Barber Vintage Motorsports Museum and the Lotus Party
Posted on: April 10, 2010 | Comments (1) | Race Tracks |
I used to work at a museum, so I was really excited about seeing the Barber Vintage Motorsports Museum while here for round 3 of the IZOD IndyCar Series. When you love museums and racing, it's pretty cool to visit a place like Barber – a picturesque race setting and a museum filled with vintage motorcycles, Formula One cars and more. They're all stunning pieces of art, in their own right.
The collection is massive. The museum has jammed a lot of pieces into the space. At first it might seem overwhelming, but they've nailed the various aspects of exhibition design and it's an engaging experience. Each piece seems to hold it's own, despite being surrounded by impressive objects. The museum is worth a road trip (a few hours from Atlanta or Nashville) – not to mention, you get to experience the incredible track itself and beautiful, manicured grounds. This place is a real gem. Ask Will Power.

It was an obvious choice which to submit to the competition, really. The school had an old Biology lab that was used for dissections back when the syllabus called for it. There were jars upon jars of stuff in chloroform or some other preservatives, and a back room full of stuffed, and in some cases rare, animals. Given the long history of the school, I can see how some of these specimens got collected on the way... Much of the animals in the jars had to be thrown away because the preservation process wasn't good enough for archival. The lab is no longer in existence since the renovation of the building it was in. You can still find the one remaining exhibit in the school, an extremely long snake skeleton, along with other artifacts in the archives.Taken by aoizumi with a Canon SLR loaded with b/w film film in Singapore, Singapore.

I am a marathoner interested in pursuing cycling. The only bike experience I have is the stationary bikes at the gym and when I was a girl I would ride around the neighborhood with the "pink elephant" as I called it that had the pink strings hanging off the handlebars. I would like to get a bike that I can ride around the city though. So I am asking all of you professional cyclists out there what bike I should get to start out with and any other helpful advice you can give me would be great! Thanks!

Hi there,
I used to row before moving into cycling and at the time I lived in london and I started with a moutain bike. I found being more upright in the traffic was better and having to stop at traffice lights all the time, it was much easier to manage. If you just want to use it for commuting or riding round the city, then a hybrid would be great, but given that you have run marathons, is there a chance you might want to do more than this? if so then I think a moutain bike with skinny tryres would be better as it gives you more potential use long term as you could use it off road as well, where as a hybrid won't be good off road.
Hope that helps

It seems like a mountain bike or a hybrid would be perfect for you. I suggest getting something such as a Giant Boulder SE, because it is built like a tank and will last forever. I have one, and i have put it through so much. I haven't ever replaced a part on it (except cables, and chains). If you would rather have a hybrid, I would prefer the Giant Roam.

Your doctor may suggest radiation to treat uterine sarcoma if any of these statements is true for you:
You are not able to have surgery. In rare cases, you may have only radiation. This may destroy all the cancer if the tumor is small.
You are getting ready to have surgery for uterine sarcoma. Radiation before surgery may help shrink the tumor. This makes it easier to remove. Having radiation before surgery is called neoadjuvant therapy.
You recently had surgery for uterine sarcoma. Having radiation after surgery is called adjuvant therapy. This can help lower the chance of the cancer coming back.
You are getting chemotherapy or hormone therapy to treat uterine sarcoma. In this case, radiation destroys cancer cells to ease symptoms.
You have a large tumor, or the cancer has spread. In this stage, radiation may ease your symptoms.
There are two main ways of getting radiation:
External radiation comes from a machine. The radiation is pointed to the skin over the tumor. This is the most common type used for treating uterine sarcoma.
Internal radiation involves placing radioactive material inside you, near the location of the tumor. This is also called brachytherapy. It can help lower the risk of the cancer returning without adding the risks associated with radiating your whole pelvis.
You will talk with a doctor who specializes in both cancer and radiation. This kind of doctor is called a radiation oncologist. This doctor decides what your treatment will be and how long it will last. During your visit, ask what you can expect to feel during and after the treatment.

[LISTEN] Jessie J – We Found Love (Rihanna Cover)
Jessie J covered Rihanna's We Found Love for the BBC Radio 1 Live Lounge 17th Feb 2012.
[LAVISH] 'Bollywood Nights' Weekend Recap
Thanks for spicing it up with us for our first bollywood night at LAVISH! It was a huge success and we had a blast putting the whole themed event together! Although themed events require much more time, effort and money, it's so worth it when 12:30 strikes and the 'stars are aligned' for a quick 5 minutes:
1. The decor
2. The packed club
3. People dancing to the bollywood jam
4. The bollywood show starts
5. …And then the crowd goes wild!
Most people don't even recollect this "magical moment" (LOL), but I soak in those 5 minutes like no other and that makes the extra effort worth it! Normally mid-January is when LAVISH does the 'Garden Of Eden' party but we wanted to mix it up a bit and I couldn't resist Bollywood! Saturday started out with a shopping trip to purchase pink and orange fabric. With the help of my good friends Jake & Pablo we managed to put it up in 3 hours – and this time none of the decor got ripped down by the end of the night – SCORE!
During decorating hours I got a text from Cardiff (local drag queen) who wanted to open for Cassandra. I thought why not, this could entertaining…and it sure was! When her Sari (Indian dress) started falling off all I could think was "shit, I hope no one is getting offended". With that said, Cardiff continues to grow as an drag performer…
In cased you missed (or couldn't remember) Cassandra Moore's performance, Ben Clouthier captured the amazing show! The beautiful outfits were custom made especially for 'Bollywood Nights', and the Bollywood style performance to Rihanna's smash hit 'We Found Love' got people wild!

