National Fire Prevention Day
- The Great Chicago fire sparked major efforts in fire prevention. Forty years later, the Fire Marshall's Association of North America (FMANA) held the first Fire Prevention Day. In 1920, President Woodrow Wilson proclaimed Fire Prevention Week, noting in the previous year some 15,000 lives were lost to fire in the United States. In Canada, the first National Fire Prevention Day proclamation was issued by the Governor-General in 1919.

Cardio Progression
With running, as with any exercise routine, it's important to progress and advance safely. Doing too much too fast can lead to injury and stop you in your tracks. Figuring out how much running is enough to push yourself, and at what point it can become too much and dangerous, can be a difficult task. Just getting out there and running can be challenging, and having to also keep thinking and worrying about your limits can become overwhelming; but it doesn't have to be. Creating a steady running plan from the beginning will make sure you're exercising safely, and leaves you free to enjoy the journey.
Progression Dangers
Running too much, too quickly, is a recipe for disaster. Running has the potential of putting a lot of physical stress on the body, and overloading through cardio is just as dangerous as not following proper progression in strength training). Planning ahead and following safe running programs can help prevent common cardio injuries, like joint damage and shin splints.
Starting Running
If you're just considering starting a new running habit, it's important to start slow and find your pace. Starting too fast and too far can burn you out quickly and instill a negative connection with running. It's a good idea to first start with walking to make sure your body can handle your new level of activity. Make sure to check with your doctor before starting a new exercise routine, especially if you have a history of health issues.
After building up a consistent walking routine, and your confidence in your ability to move forward, you can begin taking the first steps to running. Start with a goal of 2 minutes, and see how you do. Take your time, and go for a slow jogging pace, until you get comfortable. From there, you're ready to build up and advance to the next level.
Running More
If you've already established a running habit, a safe progression program can be fairly easy to find and follow. Whether you're just jogging 5 minutes at a time, or training for longer distances, the progression systems you follow will be similar. How you progress depends a lot on your goals, and how you currently run.
When your goals consist of going further or longer, you can work to increase the distance and duration of your runs in a number of ways. Your focus throughout this process is not on speed, but merely managing to run more. Some people measure their runs in terms of distance, while others by time. Neither one is a better method, and they each have their benefits and drawbacks. Some people have more success working towards a distance goal, while others like to think about the time they are running. No matter which method you choose, your progressions will follow through with your preferred measurement system. For example, if you currently measure your run in terms of distance, like going for 3 miles, you will also base your increased on distance; and if you measure your runs based on a set period of time, going for a 30 minute run, you should increase your running in time increments.
The generally recommended progression for increasing your duration is an additional 5-20% each week, with a safe choice of around 10%. If you want to use the standard 10%, this means that you would add up how much you run in a given week, and multiply that by 1.1 and get your new maximum running duration for the next week. You can do less than 10% increases if you choose to, as long as you're not surpassing that amount. Use this new number to plan out your runs for the next week, splitting it up however you'd like throughout the week. You could change the distribution of your running from one week to another week, as long as you're doing it feasibly and safely. You can break up your runs into more or fewer days, or having some heavier days and some lighter days, as long as your weekly totals do not increase more than 10 percent. Do whatever works for your schedule and your lifestyle, as long as you're being careful and not pushing yourself too far.
For example, if you currently run one day a week for 4 miles, you would increase the next week to no more than 4.4 miles. If you run three days a week, each for 30 minutes, your total weekly running time is 1 hour and 30 minutes, or 90 minutes. To increase this safely, the next week you would run for a total of 99 minutes. You can break this up evenly for three days of running for 33 minutes each, or further to four days of 10 minutes, 40 minutes, 20 minutes, and 29 minutes.
This formula is a safe and easy way to increase your running distance and duration over time. While some people may get frustrated that the pace isn't enough to reach their goals as quickly as they would like, it works to lessen the chances of heartbreak due to potential injuries. It may take time, but it's an easy way to create and stick to a running plan, while hopefully avoiding unneeded harm from doing too much too quickly.

SOS opposes proposed development at old UI property
Save Our Shelton is opposed to the proposed zone change from Light Industrial to Planned Development District for Planning and Zoning application #17-18 at 801 Bridgeport Avenue at the former United Illuminating property. Our opposition is based on the following factors.
- While we appreciate the idea of utilizing existing buildings and existing building footprints, we are opposed to a shortsighted plan of development for the city that converts all Shelton's Light Industrial parcels of land into mixed use and retail. Light Industrial usage provides better paying jobs than retail. Industrial has the benefit of attracting not only businesses but also well paid workers who want to live in Shelton and contribute to our community.
- We are concerned, if not alarmed at the number of hotels, restaurants, and retail strip malls on Bridgeport Avenue. Yes, Bridgeport Avenue was zoned for development but not development with such a frightening amount of repetitive retail industries. There is one new hotel already approved on Bridgeport Avenue. Is another hotel needed? There are several new restaurants already under construction on Bridgeport Avenue. Are three more needed? There is a retail strip mall under construction at the corner of Bridgeport Avenue and Old Stratford Road and the strip mall at Big Y is just completed. Why is more retail space needed? Given the rise of online shopping and the retail clientele Shelton currently can secure, the proposed retail establishments may not weather a changing retail economy, doing more harm than good to Shelton's long term economic viability.
- Traffic is a current problem in Shelton. The number of businesses proposed on the 19 acre UI parcel will guarantee traffic problems in that section of Bridgeport Avenue. Traffic lights will be added and timing intervals will increase as will commute time. Residents already avoid Bridgeport Avenue at peak times, and concomitant problems will create a negative impact on people who seek to travel and do business in those areas. It is poor stewardship to clog Bridgeport Avenue beyond what it can reasonably withstand. Never, in the rush to approve a PDD, is any consideration given to funding more police officers or more fire equipment as new businesses are added.
- All of these concerns come together to form one conclusion. Residents of Shelton do not wish Bridgeport Avenue to be developed to resemble the Milford/Orange Post Road. In this instance, as in many others, the Planned Development District designation provides few benefits to residents and harms their quality of life. We encourage Planning & Zoning to rethink the PDD designation and place a moratorium on PDDs until more narrow guidelines for its use and benefits can be drafted.
