I've sold t-shirts online for years and I marvel at how the market has grown. Nowadays anyone can create and sell t-shirts online, even with minimal design skill and absolutely no screenprinting know-how. You can create designs on t-shirt marketplaces that do it all for you, upload designs to print-on-demand vendors who drop-ship orders for you, or even sell tees that you print and ship yourself via your own online store.
If you're going to set up an online store we recommend using Shopify. Their eCommerce platform makes it easy to sell your products from your website, social media, and more. Click here for a free 14 day trial.
Best of all, you can get started with little to no upfront costs, like I did on my own site:
This guide will walk you through three primary ways to sell t-shirts online. First, we'll take a peek at each option, its startup costs, who it's best for, and what you need to get started. Then we'll explore each t-shirt selling method in further detail. By the end of this guide, you'll know which type of t-shirt business is right for you, and how to get started so you can take advantage of this lucrative market.
Three Options for Your T-Shirt Business
Option 1: Sell t-shirts online via t-shirt sales sites
|Startup Cost
|Best for
|What you'll need
|Anyone with fun ideas for t-shirts
|Creativity, a free graphics program like Inkscape, social media accounts, and an account with TeeSpring, SunFrog, or another t-shirt marketplace
Your first option for selling t-shirts online is the simplest of the three. Several large t-shirt printing outfits have marketplace-style websites that allow you to create an account and add your tee designs. They take it from there. When your tee is ordered on their site, they print it and ship it straight to the buyer. You're paid a cut of the profit, which you set when you create your tee. With this option, you don't even need your own website to sell t-shirts online.
One great online marketing strategy is to start a t-shirt of the month club. Platforms like Cratejoy make it easy to run a subscription service providing both a marketplace to find new customers and the software to manage subscriptions. Your customers can subscribe to receive merchandise from you monthly! Click here to start a free 14 day trial today.
Option 2: Sell t-shirts via drop-ship using a print-on-demand vendor
|Startup Cost
|Best for
|What you'll need
|$3.99 - $29/mo. for website hosting
|Anyone wanting to sell a line of tees from their own website
|Creativity, a free graphics program like Inkscape, social media accounts, and an ecommerce platform like Shopify, Etsy, Ecwid for WordPress, or others that integrate with print-on-demand (POD) vendor apps.
This is the simplest way to sell t-shirts online through your own website. This option lets you build your own brand with tees that you market and sell through your online store, but you don't print them yourself. Instead, you'll use what's known as a print-on-demand (POD) vendor who prints and ships each order for you. The top POD vendors have apps that integrate with ecommerce platforms so you can quickly list tees for sale on your website. As they sell, orders are routed to your POD vendor, who prints and ships tees to your customers, then bills you the wholesale cost.
This is an ideal way to sell branded collections of fashion, fun, or fandom tee shirts, along with other POD items like mugs and pillows, with no upfront costs other than website fees. You'll need to set up an account with a POD vendor, like Printful, so that you can create and sell your branded merchandise online. It integrates with most eCommerce platforms so when customers place an order on your website, the order goes straight to Printful. It then prints your tees, fulfills your orders, and ships them to your customers. And if you're testing out brand concepts or different tee designs, the POD option lets you do it risk-free.

