlanta. She was initially nervous about moving to a big city where she had no support system, but, knowing it would be good for her career, she took the plunge. "I remember telling my husband 'don't let me get afraid and not make this move, because it may not seem like we have the means to make this happen, but let's do this anyway.' I always tell that story to illustrate that in the moment it may seem tough, but you have to keep looking forward and trust in the organization and in your ability to make it happen."
Signing up for every program and opportunity
Williams continued to advance at Verizon, embracing different roles along the way, eventually earning both her bachelor's degree in business administration and her master's degree in public administration. She even took on more responsibility at the company and had two more children. Williams used Verizon's Tuition Assistance Program to earn her degrees, and encourages everyone on her team to use all the employee benefits that apply to them.
"I still use the backup (childcare) assistance program today," she says. "There are times when the kids may be sick or child care falls through for some reason, and the backup program is great, because it's an immediate solution. I talk about it a lot, because there are a lot of single parents here, and it's a great benefit."
Williams also recommends the Employee Assistance Program (EAP), which connects employees to resources when they have a personal concern. "My middle son has autism," Williams says, "And the EAP connected us to special sites, groups and programs. They assigned us a caseworker, and connected us with people who were experiencing some of the same things we were experiencing. When we first found out what was happening with him, having that benefit available was just a tremendous help," she says.
Building relationships and overcoming fear
"I've always been focused on people, that's the core of who I am—I always want to help," Williams says of her success story. "So whenever I ask for something, I offer something in return. Or I just offer to help, and I leverage my platform to do that," she says. "I've leveraged those relationships to help my leaders, to help my front line, to create programs to help other folks be successful and to give back to the community."
Williams encourages her new hires to cultivate new relationships and to be brave. "I think one thing we are fortunate to have here at Verizon is a huge, diverse organization with people from all walks of life. So, just be explorative and get out there and know what's happening outside of your four walls and build new relationships," she says. "One thing I always tell my new hire classes: even though things may seem impossible or you may be fearful of taking that next step and moving forward, don't allow fear to dictate how successful you are going to be or what steps you are going to take."

In part one of this two-part series, we explored the current emphasis on accountability in women's sport equality globally. I and numerous others have contributed to the planning and strategy that will precede a high-level government meeting sponsored by the United Nations Educational Scientific and Cultural Organizations (UNESCO) this summer in Kazan, Russia. Here in part two, we will go into more detail about what work the Women's Sports Foundation (WSF), and partners WomenSport International (WSI) and International Working Group (IWG), are doing to put accountability on the table for the international community, including the major players of sport.
It is difficult to over-estimate the importance of MINEPS VI, a new guidance being put forth to further address diversity and inclusion in sport, in terms of finally enforcing accountability globally for the equity promises made through decades in documents, such as the Convention on the Elimination of all Forms of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW), Beijing Platform for Action, Brighton Plus Helsinki Declaration, Convention on the Rights of Person with Disability and others. As a reminder, MINEPS stands for Ministers and Senior Officials Responsible for Physical Education and Sports, the group that meets to discuss good governance and practice regarding the organization of PE and sport globally. The MINEPS VI meeting is scheduled to occur this summer in Kazan, Russia.
Recently, the expert group focused on developing a comprehensive vision of inclusive access for all began work at UNESCO Headquarters in Paris. I was a representative of IWG and WSF and, along with WSI and the International Association of Physical Education and Sport for Girls and Women (IAPESGW), we put the following recommendations on the table for the Ministers in Kazan:
Gender Equity Proposal for Action
Prepared by WSI, IWG, and IAPESGW
All member states will actively promote and achieve gender equity in sport consistent with the principles of the UN Charter for human rights and the UNESCO Charter for physical education, physical activity, and sport and other relevant international documents (CEDAW) emphasizing sport as an inalienable human right.
To achieve gender equity in sport, member states shall…
- Establish and support sports structures that promote equity, inclusion, and safety for girls and women in sport, physical education, and physical activity including representation at all levels of such structures
- Monitor and evaluate progress on SDG 5 to advance gender equality and empower all women and girls, especially through presently existing protocols such as CEDAW Country Reports
- Develop, implement, monitor, and evaluate gender mainstreamed action plans, and other appropriate transformation policies to eliminate the practice of all forms of discrimination and of gender-based violence against girls and women (with and without disabilities) in sport, physical education, and physical activity
- Use systematically planned and implemented research to improve the environment for girls and women in sport, physical education, and physical activity
- Develop designated national budget lines for girls and women in sport reaching all age/ability categories (school, recreation, differently-abled, elite)
- Develop and promote gender mainstreamed communications and awareness building to ensure that women have opportunities to network, advocate, advance, and be recognized
- Build awareness and encourage dialogue on sport and gender
- Implement sustainable sport and recreation programs that will contribute to increase in participation of girls and women at all levels and require public periodic evaluations of effectiveness, which results will be publishable on a score card system
- Establish gender units/desk offices staffed by people at decision making levels within Sports Ministries/Departments of Sport, National Sports Councils/Commissions, National Olympic Committees and National Paralympic Committees
- Implement a minimum 40% women representation in leadership positions of Government Ministries/Departments of Sport, National Sports Associations/Federations, National Sports Councils/Commissions, National Olympic Committees and National Paralympic Committees as well as women in teaching/coaching positions in
- Ensure representation of men and women in all sport events and activities within the member state and in international
We cannot know with certainty what specific monitoring and evaluation steps will be adopted in Kazan, but we will continue to advocate through all means at our disposal. Because we, citizens of the United States, organize sport so differently the MINEPS VI agreements will impact us indirectly; however, an impact will be felt.
For one thing, we know the Olympic Movement is a completely interactive system. The national sport and education Ministries will begin change in their countries. This will, in turn, act on all the National Governing Bodies and National Olympic Committees. The influence will spread to the International Federations and the International Olympic Committee (IOC), or it is possible that these groups may respond as soon as the MINEPS VI reports are made official. We know that the United Nations connections are important to the IOC so they will do what they can to speed up implementation.
If we are strong and vigilant, we CAN achieve gender equity both here in the United States and globally.