Therefore, Save Our Shelton opposes the Planned Development District application #17-18 at 801 Bridgeport Avenue

I gently knocked on the glass door at MGFD, anticipating my first day behind the scenes with the Genuine. It was an early morning of quiet preparation before the upcoming weekend service, quite a different rhythm than my previous visits for the more hectic dinnertime. Upside down chairs rested atop thick moving blankets, protecting the wooden tables. The team's voices were barely above a whisper, soothed by the even mellower buzz of the oven.
I casually explored the kitchen, watching Michael pass through while carrying a box of Georgia peaches. The pastry department was already getting a head start on Hedy's favorite childhood treats, and Pastry Sous Chef Amy announced her presence with a gentle call, "Behind!", manuverearing her way through the narrow passageways. She quickly reached the standing mixer, holding a saucepan full of boiling simple syrup. Steadily, she added a thin stream of the sweetened hot liquid to a meringue for the house made cocoa nib marshmallows.
The marshmallows are one of the components for Hedy's s'mores, a re-thought classic done in a slightly smokier way. As the treat was explained to me, "It's basically just two house made cookies, a toasted house made marshmallows, melted smoked chocolate and…" I immediately interrupted the pastry pros for some serious clarification, "Did I just hear you say smoked chocolate?"
My first lesson behind the scenes with the Genuine. Surrounded by innovative ingredients and wonderful ideas on each day, the team at MGFD might reason that placing a chunk of chocolate in the smoker is a fairly standard concept. A regular day at the MGFD kitchen, right? Well, for a curious onlooker, it's just a tad bit more uncommon.
The chocolate for the s'mores is placed in the smoker for about an hour, low and slow. The heat doesn't actually melt the chocolate, instead the chunk slightly wilts and loses its firm shape. After leaving the smoker, the chocolate is melted in the kitchen, layered with a cookie or cracker and the house made marshmallows for a spin on one of Hedy's childhood favorite treats, the campfire s'more.
But the smoker gets even sweeter with the candied house smoked bacon. In itself, the bacon is cured through an eight day process, starting off with pork belly that's rubbed with sugar, maple syrup, pepper and pink salt. The pink salt is also known as saltpeter or sel rose and contains a small amount of sodium nitrite that helps make the meat resistant to oxidizing. It also supports a more stable protein complex.
The pork belly is then rotated every couple of days and, after being cured and dried, it's smoked for about three hours at 200°F. Michael's cookbook has the recipe for the maple cured bacon.
That's when the pastry department takes over. The house smoked bacon is sliced and soaked in a sticky syrup of molasses, brown sugar, brandy, maple syrup and black pepper. After twenty minutes of soaking, the syrup is drained and the bacon is baked on a rack. Once cooled, the candied bacon is used as a garnish for MGFD desserts, chopped and stirred into the ice creams churned daily or into thick batters for pastries.
Now that's what I call a Genuine, and seriously sweet, smoker.

Family sues Uber over death of girl, 6, says smartphone app violates state distracted-driving law
It hasn't taken long for a test case to arise concerning the potential liability of technology companies for smartphone apps that connect private drivers with paying passengers.
The family of a six-year-old girl killed in New Year's Eve auto accident filed a lawsuit against both the driver and Uber on Monday in San Francisco Superior Court. Among other allegations, it contends that the company's UberX app violates California state law against distracted driving, reports the San Francisco Chronicle.
Syed Muzzafar, 57, the driver who fatally struck Sofia Liu and injured her mother and younger brother as they were in a crosswalk, was a contractor of Uber. He was arrested on suspicion of vehicular manslaughter and failing to yield to pedestrians, although he has not yet been charged. His lawyer said Muzzafar is distraught over the accident and disappointed Uber has distanced itself from him since the accident.
The company declined to comment when contacted by the newspaper, but has said in the past that Muzzafar was not actually working for Uber at the time of the accident.
The California Public Utilities Commission requires companies like Uber to carry $1 million in commercial insurance that applies while drivers are "in transit to or during trips arranged through the Uber app," the Chronicle explains.
It isn't clear whether Muzzafar was interacting with the UberX app at the time of the accident. However, even if he was, the company almost undoubtedly had a rule against that, points out law professor Stephen Sugarman of the University of California-Berkeley. "I'm sure Uber will say that our policy is that you don't look at your cell phone while driving. It'd be crazy if they didn't have a policy against driving around looking at your cell phone."
The family's suit contends that Uber is responsible for the crash because its app is not hands-free and requires driver interaction. A driver "must respond quickly to a user request for service by physically interfacing with the app, thereby leading to distraction," it alleges.
The wrongful death case includes claims for negligent hiring and supervision.

Play and learn in a traffic jam with iPhone
Application: VProbke | Free | For iPhone | Set
All of these apps for Dating (or so-called "Dating") was so sick to find someone there is almost impossible. And then you can see users with other people's pictures, easy women (and men), besides such applications are all monotonous and boring. What is the solution?
Where to meet motorists easier? Of course, in traffic! Even in regions with road congestion is now not uncommon, not to mention Moscow or St. Petersburg. In addition, it is in a traffic jam boring us all: someone who smokes endlessly, one listen to 100 times the same library, others are reviewing "Game of thrones" and so on.
Application developers VProbke could "kill" two birds with one stone. First, they released the program for discovering neighbors in the tube. But they implemented it differently (questionnaire, boring questions, the endless belt accounts), and in the form of a game. Let's not talk about this boring dry tongue — it is better to show.
We enter in the application (for example, using Facebook) and immediately obtain access to the card user program. Data is updated in real time, and you can always see where is your user. They are all either stuck in traffic or are on the road — just like you, they want to find entertainment.
Component of the game that you requested to upgrade your car, paint it, install exhaust, change of lights, wheels and much more. Well then take and "wheel" your favorite user, and you can do this not only literally but figuratively — for example, if you are on the ring road, and the girl is on the Warsaw highway.
Yes, each user has his own virtual car, a very unusual and interesting. As soon as man or woman responds to your "tackle", you can start a chat. To cheer up the interlocutor can, posignalil him, but hard not lean constantly distracted driving is unsafe.
All users of the application communicate in-game, not afraid of this word, chat with someone to meet, you can simply pass the time in traffic. Upgrade your car or not — to solve certainly to you, but so much more interesting.
Not without a steep system of achievements, which give a nice reward — then you spend it to upgrade his "baby". Also pleased with the support for push notifications: no need to constantly keep the app open is less distracted from the road.
