Though it has just a few thousand followers, the book has been translated into 20 languages, including Arabic, Chinese, Croatian, and Portuguese. The first three parts of The Urantia Book describe a complicated universe with invisible seraphim and spirit and semi-spirit beings of all sorts the last part tells the story of Jesus’ entire life in detail, all 36 years. “Lucifer, Satan, Melchizedek, Adam and Eve, and Jesus are all extra-terrestrial beings who have visited Earth,” Mo Siegel, who is still intimately involved with The Urantia Book and the Urantia Book Fellowship, tells us in “The Twenty Most-Asked Questions.” In fact, Adam and Eve were brought to Earth to “upstep the human race” (more on that later). There are so many wild ideas in The Urantia Book that it’s hard to know where to start. (You can download the entire thing for free: Because the Urantia Foundation asserts that its authorship is superhuman, an Arizona court ruled in 1995 that it’s not protected by copyright and is, thus, in the public domain.) In reality, it was likely authored in the early 1900s by a psychiatrist named William Sadler, who used it as a vessel for his racist ideas. The Urantia Book, a 4.3-pound, 2,097-page tome, published first in 1955, is a modified Seventh-Day Adventist text supposedly communicated to an anonymous man in a trance by aliens. I was searching for truth and the book was loaded with it.” “I wanted spiritual adventure, and I was on the ride of my life. “I had wanted bold I found bold,” he wrote. In You’ve GOT to Read This Book! 55 People Tell the Story of the Book That Changed Their Life, Siegel discloses that the ideals he gathered from The Urantia Book guided how he ran Celestial Seasonings from the beginning and provided a moral compass for himself and his employees. In fact, the religious text is responsible for much more than the name of the company. In no time the friends were sauntering into the local bank to get a loan for their new business, “wearing jeans, smelling of herbs, and armed with Tupperware containers of Mo’s 36 and Sleepytime blends.” They called their company Celestial Seasonings, after co-founder Lucinda Ziesing’s flowername.īut there might be another reason they named it “celestial.” Mo Siegel and John Hay, two of the founders, were avid believers in a new-age bible called The Urantia Book, which followers call “an epochal revelation authored solely by celestial beings.” The book touches upon everything from mind control to a eugenics plot to eliminate the “inferior races” of our great nation. On those first hikes, the team harvested enough herbs for 500 pounds of a blend they called Mo’s 36 Herb Tea, and the sleep-conjuring tea made of chamomile, spearmint, and other herbs soon followed. The group wanted to get into the business. The concept that “tea” could be herbal was innovative in itself, since up until then, all tea in America and Great Britain was made of the plant Camellia sinensis. ![]() One of the friends, Mo Siegel, was serving an Asian herbal tea to customers in a local shop to much success in 1969. But once there, the taste is rather pleasant and friendly.This article by Megan Giller originally appeared on Van Winkles, the publication devoted to sleep.īefore Sleepytime became the crown jewel of Celestial Seasonings, with 1.6 billion cups sold per year, before the company became the largest tea manufacturer in North America, the tea was nothing more than a dream in the heads of a few flowerchildren hiking up the Rocky Mountains in search of herbs. I have to steep this to death and stir the bag 'round-n-'round for several minutes to pull out enough flavor to appreciate. ![]() It could use a couple notches more potency. I feel a tad dirty about self-plagiarizing, but since the tea looks, smells, and tastes the same as Sleepytime to me, what I said there is valid here: "The main impediment to a higher score is the mildness of the flavor. For me this is merely a relaxing tea, not outstanding, but pleasant, and in the last cup a few days ago, I noticed no substantial difference in its effect on me before bedtime or while sleeping. I'm writing this an hour after polishing off a cup, two hours after working an all-night shift, and notice no difference in cognition or sleepiness than usual for this stage of my (admittedly backwards) circadian cycle. The only difference I've detected between this product and regular Sleepytime is the addition of valerian root to the ingredients list, and a caution on the side of the box about not driving or operating machinery after using, as if this is some herbal-tea version of Ambien or Sominex.

