An outstanding round of golf on Saturday has seen Tegan Proudfoot equal the long-standing Queens Park course record.
The talented golfer recorded a very impressive 63, equalling a course record set more than three decades ago.
The official record of 63 was achieved by John Vear on 18 August, 1979. Since then it has only been equalled one other time - on 24 May 1986 by Michael Lucas.
With a course par of 71, this is a huge effort from Tegan and hopefully a sign of some more good form to come in 2014.

Millennium & Copthorne launches three new brands in Middle East
Millennium & Copthorne Hotels Middle East and Africa (MEA) will unveil a trio of new-to-region hospitality brands at Arabian Travel Market (ATM) 2014 as part of its planned program of expansion and growth, with a target of 50 properties by 2017.
The three new brands will shortly be making their debut in the region ŌĆō Studio M, M Hotel and Millennium Executive Apartments - will each address new and growing market segment needs and help Millennium & Copthorne grow its brand presence throughout the Middle East.
ŌĆ£We see immense scope for development in the region and have identified certain gaps in the market where Millennium & CopthorneŌĆÖs own unique portfolio of brands will fit perfectly with the target audience whilst bringing different aspects of our brand philosophy to guests across the Middle East from the UAE to KSA,ŌĆØ said Ali Hamad Lakhraim Alzaabi, President & CEO, Millennium & Copthorne Hotels MEA.
A contemporary concept created to appeal to smart and trendy corporate and leisure travelers and designed for the young at heart with its chic and contemporary functionality, Studio MŌĆÖs contemporary conceptual design by world-renowned Italian designer Piero Lissoni delivers a ŌĆśhip and happeningŌĆÖ environment at an affordable price.
The first Studio M in the Middle East will open on the King Fahad Road in Riyadh in Q2 2015 with a 145-key property featuring dedicated meeting facilities signature design and an exciting new all-day dining concept called ŌĆ£At the M.ŌĆØ
ŌĆ£We are extremely excited about bringing Studio M to the region as there is a clear need for mid-market urban brands with a tech-savvy identity to attract Gen Y travelers who are the corporate decision-makers of the future. We also hope we can build future brand loyalty for our five-star brands,ŌĆØ said Alzaabi.
Abu Dhabi, Doha, Dubai, Al Khobar, Riyadh and Jeddah have been identified as prime locations for the innovative mid-market brand with Alzaabi confirming that the Doha and Dubai sites are already at an advanced stage of negotiations, with a total of six properties set to be signed/launched by 2017. ŌĆ£We have also received investment interest to create a Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV) that could help develop the brand further, and grow the number of Studio M properties in as many as 20 locations within the next five years,ŌĆØ he noted.
M Hotel, with its urban lifestyle concept, is firmly aimed at the business traveler with spacious, stylish design and business-friendly functionality, is set to be initially rolled out into Dubai, Doha, Riyadh and Jeddah by 2017.
ŌĆ£Located in CBDŌĆÖs or urban hubs, M Hotels are all about smart-tech function with a strong service-focused philosophy; essentially somewhere where business and pleasure meet with a modern, international vibe and the requisite international lifestyle elements that build brand identity and, hopefully, customer loyalty. We have secured a prime Jeddah location and are busy acquiring locations in Dubai while also moving forward with a project in Makkah,ŌĆØ said Alzaabi.
Rounding out the big ATM reveal is the Millennium Executive Apartments concept, which Alzaabi says will specifically address the growing demand for serviced apartments in the region. ŌĆ£This brand is a global first for Millennium & Copthorne and will debut in the Middle East. We see huge opportunity here both from business travelers and contractors/consultants looking for competitively priced mid to long-stay fully serviced options, as well as GCC nationals for whom apartment-style living under a major hospitality brand umbrella is the ideal solution to family travel with all on-hand facilities and spaciously configured flexible accommodation.ŌĆØ
The Millennium Executive Apartments model is also an attractive option for hotel investors looking to secure higher financial returns from a lower cost structure, and incorporating efficient and practical design.
The first Millennium Executive Apartment property will open in Muscat by Q4 2014 followed by a second opening in the popular Dubai Marina district in Q4 this year, with 10 stand-alone and mixed-use development-sited properties targeted across key GCC cities within the next three years.
The 115-key Millennium Executive Apartments, Muscat will be connected to the Grand Mall Muscat development where the company recently announced the signing of its Grand Millennium, Muscat Hotel. A Copthorne Muscat Hotel will also open nearby. In Dubai, the Marina property will offer 151 spacious one to three-bedroom apartments, two penthouse apartments and eight villas with access to a spa, gym and two swimming pools.
ŌĆ£We are looking to maintain our growth strategy for hybrid projects where we can develop both hotels and service apartment properties; however, the stand-alone model is also receiving tremendous interest, especially for Sharia-compliant projects,ŌĆØ said Alzaabi.
Currently Millennium and Copthorne Hotels & Resorts operates 17 hotels, with approximately 5,000 rooms across the United Arab Emirates, Kuwait, Jordan, Qatar, Oman and Iraq, with an ambitious expansion plan. As part of their regional expansion plans, the Hotel and Resort group recently announced plans to open a total of 50 new hotels by 2017, this includes 20 hotels in Saudi Arabia.

