Booty is in the Air
Pirate booty, that is! Today, "tall ships" of the pirate variety are sailing into San Francisco. Billed as the Festival of Sail, these ships will be available for tours, a ride on the bay, rides during the pararde and black-tie dinners to the tune of cheap, expensive, expensiver and fuhgedaboudit. As Steve Rubenstein notes (one of the best writers at La Chronicle, btw), looking at the boats from shore is free. If you head over to the bay right now, some of the ships are sailing in as you read. Plug1 was able to catch the picture at left while out today.

Old Guard Meets The Future In San Francisco Bay (Photos available)
SAN FRANCISCO (July 23, 2008) -- In a historic rendezvous, the Coast Guard Cutter Barque Eagle, and the cutter Bertholf passed along side each other near the San Francisco Ferry Terminal today.
The Coast Guard Cutter Eagle is a three-masted barque, and carries square-rigged sails on the fore and main masts. The sailing vessel is 295 feet long, can attain speeds of up to 17 knots under full sail, and has the capacity to carry 239 passengers and crew. The Eagle has been in service within the Coast Guard since 1946, serving as a training platform for cadets and officer candidates to learn leadership, teamwork, seamanship, and navigation skills. She is the only square-rigged sailing vessel still actively serving in the Unites States military. The Eagle is visiting San Francisco and five other West Coast ports, including San Diego, Los Angeles, Astoria, Tacoma, and Victoria, British Columbia.
The Bertholf is the lead ship in the new Legend class of cutters designed to be the flagship of the modern Coast Guard fleet. Bertholf will improve operational readiness and enable the Coast Guard to fulfill its multi-mission roles more effectively through better sea keeping, higher sustained transit speeds, greater endurance and range, and a greater ability to launch and recover improved small boats, helicopters, and eventually unmanned aerial vehicles - all key attributes in enabling the Coast Guard to implement increased security responsibilities.

Coast Guard Cutter EAGLE to be featured in Festival of SailSAN FRANCISCO - The U.S. Coast Guard Cutter Eagle will participate in the 2008 Festival of Sail Parade, here. The Eagle will lead 35 other vessels as they sail beneath the Golden Gate Bridge and along the San Francisco waterfront prior to docking at Embarcadero Pier 30/32.
The Parade of Sail will begin at 12 p.m. on July 23, and will be visible from nearly any downtown San Francisco waterfront location. A 100-yard moving safety zone around each vessel participating in the Festival of Sail will be established, and will be enforced by the Coast Guard from 12 p.m. through 3 p.m, or until the conclusion of the event.
In addition to the Parade of Sail safety zone, there will also be enforced safety zones from 2 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. during mock cannon battles, taking place west of Alcatraz Island on July 25 and 26, and west of Treasure Island on July 24 and 27.
The boating public is reminded that passing through or anchoring within these safety zones is prohibited, unless authorized by the Coast Guard Captain of the Port, or his designated representative. While enjoying time on the water during the event, all mariners are reminded to have properly fitting, Coast Guard approved lifejackets for all persons onboard, as required by law.
Coast Guard Sector San Francisco will have public information booths at the Marine Education Village at Hyde Street Pier, from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., on July 24-27, and at the Green Village at Pier 30/32, from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. on July 25-27. The public is encouraged to visit these booths to find out more about Coast Guard missions, boating safety, and environmental protection. There will also be a recruiter present during the Festival for those interested in career opportunities in the Coast Guard and Coast Guard Reserve.

- Dear Members and Friends,I will have more on yesterday's ceremony at the O'BRIEN as well as a look back to the loss of the S. S. BATON ROUGE VICTORY and seven of its crew members in a future message.After the Festival of Sail, I would like to refocus on San Francisco's own tall ship the merchant ship Balclutha and the San Francisco Maritime National Park.Phelps----- Original Message -----From: Phelps HobartSent: Friday, July 25, 2008 7:50 AMSubject: Re: Tall ships ahoy!Dear Navy Leaguers,Thursday, July 24th, I was down on the San Francisco waterfront for the Festival of Sail and went aboard four of the visiting ships. The following might be of interest if you were anticipating venturing out yourself.First, unrelated to the festival was a rededication commemorative ceremony at 1000 on Pier 45 near the bow of the S. S. JEREMIAH O'BRIEN. Formerly located near the Ferry Building were two merchant marine plaques and a old kedge anchor. Nearly everyone involved with the event was a Navy Leaguer. One plaque is in honor of US merchant marine personnel who served in World War II; the other to seven enginemen on the S. S. BATON ROUGE VICTORY who lost their lives to an underwater mine going upriver to Saigon to deliver war materials.The Festival of Sail has three areas of activity.I first visited the "Marine Educational Village" Some tented exhibits and two visiting vessels, the Nina and the Polaris. The Nina is a replica of a 15th century caravel. i.e. Christopher Columbus's ship. Remarkable; of note is that the rudder is attached to a tiller like a small sailboat of today. The Polaris is a 34' gaff rigged sloop built in 1906 in Alameda and maintained and operated by volunteers at the Spaulding Wooden Boat Center, Sausalito.Next I was off to the "Green Village" Here is where the public may go aboard the 295' USCG Braque EAGLE. I enjoyed chatting with each of the cadets posted along the route. Behind her was a reproduction of the HMS Bounty - the one built for the 1962 movie Mutiny on the Bounty. Spotted a Navy League plaque mounted with others just below the hatch.I would have enjoyed visiting other vessels but I also had to catch the AMTRAK bus to Emeryville and the Capitol Corridor train back to Sacramento.Getting between the three villages and then to get to where the vessels are moored is a challenge. Be prepared to do a lot of walking. There is no shuttle and taxi cabs are not cruising the Embarcadero. The F streetcar goes from Fisherman's Wharf to the Ferry Building. A water taxi was said to be available - I didn't see it and it docked in inconvenient places - the cost to get aboard it for any part of the day was $16. In addition to the trolley, I essentially hitch-hiked - four trips!A lot of Thursday's festival activity centered around educating and entertaining children. It looked like the organizers were preparing for an onslaught of people of all ages for the next three days.In short, my advice is venture out but anticipate crowds, mild weather, sunshine, and a lot of walking.I sure would have preferred all the vessels moored near each other in one spot.Anchors Aweigh,Phelps__________________________________________________Festival of Sail showcases maritime historyThe Festival of Sail taking place in San Francisco from July 23 through July 27 stretches along the waterfront from Pier 40 at AT&T Park to the Hyde Street Pier.

