I have had the idea in my head to create custom labels for the containers in my kitchen for a couple of years now. It was one of those projects that kept getting pushed to the back burner as more important projects got added to my to-do list. And the silliest part is it was one of those projects that didn't take very long to complete – less than half an hour. Today, I am going to show you how to create your own custom vinyl kitchen labels using the Cricut Explore.
This post contains affiliate links. Please read my full disclosure policy here.
Supplies needed:
- Cricut Explore
- Cricut vinyl – I used Sky vinyl from the Cricut® Vinyl Sampler Pack, Home
- Transfer tape
To start, you need to create a file in Cricut Design Space™ and add all the words you want to use for your containers. The words I needed:
- Flour
- Sugar
- Brown Sugar
- Baking Soda
- Cornstarch
- Powdered Sugar
- Bread Crumbs
- Special Treats
Note: I can't share my file with you since I am using a custom font, but I will walk you step by step with how to set up your font in Design Space.
You will open Cricut Design Space and open a new project. Click add text. Type your word in the box. In this example, I am using the words "powdered sugar".
Click edit in the layers panel and select your font. If you know the name of your font, you can type it in the box. The font I used is Freestyle and I purchased it from Creative Market.
Now, with most script fonts you will need to adjust the spacing to have each of the letters connect as they would if you were using a word processing program. I use the up and down arrow buttons under "Letter Spacing" in the edit panel until I get the letters to look how I want.
You can then simply copy and paste a new text box for each additional word you want to create. In the pasted text box, change the word to whatever you like. Before I actually cut out my vinyl I go back and use the weld tool to be sure that each word cuts as one continuous piece.
Now, you will simply click 'Go'. Load vinyl on your mat with the paper backing side down. Choose vinyl on the custom dial.
Once you have all your words cut out remove your vinyl from the cutting mat. I like to cut out each individual word before I start the weeding process.
Start by weeding the excess vinyl. Go slowly and be careful to be sure you are not lifting up any pieces that should stay on your design like the little dots above the letter i.
Note: If you want to create a vinyl stencil, you will weed the negative space (the letters that you see remaining in the image above while leaving the background which we peeled off. This allows you to paint or color in the outline of your words.)
Use your weeding tool to help you get all the little bits and pieces of vinyl out from in between the letters.
Tip: When I went to visit Cricut headquarters I found out a helpful hint for weeding vinyl. Place your paper backing back on your sticky cutting mat to hold it in place while you weed.
Next, use transfer tape to move your design from the paper backing to your project. You will end up with a mess of all your letters stuck together if you skip out on using the transfer tape. Simply cut a piece of tape the same size as your lettering, peel off the paper backing and stick down on top of your vinyl. Use a popsicle stick, the scraper tool, or your fingers to be sure all the letters firmly adhere.
Peel the transfer tape with the vinyl lettering attached from the vinyl paper backing.
Carefully position your vinyl on your project and smooth it with the popsicle stick or your fingers before removing the transfer tape. I ended up needing to separate the words "powdered" and "sugar" as they were too long for my container.
Remove the transfer tape and you are all done!
These were the labels I had on my containers before – clear shipping labels that I printed out on my home printer.
They were functional but not very pretty. Now, I have beautiful coordinating labels that match my kitchen decor.
I love that vinyl comes in so many colors and finishes. You can create custom labels for anything in your house that perfectly match your decor. And that makes my organizing loving heart so happy!
Have you ever created custom labels before?

Hit songs from the 1980s include "Every Breath You Take" by The Police, "With or Without You" by U2, "Billie Jean" by Michael Jackson, "Eye of the Tiger" by Survivor and "Born in the USA" by Bruce Springsteen. Other popular songs include "Jump" and "Sweet Child o' Mine."
"Every Breath You Take" by The Police was a song that explored obsession and heartbreak. This song became a hit in the 1980s as a result of its distinctive musical composition, high-quality vocal performance and impressive guitar riff. In 1983, this song spent eight weeks at number one, and has been played more than 9 million times on the radio.
"With or Without You" by U2 struck a balance between rock sensibilities and pop influences. This popular song was one of many popular songs from "The Joshua Tree" album. "With or Without You" was a catchy song that incorporated a memorable melody and simple bass lines, and it became one of the most successful U2 singles of all time.
"Born in the USA" by Bruce Springsteen was a slow acoustic ballad that spoke about the lost American dream. However, it was reincarnated for the "Born in the USA" album and became one of the most popular rock songs of the 1980s.

Can Texting Save Stores?
'Geofencing' Lets Retailers Offer Deals to Nearby Customers, Fight Price-Shopping
Retailers are trying to make smartphones work for them instead of against them.
Take Maurices. The women's clothing chain last month started sending promotions to the phones of people who come within a few hundred yards of its stores. Consumers who opt in to the service are sent messages about in-store sales. There is little evidence that sort of marketing actually works, but Maurices wants to give it a shot, in hopes of drawing people to the chain's bricks and mortar locations....

The bigger box contains, scrappy 4-patches (3.5" unfinished) made by sewing together the two-sies, and scrappy 16-patches (6.5" unfinished) made from combining four 4-patches. Ummm... the box is 4" deep and it's full to overflowing. I think there's enough here to make two full size quilts, at least. I wasn't paying attention to how they were piling up.... this is what happens when you are completely distracted.
The problem is, I don't remember what quilt pattern I had in mind when I started sewing these darn things. I'm going on the assumption that I originally had a plan - this makes me feel better about the whole obsessive sewing with a distracted mind thing. So I've been auditioning quilt patterns to use these up. Here's some that I found appealing.
or I could alternate the 16-patch blocks with snowballs, creating that star point effect... but all these ideas require either sewing another batch of components (not that I'm necessarily opposed to that idea) or creating even more bonus HSTs. I'm steadily working on trimming up that box of over 1,000 HSTs as it is.
I'm leaning towards Scrappy Patchwork Quilt I saw on the Scraps n' Threadtales Blog. I really like that one - and I could use some 3.5" squares and cut up random 3.5" strips from an overflowing bin to create the same effect.
I did a search on postage stamp quilts and found even more finished quilts that are pretty awesome! I rather like the idea of bordering the patchwork blocks with a churn-dash (or is it called hole-in-the-barn?) like a this beauty I saw on My Current Obsessions Blog.
So many ideas. I'll let you know what I decide...