Option 3: Sell t-shirts that you print and ship yourself
|Startup Cost
|Best for:
|What you'll need
|$0 to $20/mo. for an online store
$300 to $1000's for t-shirt printing equipment and materials if starting from scratch
|Established t-shirt print shops and custom t-shirt printers who want to sell online
|Creativity, Adobe CS or CorelDraw graphics programs, an ecommerce platform like Shopify or Etsy screenprinting and design knowledge, a heat press and transfer materials, or t-shirt screen printing equipment
If you don't already make your own tees using screen printing or heat press equipment, this option requires the most knowledge, skill, and upfront costs of the three. In this case, options 1 and 2 are far better ways to start selling t-shirts online.
But if you already have a screen print shop or create custom heat-press shirts, this option suits you to a T. Essentially, you just need to launch a simple ecommerce store so you can sell t-shirts online that you print and ship yourself. With your own online store, you can also grow a custom-order business by letting customers design their own tees right on your website. We'll explore how to do that, and more, here.
This option also requires you to pack and ship all the t-shirts yourself, but thanks to fulfillment companies like ShipBob, this doesn't have to take much time out of designing and printing your shirts. ShipBob will stock, pack, and ship your shirts at the lowest possible price. They'll even store ready-made shirts in their warehouse for you. Click here to speak with a representative.
So, which online t-shirt selling option is right for you?
As you see, there's something for everyone when it comes to selling t-shirts online. One of the three methods discussed above is sure to fit your t-shirt business needs. Now we'll explore these options in more detail and show you how to get started with each.
Option 1: How to sell your designs on t-shirt sales sites
Whether you have a fun idea for a t-shirt or a full line of designs, you can quickly create and sell t-shirts online using marketplace sites like TeeSpring, Sunfrog, GearBubble, TeeChip, Spreadshirt and RedBubble, to name a just few.
What do t-shirt sales sites cost?
T-shirt sales sites are free to use. It costs you nothing to sign up for an account, upload or create t-shirt designs, and sell your tees. In fact, t-shirt marketplace sites don't bill you at all. Instead, they pay you for every tee shirt that you sell. Many even let you set your own profit margin, too. The only cost you might incur is advertising if you choose to use Facebook ads or promoted Facebook posts to market your t-shirts.
What do you need to do this?
All you need to create t-shirts to sell in these marketplaces is a good idea, some rough layout skills, and some spare time to create and post your design. Most of these sites have a built-in tools that let you create basic designs with text and clip art. But if you want to craft your own designs, you can use Inkscape, a top-notch design program that's free, or Adobe CS, Photoshop, or CorelDraw if you already use them.
Since these marketplaces list massive numbers of tees created by all sorts of sellers, it's hard to stand out. So to really be successful selling through online t-shirt marketplaces, you'll need an audience, either a blog following or, more commonly, a fan base and followers on Facebook, Instagram, and/or Pinterest. Most successful sellers rely on social audiences and Facebook advertising to sell their tees.
How do t-shirt sales sites work?
Each t-shirt marketplace website has its own unique features, but at the core, they operate similarly:
- Step 1: Upload your artwork or create a tee using their online design tools
- Step 2: Finalize your tee style and colors, and price your tee
- Step 3: List it for sale on the marketplace website
- Step 4: Market it to your social followers and other audiences, like your blog or email list
- Step 5: The website handles all sales, printing, and shipping for you
- Step 6: You get paid your cut of the profit
That's really all there is to it regardless of which t-shirt sales site you use, however there are some differences between them:
1. Most let you sell far more than t-shirts
T-shirts were the starting point for most of these websites, but now many let you sell your designs on hoodies, tank tops, mugs, totes, iPhone cases, and more. This is something to consider when deciding which to use.
2. Most give you a storefront page for your designs and even a feed for your blog
Most of these sites give let you build a storefront page so you can market a single page listing all of your tees and other products. Many, like Sunfrog, even let you bring a collection feed into your blog, like this:
3. Most t-shirt sales sites sell your tees individually, but a few use crowdbuying campaign methods
Most t-shirt marketplace websites sell and print tees to order, so buyers can purchase tees whenever they wish. But a few, like TeeSpring, still use the crowdbuying format. With crowdbuying, a minimum number of shirts, which you set, must be ordered before any are printed.
Marketing tip!
Some sellers use t-shirt sales campaigns as a clever marketing tactic, listing their tees as limited-time offers on their Facebook feed. That's something to consider to drive sales, too.
How do you get started on t-shirt sales sites?
You simply need to create a free account and design a tee to start selling on any of these t-shirt marketplace websites. Here's a quick look at how I set up an account and a t-shirt for sale using TeeSpring:
Step 1: Create your account on TeeSpring, this takes about half a minute:
Step 2: Upload your artwork or design your tee from scratch in the dashboard:
Here you can design a tee with text (A), add clipart (B), or upload your own art, which is what I did, also under the Art Tab (B). You can select which type of tee or other item you want to sell (C). (D) gives you the base cost of the item as you design it. Once you have your design in place, click Sell This (E), to go to the next page.
Step 3: Finalize your details:
Here, I set my campaign target sale (A) at 10 tees, but I could make this less or more if I wish. Remember, TeeSpring is a crowdbuying format, so if I select 10 tees, I need to sell 10 tees for the campaign to print and ship. Since I usually sell more than 10, I'm good with this. (B) shows me the estimated profit for the campaign. This is what I'll be paid if I sell 10 tees. (C) lets me change my tee price if I wish, which will change my profit estimate. (D) is where I can add more items to sell in the same campaign, so I add a tank top. As long as I sell a total of 10 items, tanks and/or tees, the campaign will print, and I'll be paid.
Step 4: Enter some final information and launch:
In this screen, you can name your campaign (A), with your item title. Then enter a description (B) for your item and some details about your design, like why you were inspired to create it. Under (C) select the category that matches your subject. (D) is where you can set a certain campaign length or make the item always available. If you select this, TeeSpring will automatically print every 3 days if there are orders. At (E) you can change the item url if you wish. It automatically creates one from your campaign name. When this screen is complete, hit Launch (F).
After hitting Launch, my t-shirt is live on the TeeSpring site, shown below, and ready to accept orders. The whole process took about 15 minutes. Not bad! Now I can go into my TeeSpring dashboard, post this t-shirt to my social media sites, start marketing and, hopefully, make some sales.
Is this the right online t-shirt business for you?
T-shirt marketplace websites are a no-cost, low-fuss way to get started selling t-shirts online. It's definitely the best solution if you don't have, and don't want, your own website. But if you want to sell t-shirts and other items from your own branded online store, the next option may be better for you.
Option 2: How to sell t-shirts via drop-ship using a print-on-demand (POD) t-shirt printer
If you want to build a brand around your t-shirt business, you really need your own online store so you can fully communicate your brand to buyers. Unlike Option 1, an online store gives you full control over how you present and sell your tees, so you can really build an identity. Plus you can do things like add a blog, grow an email list for marketing new tees to buyers, open a Facebook store, and even sell through other social channels.
Best of all, you don't have to print and ship t-shirts yourself. Instead, you'll use a print-on-demand (POD) vendor, like Printful, which integrates with your online store to print and drop-ship orders for you. Setting up this solution is a bit more involved than what we covered above in Option 1, but we'll walk through the details below.
What do print-on-demand t-shirt printers cost?
It's free to open an account with most print-on-demand t-shirt printers, and you only pay for t-shirts and other printed items when they're sold. So the only startup cost you're looking at is your online store hosting fee. There are many options, but here are my top picks and their costs to give you a starting point:
- The easiest online store solution for selling POD tees is Shopify, which starts at $29/mo. See our review of Shopify, plus other top ecommerce platforms and their costs here.
- Starting at $3.99/mo., a WordPress site costs less than Shopify, but takes more work to set up (see how to do that here). WordPress also requires a shopping cart plugin like WooCommerce (free) or Ecwid (starting at $15/mo.) to enable online sales.
So cost-wise, you're looking at a monthly fee of $3.99 to $29 or so to operate a POD t-shirt business with your own online store. But that investment isn't terribly high, especially since it lets you build your brand your way. Next let's explore everything you'll need to make this option work.
What do you need to do this?
To successfully sell t-shirts in your own online store using a POD vendor, you'll need these four things:
1. An ecommerce platform for your online store
As stated above, first you'll need an ecommerce platform to run your online store, like Shopify or WordPress with a shopping cart plugin.
2. A POD vendor to print and ship your t-shirts
Next you'll need to pick a POD vendor to print and ship your t-shirts. Most POD vendors have apps that integrate with top ecommerce platforms, so that part is easy. But picking the right POD vendor is important. You need to consider product selection, pricing, quality, and reliability.
Personally, I like and have used the POD vendor Printful. It delivers consistent quality, the app is simple, and it integrates with many platforms including Amazon, Etsy, Shopify, Weebly and many more. See them all here. Click here to sign up for free.
3. A graphics program or another way to design your t-shirt art
