The Abilene and Fort Worth cultural tourism folks have produced a pair of CDs that tell about the history of the towns you drive by on the way from Fort Worth to Abilene or Abilene to Fort Worth.
The CDs are called "Windshield History" and they offer interesting vignettes along the 150-mile stretch of West Texas that a little more than a century ago was the Texas frontier.
Conceived and written by McMurry University history professors Don Frazier and Robert Pace, the CDs involve a number of Abilene residents who portray characters from the past bringing alive the story of their part of Texas.
The first CD, which came out three years ago, follows Highways 180 and 351 from Fort Worth to Abilene, passing through towns like Mineral Wells, Breckenridge and Albany. The new CD, released this month, follows Interstate 20 from Abilene to Fort Worth, with pieces on places like Clyde, Baird, Cisco, Ranger, Thurber and Weatherford.
Great for a summer road trip and reasonably priced at $5.99 each, the CDs are available online at http://www.texasstartrading.com/ or by calling Texas Star at 325-672-9696.

Home printers make printing almost anything simple, easy and cost-effective, especially because you can find cheap toner cartridges with ease. However, like any electrical device, things can sometimes go wrong. If you turn on your printer and find that it is not working as you want it to, you may immediately think the worst. However, there are a few steps that you can take to try and sort out the problem, so work your way through the following steps and see if you can resolve it.
Check the Connection
The first thing that you should do is to check that your printer is actually connected to the power supply. If it does not make any sign that it is connected, check the switches and the plug and make sure it is receiving power.
If it is turned on but still not reacting to your printing requests, make sure that it is connected to the computer properly. This may be in the form of a USB cable or a Wi-Fi connection. Wi-Fi connections may be more problematic because if you lose your connection to the internet the printer will stop working. So go over all the possible areas where the connection could be a problem, and then move onto the following steps.
Check the Paper Supply
One of the most common problems when printers stop working is that the paper supply has run out, or the sheets have become jammed. Check the paper to see if there are any problems here before progressing.
Check the Ink Cartridges
Another thing to check is the ink cartridges. It's possible that the ink cartridge may have come dislodged or might need to be re-aligned. Your toner cartridges may also be running dry so check that they have not run out of ink. Your printer should pre-warn you when the ink cartridges are almost empty, however if not, you can then prevent this problem in the future by making sure you check the level of ink regularly so that you always have a good idea when you need to stock up. You may also want to buy larger cartridges that will last longer and can sometimes be more economical to buy. Also consider compatible ink cartridges and remanufactured ink cartridges which can be a cheaper alternative to branded ink cartridges.
Check the Manual
If you see flashing lights on your printer, these could mean a whole range of different things. To find out what the problem is, check your manual. If you don't have a manual you can usually download one from the manufacturer's website.
Call Your Manufacturer
If you cannot find out what the problem is then call your printer manufacturer. You should not start taking your printer apart because you could end up damaging it further. Try to get it seen by a printer technician who will hopefully be able to fix it for you.
Sort Out Your Printer Problems with Ease
Printer problems can sometimes be the result of a serious defect, but more often than not they are due to minor problems that you can solve on your own. Work your way through the above steps next time you try to print something and find that it does not work. And remember to keep stocked up with the cheapest ink cartridges you can find so that you do not run out of ink when you most need it.
Serious about good quality, low cost printer ink and toner cartridges? Keith Newby invites you to take a look at 365INK. An online ink supplier guaranteed to offer you the very best discounted prices for all branded original and re-manufactured ink and toner cartridges.

Does anyone know if there is any way to delete a share? I was answering a comment on one of my hubs and accidentally hit the share button. Thanks in advance.
Sorry. Your life has ended as you know it.
Actually, don't worry about it. It has already faded into the dim mists of internet history. On a disaster scale of 1 to 10, with 10 being highest, an accidental share doesn't even rate a 1.
@Glimmer Twin Fan, There isn't a way to undo a share. I've been looking at the share feature (I'd like to speed it up) and looking at how people use it and ways to improve it. I'll add this to the list of enhancements. Any other suggestions?
Paradigmsearch mumbles something about a g+1 button and quietly slinks away...
While you're taking suggestions, Paul, the Share feature seems to sort of disappear and then come back while you're on a hub. I'm not sure I'm explaining this - but as you scroll, now you see it, and now you don't. And then it will eventually come back. Regular Hubbers know it's there, but some people may never know it's available.
I've noticed it sometimes drifts too close to ads, and I worry about accidentally clicking on an ad while trying to hit it. It's a bit like playing Whack a Mole at times.