Advent – When Things Go Bad
Luke 2:1-7
Luke 2:1 Now it came about in those days that a decree went out from Caesar Augustus, that a census be taken of all the inhabited earth.
Luke 2:2 This was the first census taken while Quirinius was governor of Syria.
Luke 2:3 And all were proceeding to register for the census, everyone to his own city.
Luke 2:4 And Joseph also went up from Galilee, from the city of Nazareth, to Judea, to the city of David, which is called Bethlehem, because he was of the house and family of David,
Luke 2:5 in order to register, along with Mary, who was engaged to him, and was with child.
Luke 2:6 And it came about that while they were there, the days were completed for her to give birth.
Luke 2:7 And she gave birth to her first-born son; and she wrapped Him in cloths, and laid Him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn.
The Christmas story has become cute; wiped clean of human experience
Name it – it went wrong
went wrong for Mary – 15 years old probably, first response – how am I going to explain this;
married in a maternity dress, not the dream she had had, ultimate in unplanned pregnancy
just when things were most uncomfortable, she had to travel
birth in a stall, a long way from mom and dad, only had an unproven husband (not known
each other long enough) à no crib; no celebration, just curious strangers
went wrong for Joseph – Joseph was a guy, worked with wood; manly stuff; neither his wedding
day or wedding night worked out like he envisioned
resentment toward Mary & God, something taken that can't get back (Put her away)
didn't get to do what he wanted; dream of quiet life in Nazareth married to his high school
sweetheart refused to happen; and a child right out of the gate
Satan would want a real shot at Joseph – what better way to deal with God's Son than to
give Him an abusive, cynical, bitter father to raise him; ruined plenty before and after
what did Joseph get out of this – first action figure of all time (nativity scenes)
went wrong for both of them – census meant taxes meant new expenses for a new family (not
planned); had to travel; Joseph spent a lot of time muttering underneath his breath
("I can't believe this is happening to me" "Why me"); no room in the inn
a non-adventurer on the adventure of his life – looked around the stable and
thought – "I can't believe I'm in this place"; same sort of feeling as he looked around Egypt
I wonder how many unanswered prayers they had in the first three years of their marriage
What do we make of things when they go bad:
- God becomes very active
- ever seen God micro-manage a situation like Christmas?
dreams, special messages, visions, angels, signs, prophecies – these are not for good copy, but because things were going badly for Mary and Joseph
- things are going poorly, dreams not coming true; open your eyes and ears, God is close
doing everything He can to keep you alive, to enable you to enjoy God and life
God loves us more than we can imagine, God is more active than we can imagine
- chance to see God work, want to see God work, open to see God work; God responds in our time of questioning
Rom 8:32 He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how will He not also with Him freely give us all things?
Rom 8:33 Who will bring a charge against God's elect? God is the one who justifies;
Rom 8:34 who is the one who condemns? Christ Jesus is He who died, yes, rather who was raised, who is at the right hand of God, who also intercedes for us.
Rom 8:35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?
Rom 8:36 Just as it is written, "FOR THY SAKE WE ARE BEING PUT TO DEATH ALL DAY LONG; WE WERE CONSIDERED AS SHEEP TO BE SLAUGHTERED."
Rom 8:37 But in all these things we overwhelmingly conquer through Him who loved us.
Rom 8:38 For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers,
Rom 8:39 nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
- Time to repent
- Joseph fully intended to put all of this behind him
Mat 1:19 And Joseph her husband, being a righteous man, and not wanting to disgrace her, desired to put her away secretly.
Mat 1:20 But when he had considered this, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, "Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary as your wife; for that which has been conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit.
remove the religious speak
"righteous man" – still a virgin himself; "disgrace her" – have her stoned
"afraid" – loss of life, hopes, dreams, love;
things had just started; when things were stressed, he would look back to this moment with longing; Joseph's "what might have been" if he had not changed his mind
- oppressed by fear, overcome by it à fear of the future, fear of what others say or think,
fear of rejection à fear paralyzes our faith, our voice, our convictions, our
generosity; but God is our strength, our companion, our source
repent of fear – I will be afraid, but I will trust
God will take of us; God may not take care of our stuff
Fear – loss of our stuff
Christmas has become a season of stuff collecting and giving
III. Need to Let Go
Holy family – makes me laugh; two kids caught in a tornado that connected heaven and earth, the creation and the destruction; Satan and God; angels and demons
two teenagers with a child just ahead of the law, their families, and every demon with free time on his hands
Holy – set apart by their hardships, dangers
Let go of the idea that events, relationships have to be like we planned to be good
God will break us of this early in our relationship with him – so we can be more aware of God's presence with us; Immanuel because things go bad
Let go of resentment – People feel resentment when they feel driven – by others,
circumstances, even God's will, Mary and Joseph had a boat load of all of this
anger at what is impossible to change; just take it out on others and
ourselves (stupid)
Let go of naiveté – tough world; not always black and white, rules don't always work; most things out of our control; strong, vital God that can be trusted in all circumstances
the struggle is spiritual; our souls are at stake, not everyone makes it
These are the things that weigh us down in life
Understood well, Christmas is the greatest pressure release valve God has ever given us
Christmas is about inconvenience, hardship, difficulty
More like the real life we have come to know and love
people were riding rollercoasters long before there were county fairs
see how God works and can work with you and for you; next year will be different because God is with us when things go bad

Master suite con jacuzzi y vapor……..$380Habitación por 12hrs de Lunes a Jueves y por 8hrs los fines de semana. While many former motel chains left the low-finish of the market to franchise mid-vary hotels, a handful of nationwide franchise brands ( Econo Lodge , Travelodge, Knights Inn and Magnuson Hotels lowest tier M-Star forty two ) remain accessible to owners of present motels with the original drive-up-to-room motor courtroom structure. The Shepherd of the Hills Fish Hatchery is positioned approximately 6 miles southwest of Branson. With that small inhabitants, it attracts and serves as much as 65,000 visitors daily, with an estimated eight million guests a 12 months, as of 2010. Ada perbedaan dalam jumlah dan jenis karyawan yang digunakan oleh resort dan motel.
Located on the Brisbane River (for which the city was named), funds motels place you within shut proximity of some of Australia's greatest seashores. The capital metropolis of Tasmania, Hobart is thought for its spectacular landscapes and attention-grabbing native fauna (the Tasmanian Devil is now a protected species, and lots of price range motel vacationers have an interest in the tale of the now-extinct Tasmanian Tiger). Larger motels could be just like hotels, usually with a swimming pool, spa, sauna, laundry, and restaurant.
Motel kata membuat jalan ke kamus setelah Perang Dunia II. Ini adalah benar-benar sebuah hotel, yang dirancang untuk pengendara untuk mengambil berhenti di malam hari dan biasanya memiliki banyak tempat parkir untuk pengendara untuk parkir kendaraan bermotor mereka. I used to work in a Motel and it actually was a shitty job till I bought a job at a Hotel then I knew the distinction. It covers the drain in the courtyard of the Motel and lowers the temperature considerably.
A surprisingly peaceable motel with nice household environment, nestled in park-like surroundings with numerous out of doors areas to take a seat and benefit from the view. Y a lo mejor exagero pero la visita a ese motel debería estar en su lista de: Las Cien Cosas que Deben Conocer Antes de Morir, versión Guadalajara. I'm not big on horror movies normally but the pressure that Hitchcock creates within the image is worth watching the film for.
This Motel 6 had first flooring non-smoking rooms, a coin laundry room, a pool, microwave and refrigerator within the resort rooms including free coffee served in the morning. This hub made a great learn, however for you and your loved ones, it must have been worse than hell. A couple on the verge of divorce decide to stay at a motel for the night after their car breaks down. Y bien esto fue todo del motel wiin, si tienen dudas pueden publicarlas en comentarios mandar un correo a [email protected] tambien contestamos por facebook y twitter. The widespread time period on this classic era, as fellow baby boomers can attest was a motel.
The workers right here at The B-Movie Catechism would like to supply our (fully unsolicited) opinion on how we feel you might accomplish this by stating some films representative of the type of film Motel Hell SHOULD NOT BE. Eh escuchado rumores que en este motel graban y venden las grabaciónes en san juan de dios. Very inexpensive, motels are ideal for the more budget acutely aware traveller who appreciates the benefit of a resort keep. After all, we all know from the minute Leigh arrives at the Bates Motel that she's not long for this world.