The potent grappler may have transformed from underground prospect
to Top-10 talent in just three years, but the
Bellator lightweight king says he still has plenty to
accomplish, despite already wearing championship gold.
"You've got to stay grounded. What I've accomplished so far is
nothing compared to what I want to accomplish as far as wins and
putting on great performances for the fans," Chandler recently said
during a media conference call. "Being relatively young in the
sport, I just try to stay humble and hungry. I'm healthy, and I'm
going to try to continue to get better and continue to prove to
myself that I have a ton more potential than I've already shown. I
haven't slowed down since I started out in this sport, and I don't
plan on slowing down now."
Chandler will put that attitude to the test tonight when he faces
Hawn in the main event of
Bellator 85, which takes place at the UCI Bren Center in
Irvine, Calif., and airs live on Spike TV. A 2004 Olympic judoka,
Hawn has found his place as a lightweight, dropping down from 170
pounds to win Bellator's Season 6 tournament at 155 pounds.
Possessing a heavy right hand and excellent takedown defense, Hawn
could prove to be Chandler's stiffest test to date -- a possibility
the champion finds appealing.
"One of the best things about this fight is the opportunity to
fight a competitor like Rick Hawn, a
guy who has proved himself and is getting a lot of respect in the
MMA world," said Chandler. "I don't focus on how I would like to
get the finish. I just focus on the game plan I've gone over with
my coaches, and if a finish comes, then it comes. If not, you're
going to see a five-round war, and I think the fans would love
that. It's going to be an exciting fight from bell-to-bell, no
matter what."
Chandler returns to the cage having fought just once in the past 14
months. After wresting the title from Eddie
Alvarez in a "Fight of the Year" nominee in 2011, the
hard-hitting wrestler was booked against retiring veteran Akihiro Gono
in a non-title bout this past May. Chandler wasted no time in
finishing the respected Japanese talent, earning a technical
knockout win in just 56 seconds. Despite that one-sided victory
coming more than eight months ago, the champion says he has
nevertheless managed to stay sharp during his layoff.
"I've done a lot of training and made the move down to Alliance
[MMA] and done a lot of [public relations] to try to get my name
out there as much as possible," said Chandler. "I really feel like
I've grown a ton as a fighter and gotten a ton better. As long as
I'm performing at a high level, and I go out there and put on a
great show, I'm going to get that momentum back."
As if the pressure of putting his title on the line for the first
time wasn't enough, Chandler must also deal with his status as
Bellator's first headliner on Spike TV. In spite of this, the
champion says he feels no extra pressure heading into his showdown
with Hawn.
"I think we should all feel an obligation as fighters, whether
we're the first fight on the card or the main event, to always go
out there and put on a great show and be prepared to fight five
hard rounds at an exciting pace and look for a finish at all
times," said Chandler. "I don't feel any extra obligation or added
pressure. I've had that burning desire to go out there and put on
an exciting fight ever since I had my first fight in front of 45
His confrontation with Hawn now just hours away, Chandler hopes
this bout will serve as the first of several Bellator appearances
in 2013. Whereas last year proved largely uneventful for the
26-year-old, Chandler says he would like to fight actively in the
coming months.
"This new deal with Spike is exciting, because there is already
going to be another tournament champion crowned here soon," said
Chandler. "I've definitely expressed to Bjorn [Rebney]
wholeheartedly that I want to fight three to four times this

Pennington will be third QB vs. Texans
HEMPSTEAD, N.Y. -- Chad Pennington will be the No. 3 quarterback for the New York Jets when they play the Houston Texans on Sunday.
Pennington, who broke and dislocated his left wrist in a preseason game against the New York Giants, will only play if starter Vinny Testaverde and backup Brooks Bollinger get hurt.
If Pennington enters the game for the Jets (1-4) before the fourth quarter, Testaverde and Bollinger would not be able to return.
Coach Herman Edwards said Wednesday there is a 50-50 chance Pennington will start the Jets' following game, against Philadelphia. Pennington has been cleared to practice and is not listed on the team's injury report.
Edwards will decide whether to start Pennington against the Eagles based on practice this week. Pennington will not comment on his progress.
"You can't worry about Chad, because Vinny's the quarterback, he's going to have to play good again and we're going to have to help him," Edwards said.
Testaverde is not even thinking about the day Pennington returns to the lineup.
"Whatever is best to help the team win, that's the bottom line," Testaverde said. "We all know what's going to happen. When the time comes, I'll deal with it in my own way."