You'll also need a graphics program to create your t-shirt artwork, and the skill to create and save your art files. While POD vendor apps let you add your art to t-shirts, most don't have built-in design tools. So you'll need to design your artwork using a graphics program such Inkscape, a free top-notch design package, or Adobe CS, Photoshop, or CorelDraw.
If design isn't your thing, you can hire a budget-friendly freelancer at Fiverr to bring your ideas to life.
4. Social media accounts to market your online t-shirt business
To be successful selling t-shirts online, you'll also need social media accounts on Facebook, Pinterest, and Instagram. An online store is just the starting point for selling t-shirts online. The most budget-friendly marketing magic happens in social sites like Facebook, Pinterest, and Instagram. So that's where you need to be, too. See how to market your t-shirts for free on Facebook here, and using paid ads here.
How does the online store & POD vendor combination work?
Now that you know what you need to sell t-shirts online in your own website, here's how it all works:
Step 1: Set up an online store using Shopify, WordPress, or another platform
Step 2: Select a POD vendor and connect their app to your store
Step 3: Use the POD vendor app to create and list t-shirts and other items for sale in your store
Step 4: Market your t-shirts on social sites, via email, on your blog, or through Google adwords
Step 5: When an item sells, the POD vendor prints and ships it for you
Step 6: The POD vendor charges your credit card the wholesale price
Step 7: You keep the profit and continue to build your brand and market your t-shirts
So the actual t-shirt printing and shipping process is similar to that of Option 1, which is pretty hands-off for you. However, there's one major difference:
Handling Customer Service & Returns
With your own website, in the customer's eyes they are buying from you, so you'll handle any customer service questions or problems yourself. This is in contrast to Option 1, where the marketplace websites actually make the sale and handle returns and other issues for you.
As with any apparel sales, you'll have returns for items that aren't as expected, and exchanges for sizes, colors, etc. The top POD vendors are aware of this and work with you, but they typically don't refund items unless there's a mistake or a misprint. So you'll likely end up with returns that you have to refund, and that you won't be able to return to your POD vendor. When that happens, here's a tip! Use them for promos like social media giveaways and contest prizes.
Other than the occasional return or exchange hiccup, the POD process is pretty smooth. So if you think this option is right for you, here's how you do it:
How do you get started?
Since ecommerce platforms differ, the exact steps to connect a store and POD system varies. But we'll walk through the process to give you a general idea of how they all work.
Step 1: Set up an online store on an ecommerce platform
First, you'll need to set up an online store, which you can learn how to do in these guides:
- See how to set up a Shopify store and connect it to a Facebook Shop here, and learn more about Shopify and other ecommerce platforms here.
- Learn how to set up a WordPress site here, and see how to set up an Ecwid shop for WordPress.
For our example, we'll use a Shopify store with Printful as our POD vendor since that's the combo I use in my store.
Step 2: Connect a POD vendor to our Shopify store:
To connect Printful to Shopify, we'll sign in to our Shopify dashboard. Then click Apps in the lower left navigation and select Visit Shopify App Store:
Next, this screen appears and I type Printful into the search box. Note: under Recommended for You, you can find other POD vendor options, read about their service, and see user reviews:
The Printful App page comes up and from this screen I click Get to install the Printful App into my Shopify store. Here, I can also watch a video tutorial about using Printful with Shopify:
After clicking Get above, the next screen lets me Create a New Printful account or Connect an existing account. You'll need to Create New if you don't have a Printful account yet, or you can click here to create one now.
We're nearly done connecting Printful to Shopify. The last step is to Click Install App, below:
And that's it. Printful is now installed in our Shopify store. Now we can create our first t-shirt.
Step 3: Add a t-shirt to our Shopify store
After installing, the Printful App screen appears in my Shopify store dashboard. From here, I can Add a Product by clicking the button:
Next, this screen appears and I can select the item I want to sell. As you can see, Printful has quite a variety of items that you can sell. But we're working on tees right now, so I click on Shirts:
The next screen lets me pick the type of tee I want to sell. From here, I can access the full collection and pick the exact tee I want to use. Printful, like most POD vendors, gives you many apparel choices with a range of prices:
After I select my tee style, the next screen lets me upload my t-shirt artwork by clicking choose file. Note that I can have front and/or back prints on my tees. Plus I can select colors and choose which sizes I want to offer:
One nice thing about Printful is that it creates a mockup of your tee in every color you select, shown above.
In the next screen, I can choose which color tee to show as my main image, then enter my product title and description. Printful prefills the description with basic tee information for you, so you just need to describe your design and add other details to help sell your concept. After I do this, I click Proceed to Pricing:
In the Pricing screen, I see how much Printful will charge me for the item under Printful Price. Then, I can set my own Retail Price. The Profit column shows me how much I'll make when a tee sells. After I'm happy with my pricing, I click Submit to Store:
Here, I see that my t-shirt has been added to my store and is available to sell. Now I can Edit it if I need to, or I can click Add Product and create more tees or other gear:
And here's my POD t-shirt available for sale in in my online store:
That's all there is to it. When this item sells, the order is automatically forwarded to Printful to print and ship it to my customer. They even update the package tracking info in my Shopify store. That's the beauty of the integrated app, it's completely seamless.
Is this the right online t-shirt business for you?
If you want to sell t-shirts online from your own website, but have them printed and drop-shipped for you, this is the answer. Personally, I find the Shopify/Printful combo pretty foolproof, but there are plenty of other combos to explore if you go this route.
However, if you already print tee shirts in your own screen printing shop, or if you make custom tees using a heat press, Option 3 shows you how to expand your t-shirt business into online sales.
Option 3: How to Sell T-shirts That You Print & Ship Yourself
To sell t-shirts online that you print, or have printed, and ship yourself, you just need to set up an online store to list your tees and take online orders. We're not going to delve into the details of setting up an online store here since we have several guides that show you how to do this:
- See how to set up a Shopify store and connect it to a Facebook Shop here, and learn more about Shopify and other ecommerce platforms here.
- Learn how to set up a WordPress site here, and see how to sell products using a WordPress site here.
Instead, we're going to explore exactly what type of online store features you need for your particular t-shirt business. To do that, you need to answer these questions:
- Do you sell t-shirts that you print and ship yourself?
- Do you print custom t-shirt orders for customers?
- Do you do both; print your own designs and custom orders?
The answer to these questions will tell you what type of online store you need:
Answer 1: Yes – I sell t-shirts that I print and ship myself
If sell t-shirts that you print in-house or through a wholesale printer, then your online store needs are pretty simple. You just need to launch an online store using an ecommerce platform like Shopify, Square, Ecwid, or others listed in the links above. Then, list your t-shirts for sale in your store, on your Facebook Shop and social sites, or on seller marketplaces like Amazon and Etsy.
No matter where you sell t-shirts online, you'll want to take great pictures of your tees. We have a great guide that shows you how to do that using a cell phone camera here.
Answer 2: Yes – I print custom t-shirt orders
If you want to accept custom t-shirt orders online, first you'll need an online store on an ecommerce platform like those listed in Answer 1. Then you'll need an t-shirt creator tool so your customers can design their own tees online for you to print. Once upon a time, this technology was limited to those with big budgets, but no more. Several top ecommerce platforms and WordPress add-ons offer this feature at a very low cost. Here are some options to explore:
Online t-shirt creator tools for Shopify stores: T-shirt & Product Design Studio ($13.99/mo.), Product Personalizer ($9.99/mo.), see more here.
Online t-shirt creator tools for WordPress stores: T-Shirt Designer (free), T-shirt eCommerce ($49/one-time), see more here.
Answer 3: Yes – I Do Both
If you print and sell your own designs and take custom orders, you'll want to create an online store that combines Answers 1 & 2. Luckily, this is pretty easy since all of the ecommerce platforms that work with online t-shirt creator tools also have plenty of product selling features, too.
To sell your own branded tees and take custom orders, you need to organize your website so customers have easy access to both sections. BrandX Tee Shirts, a t-shirt printer in Tempe, Az., is a good example of a shop that does this.
Here is BrandX Tee Shirts' custom-order page. Here, buyers can use their online DIY t-shirt creator tool to design their own tees, or request PRO custom design services:
Plus, under Products they sell a full collection of fun preprinted tee designs based on trending topics, local interest, television shows, movies, and much more:
How to Get Started Selling T-Shirts Online that You Print & Ship Yourself:
As we mention above, if you want to sell t-shirts online that you print and ship yourself, the first thing you'll need is an online store to list your t-shirts and accept orders. Once you have this, you can expand into custom sales by adding a t-shirt creator tool to your site anytime you like.
Once you have an online store, you can also branch out to sell t-shirts online in a number of marketplaces, including Amazon and Etsy, plus sell on social sites like Facebook, Pinterest, and Instagram.
If this sounds like the right online t-shirt business solution for you, here are several guides that will help you put it all together:

The Bottom Line
We've covered the three primary ways you can start selling t-shirts online. The easiest method, t-shirt sales sites and marketplaces, lets you get started with nothing more than an idea. If you're a screen printer or custom t-shirt shop, you can expand your reach by selling tees online and by offering a design tool on your website. Or you can build a branded line using a POD vendor, like Printful, to create t-shirts that sell in your own online store. Click here to sign up for free.
And the nicest thing about any of these options? They cost little to nothing to get up and running.
Of the three, the priciest way to sell t-shirts online is to print them yourself. But if you already do that, then launching an online store to sell tees or take custom orders won't cost you much. You can even provide your custom-order clients an online design tool at little to no cost.
If you don't already print your own tees, there's no reason to invest any money in printing equipment and stock tees. You can sell t-shirts online with no costs at all using a number of t-shirt marketplaces that do all the printing and shipping for you. You just market your tees and reap the profits.
Or, if you want to create your own branded website, print-on-demand vendors give you the means to create a line that's wholly yours. You'll need to set up and maintain a website and handle your customer service, but they do the printing and shipping of orders for you. Again, with little to no upfront costs. If you decide to go with this plan, we recommend using Shopify to create your website.

So 2015 is finally coming to an end and it is time for us to open our arms wide and thank it for at it has given us.
Sure its been a tough year for mankind with mass immigrations and a whole lot of suffering, but focusing on the positives 2015 has indeed given us a lot.
One of the things, which we never thought possible was the introduction to virtual reality. Yes that has become a thing and has got many people wondering 'how?'.
Now if you were a teen in the 60's and someone told you, 'hey! You know what? Sometime in the future well be watching porn as if it were happening right in front of our eyes' now I'm pretty sure any sane soul at the time would not only think that the guy is a nut job but also probably beat him up. However if the teens of the 60s are still alive, jokes on you mate!
I have said this a million times and I'll say it again, Now, today, is a very good time to be alive. We've got a promising future ahead of us, in technology at least, and who knows maybe someday we'll have 3 or 4D porn, you never know!
Now moving on to the recent release by Facebook stating that they are working on a stand alone video app which will allow the users to see 360 or spherical videos just by tilting the mobile devices. The app would work on many platforms such as Apple devices, gadgets running android as well as devices using Google Inc.
After the acquisition of Oculus VR by Facebook last year, Mark Zuckerberg Facebook CEO announced that VR will be the next 'computing platform'.
In March, Mr. Zuckerberg said Facebook would support spherical video in its news feed, saying users would be able to "move around inside the video and view it from different angles."
Now lets backup a bit, last year Oculus VR came out with the ultimate virtual gaming experience for all the hardcore gamers out there who were willing to pay little extra to get the fancy shnanzy computer gear and the VR eye goggles, now after the acquisition, Facebook is trying to build on the idea and make it more attractive for people who don't like gaming and lets face it don't want to spend a fortune on VR. Facebook's idea is to give the online video calling and viewing a whole new dimension (literally). While this news may seem super exciting there is still a lot of time for this state of the art app to be available for download. The app is still in its development phase and Facebook still has a long way to go till we get this app on the app store. My question is, will it be free?
Now on the same level which is of course VR, lets move on to the opposite end, which is of course the more affordable ready to use end.
Google has introduced a VR product called the CardBoard. This is product which with the help of a few materials such as cardboard lenses, a magnet, a rubber band and Velcro will enable the viewer to view their smartphones in VR Google is letting users play games, travel through space just by putting cardboard in front of their eyes. How cool is that, take that Facebook!
Cardboard however does not have all the fancy features like it can't track head movement or body movement like Oculus' Rift can, it has a smaller field of vision, and takes a longer time for processing images. Having said that the product is super affordable, so I'm not complaining, plus the cardboard material will cost you only about 20 bucks. Many small entrepreneurs have seized this opportunity and have made a few bucks selling cardboard made headsets similar to the product released by Google. The popularity of the device has grown immensely and im sure an average smartphone user would have seen a video or two online showing people using cardboard!
Samsung also recently dipped their toes in whole new VR charade and are likely to relase a VR headset which will work in compatibility with the Note 5, S6 Edge+, S6, S6 Edge. Koo said it will be available to ship on Black Friday.
The new Oculus Rift VR gear is scheduled to release early 2016, and its not just gadgets they're coming out with, they are also bring out content, such as access to Netflix (bow down in gratitude) .
Oculus has also announced that the gadgets they will be soon releasing will have access to both Oculus Platform, which will allow for third-party developers.
Now ive talked about Facebook, Google and Samsung discovering the very untested waters, there has been a very silent treatment in the next gen tech business by Apple. I however fail to believe that Apple doesn't have a plan, I mean if Samsung's doing it Apple must be having super killer plan to get back, better yet ahead in the game . So far there have been speculations as to what Apple have been up to, what we do know is that Apple for the past two years has ben hiring some VR employees.
Back in February of this year Apple posted two job openings for Senior Display Systems Engineer and for "display systems design and development related to VR environments." And the same month Apple was granted a patent for a VR system similar to Google's Cardboard, in which a phone would be the brains behind a virtual reality headset rather then a separate device.
Apple is more of a copy cat, and you know what copy cats do, they just refine the original style and make it more unique and just refined, really! One thing I can say is that whatever the do come out with, its going to be real pretty.
Having said that, truth be told VR is still under development and is more of a I've dreamt it so ill make it happen' thing currently but one thing I've learned is to never under estimate a passionate persons motivation (I say this keeping one of my colleges as an example- he is always willing to work, even on a Sunday, that bastard) and so all these VR gadget promises made by the brands is a recipe for success, its new and it's the next big thing, and surely will make a lot of rich people richer!

When you think of home and home cooked meals there is always one that just stands out above the rest. A meal that you can remember being served for as long as you can remember. A meal that is just so good every time you have it. Well that is what this meal is to me. My mom made the best chicken roll-ups so I am here to share it with you today!
This is a crescent stuffed with chicken, mushrooms, and cream cheese...mmmmmmm!
1. First, boil your chicken in water. When it has cooked all the way through, take it out and let it cool. Then shred into small pieces. You should have from 1.5-2 cups of cooked shredded chicken.
3. When you chicken has cooled and has been shredded add it to your bowl and mix all the ingredients together really well. I have found it best to just mix with your hands. That way you can get the cream cheese and butter mixed in so that there are no clumps.
4. Next, lay out all of your crescents. You will need two cans totaling 16 crescent triangles. Put a nice big spoonful towards the larger end of the triangle. Depending on how much chicken you added you may not be able to fill all 16 triangles. I put 1.5 cups of chicken in my mixture and was able to fill 13 of them.
5. Roll up the crescents making sure the ends get tucked in and you have sealed all openings.
6. Dip each roll into melted butter and then cover with the bread crumbs. My mom always added a little bit of chopped nuts into the bread crumbs so I do too! Then place on greased cookie sheet.
7. Bake in oven at 375 degrees for 18 minutes or until brown and cooked through.
8. When there is about 5 minutes left on the timer start heating up the gravy to pour on top. Combine one can of cream of chicken soup and 1/2 cup of milk in a pot and cook until warm.
9. When everything is done, place crescent rolls on plate and top with your gravy sauce and enjoy!
Prep time: 35 minutes
Cook time: 18 minutes
Yield: 16 crescents roll-ups
mixture inside crescent -
6 ounces cream cheese
4 tbsp. soft butter
1/4 teas. pepper
3/4 cup mushrooms
2 cups cooked shredded chicken
2 cans crescent rolls (16 crescents)
dip crescents in before baking-
1 cup of bread crumbs
1/2 cup chopped nuts (optional)
4 tbsp. melted butter
gravy on top-
1 can cream of chicken soup
1/2 cup of milk

