Car Preparedness: Fairfax Prepares Day 28
Many of us drive in our community, be it across the county, into D.C. or other neighboring jurisdictions (it's no secret many of us commute using transit, too, often for long periods of time).
If you drive, then please consider including a small stash of supplies for your vehicle.
What should be in a car preparedness kit? Here's a sampling of ideas across all seasons:
- Blanket
- Clothes with warm, comfortable footwear
- Diapers if you have children
- First-aid kit
- Flashlight with extra batteries
- Food, such as snack bars
- Ice scraper/brush and snow shovel
- Jumper cables
- Knife
- Maps
- Paper towels
- Phone charger
- Plastic bag with seal for waste
- Sand, salt or kitty litter
- Sign to request help
- Soap
- Towels
- Water
Also, it's critical to ensure you have at least a quarter tank of gas in case there are massive traffic delays. You may recall the January 2011 snowstorm that caused many people to be on the roads for 10+ hours. Try to always be prepared with gas and many of the supplies listed above.
THE ASK: Find a bag and place in your car with as many items listed above as possible.

Parsha Shmini: "Stick it to the man"
No-one likes to be under authority. If we are the ones exercising authority, then of course we love it, but no-one likes to be told what to do nor to be accountable to someone more important than them. Anarchy, rebellion and uprising have been part of our human experience since day one and are still part of our lives today (the Syrian civil war, ISIS, or simply just refusing to do what your boss says are examples!!!). But actually, authority in itself is not evil but can be used in a good and right way. The problem is, most of the time evil people pervert authority to suit their own interests.
Despite the bad press that authority gets, it was originally intended to be synonymous with trust and responsibility
Despite the bad press that authority gets, it was originally intended to be synonymous with trust and responsibility. In this week's parsha, we read how Aaron and his sons were given authority over the rest of the people – to lead and guide them, but also a great responsibility – to represent them before God and to atone for their sins (Vayikra/Leviticus 9). As in so many cases, human nature gets in the way, and two of Aaron's sons decide to bring their own offering to God, incense, that He had not asked them to bring. Whatever their motive, they made a grave mistake to think that they could just do what they wanted in God's presence and as a result, they died (see chapter 10). The rest of our people experienced firsthand a tragic case study of what happens when pride comes in and distorts authority.
God is perfect, fair and holy.
What is even more tragic, is that over the course of our history and even today we still continue to rebel against the ultimate authority – God. Whereas human authorities can be flawed, sinful and selfish, God is perfect, fair and holy. When we reject God's good authority over our lives, we end up on a road to self-destruction, just like Aaron's sons. Thankfully, despite our rejection of God, He continues to love us and even sent the Messiah, His Son, to die for our rebellion and to rise from the dead, to give us a restored relationship with Him now and eternal life when we physically die. There's just one catch – we have to be willing to put ourselves under His authority, to admit that He really does know best.
Are you willing to put your life in the hands of the One who originally made it – and live?

The Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN) in Ondo State yesterday decried the sack of over 6,000 local government workers.
In a statement by its Publicity Secretary, Mr. Rotimi Agbede, ACN said: "This latest act is in furtherance of the onslaught on the workforce by the Governor Olusegun Mimiko administration, which started after the October 20, last year, governorship election.
"It is unfortunate that the Labour Party (LP) administration, which owes much of its purported victory at the poll to workers, could unleash a reign of terror on them barely three months after the election.
"The LP administration has once again manifested its insensitivity to the plight of the people. It is ironic that a government that refused to employ people is sacking workers without considering the effect on their families."
The party's state executive is on a tour of councils in the South Senatorial District.
The tour is aimed at repositioning the party for future challenges.

's Defence Minster: How Racist Can He Be?
By Abdullahi Osman El-Tom
March 19th 08:
's Minister of Defence, Abdel Raheem Mohamed Husain is not new to controversy.
However, his recent revelation touches on a sensitive nerve among all Sudanese who have opted for building a new Sudan clear of racism; racism that accords supremacy to Sudanese Arabs, hybrid or otherwise, over the majority Sudanese who celebrate their African descent.
Indeed rejection of this type of racism represents a hallmark of the Comprehensive Peace Agreement (CPA) between north and south
and is central to the current war in
But the predicament of the
is that it is ruled by the worst, if not total idiotic tranche of its people.
These words might harsh, alright but they are well earned by our Minister for Defence.
In one of his routine public appearances, Minister Husain addressed an open gathering at
's Embassy in
Saudi Arabia
, February 13th, 08.
An opponent of Kajabar Dam challenged the Minister about rumours regarding proposed settlement of 5 million Egyptian farmers in the newly irrigated land.
Kajabar Dam is currently under construction on the River
in the Northern Region.
So far, the Dam failed every test you can think of: economic, environmental, archaeological as well as human rights considerations.
All reports indicate that local people in the area will lose most.
While the Dam will undoubtedly produce more energy, the local people will either lose their lands to water or end up as agricultural proletariat in the very land that they now own.
The fear of the locals being displaced by Egyptians has its reasons.
Under the Four Freedoms Agreement between
, Egyptians have the right to own land at Kajabar area.
This is the concern that was raised to the Minister in the debate.
Let us turn to the Minster's response to his fellow northerner which is of prime concern to us.
Thus the Minister said, and I translate:
For the sake of debate, let us assume that the government is intending to resettle 5 million southern Egyptians (Saaida) in the northern Region of
So what?
There are now 8 million people in
, all of them are Africans and coming from abroad.
Would it be better for you to have those coming into you from Egypt or those who are coming from West Africa
Reporter Adam Elhilbawi is right to declare the statement as insulting to
people who are effectively banished from
and reduced to a bunch of incoming foreigners. But the statement goes much further than that. In its stigmatisation of black Africans, the Minister's statement amounts to a blatant racist revelation that offends the absolute majority of the Sudanese people, or at the least over 60% of Sudan's population who celebrate and take pride in their African origin.
Much more, the Minister seems to be oblivious to his partners in the Government of National Unity and who make no claim to Arab ancestry.
Embarrassing as it may be, Mr Husain's statement is informative regarding the Arab racist ideology which we have been exposing for long; the same ideology which has precipitated the current genocide in
This ideology calls for banishment of all Africans, and at all cost, from the
and for their replacement with so-called Arabs, irrespective of where they come from.
The desire to displace African Sudanese in favour of imported Arab foreigners was chillingly reported by the UN last July 2007.
In its report, the UN confirmed arrival of 75,000 Arabs into
, only to be housed in same villages of
West Darfur
whose original inhabitants had been cleared away by government army/Janjaweed.
This incident is also clearly in line with the policy of the clandestine Arab Congregation Movement and which calls openly for what they ridiculously termed "restoration of Arab balance in
The minister's statement is not a casual slip of a tongue.
Rather, it is part and parcel of racist Sudanese policies pursued by some Arabized ruling elite in the country.
In that, the Minister is aided by many others in the pinnacle of power in the
Not so long ago (2005), Mr Atta Almannan, the Ex-Governor of
declared in a public rally in Sheiriya town that "the Zaghawa of
had to look for another planet to line on".
Not surprisingly, the Janjaweed proceeded to implement the Governor's ruling.
They went into ethnic cleansing clearing the Zaghawa from their villages.
In their war against their African neighbours, the Janjwaeed would echo their war cry: "Whoever dies, goes into martyrdom, and whoever survives, gets the wealth of the slaves".
But the Minister has other supporters from far afield.
Abde Rahim Hamdi, the economic guru of Albashir proposed to the General Convention of the ruling Party, NCP, (December 2005) to focus future investment in
in what he called Dongola-Kordofan-Sinnar triangle.
This is what Hamdi sees as the Arab part of the
which is worthy of investment.
The rest, destined to be Africans have to go without the very wealth which they helped to produce.
Professor Hasan Mekki, the racist bigot of the regime also counts as a staunch supporter of Mr Husain's slave trader mentality philosophy.
Lamenting presence of impoverished Sudanese of non-Arab origin living and/or squatting at the outskirts of the capital
, he wrote: "
is besieged by a black belt (Africans) filling it with flies during the day and tormenting it with house burglars at night".
May Allah help the white city of
, I may say.
I am an indigenous Darfuri and an African but equally a Sudanese whether Mr Husain can stomach that or not.
And as such, I must declare that Mr. Husain's statement filled me with deep sense of shame; that we in that country would opt to allow the likes of Mr. Husain to occupy a position of authority and leadership.
One of our many crises in the
is that our leaders can be openly racist and yet expect us to allow them to retain an aura of respectability in the nation.
No wonder we are where we are at the present time! Famines, extreme destitution, civil wars, Janjaweedism, ethnic cleansing, war crimes and genocide have all become trademarks for
Mr Husain has now put his relative and confidant Albashir in a difficult position.
Albashir can keep him in office and risk indicating that he is happy with his thesis.
Or, he can sack him and look for a better person to take over his portfolio. Mind you, Albashir has lost a golden chance to sack Mr. Husain before when he was serving as Minister for Interior.
The opportunity came when the Minister granted a construction contract to a firm owned by him to build offices belonging to his Ministry of Interior.
His firm took a short cut and as a result, the building collapsed leading to several fatalities.
As the history of
conflict shows, Albashir is notorious for being a slow learner who has consistently failed to take note of his mistakes.
Had he not been so, he would not have ended up with a shadow of ICC over his head.
Now is a chance for him to start the march towards his redemption.
Here is a lesson for him from the
, and I apologise for his Excellency if he finds the source somewhat unpalatable. Samantha Power was a member of the campaign team of
presidential candidate Barak Obama. In an unguarded interview, Ms Power said: "
is a
monster who will stoop to anything to win"
For that wrong word (monster), Ms Power had to resign.
Hilary Clinton too had a similar stumble.
Ms Ferraro, her campaign assistant said:
Obama was a white man, he would not be in this position".
She too had to go.
While mistakes have been committed by both, Ms. Power and Ms. Ferraro, their statements were nowhere near Mr Husain's of
Well Mr Albashir: history is no place for mercy and the choice is yours.