TEHRAN - Predominantly Shiite Muslim Iran will combat terrorism by Sunni extremists in neighboring Iraq, President Hassan Rouhani warned Thursday.
Rouhani did not say exactly what Iran intended to do to help stop an offensive by fighters from the Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham (ISIS) that is pushing toward Baghdad after seizing several cities and towns to the north.
"This is an extremist, terrorist group that is acting savagely," Rouhani said live on state television, adding that Tehran will not "tolerate this violence and terror."
"For our part, as the government of the Islamic Republic of Iran we will combat violence, extremism and terrorism in the region and the world," said an agitated Rouhani.
Rouhani said he would head to a meeting of Iran's Supreme National Security Council following his speech.
That body decides on the Islamic state's major foreign policy and security policies, and it would have to approve any military support Tehran might want to provide to Baghdad.
The president spoke after the heavily armed militant group -- which has overrun major Iraqi cities and towns in the face of little effective resistance from security forces -- said it was pushing towards Baghdad.
Iran is seen as an ally of Iraq's Shiite prime minister, Nuri al-Maliki, whose government's swift loss of control has raised concerns over its ability to stop the ISIS offensive.

Only just discovered this bar and will be going back a lovely spot to enjoy the late sunshine. Great staff and drinks.
Stumbled onto this gem on our way to the Ugly Duckling. The welcome was incredibly warm and the drinks were generous and very reasonable. Really lovely bar for cocktails - definitely worth a visit.
A small bar in the old town of Corralejo, with very friendly service. A good place to sit and have a drink while watching the world go by, but nothing special that made me yearn to go back. Not that there's anything wrong with the place; what you see is what you get.
Well we found this lovely place run by to lovely ladies, so friendly and made us most welcome, now they have a treat as we are returning this year to see them again

AUSTIN (AP) — Texas Republican gubernatorial candidate Greg Abbott says he would not sign a bill to make it easier for women to bring pay discrimination suits, hoping to get past an issue that has dogged his campaign for weeks.
A spokesman for the campaign told The Associated Press on Wednesday that the attorney general would not sign the proposed law known as the Lilly Ledbetter Act.
The act extends the statute of limitations for bringing lawsuits where an employer paid a person less because of their gender, race or religion.
Democrats began attacking Abbott on the issue after he refused to answer a question about the act in a televised interview. Since then, women acting as campaign surrogates for Abbott have made gaffes explaining why they opposed the law.

SCRANTON - A city woman faces assault charges for striking her boyfriend's teenage son, city police said.
Kristy Kakareka, 32, 1143 Eynon St., was charged with simple assault and harassment when police arrived at her home at 11:48 p.m. Sunday.
The father, Todd Lazuka, told police that Ms. Kakareka hit his son in the mouth during an argument. Ms. Kakareka said the son hit her as well, but she did not have any visible injuries. The son, however, had a small cut on his bottom lip, though photographs were not taken because of the size of the injury, police said.
Ms. Kakareka is in Lackawanna County Prison in lieu of $5,000 bail. A preliminary hearing is scheduled for Monday.