I think it is safe to say, Rihanna has taken over TMA for the night! I can't express how much I'm enjoying her new album 'Talk That Talk'… every lyric, every hook, every beat … Its all incredibly infectious! Although Rihanna has added 'We Found Love' to her current tour set list, this is the first full length, live performance I have seen of the song.

Ordered new music for the new year from @heyrosetta and as soon as that drops, syncing it to my iPod for some long rides.
by Mark V on Dec 17, 2014 at 12:59 PM
After closing out my cyclocross season at Waves For Water's UCI event in Tacoma, I've had a chance to evaluate my equipment choices from this season. This time around I brought in a second bike, a Davidson D-Plus, that I fitted as a singlespeed (you can read about the design in Issue 19 of our downloadable magazine). All the little details on the bike were spot-on, allowing the components to function at their best, though there were only two significant deviations from my usual parts selection: brakes and tyres. For the moment I still remain faithful to cantilever brakes, but rather than Avid Shorty Ultimates I chose TRP's RevoX Carbon (to be reviewed in a separate post). The other change from my usual CX equipment was tubeless tyres. With an embarrassingly large personal stable of bikes and kit, I was eager to avoid cluttering my life and draining my finances with yet another single purpose tubular wheelset.
Like a tubular, a tubeless clincher tyre promised to allow low pressure in the CX races without pinch-flatting, yet without the laborious gluing ritual I could change out the treads each week if I so desired. And at the end of the season, the tubeless wheels could be reshod with commuter or gravel tyres, or maybe I leave the tubeless CX tyres on the wheels so I can go play around in the muddy woods this winter, free from the fear of damaging expensive tubular tyres on a casual outing. In contrast, my tubular CX hoops get cleaned and stored in wheelbags where they do nothing but take up space in my closet until next September. But promises are one thing, reality another.
The issue isn't finding rims that will work in a tubeless setup anymore. A few years ago CX tubeless-ready tyres were built for the rims/wheels engineered to match with road tubeless systems, similar to mtb's UST standard. This largely limited you to wheel-systems like Shimano. Or you could use Stan's NoTubes conversion kits on a regular rim, but often that meant a lot of effort and uncertainty to get just the right setup for the rim/tyre combination and avoid burping the tyre at low pressure. Now however there are numerous 700C rims being manufactured for either CX or 29er that mimic the easy-mounting NoTubes rim shape. These rims are often wider than typical "road tubeless" rims, giving a better shape and more support to a CX tyre's larger casing volume . And thankfully for cantilever holdouts like myself, rims like the Hed Belgium Plus and Velocity A23 allow one to introduce tubeless technology into our race gear without requiring disc brakes and a new frameset and components to match. But all these developments have been slow to become broadly established in the market. The selection of tubeless-ready tyres has yet to catch up, and perhaps the resourcefulness of cyclocross racers and mechanics is actually hurting the cause.
Unlike road tubeless systems, which require much more precision in design and manufacturing due to the far greater air pressure used, CX tubeless use has largely evolved out of individuals experimenting with their own equipment. Like MTB, cyclocrossers were converting existing equipment to tubeless by any means necessary in the beginning.
Step 1: buy a NoTubes kit with tape.
Step 2: mount some clincher tyre with sealant and see if holds air.
Step 3: unmount and add more tape, repeat Step 2.
Step 4: go out and ride. If tyre burps, walk home and repeat Step 2
Step 5: replace tyre with a different model, repeat Step 4
Step 6: burp tyre in a race; receive condescending look from guys running tubulars, repeat step 4
Why would tyre companies use their resources to develop competent tubeless CX when the racers seem willing to tolerate all manner of kludges? The big brands continue to sell their standard clincher tyres; if you want to run them tubeless, that's not their problem. The packaging clearly states that using sealant voids the tyre's warrantee.
To be fair, I don't really think that the industry is nefariously holding back properly engineered product, but they certainly go where the money is. A number of companies have finally started offering tubeless-ready cyclocross tyres, but only in a decidedly medium conditions variety, and by "medium conditions" I mean "for frequent use on pavement or gravel". The whole gravel grinder trend blew up just this past season, yet several tyre manufacturers are diving into 40mm plus tubeless ready gravel tyres. Where are the dedicated mud tyres? Maybe you don't need them for racing in California, but mud is the default for CX racing in New England and the PacNW. The big companies bank on OEM sales and hot new trends like the gravel grinder category when they develop clincher tyres.
Besides, everyone knows that the real racers inevitably choose tubulars when they get serious, right? The smaller companies, like Challenge and Dugast, that specialize in tubular cyclocross tyres make an effort to offer treads optimized for specific conditions, even different types of mud. With the cost of quality race wheels and tubulars multiplied by the number of potential race conditions, it doesn't take a genius to figure out that trying to always have the right setup for the races quickly spirals into a money-sucking vortex.
What racers need are tubeless-ready tyres that don't burp even at pressures below 25PSI, that mount easily without relying on luck and a heroic air-compressor, and come in a variety of tread types for actual cyclocross racing. It almost happened this year. Maxxis introduced their Mud Wrestler in 60tpi and 120tpi tubeless-ready versions, but not that many distributors were actually carrying them before the end of the season. Kenda, who make a very nice dry conditions/gravel tyre in the Happy Medium, showed a more mud-oriented version of their Kommando, called the Kommando X Pro, at Interbike 2013, but none of the distributors even have a sku# for them yet. However Hutchinson, an early proponent of tubeless CX, are on their third generation of tyres, and their Toro CX has been available for a season or so.
On the other hand, Michelin was a partner in developing the UST tubeless standard for mountain bikes, but they have made no effort in recent years to develop their cyclocross lineup in anyway, let alone introduce tubeless-ready versions. Specialty tyre maker Clement has expressed a desire to offer tubeless CX ever since the brand re-entered the market a few years ago, but that has yet to lead to anything. I know people who would kill to have their PDX tread in a fully tubeless-ready casing.
Next year I think that tubeless CX options will finally catch up, and in the very least I have found a tubeless setup that meets my requirements. More next time.