So, it's not the latest late-breaking news, but I wanted to post about a couple of recent San Fernando Valley bike lane projects that I rode and photographed earlier this year: Plummer Street and Reseda Boulevard. I gave a couple of CicLAvia talks at Cal State Northridge on March 8th 2012, and, in between the day and evening lectures, I got a chance to ride these relatively new bike lanes. I was happy to meet plenty of SFV cyclists in attendance at the talk. Bike Culture is thriving all over, and is alive and well at CSUN, which has a reputation as a car-commuter campus.
The Reseda Boulevard lanes are more recent and a more interesting – a worthwhile gap closure and an example of on-street parking removal – but I will review the Plummer Street lanes first.
The Plummer Street bike lanes extend 0.21 miles from Reseda Boulevard to Etiwanda Avenue. They were completed in March 2010. This was back when the a really pathetic draft version of the city's "2010" Bike Plan was on the table (for one example: that entire plan included only 26 new bike lane miles citywide – that's less than the roughly 34 new bike lane miles that the city has implemented already this fiscal year.)
The city was receiving so much bicyclist criticism for its poor plan and its lack of bike facilities, things started to budge on implementation. Well before plan approval and mayoral pledges, bike lane mileage implementation was trending upward. I think that this was largely to pressure from criticism from various sources, especially including Bikeside and the Bicycle Writers Collective.
I think that the Plummer lanes are one example that shows that fairly short segments can be useful. The 0.21-mile lanes make an important connection between Reseda Boulevard (see below) and California State University at Northridge.
The overal Reseda Boulevard lanes have a long checkered history which is ultimately a success story for bike lane implementation.
The new segment I rode in March 2012, that I hadn't seen or reported on earlier, runs just 0.5 mile from Roscoe Blvd to Parthenia Street. This new stretch of Reseda Boulevard bike lanes was implemented September 2011.
The new lanes includes a two-block stretch from Chase Street to Napa Street where Reseda Boulevard narrows slightly. Though 90+% of the Reseda bike lanes had been added without removing existing parking or car travel lanes, for those two blocks, implementing two ~5-foot bike lanes necessitated removal/reduction of either parking or travel lanes. The city Department of Transportation (LADOT) generally won't remove on-street parking to implement bike lanes, because they anticipate criticism from drivers and businesses that value the parking.
In this case, there's sufficient off-street parking at each of the businesses on the east side of the street. City Bicycle Advisory Committee (LABAC) SFV leader Glenn Bailey and LADOT reps spoke with business owners (also local Neighborhood Councils and City Councilmember Mitch Englander) – and though I expect that some of them might prefer the two blocks of on-street parking, none of them ultimately strongly opposed the project.
This new segment is an important gap-closure. The new half-mile completed 4.8 miles of continuous bike lane on Reseda Boulevard. Reseda Blvd now has 10.7 miles of bike lane, with 0.75-miles of sharrows (and excepting a ~2-block gap at the 118 Freeway) for an 11.7 mile bikeway from one end of the Valley to the other.
This new half-mile gap-closure stretch is an example of how cyclists and the city can work with communities to solve problems, sometimes removing some car facilities, and implement worthwhile bike facilities. That's the kind of work that Bikas intends to do more of!