Updated October 23rd, 2009 at 03:57 PM by Donna
I played tennis again tonight, possibly a mistake, but it was in the 70s, and a balmy southern breeze under conditions of squinting could just possibly be mistaken for a summer wind, so I played.
Terribly. Mistake after error-riddled mishitting -- that word doesn't look right, perhaps it needs a hyphen: mis-hitting.
At one point I wondered if it is possible that I might just be one of those very rare individuals known as a savant idiot.
The more common idiot savant is, of course, a person tremendously gifted in one very specific skill: some weird math ability, for instance, or musical genius, or the ability to sculpt exact replicas of X or Y--but other than this one specific spot of genius, is sort of thick in all other avenues in life.
Could I be, I wondered, after flubbing yet another easy backhand into the net, or "lobbing" a wounded duck of a Penn 3 into the oversized sweet spot of my adversary's smashing Babelot--could I, might I, is it possible, even remotely, that the one known as Jimby might be a savant idiot:
A genius in every aspect of life except one, that being tennis, and in this area, I am profoundly retarded?
I was musing on my possible savant idiocy diagnosis when other areas of profound retardation began emerging: for example, not knowing how to stop talking about my lesion in polite company. This is probably a case of social retardation, but nuances aside, it did make me realize that tennis is not my only area of disabling dunderheadedness.
In fact, there appear to be many, not the least of which is the ability to remember the others.
So, I probably am not a Savant Idiot after all, at least in the true sense.
Our local paper wrote me up in an article today, which I found out by accident. The writer had emailed me some questions, which I filled out, and I thought she said she would call for a followup interview, but she didn't. Then when I was picking up a submarine sandwich for dinner tonight, the submarine sandwich vendor said, "You are Thornton, aren't you? I was reading about you in the Sewickley Herald."
You too can read about me in the Sewickley Herald. Interestingly, this is only Part 1. I may have mentioned during the email "interview" that I had developed a lesion following my return from Idaho.
I wonder if Part 2., which is scheduled to run next week, will focus on this aspect of my life.
Here is the link: http://www.yoursewickley.com/sewickl...-wild-part-one
Interestingly, three weeks earlier, the Sewickley Herald ran a different story on the Bed & Breakfast my wife and I (well, almost entirely my wife) restored. If you are ever likely to be in these here parts and want a nice place to stay that doesn't smell like a chain motel, you might want to check this out, too:
One thing you don't need to worry about is contracting my lesion.
It really does not seem to be getting better, nor worse.
I made an appointment for tomorrow. It may be time to remove my groin. Drastic, maybe even draconian. But sometimes you have to kill the patient to save him.
Little Jimby, it was nice being your traveling companion thru life, but it's time we parted ways.
The entire retrospective horrorshow for your continuing dietary efficacy:
I slept in till 9:00 a.m. That was sweet!
I opted to swim solo early so I could" hang out" with oldest daughter tonight. I had the whole pool to myself; I felt like the Aqua Queen! Here's the workout:
*500 Free Warm-up Swim
*200 Dolphin Kick on Back with fins
*4 X 25 Fly--Sprint as fast as possible no fins on :45 interval (18-20-21-19)
*4 X 25 Fly--Sprint with Fins on :30 interval
*100 Dolphin Kick on Back (no fins ugh, I gave up the 200 and only did 100...sissy)
*4 X 25 Fly----Sprint on :45 interval
*2 X (200 Free--2 X 100 Free--4 X 50--8 X 25)
(200's 3:30 interval/100's 1:50 interval/50's 1:00 interval/25's :30 interval)
*200 IM Moderate rest swim
*4 X 50 Backstroke on 1;00 interval.
done and out 3,100 SCY
Lindsay and I ate at this new quaint little eatery named Petite Chou. We had some delicious Croque Monsieur and frites along with a nice glass of French chard. I brought a moist, fudgey brownie home too. I keep running downstairs and breaking pieces off. It will be gone all too soon. So much for a diet.
I have the official results from the meet and there was no one in my heat that went a 1:54, but there was someone who did a 150 in 1:54. I was racing, probably several people, who were in the warm up lane. I am changing my name to qdumbass.
More interesting:
I have worked out 5 times in 3 days and will probably hit 12 workouts for the week. 5 swimming, 3 weights, 4 conditioning.
KPN is giving a clinic this weekend. Hopefully she can teach me how to swim. I am counting this as a workout, it is at least 75 minutes of water time.
I booked my Asia flights yesterday. $121 for two people in business/first for 18,506 miles. I love airline miles.
I still think that my 200 was a lack of conditioning issue. Obviously I am working on that a little harder now.
