Mary, what stood out most was what you said, "it is through each other that we come to know him." This is one of the biggest frustrations with our church and the school. No one wants community, fellowship, or the like. Very depressing!

A – Hickory Crawdads (TEX) 5, @ Savannah Sand Gnats 0
This Hickory team is amazing and unusual. At the plate, they are young, athletic and they lead the SAL in strikeouts and homeruns, by a lot.
Jake Kuebler allowed a runner to at least second base in every single one of his innings. He had little to keep Hickory off his fastball: 5 IP, 4 H, 2 R, 1 ER, 2 BB, 2 K.
The Gnats' offense had just four hits in the game, all singles, against tough lefty Luis Parra who fired eight shutout innings. No Gnat had more than one hit. SS Philip Evans was 1-for-3 with a strikeout and is up to .314/.415/.486 in his 11 games after the All-Star Break and .205/.274/.267 in 76 games.
AA – Ppd by rain
Erik Goeddel threw one inning before this was was called in the bottom of the first inning. They'll finish today.

Remember the Earth's Best package that I showed you just a few days ago? It was an extra special one because it had a brand new {or two} products in it! When I first heard the name, I thought they would be like those little freeze dried yogurt snacks for babies. Moreaya likes them, Sophia despised those, and I am a little weirded out by the texture of most of them. But the new Yogurt Puffs from Earth's Best resemble the quick dissolving baby puffs that most babies and toddlers LOVE! They taste yummy - that's coming from me and they are even softer than most of the puffs that we've tried before. I think they have a little more taste to them too! Did you know that earlier this year yogurt was named … [Read more...]

Toddler Snacks – It shouldn't be *that* hard!
When I asked which Earth's Best products you most wanted to hear about in my latest post, a lot of you said... the snacks! What's important to you in a snack for your toddler? Most of us, of course, want them to be at least semi-healthy and definitely safe, but what else? Honestly, the biggest factor in reaching for a snack for Sophia sometimes is accessibility! Our lives are busy and especially now that I have a 3 month old who's getting more and more active... I need something I can grab and grab fast. This is especially true when we're heading out for the day. I need something that doesn't have to be refrigerated, isn't super messy, and will satisfy Sophia in a pinch.

Laszlo Moholy-Nagy is one of the undisputed greats of 20th century avant-garde art—why is the stone marking his final resting place in Graceland Cemetery so small, so hard to find?
Moholy-Nagy, who was instrumental in directing the Bauhaus back to its original utilitarian goals—in his best-known portrait, he is shown donning an austere-looking overall of his own making, and he does not appear to smile much—first came to Chicago in 1937 to head what was then called the New Bauhaus, and later became known as the Institute of Design (the photographer Harry Callahan took over from Moholy-Nagy after his premature death in 1946; his most important patron at the helm of the Institute was Walter Paepcke, CEO of the cardboard-box-producing Container Corp. of America). He was actually born as Laszlo Weiss, the cousin of a certain Gyorgy Stern—another adopted Chicagoan, destined to become world famous as the conductor (of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra among others, for a staggering 999 performances) Georg Solti.
The grave stone for Adrienne Françoise List Sullivan, Louis Sullivan's mother—placed just a few feet away from her son's grave and next to that of her husband, Patrick Sullivan.

I'm an eclectic, nontraditional woman surprisingly half-way along my journey (ok...I'm an optimist), seeking a kindred spirit.. . I enjoy artistic/cultural activities (both traditional and edgy), NPR, most types of music, dance (free-style and would love to do more partner stuff), and improvisation. I work out fairly regularly, and I'm making slow but steady progress with yoga. I like to generate and explore ideas, laugh, take long walks, be in nature as well as city. The quirky/offbeat appeals to me greatly, yet I can function well in corporate/traditiona l settings. I am still trying to "live the questions." My Jewishness is more ethnic than religious; I am not traditionally observant. Spirituality, however, is a key aspect of my life; Buddhist/Oriental teachings and metaphysical thought inspire me.

