Carrie Katai with the Artist Gene Sander.
"I used the cast texture as my starting point. I considered the overall surface quality and created a painterly drawing emphasizing the bust's sculptural elegance. I included black outlines, dashes of color and hence the heart inside to acknowledge the human side of this project."
• Age 23 discovered BRCA1 gene mutation
• Never had breast cancer
• Had Prophylactic Mastectomy with reconstruction
• My mom had breast cancer three times and ovarian cancer.
"My mom will always be my hero. She went through so much, yet never let it stop her zest for life. Thinking of her gives me strength. Knowledge is power and I am grateful to have this information and the choice to be proactive. I am stronger than I give myself credit for. "
"It was important to me that the torso of Kiersten Kern be surrounded with lightness, purity and softness. I crocheted the piece with a yarn that I felt would best reflect these ideas. The pieces of yarn flowing off of the torso are metaphorical for the many ways each of our lives spread out to touch and influence each other."
• Age 37 when diagnosed positive for BRCA1
• Had Invasive Ductal Carcinoma at age 37
• Lumpectomy, Bi-lateral mastectomy with expanders placed, hysterectomy and implant exchange
• None of my relatives had breast or ovarian cancer, to my knowledge
• My mother is BRCA 1- she found out after my diagnosis.
"I will live my life with no regrets. I will look forward to the future, and not dwell on the past. Finding out about the gene after the cancer diagnosis allowed me to have a reason for the cancer. I no longer had to wonder if I caused it. Knowing my gene status gave me some control over my situation. I made the decision to remove my breasts, my ovaries and my uterus to decrease the likelihood of getting cancer again. After going through breast cancer, chemo, and multiple surgeries, I learned not to sweat the small stuff and that whatever I was going through, there was someone who was unfortunately worse. Without my family, I never could have kept a positive attitude. You really learn who loves you and who your friends are."
"Cancer has the power to invade, hide and destroy. I used images of green aeoniums and their rosettes of foliage with complementary purple cellular images of BRCA cancer cells on the back to express the importance of awareness. What can appear to be beautifully growing and normal on the outside isn't always what is happening on the inside."

Lisa Edwards
• Age 29 discovered BRCA2 gene mutation
• Never had breast cancer
• Maternal grandmother, two aunts and mother had breast cancer
• Prophylactic Bilateral Mastectomy and Oopherectomy
"I am strong! I learned that I am a lot braver than I thought and that I was willing to do whatever it took to ensure a better life for myself and my daughters! I am proud of my ability to face the obstacles and come out better than I was. I am a phoenix!"
Megan Edwards
• Not yet tested for a gene mutation
• Maternal great-grandmother, two great aunts and my grandmother had breast cancer
• My mother has a BRCA2 mutation
"I think Mommy's surgeries was a good idea to not get cancer."