In the up coming A meets, I will swim the 50 and the 100 for racing practice. That will give me 2 meets in Nov and 3 in Dec, instead of 1 and 2. Dec is my next shot at a 200 A time.
Jeff Comings is sending me a tempo trainer. I assume this has something to do with his Swimming World responsibilities, but it was awesome to see that HE was the one on the from address in the email. Even that brush probably won't make me a better breaststroker, but I am ok with that.
My next 200 free is at the DAM SCM meet. The A cut is 2:12 SCM, so my goal is to go faster than that at Lifetime before the meet.
My coach told me I am flat on my left side, but my rotation is good on my right side (breathing side). My left shoulder bothers me... He pointed this out at the end of a timed mile, (20:43), so I think this gets worse as I get tired, but is something I need to work on. He said to look for it in the videotaping this weekend, or even better, fix it before then.
Warm up:
400 swim
200 kick
250 fly drills
6 x 25 SDK shooters on back
Speed work:
1 x 50 AFAP SDK on back w/fins (went 27ish)
3 x (25 AFAP evil + 75 EZ)
no warm down, sat in hottub instead.
Total: 1550 meters
Unfortunately, I fell asleep on the couch last night. Woke up at 3:45 am with a creaky neck and sore left trap. Had trouble sleeping afterward b/c of the neck pain. I do this neck wrenching thing periodically ... Can't turn my neck much at the moment and my chiro is booked. I hope the pain & wrenching subside by Sunday. Any tips?
Because of the lack of sleep and neck pain, the swim didn't feel so great. My legs still feel tired. One day, as part of turning myself into a research lab, I'm going to do the Mike Heather taper and just stay in bed for a week. Of course, this may occur after my children are grown. lol
Sprint Classic:
The psych sheets are up:
Really looking forward to the meet, which is always fast and fun. My former secret nemesis is swimming, but with some very slow seed times for her. I also detect some other sandbagging. I'm seeded first in the 50 fly/back/free. Because Petra Martin wants a day off from the pool from coaching, I have a chance to defend my Drop Dead Sprinter title from the last 2 years. But I appear to have some worthy adversaries, including my coach, some young Reston chicks, Lisa Rapuano, etc. My lazy coach, claiming lack of fitness, is only swimming the 25s. I scolded her for this.
I'm looking forward to the 50 back! All my best lady buddies are in my heat -- Julie-Mulie, Mollie-Jolie, Barb and Alison. Jules is very worried about swimming with us, but I tried to remind her that she did excellently at Savagman with no swim training!
As Speedo mentioned, there will definitely be some very exciting men's events, especially the 50 free, 50 back and 100 IM. It will be fun to watch Speedo and Clay race in the 200 free as well. Since Jimby is plagued with his lesion named Pincha, he is not competing. But in his place, he has sent Mark Cox from the Sewickley Masters. And he is rather speedy -- he may give Neill a race in the 50 evil!
Assuming my neck is ready, the rest of me is ready for my evilstroke gridges with Stud and Hulk.
Hopefully, we can all grab lunch after at our usual RH&B or somewhere else.
Today's Ramble:
1. Is it possible to get over an instinctive hatred of an event? I can't stand the 100 free ...
2. Is it possible that I have what Jimby refers to as "monofin arthritis"? My big toe knuckle has had chronic tendonitis since dropping the monofin on it and I'm worried it's morphed to arthritis. I notice it especially after running. I think I need new running shoe inserts ...
3. Will Geek respond to my counter-offer with another preposterous negotiating ploy?
4. I feel less flexible this week without yoga.
5. Here are Jazzy's thoughts on 50 free breathing:
"If you're going 24-25ish, two breaths sounds about right, and three might even be better. That's about how long it takes me to do 50m, and I wouldn't try that on a single breath. But, everybody is different. I think you want to be feeling fresh at the end of a 50. Extreme fatigue probably means you didn't breathe enough. Or you are way out of shape. With that guideline, you can figure it out with trial and error. But honestly it seems more of a 2 vs. 3 thing for you than 1 vs. 2.
I'm still undecided on breathing early versus late. Q tipped me off that C02 buildup may be the main problem, in which case late is better. Another advantage to late is that your first breath is always going to last longest. But, I still think there might be something to breathing early to prevent fatigue late. If pressed, I would say a single breath goes midway through the last 25."
6. I have perused the NE Champs results from last year. I don't think I will have to "game" much to avoid an outside lane in most events. (Patrick will be happy.) But I have no idea what time to enter for the 50 evil. I've only swum it once 2 years ago. I see I still have NE records in the 50/100 back from 2 years ago. Hopefully, I'll go faster this year! I seem to recall that I swam that 100 back on about 10 minutes rest. I almost scratched it, but Stud urged me to swim and I thanked him for it.