Bear Witness To American Gods: Shadows #1
Neil Gaiman's seminal 2001 novel gets its comic adaptation this week!
Why wait for the show on Starz? Sure, Bryan Fuller's bringing a television series based on Neil Gaiman's Hugo, Nebula, Bram Stoker, and Locus award-winning novel, American Gods. Before it airs though, Dark Horse Comics is beating the pay-channel to the punch with this gorgeous looking comic adaptation of one of Gaiman's most beloved stories in American Gods: Shadows #1.
Past collaborators P. Craig Russell and Scott Hampton will bring the story of Shadow Moon to the page for your eyes' and soul's benefit. Shadow Moon is set to be released from prison after spending years behind bars for an aggravated assault and battery charge. Shadow's luck has turned though, just not necessarily for the better. He's getting out early…because of his wife's death. Hitting bottom, Shadow meets and becomes the bodyguard for a certain Mr. Wednesday. Except this is no normal body to guard. Shadow becomes entrenched in a world of the supernatural and a war between Gods of different eras. No one is who they seem and nothing they say they want can be trusted. How will Shadow navigate this new world and survive the impending war? You can begin to find out how (if) this New Comic Book Day!
Without any budgetary or imaginative constraints, there's a lot to be excited for the lush visuals that have been released in preview pages thus far. Now, when are we going to get the Good Omens adaptation we've all been waiting for? Or am I the only one? Who's with me?

Abdu'l-Baha on religious law and the House of Justice
Posted by Sen on November 22, 2010
This tablet by Abdu'l-Baha, dated around 1899, responds to detailed questions, "concerning the wisdom of referring some important laws to the House of Justice." Abdu'l-Baha replies that, in principle, the Baha'i Faith is similar to Christianity, whose scriptures also specify only a few laws.
The Bahai Faith, he says, has little connection to worldly concerns. Religion's primary function is to refine characters and bring light in darkness. However the Bahai scriptures do specify some foundations of our religious law, leaving subsidiary matters to the divinely-inspired House of Justice, which can make 'cultural laws,' (ahkaam madaniyyih) in accordance with time and circumstance. In Islam, this power was in the hands of diverse divines, resulting in conflicting rules. In the Bahai Faith, only the rulings of the Houses of Justice are binding, and the Houses of Justice change their rulings from time to time. This principle applies to a local, national or international House of Justice.
Abdu'l-Baha gives two examples of the advantage of flexibility in religious law: the forbidden degrees of marriage and the punishments for breaches of the religious law. The first should be decided by the House of Justice according to social customs and medical requirements, wisdom, and suitability for human nature (the first three of which are specific to a time and place). Punishments likewise cannot remain the same forever, as can be seen in Judaism and Islam, where the punishments specified in scripture are no longer socially acceptable.
I have placed my commentary on some underlined phrases in the first 'comment' attached to this posting, along with references to the Persian sources and to four previous translations I have consulted, and some personal reflections. Notes on the differences between the three Persian sources I used are in the second comment.
1. O you who are clinging to the hem of the Covenant, your composition in rhymed prose has arrived, and the detailed questions were considered, although a host of calamities have affected my limbs and members and joints like deadly poison, to such an extent that the pen is withheld from writing and the tongue from speaking. The pressure of work is such that it is indescribable. However, in view of the fervent affection that this servant has for that gentleman, and in accord with the divine command, a perfectly clear, concise, and beneficial spiritual answer will be given.
2. On this topic, and its elements, multiplicity of utterance is acceptable and desirable, so that through clarifications and elucidation, interpretation and unfolding symbolic meanings, scriptural commentary and interpretations of inner meanings, a hundred doors may be opened from each of its courts of meaning. "If the worlds were turned to paper, they would not suffice."
3. You have asked concerning the wisdom of referring some important laws to the House of Justice. It is true that this divine dispensation is purely heavenly and spiritual, and concerned with matters of the soul. It has very little connection to the physical and temporal or to worldly concerns. Likewise, the dispensation of his Holiness Christ was purely spiritual, and the Gospel consisted entirely of spiritual laws and heavenly morals, except for the prohibition of divorce and the allusion to the abrogation of the Sabbath. As He has said,
"the Son of man came not to judge the world but to save the world." (John 12:47)
And today, this most great cycle is also purely spiritual and confers eternal life. For the head cornerstone of the religion of God is to refine characters, regenerate personal qualities and reform manners. Its purpose is that those kept back by veils may attain the station of Seeing, and realities darkened by defects may become illumined. All other ordinances are offshoots of faith and certitude, of assurance and spiritual understanding.
4. Despite what has been said, this blessed dispensation, being the greatest of all the heavenly dispensations, embraces all matters, spiritual and corporeal, with perfect power and sovereignty. Thus the broader issues that are the foundation of the religious law are explicitly stated, but subsidiary matters are left to the House of Justice. The wisdom of this is that time does not stand still: change and transformation are essential attributes and necessities of this world, and of time and place. Therefore the House of Justice implements decisions accordingly.
5. At the same time, do not suppose that the House of Justice will make just any ruling, according to its own concepts and opinions. God forbid! The Supreme House of Justice will issue rulings and laws through the inspiration and confirmation of the Holy Spirit, because it is under the guardianship, protection and care of the Ancient Beauty. Whatever it may decide must be obeyed, as a God-given duty, indisputable, incumbent, and imperative for everybody. There is no recourse from it, for anyone.
6. Say: O people, verily the Supreme House of Justice is under the wings of your Lord, the Compassionate, the All-Merciful. It is under His protection, preservation, care and guardianship, for He has commanded the firm believers to obey that goodly, pure company, that sanctified and preeminent body. Its sovereignty is spiritual sovereignty in the Kingdom of Heaven, and its laws draw on spiritual inspiration.
7. Briefly, this is the purpose and wisdom of referring 'cultural laws' to the House of Justice. Similarly, in Islamic religious law not every ordinance was explicitly revealed; not even a thousandth part. Although all important questions were mentioned, undoubtedly half a million laws were never mentioned. Later the divines drew their conclusions on the basis of fundamental principles, with individual divines drawing conflicting conclusions from the original religious law, and these were enforced.
8. Today this process of deduction is entrusted to the board of the House of Justice, and the personal deductions and inferences of scholars have no authority, unless they are endorsed by the House of Justice. The difference is this, that [the deductions and endorsements of the House of Justice, whose members are chosen and accepted by the entire religious community, will not give rise to conflict, whereas] the deductions drawn by individual divines and scholars immediately led to contention, and were the cause of schism, dispersion and factions. Unity of doctrine was destroyed, the unity of the Faith of God was undone, the edifice of the Law of God was shaken.
9. As for the matter of marriage, this falls entirely within the 'cultural laws.' Nevertheless, its preconditions are found in the Law of God, and its fundamentals are evident. However those unions between relatives that are not explicitly treated, are referred to the House of Justice, which will give a ruling based on the culture, medical requirements, wisdom, and the capacity of human nature. Culture, medical science, and human nature leave no doubt that in marriage, "distance is nearer than nearness." In this light, consider the religious law of Christianity. Although marriage to relatives was in reality permitted, since no ban on it had been explicitly revealed, the early Christian councils entirely forbade marriages between relatives, to the seventh degree, and even today this is the practice in all Christian communions, since this question is purely a matter of culture.
10. In short, whatever ruling the House of Justice makes in this respect, is the decisive decree, it is God's sharp sword. No one may transgress that limit. If you consider, it will be apparent how much this rule (that is, referring cultural laws to the House of Justice) is consistent with wisdom. For whenever a difficulty may arise in relation to the local context of an issue, since the House of Justice delivered the previous ruling, the secondary House of Justice can issue a new national ruling on the national case and instance, in the light of local contingencies. "Consultation with all, wards off danger." This is because the House of Justice is entitled to abrogate what it itself has decided.
11. Another example is that the Qur'an referred issues of facultative punishments to the will of "those invested with authority." (Quran 4:59) There was no specific Text regarding the severity of facultative punishments; they depended entirely on the one vested with authority, and their severity ranged from chiding to execution. This largely defined the scope of policy in the Muslim community.
12. In brief, the foundation of this most great dispensation has been designed in such a way that its laws can remain appropriate to and consonant with all ages and eras, unlike the bygone religious laws, whose implementation is unattainable and impossible today. For example, consider the laws of the Torah. Today, they definitely cannot be implemented, for they include ten capital offenses. Likewise, Islamic religious requires the amputation of a hand for the theft of ten dirhams. Is it possible to enforce such a law today? No, by God! But this holy, divine, law of God is appropriate to all hours, times and ages.
"Thus have we made you a religious community, as a middle way, so that you may be witnesses before the people and the Apostle may be a witness for you." (Quran 2:143).
13. Recite the eloquent poems and chant the exquisite verses with such agreeable contents that have been composed. In reality, they are worthy of being chanted in the assemblies of divine unity. Glory be upon you.