The MECA System
Product Description
The MECA System is an age-appropriate transition, career exploration, career assessment and vocational assessment system related to training, education and employment. MECA is also a popular maker education system connecting hands-on projects to applied academics.
The MECA System is comprised of four unique parts, tied together by a comprehensive management system:
- Interest Indicator
- Work Samples
- Learning Assessment Programs
- Career Planners
The management system allows for a seamless program integration from interest testing to the assigning, delivery, benchmarking, tracking, and creating a transition IEP and a Summary of Performance. This eliminates the expensive and time-consuming activities of scoring and reporting results, and frees up the program administrator to help where needed.
Thanks to the Conover Company's MECA programs, the teachers in our special education department are more comfortable writing transition plans. MECA has also helped our department tremendously in our last audit. We received a 100% rating on transition plans and there were no compliance findings in our report.
MECA Components
Interest Indicator
The Interest Indicator is the launching point of the MECA System. It identifies possible career areas from 16 career clusters based on user feedback on their likes and dislikes of general, everyday activities. The MECA System will interpret the results of this assessment automatically and deliver appropriate follow-up instruction and assessment in these career areas.
Work Samples
Work Samples are hands-on project simulations of actual workplace activities. They allow the user to be exposed to many different potential career areas and can be utilized for career exploration and assessment based on what the user can and cannot do. Data is tracked automatically by the management system and scored according to research-based time and quality standards built into the system.
Learning Assessment Programs (LAPs) are career-specific academic assessments. They help make the connection between the classroom to the real world and assess the skills necessary for success in that particular area. All results are tracked electronically and assessed competencies are aligned with common core standards as well as all 50 U.S. State content standards to easily provide the course of study.
Career Planner
The Career Planner is a career information system providing age-appropriate occupation information to users who need it most but whose access has been limited in the past due to physical and/or reading limitations. It provides the information needed for users to make educated decisions about their future and provides basic goal setting and life planning tools to achieve those goals.
Built-In Accountability
By being cloud-based, our system removes the limitations of traditional software systems. Now you can access any part of our Conover Online system on any computer or mobile device, providing accountability and giving you access to our state-of-the-art usage and performance analytics, real-time data tracking and program management tools anytime, anywhere!

PLYMOUTH, NH-The University of Massachusetts Dartmouth men's basketball team dropped another close contest as they fell 69-67 to host Plymouth State, in the second half of a Little East Conference doubleheader at Foley Gymnasium Saturday.
The single digit loss for the Corsairs is their fifth of the season, and it was their third loss this season by a single possession.
The Panthers led for most of the first half until sophomore guard Mike Rotando (Point Pleasant Beach, NJ/Point Pleasant Beach HS) knocked down a trey with 1:37 remaining to make the score 31-29. The Corsairs ended up taking a 34-31 lead heading into the break.
In the beginning of the second half the two teams traded baskets, but the Corsairs were able to stretch their lead to seven with 12:30 left in the contest as Rotando knocked down a pair of free throws to make it 51-44. The seven point lead was the largest of the game for the Corsairs.
The Panthers responded with an 8-0 run capped by a pair of free throws by Alex Burt to make the score 64-59 with 3:50 remaining. With the 30 seconds left in regulation Rotando knocked down a trey to make cut the Panthers lead to just one at 68-67. On the ensuing possession, the Corsairs forced a turnover, but they were unable to capitalize on their final possession as junior forward Eleazar Clayton (Boston, MA/East Boston HS/Fitchburg HS) missed a layup.
Offensively, the Corsairs were led by Rotando who scored 23 points on 7-16 shooting, while knocking down four treys.
Junior guard John Genkos (Worcester, MA/Doherty HS) and sophomore center Alex Rodrigues (Fall River, MA/Durfee HS) each scored 16 for UMass Dartmouth. Burt led the Panthers with 33 points, while Kevin Eisenberg added 20.
UMD made 42 per cent of their shots, but PSU shot 48.9 per cent from the field.
"It was a disappointing loss," said UMass Dartmouth Head Coach Brian Baptiste. "They made some threes, they made their free throws, and they made the plays at the end of the game and we didn't."
"We had a chance at the end, and we got Elie (Clayton) underneath the basket and his shot didn't go in. Mike (Rotando) fouled a guy with three-tenths of a second left, they made one free throw, and we threw a baseball pass the length of the court to try to get a final shot off and it didn't work."
UMass Dartmouth fell to 0-8 and 0-2 in the Little East Conference with the loss, while Plymouth State improved to 2-6 and 1-1 with the victory. The Corsairs will return to action when they visit Johnson & Wales Tuesday evening. The Panthers will visit Lyndon State next Saturday.

I have been practicing yoga off and on for nearly 10 years. I have experienced many different types of yoga and just as many different types of teachers both in the US and in India. Teresa has managed to combine all the best features of the various theories and all the best practices of the best teachers. I love how she creates an atmosphere that allows me to be totally present in the moment and to feel refreshed, limber and at peace when I leave her studio
I have enjoyed practicing yoga with Teresa for about 5 years. I have worked with several other yoga teachers and she is absolutely the most inspirational and beneficial. The physical flexibility and strength I have gained and the stress relief brought about by her focus on breathing and mindfulness have greatly improved my quality of life. I have been so impressed that I have recommended Teresa's classes to many friends and neighbors. I even arranged for her to teach corporate yoga at my office, to bring much appreciated relief to my fellow employees who spend long hours sitting at computers. The mix of ages, skills and genders in her classes, as well as the loyalty of her long-term students, is a testament to the generosity and effectiveness of her teaching.
Teresa is beautiful on the inside and out. She really cares about her clients and I appreciate her taking time to explain theory and "form" importance. She is kind and patient and when class is done she has a good sense of humor! I also admire her striving for more knowledge and continuing education and certifications. She is a real pro, has a warm giving heart and is a confident, thoughtful person. You need to come to her class and experience her style."
I have been Teresa's yoga student for more than 6 years, following her from [a previous fitness facility] to Onvo. She is the best teacher for students new to yoga and does a great job managing multiple skill levels in the same class. Teresa is a continual learner and brings her knowledge uniquely to each student. I am grateful for Teresa's instruction and encourage others to join Shri Yoga classes at Onvo.
Teresa is a fantastic teacher! Every time I think I'm never going to understand a technique, she works with me at length, until I completely understand it. Thank you Teresa!
Teresa is a gifted yoga teacher. She brings a wonderful mix of experience, knowledge and kindness to her teaching.
Every class is balanced- as any good yoga class should be and she focuses on ensuring each student grows and leaves the class more connected and calm than when they arrived.
Teresa is trained in a variety of styles which brings incredible depth to her teaching, but her teaching is always grounded on sound principles of alignment.

A 23-year-old Long Beach man was arrested early Christmas Eve on suspicion of strangling his girlfriend's cat to death in a fit of rage, police said.
Sergei Smirnoff was arrested about 1 a.m. Wednesday at a home in the 2300 block of Carnegie Lane on suspicion of animal cruelty, according to Sgt. Shawn Freeman of the Redondo Beach Police Department. Smirnoff was at his girlfriend's Redondo Beach home, where officers found a cat that had been killed. A witness told police Smirnoff had injured and strangled the cat, which was a rescue animal from a shelter, Freeman stated in a news release.
Smirnoff was booked in Redondo Beach jail and was being held on $20,000 bail. He was due in Torrance Superior Court on Monday.