Stanford vs Oregon Football Betting Tip, 11-12-2016 – PrecisionPicks.com
Stanford Cardinals (6-3, 5-4 ATS) vs Oregon Ducks (3-6, 1-7-1 ATS)
Pick & Prediction by Jeff Hodges
Kick Off: 4pm EST
The Line: Oregon Ducks +3, 57
Handicapper: Jeff Hodges of PrecisionsPicks.com
Stanford opened the season ranked No. 8 in the AP's preseason poll and Oregon began at No. 24. Both teams have been bounced from the Top 25 rankings entering this Pac 12 matchup but Jeff Hodges has issued a free weekend football prediction and analysis below.
Stanford has three losses on the season, and all three came against teams in the Top 25 of college football according to the College Football Playoff rankings (No. 5 Washington, No. 15 Colorado, No. 25 Washington State). Despite those quality losses no one seems to be talking about the Cardinal and its success this season. Perhaps that is because of the hype placed on this team entering the season. Well, the Cardinal have a chance at a 9-3 season and a quality bowl game to help quiet the doubters.
Stanford has an uphill battle considering they have one of the worst offenses in the country averaging just 20 PPG. Christian McCaffrey has been injured which has hindered this offense. Good news for the Cardinals was that McCaffrey ran for a season-high 199 yards in Stanford's 26-15 home win last Saturday over Oregon State. He ranks fourth nationally in all-purpose yards at 190.1 per game but with 973 rushing yards and 287 yards on KO returns, he'll fall well short of the 2,019 rushing and 1,070 KO return yards he produced in the 2015 season.
It's about the defense for Stanford who concedes just 18 PPG and leads the Pac 12 in sacks.
When you think of Oregon football you think of a high flying, offensive powerhouse that scores at will. This season, the Ducks have averaged 38 PPG and rank 22nd averaging 494 YPG. If the Ducks had a defense they would be in much better shape.
The Oregon defense allows 535 yards per game which ranks them 127th in the country while allowing 42 PPG which also ranks them near the bottom at 125th. This defense has really struggled to stay off the field and it has been their achilles heal in 2016.
This matchup comes down to the Stanford defense. The Cardinals offense will not need to match score for score with the Ducks as their defense will be able to make key stops and limit the offensive production from the home Ducks.
Despite just a -3 point spread, Stanford will dominate this game. The Ducks are the superior offensive team, but this one will come down to defense, and the Cardinal have the edge. Christian McCaffrey will find plenty of running room against the Ducks and help pace this Cardinals team to another road victory.

Real Madrid planning Antoine Griezmann offer despite Barcelona agreement - Spanish report
CRISTIANO RONALDO is reportedly preparing for Real Madrid to miss out on deals for David De Gea and Thibaut Courtois.
That's according to journalist Eduardo Inda, who's made the revelation while appearing on Spanish show El Chiringuito TV.
Griezmann will have plenty of options on the table as he gets set to leave Atletico Madrid at the end of the season.
And Barcelona are thought to be the frontrunners in the race to secure his signature once they've activated his £89m (€100m) release clause.
Reports last month suggested the Catalan giants already have an agreement in place for Griezmann to head to the Nou Camp.
Inda has now revealed Real are going to take make their own proposal though as they look to bolster their forward line.
"Madrid knows that there is a verbal agreement with Barcelona," he told El Chringuito TV.
"They are going to try to make the product more expensive, which I think is very good.
Antoine Griezmann is expected to leave Atletico Madrid at the end of the season
Spanish reporter Eduardo Inda revealed Real Madrid are set to rival Barcelona for Antoine Griezmann
"But Madrid is going to make an offer for Griezmann."
Griezmann's head may be turned if Real do swoop for him when the transfer window reopens.
The 26-year-old supported Real as a youngster and was a fan of former Bernabeu ace David Beckham.
Don Balon indicate Atletico would prefer to see Griezmann to join their city rivals than Barcelona too.

Dragonlord - Black Wings Of Destiny (
Escape Music
To say
is a supergroup is an understatement. To find a band matching this caliper, is impressive in its own right, but a band that plays symphonic black metal, is more like turning a dream into reality. I've always liked this band ever since its inception, and the new disc "Black Wings Of Destiny" is no exception. Featuring Eric Peterson (Testament), Derek Ramirez (Testament), Steve Smyth (Nevermore), Jon Allen (Sadus) and Kyle Livingston you can call Dragonlord black metal with thrash tinge or since their background is so thrashy you can probably say thrash with a black metal main vein, either way this is impressive. Heavy and explosive black metal, and heavy metal thrash riffs have a tendency to have that effect. These blazing speed-driven riffs are all over this CD as well as majestic riffs. There are also solos with precision and vocals that are exactly what you would expect for black metal. And you can't forget the insane blast-beats and perfectly played majestic keys blended with the blackened riffs. The layering of this album has been done superbly, probably because it was recorded in Gothenburg, Sweden; a nice rounded sound. Dimmu Borgir, Susperia, The Covenent (before they industrialized) come to mind as you listen, even Emperor and Cradle of Filth. Its almost like they molded their style directly from Dimmu Borgir and the other greats. With the amazing quality of their talents combined to create this masterpiece, you can put Dragonlord up with other choice black metal bands. You can even say this is as good as the band members' main projects. Toward the end of these ten songs are the covers of Mercyful Fate's "Black Funeral" and Thin Lizzy's "Emerald." Both covers kick ass! Not much left to say except don't miss this disc.

God of War currently doesn't have a release date other than a suspected 2018 release, however according to a slip up over on the Chilean PlayStation Store, we now have some idea.
Spotted earlier this morning, the slip up revealed that God of War would be launching on PlayStation 4 on March 22, 2018. March has typically been the release month for the series and the same date was also spotted on the PlayStation US Store before both dates were switched out to December 31, 2018.
The good news here is that we might not have too long to wait for an official announcement as The Game Awards and PlayStation Experience is set to take place this weekend where we're bound to hear more about the game.
US PSN lists March 22, 2018 for God of War release date https://t.co/VK6dio3pOv pic.twitter.com/wvpW6xLqo2

It's also worth noting that the original God of War launched on March 22.

For weeks I've been manic. In truth, I have been for over a year or so, possibly more. With yesterday's revelation of it being the beginning of a new chapter, it's been challenging to move… More
Finally Letting Go, My Serenity Prayer
The early morning fog and its inevitable subside speaks to my life as it is today. Today is a momentous day. I have a great deal to be appreciative of. The thing is, while ordinarily, I'd want to crawl back into bed during some of life's challenges, I am proud of and humbled by my actions today.
I'm not perfect. And I'm not a saint. Regardless of my actions, I own them. Today I said goodbye to making excuses and feeling bad about the things that I could not change while being courageous in changing the things that I can. For over a year (actually, a great deal longer but passively so) I have attempted to navigate trying to become a version of myself that wasn't truly me. In doing so I had to finally let go of a person whom I loved in my life. It's as they say, some people are only meant to be in our lives for a season. And that isn't to say anything bad about the other individual, it is to affirm that the life lesson has been learned and it's time that we both moved on.
For Every Beginning…
There must be an ending. I realize that the last time I posted to my blog was back in April, an entire 5 months ago. A lot has happened during that time that seemed to meet its conclusion today. It has been a chaotic time, as life tends to be. And the recent downturn is one that I can trace back to late 2013, early 2014.
I'm depleted. Emotionally. Physically. But I'm not defeated. The past several years have been difficult as I have tried to adjust to being an independent contractor full-time. Having worked in a W-2 position for the majority of my adult life, the transition has been a bumpy one. In hindsight, I should've given far more consideration to choosing this path. I ultimately don't regret the choices that I've made, but there are indeed still moments of pause. Continue reading "For Every Beginning…"