We would like largely to its unusual approach — and to communicate with motorists can, and play. This combination of highly passionate, so much so that I continue to play not only in car but also at home or in the office.

Failing to properly yield while entering a rotary, stopping at a stop sign, or proceeding through an intersection is a leading cause of car accidents in Somerville. Although failure to yield accidents may be caused by simple errors, the injuries from a resulting accident could be devastating. However, it is often possible to hold those who violate the law accountable for their actions. In addition to gathering vital evidence in a case, a Somerville failure to yield accident lawyer could help you demonstrate negligent action to insurance companies and courts. Although seeking recovery after any car accident can be frustrating, a dedicated car accident attorney may be able to communicate effectively with insurance companies on your behalf and aggressively work to protect your rights.
The Massachusetts state legislature has enacted statutes to clearly establish who has the right of way in potentially confusing traffic situations. Legally, all vehicles must yield to drivers already in an intersection, and drivers must yield to those on the right-hand side if they approach an intersection simultaneously. Furthermore, all motorists are expected to comply with traffic control signals.
Failing to abide by any of these laws violates the duty of care drivers hold to others on the road. Whenever a person violates a traffic law and causes injury to another, it is possible their actions could amount to negligence.
In these cases, a Somerville failure to yield accident lawyer could answer questions regarding Massachusetts' yield laws and potential claims, including what damages are potentially compensable. Depending on their individual circumstances, injured parties could seek compensation for their injuries, property damage, and other harm sustained.
Massachusetts General Laws ch.89 §9 states that failing to yield is prima facie evidence of negligence. Generally, this means the court would assume an individual is at fault for an accident if they are cited for failure to yield. This can be impactful for plaintiffs who are seeking potential damages.
Usually, injured parties are tasked with demonstrating how negligence caused an accident when they seek legal action. However, in failure to yield cases, Somerville plaintiffs are only tasked with proving an accident caused injury and resulted in damages. This may be accomplished through documentation of medical expenses or pain suffered.
An experienced failure to yield accident lawyer in Somerville could assist with quantifying damages to ensure potential compensation is fair. However, potential plaintiffs may wish to contact an attorney relatively soon after a crash, as the Massachusetts statute of limitations for civil cases stipulates that a claim must be filed within three years of the date of the accident for victims to be able to recover.
Any car accident places people in a difficult situation. Severe injuries may necessitate weeks or months of extensive medical treatment to fully heal, which may require significant time away from work. Given the additional stress of insurance companies denying liability or offering unfair settlements, this could make recovering a challenge.
While no accident is simple, a dedicated Somerville failure to yield accident lawyer could highlight clear violations of traffic law to help you proactively pursue recovery. Your attorney may be able to collect powerful evidence such as police reports, communicate with insurance companies, and review any potential settlement offers to ensure your rights are protected. Call today to schedule a free consultation, discuss your accident, and learn more about your options.

Comments about Path of Exile PS4
The Path of Exile PS4 was successful because the author knew what they wanted to achieve, they did it, and passed it to the RPG Market Console, a title that would hardly attract attention. For more information, our comment on the Path of Exile Sony console is the serial number for many years, which has experienced many difficulties, delays and cancellations to finally go, but fortunately offers a free PS store, even nearly six After the original version of the year at the end of the course of 2013, when we look back, we will remember that the title is a sufficiently high-quality content and complete title with many loyal fans and considerable success. So, after almost a whole generation of games, how this success is transformed, and what else can be done.
First of all, individuals who are fortunate enough to spend their time on your computer, playing the initial format in the exile, will give you joy once they see the PS4 version has transpired through each of the gear grinders. Among the most interesting action RPGs provided with a large number of available missions, leagues and events provide hours and hours of participation. The same is true on the basic part on the gameplay. Players result from 6 known categories (Desire, Marauder, Ranger, Shadow Templar and Witch) and 3 attributes (Dexterity, Power and Intelligence) which will shape the smoothness and skill tree selection. As we all know, restrictions tend not to exist, and everyone can shape their route amongst players as they please. The bad thing would be that the basic elements in the title are not only found positive but additionally infinite customization. The structure from the game is maintained through loop farming to find the necessary nodes and POE Orbs to remain as it becomes smoother plus the player's progress. This method is incredibly interesting in May 2013, in case you repeat now to reach the point in which you were six in years past, you could lose your interest. But if this is actually the first time you enter contact with the experience environment than the is an important warning.
In the technical field, we found the weakest point in the PS4 version. Although there is no technical problem, and the graphics seem to have been properly groomed, everything seems to be slow motion, the animation is outdated, and all the movements are too irritating. Worst of all, the most affected part is fighting, and rarely works as anyone imagines. On the other hand, when hard disk space grows at a crazy rate, few games can boast that they have endured so much time and keep their small size. Finally, it's worth noting that although the other unnecessary micro-transactions of the title have ended, Grinding Gears has released a series of bundled sales that everyone can purchase through the PS store. Some of them offer satisfactory extra tasks, leagues, weapons, XP, skin and other tracks not in the regular version. Most are very expensive, ranging in price from 19 euros to 149 euros, but considering the different parts of the game and providing the many changes mentioned above, the reasons for these bundles are not very convincing. So players can buy POE Currency in some online stores, and Google has a lot of trusted websites to choose from.
Of course, gleam lack of titles in multiplayer games, which might be the only fully upgraded the main title. Rich, rich choices, from battles and missions to special room exchanges, but in addition fully functional, this piece achieves its purpose. The experience has further expanded and entertainment remains to be high, and that is another take into account the already very busy proposal. In any case, after many years of the first appearance on my pc, a sport like Path of Exile was launched on the console, laying the groundwork for just a very interesting and different experiment. Every point from the title was in opposition to its original form. The fact is that though it is not successful in any respect, it offers a pleasant nostalgia to individuals who are ready to take the time to go back to the past. At the same time, the diversity and surface excellence of the game, and several necessary corrective actions give you a package which could comfortably attract new players.

Jamie Foxx was given a different name at birth...
Jamie Foxx is an actor, musician AND a writer…basically he's got the lot! Check out these 11 things you didn't know about the US star…
Adopted as a baby
Eric Marlon Bishop, as Jamie was named at birth, was adopted by his maternal grandmother at just seven months old and he admits he still wonders 'why my parents didn't want me'. He lived with his grandmother in a house just around the corner from his birth mother, but had very little contact with her and considers his grandparents his 'real' family.