"A Slice of the Action"
Rated 5 / 5 stars
Definitely Your Best...For Now
Once again your animation has that very professional sheen. Plus your writing and music give off that cheesy Saturday Morning Cartoon Feel, then the writing just gets really psychotic, and it works because it still feels like a parody of the cartoons of yesteryear. I honestly don't have a single bad thing to say, seriously! Ordinarily I do to, there's always one small flaw in what seems like the perfect flash toons, but this one doesn't have it. Bravo.
Left 4 Speed
Rated 4.5 / 5 stars
Perfect Flash For Anybody Who Owns It
And it's also funny even when you only played through 1 campaign. I recommend watching this though after playing the whole thing, that way you get some of the subtle jokes in this.
FRED - Animated Series
Rated 5 / 5 stars
You're Doing God's Work
It's good watching an overrated piece of crap get what's coming to him, even if it's not real. By the way, good musical choice, plus it's always good to see Happy Harry himself take a piss on Fred's dead body.
One More Brawl Taunts
Rated 2 / 5 stars
8 for animation, 0 for writing.
I don't get why everybody craps tens on this series, it really isn't all that great...I do have to say that Kirbopher's and secondstamp's animation's gotten a lot better and it's smoother, but, just because it looks good doesn't mean you can't say the same about everything else. No offense, but these flash need new writers, especially ones that don't go on 4chan and blurt out (and horribly maim) jokes from the site every chance they get. It's only funny when it's in context, as in, it's only funny on /b/ or if it's in private, otherwise you sound stupid. And this series isn't the only one guilty of this, so I'm not singling any one out. Also, like the Scary Movie series as of now, all of the jokes just seem to be video game or movie references. I can understand Brawl and other Super Smash Brothers jokes, but Phoenix Wright seem horrendously irrelevant you know?
But aside from that, that animation really is getting really better, it's a lot smoother and better to look at. It's not the Best,(HappyHarry holds that title,) but it's still pretty damn good. i'm actually starting to enjoy animation styles like this, it's pretty timeless as in it's fluid and it won't look crappy years from now. So keep on keepin' on and making flash, it really does seem like your niche, but writing like this is my pet peeve.
Chris & Harry
Rated 5 / 5 stars
I've grown a liking to your style.
This has to be your sharpest nonsensical comedy bit yet. I really liked this one. Your style is perfectly executed in this one. Plus I didn't see that cheap-shot coming. Kudos to the three of you.
GunsoftheAwesome Trailer
Rated 5 / 5 stars
Good Job!
I've been waiting for this nonsensical fun. The voice for snake was pretty good and the animation was funnily awful like always (not an insult). This is really worth watching 5 more times, which I am going to do now.
Awesome Compilation Vol 5
Rated 5 / 5 stars
This one has greatly improved animation of the previous awesome compilations. Plus the just the jokes never seem to get old...EVER.My only complaint is that the Easter eggs weren't as good, but it's forgivable. Any who, keep up the good work.
P.S. Will there ever be an Awesome Rising 2?
Jerry and The Closet
Rated 5 / 5 stars
I've always liked your stuff.
The dialogue was funny, and the animation was very smooth. Bravo. By the way, was Salad Fingers in the closet, or was it just me?
Transformers Mediocrity 2
Rated 5 / 5 stars
Even better than the first one.
You did really good job on this sequel. The animation is crisp with out lag, the voice acting is top notch,(you actually got DR SMOOV to play a part :D) and the jokes aren't dry at all. It's good to see some flash like this on Newgrounds. Keep up the worth while work.
MGS: Flash Collab DISC 01
Rated 4.5 / 5 stars
I actually liked the second one better, but there were some bits in this one that are classic.

Yorkie Breeders How to Know That Youve Found a Good One
By Anna Woodward
Yorkshire Terriers are adorable. No question about it, they are little and they look like so stylish, such fancy little dogs. They are wonderful little long haired ones. If you want one of these great little lap dogs then you need to find a reputable Yorkie breeder.
There is such a thing as a breed standard. If you are planning to show the dog when it gets older then it's important to know the standards. A good Yorkie breeder will know and adhere to these types of standards. The biggest thing of course is the coat color.
Many of the people that breed Yorkies won't continue mating those with color combinations that are in contrast to the standard. Why? Well there is the belief that those that have the wrong color combination, is linked to a genetic defect and it could possible affect the dog's health down the road. They will also breed only those with the long silky hair instead of the wild and wooly.
A good Yorkie breeder will also be active in the Yorkshire terrier circles. Some of their dogs might be just the show ones, or they could be part of fly ball, or any other type of performance or conformation arena. This way you will be able to know that when it comes to the breed, they do know what they are talking about.
These people also should offer you some sort of genetic testing on their parent canines. This way they will know what faults their dogs have. Every one of them has some sort of default. No dog is perfect, the problem becomes when the default is so bad that it could be a problem for the dog.
Even if you plan on showing it, have a small default will not keep him from winning, dog shows are about who is closest to the standard not who's perfect. But you need to know these things before you purchase one of these great little ones.
Another characteristic for a great Yorkie breeder will have the dam on site so that you can check her out. You want to know who the mom is. It's important to be able to see her if you are able to make the trip out of to the home the puppies are at. They also need to allow you to visit if at all possible. The area that the puppies and dogs are kept and raised should be sanitary.
You should take your time to find the perfect breeder for you. Don't rush into anything. The last thing you want to do is to get a puppy that was born and raised in a puppy mill.
If you are looking for Yorkie breeders to find the perfect furry friend you have always wanted, you now have professionals who will offer you your choice of breed along with guaranteed health and support from them. To know more, visit http://www.nataliesyorkies.com/

What is under discussion is what to put in the "empty" slots of the newly doubled array, ocaml having no "null" or "undef" value to stuff in them.