Good day yesterday for What If?
This collection (see below!) made it into the top 100 scifi anthology list yesterday(12-29-09) which is pretty cool considering it has had no real official promotion and, as far as I can tell, no reviews as of yet. It's a cracking little collection, very diverse, and I'm glad it's holding its own out there in the scary world.

Emraan Hashmi heads to Goa for new year
After two years, actor heads to Goa, where he owns a penthouse, to celebrate Christmas , New Year with family.bollywood Updated: Dec 28, 2011 19:16 IST
He has been part of back-to-back hits like Once Upon A Time In Mumbaai (2010), Dil Toh Baccha Hai Ji, Murder 2 and The Dirty Picture. As a result, Emraan Hashmi hasn't taken a break for almost two years now.But finally, the actor has taken some time off, and is currently on vacation in Goa with his family. Immediately after the completion of The Dirty Picture, Emraan was whisked away to Delhi for the shoot of Jannat 2.
"Due to that gruelling shooting schedule, he couldn't make it to The Dirty Picture's success party in Mumbai. But now, he has taken a much-needed vacation to his second home, Goa, for Christmas and New Year's. In fact, he is taking a break after two years. He hasn't spent time with his family and son in a while," says a member of Emraan's entourage.
When contacted, Emraan confirms "Yes, I have had been shooting since January for films, including Dibakar Banerjee's Shanghai. So, I haven't had a breather to disconnect from films. I couldn't even make it for the The Dirty Picture success party because I was busy with the last schedule of Jannat 2. But better late then never. I have finally taken off to my favourite destination, Goa."
For the uninitiated, Emraan has bought himself a four-storey, fully furnished penthouse in the beach city. The house has of a gym, swimming pool and private garden. Besides Shanghai, the actor's forthcoming films include Raj Kumar Gupta's Ghanchakkar, Vishesh Film's Jannat 2 and the Raaz sequel in 3D.
Emraan, interestingly, has turned down an offer from Mahesh and Mukesh Bhatt to act in the Jism sequel. He is also likely to team up with his The Dirty Picture co-star Vidya Balan in an Ekta Kapoor film.