Whatever Happened To…? Tom Selleck, the actor who played Monica Gellar's boyfriend in Friends
He started out with Jim Carrey
Jamie, now 47, kicked off his career in 90s comedy show In Living Color – the same show that gave Jim Carrey his first break. Jamie was such a hit with viewers that when he left, the Fox network offered him his own self-titled show from 1996-2001.
Cunning career move
When Jamie – or Eric as he was still known then – started performing at comedy open mic nights in 1989, he noticed female comedians would often be called to the stage before male performers. So he changed his forename to the gender-neutral Jamie and chose his surname in honour of his favourite comedian Red Foxx.
He started in comedy, but is now best known for acting in films like Ray, Django Unchained and Law Abiding Citizen. He's also an award-winning musician – in the last 10 years he's released three albums and worked with the likes of Ne-Yo, TI, Kanye West and Justin Timberlake.
Arrest drama
In 2003, Jamie and his younger sister Deidra Dixon, then 25, were arrested at a New Orleans casino after they allegedly refused to show their ID cards and became confrontational when asked to leave. Police were called and it was reported the siblings had to be subdued with pepper spray. Jamie has revealed he's felt unfairly targeted by police in the past, saying: 'As a black man, I fear certain cops when
I'm pulled over.'
Oscar winner
Jamie's one of only six celebs with both an Oscar for acting – for his role as Ray Charles in Ray – and a Billboard No 1 album. The others are Cher, Barbra Streisand,
Bing Crosby, Shirley Jones and Frank Sinatra.
Family man
Jamie's two daughters Corinne, 21, and Annalise, six, have different mums, but he's never revealed their identities. He's every inch the proud dad though, and even brought Corinne with him to the Oscars in 2004 when he won.
Partying hard
In 2012, Jamie had what might just be the most hardcore New Year's Eve ever. He first celebrated in Australia, then flew to Las Vegas to do it all over again!
Support for his sister
Jamie's sister Diondra Dixon, 31, has Down's syndrome and provided inspiration to others after Jamie cast her in the video for his 2008 single Blame It (On The Alcohol). Jamie says of his sis: 'One thing people may not understand is that the person with special needs, the love that they give you is unfiltered.' Aww.
He got his horse into acting!
One of Jamie's past birthday presents was a horse named Cheetah, which came in very handy when he filmed Django Unchained in 2011. A horse was needed to play Django's trusty steed Tony and Jamie promptly got Cheetah the part. Despite having no previous acting experience, Cheetah took to the role like a natural.
Foxx vs Tyson
Jamie met Mike Tyson when he rocked up to the comedy club he was performing at. There was just one problem: Jamie's routine contained a joke about the boxer. Jamie recalls: 'I get to my Mike Tyson joke, I'm about to kill it and it's complete silence because he's in the audience. This is back in the time when Mike was knocking people out for having the wrong shirt.' Jamie went ahead and told the joke and luckily Mike saw the funny side. 'He said: "You're so funny, I want to hang out with you,"' reveals Jamie. Phew!

NASCAR Sprint Cup Series
Samsung 500
Texas Motor Speedway
A.J. Allmendinger Open Interview
Dodge PR
A.J. Allmendinger (No. 22 Shell/Pennzoil Dodge Charger R/T) "For me, I've always liked Texas. You know it's kind of been hit or miss for me. There have been times I've been really fast here and there are other times that I've kind of struggled a little bit, but look forward to it. I felt like at Las Vegas, we had a fast race car until we had the fuel pump issues. Coming here, kind of coming with the same ideas and the same setups. After Martinsville, I think it was just good to have an overall good race. I mean the finish itself was good. We weren't a second-place car, but we were kind of a top-five to a top-eight car all day. We just kind of finally had a solid day. We put everything together. More than anything, that was something I was excited about. Every weekend, for myself and (crew chief) Todd Gordon, it's about building team chemistry and moving forward. Hopefully, the momentum that we got from Martinsville is something that we can carry. We've had fast racecars all year, so I feel coming to Texas that we should be pretty good throughout the whole weekend."
DID YOU LIKE HAVING THE WEEK OFF AFTER YOUR GREAT FINISH AT MARTINSVILLE? "No, I mean, I think it was the right time to kind of take a break to just kind of look back over the first six races and see where our strengths are, where are weaknesses are, give the whole shop, the whole race team, time to kind of regroup. For me, I'm excited to come here. I was excited during the off weekend just thinking about it, but I felt overall it was a good time for us to just kind of look back. And as I said, I think every weekend it's myself and Todd Gordon, we're trying to find that right thing that I look for in a race car. I feel like we're getting closer and closer to it. Martinsville was a weekend that we struggled all weekend and kind of made some big changes before the race, kind of the direction that I've gone in the past and it worked. We weren't perfect by any means, but we had been a lot better than we had been all weekend. I think we carried that same idea coming here and just keep working on building it. So it was just good for us to have that time to think about it."
WHAT DO YOU ENJOY ABOUT RACING AT NIGHT AND WHAT ARE THE CHALLENGES THAT YOU FACE? "I always enjoy the night races and I think that NASCAR has got a good mix of day races and night races. Texas is always a fun race to come to at night. You get a big crowd here and there's always a lot of energy. To me it's a fun race to really have as our first real night race of the season.
"The challenges, I think the biggest thing is practicing during the day and then going into race conditions that you haven't really experienced all weekend. That's something that's a challenge.
"You look at the schedule this weekend which is kind of a strange schedule. You've got one practice today. More than anything, you kind of focus on a little bit of race trim, but the problem is the track is pretty clean. You know nobody's run on it yet, so this is a place that really gets rubbered up throughout the course of a weekend. And you look at tomorrow's practice, that's going to be a challenge because you're not working on anything that's going to be similar to race conditions. So I think that's the biggest thing, just trying to keep up with the racetrack through the weekend and then at night, once you start the race, just how much the track changes from the start of the race to the end of the race."