MONTREAL — Six thousand swimmers from a record 97 countries, including Northern TRIBS Swimming co-founder, assistant coach and Adirondack District Masters Swimmer Jessica Jock, participated in the 15th FINA World Masters Championship from July 27 to Aug. 10 in Parc Jean Drapeau in Montreal.
The FINA event is the federation's biggest competition in terms of participation, and welcomes all water athletes aged 25 to more than 100 years old from all corners of the world. It included 50-meter pool swimming, diving, water polo, synchronized swimming and open water swimming.
Jock, 35, had been training part-time throughout the summer with the club's competitive swim program to prepare for this event. She was entered in four events in the Women's 35-39 Age Group - Long Course Meter 200 Backstroke, 100 Freestyle, 400 IM and 50 Fly. She placed top 20 in two of her events, and achieved new Adirondack Master's Swimming Records in three out of four of her events.
"FINA nailed it with their slogan, 'Water is our World.' To be able to participate in such a global event interacting and competing with people from all different cultural backgrounds, languages, ages, abilities and life journeys with the commonality of love for water, life and fitness was surreal. I was honored to just be a participant, and stood in awe watching past Olympians set new world records in their age groups. The 90-plus swimmers are the most inspirational. I've got my eye on future events, for sure," Jock said.
Her individual results in the 35-39 LC Meter events and new ADMS records are listed below:
Women 35-39 LC Meter 400 IM - Individual Results, 6:16.74; Women 35-39 LC Meter 200 Backstroke - new record of 2:53.45 (the previous ADMS record was 2:54.13 in 2011);
Women 35-39 LC Meter 50 Fly - new record of 33.28 (the previous ADMS record was 35.61 in 1988); Women 35-39 LC Meter 100 Freestyle - new record of 1:09.52 (the previous ADMS record was 1:11.90 in 1991).
A former Salmon River Central standout, Jock still holds the majority of the Section 10 individual records.
Northern TRIBS Swimming, Inc. is a local year-round USA Swimming club. This past summer, the club's membership grew to 141 participants. Practices were held at the St. Lawrence Elementary School in Brasher Falls and at the JM McKenny Middle School pools in Canton.
Members came from all over Section 10 including Franklin Academy, Salmon River, Brasher Falls, Massena, Parishville, Potsdam, Canton, Madrid-Waddington, Ogdensburg, Hermon-Dekalb, Edwards-Knox and Gouverneur school districts.
Highlights from the 2014 summer season were complied into a slideshow on youtube: www.youtube.com/watch?v=5-6ahwzGim4.
Registration for the 2014-15 short course season will begin soon. The club plans to begin practices and lessons the week of Sept. 15. The short course season includes competitions in 25-yard pools around the Albany region and goes through March 15.
New members can join the club at any time. For specific group information and membership details, visit www.gotribs.org

While most cats were out at SXSW partying and chasing girls, Deniro Farrar and Denzel Curry were putting in work. Despite only being out there for a few days, they managed to shoot a vid off their collaborative banger, "Bow Down" and it is slapping.
We had the chance to catch both these dudes perform at the A3C Festival Showcase and they actually tore the house down. It probably helped that it was on a wavy rooftop with mad heads in attendance, but that doesn't take away from the energy and passion that these two cats showed when performing this.
Look forward to a little something we have with Deniro coming soon and keep an eye for both these cats as they bring a new level of hunger to the game. Bow down!
Check out our latest episode of the Gitoo Show which we shot while down in Austin for SXSW. If you don't laugh at this, you need help!

I've only used Paint Runner for ONE room so far.
The fully loaded roller was heavy and gave me arm ache. My brother joked that it would give me muscles. He did not find it heavy though.
The paint MUST be thinned, the instructions recommend a ratio of around 3/4 paint to 1/4 water. Coverage was poor. I ended up having to use sevaral coats fo thinned paint instead of just using TWO with standard rollers.

To ensure best results while using the Paint Runner Roller you need to prime the roller before painting any surfaces. Priming is done by rolling the filled roller on a newspaper until the paint is coming out smoothly. It really does work well, and doesn't drip. Cleaning can be a bit of a pain. What I do is run it under the tap until most of the paint is out, then leave it overnight in warm water. The next day I run it under the tap again and find that this works very well.

I would recomend the Paint Runner Roller for big jobs where a consistant colour is to be used .
It can be frustrating to get the paint to flow in the first instance Diluting the paint with small amout of water speeds up the process .
The cleaning process is time consuming and would recomend that
you keep to the same colour for the whole room or have two rollers with two different paint colours to interchange… Read Full Review

