Rowing is a sport in which athletes race against each other over bodies of water. The boats are propelled by the athletes levering the boat through the water with oars. The sport can be either recreational or competitive. In the United States and Canada, high school and collegiate rowing is sometimes called crew. Whilst rowing, the athlete sits in the boat facing backwards (towards the stern), and uses the oars which are attached to the boat at the oarlocks to propel the boat forward (towards the bow). This may be done on a river, lake, sea, or other large body of water. It is a demanding sport requiring balance as well as physical strength and cardiovascular endurance. Whilst the action of rowing...
In watercraft, a racing shell (also referred to as just a fine boat(UK) or just shell) is an extremely narrow, and often disproportionately long, rowing boat specifically designed for racing or exercise. It is outfitted with long oars, outriggers to hold the oarlocks away for the boat, and sliding seats. The boat's long length and semicircular cross-section reduce drag to a minimum. This makes the boat both fast and unstable. It must be actively balanced by the rowers to avoid tipping. Being able to balance, or "set" the boat while putting maximum effort into the oars is therefore an essential skill of rowing. History The racing shell evolved from the simple working rowboat. Boats with longer...
Rowing oars
Oars are used to propel the boat. They are long (250–300 cm) poles with one flat end about 50 cm long and 25 cm wide, called the blade. An oar is often referred to as a "blade" in the case of sweep oar rowing and as a "scull" in the case of sculling. A sculling oar is shorter and has a smaller blade area than the equivalent sweep oar. Classic oars were made out of wood, but modern oars are made from synthetic material, the most common being carbon fiber. The most common makes are Concept2, Croker, and Dreher. In sport rowing, oars are used to propel the boat. Sculling oars are around 284cm - 290cm in length and rowing oars 370cm - 376cm long. The shaft of the oar ends with one flat end about...
Rowing competitions
Rowers may take part in the sport for their leisure or they may row competitively. There are different types of competition in the sport of rowing. In the U.S. all types of races are referred to as "regattas" whereas this term is only used in the UK for head-to-head races which take place in the summer season. Time trials occur in the UK during the winter, and are referred to as Head races. Rowing is unusual in the demands it places on competitors. The standard world championship race distance of 2,000 metres is long enough to have a large endurance element, but short enough (typically 5.5 to 7.5 minutes) to feel like a sprint. This means that rowers have some of the highest power outputs of...

The ULTIMATE Bait Guide
After location bait and it's correct presentation is the most important factor governing success or failure. No matter how expensive your tackle is, if the fish won't bite you go home empty. Freshwater fish can go several months without eating, most marine fish can not, indeed many marine fish will die if not fed several times a day( a big problem for aquarists rather than anglers). Fish will eat a wide range of prey as cutting open the stomach will show but these are not always the best baits to use. Remember your bait is not the only piece of food in the water, the secret of angling is to make the fish ignore everything else and take your bait instead.Fish are not stupid, they want as much food as...

The Schipperke: The Barge Guardian
The Schipperke is a Belgian breed, bred down from the Belgian Sheepdog. Both of these dogs descended from a very old breed called the Leauvenaar, which herded sheep in the region of Louvain. The Schipperke has the stand off coat of a northern Spitz type, however this is the only resemblance, there is no indication that there is any intermixing of this type in the genetic origins of the little dog. The coat does well with a regular brushing and an occasional bath during the shedding season. The A.K.C. requires a definite pattern of growth which is part of the standard of the breed, involving a "cape" around the neck, and a "ruff" on the chest, consisting of various lengths of the hair, this is a...

Like most of us, Rosa Parks did not see herself as a revolutionary. Yes, she was involved in the local chapter of the N.A.A.C.P. in 1955, and thus she was involved in the civil rights movement. But she was primarily a wife and a seamstress, living in the segregated society of 1950s Montgomery, Alabama. And one day she decided to do something different. Making the changes we want in our lives, in our relationships, always begins by simply doing something different. This reflects an awareness that all behavior comes...