That morning had been chilly and now with the sun covered up by clouds, the cold had turned bitter and biting. The sky was gray, shot through with streaks of pale green the way it got just before a big storm was about to hit. It hadn't started yet, but when it came it would drop the temperature even further, the wind howling and whipping the window shutters and lightning scorching the tops of the trees leaving them with shattered branches, the remnants scattered at their roots looking like amputees gaping down at their lost limbs.
I knew Milo was sick and needed an operation that we couldn't afford. I understood this, but couldn't bring myself to accept it. When I looked into his eyes all I saw there was love. That love should have made me want to end his suffering, but instead I held on tighter, because after he was gone it would just be me and my father alone in the house, the two of us silently skirting around each other like ghosts.
It wasn't that my father didn't care for me. He had never raised his hand in anger, and I had never gone to bed cold or hungry, but he kept a large part of himself locked away from me and from everyone else. I don't know if he had always been this way or only became so after my mother died. Sometimes it felt as though he didn't know quite what to make of me—instances where he seemed utterly at a loss, like the time as a small child when I had bawled for hours over the loss of a plastic, toy horse. He stared at me like I was some strange creature he couldn't comprehend. Eventually he left me there to cry myself to sleep. Some might consider his actions cruel, but I think he was simply confused and unable to cope with situations that would have fallen to my mother had she not vanished from my life before I even knew I was in the world.
Milo had been my father's solution to the problem. The day he brought the black and brown puppy home was the happiest of my life. I suppose most would argue that a dog, no matter how affectionate, was no substitute for a mother's love, but to me Milo was the world. He would walk with me in the morning along the dirt path that lead out from the front of our property and met up with the paved road where I waited for the bus. In the afternoon he would be sitting on the front porch when I got home from school and would come bounding across the lawn to meet me. We grew up together, and in a lot of ways I thought of him more as my brother than my pet.
He was still bigger than me, even with all the weight he'd lost from the cancer, and I heard my father grunt several times while carrying Milo in his arms as we made our way to the tree-line that marked the beginning of the forest that bordered our property.
We had seen so many things there.
A family of deer drinking from a pool, the parents flanking either side of their fawn that was barely half the size of Milo and still shaky on its new legs. A black bear trudging through the stream snatching fish out of the water like they were standing still. Wolves howling in the distance and Milo howling back like he wanted to join them.
These were moments that wouldn't have been the same if Milo hadn't been there at my side to witness them with me.
When we reached a small clearing circled by a ring of birch trees, my father stopped and set Milo on the ground.
"This is a good spot," my father said. "You'll have no trouble finding him here to visit after we put in a marker."
I nodded, not sure of what to say. I knelt down and nestled my hand in Milo's fur; he lifted his head a little and looked at me.
"He's your dog. You ought to be the one to do it," my father said as he unslung the .22 rifle from his shoulder and held it out to me.
This was the way of things for my father. Something he understood better than crying toddlers. It had been his daddy's way, and his daddy's daddy before that.
I shook my head at him. "I can't."
My father put a hand on my shoulder. "I'm sorry it has to be this way. I wish there was something more we could have done, but it isn't right to let him suffer."
"I know...." I said, choking back a sob that caused my whole chest to hitch forward.
"Say your goodbyes and give him some peace, son."
I nodded again and took the rifle from him.
My father stood there for a moment like he was about to say something else, but instead turned and headed towards the house without looking back.
I laid the gun down next to me in the grass and stroked the top of Milo's head. He was staring up at me again, gazing straight into my eyes with that love that made me want to hold onto him as tightly as I could and melt into the ground so that we would always be together.
The first drops of rain began to fall.
I put my arms around Milo and pointed my face towards the sky waiting for the storm to come...waiting for the rain to turn the earth to mud, and swallow us both up forever.

Yes, we have a big issue with it with my in-laws. B has physical signs (cerebral palsy) but they refuse to work with her in a way that is safe. For example, she has trouble with her swallowing mechanisms, so we feed her in more of a reclining seat to help things go down, my MIL informed me the other day she had been a parent and not to tell her how to hold the baby as she leaned her forward because the noise she makes when eating is a bit gaggy, well of course everything came right up. She also as weird muscle spasms and we always ask that people who hold her do so where there is nothing she can hit, well my MIL refused to do so. It's so frustrating but at this point if they won't listen I just limit contact and don't share information or put B is a position where they would ask to hold her or feed her.