215 MPH AT MICHIGAN, THAT'S FAST EVEN FOR A GUY LIKE YOU? "It's going to be interesting. It's going to be, obviously, the guys that tested at Michigan and saw how fast that place is; Pocono is going to be the same way. I mean I think we saw just how much speed it added down the straightaway when they just added that patch in Turn 3. So I'm looking forward to it. I'm excited about getting there and being able to do the tire test; we're going to be a part of that. It'll definitely be a fast racetrack. It'll be interesting to see how smooth it is because that was something that Pocono, especially the last couple of years, it seemed like Turn 1 was really bumpy, Turn 2 was getting bumpy. The only thing that made Turn 3 bumpy was the patch that they had put across the corner. I'm looking forward to getting there just seeing what the track looks like."
DO YOU NEED TO SLOW THE CARS DOWN? "We're race car drivers. Why would we want to slow down, you know? I mean, that's what it's all about. The speeds are what they are. To me, if the corner has grip, obviously, it's no different than it was before. If there's a problem at the end of the straightaway like Jeff Gordon had several years ago, it's going to be a big hit. Ultimately, speeds are fine. It's just a matter of whether it's going to be good racing; whether you have multiple grooves that allows for side-by-side racing. I think that's what we're most focused on."
BEING WE'RE IN TEXAS, HAVE YOU EVER HAD A DESIRE TO ROPE A COW OR GO ON A MECHANICAL BULL? ? "It was a few years ago when I was in Champ Car, they did the first year at Reliant Stadium around the stadium, they did the street course there. They brought us all in early to promote the race. The Rodeo was in town. I remember they put us next to a live bull. That thing was in a cage and ready to go. I want no part of that. Those guys are crazy. The bull riders, they make race car drivers look like sissies, really, when it comes to it. I have no desire to be on it. The closest I've got to one is a mechanical bull. I look good on it, but I don't want to ride a real one, I can tell you that right now."
YOU WERE IN HOUSTON RECENTLY; WOULD YOU WANT TO COMPETE IN THE IRL EVENT IN HOUSTON AGAIN? "I'm kind of busy with my regular job. You know, to me it's no different than any other race. If there's an opportunity, I'd love to race it, but I think my schedule kind of gets in the way of that. But it's cool for them to come back. It was a big race when I was there and to have IndyCar bring that race back is going to be really cool."
HAS THERE EVER BEEN A POINT IN YOUR CAREER THAT THE ENTIRE PACKAGE…CAR, RACE TEAM, INFRASTRUCTURE, ETC., THAT YOU'VE EVER FELT SO CAPABLE? "There are moments that I felt like okay, we're close and then the next week, you feel that you're not that close. I think here now at the Penske organization, the stuff is there. The package is there. We've just got to keep working to get to that point. You know, when you come with a brand new team and just everybody around me is brand new, compared with what I know, and Todd Gordon is brand new to the Cup series, it just takes time. It's hard for me to try to remember, but we've had fast race cars every weekend. So you know I think we've got to keep putting ourselves in position. You look at Martinsville and you know, we weren't a race-winning car all day. We were a good car. I felt like on long runs, we were a top-five car. Nobody was as good as the Hendrick cars, but that's what these races are all about, putting yourself in position to have something lucky happen, to have a chance to win the race. We've just got to do that more and more – keep having fast cars and keep learning together.
"Obviously Brad (Keselowski) and Paul Wolfe have shown they're capable every weekend. Todd and I have just got to get there. We're getting closer every weekend. After six races, you know, I look at if we wouldn't have had the problems that we've had, we could be right there in points. But heck, a lot of people could say that. The biggest thing that I know is that the stuff is there. I just got to keep getting there. As a team, together, we have to keep getting there. The equipment is there and once we do, we'll be there for a long time."

There is no civil war in hell
Our Lord is accused of being in league with devils by the pharisees when he casts out devils. Our Lord says "Every kingdom divided against itself, shall be brought to desolation, and house upon house shall fall Luke 11:17". Our Lord warns them; all sins will be forgiven, all blasphemies can be forgiven, but he who blasphemes against the Holy Spirit he will never have forgiveness, because he is guilty of a eternal sin. What is this eternal sin, the sin that cannot be forgiven?

Other Sinful Things
by Ronyx
Chapter 4
Copyright © 2016 by Ronyx. All Rights Reserved
Dear God,
I've been sitting here for hours reading the New Testament for something Jesus said about homosexuality, and I can't find one word. There is some scripture that my father uses on Sundays from the Old Testament to justify his hatred for someone being gay, but I can't find anything that Jesus said. And I need to know because I think I'm gay, and I really don't want to go to Hell like my father says just because of that. I've really tried to change, but I can't. Since I was about thirteen, I've tried to avoid any thoughts of it, but it is becoming increasingly more difficult. I don't want to be gay, but I don't think I can change. I really don't. So if I am gay, will you hate me?
I thought about throwing my notebook away after I read this last entry. If my father ever discovers it, I'm not sure how he'll react. One thing I'm sure of, it won't be good. He hates gay people. I've heard him say it many times over the years. Last year, when he was reading the newspaper, and it showed two guys getting married and then kissing each other on the lips, I thought my father was going to have a heart attack. He slammed the newspaper on the table, and then he made me and my mother pray with him for a half hour as he asked God to forgive our sinful nation. He prayed so hard I was sure that Jesus would appear in the sky riding a golden chariot and begin the Rapture. It kind of scared me.
So I can never tell him or my mother that I think I'm gay. I also don't think I can deny it any longer. I'm beginning to feel like a volcano getting ready to erupt at any moment. Last night when I started thinking about Colton and I got an erection, I couldn't just roll over and forget about it. I didn't want to wake up in the middle of the night with a mess in my underwear. So I did it. I can't describe how good it felt to think about kissing Colton as we sat in the park as it grew dark. I was breathless when I exploded all over my stomach. My chest heaved with pleasure as I wiped off the gooey mess.
But you know what? I didn't feel guilty. I didn't panic that I would be banished to Hell for what I had just done. The only thing now I worry about is that my father will discover my secret. So I have to hide my notebook where he or my mother will never discover it. That's why I'm going to take it to school and keep it in my locker. If I leave it in my room, my mother will surely find it when she cleans. If she does, then she will show it to my father. And then my life will be ruined.
When I went down for breakfast, my mother was alone in the kitchen. My father wasn't at the table perusing the morning paper. I wanted to ask her where he was, but I didn't.
"Good morning, Sweetheart," she sang out as I sat down at the table. She leaned in to kiss my forehead, but I pulled away.
She sounded disappointed when she remarked, "I guess you think you're getting too old for his mother to kiss him anymore." I wanted to tell her that I wasn't a child, but I pulled my cereal in front of me and began eating.
