![]() ![]() Repeat after me - content, content, content. And rather than limit their ability to get around that corner with combat and dying, we will just keep adding new corners to explore. But bear with me - the idea behind Myst Online is that we think people are curious about what's around the next corner. There is no leveling, no killing, no dying, no inventory, no health meter. ![]() I’d like to close with a little worship song I wrote a number of years ago.Jonric: Given it's not a "normal" online world, how would you introduce Myst Online: Uru Live? What is the basic concept? How is it related to Uru Online: Ages Beyond Myst? Rand Miller: Myst Online doesn't necessarily fit into any orthodox MMOG category, if there is such a thing. I feel peace and contentment as I allow the longings of my heart to be fulfilled. I feel a great sense of fun and adventure as I explore the possibility of finding a life partner. I feel a strong sense of God’s delight in me as His son. ![]() I feel a deep sense of freedom to be the man God created me to be. I no longer feel all that powerful pressure boiling inside me. Since ending my fight to cover up my same-sex attraction I have become more of a lighthearted guy. Proverbs 13:12 says: Hope deferred makes the heart sick, but a longing fulfilled is a tree of life. If you keep trying to stop the steam from venting, you will stay stuck in a narrow little slice of a HUGE virtual reality. In the context of the game, you must accept the fact that the steam cannot be stopped, and by harnessing its power, you will advance to new levels of play. I don’t want to disclose exactly how to solve the puzzle in Myst Online’s world of “Eder Gira”, but I will give you a bit of a hint. I felt like a piece of shit… something you just want to flush down the toilet as quickly as possible. A guilty person says, “I feel like shit!” A shamed person says, “I AM shit!” At those times when I felt powerless to combat my same-sex attraction, I truly felt tremendous shame. One thing I remember from therapy is the difference between guilt and shame. But just when I thought I had the puzzle solved… BAM!!! The pent up force erupted with a vengeance, and I repeatedly found myself right back where I started… frustrated, depressed, full of self-loathing and despair. At times I sincerely believed I was making progress, covering “ground” neatly, carefully and prayerfully with therapy, healing prayer, conferences, programs, confession, accountability and transparent disclosure to trusted others. And so, I journeyed earnestly from one ex-gay experience to the next, hoping with all of my heart and soul to prevent the force of same-sex attraction from expressing itself in ways that were unacceptable to family, friends, church and society at large. Unfortunately, I was taught from a very early age to see this force as destructive and something that must be eradicated from my life at all costs. I’ll get back to that in a bit…Ĭan you see how this little virtual journey relates to those of us who have tried to change our sexual orientation, but failed? For me, same-sex attraction was and is a powerful force in my life. He walked me through a rational approach to solving this puzzle based on the properties and power of steam. Lucky for me, my buddy is an engineer with a strong, analytical brain. Explorers then find themselves right back where they started, wondering what the heck to do with all that venting steam. Its power erupts, causing all the devices covering the holes to disengage. When explorers reach the final hole and cover it, they are frustrated to realize that the steam trapped in the ground cannot be contained. As you cover some of the holes, pent up steam vents with increased power from holes that are not yet covered. Each hole is equipped with a device that you can activate to cover the hole and stop the steam from venting. As you journey through this world you encounter several holes in the ground that are venting steam. A few days ago, my bud and I entered the world of “Eder Gira” and solved a very interesting puzzle. Are you a video gamer? A great friend of mine (also an ex-gay survivor) recently introduced me to Myst Online URU, a game where you explore new worlds and solve puzzles. ![]()

The free version of Lightworks requires that you re-register your licence every 90 days, but this only takes a few minutes. The main limitation is that you can only export at up to 720p, although on the plus side there are no watermarks. You’ll need the paid-for version for a fuller range of export options, along with some extra features like stereoscopic output and timeline rendering. But if you’re not actually producing a Hollywood movie (yet), these are limitations worth living with. Plus, if you do want to export a project into a different format, you can buy a one-month licence and then revert to the free version later. Want to edit video on your phone or tablet? Then good news. Free video editing apps are surprisingly powerful these days, and our favorite is Premiere Rush. Essentially a simplified version of Adobe’s Premiere Pro, Premiere Rush is marketed as a paid-for, subscription-based app. But there are very impressive free versions for both iOS and Android devices: you just need to choose the Starter Plan. With Premiere Rush, you get all the basic video editing features of Premiere Pro, such as adding videos to the timeline through drag-and-drop, applying transitions, and adding background music and voiceovers. You can also add credits and titles to your footage through templates, and apply either preset or manual color correction. You can export up to 4K, even in the free version, and there’s a tool to let you export to Snapchat, Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, and Vimeo in the correct aspect ratio. Note that while the free version of Premiere Rush on desktop limits you to three free video exports, there's no such restriction with the free version on mobile. The main limitation of the free Starter Plan is that you only get 2GB of cloud storage. ![]() ![]() ![]() (The lesson learned? “I will fuck the shit out of the entire world. “Over the course of seven years, wherever I went, people would say, ‘Well you know, Anastasia, we thought you were so big and fat,’” she said in a recent interview. The resulting public squabble-which included a New York Times reporter showing up at a Moscow restaurant to weigh and measure