Handlebar Bag Dilemma
I have a lot of thoughts running thru my head at the moment concerning whether or not to get a handlebar bag, and what my needs really are.. First I have a low trail bike so handling would not be an issue... I have an Arkel Tailrider bag on a rack out back which seems to have enough capacity for most of my extra clothing and rando gear.
What I am lacking is easy to access stuff like food, phone, charger, arm & leg warmers, stuff that I should not have to stop for to access.. Ive tried a Bento bag and it hits my knees when out of the saddle climbing, and it also is not rigid enough and flops around. My top tube is a funky design and wont hold the bag right.
Arkel has a large and small handlebar bag.. I like the small but the map case is not removable and I am worried the case will yellow and crack with time and then I wont be able to replace it.. The larger bag has all the features I like but weighs 1lb more, and looks really big to me.
Is having a front and rear bag just too much crap for the typical 1200k? Should I not be so worried about the weight of it all? Are their other features in a handlebar bag I should be concerned with? (PS. I wont be using a front rack, so it will have to clip to the handlebar)
I guess Im worried that I will be dragging around to much crap for a rando, but I like the idea of having a few extra items, plus having access to them while riding.. Please discuss, and help me decide what to do. Thanks
I used to have an Ortlieb handlebar bag (i believe Wayne at the touring store has them on sale right now). I was one of the few randos in Houston with one. It seemed to fit everything I needed within reason (I kept a small underseat bag for some tools and what not). I then moved to a carridice pendle with sportman rack, and kept the handlebar bag. Then I upgraded my bike and got a berthoud bag which mounts on a low rider. I went through 2 1200k's with the handlebar bag and pendle. In the future, I will just have the berthoud bag as I can hold an extra water bottle or 2, rain gear, sweater and tools. This is with a little extra room to spare for things like a sandwich or snacks, which is the main advantage to having a handlebar bag IMO. If it's cold, I may strap some cold weather gear under my seat.
Well weight matters, but not a lot. In terms of cargo capacity, it just depends on your personal philosophy regarding randonneuring. Some folks like to carry everything they'll need on the ride, taking the term 'self-sufficient' literally, but most make liberal use of the drop-bag service available at virtually all longer events.
If I were you, I would take advantage of the fact that your bike is low-trail and fit a very small front rack and put a bag on it. This will solve your access problems and not add any weight over your current setup. In fact, since the Arkel bag is fairly heavy you may even save weight. You will have a similar amount of capacity.
If you want to keep your current setup (and I wouldn't blame you, it's a very nice system, I love Arkel stuff) I would suggest the small bag. I think you'll find because of the height of the bag (no rack to put it down on) it will affect your steering, and lighter is better. The map cases are fairly generic, and several companies sell similar bags so I don't think you'll ever have to worry about not finding a replacement. In addition, mine is many years old and not nearly as nice as the Arkel and it's still going strong.
I have both setups on my bikes: The Arkel Large Bar bag that I use on a couple of my steeds and an Ostrich/Nitto M12 rack/decaleur setup on my '84 Trek 520.
I really really like the features and construction quality of the Arkel... but I almost didn't buy it because it weighs in at around 2.75 pounds with the mounts and all. But then I weighed my bag/rack/decaleur setup... guess what? It is a grand total of 2 ounces lighter! And that is with the Ostrich bag... it is a very light bag at just under 800g. I would almost bet that if you were to use a really nice bag *cough-cough* Berthoud *cough-cough* that it would make the bag/rack setup heavier than the large Arkel handlebar bag.
Now there are pro's and cons to each setup:
I really like both bag setups, but they are good for different tasks. The main reason that I bought the Arkel bag was to use it on bikes that didn't have racks for either practical or aesthetic reasons, and I've been really happy with it.
But I do loooove the look of a traditional rack/decaleur setup on the right bike.
My opinion: Food doesn't need to be carried on the bike at all (unless you have food allergies and tote everything with you!).
And phone, charger, arm & leg warmers are things you stop to use, put on, or take off.
So none of it really needs to go in a front bag.
It's always been my philosophy that the more room you have to carry stuff, the more stuff you will carry. It's a basic law of randonneuring physics. ;)
I hear it said that the weight doesn't matter a lot. That often comes from riders who are strong enough for it to not matter. If you spend any time at the back of a 1200k during the last 600kms it can be very illuminating. From my observation, it's the riders who can afford it the least that are the ones carrying the most junk on long brevets. It kind of balances out the front riders who are carrying the least. I'd look for the happy medium. Just for reference, 1lb will slow you down 15-20 second over a mile of 4% climbing, assuming the same wattage each time. That isn't a lot in and of itself but accumulated over 1200kms (or even 400kms) it's going to have an effect in either a slower time or more fatigue trying to ride the same speed. Especially if that 1lb is more like 10lbs+.
If you are a strong rider and can reach the controls with plenty of time to spare then I say carry all you want. In fact, I'll give you some of my stuff to carry ;) but, if you are struggling to meet the time cut-offs then maybe it's time to re-evaluate what you are carrying amongst other strategies.
i really like the ortlieb front bag in the medium size.
it can be opened and closed easily on the fly, and serves as an excellent rolling snacktray...
You can put a subway sandwich in it and eat it while riding with ease. Fill it with a little ice to keep some beverages cold towards the end of day.
I've also ridden quite a bit with an Ostrich front bag on one of my bikes.
I find this size bag carries a lot of stuff I DON'T need to access while riding. Nice place for everything, but big, heavy all by itself, and has that tendency to get filled up with stuff like homeyba mentions.
Carradice zip roll bag is my choice.