Darkness greets us as we shiver on the edge of the deck.
The water is deep blue, placid and glassy. It looks cold and uncaring.
Lane lines, red and white, parallel the black line markers under water and seem to beckon.
The whistle blows and in one swift leap, the water embraces us, chills us and finally soothes us as our minds turn inward.
Swirls of steam rise into the dark morning sky.
Was a tad late this morning. I woke-up VERY crabby and exhausted. I took a 3 minute nap in my car when I got to the pool. I was exhausted.

"The superior man bends his attention to what is radical. That being established, all practical courses naturally grow up."
-ConfuciusOrigins of the Tropical Splash
2003 Recollections
Our Lee Rec Center did not have an automatic timing system, so manual stopwatch timing by volunteers was needed. We would run 8 lanes for competition, and leave the two lanes near the deep diving end for warmups. Lanes were standard width, water depth varied from about 9-feet to 4-feet.
Although they were not yet crumbling, the county facilities were built decades ago and were managed and maintained without swim competitions in mind. With nearby George Mason University, Montgomery Aquatic Center, and University of Maryland pools hosting meets, we did not see our aging facilities as a big draw. We needed to rely on something else to attract meet entries.
The super swimmers serious about their Top Ten times and national rankings were not going to flock to our minimum standards pool. So, the decision was made to pitch the meet to the new swimmer; the over-the-counter swimmer; the blue-collar swimmer. These are the everyday swimmers who slosh through their weekly workouts between kids' activities, work, spouses, and errands, but still keep on swimming. There were more of them than the elite swimmers, so there should be a bigger pool of possible entries. We were going after the swimmer who did not like to compete in meets.
Now, does this sound really stupid or what? Raise money by hosting a meet for people that did not go to meets.
Why didn't they like meets - we asked around our team. The answers came back as: Emphasis on competition; Not fun; Boring; Too much pressure. We decided to plan a meet where competition and pressure and boredom were eliminated, and a good time prevailed. We were going to plan a FUN meet! This is when our creativity (normally only released with illegal substance abuse) kicked in, and the Blue-Gray Meet was hatched.
We were going to make competition fun. Being at Lee Rec Center (of General Robert E. Lee fame), we decided to host a meet where swimmers from DC, Maryland, and points north would swim for a Blue team, and swimmers from Virginia and points south would be the Gray team. We would award tchotchkes to all team members from the winning team. The regular individual awards would be custom blue and gray war medals. We would give a special souvenir tee shirt to swimmers making this their first meet. We would have a fun 'cannonball' relay where swimmers would swim with the plastic colored 'cannonballs' found in a basket at the kids end of the pool.
The meet entry form was developed (click image) to submit with our sanction request form, complete with the proper wording of the release of liability found in the Rule Book. The pool manager was contacted to review times and procedures for the meet, and then the bomb . . .

Arrange and firm up the pool, procedures, rules, and rental before doing or planning anything.

Ran 5k today. Had hoped to go at a faster pace, but just haven't felt good since the end of last week. I know that POTs thing is still kind of kicked up and the bottom line is that running is not the ideal thing for it.
The way I felt today, I contemplated just giving running up. I think it is really wearing me out, particularly when the POTs is kicked up. At the same time, some running does actually seem to help keep it from acting up too much. It is also good for bone density, good HDL counts, slimming up, etc.
I'm struggling though with the idea of not being very competitive anymore. There are a few local 5ks where I would love to beat a few people. Have to confess I used to love nothing more than to beat people who trained twice the mileage, especially those who were rumored to say, "All she can do is swim."
Although I felt great a couple of weeks ago, I feel like I have now gone backwards. Not sure if this is because of the POTS or if because I've simply gotten out of shape on my running somehow. Maybe doing both running and swimming is wearing me out. Still, I don't think I'm doing either running or swimming that much to get so worn down.
Surely that 75 butterfly set I did yesterday didn't take that much out of me! If so, I'm hurtin'!

I spent all day at school trying to import our school roster from classxp to the fitnessgram program. It wouldn't work! My principal, the tech guy, and the techiest teacher at my school couldn't figure it out either. What a waste of resources. I think I have finally figured the problem out. I will find out if I'm right monday morning. Anyway I didn't get anything measurable done today....I hate that!
I swam solo at LA Fitness today. The water was pleasantly cool and I had a lane to myself the whole workout.