Just use a single strand - not a double strand and no knot at the end.
Pattern: Beginning at the doll's right jaw line I work up around the face line to the left jaw line. The next arc of stitches goes in a row one quarter inch behind the front row beginning at the doll's left jaw line this time.
Continue sewing rows moving back over head and side to side. I make the hairline across the lower head even with the jaw line.
Now - here's how to attach the locks of yarn hair
Study the photo for a minute. I work in a circle around the scalp, this shows the lowest row. I then add rows behind it to fill in the scalp.
Beginning with your long thread:
1. Take a stitch, pull it tight, leaving a 2 inch tail hanging.
2. Take the 2nd stitch and rather than pulling it tight, leave it as a 2 inch long loop.
3. Take a stitch and pull it tight. (Being careful not to pull so hard that the loop of the previous stitch is disturbed.)
4. Take a stitch and rather than pulling it tight, leave it as a 2 inch long loop.
5. Take a stitch and pull it tight. (Being careful not to pull so hard that the loop of the previous stitch is disturbed.)
Continue repeating the sequence of alternating one loose loop with one tight stitch.
Believe me, it holds up - my grandkids play with their dolls and their hair is still holding on tightly!
I like to use both acrylic and worsted wool. The dolls in the photo have acrylic wigs. Be sure your choice is washable, though! Enjoy your doll making projects!

Parkinson's disease affects a particular part of the nervous system that controls movement. Although there are exercises that can help alleviate symptoms, adult children and caregivers in Bridgewater can provide independence and comfort with products that are designed to make life easier for people with Parkinson's.
1. Large Grip Utensils
Utensils with large cushioned grips prevent the utensil from slipping. They are easy to hold and comfortable for seniors who are experiencing weakness or control issues. Adjustable angle designs give the user either a left or right hand option.
2. Large Handled Mugs
Drinking is difficult for seniors who experience symptoms of Parkinson's. There are mugs available that have two large handles positioned across from each other, which gives the user extra stability while drinking.
3. No Spill Plates
Plates that have a suction cup base create a no-slip eating platform and a raised rim prevents spills. You can also invest in weighted and/or angled bowls and plates.
4. Straw Holders
Many seniors with Parkinson's find that drinking is easier using a straw. A straw holder easily attaches to the lip of a cup or glass with different holes, so that the straw can be placed at just the right angle. A straw designed for hot beverages is also a nice addition to kitchen gadgets.
5. ADL Cuff
Patients who are experiencing a lack of strength in their hands will benefit from the use of an ADL cuff. It wraps around the hand and holds eating utensils or writing implements so the senior doesn't need to grip the item.
6. Steady Writing
Writing can be difficult for those with Parkinson's but there are products on the market that are helpful. They are designed to help people write by using a weighted pen or a triangular base that balances the writing hand.
Parkinson's patients want to feel independent for as long as possible, which is among the top reasons for seeking Parkinson's home care in Bridgewater, and implements like those listed above will help your loved one maintain dignity as they adjust to PD symptoms.
For more information on home care in your area, give Home Care Assistance a call at 908.450.9400 or click here. One of our trusted Care Managers would be happy to answer questions, discuss care options, and schedule a no-obligation in-home consultation at your earliest convenience.

WitMorph – Walkthrough a Conversion
In my last post I described the problem of trying to change the Process Template of an existing Team Project in Team Foundation Server and the open-source project I built to solve it, WitMorph. In this post I want to demonstrate a simple walkthrough of the currently even simpler GUI.
I have a Team Project, imaginatively named "Agile-6.1", and it was originally created with the "MSF for Agile Software Development 6.1" process template. I also have another Team Project, named "Scrum-2.1", and it was created with the "Microsoft Visual Studio Scrum 2.1" process template which should be no surprise.
I am going to describe the process of converting the "Agile-6.1" Team Project to the Scrum template by using the "Scrum-2.1" Team Project as the definition of the goal. The reason for using another Team Project as the definition instead of the original process template is due to subtle differences between a template's structure and the resulting Team Project that I haven't addressed in WitMorph's differencing engine yet.
The very first step is to pull and build the WitMorph solution and then run UI project. It should look like this:
Following the numbers I've added to the screenshot above, click each of the buttons to select:
- The "Agile-6.1" Team Project. Clicking the button will reveal the standard TFS Team Project dialog.
- The "Scrum-2.1" Team Project. In my example both Team Projects are in the same collection but they could be on different TFS instances entirely.
- The "Agile6.1_to_Scrum2.1.witmap" Process Map File. This file can be found in the WitMorph project source under the ProcessTemplateMaps folder*.
- A file to which to save the generated action list.
It is important to note that when the "Generate Actions" button (5) is clicked, the two Team Projects will be queried for their current process metadata but no changes will be applied. After providing the required information and clicking the button the UI should look like this:
The contents of the generated "witact" file are not intended for human consumption but it is fairly comprehensible. It describes the series of incremental steps required to convert any Team Project based on the Agile template to the Scrum template:
Now, we can apply the list of actions in this file to the "Agile-6.1" Team Project:
- Leave the "Agile-6.1" Team Project selected as per step 1 above, or re-select it if WitMorph has been restarted since the action list was generated. You could also choose a different project to convert if it is also based on the same Agile 6.1 process.
- Select the action list file generated above as the "Input Actions File".**
- Specify an Output Path where the process of applying the actions will output a log and the intermediate work item type definitions (mainly for diagnosing issues).
- Click "Apply Actions" to convert the Team Project to the new process template. WARNING: I highly recommend having a backup of the TFS collection database before doing this.***
The WitMorph UI should look like this:
Upon connecting**** to the "Agile-6.1" Team Project with Visual Studio, you will find that all the existing User Story work items have become Product Backlog Items with all their original work item IDs, attachments, links, and history. You will also find that you can now create new Impediment work items instead of Issues and the Bug work items now have a Backlog Priority field among many other differences between the two templates.
There is still a lot of room for improvement in WitMorph (eg to update the work item queries) and if you'd like to contribute, simply fork the GitHub repository and send a Pull Request.
*These process maps can be improved and shared by the community for common conversion scenarios. I'd like to build an editor for this file format in the future.
**Aside from being able to re-use an action list for multiple conversions, the primary reason for separating the step of generating the list from applying the list is so that some steps can be excluded. For example, you may wish to keep a field that would otherwise be removed. Again, I'd like to build an editor for selecting actions to apply in the future.
***I find it best to backup the collection database while the collection is detached. This requires a brief outage but can be automated to happen during periods of low activity and makes restoring much easier.
****If you already had Visual Studio connected to the Team Project before conversion you may need to restart Visual Studio to force it to refresh the metadata.