But don’t worry because your cat can still be comfortable even while wearing the muzzle. Sometimes, cats can react negatively based on what they see and so, covering their eyes may prevent this.

The safest thing to do is to get a cat muzzle before accidents happen. This is a common scenario in veterinary clinics or when grooming the pets. But the truth is that both pets can attack aggressively when they feel uncomfortable especially to strangers.

The All-American Rejects can sometimes be one of those bands who nearly slips under the emo radar until you remember how many bangers they had. ‘Dirty Little Secret’ – The All-American Rejects It still hurts to listen to this, but the best gift Chester Bennington gave us was that his music, and way of describing feelings you never knew you had, will always live on.Ģ6. You Me At Six were starting to garner worldwide attention in the ’00s and it’s easy to see why with catchy songs like ‘Underdog’ – even if their 2011 collab with Oli Sykes ‘Bite My Tongue’ is the best song they ever did do. ![]() If you didn’t sit there with friends yelling “WHERE ARE YOU?

If you owned the Kill Pop: Scream Til It Hurts compilation album in the ’00s, then you know. Also let’s not forget how great follow-up single ‘Going Under’ is. Evanescence were a band that completely broke the mold. To this day, this is still a fucking banger. ![]() No wonder our parents worried about us if this was always blaring out of our rooms. The chorus of this song is about as emo as it gets. While Williams has now retired this song from playing it live due to not supporting its overall message anymore, we can’t pretend like we didn’t dance around our bedrooms to it growing up.ġ4. There weren’t many female-fronted bands that broke through the ’00s emo wave, but Paramore and fearless lead singer Hayley Williams made sure they broke through with a vengeance. Catchy AF, but leaves your head as instantly as it arrives. This was some cheesy, easy listening emo/pop punk at its finest. ‘The Curse of Curves’ – Cute Is What We Aim For While a lot of emo nostalgia lists focus on your MCR’s and FOB’s, let’s pour one out for Welsh band Funeral For A Friend. Trust me when I say now you’ve been reminded of this song, it’ll be in your head for weeks. TBH I was never a Simple Plan fan, but you don’t get much more emo than this.ġ0. ![]() Still releasing music to this day, ‘I Caught Fire’ was one of those tracks that proved they could do emo really well, but they could do pop punk just as good. If you didn’t angrily blast the chorus of this song while thinking of someone who made your life a living hell in high school, were you even a true emo? Sure we all get so used to associating Panic’s biggest track as ‘I Write Sins, Not Tragedies’ but this has actually got to be the best song on their debut album. ‘Lying Is The Most Fun A Girl Can Have Without Taking Her Clothes Off’ – Panic!

The biggest recorded snowfall from one storm system moving through North Carolina occurred between Apand April 6, 1987. When was the biggest blizzard in North Carolina? While many are aware and lived through the storm, there’s another part of North Carolina history that is somewhat unknown although it almost destroyed the entire state.

Over 2,700 traffic accidents were reported during the storm by State Highway Patrol, some resulting in fatalities." - State of North Carolina Report Statewide and estimated 300,000 homes were left without power and over 160 thousand people were reported to be snowbound by the storm. At one point, Polk County reported 99% of its electrical customers without power. Strong winds and heavy snow brought down trees, limbs, and power lines leaving many without heat or electricity or telephone service. "The major impact to the western part of the state was from heavy snow accumulation resulting in extensive road blockages, stranded motorists, and in the mountains, lost hikers and campers. The Red Cross reported that 55 homes were destroyed and over 3,300 others were damaged by the storm. Seven deaths were reported from the storm and the state of North Carolina report summed up "The Governor declared 25 western counties and 15 eastern counties disaster areas. Mix below-20 temps with thousands stranded or without power and it's a recipe for disaster.