The Catholic Church does not generally permit the marriage if a doubt exists on whether the potential spouses are related by consanguinity in any degree of the direct line or in the second degree of the collateral line.
Definitions of incest varied throughout history. The Fourth Lateran Council held in 1215 attempted to codify that marriage was forbidden up to and including third cousins, though permissible beyond this for fourth cousins, third cousins once removed, etc.
In the Eastern Orthodox Church, marriages are banned between second cousins or closer and between second uncles / aunts and second nieces / nephews (between first cousins once removed) or closer. Marrying one's godparent or deceased spouse's sibling is also prohibited, although marrying one's stepchild is not – e.g. Vyacheslav Ivanov exercised his right to marry his stepdaughter after her mother's (his first wife's) death.
The Anglican Communion allows marriages up to and including first cousins.
The Catholic changed the position as shown above from the earlier one you listed to the even stricter one given here formulated during the Fourth Lantern Council. I also included Anglicans and Orthodox for interesting contrast.

Thanks, I think it is a very important tablet!!! I'm looking forward to comments about this.
January 10, 2018 at 18:27
While I think this tablet is a plus point for your thesis of separation of Church and State, I disagree entirely with you about Baha'i same-sex marriages, it is simply wrong, you should lose hope.
January 11, 2018 at 21:02
Sen, what I mean is that according to the Baha'i doctrine, same-sex marriages are banned at least for the entire Dispensation of Bahá'u'lláh. But this applies only for Baha'is and inside the Baha'i community.

After her mother comes back from an extended hospital stay, a young girl begins to envision an ominous monster lurking in her home.
After a gruesome car accident leaves her mother hospitalized for months, 11-year-old Sasha is ecstatic to finally have her home again. Unfortunately things are not what they once were. Elaine (mother) struggles with recovery as Marcus (father) scrambles to care for both his ailing wife and concerned daughter. As the stress and confusion bury her, Sasha begins to spiral and imagines a grim creature terrorizing her nonstop.
"I have loved horror and the darkness surrounding it since I was very young. Partly because my father let me watch whatever scary, rated-R movie he was watching, partly because my mother was in and out of major surgeries when I was very young. Those surgeries (4 in total) meant the idea of death and the dread that accompanies it was something often on my moldable mind. As a child, that shook me to the core and filled me with a paralyzing fear. Somehow, be it by divine intervention or a happy accident, I rationalized that the only way I could get over such a fear was to explore it and become intimately acquainted with the terrors--as if talking to the monsters under my bed.
This film, in a way, is inspired by that experience, but in a much more potent, dramatic, and horrific way. The only direct parallel to my own life is that the family in my story is mixed race. Although it is not a central point in my film, this aspect is extremely important to me because never once growing up did I see a family that looked like mine portrayed in the media and I still rarely do." -Sloan Turner (writer/director)