Any handlebar bag with integral handlebar mounting clamps can be mounted to a "faux handlebar" decaulleur mounted to a front rack a little above and behind the rack. Mounting a bar bag lower and hugging the front wheel on a front rack will make a huge difference in how that weight is handled by the bike's front end. With the center of gravity low and directly centered over the axle the effect on the steering will be much more neutral.
I'm of the opinion that a little weight isn't a big deal and my comfort is more served by having stuff I want and need when I want and need it instead of "going without" when I want/need it. This comfort and convenience FAR outweighs the mythical slowing down or increased energy required to lug an extra pound or two up hills. Having a place to stash snacks, and clothing layers immediately and conveniently without having to get off the saddle is HUGE.
My bag of choice is the massive Nashbar handlebar bag mounted to the front rack low and off the bars on a decalleur and right over the front wheel.
Comfort and utility trump weight-weenieage any day. When you are tired and haggard having creature comforts makes all the difference in the world. Stuff packed in a back rack bag or pannier might as well be in your car hundreds of km away IMHO..
I'm building up my Terraferma to take a front load, on which to train up the the 200k level after about 18 mo of minimal cycling. I'm haveing a problem with a front bag that is narrow enough fo my narrow bars. I like a width of about 37 cm at the front of the hooks. I discovered this by riding a SAGGED tour a few summers back, essentially metric centuries several days in a row. Those SR Rando bars felt very natural - I guess I have a narrow chest. Right now the bike has 42 cm Noodles. But with a Berthoud bag on the front rack , there won't be much room between my hands on the hoods or hooks and the side pockets of the bag.
An unforeseen (by me, at least!) aspect of constructeur integration!
What front rack bags are a little narrower than the Berthoud GB 25s and similar?
Amesja, do you know if Nashbar is still selling that big bag you refer to? I think you were experimenting with Topeak a while back, improvising decaleur or other support devices.
I'm pretty sure that Nashbar had both sizes of the handlebar bag available the last time I looked.
I'm thinking of modifying the decalleur of mine to go without the handlebar mount part to save some weight and some ugly bulk in front of the head tube. I was thinking of chopping down the plastic bar mount and removing all the bar-gripping material behind the button on the quick release and pop-riveting on some alloy angle brackets and then pop-riveting them to another alloy bit that will, in turn, bolt to the rack. But I don't want to do this until I assure myself that I can purchase a new handlebar mount should everything go sour!
They have the small one here for $14.99 right now.
And they have the larger one here for $29.99 at the moment.
Those are pretty good deals if you ask me compared to other handlebar bags on the market. They are not without their flaws but the bags, with a little bit of work, are pretty nice. The biggest thing was lubricating the zippers so they moved easier, breaking the bags in so they weren't so stiff, and chasing all the loose threads with a lighter to melt them back and seal them so they didn't unravel later. It took me about a half hour to prep my bag like this and after a season of use it looks just like new. The zippers keep getting better and better the more I use them. I've re-lubed them once so far just to be sure but I don't even think that was necessary. The bag is heavy-duty rip-stop nylon. I don't think it will ever wear out unless the UV light degrades it some time in the distant future. The stuff is TOUGH. Short of the seams ripping out (and I took care of that by melting back all the crappy seam stitching that was wasn't tied off properly and thermally welded the thread and the fraying cut fabric ends at the seams) It should last forever.
I have no idea how wide a GB25 is, but I have a hard time seeing how an Acorn Boxy Rando would interfere with anything
Thanks everyone for your thoughts! The furthest Ive ridden with my latest bike creation is 400k, so its still a work in progress... I'm using a cf cyclocross bike as a base for this and when using the Bento bag it sits on the top tube and when strapped down tight interferes with my cables since they all run on top of the tube instead of the bottom. It also flops around a bit when I'm climbing and hits my knees... I could not find a hard sided bento bag..
Currently all the immediate need stuff I carry are in my Jersey pockets, including my route sheet. In theory I liked the idea of having my map, food, arm & leg warmers, phone, and light rain jacket in Front of me instead of on my back or in my rear bag. The front bag would allow me to wear non cycling specific jerseys (no pockets), it would give me easier access to my stuff, puts my route sheet in front of me, and so on.
I went ahead and purchased the Arkel small handlebar bag to try.. It weighs 2 lbs total, and if I use it wisely by not carrying extra junk it should work well for me. Worst case scenario is I'm out 125 bucks for rando riding, but I can always use it if I ever decide to take up touring:rolleyes:.
I strapped my bento bag on top of my stem because I couldn't stand it in the normal location. Works fine
They also make clips that you can use to hold your route slip on your stem or bar.
all of the cue sheet holders I have seen pre-made hold it behind your handlebars where it will hit your knees
Anyone have any experience with the Topeak Tourguide?
I was faced with the same challenge, i.e. wanting to carry some of my stuff within reach, but couldn't have a handlebar bag because I use aeros.
In case you're not happy with the Arkel handlebar bag, here's the solution that works for me.
I use a frame bag sold by MEC, the large model of this one. It costs 18$, weighs less than a pound and the velcro straps are big enough to fit on the huge Cervélo tubes. Because of the bag's geometry it will not fit on all frames, so beware. Also, there's no way it will hold what would fit in most handlebar bags. It holds a bit more than 2L, which is not much.
I use the frame bag to carry a 2-3 hour supply of Hammer Perpetuem tablets, all my granola and electrolytes tablets that I add to my water when I refill. The rest of the Perpetuem tablets go in a Vaude seat bag along with rain gear, tools and first aid. Every 2-3 hours I stop to replenish water and move tablets from the seat bag to the frame bag. Food-wise I can be independent for up to 400 km.
I don't use maps so the frame bag works for me. You'd need a map-holder if you were to go the frame bag way.
This one is kind of like it but it's black, not blue. :)
These look like heavy duty handlebar map holders. Haven't tried them.
Mount a Zzipper fairing in front, and the bag makes no additional aero drag.