Dave Matthews Won't Tour in 2011
The prospect of a year off touring in 2011 has Dave Matthews hatching a few ideas -- although he notes that "I'm much better at not having any plans. The success of my career...has depended heavily on me having no control over it."
"I want to look at music not as a professional," Matthews told Billboard.com during a conference call with reporters to promote this year's Bonnaroo Music Festival, which the Dave Matthews Band will close on June 13. "I'm always...a professional to a degree, but I'd like to do it for a year where I'm just an amateur, where the only reason I'm doing it is out of love so I can come back with this group of people that I've played with for 20 years and have something more. I'm really excited about playing this year and not having a real plan other than trying to make the most of it and...then next year hide behind a tree. And I hope that anyone that's hunting me doesn't find me."
Matthews said that he does have a few new songs "that I'm messing around with," but is not sure if any of them will be ready to play live during the nearly 16-week tour, which starts Friday [may 28] in Hartford, Conn. "My problem is I'm good at starting songs," he explained, "then I have to work, and to end it is always hard. I'm always sort of hoping I'll find something new, desperately hoping that something will come into my mind that will sound like anything interesting. But I have a few things that are in their beginnings."
As for the decision to take 2011 off the road, Matthews said that it's something he's contemplated throughout the past 20 years, but it never seemed like the right time. "Right now," he said, "I think the band, in our relationships with each other and with the music, we're in the best place I can remember us being. For that reason I thought that taking a year to sort of recharge my creative juices and sort of not have the safety net of touring with the band for a year and just see what my head comes up with was sort of my idea. I thought there's no time like now."
Matthews also felt that, given the devotion of a fan base who treat DMB tours as an annual rite, it was important to announce the break rather than simply taking it.
"For us it's a big deal," he said. "I certainly feel an obligation to the people that support the uniqueness of the band's career and have made it...sort of habitual or a moment of quite a few people's summers, it would be, I guess, ungrateful to not say everything. I felt that about everyone me as well, the crew and the band and the people that work with us. I wanted to give everyone a long heads-up." And, Matthews promised, he has "every intention of going back to these same people," meaning the band. "That's my plan, to come back to these same people and reconvene, just having taken a little time to star at the stars and stare at our kids."
Besides Bonnaroo, the DMB will also play the Hullabal.OU Music Festival on July 25 at Churchill Downs in Louisville, Ky., and the Mile High Music Festival on Aug. 15 in Commerce City, Colo. The group is currently scheduled to wrap the tour on Sept. 15 in St. Paul, Minn.

Brian McBride said: I'm afraid that suggesting replacement text which is just wrong, and you know to be wrong, isn't all that helpful. Nor are the references to terms such as metaclasses, contexts, class names etc which are simply not part of RDFS . Please bear in mind that we are trying to describe RDFS here, not something else you may have in mind. I would like everyone to take note of the alternatives. The statement I suggested re "context" is, "In different contexts, two classes may have exactly the same members and yet be different classes." which is a true statement. The statement which it is meant to replace is, "Two classes may have exactly the same members and yet be different classes." which is a false statement, when referring to a single context. The difference is in the relations between the class and all other classes which exist in the same context.. This context-dependence is a fact of reality, independent of whether "context" is part of the RDFS vocabulary or not. I think it is counter-productive for RDFS to pretend that "context" does not exist, just because it's not in the current RDFS vocabulary. Let me tell you why I "come on so strong". I have been studying knowledge representation for 30 years. I designed the first version of the KR language 6 years ago. In the last 6 years, I have refined the language as I applied it to many different domains. During this process, I have solved many of the problems which RDF-interest is discussing today. ============ Dick McCullough knowledge := man do identify od existent done knowledge haspart list of propositionReceived on Friday, 22 November 2002 03:28:12 UTC

Although Packers receiver Donald Driver is 37 years old and appears to be slowing down, he doesn't sound like he has any doubt that he'll be playing in Green Bay this season.
Driver said on ESPN Radio that he believes he has another year or two with the Packers, and then he'll retire.
"I'll be in Green Bay. I'm not going anywhere," Driver said, via ESPNMilwaukee.com. "I've always said I want to retire as a Packer, I think the organization knows that, so we're going to come together. We're going to make a decision. One, two more years, and then I'll put my cleats on the shelf and sit back in Dallas and relax. It's family."
Driver's current contract calls for him to get a $1.5 million roster bonus on the first day of training camp and a $2.6 million salary that, because he's a vested veteran, would be guaranteed if he's on the roster for Week One, and he's just not worth that kind of money anymore. But Driver's agent, Jordan Woy, has said they're in touch about restructuring the deal, and Driver doesn't sound like a man who's going to balk at taking a pay cut.
So Driver is likely to remain in Green Bay. Even though, at this point, he's no better than their fifth-best receiver.

The article that distracted me was about William Cowper Brann, who was described as "the most controversial and widely read Texan of his day." After serving as chief editorial writer on the Houston Post, he moved to Austin where he founded the Iconoclast, a journal that by the end of 1894, its first year of publication, had a circulation of 100,000. In effect, Brann was something like a pre-blogging version of a blogger.
Brann took on Texas Baptists in his writings, and Texas Baptists didn't like it. Not one bit. Brann paid a high price. The lesson: Don't mess with Texas Baptists.
Nowadays, I see so much of Texas Baptists' complicity in clergy sex abuse and cover-ups, and so much of Texas Baptists' bullying and intimidation tactics against those who speak out about abuse that, sometimes, I think some Texas Baptists couldn't possibly get any badder if they tried. But then I ponder the long history of connections between Texas Baptists and the Texas Klan. And then I run across an article like this one about Brann. And then I remember just how deeply entrenched violence actually is in the institutionalized heart of Texas Baptists.
From "Bane of the Baptists:"
"What readers relished most was the Iconoclast's running war with Waco, Baylor, and the Baptists. To Brann, that countrified Trinity exemplified Victorian hypocrisy in its most splendid combination. When local preachers thundered against prizefighting, Brann wrote, 'If Corbett and Fitzsimmons were to fight in Dallas today – without admission fee – Waco, the religious hub of the world, would be depopulated. Half the preachers of Texas would go early to secure front seats.'"
A prominent religious leader of the day "christened Brann 'Apostle of the Devil.' The name stuck, and Baptists began to pray for deliverance from that journalistic scourge. . . ."
"Then Antonia Teixeira came along…. . A Brazilian missionary student at Baylor, Antonia boarded with Baylor's president, the Reverend Dr. Rufus C. Burleson. While there, she became pregnant. In the summer of 1895 H. Steen Morris, a relative of Burleson's, was arrested and charged with her rape. Brann put two and two together, and it came up 'Baptists and a despoiled innocent." He could ask for no better cause.
"'Baylor,' Brann wrote, would 'stink forever in the nostrils of Christendom – it is damned to everlasting fame.' It was as if the university itself had committed the rape. Baptists and Baylor tried to defend their honor while Brann exploited the issue for two years. . . .
"It was only a matter of time before Baylor sympathizers would act. When Brann proposed the erection of a monument commemorating Baylor's taking 'an ignorant little Catholic as raw material' and getting 'two Baptists as the finished product,' Baylor loyalists figured they had had enough.
"On a Saturday afternoon in October 1897, Brann was abducted at gunpoint and driven to the Baylor campus for a lesson in humility. Beaten and threatened with worse, he was chased off campus. A week later he was caned and horsewhipped by a father-and-son team of Baylor partisans. Brann began to carry a gun and took shooting lessons. Six months later he got his chance.
"Brann was to take a well-earned vacation in the spring of 1898. He and his business manager were downtown buying railroad tickets when from behind them stepped Tom Davis, a local real estate investor and vocal detractor of Brann. Davis drew his pistol and shot at the lanky editor. Brann whirled, returning fire. The two emptied their six-shooters into each other as the late afternoon crowd stampeded. Moments later Davis was lying in a pool of blood, and Brann – shot in the groin, foot, and back – slid to the ground. He died early the next morning. Davis, hit six times, died soon after Brann.
"No one has given Texas Baptists much trouble since."
Some things have changed since Brann's time, but a lot of things haven't. To this day, people don't tend to give Texas Baptists much trouble, which helps to explain why stories like the mega-scandal at the Prestonwood Baptist mega-church can so easily get swept under the rug with no accountability for the cover-uppers.______________________________