Rachel Householder
• Age 29 discovered BRCA1 gene mutation
• Never had breast cancer
• Had prophylactic mastectomy with GAP FLAP reconstruction
• My mom, two aunts and two sisters have all had breast cancer.
"I am lucky to have been given a crystal ball; that gift of knowing at an early age. I am no longer a time bomb waiting to go off... I will be around for my future and my family. My scars have faded but the pain of losing my sister does not. I know for sure that all of the discomfort I have experienced is a tiny price to pay to ensure that my future is healthy."
Kira Householder
• I don't know if I have a gene mutation
• My grandmother, Bebe, has had breast cancer three times, my aunt had it and my other aunt died of breast cancer when I was 3.
"I am independent. I know I am definitely at risk. I love my mom because she is brave and if anything ever happens I'll still have her. Because we have breast cancer in my family, that puts me at higher risk but I will know how to handle it. I have my family to support me."
"My torso next to my daughter's emphasizes her delicate youth and hopeful future. I looked at myself from the outside to notice the asymmetry of my reconstructed breasts. The mighty tree trunk is symbolic of my strength and stability as a protective mother. My long branches reach out and support my daughter's small limbs. The Sweetgum tree fruit falls from the branches and are reminiscent of those that littered my front yard in my east coast childhood. These spiky fruit are beautifully complex. They look prickly and foreboding but pass on important genetic material to grow a new life."
Rosalie with her Hope Chest
"I Love Rosalie Kern"
"I began on the inside, because the inside is what really matters. As I talked and painted, I started to feel that I knew Rosalie, and after a while I began to love her. The more I painted, the stronger my feelings grew, the stronger I felt the connection between what I was painting and my own self, my own mother, my love, my family, my experience of life and death."
Age 57 when diagnosed positive for BRCA1
• Never had breast cancer.
• My daughter, Kiersten has breast cancer.
• After research, we found out that my Grandmother and her 5 sisters in Italy had breast cancer.
"I never thought my daughter would be the one with Cancer. Knowing about this gene has made me realize how precious knowledge is and by using this knowledge, we can empower the choices we make in our life. How we must strive daily to take care of ourselves and never take our loved ones for granted because you never know what lies in your future.
"I respect the person who belongs to this bust. I want to honor that woman who was brave enough to have it made from her body. The fragility and delicate quality of this bust was retained by keeping the front unpainted. I didn't want the color, character, sensual feel of the plaster to disappear. I used gold leaf because it's very precious and gold is considered to have significant worth. Gilding the inside made sense because it is who we are inside that is where our real worth is. The eye-catching sparkles on the outside make the outside attractive."
• Age 40 when discovered BRCA1 mutation
• I never had cancer and had a prophylactic mastectomy
• My oldest sister had breast cancer, then my other sister and then my niece was diagnosed. Several aunts were also diagnosed with breast cancer.
"I am a strong person. I decided to go through the preventative surgery for my family and myself. I made the decision because I have two daughters. My hope is to help them in making the best decisions for themselves if they ever have to go through the same thing my sisters, niece and I did."
Tania Katan
• Age 31 when diagnosed positive for BRCA1
• Had breast cancer twice at ages 21 and 31
• Had a double mastectomy and an oophorectomy
• My aunt also had breast or ovarian cancer
• My sister has the same genetic mutation
"There are things that I know for sure, and one of them is…dogs, no matter how cute they are, can attack. How has my life changed from the experience of having the gene? Buy the book…"
Kate Timmerman
"Having read Tania's book, 'My One Night Stand with Cancer' and attending her performances, I was honored to adorn the cast of her torso. I adapted a blue Delft pottery pattern because it evoked a feeling of strong energy. The irregular and hand-painted quality of the pattern on the ceramic piece I used for inspiration, reminded me of the unique experience each breast cancer survivor claims. Near the end of the process, the painted piece began to resemble a shield. I realized the strong feminine energy of the pattern when enlarged did resemble a shield for a warrior."
"I had a reverence for the form of this person I had never met. It already contained the idea, along with the intimacy, from the act of casting. I left the bust in a very raw state because I wanted the connection to the subject to remain as direct as possible. I often portray animals in my work so I researched historic and folkloric associations for different animals. I selected a cat and a toad for the positive associations they portray."
• Age 29 when discovered BRCA2 gene mutation
• Never had cancer. No surgeries so far.
• My mother has had breast cancer, two of my aunts
had breast and ovarian cancer.
"I have learned that knowledge can bring fear, but ultimately it can bring empowerment. Because of my mother's experiences, I always feared that cancer might strike me someday. Getting tested for the mutation confirmed my fears about my high chances of getting cancer. It has also given me the knowledge that I need to take action to protect myself. I am now in touch with a huge amount of resources and support from people that understand exactly what I'm going through."
"This cast held much physical presence and consequently I wondered about her, as I painted. What I would do if I were in her body? Empathy is one of those things that you really only imagine. I felt sadness but also courage. Technology can provide us with all sorts of information, but it doesn't make anything easier. Do I want to know? Do you want to know? Did she? Think about it… Feel it…. It's important. In the end, I was left with this transformed object; the painted body cast. I was left with emotions and thoughts. I was also left with more awareness. I hope as a viewer you are too."
• Age 27 discovered BRCA1 gene mutation
• Age 27 had triple negative carcinoma
• Had a double mastectomy with DIEP flap and hysterectomy
• My mom and her sister had cancer
"Life is a gift and should not be taken for granted. Working through emotions is tough but manageable. My life is different than before cancer but I'm here and alive and grateful every day that I have with my family."
The Ties That Bind
"Upon seeing Jennifer's cast bust, my first thought was a corset with its feminine shape echoing the human presence…a thing of beauty. I felt a strong responsibility to retain the shape of her body paying special attention to keep her bellybutton as a unifying feature tying us to our past. The Ties That Bind refers to our connection to our heritage, our families and our DNA. As with a corset or an umbilical cord these ties can provide entrapment, constriction or support, nourishment and comfort. Most likely it is all of these."
• Age 32 discovered my BRCA2 mutation
• Age 32 had Breast Cancer in 2008, 2010 & now 2011
• Had a bilateral mastectomy & ovaries & fallopian tubes removed
• My Mom had breast cancer
"There are things I know for sure, and one of them is having cancer is a blessing in disguise. It made me change my life and realize that I needed to treat my body as the temple that God intended. It has also given me the opportunity to take my experiences and knowledge to help others. I tell my story to everyone I meet."
Phoenix Outreach celebrates National HBOC Week with The Hope Chest Art Exhibit
In celebration of HBOC Week, Hope Chest, a collaborative traveling sculpture exhibit about hope and the stories of genetic cancers opened the Virginia G. Piper Cancer Center with a special reception.
The Hope Chest exhibit displayed bust sculptures made by Rachel Householder and hand painted by local artists. Each bust shares the model's story and is evidence that even with a cancer or previvor diagnosis, there is still a feeling of beauty, both inside and out.