The Books (Available Now)
The Sadist's Bible (long novella, roughly 30,000 words)
How well do you know the people you chat with on a social network?
Thirty-seven year old Ellie Blake is about to find out. Her Bible Belt community wouldn't dare accept her if she came out as a lesbian. Her husband, her pastor, and her neighbors would be scandalized by such a disclosure. But Ellie's desire for another woman's intimate touch grows stronger with each passing day, as does her desire to be dominant – to tell another woman just how to please her, to tie up another woman so that she'll never, ever leave.
Ashamed of these feelings and hopeless of ever satisfying them, Ellie goes to a secret group on the social network and seeks out a partner for a suicide pact. There, she finds twenty-four year old Lori Morris–a woman who also claims devotion to death and lust. She agrees to meet Ellie in a hotel for an intense night of decadent sex and torture before suicide. But Lori has another agenda, too: to escape an oppressive force that might be God or might be the Devil. A force that even suicide may not allow her to escape. A force that wants Lori, Ellie, and all of humanity broken and brought to its knees.

Jesus promised us that in this world we will have trouble. That is no surprise to most of us, but we often find it difficult to praise God in the midst of our troubles. What troubles are you facing this week? Be encouraged by the example of Paul and Silas in jail as you do these activities with your kids this week.
HIGHLIGHTS from Sunday…
This week your child learned that God wants us to praise Him in all circumstances. Paul and Silas rescued a girl who had been tormented by an evil spirit. There were men who were not happy that Paul and Silas helped her because they had been making money from her. They had Paul and Silas beaten and thrown in jail. In jail, Paul and Silas began singing praise songs as the other prisoners and the jailer listened. Suddenly, an earthquake shook the walls of the prison and the doors opened. The jailer was terrified because he thought all his prisoners had escaped and he would be in terrible trouble, but Paul and Silas had not tried to escape- they demonstrated love to the jailer by staying there. The jailer asked them what he could do to believe in Jesus. He and his family became Christians and were baptized and Paul and Silas were set free.
Where's It Found?
Acts 16:16-36
Teaching Truths
- We can praise God even when we are having trouble.
- We can trust God no matter what happens.
Memory Verse:
"Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good; His love endures forever."
Psalm 107: 1
Here's a simple song to help your children (and you) memorize this month's memory verse!
3 Fun Family Activities to Remember to Praise Jesus in All Circumstances
1. Prison Snack
During snack time let your child have a frosted cupcake. Grab some gummy bears or teddy grahams and one fruit roll-up cut into thin strips. Let your child press the gummy bears into the frosting and use the fruit roll-up strips to create prison bars over them. Tell the story of Paul and Silas and when the earthquake comes let your child break the "prison bars". When the story is over, let your child eat his special treat. Here's some questions to talk about it afterwards.
- Why did Paul and Silas go to jail?
- What did they do in jail?
- How did the chains fall off the prisoners?
- Did Paul and Silas trust Jesus?
- After they were free what did the guard do?
2. Bound by Chains
Help your child act out the story of Paul and Silas. Grab a couple of sheets of construction paper and cut them into strips. Help your child make paper link "chains" out of the strips. Have your child put the chains on their hands and feet. Next, use a laundry basket turned upside down as the jail and have your child crawl inside. Talk with your child about how Paul and Silas where frustrated and afraid, but that they chose to praise God anyway. Sing a praise song with your child and then reenact the earthquake and turn the laundry basket over. Talk about how Paul and Silas' decision not to run away and that because of that decision, they were able to tell the guard about Jesus.
3. Songs to Praise Jesus
Paul and Silas continued to praise God and sing even during their trails. Help your child make a homemade instrument to use during his singing. Put a handful of dry beans in a small plastic container. Tape around the top so the lid doesn't come off while he uses it. Sing praise songs with your child and let him shake his new instrument.
Thank you God for making us perfectly. Help us to praise you in all things so that our lives may be an example to others of your love for us. Amen.

green screen stage tutorial
Green Screen Studio*No Overtime*24 Hour Access*Free Re Shoot Day
The importance of a green screen stage tutorial cannot be overlooked when talking about green screen or otherwise known as "chroma key" aided film, video or photographic productions. Although this technology is fairly affordable, it is necessary for any user to have a thorough knowledge and understanding of how best to utilize it. This is because while it is considered fairly affordable, chroma key technology can at the same time be very costly. This all depends on the exposure a user may have on the technology.
Working with chroma key technology requires some basic, but fundamental skills and ideas to guarantee excellent results. The user should be well aware of the most ideal set-up of a good screen. To achieve this, going through a green screen stage tutorial would help in understanding the technology. Subsequently, users are able to work with better precision, accuracy and excellence once they are aware of how to create a good screen background, factors to consider in choosing a chroma key screen, the best materials to use and all that appertains to green chroma screen technology.
Any chroma key production should be based on a green background, which is even, well toned, and flat. The background itself should be smooth and devoid of any creases to achieve good quality productions. In a green screen stage tutorial, users are reminded that the stage should be spacious enough to accommodate the subject fully and probably with some extra little space to spare. Another key consideration is lighting. A good stage should be sufficiently and well lit from all directions. No shadows should be visible, as shadows are a negative effect on quality productions.
Even though most studios have the advantage of assistance from qualified technicians and professionals, it is equally necessary for the actors, filmmakers, photographers, artists or even enthusiasts to have basic knowledge of what a good screen is, and how to effectively work with it. This could be better served by a green screen stage tutorial. In addition to sufficient spacing, lighting an even, flat and smooth green color background, a good screen ought to be bright. As would be expected in any stage tutorial, another important highlight would be the fact that while the screen should be bright, it must not be shiny. A shiny background would compromise the quality of production be it a film, video or even a photograph. The effect of a shiny background is that it would have reflections, which are not any good for a good quality film, photographic or video production.
In understanding chroma key technology, it is of essence for the user to know the cost of various screen options available, so as to be able to discern the best bargain for a good quality screen facility. It is indeed possible to have a less expensive facility with very good quality production. Such information can be acquired courtesy of a green screen stage tutorial.

SugarCRM, customerrelationship management (CRM) platform, is a well-known leader in open source CRM and is used to manage leads, sales opportunities and build stronger customer relationships which results in higher conversion rates in sales. In any sales organization – Insides sales, Field sales and Account management teams are the biggest users of CRM. Customer service (support team) is another team which uses CRM application extensively.
Sales teams use CRM to build new account relationship - by maintaining customer information, creating targeted campaigns, identifying leads generated from campaign, different stages in opportunities, different interactions with customer etc- all this helps in finding existing and future needs of the customer. CRM can be used by sales team to forecast revenues and predict customer expectations as well as buying behavior.
Customer service representatives (CSRs) use CRM extensively to capture the call details, resolution of issues and improve the customer satisfaction. All the calls(phone or email) and interactions with the customer can be recorded inCRM. Looking at past, interactions are in most cases useful in resolving customer's current issue. CRM can be used as a ticketing system where issue raised by client becomes a ticket which gets assigned to a service rep. CRM workflows can assign ticket intelligently to the service rep based on skill set and availability. A CRM is useful to CSRs as they can not only see historical interactions with the customer but can also find out which service rep worked with the customer previously and how issues were resolved. CSRs and Sales reps CRM can help in up-sell and cross-sell of the product offerings.
SugarCRM should be set up in such a way that it is utilized for day-to-day operations. This will be possible if customer eccentric data from different functions like billing, transportation, distribution is gathered and displayed in CRM. It will make CRM much more effective and also enable companies to utilize the full extent of CRM. The information collected from other systems is invaluable to both sale steams and service representatives. This data can assist sales team from moving leads through the sales process - building proposals,facilitate order booking and improve collections. This can also help in developing targeted campaigns and getting detailed picture of your customers.
One of the prominent integration points with SugarCRM is any billing software. Billing system has details about the invoices, receipts and customer returns. This assists sales teams to ensure they are meeting their targets in terms of collections. CSRs use this information to attend to customer queries. Having the billing system details in CRMwill provide a single integrated view for CSRs and Sales reps for e.g.CRM can get key invoice information e.g. invoice amount, last invoice,invoice status, discounts offered on the last order from billing systems and sales reps can use this information to complete their sale.
SugarCRM and Billing systems can be integrated in a way that sales report service rep may not have to log in to two different applications to get the details. We can also ensure that the data in both SugarCRM and Billing is in sync at all times and users of both applications will see the current information.
Integration's like this can enhance CRM tools functionality exponentially and make sales and service teams operate efficiently.