Patented rod-and-clamp design makes the bag-closure device very versatile
Ok, so it's not really a bike thing per se, but check this out: With 6 days left to order in time for Christmas with Prime, Amazon published their annual Stocking Stuffers with a Story feature and it includes an origin story about a household product my company makes, Clip-n-Seal.
We originally designed this to keep coffee and chips fresh at home, but people have found all kinds of other uses for them, including disposal of chemical waste in manufacturing processes, and even to seal testing apparatus in the space program.
Used in making fast, race wheel that I reviewed in our mag.
The application of Clip-n-Seal that most interests me, as a cyclist, is their use in wheel building. During PressCamp earlier this year, I met with Enve Composites and we discussed their latest wheels, and how they use Clip-n-Seal at the factory. I can't share the specifics, as it's propriety process, but Clip-n-Seals keep their resins and carbon fibers fresh.
Originally designed to keep chips fresh
As Amazon shared on their site today, Clip-n-Seals are a stocking stuffer with a story that has many more chapters to write, fresh beans to grind, and wheels to make.

Somehow at the last minute, the Pacific Northwest got their UCI-sanctioned cyclocross race. When the Deschutes Brewery Cup in Bend OR was cancelled mid-season, it looked like there wouldn't be a UCI race anywhere north of California all year. Luckily the guys who run Seattle-based MFG Cyclocross secured a sponsor in the form of Waves For Water, a nonprofit organization that works to provide clean water to communities in need worldwide. With a little help from the guys at Cross Revolution, a rival CX race organizer, MFG managed to deliver 2 days of racing this past weekend that attracted racers from all over the NW as well as places like Colorado. Hats off to all involved!
For me, that will be my last weekend of cyclocross racing, though I mostly missed out on the first half of the season. Instead of getting ready for racing at the end of the summer, I was breaking down a 31 year old bike shop. Long, relentless hours of packing and moving made riding my bike, let alone going to the races, into a whimsical daydream. My long-awaited Davidson D-Plus cyclocross bike was the last bike to be painted at that location, but I was too busy to build it up until after we completed move-out on Halloween. I assembled the frame with a 2x10 drivetrain for photos and then immediately rebuilt it as a no-compromise singlespeed race bike, thereby fulfilling the D-Plus design concept (you can read more about the design and fabrication in Issue 19 of our downloadable magazine).
Before the season began I had ambitions to double up on race days, entering both Cat4 and singlespeed events. The plan was to use my still-awesome Redline Conquest Carbon as my geared bike and the D-Plus for singlespeed. As it actually played out, I raced Cat4 at Silverlake and Magnuson Park; SSCX at Woodland Park, Frontier Park, Gig Harbor, and the first day of Waves-For-Water at Marymount Park, Tacoma. At Steilacoom on the second day of the UCI weekend, I finally managed to do the double, so now it's time to clean all the mud off my race wheels, return the D-Plus to a fully-geared mode, and reflect on what I have learned this season.
One thing I learned is that I don't like being at the back end of my fields. I've had good CX seasons in the past when I was consistently in with the top quarter of the finishers, but this fall I've been tail-end Tommy most of the time. The biggest difference is my lack of fitness. I have been lax in my training, spending too much time fixing other people's bikes and making poor use of my time. And I'm not getting any younger; from now on fitness won't be a happy accident. I'm kinda glad that CX season is over, because now I can concentrate on developing and implementing a training plan.
It wasn't pure humiliation though. I still have a decent finishing sprint in Cat4, and I am capable of racing twice in the same day. I expected to get trounced in the singlespeed races, especially in the races without separate "A" and "B" division. Lumping the fast racers and the race fodder into the same wave means that the field strings out right from the start, and the slower riders can at best hope to not get lapped by Craig Etheridge as he slays the singlespeed field yet again. Craig's stranglehold on the competition would be a lot more irritating if he wasn't the nicest guy you could ever hope to meet at a starting line or in the parking lot. No shit, the guy is so nice it's inhuman. Craig aside, a drubbing in the singlespeed division doesn't get me down, especially this season since I'm still getting a feel for gear selection. After 3 or 4 seasons, I am familiar with most of the courses, but I've never had to think about how I would set up the bike if I couldn't shift during the race.
The day before Woodland Park CX, I put a 36x17 on the bike, partially because that's what I could scrape together from my stash. With the bike shop closed, the pool of parts from which I could draw supplies had disappeared, but I found that ratio to work reasonably well for me at Woodland Park. At about 58 gear-inches, it's not a very tall gear, but I have always been a spinner on the road. And on the Redline's 1x10 setup, I use a 38T ring and spend most of the time in the lower gears. But even with that low gear I start to suffer on the longer climbs by the end of the race (another motivation for training). Still, even if I return to a competitive level of fitness, there is a practical limit of how much I can spin a low gear when the terrain is rutted and bumpy because you can't keep a smooth cadence while bouncing all over the place. In retrospect I wish I had tried out the BodyFloat suspension seatpost in a couple of the races. I had success using that post in gravel grinders last summer, but I have been hesitant to use it in a CX race since I don't feel confident about trying to remount the suspended saddle. For one thing, the saddle would be higher than normal without my weight on it, so I would need to leap a little higher as I remount, and then I'm worried that I might not stick the landing as the post sags under my downward inertia. By next fall I would like to have the fitness to move up to a 38x17 (~61 gear-inches), but later this month I plan to experiment with the BodyFloat at Marymoore, since that is one of the really bumpy courses that is readily accessible.