Wahat AlJalabiya Rainbow Mist Kaftan
Rainbow Mist Kaftan Review
MissHijabi reviews our signature model "Rainbow Mist"…
"Wahat AlJalabiya is a brand based in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia that specialises in giving Muslim women access to some of the most beautiful and intricately designed jalabiyas a woman can own. Their company has over 79 branches in the Middle East, has been operating for 20 years and they've sold over 10 million fabulous garments, so they obviously know what they are doing.
They kindly allowed me to choose a piece from their collection to review; which of course, knowing me, just had to be the brightest, most colourful piece they had on offer. I saw this and pretty much squealed on the inside. I love bright in-your-face colours, so when I cast my eyes upon the beauty that is the Rainbow Mist Jalabiya, I pretty much experienced clothing Nirvana.
Here is how it looked on their gorgeous model:
And now it's my turn:
The garment costs $144 and can be bought straight from Wahat Jalabiya's website.
It consists of an undergarment slip as the kaftan itself is sheer, so you need to wear something underneath, which they have provided. The slip is sleeveless and seems to be made out of a cotton variety. It's very light weight and extremely breezy and cooling. I wish it were complete with full sleeves just so I could wear it to very special occasions like my birthday dinner next year (I have plans for this baby already) and not have to worry about revealing my arms underneath the kaftan, but in saying that, this style of kaftan really is suited to formal home gatherings with your girlfriends because it is so fancy so the sleeveless slip works well for that which is what it would probably be used for most. It definitely isn't something you would wear to wander down to shops to pick up milk in. I'm saving this for my birthday dinner so I will find some sleeves to attach, because I desperately want to wear this for a fancy dressed-up occasion like that.
The slip itself is opaque and long, so you could wear it by itself as a maxi dress with a light cardigan or blazer over it. I think it would make for a great casual summer outfit and to prove it I have matched it with a thin beige wrap cardigan , a candy inspired necklace with complimenting hues to really bring out the blended coral and deep pink shades of the slip and a coral coloured bag. Such a beautiful maxi for a summer's fresh day! To continue reading, please click hereDetails

Minnesota Budget Chief Faces Backlash on Vikings Bill
Minnesota's budget chief says he will likely wait until summer before deciding whether to activate so-called blink-on revenue options for the new Vikings football stadium. Minnesota Management and Budget Commissioner Jim Schowalter encountered sharp questions Monday from lawmakers who are worried that general tax dollars will be needed to compensate for poor results from expanded gambling.
Gambling Tax Money for Vikings Stadium Lags Badly
Tax money from electronic gambling in bars is falling way short of the state's original projections as the primary funding source to build the new Minnesota Vikings stadium. State budget officials released the latest stadium revenue numbers Thursday as part of a larger budget forecast.

Army fire, safety and environment specialists, in coordination with the Federal Fire Department, will conduct a prescribed burn of 800 acres at the live fire range and impact area this Thursday and Friday, according to Schofield Barracks officials.
The prescribed fire will reduce overall fire danger in the area by eliminating fire-prone vegetation, according to officials of the U.S. Army Wildland Fire Program, the supervising agency.
The scheduled burn is contingent on prescribed wind conditions, temperature and fuel moisture conditions and follows the exact format and weather
parameters of previous year's burns. Prescribed fire is conducted during
cooler temperatures and increased relative humidity.
Contingency dates of July 5 and 6 have been established if rainfall and
unfavorable weather two days prior to the target burn date occurs.
The Army is working with Hawaii State Department of Health, The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, along with the State Clean Air Branch who reviewed and approved the detailed burn plan for the scheduled dates. The Army has also notified the City and County of Honolulu Fire Department, and the Hawaii Division of Forestry.
"We are taking whatever steps are necessary to protect the land, and the safety of our community," said Col. Douglas S. Mulbury, commander, U.S. Army Garrison-Hawaii.
Ten members of the Army Wildland Fire program team, four members from the Pohakuloa Training Area Fire program team and four members from the Federal Fire Department will be joined by representatives of the garrison and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to monitor the burn.

Will Dolly Parton get Billy into Art College?
Will Sophie let her temper ruin her dreams?
Will Pete fix Kath's kitchen sink and finally win over Sophie?

i think i may be carrying too much stuff,when riding my road bike.
Previous Forum topic
Next Forum topic
apologies in advance.i have always carried too much stuff when riding my bike for any distance (starting with my mountain bike ).
just come back from doing a ride on my new road bike (about 27 miles i think),really enjoyed it,but my back is dead (here's the reason
i was wondering how you all carry what you need,when riding your bike? how do you also take a u lock with you when you want to stop somewhere for a coffee say?
i know i'm a big numpty (it's my own fault but do you have a special acme hole you can put everything in
i mean how do you carry all your food/water when you're doing 100 + miles e.t.c
if your going to take all that have you thought about some panniers.why dont you put your drinks into 2 bidons then they are on the bike in the bottle cages. everything else will just fit in your jersey pockets apart from the lock

