Jim Stump explores the meaning of the Lenten season from the perspective of evolutionary creation.

Jim Stump explores the meaning of the Lenten season from the perspective of evolutionary creation.
By getting rid of the miracle stories in the Bible, Bultmann and his followers hoped to make the Christian story more palatable to modern man. Although I recognize the emotional weight of this sentiment, I am not convinced that it is an intellectually coherent approach, mainly for reasons of self-consistency.
Here are some of the best responses from around the web to David's Barash's controversial editorial about God and Evolution in the New York Times.
If discussions of science and religion sometimes get bogged down in Genesis, perhaps that is because they have not made the preparatory journey through the rich material of the Wisdom books.
Written by BioLogos Fellow of Biology Dennis Venema, this series of posts is intended as a basic introduction to the science of evolution for non-specialists.
From science and religion blogs: quantum uncertainty and God, the remarkable fact that we have come to understand our place in the created order, and the role of theology in making wise choices about the use of technology.
For Augustine, the literal sense of scripture is not a scientific narrative of physical reality, but a liturgical and poetic narrative of God's awesome power at the dawn of history. This is a vital thread in the story of how to read Genesis.
Christ is the reason the natural sciences work: he is the source of the laws of nature, and he contains and underpins the natural sciences. Christ is the pattern for all created things, while the Spirit – his presence in the created world – breathes the divine fire into the equations.
We must press beyond the various creation narratives in the Hebrew Bible, including the final chapters of Job, to the picture of God revealed in the New Testament—the Creator who does not rationally explain away the scandal of suffering but who instead enters into it.
We now take for granted an understanding of the Christian story that was largely worked out by Paul and later theologians. Even though the Gospels were composed after Paul's letters, they were concerned to tell the story itself in all its strangeness as it had been preserved by the first generation of Christians. And what we find in the stories themselves is the shock and wonder and surprise that the resurrection caused.
Four Views on the Historical Adam shows that evangelical Christians are far from agreeing on the particulars of Adam and Eve. But this book also makes clear that there is strong agreement among evangelical Christians on the fundamentals of the Christian faith. We agree that all Scripture is inspired by God and authoritative, even while disagreeing on the interpretation of some passages.
The key point of continuity between redemption and creation is the idea that the future can be different from the past, i.e., the key is eschatology. More abstractly put, God does new things.
Sometimes, out of fear or some sense of being required to defend our position, Church leaders and teachers have hastily set up a boundary marker around some doctrinal theory which they have confused as a core doctrinal issue.
"It's tempting to think that the church needs to decide quickly which of these [original sin] scenarios is right, and which ones must be wrong. I believe the church is better served by taking its time, holding several different scenarios in tension for a while as we think through the implications of each."
The idea that the story we know is only the very beginning raises a new question in place of Feynman's objection that Christianity is provincial. Is it presumptuous to claim that in such a grand universe, possibly with intelligent life arising in many places, the redemption and transformation of the entire cosmos starts here, on our pale blue dot?
Critics of Christianity look to evolution to show how the emergence of human life on earth demanded enormous ruin and ravage, billions of years of apparent waste and futility, species extermination and organism road kill. Not only was the massive dying off rampant, it's mandatory too.
Over the next few months, with permission from Yale University Press, BioLogos will offer edited versions of chapters from John Polkinghorne's best books, Belief in God in an Age of Science and Theology in the Context of Science, in order to help readers delve more deeply into some of his most important ideas.
I was raised in a household of atheists. My parents were card-carrying members of the American Communist Party, and therefore the atheism in my household was quite close to the militant anti-theism of the so-called "new atheists".
These excerpts from Origins: Christian Perspectives on Creation, Evolution, and Intelligent Design, written by BioLogos president Deborah Haarsma and her husband Loren Haarsma, offer a sampling of the book's many topics, from exploring our disagreements and agreements on origins as Christians to explaining scientific processes to looking at how we read Genesis.

"The [secular] sense of right and wrong is so delicate, so fitful, so easily puzzled, obscured, perverted, so subtle in its argumentative methods, so impressionable by education, so biased by pride and passion, so unsteady in its course, that in the struggle for existence amid the various exercises and triumphs of the human intellect, the sense is at once the highest of all teachers yet the least luminous."