The Penguin & The Coroner
De Shane Deruise
Two souls brought together by fate on the ice flows of Greenland, a penguin, and a coroner. The oddest of couples carrying with them scars from the past, but also a flame of love, that may burn them alive.
Acerca del autor
Shane Deruise (The Artist as Words)
I used to take photographs about my environment, objects, myself, and friends. Those images never felt close to me, though, there is a strange thing about being shunned, and misunderstood… never feeling at home. After searching for many years, and losing a lot of what I lived for, I realized what I want my work to encompass. Now I take pictures of gender, the human condition, and trauma.
The human condition is growth and decay. I am searching out beauty within the grotesque. We are not all the same, people's physicality has inspired me to confront the everyday sense of normalcy and decency. If intimacy wasn't such a confining word… for me it may be represented as substance; emotional, sexual, and hideous.

July 31, 2014
Washington Redskins coach Mike Shanahan says Robert Griffin III has a Grade 1 sprain of a ligament in the right knee and possibly could play in next week's game against the Cleveland Browns.
Shanahan said Monday that Griffin sprained the lateral collateral ligament on the outside of the knee when the rookie was hit at the end of a scramble late in regulation in the Redskins' 31-28 overtime win over the Baltimore Ravens.
Shanahan says Griffin has mild swelling and is receiving treatment multiple times a day.
Fellow rookie Kirk Cousins will start if Griffin can't. Cousins threw the game-tying touchdown pass Sunday after Griffin was hurt.
The Redskins are 7-6 and have won four straight. They trail the New York Giants by one game in the NFC East.

Lockport Union-Sun & Journal — The city will commission the design of several construction projects meant to improve energy efficiency in municipal facilities.
The Common Council this week approved "phase two" of an ongoing study agreement with New York Power Authority, which will pay the upfront costs of energy upgrade work and let the city pay it back over a 10-or-more-year period using cash saved on its monthly utility bills.
The city has been working with NYPA for over a year on an energy audit and feasibility study of suggested capital improvements that would boost energy efficiency at City Hall and other municipal facilities.
NYPA paid for the feasibility study, which cost $9,000, and will pay about $17,000 for construction design, on a conditional basis. According to Norman Allen, director of engineering and public works, if the city declines to implement recommended improvements it'll have to pay back NYPA for those outlays.
NYPA will have recommended projects designed, including upgrade of all light fixtures in all city buildings, replacement of a boiler at City Hall and upgrading insulation in some buildings, and will put the work out to bid using its stable of contractors.
If the Council approves actual construction, NYPA would pay for that too. The expectation is that the work will reduce the city's electric consumption and its monthly bills.
A set percentage of whatever money the city saves after construction, it would pledge to turn over to NYPA until the work is paid for, according to Council finance committee chairman Ken Genewick, 5th Ward alderman.

Environmentalism in America
Explores what has happened to the environment and environmentalism in America since the first Earth Day in 1970. Considerable time is spent on proposals for a revamped or even new American environmentalism. Using scenario analysis, the course looks ahead at what the future might hold and what accounts for different possible outcomes.
New Frontiers in Environmental Policies
Explores the proposition that successfully coping with today's environmental threats requires deeper challenges to our prevailing system of political economy than mainstream environmentalism in the United States has been willing to mount. The course develops the idea that a new American environmentalism is needed and with it new environmental policy and law that go beyond the traditional realm of environmental affairs.