her, as well as a lawsuit, which she won-still brings her to tears. The Bolshoi’s version is that Volochkova had simply gotten fat. Volochkova’s version is that it was because of the influence of a former boyfriend of hers, a powerful billionaire. She excelled at her Swan Lake roles, but then, in 2003, the theatre fired her. Volochkova, the daughter of a Leningrad table-tennis champion, became a prima ballerina at the Bolshoi Theatre at the age of twenty-two, in 1998. Because if this is the first step of this vengeance, then I don’t know what form the future steps will take.” “But at the end I started weeping, because I was extremely upset with what had occurred.” She went on, now angrily, “I don’t know what will become of me later. “I performed this song in one breath, trying not to show my audience that something was not right,” she recounted. The last number of her performance in Togliatti was a song, “Applause,” written for her by one of her show-business friends. Her bedazzled gold phone kept interrupting her with the chorus from Michael Jackson’s “Smooth Criminal.” Swans adorned her bejeweled velvet backpack, as they do nearly every accessory she has. Heavily made up, with tattooed eyebrows, she was sipping a cup of rum-spiked tea. ![]() “Of course, I was extremely upset,” Volochkova recalled on a recent wintry afternoon, in her office up the street from the Kremlin. She found out backstage that the special had only aired in the Russian Far East and Kazakhstan before the switch was made. Volochkova had been looking forward to watching the program-she had asked friends to tape it because she would be on stage in Togliatti when it aired. ![]() Unofficially, he is United Russia’s chief ideologist, its Karl Rove, its Grey Cardinal. Officially, Surkov is the Russian President’s first deputy chief of staff. The channel on which the television program was scheduled to run, Channel 1, is the country’s main station, and is majority-owned by the Kremlin, and overseen by Vladislav Surkov. She wrote on her blog: “At the very end of the show, right before I entered the stage for the final number, my director told me that the show ‘Let Them Talk,’ dedicated to my birthday, had been taken off the air.” Volochkova blamed a man named Vladislav Surkov. In this sense, Anastasia Volochkova is a real woman.” Then, on February 11th, when Volochkova was on tour with her new show, “Applause,” in the southern city of Togliatti-Russia’s Detroit-a television segment celebrating her thirty-fifth birthday was scheduled to air during a popular talk show. She announced her decision in a radio interview-seemingly on a whim-and referred to the party of Vladimir Putin as “that fucking party” and “that shit into which I was careless enough to step.” United Russia posted a short statement on its Web site: “Women, like children, are inclined to changes in mood. Earlier this month, Volochkova cut her ties with the country’s ruling party, United Russia, which had enlisted her as a celebrity spokesperson. ![]() ![]() We recently stayed at your location in Key West from 9/26 - 10/1 for my wife’s 50th birthday trip. Don't get me wrong, we love the Pier House, just felt that the service left alot to be desired this trip. My husband spoke to the manager who said she would look into and took his cell # saying she would be in touch. When we complained to the front desk we were asked "why didn't you call a cab?". We began walking in that direction hoping to catch it and were only a block away when it finally came. Lastly, we used the shuttle service one day to take us to the Truman House and was told we could get it to return back on Duval St every 30 minutes. In our room, a coffee stir was left on the night stand for two days in a row. We also asked for side plates that were never brought. Two of the orders were incorrect (no ham in my omelet, sausage was in, not on the side for another). We ate breakfast at One Duval on our last morning there and was also disappointed in the service there as well. Nick, our waiter at the beach one day was very inattentive and never did return with a menu when we asked him for one. The card reader on our room door kept falling off onto the floor and had to be snapped back on multiple times. And the "large" bath towels are not really large enough to wrap around an average size adult. Had to keep a large towel there to soak it up. The shower door in our room did not seal and left a huge puddle on the floor every time we used it. We have stayed at the Pier House our last trip to Key West and were disappointed this time with some of the services. I was disappointed with the governor's closing of the bars and beaches just prior to our visit- but none of those things are the hotel's fault, thus I rated the hotel 5 stars and would stay again on our next visit to Key West. It was not cleaned up for several days, which was disgusting. Over the weekend, we noticed that some of our neighbors dropped some food in the hallway in the spa building. The Spa reopened during our stay, however, we did not utilize the spa. As all of the amenities were not available, I felt like the resort fee should have been reduced by at least half however, it was not. On the other days, I had to call to request towels, water and coffee, which were all included in the resort fee. On the 4th day of our stay I called the front desk to ensure that someone would come to service the room, and they did. Unfortunately, due to COVID-19, room service and the shuttle service were not available. Social distancing was practiced at all times. The food and service were good at all times. We ate breakfast at One Duval three times and lunch on one occasion. We were told that bar service was available by the beach however, we never saw/were approached any wait staff while we were there. The staff kept the lounge chairs clean and accessible for guests throughout the day. ![]() We did not visit the pool while we were there as we are beach people. The property is well manicured and clean for the most part. We voiced our concerns again and were upgraded from a Lanai Room to a Spa Junior Suite.

Manchester United’s NFT scheme, carried out in conjunction with blockchain firm Tezos, is rather more active than Liverpool’s - it is part of a big partnership with Tezos, which sponsors the club’s training gear. It is not a measure of the sale price of NFTs, which has fallen significantly in the case of LFC Heroes.