There was an unusual silence. She kept looking at me like she had something to ask, but she didn't. I figured she wanted to ask where I had spent most of the day after walking out.
I got up and rushed from the room when I noticed the time on the kitchen clock. The bus would arrive in just a few minutes. I grabbed my book bag and ran toward the street just as the bus pulled up with its red warning lights.
I avoided looking at anyone as I made my way to my usual seat in the back. When the bus lurched forward, I looked out the window and waited until we came to Tiffany's stop. I was surprised when the driver slowed down, and then he continued without stopping. I looked out the window, but I didn't see Tiffany. I guess she had decided to let her mother drive her to school. I don't blame her. I would have too if I had been treated like she had been yesterday morning.
I looked for Tiffany in the hall between classes during the morning, but I never saw her. If it was like yesterday morning, then she would be easy to spot. All one had to do was listen for laughter in the hallways.
During lunch, I sat with Cathy. She smiled when I sat across from her. I guess we were both happy that we wouldn't be eating alone during the year. I watched as she thumbed frantically though a notebook. "Dammit," she hissed.
I asked, "What's wrong?"
"I can't find my notes for literature," she informed me.
I giggled and said, "You take notes in Mrs. Hawthorne's class?"
She looked up and asked, "Yes, don't you?"
"Well, no," I informed her. "Everything she says in class is already in the book."
"I like to be prepared," she muttered as she continued to search. Finally, she opened her notebook, pointed to a page and said she had found them. I congratulated her, and then continued to eat.
As I took a bite of my sandwich, I noticed Colton come through the double doors on the other side of the cafeteria. I didn't realize I was staring so intently until Cathy began to laugh.
"He's really cute," she remarked. "Don't you think so?"
I didn't know what to say. Panic seized me, and I was afraid I had unintentionally outed myself to her. I looked over and asked nervously, "Who?"
She giggled again and replied, "Colton." She looked at him as he saw me and came strutting across the cafeteria. "Don't you think he's hot?"
I stammered out, "I..I don't know...what...what you're talking about."
"Oh, look," she remarked excitedly, "he's coming over to the table."
My heart was pounding out of my chest as he walked up, stood looking down at the table. "Hey, Jacob," he smiled. He looked over at Cathy and waved. "Hi, Cathy." She timidly waved back.
He pulled out a chair and asked if he could sit down. I was too nervous to respond, but Cathy eagerly told him to join us. "Thanks," he said as he sat down. I avoided looking up into his face. I could imagine that Cathy and other students sitting nearby were looking at us.
Colton laughed and said, "If I had known I would get the silent treatment, I would have eaten at another table."
Cathy giggled and informed him, "Jacob's a little nervous." I shot Cathy a dirty look. She seemed to be enjoying embarrassing me. She had discovered my secret, and I wasn't sure what she would do with that information.
I wanted to hide under the table when Colton told Cathy, "He wasn't nervous last night?"
"Oh?" replied Cathy as she gave me a suspicious look.
I quickly informed her, "We were just talking at the park last night." I looked at Colton and with pleading eyes begged him, "Isn't that all we did?"
I wanted to jump up from the table and rush from the cafeteria when he seriously replied, "Was that before or after we made out?" Cathy grabbed her mouth so she wouldn't spit out the milk she had just sipped through a straw.
I shrieked softly, "We didn't make out!"
Colton laughed, grabbed my arm and attempted to calm me. "Relax, Jacob," he laughed. "Can't you take a joke?"
My face began to redden with anger. "I don't think it's funny, Colton." I looked over at Cathy who was watching us closely. "You make it sound like we're...we're gay."
"Come on, Jacob," pleaded Colton when he realized how upset I was. "I was just clowning around."
"Well," I huffed. "I don't think it's funny." I grabbed what remained of my lunch, tossed my book bag over my shoulder and stormed from the table. I was almost to the door when Colton grabbed my shoulder.
"Come on, Jacob," he pleaded. "I'm really sorry. I was just having fun. I didn't think you would take it so seriously."
He followed me out into the hall. When he grabbed my arm again, I turned and hollered, "Just leave me alone." I knew I had hurt his feelings. He stood looking at me with a sad expression.
He hung his head and mumbled, "Okay." As he walked dejectedly away, I heard him say, "I thought we were going to be friends."
I walked down the hall and out into the commons area where students were allowed to gather outside. Some hid behind the corner to smoke cigarettes. Occasionally, a vice principal would wander around monitoring students. Smokers always had another student act as a lookout for them. He or she would start coughing loudly, and soon students would innocently reappear from around the corner.
I walked over and sat down on a bench. The sun was shining brightly, and the warmth of the sun felt soothing. I began to think about what had happened, and the more I thought about it, the angrier I became. Not with Colton, but with myself.
Colton's remarks were harmless and meant as a joke. He had tried to elicit a laugh. My actions, however, were childish. Instead of playing along, I had become upset. If Cathy had been suspicious of my sexuality, I had certainly given her an answer. I had acted defensively, and in doing so, I had revealed my secret. And not to just Cathy, but Colton as well.
I had my head back and was letting the sun warm my face. I was still thinking about what happened in the cafeteria when suddenly I heard a voice beside me. Cathy softly said, "It's not the end of the world, you know."
I opened my eyes, squinted at her and asked, "What?"
She repeated, "It's not the end of the world."
"What are you talking about?"
A serious expression appeared on her face as she looked around to see if we were alone before stating softly, "Being gay."
I sat up and turned toward her. "What?"
She reached out and touched my arm. I quickly pulled it away. She smiled slightly and said, "It's okay, Jacob."
I looked at her and asked incredulously, "Why do you think I'm gay?"
"I'm not saying you are," she replied apologetically. "I just said that if you are, it's okay."
I turned my back on her and insisted, "Well, I'm not."
Just then, the bell rang. We stood and Cathy said we should be getting to our fifth period class. As we walked toward the door, she wrapped her arm around mine.
She looked over and asked, "Do you think I'm cute?"
I looked down at her smiling face and replied, "Of course you're cute."
We walked about half way down a hall before she looked up and asked, "Do you think Colton is cute?" I suddenly stopped and looked down at her. Before I had time to ask her why she had asked me that, she giggled and said, "You don't have to say anything. I was just curious. I suppose it's really none of my business."
"No," I replied as we started walking down the hall with her arm wrapped around mine. "It isn't any of your business."