Random Thoughts on a Variety Show
This year, it was less so. There were still some talented kids who played instruments, including one amazing pianist who did Für Elise with perfection. And there were a couple of group dance acts--one a group of second-grade girls, another four third-grade boys--who had great choreography and made the crowd laugh and cheer. And one okay act that made fun of local Blue Shield commercials that was kind of cute.
There were a great many that were uninspired, though, and made me long for years past. If the music choices had been better, even the bouncy-flailing would have been more fun.
My biggest complaint, however, is with the crowd. Happens every year. If I didn't know better, I'd think we were all a bunch of brainless morons. Any and every song that has a decent beat, the audience starts clapping along. It drives me insane, but when the dancers are doing the same thing, it's to be expected. But every song?
And it's not just the dance numbers. They did it for singers. For soloists.
They did it when one poor boy was singing Proud to be an American.
Fine, if you want to drown out the music 'cause you think the kids will feel you're "involved" with the performance, have fun. But do you have to make it impossible to hear the poor singers, those brave kids who get up their all by themselves and do something so personal? It's infuriating, and it isn't even my kid.
This year there also seemed to be a lot more high-pitched screaming when names were announced than in years past, and for the first time, there were hecklers in the audience. Things have really gone downhill since Number One's class moved up to the middle school.
Speaking of Number One. She didn't want to go. One of the first acts was the brothers of her crush, who accompanied them on guitar. (I love watching him perform, he's one of those kids who's a cut above everyone else. If they're still doing American Idol and the like in six years, we might be rooting for him.) I called Number One to tease her, and offered to go talk to him about teaching her guitar for the song she's writing. She begged me not to, said it was pathetic. I said I was at least going to tell him I liked hearing him play and that I was her mother.
She didn't want me to tell him I was her mother.
I feel like I've been shot in the heart. *sob*

HUGS, Natalie. It's so hard when they get to be that age!
I used to run the talent show when I was music teacher, and the audience was always so rude!
- Victoria said...
It's been awhile since I've been to one of those. I'm stunned by your description of the crowd. Hecklers in the audience of a kids talent show? That blows my mind!
I feel your pain with Number One.
- Natalie Damschroder said...
I've never witnessed this level of rudeness before. Maybe it's because we sat near the back this time and usually weren't, but it seemed to be all over.
The hecklers were young boys, so no big surprise there.