|Reviews for Out of the Shadows
| 1sunfun chapter 22 . 2/17/2013
A really nice and interesting story. Very good, original and exciting.
| Reading Nut Cassirole chapter 22 . 2/17/2013
that story was so good. i loved it and i cant wait to read the sequel
keep up the good work :)
| 1sunfun chapter 17 . 2/17/2013
Shikamaru and his squad were hidden behind various trees, awaiting the arrival of their pursuers. Hinata was crouching behind the tree closest to Shikamaru, her byakugan activated so she could monitor the incoming attackers. She flashed eight fingers at Orochimaru, and gave the hand signal that meant they were approaching in a straight line
The Orochimaru should also be Shikamaru.
| Reading Nut Cassirole chapter 15 . 2/16/2013
ok im deff not done reading this story but i had to comment on one thing... THAT MOVE SHIKAMARU DID WAS TOTALLY AWSOME! i loved it and really which he new how to do it in the actual series cuz that would just be so awsome to see him actually preform... ok im gonna continue with the story now :)
keep up the good work :)
| Tandy Sandman chapter 22 . 1/20/2013
This is probably one of the best Shikamaru centred piece I've read. Thanks so much for sharing, I really enjoyed it!
| LucianUzumaki chapter 9 . 1/1/2013
If you target a shinobi of this village, be prepared to pay the ultimate price. In Konoha, even the shadows can kill. I love that line. I've always been a fan of Shikamaru. He is bad ass to the core and the fact that he doesn't flaunt it makes him that much cooler. This is quickly becoming one of my favorite team 10/shika fics.
| Ariseye chapter 22 . 12/9/2012
This story epitomized exactly why I still read fanfiction. After dodging through all of the terrible grammar, spelling, completely unbelievable characters, and copy-paste stories, every once in awhile you hit a gem like this. The characters changed, but in a mostly believable way (Hinata being the only one I felt was a bit extreme given the lack of drastic events). Most of all, it was still Naruto, still the characters and world that I was aiming to read without being a simple rehash of the events Naruto's team faced. It exposed new material without needing any drastic "visitations", "gift techniques", or "best everers".
Thanks for the great read, I look forward to more.

Great story. I actually enjoyed this version much more than the original! You made the characters so much more complex and filled with so much more emotion- and I liked how you made Ino and Hinata, who were portrayed as basically useless, show the potential and the power they have!

One of your most epic stories! Off to read the sequel XD
| Crown of Shadows chapter 22 . 8/3/2012
Excellent Story all the way through.
The way Team 10 was written was great. The dialogue and character development was spot on. I did worry that you were making them too dark and cold but in the end they were still who they have always been. I still think Shikamaru would still spend time staring at clouds, I never thought the only reason he did was because he was lazy but because it helped him relax and focus his mind.
Some of the characters talked in a way that I didn't fit with who they were. The third hokage and Gaara(when he was in the hospital) are just some of the people that spring to mind.
The Sasuke retreival arc was great and veered away from the original manga that you can take the story in a number of different directions.
Sasuke having his mind wiped of his brother should prove to be a big game changer. It'll be interesting to see how Itachi is handled in the next story with the third Hokage alive and him knowing where Itachi's true loyalties lie.
Can't wait to read the next part of the Story.

I thought the Hokage battle was a little too short. The first and second seemed to be taken out a little too quick. Orochimaru should've been hurt a little more considering who he was up against.
I hope Kabuto isn't dead. Based on what is currently going on in the manga and the big role he has there I hope its not the end of him. Considering the fact that we didn't witness the fight makes me think he will come back in some way.
The fight with Gaara was great and with Gamabunta being preoccupied it was nice to see the genin come up with a different solution to end the fight.
Can't wait to read the rest.
| Crown of Shadows chapter 16 . 8/1/2012
Great story so far.
Even with knowledge of the invasion beforehand it's not something that would be easy to defeat and it really shows.
Before the matches when naruto comes back with 3 people shouldn't Shizune be with them. Not a big deal but just something I noticed.
Choji vs Neji was a great fight and it was nice to see Choji realize what was going on and adjust his strategy on his own without Shikamarus help.
I think the Hokage still has to die after his battle even though he has some major help. It'll be interesting to see how Tsunade reacts to having to fight her grandfather the 1st hokage.

Oh, this was very, very good. I always did like Shikamaru, and playing with the potential of the Rookie 9 is always fun.
| Zaphod Prefect chapter 22 . 7/28/2012
I Have been reading your story for the past three days and I just finished it. It is an amazing tale. I've always wondered what would happen if Shikamaru became motivated earlier, and I'm really happy with the direction you took with his character. I also liked the balance between grittiness and humour; the rookie 9 growing up, Hinata's and Neji's bond, and Jiraiya's portrayal as a badass shinobi (his casual dismissal of murdering Kabuto had me supress a shiver). Very well done.
| Crown of Shadows chapter 13 . 7/27/2012
So now the preliminary matches are over and the real event so going to happen soon.
The fights that were the same as the manga were alright. They were done quick and offered other peoples thoughts on what was going on.
Gaara vs. zaku was very similar to his battle with Shino in the original.
Shikamaru vs. Dosu was an interesting fight. Don't know how i feel about Shikamaru killing him. I know he's more focused and determined to save his friends but something about it just didn't feel right.
Hinata vs Kin. Good to see Hinata step up and move to the next round.
Neji vs. Lee was probably the best fight. Lee has been training for the chance to show to Neji that hardwork does pay off and showed what he is capable of.
Choji vs. Mizumi and Ino vs. Sakura were both good fights and its good to see that all of Team 10 will have a reason to keep training and not just Shikamaru.
Shino vs. Kankuro was a pretty even match with Shino just barely pulling out the victory.
Can't wait for the exams to see how the invasion plays out.