Home > About Bryan Health > News > Decrease Inflammation, Reduce Muscle Pain and Accelerate Recovery with Cryotherapy
Published on August 18, 2016
Written by Alonso Chavarriaga, RadioMD Staff Writer
Are you on the hunt for different healing or therapeutic techniques?
One option you may not have thought about is cryotherapy.
No, it's not a way to turn you into a certain Batman villain. Instead, it's an easy treatment that takes only a couple of minutes and can have a positive effect on your body.
You begin the treatment by standing inside of a chamber. Many allow for your head to be exposed, free to talk or breathe normally. Both men and women can wear as little as they are comfortable with. The gas chamber begins to fill with nitrogen gas, gradually cooling the temperature down to a brisk 180 to 200 degrees below zero and circling your body.
"It sounds scary, but really isn't," says Lorri Benamor, a manager at Bryan Lifepointe. "Nitrogen is completely safe; in fact, you breathe in naturally-occurring nitrogen in the air around you. Not only is it safe, but also it's painless. The only thing you may feel is a little chilly towards the end of treatment, which can last between one and three minutes long. If you think the last few moments are a bit too cold, you are free to stop the treatment."
Who would benefit the most from cryotherapy?
According to Benamore, there are two groups that use cryotherapy the most. The first group is comprised of athletic individuals that come in during training or after a long run to help recovery and jump-start the healing process. Another time these individuals use cryotherapy is before a game, since adrenaline can kick in that may be beneficial for performance.
The second group of common cryotherapy users is made up of patients with arthritis or fibromyalgia. Inflammatory diseases are sometimes treated with ice baths, but cryotherapy can be more comfortable and more effective. There is barely any prep work, no pain from sitting in an ice bath, and the therapy can improve circulation and boost your immune system.
One more success story involves patients with depression. Because endorphins are released during cryotherapy (similar to a runner's high), people often report sleeping better at night and experiencing an overall better sense of well being.
These are just some of the benefits you can gain from regular cryotherapy sessions. Other reported side effects are:

April 3, 1982 Southeastern Championship Wrestling Television Show Review
By: Karl Stern (@dragonkingkarl, @wiwcool, email@example.com)
We continue our look at the NWA Southeastern Championship Wrestling promotion and television program from Dothan, Alabama television studio. There isn't a lot of footage from 1982 and 1983 unfortunately. What little does exist (like this clip) is incomplete and poor quality.
This clip is from the April 3, 1982 show and The Fabulous Freebirds Terry Gordy and Michael Hayes had returned to the area and were actually feuding with each other. Larry Hamilton, an up coming Florida wrestler, gets involved this time. This angle leads to a No DQ match between Michael Hayes and Terry Gordy the following Monday night at Birmingham's Boutwell Auditorium.
Later that year, Michael Hayes would lose a series of loser leave town matches to Terry Gordy around the circuit. Larry Hamilton would wrestle, on and off, for Southeastern and later Continental and would have a decent push as a junior heavyweight.
Terry Gordy is clearly positioned as the bigger and badder of the two and Larry Hamilton is the underdog. Hamilton puts up a good fight but a piledriver pretty much ends it for Hamilton and Gordy continues to rough him up until Michael Hayes throws in the towel.
Terry Gordy and Michael Hayes begin to brawl and Jos LeDuc runs in to assist. The fight spills outside and Gordy hits Hayes (pretty weakly) with a steel chair then brings him inside and piledrives him on top of it.
The clip ends with Larry Hamilton getting the chair to protect Hayes while the heels exit the ring.

Founded in 1994, Tanner|Hill Gallery began as a venue for, mostly southern, emerging talent. In 2004/2005, the gallery broadened its focus to include contemporary trained as well as self-taught artists. Housed in a remodeled 19th century factory building in Chattanooga, Tennessee, the gallery later expanded to include two project spaces in Atlanta's Westside Provisions District and in Chattanooga's Warehouse Row. The galleries in both Chattanooga and Atlanta were gathering places for the visual, performing and literary arts. In 2013, Tanner|Hill Gallery closed its permanent locations to focus on site specific projects and private placement out of NW Arkansas, New York City and Chattanooga.
In support of its early mission to promote the work of both regionally and nationally recognized talent, Tanner|Hill Gallery worked on a range of projects with distinguished institutions such as the High Museum of Art, the New Museum of Contemporary Art, the Montgomery Museum of Fine Art, Hunter Museum of Art and Knoxville Museum among others. The gallery has participated in a number of national art fairs, including the Outsider Art Fair, Works on Paper, ArtMiami, the Dallas Art Fair and Art Chicago, to name a few.
In 2006 Tanner|Hill began showing the work of Willie Young, a Dallas native who has been making meticulously rendered graphite drawings since the early 70's. His work has been shown through the gallery in both group and solo exhibitions, and at art fairs internationally, most recently in partnership with Yukiko Koide Presents at Art Fair Tokyo in March 2017.
For any further information about Tanner|Hill Gallery, please contact Angela Usrey using our contact page. As she often travels, responses may be slightly delayed. Thank you in advance.

Missions Leadership Team Introduction:
Mark Walker
VM: Thanks for joining me, Mark. When did you first jump into the Vineyard Movement?
Mark: My first experience with the Vineyard came through worship. You may remember a pretty hot revival happening in Brownsville, Florida in the mid-90s, and worship was on the forefront of it. Being from South Carolina, I didn't have much exposure to Vineyard Music, and the internet hadn't yet made available the worship-world wars at my fingertips, so I actually encountered it first-hand. I participated in this new sound and this new way of worship and the rest was a hooked-history for me. I soon met one of the prominent worship leaders in the Vineyard Movement; we became fast friends. From then on, I found myself focusing my intentions and my new friendships toward being part of the greater Vineyard community. While I'm not the first to say it, it felt very much like home.
VM: What is a prayer that you pray daily?
Mark: I pray for effectiveness. Here and abroad. We have these great southern expressions that allow us a place in the room when smart people are gathered. We usually get to—or have to—explain ourselves, or at least explain what our language means. One fine Southern word is piddling. It refers to a mundane action—or lack of action—that becomes an all-out effort to avoid something necessary. Checking your antifreeze in the dead of winter is not piddling, that's necessary; but sharpening your lawnmower blade in the middle of January is piddling. Another good word we use is loafering. To loafer is to avoid responsibility and shirk any resemblance to hard work.
I'd like to say that I pray these huge prayers that will cause a party in Heaven or a panic in Hell, but mostly I pray against my tendency to piddle or loafer, me being from the South and all.
VM: oh, that's good! Thanks for the visual language lesson on prayer. What is your best memory with Jesus?
Mark: There was a little fella in a Bucharest orphanage whose name was Danutz. Danny, we called him. At the time, he was 15. He's over 25 now, and I don't know his whereabouts. What I remember is the smell of his crowded room; and I remember how his caretakers told me I was wasting my time. I remember crying at the thought of his existence being confined to this Pack-n-Play and an occasional window view of a dirty city. Danny had spent his entire life in a portable playpen. He was abandoned early on. He was dropped off at this institution because he was born with severe hydrocephalus. Sometimes the best you can offer is a touch and a tear. I took Danny's small feet in my hands and I rubbed them. This unresponsive little man responded with a smile. I looked into his eyes, and I saw Jesus looking back at me. I remember it so well because from that moment until now, I have been absolutely sure that Jesus has green eyes.
VM: I bet Jesus loves that memory with you too. (Interviewer wiping tears from eyes). What is your highest priority for the Learning Community this year?
Mark: There is somewhat of a driving force that has been a sustaining gift to me. It comes in the form of exposure. Exposure to the world and its joy and its need, of its plenty and its lack. And then my exposure to people in the Vineyard and in my normal day to day here in Beaufort, SC. I am constantly aware that without exposure, there is very little chance that great and deep burdens can find fertile soil to grow. In other words, we don't care about it if we don't know about it. Our Learning Community has this wonderful opportunity to connect the good missions-hearted people in our local churches to places and people, to needs and resources. So, the Learning Community Team will consider ourselves a think-tank of servant-hearted idealists who believe this missional task is a finish-able task. One heart, one house, or one hut at a time! We will do our part to connect what God has placed as a dream in our hearts to His assignment to the Vineyard Movement in the missional world.
VM: So are you a Futbol or Football kind of guy?
Mark: Football. There are legal crashes, water breaks, and a halftime rest. And there's always a goal in mind!
VM: Steak, chicken, or fish?
Mark: Steak. I'm a 2nd -generation vegetarian. Cows eat grass, I eat cows.
VM: What is your favorite book of the Bible and why?
Mark: I love, love, love the story of Jesus as told by Mark. He has a total commitment to "…and straightaway" excitement in his details. It's a fast book and a great namesake.
VM: Do you have a favorite technology advance or app that helps you do the stuff you do?
Mark: [crickets…]
VM: Well, then... That tells me you value people over tasks, and that is a perfect attribute for where God has you working in the Kingdom right now. Thanks for letting us get to know you a bit, Mark. We appreciate the leadership and global experience you bring to Vineyard Mission. Blessings on you, Sir.