Apple Veggie Burgers on Ezekiel Bread, and a Juice!
Happy Tuesday! Today I have some bad news and some good news.
Bad news: I have been sick for a month and have been sleeping/hibernating through most of my winter.
Good news: Winter is going by fast, AND I finally have time to get on my computer and share some more recipes with you!
I'd like to start by talking about juicing. I got into juicing after one of my family members said it helped with her husband's ulcerative colitis. I was intrigued by this since I struggle with raw fruits and veggies because the fiber tears apart my stomach. The beauty of juicing is that it extracts the juice, nutrients, and antioxidants from the fruits/veggies while keeping the fiber out of it. Many people will look at this leftover fiber/pulp as waste, but to me it's a miracle to be able to reap the benefits of fruits and veggies without having the fiber aggravate my stomach.
I usually start out my dinner by making a juice. This has a few benefits:
- It gets me hydrated. All too often we are "hungry" when we are actually dehydrated.
- It satisfies my body's cravings for nutrients. My gut does not do a good job of absorbing nutrients, and many patients with ulcerative colitis have vitamin deficiencies because of this. Although I could take a multivitamin, I believe our bodies absorb nutrients better in their natural form, which is why I stay away from pills/supplements whenever I can. By using a juicer, I can concentrate a massive amount of nutrients into one glass.
- Having a juice keeps my stomach distracted while I am cooking dinner. Instead of snacking while cooking, I sip on my juice. By the time it's actually dinner time, I'm not as hungry as I initially was, and then I don't overeat (as much).
- Having a juice before anything else makes it taste better. When you are hungry, juices almost always taste good. When you spoil your taste buds with something rich and sweet first, it makes the juice taste awful! The same holds true for the food you eat. Start off your meal with a bland salad, then move your way up to the richer foods.
One thing to be aware of when juicing is that fruits have a lot of natural sugar in them. Try to focus mainly on veggies, and then use the fruits to make it more palatable if needed. I find carrots and beets to be veggies on the sweeter side.
Warning: Consuming lots of beets will make your urine and stool turn red. I had a week where I drank a lot of beet juice, and I thought I was getting another flare. That "blood" in my stool turned out to be beets :).
This is one of my favorite juices. The ingredients are:
3 carrots
1 beet with greens
2 apples
1/2 bell pepper
1-2 inches of fresh ginger
My juicer is the Breville Compact Juicer, and it works great!
I put my leftover pulp in my compost pile, but others will use it for cooking (ex – adding it to soups, breads, pasta, etc.).
In terms of nutrients, this juice alone has over 5000% your daily value of vitamin A and 600% your daily value of vitamin C!
Next up is dinner. This is a recipe I love for Apple Veggie Burgers. To make the burger part, chop up the following in a food processor:
1/2 cup chopped onion
1 granny smith apple
1/2 red bell pepper
1.5 tsp chopped fresh ginger
1 cup cooked brown rice
Once this is all chopped up, I squeeze the excess juice out of it. Then, I add about 1/2 cup oats (chopped in processor). I make up this step until I get the consistency I like. Then, add 1 egg to the mixture. From there, just form it into patties and cook the burgers on your stove top!
I don't eat any white flour, so I use a sprouted grains English muffin as my "bun." I actually found some sprouted grain buns the other day at the Natural Living Center, so that would work as well! I toast the English muffin before putting my burger on it.
The finished product. Yum!
I was impressed by the amount of protein in just one Ezekiel bun! I might be a vegetarian, but I don't have a problem getting enough protein :).
Many of you may look at my diet and think it's pretty restrictive. I mean, how can you eat anything without white flour, white sugar, or dairy? Although it is intimidating at first, I have learned to pick a meal I want, and then find a way to make it so I can eat it. For example, if I want pancakes I'll make buckwheat pancakes. If I want French Toast, I'll use Ezekiel Bread to replace regular bread and coconut milk to replace cow's milk. If I want a "sugar free" pumpkin pie, I'll sweeten it with honey or maple syrup and use a shredded coconut crust instead of a white flour crust. You get the point. The internet is an amazing resource and can be a great help in finding tasty recipes. Enjoy :).

Starting today, I'm ditching my daily doses of Vitamin E, and Fish Oil, as well as any aspirin, Advil, or Aleve. This scheme will give me a full week to forestall any possible bleeding that might be encouraged by my upcoming procedure.
Gratefully, I'm not scheduled for surgery. Instead, I'm going in for a tattoo touch-up, and hopefully a brand new one.
It wasn't my tattoo artist, Joe, who ordered the precautions I've outlined above; it's all on me. Because in past procedures where there was cutting, slicing, or injecting into my body -- hip replacement, and epidurals for back pain -- I recall those prescribed safeguards; so I figure, best to be prudent.
But Joe, likely concerned about this elderly woman soon to be prone on his table, welcomed the news of my pre-event regimen. In fact, he's the one who advised caution before going full speed ahead on tattoo two.
"Let's see how quickly you recover from the touch-up," he said, his voice wavering as if he was soon to drill into my brain. "If you have no problems, we'll schedule the next visit."
I was relieved to learn he would not be pushing ahead until we could assess my post-puncture skin recovery. For although I appear to be tough -- witness how often I bare my bicep to show off my first -- I have moments of what the hell am I doing?
It's then when I replay the reason for tattoo one (a design of a heart, musical notes, a rainbow, and the names of my two daughters), which I got worry-free and audacious 20 years ago. In an essay I wrote at the time, I claimed, Achieving age 60 is a chance to thumb my nose at society, a don't-give-a-damn-what-anyone-thinks-time to stray from conformity. So there'll be critics, who cares? After many in my age group have endured the collapse of a long marriage, kids who grow up and leave, and loved ones who die too soon, we get our priorities straight, and a barb tossed our way is harmless.
The image for this year's tattoo, on the cusp of my 80th birthday, landed on a seahorse. Here's why: I have been attempting to learn how to swim my entire adult life. I can count on fingers and toes the number of coaches who have tried to teach me how to breathe with my head above water. Finally, in 2016, when I was 78, and living at a building with an indoor pool, I found Kathy Kelly. I vowed that if she succeeded, I'd get a tattoo of a fancy fish for this milestone birthday.
After taking her weekly lessons, which consisted of drills that separated the process bit-by-bit, I did it! Now, I swim most mornings-- albeit with fins or floaters on my feet -- at the East Bank Club, which is across the street of my latest apartment. This residence was deliberately chosen because of its four pools, two outdoors and two indoors.
From the balcony ofmy 1 apartmentthat faces west, I can see the competitive swimmers in the fourth floor outdoor Olympic-sized pool. These intrepid athletes smash through the waters from opening day till the maintenance crew drains it empty, which is usually long past warm temps.
While I am in awe of their prowess, I have no desire to emulate their faultless strokes, flip turns, or speed. My goal has always been to swim for exercise, to raise the lazy beats of my heart while reducing any aches from age-related arthritis. So sometime between 6:30 and 7 a.m., you'll find me happily swimming a brief number of lengths in a smaller, family pool, indoors or out, depending on weather and accessibility.
Filtering through the fish possibilities, I decided that a seahorse is an ideal image; they are truly unique because of their unusual equine shape and arebad swimmers, propelling themselves through the water by using a dorsal fin.
As a totem animal, seahorses are known to be calm creatures who are content being who they are. This is perhaps the greatest seahorse symbolism, and they urge others to be equally as comfortable with themselves.
There's one more reason for the added artwork: I am now the age and stature (4'9") when folks often describe me as "cute" or "adorable." While I know my admirers are trying to be kind and complimentary, those words make me feel like a puppy or newborn. Perhaps my refreshed and fresh tattoos will help blot out those tags and possibly re-enforce "tough" and "formidable." Or; maybe not.