Hello & welcome to HW. Your symptoms sound a lot like synovitis. My son has RA & PsA and his knees & one ankle are often swollen. He usually has to have them drained of the synovial fluid that builds up. Often he'll get a cortisone shot after the draining.
It has to be very difficult for you coping with RA & a young family as well. I hope you are able to find some sort of relief soon.
I found this, maybe it will be helpful reading:
Synovitis is a major problem in rheumatoid arthritis, in juvenile arthritis, in lupus, and in psoriatic arthritis. It may also be associated with rheumatic fever, tuberculosis, trauma, or gout.
Rheumatoid arthritis involves synovitis. In rheumatoid arthritis, the synovial membrane lining the joint becomes inflamed. The cells in the membrane divide and grow and inflammatory cells come into the joint from other parts of the body.
The test takes about half an hour and usually is done in a physician's office or hospital. No special preparations are necessary. The skin over the joint is cleaned with an antiseptic. Usually, a local anesthetic is injected. Using a thin needle, the physician will withdraw a sample of fluid for analysis, including culture of the fluid if infection is a possible diagnosis, and examination for crystals to diagnose gout or pseudogout.
If needed, medication (usually a corticosteroid preparation) can be injected into the joint space through this needle after the specimen is taken.
Synovitis is treated with anti-inflammatory drugs ranging from aspirin to ibuprofen to corticosteroids. Specific treatment is based upon both the presumed cause of the synovitis and the particular patient's response and level of tolerance of any particular medication.
Good Luck,

CEL expression for controlling an energy source with respect to time
Hello all
I would like to be able to control an energy source in my transient simulation with respect to time e.g. t=0 on at t=2 off at t=20 on at t=22 off etc. The simulation is for testing conformal cooling channel designs for injection moulding tools with the energy source simulating the injection phase of the moulding cycle.
From reading tutorials on the CFX Expression Language I understand it should be possible to do this using CEL and I have read a couple of tutorials on creating feedback loops to control temperature but what I dont understand is how to write an expression for a boundary condition or with respect to time. I am not a programmer so this is all pretty new to me; any help would be greatly appreciated.
Software: ANSYS Workbench V13
So to summarise my question
1) Does anyone know of an example/tutorial of an expression which is written for turning an energy source on or off with respect to time step
2) Can anyone help me out with creating an example of the code I need to achieve the above
Additional info: I currently have the above problem setup as 3 separate analysis; a) steady-state (for initial conditions of the fluid flow in the cooling channel) b) transient 2s (heating) c) transient 18s (cooling time) but I would like to be able to run it multiple times to simulate multiple moulding cycles all in the same analysis.
This is just a straight forward CEL expression. No programming needed. Use the mod function to define a periodic function and link the CEL expression to your boundary condition.
Sorted, thank you for pointing me in the right direction.

The Road Ahead Is Golden June 9th!!!
"We are very proud and excited to bring you this new album of ours (out June 9th). We recorded it last summer in the hot, early days of August in a rural area on Vancouver Island and the whole experience was positive for us. Three weeks before we recorded the album we didn't even know we were going to record one! So, we worked hard on the songs for the weeks beforehand and then we got to the studio fresh and ready to record. Most of the tunes had been written in bits of pieces over the last year or two, but some came about that summer, so there is definitely a cohesiveness to this record that you will probably hear. A lot of heart and soul went into these tunes and we hope that you enjoy them." J&R

Blasting activity will start Monday, August 28 in the Tallus Ridge area as part of the construction of a 20-lot subdivision.
TT Contractors has applied to the City of West Kelowna for a permit to conduct blasting until November 30 at the south end of Tallus Heights Drive from Monday to Saturday between 8 a.m. and 4:30 p.m.
As part of mandatory safety requirements, sirens will sound before the blast and once the area is cleared. An independent company will carry out vibration and air pressure monitoring.
Questions regarding blasting activity should be directed to Jim Tobin with TT Contractors at 778-478-3559 or firstname.lastname@example.com or the blasting company at 250-365-3956.

Plans to launch a national network of solicitors' property centres are in the balance this week as the Law Society meets to decide how far to go in deregulating property selling.
Nearly 50 firms have signed up to join Solicitors' Property Centres' proposed national network of property shops, but the scheme's backers will not cash their £750 cheques until the result of Thursday's council meeting is known.
The council is expected to go against the advice of its property and commercial services committee and not change regulations that prevent conveyancing firms or solicitors from acting for seller and buyer or offering financial advice.
Fearing that full deregulation may spark more claims on the Solicitors Indemnity Fund, council members are instead poised to back minimal deregulation. This compromise would permit firms to open an estate agency as part of a multidisciplinary partnership.
SPC marketing director Richard Berenson said that SPC had an alternative strategy if deregulation was completely ruled out, but he warned that the society would be flying in the face of the profession's wishes if it voted that way.
Solicitors' Property Group executive officer Leslie Dubow, whose organisation represents about 160 firms and has been at the forefront of calling for change, is outraged that full deregulation is likely to be thrown out by the council.
"We think it is a complete sell out," he said.
Dubow's organisation has refused to endorse Berenson's SPC network and is instead planning a number of conferences to offer property selling advice to solicitors.