How much of the drink did you actually, um, drink? Unless it is really hot you're not going to need more than an 800ml bottle for a 27 mile ride (otherwise you're going to be stopping for a piss constantly).
Food: forego the variety. Gells taste/feel wrong, but mars bars or similar are easy to stash.
If you must carry a pump, make it a compact one (i have a superb one I picked up in Halfords- own brand "bike hut" but works beautifully) strapped to the frame; the hardcore would suggest anything other than a CO2 cannister is overkill.
Look at the weather forecast, dress appropriatly rather than carrying extra gear.
If you're riding from home to home, then unless you're going shopping on the way back do you need to carry the lock?
The ultra-hardcore Velominati rules frown on carrying anything more than a single bidon and only what will fit in the pockets of a jersey

WOW, things will change for my on a trike, I can carry what I like and not feel it.
But upright, for 27 miles? A pump, spare tube, a bottle with something in it half full. Lights if its dark and my phone.
For 100 miles I would add some food, maybe a small lock, but nothing that chunky, thats an "all day" commuter lock in my eyes, not a pit stop one.

That looks like a huge amount of kit for 27 miles?
Firstly i just don't take a lock, simple enough if your out in a group but if you're out solo i'm lucky enough to have a bike friendly coffee shop handy. I tend not to ride where i'll get stuck in the dark but i just leave my lights clipped on.
Everything else fits in jersey with exception of water.
Pocket 1: Phone, credit card or tenner and key in sandwhich bag. Jacket stuffed on top.
Pocket 2: Minipump, tyre levers, tool and tube, with elastic band. Usually i stuff a wrap or two in there wrapped in parfoil, nice and easy to open on bike.
Pocket 3: Food, usually the Skratch labs rice cake stuff. Again wrapped in parfoil.
Are you carrying drinks in sports bottles or as they are? 2 bottles on frame will do most big rides but can always refill or buy a big bottle to refill mid ride. (Incidentally are you not absolutely buzzing with that much red bull stuff?).
Shouldn't really need anything more than that?

No worries, good luck with it!
I know the feeling though with gear creep. I do a lot of ski touring and if i take a bigger bag than absolutely necessary i end up taking the kitchen sink.
Force yourself to only take what you can carry in your pockets and be ruthless. Travel light and travel fast!

For a 27 mile ride at this time of the year, provided you're hydrated and fed before you start, you should need no more than one water bottle in a carrier. For hotter weather and longer distance (up to 50 miles) a second water bottle in a carrier. Anything longer, you are going to have to fill up en route.
Leyzne do great mini-pumps which fix to a bottle carrier and I use a co2 canister carrier which also fixes to the bottle carrier
I use a small saddlebag which holds two tubes, tyre levers, co2 head and multi-tool.
Your greatest weight is the lock. I think you will have to compromise in terms of risk. I use a very light and cheap combination wire lock which also goes in the saddle bag. Any serious thief could cut it in seconds, but it will deter the opportunist whilst you go inside and buy your coffee - then drink it with the bike in sight.
With regard food, a ride isn't a picnic, so plan to stop and buy food or Mars bars at places which suit the ride. All you should carry is a gel or energy bar in case of suddden energy loss.
If you do not plan to be out in the dark, don't carry proper lights. For emergencies at this time of the year (puncture at dusk) carry two small single bulb LED lights.
Take a measured risk on clothing - you can't cover all eventualities, but forecasts are pretty good these days. I've got a cheap weather station with an outdoor sensor so I know how cold or warm it is when I'm getting ready - it helps in not overdressing or underdressing
Please whatever you do DONT contemplate panniers unless you're camping with no chance of contact with the civilised world!

Assuming you've been eating normally in the days leading up to a ride, you probably have enough energy stored to manage an hour to 90 minutes without needing extra fuel on the ride. My Saturday club run is 26 miles and takes about 1 hour 15 minutes and I just take one bottle with water and then mobile and a fiver in jersey pocket, 1 gel just in case and then a saddlebag with CO2 cartridge and chuck, spare tube, patch kit tyre levers and then my house keys.
When I go on longer rides, I take a bigger saddle bag with all of the above plus an extra tube and a mini tool, add on a frame-fit mini pump and then 2 bottles with energy drink and more gels, bars and even spare drink powder in a zip lock bag in the jersey pocket.
If I know I may be out in the dark, the lights just go on the bike rather than being carried. If I'm going home to home, I try to dress appropriately and if it rains then just grin and bear it knowing I'll be home soon enough which avoids taking too many extra layers like waterproof trousers. If you must take a lock, look at ones for snowboards, they are small, pocket sized ones with a small retractable cable. Should be enough to deter the opportune thief if you are just inside having a cuppa and can generally see where the bike is.
Assuming you aren't too far from the beaten path, cash and a card can help in food emergencies so what you have been packing is really too much.