I learned to look at the bottom of my shoes. It's probably a good idea to start the CX season with fresh cleats for your shoes. I didn't check the condition of my cleats before Silverlake. I had problems staying clipped in, I flubbed the sprint when I inadvertently unclipped, and in the end gave away a placing that I had worked hard to gain.
Another learning adventure has been tubeless cyclocross tyres. My goal has been to find a trouble-free CX tyre that would perform well in stereotypical NW courses: muddy grass corners, deep mud, and loam. Last summer I discovered some great gravel tyres in the Kenda Happy Medium. A tubeless-ready version is available in 32mm and even the regular 35mm version works well in a tubeless conversion. Having the wider option in a dry conditions/gravel tyre is great on rutted descents from mountain passes, but the tubeless-ready tyres are frequently only available in the 33mm size to meet UCI regulations. Worse, manufacturers want to make sure that their tyres will not exceed 33mm width even on today's trendy wide rims. That means that the tyres actually measure significantly less than 33mm unless they are mounted on those wide rims. When it comes to cyclocross racing, pretty much the only time narrower tyres offer any benefit is if you want that skinny to give more space for mud to fall through on a frame with tight clearances. Since I'm racing in Cat4 or singlespeed, no one cares if my tyres are wider than regulation, but it's not so easy to take advantage of that without wider mud tyre options. I'll talk about my tubeless tyre revelation on another day, but in the end I did find a good tubeless CX tyre for Washington state.
For my Redline, I am using the Tufo Flexus Cubus 34 tubulars that I have had for the past few seasons. Tufo tyres may not be the lightest or most supple CX rubber around, but they are tough and long lasting. You do want to spend the money on the "Flexus" version of Tufo tyres, as the base version is like a garden hose. Tufo has recently updated the tread designs of both the mud-loving Cubus and the medium condition Primus. I suspect that the Primus had more room for improvement since it really suffered badly in wet conditions, whereas the Cubus' only real weakness might be a little excessive rolling resistance on hardpack or pavement. Regardless, I'm going to keep the older Tufos since they pre-date the UCI 33mm rule. Maybe they stretched a little over time, but those brick red lovelies measure 35mm as they are now. Monster truck grip, Cadallac ride. If the Cubus didn't shed mud so well, their bulk would be a problem on the Redline, which is not overly generous on clearance. I do have one Flexus Primus mounted on my backup rear wheel; the only time I used it was actually for the singlespeed at the chilly Gig Harbor race. I was actually surprised how competent it felt on frozen grass. The experience rekindled my appreciation for the original Primus, though I still feel that it is not as versatile as some other options out there.
Since I cannot get the Flexus Cubus in 34mm anymore, I have reason to maintain those tyres for future seasons. Somehow I had slit the tread on the rear, maybe at Silverlake. The slice was just short of going into the casing, and I figured out that I could repair the wound in the rubber with a little bit of Aquaseal, which I have been using to seal the sidewall on CX tyres with cotton-poly casings like Challenge and FMB (Tufo's vulcanized construction eliminates the need to seal the sidewall). The fix worked perfectly.
One key lesson that I learned was this: don't take whiskey hand-ups during a race. I don't know why I did it at Marymount; maybe the self-awareness that I was nowhere near the front of the singlespeed field. And I often have more than a shot of brandy or applejack immediately after the race, so what could it hurt to have a snort of the hard stuff in the final lap? All seemed well as I finished, but then I was overwhelmed with nausea. I was by the team tents when I started wretching, then soon I stumbled over to the treeline out of courtesy. Nothing was actually coming out of my mouth, but I wasn't fit for moving for a good quarter hour.

It was fun AND competitive
This afternoon on your local CBS station, the CBS Sports Spectacular: Deer Valley Celebrity Skifest is showing. We attended the event as guests of Deer Valley to ride, hang out with the celebs, watch a Lady Antebellum concert, and take some photos. Like these….
DV Celeb Skifest: Alysia Reiner and Amy Ackker of Orange is the New Black and Person of Interest
Giancarlo Esposito and the Crab Wizard from Breaking Bad and the Deadliest Catch
The annual Celebrity Skifest pairs former Olympic ski legends with television and film celebrities for an exciting weekend of skiing, live music and fundraising for Waterkeeper Alliance, the fastest-growing grassroots environmental movement in the world. Waterkeeper defends communities against anyone who threatens their right to clean water—from law-breaking polluters to unresponsive government agencies. So it was celebs in Park City and a couple of cyclists (us), having fun and protecting water. A pleasure to attend, and as I posted this week, the snow conditions weren't great for skiing, but were for snow biking!
Conditions good for snow biking
Our host hotel was Goldener Hirsch where we enjoyed apres ski with yodelers and before that, a tasting with High West Distillery, and dinner at Mariposa.
Lady Antebellum performed
More photos are posted on G+ and Flickr, including celebs, and the bikes we rode.