Previous Challenge Entry (Level 4 – Masters)
Topic: The Family Reunion (06/05/08)
TITLE: Before It's Too Late
By Linda Germain
Anna balanced the awkward pictorial chronicle on the table made especially to reach across her tall bed. Smudged, ill-fitting, out of date glasses slipped down her nose as if trying to get away from what they did not want her to see. Without warning, as always, sleep covered her like a warm blanket and she lapsed easily into that old familiar and strangely accurate dream.
A young girl with a new cropped hair-do that was all the rage ran towards Anna. She had the bluest eyes, and tiny freckles across her nose. It was Cousin Gilda.
"Yoo-Hoo, Anna, come sit with Melody and me. There's tons of food."
Anna, a recluse by nature, hated these relative reunions she was forced to attend year after weary year. In the dream, just as in real life, her parents and grandmother always crawled out of the old Tin Lizzie Ford and jumped right into the throes of gossip and have-you-heards. She considered her mother's insistence that she come along a form of torture, and vowed she would never attend one of these awful forced family feedings once she grew up.
The three cousins played Croquet or Bad Mitten. Once in a while they escaped to the town's only picture show. That's where the acting bug bit Anna and she succumbed to its poison, ending up as a fairly well-known actress in Hollywood.
Over the years, Gilda and Melody sent pictures and announcements and gushy Christmas letters about their perfect lives, but Anna rarely responded. She watched their children mature with each family reunion picture the faithful cousins sent to the painted and air-brushed star. Their tidy little picket-fenced lives bored her. She had money and recognition and a mansion overlooking the ocean.
A loud noise of some kind jolted Anna awake. She squinted for a few minutes trying to remember her location. The moldy whiff of the scrap book brought her back to the task at hand. A piece of ragged memory nagged at her to turn the pages and recall why she had thought she hated to be with such kind and sweet people…her people.
"Oh my, I just can't remember where I saw that…"
Anna was used to talking out loud to herself. After a few more minutes of careful inspection of each page, she slapped her hand on the book and exclaimed to no one, "Aha! I knew it. There it is."
In a black and white group shot of a tightly packed and serious looking clan, the brooch fairly sparkled on the chain around her mother's neck. It was a unique and expensive piece of jewelry handed down to Anna. Years turned into decades but she was sure Gilda kept the brooch after she had borrowed it for some special occasion.
Anna found Gilda's wedding photograph and had a weak moment of appreciation as she sighed, "She really was quite lovely."
Then she espied the brooch on a pink ribbon resting against the satin and lace of the flowing white dress. Noisy exclamations shot out of her indignant mouth.
"There it is again! THIEF! I'll never forgive you!"
A uniformed attendant dashed in to see why Anna was putting up such a fuss all by herself. The old lady's eyes bulged and her face flashed deep red. When she stopped sputtering, the aide handed a letter to her.
Anna, ever the drama queen, yelled, "You read it to me. I'm having trouble seeing."
The calm employee cleared her throat and began.
"Dear Cousin, you're invited to our last family reunion. My mother, your cousin Gilda, is dying and she had hoped to see you and the lovely brooch once more. She says you have it."
Anna put her hand to her throat, as if she were chocking. Her fingers felt something familiar hanging around her neck. Tears of shame blistered her old craggy face. There was only one thing she could do but she didn't have much time left.
"Quickly, somebody come and help me get ready. I have some people waiting and I must go."
In the end, it was a good thing.

It is truly discouraging for all those individuals, who are unable to use the loan within the span of the emergency from these personal loan offering businesses that not permit the poor credit cases to use for your loan. In this manner, until they acquire some quantity throughout the urgencies bad credit cases need to be delinquent for very long time. They occasionally run lacking the total amount to be able to solve the issues although these folks possess the permanent work yet. Thus, such consumers have to use some immediate approval of account the moment possible. Thus, the introduction of fast payday pozyczki w uk dla polakow for poor credit has changed the life span of the worst credit holders since the account is also catered by the bank towards the bad credit holders. However the damaging lenders should be getting for filling the loan application from the membership.
They are unable to obtain the immediate account when they do not possess the requirements. Thus, it is must for those candidates to really have the requirements which are listed below;
- One should be getting the nationality of UK.
- One should be getting the age over 18 years.
- One keeping bank account number or should be getting the 6 months old present.
- One should be getting even more than that or the permanent work going back 3 months.
The total amount begins within the selection of £80 to £750 that may be received within 24 hours. In most, the whole unwanted financial crunches could be straightened out using the aid of the total amount. The lending company does not do the confirmation of the applicants' credit. Thus, worst credit ratings are not verified. In this manner, bankruptcy, region court judgments, standard debts, individual voluntary agreement, missing of all that and payments. Since the procedures are countable the price of attention moves just a little huge. Therefore, obtain the loan form to get the minute account within 24 hours and complete it-up. By getting the assistance of fast payday loans for bad credit unwanted financial crises could be grounded out. Those loans' support may be worth remembering since the necessary account as well as the accepted are in to the candidates within round the clock's palm. Poor credit cases and low-security cases can obtain the immediate account without engaging in any kind of tedious tasks.