Authorities locked down the Montandon Elementary School for more than an hour Wednesday after they received a call from a woman who claimed a man had entered her bedroom and tried to rape her.
State police at Milton identified the man as Kenneth James Myers, 38, of Montandon. He was charged with criminal attempt rape, indecent assault, simple assault and harassment.
Police said he entered the woman's bedroom and tried to remove her jeans.
Myers and the woman fought, and after a struggle, the woman was able to break free and flee the home to call 911 at about 9:45 a.m., court documents said.
Myers also fled the scene and was in the area of the elementary school, which led police to lock the building while they searched for him.
Police used a helicopter in the search. Myers was spotted in a nearby field where he was arrested, police said.
Police said they closed the school as a precaution. There was no indication that Myers was going there, they said.
The school was back to normal operations within two hours, police said.

Homemade Scotch eggs are a world away from shop bought versions. They're worth the effort for a special picnic treat.
4 large free-range eggs
275g/10oz sausage meat
1 tsp fresh thyme leaves
1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
1 spring onion, very finely chopped
salt and freshly ground black pepper
125g/4oz plain flour, seasoned with salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 free-range egg, beaten
125g/4oz breadcrumbs
vegetable oil, for deep frying
Place the eggs, still in their shells, in a pan of cold salted water.
Place over a high heat and bring to the boil, then reduce the heat to simmer for exactly nine minutes.
Drain and cool the eggs under cold running water, then peel.
Mix the sausage meat with the thyme, parsley and spring onion in a bowl and season well with salt and freshly ground black pepper (Simon recommends being generous with the freshly ground black pepper).
Divide the sausage meat mixture into four and flatten each out on a clean surface into ovals about 12.5cm/5in long and 7.5cm/3in at its widest point.
Place the seasoned flour onto a plate, then dredge each boiled egg in the flour.
Place each onto a sausage meat oval, then wrap the sausage meat around each egg. Make sure the coating is smooth and completely covers each egg.
Dip each sausage meat-coated egg in the beaten egg, rolling to coat completely, then dip and roll into the breadcrumbs to completely cover.
Heat the oil in a deep heavy-bottomed pan, until a breadcrumb sizzles and turns brown when dropped into it. (CAUTION: hot oil can be dangerous. Do not leave unattended.)
Carefully place each scotch egg into the hot oil and deep-fry for 8-10 minutes, until golden and crisp and the sausage meat is completely cooked.
Carefully remove from the oil with a slotted spoon and drain on kitchen paper.
Serve cool.
Type the ingredients you want to use, then click Go. For better results you can use quotation marks around phrases (e.g. "chicken breast"). Alternatively you can search by chef, programme, cuisine, diet, or dish (e.g. Lasagne).

How about just plain better communication?
I have seen a number of these surveys that indicate that borrowers want more transparency. I understand the need to know information. The example I'm going to share is the real problem.
Myra contacted me this morning. She told me the following story. She has been doing her banking with Bank of America for many years and got a preapproval from them a few months ago.
She told me that she called the branch that she does her banking with and they gave her a phone number to call to get a pre-approval. The process took three and a half weeks. She then found a property, put a deposit down. She contacted the bank to do a mortgage application. Her contract said that she had 5 days to make a mortgage application. She called for three days and finally got a call back to set up a phone appointment to do the application. All was accomplished, but she didn't get her mortgage package for an additional 3 days.
She had to go back and get an extension for the application, but the seller wasn't willing to sign an extension, as there were two additional buyers, one of which was an all cash offer. The bottom line, Myra lost the home she wanted.
You can imagine Myra's frustration. Can you picture her completing this kind of survey?
I emailed her and her Realtor a new pre-approval, which took less than 60 minutes. She won't lose the next home she has on deposit.