You basically side graded in quality both are known for said issues. It's possible it's the RAM too. One or more of the stick could be faulty. The CPU can be the problem too, but that's kinda rare. Even the mobo can cause boot loop issues.
But, going over the list it could possible be the mobo if a better quality psu doesn't fix the problem.

RasGas Company Limited and Petronet LNG Limited have entered into a binding sale and purchase agreement (SPA) for the supply of an additional one million tonnes per annum (mta) of LNG to India starting in 2016.
The additional LNG is for onward sale to four Indian entities, notably Indian Oil Corporation Ltd., Bharat Petroleum Corporation Ltd., GAIL (India) Ltd., and Gujarat State Petroleum Corporation.
Qatar's RasGas is one of the main suppliers of LNG into India and has been supplying Petronet – the largest importer of LNG into India – since 2004.
Further to the new agreement, RasGas and Petronet LNG Limited have also entered into a binding agreement to adjust some aspects of their existing long term LNG SPA of 7.5 MTA, signed by the parties in 1999, which laid the foundation for the LNG business in India.
Such adjustments will protect and preserve the overall value of the contract.
As per such agreement, LNG volumes not taken by Petronet from RasGas during 2015 will be taken and paid for by Petronet during the remaining term of the SPA and will maintain its current level of oil indexation with the oil index more closely reflecting the prevailing oil prices.
RasGas CEO Mr. Hamad Mubarak Al-Muhannadi, stated that, "These positive developments, including the new SPA, demonstrate the strength of our long-term relationship with Petronet and commitment to growing sales into India to meet its expanding clean energy needs."
Petronet CEO Mr. Prabhat Singh added, "These developments highlight both parties confidence in the Indian market and our commitment to LNG as a cleaner, more efficient source of energy."

My weekend was a quiet and restful one. Greg dropped me off at my friend/sis house to get my hair done on Saturday morning. In the afternoon, he picked me up and we went back to his place where his mom, dad, sister, and niece were visiting. Sienna, Greg's niece, is so sweet. She just turned one and is an absolute riot.
After they left, Greg and I planned to perhaps go see a movie. We got into bed to watch something on Netflix before getting ourselves together and heading to the theatre. We didn't stay awake long enough to even put a movie or show on. I woke up, lying on my stomach, with my nose in nestled in Greg's armpit, while Greg slept on his back with his arm around me. This was about 2 hours after we had gotten into bed.
We were perhaps a little ambitious with our plans, as both of us were feeling under the weather, and both of us really only wanted to go out to appease the other.
We spent another lazy hour in bed before getting online and ordering some dinner via the Just Eat app. I like this app not only because it gives you a variety of places to choose from, but also because you can almost always find a discount code online. I found a 20% discount code online and saved a bunch on our dinner.
Anyway, this isn't a Just Eat commercial lol. We got Chinese food from this place called Duckee. It was good stuff. The general Tao chicken was delicious.
On Sunday, we caught a 12:30 showing of Snowden. We got to Yorkdale early so we were able to have some brunch and Michel's, grab some coffee at Starbucks, then head over to the theatre. The rest of our day was pretty low key.
But today though. I got to work and was working on a number of things since my partner is off work for a short while. I then all of a sudden got an email invite for a meeting with regards to a manager's conference happening next week. The senior director asked me to bring the budget with me. Um…I hadn't created a budget. Now I had about 2 hours to "create" one lol. All this while still managing 3 other mailboxes and also responding to emails in my personal mailbox. On top of that, I was tasked with coordinating some work that is being done at our offices overnight. Some workers are coming in overnight to do stuff, so they have asked us to remove all of the stuff from our desks and put them into bins. They are actioning this in 4 steps so that everyone isn't putting all of their stuff in boxes at the same time.
Let's just say that I was getting pulled in every direction today. I've gotten most of the stuff out of the way in terms of emails sent on Friday after 4pm and up to Monday morning, but there is one mailbox that I've barely touched and it has at least 20 emails from 20 different candidates in it.
I love every minute of it!

Kenny Brown Performance Rear Lower Control Arms for Mustang are now available at ModBargains with GREAT PRICES, FAST SHIPPING, and QUICK DELIVERY TIMES! Give us a call to order at 714-582-3330. Kenny Brown Lower Control Arms (Rear) for 2005-14 Ford Mustang [S197] KB-28661 KB-28660
Email to a Friend
The Kenny Brown Performance Lower Control
Arms are made to correct the wiggle, or bounciness, that you find in
most Mustang rear ends. This instability can cause the driver to
feel less confident in their driving and therefore lower their lap times
and cornering speeds. But with these control arms, the rear end
feels planted to the ground. They serve to increase traction,
prevent lift on acceleration, and improve braking strength by making the
rear end stiffer and more capable of withstanding the forces that are
present in a racing environment.
This system is worth every penny; it's super
strong because of steel construction, very durable because of the thick
powder coated finish that is applied to just about every Kenny Brown
product, and is designed to give you traction everywhere on the track.
If you're looking to turn your stock Mustang suspension into a
track worthy system, then these lower control arms are a great start.
So if you're interested in the Kenny
Brown Performance Lower Control Arms for Mustang, then give
ModBargains a call at the number below to make an order or just get some
questions answered. Our specialists would love to talk with you
and get you on the right path to getting the aftermarket setup you've
been waiting for.