Redirected from Vayne the Night Hunter
1,937pages on
this wiki
this wiki
Champion | Background | Strategy | Skins & Trivia |
Statistics Edit | ||||||||||||||||||||
| ||||||||||||||||||||
Ability Details
Night Hunter is a passive ability that activates whenever Vayne is facing a visible enemy champion, granting her a flat amount of additional movement speed.
Additional Information:
- Vayne does not need to be moving to gain the movement speed bonus. This can affect the strength of movement speed buffs or debuffs.
- Enemy champions that are not visible to Vayne (through Fog of War, brush, or stealth) will not activate Night Hunter.
- Night Hunter's bonus movement speed persists for 2 seconds after Vayne loses sight of an enemy.
Ability Details
Tumble is a cursor targeted linear dash and autoattack modifier ability.
- The triggering attack will apply other on-hit effects and can critically strike as normal.
- Like most on-hit physical damage, the bonus damage from Tumble will apply life steal.
- Critical strikes do not interact with Tumble's bonus damage.
- The enhanced attack does not trigger against structures. The enhanced attack sound is played when Vayne attacks a structure with the Tumble buff but the buff is not consumed.
- Probable Bug: The triggering attack will deal damage and apply on-hit effects through blind.
- PENDING FOR TEST Tumble's bonus damage interaction with dodge, block and parry has yet to be tested.
- Spell shields will not block the empowered autoattack.
Additional Information:
- Tumble resets Vayne's attack timer on cast. However, due to the cast time of the ability, this can potentially result in an actual decrease in DPS if Vayne has sufficient attack speed.
- Tumble's cooldown will not start until after the autoattack modifier is used or expires after 6 seconds.
- Tumble cannot move Vayne over impassible terrain, but it does allow her to pass through minions and monsters.
- Temporary terrain such as Crystallize and Cataclysm can be moved over if Tumble can completely pass over it.
- PENDING FOR TEST Tumble can be used to dodge Ashe's Enchanted Crystal Arrow. Not only can she avoid it by diving to the side, but also by diving towards it. This most often results in Vayne being slowed, not stunned, and only taking the arrow's AoE damage. If timed perfectly, the Enchanted Crystal Arrow will completely pass through Vayne.
Ability Details
Silver Bolts is a passive ability that grants Vayne an on-hit effect. Vayne's autoattacks and Condemn ability apply a debuff on the target unit for 3 seconds.
- Does not apply spell effects.
- True damage ignores all forms of damage reduction, except invulnerability.
- Spell shields will not block the damage.
Additional Information:
- Silver Bolts cannot be deactivated or toggled off by absolutely any means.
- If Vayne autoattacks or uses Condemn on a different enemy unit than her previous target, all Silver Bolt stacks are removed.
- Stacks are not removed if Vayne attacks a target that can not be affected by Silver Bolts, such as structures or wards.
- Silver Bolts only affects the original target when using . Otherwise Vayne would be unable to trigger the ability at all if it affected multiple targets.
- Silver Bolts is the only ability in the game dealing true damage and scaling with the target's maximum health, making it the only ability in the game to completely ignore the target's tankiness.
Ability Details
Condemn is a single targeted ability that fires a crossbow bolt at a target enemy unit, dealing physical damage on impact and knocking them back a set distance over 0.5 seconds.
- Applies spell effects as a single target ability.
- Spell vamp is fully applied.
- will apply a 35% slow.
- Spell shields will block the ability.
- This ability is considered to be a projectile for Unbreakable and Wind Wall.
Additional Information:
- The direction of Condemn's knockback is calculated at the point the projectile hits the enemy champion. Condemn's knockback will follow the line Vayne and her target draw at this specific moment.
- The duration of Condemn's stun starts when the unit hits the wall, thus the unit can be disabled for up to 2.0 seconds.
- Using Condemn on champions that apply suppression such as Warwick or Malzahar is inconsistent. It has been seen on occasion to completely interrupt the suppression, however there have been instances where the enemy is simply moved but the suppression continues, even if he was moved out of the ability's range (e.g. Warwick using Infinite Duress outside of melee range).
- Unlike most abilities, Condemn uses a similar mechanic to basic attacks when conducting range calculations - it takes into account the hitboxes of the target unit. For most champions this means an additional range of about 100 units (more pronounced for larger units) and ensures that Vayne can always Condemn if she is capable of basic attacking a target.
- Condemn takes into account impassable player-created terrain such as Jarvan IV's Cataclysm Anivia's Crystallize, Azir's Emperor's Divide and Trundle's Pillar of Ice.
- The damage caused when an enemy hit a terrain count as critical strike damage.
Ability Details
Final Hour is a self-buff ability.
Additional Information:
- Final Hour has no cast time and does not interrupt Vayne's previous orders.
- Stealth is entered immediately upon beginning Tumble's dash. Any action other than movement will bring Vayne out of stealth.
- Vayne's animations and her autoattack projectiles change slightly while Final Hour is active.

Editor's note: For the purpose of this article, "distressed property" refers to any property (excluding timeshares) that is in some stage of the foreclosure process, including short sales, or has become bank-owned. "NED" refers the Notice of Election and Demand, the first step banks are required to take in the foreclosure process.It appears the bulk of the foreclosures are behind us." says Maggie Dew of Stewart Title, the authority on distressed properties in Summit County. Maggie has been to more public trustee auctions than anyone (county employees excluded). In addition to attending the sales each Friday, she tracks every single distressed property. I have been fortunate over the past few years to team up with Maggie to provide you with the data of what has happened and to predict, with amazing accuracy, what will happen next. Distressed properties hit Summit County like a wave. Here is Maggie's data:
356 properties receive their NED.104 properties foreclosed.
316 properties receive their NED.145 properties foreclosed.
268 properties receive their NED. 87 properties foreclosed.
215 properties likely to receive their NED.50-75 properties likely to be foreclosed.
31,000: the number of residential properties in Summit County.0.28 percent: the percent of homes foreclosed on in 2012.92 percent: the percent of properties purchased at the public trustee auction by the lien holder.What great news! Above are the facts. No fudge factor, no baloney, just the truth. And any way you look at it, the truth is really great news for our county.
The numbers are clear. There are few distressed properties available and we can expect to see even fewer. Right now, 76 Buffalo Terrace, located in The Highlands in Breckenridge, appears to be probably the best value short sale in Summit County at the bank-approved asking price of $839,100. Let me know what you think of the photos.Love life, DanielDaniel Webster Johnson completed the Certified Distressed Property Expert training in 2009. He has conduced dozens of distressed property sales & is a broker associate at Resort Brokers Real Estate in Breckenridge. Contact him at (970) 393-3300 and/or firstname.lastname@example.com.