If you have a question you cannot find in the list below you can look on the Forum in the help section to see if someone else has asked the same question. Or you can use the forum search (when you're logged in) to see if there's a thread about your issue somewhere. If not you can create a thread in the help section yourself and we will reply as soon as possible.
Where do I register?
You can register at the upper right side of the screen in the banner. Click on Register Now!.
I registered but have not received an activation mail, what to do?
Several things may be the cause of this. For one you could have mistyped your email address, double check it when you register. Secondly the mail may have been sent but it may have ended up in your junkmail. We do our best to make sure the mails end up in your inbox normally but somehow this still happens from time to time, so be sure to check your junkmail for the activation mail. Finally there may have been a problem on the server side of the website.
In case of the first and third situation you can try and register again after 1 hour, your temporary account has been deleted by that time and you can try and re-register it with the same username. If it still doesn't work out after that, try using a different email address.
Can I have more than one account?
You can have as many accounts as you want, but remember you need a unique e-mail address for each account you create at Clashflash. There is no good reason to have more than one account as your account will grow in game points and experience points.
Why must I enter a code when I register?
The code is a unique code which changes when you click on it or refresh the page. You dont have to remember it after registering. This code is for security purposes. There is nothing else you have to do but filling in the code you see displayed in the image when you register.
Why was my password not accepted?
Your password must contain at least 6 characters. The safest passwords contain both uppercase and lowercase letters, one or more numbers and a character like: $, # or @.
In order to register successfully, you must type the exact same password twice in the input fields provided. This is to avoid making unnoticed mistakes since you can't see what you type.
Why do I need to enter my e-mail address?
Your e-mail address must be a valid one because you will receive a link to activate your Clashflash account. After you register, you will also receive a confirmation mail of your registration containing your chosen username and password. Your e-mail address can be used to retrieve a forgotten password as well and for us it makes sure that people do not create an unlimited amount of accounts.
What kind of usernames are valid?
A username must contain at least 3 characters and may be up to twelve characters long. The only characters that are allowed are ordinary numbers and letters and the underscore "_" character. You may not have a name with a leading underscore. Remember that you can only choose a username that hasn't already been taken by someone else. You will receive a message if you try to register with a username that is already in use.
Please choose a nice and friendly username.
Why didn't my e-mail address change after I tried to change it?
After you change your e-mail address at your profile, you will receive an e-mail from us at the e-mail address you wish to use in the future. This e-mail contains an activation link where you must confirm your change before you can use your new e-mail address.
What does "Remember me" do when I login?
If you want your login information to be remembered, hit the checkbox remember me when you login. When you do this, you don't have to re-login after you left the site and visit again on the same computer. A cookie will log you in automatically every time you visit the website with this computer.
No username and/or password will be stored in this cookie, so your personal data won't be exposed. If you stay away for longer than five days, you do have to re-login.
Where can I login?
You can login by clicking on the Login at the upper right side of your screen. If there is no Login button, but a profile button instead, then it seems that you are already logged in.
I can't login, what can I do?
First you should ask yourself the following questions:
- Did I register at Clashflash?
- Was the registration successful?
- Did I activate my account with the activation link I received in my e-mail inbox?
- Was the activation of my account successful?
- Did I make any mistakes when I entered my username?
- Did I make any mistakes when I entered my password?
If none of the answers on these questions solves your problem, you can still try to click the Forgot password button at the signin page and fill in your e-mail address.
Remember you can always create a new account.
I forgot my e-mail address, what can I do?
There is no way we can help you to remember your e-mail address that you used when you registered at Clashflash.

Help & Information: A direct link to the forum thread where the game is explained.
How do I get game points?
Game points are gathered by playing and/or winning competition games.
What is the difference between the competition and the game portal?
At the game portal anyone can upload his or her Flash game. These games are just for entertainment and not for competition purposes. At the competition users can compete with each other on the high score lists and gain game points through high scores.
Also another big difference is that competition games are staff selected games. You can't just upload your game for the competition, you'd need a Clashflash administrator to do so.
Can my own game be added to the competition?
Yes it is possible to get your game in the competition. Your game must have a good score in the game portal and must have a competition-like gameplay. You will automatically be contacted if your game scores well enough.
Why cant I post?
You have to be logged in before you can post.
(Note: there is also a possibility that you have been banned from the forum)
How do I make a post?
You can post by (at first) clicking a forum topic followed by a forum thread. Then, after you read the thread, look at the lower left corner of the screen where you can click the reply button. This button takes you to the page where you can make your post.
How do I make a thread?
First click the forum topic in which you would like to create a thread. The forum topics are the clickable links on the forum main page. Select one, then click the new thread button at the bottom of the page.
How does text formatting work?
Keep your mouse pointer on a text formatting menu item to see its options. Click on the menu item to use the text formatting. If you have selected part of your text and click one of the text formatting buttons, the text formatting will be applied to your selection.
What is the game portal about?
In the game portal, everyone can upload his or her flash game. You can vote on other flash games and write reviews. The portal is of course meant to play games, but it is also meant for artists to share their work and to see if people like it. Once a game has been submitted the author is able to view a lot of details on votes and views, and every member can add the game to their favorites if they wish to.
How can I create a list with my favorite games?
Once you view a game in the game portal there's a button above the vote panel that says: Add to favorites. If you click this button when you're logged in the game will directly be added on the bottom of your favorite games list. You can order your games listing in your profile at the my games section.
What's the use of ordering favorite games?
Firstly, the ordering of games enables you to access a game more quickly as your list grows. Secondly, you are able to display the top 8 of your favorite games on the home page. In order to do so you will have to change your personal settings in your profile using the control panel and clicking My account settings. After that click Clashflash settings, check the box that says: Display my favorite games on the front-page and save your settings by clicking Change Settings.
How do I add my own Flashgame?
Move to the Game Portal main page and click on the Add your game button. A window will appear with a wizard that will guide you through the process of adding your game.
How do I edit my own Flashgame?
You can edit your flash game in your profile. Go to your profile and click the My Games button in the control panel. This will show you a list with your favorite games and the games you've added to the portal. At the games you've added to the portal there's a yellow button with a small marker in it. Click that button to edit your game.
How do I add more authors to my game?
If you're not the only author of a game it's only decent to mention the names of the other authors. In the add your game wizard you can add up to 4 fellow authors. They have to be registered Clashflash members in order to do so, if they are not you are able to add them later on after they've registered by editing your game in your profile my games section.
Who is Clashbot, and why does it show up as an author sometimes?
When the author of a game asks us to submit his game to the portal and when that author has no account nor the time to create one, a game will automatically be linked to Clashbot as the author. Clashbot is no normal user of this website, so sending it messages will do you no good ^^.
How do I get experience points?
You can get experience points by posting on the forum, playing games and taking surveys.
Whats with the different name colors on the forum and in the footer?
A normal member has the normal name color on the forum and in the footer which is in fact not a real color but black. Now there are several other name colors available depending on your function/status.
Red is the color of the Clashflash administrators.
Orange is the color a member gets when he or she has received the privilege to moderate one or more forum sections or if the subject is a staff member.
Blue is the color you will receive if you are a game developer and have one or more of your games running on Clashflash.com
Can I use normal popups instead of those fancy modal windows?
Yes, you can change to ordinary popups if you wish to in your personal profile. Of course you will need an account for that first, but if you already have one then in your profile you can go to My account settings using the profile control panel. In there click on the Clashflash settings tab and check the box that says: I want to use popups instead of modal windows. Save your settings and you're done.
What is a rank name?
When you register at Clashflash you start with zero game points and you get a few experience points which you receive just for registering. From then on, your rank name is determined by the amount of experience and game points you gather.
The first game point rank that you get when you sign up is Green and the first experience rank that you get when you sign up is Rookie, which makes your full rank Green Rookie.
There are 35 ranks for both experience points and game points. The higher your level gets, the tougher your title becomes. You can gather as many game- and experience points as you want.
Members of Clashflash with many game points tend to be experienced gamers and you probably need more skills to beat people on the high score lists that have a high amount of game points.
Where the game points decide the first part of your rank name, the experience points will take care of the second part. People with many experience points tend to be people that know their way around Clashflash. As your experience level increases so do your privileges. Examples of privileges are a forum signature and being able to enter a link to your website in your profile.
What are game points?
Game points are earned by playing flash games in the competition. Next to that, at the end of every month you can win game points depending on your position in the high score list of a specific game. You win the most points if you are on top of the list and if there are a lot of users that have competed in that game. The more games you participate in, the bigger your chance of earning points.
What are experience points?
Experience points represent your experience on Clashflash. You earn points by posting on the forum, by playing games, taking surveys and by winning (competition) games.
People with a lot of experience points know how the site works and can possibly help you out if you're new around here.
What do the statistics and information in my profile mean?