NFPA 270: Standard Test Method for Measurement of Smoke Obscuration Using a Conical Radiant Source in a Single Closed Chamber, 2008 Edition
|Item # 27008
|Member *
|Table of Contents
|Quantity Discounts
NFPA 270: Standard Test Method for Measurement of Smoke Obscuration Using a Conical Radiant Source in a Single Closed Chamber provides fire test labs with a means of measuring smoke obscuration of essentially flat materials, products, or assemblies (including surface finishes) up to 25mm thick, when exposed to specified levels of thermal irradiance in a single closed chamber. This test method is based on ISO 5659-2, Determination of Specific Optical Density by a Single-Chamber Test, and provides equivalent results to ISO 5659-2.
The principal fire-test-response characteristic obtained from using NFPA 270 is the specific optical density of smoke from the specimens tested. An optional fire-test-response characteristic measurable with this method is the mass optical density, which is the specific optical density of smoke divided by the mass lost by the specimens during the test.
The 2008 edition deleted secondary definitions of "ignition", "smoke obscuration", and "specimen". (Softbound, 29 pp., 2008)

simpy.rt — Real-time simulation¶
Execution environment for events that synchronizes passing of time with the real-time (aka wall-clock time).
- class simpy.rt.RealtimeEnvironment(initial_time=0, factor=1.0, strict=True)¶
Execution environment for an event-based simulation which is synchronized with the real-time (also known as wall-clock time). A time step will take factor seconds of real time (one second by default). A step from 0 to 3 with a factor=0.5 will, for example, take at least 1.5 seconds.
The step() method will raise a RuntimeError if a time step took too long to compute. This behaviour can be disabled by setting strict to False.
- factor = None¶
Scaling factor of the real-time.
- strict = None¶
Running mode of the environment. step() will raise a RuntimeError if this is set to True and the processing of events takes too long.
- active_process¶
The currently active process of the environment.
- all_of¶
alias of AllOf
- any_of¶
alias of AnyOf
- event¶
alias of Event
- exit(value=None)¶
Stop the current process, optionally providing a value.
This is a convenience function provided for Python versions prior to 3.3. From Python 3.3, you can instead use return value in a process.
- now¶
The current simulation time.
- process¶
alias of Process
- run(until=None)¶
Executes step() until the given criterion until is met.
- If it is None (which is the default), this method will return when there are no further events to be processed.
- If it is an Event, the method will continue stepping until this event has been triggered and will return its value.
- If it is a number, the method will continue stepping until the environment's time reaches until.
- schedule(event, priority=1, delay=0)¶
Schedule an event with a given priority and a delay.
- sync()¶
Synchronize the internal time with the current wall-clock time.
This can be useful to prevent step() from raising an error if a lot of time passes between creating the RealtimeEnvironment and calling run() or step().
- timeout¶
alias of Timeout
- step()¶
Process the next event after enough real-time has passed for the event to happen.
The delay is scaled according to the real-time factor. With strict mode enabled, a RuntimeError will be raised, if the event is processed too slowly.

Reverend Rutledge E. Etheridge
Adjunct Professor of Systematic Theology, 2007 to Present
Video and Audio of Lectures and Sermons by Rev. Etheridge.
In teaching the Introduction to Reformed Theology course, Rev. Etheridge presents the Reformed faith from a clear understanding and deep appreciation for its faithfulness to the Scriptures. The unity, integrity, and veracity of God's Word shine forth as Reformed tenets are examined. Students benefit from Etheridge's pastoral perspective as doctrine is set forth for both mind and heart. His teaching experience beyond the pulpit—in youth, college ministry, and apologetics—applies Scriptural truths to a broad spectrum of Christian ministry and life.
My teaching Reformed Theology is a great privilege and somewhat of an irony, given my antagonism toward it when I first began to study it in college. But by God's grace I've found what I hope to communicate to my students: When Christians begin to glimpse the glory of our sovereign, holy God who loves and adopts sinners to be His children through His Son Jesus Christ, and when they recognize the transcendent majesty and internal cogency of the Scripture which proclaims that God, the layers of pride peel away and we are left as we are meant to be: humbly adoring our Lord and zealous to serve Him. That's the true heart of Reformed Theology, the Bible's own theology. Reformed Theology expresses Scripture's own view of itself, its structural framework, its content and its purpose; as such it is indispensable to the life of the individual Christian and the corporate body of Christ. It places before God's people an exalted view of their Lord, His faithful character and His sure promises, His kingly reign and His shepherding care, His purpose for His church in this world and His sure return to bring them to glory. When believers' hearts are ignited into worship and witness by the Words of their Shepherd, the church grows in grace, unbelievers are saved, and the Christian life is lived as it is supposed to be lived – to the glory of God alone.