Performance Lower Control Arms? Give

A Happy New Year from Spirit of Nature Images!!
May year 2016 bring all the new adventures and happiness in your life.
I will continuously capture and share the beautiful nature images in this new year!
Rabbit Lake is one of the many beautiful landscapes in the Chugach Mountains near Anchorage, Alaska. Only a short drive from Anchorage, true wild nature expands in all directions. I've been exploring and photographing within the Chugach Mountains extensively for the past couple of years. I am always impressed with the breathtaking beauty of the scenery at every lake, every mountain, and every meadow I visit in the area...
Taking a break from a long dark winter in Alaska, I had another photo project and adventure in Kauai Island of Hawaii in December. I will post some new images from the "Garden Island" on my next posting. Please check back in 2 weeks.

Short-term rentals is the hottest topic in local government - Our Founder Ulrik is the leading expert on the topic!
The dramatic rise of Airbnb and other short-term rental vacation sites has caused many cities to start regulating the practice of home sharing. Unfortunately, enforcing such rules is proving to be quite challenging. To protect users' privacy, addresses are not publicly listed, which makes finding locations of illegal rentals difficult and time consuming. And, with no way to verify rental activity and revenue of each property operating in the jurisdiction, cities have struggled with ensuring short-term rental property owners play by the rules and pay their fair share of lodging and hotel taxes.
As the Founder and CEO of Host Compliance, Ulrik has a lot of thoughts on how to address these challenges. A pioneer in the short-term rental enforcement space, Ulrik developed the first compliance monitoring tools and now uses his expertise and insights to help local governments across North America implement, monitor and enforce short-term rental regulation. Ulrik frequently speaks on the topic of home-sharing and has been a featured speaker at number of prominent conferences including the International City Manager's Association's annual conference, the American Planning Association's National Planning Conference and The University of Minnesota's Symposium on the Sharing Economy. He has also been featured in the Wall Street Journal and on leading networks such as CNN, Fox News and Canada's CBC.

"Story of a Writer - Part Twenty-Nine
One afternoon, while napping in my long, narrow office (I never liked that office) in the Clara Bow Building on the Paramount Studios lot, I am informed that there's a call for me from (now Senator) Al Franken. I get up and head to the phone, hoping not to sound like someone who was just recently asleep.
I had met Al Franken once, about a quarter of a century earlier. He was working on the writing staff of Saturday Night Live – our meeting took place during the show's first season – and I was visiting, at least partly, to see what I'd passed up. (I'd been invited to write on the show, but had turned the offer down.)
I had brought Lorne Michaels a crate of oranges from L.A.'s Farmers Market as a present. (A Californian bringing his New York-based buddy some oranges in the winter. What I guy!) Looking for a place to put the crate down, I ran into Al in the SNL offices, and he gave me a hand.
I introduced myself. Hearing my name, Al's immediate response was:
"Oh. You're the guy who wouldn't work for us."
My decision seemed stupid at the time. The show was on magazine covers. It was a national phenomenon. Reminding me that I'd turned down working on a national phenomenon struck me as Al's saying,
"Oh. You're the guy who's really stupid."
Al's comment had remained with me for twenty-five years. And now, here he was again. I was apprehensive about picking up the phone.
It turns out, what Al was calling about was a series idea he'd come up with that he'd recently sold to Paramount. He was wondering if I wanted to develop it with him. (I imagine a Paramount executive had suggested he call me, due to my sitcom experience, and also due to the fact that I was not currently productive.)
Al explained that the series he had in mind was a multi-camera, half-hour comedy concerning a fictional news-interview show, modeled after ABC's Nightline.
Al's show would be about putting a nightly news-interview program on the air. The series "regulars" would include a hierarchy of producers, a team of news gatherers, and a host.
Al's enthusiasm rose noticeably as he described his intention of including actual politicians as guests. It peaked when he explained that the show would stay current by injecting material at the last minute, commenting on the top new stories of the week.
Regular readers know that I am not a person who sees the glass as being half full. For me, the glass is always chipped, cracked and mildewed, and whatever liquid fills half of it is seen as terminally murky and crawling with germs.
I told Al I wasn't interested.
Why? I just said why. I invariably vote "Nay." But if you want actual reasons…
The biggest upside of Al's project was Al. He knew politics, and could be counted on to deliver a show that was smart, pointed and extremely funny.
I knew Al could come through with the political guests, because he knew these people – especially the Democrats – personally, having written jokes for many of their campaign speeches.
(As I later learned, Al is fearless about calling people, and he always thinks big. Al originally wanted Jerry Seinfeld to do the warm-up for the pilot episode of this series. He ended up with me. He also invited Neil Simon to write an episode for the show. He ended up with me.)
The biggest downside of Al's project was Al. First, although unquestionably a funny writer, Al had no experience writing half-hour comedies, where, in the final analysis, creating strong, identifiable characters is more important than the funniest jokes.
Writing broadly drawn sketches, based on some clever comedic concept, with one-dimensional characters and, often, inconsequential endings, is hardly the ideal training ground for writing what are essentially televised one-act plays. (He harumphed, in a condescending tone.)
Also, having worked almost exclusively on a show that did inject jokes at the last minute, commenting on the top news stories of the day (in their Weekend Update segment), Al ignored the fact that the "lead time" between a sitcom's production and its airing on television – at that time between two and three weeks – would prevent his most cherished element of the concept from ever happening.
One final problem that precluded our working together was that Al lived in New York and I lived in Los Angeles. Why is that a drawback in the era of modern technology? It isn't, really. It just gave me another reason not to do it.
I wished Al "Good luck", and went back to my nap.
A few months later, I get a call from John Markus, a writer I had hired for The Cosby Show, who had remained in New York – where The Cosby Show was produced – after his participation on that show had ended.
John explained that Al Franken had contacted him about the project I had said "No" to, and John, a man of considerably more optimism, had said, "Yes." They had written first draft versions of four scripts for a show, now called Lateline, and John wondered if I'd be interested in reading them.
I said I'd be very much interested in reading them. (Partly out of interest, and partly, once again, to check out what I'd passed up.)
I received the scripts, and I read them. They were fresh and exciting. They also made me laugh. I called John and complimented him and Al on their work. John asked if there was any way I could see myself participating in the show. I said I would consider being a consultant of some sort. And John, with Al's approval, said "Great!"
That's how I became a consultant on a news-themed situation comedy called Lateline.
More on that later.