A rather strange sexual encounter with a blonde woman, in which she first gives a male partner a blumpkin, allows him to jizz in her hair, and then proceeds to wipe his ass with her luscious golden locks. She then disseminates the revolting combination of excrement and semen in her hair with a brush or comb, and puts her hair up into a bun (hence cinnamon roll). This practice is experiencing staggering increases in popularity, particularly in California.
Did you hear about that new thing, the California Cinnamon Roll? I want to try it with my girlfriend, but she'd have to bleach her hair.

U know what u are doing to yourself.. U have validation all over this post... Don't sabotage yourself by pre-race jitters... U don't get the jitters taking care of your girls, do u? some men would freak, think of whatever race u r in as the same as taking care of your girls... Don't let the fear take over... man up ok? u will ace any bike race ( or at least come in second? think positive)
:-)It goes with the territory BD,ride a bike and you fall off and get some serious gravel rash.
I used to do a lot of very serious cycling in my salad days (not quite Bradley Wiggins/Mark Cavendish but pretty reasonable) and I have 2 major injuries to report.
1st one was getting on my bike to do a little warm up before starting a TT.Looked down because I couldn't get one of my shoes into the pedal properly and promptly rode straight into the back of a parked car.4 chipped teeth.
The 2nd one is a 3 inch scar on my left leg which comes from not concentrating properly when I was shaving my legs (I know,I know.I had delusions of grandeur.I was the man to knock Miguel Indurain off his perch....)
Nice mess you made of yourself though BD.Plus you finished.Ahh mountain-biking, completely pointless and fun. Actually it's ideal for injuries and broken bikes. Ha! (I actually enjoy it, sin racing)
Hey, you should throw in more of you humor and cynical eye on this puppy (you are an expert at that). You could have done as least a paragraph or two on porta-johns alone.
The he-man pose was funny, but I wasn't sure if I was supposed to laugh or not. ("By the power of grayskull!!!)@KBF-That's all good advice. Of course I haven't been in a race in over ten years. That was the best way to avoid the pre-race jitters!
@Frank--Even cooler? C'mon! There's no way. Unless you were motorcycling in Lycra.
@Out of Sync--The injuries I got in high school might actually be to stupid to talk about, even in this forum!
@Jack--Chipped teeth? Ouch. Razor accident. Hahahahahaa...
@H-Man--Beefcake. BEEEEFCAAAAAKE!!!
@David--I could have a whole series on port-a-johns, after all my years on construction sites.@Andygirl--I wasn't even one of the crazy ones when I was racing. I knew a guy who had to be choppered straight from a race to the OR. BTW, of COURSE that pic is hot. 3rd sexiest daddyblogger. Holla.
@Andrew--I mentioned the Greta mt bike debacle in my tear-jerky ode to her, but I could probably spin it into a novella a la Old Man and the Sea. Hey--I owe you a photo credit on this, don't I?My husband used to do some trail racing before we got together. He did, however, take me out on my very own trail bike and teach me how not to look at the trees so as to not hit them.
What you described is like my own personal trail hell. I was never more scared than on a crappy little trail around a lake. 25mph downhill on my thigh would have sent me to the psych ward.
Rock on with your bad self.- AnonymousDecember 2, 2013 at 1:33 PM
Just read this after reading your pizza F-bomb story. I instantly smiled at seeing O-Hill in the title. I'm typing this 1.5 miles away from where the accident happened and on the same road I ran up this morning. It's much more fun to descend O-Hill that it is to climb it for sure. In case your still wondering, the O-Hill Meltdown is still going strong. The sad thing is that, in 2013 I still have the same fork on my bike that you do in that picture from 1997. Keep up the good work, I like your blog.

