The show features 24 thrill-seeking contestants who will race in the world's largest extreme obstacle course. According to the press release, the course was designed to create the "most spills, face plants and wipeouts ever seen on television." I can't help but wonder if anyone at ABC has seen MTV's Jackass. Just a thought.
The obstacles and contestants change every week. Some of the obstacles are "Dizzy Dummy," "Dirty Balls," (there's a bad joke in there somewhere), and the "Dreadmill" which gets contestants to jump hurdles on a 40-foot long treadmill moving at "warpspeed" (ABC's words, not mine).

Honor Mom If You Value Your Life
Ephesians 6:1-3
A few months ago I listened as a lady broke down in tears. She has two grown children who live near here, who have children of their own. They hardly ever stop to visit her and don’t treat her very well.
Now, I don’t know the particulars of their family situation. I don’t know about the bad blood, I don’t know what happened in that house. But I do know this. Those kids are making a huge mistake by not honoring their Mom.
I know I’m talking to teens who probably think their Mom is either the biggest out-of-touch person in the world or else an angry scold or some combination of the two.
I remember being a teenager. I remember the tension that exists between generations. But I want to say this very strongly. You have only one mother. And God places a high premium on your relationship with her.
In fact, we’re told in Ephesians that one of the seeds you can plant in a long and healthy life is respect for your parents. Why is that?
Because God places a high calling on mothers. Your mother brought you into this world. I didn’t realize what a sacrifice that was until I had children of my own. Watching my wife give birth gave me a whole new respect for my own mother.
Your mother carried you nine months and gave you life. So if you want to have a right relationship with God, you’ll have a right relationship with your mother.
What exactly does honor look like? Well in every family it looks a little different. When you are under their roof, I believe you have a responsibility to obey and respect your parents. When you are an adult on your own (making your own money, paying your own electric bills), you’re duty shifts. You aren’t required to obey them and do everything they ask, but you are still required to show them respect and deference and love, regardless of their flaws.
There is also something else to think about. Jesus said in Matthew, “Judge not, that ye be not judged.” I didn’t realize the full impact of this until I grew older. But what Jesus is saying is this. The criticism you levy on others will come back to bite you. So complain all you want about your parents and how they raised you, but one day that will come back on your head as a parent. So tread carefully.
As Mother’s Day approaches, do something special for your mom. Go out of your way to make that day special. Mothers sacrifice a lot to raise their children. So do as God commands, and honor Mom.
In computer storage, removable media refers to storage media which can be removed from its reader device, conferring portability on the data it carries. A removable drive is a reader device for such media. These are not to be confused with removable disks, which are self-contained storage devices detachable whole from their hosts.
Some types of removable media are encased in cartridges to protect sensitive data-carrying surfaces from dust, moisture and mechanical wear. Cartridge enclosures are necessary where the medium itself is too fragile to be handled directly (as with Zip disks and floppy disks), but are sometimes dispensed with to reduce media costs (as with compact discs and later generations of DVD-RAM media).
Removable media remain the most common means of distributing retail software for personal computers,[1],with the compact disc displacing the floppy disk in the mid-1990s.
Zephaniah 3:17
The LORD your God is with you, He is mighty to save. He will take great delight in you, He will quiet you with His love, He will rejoice over you with singing.