By DAVID MAY
PEASTER – Parents Tobiah and Esther, along with their children, Livya and Avri, are about to celebrate a Passover feast the night before Jesus' crucifixion, about 33 A.D., when a group of strange-looking guests walk into their stone, first century dwelling.
The surprised family welcomes their visitors, asking where they come from, and where they obtained their odd clothing and footwear. They interact and talk to their guests, even wanting to wash their feet as is their custom, but they don't know how to remove their boots and tennis shoes.
The guests are from the year 2013, taken back in time nearly 20 centuries to observe and imagine the period when Jesus went to Jerusalem to turn himself in and share his Last Supper with his disciples before being led to the cross, where he would die, only to rise again.
The first century family are volunteer actors Matt, Robin and Rhema Maxwell, all from Noble, Okla., and Jordan Puckett, of Weatherford Acting Academy, and the scene is played out within the confines of Capernaum First Century Village, about 11 miles northwest of Weatherford, where for the next two weekends adaptations of the Passover and Easter stories will be played out for groups of visitors.
For Christians, Easter is the most important holiday and observance. Tammy Lane, of Tammy Lane Productions, who wrote the scripts and produces "The Passover Experience," said she wanted to show combine the Old Testament Passover story with the New Testament Easter story to show how the two are intertwined and how some of the old Jewish customs and traditions remain a part of Christian customs and observances today.
"What I would like for people to take away (from the performance) is that Easter started with the Passover, and there are so many things in the Passover that pertain to Easter, so I want people to see that because there is just so much involved in it," Lane said.

Football History
Pacific University hosts the University of Chicago in football for the first time on Oct. 26, 2013. There are a number of historic connections between the two schools, particularly in the Stagg family. Dr. Paul Stagg was head coach of the Pacific University Badgers in their heyday, and his father — the famous Amos Alonzo Stagg, long with the University of Chicago — played a role in his development as a coach and with Pacific football.Blake Timm '98 | Sports Information Director
As Pacific University searched for a new football coach in 1947, it is certain that the following letter of reference, now in the Pacific University Archives, quickly caught vice president Edwin T. Ingles' eye.
"I have not seen Paul for six years, but I have had a chance to know him well as a man because he was a part of our family for twenty five years," the letter began. "It has been my privilege to coach several thousand young men in athletics … I am happy to report that Paul measures high among them in point of character and manhood and dependability.
"He is a fine Christian gentleman and has no bad habits. He possesses good judgment, is capable and a hard worker. He is likable and possesses good leadership and is able to manage men.
"In my time I have written many hundreds of recommendations for young men. There has never been anyone that I could speak more confidently than I can about Paul."
Amos Alonzo Stagg
Within a matter of weeks, Amos' son, Dr. Paul Stagg, would arrive in Forest Grove to begin the greatest period in the history of Pacific football.
The Stagg name, of course, is well known in football circles and is especially revered at the Division III level. "The Grand Old Man Of Football" coached at the University of Chicago for 40 years, where he made the Maroons a national power. In the process, he created such innovations in the game as the man in motion and the lateral pass. The Division III championship game, held annually in Salem, Va., bears the Amos Alonzo Stagg name.
Both of the elder Stagg's sons, Amos Jr. and Paul, followed the family line on the gridiron. Paul was the starting quarterback at Chicago through some thin years that would mark the end of Amos' tenure, forced out by university president Robert Maynard Hutchins following the 1932 season.
When he came to Pacific University in 1947, Paul Stagg was already a well-known name in football and academic circles. Following his graduation from Chicago, Paul followed his father to the College of the Pacific in Stockton, Calif., serving as the freshman coach for one season. He went back east the following year, coaching football and serving as athletic director at Moravian College for the three years before moving on to Springfield College and eventually Worchester Tech, where he was again football coach and athletic director for six years.
When 1947 rolled around, Paul Stagg was looking for a new start. "Worchester Tech is a fine engineering college," he wrote in his application letter to Pacific, "but like most engineering schools, the athletic talent is poor and there is not time to develop it." In his six-year tenure, Worchester Tech went 6-23-2, a record highlighted only by a 13-0 win over Harvard in 1945. In his previous four years as Springfield (where Dr. James Naismith invented the game of basketball and Amos Alonzo Stagg scored the first ever basket in 1891), he amassed an 11-19-2 record.
He has received his doctorate in physical education from New York University that spring, and it is safe to say that he was looking to move west. His father had just been pushed away from Stockton and was assisting Amos Jr. at Susquehanna University in Pennsylvania, but the family still made the Sacramento Valley home. In a letter of interest sent to Pacific vice president Ingles from March 1947, Paul indicates that he had also applied for the same position at Willamette, but his applications was received two days after Jerry Lillie had been appointed to the post.