Kershaw, Niese square off in series opener
The Dodgers are hoping to see the Clayton Kershaw from the first week of the season on Tuesday -- not the left-hander who struggled with command in his last outing.
After an off-day on Monday, Kershaw gets the ball for Los Angeles in the opener of a three-game series against the Mets at Citi Field. The Dodgers ended a six-game losing streak on Sunday, and will look to win consecutive games for the first time in almost two weeks.
Kershaw allowed five runs against the Padres on Wednesday, more than he had given up in his first three starts of 2013. He gave up three home runs in a single outing for the first time in his career at home, and walked a season-high four against a season-low five strikeouts.
"I didn't have any command and really couldn't throw the breaking ball again," Kershaw said. "I don't know what happened. I was just falling behind too much. Just inconsistent with the curveball lately. Some good, some not so good."
The Dodgers' rotation has been hit hard by injuries over the last two weeks, losing Zack Greinke, Chris Capuano and most recently Chad Billingsley to the disabled list. But Kershaw remains the staff ace, and has the ability to stifle any offense.
The Mets have scored 99 runs in 17 games, the most in the National League East and third in the NL behind the Reds and Rockies. New York is 6-3 at home, and took two of three from the Nationals over the weekend to begin a nine-game homestand.
Jonathon Niese is scheduled to make his fifth start for the Mets. The left-hander is 2-1 with a 3.80 ERA, but has yet to complete the seventh inning in any start this year.
Niese will face the Dodgers for the fourth time in his career. After three previous starts, Niese is 1-0 with a 4.12 ERA. He's allowed 20 hits in 19 2/3 innings against Los Angeles, but has 14 strikeouts.
The Mets have won series against the Padres, Marlins and Nationals at Citi Field this year.
Dodgers: Lineup change yields results
Manager Don Mattingly changed his batting order on Sunday, with Adrian Gonzalez hitting third and Matt Kemp batting cleanup. The Dodgers responded with seven runs to tie their season high.
Kemp went 3-for-5 to raise his average to .235. The outfielder broke a 4-4 tie with an RBI single in the fifth inning. Kemp also singled and scored in the seventh.
Gonzalez continued to hit, and went 2-for-4 with a double. The first baseman drove in Carl Crawford in the fifth to tie the game at 4. Gonzalez leads the Dodgers' regulars with a .385 average and 25 hits.
Mets: Carson joins bullpen
The Mets recalled left-hander Robert Carson from Triple-A Las Vegas before Sunday's win against the Nationals to add a fresh arm to the bullpen.
Carson had a 1.17 ERA in 7 2/3 innings with Las Vegas with seven strikeouts against two walks. He was once considered a favorite to make the Opening Day roster, but instead began the year in the Minor Leagues.
"He's been throwing very well," Mets manager Terry Collins said. "Rob gives us another option, especially against a team like the Nationals that [has] so many left-handers in the middle of their lineup. We need to just have a left-hander available that, if you're going to get beat, you want them to get beat by somebody who doesn't hit them very good."
The Dodgers have left-handers throughout their lineup in Crawford, Gonzalez and outfielder Andre Ethier. So Carson could see action in this series.
The Mets designated lefty Aaron Laffey for assignment to make room for Carson.
Worth noting
• The Dodgers have scored 54 runs in 18 games, the second fewest in the NL.
• Mets third baseman David Wright has struggled against Kershaw in his career, going 2-for-12 (.167) with two strikeouts.