We came to another hallway and Cathy pulled away. "I have to get to class." When she started laughing, I asked her what was so funny. She smiled and said, "You didn't say no." She turned and hurried down the hall. I shook my head and wondered if she would understand if I told her the truth. Maybe then I would have someone I could trust to talk about the turmoil brewing inside me.
I was lying across my bed reading an assignment for history when my mother called me to the table for dinner. Dinner before had been a quiet activity. After saying grace, we would eat without much conversation. Occasionally, my mother would ask me about school, but after several weeks my responses were generally the same. School is school. It hasn't changed all that much since they probably attended.
They were waiting when I entered the dining room. It was the first time I had seen my father since I walked away from the table the night before when he started ranting about Tiffany. I was sure there was going to be a repeat performance.
I was surprised by the silence. After saying grace, my parents didn't say anything to me. In fact, they didn't speak to each other. I wondered if they were mad. I had overheard them arguing about my disruption at the table the previous evening. My mother had seemed to be more sympathetic toward Tiffany. She did finally agree with my father, but she probably did it to quiet him rather than to conform to what he was saying.
My mother was the first to break the silence. "Jacob," she turned and looked at me nervously. "Your father and I have discussed your future."
I frowned and asked, "My future? What about my future?"
My father continued to eat as she reached over and gently touched my arm. "We are worried," she said, "that you may not be getting the best education at your school."
I looked at her skeptically and asked, "What does that mean? I like my school."
She glanced quickly at my father and stated nervously, "We've been talking, your father and I, and we think that it might be best if I home school you."
"What?" I shouted. "Home school me? Why? I have one more year before I graduate."
Her voice trembled as she spoke. I looked over at my father. I knew she was only repeating what he had ordered. "I don't want to be home schooled," I insisted angrily.
For the first time, my father spoke. "You don't have a choice," he said firmly. He looked over at my mother, and then he stated, "We have decided that it will be best if your mother teaches you here at home."
I looked back and forth between them. "You're kidding, right?"
He leaned over, peered angrily into my face and hissed, "Do I look like I'm kidding?"
I didn't know what to say. They had obviously made the decision without even discussing it with me. Rage was beginning to consume me. I had never felt so angry in my life.
I stood and glared down at my father. "This is about Tiffany, isn't it? You don't want me to go to the same school she goes to."
My father rose slowly. His face with red with anger. He muttered in a stern voice, "I told you never to use that name in this house."
We stood toe to toe facing each other. My mother stood and came around the table and stood beside my father. I think she was afraid I was going to hit my father. The thought briefly occurred to me, but I refrained from the violence I felt within me. "You can't do this," I insisted. "I refuse to drop out of school."
"You're not dropping out of school," replied my mother softly. "It's just that I'll be teaching you."
I looked at her and screamed, "I don't want you to teach me!"
"Enough!" shouted my father as he grabbed me by my shoulders and pushed me back. I stumbled over my chair and fell to the floor. I felt a searing pain in my arm, and I thought I had broken it.
My father looked down at me and shouted angrily, "Get up, Jacob!"
I held my arm as I tried to rise to my feet. The pain was excruciating. I finally managed to stand before my father. I looked into his eyes and hissed, "I hate you!"
An astonished look appeared on his face as he took a step back. I don't think he was expecting my sudden outburst of emotion. He stepped over to his chair, and slowly sunk into it.
He then looked over at my mother. "After everything I've done for Jacob," he said sadly, "He now stands before me and says he hates me." I looked down at my mother, and she was crying.
I began to shake, and I was afraid that if I stayed, I would become too emotional. So, I turned and ran from the room. I opened the kitchen door, and took the steps two at a time. I didn't stop running until I was two blocks from my home.
Since I had nowhere to go, I decided to go to the park. It was the closest safe place. The only problem was Colton might be there. I was too emotionally upset to talk to anyone.
When I arrived, I looked around, but he wasn't there. I went and sat under the same tree where I had sat the day before. The same boys appeared to be playing baseball.
As I sat and idly watched them, I still couldn't believe what happened earlier. It was unimaginable that my parents wanted to pull me out of school and have my mother teach me. My mother was an intelligent woman, but there is no way she could tutor me in some of the classes I was taking, like chemistry and Spanish. She couldn't even pronounce some of the items on the menu at a Mexican restaurant we sometimes visited for dinner when she didn't feel like cooking.
And my father. I don't think that for as long as I live, I'll ever forget the look on his face when I told him I hated him. To him, I had always been the loyal son. Until a few days ago, I had never given him any reason to doubt that I was anything but an obedient son. I attended his sermons each Sunday, and recently he had given me the task of teaching the pre-school children Sunday school. Along with Mrs. Chesterfield, a mother of five whose own children was now grown and moved away, each week we read from children's book about the teaching of Jesus. We'd end each Sunday class singing 'Jesus Loves Me.'
Now, I don't know what he thinks of me. The past two evenings, I had been rude and disrespectful. Tonight, I even stood facing him and told him that I hated him. And I think I hurt him, hurt him deeply.
I didn't mean to tell him I hated him. I really was angry at his stubborn, bigoted ways. But when I looked into his eyes and saw his eyes narrow in anger, I said what I thought at that particular moment. I did hate him. I hated him for trying to make me do something that he knew I didn't want to do. I hated him for his unchristian views toward Tiffany. Doesn't the New Testament teach us about love, understanding and compassion?
Then why doesn't my father possess any compassion? He is a bitter man filled with hatred. He hates everything. He rambles on at the dinner table each night about sin and sinners. His Sunday sermons are filled with the same intolerant rants. I don't think I've ever heard the word, love, slip from his lips except when he talks about how the Lord loves us.
I guess there is a fine line between hating my father and hating what he stands for. After seventeen years, they have begun to blend together. So maybe I did mean it when I told him I hated him. Now, I'm afraid he will never forgive me for saying how I feel inside.
I need my notebook. I have to write to God what I'm feeling, but it is locked away in my locker at school. Writing helps me put things in order, and it helps me to see things more clearly. Right now, I'm so lost I don't know what direction I'm being pulled. A part of me wants to crawl back to my father and beg his forgiveness. I want him to kneel down and pray for my salvation. I want him to absolve me of all my sins.