Rambling Thoughts:
Like Geek, I had a lot of thoughts rambling through my head today whilst swimming:
1. How long can a person who likes aerobic work stay on the CDVB plan without going crazy?
2. Should I stick to my weights/plyo+sprint+hot yoga plan through NE Champs? Or wimp out and go back to my tried and true weights+heavy on the sprint swimming + cardio?
3. It may have been really dunce like to adopt this plan in the fall when the running weather is at it's best. It was gorgeous here today, and I was inside.
4. Plyo anecdote: Mini Fort (who has only been swimming 1-2 x week max) says her legs feel stronger, she's actually been kicking and her practice times aren't too bad. (She didn't kick much for the last 2 years b/c of bad knees/tendonitis.) She attributes this to volleyball. I was thinking about this and, as an outside hitter, she does a fair amount of jumping, which = plyo. She also mentioned that one of her friends dropped her 100 evil time from 1:10 to 1:05 last year while playing club volleyball 2x a week instead of doing excessive swimming. Food for thought.
5. Mini Fort was checking out my biceps last night and said I was more "jacked" than some boys on the freshman football team. So, good news, this means I can now beat up high school kids. Awhile ago, I asked on my blog how much/often I could lift without becoming too buff. Jazz said "find out." I may have reached my limit, it seems.
6. I'm pondering whether to swim the 50 back at the Nov. Open the weekend of Nov. 7-8. The meet is in the afternoon and features 50s for all us 13 & Over folks.
7. Still pondering the 30 day abstinence period for alcohol. If Geek does it, I'll be shamed into doing it. But I think he's still pondering too.
8. I need to look at last year's results from the NE SCM meet to figure out my seed times. I usually do this in an effort to stay out of lanes 1 & 8, and this often backfires. I seem to end up in those lanes in champ meets where women swim separately b/c the speedy 25 year olds grab the middle lanes. But I will nonetheless undertake what is apparently a largely futile effort. Or, I can pull a Stud and just seed myself faster than my actual times. :-P
9. I stepped on the scale today for the first time since my checkup in July. (No scale in the house.) I've gained couple pounds. Don't know whether this is due to the sleep med combo I'm on (both known to have weight gain as a side effect) or to being stronger/more muscle. Or it could just be random variation -- e.g., weighing in the am vs. pm. I may have to go on a diet like Bobinator. Of course, cutting alcohol would probably do the trick. But, despite this, I have made progress in the ass department, and I think Q could bounce a quarter off it.
10. No #10. I feel no need to have a round number of thoughts.
11. Forgot one. I am thinking of ignoring Maglischio and only taking 1 breath in the 50 free on Sunday. I guess the best place would be after the flags off the turn?
Thrive Longer, Lift Weights:
Here's an article from the Washington Post that supports the fact that weight lifting is an affirmatively good thing.
I should have focused more on this issue while writing my little point-counterpoint with Jimby!

