Praying for safety for you Jan, and this immense area threatened by wildfires. Praying the firefighting crews are safe and can get this catastrophe under control.
Re: LUNA-TICS TEAM ROOM: Year-round "Looney" fun.
Be safe Kona, sending positive thoughts your way.
Welcome to the team Tatsiana I think you will enjoy our virtual team.

K2,
Stay safe. I remember well the Florida fires of 98 so I know you won't relax until they are 100% contained. YOu and your state are hereby added to the prayer list.

Thanks for your thoughts. I think it is going to take a long time to get the wildfire contained. As of this AM, it has jumped up to about 40,000 acres. Definitely an orange sun ....
Welcome aboard to Tatsiana! Also, welcome aboard to Jodie J ! Glad you decided to join our crew! Our journeys are long, and always made better with good company. Here's wishing you many great rowing sessions!

Re: LUNA-TICS TEAM ROOM: Year-round "Looney" fun.
K2 Sorry to hear about the fires in your area. If I could send you some of our rain, I would! It's humid and stifling here in Southeast Georgia. We've had a lot of thunder storms roll through. Last week we had a tree break in half down by our pond and it took out the bridge I had made to cross the shallows where it exits into a larger pond downstream. It couldn't have hit it more dead center!
Welcome to the new members, and another Jodie (even if the spelling isn't the same) is always welcome.
As far as rowing goes, I've been mixing it up a bit more with weight lifting, running and aerobics. So my rowing numbers have suffered. But I'm trying to keep from getting burned out and have a more balanced workout routine. But I still love the forum and check back every now and then to see what you guys are up to. Welcome to the new members, and another Jodie (even if the spelling isn't the same) is always welcome.

View of the High Park fire from the CSU campus (provided by 9 News).
If I lived in Arizona, I'd say the skies looked much like a bad duststorm. Can't see the mountain ranges, and air quality is very poor. Reports are that the fire has a 5 percent containment at this time, and hopes for 10 percent containment exist for later today. Amazing work by the firefighters!
Good to hear from you, Jodi - although that tree photo looks like a yikes moment! Also, "way to row on the water" shoutout to Dennis, first to put some on the water meters into the mix (others may be doing some on the water rowing also, but wish to keep it a separate activity).

Another episode...
Rich M has been throwing out Fibonacci series numbers for his rowing meters quite frequently. And now Jane is throwing down some 12358 m sequences, too. WIth all this Fibonacci-ing going on, decided it was meant that the bunny trail should head down the Fibonacci pathway. And Fibonacci's discovery of the numeric sequences and patterns all started with rabbits - as some of you already know. Seems that Italian mathematician Fibonacci asked a question: If a pair of rabbits is placed in an enclosed area, how many rabbits will be born there if we assume that every month a pair of rabbits produces another pair, and that rabbits begin to bear young two months after their birth? Now I did NOT know that rabbits began to produce other rabbits within TWO months of age. This explains a LOT about the rabbit population under my deck. Whoa.
One presumes that after a year of counting rabbits (must have been a really BIG enclosed area), Fibonacci discovered that there was a specific numeric sequence that was found in nature, and this sequence also translates to art, spirals, trees and leaves. You can find the Fibonacci sequence in the opposing spiral patterns visible in the sunflower and pine cone, and in the expanding coil of the nautilus shell. Is it a magic equation for the galaxy? In The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, a super computer determines that the meaning of life is all about the number 42. I'm sure more research is necessary...