'This is not a job I ever went looking for' - Caitriona Perry on her move to RTE's Six One News
Caitriona Perry has told how she will be very sad to leave her job as Washington Correspondent for RTE to front the Six One news in January.
The Dubliner will be joined by fellow RTE star Keelin Shanley on the revamped news programme in January when Sharon Ni Bheolain will move to the Nine O'Clock News and Crimecall.
"I have to go back and pack up my whole live and say good bye to my lovely friends.
"This is not a job I ever went looking for. I think everyone knows how much I absolutely adored America and I loved the job," she told Independent.ie.
"While I'm very excited about the new role, there is a bit of a wrench involved to say goodbye to US politics.
"It's such a huge job, it's the thing everyone grew up watching with your tea or your dinner. It's part of the Irish psyche. So when I was offered this totally out of the blue, it was very difficult to say no to."
Perry said she will remain at her post in Washington for the rest of the year and doesn't think she will return to Ireland permanently until New Year's Day.
"I'm a staff member of RTE so the way things work, when you get to the end of your term, you have to come home if you want to be employed," she said.
Shanley added the pair were looking forward to putting their own stamp on the programme.
"It's very much a team effort. We are very much looking forward to working together and bringing our reporting to it as well. There's lots of possibilities," she said.

Don't get me wrong, I'm one of those people, but I wish this gigantic rocks are still a hidden secret.

Important Indicators that You Need a Hearing Aid
Early diagnosis and treatment are important to prevent damage to hearing health. Many people overlook the importance of regular hearing check-up to diagnose hearing loss, and the use of hearing aids to prevent further hearing complications. You have to watch out the important signs of hearing problems and visit an audiologist to detect hearing issues early, and for early treatment.
Hearing loss can significantly impact your interaction with other people. An obvious sign of hearing loss is when you need to turn the volume too high when you are listening to music or watching tv. If there is a consensus among your family and friends about your hearing problem, contact an audiologist immediately. Your audiologist may advise you to wear hearing aids such as Rexton Smart Connect to help reduce background and irrelevant noises, and to make voices sound clearer, thus helping in hearing and understanding speech. You may also have hearing problems if you are hard up following conversations in restaurants and other noisy social gatherings. If you have trouble understanding and hearing with background noise and you have to ask people to repeat themselves more often than usual is a valuable sign of a hearing problem. In order to help you in differentiating speech from noise, it is essential to wear good quality hearing aids like Rexton Smart Connect. For most people, hearing loss can be a sensitive topic, but it is important to seek proper treatment to prevent difficult lifestyle adjustments and to avoid frustrating problems in the future. Many people think that their hearing is okay because hearing loss is a gradual process. So what happens is that people with hearing loss easily become annoyed at others when you are unable to hear them, thinking that they are not speaking up or they are mumbling. People who realize they have hearing problems tend to avoid social situations that can lead to nervousness, stress, and embarrassment most especially in meeting new people, thus affecting their social life greatly.
Certain medications and medical conditions may lead to hearing problems such as people suffering from heart disease, diabetes, and thyroid problems. Don't hesitate to open up this topic to your family and to your doctor if you are experiencing hearing loss signs and symptoms so you are given the right treatment and management. Wearing a hearing aid does not need to be frustrating because it will help you hear better and socialize better. Our sense of hearing is just as important as our sense of sight, smell, touch, and taste, so we need to ensure we achieve good hearing health.