LIVE RESULTSFORT WORTH, Texas - The TCU track and field programs will open the 2011-12 indoor season Saturday at the Texas A&M Reveille Invitational in College Station. The Horned Frogs will compete against Houston and host Texas A&M with events set to begin at 12:30 p.m. inside Gilliam Indoor Track Stadium.The meet schedule at the Reveille Invitational will include the 60 meters, 800 meters, 5000 meters (men), 60 hurdles, 4x400 relay, distance medley relay, high jump, pole vault, long jump, shot put and weight throw. Results and updates from the meet will be available through flashresults.com.In his eighth year as head coach, Darryl Anderson and the 2012 TCU track and field program will look to leave their final mark on the Mountain West Conference with a large group of talented newcomers and several outstanding returning upperclassmen. Senior All-American long jumper Whitney Gipson highlights the women's roster, while the men's squad will look to junior sprinter Charles Silmon. Gipson, a four-time All-American from Newark, Texas, returns to the air for the Frogs after leaping a personal-best 21-11 ½ feet for first place honors at the 2011 Penn Relays. Her performance set the long jump benchmark for the meet and Franklin Field. Gipson claimed gold medals in both the indoor and outdoor championships for the Mountain West in 2011. She garnered a pair of first-team All-America honors last season with a sixth-place finish at the NCAA Indoor Championships and fourth-place performance at the outdoor championships.Silmon claimed a pair of second-team All-America accolades in 2011, finishing 15th overall in the 100-meters and 200-meters at the NCAA Outdoor Championships. The Waco, Texas native headlined the 2011 Mountain West Outdoor Championships meet, receiving the meet's Outstanding Male Performance Award after capturing the men's 100-meter and 200-meter titles and anchoring the Frogs' gold medal 4x100 relay team.TCU welcomed more than 30 newcomers to the men's and women's squads this summer, including some of the most talented athletes from around the world. The sprints program welcomed the likes of Candace Longino-Thomas, Ashle Caldwell, Ashley Collins and Neferteria Hall on the women's side, while the men's squad introduced Fort Worth native Joshua Washington, Robert Lewis III and Ronald Manning, Jr. From the infield, the Frogs' jumps group added international standouts Ramone Bailey from Kingston, Jamaica and Lorraine Ugen of London, England. Bailey was a CARIFTA Games champion and a Jamaican national champion in the long jump, while Ugen claimed the 2010 South of England Under-20 long jump crown and also won gold to help England win the 2010 Indoor Under-20 Celtic Cup. In 2009, Ugen swept the Aviva England Athletics Under-20 indoor and outdoor long jump titles.Megan Smith and Paul Osunwa highlight the recruiting class for the throwing program. Smith was one of the nation's top shot putters as a two-time all-state selection in both the shot put and discus from Olathe, Kan. Osunwa transferred to TCU after spending two years at Northern Arizona University. After redshirting his first season, the Ontario, Calif., native qualified for the 2011 Big Sky Championships in the shot put. The indoor schedule will consist of three trips to College Station, beginning with the season opener at the Texas A&M Reveille Invitational a week from today (Dec. 10). The Frogs will make a return trip to Aggieland for the Texas10-Team Invitational at Texas A&M on Jan. 14, followed by the two-day Razorback Invitational in Fayetteville, Ark. (Jan. 27-28). TCU will wrap-up the indoor regular season at the Texas A&M Invitational (Feb. 11), before preparing for the Mountain West Indoor Championships in Albuquerque, N.M. (Feb 23-25). The 2012 NCAA Indoor Championships are set for March 9-10 in Boise, Idaho.

Official FREE BlackBerry Traffic v22.214.171.1249 Available in BlackBerry App World, Now Featuring Voice Guidance
If you haven't heard about it yet, BlackBerry Traffic is out of Beta via the BlackBerry Beta Zone, and officially available for download in the BlackBerry App World. The most major part of the update is the voice guidance over the speaker that we've all been waiting for! What's new?
Latest features included are:
- Now featuring voice guidance projected clearly through your device's speaker, Bluetooth or car system's input; program it to be as detailed as you want so you have constant direction
- Avoid toll routes with alternate route ideas before leaving for your trip
- Invite others to use BlackBerry® Traffic 3.0 via BBM™
- Voice guidance with high quality AAC audio instructions (set by default but uses more data; can be changed in options)
- Option to avoid toll roads
- Improved Bing search results when searching for addresses
- UI update: Selection from the Route Selection screen that is not Home or Work takes user to the Next Maneuver screen.
- Fixes to cell geolocation
- Fixes to using the app when connected to Wi-Fi only.
- Share a place via BBM.
- Performance improvement when switching routes
- Fixes around Arrival detection
- Reduced battery consumption
- UI updates
- Lots of bug fixes
The description from BlackBerry App World is as follows:
With lots of places to go and people to see, planning to get places on time can be a challenge. Thanks to BlackBerry® Traffic 3.0, you can know your estimated time of arrival (ETA) based on current traffic conditions, and find out about alternate routes to avoid hold ups and toll booths. Plus, new voice guidance provides stress-free navigation and allows you to travel completely hands free; with the option to have clear voice instructions come through a Bluetooth headset or your vehicle's sound system, and deliver turn-by-turn directions if you want them. In fact, you can make them as detailed as you like! Finally, when you know your ETA, you can keep your contacts updated via SMS, email, or PIN so they know when to expect you. Making – and keeping – plans just got a whole lot easier.
I have used BlackBerry Traffic since it was available in the BlackBerry Beta Zone in the beginning. I was really excited to see the voice guidance being added. It works great with the native BlackBerry Maps and it works great for turn-by-turn navigation. If you are using a different paid navigation app, I can't stress enough to give the BlackBerry Traffic app and see what you think because you'll definitely be surprised in a good way.

Food giant Kraft Foods has appointed Gerhard "Gerd" W. Pleuhs to lead its global legal team after its current head plans to leave in April.
Marc S. Firestone, 52, executive vice President, corporate and legal affairs, and general counsel, will leave Kraft after nine years to rejoin Philip Morris International in Lausanne, Switzerland.
His replacement Pleuhs currently serves as senior vice president and deputy general counsel for Kraft.
Kraft CEO Irene Rosenfeld said: "Gerd has more than 25 years of corporate law experience. I'm confident that his intimate knowledge of our company will enable him to seamlessly step into the General Counsel role."
Pleuhs will lead the legal function for the global snacks company when it launches later this year, while Kraft will search for candidates to lead the North American grocery legal team, originally intended for Firestone.