We are down in Launceston for the weekend at Adam's parents place on the Tamar River, for a belated Christmas celebration with his side of the family.
We were meant to come down over Christmas but the airfares were just too prohibitive, over 1k… For that we could fly down every month! It still wasn't cheap but way more reasonable than that. Adam's sister and nieces live here, just a few doors down so it's a real celebration for us with all the grandkids in one spot… so our Christmas is tomorrow!
For now though, relaxation is in order whilst Sean's cousins keep him amused. Crawling comps have been the order of the afternoon thus far 🙂

Creative teams play a pivotal role in driving the success of digital assets — whether being utilized across content marketing campaigns, ecommerce platforms, or social posts — but they are often hampered by inefficient design, and approval processes.
Sep 14, 2010
Ebyline, a new content marketplace for news publishers and professional journalists, has launched. The service, which is open to professional journalists and freelancers with published work, offers an alternative to the typical journalistic model of publishing, allowing writers to improve their visibility and openly pitch, negotiate fees, and sell finished work to publishers and news organizations. For publishers, the Ebyline platform aims to improve the ease with which freelance stories can be assigned and purchased, offering incremental revenue opportunities. Publishers and publications that plan to utilize Ebyline include Variety, ProPublica, Minnpost.com, and The Texas Observer, each with plans to price their stories at $25-$300. Journalists using the service at launch include members the Journalism Shop and the Sports Media Exchange, both organizations of credentialed freelance journalists. Access to Ebyline is free for all approved parties.

Why CLASH of the TITANS is going back for reshoots and the possible 3D conversion
Is director Louis Leterrier's production of Clash of the Titans in trouble? With the fantasy adventure's March release date locked, the announcement of reshoots to begin in January would certainly make it seem so. But apparently and thankfully that's not the case for the highly anticipated epic remake.
While promoting the release of his latest film Avatar over the weekend, Titans leading man Sam Worthington revealed to the LATimes that Warner Bros., pleased with Letterier's work, has increased the budget for the film.
We're going to be going back and shooting more scenes for it, they cut loose with some money so we can add to it. We're going to be shooting more scenes in January, so we're going to be right up against it -- the movie comes out in March.
In response to the obvious and very apt question of whether or not it was REALLY enthusiasm on the studio's part, Worthington admitted:
There were some creaky parts but they are the parts that we knew were creaky and that we knew were going to be creaky going into it.
Insisting though that the producers are setting their sights higher for the film he added:
The studio is also letting us add some gods and scenes. And they're talking about making the movie a 3D film.
The possibility of throwing millions at it with a 3D conversion certainly testifies to the studio's faith in the project. And if they're able to flesh out characters, I'm all for it. Sources from AICN also point out that the need for pickups on certain God sequences were identified a while back. But the scenes required Liam Neeson -- who stars as the most powerful of the greek gods, Zeus -- who has been busy filming The A-Team. So the last minute scramble is due to scheduling conflicts and not a troubled production.
I'm ready for the release, everything we've seen from the trailers looks to be all sorts of epic greatness!

Charges: Skyway man killed grandmother after years of abuse
Prosecutors say the man went on to kill his ex-girlfriend's friend while she house-sat in Renton.
Updated 1:24 pm, Tuesday, July 14, 2015
Prosecutors say a 24-year-old Skyway man killed his grandmother Tuesday after years of abusing her and refusing to comply with court-ordered mental health treatment.
They also say he fatally shot his ex-girlfriend's friend, who was house-sitting for the ex-girlfriend's family in Renton when her killer broke into their house.
Prosecutors charged Zachary D. Craven with two counts of first-degree murder Friday, as well as second-degree assault for pistol-whipping his grandmother's friend in a separate incident.
Both homicide victims died of a single gunshot wound to the head.
A judge increased his bail Friday from $2.1 million to $5 million. He remains held in King County Jail.
The death of his grandmother, Angelika Hayden, occurred within two weeks of Craven's conviction of domestic violence felony harassment for threatening to kill her. He was ordered to undergo drug treatment in lieu of prison time and was issued a no-contact order for Hayden. He was to report to drug treatment July 1, but didn't show up.
Craven lived with Hayden until September 2014, when the incident for which he was most recently convicted occurred. He threatened to kill her while she drove him to the hospital so he could acquire pain medication and he jerked on the steering wheel while they traveled on state Route 167, court records say.
Craven then went to live with Hayden's close friend in Kent until he reportedly pistol-whipped the frriend July 1 and threatened his life, which the man reported to police the next day. That prompted prosecutors' second-degree assault charge.
On July 5, Craven reportedly went to Hayden's house to retrieve some belongings, despite the no-contact order. During that visit, he allegedly mentioned something about money several times and appeared intoxicated. Hayden called police the next day.
The first death July 7 was reported at 7:44 p.m. Hayden's friend -- the one who had been pistol-whipped -- found her dead in her Skyway home in the 11000 block of Parkview Avenue South.
He found Hayden lying in a fetal position on her living room floor, blood covering her face and the floor and furniture around her, reports say.
Cops found a spent .22 caliber casing on the living room couch.
Police, upon learning about the pistol-whipping incident with Hayden's friend, searched his residence and found several .22 caliber rounds in the area where Craven slept.
Hayden's grandson had also been convicted in 2012 of second-degree animal cruelty for fatally stabbing her cat. He received a suspended sentence.
That same year, Craven was charged with fourth-degree assault against his mother, but the charge was dropped due to lack of victim cooperation.
Craven was then convicted in 2013 of first-degree theft and felony harassment against Hayden. In that case, he repeatedly threatened to kill his grandmother with a knife while demanding her debit card, punched through her TV and tied her up. He eventually took her debit card and crashed his car on Interstate 405, where he was arrested for DUI. He was sentenced to 90 days in jail and received credit for time served while his case went through court.
He was ordered to treatment, but refused to comply and was kicked out of the program.
The second July 7 homicide involved a friend of Craven's former longtime girlfriend.
Craven and his ex-girlfriend dated from 2012 to early June this year. Court records say the relationship was fraught with abuse, including his demands that she download an app on her phone that allowed him to track her whereabouts physical abuse, according to charging records.
Before she left for vacation with her parents, Craven said he owed her $1,000, court documents say. She reportedly denied owing him the money, but said that when she returned from her trip, she would split the contents of her piggy bank with him. The couple reportedly both contributed change to the piggy bank when they were together.
The ex-girlfriend's friend, 21-year-old Meagan E. Smith, house-sat for her family while they were gone.
Smith was also supposed to pick the family up from the airport the night of July 7, but she never showed up. The family acquired another ride and went home to find Smith dead in their kitchen about 11:23 p.m. Craven's ex-girlfriend implicated Craven during the 911 call reporting Smith's death, reports say.
A .22 caliber shell was found near Smith's body and a piggy bank, usually kept in the ex-girlfriend's upstairs bedroom, was on the kitchen counter.
Craven's ex-girlfriend received texts from him about killing her and her family, she told police. While talking to police at the Renton police station, Craven called her and told her to pick him up at the downtown Renton Walgreens.
Police responded to the scene and found Craven near the drug store. He refused to comply with officers' demands to stop, instead dropping a black bag and continuing to walk away. Cops eventually applied a Taser to him and detained him.
Officers obtained a search warrant for the bag Craven dropped and found a birthday card the ex-girlfriend hand-made for him and the break-up letter she wrote to him.
Craven refused to comply with detectives when they attempted to interview him.