Recently I was asked by UK medical negligence solicitors Your Legal Friend to talk about my pregnancy experiences, to help raise awareness of quality maternity care. In my eyes, good maternity care is an essential factor in having an enjoyable pregnancy but unfortunately for a lot of people, this is something they are denied. My personal care wasn't bad but it certainly is not something I would write home about.
My first encounter with maternity care was very early on in my pregnancy at around 5 weeks. I'd had a bleed, I am not going to beat around the bush here but bleeding in early pregnancy put me in a dark place and tainted my whole pregnancy. The care I received at the time made the situation ten times worse. Despite making around seven phone calls and having two doctors appointments I was simply told "it's very normal" despite the bleeding continuing for a week. That's one week I spent mourning the loss of my baby, I genuinely thought I had lost him. At one of my doctor's appointments, I saw a nurse who I quote said "it's very normal, but even if it were a miscarriage there is nothing we can do anyway" – I just wanted a scan to know what was going on either way. Eventually, I got my scan when I had to go to the doctors for a third time after a large bleed with expected ectopic pregnancy. This is what annoys me the most – what if it were ectopic? Why wasn't it taken seriously straight away?
Anway, my little grain of rice was absolutely fine so I was assigned a midwife. My midwifery care was okay, we all got on well but the experience never felt as personal as I had imagined and I never felt very informed. I remember asking whether I should be having a flu jab at one point because it had never been offered to me and whenever I asked a question I was told to bank it for my antenatal classes which is something I never actually managed to attend due to Rory being a little early.
My labour had its problems, but the staff were not it. Some of the midwives were a little unsympathetic but to be honest I expected this. When the decision was made that I needed an emergency cesarian I was glad to have my midwife Lorraine. She was a bit of a love her or hate her type, I think she rubbed my mum and husband up the wrong way but I loved her 'no nonsense' approach, she made me feel really confident. She had her shit together and I liked that she seemed to know what she was doing. The staff, doctors and surgeons that were part of my emergency cesarian were faultless and I think this is the first time I am taking a step back to appreciate them. They were all incredibly friendly and kind, doing everything in their power to make Rich and I feel comfortable, ease out fears and ultimately deliver Rory safely. Once he was here, they looked after me well and supported Rory and my bonding process as quickly as they could. They were all incredible people and excellent at their jobs.
Although I didn't realise it at the time, my aftercare was abysmal. I had suffered a traumatic labour and there was very little acknowledgement of that. I felt like I was being really dramatic or that it was just me that felt the way that I did post section. I wasn't visited by my health visitor until about 10 days after birth where they dropped in some bottle sterilisation advice ( a bit late really?!!). My mental state wasn't helped by the fact that I was incredibly poorly after labour. I'd lost a lot of blood during labour and was very anaemic which also kept being overlooked. I would often be told I may need a blood transfusion but left appointments with the advice of "eat more red meat". One night I was faint and had bad heart palpitations and was told by my GP the following day (the same brilliant one who got me my early pregnancy scan when I was bleeding) that I'd had a heart murmur and should have been given blood after my operation.
As time went on, I learnt more and more about other cesarian mothers having a really hard time mentally and I joined support forums. I did this research off my own back and later learnt that there is free counselling with the NHS specifically for traumatic births. No one really checked in with my mental state or offered any advice or support. Those first few weeks I felt incredibly isolated and lonely off the back of my experience and I don't feel I was offered the mental support I required. I am incredibly supportive of the NHS and think they're amazing, but I do think they miss a trick when it comes to postpartum support and care. I desperately needed someone to tell me that I went through something horrible and that it was okay to feel really really sad about it, it was okay to envy people that had lovely birth stories and that it was okay to cry about it. I wanted someone to tell me I wasn't being stupid and that I certainly wasn't alone in my feelings.

Stuck in Fresno away from the lucrative and challenging IT positions I have been accustomed to, I wanted to return to the Bay Area or another more metropolitan area. But my parents were aging and needed my help. My brother had passed away and my sister was in the Los Angeles area, and my daughter was studying Cognitive Science at UCSC. So Eileen and I felt bound to stay in Fresno.
Then a recruiter called. Recruiters typically call. However, this recruiter asked if it would be a problem for me to live and work in Fresno. It was not only Ok, but it was ideal.

I am currently a preferred provider on many insurance panels, including BCBS, Regence, Premera, Cigna, First Choice, Humana, Magellan, Medicare, MHN, Optum, and others. At your request, I am happy to submit claims to your insurance company for reimbursement. I also accept cash fee for service clients, for those who do not wish to use their insurance.
Not involving your insurance company allows you to receive several important advantages:
By not involving your insurance company, your private personal information stays in my office. I'm the only person who has access to it except under specific circumstances, which are outlined in my Office Policies and discussed in our first session.
Insurance companies will often authorize only a certain limited number of sessions and can arbitrarily stop paying for sessions for a variety of reasons. Insurance companies make money by getting you out of therapy as soon as possible. I want us to make that decision, not a corporation.
Your Child's Future
An insurance provider will require you to receive a psychiatric diagnosis in order to receive treatment (e.g. major depressive disorder, generalized anxiety disorder, bi-polar disorder). Your personal health information record stays with you forever, and the information is open to review. As an adult, your child may be challenged in their pursuit of career goals, and may be required to produce evidence demonstrating their capacity if they have ever received a psychiatric diagnosis. Paying privately avoids this risk.
Fees vary, depending on services. During the initial phone consultation, we will discuss your needs, my approach, and determine if we are a good fit for each other. A discussion about the fees and services will also take place.
Payment Options
Cash, check, and credit cards are accepted. Payment is due in full at the time of service.
Reduced Fee/Sliding Scale
We offer reduced fee and sliding scale services for children on a limited basis. Please contact me for details.
Cancellation Policy
If you are unable to attend your scheduled therapy appointment, please provide 24 hour notice to avoid being charged for the appointment.

The last week of this month was an important week for the Sisters and staff of the Whanganui Archives of the Sisters of St Joseph as they hosted the biennial meeting of Josephite Historians and Archivists from Australia and NZ.
The Historians' Conference featured a History Day, which was highlighted by the presentation of papers on the chosen topic 'Josephites and Music'. From music lessons in the early outback days to church music and on to school operettas, these papers covered the powerful thread of music in the lives of Josephites and their pupils and associates.
On the day following the Historians' Conference and before the Archivists' Conference began, participants of both groups made a journey following in the footsteps of three Sisters of St Joseph when they travelled in 1883 to Hiruharama/Jerusalem up the Whanganui River to help establish a school there. The visitors experienced the first part of the journey to Upokongaro by river boat, with Kaumatua Morvin Simon introducing them to the historical features along the way.
Transferring to coach for the remainder of the journey, they were able to view the various marae/villages and the beauty of the awa/river and native bush. Of special interest were Parikino and Koriniti Marae , where the early Sisters spent an overnight, before rejoining the waka/canoes to continue their journey.
On arrival at Hiruharama/Jerusalem, the group experienced a powhiri/welcome to the Patiarero Marae, and in sharing a korero/talk discovered links between the Marae and Tasmania.
After lunch, the Sisters of Compassion showed the visitors the beautifully renovated church of St Joseph, and the Convent built by their founder Mother Aubert.
The visitors were interested in the newly completed history panels in the Convent which told the story of Suzanne Aubert. Compassion Sister Jo Gorman and Josephite Sister Margaret McKenna of Queensland are shown discussing some of Mother Aubert's letters
The group then journeyed back down river to the Kaiwhaiki Marae where a very warm welcome awaited them. Time together after the welcome became a celebration of the many connections of the Kaiwhaiki people with the Sisters of St Joseph over many years.
Of particular interest was the heritage of music and song, and a recognition and honouring of those who had helped keep this tradition alive particularly in the place known as the 'Valley of Voices'.
Archivists were then joined by staff of Archives New Zealand for an enriching seminar day. Together with participants from other local archives, they learned about disaster preparedness and how to care for audio-visual materials and equipment. They were also introduced to the Community Archive website.
"A thoroughly practical day,†said Sister Catherine Shelton, "and a wonderful week of mutual exchange of stories and ideas.â€