Pella — In an age of polarized viewpoints and extremist-driven agendas, a unique New York-based non-governmental organization, Intersections International, will promote mutual understanding and dialogue while in residence at Central College Oct. 28-31.
"Welcome the Stranger" is the theme for the week's activities, which include a dialogue between central Iowa military veterans and civilians, intended as a community-building and social healing exercise. The veteran-civilian program addresses the cost of conflict in society by providing tools for reconciliation and healing. All veterans and civilians from the community are welcome to participate in the conversation in the Sutphen Common Room in the Graham Annex on campus Tuesday, Oct. 29 at 7 p.m.
Intersections International programming covers a range of topics, including lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) issues, values-based leadership, global peacemaking initiatives and the role of the arts in change for social justice. Six members from the different programs will be visiting campus and hosting events, including Rev. Robert Chase, the founding director of Intersections International.
The group will also lead workshops, classroom presentations and a teach-in during the week. A public convocation October 31 at 11 a.m. in Douwstra Auditorium will be based on what the group learns during its visit and all in attendance are encouraged to be involved.
Intersections International works in communities of conflict by promoting peace through dialogue and uses direct service programs, advocacy, educational and informational outreach. It is a global initiative of the Collegiate Church of New York in New York City.
Chris Chartier, director of the Jasper County Office of Veterans Affairs, will participate in the veteran-civilian dialogue.
"What this forum provides is an open opportunity not for therapy, and not for politics, but an environment for people who are interested to sit down with veterans and address some of the questions or concerns they may have," Chartier said. "By opening a dialogue where neither party is the focus, everyone's attention can be focused on understanding differences, and hopefully creating a better community for all of our returning veterans."

Comments about Shimano Saint Chainring Bashguard:
This does not work with regular chain ring bolts. You need the special Saint bolts and I think they're pretty expensive, so look before you buy.
Best Uses
Comments about Shimano Saint Chainring Bashguard:
I had this up against 4 other bashguards. Some were nicer, some seemed stronger. But the Shimano won my test because of the slightly beveled chain-side which allows for more precise shifting on my Deore XT crankset - it basically allows for the front derailleur to flex the chain just enough to get it smoothly on the chain. The others were nearly flat up against the chain and were getting rubbed by the chain.
More on the design: It's thick but it is not a solid peice of plastic. If you were to see it from the back you would notice that it has a scaffold-like structure. In my opinion this was done to keep it light and yet give it the strength to take some abuse.
Comments about Shimano Saint Chainring Bashguard:
Strong and easy to install
Best Uses
Comments about Shimano Saint Chainring Bashguard:
I got this to go on a singlespeed conversion I was building from parts I had in the shop. It's light and cheap, but I didn't realize it needs special inserts to install. The bolt holes are larger than standard, so you can't use regular chainring bolts without hard to find large diameter spacers, or else you need the Saint bolt kit which includes them. The kit is more than the bashguard itself.
Best Uses
Comments about Shimano Saint Chainring Bashguard:
Seemed like a good fit for my saint crank but it requires special hardware. The hardware is twice the price of the plastic guard. So I would look for a real guard for less money and less the hassle of special hardware. Should make a good Frisbee
Comments about Shimano Saint Chainring Bashguard:
Beware that this is more of a chain guard and not really a bashguard. I bought this expecting an aluminum bash guard that would take a hit such as sliding over a downed tree, but this is a lightweight plastic cover.
This is probably fine for protecting your leg from the chain ring, but is not strong enough to replace your outer chain ring.
Comments about Shimano Saint Chainring Bashguard:
After my wife slipped a pedal and tore up the back of her leg on the big ring, I bought two of these. One for my wife and one for my oldest daughter. They have been working fine. You'll need to get some longer chainring bolts to mount it up, but what do expect for $10
Comments about Shimano Saint Chainring Bashguard:
Works great for its intended purposes, not as strong as some other bash guards, but a hell of alot lighter! Beware when buying, as you need either the saint chainring bolt kit or some 1mm chainring spacers as the mounting holes are the same diameter as the outer diameter of normal chainring bolts!