Kathie Lee Gifford's 87-year-old mother recently went to be with the Lord. During this difficult time, Kathie Lee has received a huge outpouring of love and support from friends and fans all across the country.
Yesterday, Kathie Lee was able to speak candidly about her late mother on the Today Show. Telling the viewers how incredibly inspiring her mom was saying that her mom wasn't afraid of dying because she knew where she was going. Kathie Lee said it beautifully, [mom had] "the strongest faith of anyone I've ever known." Kathie then went on to talk about the amazing legacy Joan left.
She spoke about how everyone at Joan's elderly care facility would talk about how Joan led them to the Lord, or how Joan prayed with them, one person also said that Joan had given her a Bible. Joan had every excuse in the book not to trust Jesus as her Lord and savior. She was an orphan and had loss upon loss throughout her life.
But despite all of that, she chose to follow Christ. Kathie Lee went on to talk about how strong her mom was saying, "Do you know what she always remembered? What she had. What she still had," she said. "And she had the Lord in a deep, deep way."
What an incredible blessing Joan was to the world. I am smiling from ear to ear thinking about how right now she is dancing with Jesus. Our thoughts and prayers go out to Kathie Lee and her family during this difficult time. God bless!
What's Heaven like? It's a question or thought many people have. Let's look at what the Bible teaches!
Some might think we become angels and spend our days playing a harp on a cloud. Or that good deeds get you there on merit. But what does the Bible really have to say about Heaven? A lot, actually. Let's go ahead and explore five truths from the Bible today!
In John 14, Jesus is in the upper room with the disciples; it's his final moments with men who will continue his work after his death. Because of the limited time left before he's arrested, Jesus is careful to share thoughts he finds very important to impart one last time.
It's here that Jesus mentions his Father has a place of many rooms and that he himself is going to prepare it. In addition, it's in Hebrews we learn God has prepared a city for us.
It's why we don't feel quite at home on Earth; or at least, we shouldn't. Because this isn't our eternal home. Our country is Heaven and we should long to be there with God. It's a comforting and encouraging thought, in the midst of our restlessness in life, to know that God is preparing a place specifically for those who will get to enjoy it for eternity!
It's important to remember that not everyone will enter Heaven. It's not because God is cruel or unforgiving; in fact, His very nature is the exact opposite! But the truth is, sin cannot live in His presence. As a result, only those who have fully surrendered their life to Christ will enter.
Many might think that as long as you're a good person, you'll go to Heaven. This is a misleading myth in our society and one that will hold many back. In Matthew 7, we read that many will stand before God and proclaim they did good; they will believe they should be there based off of their good works. But only those who laid it all down for the glory of Christ will enter.
RELATED: Here Are 10 Powerful Reasons To Believe In Heaven
If this is you—if you're a good person but know you truly lack an intimate relationship with Christ—please know today that only those who have committed their life to Christ will spend eternity in Heaven. Will you commit?
Hebrews 11:13-16, 2 Corinthians 5:2
One thing that's important to remember as you live out your life on Earth is to carry with you a longing for Heaven. If you are a believer, your home isn't Earth but is an eternal place in the presence of God.
Our best day on Earth will never compare to a day in Heaven. The Bible makes it clear that this place we are now is temporary and isn't our true home. As you walk through life on this planet, carry with you the knowledge that your home is far superior to this place and long for it!
Some might say that to become focused on Heaven leaves us ineffective on Earth. C.S. Lewis shares, "It is since Christians have largely ceased to think of the other world that they have become so ineffective in this one." In reality, carrying with you this longing—this eternal perspective—will allow you to be more effective while on Earth.
1 Corinthians 13:9-10, Revelation 7:15, 22:3
No, you won't spend all day every day playing the harp on some cloud but you will be busy! It's anticipated that Heaven will be a place where we'll still be learning and continue to use our gifts to serve.
In 1 Corinthians 13, it's mentioned that the angels would give anything to be in on the knowledge, inferring that they don't know all things. In addition, only God is all knowing. In Heaven, we can expect to learn and grow!
RELATED: The 10 Things Satan Doesn't Want You To Know
Heaven will also be a place where we serve and work. Revelation mentions this a few times; how we will be serving God. Work is good for us all--it's why in the garden God gave us work to do.
Needless to say, Heaven is a fascinating place where we'll never be bored!
2 Corinthians 5:1-10, 1 Corinthians 15:35-58
In Heaven we will not be the same as we were here. We will have a renewed body that is imperishable; that is free from the effects of sin and time.
On Earth our bodies face many challenges: physical limitations, sin, time, pain, and defects. But in Heaven we will be free from these elements and enjoy a body for all eternity. And just as our bodies will be physically renewed, so they will be spiritually. We will get to walk in the fullness and outward evidence of the Holy Spirit.
Remember what C.S. Lewis said and know that carrying a heavenly, eternal perspective and longing for Heaven only makes us more effective on Earth!