But if you didn't already know, you should mark the 1st of September on your calenders, because the doors will open at 2.00PM!
Sephora will be giving out vouchers to the first 150 people who enter the store. The first 50 will get vouchers valued at RM100 and the following 100 will be given RM50 vouchers. So bring your friends and family, because there is no limit on how many vouchers you can use per receipt! ;)
They will be giving out mystery gifts for every signup, and membership is free with any purchase! There is no limit on how many people can become a member, so even if you miss out on the vouchers, you still have something else to look forward to.
Not to mention, there will be a 10% discount off all Sephora products... But you wanna know what is the best thing about Sephora?
Their prices will remain the same as their West Malaysia counterpart. This is a big deal because we deserve equal treatment!!! It pisses me off everytime I look at a tag and see that whatever I wanted is so much cheaper in KL. The price difference of all the products I've ever bought is probably enough to buy me a year's worth of return tickets to KL! I'm obviously exaggerating, but that's how it feels - right?!!
Anyway, what cosmetic brand are you excited to see in Kuching? I can't wait to get my hands on Urban Decay and NYX so I guess I'll see you there!

How to turn program strategy into effective execution
The ability to go from strategy to execution is essential for the successful delivery of business critical programs. Organisations are placing more emphasis and resources on good program management.
The team has been planning for months, and the strategy appears to be watertight. But, at the final and most crucial stages, your program falls apart. It's something that happens all too often – around two-thirds of programs collapse, in fact, and many of those that do make it through are late.
The biggest reason for this? Poor execution.
Handled ineffectively, these programs can be a real drain on resources – or, even worse, a complete waste of time altogether. In order to get it right and maximise your return on investment, strategy must flow seamlessly into execution, with the same attention given to both.
It needn't be difficult, either. The tips below will certainly help.
Make responsibilities clear
Successful programs are never the work of just one person – they require integrated teams of people, all pulling in the same direction, each with their own responsibilities. There should always be one member at the top, however; someone who is accountable.
This leader, who will ideally have program management experience, must have the capacity to make this program their main focus. It's no good if they're more concerned with their own job spec, and can only dedicate a small portion of their time to the program execution.
Ensure as well that the person accountable has easy access to everything that is happening, and that all other team members have a clear line of contact. They need to do more than just oversee – they must be involved.
Value communication
The importance of contact and communication cannot be overstated. Your team needs to work in absolute harmony with one another, on the same wavelength with the same overarching objectives.
Strong communication should also be the top priority when choosing your program leader. Their role, more than just telling people what to do, will be to act as a link between the CEO and the program. They must be ready and able to have frank conversations about what's going on, what's needed and whether the work is on schedule or not.
Someone already in a director role may have the kind of relationship that could be useful in this situation.
Respect everyone's skills
While the overall goal will be relevant to everyone, each member of the team will have their own objectives to focus on, relating, of course, to their individual skills. And, for the team to be effective as a whole, everyone must bring something different to the table. It's crucial that these skills and responsibilities are respected.
The program manager may believe something should be done in a certain way, but they must be able to trust the expert. They're in this position for a reason – harness their power instead of micro-managing.
Appreciate the importance of program management
Above all, give program management – and more specifically, execution – the attention it deserves. It shouldn't just be a concept that comes up every time a new program starts. It's something that takes time to master and it must be considered at all times.
The ability to go from strategy to execution effectively, not just in the technical workstreams but across all parts of the business, is hugely valuable; especially at a time when businesses are searching frantically for ways to differentiate themselves and get ahead of the competition. An increasing number of organisations are placing it alongside finance and marketing in terms of importance, with some even allocating permanent teams to it. You may not need to go quite so far, but take inspiration at least.
Don't be afraid to bring in help, either. Especially, if you're facing a complex, business-critical program challenge. Smaller companies can still give the necessary attention to program management without stretching their resources or asking people to take on responsibility beyond their skills and experience. Costs of delay are orders of magnitude larger than any fee you pay for expert help.

The Compassion of Dr. Ron Paul
James Williams of Matagorda County, Texas recounts a touching true story. Living in a still prejudice Texas In 1972, his wife had a complication with her pregnancy. No doctors would care for her or deliver their bi-racial child. In fact one of the hospital nurses called the police on James.
Dr. Ron Paul was notified and took her in, delivering their stillborn baby. Because of the compassion of Dr. Ron Paul, the Williams' never received a hospital bill for the delivery.
Ron Paul views every human being as a unique individual, afforded the rights endowed by our creator and codified in the Bill of Rights.

"All these people were still living by faith when they died. They did not receive the things promised; they only saw them and welcomed them from a distance, admitting that they were strangers and aliens on earth." Hebrews 11:13...."The name of Jesus should be the food we eat and the air we breathe." Chris Tiegreen
Aliens from outer space have been a pop culture phenom since the time of H.G. Wells. Movies and TV programs have abounded with just such a theme. There are not a few who fully believe that aliens live among us today. In college, I had several friends who fully believed that Jesus Himself was an alien. Now here's a shock, though it shouldn't be for those who are His; they were and are right....but not at all in the way that they think. Jesus was an alien, and He lived among us as one. So do His disciples. Not aliens from another planet or solar system, but from another realm, the realm of the Kingdom of God. A realm that is fully alien to all that is grounded in the fallen system of this world. They live within a value system and mindset that is completely alien, the opposite to all that this world holds dear. Doing so, living so, makes them "strangers and aliens" in the midst of that world. Here's the question for us. Do we live a life that marks us strangers and aliens in this fallen world? Or, do we have little if any easily conforming to it? Are you an alien?
Here's something else. Jesus wasn't just an alien to the lost world He came to, He was an alien to the very "church" that should have been eagerly looking for Him. In a sense they were, but they expected someone who looked and acted very much like them. He didn't...at all, and so as His Word says, "He came unto His own, and His own received Him not." Two thousand years have not changed things very much. The church still looks for Jesus to come in ways and character that it defines. It happens each week in our fellowships, our organizational meetings, in most everything we do. We too often have expectations in what He'll do and be. He has to stick to our traditions and ideas. Whatever might be "alien" to them will be suspect. If this is true of the One who fully manifests the Kingdom of God, will it be less so for those of His who do the same? Both in the world and the church?
Have you ever come across a person that you could easily tell "wasn't from around here?" Everything about them sets them apart from the status quo. Language, habits, and behavior. This is to be the case for the people of God, of His Kingdom. We are to live in such a way that clearly marks as "not being from around here." Those who heard Christ often remarked that "no one has ever spoken as this Man does." Or lived as He did...or died and rose as He has. And now lives as He does. As He lives now through those who are His. Strangers and aliens. They don't fit in. They never get comfortable. And they long for the realm that is really their home. Pilgrims passing through, speaking a language this world has never known, and inviting others to join them, to become fellow aliens, strangers, and citizens of another place. His place. Are we among them?
Being such a one will cost. Hebrews tells us that the world is not worthy of such, though they themselves are so focused on His Kingdom that they never think that. They just live for Him....as strangers and aliens....Many, deeply rooted in this world, often say of them that, "They're so heavenly minded that they're no earthly good." Words spoken in ignorance. Someone else said that he hoped to be so heavenly minded as to be of much earthly good. The natives of this world are powerless to give the help this realm so desperately needs. Only He, working through His strangers and aliens, is able to do so. Will you and I be among them? Are we among them now?