However, another part of me is telling me that I am right. I don't need absolution, my father does. His hate has made him journey so far from the teachings of Christ. Jesus said, "Love thy neighbor as thyself." He commanded his apostles to love one another. He warned to forgive others for their sins, or he would not forgive us.
Why doesn't my father preach these things in his Sunday sermons? Instead, he rants about how people sin against God. I'm so sick of his weekly ravings about abortion, drug abuse and homosexuality. Now, he is obsessed with Tiffany and other transgendered individuals.
Has he stopped for one moment and considered that he just may be wrong? Maybe some of the things he raves about are true. Maybe some people do need to look to the Lord for help, like the heroin addict on the street. But how can two people who love each other be wrong? And how can he call Tiffany a sinner when he's never even sat down and talked to her? Without knowing her, he's already judged her. And doesn't that go against everything that Jesus ever preached.
So one thing bothers me deeply. If my father is right, and if God is a wrathful god who condemns sinners to Hell for the sins that my father preaches each Sunday morning, then how can I continue to believe? I am gay. According to my father, I will be banished to Hell for being gay. Even if I seek God's forgiveness, and even if I become baptized again and become reborn, I'll still be gay, and I'll still be a sinner in my father's eyes.
When I shouted, "I hate you," my mind was embracing all these thoughts. I do hate my father for everything he stands for. And tonight, I hate him as a man of God. I may have been born of his seed, but I am nothing like him. Nor do I want to be.
I rested back on my elbows and watched the boys playing baseball. It was a mixture of ages. Some appeared to be in their twenties, and the youngest was about twelve. I giggled occasionally because the older guys seemed to tire out quickly. The beer case they had hidden under several large towels didn't help.
I sat up when I saw a blue Toyota van pull into the parking lot near the field. It was my mother's van. I squinted my eyes to see if anyone was with her. She sat for several minutes looking around the park. Suddenly, she noticed me sitting under the tree.
She got out and stood beside her car for a couple of minutes before closing the door. She appeared to be waiting until the inning was over so she could walk directly across the field to me.
Between innings, she started to approach me. I thought I might have to get up and fight a guy when he stopped and said something to my mother for disrupting their game. Finally, she made her way over to me, stopped and looked down.
She stated firmly, "I want you to come get in the van with me, Jacob."
I squinted my eyes, peered up at her and asked, "Why?" She appeared nervous as she looked around to see if anyone was watching us.
She repeated, "I want you to come get in the van with me." She then turned and headed back across the field. The boys were still playing, and several yelled at her to get off the field.
I got up and walked far enough away from where I thought it was reasonably safe to not get hit by a fly ball. I couldn't understand how my mother had found me. She must have been driving around for an hour before spotting me.
When I reached the van, she opened her door and instructed me to get in. I hesitated before opening the door. I assumed she was taking me home. I certainly didn't want another confrontation with my father. I planned to go directly to my room and avoid him if I could.
When I looked into the back seat, I saw two pieces of luggage that we normally packed when we went on a religious retreat. I looked at my mother and asked, "What's going on?"
"Get in, Jacob," she insisted as she started the van.
I climbed inside and looked back at the luggage. "Are we going somewhere?"
She didn't look over as she said sharply, "You are."
"Where am I going?"
"Your father and I thought it would be best if you stayed away for a while," she informed me without emotion.
"What?" I shrieked. "Where am I going?"
"You'll be staying with Mrs. Oliver until we think you're ready to come home."
"You're kidding, right?"
She looked over and stated angrily, "No, Jacob. I'm not kidding."
I sat back and folded my arms. "Fine," I said angrily. Neither of us said another word.

Shocking Truths About Chronic Pain and Diseases
What if I told you I was diagnosed as being lazy and that my medical condition was because of my laziness and that they were all just psychological? The problem didn't stop there…they went further by recommending my husband to divorce me since I was such a lazy person.
I became interested in natural healing in 1988 after three years of mostly laying in bed with migraine headaches, chronic fatigue and allergies. The medical professional that I paid and sought help from for years finally told me my problem was that I didn't like doing housework and I was bringing this problem on myself.
What would you do if you were told that everything was just in your head when you are struggling and trying your best to find the answers to feel better? Imagine years of paying medical bills without getting the results, only more side effects to show!
I had to find my answers….
I started taking natural healing classes from Doctor John Christopher's Academy of Herbal Health. One of the things that he strongly believed was that "death begins in the colon." He believed:
• 95% of all diseases could be cleared up by doing a colon cleanse
• Herbs work and active ingredients of the herb were in the oils of the plant
• Best way to use or assimilate an herb was either in a tea that steeped the oil out of the herb into the water or a tincture that drew the oil out into the alcohol
His teachings opened up a new awareness to me about essential oils. I read everything I could get my hands on about essential oils by listening to tapes went to seminars and trainings and started practicing what I learned on friends, family, patients and myself.
My life began to turn around when I got control of my chronic fatigue by using essential oils full time. I started recommending essential oils to my patients for various other complaints, including fibromyalgia, infertility, scoliosis, emotional upsets and everything in between.
The results were phenomenal….
Here are two testimonials:
A little more than a year ago, I was just like the lady you are describing. After attending a class and being introduced to YL oils, I began to diffuse "gentle" scented oils at the farthest point in my house from where I was. I also began a detox program. I soon found Dr. LeAnne Deardeuff's books and I use them faithfully. I now am able to use most of the oils without any problem. If I do have a problem, I know it is because of my toxicity. I continue to cleanse my body using Dr. LeAnne's books as references. It took years for my body to become this toxic and it will take time for it to detox. Patience and persistence are the keywords in a detox program.
I hope my experience can serve as an inspiration for someone else. If you have any questions or need any further information, please feel free to contact me privately using my email.

With the pregnancy class, I was able to go into my 3rd pregnancy with amazing results! Big huge difference was being able to listen to my body and let natural products help overcome pregnancy and labor. Thank you for a wonderful class! – Michelle Wynholds
I've received multiple testimonials and happy patients referring their friends and family to me in droves and as I helped them I learned even more. The breakthrough I had with my own health and the results I get with my patients have given me the knowledge and tools…ultimately the insider secrets to wellness and health the natural way.
I've written two books, which I hope will help many people overcome their chronic problems that have been plaguing them for too long. It is my intent that my experience using essential oils and other natural remedies for the many diseases I have suffered or helped patients with will enable many people to enjoy better health as they apply the principles that are taught in the books.