Local group works to educate boaters and stop mussels
Feather Publishing 5/26/2010Although relatively small, the impact of invasive quagga and zebra mussels could be substantial if they proliferate to the point of collapsing food chains and destroying water distribution systems.
Since arriving from Europe in 1980, the mussels have made their way west and in 2008, were found in the San Justo Reservoir in San Benito County.
Although not yet detected in Lake Almanor or other Northern California waters, members of the Almanor Basin Watershed Advisory Committee are launching a proactive outreach project so Lake Almanor remains mussel-free forever.
Beginning Memorial Day weekend, members of ABWAC and its Invasive Mussel Subcommittee will greet Lake Almanor boaters at various boat launching areas to both inform them on the mussel risk, and collect basic information to better understand the risk to the lake.
Information collected will include the point of origin for the boats and boaters, the level of awareness of mussels and the type of watercraft used.
Mussel committee chairman Aaron Seandel said the Memorial Day weekend event is a "dry run" of the process that will be evaluated in time for the July 4 weekend. He estimates each survey will take under two minutes to complete.
"We will be trying to find out who the people are who use the lake and what kind of risk they may present," Seandel said.
None of the information collected will be used to identify individual boat owners or their activities. All collected survey forms will be evaluated to assist ABWAC in developing a recommendation to the Plumas Board of Supervisors for development of a Lake Almanor prevention program.
Members of the ABWAC Invasive Mussel Subcommittee include representatives of the Lake Almanor Fishing Association, PG&E and the U.S. Forest Service. The Sierra Institute for Community and Environment has facilitated ABWAC activities to provide stewardship of the Lake Almanor Basin and will be the lead coordinator for this effort. For more information, contact Emily Creely at 284-1022 or through e-mail at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Post your time trial bike picsHey all,
Ever since I started watching the Tour a few years back, I've been fascinated by the time trial. I just love the bikes. I'd love to see your time trial machines. I'm particularly interested in vintage time trial bikes too. I'd love to build one!
Re: Post your time trial bike picsdont know if this is going to work because its linked from my facebook..
Just took picture of from my iphone yesterday
Re: Post your time trial bike picsThanks for sharing. Very nice bike, how are the SRAM wheels?
Re: Post your time trial bike picsnever seen you ride that on a PCS sunday ride!!!
Re: Post your time trial bike picsdid you ride last Sunday?
Wheels.. i have gotten use to it.. wind? what wind, i just toughen up around the boys and when i go home i cry to my wife about the wind.
Re: Post your time trial bike picsno - did not do the ride on sunday - maybe this week....
Re: Post your time trial bike picsFROM PCS BLOG
Next weeks ride 18/12/11 Moore River Guilderton There is an informal ride to Moore River, Guilderton next Sunday, departing 6.00am sharp from Jindalee. REPEAT 6.00am. The route is approximately 63km one way and is via Yanchep and Two Rocks before joining Wanneroo road. The cafe at Moore river is open at 8.00 and I've warned them we are coming. Your 'Intention to ride' plus any family members would be appreciated for this purpose (An influx of 30 riders may catch them out otherwise). Details of the cafe and pics of the area here. Chris, Nghia and Tim have confirmed and many others have raised more than an eyebrow of interest. Derek will also head out earlier on the same route. In place of the regular PCS ride, other riders may opt to join the 6.00am start time and return at any point. Be advised that the Wanneroo road section is single file only and is not for the faint-hearted. The speed limit for cars is 110kmph, and is recommended for experienced riders who accept the inherent risks! (legal disclaimer: don't say we didn't warn you!). Two drink bottles, and a complete puncture repair kits for each rider are required as mobile reception is poor in areas, and miscommunication may leave you left behind. Bathers may be a good idea with river and ocean nearby. I can carry 2 extra bikes back in our car but have no room for passengers. Also I'm experimenting to find the best free ride networking tool.
Re: Post your time trial bike picsVery nice. I'm keen to get into time trialing and just love to look at the different bike setups. How do those Zipp's ride? I'm also curious as to how you all first got into it, and any tips you might have for the beginner.
Re: Post your time trial bike pics
All I have to say about disc wheels is "whoomph whoomph whoomph whoomph whoomph whoomph whoomph"
Re: Post your time trial bike picsYes the noise that the disc wheels make can be quite intimidating to other riders, especially newbies!
For someone starting out you would be better to buy some clip-on TT/tri bars for your road bike rather than lashing out thousands of $$ on a dedicated TT rig and find you don't really like doing TTs. Maybe then the next equipment to purchase would be a "sperm" helmet and then bootie covers and a skinsuit. Then maybe look at aero wheels, generally the deeper profile the better (aero wise, but there is a weight trade off). You can't run a front disc, too dangerous if the wind catches it, but you can get up to 80mm front wheels (mine's only 50mm) or even 3 or 4 spoke wheels. There are different disc rear wheels available with all sorts of claims as to their aero benefits. As for getting into it, there are 3 local clubs in my area and as part of their racing program they have time trial events. Ours are usually pretty short, only about 20km usually. The longest one I've done was 40km last weekend - viewtopic.php?f=17&t=47370 Equipment aside, time trials are quite different to road races as there aren't really tactics, no hiding in the bunch, it's just you,the bike, the wind, and the clock. Time trials are generally (but not always) held on flatter courses than road races and the focus is to have the most aerodynamic bike and equipment, rather than a super featherweight bike like most road racers aspire to.
Re: Post your time trial bike picsThanks Ross.
I'm thinking about doing just that once I finish my Colnago (aero bars, etc and giving TT a go) to find what type of racing I like most. Great advice, thanks!
Re: Post your time trial bike picsHere's mine:
Built from scratch after 3 years of being hosed on Triathlon bike legs while riding an old steel roadie! Started with a Planet X Stealth Pro Frame and over 12 months patiently bought up lightly used Dura Ace 7800 bits. Brakes however are Ciamello Zero Gravity Titanium (super light) and the bars are Pro Missile (again, super light at 475grams). Wheels are Zipp 404 tubulars with a rear wheel cover. All up it's 7.2kg without pedals. First outing was the Huskisson Long Course Triathlon – 83km at 34.4kmh Next was the Ironman in Cairns – 182km at 31.6kmh Most recent was the 40km bike leg in the Canberra Olympic Distance Tri – 40km at 37.0kmh In all instances I've had to ride conservatively to save my legs for the run so I'm very keen to just do a TT and chase the holy grail of 40kmh for an hour.
Re: Post your time trial bike picsNice bike .. thanks for sharing!
Where did you buy the planet X frame?
Re: Post your time trial bike picsWaiting for my Zipp 404 firecrest front to turn up this week and set of Ultremo HTs.
Re: Post your time trial bike picsWell overdue this thread, there are some spectacular TT bikes out there.

Re: Post your time trial bike pics
I think the Trek range of TT bikes are the best looking out there. Even the Speed Concept 2.5 is really good looking. If only I could afford one. Like Lunar C, I have also been in love withh TT bikes since my first tour in 07! Visit my website https://sites.google.com/site/dfccyclesandautomotive/Owner of:

Re: Post your time trial bike pics
That's debatable! I do like the flooring and skirting boards though!
Re: Post your time trial bike picsThanks Chook, Tassie Oak flooring and Olivine walls...8P. I must confess I am a Trek Fanboi from way back since the family has a total of 7 Treks (Yes even the kids ride Trek). Pretty much any of the super TT bikes these days looks pretty darn awesome, the major bike manufacturers have really lifted their game over the last 2 years so its not such a Cervelo P-fest anymore.
Re: Post your time trial bike picsThanks for posting such an impressive machine.. I'd love to have those Zipp's on my Colnago
Re: Post your time trial bike picsThis is a design that I did that is based on the Trek Speed Conept 9.9. I chnged it so the speed boxes are in built and the frame is slightly different. I am doing a 1:10 scale model of it a the moment, and will post pictures when I am finished:

If thats your lawn, the weeds seem to have taken over, you really have to do something about that.
Re: Post your time trial bike picsHere is a video one of my friends made of a TT here in Perth last year. It was 44.1km, hilly and really windy. I rode 1:01:58 and am on the black felt.