Two months ago, we were approached by Karl from Go Panda Productions to do a style shoot collaboration with some of the most creative vendors from Bridestory. We were initially unsure with the collaboration but we decided to go for it after being told that we were given creativity space to propose anything that fits the theme. After seeing the work that we've pulled in together, it was far more than excellent.
Karl told us that he chanced upon the second storey of The 1925 Brewing Co. Restaurant and had a strong urge to do the photoshoot here. And we totally got him after the site visit. The vintage and distressed wall drew attention to us and we designed the flower arrangement incorporating the colours of cream, vintage coral, mustard and maroon. Cream peony and vintage coral ranunculus were the highlight of the flower arrangement. Other filler flowers included strawflower, clover, scabiosa and achillea.
Within the arrangement:
Ranunculus | Peonies | Scabiosa | Straw Flowers

I finished the scarf for Hotel Man. He was gracious enough to let me take a photo of him in it.
Mr. E came over and spent Sunday afternoon with us. He came appropriately dressed for the game and for the holidays. I love the smile on his face.
Hotel Man, AKA Grampa Boo, adores Mr. E and I'm sure the feeling is mutual. Here they are having an intimate conversation. I think they are talking about how ugly the Patriots played on Sunday.I am almost finished with my Christmas gifts. I have a child's apron and a Christmas stocking left and then I'm done.
Tomorrow we are getting another snow storm. Hooray! I love snow, but I have to go to work instead of staying home and sewing. Oh well, I'll get a snow day sometime this winter.

EU steel imports rise ahead of Trump tariffs, threaten jobs - Eurofer
By Maytaal Angel
LONDON, March 20 (Reuters) - Imports of steel into the European Union have risen ahead of U.S. President Donald Trump's planned metals tariffs, European steel industry association Eurofer said, calling on EU leaders to take action to protect jobs.
Trump's plan to impose import tariffs of 25 percent on steel and 10 percent on aluminium takes effect on Friday, raising concerns about retaliatory measures that could spiral into a global trade dispute that damages growth.
The European Commission, the EU's executive arm, has said that if the EU was not exempted, it would set retaliatory tariffs of 25 percent on a range of U.S. products, whose annual imports to the bloc are worth 2.8 billion euros ($3.45 billion).
"We are already seeing the effects of Trump´s announcement", said Axel Eggert, director general of Eurofer. "In the first two months of this year, imports surged by 12 percent over and above the historic highs of 2016-2017."
About 40 million tonnes of steel are imported into the EU each year.
Eurofer estimates up to 13 million tonnes of steel that would have gone to the United States could be redirected due to Trump's tariffs, and says most of it could head to EU markets.
The association wants the EU to impose "safeguard" measures that would limit imports of steel products covered by the U.S. tariffs to levels of the past few years.
The EU has said it plans to impose safeguards but has not said how comprehensive they would be.
"We continue to expect a swift response from the European Commission implementing safeguard measures, helping to assuage fears over a significant pullback in pricing due to imports," said investment bank Jefferies in a note.
Despite a rise in imports, Jefferies said offer prices were only at marginal discounts and domestic EU steel prices had continued to rise, highlighting a tight supply demand balance.
The EU steel sector employs some 320,000 people directly and millions more indirectly.