Coming back from the Wyre today. Missus says she wants to stop off at the tesco express for some GOT popcorn. ??Posted 5 years ago
I'm my usual compliant self and head for it. At the last minute she says. Oh! Just go to the main tesco. It should still be open.
Dutifully and blindly, I make a B line for it and head straight down the ramp to the parking lot.
Needless to say, I quickly stopped as my canondale ripped down the low height swinging board thingy.
What made it worse is that it wrecked the front wheel and snapped off my seat pin.
I'm feeling pretty dumb about the whole thing and after providing my details to the store manager, I slinked off to mope and ponder the financial consequences. No doubt they will be huge and enduring.Garry_LagerSubscriber
Damn – that's bad. I would easily do the same thing which is why I wouldn't trust myself with a bike up top.
Sounds like you might have got away with it, to an extent, if the frame is OK? Or are you concerned that Tesco man's swinging board is going to dent your insurance premium?Posted 5 years agoSuperficialMember

A few years back I went Evans in Gatwick to "take a look". The mrs and kids decided they all wanted to come too.Posted 5 years ago
While I was there I was taken by a trek remedy 9, took it for a little spin and decided I had to have it and bought the bike. I then realised that it wouldn't fit in the car as the family had come with me and it's a good 1.5 hours round trip at that time of the day, so I bought a Thule roof mounted bike rack too.
Got out to the car park fitted the bike rack and loaded up the bike. Drove off just thinking I cannot wait to get out on the new bike, when I noticed a couple of the staff waving as a car behind tooted me. I pulled up thinking I must have forgotten something, when I got out I heard them shouting "watch out for the barrier!" 😳
I was very embarrassed, but far more grateful.bolMember
Yep, I've done it. Hit a fixed hight barrier pulling into a forest car park that I hadn't been to before. It peeled the roof rack off the top of my new car, but did surprisingly little damage to my bike, other than trashing the forks and a shifter. Theorist it was seeing it all happen in slow motion in the rear view mirror. Easily done. Haven't done it since.Posted 5 years agoglobaltiMember
OK when there are people in the car you've no choice but I often see cyclists in EMPTY cars with bikes displayed like trophies on the roof where they can be seen by thieves, stolen, hit by barriers and soaked in salty water. Not to mention the increase in fuel consumption. Mad. We regularly get 3 bikes plus 3 people safely inside our Passat estate and we've even had 4+4 on occasions.Posted 5 years agohaggis1978Member
I've done this as well. DeKerf mountainbike. Bike was fine but Thule roof rack totalled. Sound.Posted 5 years agohonourablegeorgeMember
I've done that with me mate's bike on the roof. The barrier was one that hangs from posts on two chains. We heard the bang thought "Oh no" and got out of the car. We had hit the barrier, it swung up, cleared the bike and came down the other side. No damage to anything.
Was a pretty effective warning, not done it since.Posted 5 years agorowlapa1974Subscriber

You need something like this to hang off the rear view mirror:Posted 5 years ago
Did something similar. Was with canoes tho rather than bikes.
We have a courtyard sort of driveway with the garage opposite the house. Have a couple of washing lines strung between the two. Started reversing out. Line was left hanging down and heard a bang.
Thought "bugger, just pulled the washing line out the wall." Got out and it had ripped one roof bar completely off the car and bent the other one at the attachment points.
TLDR… Washing lines are actually quite strong. Don't drive at them.Posted 5 years agoaracerMember

On a family holiday a few years ago a mate of my brother in laws drove his year old Audi A4 into a low bridge with 4 bikes on top, result – 4 dead bikes and one written off car!Posted 5 years agocardoSubscriber
Nearly done this but without the bike, my faux pas was with our old camper van with the plastic pop top. We left the campsite, had a bite to eat came back to site quite late not realising they had pulled across a barrier to stop people nicking caravans… The noise of barrier hitting plastic roof and ripping off the skylight was pretty horrible and made a bit of a mess…. my how we laughed.Posted 5 years agojezketleySubscriber
Been there twice. Once I was driving, second my wife, makes an awful gut wrenching noise. Second time, bike was fine, but cost 950 to fix the gauges in the roof of the car. No more roof rack for me now! We can't be trusted. Bike now goes in the car.Posted 5 years agoprojectMember
Tesco Chester a woman tesco driver drove one of their delivery vans up the ramp and destroyed the whole overhanging roof of the car park.
Male Asda delivery van driver reversed under our low arch smashed the back of his van then blamed us,despite signs, large steel scalping bar and hi viz tape on bar.
Get a mirror from halfords and fix to dash board with blue tack pointing towards roof, youll know whats happening oop there then.Posted 5 years agoDeveron53Member
Somewhere online I saw a hinged, spring loaded sign that sticks on the bonnet with magnets. As you drive along, the wind blows it flat, but as you slow down, it pops up and warns you about 'toys on top'. looked very handy.Posted 5 years ago
I always buy a car that will get at least 2 people and 2 bikes in. My car is a motorised bike storage shed.hjghg5Member
Motorised bike storage shed pretty much describes my car too. Except sometimes it's filled with other stuff and the bikes don't fit in (mainly camping stuff) so we pondered roof or tow bar. I ended up going for the tow bar option for precisely this reason. If there's room they'll still go inside, but it's nice to have another option if the car's full or they're stupidly muddy.Posted 5 years agoBasilMember
My speciality is reversing over my own front wheels.Posted 5 years ago
Thinking of getting a string and running it down the inside of my coat sleeves just like me mittenssimons_nicolai-ukMember
Ah. The front wheel thing. Once drove over mine then reversed back to see what it was. Testament to the magic that is wheels – 2 new spokes and a new disc and I'm still riding it.Posted 5 years agofatsimon mk2Member
First time I used my roof bar mount I was paranoid of this very thing so stuck tape on steering wheel and passenger side of dash with "bike on roof" written on it done it ever since so far so good
That's jinxed it!!! 😀Posted 5 years agopedladMember
Done it on a barrier over bridge in own village 😳Posted 5 years ago
Bike fine but roof bars pulled backwards along car so it looked like someone had tried to open the roof with a giant can opener…..and it trashed the boot…..and the rear lights……and the back window. I may have said a rude word.