As any homeowner here in Fredericksburg knows, it is important to make sure that all aspects of your home are kept in good repair. The roof needs to be repaired if shingles are missing, the windows need to be repaired if the glass gets broken or cracked, the house should be repainted if the paint is chipped or cracked, the indoor appliances – such as heating and cooling – should be repaired if they start to malfunction, and indoor plumbing needs to be repaired if there are any problems with the pipes. What might not be so obvious – although it is as necessary as all of the repair and maintenance measures listed above – is the effect that water (whether it is sewage or flooding) can have on your home. This article will help you identify some of the water-related repairs that you may need to make on your Fredericksburg home.
Sewer Line Repair
The Sewer line is what connects your property to your city's sewer system. It is important to make sure that these lines are functioning properly. If they are not, you will likely know about it pretty quickly: broken sewage lines are likely to cause backups and leaks–a nasty problem for a Fredericksburg homeowner to have! There are many reasons that sewer lines might not be working properly: the problem could result from corrosion, "bellying" (when the weight of the soil actually causes the pipe to bend), or even errant tree roots! Whatever the cause of your sewer line problem may be, it is important to call a plumbing professional here in Fredericksburg to get it fixed as soon as possible.
Sump Pump Repair
A sump pump moves water from one area of your home to another. It is especially useful in the case of major flooding or enormous leaks. If flood water is left standing in your basement for too long, it can lead to mold and other health hazards. That is why it is important to pump standing water out of your house right away. For this task, you will need a working sump pump. If your sump pump is malfunctioning, there are many sump pump repair services that are able to help you. By getting your sump pump working again, you can ensure that your home stays dry, especially during those wet Fredericksburg springs.
Gutter Repair
Gutters are essential for carrying off rainwater, so that it doesn't leak into your house and cause serious water damage. As springtime here in Fredericksburg can become quite rainy, it is always a good idea to make sure your gutters are in excellent shape. Often gutters can become damaged from heavy winds or clogging, especially from leaves (falls in Fredericksburg are beautiful, but can be brutal on your gutters). If your gutters need to be repaired or restored, try calling a local roofing company. Many roofers also specialize in gutter repair and replacement as well, and will be able to make sure that the rains stay out of your house.

The city has invested more than $900,000 in four new snow
plows/sanders during the past three years to address snow conditions on city
roadways, but that's not enough equipment to handle the worst of worst days,
city officials announced Wednesday.
In a 12-hour period Tuesday,
four city sanding trucks, a de-icer and another smaller sanding truck covered
767 "lane" miles, spreading more than 100 yards of sand and more than 12,000
gallons of liquid magnesium chloride to fight icy roads, according to
Street Superintendent Don Barr.
The sanding trucks, which double as dump trucks in the
off-season, also have 12-foot wide snow plows that pivot to the right and left.
In the past, the city's old 11-foot wide snow plows/sanders frequently needed
repairs and were not on the road clearing snow when most needed, Barr said.
But even with the new equipment, the Street Division does
not have the equipment or manpower to keep roads bare in Nampa when a heavy
storm rolls through, Barr said.
The city has 369 "center-line miles" and when you consider
the fact that snow plows need at least two passes to clear two lanes or up to
five passes on four-lane roads, the city has nearly 790 "lane miles."
"That's a lot of ground to cover, forcing the city to
prioritize what roads to treat first," Barr said. "Additionally, crews cover
several roads multiple times, depending on the weather conditions.
Unfortunately, residential streets are lowest on the priority list."
"In preparation for our first storm, drivers distributed
liquid magnesium chloride Monday night, and last week we had drivers out
running the new equipment and learning how to use the new wider plows," Barr
The four new trucks also have GPS monitors so the Street
Division can track where the trucks have been and how many miles each covers
daily. That kind of monitoring will help the city assess needs down the road,
Fleet Superintendent Doug Adams said.
4 multi-use dump trucks with slide-in sanders that also have
the ability to inject magnesium chloride into the sand.

Word has come out of the Sundance Film Festival that Cooties, starring Elijah Wood, Alison Pill, Rainn Wilson and co-writer Leigh Whannell is being circled for distribution by Lionsgate Films. Read on for the info.
According to Deadline, it's looking Lionsgate will pick up the film, however, the deal isn't closed.
In the film, a mysterious virus that hits an isolated elementary school and transforms the students into a feral swarm of mass savages. Jonathan Milott and Cary Murnion direct.
The film looks amazing and we love the whole concept. Lionsgate would fit nicely with the overall tone of the film so we are eager to see if this deal pans out or gets shut down.