Windshield Snow Cover-Car
Great if you have messy trees
Although I think this product is intended for use for snow and Ice I purchased it to keep the leaves and pollen tassels off the windshields of my minivan and truck. My Live Oak trees drop all their leaves twice a year and clog the windshield wiper wells of the cars. Messy and irritating to have to constantly clean them out during the weeks of the mess. Seems to work perfectly once you figure out how they go on. Can easily blow off or rinse off the leaves and mess with a hose. When I am ready to take one of the cars out I just remove the cover and hang it with the magnets to the side of the other car and off I go. It's waiting to go back in service when I get back home. By the way, one of my cats enjoys sleeping on the bottom of the cover for a quick cat-nap. Truly mulit-functional :)
April 8, 2015
Stayed in place for over 2 weeks
It did keep the snow off very well. The cover was on my parked car for 2 weeks while I flew off on vacation. About a foot of snow fell on the car several days after I left town. So there was ice and snow on the cover when I returned. Windshield was protected but after clearing the snow I found a rip in the cover. I don't know if it was because of the length of time the cover had the snow on it or if the fabric rips easily. This was the first time I used the cover. But I liked the product. Improvements Company is replacing the cover for free and I am willing to try it again because it worked well. It stays put where you place it and protects the wipers which is great.
January 8, 2013
No more waiting for the windshield to thaw!
My new house does not have a garage so vehicles left out side. When it snows or sleets, have to go out and scrap or wait for the defrost to melt windshield ice. This cover was easy to install and remove. Not too expensive or complicated.
January 29, 2013
A waste of money
Very flimsy material. Difficult to attach if there is any wind. Needs stronger magnets. Not worth the money.
December 24, 2012
We've recently had several small bursts of snow and each time the windshield cover has frozen to the windshield even though several of the snows have been just a light dusting and not a wet heavy snow.
January 23, 2013
Ice forms underneath
I've used the cover twice. It is light and easy to put onto the car. Unfortunately, both times I used it, ice had formed underneath the cover, looking more like frozen condensation than precipitation. I had to heat the windshield and scrape, which is what I was hoping to avoid.
February 12, 2013
Nice if the wind never blew
The design of this was pretty good. It could use more magnets especially in the front on the bottom, and the magnets should be way stronger. The fit was pretty good, but this item did not stretch across the bottom of the winddshield. I did buy this for my parents older car, so I took that into consideration. The flaps that are designed to go inside the car doors are a good idea. However.........it was a windy day when I installed it, so I struggled to get it in place, going from one side of the car to the other. But I got it eventually. It continued to be stormy the next few days, and the wind lifted all the magnets and the thing was flapping in the wind like a kite when I arrived. The flaps in the car held, but the fabric ripped.
November 21, 2013
Windshield snow cover
Item is way too light weight. First night I used it, the high winds blew it right away from car. I turned car in opposite direction of wind, and it stayed on the next night. It needs more heavy duty magnets.
January 30, 2014
Not worth the money
I've been looking for a quality windshield protection cover, something made of nylon, and able to withstand the elements. This isn't it. This cover is of a plastic style construction, resembling a cheap shower curtain liner material. I doubt that it will hold-up. It's certainly not worth the investment.
January 30, 2014
The magnets are not strong enough
The cover is the perfect size for the windshield. I was surprised that it seemed flimsy, although my husband who I bought it for was happy with it.
The first time he used it, it blew off because the magnets are not strong enough. Very disappointing. He's going to retrofit it using duct tape and heavier duty magnets, although we probably could have done this ourselves and saved the cost of the cover.
January 4, 2015
Windshield Snow Cover--SUV
The windshield cover was a disappointment. The material is very light and does not stand up to wind. The magnets are at risk of damaging paint in windy conditions until there is enough weight to hold it down. Result is that it can't be used if it is snowing and windy. Now add to this I would be charged shipping for my return of a clearly inferior product. I will not order from Improvements again.
The order took forever to arrive. Oddly it was shipped UPS, but then entered into the US Postal System at a nearby town and that significantly slowed delivery. Very puzzling that shipping would not be all UPS, but was UPS and USPS
February 20, 2013
Not that I was expecting a canvas, but I also was not expecting a paper thin cover.......I guess I should have known better, for the price I got exactly what I paid for.........A dollar does NOT go very far these days. I would have been better off going to the dollar store, and spend a dollar and get the same thing. I absolutely would NOT recommend this product
December 4, 2013
Don't get it...a carpenter bag would work just the same
This product is a big disappointment. Improvements sold a different car windshield cover that had their name on it and it was great. I thought I'd be getting the same quality. (I needed to order the SUV sized cover because my car has a large windshield).
This particular brand they are selling is awful and ineffective. It's flimsy and while it might keep snow off, it doesn't block out moisture. As a result, I still have to use an ice scraper after I struggle to remove it. When you take the cover off the windshield you are peeling it off of ice that formed underneath the cover on your windshield and car. Having the cover stick like glue is a hassle and it wastes time...just what I want to be saving. I'd expect this icing problem to happen if I had put it on after it had already started snowing/sleeting, but this was put on while my windshield was still dry. This has happened twice and I won't bother using this cover again. Biggest waste of money. Don't bother buying it. I'm not sure why Improvements doesn't sell the original one they made with their logo on it (which I purchased spring 2013).