Today is one of the last fair weather days we Pittsburghers are likely to see till June.
Since I live in a sort of woodsy setting, with only one neighbor nearby, and that nearby neighbor apparently out for the day, I took the opportunity to subject my lesion to a new self-help cure attempt.
Before describing this one-two-three therapy I am attempting, let me briefly describe the theoretical basis for this intervention.
A one-time frequent poster to these forums, the Mayo Clinic's very own Dr. Tom Jaeger, AKA, Jaegermeister, opined to me through a private message (which I had earnestly and somewhat shamelessly solicted) that:
A) my pictures of the lesion made him chuckle (what an enormous relief! I know Tom to be the most honorable of all doctors, and surely chuckling at a patient's terminal condition is something he would never, ever do on purpose; thus, from his reaction, I intuited the likelihood that I will live) B) that he could not diagnose the condition long-distance, but judging from appearances, he had a "hunch" it was fungal (you will recall that our favorite beloved fake doctor, that is to say, me, came to the very same conclusion last week)Armed thusly with this new insight from Minnesota, and inspired by the virtually unheard of appearance of the sun in our parts, I began Sherlocke Holmsing some possibilities.
Ille: Fungus. Hmm. What do we know about fungus?
Hic: Well, a mushroom is a fungus.
Ille: Yes, yes. It is, isn't it? And where do mushrooms prosper?
Hic: I am fairly certain that mushrooms, like vicious gossip about the size of Jim Thornton's manhood, prosper in the dark.
Ille: Yes, the dark! And what else?
Hic: Mushrooms like moisture, as well. Dark, moist, dare I say dank chambers! Like a basement in the Delta Delta Delta sorority house.
Ille: Yes, they do like such places. Again, the same venue as where vicious gossip prospers, too. So, what do you think we should do about making the mushrooms in Jim's lesion uncomfortable?
Hic: That is elementary, my dear Ille! Sunburn and dessication therapy!
Ille: Exactement!
Today's picture reveals the lesion after:
10 minutes of full sunbathing on the front porcha shower with Ivory soap15 minutes of high speed fan blown directly upon the lesioncotton balls to soak up the epithelial moisture
After the above therapy, I quickly photographed the lesion for today's visual progress report then anointed the area with the second thin layer of antibiotic cream, packed wound with further layers of cotton balls and toilet paper, put on clean underwear to hold the packing in place, and began writing the vlog.
Life, however, does not stop for a vloggist, but rather continues to crank out new elements to examine and suffer or be delighted by.
As Epictetus himself so nicely put it:
Time is a river, and a violent stream, and as soon as a thing is seen, another takes its place, and this too will be carried away. One of each of these species of distraction accosted me as I was preparing to upload today's picture.
On the delightful side, the phone rang, and after a number of cautious inquiries by a female voice on the other hand, it was determined that I am me, at which point the lovely Anna Lea Matysek announced her own identity.
She was calling to tell me that she is an expert on Stevens-Johnson Syndrome, and that I am not a victim of it. Tragically, her father died from the condition a decade ago, most likely the result of taking and developing an allergic reaction to the sulfa drug Bactrim. He might have avoided the condition altogether except that his immune system was already compromised by chemo therapy for non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma.
I asked Anna Lea if it was possible that I had Johnson's-Steven Syndrome instead of Steven's Johnson Syndrome, at which point her husband and (web) master, Jim Matysek, could be heard opining in the background that I definitely appear to have some sort of Johnson syndrome.
Perhaps not wishing to offend me, he quickly added, Maximus Johnson Syndrome, to which I had no choice but to come completely clean on such a front and add, "It is obvious he has never been in the basement of Delta Delta Delta."
On the suffering side, our phone conversation was suddenly interrupted by the leaf blowing, lawn mowing sounds of heavy machinery outside my lady-bug-encrusted windows.
The lawn guy had arrived with his arsenal of plant torturing devices.
I realized that our beloved Linus, the family guinea pig, whom we will only eat in the absolutely most dire of protein-deficient circumstances , if even then, we love him so much, was outside grazing on the hydrangea and enjoying the freedom that comes from being a guinea pig owned by benevolent owners.
Our two pugs, Lefty and Biscuit, were out guarding him from hawks. (We are pretty sure that Linus, who cannot see himself in a mirror, and thus has no idea what he looks like, has come to the conclusion that he is a pug. The three of them get along quite well and I am sure Lefty and Biscuit have no designs on making him into a meal, either.)
Dragging Anna Lea via portable phone out into the cacophony of the afternoon, I ran up to the lawn guy and told him to not harvest Linus by mistake with his leaf blower.
I wasn't able to find Linus--he may have taken refuge in a burrow. But I suspect he will come back home when it's time for his nightly carrot.
Okay, now, what I suspect you have all been waiting for: today's lesion update picture.
Maybe I am deluding myself, but it does look to this fake doctor's eye that a wee, wee, wee bit of improvement is now discernible in the flayed skin.
Or maybe it's just true that, with the exception of mushrooms, pretty much everything looks better with a tan.
The pool has been getting warmer each day this week. I'd bet it was near 88° this morning.

Thanks in large part to the fact that he'd barely sniffed a batter's box in the big leagues despite having exhausted his rookie status, Ivan set career bests in pretty much every single category except for steals in 2015.

Maritime academy cadets at Texas A&M train on Rose Point ECS following a donation by Rose Point Navigation Systems.
Maritime academy cadets at Texas A&M University at Galveston are now training on state-of-the-art electronic charting system software. Equipped with Rose Point ECS +Inland software, the academy can now prepare students to use the latest technology and ultimately improve maritime safety as these cadets graduate to shipboard jobs.
"Rose Point ECS combines all the elements of electronic navigation, such as GPS, AIS targets and Radar into a single screen, making it easy for students to get a good grasp of situational awareness," said Captain Jim Coonrod, academy instructor and recently retired Galveston – Texas City pilot. Captain Coonrod said students will likely use Rose Point's route planning tools in their first positions aboard ships.
The Rose Point ECS voyage recording feature, often used in the field to take the guesswork out of casualty investigations, is a valuable training tool at the academy as well. Using actual recorded voyages, Captain Coonrod said, "I can point out to my students the very real dangers facing each ship as they proceed in and out of the channel. While I could make up a scenario that might try to illustrate some of these things, a real recorded voyage carries impact that a simulation would not."
Students can now work with up-to-date NOAA vector and raster charts for all U.S. waters as well as Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) inland river charts. Texas A&M cadets will train with the benefit of advanced AIS filtering and data integration features such as weather, tides and current, satellite and USACE overlays.
"With ever increasing funding cutbacks at the federal and state level, it's harder and harder for the educational system to buy cutting edge stuff like this," said Coonrod. "Thanks to the generosity of Rose Point we're better able to address present day needs, rather than training students on yesterday's tools. This is the kind of stuff students will actually see when they get into the trade."
Rose Point Navigation Systems donated six installations of its ECS +Inland software to the Texas Maritime Academy at Texas A&M University at Galveston with a retail value of nearly $16,000.