Workers involved in the tourism industry along the U.S. Gulf Coast hope this Memorial Day weekend is one of their best in a long time. The threat of oil from the Deepwater Horizon spill kept many tourists away from beach communities last year.
Since the oil spill, BP has provided money to states to help promote tourism.
So far, the oil giant says it has given Florida $42 million, Mississippi $18 million, Alabama nearly $30 and Louisiana $25 million in tourism grants.
Here are some comments about Gulf Coast tourism from people who work in the sector:

text: Raikkonen: It would be nice to take the break with a good result 21 July, 2013 Kimi Raikkonen keen to repeat his 2005 victory in Hungary this time around With four second-place finishes and one victory in Hungary, our Kimi Raikkonen reckons he knows what's needed for a strong weekend in Budapest where the Lotus driver will be looking close in on his rivals heading him in the 2013 Formula 1 World Championship standings. What makes a good weekend in Hungary? I have finished second in Hungary too many times, so I know how important it is to lead the race after the first corner. DRS or not, it's never easy to overtake at the Hungaroring. To get the weekend right, you have to have good sessions in FP1, FP2 and FP3, then a strong qualifying session and finally a perfect start to the race. But your only win here came in 2005 starting from fourth on the grid? I got a very good start to be second at the end of the first lap and everything went well from there. Kimi Raikkonen attracts a huge Finnish contingent of fans to Hungary What's the atmosphere like? It is always nice to go to Hungary. The circuit is not the most difficult of them all, but it is a really challenging venue as it's usually very hot which makes it a demanding race. Of course, the heat has helped us with the car so far this year so that will make things better, but only if it's a win will you not suffer from the heat. What are the key elements to a fast car at the Hungaroring? A fast car. It's such a slow, twisty circuit, so two things are really important there; good turn-in and good traction. If you have those, you have a strong car for the race. How do you ensure a good start? Obviously you need to get to the front in the qualifying, but also avoid the dirty side of the track on the grid. When you look back through the races this season, it seems the dirty side of the track is a real disadvantage in the starts. Kimi Raikkonen during the German GP In some ways this is viewed as a 'home' Grand Prix for you? Many times Hungary has been called as the Grand Prix of Finland. A lot of Finns go to this race every year and it is always nice to see the blue and white flags waving. Any more thoughts after your second place in the German Grand Prix? The points were good and we had a strong car. Again we saw that warmer temperatures suited us and we usually get hot weather in Budapest so that should be a good thing. Of course, you never know until you have driven the track in this year's car. In Germany, my radio wasn't working properly and I got stuck behind the Mercedes which didn't help my race. The performance of the cars was pretty close and it's easier to overtake at the Nürburgring than it is at the Hungaroring, so we will need to qualify well. Was missing your final pit stop there an option? My tyres felt pretty okay when we came to change them, but you cannot know how long they would have lasted or what would have happened in the race. It didn't help that we had the radio problem as my engineers couldn't hear me, although I could hear them asking me the questions. It's easy to say 'we should have done this', but you never know for sure unless you try that strategy. We were right with Seb [Vettel] at the end of the race through coming in and putting on the soft tyres, but maybe if we had done things a bit differently we would have been slightly in front rather than slightly behind. Kimi Raikkonen won the 2005 Hungarian GP for McLaren This was your best ever result in Germany; does it taste any better than the previous ones or is it only victory that makes the difference? Obviously we are here to try and win races. We couldn't in Germany because we were not fast enough, but for the team it was a good result after a couple of quite difficult races. We lost some more points to the lead as Seb won, but it's still a long season and if we keep putting ourselves in a position to at least be fighting for first place then I think we can do it again. Can you go one better in Budapest? There's no point speculating before you get there. Hopefully we get the result we are looking for. It would be nice to take the break after this race and recharge the batteries in the middle of the season with a good result on the board, but most importantly, it would be good to have the points.

Disruptive Behavior Disorders
It's normal for children to occasionally not listen to their parents. But a pattern of consistent defiance, arguing, and anger is a sign of a Disruptive Behavior Disorder. Having a child with disruptive behavior can be incredibly stressful and challenging. Adding to the difficulty is that most typical parenting techniques are not very effective with children with disruptive behavior. Most parents report that they find themselves in frequent conflict with their disruptive child, repeating themselves multiple times to get their child to do something, yelling or raising their voice, and struggling to get along.
Signs of child disruptive behavior include:
- Noncompliance
- Breaking rules
- Argumentativeness
- Frequent anger
- Physical aggression
- Destroying belongings
- Disrespectful talk
- Frequent whining
- Parent-child conflict
Although some parents believe that children will eventually "outgrow" these disruptive behavior problems, this pattern of behavior often worsens over time, interfering with socialization, academic functioning, and the parent-child relationship. Additionally, there is also a common link between disruptive behavior and ADHD in children. Therefore, it is strongly encouraged to seek early intervention for children with disruptive behavior, as treatment is most effective with younger children, particularly those under the age of 8.
At CUCARD, we treat children with disruptive behavior by:
- Collaborating with parents to implement more effective positive parenting and disciple techniques that have been shown to be effective with children with disruptive behavior disorders. Treatments such as Parent-Child Interaction Therapy have been shown to successfully treat children with disruptive behavior.
- Working individually with the child to develop new coping skills to better deal with anger, aggression, frustration, and conflict with others.
If these symptoms seem relevant to you or your child, we can help. Feel free to contact us by calling our main desk at (212) 246-5740.
The Columbia University Clinic for Anxiety and Related Disorders (CUCARD) provides evidence-based treatments for all of the anxiety disorders that can afflict children, including:
- Separation Anxiety Disorder
- Social Anxiety Disorder
- Generalized Anxiety Disorder
- Specific Phobia
- Panic Disorder with and without Agoraphobia
- Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder
- Posttraumatic Stress Disorder.
- Disruptive Behaviour Disorders.
- We also specialize in the treatment of Selective Mutism, Trichotillomania and Mood Disorders.