OMB delaying budget passback guidance, creating uncertainty
Thursday - 12/20/2012, 5:37am EST
Jason Miller, executive editor, Federal News Radio
The fiscal 2014 budget is on hold.
Agency officials across the government have not received budget passback documents and likely will not until the White House and Congress agree on deficit reduction steps or both parties give up and let sequestration take place.
An Office of Management and Budget official confirmed in an email to Federal News Radio the administration "has held off on passbacks to agencies to determine if adjustments will be needed based on the current negotiations. No decisions have been made at this point regarding budget timing."
OMB traditionally sends passback, or budget guidance, which includes both actual spending numbers and policy guidance for the current and upcoming fiscal year, right around Thanksgiving. But several long-time senior agency leaders said they can't remember a time when OMB held up the communications this long.
OMB did provide agencies with initial planning guidance in May, but nothing since departments submitted their spending requests to the White House in September.
One former OMB official, who requested anonymity, said in the past the White House would try to give agencies draft guidance in the fall so they would know the administration's thinking and could offer comments before OMB finalized it.
More information sought
The OMB official said they asked agencies for additional information and analysis after September to update the estimates in the Sequestration Transparency Act report. The administration is using the data to finalize calculations of the spending reductions that would be required. The request was of a technical nature. For example, OMB requested the sequestrable federal administrative expenses in otherwise exempt mandatory accounts.
James Capretta, fellow, Ethics and Public Policy Center
"The fact they have a six month continuing resolution has made it difficult to get planning done. The fact they now are still not really clear where they will end up with their 2014 request makes it difficult to plan. The fact they still are not quite sure if they are going to get this 10 percent 2013 across the board cut or not makes it difficult to plan," said Jim Capretta, a former OMB budget official, who now is a fellow at the Ethics and Public Policy Center, a think tank in Washington. "Throw all that together into one year and you really have some really tremendous uncertainty. Shifting everything to the right in terms of the calendar means that some big decisions will have to be made in a very compressed time period."
Capretta's analysis is held by many senior federal officials, especially in the technology community.
For example, federal chief information officers are waiting OMB's guidance to better understand the next steps for technology modernization across government. Last year, OMB laid out the requirement for agencies to move two commodity IT functions to shared services and four other policy-related mandates.
Less time, more pressure
Several CIOs, who spoke only on the condition of anonymity because of the sensitive nature of pre-decisional budget information, said not having the IT passback guidance is increasing pressure on their agencies.
One CIO said the lack of passback guidance is adding to the pressures and uncertainty around 2013. The CIO said agencies are getting stressed about the lack of information and want some answers around the big question of whether the administration will delay the 2014 budget request to Congress.
The CIO said if they do it's a big deal, and if they don't, it's still a big deal too as it shortens the time for negotiations and appeals with OMB.
The OMB official said the White House hasn't made a decision about the timing of the budget.
Another CIO from a major agency said they aren't too concerned about the lack of OMB guidance because they know their 2013 budget is based on the continuing resolution, which is in place until March. And, the CIO said, their agency still holds high expectations for Congress and the White House to come to a final agreement on spending cuts.
A third CIO said they don't think passback will change their plans too much, but the fact that it's so late compresses the timeline in 2013 to move out on initiatives.
Finally, a fourth CIO said the lack of budget guidance and more broadly the fiscal negotiations is causing them to jump through additional hoops and spend a lot of time that could be used better elsewhere.
"Our challenges here are formulated by Congress not getting off their fannies and approving a budget by Oct. 1," the fourth CIO said. "We wouldn't be in any of these situations if they did that. When you add the sequestration, it is a major compounder to this entire problem. We are already under a CR, which is having an impact, and sequestration will cause us to go down a very different path. There will be breakage across our agency to get to the place where we are sailing smoothly. It's a very different trajectory than we are on now."
Even if the White House and Congress come to an agreement in the next two weeks, several CIOs say the compressed timeline will be tough to meet.
CIOs still in the dark
The fourth CIO said when their agency has days instead of weeks to turn around the passback, it's not only inefficient but it has a "Slinky effect" across the agency, where everything gets pushed back.
"It's a macro problem because this is Congress jerking the federal agencies around because of the unintended consequence of not getting their homework done," the CIO said. "One of the things that potentially will hiccup is some of the cyber efforts. It's like people having a big wave come through and trying to see what is left over. All the hot button IT items — cloud, mobile, data center consolidation — are impacted by this inefficient way of doing business."
Dan Tangherlini, acting administrator, GSA
Several CIOs also said OMB didn't provide even a little insight during the CIO Council meeting earlier this month.
The third CIO said they talked about shared services, the potential of IT reform legislation and other administration priorities, but no specifics about OMB's expectations for 2013 and beyond.
Beyond technology, the impact on agencies of the delay in budget guidance and the potential of sequestration is all about resources.
Dan Tangherlini, the acting administrator of the General Services Administration, said at a press conference last week that GSA is most concerned about how sequestration will impact its federal customers.
"Our planning is really responsive to the agencies we serve and try to get a better sense of how they are thinking about it. So one of the things we have been trying to do is establish a continual framework of communication around that for them, and seeing if there are ways we can help them manage their way through it," he said. "Most of GSA's activities are not directly impacted by sequestration, because they are really supported by fees or rent paid by agencies. It's those agencies, that original source of funds, that could be impacted by sequestration."
A glimmer of good news?
Capretta said with all these delays and unknowns because of fiscal negotiations, it's possible the 2014 budget could be even less relevant than usual.
On the other hand, he said agencies may be taking such a cautious approach with their budget planning that they may receive a little good news.
"If it turned out that 2013 was better than [planned for], then they at least would have probably additional resources rather than less going into 2014," Capretta said. "I think the big problem is to assume you will have some money and then not have it, and building a budget around some presumption that resources will be there and then some policy decisions come down that actually lead you not to have the resources. That's when agencies get themselves into an awful lot of trouble."
He added agencies have been planning and reviewing their budgets over the last few months, so they know most cuts likely will come from "lumpy expenditures," such as large programs where contracts could be delayed without harming the service to the citizens.
Capretta said the goal with any sort of budget reduction is not to harm the public so that means the back-office functions and administrative functions likely will take the biggest hits.
But he said no matter what happens with these fiscal negotiations, one thing is very certain.
"On the discretionary side where agencies get their budgets, I don't see any possibility of an increase. The caps already have been imposed under the Budget Control Act of 2010, those are 10 years worth of discretionary spending limitations. I don't see those caps ever going up. I think they are a ceiling," Capretta said. "If there is a budget agreement, in addition to tax and entitlement changes, there's a pretty good chance those caps would get lowered even further, not by a huge amount, but by some additional amount as part of a deficit reduction package."