There are 10 sports in the Meijer State Games that draw the most athletes every year. Read on to learn about the 10 biggest sports in the Meijer State Games of Michigan.
Mike Knuble: 7 Things Every Young Hockey Player Should Learn
Jeff Jackson: 5 Things That Will Help You Get Recruited For College Hockey
By the time Jeff Jackson left Michigan to become a professional hockey coach, he had already established himself as one of the most successful coaches of his generation at the college level. In ten seasons of coaching at Lake Superior State University, Jeff coached the Lakers to four NCAA Frozen Four appearances and three NCAA Men's Ice Hockey Championships, with Jeff leading the charge toward the last two championships as the head coach.
Since returning to the ranks of collegiate coaches, this time at Notre Dame, Jeff has continued his winning ways by guiding the Fighting Irish to multiple CCHA Championships and NCAA Frozen Four appearances.
Given all of Jeff's coaching success, it comes as no surprise that he regularly hears from young hockey players that are intent on making it onto the ice for a top college hockey program. With that in mind, Jeff shared five things with us that hockey players should do if they ever want to tie on their skates and take the ice for a Frozen Four contender.
1. Make Your Intentions Known
It's a popular misconception that college athletic programs have unlimited time and resources to spend recruiting young talent. They don't. Programs like Notre Dame tend to concentrate on recruiting a certain talent profile within a targeted region of the country. But if you live far away from the school of your choice, that doesn't mean you're doomed to remain off of its recruiting radar. According to Jeff, if you want to get recruited, sometimes all you have to do is ask.
"It never hurts for kids, if they have an interest in a school, to reach out and send a letter or an email to express an interest," Jeff said. "In most cases, we go out and watch kids. Some of it is word of mouth, but sometimes we hear about a kid that's a good player who has an interest in Notre Dame. That's how we got Riley Sheahan who is now playing for the Detroit Red Wings; we heard that he had an interest in Notre Dame, so we went out and saw him play."
2. Learn To Be A Playmaker At High Speed
Developing skills during practice is all well and good, but unless you can execute during an actual hockey game, those skills are meaningless. Not only should aspiring hockey players play in as many truly competitive games as possible, but Jeff actually suggests limiting the space you have to play in while you practice. That way, you'll force yourself to assess situations and react quickly, and this ability will make you a more reliable playmaker for your team.
"The game is really about mastering time and space, both offensively and defensively," Jeff said. "At every level you move up, there's less time and less space to make plays. You can work on your skills, but until you can do those things with pressure in competitive situations, then you can only incrementally improve. These things are developed over time. This is why kids need to try to do things at a high pace when they're practicing and training."
3. Make Yourself Strong
Not only does the time and space on the ice shrink on every new level as a result of your opponent's increased speed and skill, but it also decreases because your competition is physically larger as well. In order to compete with opponents for that decreased ice space, hockey players that truly wish to be competitive will have to get bigger and stronger in their own right. And in order to do this, lifting weights is absolutely necessary.
"Physical strength and explosive power are huge," Jeff said. "When kids get to that age when they can start training their strength, they should. Some strength is natural and develops over time, but usually it can be developed with weights. Kids should focus on Olympic-type lifts like squats, cleans and deadlifts, and also things that focus on the hockey-type areas between the chest and the knees. A true 18-year-old freshman may end up competing with 24-year-old seniors, and if you're 150 pounds trying to complete with a guy that weighs 230 pounds, that's a challenge."
4. Learn To Stay In Shape Off The Ice
Let's be honest; not everyone is blessed enough to grow up with a hockey rink in their backyard like Wayne Gretzky was. For most people, ice time comes with a financial cost, and even then, time on the ice is limited by a rink's availability. Compounding the problem is the fact that hockey players need to have tremendous conditioning in order to get up and down the ice quickly while maintaining that speed throughout a shift. As Jeff will tell you, the best hockey players find a way to stay in shape even when ice access is limited.
"There are aerobic and anaerobic types of conditioning, and hockey players need to have both," Jeff said. "A lot of conditioning can be done off the ice as long as you are willing to pay the price. There's running, or there's the treadmill. Hockey may be an anaerobic sport where things are done in short shifts, but you have to have an aerobic base first. It's important to be in the top shape of your life to prepare for hockey season, but there's maintenance done during the season and a lot of that is done off the ice. You can help yourself a lot by going at a high tempo in practice, but if you only go at three-quarters of your speed in practice, you're not helping yourself very much."
5. Get Used To Monitoring What You Eat
If you're still living at home with your parents, or even if you're living on your own, you might be able to get away with eating whatever is put in front of you regardless as to how it may influence your body. At a top-tier NCAA program, this is not the case. So, if you're not making disciplined dietary decisions right now, you should get used to it. Otherwise, it's going to come as a rude awakening when the school nutritionist starts doling out the meal plans.
"When we have a specific player that may need to cut bodyfat, maintain their weight or even gain weight, that player is put on a specific type of diet, and that may be paired with supplements," Jeff said. "We have things like the training table, which all the athletes attend, and we have pre-game meals and post-game meals that we all have together. So, we can track and monitor what a player eats and what they're putting into their bodies as far as protein drinks and supplements go. It's a big part of what we do, and we have people to monitor that for us that are professionals."