It was reported on the news that stores like Nordstrom's Saks and Urban Outfitters are offering an 'in-store bar' for customers to drink while shopping. Is this a good idea? I know and you know bad purchases will be made when drunk. You'll get the lady who buys a string bikini because she has ten drinks in her and thinks she's lost fifty pounds. The next morning, looking in the mirror she realizes she made a bad purchase. Returns will be made. The reason on her return slip will read 'under the influence.'
This may be one shopping trip a husband won't mind his wife dragging him on. When you arrive at the store, you park your husband at the bar, kiss goodbye and go your merry way. Once he starts drinking he won't know or care how many hours have past. The longer you shop, the happier he gets. He won't remember you reaching in his pocket for his credit card because you maxed out yours. Shopping has become his favorite activity.
Men and women both may find shopping at the Whole Foods in North Texas a pleasant activity. This store is the first "commuter store," which offers perks for business corridor-ers such as a taco bar, an upstairs lounge and a girl whose sole job is to buy your groceries while you drink and wait for traffic to thin.
How it works: you call or email them your shopping list before arriving and the girl does your shopping – free the first time and around $7 after that — while you sit at the bar. You can even give specific guidelines such as, "I want green bananas."
When she's done, she'll keep your groceries refrigerated. When you're done with your beer check in at the concierge desk and collect your groceries. I want to know if she's paid extra to carry your groceries to the car.
Hopefully, the girl is not like my husband who'll look at the list and demand, "Bread? What do you mean by bread?" After I explain, "Bread, you know, the stuff you put meat between and make a sandwich with," and all the other items on the list I thought self-explanatory, I need as stiff drink. This drinking and shopping may be the next best thing since sliced bread.
One Response to "Drink and Shop"
Quite amusing! Brought a chuckle to warm a rally frozen wintere's day

Meishi Smile - Pastel
(2015 Zoom Lens)
(2015 Zoom Lens)
If its lead single and cover artwork are indications of what's to come, Meishi Smile's sophomore LP, ...Belong is bound to be the Los Angeles producer's most human effort to date. Though Meishi's shoegazey synth tone is still as present as ever - frost-tipped, conversely noisy and cozy - the overall vibe of the production has changed significantly. 2012's Lust seemed to exude sterilized forms of emotion, crudely projected by the silicone facial features of advanced artificial intelligence. It always felt to me like the sort of music that might blend into the background as a muffled hum over the PA system in a futuristic Urban Outfitters. It was like the ultra-danceable, Utopian counterpart to the Blade Runner score: one can detect the ghost of humanity behind a steely veil of synths.
The most recent Meishi Smile single seems to be a sort of prequel to Lust; man and machine work as a single unit. Atop a dreamy, 80s-pop inspired arrangement, Garrett Yim's vocals are the most prominent they've ever been, albeit bombarded by a smattering of grainy filters and effects. The combination of brittle shoegazery and vocals that seem to take cues from power electronics is brilliant. Meishi's lyrics are also much more human, but surprisingly depressing, using blood, veins punctured by an IV drip and pale white flesh to paint a grief-stricken soundscape. Pastel's world of flesh and blood is fraught with heartache, but it is the parallel to Meishi's older work that is needed to fully realize his vision of intense emotion and beauty in the digital age.

Thankfully, the NBA is on vacation today and I won't have to watch my playoff record plummet like Mark Prior's rookie card! Also, I'm going to be pulling a Cincinnati Bengal today, as I'll be in court for most of the afternoon, and will have to keep the banter shorter than the Bulls backcourt. But don't fret young Greggy G fanatics...I've got a pick and some pics to make you smile like Tom Brady when he rolls over in the morning!

Losing weight can be a struggle for many people. Fad diets, exercise contraptions, and quick fixes, are not only ineffective, but they can leave you frustrated and unmotivated. This article will help you lose weight successfully, without quick gimmicks. Just follow these tips and it won't be long until you are feeling healthier and shedding pounds!
One critical thing people forget to do when trying to lose weight is to eat enough food. This sounds surprising, since weight loss ultimately is about eating less than your body needs to function. However, you must take in enough calories so that your body maintains its normal metabolism. Take in too little food, and your body will go into "starvation mode," making the most of each calorie. So be sure to eat enough of the right kinds of foods when you're trying to lose weight.
A great way to lose weight is to stick with a type of exercise you enjoy. It's torture to force yourself to do something you don't enjoy, and when it comes to fitness, there are endless things you can do. By doing what you enjoy, you're more likely to stick with it.
If you're trying to lose weight, and are constantly hungry, you need to arm yourself with healthy, low-fat snack choices. Carrots and celery are always mentioned, and they're fine, but what if you want carbs? Choose healthy carbs such as nonfat (air-popped) popcorn with no salt. You can pop a huge bag of it, munch away along with a huge glass of water, and feel nice and full with no damage to your waistline.
When trying to lose weight do not fall for the fads, gimmicks and products that are too good to be true. Healthy weight loss should be limited to about two pounds per week. This is about five pounds per month. Most people want a quick fix but the best way to be on the road to weight loss is to take the pounds off quickly and keeping your health in mind.
Small snack size zip lock bags are your friends, stock up on them. If you bring a treat into the house, before doing anything separate the package into snack bags. If you eat chips or cookies straight out of the box you are much more likely to over consume. Save yourself the stress of limiting yourself when you're hungry by doing the work beforehand.
As stated earlier, it can be easy to turn to quick gimmicks and easy fixes for weight loss. However, the weight lost (if any at all) usually comes back, once you return to your usual habits. Follow the advice in this article to help you begin to lose the weight and keep it off.

It's seeking to defend its leadership position on the domestic fixed-line and mobile markets, expand into IPTV and mobile television, and strengthen its offerings to business customers. It may take control of Telecom Argentina in 2009 and it wants to consolidate European projects in Germany and France. Over three years, industrial investment is seen at 15 billion euros.

Ha, this is too true! The same can be said for the self-employed. The only reason I get up before noon now is because I'm self employed/a student.ReplyDelete
I'm basically self employed too. Consider the last panel in the cartoon the struggle all creative folk have between "gigs" and staying up late the night before (because you could) working on some really crazy idea you wanted to make.
I hear that! I always feel quite accomplished if I can wake up before the PM.ReplyDelete
Then again, I just stay up late when I can for reasons far less noble as being creative. If I only had a nickel for the times I've said to my self...OOOOO, (insert some movie here) is on!ReplyDelete