All In A Day's ERG: Team Progress Thru 6.12.12
Rats and double rats. Concept2 forum web site is testing me today. Aaaaargh.
Summmmmrrrr…time for Cbreeze!
A week ago Concept2 announced its newest challenge: Rowlympics and PaRowlympics Challenge. You may recall that this astrogator was delighted to read about it. Curiosity about how Concept2 became involved with the design and manufacture of adaptive rowing equipment prompted an email to Concept2, and I received an answer from customer service agent, Mark McAndrew. “Our mission statement states that we want to make rowing available to as many folks as possible. If we can create some software that makes the monitor information audible for those with visual impairment or blindness (Erg Buddy), then we are realizing our mission statement. I think when rowing officially became a Paralympics sport in 2008 it sparked an awareness here at C2 that we had a need beyond recognition to this community of athletes and exercisers that were interested in using our equipment. A number of third party companies have since developed adaptations to our indoor rower that render it more accessible.”
So the bottom line is that the driving force for Concept2's journey into adaptive rowing was the inclusion of rowing in Paralympics competition. But what did it take to get rowing into Paralympics? These things don’t just “happen.” I didn’t know the history of adaptive rowing, and although I suspect Brotherjim has shared some stories about the history with us, I think it’s important to know where we come from and how we get from place to place…so apologies if this is a rerun for some. My initial search for information led to the USRowing.org website (and I hope they are ok with some reprints from their site).
The following is an excerpt from the second edition of Rowing Faster (Human Kinetics, 2011), edited by Volker Nolte. This excerpt comes from Chapter 15, “Special Considerations for Adaptive Rowing,” written by Karen M. Lewis.
“History of Adaptive Rowing
Philadelphia was one of the birthplaces of adaptive rowing when veterans blinded in World War II competed in an Army-versus-Navy race. Over subsequent years, efforts were made to continue rowing programs for athletes with disabilities. For example, Ted Nash, an Olympic rower and coach for the University of Pennsylvania and Penn AC, worked to bring rowing to people with visual impairments. In 1980, Chris Blackwall, the executive director of USRowing, started the first U.S. rowing club solely for people with disabilities, the Philadelphia Rowing Program for the Disabled (PRPD). Other programs were starting up all over the world, and in 1993, adaptive rowing was included for the first time as an exhibition event at the FISA World Rowing Junior Championships in Finland and then again in 1999 at the World Rowing Championships in St. Catharines, Ontario.
In 2002, the FISA world championships began to include adaptive rowing in the regular program. The sport gained momentum in 2005, when the International Paralympic Committee (IPC) voted to include adaptive rowing in the 2008 Beijing Paralympic Games. Achieving this major milestone spurred the growth of adaptive rowing worldwide. There are now 26 countries competing at the international level, which is an impressive increase from 2002 when only seven countries participated. As the number of programs worldwide increased, so did the level of competition.”
K Lewis, who went on to be the US Adaptive Team coach, also writes about the challenges she faced when first working with adaptive rowers:
“When one is new to the world of disabled sport, terminology is one of the first hurdles. It can feel awkward to say “Drive with your legs!” when someone only has one leg. Rowers who are visually impaired will not benefit from the same demonstrative gesturing many coaches use, and a coach needs to develop new ways to verbally illustrate the stroke. When working with athletes with disabilities, everyone becomes more aware of the abilities that we take for granted and the challenges that these rowers deal with on a daily basis. But, people are people and adaptive rowers are quick to show that disability or not, we all share a common love for the sport. After that realization, it is easier to focus on bladework and rowing technique and not on a person’s disability.”
We learn a lot from each other…makes us better people I think. Everyone has stories to tell.
Meanwhile, the half moons are flying high on the east coast of the US. We have a half moon over Florida, two over Massachusetts, and another over Vermont. Must be something in the air…

Thank you for the information on adaptive rowing, I think it's interesting to see what Concept 2 has going in different areas.
Ron, wishing you the best of luck, good times (and weather) for this weekend.

All In A Day's ERG: Team Progress Thru 6.13.12
I know Rosi thinks that watching baseball is like watching sand dry on the beach, but sometimes baseball history happens and we just HAVE to talk about it. Matt Cain, SF Giants, pitched a perfect game last night against the Astros. That's 27 batters up, and 27 batters down...no walks, no hits, no one on base...at all. I think only 22 or 23 pitchers in the history of baseball have been able to do that. I'll bet Robyn was cheering for her team! Woohoo for the San Francisco Giants!
Season meters as of 45/365 = 21,932,913 m
