| Rowing video quality by RTT - Sun 14th Mar 2010, 10:56pm | |
| I suspect this issue has been tackled by many of us before, so I was hoping to gather suggestions and information into one place. The problem is simple to frame: What is the best and most practical way to take, process and display video of people rowing, assuming the camera is being used on a bike? I know that using a tandem can have very positive effects on the raw video, but even then there is lots of shaking involved. How can this be reduced at time of capture? What tools do you / have you used to process the footage? What file types lend themselves best to storing and playing footage of rowing? Please fire away with suggestions / further questions etc. and hopefully we'll gather a bit of a guide for anyone trying to video rowing in future. (4 replies...) | |

| Pedro at sea by Emma - Sun 17th Jan 2010, 9:52am | |
| Hi all, For anyone who would like to follow Pedro's progress in his Atlantic crossing, the website is www.onemillionstrokes.org.uk. After five days at sea the crew are coping well and making good progress of 60-70nm a day. The daily blog is updated usually around 7pm - although unfortunately for avid blob-watchers the satellite tracker only updates sporadically about twice a day. Any messages left on the site will be relayed to the team and are really appreciated by the guys. Cheers, Emma (2 replies...) | |

| Atlantic row by Pedro - Sat 15th Aug 2009, 6:48pm | |
| In January 2010 I'm going to follow in Dan and Rich's 'footsteps' and row across the Atlantic. I've set up a website called One Million Strokes (it's just over 3000 miles!) at www.onemillionstrokes.org.uk , it's still a work in progress. Take a look if you have a minute. Thanks! | |

| Rowing aid on BBC's Dragon's Den by Mark - Wed 29th Jul 2009, 8:42pm | |
| An interesting GCSE D&T concept from a student and rower on Dragon's Den tonight: Two plastic/rubber blocks that surround the handle, one for each hand, that prevent wear to the hands and blister formation "without interfering with rowing technique". Will post a BBC iPlayer link when available. (2 replies...) | |

| Alastair Hignell by Simon - Sun 14th Dec 2008, 10:46pm | |
| Alastair Hignell was featured in Sports Personality of the Year this evening. For those who don't know, he was an excellent rugby commentator on FiveLive who retired this year. He has degenerative MS, and broadcast with it for eight years, without the illness being widely known by the general public. Anyway, they said on the show that he was the last person to captain both CUCC and CURFC. He still holds the Cambridge points record for a Varsity rugby march. He has scored a try for England and a century against the West Indies (the latter for his county side). Astonishing. PS Anyone want to write a "best radio commentator" poll? | |

| Pembroke's Boat Burning by JDT - Sun 15th Jun 2008, 7:45pm | |
| Okay, so whatever happened to the Pembroke boat burning? This is a tale to make us all realise how great Charles is. To re-cap, a boat burning organised by Charles goes as follows: Boat is taken to Backs; Boat is Burned; ????; Profit. How the boat burning went for Pembroke: > Boat was thrown into the river to get it to the other side by swimming along with it. > Boat then carried to Pembroke > Boat then covered in Petrol (yes, Petrol) > Boat then lit with a lighter (yes, a lighter) by the W1 cox. > Boat explodes with a bang; cox gets badly burned; rower gets injured; everyone else falls over. > PCBC Dinner is a little bit unhappy.

| Dengue fever in Cambridge? by S.L. Stoneman - Sat 29th Dec 2007, 7:53pm | |
| Found on Wikipedia when trying to research dengue fever. I can think of several ways to describe East Anglia but "developed, tropical nation?" Don't think so One major difference, however, is that malaria is often eradicated in major cities, whereas dengue is often found in urban areas of developed tropical nations, including Singapore, Taiwan, Brazil & East Anglia | |

| SCUBA divers cannot pass wind... by Simon - Tue 23rd Oct 2007, 3:18pm | |
| SCUBA divers cannot pass wind at depths of 33 feet or below Someone just told me this but I am struggling to believe it. Can anyone tell me whether it's a fact or fiction, and provide supporting evidence? If it helps, at 33feet the water pressure is equal to 1 atmosphere. (4 replies...) | |