In the process of writing.
Sadly, the book needs to start off with the argument for Biblical relevance. In other words, can we trust the Word of God in plain text over what the culture tells us?
I'm trying to keep it very brief since there does not need to be a long discourse over this. Either people will accept it or they won't. They key is to get them to at least question and/or throw into doubt the cultural beliefs they've held.
What I have so far is a rough re-write that could use some additional feedback and/or arguments.
Is the Bible relevant?
For any Christian, this is one of the first questions you will have to wrestle with when taking your faith seriously.
As Christians, we live our life with a 4,000-year-old book as our guide. Some people would (and do) call that crazy. They say the Bible was written for a different people in a different time. They say it's been translated so many times that nobody knows for sure what it really even says. They say the entire thing is open to individual interpretation and so it means something different to everybody.
There are several simple arguments that strike this down if we believe the Bible to be God's Word.
- God is eternal. His character and nature does not change. Therefore, what He has told us does not change as well. His Word is trustworthy for all peoples and all times.
- If we cannot trust that the Word God sent to us to tell us about Him is Truth, then why would we live according to what God says? Why shouldn't we just live according to how we want?
- If we believe that the Bible is only culturally relevant, then any part of the Bible can be rationalized as only a "part of the culture" of the time. This is no different than moral relativism.
All of these questions allude to what is known as what is "Buffet Christianity." A Christian can go down the buffet line and pick and choose – from the Bible – what they want to eat. Don't like that particular food? You can just ignore it. Like that particular food? Pile it up on your plate. Living according to such a moral relativistic lifestyle is no different than declaring yourself your own god instead of believing in God and following after the example of Jesus Christ.
According to a Gallup polls in 2008 and 2014, 80% and 75% of those in the US consider themselves Christian.(1). However, as any Christian in that is living in the US can tell you, the vast majority of people do not live like they are Christians.
This is no mistake. Even the early Christian Church struggled with this. That's why the New Testament books were written. The new Christian converts in Judea, Asia Minor and the rest of the world were blending their culture with their new found faith in Christ. The gospels were written so that the new believers would know the message and acts of Jesus. Paul, Peter, James, and other disciples wrote letters to the various Churches in order to persuade them to eschew the culture around them and strive for purity and sanctification in both word and deed in Christ.
Now great crowds accompanied him, and he turned and said to them, "If anyone comes to me and does not hate his own father and mother and wife and children and brothers and sisters, yes, and even his own life, he cannot be my disciple. Whoever does not bear his own cross and come after me cannot be my disciple. For which of you, desiring to build a tower, does not first sit down and count the cost, whether he has enough to complete it? Otherwise, when he has laid a foundation and is not able to finish, all who see it begin to mock him, saying, 'This man began to build and was not able to finish.' Or what king, going out to encounter another king in war, will not sit down first and deliberate whether he is able with ten thousand to meet him who comes against him with twenty thousand? And if not, while the other is yet a great way off, he sends a delegation and asks for terms of peace. So therefore, any one of you who does not renounce all that he has cannot be my disciple.
– Luke 14:25-33 (ESV) – The Cost of Discipleship
This is the Cost of Discipleship. We lay down all that we are for the sake of Christ. We lay down our desires to follow Jesus. We lay down our families and those we may be close to knowing that we may need to choose Christ over them. We even lay down what the culture tells us. We take up our cross and follow Jesus.
This concept is the crux of understanding the rest of this book. If you believe that the God's Word is not relevant for all time – only culturally relevant – then you will not be able to understand how the wool has been pulled over many Christian's eyes by cultural indoctrination.
Our Creator, God, knows a thing or two about men and women. He made us. He created human nature, and He saw it go haywire when Adam and Eve sinned. He also gave us the Bible as a guide to understand His plan and how our human nature goes haywire. He knows what works and what doesn't. And He's given us some pretty clear instructions, if only we would take them seriously.
Therefore, we will be approaching Scripture with the assumption that it says what it means and means what it says. That may sound obvious, but you'd be surprised how many people will try to wiggle out of certain passages or simply ignore them altogether.
We live in a time in which the highest good is equality and non-discrimination and being non-offensive. The Scriptures highlighted in the rest of this book will offend some people – possibly you. We only ask that you judge the message on its own merits. Don't focus on whether or not it's offensive to modern sensibilities. Rather, ask yourself if it might actually be true.

Meaningless Platitudes,
How they dance and they weep,
For once, they,
once, they would have made me cross the world,
to keep The girl,
the womanly speaker
and speakee,
in my life.
Instead of leading me along this asphalt road,
to a loud death filled with little strife.
But I was spurned,
and so I'd settle, with a woman greater than
A girl, within who's arms my doubts,
my fears, my nightmares flee,
A princess, who saved me from the dark
of my subconscious' mine,
And slew the beast which stopped my healing,
through time. The trouble that was,
I cannot forget myself before her,
Sometimes, they resurface, these harpies of my fear, I,
find myself,
whether, or not,
it is fair, That I hide my true self,
the very 'who I am',
from my peers Instead opening myself,
to the woman who saved me,
From the depression,
depraved, the writer keeps buried within he.
Is it fair that I,
that he,
keeps a cowl across his head?
Or that my eyes,
are carefully kept blank, kept dead, From any threatening view,
or sympathetic glance,
Which may pierce, like a once jagged lance,
This false fortification, from within, for which I have toiled
to erect around me,
And through its gaping hole,
the black sin of my flesh,
be seen.
As a platitude,
and nothing more.

Jack Daniel's Single Barrel Collection has debuted its Personal Collection program this summer. An evolution of the "By the Barrel" program, brand enthusiasts from around the world are now able to purchase their own customized selection of whiskey via a hand-selected barrel of Jack Daniel's Single Barrel Select.
Only top barrels of the Jack Daniel's warehouse will be set aside for the Personal Collection program, as those are exposed to the most extreme temperatures and create the most flavor and color within the whiskey. Each barrel has its own personality and characteristics from being exposed to those extreme temperatures that create subtle differences barrel to barrel, a signature of the Single Barrel collection.
The "By the Barrel" program was originally launched in 1998 following the introduction of Jack Daniel's Single Barrel, the first iteration of the craft whiskey family.

text: Chemical Plant Safety Have you suffered a serious injury because an employer or coworker failed to adhere to chemical plant safety guidelines? Talk to an attorney from Arnold & Itkin today. We have experience working a wide variety of industrial accident cases. Whether you've suffered a burn injury or post-traumatic stress disorder because of your accident, a plant explosion attorney from our firm can help you pursue the financial compensation you need and deserve. Understanding Safety Regulations According to the U.S. Occupational Health and Safety Administration (OSHA), toxic, reactive, and flammable substances (liquids and gases) may result in catastrophic injuries and accidents. It doesn't matter what type of industry is using the chemicals—they still pose a threat to worker safety and well-being. Generally speaking, these substances become dangerous when they are released. When a substance is released, it may cause and explosion. Because of this danger, OSHA has created specific safety guidelines that must be followed by chemical plant employers and employees. Although safety regulations are used primarily to keep employees from suffering serious injuries, they serve other purposes, too. For example, employees will feel valued by their employers when they know that their safety is important. Additionally, safety procedures make sure that chemical plant workers are able to return to work the next day. Without a chemical plant, workers would not be able to collect pay checks or continue work. Safety procedures help companies stay productive by avoiding accident-related shut downs and other unnecessary interruptions. The Most Important Safety Guideline According to OSHA, employee training is the most effective way to keep employees safe. Ignorance can easily lead to a deadly accident. Because of this, employers are responsible to provide initial training for new employees. If an employer fails to properly train new workers, he/she may be held liable for any accidents and injuries caused by the new employees. Employees should have a clear understanding of the operating procedures of the plant. Additionally, the training must emphasize employee safety and safety operating procedures. According to OSHA, all training must include information regarding emergency procedures and health hazards related to the work. After the employer has provided initial training, refresher training must be offered every three years. If the employer believes that refresher training is necessary before the three years is up, he/she may require employees to participate sooner. Refresher training is designed to help employees remember the safety procedures related to their job and to make sure that they understand and are practicing all of the proper safety procedures related to their jobs. Your employer is responsible to make sure that refresher training is given. During training, you employer should keep a written record indicating the date of the training, that you participated, and that you understood the training. Investigating Incidents According to OSHA, one of the most important parts of safety management is investigation. When a dangerous incident occurs at a chemical plant, it is imperative that your employer investigates into the specifics of the incident. Investigations should be started within 48 hours of the initial procedure and should include the following: When the incident occurred When the investigation began Details regarding the incident What contributed to the incident What should be changed to avoid future problems Contact Arnold & Itkin for Immediate Help If you have been hurt in a chemical plant explosion because your employer failed to follow safety procedures, you may be entitled to money. At the firm, we have vast experience working with accident victims. If you or a loved one has been hurt, call our office today. When you contact us, we can help you understand your legal circumstances, rights, and options. Call today and see what a plant explosion attorney from Arnold & Itkin can do for you.