Comcast survey says: Office tenants have a need for speed
According to a recent survey by Comcast, high-bandwidth connections from services such as metro Ethernet outweighed standby office amenities such as gyms and cafeterias when it came to picking an office location.
Comcast recently released the results of its 2011 State of Communications Services in Commercial Real Estate Survey, which polled nearly 500 commercial real estate owners and property managers across the county that are members of the Building Owners and Managers Association (BOMA).
The survey asked the respondents for their opinions on the importance of advanced communications services, including metro Ethernet, broadband Internet, voice, video and related services, all of which Comcast provides, for attracting and keeping tenants.
The results said that respondents would rather have access to advanced communications services instead of on-site gyms, cafeterias and other building perks when choosing office locations. Following price, parking and location, 90 percent of the respondents said that access to advanced communications services was their top priority.
More than one-third of respondents said that the topic of access to advanced communications services was raised in 75 percent of negotiations with prospective tenants. As a result, many property owners and building managers are expanding their network infrastructure options and using these technologies to give them a competitive edge and marketing tool for attracting and retaining tenants.
"As businesses look to accelerate their operations and reduce IT costs with SaaS and cloud-based services, companies are realizing that a scalable, reliable wide area network connection is critical to the success of their business, which is precisely why access to multiple fiber network connections is a top priority in recent office space searches," said Terry Connell, senior vice president for Comcast Business Services. "From high-rises in cities to suburban office parks, Comcast Business Class is already in 20 of the top 25 markets in the U.S., and we continue to actively build out our all-fiber network."
Other survey findings included:
- 61 percent of respondents reported that having advanced communications in their buildings gave them a competitive advantage.
- One out of every two respondents say that providing multiple service provider options positively impacts occupancy rates by up to 19 percent.
Earlier this year, Comcast started offering metro Ethernet services in more than 20 markets across the nation.

Creighton won the regular season title in the Missouri Valley, but it could be their final year in the league if a Big East offer comes. / Dave Weaver, USA TODAY Sports
Creighton hasn't announced its departure from the Missouri Valley Conference â?? and probably won't this week during the league's basketball tournament â?? but informal conversations have already begun on a plan of action should they join the Catholic 7/Big East, as expected.
According to a person with direct knowledge of the league's thinking, Denver and Belmont would have significant support as candidates to replace Creighton, with Loyola (Ill.) also getting consideration and Oral Roberts looming as a longshot with less support. The person spoke to USA TODAY Sports on the condition of anonymity because the league has not authorized anyone to speak publicly about the matter, and Creighton hasn't officially given notice of a departure.
Creighton has been one of the Valley's bellwether programs, with a strong fan base and eight NCAA tournament appearances in the past 13 years. The Valley won't be able to replace Creighton with a comparable program, but the person with knowledge said preserving the league's current public/private balance is important.
When asked Friday at the Missouri Valley Conference tournament in St. Louis about the potential candidates, league commissioner Doug Elgin said, "Very premature. Boldface and italicized. We still have 10 members. Anything I would say would be speculative and irresponsible. Of course we always have strategic planning, and certainly membership issues are always in that mix."
Ironically, Denver and Belmont have been caught up in the whirlwind of realignment already. Denver jumped from the Sun Belt to the WAC this season but announced it will join the Summit League in 2013-14. Belmont, which has been to five NCAA tournaments in the past seven years, jumped from the Atlantic Sun to the Ohio Valley this year. Both schools are among the favorites to win their respective league's automatic NCAA tournament bids this week.
Loyola is intriguing because it would give the Valley an entrée into the Chicago area, but the program has struggled the past six years and hasn't made the NCAA field since 1985.
It's unclear whether Creighton would be invited to join the Catholic 7/Big East next season or in 2014-15.