The ladies of the Living Word Church of God just spent an exciting weekend at their first Bible conference.
I just received news that my favorite uncle is close to passing away. He had cancer a few years ago that went into remission but recently it returned. The good news is that he has trusted Christ for forgiveness and has assurance of where he will end up after death.
One of the funniest lines I've ever read was in a newspaper in Las Vegas, Nevada, the day after the Southern Baptist Convention met there in the late 1980's. I know, who would have thought that Southern Baptists, of all people, would meet in Las Vegas. But we did, and evidently made an impression on a number of people. The writer simply stated, "Ten thousand Southern Baptists descended on Las Vegas earlier this week with a twenty dollar bill in one hand, and a copy of the Ten Commandments in the other. They didn't break either one ...
I remember being in church a number of years ago when my pastor was making closing announcements. The week had been designated "Home and Family Week," and family had been the sermon topic for the day.
Some today are making life's journey without Jesus. They have never realized how much He is needed in each and every person's life. Others believe that if one member of their family is religious then that is enough for the whole family. This simply is not true, for each person is accountable for themselves.
The old hymn opens with the verse "A charge to keep I have, a God to glorify, who gave His son my soul to save, and fit it for the sky."
"The aged women likewise, that they be in behavior as becometh holiness, not false accusers, not given to much wine, teachers of good things; That they may teach the young women to be sober, to love their husbands, to love their children, To be discreet, chaste, keepers at home, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed."

There can be no denying this one fact: I'm getting older. If the mirror doesn't remind me, there are always those feeble attempts at running. I feel like Fred Flinstone's car. In my mind things are moving, but I'm getting nowhere. There was the time when I could run all day long, barely breathing hard. But that day is long gone.
Man, it seems, has always had questions about something since the beginning of time. Some have sailed the oceans to search for new lands just to answer the question, "What is out there?" Others have searched the world over to find the answer to the questions of life.
The other evening I was helping my wife with a drama performance that she instructs for our local community education department. As the kids were getting ready for their pre-performance practice, one of the kids started talking to me about a performance of "Charlie Brown" that is using our church facility this weekend. He went on to make a statement and question that I had never been presented with.
"First Baptist Church is a loving, caring family of faith. Changing lives is what Jesus is all about and changing lives is what First Baptist is all about," said Dr. Charles Owens, pastor of First Baptist Church in Hinesville.
I am excited about the power of the word of God.
Not long ago I was telling one of my sons about a trip I took the summer I turned 16 years old. I was telling it as if he already knew the basic facts, and I was filling in some details. But then he said something that surprised me.
God's word must be presented as He has delivered it to man without change. Notice the following passages; "Ye shall not add unto the word which I command you, neither shall ye diminish ought from it, that ye may keep the commandments of the LORD your God which I command you" (Deut. 4:2), "Add thou not unto his words, lest he reprove thee, and thou be found a liar (Prov. 30:6), "For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall ...
I recently read a story of a lady who spent $30,000 so she could look like Kim Kardashian. Now, she has to spend the next few years paying it off.
Back in the summers of my college days, I worked for a builder. For the most part, I kept the skilled laborers (carpenters and brick layers) supplied with materials. Then, there was the biggest mistake I made during my first summer.
Anyone who desires to be saved needs to realize that God's will must be obeyed.
"But now I am going to him who sent me; yet none of you asks me, 'Where are you going?' But because I have said these things to you, sorrow has filled your hearts. Nevertheless I tell you the truth: it is to your advantage that I go away, for if I do not go away, the Counselor will not come to you; but if I go, I will send him to you. And when he comes, he will convince the world concerning sin and righteousness and judgment: concerning sin, because they do not believe in me; concerning righteousness, because ...