If you believe someone had broken a rule, report it to staff. Usually, reports are posted on their message wall and titled "Report". Messages in a report cannot be removed or altered by staff.
Helper Warnings
These are warnings handed out by Helpers or higher when they see users break minor rules they may not of known about. This type of warning doesn't actually carry any punishment, but if the problem continues, the Helper should contact a Mini-Admin or higher to hand out a Mini-Warning or Warning.
Rules that can receive a Helper Warning are marked with a [H]. A user can only receive 1 Helper Warning. When giving a Helper Warning, use this template. Template:HelperWarning
Chat Warnings
Chat Warnings are warnings handed out by Chat Mods, Discussion Mods, Mini-Admins, Admins, and Bureaucrats. They are given for breaking rules in chat. You only get 1 warning before a chat block. The warning should follow a kick from chat.
Depending on the rule broken, a normal warning may follow. Upon giving out a Chat Warning, an admin or higher must be told. They will then look into the matter and determine if a normal warning is required.
Rules that can receive a Chat Warning are marked with a [C]. Chat Warnings lose effect after a month. When giving a Chat Warning, use this template. Template:ChatWarning
Mini-Warnings are handed out by Mini-Admins or higher. These warnings are handed out for more serious rules. The purpose of Mini-Warnings is mainly for new users who broke a larger rule and didn't know.
Rules that can receive a Mini-Warning are marked with a [M]. A user can only receive 1 Mini-Warning ever. Mini-Warnings When giving a Mini-Warning, use this template. Template:MiniWarning
Warnings are handed out by admins or higher. If you break a rule after receiving 3 warnings, you will be blocked. Lower warnings can also be overwritten by normal warnings.
All rules can receive a Warning, even those that can receive lesser warnings. Warnings are active until they lose effect after 2 months. When giving a Warning, use this template. Template:Warning If the user is onto their 3rd warning, use this template. Template:Warning3
Chat Block
Chat Blocks occur when you break rules in chat after a Chat Warning. Chat Blocks prevent the user from joining chat.
When giving a Chat Block, use this template. Template:ChatBlock
Blocks occur when you break rules after a having 3 warnings. Blocks prevent you from editing on the wiki and joining chat.
When giving a Block, use this template. Template:Block
Mute Block
Mute Blocks happen when you continue breaking rules after being blocked. Mute Blocks prevent you from editing, talking, joining chat, and are usually longer than a normal block.
When giving a Mute Block, use this template. Template:MuteBlock
Permanent Block
If within a 6 month span, someone is blocked 3 times, they will be given a permanent block. This block will never expire, but can be debated on their wall.
Permanent Mute Block
If after having been given a permanent block, the user continues to break rules, they will be given a permanent mute block. This block will never expire and cannot be debated.
Block Review
A block for 6 or more months handed out in the past can be reviewed to change it's time and severity. Blocks being reviewed can have already ended, but the block can't be more than a year old and the user must of been blocked more than once. The user is allowed to call for a staff vote in the event of a review. Permanent Mute Blocks are ineligible for this.
Acts are temporary states the wiki will go into when a majority of staff agree there's a large issue that needs to be dealt with quickly. Acts only last for 1 month. A vote to instate an act can be proposed at anytime by a Mini-Admin+.
Anti-Trolls Act
When in effect, this act removes the need to give warnings to a user and instantly give them a block if they've ever received a warning before. If they haven't received a warning before, then they get 1 warning, though this is ignored based on the rule broken. Mini-Warnings or less have no effect. The purpose of this act is to rid the wiki of any trolls who get creative and find ways around site rules or blocks.
Troll Elimination Act
This act is similar to the Anti-Trolls act, but is more extreme. Unlike most other acts, this one requires both a majority of staff and users to agree. It also only lasts for 2 days. When in place, staff can ban anyone who is suspected of being a troll, even when a rule has yet to be broken.
Staff Votes
Full Staff Vote
A Full Staff Vote is a vote of all staff members to come to a decision.
If it isn't clear that a rule was broken, a vote will shortly be held from members of staff (Interns are not included). If the vote deems the actions to have broken rules, the rule breaker will receive a punishment. If the vote deems the actions to not of broken the rules, the rule breaker will have no punishment. All staff must get their votes in within 48 hours. If it does end with a tie, the current Intern will be allowed to vote.
Mini-Staff Vote
A Mini-Staff Vote is a vote of all Admins and Bureaucrats to come to a decision.
Mini-Staff votes are the same as a Staff vote, except it only includes Admins and Bureaucrats. This is meant to make the vote as fast as possible for specific circumstances. The Head Mini-Admin will be allowed to vote in the event of a tie. A Mini-Staff vote over Warnings always happen first, then are fallowed by the Full Staff vote.
Head Vote
Head Votes are meant to come to a quick decision on a specific topic. There are 2 types of Head Votes. The votes only include people who relate to the subject.
Head Content Votes are meant to come to a decision regarding pages.
The Heads of Content Mods, Mini-Admins, Admins, and Bureaucrats all vote. If a tie happens, the Head Rollback also votes.
Head Discussion Votes are meant to come to a decision regarding forums.
The Heads of Discussion Mods, Mini-Admins, Admins, and Bureaucrats all vote. If a tie happens, the Head Chat Mod also votes.
Questions & Answers
I got a warning (or similar) and I don't think I should of gotten it!
This is completely left up to admins and higher. If it's less than a warning, you may contact an admin or higher over it. If it's from an admin or higher, you can try appealing to the admin or another admin.
Am I allowed to vote if I have a Mini-Warning or less?
Yes, only people with active normal warnings aren't allowed to vote.
Can I be blocked without a warning?
Yes, but it depends on the situation and rules broken.
For example, if you came onto the wiki and spammed chat a bunch, created troll and spam pages, and posted pornography all over the wiki, you would be blocked without any warning at all.
Can I ask to be blocked? If so, can I be unblocked at anytime?
Yes? You can request an admin or higher to block you. But since there was no rules broken, the block can be requested to be lifted.
Are warnings still in effect after I'm blocked and it ends?
Sorta, it depends on how long you were blocked. If your block lasted longer than 2 months, then yes. But if you only had a 1 week block, no. A 2 month+ block would result in the warning system resetting. But a less than 2 month block would still have active warnings that would get you blocked again if you break any rules.
My 1st warning expired and I was still blocked!
Warnings' expiration is the most recent one. So even if you have a 2 month old warning, it's still valid if you have a more recent warning that you got within those 2 months. If your most recent warning is expired, then all your warnings expired.
Someone broke the rules and didn't get a warning!
Do any staff know about this? I suggest reporting it as soon as possible if they don't.
Do staff have to follow these rules?
Yes, the wiki staff must follow the rules.
Can a rule be re-added if it's removed by vote?
Yes, but only by a vote to re-add it. Staff cannot re-add rules that were removed by vote. Staff also can't remove rules that were added by vote without a vote.