For ~2 hours:
Seat pack with inner tube, tyre lever, multitool, Snickers/fruit bar, zipties, toe strap, cash.
Lezyne mini pump and 1 water bottle on the bike.
Jersey pocket holds a pertex windshirt (wore it too often this year! ) and, if I'm considering unfamiliar lanes, a page from a road atlas folded in a poly pocket.
At this time of year I fit lights if it may start to go dark before I'm home, as it did last week, otherwise the Electron Backupz.
I don't generally stop on rides other than at a village shop for a water refill on longer rides. On those I take a second bar, a puncture kit, chain tool and second inner tube.

It may be old school, but I stuff my pump down the back of my shorts.
On the odd occasions when I've needed to lock the bike I've carried a chain and padlock around my waist, I've seen a combined belt/lock advertised which is a more sophisticated version of this.

I think you need to lose at least a third of it; like someone said you don't need that much liquid for 27 miles. The food looks like a weekly supermarket shop - you could just have a couple of bananas or energy bars in a back pocket. You don't even need those for that distance if you have some carbs in your drinks.
For longer distances you probably need to work out how much food & drink you need and whether you can stop and fill up anywhere. On a hot day you'd need 3-4 water bottles for 70-100 miles but in the winter you need less hydration and more energy drinks.
If you want to carry a lot without having it in a rucksack or pannier I'd take a jersey with back pockets, 2-3 bottle cages and a large saddle bag (the largest topeak aero wedge expands and has elastic straps to put a piece of clothing under it).
You can get little bags that strap on the top tube behind the stem as well but I find they rub on my legs when honking (i.e. exactly when you realy don't want something rubbing on your legs because you've run out of gears, feel like s**t and still can't see the top of the hill).
Instead of a D lock a small lightweight cable lock is probably okay for coffee shop / corner shop stops where the bike is only out of sight for a few minutes. What's the point of protecting your bike if you can't enjoy riding it?
Topeak pocket rocket is a good small pump which fits in a back pocket & comes with a bottle cage mount. I'd check user reviews before buying a lezyne mini.
If you've got mounts for a rack, a tortec velocity slimline rack won't slow you down much and you can strap waterproofs to it with a bungee if you're not taking a pannier. If you're not riding competitively and want to carry stuff then a pannier is a good way to get it off your back, although the bike will feel a bit more sluggish and you won't look cool. Bonus points when you overtake someone on a road bike with no luggage though (see http://www.itsnotarace.org)

I cant see the pic of what you take so sorry if its there, but things not mentioned are chain tool (maybe on multitool- but parktool mini one is likely to be better), and shimano joining pin (or sram link thingy.) In addition a tyre boot which can repair a damaged tyre is worth having. These things weigh next to nothing.
For rides of less than 2 hours I dont think you need food or drink especially when its not hot. I take a bottle of water on a 3 hour ride but dont feel the need for food. Longer rides your needs tend to go up quite quickly as you have used reserves up. If you are going hammer and tong then you might want something a bit sooner... but still not in 27 miles as its likely to be less than 1 and a half hours riding.
Finally (i am assuming from the question you are a relatively new to road stuff) the back pain may not be from the load but the position. If you still have issues after an unloaded ride dont be afraid slowly change things. On a ride make small changes one at a time. I tend to do saddle height 1st (too high can hurt your back if your hips rock) then saddle fore and aft. Get an idea of bar reach and height by changing where you grip the bar. Then try a few cheap stems.

Good advice above, but one thing I carry this time of year is a survival (space) blanket http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space_blanket. It might seem a bit stupid but it takes up no space, is very light and has a miriad of uses. Most obviously to help keep you warm, (under your waterproof) but can also be given to others in need. It is one of those things that you hope you will never need but will be glad of it if you do!

I see that the OP is located in a Wiltshire town loved by composers of limericks.
There was a young man of Devizes,
Whose rucksack held many surprises,
'Cos of the weight on his back
He was dropped by the pack
And finished outside of the prizes.
I'll get me coat.

I can't resist a limerick about Wiltshire either
Racefaceec90's a man of Devizes
too heavy by far he surmises
he carries so much kit
his climbing is sh*t
but his descending could win him prizes