Clicking on this symbol changes the symbol (so it now shows like this ) and causes the Landing Page or record to open when you first login. NOTE: The window will appear the same size and in the same position as it was when you pinned it. You can stop the window from opening on login by clicking on the pushpin again or by deleting the option from the My Pinned Windows section within Preferences.
Email Accounts
If you've been given the right capabilities (ie, Manage Email Credentials and View Email Credentials) you can set up new Email Connections which allow you to send emails from an 'alias' address. For example, you might want to send emails from a generic address such as email@example.com or email@example.com and so on.
For more information on setting up new accounts please click here.
Email Signatures
You can set up one or more Email Signatures for use when sending emails from Workbooks and define one of them to be the default one that's applied to your outbound emails. To set up a signature, click on My Signatures in the left-hand column and then click New Signature. Give the signature a name and enter the text in the Body. (You can enter your signature as HTML by first clicking the HTML button in the formatting toolbar.) If you want the signature to be used as your default, remember to tick the checkbox next to Default Signature. You can control whether or not the signature can be applied to Email, Notes and Google Docs templates using the appropriate checkboxes. Finally, in order to be able to use this signature, click Activate.
Email Dropbox
Workbooks users can send emails from within the system which are stored against the relevant record(s). The Email Dropbox extends this functionality so that inbound emails or those generated outside Workbooks can be sent to a special Workbooks address, which will then automatically store the email and any attachments against the relevant record(s). To enable this functionality the user should generate a Dropbox email address and specify who can send emails to that address. For more information on Dropbox, click here.

Unique camera detects heart disease
By 04/05/2001 00:00:00
Ellis County Press Managing Editor
FERRIS - Ellis County residents no longer need to drive to Dallas for SPECT nuclear cardiology. The unique heart-care equipment now is available at the Ferris Heart Center.
The SPECT camera, which gets its name from single photon emission computed tomography, is a first for the county in specialized heart care. The highly specialized equipment, licensed by the state, performs stress tests on patients with suspected heart disease.
'It's pretty unique,' said Dr. Fred Maese, who put Dr. Steve Vu at the controls in adding the nuclear cardiology program to his existing facility. 'It's an extremely safe, non-invasive and accurate technology.
'The new equipment gives us excellent results to determine if someone has heart disease,' Dr. Maese said. 'Time-tested world wide, it's now at your front door.
'It's fortunate the county now has such an experienced and capable man,' he said of Dr. Vu, who already has the elaborate camera in use at the Ferris Heart Center, 210 W. Sixth St.. 'Not just anybody can do it. The unique equipment takes special training and licensing.'
Medicare, Medicaid and all major insurance companies approve SPECT camera tests, Dr. Maese said.
Dr. Vu said he jumped at the chance to bring the camera and service to Ellis County. 'We're fortunate to have a board-certified cardiologist like Dr. M to interpret the results.'
Together, the two doctors expect to get the most from the new equipment. Dr. Vu has 10 years of experience in nuclear medicine technology at Methodist Hospital in Houston, while Dr. Maese developed extensive expertise at interpreting camera results at Baylor College of Medicine Hospital.
The SPECT camera's ability is not just limited to testing hearts, they said. Ferris Heart Center plans call for using the equipment to test other vital organs, such as bones, thyroids and kidneys.

Select your pregnancy week from the timeline
Select your baby's age in months from the timeline
Select your toddler's age in months from the timeline
What to expect this week
You're at week 34 and there's really not long left to go at all!
Your baby will now weigh close to 5lbs and measure up at about 45cm long. Their skin is increasingly smooth and rounded as they continue to gain weight and fill out with fat.
You are probably not feeling so many 'big' movements from your baby now, as they get themselves ready for delivery in a head down, curled up position. They will still be wriggling and kicking, but you will probably not feel it quite so much as before.
Your baby's hearing will now be developed enough that they can hear you, so it's a good idea to begin talking to your baby (they're particularly receptive to high pitched tones).
Their little lungs are also now almost fully developed so they will be ready to breathe independently after birth. Their tiny finger and toenails have now grown and if your baby is overdue they'll likely need a trim.
If you are expecting a little boy, his testicles are starting to move down into his scrotum now.
You'll have an antenatal appointment with your midwife this week, and she will no doubt have a chat with you to make sure you are happy with your birth plan and aware of all your pain relief options in labour. She will probably also run through what to do when your waters break, or if you start having contractions.
She will also be paying particular attention to any swelling in your hands, ankles and face at this stage of pregnancy, as it could be an indicator of pre-eclampsia (although all pregnant women will endure puffy ankles to some degree). Do tell her if you have been suffering from headaches or blurred vision, too, as this can also be a sign.
If you are rhesus negative, you will have your second dose of anti-D around now, too.
As your baby's arrival is now just weeks away, it could be worth doing one last check that you have everything you need in your hospital bag and in your nursery!
Think about back ups too – for example, if you have decided to use cloth nappies, it could be sensible to have a pack of disposables in the drawer as well, just in case.
Making up a 'mobile' basket of nappy change and top and tail supplies to keep in whatever room you are in in the house might also prove useful, too – you won't necessarily want to take your baby to their nursery changing table for every nappy change or clean up.