---- — Cape Ann Farmers Market will usher in the start of summer just a day before the solstice when it opens Thursday for its seventh year.
The market, which will host even more vendors this year than last, will occupy Stage Fort Park every Thursday through Oct. 10 between 3 and 6:30 p.m., with farmers, cheese makers, other local food producers and a few crafters manning tents and carts, according to organizer Nicole Bogin.
"It's definitely bigger, our biggest market yet," Bogin said. "Our focus is on food, nutrition, fitness, education and conservation, but we also do have some crafters."
The market began with seven vendors seven years ago, grew to 15 when based at Harbor Loop, and then three years ago, a big move to Stage Fort Park expanded the entire market.
This year will see up to 59 vendors at the park on Thursdays, with some of the vendors only setting up every other week or once a month, and others coming each Thursday. Fifteen of those vendors are new this year.
Vendors at the market are all based within a 100-mile radius of Gloucester.
The market's offerings include smoked and cured fish, a local seafood stand, Lebanese breads, cheeses, wines, micro greens, and dehydrated vegetables, to name some of the newcomers. These vendors will sell alongside with the farmers, the kids tent and the local musicians that customers have grown to expect.
"Now that we're at Stage Fort Park and we're really nice and established, we're really starting to see the audience broadening," Bogin said.
With the sprouting of more vendors and the location change, said Bogin, the farmers market began seeing more tourists plan a visit to the market into their Cape Ann vacations, but also observed Cape Ann residents becoming regulars.
"We've grown in terms of our customer base in Gloucester and it's not just the diehard foodies anymore, but people who are interested in having broader access to local foods and more choices," Bogin said.
The Cape Ann Farmers Market accepts EBT, SNAP, WIC and senior farmers market coupons.
While the majority of vendors sell from home or work from their farms and "very few" have actual storefronts, Bogin said, some do set up shops at other markets across the state and New England.
With farmers markets sprouting up in Rockport and Essex this weekend, Bogin said she is pleased to see the popularity and increased availability of locally grown foods.
"We're all here to support each other. The more farmers markets the better, the more access to local foods the better," Bogin said.
And that sense of camaraderie exists within the Cape Ann Farmers Market, too. Though the market hosts at least three farmers as vendors, Alprilla Farm vendor Noah Kellerman said everyone helps each other out.
"We're a pretty friendly bunch. Even though we are sometimes in competition with one another, it's a pretty cooperative atmosphere," Kellerman said.
If Kellerman sells all of his radishes, for example, he will send customers over to another of the farmers' stands for those.
Kellerman likes to pop over to the A&J Bakers stand, as the bakers out of Salem sell tasty sticky buns and fresh bread.
And, there is more than one stand to visit to buy spread for a bread, but Jack Arlon Foods joins the circuit of vendors this year with various flavors of jam and jelly. Kate Esty, the chef turned jam maker, sells her jams and jellies — including tomato chutney, habanero marmalade and blueberry relish — out of some of Cape Ann's stores, and will work a stand at the market every other Thursday.
Kellerman's Alprilla Farm first set up its stand at Cape Ann Farmers Market in 2009, then took a year off, but has been back every year since the 2011 season.
"It's fun to just see so many people excited about good food," Kellerman said. "We see lots of neighbors and friends, and make new friends."

NEW YORK -- U.S. stocks rose Friday, with the Standard & Poor's 500 index erasing an earlier decline, as data showing employers added fewer workers than anticipated in July signaled the Federal Reserve will continue its stimulus efforts.
American International Group rallied 2.7 percent after saying it will pay its first dividend since 2008 and authorizing a share buyback of as much as $1 billion. LinkedIn surged 11 percent after increasing its full-year sales forecast. Dell advanced 5.6 percent as founder Michael Dell agreed to sweeten his proposal to buy the computer maker with a special dividend. Chevron slipped 1.2 percent after posting its biggest second-quarter profit decline in four years.
The S&P 500 ended regular trading up 0.2 percent to 1,709.67, advancing to a record in the session's final hour and capping the weekly gain at 1.1 percent. The Dow Jones industrial average climbed 30.34 points, or 0.2 percent, to a record 15,658.36. About 5.7 billion shares changed hands, 11 percent lower than the three-month average.
The 162,000 increase in payrolls last month was the
smallest in four months and followed a revised 188,000 rise in June that was less than initially estimated, Labor Department figures showed Friday in Washington.
The median forecast of 93 economists surveyed by Bloomberg called for a 185,000 gain. Workers spent fewer hours on the job and hourly earnings fell for the first time since October. The unemployment rate dropped to 7.4 percent from 7.6 percent.
Consumer spending rose in line with forecasts in June as Americans' incomes grew, while orders placed with factories increased, pointing to further stabilization in manufacturing that may help lift second-half growth, separate reports showed.
Equities pared earlier losses as Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis President James Bullard, who backed this week's Fed decision to continue bond buying, said the central bank should wait for evidence the labor market and economy are strengthening before tapering purchases.
The S&P 500 climbed above the 1,700 level Thursday for the first time as central banks vowed to maintain stimulus efforts and data on global manufacturing beat forecasts. The benchmark gauge is trading at 15.5 times projected earnings, compared with an average of 13.9 over the last five years, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
About 83 percent of stocks in the index traded above their average prices from the past 50 days as of Thursday, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. While that's below a 19-month high of 93 percent reached in May, it's up from its 2013 bottom of 12.8 percent in June.
Some 115 S&P 500 stocks had their 14-day relative-strength index exceeding 70 Thursday, the most since May 21, Bloomberg data show. RSI measures the degree to which gains and losses outpace each other and some analysts who watch charts to predict market moves consider a reading over 70 as indicating the stock has risen too far too fast.