Benedict XVI made his final public appearance as pope before tearful crowds at Castel Gandolfo, the papal summer residence, on February 28.
Benedict officially ceased to be the Pope at 20:00 local time, taking on his new title of pope emeritus.
The retiring pope said he was "no longer the supreme pontiff of the Catholic Church" – but "simply a pilgrim who is starting the last phase of his pilgrimage on this earth."
He stepped down after nearly eight years in office, becoming the first pontiff to resign for 600 years.
Benedict pledged "unconditional obedience and reverence" to his successor – and told the cardinals who will chose the next pope to follow the guidance of God in that task.
Earlier, bells rang out from St. Peter's Basilica and churches all over Rome, as the outgoing pope bid farewell to monsignors, nuns, Vatican staff and Swiss Guards.
In a final tweet, Benedict thanked his flock for their love and support and wished that they may "always experience the joy that comes from putting Christ at the centre of your lives."

PSFK Founder Sits Down With Michelin Star Chef Edi Frauneder
Piers Fawkes learns from restauranteur the ins-and-outs of the industry: food trends, hiring culture, online presence and operating local
Edi Frauneder famously won a Michelin Star only six months after opening his first restaurant in New York City. But a few years later, the Austrian-born restaurateur left the fine-dining experience of Seasonal to revisit what he strove for: to renew his spirit. Since then, Edi has opened four restaurants and one bar in Manhattan that are styled in a more relaxed European manner of dining and entertaining. Piers Fawkes, Founder and Editor-In-Chief of PSFK.com, sat and spoke to him about the insights that drive his work, food trends and the importance of connecting with the community around him.
We meet around noon on a Monday at one of his restaurants, Edi & The Wolf, in Alphabet City. The place is closed for lunch. The chairs are upside down, up on all the tables except for the table we sit at by the front of the restaurant. Around Edi is family. His wife Tracey is about to breastfeed his baby son, his mother provides the matriarchal watch over the pair and his brother-in-law Uriah dives into the plate of food before him.
Edi: To cook well is not enough. I had a Michelin star for several years and I can tell you it did not bring me much luck. You fall into this trap of being 'fine dining'—of long, long dining hours, small portion size at higher per unit cost.
Fine dining is a drag. I didn't like the person I became. I was really harsh on my employees. You have to be involved in every single step of the product. Something will always go wrong in the kitchen because a lot of moving parts is how you deal with it.
The pressure of having a Michelin star reflects also upon the leadership of the establishment. It becomes really militaristic. You yell at people at a peanut's length.
It's a high-pressure, low-margin-for-mistake environment: two factors which makes weak minds break and strong minds impatient.
The front of the restaurant has an open and pulled-back concertinaed window across the front. The seats are shielded somewhat by a menagerie of potted plants and hanging vines that surround the entrance. Edi waves at people who pass in the same way he waved at me when I couldn't see the sign for the restaurant—he shoots this big arm up like he's raising his hand for a question. People yell back as they push and pull their cargo along the sidewalk.
Edi: Ideally you want to create a restaurant where people can go two, three times a week, and you change it often enough in order to make it enticing and interesting but you still embrace the neighborhood around you.
Going local needs to be preserved, and I think the restaurant business can be one anchor of this locality. I think that it was John Maynard Keynes who said to spend your money locally. It adds three times the value to your environment than outsourcing it from another state or from another country.
A bell-tower's thick, snaking rope hangs from the ceiling and divides the front of the dining room from bar, kitchen and the rear. The restaurant is layered—both in physical space and the look. It's like a small cavern that wraps back from dining area to bar to kitchen and then through the other side to the garden. The walls have shelves that are stacked with things that, upon inspection, become cannon shells, abstract red art, ancient honeycombs. It's obscure, it's theatrical.
Edi: As a restaurateur you can try to create the cool, hot, hip space that's going to connect the next avant-garde food trend. But I think the longevity of a restaurant is in producing something sustainable, which is number one. People can understand. They can relate to it. They feel good eating it. Also, a huge amount of authenticity is part of it.
I think the best restaurants are the ones who are embraced by the neighborhood. I think that's the key, because if the neighborhood is not behind you, and to be purely destination, or a special occasion destination, then the air gets really thin.
It takes time to embrace the neighborhood and to pick the right kind of concept. We don't multiply concepts. This is not a franchise: Edi & the Wolf is a homage to the Austrian wine tavern, The Third Man is an homage to the American bar in Vienna, and Freud is an homage to the Viennese coffee shop.
Edi leaves to get me a chicken sandwich from his friends at Bobwhite Counter. Uriah talks to me about the future of currency and Bitcoin. He is in the shadows of a European brown café wearing a black chiffon shirt with cheetah-patterned collars and cuffs while a rolled bandana wraps around his head and holds up a massive gathering of curls. The MIT student says he's going to help fix Bitcoin and then he will reinvent it. Edi returns with an aluminum-wrapped bun on a plate and a can of sparkling Austrian soda.