Earl, it is so great to see you back at the keyboard on a regular basis. I'm sure the rest of your lurkers are thrilled that you're mending so well.
Welcome back, Oh Productive One, and thank you for these stories.

Lateline is a favorite of mine. I especially liked the later episodes when the Al Franken chaacter was sidelined and the other characters got more plots. And don't tell that was when you had left the show...
I recently bought the dvd of this series and I would love t if you could do a 'commentary', either typing your comments as you go through an episode or taping your comments live while watching the show (on earphones, so the sound isn't recorded with your comments) and posting the sound file as a seperate file we can download an play while we watch the dvd.

Decluttering isn't an easy task. Part of the reason people hold onto the items they no longer need is because they're scared they will need them again. To help with this concern, we put together a list of the items that you should definitely get rid of when decluttering.
How to Get Rid of Clutter: Start with These Items
- Old Clothes: It's hard to throw out clothes. Clothing can be expensive, and no matter how outdated the piece is, you remind yourself that it would be perfect for one particular event. This is not a good mindset to have, though, because it can lead to a very cluttered closet. Taking the time to comb through your closet and remove any items you haven't warn in a while will result in a more organized closet.
- Old Medicine: Everyone's medicine cabinet is filled with old prescriptions and outdated over the counter drugs that are no longer needed. If your medicine has expired, or you no longer need it, get rid of it. Not only is it not safe to have old medicine lying around, it also can result in some serious clutter. Be sure to follow DEA instructions when throwing out old medications.
- Mismatched Containers: Is your pantry and cupboards filled with mismatched containers you just can't seem to find the lid to? Get rid of them. Recycle all lids that are recyclable and throw out the rest.
- Herbs, Spices Cans and Mixes You Never Use: If you have had cans of sweet potatoes in your cupboard for the past year and have not managed to use them, get rid of them. Items that have not expired can be donated to a local donation center or shelter.
- Old Trophies and Awards: If the award or trophy means something to you, skip this tip. If you still have your participation trophy from your 3rd grade soccer team, consider getting rid of it.
- Old Baby Items: If you're done having kids, get rid of any unsentimental old toys, clothes and other baby items. These items can also be donated to a donation center or shelter.
- Old Receipts: Do you still have old receipts lying around from items you kept? Unless the receipt is needed for taxation purposes, or contains a warranty, get rid of your old receipts.
- Old Technology: What do we do when we get new technology to replace old technology? Well we hold onto the old technology just in case something happens to the new item. If you have had your new device for a year and haven't had any issues with the performance, get rid of the old technology. This will help to clear up extra storage space.
A Storage Unit Rental Can Help with Decluttering
Some items may not be as easy to get rid of as the items listed above. If there are a few items that you want out of your home but are unable to fully part with the quite yet, consider storing them in a self storage unit. Storage World has storage units in Decatur, GA on Panthersville Rd and Flat Shoals Pkwy as well as Jonesboro, GA, ready to meet your storage needs. Our storage units range in sizes from small storage units to large storage units, perfect for any sized storage needs. Our self storage specials makes a storage rental with Storage World easy and affordable. Contact one of our self storage facilities today!

This is what I've done.
I've transferred the Demon folder to the belowe.com site. Demon will be closing soon and the folder contains the Wolf3d news for 1999 to about 2002. The links from the Dome should be ok as I managed to edit the newsindex.html file on there.
All the links on the yellow page site now work.
Some addons have been added to the yellow page site. They are mainly ones that were on sites that have closed down. 4 or 5 from Dr Von Loon
and a set of 10 mapsets all shareware that were on Mikes wolf3d page. The links for Paal's mods have been changed.
The site search links were no longer working. All the ones on the old yellow page sites now work and will also search the Dome site and the Demon folder.
That is it for now. There may be a few links that will need changing for mods that are stored in the Demon folder but I will try and check these later.
The yellow page site is at http://www.users.globalnet.co.uk/~brlowe/

Mother Nature's April Fools joke
Well, they're in the upper 80s, so they're not exactly scorching, but it's still pretty warm. Carol and I walked 18 holes at the golf course this afternoon, and our clothes were damp when we got home.
And no, it didn't rain on us! It was just warm and humid.
But what got me thinking about an April fools joke is the fact that the June Bugs are out in force right now. Not quite swarming, but in significant numbers.
June bugs? In April? Isn't that a month early... or maybe two? Or is it the fact that April and June both have 30 days, and we just turned all the clocks an hour ahead, so the bugs are confused?
THAT makes sense. Or does it? Now I'M confused. But I confuse pretty easily sometimes.
Last night I asked Carol, "Do we fall forward, and spring back? Or is it spring forward and fall back?" We looked in the local paper, and the article there assured us to spring forward. But the VERY NEXT article warned us to beware of April fools jokes, so we weren't sure.
This morning we checked the Weather Channel on TV, and it appears that we were correct to move our clocks forward. Unless the Weather Channel is ALSO playing an April fools joke on us.
In any case, as I write this, my computer, my watch, and my cell phone ALL tell me it's 6:00 P.M. But I don't know if I should believe ANY of them, given what I know about the ongoing conspiracy.
Well, tomorrow morning when I get to work I'll either be on time or an hour early. Then I'll know. Unless the others in the office are all playing April fools jokes on me. And they would! They're like that.
But back to Mother Nature. I fear that she is sending us this unseasonably warm weather to soften us up for Easter weekend when Carol and I plan to go out of town in our camper to golf in the Texas hill country.
Then we'll probably have frost! Or snow.
That would be a REAL April fools joke. (They need to schedule the time change for some day other than April 1!)

Great post. We got a nice BIG snowstorm a while back on April Fools Day.
Not so funny.

John, I did get rain this morning; lots of lightning and thunder and probably at least an inch of rain. That is the first time we have had lightning in about 2-3 months. I tried to send it back down to you - but it insisted on going out to sea. Sorry!
- Michelle said...
So you confuse easily do you. Okay so how about this. I have to adjust the time on my MT software to co-ordinate with you folk springing forward on your clocks. And only because we go on GMT (Greenwich Meantime just in case you are confused). I have to adjust it by one hour forward but still being behind. So if I am behind why should I adjust it forward? Just because GMT tells me to? We dont have daylight savings hour here coz .... we are the size of Texas - too small a country for moving clocks backwards and forwards. Anyhoo, now instead of being 2 hours ahead of GMT (not Gin m Tonic), I am now 1 hour ahead of the Brits which also makes you one hour closer to me. Confused? You should be because I am.