What is it ?
How to use it ?
Dosage & Tips

First of all you may understand the term "full-spectrum". When talking about cannabis, our full- spectrum oil means that the oil extracted contains all components from the original cannabis plant.
As a result, full-spectrum distillate oil taste and smell exactly like its original plant. It is also more efficient and last longer than isolate CBD products. Indeed, whereas CBD isolate, as the name says, is pure isolated CBD, full-spectrum oil is in the other hand contains all the other active plant compounds of the plant.
It is well known that most of the medicinal effects of the cannabis actually come from the CBD. So for what should you care about the others compounds ? Well CBD is actually more effective when you use it along with other compounds of the cannabis plant, than when you use it alone. it was used by itself.
CBD is a great solution for stress, pain release, sleeping issues. The full-spectrum oil will give you the greatest solution to your problem !
2- How to use it ?
There are different ways to consume full-spectrum CBD oil. The most efficient way is to directly put the oil under your tongue. We advise to keep it in your mouth (don't swallow it) for a quicker effect.
Of course, you can use it with food: simply mix a dose of oil into your dishes. You can also easily add it to your drinks.
3- Dosage & Tips

Every person is different and it is hard to give you a precise right dosage, but we advise you to start with a small quantity. Your body will then build a tolerance to it and you will so to have to increase your dosage.

It's been almost a week since my father has taken any fluids. He's no longer urinating and his fingernails are starting to turn blue as his body is abandoning the extremities and rallying around the core of the heart and lungs to keep life going.
Yesterday I wrote his obituary bedside and recalled how after being wounded twice and MIA in WWII he told me that "everything after that was gravy."
On the farm with my dad, cutting slab wood for the wood furnace.
|He'd seen a huge amount of death early in his life. Of the twenty guys who joined his rifle unit with him, he was the only guy to make it out alive after seeing some of the most intensive action in Anzio, through southern France and in the final push into Germany. After being patched up for the second time he was at Dachau right after the prison camps were liberated.
Now he's again in his personal relationship with death, this time washed and shaved, medicated with morphine and Haldol, tilted to one side so his freed up lung can breathe.
I thought he'd be in a coma by now, but he still focuses his eyes, mostly his right one, and sometimes tracks me when I talk to him. I've read him Keats, who was his specialty as an English professor, and read him some advice from the Tibetans, specialists in the art of letting go. I've guided him through a few meditations, told him the story of this life and all he's given and all of his kids have told him it's OK to go.
One breath at a time, we're all letting go.

My father-in-law is a Master Captain. Seriously. That's not just something he wants to be called. He's actually a Master Captain.
When visiting a couple of months ago, he wanted some new photos of him and his boat. The idea was great. He went out on his sailboat, I went out on a paddle boat with a $1000 of photography equipment. What could go wrong? Also, trying to capture a tack-sharp photo of a sailboat cutting through the water while balancing on a much, much smaller boat, in low light, was fool's errand.
Overall, the shoot was fine. Sadly, the weather was not. It rained during the day and was cloudy in the evening. I took some artisic licensing on the editing of the sky and background. In the end, I found a few portraits I liked, but I would really like the opportunity to try this again. I feel like I learned a hundred lessons during this shoot that would benefit me if given another chance.