Edi: If you are Dan Barber, you can at least try this fully vertically integrated system of farm-to-table, where you have your own farm. Only a fraction of chefs can have their Rockefeller estate given to them and become a farmer.
The sandwich is perfect. Fried chicken in a bun with pickle. 2 slices. I add Edi's homemade ketchup under the top slice of the bun—as is his suggestion—and then I apply hot sauce to the coleslaw. I remind myself to enjoy this slowly—but my bites are large. I ask him about online media and reviews because I doubt that he could possibly find the time to think about such things. I get surprised.
Edi: I think reacting to online reviews is important. It's very important at all the times. It's way more important at the very beginning to identify problems on an early stage or also a certain trend within a neighborhood or not. I react to them myself. I try to go 'Sherlock Holmes' style.
Ideally, you can get a first name and then work out what night that person probably came and then look up their phone number in the reservations. You can call people up. Sometimes it works. Sometimes it doesn't work. Last time I had a customer saying that he did not like the elbow rubbing at the communal table, and he said that although the food was very good, he expected something else.
I said, "Listen, unfortunately I wasn't there that night. Sorry that the seating wasn't entirely like you expected. I would like you to give us a second opportunity to come in. Please let me know when you're coming because I would love to be there."
This is the ideal situation. You cannot do it all the time. But if you do complaint management right, you can only win.
[Voice over] A hot staffer huddles a large paper bag under his arm out of the restaurant. His hair is damp around the sides from sweat. The weather is a baking 90 degrees in the sun. Edi refuses to let him take his bicycle and orders him a car from his phone. In a few minutes the car arrives and a cooler employee leaves.
Edi: That was Mark. Mark is my chef at Edi & The Wolf. Super nice guy. Nice, giving, very savvy with his management style, very food-oriented, but in a smart way. He likes to buy seasonally, doesn't over prep, doesn't under prep, manages his people very well, trains them very well. Very open for comments. Doesn't take them as personally as a lot of chefs.
You know how chefs are true restaurateurs when they really think that their restaurant is an extension to their psyche or their character. They sacrifice their time for the family, partially their savings, their life, their energy, their youth, you name it.
Of course, when people sacrifice that much and put that much input in there and then get criticized for it, they take it very personally. Somebody will always have something to say. It's human nature. We love to share more negative than positive. It's just the nature of the beast.
I just talked to Mark about the flat bread being not as seasonal as it could be, and it's really well cooked, and it's really tasty right now here, but it could be a bit lighter, and it could be giving more justice to the bounty of the summer.
He's like, "Edi, you're absolutely right. Let me just change it." I tell him, "No problem. Go for it. It's your canvas."
I think I'm lucky with my hiring strategy. My saying is, "I'd rather hire nice people than very capable people." If they are nice and capable—even better for me, but hire nice ones because what they need to know for you, you can teach them yourself. Being nice is a character trait. It's either you have it or you don't have it.
His mother is now pouring waters, brushing the table with a napkin. She doesn't understand my questions to her in English. Edi explains that she is here as part of the support crew for the baby Edi (or maybe Uri, he and his wife haven't decided).
Edi: I grew up in Vienna, in the bakery and the pastry shop of my parents. I was making pastries, and bread and everything. Then, after completing that apprenticeship, I realized I wasn't a baker, so I went to culinary school in Vienna—and while I was at school at day, I also studied business administration in the evenings. Three years later, I knew that I had to get out of there.
After a year as the private chef of the Austrian Ambassador in the UK, I got a call from my buddy here in the US. He said, "Hey Edi, do you want to help me open a place in New York?" He told me that there was a private delegates' dining room for the German mission at the UN.
So I moved to New York four weeks before September 11.
It took us a while to recover.
After two or three years, we knew that we wanted to open a new restaurant but we couldn't afford it. So we founded a catering company. This created the financial cushion needed to open a restaurant and it also showed people that we can offer high quality food at manageable prices, which is the key in the restaurant business. If you don't know how to do that, then don't go into this business.
Then, finally, after six years being here in the city, we signed the lease and started construction for Seasonal.
Six months after opening, we received a Michelin star. But I got really bored after three years and left to open Edi & The Wolf.
The street is quieter now. Lunchtime deliveries are over. The family has left to put the baby down. Except for the Puerto Ricans who sit near an open door along the street, everyone has gone on their way or hurried indoors to escape the pounding heat. I ask him what he would do if we could dream anything. Would he open in Montauk? For a moment he struggles to find an answer.
Edi: My dream is just to…hey, hang on one sec!?
I thought I was living my dream!!
